2、, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.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 dont use the learning techniques that science has proved most ef

3、fective. 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 ind

4、icates 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 be

5、tter 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

8、pread 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 th

9、emselves 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 s

10、o 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

11、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 p

12、eople 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 bllelieve that it is perfectly OK to drive an environment killing car at breakneck speed on public roads because some thoughtless, selfish celebrity ha

13、s bragged （ 吹嘘 ） about doing it.听力第四篇Directions ： In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is readfor the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea.

14、ords youhave just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.Every child has a social identity, which is how we perceive our various roles in society in relation to others. Whether it is through social position, culture, interests, achievements

15、, or beliefs, children derive from their social identities a sense of pride, self-worth, and consistency.So, when it is rapidly changed, threatened, or questioned, it is no wonder that a child may become vulnerable （ 易受伤害的 ） to depression.Not all children who undergo changes of their social identiti

16、es will experience depression. Instead, it is thought that those who identify with a limited number of social roles are more at risk of developing depression when a role is lost. This is not to say that a child cannot develop a new social identity, but it simply highlights the importance of how a ch

17、ild views himself in relation to the world around him.In order to have a social identity, we need people around us to confirm or deny. The people around us also influence our social identities and the way we feel about ourselves. If a child is very shy and withdrawn, it is likely that other children

18、 will pick up on her social cues and leave her alone, thus confirming him social identity as shy and withdrawn. In turn, she may lack satisfaction in her social role, feel lonely, or become frustrated trying to break free from that identity.As a parent, you can support your child s social roles by a

19、cknowledging what and who is important to her. Try not to put too much emphasis on any one single social role. Instead, encourage him to try new and different things, and remind him of the other important roles that she plays in life.Along with the e-age, every field makes use of the e-technology fo

20、r their own purposes.Hundreds of universities across the country are turning to email s overactive younger brother -text messaging -to bridge the digital divide between administration and students. 90 percent of students carry cell phones and 70 percent use Short Message Service (SMS) technology, mo

21、re commonly known as text messaging, on a regular basis, according to online statistics. Most university chief information officers agree that it makes sense to send urgent alerts to devices that students have with them all the time. And in addition to having a far reach with college kids, text mess

22、ages are delivered fast; unlike email, thousands of messages can be transmitted within a few minutes.But this hailed technology is not without problems. Getting students enrolled in a voluntary (自愿的) program is never easy. Students say that they rreeluctant to share their cell phonenumber with their

23、 institution for fear of receiving junk mail. Also, without unlimited message plans, messages can cost a cell phone owner 10-15 cents each, which hinders the program. Besides, students might also withdraw from the program or, if they get a new number, may not update their number in the school s syst

24、em.Meanwhile, technology has its share of problems-like the fact that messages are limited to160 characters. A shorthand alert, brief instructions, and perhaps an indication to check the school s website for more details is all that a text message can afford. Despite limitations, three text message

28、uilding nor interviewing skills . but networking. Networking is the perfect way to meet the professionals in your field who can offer you new perspectives on your industry and assist you in seeking new job opportunities. If you use your network properly, you will hear of multiple job opportunities,

29、often before they are even listed.Some job-seekers shy away from networking because they think networking is equal to taking advantage of people, but if done correctly, networking can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved. Networking is not asking everyone you know for a job. Networking

30、 means developing a broad list of contacts and using them to your advantage when you look for a job. People in your network could be your family, friends, and peopleyou vemet throughsocial and business situations.

When you have a network of professional contacts with whom you interact on a regular basis, your employment opportunities will grow greatly.Domestic （家庭） violence and abuse can happen to anyone, yet the probl

Domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate. It occurs within all age ranges, ethnic （ 民族的 ） backgrounds, and economic levels.
