     Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in
the developing world.Women's education may be an unusual field for economists, but increasing women's
contribution to development is actually as much an economic issue as a social one. And economics, with
its focus on incentives(鼓勵(lì)), provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剝奪)an
education.
     Parents in low income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to
make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else' s family
and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework
while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy(預(yù)言)becomes self fulfilling, trapping women in a
vicious circle(惡性循環(huán))of neglect. 
     An educated mother, on the other hand,has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an
entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the
development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of
her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be
educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
     Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits.But it has enormous economic
advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female
workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are 
impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating
women also has a significant effect on health practices, including family planning.

     Dennis Hopper, who was described as "Easy Rider's" biker Billy and "Blue Velvet's", died of cancer
Saturday morning at his home in Venice, California. He was 74.
     Hopper, who was diagnosed with cancer last October, was surrounded by his children and wife when
he died. The American film star made his last public appearance on March 26, 2010, when his star was
addressed on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
     Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, on May 17, 1936. He grew up in San Diego,
California, and got an early reputation for stage work. Making his way to Hollywood while still in his teens,
he quickly earned roles in several films and TV shows, including "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955), in which
he met James Dean, who became a friend and life-long model.
     Hopper maintained a somewhat not smooth career through the mid-60s. But it was 1967s. "The Trip",
directed by "King of the B's" Roger Corman, that made the actor popular with audience and two of his
"Easy Rider" colleagues, actor Peter Fonda and "The Trip" writer Jack Nicholson.
     In early 1968, Hopper led the group through his own low-budget film, a biker road movie about two
riders who travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans. "Easy Rider" was finally released in the summer of
1969, and was very popular after 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate", the breakthrough that
set free the baby boomer generation on Hollywood.
     The film, made on the fly by Hopper and co-star Fonda for less than $ 500,000, became one of the
most popular movies of its time.
     Among his recent roles were a villain (反面人物) in the TV series "24" and an officer in the short-lived
TV show "E-Ring". He was starring in the TV version of the Oscar-winning film "Crash" at his death,
playing a record producer. He was named a chevalier (功勛人物) of France's Order of Arts and Letters
in 2008.

     閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在表格中的空白處填入恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。
     注意：每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。
     One reason Americans eat so many calories is that we tend to eat large portions (分量). Studies find
that hamburgers and fries are generally offered in serving sizes two to five times larger than the appropriate meal size. Researchers find we usually clean our plates no matter how high they're piled, even if we already
feel satisfied. See the suggestions below to further master the fine art of sizing up 估量) your snacks and
suppers.
     Extremely large portions are one possible reason Americans continue getting fatter even as the
percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years. Fortunately, portions are relatively
simple to control because it's easier to count cookies than calories or grams of fat.
Pre-picture portions. Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat of a food before you pick
up your fork or spoon. For example, a half cup of low-fat granola is about the size of your fist. A half cup
of low-fat ice cream equals half an orange.
      Use a smaller dish. This tip might sound ridiculous, but it works. First and mostobvious is that you
can't put as much food on, say, a salad plate. But psychologically, you're just not as prone to eat as
heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds.
     Have raw vegetables at every meal. Raw cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and peppers have few
calories and lots of nutrients. A plate of them in the middle of the table almost always gets eaten up,
cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat.
   Start your meal with soup. Studies show that a bowl of soup at the start of the meal reduces overall
meal consumption, since they are lowest in calories and highest in nutrients.  
     Manage your fork. After every bite of food, put your fork down. Don't pick it up until you have
thoroughly chewed and swallowed the previous bite. The goal is both to slow down your eating and to
eat less. Remember: Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that
you are no longer hungry.
Helpful hints on how to get a handle on the how-much factor
Facts Hamburgers and fries served in restaurants are generally two to five times the 1______of the
proper ones. Americans usually clean their plates 2 ______high they're piled, even if they are
already satisfied
Effects Americans continue getting fatter even as they have  eaten 3 ______calories from fat in recent
years.
4 ___      a. Use 5 ______objects to imagine how much you should eat of a food before a meal.
b. Use a smaller dish and thus eat 6 ______.
c. Have raw vegetables at every meal to cut down 7 ______    for the more calorie-dense
meat.
d. Start your meal with 8. ______to reduce meal consumption.
e. Put down your fork at 9 ______to make sure your brain receives 10______that you're full.

任務(wù)型讀寫

       Directions : Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A---E for each paragraph. 

A. Classroom participation

B. Differences in American university education

C. Examination system

D. Competition among students

E. Honest policy in students' school work

F. (AB) Students' responsibility for learning

56                

There is considerable variety in university classrooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula (課程), no two courses are the same.    Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges， which are free and open to everyone.

57                

Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.

58                

Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.

59                

Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. Thus, cheating on tests, Plagiarizing (抄襲) in written work, presenting other's ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited (禁止).

60                 

Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.
