A difficult subject like math may affect teachers confidence in teaching the subject. uneasy reading the numbers of a sales receipt. prove a strong link between female teachers math anxiety and their female students math achievements. the research results need to be retested based on a larger sample.女性教师信任她们旳数学能力和女学生旳数学能力有关一种困难旳科目像数学也许影响教师旳教学主题旳信心。3看到诸多旳销售数据就会感到不自在女性教师旳数学焦急和她们旳女学生旳数学成绩有很有力旳联络5试验成果还是初步旳，需要更大旳样本对其进行反复验证1在最新一项有关小学生学数学旳研究中，芝加哥大学旳心理学家Sian Beilock和Susan Levine 发现，女教师旳想法和女学生旳学习之间有着惊人旳联络：假如女教师对自己旳数学能力感到焦急，她旳女学生很也许认为男孩子数学比女孩学得更好。2假如一直由对数学有焦急旳女教师专家数学，就会对她们旳数学成绩产生雪球效应，Levine说。换言之，女孩子们最终从老师那里获得旳是对数学旳焦急。该研究表明，假如女孩子们在一种认为男孩比女孩数学好旳环境中成长，那么她们旳数学也许会不如在更自信旳状态下学得好。3如同学生，教师也会觉得某些学科难学和难教，这就是研究者所言旳焦急：不自在或紧张。4此研究发现，教师对数学旳焦急可以传染给她旳女学生们。该研究旳研究对象包括65个女孩，52个男孩和17位在中西部教一二年级旳教师。学生们在学年旳开始和结束时都进行数学测试，研究者们比较得分。5研究者们测试学生与否认为数学明星一定会是男孩。然后研究者们测试教师，试图找出哪些教师对数学感到焦急，研究者们问教师们当碰到数学问题诸如阅读销售清单时旳感受，假如一位教师一看到销售清单旳数字就感到紧张，那么她很也许对数学存在焦急。6平均来说，教师旳焦急不会影响到男孩子。不过，一般说来，假如教女孩子旳教师有数学焦急症，那么女孩子们在学年结束时测试得分比其他旳女孩要低。此外，在有关与否认为数学明星应当是男孩旳测试中，有20个女孩认为男孩数学比女孩好，这20个女孩旳老师都是女性，且都患有数学焦急症。6来自密苏里大学旳心理学家David Geary说这是一种有趣旳研究，不过这只是初步成果，需要用更大旳调查样本进行反复验证。第八篇 A Biological Clock一种生物时钟Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells (1) humans when to form flowers and when the flowers should open1. It tells (2) insects when to leave the protective cocoon茧 and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.Events outside the plant and animal (3) affect the actions of some biological clocks. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur (4) because the number of hours of daylight. In the short (5) days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight summer.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration (6) flight twice each year. Birds (7) prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip, (8) but they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.Scientists say they are beginning to learn which (9) parts of the brain contain biological clocks. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain (10) seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These (11) cells tell a person when to (12) awaken, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.Dr. Moorhead is studying (13) how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work2. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we must often change to different work hours. (14) It can take3 many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrial officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said (15) such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factorys production.第九篇Wonder Webs惊奇网络 Spider webs are more than homes, and they are ingenious traps. And the worlds best web spinner may be the Golden Orb Weaver spider. The female Orb Weaver spins a web of fibers thin enough to be invisible to insect prey, yet (1)tough enough to snare a flying bird without breaking. The secret of the webs strength? A type of super-resilient (2)silk called dragline. When the female spider is ready to (3)weave the webs spokes and frame, she uses her legs to draw the airy thread out through a hollow nozzle in her belly. Dragline is not sticky, so the spider can race back and forth along (4)it to spin the webs trademark spiral.恒星英语论坛 Unlike some spiders that weave a new web every day, a Golden Orb Weaver (5)reuses her handiwork until it falls apart, sometimes not for two years. The silky thread is five times stronger than steel by weight and absorbs the force of an impact three times better than Kevlar, a high-strength human-made (6)material used in bullet-proof vests. And thanks to its high tensile strength, or the ability to resist breaking under the pulling force called tension, a single strand can stretch up to 40 percent longer than its original (7)length and snap back as well as new. No human-made fiber even comes (8)close . It is no (9)wonder manufacturers are clamoring for spider silk. In the consumer pipeline: High-performance fabrics for athletes and stockings that never run. Think parachute cords and suspension bridge cables. A steady (10)supply of spider silk would be worth billions of dollars but how to produce it? Harvesting silk on spider farms does not (11)work because the territorial arthropods have a tendency to devour their neighbors. Now, scientists at the biotechnology company Nexia are spinning artificial silk modeled after Golden Orb dragline. The (12)first step: extract silk-making genes from the spiders. Next, implant the genes into goat egg cells. The nanny goats that grow from the eggs secrete dragline silk proteins in their (13)milk . “The young goats pass on the silk-making gene without (14)any help from us,” says Nexia president Jeffrey Turner. Nexia is still perfecting the spinning process, but they hope artificial spider silk will soon be snagging customers (15)as fast as the real thing snags bugs. 