2、164答案与解析 1 【正确答案】 Which form of education is more desirable for children co-education, where boys and girls attend school together, or single-sex schools?

3、urpose. The more important goal is to prepare them to take their place in adult society. As this society is made up of males and females, a segregated school consisting only of members of the same sex cannot serve this purpose well. By contrast, a co-educational school is far preferable in achieving
4、 this aim, offering students nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, and to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are in a position to compare themselves with each other in terms of academic abilit
5、y, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. In this way, boys dont grow up imagining that women are mysterious creatures and girls dont grow up scared of men. Years of associating with each other at school dispel illusions of this kind. Those ag

8、to satisfy their need for intimacy. As a result, segregated schools may breed sexual deviation. In co-educational schools, it cannot be denied that the flower of love between boys and girls may blossom too early. But this is not necessarily as harmful as many educators may think.

10、ind that seemingly the road is always bumpy and muddy and sadly, the driver happens to be a man most of the time. Some people may thereby form a misunderstanding that it is the male driver who has made the voyage uncomfortable and full of suffering. It is the same case when it comes to history. I fi
11、rmly believe that whether society is more violent and conflicting does not have a close relationship with the gender of the leader. Throughout the history, it is indisputable that the number of male leaders far surpasses that of female ones. However, this cant serve as the prerequisite of the saying
12、 that it is the existence of male leader who created more violence and conflicts in society. On the one hand, most of the time, when male leaders were in power, society remained peaceful and the time of peace was much longer than that of war. On the other hand, it is unreasonable and unacceptable to

There were in world history quite a few women who were aggressive and impetuous, especially when they came into power. To summarise, male leaders dont prevail over female ones when it comes to governing society and vice versa. No matter who seizes the throne, the orbit of society would never be changed. To exaggerate the function of the gender of the leader does not hold any water.
