A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside t
6、heir major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine.

24、ns are being shut down online. Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, , and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers comments sections at the end, she was shocked b
25、y what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of commentsa racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections. Phillips was not alone in making such a move.
26、Last week, NPR announced k too was closing its online comments sections. The decisions dont mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had
27、 deviated from their original intention. And so they had. In early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news
28、 organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, thats not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-wom
29、en language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today. Since we made the announcement, Ive received an outpouring of responses from our readers, she says. Ive heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. Ive heard from people who said they wouldnt send

Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive a
39、ttitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs. We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication. They participated in more interactions tha
40、n girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on. Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more t
41、han their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbi
42、n and K.Daniel OLeary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them. Years of experience ha
43、ve shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During
44、classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving preci
45、se feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys. This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this. Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women. Listeners recall more from male
46、speakers than from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content. Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers. Women of
47、ten their own statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence. Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the workplace.（1）What does the authors mean when they say“Education is not a bystanders sport.”? A.Both boys and girls should do
