　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:  
　　THE CLASSROOM is a man's world, where boys get two thirds of the teachers' attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from　girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.
　　These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in coeducational schools that single sex classes are the only answer.　Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and　have spent more time with the girls than the boys.”
　　The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school　and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.  In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said　one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocate d to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention.  Boys regarded two thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when　they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”　Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.
　　26. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.
　　A) single sex classes and coeducational classes  B) coeducational classes  C) single sex classes  D) None of the above

　　A) They will keep the teachers' attention again.
　　B) They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.  
　　C) They will play up the teacher something awful.  
　　D) They will feel they are cheated by teachers.
　　29. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.  
　　A) rough B) brave   C)troublesome D) emotional
　　30. The best title for this passage would be ____.  
　　A) boys are teachers' pets
