Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.
Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.
In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.
The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情绪的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.
Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency. 32. Fast Track was intended for children who . A. were randomly chosen from their schools B. had some problems with academic learning C. often went against their teachers and parents’ wishes D. were considered to have criminal trouble in the future 33. What can be learned about \A. It included all the students. B. It focused on social skills. C. It improved health services. D. It had positive outcomes.
34. Compared with soft skills, hard skills . A. almost have no influence on students B. are more affected by students’ emotion C. are mainly related to academic learning D. offer children greater self-control abilities

35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Soft Social Skills Matter B. Fast Track Helps Children C. How to Prevent Delinquency D. What to DO for Education

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work, but there are great benefits from that. Students with part-time jobs can earn their own money, develop good time-management skills, and gain experience in the workplace.
36 As they come into adulthood, earning an income can increase their confidence. Some students need to work through school to afford tuition. 37 Still, the money will be theirs to spend as they wish, and they may appreciate it more because they worked for it.
Students taking on a job on top of their studies will have less free time than non-working students. 38 They learn to skip fun activities to finish their responsibilities. This prepares them for life after school when they can’t find excuses for work that’s not finished in time,
Often, students take jobs that introduce them to their preferred career after school is over. 39 Even students who work in places not connected to their majors will look more impressive to potential employers. Employers look for employees who understand the work environment and work well as part of a team. 40 That will make it much easier for them to change their roles after leaving school.
A. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans. B. Other students may have to get help from their parents.
C. Students having part-time jobs usually get employed easily after graduation. D. Having a part-time job helps students to get accustomed to the professional world. E. They tend to be better planners as they make sure they complete every task on deadline. F. Students who take part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise. G. This allows them to gain experience in the business and begin meeting people in that field.

Last week, my friends and me went to watch Jay Chou’s performance in Guangzhou. There are crowds of cheerful fans there, many of who came from other cities. Jay began his performance with one of his most famous song. We all cheered and shouted out his name, but some even cried with joy. When Jay began to sing the seventh song it called Sunny Day, it started to rain. Therefore, the concert was not interrupted and we got even more exciting in the rain. At last, Jay finished the concert with a speech, thank his fans for always supporting him. What memorable experience!
