Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政權(quán)).
Mandela who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid (種族隔離) in 1994, retired 1999.
But he remains as popular as ever.
“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,” said Ali Bacher, South
Africa’s former cricket (板球) chief.
His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait(肖像) has appeared at many places, including
on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan area was named in his honour and
some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness --- the Statue of Freedom. It would
stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.
His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few
politicians in this times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science
department of the University of the Witwatersrand.
“Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political
career. He’s a very, very clever man.” However, he is far from perfect.
Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, brief
mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings.
Then they returned to their flowing praises.
“Through the ages, the human race has had its icons (偶像) --- men and women who rose above ordinary people
to inspire their generations,” The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson
Mandela.”

At a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders(性別).
David Chadwell, South Carolina’s expert of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently.We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.”
Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains.The organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction.“Boys understand the world as objects moving through space,” he says.
The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black.It’s no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class.
The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange.To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn’t need to move as much as in boy’s class.Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.
Boys and girls also hear differently.“When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling,” Chadwell says.“They think you’re mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds.He advises girls’ teachers to watch the tone of their voices.Boys’ teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.
A boy’s nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit.Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused.Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.Girls also respond to stress differently.When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts(腸道), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds.“Single gender programs are about making the best use of the learning.”
1.What is David Chadwell’s attitude toward separating elementary-age boys and girls while learning?
A.Supportive B.Worried
C.Concerned D.Uninterested
2.To engage boy in a class, the teacher ______.
A.must have a moving object in this hand
B.needs to wear clothes in warm color
C.has to speak politely
D.had better move constantly while teaching
3.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
( ?= Paragraph 1 ?= Paragraph 2 ?= Paragraph 3 …... ?= Paragraph 8 )
4.Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?
A.A boy sitting in a warm room
B.A standing boy who is faced with stress
