1.In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us needs to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don't use the learning techniques that science has proved most effective. Worse, research finds that learning strategies we do commonly employ, like rereading and highlighting (突出标示), are among the least effective. Although highlighting and underlining are common practices, studies show they offer no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Some research even indicates that highlighting can get in the way of learning; because it draws attention to individual facts, it may interfere with the process of making connections and drawing inferences (推断). Nearly as bad is the practice of rereading, a common exercise that is much less effective than some of the better techniques you can use. Lastly, summarizing, or writing down the main points contained in a text, can be useful for those who are skilled at it, but it is also rated as being of low utility as there are far better ways to spend your study time. In contrast to familiar practices like highlighting and rereading, the learning techniques with the most evidence to support them aren't well known outside the laboratory. Take distributed practice, for example. This technique involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon (马拉松). Rote (死记硬背) at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quicklydisappear from memory. It's much more effective to dip into the material at intervals over time.2.I have never been able to understand people who don't see the point in traveling. The common reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I've heard some are scared to travel too far away. I can't help, but feel sorry particularly for those who perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn't result in the expected curiosity but a "Why would you wanna go there?" It makes me lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told. It is Mark Twain who said, "Travel is fatal (致命的) to prejudice , bigotry (偏执) and narrow-mindedness," which in my mind goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren't enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad, you should do it despite going out of your comfort zone. You might realize why you love it once you're back home. I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel depressed at home, don't know what to do with your future, your life, your partner, or anything. Once you are away, preferably somewhere very new and unknown, you are forced to adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life andespecially the new relationships you build, even if only for a short period of time, reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.3.People have always been interested in the lives of the wealthy and famous, but in recent years that interest has developed into widespread obsession (沉迷). Is this a good thing? It's definitely not a good thing when the celebrity concerned is doing nothing but set a bad example. Celebrities and those in the public eye have a responsibility which few appear to acknowledge. Their behavior, the way they dress, the way they conduct themselves when out on the town, the cars they drive and the places they go on holiday are all seen by fans and followers as goals worth pursuing. It's therefore not surprising that so many young people routinely use illegal substances, drink too much, are preoccupied with their appearances and care so little for the environment. I'm reminded that celebrities are people too. They are subject to the temptations the anxieties and mental strain that everyone has to bear. But I think that it is high time that celebrities woke up to their responsibilities. If they want to be applauded for their work they must assume responsibility for the role model that they provide. Many celebrities are guilty of setting bad examples at one time or another. When will these people become aware of the fact that whatever they do will be copied by countless hundreds,thousands, even millions of people? While most people are sensible enough not to be overly influenced by such stories there are plenty who will hear these tales and see them as a green light. They'll believe that it is perfectly OK to drive an environment killing car at breakneck speed on public roads because some thoughtless, selfish celebrity has bragged (吹嘘) about doing it.4.Changes in how universities and research institutions are funded have meant that there are fewer permanent, full-time posts available. In addition to the reduction in the number of posts, the perceived value of having a career in higher education has changed over the last 30 years. In the past, an individual who was intelligent, hard-working, and got along with their colleagues, would start with a PhD and then move into teaching and lecturing, with the ultimate goal of becoming a professor in a university or research institute. While the career path is no longer that smooth, there are still options for those who are committed a career in academia (学术界). One way is to embrace and pursue a career as a global researcher, operating in an international context. For those who are building an international reputation, there is also the option of becoming an intellectual who is active in the public eye. For academics who want neither of the above, one feasible career move is to cross over into higher education management, which were traditionally the preserve ofacademics nearing the end of their career. Whichever career path an individual takes, wider changes will have a number of implications for individual lifestyles and relationships. Eventually, academics will need to go where the money is. They are likely to end up taking on a number of part-time contracts at different institutions at the same time, or temporary contracts one after another. This means that they will find less stability in their working lives. This can lead to frustrations rooted in the challenges of striking a balance between the need for a career and the need for a stable personal life.。

