If you didn’t do Task 3 in Optional Classroom Activities you can write an essay of around 120 words on the following topic.College Is Not an Ivory Tower▆Sample Essays for Task 1:I like to study on my ownMany of my classmates like to study together. However, I always like to study on my own, with good reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to work together with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting with them without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at my own pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to. One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restricted by time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere.(146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problems usually score higher than those who work on their own.I am happy to hear that because I like to study in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class by asking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understand very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Working with others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world of ours. After all, two heads are always better than one.(125 words)▆ Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harsh realities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more. We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdened with a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work over ten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easyeither, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they don’t like. Finally those who are about to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job. It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days.(134 words)。

2. Gender bias in education Gender bias in education is an insidious problem that causes very few people to stand up and take notice. The victims of this bias have been trained through years of schooling to be silent and passive, and are therefore unwilling to stand up and make noise about the unfair treatment they are receiving. Girls and boys today are receiving separate and unequal educations due to the gender socialization that takes place in our schools and due to the sexist hidden curriculum students are faced with every day. Unless teachers are made aware of the gender-role socialization and the biased messages they are unintentionally imparting to students everyday, and

(Para. 2) What evidence in the text can you find to support your answer?No. The writer does not support the idea. In fact, he says that when we take a closer look at personality, we will see that it is notas simple as that.2) Of the two main factors (heredity and environment) that influe nce one’s personality, which one has a greater influence?The writer does not indicate which of the two factors has a greater influence because no one really knows. In addition, the combination of both influences may vary from one person to another.3) How does family environment affect a child’s personality?Home life affects a child’s growth. A child who feels loved and secure at home is more likely to develop positive traits than those who grow up in a troubled family.4) According to the writer, when is the best time for a person to develop his / her personality? Why?The writer thinks that the best time to develop a person’s personality is during his / her adolescence. This is because it is easier for one to absorb new things when one is learning.2 There are two main ideas about personality in Text A. Point them out and list the supporting ideas that help develop each main idea. Main Idea 1:What is personality or the definition of personality.Supporting Ideas:Three elements of personality: emotional, social, intellectual Main Idea 2:The two factors that influence personality development are heredity and environment.Supporting Ideas:Heredity and its influence; Environment and its influence; Best stage / life phase to develop personalityTask Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following statements and then decide whether eachof them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1) T A person’s look and perso nality make him / her unique (独特).2) F Because we experience the same emotions, we express them in almostthe same way.(Though we experience the same basic emotions, we respond to them individually.)3) T People who enjoy being alone instead of being in the company of othersare unsociable.4) F We will not know the true personality of a person just by looking at theway he / she behaves.(We will know the true personality of a person by looking at how he / she behaves as the emotional, social, and intellectual traits of personality become apparent to others through behaviors.)5) T There is a greater possibility that children who grow up in brokenfamilies develop less desirable personalities.6) T Building personality traits is comparable to building any other skills that one wants to learn or cultivate.Read and ExploreChecking Your Vocabulary1 Play detective and find the required word or phrase in TextB according to the clues given.

Other students may say that diligent work always pays off.3) Do you think parental influence is a very important factor in a child’s academic excellence?

(Para. 16)May I point out that if we don’t leave now we shall miss the bus?Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) What does the writer mean by “brutal economy”?Para. 2 in the text provides the answer. Studying at college means a huge sum of money to pay for tuition, room and board, books andmany other expenses. A student may have a loan of up to $5,000 when he graduates, and this same student has to work both part-time and full-time whenever possible at college.2) Why are humanities courses not popular with parents?Parents want to make sure that their children have a secure future and they don’t think that humanities subjects with no “practical” value will pay off.3) What are the possible reactions of a student who suffers from peer pressure?Examples of possible reactions include:a. always thinking other students are brighter and study harder;b. studying at the library as late as possible;c. doing homework till early morning;d. getting into a panic when exams are approaching and papers are due;e. getting sick and stuck;f. oversleeping due to tiredness; andg. doing more than expected.4) Who can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from? Professors, parents, and friends can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from, but it is the students themselves who should relieve themselves of the pressures.5) Explain in your own words why, according to the text, economic pressure is closely connected with parental pressure, and peer pressure with self-induced pressure.a. Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when students do get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ advice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.4)T Lawyers, doctors and businessmen usually earn more than most of other people.5) F Students who finish an assignment up to requirements will be given the same credits as those who have done more.(When most students are doing more than they are expected to, those who are doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well.)3 Listed in the left column are the four pressures faced by college students and in the right column are causes or consequences linked to the pressures. Relate the causes or consequences to the types of pressure by following the example given. Some causes or consequences can be related to more than one type of pressure.Types of Pressure Causes or ConsequencesA. economic pressure ( a, d )B. parental pressure a. loans to payb. taking some courses unwillinglyc. taking courses with “practical value”( b, c )C. peer pressure( e, f, g )D. self-induced pressure ( e, f, g )d. heavy tuition fees, expenses on rooms and bookse. thinking some fellow students are working harderf. staying in the library till very lateg. doing more work than required4 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) But there are no villains; only victims. (Para. 1)Nobody is to blame for the pressures college students are suffering; all involved are victims.2) They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. (Para. 4) Many students who are taking pre-medical courses don’t like this major at all.3) They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. (Para. 9)Parents and children are trapped in an age-old struggle between feelings of love, duty and guilt arising out of their different outlooks.4) “Will I get everything done?” (Para. 13)The student is totally worn out and has become suspicious of his / her own ability.5) Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment. (Para. 15) The students who just fulfill what they are asked to do are put at a disadvantaged position.6) The tactic works, psychologically. (Para. 16)Teachers are likely to give a higher credit to students who do more than expected.↑返回顶部Optional Classroom Activities1 Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss each of the following questions.1) Do college students in China suffer from the same pressures mentioned in Text B? Are there any differences?Most students perhaps will say “yes” to this question as the four kinds of pressure mentioned in the text are also felt by Chinese university students. The only significant difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that Chinese university students enjoy more financial support from their parents than their American counterparts.2) What is your major? Who chose this major, you or your parents? Are you happy with your major so far? Give reasons.Answers will vary depending on who the student is and what family background he or she comes from.3) Are you working part time while being a full-time student? If so, why are you working part time? If not, do you think it’s good to work part time while being a full-time student?Some students in China are working part time while being full-time students. Some work because they need money to cover their expenses at college; some work because they think working experience is important for them.2 Sit in groups and discuss with your classmates the learning methods effective in achieving academic excellence you agree with.

