Harvey Weingarten, president and CEO of HEQCO said, "In its efforts to help disadvantaged students by exploring the idea of paying them to attend school, the Toronto District School Board （TDSB） is asking the same question many other districts are asking about how to improve student participation and performance．Our study and others to date indicate that this practice has little effect if any in those situations where it has been tested．"
The authors of the study suggest that ineffective study habits may be a barrier to academic achievement and that the real problem may be more a lack of academic preparation than a lack of effort or motivation．They note that the availability of peer （同伴） advising does not appear to
have helped greatly．They conclude that other potential avenues to improving performance, or other approaches of teaching, are needed at the high school and postsecondary levels．

There use d to be four common life phases （阶段） : childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age．Now, there are at least six: childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age．Of the new ones, the least understood is odyssey, the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood．
They see that people in this age bracket are delaying marriage．They're delaying having children．They're delaying permanent employment．People who were born before 1964 tend to define adulthood by certain achievements ?moving away from home, becoming financially independent, getting married and starting a family．
In 1960, roughly 70 percent of 30-year-olds had achieved these things．By 2000, fewer than 40 percent of 30-year-olds had done the same．
Yet with a little imagination it's possible even for baby boomers （生育高峰期的人） to understand what it's like to be in the middle of the odyssey years．It's possible to see that this
period is a sensible response to modern conditions．
Two of the American best social scientists have been trying to understand this new life period ．Through their work, you．can see uncertainty that now characterizes this stage．Young people grow up in tightly structured childhoods, Robert Wuthnow of Princeton observes, but then graduate into a world of uncertainty．Old success recipes don't apply, new systems have not been established and everything seems to give way to a less permanent version of itself．Dating gives way to Facebook and hooking up．Newspaper reading gives way to blogging．For example, in 1970, 49 percent of adults in their 20s read a daily paper; now it's at 21 percent．
The job market is changeable．Graduating seniors don't find corporations offering them jobs that will guide them all the way to retirement．Instead they find a vast menu of information economy options, few of which they have heard of or prepared for．
68．Which is the correct order of the following life phases?
a．childhoodb．adolescencec．adulthoodd．old age
e．odysseyf．active retirement
A．a-b-c-d-e-fB．a-b-e-c-f-dC．a-b-e-d-f-cD．a-b-c-e-d-f

Four previously plentiful species of bumblebee are close to disappearing in the United States, researchers reported Monday in a study confirming that the agriculturally important bees are being affected worldwide．
They documented a 96 percent fall in the numbers of the four species, and said their geographic range had shrunk by as much as 87 percent．"We provide strong evidence that multiple Bombus species have experienced sharp population declines at the national level," the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, calling the findings "alarming"．
