In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, the psychologists at the University of Chicagol Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
"If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement," said Levine. In other words, girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can fi
A. prove a strong link between female teachers’ math anxiety and their female students’ math achievements
B. show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than female students
C. provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than females
D. discover a strong link between teachers’ math anxiety and their students’ math achievements

| A new international study shows that
six people die every minute from smoking. That equals 3 million deaths around
the world every year. If the present rate (率)of smoking continues, the number of
deaths each year from smoking could rise to 10 million by the year
2020. The study describes smoking as the biggest cause to deadly diseases among grown-ups in industrial countries. So far most of the smoking deaths have happened on men, especially in developing countries. A researcher at the World Health Organization says 70% of Chinese men smoke more than 15 cigarettes each day. In Latin America about 50% of the men are smokers. There also is a very large number of smokers in the former Soviet Union(苏联)and in the east Europe. And 25% of all smoking deaths worldwide are in those areas of the world. Scientists say smoking will kil A. we must give up smoking B. smoking causes lung caner C. smoking does harm to health D. men like smoking much more than women [填空题]The New Math on Campus
Sexual Imbalance in Colleges After midnight on a rainy night last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., a large group of sorority (女学生联谊会) women at the University of North Carolina squeezed into a basement bar. Bathed in a colorful glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and shouted lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead. As a night out, it had everything--except guys. North Carolina, with a student body that is nearly 60 percent female, is just one of many large universities that at times feel weirdly like women’s colleges. Women have represented about 57 percent of enrollments at American colleges since at least 2000, according to a recent report by the American Council on Education. Researchers there cite several reasons: women tend to have higher grades; men tend to drop out in disproportionate numbers; and female enrollment leads further among older students, low-income students, and black students.
