The first American public high school, established in Boston in 1821, was only for boys. But as the high-school movement spread, new schools quickly became coed. "Almost right from the beginning, society believed in integration by sex." says David Tyack, an education historian at Stanford University. Now a small group of educators—encouraged by studies that show boys and girls learn differently—are turning to single-sex classrooms as a way to re engage students, especially in low-income communities. One of the first to gain national attention was the Young Women's Leadership School in New York's East Harlem, now considered one of the best public schools in the city. Research on the effect of single-sex schools is mixed, and there are no studies on single-sox classrooms in schools. Experts who study single-sex schools say there's considerable evidence that smaller class sizes would help just as much, especially for middle-class kids. But for boys from poor families, that extra attention and focus can make a difference, says Cornelius Riordan, a sociology professor at Providence College who is directing a study on single-sex schools for the U.S. Department of Education.
Schools all over the country are experimenting with the idea. At Lloyd Memorial High School in Erlanger, Ky., freshmen and sophomores were separated by gender last fall for all classes except one, their elective. At the end of the year, the consensus among teachers and the principal is that single-sex works. Students have mixed views. "You don't have the distraction of boys sitting in your classroom," says Katie Brown, "You can just come to class and you're actually in it to learn, not to impress." But after a joyful all-boys science class (the centerpiece was a generator sending off electric sparks), 14-year-old Zack Craddock thought he would have had just as much fun if there were girls in the class. "I think it's personal," he says. "Some guys would have acted the same and some guys would have acted different. I would have been the same."
Principal John Riehemann originally backed the idea as a way to help boys, who were consistently lagging be hind in reading. One issue: too much of the material was girl-oriented. That led to the even more radical move of separating almost all classes. Riehemann said there were no objections from parents or teachers, and the experiment has worked so well that they're expanding it to juniors in the fall.
According to David Tyack, the popular belief in education is that ______.
听力原文： Any one who spends at least one semester in college notices that some students give up on their classes. The person who sits behind you in accounting, for example, begins to miss a lot of class meetings and eventually vanishes. Or another student comes to class without the assignment, writes aimlessly in his notebook during the lecture, and leaves during the break. What's the difference between students like this and the ones who succeed in school？ My survey may be non-scientific, but everyone I asked said the same thing: attitude. A positive attitude is the key to everything else.
What does "a positive attitude" mean？ It means not only showing up for your classes, but also doing something while you're there. Really listen. Take notes. Ask a question if you want to. Don't just walk into a class, put your mind in neutral, and drift away to never-nerve land.
Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this, though. It means being mature about college as an institution. College classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring. If you let a boring class discourage you so much that you want to leave school, you'll lose in the long run. Look at your priorities. You want a degree, or a certificate, or a career. If you have to, you can make it through a less-than-interesting class in order to achieve what you want. Get whatever you can out of every class. But if you simply can't stand a certain class, be determined to fulfill its requirements and be done with it once and for all.

听力原文：M: Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment.
W: Yeah, the place I'm in now is a real down.
M: It was OK when I was there.
W: Oh, the boiler keeps breaking and when it does, we loose the heat for several days at the time.
M: Wily doesn't the owner replace it？
W: Well, she said it was cheaper to keep fixing it. She's a nice enough person, just the sort of mean. In any case, I' m sick of being cold.
M: Can you get your deposit back if you move？
W: If I give two-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.
M: So what kind of place are you looking for？
W: I think I'll try to get into one of those high-rises near the university. There's nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.
M: I heard of those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything that's going on in the other apartment.
W: Oh, that will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis. I guess I'll have to look some more ads. But I still have some worries. You know, maybe new isn't necessarily better.
M: Why don't you try some of those apartments in Winsor？ They're supposed to be nice.
W: Oh, aren't they awfully expensive？
M: Not really, you'll be surprised at how reasonable some of them are. The problem would be that the bus doesn't run that way.
W: That'll definitely be a problem. I can't afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few of the places here in the city before I make a decision.
