Parents in lowine countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prediction bees selffulfilling, 7C 教育資源 網(wǎng) （ 7C 教育資源網(wǎng)（ ） 域名釋義： 7c 學(xué)科網(wǎng)，聯(lián)系 ： 372986183， 78763217 trapping women in a vicious circle (惡性循環(huán) ) of lack of attention. An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle. Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits. But it has huge economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has an important influence on health practices, including family planning. 28. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.

Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little farfetched (牽強(qiáng)的 ), the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree. Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently pleted a weeklong experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period. All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom. American schools are not the only ones reporting success with standup desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2021, have seen similar results. In May 2021, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a sevenweek trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifthgrade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging. The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a winwin for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience. 32. According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _____. A. they have to exchan
