students this task: go to the slums (贫民窟). take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. then predict their chances for the future. the students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison. twentyfive years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. they went back to the same area. some of the boysby then menwere still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. they found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? the researchers were continually told: “well, there was a teacher.”they pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. the researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. how had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her? “no，” she said, “no i really couldnt.” and then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners: “i loved those boys.”41what were a group of graduate students instructed to do?a. to research into the living conditions of the poor citizens.b. to foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids.c. to study 200 boys in the slums between 12

answer your exam papers with confidence. 53. _ it is better to have all the study materials available to you before you start reading. this not only includes your texts and notes but also the previous years notes and things like a dictionary and reference books. this has two advantages. firstly, you do not need to break your concentration (专心) by searching for books. it saves time. secondly, it gives you a feeling of being prepared for the exams, as you have all the necessary things and the only thing left its to start studying .54. _ the most common mistake that students make is that they start studying a day or two before exams. you cant revise (复习) all the notes if you study only two days before exams. therefore, what most of the students do is study only the “so-called” important points. as a result , even if the test paper is easy , you get a low score only because you dont know the entire syllabus （课程提纲）. so start studying at least a month before the exams.55. _ if you have descriptive subjects, do not just remember the answers. try to understand what you are reading, for this is the best methods for good recall at the time of exams. the major disadvantage of reciting is that if you forget one word of the answer during your exam, you tend to go completely blank. on the contrary (相反地), if you understand the subjects well, you can write the answer on your own at any time. for exams like math , practice at least five sums every day. math cannot be learned in a day .56. _the last tips is to study when you are in your best mentally active state. some people are comfortable studying in the early morning, while some like studying at night. find out the time when you are fresh and relaxed and choose that time for your studies.五、单词拼写（共4小题, 满分4分）57 we will never
