22、Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for children’s math achievement, according to a new research from a university. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.

Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The app’s effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.

Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults’ attitudes about math for children’s math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement.

The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children’s low math achievement.

“Many people experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”

Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children’s math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.

The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group in math achievement at year’s end.

【1】Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.

A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions

B. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems

C. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems

D. assesses children’s math achievement and parents’ nervousness with math

【2】The previous study found that _____.

A. children’s math achievement is related to parents’ attitude about math

B. help from math-anxious parents improves children’s math achievement

C. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship

D. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math

【3】We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. children using the app can see gains in all academic achievements

B. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students

C. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference

D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children’s achievement

【4】Which is the main idea for the passage?

A. High-anxiety parents influence children’s attitude about math.

B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability.

C. Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship.

D. High-quality math interactions improve math performance.

23、   American track and field athlete Jacqueline Joyner-Kersee once said,“Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.” And 50-year-old Indian Lakyntiew Syiemlieh stands an evidence for this saying. She recently cleared her Class 12 board exams. Lakyntiew,who has four children and two grandchildren, decided to go after her higher secondary education over three decades after dropping out of school. Earlier this year, she was one of the 24,267 students who appeared for the state board's Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate(HSSLC) exam. Lakyntiew took part in the exams for the arts stream and had chosen subjects like Khasi,English, Political Science, Economics, and Education as her areas of specialization.

On July 13,2020,when the results were announced, she was excited. “Though I only got the third division(分段)，my children were still so excited that they started shouting, hugging, and kissing me when the results were declared,"said Lakyntiew.

In fact,the grandmother of two has expressed her interest in pursuing(追求) higher studies in the field of local language. Lakyntiew took up a distance education course offered by a university in 2015. She stopped going to school because mathematics was too difficult for her to understand. She was offered a job to teach in a preschool in 2008, and that was the beginning of her love for re-learning.

Being the oldest student in the class, most of Lakyntiew's classmates called her as "Mei”, which means “mother” in the local language. Besides concentrating on academics,she also participated in after-class activities like field trips, dance competitions, and singing challenges, among others.

Age is not a problem when one is in search of education. Lakyntiew Syiemlieh is an example for everybody,and especially for those who give up studies midway.

【1】When did Lakyntiew probably drop out of school?

A.In 2008. B.In 1998. C.In 1988. D.In 1968.

【2】Which of the following caused Lakyntiew to stop going to school?

A.Her family was too poor to afford her education.

B.She had too much difficulty in learning one subject.

C.She was offered so good a job that she couldn't refuse.

D.She had many children to raise and had no time to study.

【3】Which can best describe Lakyntiew's performance at school?

A.Independent. B.Reasonable. C.Outstanding. D.Active.

【4】What can we learn from Lakyntiew's story?

A.Live and learn. B.Hard work pays off.

C.Many hands make light work. D.Education is the key to success.

24、For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.

In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.

However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to-l9-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.

“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.

【1】In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers _______.

A. have enough career-related courses

B. need more career advice from their schools

C. perform better in exams than German students

D. can get higher earnings in later years

【2】According to Robert Schwartz, ________.

A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US

B. students should get contact with the working world at high school

C. education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams

D. teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.

B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.

C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.

D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Arguments about recent US education reform.

B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.

D. Advice for American high school leavers.

A. discouraging   B. interesting

C. creative   D. unbearable
