解题的十大原则

1. The term of formal learning is used to refer to all learning which takes place in the classroom, irrespective of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies. Informal learning on the other hand is used to refer to learning which takes place outside the classroom.

Informal learning takes place outside the classroom.

2. The traditional images of the “male breadwinner” and “female housewife and mother” may be breaking down among females but this process is occurring more slowly among males.

Men accept changing perceptions of traditional gender roles more slowly than women do.

3. It has been demonstrate that rapid response leads to a greater likelihood of an arrest only if responses are in the order of 1-2 minutes after a call is received by the police. When response times increase to 3-4 minutes — still quite a rapid response — the likelihood of an arrest is substantially reduced.

A response delay of 1-2 minutes may have substantial influence on whether or not a suspected criminal is caught.

4. As domestic markets are opened up to international competition and quotas which restricted the quantity of imports from any one country are abandoned, cheap, subsidized foreign imports are threatening the livelihood of many women small producers and entrepreneurs in “cottage industries”.

The opening up of domestic markets has greatly benefited cottage industries.

5. Women also have less job security and fewer opportunities for promotion. Higher status jobs, even in industries which employ mostly women, tend to be filled by men.

Men are invariably preferred to women when it comes to promotion.

6. Most of the port city’s population is engaged in providing goods and services for the city itself. Trade outside the city is its basic function. But each basic worker requires food, housing, clothing and other such services.

Most people in a port city are engaged in international trade and finance.

7. Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it is becoming less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes poisonous members of the animal kingdom.

Frogs and toads are usually poisonous.

8. There are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages, and cater for all tastes. Pubs are the venue for smaller modern bands, while the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Centre in the heart of the city.

The Entertainment Centre is only for international popular music artists who attract large audiences.

9. Long excluded from many paid jobs and thus economically dependent on husbands or fathers, paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women. For many previously inexperienced young women, the opportunity to gain financial independence, albeit limited and possibly temporary, has helped break down some of the taboos of their societies and prescriptions on women’s behaviour.

Unemployment men generally encourage their wives to work.

10. The 57-square-lilometre Sydney Harbor is one of the largest in the world, and famous for the unmistakable 134-metre high arch of the Harbor Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House.

Sydney harbor is the largest in the world.
