The reading skills of young male students may improve more when boys are tutored(辅导) by women,a Canadian study shows,contradicting some school policies to hire male teachers to improve boys’ literacy.

Herb Katz,an education professor at the University of Alberta,took 175 boys in the third and fourth grades,identified

as struggling readers,and paired them with a research assistant who worked on their reading skills for 30 minutes a week over 10 weeks.

On average,the boys paired with female tutors felt better about their reading skills after the 10 weeks than those who were guided by a male research assistant,the study found.

“The study,published in the US journal Sex Roles,may cause educational policy-makers in countries such as Australia and Britain to rethink policies that call for more male teachers to be hired to provide role models for boys whose reading skills fall behind their peers(同龄人).It tells us that the way governments respond with policy is perhaps a little too quick and a little too simple,”Katz said.

“Boys and girls enter kindergarten with similar reading skills,but by the end of the third grade,boys have lower reading scores than girls.The reasons behind that difference are not entirely clear.I don’t know that reading skills fade so much as teachers may not recognize what boys are doing,”he said.“We don’t really know a lot about boys,even in those early years.”

The boys involved in the study attended 12 schools in the City of Winnipeg,Manitoba.Most were from downtown

neighborhoods.About a third were native Canadians and 55 percent came from ethnic minority groups.

A.To encourage boys to do more reading.

B

More modest consumer appetites might not only save money but also reduce the amount of crime.At least that’s the conclusion of a leading British criminal behavior expert.

Dr. Keith Hayward,a lecturer at the University of Kent,says antisocial behavior results from a need to experience new sensations.And,stealing a car to ride around in it offers young people the same thrill as shoppers get from buying goods.

That desire is encouraged among young people by advertisers who use “pleasure-seeking experience” to sell their products.

Advertisements teach young people that they must have the next desirable consumer item to feel good,Hayward said.If that need is not met,then they feel that something is missing.Some young people then use “the exciting possibilities offered by criminal activities” to fill the expectation gap.
