Now I thank my parents for teaching me these vital principles, which I will have with me the rest of my life.I was always the shy girl and afraid to be myself. This didnt bother me until I reached junior high school, when some girls judged me by what I wore, who I talked to and how skinny I was. I felt like Id never done anything wrong to deserve such criticism. It was not until last year that I realized that I had to stay different from them and live my life according to my principles. I decided to be my own person. I never thought that being nice could cause me to be disliked. Anyway, I began hanging out with girls who had a lot in mon with me like preferring outdoor sports. They were accepting and non-judgmental. I am now content with knowing that I am my own person and dont let others control my life.28.

Loving outdoor sportsDTwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. Its hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children. For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away to hear the teacher. Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal(显示) that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much. Dr. Sax, an advocate (提倡者)of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has produced striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy. 32What is the main idea of the passage? A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls. B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds. C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences. 33What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean? A. evaluate B. give up C. keep D. challenge34Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys? A. Girls are more emotional than boys. B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys. C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls. D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.35Which of the following does the author believe? A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways. B. Girls need more training in munication. C. Parents should pay more attention to boys. D. Sex differences should be ignored in education.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you truly happy?
