II.Judge.accordingtothetext,whetherthefollowingstatementsaretrueorfalse.1. F. Refer to paragraph 5 and 8, the author and her friends are a bunch of over-forty classmates who would pick up the slack for their own daughters, so they can’t be the mothers of mature, middle-aged children.2. T. Refer to paragraph 5.though the author and her friends were not old enough to wear orthopedic shoes, many wore spectacle as they reached middle age when eye-sight starts to fail.3. F. Refer to paragraph 7,the group thought of the woman in her twenties as brash, angry, and, quite inappropriate. They did not enjoy her company and were relieved when she failed to join their study sessions.4. T. Refer to paragraph 11. time has taught the author to be more flexible and ready to take whatever happens and be more process-oriented.III.Answerthefollowingquestions.1. They found this woman brash angry and quite inappropriate, but they treated her like their daughter. And they would find themselves in more pleasant situation if this woman was not around because they would always agree, and even their disagreements were somehow smooth and enjoyable.2. We all know that orthopedic shoes are used to correct leg or spine deformation in children while bifocals are used by the elderly to see things which are near or far off. So this sentence means that they are not young any longer, and they are getting old.3. They do not do things as they might have been ready to do at twenty. Instead they will do it at a slower pace because they have learned that the world is in no hurry to be changed. The thing that matters for them is not they result any longer but the process.IV.Explaininyourownwordsthefollowingsentencestakenformthetext.
1. I had thought that I was quite different from other people, but when I directed my attention from myself to other people I found that there were so many people just like me..2. To our surprise, the little child among us when we were young has already grown mature and already in her middle age. And we realize that we are really getting old. 3. We found so many surprises in school, and apart from that, we also enjoyed the company of each other very much. We appreciated this kind of friendship intensely,just like what we felt for our lovers when we were in love or for the baby when we were pregnant.StructuralanalysisofthetextThis text can be divided into three parts. Part I (para 1) is the opening remark in which the author reveals to us her opinion of herself, that is, she thinks she is quite different from others. Part II (para 2-14) is the body of this article in which the author elaborates on the kind of friends she has, the effect of their friendship on her life, her attitude toward people, and her world-view. Part III(para 15) is the closing remarks in which the author reiterates the effects of having friends, that is, you can become really different from other people even when u are old.RhetoricalfeaturesofthetextExample one:”… we delved in this newly-found camaraderie with an intensity we did not know we could achieve outside of love and pregnacies”(para 7). The third “we” here is the subject if an attributive clause which is used to modify the antecedent phrase “this newly-found camaraderie” while the second “we” is the subject of a clause which is added to give some more information. Example two:” We had, in fact, created a sort of bubble around us, a magic circle that follows us still and says we are bright, successful, caring, ambitious, and finally, ready to change the world”(para 9). The second “we” here is the subject of an object clause which serves as the object of the verb”says”. VocabularyexercisesI.

Firstly,and most commonly, there are those awards which are given for the satisfactory completion of course work and examination. The two best known examples of these are the BA (or Bachelor of Arts) and BSc (or Bachelor of Science). These are sometimes also called first degrees, for the obvious reason that they are the first award that a student is likely to be given by the university. You will notice I have also included Diplomas in the category as well, because they too meet the criterion I have laid down here. That is to say, they are also awarded on the completion of satisfactory course work and examination. However, whereas Bachelor-level degrees are normally given at the end of three or four years’ course work, Diploma courses normally only last for one year.They are usually more narrowly specialized and more professionally orientated. Thus they are often given to people who are training to be teachers or social workers and who already have a Bachelor-level degree.II.FillineachblankinthepassagebelowwithONEwordyouthinkappropriate.1. which 5. expected 6. involves 7. awards Listeningexercises2. ones 3. which 4. awarded 8. honorTRANSCRIPTLearning to learnTalk show host: Good evening and welcome to tonight’s program. Our guest is the world-known Dr. Charles Adams, who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning. His new book, learning a language over eggs and toasts, has been on the bestseller list for the past six weeks. Welcome to our program.Dr. Adams : Ah, it’s a pleasure to be here.Talk show host : Now Dr. Adams, tell us about the title of your book, learning a language over eggs and toast.Dr. Adams : Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.Talk show host: Now, sorry for saying this, but your ideas sound a little simplistic to our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn’t become a proficient speaker of the language.Dr. Adams: Well , I think there are many people that feel that way, and that’s just it. I’m not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised land of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter. Talk show host: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book? Dr.Adams: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning.I mean, some people get caught up the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become disenchanted when they don't perform up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day. Talk show host: Um-hum.now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Can you elaborate on that? Dr. Adams: Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; others are auditory learners who favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them. Now, our preferences are dertemined by many factors, for example, personality, culture, and past experience. Talk show host: Well,Dr. Adams, What is your learning style? Dr. Adams:Well, I m a very tactile learner. Talk show host: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience? Dr. Adams: Exactly. Talk show host: So, how does knowing your learning style benefit you? Dr. Adams: Well, this might seem a little unusual, but moving around while trying to learn and memorize materials helps me a great deal. While I cut up tomatoes and onions for my omelet in the morning, I might recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife. But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature,but are often very multidimensional, and we tend to learn differently in different situations. Talk show host: So what is my learning style? Dr. Adams: Well,you are going to have to read my book to find that out. Talk show host: Okay,we have just found out from Dr. Charles Adams, author of the book, learning languages over eggs and toast. Thanks for joining us. Dr. Adams: my pleasure. .Key to Listening exercisesB.complete the following statements. 1 established 2 tactile 3 dienchanted 4 sparked 5 implying 6 elaborateC answer the following questions 1 To establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. 2 A 3 A Planning out your study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning.
