【推荐1】Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create products for improving a child's emotional intelligence. These toys reportedly not only help raise intelligence in children, but also their emotional quotient, or EQ（情商）.
At the toy fair, companies showed off their products.
PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses augmented（增强的）reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Durán, the company director, showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. Intelligence includes intrapersonal skills（processing information within one's mind）and interpersonal skills（dealing with other people）. Durán said PleIQ builds on both by having children act as teachers or guides to a companion character.
Karen Hu presented an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Toys that work as companions also aid in social development. Hu described how the robot can help a child who suffers from autism（自闭症）. "The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things."
Jonathan Erickson, the sales director, showed off a board game called "Q"s Race to the Top. "Kevin Chaja said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. "The biggest thing is her talking. And that's the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, 'Hey, what does it feel like to be sad?'"
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.

【推荐2】The Honors Program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (HPBMB) is offered to mature high school seniors with strong academic ability and achievement who seek careers in biological or biomedical science. Students can earn both a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.) in approximately 6 years.
Applicants to the Honors Program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology must be in their last year of high school.
Undergraduates will have the opportunity to work with top-level research scientists in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and also in clinical laboratories with scientists that are associated with the department. They will conduct intensive laboratory work in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology or nutritional biochemistry starting in the summer before their first fall semester starts. By spring of their junior year；students will prepare an undergraduate thesis as preparation for their entry into graduate school. At that time, they will start taking graduate courses and continue to do research with a graduate faculty member.
To be considered students must:
• have a combined SAT I score of 1400(combined Math and Critical Reading scores)
• meet the SAT II score requirement of at least 600 in Math, and one science (Biology, Chemistry or Physics)
• have completed eight semesters of English and mathematics and two semesters each of Biology and Chemistry by the time they graduate from high school
• complete all components of your Common Application for undergraduate admission by November 1 of your senior year
• complete a supplemental application form for the Honors Program in Bio chemistry & Molecular Biology
• include a counselor recommendation, three letters of recommendation from teachers in support, of your application to the Honors Program and a personal statement

【推荐3】How to Average Results from a Student Survey
Student surveys provide a lot of information that school administrators can learn from.
After all the survey questionnaires have been filled and returned, the results can now be tabulated (制成表格).
On a survey question that provides levels of satisfaction, respondents can answer with numeric values (数值), from 1 to 10, according to how satisfied they are. If five forms were given and returned values of 2, 2, 5, 5 and 3, the sum would be 17 and then dividing that by 5 will get you an average satisfaction rating of 3.4.
Using numeric values is a simple way for respondents to rate questions or statements and would be easier to average the results at the end of the survey.
| A．Answer choices can be designed in many ways. |
| B．The goals for conducting a survey must be clear. |
| C．First of all, handout student survey questionnaires. |
| D．The average can also be expressed as a percentage. |
| E．Then an average for each question can be calculated. |
| F．It means students aren’t satisfied with the surveyed subject. |
| G．School managements can be improved through student feedback. |
