Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Leisure sickness is one of those modem conditions. How do you know if you have been struck down with leisure sickness？ Were you struck down by some mystery illness just before setting off on a two-week holiday？ If it is really the case, chances are you have leisure sickness. A Dutch psychologist(荷兰心理学家) identified the condition. He started researching the subject after he became curious about his own pattern of illness. "If I am ill, then it's at the weekend or at Christmas. Then I heard stories from friends who all said the same thing." He surveyed around 2 000 men and women and estimated that about 3% of the population may suffer from weekend or vacation sickness.
In a further in-depth study of 114 Dutch sufferers, he found that the most frequently reported symptoms included headaches, fatigue, muscular(肌肉) pain and, particularly in relation to vacation. Most of them had been suffering from leisure sickness for over 10 years and associated the beginning of the illness with a major life event, such as marriage, birth of a first child or a change of job. Many shared certain characteristics—a high workload, perfectionism(追求完美), eagerness to achieve and an over-developed sense of responsibility, making it difficult for them to switch off outside of work. According to him, there are a number of possible explanations for the condition. "One possibility is a kind of competition between information from the outside world—external information—and information from the body-internal information."
Leisure sickness is regarded as one of those ______.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls' lack of success in science and mathematics？
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard the "male" subjects as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys, nor do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less ladylike and attractive.
However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have undertaken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in nursery school, males are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks: this is essential behavior. for learning how to solve problems later on. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.
Apart from that, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their male students to do better at these subjects than their female students. They even appear to encourage the difference between the sexes, not consciously, but they still do it. Such male-oriented teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. It seems certain, then, that where these subjects are concerned, school widens the difference between boys and girls.
Why do teenage girls avoid mathematics courses？
