阅读文章，回答下列各题： Some people seem to have a knack(诀窍) for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary, mas-ter rules of grammar, and learn to writein the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to beany cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them？Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we maydiscover a few techniques which make language learn-ing easier for them. Firstly, successful language learners areindependent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teach-er; they drather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacherto explain everything.They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and themeaning of the new word by themselves. They are good guessers. They look forclues and form. their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes. Besides,successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learnersdo not wait for achance to use the language; they look for such a chance. Theyfind people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct themwhenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are notafraid to repeat; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. Whencommunication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact orincomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language thanto know every word s meaning. Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learnthe language because they have an interest in the language and the people whospeak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicatewith these people and to learn from them. Successful language learners are independent, so successful learners __________ A．depend on the book or theteacher B．wait for the teacher toexplain everything C．learn from their mistakes D．discover their own way tolearn languages

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN A COVER LETTER？

A cover letter is a letter of introduction sent along with a résumé or curriculum vitae (CV). How do you write a successful cover letter？ Bear these points in mind, and you'll always make a great impression.

Keep your cover letter brief and to the point. Writing more than one page is usually unnecessary. If it is sent in an email, writing three short paragraphs is quite sufficient.

Explain why you are sending a résumé. Don't make the reader guess what you are asking for.

Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization – a flyer posted in your department, a web site, a family friend who works at the organization, etc.

Convince the reader to look at your résumé. The cover letter will be seen first. Therefore, it must be very well written and targeted to that employer.

Call attention to your background – education, leadership, experience – that is relevant to the position you are seeking.

Provide any information specifically requested in the job advertisement that might not be covered in your résumé, such as availability date, or references.

189. What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now？ We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair？ This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. [共5题]

W: Why don't you try house-sitting？ Last summer Cindy was a house sitter for the Smiths when they went away on vacation. They hired Cindy to stay in their house because they didn't want it left empty.

M: You mean they paid Cindy just to live in their house？

W: It wasn't that easy. She had to water the house plants, mow the lawn, and even take care of the pets.

M: I guess it is a little like baby-sitting, except you're taking care of a house instead of children.

W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.

M: Do I just have to fill oat an application？

W: You have to have an interview with the homeowner and provide three references at least.

M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.

W: Well, the homeowner wants some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know they want to make sure you're not the type who'll hold wild parties in their house, or bring a group of friends in with you.

M: I see. House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren't paid then.

W: Usually they're paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reports it, the house sitter won't be able to get another job easily. So why don't you apply？

M: I think I will. Thank you.

A man who knows a bit about carpentry (木工术) will make his table more quickly than the man who does not. If the instructions are not very clear, or the shape of a piece is puzzling his experience helps him to conclude that it must fit there, or that its function must be that. In the same way, the reader's sense and experience helps him to predict what the writer is likely to ,say next; that he must be going to say this rather than that. A reader who can think along with the writer in this way will find the text.

This skill is so useful that you may wish to make your students aware of it so that they can use it to tackle difficult texts. It does seem to be the case that as we read we make hypotheses (假设) about what the writer intends to say; these are immediately modified by what he actually does say, and are replaced by new hypotheses about what will follow. We have all had the experience of believing we were understanding a text until suddenly brought to a halt by some word or phrase that would not fit into the pattern and forced us to reread and readjust our thoughts. Such occurrences lend support to the notion of reading as a constant making and remaking of hypotheses.

If you are interested in finding out how far this idea accords with (符合) practice, you may like to try out the text and questions. To do so, take a piece of card and use it to mask the text. Move it down the page, revealing only one

t a time. Answer the question before you go on to look at the next section. Check your prediction against what the text actually says, and use the new knowledge to improve your next prediction. You will need to look back to earlier parts of the text if you are to make accurate prediction, for you must keep in mind the general organization of the argument as well as the detail within each sentence. If you have tried this out, you have probably been interested to find how much you can predict, though naturally we should not expect to be right every time -- otherwise there would be no need for us to read.

Conscious use of this technique can be helpful when we are faced with a part of the text that we find difficult: if we can see the overall pattern of the text, and the way the argument is organized, we can make a reasoned guess at the next step. Having an idea of what something might mean can be a great help in interpreting it.

The author uses the examples of carpentry and reading to show______.

A．the importance of making prediction

B．the similarity in using one's senses

C．the necessity of making use of one's knowledge

D．the most effective method in doing anything

Common Problems, Common Solutions

The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided it's not for you.

The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers — there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, and get along with them very well.

And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and non-smokers — or you wouldn't be reading this.

And those three things make you incredibly(难以置信的) important today.

Because they mean that yours is the voice — not the smoker's and not the anti-smoker's — that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.

For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion(转移) of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent(卓越的) health organization, to cite(引证) but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on "education" (much of it in antismoking propaganda)and only 2 cents on research.

There will always be some who want to build wails, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice.

But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greatest number who know that walls are only temporary(暂时的) at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interest better by working together in mutual accommodation.

Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.

What does the word "wall" used in the passage mean？

A．Anti-smoking propaganda.

B．Diseases striking nonsmokers as well as smokers.

C．Rules and regulations that prohibit smoking.

D．Separation of smokers from nonsmokers.
