2、ables from cans.As an expected increase in the cost of raw materials looms for late summer, consumers are beginning to encounter shrinking food packages.With unemployment still high, companies in recent months have tried to hide price increases by selling their products in tiny and tinier packages.
3、So far, the changes are most visible at the grocery store, where shoppers are paying the same amount, but getting less.For Lisa Stauber, stretching her budget to feed her nine children in Houston often requires careful monitoring at the store. Recently, when she cooked her usual three boxes of pasta
4、 for a big family dinner, she was surprised by a smaller yield, and she began to suspect something was up.“Whole wheat pasta had gone from 16 ounces to 13.25 ounces,“ she said. “I bought three boxes and it wasnt enoughthat was a little embarrassing. I bought the same amount I always buy, I just didn
5、t realize it, because who reads the sizes all the time?“Ms. Stauber, 33, said she began inspecting her other purchases, aisle by aisle. Many canned vegetables dropped to 13 or 14 ounces from 16; boxes of baby wipes went to 72 from 80; and sugar was stacked in 4-pound, not 5-pound, bags, she said.Fiv
6、e or so years ago, Ms. Stauber bought 16-ounce cans of com. Then they were 15.5 ounces, then 14.5 ounces, and the size is still dropping. “The first time Ive ever seen an 11-ounce can of corn at the store was about three weeks ago, and I was just floored,“ she said. “Its sneaky, because they figure
7、people wont know.“In every economic downturn in the last few decades, companies have reduced the size of some products, disguising price increases and avoiding comparisons on same-size packages, before and after an increase. Each time, the marketing campaigns are coy; this time, the smaller versions
8、 are “greener“ (packages good for the environment) or more “portable“ (little carry bags for the takeout lifestyle) or “healthier“ (fewer calories).Where Companies cannot change sizesas in clothing or appliancesthey have warned that prices will be going up, as the costs of cotton, energy, grain and
9、other raw materials are rising.“Consumers are generally more sensitive to changes in prices than to changes in quantity,“ John T. Gourville, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School, said. “And companies try to do it in such a way that you dont notice, maybe keeping the height and width the
10、same, but changing the depth so the silhouette (轮廓) of the package on the shelf looks the same. Or sometimes they add more air to the chips bag or a scoop in the bottom of the peanut butter jar so it looks the same size.“Thomas J. Alexander, a finance professor at Northwood University, said that bus
11、inesses had little choice these days when faced with increases in the costs of their raw goods. “Companies only have pricing power when wages are also increasing, and were not seeing that right now because of the high unemployment,“ he said.Most companies reduce products quietly, hoping consumers ar
12、e not reading labels too closely.But the downsizing keeps occurring. A can of Chicken of the Sea albacore tuna is now packed at 5 ounces, instead of the 6-ounce version still on some shelves, and in some cases, the 5-ounce can costs more than the larger one. Bags of Doritos, Tostitos and Fritos now
13、hold 20 percent fewer chips than in 2009, though a spokesman said those extra chips were just a “limited time“ offer.Trying to keep customers from feeling cheated, some companies are introducing new containers that, they say, have terrific advantagesand just happen to contain less product.Kraft is i
14、ntroducing “Fresh Stacks“ packages for its Nabisco Premium saltines and Honey Maid graham crackers. Each has about 15 percent fewer crackers than the standard boxes, but the price has not changed. Kraft says that because the Fresh Stacks include more sleeves of crackers, they are more portable and “
15、the packaging format offers the benefit of added freshness,“ said Basil T. Maglaris, a Kraft spokesman, in an e-mail.And Procter recent Department for Education figures show that nearly double the number of boys failed to reach expected standards at seven. The gender gap is more than 10 points in En
16、glish at 11. Behaviour is a worry too. Boys are three and a half times more likely to be excluded, and the figure is worse still if you are a working-class or black boy.Todays answer to the problem seems to be single-sex schools. Yet debates about their value are both age-old and decidedly unresolve
17、d. Proponents (倡导者) argue that keeping boys together allows them to expel their “boyish“ energy more freelyensuring they are in line and on task. Girls are said to benefit too, with more support to build self-confidence.But there is also evidence in the other direction. A report commissioned by the
18、Headmasters and Headmistresses conference, which represents top private schools, shows that single-sex schools make little difference to outcomes. Whats more, arguing that Eton is a good school because it only admits boys is like saying Wayne Rooney is a good footballer because he wears a nice kiton
19、e does not necessarily lead to the other.In practice, the single-sex question is a distraction from what really matters. It sounds obvious, but boys (and girls) will do better if they are taught better by teachers who understand their individual needs. That means skilled practitioners (从业者) using th
20、e curriculum creatively to engage and excite every single child in front of themregardless of their gender. And, incidentally, male and female teachers have equal capacity to get this right.Of course this is hard, and I can say I fell short many times. But just by introducing a gender control on the
21、 group isnt going to make it any easier. What about the girl who likes active learning or the boy who is shy? I am not sure they would get a fair deal if our teaching is framed by gender behaviours. In any case, we want kids to be able to excel in response to all learning environmentsnot just the on
22、es they are comfortable in. So let girls be boisterous (活跃的), and boys self-reflect. And let them learn together, taught by the best teachers we can find.（分数：44.50）(1).Whats the trend of recent years according to the passage?A.

