School failure appears to trouble teenage girls more deeply than boys, US researchers said on Tuesday.

  They said adolescent(青春期的)girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boys with similar experiences.

  “For girls it is more serious to be school failure,” said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

  “We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls,” McCarty said in a statement.

  The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington, and included people from 18 schools in high-crime neighborhoods.

  The group was separated evenly by gender(性別)and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups.

  Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure, but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17percent for the boys.

  “This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe consequences when it does occur,” McCarty said.

  60. What is the purpose of writing this article?

      A Taking good care of the school boys.

      B Asking the US researchers to search more evidences.

      C Giving help to the graduated students.

      D Paying more attention to the girls experiencing school failure.

 61. Carolyn McCarty is ______________

      A a scientist     B a researcher     C a professor     D a student

 62. The underlined word”it” in para.4 means__________

     A school failure    B a adolescent girl    C a school boy    D a university

  63.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?

     A School failure appears to trouble teen-age girls more deeply than boys

     B Girls are more possible to experience school failure

     C Gender has decided how much success you will win

     D Adolescent girls are more easily depressed than boys

Dear Boris,

     ___1____

After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. ___2____ Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.

__3____ Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food.

I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful. ___4____ On the other hand, habits are different. People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. ___5____

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(傳統(tǒng)). Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.

Love from Britain.

                                                           Peter

A. The weather in London is really changeable.

B. I have difficulty in understanding my classmates.

C. Thanks for your nice letter.

D. The family I live with are friendly.

E. It’s very different from what I learned at school.

F. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.

G. But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising.

　【小題1】　
Today，kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
　【小題2】　 I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus，just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise­free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
●　【小題3】　
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get，the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends，he can “blow off some steam” so to speak，as well as re­energize.　【小題4】　
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. 　【小題5】　 If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help，not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.

A．Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.
B．Help your child work better to realize his aim.
C．Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.
D．Get enough sleep.
E．Help your child do better in school.
F．Encourage your child to be positive.
G．Encourage him to get outside.
