only a 1050." The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT),
which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or
even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has
becomes the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is
put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test
score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a
prestigious university, they fear that many of life"s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student"s future
performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other
indication--like a student"s high school grades. Even if standard tests like the SAT could show a student"s
academic proficiency (学业水平),they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower,
and are unable to give us the full picture of a student"s potentialities (潜力). This is not to suggest that we
should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways,
and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods
used.
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in school work

Kate"s weakness is more acceptable-she is unable to walk past a cake shop without overeating Sophin Cartier
finds her cigarette habit a headache, while Alice"s thumb-sucking drives her boy friend crazy. Four people
with very different habits, but they all share a common problem anxiety disorder or, in serious cases. Obessive
Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
From nail-biting to too much hand-washing, overeating and internet addiction (上瘾),OCD is widespread
in almost every workplace and countless home."It is a relatively common form of anxiety," says Dr. Mootee.
"The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted obsessive (过度的) thoughts such as worries that
doors are left unlocked, gas or electrical appliances are left on." In order to fight against the an essay checking
door locks and gas or electrical appliances.
Dr. Mootee says that repetitive washing, particularly of the hands, is the most common type of OCD. She
has treated many patients who wash their hands up to 30 times a day. The technique Mootee uses to treat
people with OCD is called cognitive-behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). "It is based on the general idea that
people have the ability to change the way they think and behave," says Mootee.
But when does a habit become a problem? "It"s personal," says Mootee. "Everyone has something unusual,
but if you can"t put up with it, then it"s a problem and you need to do something to change it." Mootee says
many people ready for treatment because they fear they are "crazy". But as people become more knowledgeable about these problems they will go and get help. The only way to cure is to conquer.

Unlike the other disciplines (学科), philosophy cannot e defined by what you study,because it si actually
unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature,
mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason
you get a Doctorate (博士学位) of Philosophy (Ph. D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or
psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of
argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning.
The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of
philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding
other disciplines. Only philosophy question the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to
other disco[;ones. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis
that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one"s ability to solve problem, to
communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important form a large
quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career filed, not necessarily for obtaining one"s
first job after graduation,but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on.
It is very short sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one"s first job. The
useful skills developed thought the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career
advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to
resolve human conflict.

B. a person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophy
C. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world
Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during
World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January
1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought (干旱). The State Government introduced one hour of daylight
saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the
Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian
Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South
Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so
until 1989.
Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics
or festivals (节日). For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while
South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving
plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many
other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers
in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the
broadcasters of national radio and television.
B. to support government officials
C. to pass a special law in the state
D. to save water and electricity
B. Queensland.
C. South Australia.
D. New South Wales.
B. It is not used in festivals.
C. Its plan was changed in 2000.
D. It lasts for two weeks.
B. It helps little to save energy.
C. It brings about longer working days.
D. Radio and TV programs become different.
is no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling"s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good
children"s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics
such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23%
said they didn"t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each
year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has
affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for
the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to
help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes
with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20
months" progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months"
progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read
less - often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading
can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According
to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
B. Many high-quality children"s books have been published.
C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D. The sales of presents for children have increased.
B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading.
C. a minority of primary school children read properly.
D. a large percentage of children read regularly.
B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
B. shows the potential to enjoy a long life.
C. is likely to succeed in their education.
D. would make excellent future researchers.
B. to encourage the publication of more children"s books.
C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun.
D. to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading.
of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes-named Square Eyes-contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to
record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to
a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves,
based on the day"s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British
teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University
in London, UK. "We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out," she says. "And I
wanted to tackle that with my design."
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically
switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts
of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours
of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV
time.
Existing pedometer (计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by
measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.
But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. "It is possible, but it would be a lot of
effort," she says. "That was one of my main design considerations."
B. deal with overweight among teenagers.
C. enable children to resist the temptation of TV.
D. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs.
B. They determine a child"s daily pocket money.
C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
D. They contain information of the receiver.
B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.
C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
A. make it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat.
B. counts the wearer"s steps through shaking.
C. records the sudden movement of the wearer.
D. sends teenagers" health data to the receiver.
B. Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise
C. Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise
D. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight
