Overall, gender（性别）differences in math tend to be small. Statements like“Boys do better than girls
in math”should not be read as one that all boys perform better than all girls in math.In some recent studies almost no differences have been found. For example, in the national Assessment of Educational Progress study, there were no great difference in the average scores of eighth and twelfth grade boys and girls.

As a math teacher, I hope to do everything in my power to encourage girls to have more confidence in math. Of course I want every girl and boy in my class to see that they can succeed in math .I do not allow boys monopolize（垄断）the answering of questions in my classroom. I call on girls and boys equally and I don’t let any student get away by saying” I don’t know” or by shrugging their shoulders. I will guide students to a solution.

In one project I assign to my 8th grade algebra（几何）students, they have to research a mathematician and report to the class. I encourage as many students as possible, boys and girls, to research some of the famous female mathematicians. When the girls
see how much women had to do to study mathematics years ago, it helps them to see how fortunate their opportunities are today. In this way I provide girls with positive math experiences.

Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in public or private school. As a matter of fact, most childhood education occurred within the family or community.

Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home. Parents see
many reasons for homeschool, including better test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education, and objection to what is taught locally in public school.

Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations, living abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home, where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.

In some places, an approved curriculum (课程) is required if children are to be home-schooled. In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.

The widespread number of food scandals ( 丑闻) in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?

Most of the food we eat today is processed food( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are

added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producer
