21、How to deal with bullies

Bullying is really common. In a study of young people in the UK aged 12–20, half of them said they had been bullied. About 1.5 million young people in the UK were bullied last year, and many of these were bullied every day. 【1】

What is bullying?

Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. 【2】 Another type of bullying is social―choosing not to include someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends with them. Bullying can happen at school, on public transport, when you’re walking home, online ... in fact, it can happen anywhere.

The roles kids play

Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Sometimes other people help the bully or join in. 【3】 They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it’s important for everyone to work together against bullying. To stop bullying we need everyone to be brave and take a stand.

How to help

【4】This group can do many things. Let the head teacher know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice. Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or take over the school’s social media for a week to send out anti-bullying messages. Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society―in other words, everyone. 【5】 Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening―tell an adult as soon as possible and help everyone to realize that bullying is not OK.

A．Most bullied people are aged between 12 and 20.

B．Why don’t you create a student anti-bullying group?

C．Physical bullying is more likely to happen to boys.

D．Next time you see someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand!

E．Bullying can also be with words―saying or writing things that are not nice.

F．People who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety.

G．They don’t bully anyone directly but support the bullying by being an audience.

22、In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.

That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”

One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.

A. too much importance is placed on sports in America

B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

C. American high schools complain about sports time

D. PISA plays a very important role in America

【2】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.

A. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

D. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

【3】The purpose of this article is to _______.

A. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

C. compare Polish schools with those in America

D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions

23、Don’t Blame Robots for Low Wages

The other day I found myself at a conference discussing declining wages and increasing inequality. One thing that struck me was how many of the participants just assumed that robots are a big part of the problem. But automation just isn’t a big part of the story what happened to American workers over the past 40 years. We do have a big problem, but it has very little to do with technology, and a lot to do with politics and power.

Economically speaking, a robot is anything that uses technology to do work formerly done by human beings. And robots in that sense have been transforming our economy for centuries. David Ricardo, a founding father of economics, wrote about the destructive effects of machinery in 1821. These days, when people talk about the robot destruction, they don’t usually think of things like strip mining(露天采矿) and mountaintop removal(削山开采). Yet these technologies completely transformed coal mining: Coal production almost doubled between 1950 and 2000, yet the number of coal miners fell from 470,000 to fewer than 80,000.

So the destruction brought by technological change is an old story. What’s new is the failure of workers to share in the fruits of that technological change. I’m not saying that coping with change was ever easy. But while there have always been some victims of technological progress, until the 1970s rising productivity translated into rising wages for a great majority of workers. Then the connection was broken. And it wasn’t the robots that did it.

What did? There is a growing agreement among economists that a key factor in wage decreasing has been worker’s declining bargaining power—a decline whose roots are ultimately political. Most obviously, the federal minimum wage has fallen by a third over the past half century, even as worker productivity has risen 150 percent, which rooted in politics, pure and simple.

The decline of unions, which covered a quarter of private-sector workers in 1973 but only 6 percent now, may not be as obviously political. But other countries haven’t seen the same kind of decline. What made America exceptional was a political environment deeply unfriendly to labor organizing and friendly toward union-destroying employers. And the decline of unions has made a huge difference. Consider trucking, which used to be a good job but now pays a third less than it did in the 1970s, with terrible working conditions. What made the difference? Deunionization was a big part of the story.

American workers can and should be getting a much better deal than they are. And to the extent that they aren’t, the fault lies not in our robots, but in our political leader.

【1】The people present at the conference about lower wages and increasing inequality _________.

A.believed that robots have contributed to wage decline

B.agreed that robots should be used to help increase wages

C.predicted that lower wages and increasing inequality would relate to robots

D.assumed that lower wages and increasing inequality rooted in politics and power

【2】The author mentions the case of the coal mining to show _________.

A.the robot destruction started from coal mining

B.the influence of the technology on jobs is not a new phenomenon

C.the number of jobs increases as a result of technological advancement

D.strip mining and mountaintop removal completely changed the coal mining industry

【3】According to the passage, we know that _________.

A.the destructive effects of machinery started in 1821

B.25% of private-sector workers were covered by unions in 1973

C.rising productivity didn’t bring about rising wages until the 1970s

D.the minimum wage has decreased with the dropping of worker productivity

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Technological changes have resulted in lower wages.

B.Political leaders have intended to shift people’s attention from robots.

C.The decline in wages has resulted from bad policies rather than the application of robots.

D.Technological changes have contributed to rising wages instead of causing unemployment.

24、Moran works at the California Academy of Sciences, which is capped by 2.5 acres of living roof where nearly 1.7 million plants, insects and birds flourish. The building has been painstakingly designed to be among one of the most environmentally-friendly in the world. Solar panels that surround the living roof provide 5% of the building’s energy, while water flowing through pipes in the bathrooms also generates power. Automatic skylights open and close to help regulate the temperature inside the building while natural sunlight is used to light the building as much as possible. During his 15 years at the academy (研究院), Moran has helped design, build and now maintain the building’s green systems.

Constructing new environmentally-friendly buildings like the one Moran works in is expected to generate more than 6.5 million jobs by 2030, according to predictions by the International Labor Organization. Next to energy, it will be the second fastest growing sector for green jobs in the coming decades. This jobs growth comes from a growing need for buildings that can deal with multiple problems: meeting tough climate-change targets; rising energy costs, water shortages and an increased risk of extreme weather conditions. This is driving a movement known as green building.

In 2000, just 41 new construction projects were officially rated as green buildings in the US. Last year, that figure had grown to more than 65,000. Elsewhere in the world there have been similar increases and it is a trend that is expected to continue. In China the government has set an ambitious goal as part of its five-year plan that require 50% of all new urban buildings to be green certified.

Moran sees green building as requiring new skills that have not featured much in the building sector in the past. “It takes a different skill set to look after a living roof compared to normal landscaping,” he says. “You need to understand the environment, how the direction of the sun and wind will affect it. But we are also seeing technology being integrated into everything.”

【1】How was the building of the academy planned?

A．Rigidly.

B．Effortlessly.

C．Thoroughly.

D．Strategically.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Constructing new buildings.

B．Generating more jobs.

C．The growing need for houses.

D．The International Labor Organization.

【3】Why do many countries begin to construct green buildings?

A．To develop a large market.

B．To satisfy humans’ ambitions.

C．To solve different challenges.

D．To control the new movement.

【4】What does Moran possibly think of his present job?

A．Challenging.

B．Risky.

C．Traditional.

D．Urgent.
