Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

For decades, it's been a prevailing belief: girls are at a disadvantage in the classroom, especially when it comes to certain subjects. But the classroom gender gap might not be what you expect. These days, it's more likely to be male students that just can't seem to keep up with their female counterparts.

Richard Whitmire, education reporter and author of Why Boys Fail: Saving our Sons from an Educational System That's Leaving Them Behind, says that the problem starts early, but is most notably reflected by two indicators: rising aspirations by female high school seniors while those of male students stay flat, and lagging representation of men in college graduation rates. "Among those earning bachelor's degrees it's almost 58 percent female," he said, "and among community colleges it's 62 percent female."

What's behind the new gender gap? Theories of why boys are struggling in today's classrooms abound. In her controversial book The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism is Harming Our Young Men, Christina Hoff Sommers writes that classrooms remodeled to serve the needs of girls are creating a reverse sexism that hurts boys. Less structured learning environments and less focus on grades and competition are hallmarks of a changing school landscape that, according to Sommers, puts boys at a disadvantage.

Whitmire, in his book, argues that, while different factors may contribute to the problem, there's one major issue that's holding boys back. "If you solve this one big thing," he says, "then you could solve the brunt of the issue, and that is the literacy issue." Reading and writing have always been an integral foundation for classroom learning. But more recently, Whitmire explains, an extra emphasis on literacy in the early years sets many male learners back from the get-go. "School reform pushed literacy demands into earlier and earlier grades," Whitmire explains, and boys are at a developmental disadvantage when it comes to early literacy challenges. When girls tend to pick up reading earlier, boys typically need more time. The problem is that without awareness, support and effective instruction, they may never catch up.

According to Whitmire, parents should keep a close eye on what is going on at school if they want to prevent problems. "If your son is struggling, and the teacher says 'Oh don't worry, boys always get a slow start and they always catch up,' that should set off alarm bells. Don't assume that, all of a sudden, boys are going to catch up."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal commitment to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one of those noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements.

First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But that is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part of a teacher's training. Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training program, including working as a supervised student teacher.

People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is a necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world experience to go with it. One wise solution to the issue is for future post graduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degree.

Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact that learning sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at times be tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practice being patient with themselves.
