"新細明體","serif";">分</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">老實說我覺得托福考試並不是一個信度很好的考試</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">因為受試者很容易會被考試環境而干擾而影響考試表現</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">我的英文雖然不是頂尖</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但大學指考和學測也都考得還不錯</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然而第一次考試出來分數卻只有連一般語言學校標準都達不到的</span><span lang="EN-US">71</span><span style="font-family:

"新細明體","serif";">其實我並沒有像第一次考試一樣花很多時間在準備</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">因為那時已經開學</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">有很多課業和考試</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">加上中間</span><span lang="EN-US">10</span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">月還要考</span><span lang="EN-US">GRE</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但我考完第一次後就好好好分析自己考砸的原因</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">首先因為自己是考試當下比較容易緊張和不適應環境的人</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然而第一次考試雖然我很認真的將</span><span lang="EN-US">Longman</span><span style="font-family:

class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但這當中其實有很大的問題</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">就是其實對於電腦考試軟體和形式我並沒有徹底摸熟</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">以至於到考試時我卻連指示語後就是題目</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">甚至閱讀是先</span><span lang="EN-US">20</span><span style="font-family:

"新細明體","serif";">當我考到聽力時</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">旁人開始劈哩啪拉的說</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">導致我沒法專心聽和思考</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然後試務人員一直走過來關心我這邊的進度</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">讓我考試時的聽力大受影響</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">於是第一次的托福就在一片混亂中結束</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:

lang="EN-US">http://www.earthsky.org/</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">真的很推薦那個網站</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">因為他也是像托福考試一樣在介紹一個科學主題</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">有邏輯且架構存在</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">且講話速度也跟托福差不多</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">而且第一次考完托福後發現</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:

"新細明體","serif";">你可以去看看自己哪一類的知識或單字認識比較少</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然後多去接觸那方面的文章</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">例如我對天文知識很淺薄</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">所以我在</span><span lang="EN-US">earth and sky</span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">幾乎都下載天文類的文章</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">其實聽力有時候並不是那些文章使用單字特別難</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">而是你對那個主題不暸解</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">或是聽到一些專有名詞就被嚇傻</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">以致</span><span lang="EN-US">top-down process</span><span style="font-family:

"新細明體","serif";">還有就是運氣好像也很重要</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">因為第一次考試我的題目很多天文</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">藝術</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">建築</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">考古類</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">等我較沒涉獵的主題</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">而第二次考試考得生物類心理類較多</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">這兩主題我都常常涉獵</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然後就是我在這兩個月</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">因為壓力太大</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">所以讓我每天為放鬆心情都看影集</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">我將</span><span lang="EN-US">Grey's Anatomy</span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">的第一二季都看完</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">雖然沒有特地為了學語言才去看之類的</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但漸漸我發現因為對影片中內容有興趣</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">所以我有時會特別去聽他在說什麼</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">去學他說或查我不懂的單字</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">而且越看越能聽懂他所講的話</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span></span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">到後來也常常學旁白在路上用英文自言自語</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">所以我認為學習語言那個動機和興趣也是非常重要的</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">如果只為考試而學</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">我覺得永遠也無法把語言學好</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">畢竟語言只是一個幫助應用到生活上的溝通工具</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">然後就是建議準備托福的第一件事</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">就是好好摸熟托福的軟體和題型</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">在考托福的兩個星期前</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">我每天唯一會做的事</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">就是花兩三個小時做ㄧ次模擬考試</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">尤其是閱讀的部份</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">閱讀能力並不是短時間能訓練</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但是多做電腦閱讀練習在某些程度上能讓你在閱讀時的時間點掌控會更好</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但我每天可能只會把模擬考的閱讀和聽力做完</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">閱讀要訓練自己能盯著螢幕專心且控制時間的答題作業</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">掌控那個時間感</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">聽力則是訓練自己要能專心耐心的將聽到的東西做成筆記</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">做筆記很重要</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">縱使聽不懂也要寫下來</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">可以幫助猜題和紀錄細節</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">也能比較專心</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">推薦</span><span lang="EN-US">Cambridge</span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">出的軟體介面擬真度很高</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">可以幫助你熟悉考試方法</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">網路上的</span><span lang="EN-US">Kaplan </span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">或</span><span lang="EN-US">Preston </span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">也可以下載來做電腦練習</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">也不要因為模擬考不好就灰心</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">我自己在模擬考試</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">大概只能答對六七成</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">還有</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">有時候是你文章看得懂或聽得懂</span> <span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">但你卻不能正確的選到最正確的答案</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">所以做模擬題也能訓練自己一些答題時的技巧思考</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">熟悉電腦軟體</span><span lang="EN-US">.</span><span style="font-family: "新細明體","serif";">考試方式和題型真的是最重要的事</span><span lang="EN-US"> !!!!!!</span></p> <p

哈佛2004年在前校長桑莫斯任內,開始實施低收入家庭學生優惠政策,家庭年所得低於4萬美元的學生免收學費,目前金額已調整為6萬美元。 </p><p> </p><p> 根據哈佛新的財務補助規定,家庭收入在6萬美元至12萬美元之間的學生,須繳交家庭收入一定百分比的學費,最高以10%為限。家庭收入在12萬美元至18萬美元者,必須付家庭收入10%的學費。 </p><p> </p><p> 哈佛學生如繳付全額學費和食宿費,每年費用約4萬5620元,是相當大的負擔,許多學生依賴學生貸款。根據官方統計,美國2006年的家庭平均收入是4萬8200美元。 </p><p> </p><p> 哈佛表示,審核學生財務補助申請時,將不把房屋淨值計算在家庭財富內,這將使受惠家庭更多。大體而言,家庭年收入12萬美元的學生,明年將付1萬2000 美元學費,比根據助學辦法應繳的1萬9000美元減少7000美元。家庭收入18萬元美者將付1萬8000美元,比目前的3萬美元減少1萬2000美元。 </p><p> </p><p> 哈佛10日並宣布取消學生貸款,改以助學金方式補助學生,校方每年將因此增加2200萬美元支出,使助學支出從9800萬美元增至1億2000萬美元。至今年6月30日止,哈佛擁有349億美元 (台幣1兆1281億)辦學基金。 </p><p> </p><p> 近年來,美國不少財力雄厚的精英私立大學都採取行動,減少學生的學費負擔,設法改變「這類大學讀不起」的印象,哈佛的做法是最新的跟進措施。 </p><p> </p><p> 哈佛表示,新措施在使學生來源更多元化,並讓受補助學生有更多時間從事研究、實習、課外活動、海外研習等。不過也有教育界人士懷疑,哈佛的做法是否能使申請、就讀人數增加,因為能被哈佛錄取的學生,就算負擔再重、要貸款都會去念。 </p><p> </p><p> 【2007/12/12 聯合報】 </p></td></tr></tbody></table>iBT study

