We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed －ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming （把……按能力分班）pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not －so－bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills and we find that mixed－ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate to share, and the develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

BEIJING, Jan. 11th （Xinhua）， a report by the Chinese Academy of Sciences（CAS） predicted that housing prices in China would keep on rising this year and the increase rate would roughly equal that of 2007.

The sale of residential buildings this year would hit 697.99 million square meters, up 2.24 percent year on year, according to the report on the prospects of the Chinese economy in 2008 released on Friday by the CAS forecasting center.

The real estate market would maintain a “good momentum,” and investment in the property sector would reach 2.54 trillion yuan（about 347.5 billion yuan）, the report said.

The total floor space of “completed” buildings would drop 8.2 percent to 1.9 billion square meters in 2008, leading to a further dwindling of the housing supply, said the report, noting that the imbalance between supply and demand would be aggravated.
From January to November of 2007, housing prices in 70 major Chinese cities jumped 7.3 percent year on year. Housing prices were up at a rate of 7.3 percent in November alone, a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences （CASS） showed.

The November rate was the highest monthly gain since July 2005 when the monthly housing price survey was started.（*To make comments on the prediction please click here）

The Gabon Viper is a snake that grows to two metres in length. It is black all over and as thick as a strong man’s arm. When angry, it barks like a dog and spits poison. It is one of nature’s most dangerous gifts to the world. Most people would prefer nature to keep gifts like that to itself.

Others think differently. They think that Gabon Vipers, along with other poisonous snakes, spiders and reptiles are perfect animal friends for their children. They believe that the neighbors will be envied if they keep a lion in the backyard. And they believe that no home is complete without a monkey or a parrot in a cage. That is why the trade in unusual pets is now worth over US $ 10 billion per year in spite of being illegal in most countries.

The serious effect of the trade is the damage it does to the natural environment. Hunters catch young parrots by cutting down the trees which the birds use to make nests in. Baby monkeys always stay close to their mothers. So the hunters simply shoot the mothers.

These facts are now well known, but the trade continues. It seems that the strong desire to keep pets has deep roots in the human mind. Some psychologists（心理学家）say that it is a way for people to get closer to nature. People keep cats and dogs as a kind of historical echo（仿效）of the days when dogs were used to control sheep and cats were kept in the home to hunt mice and rats. As technology moves society further away from the natural world, the desire to keep in touch with it grows stronger. Dogs and cats become boring. Only snakes, bears, lions and other dangerous creatures satisfy some people’s desire to get personal control over nature.

This is why there are now more tigers kept as pets in the United States than there are living naturally in the world. One result of this is an increase in attacks on humans. According to a report, there is more chance of a child being killed by a Bengal Tiger in Texas than there is in Bengal.

72. Some people keep dangerous animals in their backyards for the reason that _______.

A. they want to protect themselves form being killed.

B. they want to show the fact that they will protect animals.

C. they want to have the feeling of respect from their neighbors.

D. they want to make a lot of money from the unusual animals.

73. It can be concluded from this passage that ________.

A. keeping pets is very popular all over the world.

B. keeping pets is very popular in some poor countries.

C. keeping pets is against law in some rich countries.

D. keeping pets costs a lot of money in some countries.

74. According to some psychologists’ opinion we can find that ______.

A. dogs and cats used to be the most popular pets.

B. without animals human beings would feel lonely.

C. it is not right for human beings to control nature.

D. modern people should prefer dangerous animals to dogs and cats.

75. The writer of this passage seems to show us his worry that _______.

A. dangerous animals will kill more people over the world.

B. some animals will disappear if people destroy their living places.

C. modern technology will destroy the balance of nature.

D. people will spend too much money on keeping pets.