39、宽)更好3我认为Chinese Parenting vs Western Parenting（分数：106.00）_正确答案：(范文一Chinese Parenting vs Western Parenting(1) Peoples opinions vary when it comes to how parents raise their children. (2) Some people claim that Chinese parenting is superior. (3) Chinese parents are extremely strict and expect nothing
40、but the best from their children. (3) This parenting method motivates kids and results in (5) producing children that are successful. (4) Compared with Western parents, the Chinese seem to (5) bring up children who display academic excellence, musical mastery and professional success.(6) Some people
41、 think otherwise. They argue that Western parenting is better. Western parents allow children the freedom to explore other possibilities besides academic study, respect their rights to a happy and playful childhood, and give more encouragement. This will help (5) foster smart, creative, and physical
42、ly and mentally healthy children rather than the goof only good at academic results.(7) For my part, I prefer Western parenting. Compared with highly strict Chinese parenting, the Western way (8) exerts more positive influence on childrens mental health. Many Chinese parents now (8) focus too much o
43、n childrens IQ development but little on their mental health. That is mainly to blame for rising child psychological problems in recent years including attention deficit disorder, behavior problems and conduct disorders.范文二Chinese Parenting vs Western Parenting(1) An essay “Why Chinese mothers are s
44、uperior“ by Amy Chua has sparked a heated online debate. (2) Many people share her view, claiming that strict Chinese parenting is best for kids. (2) In the Chinese parenting model, there are numerous restrictions in life: no television, nothing but As, no swearing, etc. (2) This model ensures that
45、children concentrate on study and behave themselves, which would better prepare them for harsh future competition.(3) Some people, however, dont agree with Chuas strict Chinese parenting. (4) They think a Western style of parenting is obviously superior. (4) Western parents respect childrens choices
46、 and give them more freedom. (4) They allow children to try to build confidence on their own by allowing them to achieve in subjects (5) about which they are passionate. (4) This style of parenting motivates children to be the best.(6) Personally, I think the Western parenting style sometimes is too
47、 soft on children. (7) For example, Chinese mothers can say to their daughters “lose some weight“, but Western parents tiptoe around the issue, talking in terms of health and never ever mentioning the word “fat“, and their kids still end up in therapy for eating disorders and a negative self-image.
48、(8) Therefore, in firmly stopping childrens bad habits, strict Chinese parenting is obviously better.)解析：解析 分析标题和提纲可知，应该写一篇说明文或者议论文，也可说明和议论相结合。根据提纲，写作时首先引出如何教育孩子的话题，然后给出第一种观点：中式教育更好，并说明原因；其次给出第二种观点：西式教育更好，并说明原因：最后给出“我”的观点，选择其中一种观点，并充分论证。思路一 第一段：简述人们对如何教育孩子看法不同，有人认为中式教育更好，原因：中国父母严格的教育能激励孩子，更能带出成功的孩子，证据：中国父母养育出来的孩子比西方的孩子在学业、音乐和职业方面更胜一筹。第二段：转折，指出有人认为西式教育更好，原因：西方父母给予孩子自由和快乐的童年并鼓励孩子，能养育出聪明、有创造力以及身心健康的孩子。第三段：我的看法：更喜欢西式教育。原因：西式教育更有利于孩子的心理健康，中式教育下的孩子容易产生心理问题。点评(1)引出下文(2)抛出观点：中式教育更优越(3)进一步解释原因(4)对比，突出中式教育的优势(5)“养育出”的多种表达，富于变化(6)引出另一些人的观点。better 与上段的 super
