Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype, a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticised teachers for failing to recognise that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported. [br] According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is______.
选项
A、teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B、boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C、boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D、teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Abigail James和single-sex schools将本题出处定位到第七段。该段提到,Abigail James认为在单性学校老师可以根据男孩的学习方式设计课程,并举例说明。[A]中的teaching对应该 段的lessons,tailor为原词复现,characteristics of boys对应boys’ learning styles,故答案为[A]。James只是提到单性学校里可以利用男生喜欢 的人物和主题设计教学,没有谈到如何使男生不分心,故排除[B]。说“男 生在单性学校里可以选择学习任何感兴趣的东西”属于过度推断,故排 除[C]。James虽然提到“可以让学生们组队完成学习任务”,但他并未 由此说提高团队精神是单性学校对男生教育的优势所在,故排除[D]。
