Most of all, parents should let their kids know that mistakes are a part of learning. Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and rigid separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who aren39。s not quite that simple. Kids can be given the opportunities to bee passionate about a subject or activity, but they can39。 math skills. 18. (A) Once weekly. (B) Twice weekly. (C) Once a month. (D) Twice a month. 19.

(D) Both the teachers39。t suffer from an emotional or learning disability, or isn39。s important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities. The crux of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions, says Michael Nakkual, a Harvard education professor who runs a Bostonarea mentoring program called Project IF (Inventing the Future), which works to get lowine underachievers in touch with their aspirations. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to disabuse them of the notion that classwork is irrelevant, to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. Like any ambitious toddler, they need to understand that you have to learn to walk before you can run. 1. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?

This is partly because the herders only sell much of their stock during times of drought and famine, when they need the cash to buy food, and the terms of trade in this situation never work in their favour. Another reason is the lack of investment in herding areas. Funding bodies such as the World Bank andUSAID tried to address some of the problems in the 1960s, investing millions of dollars in mercial beef and dairy production.

What is the author39。s overall spending plan for science, it39。s 10year history has been to help revolutionize the way science is done. Answering questions about the origins of life on Earth and the prospects for life elsewhere require strong collaborations. From radio astronomers to biologists and geologists studying the evolution of Earth, groups are working together in ways they never thought of a decade ago, adds Edward Young, a geochemist at the University of California at Los Angeles.

If the results hold up, this would bring to four the number of bodies in the solar systemincluding Earththat display active volcanism. And since life as biologists know it requires liquid water and a source of energy, Enceladus would join Jupiter39。s herders live in areas with unpredictable weather systems that are totally unsuited to mercial ranching. What the pastoralists need is support for their traditional lifestyle. Over the past few years, funders and policymakers have been starting to get the message. One example is intervention by governments to ensure that pastoralists get fair prices for their cattle when they sell them in times of drought, so that they can afford to buy fodder for their remaining livestock and cereals to keep themselves and their families alive (the problem in African famines is not so much a lack of food as a lack of money to buy it). Another example is a drought earlywarning system run by the Kenyan government and the World Bank that has helped avert livestock deaths. This is all promising, but more needs to be done. Some African governments still favour forcing pastoralists to settle. They should heed the latest scientific research demonstrating the productivity of traditional cattleherding. Ultimately, sustainable rural development in pastoralist areas will depend on increasing trade, so one thing going for them is the growing demand for livestock products: there will likely be an additional 2 billion consumers worldwide by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries. To ensure that pastoralists benefit, it will be crucial to
