In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt.When a student’s spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities, it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on campus could have a bad influence on people’s values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life, campus is a place for study. So just think twice before you sign a bill.
Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)
Even as the economy improves, a jobless executive may face up to a year or more of unemployment. This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time. While some job seekers spend hundreds—even thousands—of hours discovering daytime television, others seem to thrive on activities that boost their professional careers or resolve family issues when they aren’t working.
Having an extended period of free time in the prime of one’s life can in fact be a unique opportunity to focus on volunteer service, professional education or personal growth.
Community Involvement
For Lisa Perez, the wakeup call was burned pork chops. An executive who previously hadn’t been particularly interested in home and health had become obsessed with homemaking during a stint of unemployment.来源：www.examda.com
She realized that cleaning and organizing her home wasn’t helping her job search. Nevertheless, “I made lists of 50 things to do every day,” says Ms. Perez, a political and public-relations consultant in Scottsdale, Ariz. “My house was spotless, just so I’d have something to do.”
One day, her boyfriend didn’t arrive on time for dinner because he had to work late, and her pork chops were ruined. She threw a fit. “I’d never been a person like that,” she says. “So I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, and go out and do something productive.”
Ms. Perez, 35, resolved to become an active volunteer for the duration of her search. She gave her time to a health-care concern, a housing program and a political campaign.
The work bolstered her self-confidence. “Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s much worse than yours,” she says.来源：www.examda.com
Volunteer assignments are also great ways to meet powerful and well-connected people. Over a six-month period, her volunteering evolved into working as a paid consultant and then as a full-time employee, a job she still holds today. In all, she was unemployed for eight months.
Before her job loss, she thought she didn’t have time to volunteer while working. “Now, even though I have a demanding job, I still volunteer, because of what I got out of it,” says Ms. Perez.
Continuing Education
Gene Bellavance, a 36-yearold information-technology project manager, took another route during his unemployment. When he was laid off from a steel company near Cleveland, he knew his immediate prospects were bleak. He expected his search to take a year. He faced a decision: take a job that would set back his career or hold out for an offer he really wanted.
Mr. Bellavance, single and virtually debt free, shifted his finances into survival mode. He cashed out his pension, sold his house, unloaded things he didn’t need at garage sales, and rented an apartment with a roommate. Then, he says, “I signed up for every benefit I could find.”
But he wasn’t just waiting out the year. He spent the rest of his search updating his skills, including becoming certified in new database and project-management software. “You have to invest in yourself,” Mr. Bellavance says. “I estimated what technology was going to be the most beneficial and chose applications that were going to be pervasive, that were right for my market, and that were going to ensure top pay.”
In addition to income from the occasional IT-consulting assignment, he relied on a combination of displaced-worker-retraining grants and unemployment benefits. “I went out and found the classes, submitted the paperwork, and dealt with the bureaucracy. You have to stay after them, keeping your benefits moving forward. It’s up to you to make it work with your overall transition plan,” he says.
His job search was one month shy of the full year he’d expected. He looked for work during his training and says he would have finished the certification programs even if he’d been hired before completing them.
“People should not feel guilty” about accepting government aid, he says. “I saw this in a lot of people. They felt they were some kind of loser for taking benefits. My advice is: Get all you can. You’ve been paying for these programs in your entire career, and you may as well start to benefit from them.”
Family Matters
In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters. Many executives rediscover their children or find time to help their parents.
Stanford Rappaport held three jobs in San Francisco, including high-tech and teaching positions. When he was laid off from the high-tech job last year, he knew it might be a long slog before he could get another post like it in the Bay Area. “I was able to do the math,” says Mr. Rappaport, 46. “The number of people laid off: huge; and the number of available jobs: miniscule. At the time, I thought it might be two or three years before the tech industry recovered.”
Mr. Rappaport’s remaining job, a part-time faculty position with City College of San Francisco, didn’t pay enough to support him. After a couple of months of searching with no results, he decided to escape the Northern California jobs meltdown. “My plan,” he says, “was to get out of an expensive living situation, and either seek work in another section of the U.S. or overseas, for those two years.” Mr. Rappaport, who speaks five languages, had worked overseas before.
Before he found an assignment, his Arkansas-based mother was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness, and he was called into duty as a son. Mr. Rappaport was able to help his mother get her affairs in order not to interrupt his search by using a San Francisco mail drop and cellphone. “I continued to look for work in California while I was in Fayetteville, Ark., helping my mother through this crisis.”来源：考试大
He took his mother to medical appointments, made repairs on her house, bought her a better car, and straightened out her legal and financial affairs. “I even got to go through my father’s effects, which in the five years since he had died were simply piled in boxes in his office,” he says.
Mr. Rappaport’s stay in Arkansas lasted six months. “It’s amazing that at this stage I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with my mother and improve her life and get a lot of things done for her. Most people never have that opportunity. I’m very thankful that I had the chance. It was absolutely worth it,” he says.
One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver. He’d been feeling depressed and defeated when he left California, but after returning, he felt renewed. He landed a job with a former employer after returning to San Francisco and remains a part-time faculty member.
