These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problemsolving,beginning in the high school years.
Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal
Science on Friday.
Currently,women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics,the physical
sciences,and engineering.In the United States,Ph.D.programs in engineering currently average only about
15 percent women,and similar statistics have led to stereotypes (成见) about girls and women lacking in
mathematical ability.
Now,it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills,
according to this latest report.
And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items,but rarely on "strategic thinking" (战略思维) or "extended thinking" concepts.
If standardized tests do not assess the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math,
the skills may not be taught,putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries
where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content."This is a gap that should be fixed,"
Hyde said.

dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they
had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people"s health.
The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60
miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and near cities ,the
storm also reached Yuma area in southwestern and far western Arizona. It reduced the visibility ( 能见度 ) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of
the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, a wall of there"s
a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.

Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and
talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording
contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music
scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects
around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.
1. ______________
WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and
sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic
minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It"s beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new
album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions
also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don"t think anyone
has ever done this before in the hip hop world.
2. ______________
WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and
compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it"s
really exciting so I decided that I"m going to need a studio in New York. I"m going to need a studio in
Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.
3. ______________
WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know.
Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I"ve been enjoying doing movies. I don"t
think I"m much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing
music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every
day you get called and you"re surrounded by other actors and creative people.
4. ____________
WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn"t
know I could make this happen. I didn"t know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was
huge increase of confidence. And I don"t want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artis
needs confidence.
5. _____________
WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York
and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many
people own a cell phone that has a camera on it…and a blog. In the entertainment news, there"s a recent
trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying "Oh, so and so saw so and so." when
they see a blog. You know, it"s completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title
of the newspaper article.
Bill Gates told the journalists on Thursday that the biggest difference between eating with Chinese
tycoons (企业界大亨) and Western ones was the food.
"I was amazed last night, really, at how similar the questions and discussions and all that were to those
in the dinners we had in the U.S.," said Mr. Buffett.
Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates, two of the best known Westerners here, announced in September, 2010
that they planned to invite 50 wealthy Chinese tycoons to dinner in Beijing to encourage philanthropy (慈善事业) among China"s new rich.
On Thursday, the two men pronounced the dinner a great success, saying that two-thirds of those
invited had shown up, and that more than half of them had offered their own ideas on how Chinese
philanthropy should work.
The guest list wasn"t made public, but the Chinese news media reported that it included Jet Li, the
movie star; Niu Gensheng, the founder of a Chinese dairy business; and Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, who
control the SOHO China real estate (房地产) empire.
As with four earlier dinners held in the United States, Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates said, no one at the
Beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity. "Bill and I won"t be calling
anybody. What happens in China will depend on what the Chinese people feel about a project of this
sort," said Mr. Buffett.
China is widely reported to be second only to the United States in the number of dollar billionaires.
Mr. Gates and Mr. Buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly
in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among European and American dynasties
are new here, and open to change.
The two said the dinner wasn"t a long planned matter, but an offshoot (衍生事物) of a trip that Mr.
Buffett had already scheduled to Guangdong and Hunan Provinces, where BYD Company, a maker of
clean-energy automobiles, has factories. Mr. Buffett"s company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 10%
stake (股金) in the company.
But Mr. Gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasn"t yet over. "We may do an event in India,"
he said.

same independent exam -besides the national one -to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in
2011.
The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University,
Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.
Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one
independent exam, according to the joint announcement.
"This will help lighten tile students" load, otherwise they must take several exams for different
universities,"said the announcement.
Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more
opportunities to choose their favorite universities.
China" s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students
based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.
In 2003, Peking
University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform byusing their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.
Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their
own exams.
Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as
conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students" talents lie.
Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams
as they often apply for a number of universities.
To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010-2020) released in July
this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.
1. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.
A. only pass the interview.
B. only take the national exam.
C. only take the independent exam.

A. It can reduce students"load to take several exams.
B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.
C. There will be less trouble marking students" test papers.
D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.
3. If students pass the independent exam,they will ______.
A. take the national exam.
B. have one or more interview chances.
C. be admitted to one of the universities.
D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.
4. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?
A. Students needn"t take the national exam.
B. Students"education cost can be lowered.
C. Students abilities and talents can be better found.
D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.
the mental health of the young,as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.
More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems,and about 30 million
young people under 17 are suffering from depression,the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.The
World Health Organization estimates that before 2020,the rate of children with mental problems will
increase to 50 percent,and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the
young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong,the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau,said rapid social changes
are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.If these
mental diseases are not addressed on time,occurrence of crimes,drugtaking and other dangerous
behavior are expected to rise.Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors,such as the
inability to handle interpersonal relations well,unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of
studies.A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental
health in the young.Children are said to be too "spoiled" and "selfish" in a onechild family.
It"s reported that schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental
wellb eing.Yin Jingmiao,a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School,told China Daily that the school
invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month."Students can be arranged to