复合式听写
⑤ 对文章叙述逻辑的考查
叙述逻辑即上下文的因果、转折、递进、解释等关系。 如果同学们能看出这些关系，则不用听就可以将所缺单词填上。 如 But Michael's (success) hasn't always come easy. (5)______ his intelligence, he still lacks important life (6)_______. In one class, he had to struggle to understand (7)______ novels, because, he says, "I'm 11. I've never been in love before." 由上下文个逻辑关系可以判断（ 5 ）应该填 Despite ， 即虽然他很聪慧，但却缺乏很重要的生活……。后面在课上所 发生的事情是说明他缺乏（……）的一个例证。例证本身不仅 说明了（ 6 ）应该填 experiences ，同时也说明（ 7 ）应该 填 love 。
关于听写的时间安排： 1、第一遍，单词部分尽量写出首字母一个或 两个。以减少第二遍的负担。句子部分，尽量确 定主语和谓语。
2、第二遍，单词部分填写完整。句子部分， 用自己的语言结构出主要含义。
3、第三遍，检查单词部分。完善句子部分。
一般可以有四种做法： 1．逐字逐句听写（适合比较简单的句子或比 较牛的同学） 2．听懂之后写句子大意，无语法错误（适合 于比较长的句子） 比较常用的方法是判断这句话表达的是正面 的意思还是反面的意思， 正面的意思尝试用 it is good / important 之 类的句子改写 反面的意思尝试用 it is bad / harmful 之类的 句子改写

stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored the need for better coordination in organizations. team management provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may notoccur naturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore, teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group ’ s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperation process within teams, must be organized, promoted and managed. he believes that team cooperation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. together, the team may then produce something new, unique, and superior to that of any one member. for this to happen, he suggests that the multicultural managers exhibit understandings of their own and others ’ cultural influences and limitations. they should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.问题 +答案：16.what should team members do to fully realizetheir potential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17.what needs to be considered for effective team management?b)what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?英语六级听力真题及d)a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight success. it was put on

Compound DictationPassage OneThe pursuit of success is a natural human drive. We all desire success in one form or another. Perhaps we want to get a 1 , or run a successful business, or be respected for our art. But if we are going to put a good deal of our youthful 2 into achieving a goal, it's worth taking the time to ask ourselves whether the goal is worth 3 . If we ask ourselves why we wish to achieve anything, the 4 answer is that we believe it will make us happy. Now we must 5 whether this is true, and whether there might be a quicker 6to happiness, and most importantly, whether the pursuit of this future happiness is risking our happiness today. The Greek philosopher Aristotle7 an experiment about happiness. He said that if you ask anyone why they are doing something or what they are doing, their 8 answer will be because it makes them happy. A person starting up her own business might initially say she wants to make money and have more 9 . Ask her why and she'll say because it will let her spend more quality time with her family, ask her again and she'll say that this quality time will bring her happiness. We all look for happiness most of the time every day. Butwe 10 stop and ask ourselves –– are we pursuing it in the most 11 way? We'll examine how efficient our business plan is, or our work 12 , or our golf drive, but we don't stop to look at whether we are 13 moving towards happiness. In order to achieve the goal of happiness, we should 14 asking ourselves whether our life map is leading us toward happiness by the fastest 15 .Passage TwoFor most people, shopping is still a matter of 1 down the high street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from2 will be harder. Many governments therefore want to3 high street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace (网络空间) as a basis for a new era of corporate (全体的) self-regulation. Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes4 for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs, or their rights to a refund (退款) when goods are faulty. But governments cannot5 national laws on businesses whose only presence in their country is on the screen. Other countries have6 , but the rules of consumer protection differ, as does enforcement. One answer is for governments to7 more: to recognize each other's rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of8 rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept. There is, however, an9 . Let the electronic businesses do the "regulations" themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so. In electronic commerce, a good 10 for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset for all businesses. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. Forinstance, customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the 11 screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA's rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead. Consumers will need to use their judgment. But 12 because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more 13 than consumers of the normal sort—and the new technology will also make it easier for them to 14 noisily when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the coming of technology may 15 for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.Passage ThreeOne of the greatest things about 1 over advertising is the greater fuss, the more of a 2 the industry itself seems to become. Advertising is an area that 3 intense passion and emotion. It seems to affect those who attack it and those who defend it in similar ways. Before long both are exhibiting the same overwhelming urge to 4 their case and it then becomes 5 to believe that the critics and the defenders of advertising are even arguing over the same thing. But just as it seemed 6 to us to accept advertising without going to either extreme, it also seemed 7 to try and find out what advertising in the Britain of the sixties was really like. We knew it expended about 500 million dollars a year and it employed over 200, 000 individuals with higher 8 . But once we tried finding out 9 what all this money was spent on, what all these highly paid individuals did for it, a curious thing happened. This strange animal called advertising began to 10. In its place were advertising men and advertising 11 , all working in different ways and to different rules and all showing obvious differences of ability, taste and 12 . We ended by discovering groups of well-paid, highly anxious advertising individuals. They were all trying hard, in their various ways to endure the opposed and often 13 pressures within their work. Their success or failure resulted from their 14 . All this seemed of considerable importance, and any future move to reform advertising will have to make the 15 effort to understand what it is about and why its individuals behave as they do.Passage FourUnemployment and poverty are the two major 1 that are facing the world economy at present. Unemployment leads to financial crisis and 2 the overall purchasing power of a nation. This in turn results in poverty followed by increasing burden of debt. Now, poverty can be 3 in several ways. According to the World Bank, poverty manifests a financial condition where people are unable to 4 the minimum standard of living. Poverty can beof different types like absolute poverty and relative poverty. There may be many other 5 like urban poverty, rural poverty, primary poverty, 6 poverty and many more. Whatever the type of poverty, the basic reason has always been lack of respectable income. Here comes the role of unemployment behind poverty. Lack of employment opportunities and the7 income difference bring about mass poverty in most of the developing and underdeveloped economies of the world. Lack of effective demand of labor is one of the 8 reasons for unemployment. In the less developed economies a substantial portion of the total workforce works as surplus labor. This problem is 9 prevailing in the agricultural10 . Due to excess labor, the marginal productivity of the workforce may be zero or even11 . This excess pool of labor is the first to become unemployed during the period of economic or social crisis. When a capitalist economy 12 some dynamic changes in its organizational structure, it results in structural unemployment. This type of unemployment may also 13 if the lack of effective demand continues for a substantially long period of time. In case of frictional unemployment（摩擦性失业）, workers are 14 unemployed. There may be cases of hidden unemployment where workers restrain themselves from working due to absence of appropriate 15 .Passage FiveIn recent years, American society has become increasingly 1 on its universities to find 2 to its major problems. It is the universities that have been charged with the principal responsibility for developing the 3 to place men on the moon; to deal with our deteriorating environment; to develop the means to feed the world's rapidly increasing population. The effort 4 in meeting these demands results in its own problems. This5 on the creation of new knowledge significantly affects the universities' efforts to perform their principal functions, the6 and interpretation of knowledge, the imparting of the heritage (传统) of the past and the preparing of the next generation to carry it forward. With regard to this task, universities today7 find themselves in a serious bind. On the one hand, there is the American8 to provide higher education for all young people who can profit from it. The result of this has been a dramatic increase in an enrollment in our universities,9 with a radical shift from the private to the public sector of higher education. On the other hand, there are serious limitations on the resources 10 for higher education. While higher education has become a great "growth industry," it is also simultaneously a tremendous drain on the resources of this nation. One 11 aspect of this drain on resources lies in the shortage of trained 12 , which, in turn, has led to a declining standard in instruction. 13 these difficulties is the concern with research, with its competing claims on resources and faculty. In addition, there is a strong14 for the institutions' organization and functionality to 15 to the demands of research rather than those of teaching.Passage SixWhat is leadership? Its qualities are difficult to define. But they are not so difficult to1 . Leaders don't force other people to go along with them. They bring them along. Leaders get2 from others by giving it themselves, by building an environment that encourages creativity, and by operating with3 and fairness. Good leaders aren't "lone rangers" (独行侠). They4 that an organization's strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. Leadership is the5 for transforming those talents into results. Successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future – not sticking to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility, to6 , and to take the lead. They are not7 with merely taking care of what's already there. They want to move forward to create something new. Leaders provide answers as well as direction, offer strength as well as8 , and speak from experience as well as understanding from the problems they face and the people they work with. Leaders are9 . They believe in unity rather than yielding. And they 10 to achieve agreements out of 11 . Leadership is all about getting people 12 to give their best, helping them to grow to their fullest 13 , and motivating them to work toward a common good. A good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. A leader who has respect for other people at all 14 of an organization will find that respect is returned. If you have their respect, they will be motivated to work 15 to accept your ideas, to follow you and to take actions.Compound DictationPassage OneThe pursuit of success is a natural human drive.

