Asian parents are spending billions of dollars on private tutors (家庭教师) for their children T and the practice is growing despite doubts about its effectiveness, according to an Asian Development Bank study published Wednesday, AFP reported.
"Shadow education" is an expanding business not only in wealthy countries, but also in some of the region's poorer nations as parents try to give their children the best start in life, the study said. Nearly nine out of 10 South Korean elementary pupils receive private tutoring, while the figure for primary school children in India's West Bengal state stands at six out of 10.
The study estimated that the costs of private tutoring in South Korea were equivalent (相 等的) to 80 percent of government spending on public education. Japan spent $12 billion on extra teaching in 2011, while the figure for Singapore stood at US$680 million in 2009.
Extra academic work aims to help slow learners and support high achievers. Many Asian parents view it as a constructive way for adolescents to spend their spare time. However, it can also reduce the students' time for sports and other activities important for their overall development as well as cause social tensions as richer families are able to pay for belter-quality tutoring, the study said.
The study calls for a review of educational systems to make such extra teaching less attractive.
68. Why is “Shadow education" an expanding business?
A. Because parents want to spend their money.
B. Because children don't want to go to school.
C. Because parents want their children to stay with teachers.
D. Because parents want to give their children the best start in life.
69. According to the article, what is the purpose of extra academic work?
A. To aid slow learners and support high achievers.
B. To prepare children for all kinds of academic contests.
C. To increase children's hobbies and interests in many fields.
D. To gain the most knowledge that students can't get in class.
70. Which disadvantage of extra academic work is NOT mentioned?
A. Causing social tensions.
B. Spending more extra money.
C. Lacking the chance to communicate with others.
D. Reducing the students' time for sports and other activities.
71. What is the text mainly about?

C. The importance for children's overall development.
D. The reasons for the popularity of private tutors for children.

Psychologists have known that what's going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Professor Remi Radel wanted to investigate how this happens -- whether it's right away, as the brain receives signals from the eyes, or a little later, as the brain's higher-level thinking processes get involved.
Radel chose 42 students and each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating on the day of the test. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, the person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they'd seen -- a food-related word like gateau (cake) or a neutral (中性的) word like bateau (boat).
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception (直觉), Radel says—it's not because of some kind of processing happening in the brain after you've already figured out what you're looking at.
"This is something great to me, that humans can really realize what they need or what they hope for, to know that our brain can really arrange for our motives and needs," Radel says. "There is something inside us that selects information in the world to make life easier.”
72. The purpose of Radel's research is to let us know ____.
A. how our thinking has effect on our senses happens
B. what it is the good time for students to have lunch
C. whether poorer children think coins are larger than they are
D. whether hungry people think pictures of food are brighter
73. In the experiment 20 words that flashed on the screen had something to do with “____”.
A. boat
B. food
C. mind
D. weather
74. Which of the following is true about the experiment?
A. The students should stare at the words in the book.
B. Each word appeared slowly in order that the participant could read it exactly.
C. After each word flashed on the screen, the person was asked to finish two tasks.
D. On the day of the test, all the students were very hungry because of the delay of their lunch.
75. What does the new study find?
A. Actually our brain can arrange for our motives and needs.
B. In the experiment the brain was totally controlled by the senses.
C. People who had just eaten saw all the words more clearly than hungry people.
D. The participants saw the words look different long after the brain dealt with the
information.
