      <description><![CDATA[<br/>　　我们总是处在决定和选择之中，决定一件事情是否该做，是否值得做；选择我们认为重要的，放弃我们认为不重要的。而这个过程往往是艰难的，痛苦的，我们会反复地衡量得与失，理性地分析对与错。也许只有当我们静心独处，仔细倾听内心的声音的时候，才能做出一个不后悔的选择。 <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Horror gripped the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the &quot;No Man’s Land&quot; between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;You can go,&quot; said the Lieutenant, &quot;but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.&quot; The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and brought him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. &quot;I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,&quot; he said. &quot;Your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded.&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;It was worth it, though, sir,&quot; the soldier said. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;How do you mean ‘worth it’?&quot; responded the Lieutenant. &quot;Your friend is dead!&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;Yes sir,&quot; the private answered. &quot;But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, ‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Many a time in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life. <br/>　　<br/>　　]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>　　Yes this may be surprising, I was only 13 years old that time. But, don’t know how or why it happened to me so early. I fell deeply in love with a guy, who I used to think was annoying 2 months ago. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　It was 1997, in Chittagong, Bang- ladesh, me and my family have just moved to a new apartment in a new area. So, after few weeks have passed, I started going back to school, since it was during Ramadan we moved. Well, I made some new friends in the neighborhood. This girl who was always hanging out with, her name was Ivy. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　One day when I was going to school, I bumped into Ivy on the way out of my building, and she was standing next to this guy, he lived in the building right beside mine. He said “Hi” to me, and we just asked each other “how are you” and blah blah, then I had to leave. But I noticed that guy was looking at me. It was a different kind of look, look with love in his eyes. Few days later, I noticed whenever I go to school and come back from school, he is standing in his balcony, and smiling at me. If he is not around, and one of his friends see me, they start to yell out his name. Oh yeah, by the way, his name was Mamun. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　So, I was very annoyed by those things. And I even told Ivy to tell Mamun to stop these foolishness. After my exams were over, I had a break. So I used to go to the roof and read books to spend my time. Mamun used to come to their roof also and both roofs where so close to each other that you can just jump from one to another. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Once I was reading a book, and I noticed Mamun come to their roof and he looked at me, and smiled. OH MY GOD! I don’t know what happened to me. That sweet smile just took me away. I smiled back at him, for the first time. I could never forget that moment. We used to smile at each other whenever we saw each other, but never had a chat. I was sure that he liked me a lot, because, anytime he would see me on the roof from his balcony, he came up to the roof right away. I fell in love with him very deeply. I was surprised that I did. The feelings I had was so beautiful and made me so happy. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Mamun did come to my roof one day to talk to me but I wanted him to go away. I didn’t want any one to see us talking. As you know, in Bangladesh rumors go around so fast. When we talked, I saw deep love in his eyes. I always smiled at him; I didn’t talk to him much. Still, life was going on so wonderfully. Mamun never told me he loved me. I thought that was because, I was 5/6 years younger than him. