Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class. The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: If I have pleted most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course. And: A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class. Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a students work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class. Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in childrens activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.Yet petition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job. And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the familys investment. These days, college can cost more than a house. A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class: What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well?

A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So shes carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrows Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”. The state governor added that this new educational approach doesnt just benefit students and panies, but also improves the state economy. “Weve been able to attract new panies to our state because of what were doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric pany (one of the worlds biggest panies) is ing to Oklahoma.” Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we dont do it, nobody else will.” “And if nobody does that research, well pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) panies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective munication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose. Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”【小题1】Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric pany? AUniversity graduates in the state are well trained.BTheres much support from the local government.CMany students in the state hope to be workers.DThe state economy has been growing rapidly.【小题2】What is Gutmanns attitude toward Fallins program? ACurious.BTolerant.CDisapproving.DSympathetic.【小题3】Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _.

AUniversities or colleges?BWorkers or researchers?CBasic or further research?DEducation or development?7、Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school. How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load. Do children need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop puter inside the new backpack，make sure that parents get a model thats designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the puter from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.Are children going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market. Count the pockets. Backpacks usually e with a lot of pockets，and generally，the more pockets，the better. This allows children to organize their things，like pens and pencils inside small pockets. Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet promise (折中）between form，function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for childrens needs.【小题1】Why do most students like bringing a backpack? ABecause it looks beautiful.BBecause its a duty for them to bring it.CBecause they can put all the books into it.DBecause it helps them do other activities freely.【小题2】What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

APicking a backpack is very easy to do.BIts better for children to have a backpack that has more pockets.CThe backpacks that have a good brand are more popular with children.DParents always feel worried when buying a backpack for their children.8、Take That Tiger MomIn the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good.Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, pared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust. It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their childrens needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules. Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didnt seem to make much of a difference either. To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents power is. This sense es when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they dont always like how their parents are treating them.When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence. “When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesnt have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”【小题1】Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the passage to _.
