Teachers are being asked to answer as never before for how well they serve their students. It has become as common in middle schools for students to grade t

28、eachers as for teachers to grade students. In fact student ratings（评价）have become the most widely used and in many cases the only important information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three studies of the same 600 middle and high schools in more than thirty states, it was found that the numb

29、er of schools using student ratings to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 percent to 68 percent to 86 percent. No other method of evaluation got that degree of usage and other studies have found similar results. One reason is that student evaluations are easy to put to wrong use . If they are exp

30、ected to throw meaningful light on teachers performance, the ratings must be used in a way that shows at least some of what weve learnt about them from research and from experienceResearch and experience have shown us for example that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating eff

31、ectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluated on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgment

32、s that require professional background are best left to the teachers fellow workers. On the other hand students should be asked to comment what they have learned in a course and to report in the classroom relationship with the students ability to develop interest in the subject and ways to encourage

33、 students to teach themselves. 56The central idea of the passage is that _Astudent ratings are the only way to learn about teaching effectivenessBother methods are better than student ratings in evaluating teachersCit is quite right to make student ratings popular in the countryDstudent ratings are

34、very popular and should be properly used57In Paragraph 2，the underlined expression “throw meaningful light on teachers performance” means _Ajudging teachers teaching ability and understanding of the courseBmaking teachers performance clear and understood to allChaving a mean opinion of teachers perf

39、inals in an August 26 fire that killed 14 African children and three adults in a Paris apartment building. Three days later, another fire killed seven in a building.

53、only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and wil

The Development of Manual LaborEWomen turn to online shoppingWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US. For years men have been

60、 more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. “It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