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Very soon, I found out that me and my family are leaving Bang- ladesh and coming to Canada. I was devas- tated. I cried all night but there was nothing to do. When Mamun found out, he asked me on the roof, if it was true. When I said yes, he asked how long will I be in Canada. The answer was maybe forever, we were going to settle in Canada. He looked depressed, all he said was “Oh”, then I told him out flight date. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　The next month, it was Ramadan again. Mamun came to say good bye to me on the roof, he was leaving to spend his Eid with his family. That day, I was so sad, I felt like I lost something very important in my life. We said goodbye to each other, he said he thinks I am such a sweet girl, he hopes I have a great life in Canada. Oh my god, I couldn’t hold myself, I think my eyes became watery. I didn’t want him to see that I was crying. I said “you too” and tried to smile and left the roof right away. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　That was the last day I ever saw my first love. Now 4 years later, here I am in CANADA. I have guy in my life now, whom I am deeply love with after Mamun. I never lose him. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　I am ... over Mamun now. Everytime I remember those days, looking at each other on the roof, talking, I feel really down. I wonder where he is now, if we will even meet again... I can never forget my first love. <br/>　　<br/>　　]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>　　&quot;Come in,&quot; God said to me, &quot;so, you would like to interview Me?&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;If you have the time,&quot; I said. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　He smiled through His beard and said: &quot;My time is called eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;None that are new to you. What’s the one thing that surprises you most about mankind?&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　He answered: &quot;That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they never had never lived...&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　His hands took mine and we were silent. After a long period, I said, &quot;May I ask you another question?&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　He replied with a smile. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;As a Father, what would you ask your children to do for the new year?&quot; <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　&quot;To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that it takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. There will be others better or worse than they are. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that they should control their attitudes, otherwise their attitudes will control them. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to show their feelings. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that money can buy everything but happiness. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that while at times they may be entitled to be upset, that does not give them the right to upset those around them. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that great dreams do not require great wings, but a landing gear to achieve. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that true friends are scarce, he/she who has found one has found a true treasure. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that they are masters of what they keep to themselves and slaves of what they say. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that they shall reap what they plant; if they plant gossip they will harvest intrigues, if they plant love they will harvest happiness. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that true happiness is not to achieve their goals but to learn to be satisfied with what they already achieved. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that happiness is a decision. They decide to be happy with what they are and have, or die from envy and jealousy of what they lack. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that those who are honest with themselves without considering the consequences go far in life. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that even though they may think they have nothing to give, when a friend cries with them, they find the strength to appease the pain. <br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　To learn that by trying to hold on to love ones, they very quickly push them away; and by letting go of those they love, they will be side by side forever. <br/>　　<br/>　　]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>以下是本人在背英语四级单词的时候，总结出来的三个小窍门，经过亲身体验觉得非常不错现向大家推荐，各位网友朋友们不妨自己试一试： <BR><BR><BR>1.背单词要背得好，要背得快，最基本的原则是脑子不断地想单词，让单词不断地从脑子里过，看书看10遍，还不如脑子过一遍。要做到单词在脑子里过的次数比在书本上过的次数多得多，要做到完全抛开书本，不依赖书本，不拿书的时候也在想单词、背单词。要尽量在单词被忘记之前在脑子里过一遍，这样，它留给你的印象要深得多，就算以后忘记，也很容易记起来。 <BR><BR><BR>2.背单词时还要注意在单词之间建立联系。当然，刚开始时可能能建立的联系很少，但要注意培养这种意识，争取一串串地背单词，看见一个，就能想起一串。比如，同义的单词一块儿记，反义的、形似的、分类的、词根的，背单词一段时间之后，就应该看到该单词，想一想以前学过什么同义的，如果只有印象而想不起来，最好在一个笔记本上记一笔，下次碰到该单词时，特别注意。比如，背单词一段时间后，应该问自己：我一共学了多少关于衣服的词？如果你只记得中文意思，想不起英文，下次就要特别注意了。或者你看到holograph的时候是否能想起homograph? 虽然有些书给你整理了一些联系，可我觉得自己总结的才会印象最深。 <BR><BR><BR>这样，单词之间建立联系后，不拿书本的时候你也能利用这些联系不断地想单词，当某一个单词记不起来时，就要注意了。不妨看后面的单词时，就不断地想前面学过的单词中有哪些类似的，或意思相反的，把有联系的单词的页数写在单词旁，每当看到这个单词时，总想起和它有关的单词，想不起时再根据页数翻看。如果有印象而想不起来，就在笔记本上记一笔，下次补上。 <BR><BR><BR>3.背单词时不要在一个单词上花的时间太多，根本不用超过一分钟，像扫描般一掠而过。只是重复的次数要多，特别在脑子里重复的次数要比在书本上重复的次数多得多。其他方法还有听录音带，背单词软件等等。不时翻一翻别的单词书也挺有用，因为有新鲜感。<BR>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>在刚刚结束的最新一期雅思考试中，不少考生深深感觉到雅思大考当中有两只“拦路虎”——写作与口语。如何能在这两个关键环节取得高分，不仅是雅思考试取得高分的关键，也是将来留学他乡是否能真正融入英语国家的关键。结合最新一起雅思考试考点，资深讲师给广大考生作出最新最权威的指导。 <BR><BR><BR>写作高分秘笈 <BR><BR><BR>换位思考　多谈“权利” <BR><BR><BR>雅思的文化内涵的题目是非常广。最新一期的雅思考试写作题目，主题与“囚犯”有关。“如果用中国人的思维和词库去写这个题目，要拿高分不是容易的事情，中西方的文化内涵有区别，影响考生对这个主题的思考。”而最新的雅思考试A类小作文也有类似情况：“三个国家65岁以上的老年人的比例变化。” <BR><BR>考生普遍认为，无论是“囚犯”主题还是“老年人”主题都非常难写好。雅思考试写作题目千变万化，有没有什么是考试当中的“万金油”？比如说“囚犯”和“老年人”的写作主题，什么写作思维可以“套”用呢？对比发现，中国学生一般的思维是想到很多技术问题，但是如果以西方人的思路，马上会想到一个非常重要的词汇：权利。 <BR><BR><BR>很多雅思写作题目不得不涉及“权利”的问题。西方国家非常强调什么因素？雅思写作考试当中，常常会不期而然地涉及几类大主题，第一类就是上述所说的“权利”，第二类是就是“更新”，包括观念的更新、制度的更新、生活方式的更新，等等。新东方雅思培训有一个最大的特点，就是在这种思路下，保持对考试辅导知识与技巧的最快更新。 <BR><BR><BR>在大学当中，女性的比例是否要完全跟男性比例相等呢？这类题目马上应该联想到一个词汇，就是“歧视女性”。沿着这个思路，在写作中谈“男女平等”的问题是可以的。在研究西方人的考试思维中发现，中国考生最忌用“四、六级”的思维去考雅思。雅思有自己的一套体系，雅思的词汇背诵很重要。而在写作当中，文化观念的差别，会导致考试分数的差别。比如，要了解17世纪的《圣经》，还会学到培根论谈“美、爱、优雅”，要学的就是这样的东西，学习西方人理解、认同、接受的“温和”的思维方法。 <BR><BR><BR>最后请大家记住三点，第一，要参照不同的考试文化，不可以简单用一个考试套用另一个考试；第二，要注意在写作中体现西方人的习惯思维；第三点写文章要“温和”。 <BR><BR><BR>口语高分秘笈 <BR><BR><BR>带点口音　把话说“酷” <BR><BR><BR>一些在大学四、六级英语考试中得分很高，词库量非常丰富的学生，他们去考雅思口语只考了4-5分。雅思最高分是9分，这个分数属于中下得分，这究竟为什么呢？ <BR><BR><BR>首先，雅思口语和四、六级英语考试方式是不一样的。雅思口语考试，考生必须进入一个真实的口语环境。在日常口语中，很多英文词汇书上有的，但是不一定是“说”出来用的。在雅思口语考试中，考生观念首先要改变的，是思维模式。脑袋不要还是停留在书本当中，要把英文放在生活里面了。所以，考生必须要熟背大量的口语常用单词，练美国口音和英国口音，尽量把话说得非常“酷”。考生要时刻记住，学语言是为了什么？就是为了表达情感，无论是“喜怒”还是“哀乐”。雅思口语考试就是去检验你是否能在外国有生活和工作的能力，是否能够真正融入英语国家的生活。 <BR><BR><BR>同时，考生如果要提高口语，关键还要理解西方人的思维。 <BR><BR>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>文章分为开头的起始段、中间的核心段和结尾的结束段，最常见是三个段落，也有四个段落和两个段落，但并不多见。文章最终的具体模样变化极大，但结构却较为固定。开头和结尾中间的核心部分大多时候是一个段落，也有的时候是两个段落。开头和结尾有可能与中间的核心部分融为一段，但前者的可能并不大，更不存在两者都融合的情形。开头总是引入主题的段落，所以不管是书信还是图表关系都不大(主要只影响第一个段落)，只要符合各自的情形即可。 <BR><BR><BR>四、六级写作(主要讲中间核心段落)最常见的有三种情况。第一种情况就是对立观点(包括选择子类)的情况。这种情况主要有(AB——I——C)、(A——B——I)和(AB——AB——I)的写法(其中A和B表示对立的观点，I表示我，C表示结论。具体分析参见贡献写作心得之一)，其中每个文章都有开篇句，放在第一段的开头。这里若只有一句话，单独成段就不大可能。若有两句话或以上，就可单独成段，但这种情形并不多。 <BR><BR><BR>第二种情形是事物性质的情形(包括利弊子类)。开头一般单独成段。中间根据要求，有时利与弊都写，有时只写优点，有时只写问题或弊病。 <BR><BR><BR>第三种情形是提出问题——分析原因——提出解决办法的情形。这种情况的混合模板最多。注意根据具体情况第二段有可能略去，第三段可以非常简略。 <BR><BR><BR>上述包含了大部分的情形，但还不完全。让我们在纵向分析以后，来进行一下横向的分析。 <BR><BR><BR>开头：引入主题 <BR><BR><BR>中间A： <BR><BR><BR>1)对立观点 <BR><BR><BR>2)利弊、优点或问题 <BR><BR><BR>3)分析原因(有时是分析必要性) <BR><BR><BR>中间B： <BR><BR><BR>1)自己的看法或做法(想想整体——个体的情形) <BR><BR><BR>2)解决办法(或趋势展望) <BR><BR><BR>结尾：结论 <BR><BR><BR>中间核心的部分B是可能没有的，或者用很简洁的话与结尾融在一起。也可能没有A有B，这种可能性很小。这样分析以后，绝大多数文章就包含进来了。但大家注意，这种模式没有覆盖纯粹的记叙文和描写文——这两种文章的记叙和描写的部分是没有模板的，只有靠大家分别依据时间和空间的线索去发挥了。 <BR><BR><BR>在这里我们举几个比较难的例子，先谈谈涉及自己(整体——个体)的情形： <BR><BR><BR>My View on the Negative Effects of Some Advertisements <BR><BR><BR>1. 现在有些不良的商业广告 <BR><BR><BR>2. 这些广告的副作用和危害性 <BR><BR><BR>3. 我对这些广告的态度 <BR><BR><BR>这是95年1月六级真题。写成三段。起始段可写成两句话，许多不良广告——危害巨大，注意这两句话可以合并成一句。第二段可以从三方面分析危害，首句要写好——其危害可以总结如下。第三段写态度，因为次段已写了危害，这段应该写解决办法。因为这篇文章有两个重要模块(即第二、第三段)，可以写得干净利索，只分两个方面。建议段内写成四句话，即总分总的结构，如下： <BR><BR><BR>In my mind, the government and the citizens should join hands to put an end to these false advertisements. On the one hand, the government should punish the advertisers severely lest they harm the customers again. On the other hand, common citizens should report such harmful advertisements as soon as possible. Only by the joint efforts of the government and the common people can we do away with false advertisements. <BR><BR><BR>首句中in my mind这样的词组或句型不可少，扣提纲中的第三点和标题开头。次句和第三句力求平行、工整。最后一句采用only引起倒装句，效果强烈，此段中的呼应(coherence)达到极点，最后文章以false advertisements结尾来扣标题中心词。 <BR><BR><BR>Positive and Negative Aspects of Sports (1993.1) <BR><BR><BR>1. 体育运动的好处 <BR><BR><BR>2. 体育运动可能带来的副作用 <BR><BR><BR>3. 我参加体育运动的体会 <BR><BR><BR>The Two-Day Weekend (1996.1) <BR><BR><BR>1. 双休日给大学生带来的好处 <BR><BR><BR>2. 双休日可能给大学生带来的问题 <BR><BR><BR>3. 我应当怎样过好双休日 <BR><BR><BR>这两篇文章要特别注意写好第三点，把自己的独到之处写出来。 <BR><BR>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>大学四、六级考试中有一种出题原则叫“形相近意相远”题出题原则，言下之意就是把两个或两个以上长得及其相似的单词放在一起让考生去辨认。这些单词词形虽然相近，但是意思却大相径庭，很多考生在考试中那种紧张的状态之下很难准确地讲正确的单词识别出来。这种出题原则，目的并不是为了要“刁难”大家，目的就是要考察同学们对单词基本功掌握的扎实程度。为了便于同学们复习，我把四、六级考试中常考的一些“形相近意相远”的单词总结出来，发布在这里，供大家参考。也欢迎大家及时提供一些新的词汇。 <BR><BR><BR>abroad adv.到国外 aboard adv./prep.上(船，飞机) <BR><BR><BR>adapt v.适应;编辑 adopt v.收养；采纳 adept a.娴熟的 <BR><BR><BR>affect v.影响, 假装 effect n.结果, 影响 <BR><BR><BR>allusion n.暗示 illusion n.幻觉 delusion n.错觉 elusion n.逃避 <BR><BR><BR>altar n.祭坛 alter v.改变 <BR><BR><BR>amend v.改正, 修正 emend n.校正 <BR><BR><BR>amoral a.与道德无关的 unmoral adj.与immoral 同义 不道德的 <BR><BR><BR>angel n.天使 angle n.角(度) <BR><BR><BR>assent v.同意 ascent n.上升 accent n.口音 <BR><BR><BR>assure v.保证 ensure v.使确定 insure n.保险 <BR><BR><BR>aural adj.耳的 oral adj.口头的 <BR><BR><BR>baron n.男爵 barren adj.贫瘠的,不毛之地的 barn n.古仓 <BR><BR><BR>beam n.梁；光束 bean n.豆 been v. have 过去式 <BR><BR><BR>champion n.冠军 champagne n.香槟酒 campaign n.战役 <BR><BR><BR>chicken n.鸡 kitchen n.厨房 <BR><BR><BR>chore n.家务活 chord n.和弦 cord n.细绳 <BR><BR><BR>cite v.引用 site n.场所 sight n.视觉 <BR><BR><BR>clash n.(金属的)幢击声；冲突 crash v.碰幢，坠落 crush v.压坏 <BR><BR><BR>commerce n.商业 commence v.开始 <BR><BR><BR>compliment n.赞美 complement n.附加物 <BR><BR><BR>confirm v.确认 conform v.使顺从 <BR><BR><BR>contact v./n.接触 contract n.合同 contrast v./n.对照 <BR><BR><BR>contend v.奋斗, 斗争 content n.内容adj.满足的 <BR><BR><BR>context n.上下文 contest n./v.竞争, 比赛 <BR><BR><BR>continual adj.断断续续的 continuous adj.连续不断的 <BR><BR><BR>costume n.服装 custom n.习惯 <BR><BR><BR>council n.议会 counsel v./n.忠告 consul n.领事 <BR><BR><BR>crow n.乌鸦 crown n.王冠 clown n.小丑 cow n.牛 <BR><BR><BR>dairy n.牛奶厂 diary n.日记 <BR><BR><BR>decent adj.正经的 descent n.下降；血统，祖籍 descend v. 向下 <BR><BR><BR>dessert n.甜食 desert n.沙漠v.放弃 dissert v.写论文 <BR><BR><BR>dose n.一剂药 doze v.打盹 <BR><BR><BR>drawn v. draw的过去分词 drown v.溺水 <BR><BR><BR>drought n.天旱 draught n.通风, 拖拉 draughts n.(英)国际跳棋 <BR><BR><BR>emigrant n.移民到国外 immigrant n.从某国来的移民 <BR><BR><BR>except v.除外 expect v.期望 accept v.接受 <BR><BR><BR>excerpt n.摘录，节录 exempt v.免除 <BR><BR><BR>excess n. 超过 exceed v.超过 excel v.擅长 <BR><BR><BR>expand v.扩张 expend v.花费 extend v.延长 <BR><BR><BR>expect v.期望 respect v.尊敬 aspect n.方面 <BR><BR><BR>inspect v.视察 suspect v.怀疑 <BR><BR><BR>extensive adj.广泛的 intensive adj.深刻的 <BR><BR><BR>floor n.地板 flour n.面粉 <BR><BR><BR>glide v.滑翔 slide v.使滑行 slip v.跌落 <BR><BR><BR>hotel n.旅店 hostel n.青年旅社 <BR><BR><BR>immoral n.不道德的 immortal n.不朽的 <BR><BR><BR>implicit adj.含蓄的 explicit adj.明白的 <BR><BR><BR>incident n.事件 accident n.意外 <BR><BR><BR>inspiration n.灵感 aspiration n.渴望 <BR><BR><BR>later adv.后来 latter n.后者 latest adj.最近的,最新的 lately adv. 最近 <BR><BR><BR>latitude n.纬度 altitude n.高度 gratitude n.感激 <BR><BR><BR>lone adj.孤独的 alone adj.单独的 lonely adj.寂寞的 <BR><BR><BR>loose adj.松的 lose v.丢失 loss n.损失 lost v. lose过去式 <BR><BR><BR>march n.