1. Spend a day with a dolphin, and you‟re quickly reminded of why they‟ve always captured our imaginations. They are (1) playful, sociable, and just (2) incredibly fun to be around. But scientists say there‟s a lot more to these animals, and they‟re just beginning to understand the intricate thinking of these so-called big brain (3) mammals.Here you go, Nanny. Good girl! We came here to the Baltimore Aquarium to see just how (4) intelligent dolphins are. Y ou see them playing with their (5) trainers all the time, but scientists who study them say there‟s a lot more happening there than just play, that their intelligence actually (6) rivals ours. Here you go!To see up close what has scientists so excited, we climb down into a tiny underwater lab, with a window into the aquarium, where scientist Diana Reiss puts a two-way mirror up against the glass. (“Now this is the mirror.”) The dolphins can‟t see us, but Reiss can study how the dolphins (7) react to the mirror.“(8) We used to think we were the only species on the planet that could think, and now we know that we are amongst many thinking species. So the question is no longer …Can they think?‟ but …How do they think?‟ and what‟s amazing is, in this capacity with giving them mirrors, it looks they are doing a lot of things very similar to us.”Reiss has been studying dolphin‟s behavior for 25 years. “Most animals don‟t even pay attention to mirrors. (9) So if you put a mirror in front of your dog, most dogs won‟t even look into the mirror. Cats don‟t pay much attention. Other animals do pay attention, but never figure out its themselves, they think its another of their own kind.”But dolphins do figure it out. “(10) And not only do they figure out that it‟s them, but they show interest to look at themselves. So one thing is to understand that it‟s themselves, it‟s a whole other thing to say, …I want to look at myself. I want to look, see what my face looks like, or what does it look like when I turn upside down and blow a bubble.‟”2. Kessler Foundation! Discoveries that change lives. The Neuro Recovery Network is really very exciting and has immediate application in the sense that it‟s the one program where we are looking at reorganizing the activity of the nervous system through repetitive motion. In this (1) particular example we are trying to get people walking (2) again from being in a (3) wheelchair. We had (4) incredible success with that program. People who were not able to walk for (5) months if not years, are now able to get back out of their chair and (6) function. So it‟s very exciting and has immediate ramifications. We‟re (7) really at a point in time where we are able to take technology, (8) for the first time technology is growing so rapidly, and address problems that people have had for a long time. People have had strokes forever; people have lost their mobility forever, their ability to speak, their memories for a long time. (9) But right now it‟s very exciting because of the new innovative ways of technologies that we have, that I really think is going to propel us in the future to really help people like we‟ve never done before. This is a very exciting time, (10) people are going to get back to work, people are going to get back to their families, like we‟ve never seen before. It‟s an exciting time to be working at the Kessler Foundation. Kessler Foundation! Discoveries that change lives.3.Many people dream of making it big, buying a bigger house, designer clothes, nicer car. But with a record number of (1) millionaires now living right here in the United States, an age-old question is now front and (2) center. Can money really buy happiness?The Bible says the love of money is the root of all (3) evil. So why do people want it so (4) badly? And if you get it, can it buy you happiness? Deal or no deal.Money is God in this country, it‟s almost too important. It takes over …Be great to have lots of money, but then when you think about it, you have a different set of problems. I mean, you‟re still paying the same (5) bills, it‟s just they‟ll be higher.Best-selling (6) author David Bach is a money mentor on CNBC‟s The Millionaire Inside, going from rags to riches. He says he found happiness, but it wasn‟t just about dollars and sense.I think what most Americans really want is (7) freedom. We‟re the land of free. (8) But when three out of four people are living paycheck to paycheck, they don‟t feel free.So here‟s a lot of opportunity for the average American to become what I call an automatic millionaire. For Bach, that means paying yourself first, (9) saving one hour a day of your income and spending less. There are different levels of life, you have the survival level where someone really is living paycheck to paycheck. (10) Then you have security where someone, you know, says my basic needs are covered. Maybe they‟ve got 6 months to a year with an expensefacade. Once you get past a year of expenses, you start to become free.4. Prior to the innovation of Capitalism, mercantilism was the main economic theory of the period from the 15th through the mid-18th century. Most European statesmen believed that power and wealth could be (1) gained through their government‟s tight control of their nation‟s economy and capital, so most of what was produced and consumed was closely regulated by government. The governments believed the wealth of their country depended on local production and (2) consumption, so most of the governments of the time period would either ban imports outright or discourage imports by imposing larger taxes or tariffs on imported items. They would also (3) encourage exports by paying bounties to local manufacturers who exported goods to other countries. In (4) addition, these governments often granted monopolies to select people for producing a certain type of product or trading with certain (5) regions. A good example is the famous British East India Company which has a monopoly on trading with the East Indies and India and selling tea to the British colonies. I n Europe‟s colonies trade was strictly controlled to (6) benefit the economy of the mother country. M ercantilism was the driving economic force behind Europe‟s (7) colonization of the New World, Africa and Asia. (8) Adam Smith‟s theory of Capitalism was an act of rebellion against the theory of mercantilism.CapitalismCapitalism is a socioeconomic system in which capital, also known as the means of production, is collected on and traded for goods such as labor, raw materials and food with minimum regulation. A capitalistic society is based on free markets (9) where individuals openly compete for the resources available to the society. Capitalistic societies form the foundation of our world economy today.5. BRIAN GREENE: In 1933, after fleeing Nazi Germany, Einstein settled in Princeton, New Jersey. Working in solitude, he stubbornly continued the quest he had begun more than a decade earlier —to unite gravity and electromagnetism. Every few years, headlines appeared proclaiming Einstein was on the verge of success. But most of his (1) colleagues believed his quest was misguided and that his best days were already behind him.STEVEN WEINBERG: Einstein in his later years got rather (2) detached from the work of physics in general and stopped reading people‟s papers. I didn‟t even think he knew there was such a thing as the “w eak nuclear force”. He didn‟t pay (3) attention to those things. He kept working on the same problem that he had started working on as a younger man.S. JAMES GA TES, JR.: When the (4) community of theoretical physicists begins to probe the atom, Einstein very (5) definitely gets left out of the picture. He, in some sense, chooses not to look at the physics coming from these experiments. That means that the laws of Quantum Mechanics play no role in his sort of further investigations. He‟s thought to be this doddering (衰老的), (6) sympathetic old figure who led an earlier (7) revolution but somehow fell out of it.BRIAN GREENE: Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955. And for many years, (8) it seemed that Einstein‟s dream of unifying the forces in a single theory died with him.S. JAMES GA TES, JR.: So the quest for unification becomes a backwater (死水) of physics. By the time of Einstein‟s death in the ‟50s, (9) almost no serious physicists are engaged in this quest for unification.BRIAN GREENE: In the years since, physics split into 2 separate camps: one that uses General Relativity to study big and heavy objects —things like stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole; and another that uses Quantum Mechanics to study the tiniest of objects like atoms and particles. This has kind of been like (10) having two families that just cannot get along, and never talk to each other, living under the same roof.There just seemed to be no way to combine Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity in a single theory that could describe the universe on all scales.6. Reeve conquered Hollywood as a young man soaring into the public eye as Superman. Later he (1) refused to let crippling spinal cord injury conquer his super spirit. CBS news (2) correspondent Kelly Cobiella looks back at Reeve‟s life as an actor and an activist. Christopher Reeve flew into American psyche as the (3) handsome hero. He‟d been acting since he was ten, but was relative (4) unknown when he landed the lead in the 1978 movie about the Manof Steel. With his six-foot-four frame and steely blue eyes, Reeve was the (5) perfect fit. So much so that the actor struggled to, as he often put it, “escape the cape”. He proved his range in the 1993 film Remains of the Day. “The other hand, neither would we care for peace at any price.”His love of (6) adventure would force him into another role. Thrown from a horse in 1995, the man who could fly was suddenly trapped in the broken body. Reeve says he thought about (7) suicide but couldn‟t leave his family. Instead the actor became an activist, using his charm and wit, “Even before my accident, I couldn‟t speak that loud.” (8) To push for social issues and stem cell research, and using his own body to test the limits of science, his paralysis foundation helped raise the awareness and money to find cure for spinal cord injuries. “Now, many of the best and brightest scientists are working on this spinal cord research, I think it is because they know around the verge there are incredible breakthroughs.”(9) That passion worked his way into the presidential campaign. Just last Friday when Senator Kerry was asked about the stem cell research, he pointed to Reeve as an inspiration. “First, Reeve exercises his every single day to (10) keep those muscles alive for the day when he believes he could walk again. And I want him to walk again.” Reeve inspired millions with the waggle of a finger and three words, “Nothing is impossible.”“How, without a body, am I going to be able to do my job? And that is turned out better than I could ever hope for.”He‟s escaped the cape, “Who are you?”“A friend.”but never left the role of superhero. Kelly Cobiella at CBS news, New Y ork.7.Anchor:Community members gathered again this week in North County to mark another tragic loss. Theyremembered 14-year-old Amber Dubois, whose body was found last weekend on the Pala Indian Reservation. At a candlelight vigil Monday night, Amber‟s father, Maurice Dubois, spoke to the (1) crowd.Maurice Dubois: Please take a minute for every tear you have ever (2) shed for Amber, for Chelsea, and for any other child who has (3) suffered at the hands of these predators, and come back tomorrow and take just as many minutes of (4) action in our fight to protect our children.Penner: The discovery of Amber‟s body came one week after the body of 17-year-old Chelsea King was found near Lake Hodges. These (5) tragedies are raising many questions in the community about safety, crime and (6) laws to protect kids. Joining me to talk about the aftermath of these (7) events are KPBS reporters Amita Sharma and Ana Tintocalis. And thank you both for joining us. So, Ana, what is the mood in the county over these deaths?Ana Tintocalis: Well, I talked to a number of parents and (8) obviously the loss of these two teenagers has touched everyo ne‟s heart nationally, in the world, and of course here in San Diego County. I think there is deep sadness, grief, just a deep sense of loss. And I think there‟s also disbelief. I heard a lot of parents say, “I can‟t believe this has happened in our commun ity”. And I think that has led into this feeling of uneasiness. I think parents feel — the parents I talked to — feel like (9) they have to rethink their own approach to child safety and neighborhood safety.I also get a sense of determination, like parents want to take back their neighborhoods. (10) They want to getinvolved with helping legislation become more strict on sex offenders.8. Families, friends, fellow owners and creditors, welcome!Y ou are here to celebrate something very special; you are here to celebrate the (1) performance of 2,355 hopes. Y ou are here to celebrate the (2) realization of 2,355 dreams. And for them, the world‟s best graduating class, congratulations! Y ou have perfected your technical skills, your (3) academic knowledge, and for some of you, the uncanny ability to make weird things appear in odd (4) locations. Y ou have indeed mastered your mind and hands —but that is NOT enough.The (5) intellectual power embodied by you needs a meaning, the engineer in you needs a purpose, the mind and hands you have perfected at MIT need a heart. That‟s right, that is your new (6) motto today: mind, hand and heart.And so, my fellow engineers of the future: Engineer tomorrow with a heart that knows only virtue. Engineer tomorrow with an (7) imagination of the world as it ought to be. Engineer tomorrow with dreams that transcend the impossible. Only with valor and integrity can you truly complete an education.(8) MIT has empowered you to be a force for good and to be true to your most daring ideas. But with great power, comes great responsibility. (9) For when you are at MIT, you cannot say: “let someone else”because there is no “someone else.” (10) Y ou are the world‟s hope against the threats of climate change, the menace of wars and abuses ofhuman rights, and the devastations of diseases, epidemics, poverty and economic instability. Y ou are the best and brightest hope of the world.9.The spread of information networks is forming a new nervous system for our planet. When something happens in Haiti or Hunan, the rest of us learn about it in real time — from real people. And we can (26) respond in real time as well. Americans eager to help in the aftermath of a disaster and the girl trapped in the supermarket are connected in ways that were not even imagined a year ago, even a (27) generation ago. That same principle applies to almost all of (28) humanity today. As we sit here, any of you — or maybe more likely, any of our children — can take out the tools that many carry every day and (29) transmit this discussion to billions across the world.Now, in many (30) respects, information has never been so free. There are more ways to spread more ideas to more people than at any moment in history. And even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people (31) discover new facts and making governments more accountable.During his visit to China in November, for example, President Obama held a town hall meeting with an (32) online component to highlight the importance of the Internet. In response to a question that was sent in over the Internet, (33) he defended the right of people to freely access information, and said that the more freely information flows, the stronger societies become. He spoke about how access to information helps citizens hold their own governments accountable, generates new ideas, encourages creativity and entrepreneurship. (34) The United States‟ belief in that ground truth is what brings me here today.Because amid this unprecedented surge in connectivity, we must also recognize that these technologies are not an unmitigated blessing. (35) These tools are also being exploited to undermine human progress and political rights. Just as steel can be used to build hospitals or machine guns, or nuclear power can either energize a city or destroy it, modern information networks and the technologies they support can be harnessed for good or for ill. The same networks that help organize movements for freedom also enable al-Qaida to spew hatred and incite violence against the innocent. And technologies with the potential to open up access to government and promote transparency can also be hijacked by governments to crush dissent and deny human rights.10.I am here today at St Matthew‟s pre-school to come and meet the (26) staff and the children, to come and see how the Early Y ears Foundation Stage works in practice, to come and see what they are doing, and I‟ve had a great time. They have showed me around and I have been able to play in the sand pits, I have seen the (27) painting with the salad shaker and it‟s really good to see Early Y ears in practice.The Early Y ears Foundation Stage is a curriculum that (28) decides what young children should learn when they are in nursery, when they are three and four. It has had many good effects; it has driven up (29) standards and given parents confidence and quality. But what lots of small providers, voluntary and private sectors providers have said is that it‟s very (30) burdensome, and there is lots of bureaucracy and so what I want to see is whether or not we can get more quality but drive down those burdens of bureaucracy.I have asked Dame Claire Tickell to lead the (31) review and I know that she is very keen to hear the experiences of all sorts of different types of providers, whether or not they are (32) individual child minders, or private sector providers or big state nurseries. She wants to hear all of their experiences (33) and also parent‟s experiences as well as what works and what has been good for your child. And I have asked her as well to look at the evidence about what works best so that we can make sure that we narrow the gap between children who have come from a disadvantaged background and those from a wealthier background. (34) I want all children to be ready to learn when they get to school.This Government believes that the Early Y ears are really important in setting a child up for the future, in fact they are amongst the most important years of a child‟s life, that is, (35) the first two years can be more important than the next 20 years in terms of how well you will do, and that‟s why it‟s really important that we provide children who come from a more disadvantaged background with every opportunity to achieve.。

Yes it really was lost and finding it again was a 1_____ process that involved state of the art technology: how the location of the roads was 2_____ was very interesting. And I’ll return to it as soon as I gave you a little background information. The road was begun in 1817, a few years before Maine even became a state.

Michael Jordan? Julia Roberts? Many people (26)______ American culture is a collection of popular (27)_____ likethese.

But only 16 percent were put into their children’s savings for the extravagances such as holidays or new cars.The survey follows the findings from Research Bank ofAustralia that many Australians spent more than they earned in the past three years. (35)_______, Australians saved only 2.9 percent of their annual income.Test 8American society is not nap friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep (26)_______ at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There’s even a (27)______ against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or (28)_________ asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and (29)_______ eleven.”The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our (30)_______ toward napping,”says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University.Last year a national commission led by Dement (31)______ an “American sleep debt”which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was (32)______ about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing (33)______ accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the WhiteHouse.

We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase”also called “a secondary sleep gate”. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can (35)_______ and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We superstars of snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.

I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.Test 9Children are getting so fat, they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed recently.Today’s (26)_______ are already falling prey to (27)______ killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fatty fast-food (28)______ combined with sedentary lifestyles (29)_______ by televisions and computers couldmean kids will die (30)______ young.

This compares with only 32.6 inches in 1972. Women’s waists have grown from an average of 22 inches in 1920 to 24 inches in the 50s and 30 inches now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classes as (33)______ or obese——double the number in the mid-80s. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically (34)______ as obese. Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.The change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use (35)________ technology development. An averagely obese person’s lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.Test 10There’s new research on the hair color and cancer issue.

The (27)_____ word on this continuing concern comes from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which has (28)_______ that working regularly with hair (29)_______ in hair salons and barbershops probably increases the risk of cancer and that long term (30)______ in these establishments is “(31)_______causing cancer to humans.”However, the IARC, a World Health Organization (32)_______, reported that these is not enough evidence to conclude that (33)_____ personal use of hair coloring raises the risk of cancer. This new report, published in the April, 2008, issue of Lancet Oncology, is the first scientific word on the subject since 2005, when Spanish researchers reported that their review of 79 studies from 11 countries yielded no strong (34)______ of a link between hair dye and cancer risk. The only connection the Spanish team observed was the possibility of a slight increase in the risks of leukemia, but they concluded that the causal effect was too weak to be a major concern.In general, people discourage the use of hair dyes containing artificial coloring agents, which are as suspect in cosmetic products as they are in food. Hair dyes (35)_______ the head are absorbed through the scalp, where there’s very rich blood supply that may carry them throughout the body. It’s sure that the new IARC report won’t be the last word on this subject.Test 11People study their family history for different reasons. For some, genealogy is important to their (26)_______. Other people may want to confirm stories they heard about a family member. Or they may just want to learn more about the strange people in old family pictures.How exactly does someone start a genealogical(27)_______? Experts say you should start with yourself.