32、your friends and coworkers, do you? Surveys reveal that these online practices are the ones to avoid. You leave the subject line blank.

35、ts marking your message urgent when its not. You love all capitals. Thats nice, except youre effectively screaming from the screen. If you want to say CONGRATS, thats one thing.

Half of fifth-grade pupils cannot read a story designed for second-graders. “Where we have failed miserably is t

37、ranslating schooling into learning,” says Yamini Aiyar of the Centre for Policy Research in Delhi. More teachers showing up would help. About a quarter are absent when they should be at work. Pay is not the problem: a public school teachers salary is often more than ten times the local average. Inde

38、ed, many Indian applicants buy school boards to get a job, which they treat as a sinecure(闲职) rather than a career. And yet more teachers turning up might not make much difference. Indias 17,000 teacher-training institutes are low grade degree shops. Few trainees are taught how to manage a class. By

39、 law, pupils automatically go up to the next grade each year. So teachers have little motivation to help them grasp the curriculum. A study in 2016 suggests that the knowledge of sixth-grade pupils in a poor area of Delhi is 2 grades below what the maths syllabus(大纲) expects of them. For some, money

40、 is the answer. India spends 2.7% of GDP on schools, less than other developing countries. But much of the budget is not spent, or is spent badly. School funding increased by 80% from 2011to 2015, yet test scores have fallen. Governments at neither central nor state level are responsible for academi

41、c outcomes. Some reformers are trying to improve the public system. A programme in Haryana, has changed declining literacy(读写能力) in the state through regular assessment and more relevant curricula. In Delhi, the city government has doubled spending on schools and employed “mentor teachers” to help o

42、thers teach at the right level. Some people are looking to technology to transform education. Schemes such as EkStep, a non-profit IT foundation, are trying to improve education for all. Ambition on that scale is needed. But in the end even technological fixes will have to be part of a broader chang

43、e among Indian policymakers. 58. What Rishi Rajvanshi says in the first paragraph implies that _. A. pupils are poorly literate despite being schooled B. primary schooling ends in complete failure C. India cant compare with China in education D. all pupils should receive secondary schooling 59.

Econ

46、omists have long argued the best way to improve traffic flow is to charge drivers for their contribution to road congestion. However, the question is: what would the best charges be? In 2015-2016, Transurban Group carried out the Melbourne Road Usage Study (MRUS) to answer these questions. Well-targ

47、eted charges ease congestion The MRUS tested three simple charges: a distance-based charge of 10 cents per kilometre a time-of-day charge of 15 cents per kilometre at peak times and 8 cents at other times a distance-plus-cordon(禁区) charge where drivers were charged 8 cents per kilometre at all times

48、 plus A$8 if they entered the inner city. Our working paper, Can Road Charges Alleviate Congestion?, evaluates the raw data: Charges that vary by time of day were most effective at reducing driving at congested times.