之 第二槍Sigmund Freud, born Sigismund Schlomo Freud (May 6, 1856 – September 23, 1939), was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind, especially involving the mechanism of repression; his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life, directed toward a wide variety of objects; and his therapeutic techniques, especially his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship and the presumed value of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires.<br />He is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his work has been highly influential — popularizing such notions as the unconscious, the Oedipus complex, defense mechanisms, Freudian slips and dream symbolism—while also making a long-lasting impact on fields as diverse as literature, film, Marxist and feminist theories, and psychology. However, his theories remain controversial and disputed by numerous critics, such as author Richard Webster, who characterized Freud's work as a "complex pseudo-science.<br />Psychosexual development<br />Freud hoped to prove that his model was universally valid and thus turned to ancient mythology and contemporary ethnography for comparative material. Freud named his new theory the Oedipus complex after the famous Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. "I found in myself a constant love for my mother, and jealousy of my father. I now consider this to be a universal event in childhood," Freud said. Freud sought to anchor this pattern of development in the dynamics of the mind. Each stage is a progression into adult sexual maturity, characterized by a strong ego and the ability to delay gratification (cf. Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality). He used the Oedipus conflict to point out how much he believed that people desire incest and must repress that desire. The Oedipus conflict was described as a state of psychosexual development and awareness. He also turned to anthropological studies of totemism and argued that totemism reflected a ritualized enactment of a tribal Oedipal conflict.<br />Freud originally posited childhood sexual abuse as a general explanation for the origin of neuroses, but he abandoned this so-called "seduction theory" as insufficiently explanatory, noting that he had found many cases in which apparent memories of childhood sexual abuse were based more on imagination than on real events. During the late 1890s Freud, who never abandoned his belief in the sexual etiology of neuroses, began to emphasize fantasies built around the Oedipus complex as the primary cause of hysteria and other neurotic symptoms. Despite this change in his explanatory model, Freud always recognized that some neurotics had been sexually abused by their fathers, and was quite explicit about discussing several patients whom he knew to have been abused.[15]<br />Freud also believed that the libido developed in individuals by changing its object, a process codified by the concept of sublimation. He argued that humans are born "polymorphously perverse", meaning that any number of objects could be a source of pleasure. He further argued that, as humans develop, they become fixated on different and specific objects through their stages of development—first in the oral stage (exemplified by an infant's pleasure in nursing), then in the anal stage (exemplified by a toddler's pleasure in evacuating his or her bowels), then in the phallic stage. Freud argued that children then passed through a stage in which they fixated on the mother as a sexual object (known as the Oedipus Complex) but that the child eventually overcame and repressed this desire because of its taboo nature. (The lesser known Electra complex refers to such a fixation on the father.) The repressive or dormant latency stage of psychosexual development preceded the sexually mature genital stage of psychosexual development.<br />Freud's way of interpretation has been called phallocentric by many contemporary thinkers. This is because, for Freud, the unconscious always desires the phallus (penis). Males are afraid of castration - losing their phallus or masculinity to another male. Females always desire to have a phallus - an unfulfillable desire. Thus boys resent their fathers (fear of castration) and girls desire theirs. For Freud, desire is always defined in the negative term of lack - you always desire what you don't have or what you are not, and it is very unlikely that you will fulfill this desire. Thus his psychoanalysis treatment is meant to teach the patient to cope with his or her insatiable desires.Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04321514726092810766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-17989302755413507442007-12-08T17:45:00.000+08:002007-12-08T18:34:43.217+08:00提到心理學~~必提到佛洛依德先生<span style="color:#000000;">增加背景知識~~(小畢老師說阿~~口說的文章80%是心理學~所以我們也來個亂槍打鳥第一槍~~心理學最為人所知的的性學講師~~~佛洛伊德~~)</span><br />Freud 的基本理論都是以性就啟發~~指的是SEX DESIRE~~所以假如你不幸考到這篇文章~~~<br />基本上腦子裡要出現的是~~GENDER ~~SEX~~~這兩個字~~還有libido (性慾)大概就不遠之~~<br />下面我寫中文的是重點~~英文就是看看吧~~重點的專業單字~~我已寫在中文裡ㄌ~~~<br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Freud是(the father of psychoanalysis)心理分析之父(有部分的書籍稱之),而他所發表的文章以及理論都具有一定的影響力及爭論性~~</span><br />其中最有名的以及在各大心理學書籍一定會提及的是Psychosexual development !!!!<br />他將自身小時的經驗套用(I found in myself a constant love for my mother, and jealousy of my father.