三月, 前进 match n.比赛 <BR><BR><BR>monkey n.猴子 donkey n.驴 <BR><BR><BR>mortal adj.致命的 metal n.金属 mental adj.神经的 <BR><BR><BR>medal n.勋章 model n.模特 meddle v.干涉；玩弄 <BR><BR><BR>pat v./n.轻拍 tap v.轻打 slap v.(用掌)击；拍 rap v.敲，打 <BR><BR><BR>patent n.专利 potent adj.有力的 potential adj.潜在的 <BR><BR><BR>police n.警察 policy n.政策 politics n.政治 <BR><BR><BR>pray v.祈祷 prey n.猎物 <BR><BR><BR>precede v.领先 proceed v.进行，继续 <BR><BR><BR>principal n.校长adj.主要的 principle n.原则 <BR><BR><BR>prospect n.前景 perspective n.透视法 <BR><BR><BR>protest n./v.抗议 protect v.保护 <BR><BR><BR>purpose n.目的 suppose v.假设 propose v.建议 <BR><BR><BR>quite adv.相当 十分 quiet adj.安静的；平静的；n.安静，寂静 <BR><BR><BR>require v.需要 inquire v.询问 enquire v.询问 acquire v.获得 <BR><BR><BR>revenge v.报仇 avenge v.为...报仇 <BR><BR><BR>scare v./n.惊吓 scarce adj.缺乏的 <BR><BR><BR>stationery n.文具 stationary adj.固定的 <BR><BR><BR>steal v.偷 steel n.钢 <BR><BR><BR>story n.故事 storey n.楼层 store n.商店 <BR><BR><BR>strike v.打 stick v.坚持 strict adj.严格的 <BR><BR><BR>strive v.努力 stride v.大步走 <BR><BR><BR>sweet adj.甜的 sweat n.汗水 <BR><BR><BR>through prep.通过 thorough adj.彻底的 <BR><BR><BR>though conj.尽管 thought v.think 过去分词 <BR><BR><BR>wonder v./n.惊讶，惊奇 wander v.漫游，闲逛；走神，精神恍惚 <BR><BR>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[55.2%人认为四六级考试诚信问题非常严重]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>身份证、准考证，还要一份签字的《诚信考试承诺书》，考生才能进场参加考试，否则“取消考试资格”。这是2007年12月的四六级考试期间，北京几所高校的强硬规定。 <BR><BR><BR>考试当天，一名北京大学的大四学生忘了带“承诺书”，被监考人员拦在考场外，最终没能入场考试。然而，考试结束不久，记者了解到，仍有不少枪手成功地拿到了佣金。事实证明，《诚信考试承诺书》一纸协议难敌作弊市场的隐性需求。 <BR><BR><BR>上周，中国青年报社会调查中心和腾讯网联合实施的在线调查(有2106名参加者)显示，71.5%的人认为《诚信考试承诺书》“基本上形同虚设”。88.8%的人认为这一协议已然“没有必要，诚信绝不是简单地签个保证书就能达成的”。 <BR><BR><BR>从2004年开始，教育部规定，在一些国家统一考试中，要求考生考前阅读《诚信考试承诺书》并签字认可。大部分考生在四 六级 考试前都签署了“承诺书”。但就在当年，出现了大面积泄题舞弊事件，首次出现利用互联网贩卖试题答案的团伙犯罪案件，涉及全国11个省市数百名考生。 <BR><BR><BR>半数以上公众认为考试诚信问题已经非常严重 <BR><BR><BR>作弊手段不断刷新，作弊人员堪称专业，作弊规模向集团化、专业化的方向发展。这是全国各大统一考试共同面临的难题。调查显示，80.8%的人认为四六级诚信问题“比较严重”，其中认为“非常严重”占到了55.2%。 <BR><BR><BR>“把准考证的膜揭掉，换上自己的照片，用胡萝卜章沾上印泥盖个章，再去复印店里压个膜。一个新准考证就做好了。” <BR><BR><BR>“现场对身份证也不怕。赶在考前五分钟出去上厕所，回来就是另外一个人。上百人的考场，监考老师根本看不出来。”这是某高校研一学生小吕的替考“经验”。 <BR><BR><BR>小吕替考的原因很简单———“仗义”。“不帮忙就是不仗义。我也不收钱，请吃顿饭就行。”但对于大部分“枪手”来说，替考可是一个来钱的行当。2005年的行情是六级1200元，四级500元。“价格还可以商量，替考双方都是学生，中间牵线的一般也是学生。” <BR><BR><BR>比起如今“专业”的四六级作弊大军，这些“校园枪手”只能算是“散兵游勇”。 <BR><BR><BR>调查显示，32.4%的人认为，作弊技术先进，成功率较高是四六级考试作弊泛滥的原因之一。 <BR><BR><BR>在一个号称“专业的诚信助考团队”的网站上，各种助考 费用 明码标价。2007年12月，四级500元，六级700元，比同年6月分别涨了100元。网站上特意说明：“我们答案的准确率可靠，价格合理，欢迎各位新老客户捧场，有必要我们可以提供相关证据以作证实！” <BR><BR><BR>据介绍，这个网站的主要“助考”工具是一种“反屏蔽无线助考设备”，由发射机、接收机、耳机组成。考试时，由另一个人在场外报答案给考场内的人。“接收机放在口袋里，耳机放在耳朵里面，就算打着手电筒也找不到。” <BR><BR><BR>“我们答案的准确率一般达八成以上，通常情况下在开考后三四十分钟答案就出来了。比如说上次，也就是2006年12月的英语四级考试答案，我们的作文题及范文在考前15分钟就出来了。”这个“诚信助考团队”还作出承诺，“我们会保证答案的准确率，如果答案不准确，我们会负责全额退款。” <BR><BR>做枪手风险小，却收益高 <BR><BR><BR>一位足球解说员曾说过：“在球场上，好孩子变坏是因为坏孩子得不到惩罚。”考试作弊行为也越来越贴近这一逻辑。调查显示，23.4%的人认为，现在针对作弊行为的惩罚力度不大，没有威慑力。23.2%的人把作弊归因于“监考不严，让人有机可乘”。 <BR><BR><BR>“做枪手是没风险的。反正在学校，就算逮着，多半是让本人自己来考，最严重就是考试作废，枪手没什么损失。”第一次做“枪手”的时候，小吕很紧张。后来他发现这完全是“心理素质”的问题。 <BR><BR><BR>有一次是班上的的辅导员来监考，看到他的准考证上写着另一个人的名字，拿起来看了一会儿，又“啪”地放回来，只说了一句，“好好考。” <BR><BR><BR>据小吕分析，因为每学期学生都要给老师打分，所以老师也要和同学搞好关系，不能太严。其他同学一般也不会管，作弊并不会触及到他们的利益。因为抄是抄不出好成绩的，作弊的人不会影响他们评奖学金。 <BR><BR><BR>2005年，教育部公布了大学 英语 四六级考试改革试行方案，限制社会考生报名，逐步将考生范围限制在校内，突出考试为教学服务的功能。 <BR><BR><BR>但一名北京大学宣传部工作人员说，四六级仍然是一种社会性考试，学校只是承办方，提供场所和监考人员。“学生作弊可以按照校规惩处，但是社会人员作弊就只能按照国家统一规定来惩罚。可是，国家统一规定的惩罚措施是什么，我们不太清楚，也没资格实施惩罚措施。” <BR><BR><BR>目前，对作弊者的处罚仅限于行政措施。对替考者只能以伪造证件的名义予以处罚。而对其他作弊行为的处罚，更是无法可依。有媒体 报道 ，2007年7月英语四六级考试前夕，公安机关端掉一个制售隐形耳机等作弊工具的窝点，可民警把《治安 管理 处罚法》和《刑法》翻了个遍，对于“制销考试专用作弊工具”的问题，也没有找到明确的处罚规定。“我们只好对他进行 教育 ，暂扣作弊工具，把他放了。” <BR><BR><BR>对于在考试中泄露题目和答案的行为，按照“国家教育考试处罚办法”，最高处罚是取消成绩、警告或开除。考卷启封后就不算作绝密文件，无法按《保密法》追究刑事责任。 <BR><BR><BR>一些助考网站公开写道：“我国刑法目前只把出售考前答案的视为泄露国家秘密罪，而考中答案还没有具体的规定，所以还构不成犯罪。如果出了事，最多也就拘留几天。” <BR><BR>考试诚信不能单靠自律，还要靠硬约束 <BR><BR><BR>高收益和低风险，让四六级作弊现象层出不穷。有人指出，缺乏相适用的法律规范，没有信用评级制度，也是造成作弊猖狂的原因。在现实面前，一纸诚信承诺书，成了不少网友眼中的“噱头”。 <BR><BR><BR>事实上要签《诚信考试承诺书》的考试并不只是四六级，根据 教育 部的规定，国家的一些教育统一考试，包括高考(Q吧)、自考、研究生(Q吧) 考试等，都要求考生在考试前阅读并签字认可承诺书。 <BR><BR><BR>但在这些考试中，承诺书同样都是“一纸空文”。来自北京化工 大学 的考生孙同学说：“直接点‘接受''就行了，我根本就没看上面写的是什么。”孙同学表示，在网上注册ID或申请 电子 邮箱时经常见到各种协议，只要一路“确定”、“接受”就可以了。