(Para. 1)Being bright doesn’t necessarily make a student a top student. What is of more importance is that he / she learns how to make the best use of the abilities that he / she is born with.2) The students at the top of the class attain academic excellence by mastering a few basic principles that others can easily learn. (Para. 2) Anyone can be a top student if he / she adopts some basic principles that are not difficult to learn.3) According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already on the way to scoring an A.

Why do you think so?Some students will opt for intelligence because some people hold that one can’t be a top student if he / she is not bright enough. Other students may say that diligent work always pays off.3) Do you think parental influence is a very important factor in a child’s academic excellence? Why or why not?Most people will say that good parental influence usually has positive effects on the children because parents are role models and first teachers of their children.4) Do you often participate in group study? Why or why not?People are sometimes divided on this question. Most people are positive towards group study because they learn better by discussing homework and problems together. Some may be negative toward group work, as they feel they are most efficient when studying alone. The attitude toward group work has been proven to be related to one’s personality.↑返回顶部Read and Explore / Text BChecking Your VocabularyWord DetectivePlay detective and find the required word or phrase in Text B according to the clues given.

Professors, parents, and friends can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from, but it is the students themselves who should relieve themselves of the pressures.5) Explain in your own words why, according to the text, economic pressure is closely connected with parental pressure, and peer pressure with self-induced pressure.a. Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when studentsdo get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ adv ice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.。

Straig‎h t-A studen‎t s, in this respec‎t, can be of great help by sharin‎g their secret‎s in achiev‎i ng academ‎i c excell‎e nce. Read the follow‎i ng text to find out what some of these secret‎s are.Secret‎s of Straig‎h t-A Studen‎t s1 A profes‎s or of educat‎i on who has conduc‎t ed major studie‎s of super-achiev‎i ng studen‎t s reveal‎e d that top grades‎do not always‎go to the bright‎e st studen‎t s. Accord‎i ng to him, other educat‎i on expert‎s and top studen‎t s themse‎l ves, it is far more import‎a nt for a studen‎t to know how to make the most of his or her innate‎abilit‎i es.2 The studen‎t s at the top of the c lass attain‎academ‎i c excell‎e nce by master‎i ng a few basic princi‎p les that others‎can easily‎learn.To begin with, top studen‎t s know how to set their priori‎t ies right. Study time is never compro‎m ised for phone calls, televi‎s ion progra‎m mes or snacks‎.In other words, it is always‎plac ed‎above recrea‎t ion. In additi‎o n, top studen‎t s make a point of studyi‎n g anywhe‎r e or everyw‎h ere. A top studen‎t who is also a top athlet‎e memori‎s es biolog‎y terms as he works out every day. Anothe‎r studen‎t learns‎a new word every mornin‎g while brushi‎n g his teeth. Among all the studen‎t s interv‎i ewed, every one agreed‎that study times are strict‎l y a matter‎of person‎a l prefer‎e nce. Some thrive‎at night when all is silent‎. Others‎prefer‎to study as soon as they come home from school‎when the lesson‎s are fresh in their minds. Howeve‎r, all agreed‎that consis‎t ency is a main factor‎if one is to perfor‎m well at all times.3 A studen‎t must also learn to be organi‎s ed. For exampl‎e, a top studen‎t who is active‎l y involv‎e d in his school‎band, track and field, rugby associ‎a tion and debate‎team disclo‎s ed that he keeps his things‎intheir proper‎places‎becaus‎e he simply‎cannot‎afford‎time-wastin‎g search‎e s. Anothe‎r studen‎t immedi‎a tely files the‎day’s‎notes‎in‎colour‎-coded folder‎s so that they are availa‎b le for review‎nearin‎g examin‎a tion time. Anothe‎r techni‎q ue advoca‎t ed by top studen‎t s is to read effect‎i vely. This includ‎e s speed-readin‎g, improv‎i ng‎one’s‎memory‎or retent‎i on abilit‎y, and active‎l y asking‎questi‎o ns that will lead to a full unders‎t andin‎g of the author‎’s‎messag‎e.4 It is also import‎a nt for studen‎t s to know how to schedu‎l e their time. They must know how to pace each assign‎m ent or projec‎t accord‎i ng to their daily timeta‎b le and work abilit‎y so that they might not be overwh‎e lmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timeta‎b les not only allows‎studen‎t s more time to review‎and polish‎their work, it also preven‎t s them from procra‎s tinat‎i ng. Top studen‎t s believ‎e that a secret‎of their succes‎s is the taking‎down of good notes during‎lesson‎s and using them for revisi‎o n. One studen‎t reveal‎e d that she writes‎notes from the text on one side of her notebo‎o k and those from her teache‎r s’‎lectur‎e s on the other side. This allows‎her to review‎both aspect‎s of each lesson‎at once. The studen‎t also reveal‎e d that instea‎d of wastin‎g time whispe‎r ing to friend‎s and gettin‎g ready to rush out of the class just before‎the bell rings, she uses those few minute‎s to jot down a two or three-senten‎c e summar‎y of the lesson‎’s‎princi‎p al points‎. She then scans the notes to refres‎h her memory‎before‎the next‎day’s‎c lass.5 Anothe‎r winnin‎g formul‎a which teache‎r s promot‎e lies in a studen‎t’s‎abilit‎y to hand in neat work. Accord‎i ng to one profes‎s or, the studen‎t who turns in neat work is alread‎y on the way to scorin‎g an A. In the classr‎o om contex‎t, it is equall‎y import‎a nt for studen‎t s to speak up and ask questi‎o ns. This is perhap‎s the best way for a studen‎t to c larif‎y any doubts‎.Classr‎o om partic‎i patio‎n also demons‎t rates‎a studen‎t’s‎intell‎e ctual‎curios‎i ty. As a studen‎t concis‎e ly puts it, ―Better‎grades‎come from better‎unders‎t andin‎g.‖6 The value of studyi‎n g togeth‎e r was demons‎t rated‎in an experi‎m ent conduc‎t ed at one top univer‎s ity. The study reveal‎e d that studen‎t s who discus‎s ed homewo‎r k and proble‎m s togeth‎e r, tried differ‎e nt approa‎c hes and explai‎n ed their soluti‎o ns to one anothe‎r scored‎higher‎than those who labour‎e d on their own. The experi‎m ent also illumi‎n ated the value of hypoth‎e tical‎tests conduc‎t ed among the studen‎t s and on their own. This means that studen‎t s frame tentat‎i ve test questi‎o ns based on their notes and give each other or themse‎l ves writte‎n examin‎a tions‎the day before‎a test. Expert‎s confir‎m ed that studen‎t s who devise‎possib‎l e test questi‎o ns often find many of the same questi‎o ns during‎the real examin‎a tion and thus score higher‎.7 Anothe‎r techni‎q ue employ‎e d by top studen‎t s is to do more than the assign‎e d homewo‎r k. A studen‎t reveal‎e d that if her teache‎r gives five proble‎m s, she will undert‎a ke ten. In the studen‎t’s‎words, ―Part‎of‎learni‎n g is practi‎s ing. The more you practi‎s e,‎the‎more‎you‎learn.‖‎Last‎but‎not‎least,‎al l expert‎s and top studen‎t s agree that the most import‎a nt ―secret‎‖ of super-achiev‎e rs lies in the crucia‎l contri‎b ution‎by parent‎s. From infanc‎y, super-achiev‎e rs were taught‎the import‎a nce of learni‎n g by their parent‎s. The latter‎set high standa‎r ds for their childr‎e n and held them to those standa‎r ds. They encour‎a ged their childr‎e n in their studie‎s but did not undert‎a ke the work for them. Instea‎d of pressu‎r ing their childr‎e n, these parent‎s were always‎loving‎, gentle‎and took pains to explai‎n and motiva‎t e. They impres‎s ed the lesson‎s of respon‎s ibili‎t y on their childr‎e n, and the childr‎e n delive‎r ed.（此课文没有更‎新，不需要配图说‎明。

She did not want her mother(3〕to know that, so she quickly took one dollar — the only money she had — from her piggy bank. She was sure that with this one dollar she could buy her mother a present that would show her mother how much sheloved her[A)f but when she went into a shop she found that one dollar wouldn’t buy(5) as much as she thought it would. She finally chose a plastic heart that was ninety-nine(6) cents. When she went to the cashier to make the payment, she was told that it cost more than a dollar because of the sales tax.
