单选题Article one: Point out stereotypes and cultural misinformation depicted in movies, TV shows, computer games and other media. Challenge bias when it comes from friends and family members. Do not let the moment pass. Begin with a qualified statement: " Andrew just called people of XYZ faith ''lunatics''. What do you think about that, Zoe?" Let children do most of the talking. Article Two: For teens, group identity is critical. Remind them, however, that; (A) Pride in our own group does not mandate disrespect for other groups; (B ) Our group does not deserve privileges not available to other groups; (C) Other groups have just as much humanity as do ours; and ( D ) We should avoid putting other groups down as a way to elevate the status of our own group. Article Three: Look critically at how a child defines "normal". Expand the definition. Attend religious services at a variety of houses of worship. Visit playgrounds where a variety of children are present — people of different races/ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, family structures, etc. Encourage a child to spend time with elders — grandparents, for example. . . Article Four: A child who is concerned about world hunger can volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. The earlier children interact with the community, the better. This will help convey the lesson that we are not islands unto ourselves. Article Five: As a parent and as your child''s primary role model, be consistent in how you treat others. For example, how do you handle emotional issues with girls and boys? Do you attempt to distract crying boys but reassure crying girls? Does your voice take on a different tone with one group of people? Remember, you may say, "Do as I say, not as I do. " but actions really do speak louder than words. In a country, indeed a world of increasing diversity, tolerance isn''t just a nice quality to have; it''s an essential one. Now match each of the articles to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements A. Model the behavior you would like to see. B. Support your children when they are the victims of intolerance. C. Foster a healthy understanding of group identities. D. Challenge intolerance when it comes from your children. E. Identify intolerance when children are exposed to it. F. Create opportunities for children to interact with people who are different from them. G. Encourage children to call upon community resources.

单选题Scientists will be able to freeze dying people and revive them years later when a cure for their disease has been found opening the door to human immortality, predict excited experts. And their conclusions are not just pie in the sky. They are based on an astonishing experiment in which a dog was frozen for 15 minutes, then revived in perfect health! " The bottom line of experiments like this is the indefinite extension of human life!" declared Dr. Paul Segall, who conducted the frozen dog experiment. " If you''re about to die — you have an incurable disease such as AIDS, or even extreme old age — we could freeze you and stop time for you until we can cure those diseases or reverse a condition like aging. " "What we''re looking at is a gradual victory over death and aging and freezing someone and then bringing them back could be here within four years!" " Not only will freezing allow ill persons to survive until a cure for their disease if found, but it will also open up new possibilities for organ transplants, which will in turn allow people to live much longer perhaps indefinitely. " "Right now, organs taken from a person who''s recently died must be transplanted to another person within a very short time, but with the new technology, body organs could be frozen for use whenever they''re needed. " Doctors could freeze a patient''s body, then warm up just one diseased organ — a lung or a liver, for example. The person could be injected with massive doses (剂量) of drugs that would be toxic (有毒的) to the body if it weren''t frozen. "Older individuals will choose to enter freezing before death, with instructions not to be revived until a means to stop and even reverse aging is discovered. " "Without a doubt, freezing has the potential to make man immortal. And we should see our first freezing centers established within the next 10 years and probably sooner!"

单选题 Bernal Well, there are a lot of different views on this, but I think it is probably wrong to imagine that there was some golden age in the past when everything was perfect. It all depends, of course, on what you measure and how you measure it. Some people might be surprised that there has not been an obvious and dramatic increase in the standard of education, given the vast amounts of money spent in this area by successive governments in recent years. Unfortunately, most improvements in education are intangible. Carlos Many people talk about how to improve education and a lot suggest raising the salaries of teachers and professors. Of course, this is very important to education. However, increasing the salary of teachers is just one way to improve education. It will not work without the cooperation of the other determinants, such as student's interest in gaining knowledge and in reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it won't make any difference if the students are not willing to learn. Stevens Well, if you asked me, it's all these modern methods that is the problem. In the old days you sat in rows at desks and you did as you were told. You knew what you had to do and you follow the way as the teachers instructed and you kept quiet. Nowadays, my god, the noise in most schools is deafening especially in primary schools. As far as I am concerned the children wander around—do whatever they would like to. The teacher just sits there or wanders around with them, talking to them. Informal teaching they call it. Discovery methods sounds more like a recipe for discovering disaster to me. Ingersoll The criticism that what students learn today is not adapted to present-day society is utterly wrong because education can never be seen only in terms of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Instead of being trained to be utilitarian, students should be encouraged to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in. Jessica I think it's a great shame people don't learn anything today. I mean, good heavens, when you think of all the millions of pounds the Government have spent on education—new schools, more teachers, new equipment. And yet still you find people who can't read properly, can't even write their names and don't know what two and two is without a calculator. I think it's downright disgraceful. Think of the time when we were young, we went to school to learn and did as the teachers told and respected our teachers. Nowadays we get long-haired kids who aren't interested in anything. No wonder they don't learn anything. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. StatementsA. The modern methods of teaching should be responsible for the deafening noise in primary schools.B. It's shameful of some people not to learn anything with provided conditions.C. We should evaluate education from the students' aspect, how much they enjoy is what counts most.D. Raising salary of teachers and professors is the only way to improve education. E. Students' own willingness to learn really matters in terms of education. F. There is no improvement in education. G. Most of the improvements in the standard of education are intangibl