“也只有接受啊，不然就无法报名。” <BR><BR><BR>即使签订了“承诺书”，作弊事件仍然不可避免。2007年，河南郸城、云南宣威、安徽砀山等地发生了多起高考集体舞弊案。事实证明，依靠自律来解决考试诚信问题的做法显得过于理想化了。 <BR><BR><BR>调查中，36.1%的人承认，“大学的很多考试都有人作弊，作弊已成习惯”。数据表明，这种陋习正在大学生群体中愈演愈烈。自称“经常作弊”的人占29.2%，“偶尔作弊”的占26.0%，只有16.8%的人表示“从不作弊”。一些人也承认，不作弊不是不愿做，而是不敢做。北京大学大四学生小邵说，“发现作弊，这门课就不让考了。如果是这样也许还敢试一试。但是现在风险太大了，一旦发现作弊就取消学位，大学就白上了。”她觉得，要防止作弊关键还是处罚措施。 <BR><BR><BR>但是，“大家都在抄，被抓的是极少数。”小吕的学校每年都会在门口张贴公告，“某某同学因什么考试作弊，给予警告处分。”他说：“被抓的一般都是太嚣张的，大张旗鼓把书往桌上一摆，老师走过来头也不抬，这不是公然藐视老师吗？老师气不过，当然要抓你。其他人只会吸取教训，更小心地作弊，谈不上什么杀鸡儆猴。” <BR><BR><BR>如何建立起一套有效的诚信制度？调查显示，最受公众认可的是“从小进行诚信教育，靠父母言传身教(60.2%)”、“合理的奖惩措施，应该有比《诚信承诺书》更有效的方式(45.2%)”、“每个人建立诚信档案，不良记录直接影响升学和就业(43.6%)”、“健全法律法规，只有法律才是硬约束(35.4%)”。 <BR><BR><BR>有网友说，能不能来点实实在在的管理措施？比如建立个人诚信档案，和银行、司法等部门的记录联网，将所有污点一并载入，如果失去诚信，将来贷款、找工作都面临危机。只有这样才能培养起国人的诚信观，看看谁还有胆子拿自己一生的名誉开玩笑？ <BR><BR><BR>在教育部新近举行的2008年工作要点发布会上，新闻发言人透露，我国的《考试法》正在拟定中，很快将提交全国人大通过。 <BR><BR><BR>有关人士也指出，《考试法》的出台将缓解考试诚信危机。考试作弊最大的危害莫过于降低社会的诚信度，加剧社会的信用危机。通过立法和司法的手段治理考试舞弊现象，可以在一定程度上缓解社会信用危机，重塑公平竞争、诚实信用的考场新形象，让每个人都心服口服地走出考场。(黄冲) <BR><BR>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes<BR>万税，万税，万万税     <BR><BR>     Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the "death" market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.<BR>     Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.<BR>     Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies from person to person. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the percentage of the tax (14 to 70 percent) increases as a person's income increases. With the high cost of taxes, people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.<BR>     The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which you buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty-five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent is that state, when the cost of the cigarettes is twenty-seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues. They state tax laws are diverse and confusing.<BR>     The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds for education, police and fire departments, public words and municipal buildings.<BR>     Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are wording one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax dollars in the wrong way. They way that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues, they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.<BR>      <BR><BR>     美国人常说凡是一个人一生中有两件事是肯定的：一是必有一死，一是必须纳税。虽然美国人并没有垄断了世界"死亡殡葬业"的市场，但是美国确以最苛重的赋税在世界上独占鳌头。<BR>     税就是人民为了支持政府工作所交纳的钱。在美国大体上有三级政府：联邦政府、州政府和市政府。因此，征税也有三种。<BR>     凡是年薪收在两三千美元以上的人，必须按年薪的一定百分比向联邦政府纳税。这百分比的多少，人与人是不同的。这取决于年薪大小。联邦政府征收累进所得税，也就是说，随着个人收的增长，征税的百分比率（百分之十到百分之七十）也在增长。由于征税数额高，在联邦政府收税日，即在四月十五日，那人们心情都不愉快。<BR>     第二级征税的机构是州政府：纽约州，加里福尼亚州，北达科他州或另外的四十七个州。有些州征收所得税，这跟联邦政府征的所得税类似。还有些州征收销售税，这按你在该州所购买的任何一件物品的价格的一定的百分比率来征收。例如，某人想买25美分一包的纸烟，如果该州的销售税征收率是物价的百分之八，那么这包纸烟的实价就是27美分，这个数字里面就包括了销售税。有些州除了征收所得税，还要加征销售税，以提高州政府的每年的收入。各州的销售税法显然是很不相同的，也很混乱。<BR>     第三级征税的机构是市政府。市政府征收的有两种税：财产税（凡拥有房产的人必须交纳财产税）和消费税（这是对市内行驰的小汽车征的税）。这些税收资金用于教育、警察、消防等部门及公共设施和市政建设。<BR>     由于美国人都要交纳数额很高的各种税款，所以他们都常常认为每周必须有一天资是为了纳税去工作。人们老是抱怨这些税收。他们经常抗议说，政府对他们交纳的税金使用不当。虽然美国人民在许多问题上持不同观点，但是在这个话题上却倾向一致：赋税太重了。<BR>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>BUBBLE INFLATION <BR> <BR>  <BR>A market that goes up 200 per cent in less than 18 months, and trades on a price-to-earnings multiple of about 50 is not necessarily a bubble. But if it looks like a crocodile and grins like a crocodile, it is probably best to treat it as a crocodile, just in case. China's stock market has inflated to a worrying level, and because of Chinese policy and the state of the Chinese economy, it could go higher before it falls.<BR><BR>Penniless college students, housewives, and taxi drivers are reportedly flocking to deal in a Shanghai market that is up more then 40 per cent so far this year. Chinese investors have shrugged off a caution by the governor of the People's Bank of China and pushed shares to valuations that are extremely optimistic, if not yet insane.