Summary of Text A, Unit 1During a visit to China for studying arts education, the writer got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education through an interesting phenomenon. When the writer’s son Benjamin was trying to place the key into the narrow slot, the writer was happy to see his exploratory behavior, while the nearby Chinese staff would come to his rescue, so called “ba zhe shou jiao”. The key-slot anecdote caused the writer to discuss with Chinese educators. According to the writer, American ideas attach more attention to innovation and self-reliance, emphasize the ability of solving problems on his own, and encourage children to boldly try new and challenging things. To some extent, they don’t care the initial success, instead, they care the fostering of children’s creativity. For Chinese, adults want to mold and shape children’s performance to master as many basic skills with extreme facility as possible. So adults tend to infuse children with all kinds of skills in direct ways, and don’t allow them to explore new things. Nearly all solutions must obey established rules, and some adults usually teach by holding their hands. Nevertheless, the writer still approves of Chinese creativity, and wants to strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.。

Children seem tofeel otherchildren’s pain and discomfort fromthe day they areborn--much earlier than they realize they existasindividuals. By one year old, they start to learn themisery is someone else’s but still seem confused about what todo. At around two and a half years,children may growout of motor mimicrywhen they are able todifferentiate their own feelings from others’ feelings, so they are ableto use other means to comfort others. At the same time,theirempathic concernbegins todifferfrom one toantoher.unit3 summaryIdentity theft refers to stealing information about someone that makes it possible to use their bank account or credit card. With an informal and conversational tone the author persuades readers into actions against the threats of identity fraud in our daily life. According to the author we make t he thieves’ job easy by leaving our mails unprotected, using ball pens for checks and forms, throwing documents containing our personal information in the trash, leaving our computer on and so on.

We can take precautions to improve the chances of avoiding this crime, though it will never go away.unit4 summaryWhat exactly is news? The objective importance and the historical, international significance of an event is not enough. It is the odd, unexpected and human nature that made news like 9/11 memorable and newsworthy. So is immediacy which refers to the nearness of the event in time.When it comes to immediacy, those media like TV, radio and Internet have an enormous advantage over the press. However, no matter what form it may take, all the media more or less covertly, influence the public. That is the so- called power of the media.In the new millennium, maybe the press or TV are not going to disappear overnight, butthe power of the media may be eroded or at least devolved to ordinary people.Unit 11 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

1.1/2: Categorical Variables and Displaying Distributions with Graphs Individuals and Variables∙Individuals are objects described by a set of data. Individuals may be people, but they may also be animals or things.∙ A variable is any characteristic of an individual. A variable can take different values for different individuals.Categorical and Quantitative Variables∙ A categorical variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories.∙ A quantitative variable takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as adding and averaging make sense.DistributionThe distribution of a variable tells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes these variables.Describing the Overall Pattern of a Distribution – Remember your SOCS To describe the overall pattern of a distribution, address all of the following:∙S pread – give the lowest and highest value in the data set∙O utliers – are there any values that stand out as unusual?∙C enter – what is the approximate average value of the data (only an estimation)∙S hape – does the graph show symmetry, or is it skewed in one direction (see below) OutliersAn outlier in any graph of data is an individual observation that falls outside the overall pattern of the graph.Describing the SHAPE of a distribution – Symmetric and Skewed Distributions Symmetric Skewed Left Skewed RightMean = Median Mean < Median Mean > MedianTime Plot∙ A time plot of a variable plots each observation against the time at which it was measured.∙Always mark the time scale on the horizontal axis and the variable of interest on the vertical axis. If there are not too many points, connecting the points by lines helps show the pattern of changes over time.1.3: Describing Distributions with NumbersThe Mean (x )To find the mean of a set of observations, add their values and divide by the number of observations. If the n observations are x1, x2, …, xn, their mean is:123n x x x x x n +++⋅⋅⋅+= or simply, 1ni i x x ==∑The Median (M)∙ The median M is the midpoint of distribution, the number such that half the observations are smaller and the other half are larger. To find the median of distribution:∙ Arrange all observation in order of size, from smallest to largest.∙ If the number of observations n is odd, the median M is the center observation in the ordered list. The position of the center observation can be found at (n + 1) / 2∙ If the number of observations n is even, the median M is the mean of the two centerobservations in the ordered list. The position of the two middle values are n /2 and n /2 + 1The Five-Number SummaryThe five-number summary of a data set consists of the smallest observation, the first quartile, the median, the third quartile, and the largest observation, written in order from smallest to largest. In symbols, the five-number summary is:Minimum – Q 1 – M – Q 3 – MaximumThe Quartiles (Q 1 and Q 3 )∙ To calculate the quartiles, arrange the observations in increasing order and locate the median M in the ordered list of observations.∙ The 1st quartile (Q1) is middle number of the values that are less than the median.∙ The 3rd quartile (Q3) is the middle number of the values that are greater than the median.The Interquartile Range (IQR)The IQR is the distance between the first and third quartiles, IQR = Q3 - Q1Outliers: The 1.5 x IQR CriterionCall an observation an outlier if it falls more than 1.5 x IQR below the first quartile or above the third quartile. Using the 5-number summary from above as an example (IQR = 40-28=12) ∙ Low outlier cutoff: 1 1.5Q IQR -⨯ (example: 28 – 1.5(12) = 28 – 18 = 10) Therefore, the 2 is an outlier.∙ High outlier cutoff: 3 1.5Q IQR +⨯(example: 40 + 1.5(12) = 40 + 18 = 58) no outlier1.3: Describing Distributions with NumbersBoxplotA boxplot is a graph of the five-number summary, with outliers plotted individually. ∙ A central box spans the quartiles.∙ A line in the box marks the median.∙ Observations more than 1.5 x IQR outside the central box are plotted individually. ∙ Lines extend from the box out to the smallest and largest observations, not the outliers.Example :The Standard Deviation (S or Sx)The standard deviation of a set of observations is the average of the squares of the deviations of the observations from their mean. The formula for the standard deviation of n observations x 1, x 2, …, x n is:s =Calculation of the Standard DeviationConsider the data below which has a mean of 4.8:2.387===。
