case of schoolwork, studying for hours and bringing home disappointing grades may make you feel hopeless
or helpless, but this is far from the truth. If you are dealing with disappointing grades, promise to change
your study habits and you"ll be amazed by the results.
Act Fast
The most important rule about dealing with disappointing grades is to act fast. Don"t sit around and let
them get worse, and definitely don"t ignore them. Instead, admit that you need help and go in search of it
soon. The faster you face up to the problem, the faster you can find a solution and see some results.
Tweak your routine
If you are studying hard and still dealing with disappointing grades, it"s probably time to tweak your
routine a little. Remember, if you keep doing the same thing all the time you"ll undoubtedly keep getting the
same results. Mix things up by asking for help, whether from a friend or fellow student, your teacher or a
private tutor. Ask for help with the subject matter and tips for studying on your own.
Study Successfully
Of course it doesn"t matter where you study or who you study with if you are studying the wrong things.
Make sure that you are studying successfully by:
*Reviewing your textbooks.
*Looking over your notes from class.
*Taking new notes while you study.
*Investing in study guides.
*Answering all of the review questions you can find.
*Talking through events or concepts that are integral (整体) to your lessons.
Learn From Your Mistakes
If, after all of your changes and redoubling your study efforts, you are still disappointed with your grades,
then it is time to figure out exactly where you are going wrong. Look over exam papers and assignments to
see if you are having trouble with a particular kind of question (multiple choice, true or false, etc.) or concept.
Examine your essays to see if you are explaining your ideas clearly and completely, or if it is the mechanics
of your writing (spelling, grammar, etc.) that is letting you down. Request an appointment with your teacher
and use this time to discuss your work and get his/her feedback as well.
Dealing with disappointing grades is something that every student will face at one time or another. It won"t
be fun, but take a realistic look at your attention in class, your study habits and your performance on past
assignments and exam. Figure out where you are having trouble and dedicate yourself to fixing these problems.
B. to persuade students to change their attitude toward schoolwork
C. to offer advice on how to improve academic grades at school
D. to emphasize the importance of dealing with disappointing grades
B. to mix things up before you work out a practical solution alone
C. to examine your everyday life to make room for self improvement
D. to make necessary alterations in your study habits and plans
B. have a study partner who act fast to face up a problem and study successfully
C. find out your weak points by reviewing schoolwork and seek necessary help
D. make an appointment with your teachers and develop useful examination skills
B. examiner
C. parent
D. instructor
B. a down-to-earth attitude
C. creativity and dedication

language problems, according to a study published on Friday.
The research, believed to be the first of its kind, found that children who were not facing the person
pushing them were less likely to talk, laugh and interact with their parents.
The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies
were wheeled in buggies for a mile, facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other
half. Parents using face-to-face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies" heart
rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep, an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.
In addition, only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an away-facing buggy.
"Our data suggests that for many babies today, life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly
stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults," said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist
at Scotland"s Dundee University who carried out the research.
The study, which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its "Talk To Your Baby" campaign,
found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in away-facing buggies.
Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies" development if they spent a long time in away-facing
buggies, which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was
developing rapidly.
Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust, a social mobility charity which funded the research, said buggy
manufacturers should look closely at the findings.
B. affect babies" language ability permanently
C. help babies communicate with their parents
D. have positive effect on babies" development
B. The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.
C. The samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.
D. One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.
B. nervous
C. rich
D. energetic
B. is a social mobility charity funding the research
C. carried out the study of babies pushed in buggies
D. started the campaign named "Talk To Your Baby"
B. Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents
C. Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults

a robot designed to show children that science and technology can be fun subjects.
Saya, a life-like female who started her career as a robot receptionist at Japanese companies and was
then re-programed to teach, gave a lesson to fifth-graders at Tokyo"s Kudan Elementary School after being
carried to the podium.
Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi of Tokyo University of Science. who built Saya, says she"s not meant to
replace human teachers, just to highlight the joys of technology.
"We are not considering making something that will take over from teachers, but rather our main reason
for building this robot is to use new technology to teach children about technology," Kobayashi told Reuters.
But Saya may be able to help in schools where there is a shortage of teachers, he added.
"In the countryside and in some small schools.there are children who do not have the opportunity to
come into contact with new technology and also there are few teachers out there that can teach these lessons,"
Kobayashi said.
"So we hope to be able to develop this robot so it can be remotely controlled to teach these classes."
Many of the children were attracted by Saya, and did not take their eyes off her throughout the lecture.
When class was over, some students poked her face and pinched her.
"It"s so much more fun than regular classes." said 10一year old Nanako Iijima.
The children"s human teacher, however, was not as impressed with the robot as her students.
"On the one hand I am impressed that they"ve got robots to go this far, but on the other hand they still
have a long way to research before they create a truly robotic teacher." Akito Fukuda,the school"s science
teacher said.
B. use new technology to improve teaching quality
C. be used to replace teachers
D. help in schools where there are not enough teachers
B. many students think Sava"s lessons dull
C. Akito Fukuda thinks Saya a truly robotic teacher
D. making something that will take over from teachers is not scientists"s purpose
B. Sava is not meant to replace human teachers
C. Saya can be programmed to do as told
D. Saya teaches better than human teachers
B. Teaching needs improving

as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. A listener in Cambodia named Thida asks if American colleges and
universities also accept the IELTS exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It was
developed by the University of Cambridge ESOL examiners. Cambridge ESOL says the test measures true-to-
life ability to communicate in English for education, immigration or employment. The IELTS tests listening,
reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture of accents and spellings, including British English and
American English.
The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred and twenty
countries. And, yes, that includes the United States. The many American schools that accepted the IELTS can
be found on the Web at felts.org.
Some schools accept both the TOEFL and the IELTS, but the graduate school at Duke University in
Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it prefers the IEITS.
The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes the IELTS, but people have a choice
of reading and writing tests-either academic or general training.
The listening test takes thirty minutes. There are forty questions based on a recording. The reading test
takes sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.
The writing test also takes sixty minutes. Students have to write two essays. One essay has to be at least
one hundred and fifty words long and the other at least two hundred and fifty words. The shorter one is
description of something; the longer one has to support and argument.
The speaking test takes less than fifteen minutes. The score is based on a recorded talk between the student
and a test examiner.
And that"s the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. If you have a general
question for our series, write to special@voanews.com. I"m Barbara Klein.

D. The Test of English as a Native Language
B. more than 165 minutes
C. no more than 160 minutes
D. less than 166 minutes

(强制的) subject for its pupils.
Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of
China as the world"s fastest growing economy.
Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the
school has only a "handful" of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.
Mr. Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said,
"One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the
21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world."
"China has replaced Britain as the world"s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this
challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation"s children are well-placed to
thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.
"A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of
the children of Brighton College."
Mr. Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow
pupils to learn their language.
In order to lead the way, Mr. Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class
as a pupil."I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show
the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects."
B. the realities of the 21st century
C. the fastest growing economy in the world
D. about a school which will make all its pupils learn Chinese
B. it realizes the importance of China as the world"s fastest growing economy
