Section A 26 Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to【 C1】 _st

Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry(CBI), said that, given the EU was the UKs largest export market, it was no

The 2014 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational publisher that

European languages French, German and Spanish still topped the list in【 C6】 _of desirability, but these were closely followed by Mandarin

Ms Hall said it was unclear whether recent government【 C8】 _to encourage language learning in schools would have any impact. “It has been a worry to see foreign language study in our schools under p

23、y for the best teachers for her two children, making her case this spring in letters to the principal. Then all she could do was waiting for news of their classroom assignments and it s been torturing. The Aurora mom knows her efforts carry no guarantees. One year her son didnt get the teacher Hall

24、had hoped for, and he struggled for months with one whose relaxed style came across to him as uncaring. “Granted, I know it s just kindergarten,“ said Hall, 39. “But. a teacher can make or break you.“ B)In the next few weeks, many families will rip open notification letters or go to school to see cl

25、ass lists posted on the front door. For parents accustomed to directing nearly every aspect of their child s early learning it can be difficult to have little voice in teacher selection a decision they view as critical. Some spend hours crafting the perfect letter or meet with the principal to make

26、an argument. For their childs early learning, parents regard that teacher is critical. C)Principals, meanwhile, struggle to create balanced classrooms while juggling(同时应付 )individual requests. They say they want input but find it increasingly necessary to discourage parents from asking for a specifi

27、c teacher. Administrators don t want the selection process to be a popularity contest in part because what makes a teacher popular may have nothing to do with a particular child s educational needs. D)“Im bright enough to realize parents talk at soccer fields and baseball fields, but you have to rea

28、lize your experience with Teacher A may be very different than someone else s Teacher A,“ said Scott Meek, the new principal at Northbrook Junior High School who is making classroom assignments this summer for 600 students with the help of an office display board. He asks parents to focus their inpu

29、t on the student and his or her learning style and trust the school to make the right match. E)Some students also recognize that certain teachers bring out the best in them. “I need one of those strict kinds of teachers,“ said Halls daughter Tori, 12, who is entering 7th grade. “When I get a not-so-

30、strict teacher, I think they dont really care about me. I really dont want a bad teacher. Ill get lower grades.“ F)When Chaya Fish, 30, of West Rogers Park taught at a private school in New York, she said, it was obvious who the “in“ teachers were. She said she automatically joined them after the pr

31、incipal s son landed in her classroom. “It was ridiculous,“ said Fish. “The other teacher was probably better than me. It was how you dressed, how you talked“ that often determined parental favor. G)Teachers said the most vocal parents often get their way so that all parties involved can avoid a dif

32、ficult school year. But educators warn that parents who get what they wish for may be sorry afterward. “A lot of times when people orchestrate(精心安排 )who they think their child is best suited for, they find they made a mistake,“ said Mark Friedman, superintendent(督学 )for Libertyville Elementary Schoo

33、l District 70. “I have many parents say later, I don t know why I did this. It isnt working out this year.“ Friedman said he assures parents their comments will be considered but never guarantees a specific teacher. In fact, he tells them that if they do request a teacher and later regret that choic

34、e, “you have no one to blame but yourself.“ H)Some parents said theyve learned their lesson about trying to guess which teacher would be best. Jamie Thompson said she was initially concerned when her daughter was assigned to a strict lst-grade teacher. She was aware other parents had lobbied for a d

35、ifferent person, who had a more casual style. “At the end, it turned out that the other class was asking, Why isnt my child learning that?“ said Thompson, 36, of Arlington Heights. “That s why I dont want to interfere too much.“ I)Yet parents have different reasons for requesting classes, and some h

36、ave nothing to do with the teacher, said Michelle Van Every, 36, of Deerfield. She and other mothers once requested that their children not be placed in a classroom with a specific boy not because of him, but to avoid his mother, who had created problems in the past, she said. “We didn t want to cro

37、ss paths with her,“ said Van Every, who added that the school complied with their request. “We didnt want to have to volunteer with her at a class party.“ J)Each district follows its own procedure for teacher selection. Some begin as early as April or May, officials said. Many ask parents to complet

38、e a form about their childs strengths and weaknesses. Typically, teachers have some say in the process by deciding early on which students should be separated or kept together, on the basis of academics, personalities and learning styles. The principal draws up the final class lists, often after mee

39、ting with parents or reviewing special requests, officials said. K)Many school districts wait until the last minute to announce class assignments, usually about two weeks before the start-up of school. Thats because they have come to expect a flood of phone calls within hours from parents who beg or

40、 demand to switch teachers. L)Other schools handle it differently. At Sawyer Elementary School on Chicagos Southwest Side, the fall class assignments are handed out with the last report card the previous spring, said teacher Maureen “Moe“ Forte. Forte said she is aware of colleagues and members of t

41、he Local School Council who have asked that their children be moved from one class into another. “Its not fair,“ Forte said. “I was very upset that one of the LSC parents moved her daughter to my classroom.The parent just felt my personality fit better with her child. And it s not a personality cont

42、est.“ M)Denita Ricci of Lake Villa said she knows parents who request certain classes but tries to stay out of the process. Her son, Mason Wubs, 12, hopes to be placed in the same class as his best friend, easing the transition to 7th grade at a new school. “I trust the schools judgment,“ she said,

43、though she secretly hopes Mason will share a class with his friend. “I think they need to learn to deal with people who are different from them, just like an employer.“ 37 Forte said, teaching at school is not a personality contest. 38 Teachers will decide early in the process of students separation

44、 or keeping together. 39 Denita Ricci tries to stay out of the process when her son hoped to stay in the same class with his best friend. 40 Chaya Fish said, sometimes the way to decide the popular teacher was ridiculous. 41 Michelle Van Every said, some parents reasons for requesting classes have n

45、othing to do with the teachers. 42 Many school districts dont announce class assignments until the last minute. 43 Scott Meek said, different people have different ideas about who is the best teacher. 44 Jamie Thompson was initially concerned with her daughter, but she didnt want to interfere too mu

46、ch. 45 Administrators say, what makes a teacher popular may have nothing to do with a particular childs educational needs. 46 Mark Friedman said, many times people will make mistakes in choosing teacher and class for their children. Section C 46 Once it was possible to define male and female roles e

47、asily by the division of labour. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families, while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people, and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.

48、But by the middle of this century, men s and women s roles were becoming less firmly fixed. In the 1950s, economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-

49、class goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare, men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact, some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. In addition, many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam
