But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.

Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness.

B．wild weeds among good plants

C．the information from the parents

year college students and nearly 75% of 2-year college students lack the ability to figure out a tip, compare prices or even balance a checkbook. There's been an assumption out there that college students are graduating with ascertained level of what we do expect proficient skills. In this study really shows that some of those assumptions may not be correct. But the problem researchers say is the majority of them can't comprehend when they just read.Some students say they are not surprised by the results and colleges need to do more to better prepare them. It's irresponsible and negation for colleges just be able to put their name in the university of people's degrees and send the people to workforce when they're unprepared and unskilled.

h school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.

Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.

Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There are usually many kinds of classes to choose from, foreign cooking, auto repair, or furniture repair. These are only some of the classes available.

Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. For example, they can choose a class in almost any language as a second language. There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing. There are also many other types of classes to choose from.

Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes or classes in nutrition. Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.

There are many opportunities for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.

Thousands of people register for continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma or certificate, and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.

Some adults go to continuing education classes to ______.

A．get a college education

B．learn new skills

C．get a certificate

D．earn grades

we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but her grades are slipping and no matter how I urge her to study. All she seems interested in are clothes and boys. We're not wealthy, you know. And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship. Is going to college the best choice for her right now？

M: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college？ Then you'd better have a serious talk with her about college. To my mind it's quite normal for girls of her age to show a lot of interests in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too. You should ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing to work for it. Jane may be much firmer than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously. And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job or take classes at a community college. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.

W: Sounds like a good idea.

What's the woman's problem？

A．Her daughter shows no interest in going to college.

B．Her daughter is not interested in her studies and has poor grades.

C．Her daughter does not think going to college: is the best choice for her.

D．Her daughter wants to get a job.

eal college. Well...uh...An ideal college should be a community, a place of close, natural, intimate association, not only of the young men who are its pupils and novices in various lines of study, but also of young men with older men, with mature men, with veterans and professionals in the great undertaking of learning, of teachers with pupils, outside the classroom as well as inside it. No one is successfully educated within the walls of any particular classroom or laboratory or museum; and no amount of association, however close and familiar and delightful, between mere beginners can ever produce the sort of enlightenment which the young lad gets when he first begins to catch the infection of learning. The trouble with most of our colleges nowadays is that the faculty of the college live one life and the undergraduates is not touched with personal influence of the teachers: life among the teachers is not touched by the personal impressions which should come from frequent and intimate contact with undergraduates. This separation need not exist, and, in the college of the ideal university, would not exist. It is perfectly possible to organize the life of our colleges in such a way that students and teachers alike will take part in it; in such a way that a perfectly natural daily intercourse will be established between them; and it is only by such an organization that they can be given real vitality as places of serious training, be made communities in which youngsters will come fully to realize how interesting intellectual work is, how vital, how important, how closely associated with all modern achievements—only by such an organization that study can be made to seem part of life itself. Lectures often seem very formal and empty things; recitations generally prove very dull and unrewarding. It is conversation and natural intercourse with scholars chiefly that you find how lively knowledge is, how it ties into everything that is interesting and important, how intimate a part it is of everything that is "practical" and connected with the world. Men are not always made thoughtful by books; but they are generally made thoughtful by association with men who think. The present and most pressing problem of our university authorities is to bring about this vital association for the benefit of the novices of the university world, the undergraduates. Classroom methods are thorough enough; competent scholars already lecture and set tasks and superintend their performance; but the life of the average undergraduate outside the classroom and other stated appointments with his instructors is not very much affected by his studies; is almost entirely dissociated from intellectual interests.Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in an education class. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

What is an ideal college？

A．It should provide experienced and professional men.

B．It should be managed by experienced scholars.

C．Experienced scholars and energetic young men will manage it.

D．It should be harmonious between the experienced and the inexperience

your preparations for the entrance exam？

M: Well, I really can't tell. Anyhow, I'm doing my best, working night and day.

W: So am I. Sometimes, I feel very tired, both physically and mentally.

M: I feel the same. I often suffer from headaches and general weakness. Not enough time for sleeping. I don't know what will become of me if it goes on like this for long.

W: And no time for sports, even music, not to mention films or TV programs. All we can see is exercises, exam papers and this sort of things.

M: It seems that to go to college is the only future we have.

W: Certainly not. Even if we can't go to college, we can take up many other jobs and do our bits for the society as well.

M: Quite right. But we'll get more knowledge after studying several years at college. That means we can work better for our country and people after graduation. In addition our parents lay great hope on us, and we shouldn't make them feel disappointed.

Who are the two speakers？

A．They are students preparing for the coming college entrance exam.

B．They are students preparing for the final exams.

C．They are colleagues.

es of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me.

Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party.

have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort when we work. Today's corporations hire human engineering specialists and spend a great deal of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants.

Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking. We will move into the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you will step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious: Everything important comes from the teacher.

With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchanges among students. In small or standard-size classes, chairs, desks and tables can be arranged in different ways: circles, U-shapes, or semicircles. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility.

Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with moveable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form. groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out hard, and see how other students' thinking processes operate all these are the most important elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.

In course that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. He then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from then on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students' names and faces.

The expression "step back in time at least a hundred years" (Para.2) is intended to convey the idea that

A．college classrooms often remind people of their college life.

B．critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago.

C．a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different.

D．there is not much change in the college educational idea over the past hundred years.

Laptop(便携式) computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and air planes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 100-year-old access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use E-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast food restaurant or under the tree -- anywhere at all!

Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as, colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable (可携带的) Internet, but also libraries and other re sources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. States officials al so are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window to the world. They can see everything and do every thing."

The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ______.

A．use for their schoolwork

B．get access to the Internet

C．work at home

D．connect them to libraries
