Question

       Single-sex schools are better than mixed schools                     Message 1 — posted by Jane,Amsterdam 

             I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to leam,because it's natural. In higher education and their working life,they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world. 

             Message 2 — posted by Hans,Germany 

             My reaction to this is very clear. For me,single-sex schools are much better,and the statistics show that they get better exam results,particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing. 

             Message 3 — posted by Bill, USA 

             Boys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo,you don^，t put the lions in with the zebras!

             Message 4 — posted by Martin,London 

             My view on this is that it doesn^，t really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程) , and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with,and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!

             Message 5 — posted by Emily,Sydney 

             I don^，t think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools,which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.

33. A. 细节理解题。由Message 2—节中的 single-sex schools are much better和Message 3—节中的 I feel that they should be educated separately可知，Hans和Bill都认为单性别学校比男女生混合学校好，男生和女生应该分开上课。
