Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life.Students hate them because they produce fear and26about being evaluated,and a focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.
But tests are also valuable.A well-constructed test27what you know and what you still need to learn.Tests help you see how your performance28that of others.And knowing that you’ll be tested on29material is certainly likely to30you to learn the material more thoroughly.
However,there’s another reason you might dislike tests:You may assume that tests have the power to31your worth as a person.If you do badly on a test,you may be tempted to believe that you’ve received some32information about yourself from the professor, information that says you’re a failure in some significant way.
This is a dangerous—and wrong-headed—assumption.If you do badly on a test,it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or stupid.Or that you’ll never do better again,and that your life is33 If you don’t do well on a test,you’re the same person you were before you took the test—no better, no worse.You just did badly on a test.That’s it.
34,tests are not a measure of your value as an individual—they are a measure only of how well and how much you studied.Tests are tools;they are indirect and35measures of what we know.

Questions36to45are based on the following passage.
For investors who desire low risk and guaranteed income,US government bonds are a secure investment because these bonds have the financial backing and full faith and credit of the federal government.Municipal bonds,also secure,are offered by local governments and often have 36such as tax-free interest.Some may even be37Corporate bonds are a bit more risky.
Two questions often38first-time corporate bond investors.The first is“If I purchase a corporate bond,do I have to hold it until the maturity date?,”The answer is no.Bonds are bought and sold daily on39securities exchanges.However,if you decide to sell your bond before its maturity date,you’re not guaranteed to get the face value of the bond.For example, if your bond does not have40that make it attractive to other investors,you may be forced
to sell your bond at ,a price less than the bond’s face value.But if your bond is highly valued by other investors,you may be able to sell it at a ,a price above its face value.Bond price

The second question is“How can I43the investment risk of a particular bond issue?”Standard&Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service rate the level of risk of many corporate and government bonds.And44,the higher the market risk of a bond,the higher the interest rate.Investors will invest in a bond considered risky only if the45return is high enough.

Lessons From a Feminist Paradise
A)On the surface,Sweden appears to be a feminist paradise.Look at any global survey of gender equality and Sweden will be near the top.Family-friendly policies are its norm—with16 months of paid parental leave,special protections for part-time workers,and state-subsidized preschools where,according to a government website,“gender-awareness education is increasingly common.”Due to an unofficial quota system,women hold45percent of positions in the Swedish parliament.They have enjoyed the protection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research.So why are American women so far ahead of their Swedish counterparts in breaking through the glass ceiling?
B)In a2012report,the World Economic Forum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap in“economic participation and opportunity,”the United States is ahead of not only Sweden but also Finland,Denmark,the Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and the United Kingdom. Sweden’s rank in the report can largely be explained by its political quota system.Though the United States has fewer women in the workforce(68percent compared to Sweden’s77percent), American women who choose to be employed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs as managers or professionals.They also own more businesses,launch more start-ups(新创办的企业）,and more ofte
n work in traditionally male fields.As for breaking through the glass ceiling in business,American women are well in the lead.
C)What explains the American advantage?How can it be that societies like Sweden,where