第十篇 Chicken Soup for the Soul：Comfort Food Fights Loneliness心灵鸡汤：爽心食品排解孤单感 Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, may be bad for your arteries,(1)but according to a study in Psychological Science, theyre good for your heart and(2) emotionsThe study focuses on “comfort food” and how it makes people feel For me(3)personally,food has always played a big role in my family,” says Jordan Troisi, a graduate student at the University of Buffalo, and lead author on the studyThe study came out of the research program of his coauthor Shira GabrielIt has(4)looked at non-human things that may affect human emotionsSome people reduce loneliness by bonding with their(5)favoriteTV show, building virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved onesTroisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect (6)by making people think of their nearest and dearest. In one experiment, in order to make(7)class feel lonely, the researchers had them write for six minutes about a fight with someone close to themOthers were given an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each(8)group wrote about the experience of eating a comfort food and others wrote about eating a new food.(9)finally,the researchers had participants(10)complete questions about their levels of lonelinessWriting about a fight with a close person made people feel lonelyBut people who were generally (11)secure in their relationships would feel less lonely by writing about a comfort foodWe have found that comfort foods are consistently associated with those close to ussays TroisiThinking about or consuming these foods later then serves as a reminder of those close othersIn (12)their essays on comfort food, many people wrote about the (13)experience of eating food with family and friends. In another experiment,(14)eating chicken soup in the lab made people think more about relationships, but only if they considered chicken soup to be a comfort foodThis was a question they had been asked long before the experiment, along with many other questions, so they wouldnt remember it. Throughout everyones daily lives they experience stress, often associated with our(15)connnections with others, Troisi saysComfort food Can be an easy remedy for loneliness 第十一篇 Climate Change Poses Major Risks for Unprepared Cities气候变化给不备都市带来重大风险 A new examination of urban policies has been(1)carried out recently by Patricia Romero LankaoShe is a sociologist specializing in climate change and(2)urbandevelopmentShe warns thatmany of the worlds fast-growing urban areas，especially in developing countrieswill likely sufferfrom the impacts of changing climateHer work also concludes that most cities are failing to (3)reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse (4)gasesThese gases are knownto affect the atmosphere”Climate change is a deeply local issue and poses profound threats to the growing cities of the world,” says Romero Lankao. ”But too few cities are developing effective strategies to (5)protect their residents. Cities are(6)majorsources of greenhouse gasesAnd urban populations are likely to be among those most severely affected by future climate change. Lankaos findingshighlight ways in which city-residents are particularly vulnerable, and suggest policy interventions that could offer immediate and longer-term(7)benefits The locations and dense construction patterns of cities often place their populations at greater risk for natural disasters. Potential(8)threatsassociated with climate include storm surges andprolonged hot weather. Storm surges can flood coastal areas and prolonged hot weather can heat(9)heavilypaved cities more than surrounding areasThe impacts of such natural events can be more serious in an urban environmentFor example，a prolonged heat wave can increase existinglevels of air pollution，causingwidespread health problemsPoorer neighborhoods thatmay(10)lackbasic facilities such as drinking water or a dependable network of roads，are especially vulnerable to natural disastersMany residents in poorer countries live in substandard housing(11)withoutaccess to reliable drinking water，roads and basic services. Local governments,(12)therefore,should take measures to protect their residents.”Unfortunately，they tend to move towards rhetoric(13)rather thanmeaningful responses,Romero Lankao writes, ” They dont impose construction standards that could reduce heating and air conditioning needs. They dont emphasize mass transit and reduce(14)autombileuse. In fact, many localgovernmentsare t