<BR><BR>But valuations do not matter much in a bubble. In 1990 many Japanese shares reached price-to-earnings multiples in the 1980s, and in 2000 the Nasdaq market in the US traded at more than 100 times its constituents' profits. Once investors start to buy shares purely because they are going up, what counts is whether they have the confidence to keep the process going.<BR><BR>Two features of China's economy encourage that kind of confidence.<BR><BR>First, like every other economy at an early stage of development, there are structural problems that can force money into the stock market. There are not many domestic bonds and bank deposits barely keep pace with inflation. China, still somewhat communist, has capital controls that prevent individuals investing abroad. Chinese citizens' only real investment choices are property, which is illiquid, and the stock market. It was always going to be bubbly.<BR><BR>Second, China's fixed exchange rate makes it hard to keep credit growth under control. The People's Bank of China may have to buy $500bn of foreign currency with renminbi this year to keep the exchange rate down. But the exporters who receive those RMB deposit them in China's commercial banks, so the PBoC has to hoover up the RMB by selling government bonds to the banks, to prevent explosive growth in the money supply.<BR><BR>But sterilising reserve accumulation of $500bn a year – a level unprecedented in economic history – is becoming increasingly hard and rapid growth in bank lending adds fuel to the stock-market fire. There are still things the Chinese authorities can do: liberalise capital outflows, free up domestic markets, and float more state companies to increase the supply of shares to investors. But China may not be able to avoid a large currency appreciation for too much longer.<BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>一个市场在不到18个月的时间里上涨了200%，并且平均市盈率达到约50倍，也并不一定存在泡沫。但是，如果它看起来像一条鳄鱼，并且像鳄鱼一样咧嘴而笑，那么或许最好还是把它当作鳄鱼对待，以防万一。中国股市已经飙升到一个令人担心的水平，而因为中国的政策和中国的经济状况，在下跌之前，它可能还继续上涨。<BR><BR>据报道，那些囊中羞涩的大学生、家庭主妇和出租车司机，也都一窝蜂扎入上海股市之中，其今年以来已经上涨超过40%。虽然中国人民银行行长发出了警告，但投资者并不理睬，反而把股价推到一个如果不是疯狂，也是极度乐观的水平。<BR><BR>然而，在泡沫时期，股价高低并不重要。1990年，很多日本股票的市盈率数倍于80年代的水平；2000年，美国纳斯达克市场的市盈率超过了100倍。一旦投资者购买股票纯粹是因为股价正在上涨，那么，真正重要的就是他们是否有信心将这一过程保持下去。<BR><BR>中国经济的两个特点鼓舞了这种信心。<BR><BR>首先，与所有其它经济体早期的经历发展一样，中国存在一些结构问题，可能促使资金流入股市。中国没有多少国内债券可供投资，而银行存款利率几乎跟不上通胀步伐。中国在某种程度上依然是共产主义国家，依然实施着资本控制，不让个人在海外投资。中国居民仅有的现实投资选择，一是流动性很差的房地产，二是股市。股市总是很容易起泡沫。<BR><BR>第二，中国的固定汇率制度使得很难控制信贷增长。为了使汇率下降，中国人民银行今年或许需要用人民币买进5000亿美元外汇。然而，出口商拿到人民币后，会将它们存到中国的商业银行，因此，中国人民银行被迫向这些银行发售国债，以回笼这些人民币，防止货币供应量出现爆炸式增长。<BR><BR>但是，要想冲销经济史上绝无仅有的一年5000亿美元的外汇储备增幅，正变得越来越难，而银行贷款的快速增长更对股市起到了火上浇油的作用。中国当局还有一些事情可做：放宽资本外流 ，开放国内市场，以及让更多国有公司上市，以增加对投资者的股票供应量。但是，中国或许无法长期避开货币大幅升值。<BR>]]></description>

      <link>http://blog.tianya.cn/blogger/post_show.asp?BlogID=189259&amp;PostID=11161520&amp;idWriter=0&amp;Key=0</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<br/>每个人都会根据自己的学习特点采取不同的学习方式，下面给大家推荐几种不同的背诵方法。 <BR>　　方法（一）<BR><BR>　　（1）明确目的，集中精力<BR><BR>　　背诵一篇课文或者一段必须掌握的语句，最忌东张西望，漫不经心，注意力分散。如果是一篇很简单的文字，背了几天后仍老出错，这肯定是用心不专的缘故。至于出现“前记后忘”的现象，则是正常的，这时千万不要向这种暂时困难屈服而打退堂鼓。<BR><BR>　　（2）确定任务，寻找窍门<BR><BR>　　背诵一篇短文，仅仅读几遍是行不通的，一定要熟读到滚瓜烂熟的程度才行。开始时可短一些，容易一些，然后作一定幅度的调整。此外，背诵时还要讲究一定的技巧，熟读课文内容，理解课文大意，不仅不会记错和混淆，而且记住的数量也会越来越多。<BR><BR>　　（3）坚持复背，及时检查<BR><BR>　　复习背诵的时间用得越多，记住的效果就越佳。例如，早晨背诵过的课文或知识，晚上睡前以及第二天起床后，应进行一次复背，并在每周六或周日再作适当的温习背诵，以后过一个月再复背一次。这样，可保证很长一段时期不会遗忘。<BR><BR>　　（4）加强默写，强化训练<BR><BR>　　所谓“眼过千遍，不如手抄一遍”。采取默写手段，可有效地巩固已经背诵了的课文和知识，而且对加深记忆大有好处。因为文字本身就是一种图形和符号，经常默写可帮助我们促进右脑的开发。如果能切实做到循序渐进，长期进行默写训练，那么一定会有助于背诵的质量和效果。<BR><BR>　　方法（二）<BR><BR>　　（1）反复阅读与再现相结合<BR><BR>　　单纯地反复阅读效果并不好，学习者应该在文章还没有完全记住前积极进行尝试再现，回忆不起来时再阅读。这样容易记住，而且保持时间也长。特别生疏的语句，注意多尝试再现几次。因为尝试再现是一种比阅读更积极的智力活动，又是一种自我检查的过程，使人更能集中精力，掌握识记内容的重点、难点，并及时改正记忆中的错误。<BR><BR>　　（2）试背<BR><BR>　　背诵过程中，如果出现“卡壳”，应该进行追忆。追忆是有意和间接再现的形式，它需要付出很大的意志力，克服一定的困难，多方面寻找线索，进行积极灵活的思维。因此，不能一“卡壳”，就立即停止背诵。<BR><BR>　　（3）熟背<BR><BR>　　文章通过理解消化，已纳入自己的知识系统，语句通过熟读试背，也已朗朗上口，如果再反复朗读几遍，就能流利地背诵下来。检查方式，除了个人和集体背诵外，还有对背，即两人面对面同时背诵，因为有对方干扰，可锻炼学生记忆的深刻性和正确性；提背，即打哪提，从哪背，提到哪，背到哪，可锻炼学生记忆的准确性。<BR><BR>　　（4）默写<BR><BR>　　这也是运用内部语言背诵的一种形式，既用脑，又动手，可加深对文章的记忆。一篇文章，就这样一段一段地把它“吃掉”。