Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art,dance and music,according to research released today.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity,the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype,the U.S. 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 report,presented at a conference of the International Boys' Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools,goes against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
The headmaster of Eton,Tony Little,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,despite the fact that girls"turn on the waterworks".
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become demoralised when their female counterparts do better earlier in verbal skills and reading,because the left side of the brain develops faster in girls.They also felt they had to be"cool"rather than studious.
But in single-sex schools teachers are able to 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,education expert Abigail James,of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically"boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because,the researchers say,boys generally have better spatial skills,more acute vision,learn best through touch,are more impulsive and more physically 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 and prefer the modern genre 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 gained from the media by girls that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "in the present sexualised atmosphere prevalent in mnixed schools,boys feel coerced into acting like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,"the report said.
选项 It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys__________.
A:perform relatively better
B:grow up more healthily
C:behave more responsibly
D:receive a better education
答案A
解析文章第三段讲到：在男子学校里，一男生们可以有更多的杯会参与文化和艺术活动，还有助于他们发展情感表现力。他们不用强迫自己遵守“男性代码”，隐藏内心的感情，表现的像个“真正的男人”。
第四段最后讲到：报告驳斤了认为男生跟女生二起能学得更好的传统认识。因此得出人们通常认为“in a mixed school boys perform relatively better"。
第五段讲到：现在的英国教育体系太过关注女生，可能会造成对界李的教育失败。他批评教师们没有意识到，虽然女生很容易哭终，停男生其牢些幸生情感更丰富。
答案相关句是第七段第，句",..tahers are ab卜迄叹禅or lessons to boys' learning style...”······教师会为男生们量身制作适合体们学习方式的课程······。
相关句在第八段第二句：“...boys generally have better spatia1 skill, more acute vision, learn...”所以B项为正确答案。
