【題目】There are various advantages of using a pen name. In case the author writes on various topics or in different genres (體裁), using a pen name would be very useful. For example, let’s say an author is an expert in writing on serious topics, like business or finance, and also likes writing fiction stories, like romance. In such an author’s case, a pen name could save him from losing his readers as well as reputation.
Will you be okay with any pen name? No, you should make sure that it is easy to spell and pronounce. If you come up with a name that is difficult to pronounce, maybe your readers will not want to recommend your book to someone. They may not ask for your book at a library. Why? Because it could be pronounced wrongly and may sound foolish in front of others. This is the reason why your pen name should be easy to pronounce.
Not only should your pen name be easy to spell and pronounce, but it should also be professional. The idea is to get a name that should be memorable, not mock-able.
If you are trying to pen your pen name in a way that is too similar to an existing author’s pen name, you are doing yourself no good.
One small trick that could at least guarantee ‘a(chǎn) look at your book’ in the library is by using the correct initials. If you find that a particular best-selling author in your genre of writing has his name starting with ‘B’, maybe you could think of starting your pen name with ‘A’. People are going to search the library shelves from left to right to locate that famous author, and in the process, may come across your book.
Your pen name has to be distinguished because it is going to last all your life.
【1】When recommending your book with a pen name hard to pronounce, your readers may feel _________.
A. nervous B. cheerful
C. satisfied D. embarrassed
【2】If the author of a best-seller of your kind uses a pen name like Patricia, you’d better choose _________.
A. Sam B. Rebecca C. Verna D. Lauren
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Benefits of using a proper pen name.
B. How to win plenty of readers and reputation.
C. Things to consider while choosing a pen name.
D. How to select a pen name when writing different genres.

【題目】Boy’s schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(陽剛) , the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to agree with a stereotype, a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to agree with the “boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The report, presented at a conference of the International Boys’Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools, goes against_______that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their females peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boy’s learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused”approaches such as themes and characters that interest them. Because boys generally have more acute(sharp)vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on”lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to agree with a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships, “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” The study reported.
【1】In the eyes of the author, a single-sex school would__________.
A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real man”
B. help to develop masculine aggressiveness in boys
C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D. naturally stress in boys the traditional image of a man
【2】The phrase “received wisdom” (paragraph 3) is most likely to mean____________.

【3】What does Tony Little think of the British education system?
A. It fails more boys than girls thoroughly
B. It makes boys more emotional than girls
C. It fails to give boys the attention they need
D. It focuses more on mixed school education
【4】Which is one of the advantages of single-sex schools according to Abigail James?
A. Teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B. Boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed
C. Boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. Teaching can be designed to promote boy’s team spirit
【5】According to Abigail James’s report, which of the following is characteristic of boys?
A. They enjoy being in charge and master
B. They love to be greatly encouraged
C. They are violent and sexist