(28)______your own history. Then, work back to your parents and grandparents, and ask your parents what they can remember about their parents and grandparents. You can often find a lot of information in family pictures, letters and other (29)_______. Some of these things may be hidden inside old books. Large libraries may have hundreds ofhelpful books on local history which (30)_____ useful information. Also, local governments usually keep (31)______ copies of birth, marriage and death records, which are often the most helpful materials. Useful information might also be found in local court and tax records. And local governments may have copies of (32)_____. These statements of final wishes often (33)______ details about a person’s life and possessions. Many people use the Internet to research their family history. But the information that people get from genealogy sites is often limited or (34)_____ because many websites may be operated by businesses and groups that are trying to sell products and services.People who want to (35)______ their roots say it is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, because it can help people learn more about history and better understand themselves and their family’s place in history as well.Test 12In January 1986, Basit and Amjad Alvi, wrote a piece of code to safeguard the latest version of their heart monitoring software from piracy. They called it Brain, and it was(26)______ a wheel clamp (固定夹) for PCs. Computers that ran their program, plus this entirely new bit of code, would stop working after a year, though they (27)______ provided three telephone numbers, against the day. If you were a legitimate (28)____, and could prove it, they’d unlock you.But in the way of all creative technologies, something unintended happened. The Alvi’s wheel clamp was soon copied by some computer hobbyists, who began to (29)____ it, concealed within various digital documents that people might be expected to want to open. Because almost all these booby-trapped files (30)____ on floppy disks, the virus spread at a pre-Internet snail’s pace.Still, it did cause a certain amount of low-grade (31)______, freezing computers across the world. The hobbyists did it because they could, or to see what would happen, or simply because they thought it was great. This proved (32)______ for the Alvi brothers, whose three telephone numbers were often included in the files, and eventually they had to cut all three lines. There were far too many angry callers, mainly from the United States and Britain. (33)______, the road to our present universe teeming with viruses was (34)_______, a quarter century ago,with the Alvi brothers’good (35)_____ of securing their intellectual property. And today, it won’t be a surprise to see a notice that you should keep yourself from being attacked by virus.Test 13There’s nothing like the instinctive roar of the crowd when thousands of people all sing, or shout together. But translating that unique feeling to an event that is (26)______ online is tricky. Now a new project at MIT’s Media Lab (27)____ give online gamers something to shout about.Roar works much like any other chat software, where users can write messages to (28)_____ gamers and are visible to all. Roar also allows users to group messages by “section”, which could be subject matter or (29)_____ region, whatever the users want.Each section can be thought of as the different parts of the same (30)____. They are not private and you can see the list of the most popular sections and how active they (31)____ are. What differentiates Roar from other chat services is that users can choose whether to chat their message or “shout” it.A chat goes to everyone in your section but expires and(32)____ from the screen. Shouts, on the other hand, last much longer and spread from section to section, just like a real chant in a football match. If enough people in your section like your shout, it will spread and become visible to other nearby sections; if it (33)_____ to get votes, it can be shared across the entire (34)_____. The software looks at which words are being shared as shouts at any one moment. The more words there are, the more active the crowd is being. This lets you see when the crowd is going crazy or when everyone is (35)______ silence and anticipation.Test 14For many singles, the New Year signifies a new beginning. It lands with the anticipation of the relationship they have always (26)____ but with the same limited understanding of how to attract it. Here are some tips for the singles to attract love into their life!As the New Year changes, you must change your (27)_____ and expectations on relationships. If you expect to be hurt or (28)______, it will happen every time. If you expect that you deserve to be treated with (29)______ andunconditional love, this will show up for you.Remove comes after the expectation. You are single because there is an (30)______ barrier that most likely is standing in your way of receiving love. In order to open your life up to love, it is important to (31)______ your belief systems and fears that push love away. A relationship coach is the perfect solution for helping you identify what that barrier is.You can never (32)_____ anything without the commitment to succeed, and attracting a healthy relationship is no different. Make a commitment today that you will do whatever it takes to attract love into your life. When committing to lose weight, most people hire a trainer who can help them identify behaviors that help them from their weight lost goals. Why not commit today to hire a certified (33)_____ & relationship coach to help you do the same thing in your love life?When love finally shows up at your door——and it will if you do the work——(34)______ it, move the barrier and commit to doing what it takes to get it. Just receive it with open arms while using wisdom to (35)______ that it is actually the real deal!Test 15Baby fat is something children are supposed to outgrow, not grow in to. The percentage of overweight children has more than tripled since 1980. Extra pounds and too big waistlines have serious (26) ______ for children, including self-esteem, social problems, and increased risk for chronic diseases.