Discovery and Exploration
Instead of spending time off lamenting your unemployed status, ask yourself: “Is there something I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t because of the demands of my job?”
Felice Fisk, a 29yearold in Seattle, recently left an account-manager position at a contract-furniture company. During seven months of unemployment, she took an interest in fine-art painting and completed 18 pieces before returning to work. “I found the art work, or some kind of creative outlet, to be really beneficial,” she says. She’s now an interior designer for an interior-design firm.来源：考试大
Michael Ross, 42, a former IT administrator in El Cerrito, Calif., recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business. “After 18 years at my former employer and how hard I had worked, I knew I had to recover, to get restored,” he says. “I looked at this as an opportunity, rather than a penalty. This was very much about clearing space for me.”
At the executive level, even a very efficient and successful job search may be quite lengthy. It makes sense to spend that time in an enriching and productive manner. These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds. How you’ll look back on a period of unemployment depends on what you do with it.

通过语音和词汇提高英语六级听力
[ 07/10/07 18:34 | by admin ]
07/10/07 18:34 | by admin ]
一、 语言因素在听力中的运用
听力理解可分为字面理解和深层理解。要做到字面理解，就必须具备一定的语音知识、一定的词汇知识和一定的语法知识。也只有在理解字面意思的基础上才有可能对听力材料进行深层次的理解，所以语言因素是听力理解的基础。我们常提到的语言因素包括：
1、语音知识
听力不同于阅读，要求同学们必须具备准确辨音的能力，这是口头交际的基础。在正确掌握每个单词的发音的同时，必须注意以下几个方面：
（1)Q: What is the womans comment on the mans paper? (1996.1)
A. The ideas of the paper are not convincing.
B. Some parts of the paper are not well written.
C. The handwriting of the paper is not good.
D. The paper is not complete.
本题考查的是同学们对虚拟语气句子的理解，答案是B。）英语中最小对立体的发音，如ship---sheep, cheap ----
chip, pig ---peg, sack ---sock等，有针对性地进行发音训练，比如绕口令之类的练习，如She sells sea cells by the
seashore. If she sells sea cells by the seashore, then she
sells seashore cells，适当加强一些针对性的听力练习。
（2）重读与弱读：
汉语是一个汉字一个音节，而英语中的一个单词可能就有好多音节，这就造成了英汉节奏的差别。而英语中的一些虚词一般要弱读，这有可能会给听力造成一定的困难。对此也应该进行专项训练。如：
Whats the time? Sing us a song. Ive eaten them all. He
has already visited a great number of different places in
Australia.(红体部分的音节重读)
（3）连读：连读时语速加快，连读的单词之间没有了间隔，会给理解带来困难。
如： in ˇor ˇout, yearˇ in and year ˇout, for ˇan ˇhour
（4）意群：
听力时不能一个单词一个单词地去理解，应该注意意群，因为意群之间间隔之处正是停顿之处，注意下列语句朗读时停顿的差别：
John said, " My father is here."
"John," said my father, "is here."
She likes pineapples.
She likes pie and apples.
He sold his houseboat and trailer.
He sold his house, boat, and trailer.
（5）注意同音字：有些单词发音相同，也可能给听力理解带来困难。
如： What is black and white, and read (red) all over?
这里在听的时候，很难分请是read还是red。
（6）语调：
语调是说话者表达情感的一种手段，同样一个句子如果语调不同，则意思就有可能发生变化，如：
Open the door, will you?↗
Open the door, wont you?↘
用声调表示一种请求，用降调表示命令。
What? ↗What?↘↗升调表示疑问，降升表示吃惊和不相信。
测试中同样有可能考查语调的作用，如：
① W: Where do you want to eat?
M: Is there anything wrong with the↘ coffee shop?
Q: What does the man mean?
A. He wonders if anything happened at the coffee shop.
B. He doesnt know why the coffee tastes bad.
C. He only wants coffee because he isnt happy.
D. He thinks that they ought to go to the coffee shop.
一般疑问句，却用了降调，表示出说话者愿意去咖啡馆的肯定态度，答案应是D。
② M: Im terribly sorry Im late, but I just couldnt
help it.
I got there as soon as I could.
W: Well, its not soon enough, ↘is it?
Q: What does the woman mean?
