Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading,

There are several reasons that help eplain these gender-based differences Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that boos are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.

So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys' reading?To improve boys\" reading performance, parents and educators may 1oo for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called \"boy-friendly\" boos that boys supposedly prefer\". These are typically assumed to be non-fiction wors, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction

But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more liely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaen belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more

frequently and demonstrate faster language leaning and higher language ability.

Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with boos. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests. stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to eep up with their interests

Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class, Access to boos for boys is essential to promote reading

In addition, we should eep paper boos available because research shows that boys are less liely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.

24. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls reading ability?

A. Social factors. B. Teaching methods. C. Personal preferences. D. Psychological differences

25. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly tal to boys about reading? A. To persuade boys to read more often. B. To learn what boys are most interested in. C. To help boys improve their language ability.

D. To show that adults are good reading role models.

26. When should schools give students additional library aces according to the author? A. Before and after class,

B. At any time of the school day. C. At regular times during class.

D. When they are in the lower grades.

27. What is the main purpose of the tet?

A. To show students ways to improve their reading.

B. To eplain why boys are not as good at reading as girls. C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources,

D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability.

\"Anything you want, anytime you need it.\"

One found its way to the des of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed - a blac bacground with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no eplanation on the bac, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card's and said Anytime Starting Tomorrow.\"

When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, What do you want?\" All you had to do was type the words into that bo, and then specify how quicly you wanted your item delivered within one, ten, or twenty-four hours

Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within wees, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.

Chris still wondered what eactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company,but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding ta was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taing Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.

Chris began maing a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticiing Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred eamples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris wored on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looing through newspaper records. After woring through the night, an ehausted Chris finally fell asleep at his des at 4 a.m..

When he woe a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen Stop maing trouble.\" Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he new he was on the right trac.

Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three ey holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.

First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaed cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1g cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.

Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining. circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量) against which all other ilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the ilogram. The IP, in short.

Doens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems.

But the days of the IP, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement - based on electric current - in order to define the mass of an object.The ing of ilograms is about to be dethroned

One ey reason for doing this wor is to provide international security,\" says Bureau spoesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the ilogram was destroyed,we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the ilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”

Another major motivation for the replacement of the IP is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram, \"says Robinson. \"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that ind of accuracy.\"

32. What do we now about the IP from the first two paragraphs? A. It's cared for with great devotion. B. It's used in religious ceremonies

C. It's beautifully designed and decorated. D. It's the most valuable metal in the world.

33. Which of the following best eplains \"dethroned\" underlined in paragraph 5?

A. rebuilt B. removed C. destroyed D, upgraded

34. What is a reason for replacing the current IP? A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage.

B.To mae taing measurements more economical. C. To provide all countries with the same standard. D. To satisfy the increasing demand for eactness

35. What can be a suitable title for the tet? A. No more ilos

B. A heavy technology C. The future of the ilo D. The history of measures
