Overall, gender(性别)differences in math tend to be small. Statements like“Boys do better than girls in math”should not be read as one that all boys perform better than all girls in math.In some recent studies almost no differences have been found. For example, in the national Assessment of Educational Progress study, there were no great difference in the average scores of eighth and twelfth grade boys and girls.
As a math teacher, I hope to do everything in my power to encourage girls to have more confidence in math. Of course I want every girl and boy in my class to see that they can succeed in math .I do not allow boys monopolize(垄断)the answering of questions in my classroom. I call on girls and boys equally and I don’t let any student get away by saying” I don’t know” or by shrugging their shoulders. I will guide students to a solution.
In one project I assign to my 8th grade algebra(几何)students, they have to research a mathematician and report to the class. I encourage as many students as possible, boys and girls, to research some of the famous female mathematicians. When the girls see how much women had to do to study mathematics years ago, it helps them to see how fortunate their opportunities are today. In this way I provide girls with positive math experiences.

We all know that everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men’s minds decline more than women’s, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
General differences seem to be natural in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel be good at recalling information from their brain’s files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.
Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.

【小题2】 However, according to a recent study, IQ can rise—not just by one or two points, but by as many as 21 points!
Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter, which was seen to grow and become denser (更加密集) in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly.
【小题3】 One is to train your short-term memory. Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence, so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power. 【小题4】
A good night’s sleep will also help improve your concentration. 【小题5】 It helps you stay focused for longer the next day.

Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 71
Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. 72 Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
73 To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.
Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading—for example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills.
Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.
Talk about what he's reading. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 74 For example:
●Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesn't?”
●During: “ 75 Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”
●After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?”
A.Reread to build fluency. |
B.What's going on in the book? |
C.Look up new words in the dictionary. |
D.Do you know all the characters in the story? |

Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more concentrated . 3. When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.
Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas. 4.
Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “5. ” "Do I share the author's point of view?" and "Am I convinced by the author's arguments and evidence?”

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。
Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says "Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain. But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences."
People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being. 1. It's a difficult process.
There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods.
Howes suggests focusing on four elements:
Express the emotion. Let yourself feel hurt and angry. Express it to the person who made you feel that way. 2. Write a letter; you don't need to send it. Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while you're in the car, alone, with the windows down.
__3. We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them. "Was it a misunderstanding? Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework (认知框架) is necessary, even if you don't like the reason."
Rebuild safety.4. That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries.
Let go. Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge (怨恨).
If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs. By letting go, you give up
your role as the victim and become equals again. 5.
A.Otherwise,talk to a friend or even an empty chair.
B.Control your feelings
C.Understand why
D.Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur
E.Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy
F.It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on
G.You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless
