   For the last few decades,women have been breaking barriers in professions. But a new study shows that there is a hidden barrier girls are meeting with.

"Girls are facing prejudice(偏见)from boys,from some parents,and even from each other. We have made a lot of progress in gender(性别)equality but we still have a long way to go,"said Richard Weissbourd,who conducted this study. The prejudice could hold girls back from succeeding.

The study shows only 8%of girls prefer female political leaders. Many tend to believe males have always led,so they have a preference for males' leading,which becomes one of their habits. What's more surprising is that even some mothers appear to be prejudiced,supporting school councils more led by men. The girls say that they feel threatened by boys' successes in school.

Rachel Simmons says these findings are amazing,but she's not really surprised by them. "Even today we've given girls every opportunity but our attitudes still have to change,"Simmons said. "We're still giving girls messages to look at each other as threats. Girls are not looking at each other for support,and they're also feeling so insecure about how they look."

Simmons offers ways to parents to help break these patterns of gender prejudice:

Research shows that chores(日常琐事)can be given to kids in really gendered ways. Change it at home. That's a big thing parents can do. Let boys do some care-giving because attitudes start very early and parents can help kids change them very early in the home. Another thing is to change the way we talk to our kids. If you have an outspoken girl,do you call her a bossy-boots,or do you say" I'm so glad you spoke up"?

We all have our own prejudice. I have a 3-year-old daughter and when she doesn't want to wear a dress, I get a little upset about it. Again, every parent has to look at their own prejudice. What toys are we buying for our kids? Are we buying girls the make-up kits and boys the science kits?

【小题1】What can we know about teen girls according to the study?
A.They begin to work hard to break the hidden barrier.
B.They fail in their study more often than teen boys.
C.They face a lot of prejudice from many sources.
D.They support each other in school life.
【小题2】According to the fourth paragraph, Rachel Simmons ______________.
A.takes the findings of the study seriously
B.agrees to give equal opportunity to every girl
C.believes that girls hate to seek support from others
D.insists that we adults are to blame for gender prejudice
【小题3】Which of the following ways cannot help change kids' gender prejudice?
A.Checking adults' own prejudice.
B.Treating them as adults.
C.Talking to them in a different way.
D.Changing the housework they do.
【小题4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.A hidden reason why girls suffer gender prejudice.
B.Gender prejudice from the parents.
C.Advice to those who have prejudice against girls.
D.The surprising findings of a study.

   “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” That’s an old saying in English. It means that other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. “Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it: more and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring(忽视)Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. China has lots of cool things in its culture: calligraphy, Beijing Opera, quick meals on the streets. And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.

It’s good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. It’s good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener.

Although some people become worried about that, I don’t think they should. Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries? Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food? Besides, it’s fun to learn about different cultures. Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun, but they also need to learn more about their own culture. Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!

【小题1】What do some people think of young Chinese?
A.They are foolish in learning our own culture.
B.They are ignoring our own culture.
C.They are interested in our own culture.
D.They are hating our own culture.
【小题2】In some young Chinese’s eyes, which of the following is not the “greener grass”?
A.Japanese cartoon books.B.Korean soap operas.
C.Christmas.D.The Mid-Autumn Festival.
【小题3】In the author’s opinion, what is the best feature of Chinese culture?
A.Friendliness.B.Working hard.
C.Bravery.D.Honesty.
【小题4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Chinese culture and western culture
B.Simple young Chinese
C.That grass is not always greener
D.Interesting western culture

   Several recent cases of violence(暴力)against students at U.S. colleges have made global headlines,arousing questions about the safety of America’s campuses. Yet government data show that the number of violent assaults(袭击)at colleges actually has decreased in recent years. And most schools have worked to increase safety through technology and student behavior.

It’s also important for students to take responsibility for their own safety. Being familiar with local neighborhoods and campus services is key. Personal-safety expert David Nance says the most important thing students can do is be attentive-which means not being distracted by smartphones or other devices.

The website for the group PEACE OUTSIDE CAMPUS,formed in response to the murder of a student from the University of Delaware in her off-campus apartment in 2005,lists additional measures students can take:

1. Don’t walk alone after dark or while drunk. Contact a friend to take you where you need to go.

2. When driving,keep your doors locked,and park in well-lit areas.

3. Don’t wear earphones or play music so loudly that you are unaware of your surroundings.

4. Trust your instinct(本能)and don’t worry about overreacting. You’re better safe than sorry.

5. Avoid entering elevators with strangers. When this is unavoidable,stand by the control panel and,if faced with a threatening way,push the emergency alarm and all the floor buttons. Don’t press the stop button.

6. Don’t hold the door open for a stranger attempting to enter the house,even if it seems rude. Ask them to identify themselves.

7. Post the police’s and fire departments’ numbers by every phone,and put them into your cellphone.

8. Label your emergency contacts as ICE(In Case of Emergency)in your cellphone so officials will know who to contact for important personal or medical information.

【小题1】What can we learn from David Nance's words?
A.Students nowadays prefer to listen to music.
B.Modern electrical devices are pretty popular among students.
C.Students always bury themselves in using electrical devices.
D.Students had better put away their smartphones on campus.
【小题2】What should a student do when facing a threat in the elevator according to the passage?
A.Get close to the door.
B.Stop the elevator instantly.
C.Hit the control panel.
D.Push the alarm button.
【小题3】Which of the following statements about keeping safe on campus is RIGHT?
A.Follow your instinct and avoid overreacting.
B.ICE in your cellphone will benefit you a lot.
C.Loud music will raise your awareness of the surroundings.
D.Hold the door open politely for the strangers.
【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