A. Its soon enough to get here.
B. Its not soon enough to get here.
C. Its not late to get here.
D. Its early enough to get here.
降调的使用,说明说话人坚信第一部分说的是事实，由此可以判断答案为B。

英语六级写作应该注意的误区
[ 07/10/07 13:27 | by admin ]
07/10/07 13:27 | by admin ]
误区Ⅰ 使用句型太复杂以致出错
小作文的写作强调的是内容连贯，句子通顺，语言流畅，并且句子与句子之间能够用恰当的关联词衔接起来，并不要求写出多复杂的句子。但有些考生理解为只有句子长了，所用的从句多了才更纯正，所以使用各种从句分词等，致使文章言不达意，错误百出，效果适得其反。
误区Ⅱ 加入太多的想象成分，使内容细节过多，文章冗长。
学生在写作中的一大担心就是文章的长度不够，再加上对于“可适当增减细节，不可字对字的翻译”的误解，于是加入了很多离题较远的细节，乱了主题。不可字对字其实只要求学生不可简单照译，并非不可翻译。学生只要在理解写作要求的基础上以翻译为主，在要点之间加上简练恰当与必要的关联词和关联句即可。翻译要点可直译也可意译，但要恰当准确，用已学过的词语与句型，切不可生搬硬造。
误区Ⅲ 书写不规范造成大量失分。
由于该卷的主观性，作文的卷面分往往不只1、2分。因此写作的规范与书法非常重要，甚至所用墨水的颜色也应列入考虑之列，比如，浅色的墨水或油笔写出的字就显得乱，而深色的如碳素墨水则给人以整齐美观的印象。这里介绍几个应注意的地方。
1.好的开头和结尾。
由于评卷人的主观性，好的开头与结尾往往给人以好的印象。一般开头不要写得太罗嗦，要找着恰当的切入点，快速入题，简洁明快。结尾同样不拖泥带水，最好还能适当评论，写出点睛之笔。
2.用好关联词。
在写作的过程中，以下关联词的应用非常关键。比如，表并列的and，besides，as well as，in addition to，not only…but also，when，表递进的furthermore，what's more，what's worse，表转折的but，while，on the contrary，on the other hand，however，表选择的either…or…，whether…or…，otherwise等。有了这些词的连接，就会使文章变得语句通顺，层次清楚，有声有色，考生勿需用很多的复合句也能让评卷人感觉到你的水平不同一般。
3.用好标点符号、大小写，安排好段落。
如果是汉语作文，学生大多注意标点符号，但写英语时一些考生就不够认真。一篇文章下来一逗到底，没有标点的变化，没有大小写，没有段落划分（一般以两段为宜），让人一看就烦，更不要说得到好的分数。
4.用好情感词语。
任何文章都有自己的观点，英语小作文也不例外。考生应注意用一些能反映自己观点的词，否则文章就很干瘪，没有韵味。没有人愿意读没有感情的作文。
5.书写清楚，整洁，规范。
小作文的写作强调的是内容连贯，句子通顺，语言流畅，并且句子与句子之间能够用恰当的关联词衔接起来，并不要求写出多复杂的句子。但有些考生理解为只有句子长了，所用的从句多了才更纯正，所以使用各种从句分词等，致使文章言不达意，错误百出，效果适得其反。
误区Ⅱ 加入太多的想象成分，使内容细节过多，文章冗长。
学生在写作中的一大担心就是文章的长度不够，再加上对于“可适当增减细节，不可字对字的翻译”的误解，于是加入了很多离题较远的细节，乱了主题。不可字对字其实只要求学生不可简单照译，并非不可翻译。学生只要在理解写作要求的基础上以翻译为主，在要点之间加上简练恰当与必要的关联词和关联句即可。翻译要点可直译也可意译，但要恰当准确，用已学过的词语与句型，切不可生搬硬造。
误区Ⅲ 书写不规范造成大量失分。
由于该卷的主观性，作文的卷面分往往不只1、2分。因此写作的规范与书法非常重要，甚至所用墨水的颜色也应列入考虑之列，比如，浅色的墨水或油笔写出的字就显得乱，而深色的如碳素墨水则给人以整齐美观的印象。这里介绍几个应注意的地方。
1.好的开头和结尾。

英语六级写作书信的写法
[ 07/10/07 13:13 | by admin ]
07/10/07 13:13 | by admin ]
英文书信一般包括六个部分：
信头------------------------- 写信人的地址和日期
收信人内文地址-------- 收信人的姓名及地址
称呼----------------------- 对收信人的称谓语，写在内文地址以下两行
正文-------------------------写信人的身份及写信目的
结束客套语----------------信尾谦辞
签名
◆称谓（Salutation）
这儿指写信人对收信人的称谓。从左边顶格写起，自成一行，比信内地址低两行。其开头词和专有名词的第一个字母还应大写。称谓后，英国人喜用逗号，而美国人则用冒号。
“Dear” 的用法：
最常见的是用Dear + （头衔）姓或名，如：Dear Professor Chen, Dear Mr. Alan 或Dear Isabel, 也就是在Mr., Mrs, Miss, Ms, Prof., Dr. 等后只用姓，不用名字。如果关系比较亲密，可用My Dear…。
给某个机构或你不认识的人写信，则按如下称呼写：
Dear Sir, Dear Sirs, Sirs, Gentlemen, Dear Madame,
Ladies or Madame, To Whom It May Concern.
写给政府各部门首长，如参议员、法官、大使、市长等可用Hon. （Honorable 阁下的缩写），表示尊重。
◆正文（Body）
正文是书信的主要部分。通常在低于称呼一行处写起，每段开头要向后缩进五到八个字母。正文从内容结构上一般包括：
写信人的身份及写信目的------------位于开头部分，一般是寒暄或点明写信的目的；要写得贴切、热情、恰如其分。
写信人的想法，请求等细节--------位于中间部分，叙述一封信的主要内容，要求写得具体明了，直截了当
向收信人表示谢意、希望等---------位于结尾部分，通常写一些表示祝愿、问候、感谢等结束敬语或希望之类的话语。
