听力原文： Preparing for Tests Good morning, everybody. The topic of today’s lecture is preparing for tests. You need to understand the importance of tests, the best methods of preparation, the common sense required for both a physical and mental approach to them, how to read instructions and questions correctly, and how to answer the way the tests or teacher expect you to answer. This is one of the most valuable psychological benefits that can come from your education. People have different attitudes towards tests.(2)Do you ever consider the tests or examinations as a personal battle which the teacher wages in an attempt to defeat you or do you see it as a contest in which one tries to_outwit_the other? The difference in attitude can be seen in the difference between two questions: “Why did you take off points on this question?”and “What should I have included that I did not?” Another attitude that you should avoid is that of fear.(3)Fear of taking a test results in tension and disturbed thinking. Students who are afraid start in a state of confusion and disorder. Thus they

throw away the advantages they have gotten by preparation. Students who approach tests with fear are almost always characterized by the following: 1)Their grade is considerably lower than their daily recitation grades, sometimes as much as twenty points lower. 2)They complain about the teacher-insufficient explanation, lack of detailed review, etc. 3)(4)They find fault with the test materials—too long, not the type of questions expected and studied for, didn’t understand the wording of questions. 4)Fear drives these students to study for the test with another student. (5)A third attitude is wholly positive. It is the attitude of challenge, self-confidence, and content-reliability.(6)This attitude requires the relationship between student and teacher, and question and answer, always to be one of cooperative production rather than competitive destruction. (7)To adopt an attitude of challenge and self-confidence towards tests and examinations, you must first understand the real purposes of tests. (8)First, the motivation. From the student’s point of view, the first reason for tests is motivation. Few of us are self-disciplined and motivated enough to educate ourselves without direction and requirement. A second reason for tests is that they provide students with a chance to show how much they have learned. Daily recitation does not provide such an opportunity. (9)A third reason is that students gain insight into what the teacher considers most important. If test questions deal with main topics and essential principles, the student can accurately estimate the nature of future and larger tests. (10)A fourth important reason is that students can discover both their shortcomings and the extent of their progress. They can carefully study their errors and the general areas in which they occur. Now that you understand the reasons for tests and examinations, and how they benefit both student and teacher, you should not groan when a test is announced. If you manage this, your grade will manage itself. That’s all for today’s lecture.

听力原文：W: Hey, Mike! Good to have you back! You look exhausted!M: Hi, Linda. Yeah, I’m totally beat. I can barely keep my eyes open!W: Was it a rough trip?M: Well, it was actually pretty productive, but all the flying really got to me.W: Ah, jet lag, the pain of business travelers.M: The worst thing was adjusting to the time zones! It’s so hard to get used to the difference!W: Yeah, it’s hard. You know jet lag

only hits if you travel east-west or west-east. You could fly from Germany to Cape Town in South Africa and you wouldn’t feel anything. M: Right, because it’s all in the same time zone.(1)Unfortunately for me, all my travel was between different time zones. I have to say: I’m really suffering! Why is jet lag so nasty? W:(2)Travel between time zones basically resets your body’s internal clock. M: So when you travel between time zones your body is thrown off its cycle? W: Exactly!(3 - 1)Some experts say it takes a full day to recover from each time zone you cross.M: Wow, that’s a long time.(3 -2)I’m going to need a few weeks off!W: That would be best, but unfortunately our boss isn’t quite that generous.M: Is there anything I can do to make my jet lag less severe the next time I make an international trip? W:(4 - 1)Some people take herbal medicine, but there’s really no solid proof that it works. Some people take sleeping pills and try to sleep for the whole flight. M: I guess each person has to try and find the solution that works best for him. W: Yeah, everyone is different. But I believe there are a few things that can definitely make jet lag a little easier to deal with. M: Oh, yeah? Like what?W: For one, don’t drink alcohol on flights. It dehydrates you and only makes jet lag worse. M: Oh, I usually have a few drinks when I fly. Maybe I should stick to water next time. W:(4-2)Water is best because you really need to stay hydrated, especially when you’re breathing the dry air in an airplane. Also, you should try to get on the local schedule as soon as you land. M: I guess that makes sense.W: Your body will slowly accept a new sleep-wake cycle. M:(5)But the cycle is based on light from the sun, right? Then maybe I should take a walk in the morning and try to reset my brain to the new time for light. W: Actually, that’s probably a great idea. And the exercise can’t hurt either. M: I think I’ll try some of these ideas next time and see which ones work for me. Thanks you’re your input, Linda. W: Sure! And have a nice rest tonight.1. What do we know about the man’s business travel?2. According to the woman, what is the cause of the discomfort from jet leg?3. What can be inferred from the conversation?4.

W: Can you handle another criticism?M: Sure, why not? Bring it on!W: I would recommend that you work on following through with projects. You have a lot of good ideas and you start quite a few different projects, but many times you don’t follow through. Then all these ideas are just floating around but nothing is really getting done. M: But I’m really more of an idea person. I come up with concepts and start them, but the legwork is really not my style. W: Honestly Steve, you have a lot of talent, but if you don’t complete tasks, you won’t get promoted. M: Well, thanks for the advice. I’ll try to work on that.