最后，遵循“整体→部分→整体”的原则，按照背诵各段的方法，再把全篇串联起来，进行背诵。<BR><BR>　　另外，为了使所背诵的内容长久地保持在头脑中，以便在实践中及时提取应用，学习者还应注意两点：一是遵循遗忘规律，合理安排复习。既要有天天背诵检查，又要每周集中安排一次背诵检查。不断强化记忆痕迹，避免其减弱或消退。二是根据识记程度对遗忘进程的影响，注意安排过度学习。实验表明，过度学习的效果优于适度学习的效果。所谓适度学习是指在识记材料刚刚达到背诵程度就中止的学习。而过度学习是指对识记材料达到背诵之后还继续进行学习了 <BR><BR>我没有什么超人的记忆，也不属于别人说的那种牛人，但是我就是在三个月的时间内把《新概念英语》三册&四册的共108篇文章全背下来了。 <BR><BR>第一篇：过去将来时（思想准备篇） <BR><BR>有人会问:你为什么要把它背下来呢？我觉的学一学就蛮好的吗？ <BR>故事的起因一个真实的小故事：（2002年的夏天在新东方听到） <BR>　　 <BR>新东方有个学员现在在Duke大学，他从高一开始背《新概念英语》第三册，背到高三就背完了。高考考进了北大，进北大后，他本来不想再背了。但当他背给同学听的时候，其他同学都露出了羡慕的眼光，于是，为了这种虚荣心，他就坚持背第四册，把第三、四册都背得滚瓜烂熟，他熟到什么地步呢，有人把其中任何一句说出来，把能把上一句和下一句连接下去，而且语音非常标准，因为他是模仿着磁带来背的。后来他去了美国Duke大学，他给新东方的教师写信，老师不敢回，因为老师对他的英文有畏惧感，他的英文学得太好，只能给他回中文信，并告诉他不是不会写英文，而是想让他温习温习中文，不要忘记祖国的语言。　 <BR>这位学员到美国第一个星期写文章，教授把他叫过去说他的文章是剽窃的，因为他的文章写得太好了，教授说："我20年教书没有教出这么漂亮的文章来。"这个学员说，我没有办法证明我能写出这么优秀的文章，但我告诉你，我能背108篇文章，而且背得非常熟练，你想不想听。结果，他没有背完两篇，教授就哭了起来，为什么？因为这个教授想一想自己教了20年了，居然一篇文章也没有背过，被中国学生背掉了，所以很难过……　 <BR><BR>从那个时候起我就有一种冲动，有一天我相信我也能将这108篇文章全背下来，看来我是做到了。 <BR><BR>我相信也会有人问：你在背诵的过程中最大的困难是什么？我的回答就是：“坚持”。其实我能够坚持下来也是原于一个我在《读者》上看到的一个小故事： <BR>古希腊哲学家苏格拉底在给学生上第一节课的时候，要求他的学生在每天上课之前都向上挥一下手。过了一个星期，他发现已经有一半的学生不在挥手了；过了一个月，他发现只剩下三分之一在挥手；过了半年，他再看，发现最后只剩下一个人在挥手，那个人就是柏拉图。柏拉图后来成为伟大的思想家和哲学家。 <BR>其实任何一件事到最后都是“简单的重复和机械的劳动”。只要你做到了，ok你就有可能在一个领域做到很前列，甚至是Number One。 <BR><BR>第二篇：现在进行时（背诵具体策略篇） <BR><BR>无论我们学习什么，都可能给自己做一个计划或者是有一个步奏。 <BR>在很早以前就听说过王国维的三种境界： <BR>昨夜西风凋碧树，独上高楼望尽天涯路。 <BR>衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴。 <BR>众里寻她前百度，慕然回首那人却在灯火阑珊处。 <BR>这些话是不是让你在做事情上有一定的启发呢？ <BR>我很喜欢《毛主席诗词》，所以我也有了用《毛主席诗词》串联起来我的做事三境界。 <BR>雄关漫道真如铁，而今迈步从头跃。（此乃第一境界） <BR>一万年太久，只征朝夕。（此乃第二境界） <BR>待到山花烂漫时，“我”在丛中笑。（此乃终极目标） <BR><BR>三个月的正式背诵，每天基本上是狂背10-12小时，对我来说既是一种痛苦又是一种快乐。痛苦，是因为太累了，有时一看到《新概念》我都恶心的想吐；快乐，看着自己一天天一篇篇把这些文章背掉，那种愉悦的心情是不言而喻的。也许这就叫作“痛，并快乐这”吧。 <BR>在这个“痛，并快乐这”中我也经历了几个过程： <BR>1。从小我背课文就拿者一本书在我自己的小屋里低着头边走边背（出声背）。在一开始背《新概念》的时候我也是这样，结果一天下来弄得我简直是精疲力劲，而且效率不高，这种方法很快就被淘汰。 <BR>2。我发现做在自己的床上背诵（出声音背）效率大大的提高，这样一天下来，感觉除了嗓子有点累还是蛮轻松的。就这样我在4。30日把第三册背完了。想想第三册有60课我紧用了一个多月（哦，我的背诵是从2003年3。20日开始）就搞定，那么第四册才48课估计一个月搞定应该没什么问题。但是事实超出了我的预料。 <BR>3。五月一日正式开始背诵第四册，当背到第10课（silicon vallay)的是时候我的嗓子已经受不了了，只要我一背就咳嗽，而且咳的很厉害，背诵被迫终止的5天。后来我只能不出声音的背（就是默背），结果奇迹出现了，我不在咳嗽了，而且我的效率提高了一倍。（也许“默背”是很多人的背诵习惯，可是多我来说就意味着要改变从“儿时”养成的背诵习惯，还是挺不容易的。）事情到此，可能也就没有什么可讲的了。但是，在我快要把第四册背完的时候（背到第39课what every writer wants)，我遇到了一个大困难，那就是“噪音”。因为我家是住在（天津人叫做）“大杂院”。时直夏日，人门都出来乘凉，这种生活噪音成了我的最大的敌人。背诵的速度被迫降了下来。就这样原定第四册最迟在6。10拿下，结果直到6。21日才全部搞定。 <BR>所以，对我而言（是否适用其他人我不敢说）背诵的最快的方法是：1。坐在一个地方 2。默背 3。尽量找噪音小的地方背。 <BR><BR>第三篇：现在完成时（背诵过后的感觉） <BR><BR>《新概念英语》30年不衰说明她的确是一本好书。 <BR><BR>1。第三册大部分文章都会让你觉的：这篇文章真好玩，这个故事有意思。第三册的文章可以说都是作者象做一个精品一样来把这个文章弄出来。如果你能背下三册的前40篇文章，那么你的写作功力一定会大增。如果你说我背下来三册前40篇了，我还是不会写作文，那不是你问题，就是我有问题，要不就是《新概念》有问题。 <BR><BR>2。第四册难了。但是她究竟难在什么地方呢？她比第三册究竟难在哪里呢？实际上我的感觉就是第四册基本上都是“说明文”而第三册可以说都是“记叙文”。所以第四册难在她的文体上，她没有什么情节，而且她有自己的Ideas。所以，像第44课patterns of culture 这课简直就是超超难，她没有什么情节，背诵的难度非常的大。<BR><BR><BR>在全世界的英语学习者的心目中，《新概念英语》可谓是一部“宝典”级的教材，如今在中国，学习《新概念英语》也已蔚然成风。那么这部“宝典”的与众不同之处到底体现在何处呢？《新概念英语》由英国著名的语言教育专家L.G.Alexander 先生编写，历经半个多世纪而经久不衰，因为它可以帮助学习者在比较短的时间内全方位地提高自身的听说读写译五方面的素质。我就从这么几个方面帮大家分析一下学习《新概念英语》的好处和具体的学习方法：<BR><BR>　　第一部分，听力。<BR><BR>　　大家完全可以把《新概念英语》当成是一套很好的听力教材。《新概念英语》的配套磁带有英音的和美音的两种。大家可以根据自己的实际需要去选择购买。通过《新概念英语》练习英语听力的方法可以参考下列步骤：<BR><BR>　　第一步：不要看书，将整篇课文听写下来。如果有的词听不出来，猜测该词应该是什么，实在听不出来就不勉强。随着听写的增多，听力会逐渐增强。在听的过程中，也可加深对英语发音的认识。而且实践证明，如果能达到一听就懂的程度，你的脑子里英语翻译成汉语的现象就会消失，阅读理解的能力一定会大大提高。<BR><BR>　　第二步：把听写下来的文章与原文比对，查找错误，知道自己错在哪，以后今后如何避免。<BR><BR>　　第三步：跟着磁带反复跟读课文。注意各单词的读音以及语调等问题，语音语调尽量模仿磁带，力求接近磁带上的。<BR><BR>　　第二部分，词汇。<BR><BR>　　新概念教材课文里所学习的单词都是最基本、最常用的词汇，所以大家一定要掌握。对于意思不太明白的，最好用英英词典或者双解词典查阅并掌握其含义。<BR><BR>　　第三部分，语法和阅读。<BR><BR>　　建议大家进行课后的习题练习和同步测试，巩固学习内容，检验学习效果。尤其是，新概念每课都有一个自己的核心语法内容，这就要求学生要将每课的这一个语法掌握。如果个别同学感觉自己的语法和阅读水平较差的，最好选择一些与自己水平相当的语法教材和英语分级阅读读物来进行课外学习，以提高英语实力。<BR><BR>　　第四部分，写作。<BR><BR>　　很多人不知道如何借学习新概念来提高自己的写作能力，其实这也是有法可循的。你可以在接触一篇新的课文前，先不要看它的英文，而是根据它的中文翻译自己写再翻译成英语，然后再和原文对照，这样一经对比，就可以找到自己写作的弱点和问题，及时修正，日久积累，从而获得提高。特别是第三册和第四册里面的一些美文，就为大家提供了相当好的写作方法和经典范文。<BR><BR>　　第五部分，背诵。<BR><BR>　　在学习过程中，背诵一些经典课文将对英语的记忆、理解非常有益。尤其对于英语初学者而言，通过背诵课文可以加深对英语的记忆，在头脑中形成固定的记忆区域，这是一个由量变到质变的过程。很多经典的句型、语法、词汇，通过背诵课文，都可以十分有效地长驻背诵者心中，这样一来，同学们的阅读、语法和写作，能够同时得到提高。<BR>]]></description>
