The bias is unintentional and unconscious, but it is there nevertheless, and it is influencing the lives of millions of schoolchildren every year. From nursery school to postgraduate courses, teachers were shown to call on males in class far more than on female students. This behavior has a great impact on the learning process, for in general, those students who become active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes and go on to higher achievement.Comprehension1.F2.

Most E-auctions are conducted in the English way today. But as more and more people are recognizing the advantages of Dutch auctions, its certain that more e-businesses will adopt the Dutch method, especially with those time-sensitive ones.Reading IIDictationAuction is a sale at which people bid for articles being sold. An auctioneer conducts the sale and receives the bids. In conducting the sale, the auctioneer usually acts as an agent for the seller, although he or she may also have an interest in the goods offered. The auctioneer divides the property to be sold into "lots". Either through a spoken announcement or printed catalog, the auctioneer describes the lots and outlines the legal and financial conditions for the auction. In the English system of auction, the auctioneer begins at a low price and participants keep raising their bids until the highest bid has been reached.ComprehensionTrue / False / Not Mentioned1. T2.
