The taxi was the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It ca

26、n be kind of loud on the bus with some people talking on their phones, some people chatting with their friends, and others playing music. Its just like the traffics sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near t

However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that theres so much to see and hear in the park!Usually, I like to close my

28、 eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see.

32、 in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books

33、are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially engineered gap for boys rea

34、ding?To improve boys reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading.

35、le believe that boys prefer to read non-fiction.But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be

36、harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, dont assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or

37、that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the li

38、brary in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choos

39、e to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.32. According to the author, what is the main cause of the differences in boys and girls reading ability?A. Social factors.B. Teac
