Uminur Kuchukova of Russia could have retired years ago. Yet the 61-year-old teacher keeps working at a
school in the Siberian village of Sibilyakovo. She continues to teach for one reason: the scho
ol’s one and only student,
a nine- year-old boy. Kuchukova is to leave next year for health problems, which means the school will close.
Sibilyakovo is like thousands of villages across Russia: Many people moved out of it after the closure of the
local state- operated collective farm. Sibilyakovo is mainly home to Tatars, a Turkic group that is one of many
minorities in Russia. In the 1970s, the village had a population of 550 and a primary school with four classes. Each
class had about 18 children. Today the
village’s population has shrunk to 39.

Kuchukova has taught at the school for 42 years. She has bought a home in the town of Tara, about 50 kilometers
away and plans to retire there with her husband at the end of the school year. By then, she hopes, her only student will
be old enough to travel to a neighboring village for classes. But the nearest school is a 30-minute boat ride across the
Irtysh River followed by a 20-minute ride on a school bus.
Kuchukova does not think her student, Ravil, is ready yet f
or making such a trip every school day. “His parents
don’t want to leave Sibilyakovo yet and it’s scary to send a little boy like him over the Irtysh. There are such big
waves,” she says.

And even when she herself will finally retire and go to live in Tara, Kuchukova will not leave her past behind,
saying, “My parents are buried here; a part of me is here.”

4. Why did so many people leave Sibilyakovo?
A. Because there was no good school.
B. Because it wasn’t comfortable to live there.

C. Because they wanted to make a living.
D. Because they hated working on the local farm.
5. How does Kuchukova feel when it comes to Ravil?
A. Worried.
B. Hopeful.
C. Proud.
D. Guilty.
6. Which of the following best describes Kuchukova as a teacher?
A. Responsible and caring.
B. Careful and positive.
C. Patient and determined.
D. Selfless and confident.
7. What does the last paragraph convey?
A

Kuchukova’s love for Tara.

B. Kuchukova’s plan for future.

C. Kuchukova’s memory of her parents.

D

Kuchukova’s bond with the village.


Over all, Girls perform better than boys in school. It starts as early as kindergarten. By the time students reach
college, women graduate at a higher rate than men. But there’s an exception. Boys match the grades of girls in
elementary school, a new s
tudy has found. For them, the gender achievement gap doesn’t appear until adolescence —

at which point they start doing worse as a group than girls.
More and more studies have shown that boys’ under
-performance is not because of any internal reasons. Instead,
it seems, it’s largely because of something external: their school environments and peer influences. The new study
offers a clue about how much school environments affect boys’ academic achievement. Ms. Hsin found that the
gender gap for boys in high school was smaller in schools that were less sports-focused, and where boys did better
over all. Other studies have also stressed the importance of the school and social environments, especially for boys.
For boys, these influences change in adolescence, Ms. Hsin found, a time when children become more aware of their
gender identity and are more influenced by peers.

One working paper found that the best-performing students had a combination of behaviors typically considered
male and female. It used nationally representative survey data about gender standard for about 12,000 high school
students. The most traditionally girls and the most boys had the lowest grades.
Researchers have other suggestions. Show them role models who got where they are by doing well in school.
Emphasize the importance of hard work and daily practice, and encourage both boys and girls to embrace a full range
of fields, and not to feel limited by gender roles. Place high expectations on children, and give them opportunities to
meet them.

Created in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge, red public
telephone boxes, which can be seen all over the UK, are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.
However, public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings. While coin-operated and
card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction, mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives.
Though they are more portable, flexible and extensively used, mobile phones have their weakness: battery life.
Instead of trashing the phone booths, a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them. To be consistent with the
environment- friendly preference,
p
eople are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes. In this way, they are
making an unusual come back. When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find low-battery
condition, there happens to be a green option for you. The abandoned the red phone boxes are being used as free
charging stations powered by solar energy.
Inside the booths, which are newly painted green, there are various adaptors that can be connected to different
