Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
THE CLASSROOM is a man's world, where boys get two thirds of the teachers' attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.
These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co educational schools that single sex classes are the only answer. Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.”
The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female. In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocate d to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.” Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.
26. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.
A) single sex classes and co educational classes B) co educational classes
C) single sex classes D) None of the above
27. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____ .
A) her own lessons in secondary school and college
B) the other teachers' tape recordings
C) both male and female teachers
D) tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons
28. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?
A) They will keep the teachers' attention again.
B) They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.
C) They will play up the teacher something awful.
D) They will feel they are cheated by teachers.
29. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.
A) rough B) brave C)troublesome D) emotional
30. The best title for this passage would be ____.
A) boys are teachers' pets
B) boys do better in co educational classes
C) single sex classes are better than co eduationed classes
D) girls do better than boys

听力原文: Marriage often is not easy. Love often is not easy. Sometimes friendship between a man and a woman is not easy. Maybe a man and a woman love or like each other, but they argue. They get angry. Later they apologize (say "I'm sorry"), but it happens again and again. What's the problem? Are men and women really very different?
Deborah tannen says yes. Men and women are very different. Tannen teaches at Georgetown University. She writes books about the ways people talk. She believes that men and women talk—and think—in different ways. She tells about some differences in her book You Just Don't Understand.
The differences, Tannen says, begin when men and women are children. Very young boys and girls are similar to each other. In other words, they like the same things and play in the same ways. They aren't very different. But then there is a change. When children in the United States are five or six years old, boys usually play in large groups. One boy gives orders. For example, he says, "Take this," "Go over there," and "Be on this team." He is the leader. Boys also brag. In other words, they say good things about themselves. To have a high position in the group is important to boys.
Girls in the United States usually play in small groups or with one other girl. A girl's "best friend" is important to her. Girls don't often give orders; they give suggestions. For example, they say, "let's go over there," "Maybe we should do this," and "Do you want to play with that?" Girls don't usually have a leader, and they don't often brag. Everyone has an equal position.

A.Life is not easy.
B.Marriage often is not easy.
C.Love often is not easy.
D.Sometimes friendship between a man and a woman is not easy.

In a five-day period in early June eight girls were brought to New Milford Hospital after what hospital officials call suicidal gestures. The girls, all between 12 and 17, tried a variety of measures, including heavy doses of alcohol. over-the-counter medicines and cuts or scratches to their wrists. None was successful, and most didn't require hospitalization;but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of suburban life. “I was just sick of it all, ”one told a reporter, “Everything in life. ”Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark. But coming in the wake of at least sixteen suicide attempts over the previous few months.this sudden cluster—along with the influx of media—has set this well-groomed suburb of 23,000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, “We're talking about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand. ”Later he added,“There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here. ”
Sobo said that the girls he treated didn't have serious problems at home or school. “Many of these were popular kids, ”he said, “They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swath of teens here are not making it. ”Some say that drugs, both pot and‘real drugs’, are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms. A few girls casually display scars on their arms where they cut themselves. “You'd be surprised how many kids try suicide, ”said one girl, 17. “You don't want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself. ”She said she used to cut herself“just to release the pain”.
Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in, June, said one was having family problems, one was“upset that day”and the third was“just upset with everything else going on”. She said they weren't really trying to kill themselves—they just needed concern. As Sobo noted, “What's going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford. ”The same underlying culture of despair could be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a“contagion”. Right now New Milford has the bug-and has it bad.
What is the main subject of the passage?
A.Eight girls committed suicide in New Milford.
B.The village Green is not a charming place.
C.Teenager suicide.
D.Dr. Simon Sobo's achievements.
