Uminur Kuchukova of Russia could have retired years ago. Yet the 61-year-old teacher keeps working at a school in the Siberian village of Sibilyakovo. She continues to teach for one reason: the school’s one and only student, a nine-year-old boy. Kuchukova is to leave next year for health problems, which means the school will close. Sibilyakovo is like thousands of villages across Russia: Many people moved out of it after the closure of the local state-operated collective farm. Sibilyakovo is mainly home to Tatars, a Turkic group that is one of many minorities in Russia. In the 1970s, the village had a population of 550 and a primary school with four classes. Each class had about 18 children. Today the village’s population has shrunk to 39. Kuchukova has taught at the school for 42 years. She has bought a home in the town of Tara, about 50 kilometers away and plans to retire there with her husband at the end of the school year. By then, she hopes, her only student will be old enough to travel to a neighboring village for classes. But the nearest school is a 30-minute boat ride across the Irtysh River followed by a 20-minute ride on a school bus. Kuchukova does not think her student, Ravil, is ready yet for making such a trip every school day. “His parents don’t want to leave Sibilyakovo yet and it’s scary to send a little boy like him over the Irtysh. There are such big waves,” she says. And even when she herself will finally retire and go to live in Tara, Kuchukova will not leave her past behind, saying, “My parents are buried here; a part of me is here.” 【1】Why did so many people leave Sibilyakovo? A.Because there was no good school. B.Because it wasn’t comfortable to live there. C.Because they wanted to make a living. D.Because they hated working on the local farm. 【2】How does Kuchukova feel when it comes to Ravil? A.Worried. B.Hopeful. C.Proud. D.Guilty. 【3】Which of the following best describes Kuchukova as a teacher? A.Responsible and caring. B.Careful and positive. C.Patient and determined. D.Selfless and confident. 【4】What does the last paragraph convey? A.Kuchukova’s love for Tara. B.Kuchukova’s plan for future. C.Kuchukova’s memory of her parents. D.Kuchukova’s bond with the village. |

Over all, Girls perform better than boys in school. It starts as early as kindergarten. By the time students reach college, women graduate at a higher rate than men. But there’s an exception. Boys match the grades of girls in elementary school, a new study has found. For them, the gender achievement gap doesn’t appear until adolescence — at which point they start doing worse as a group than girls. More and more studies have shown that boys’ under-performance is not because of any internal reasons. Instead, it seems, it’s largely because of something external: their school environments and peer influences. The new study offers a clue about how much school environments affect boys’ academic achievement. Ms. Hsin found that the gender gap for boys in high school was smaller in schools that were less sports-focused, and where boys did better over all. Other studies have also stressed the importance of the school and social environments, especially for boys. For boys, these influences change in adolescence, Ms. Hsin found, a time when children become more aware of their gender identity and are more influenced by peers. One working paper found that the best-performing students had a combination of behaviors typically considered male and female. It used nationally representative survey data about gender standard for about 12,000 high school students. The most traditionally girls and the most boys had the lowest grades. Researchers have other suggestions. Show them role models who got where they are by doing well in school. Emphasize the importance of hard work and daily practice, and encourage both boys and girls to embrace a full range of fields, and not to feel limited by gender roles. Place high expectations on children, and give them opportunities to meet them. 【1】When do the boys perform as well as the girl? A.In college. B.In kindergarten. C.In elementary school. D.In senior high school. 【2】What makes the boys perform worse than the girl? A.Their behaviors. B.Their characteristics. C.Their family influences. D.Their school environments. 【3】What did Ms. Hsin find in his study? A.The boys did better over girls. B.The children are more influenced by peers. C.Social environments influenced boys more. D.The gender gap for girls in high school was smaller in schools. 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Children will benefit from role models. B.Children can perform well by working hard. C.Children should be limited by gender roles. D.Children traditionally have the lowest grades in school. |
