A new report comparing Australian high school students with those of 65 other countries show the nation is slipping further behind in maths and reading skills.
The 2017 Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA)measures the mathematics, reading and science skills of half a million 15-year-olds from around the world. It found Australian teens placed equal 17th in maths, equal 10th in reading and equal 8th in science. Asian countries like China, Singapore, Korea and Japan are pulling ahead of Australian students in maths and reading. The results show Australian students have slipped in maths performance by about a half a year of schooling compared to 10 years ago. The decline was stronger in girls than boys, with girls dropping to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD) average.
The report also found a wide gab between students in different parts of the country. Tasmania and the Northern Territory lagged well behind other states in all three areas. About 14,500 Australian students from 775 schools were measured in the assessment, which was conducted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)for the OECD．
ACER’s director of educational monitoring and research, Dr. Sue Thomson, says gender, indigenous status and socio-economic status still divide student outcomes. Australian students from a wealthy background show a difference of about two-and-a-half years of schooling compared to a student from the lowest socio-economic group. Questionnaire responses have also found girls have a much more negative view about maths. Indigenous students are, on average, performing significantly worse than non-indigenous students, a difference of about two-and-ahalf years of schooling or more in maths, science and reading.
Ms. Thomson also raised concerns that more than two-fifths of students failed to reach base proficiency levels in maths. “These are the levels which the Ministerial Council set as not really ambitious goals, but achievable goals for a country such as Australia, and a large proportion of students not to be achieving those results are quite a worry,” she said.
Twelve other countries also showed declines in maths literacy over 10 years, with the largest decline occurring in Sweden, then Finland, New Zealand, Iceland and then Australia.
1、According to the passage, the report _________.
A．compared the mathematics, reading and science skills of students
B．found Australian teens placed equal 10th in maths
C．involved high school students in 65 countries
D．showed Asian students performed better than Australian ones in all subjects
2、Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．Girls were performing worse in these skills than boys in Australia
B．Korean students placed equal 8th in science
C．775 schools in Tasmania participated in the assessment
D．Students in Sweden performed worst in maths among all the students
3、What makes Dr. Sue Thomson so worried?
A．Two-fifths of students show no interest in maths in Australia
B．Native students performed worse than those from other countries
C．The goals in maths were set higher in Australia than those in other countries
D．Nearly half of students cannot reach the achievable goals in maths
4、Which section of a website does this passage probably appear in?
A．Business B．Education
C．Arts and culture D．Technology and science

B
Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $ 16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.
But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.
Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping. According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers’ author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off.”
1、This passage is mainly about .
A．different kinds of tipping in different countries
B．the relationship between tipping and custom
C．the origin and present meaning of tipping
D．most American people hate tipping
2、Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “caught on”?
A．become popular.
B．been hated.
C．been stopped.
D．been permitted
3、Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?
A．A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.
B．An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.
C．A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.
D．A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.
4、We can infer from this passage that .
A．tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves
B．tipping is especially popular in New York
C．tipping in America can make service better now
D．tipping has something to do with people’s character
