Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Homeworkhas never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularl

11、y scorned. School districtsacross thecountry, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more

12、 than 10% of a student s academic grade.This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homesmight have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensi

13、ve equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District administrators say that homework will still be a pat

14、of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as muchof it as they want. But with homeworkcounting for no more than 10%of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well on state tests without completing their

15、 homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule.At the sametime, the policy a

16、ddresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students academic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not makethem count for almost nothing. Conversely, if homeworkdoes nothing to ensure that the home

Tt is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice

22、of the rainbow and, though it maycelebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls identity to appearance.Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at thesingular lac

23、k of imagination about girlslives and interests.Girls attraction to pink mayseemunavoidable, somehowencoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domesti

What s more, bothboys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour

25、, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children s marketing strategy, that pink fully ca

Turns out, acdordingto Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in the 1930s.Tr

28、ade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone between infant wear and older kids clothes. Tt was only after“toddler “ became a commonshoppers term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids,

29、 or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences -or invent them where they did not previously exist.By saying it isthe rainbow(Line 3, Para.1),the author means pink.Ashould not be the

34、on patents for isolated DNA for decades-by 2005 some 20% of human genes were parented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured membersthat this was just a “preliminary step

35、 in a longer battle.On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed holb patents to two genss that help forecast a womans risk of breast cancer. The chief executive of Myriad, a company in Utah,sai

36、d the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine, the courts will remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over Critics make three main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a product of nature, so it may

37、not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriads. A growing number seem to agree.Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests. In October the Department of Justice file

38、d a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule“is no less a product ofnature. than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds.Despite the appeals courts decision, big questions remain unanswered. For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole geno

45、blessness is probably beginning. Before it ends,it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. And ultimately, it is likely to reshape our politics,our culture, and the character of our society for years.No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver lining

46、s in this national economic disaster. Many said that unemployment, while extremely painful, had improved them in someways; they had becomeless materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society be

47、tter off. At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending.But for the most part, these benefits seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, the eco

48、nomic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S. ,lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment t

49、ypically increases, as does conflict between races and classes.Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one,. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides,and decrease opportunities to cross them especially for young people. The resear

50、ch of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it i

51、s the masses beneath them that are left behind.In the internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden winthin American society. More difficult, in the moment , is discerning precisely how these lean times are affecting society s character. Inmany respects, the

52、 U.S. was more socially tolerant entering this resession than at any time in its history, and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. Wewill have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly it, and all th

In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris 川ustribus - On Famous Men, highlighting the

This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, the championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and
