I just couldnt do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”Marys story is not unusual i

16、n Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools_on truancy (逃学)Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff Universitys school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out bet

17、ter methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so theyd miss whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Thro

18、ugh online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really en

19、joy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesnt affect my education,”

20、he told James.James study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “Its a two-way process schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that ins

21、tead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”1What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James study?ATruants are fallen behind in their studies.BTruants have no interest in school subjects.CTruants have more inter

22、esting things to do.DTruants are not satisfied with the teachers.2The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“ ”.Aexperiencing a problem with Bhaving a strict attitude towardsCfinding it difficult to solve Dhaving little success with3By citing Adams remark, Jame

24、to schools?ASchools should solve the problem of teachers.BSchools should be more active in helping beginner truants.CSchools should have a better control of hidden truants.DSchools should find out who truant and how they it.B14、It can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning,

25、people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible un

26、til there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants

27、rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people just looked at me all the time and smiled. After getting

28、 to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are not needed.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English

29、and German cultures share almost the same values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, a

30、nd sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.1In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .Adevelop closer rel

31、ationship Bshare the same cultureCget to know each other Dmake a successful speech2The writer mentions his journey in Thailand to show that .Atoo many words are of no useBthe English prefer to make long speechesCeven talk and silence can be culturally differentDpeople from Thailand are quiet and shy

36、d and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory.
