    15．Imagine being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society that consisted only of members of your own sex，how would you react？（36）D  But the fact is that segregated（隔离）schools shoot up very rapidly around the world，and so many parents choose to force such abnormal conditions on their children-conditions which they themselves wouldn't put up with for one minute!
    （37）GThose advocates of segregated schools argue that children from segregated schools have greater achievements academically，socially in athletic and have greater self-confidence．Further，there are many more practical advantages in segregated schools：adolescent problems can be dealt with better and more easily．（38）B It is a wonderful proof of their worth．
    On the other side．those advocates of co-education point out that any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education．One of the chief aims of education is equip future citizens with all they require to take their places in adult society which is made up of men and women．When segregated，boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart．Competition between the sexes is developed．（39）C Children from segregated schools sometimes lack healthy attitude to life that co-education encourages．
    To sum up，every coin has double sides．（40）FIt is about time somebody explorded that theory about segregated schools being the better place for your children．

    A．You would react as if you were a puzzled parent．
    B．Lastly in many countries，the most famous schools are segregated．
    C．Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock．
    D．Unless there was something wrong with you，you wouldn't be too happy about it．
    E．When segregated，boys and girls can focus on their study．
    F．However，I believe it's far more beneficial for boys and girls to learn and play together．
    G．Many sociologists and educationalists present their views on this issue from both sides．