/>本來我閱讀可以做得很好的,可是考試時很緊張,還遇到那麼多詞彙題。很鬱悶的說。平時我做barron的時候,還有幾次全對的時候呢。<br />我 覺得短期突破還是按照OG上的出題方式來,ETS考的是邏輯。在十一期間,我把OG的閱讀的十種出題方式看了一遍,總結到自己的筆記本上。先集中幾天練習 閱讀,看自己是否真正理解了這幾種題型。其實只要你理解了出題方式,那麼你就會做得很好,因為考試時都差不多告訴你答案在什麼地方了,會用箭頭標註出來。 恩,在你覺得自己已經可以應對了,不是錯很多了,並且錯的題目你都知道怎麼錯以後。閱讀就不是重點了,你可以花時間做別的訓練了。但是,你還是要每天抽出 一個半小時來,三篇閱讀,是自己每天都有語感,保持也很重要。<br />小TIPs:<br />1.閱讀的時候找準閱讀區間很重要,一道題只要不是 according to the passage,答案不會離開這個段落。但是10.28的考試,確實有幾個題目是according to parapgraph 1 and paragraph 2, 這時候,你得根據題目來判斷了。<br />2.一定要練習速度,有時間一定多背單詞。這次考試我就遇見了好多生詞不會,鬱悶死了。<br /><br />聽力:<br />其實聽力不應該是大家認為難的一部分。大家覺得難,主要是:背景不瞭解,語速問題,記筆記以及整體理解文章,梳理思路,順著文章思路合理預測,判斷出題點掌握不好的問題。如果原來聽力不是很好的孩子,建議如下:<br />一 定要讓自己的耳朵快速熟悉高語速。如果有時間,還是集中時間至少聽半個月的apnews, scientific american 60s,voa,都是標準的美語,很好聽。練習耐力要用scientific american的sa_podcast,一整就是半個小時的訪談,遍及天文、地理、醫藥、文學。據說ETS也會參考上面的材料,也實用的。<br />http://www.sciam.com/<br />耳朵熟悉了之後,看OG,看出題類型,只要你看到一道題,會判斷是六種題型中的哪道,並且知道如何作答就可以了。<br />接下來,有時間的話,可以聽聽舊托2000年之後的段子,以前的很慢,值不得聽。沒時間就算了,直接模考barron會有點困難,那就從longman開始<br />吧。 我沒聽過longman,不是我鄙視它簡單,我下載下來,死活安裝不上,於是我就放棄了。題不在多,你要做一篇都有收穫,為什麼錯,如何改進,只要你錯的 題目越來越少就好了。longman,delta,barron,kaplen,難度遞增。delta語速很快,但是題目很白痴,基本上聽不明白也會<br />做題。所以,可以把delta作為訓練耳朵的材料,不做題也可以。但是barron7套和kaplen4套值得研究一下。<br />小TIPs:<br />一定要沒事就灌耳朵,我連睡覺的時候都是在英語的催眠下的。尤其是要一天至少四個小時的快速耳朵訓練。每天都不放鬆。<br /><br />口語:<br />只要你的發音不是很難聽,別人能聽懂——最好自己背段小材料,別人能至少90%聽懂——基本上就沒問題了。<br />不 過,這是個很好的開端。我覺得口語至少提前半個月準備,每天兩個小時,獨立口語至少練習100道。在此推薦大家把近幾年的獨立口語部分拿出來練習。多練習 最保險的方法。我每天七點爬起來,讀到10點,讀加背自己的口語材料。再遇到題目的時候,就可以隨口說出至少三個理由了。相信自己,這是因為你腦子裡的貨 多了。<br />Q3-Q6就可以一個星期搞定了。因為在此之前,你的嘴巴因為獨立口語部分的訓練已經足夠快。先看OG,反覆聽給的high- level的例子,看人家是怎麼說的。然後你的任務是,用半天的時間把Q3-Q6的幾經,分別每題都整理出來。分析考題你會發現:Q3都是閱讀一個段子, 聽力就是兩個討論,一般是MM不同意閱讀段子,給兩個理由,很標準的。其餘題目你也會自己總結了。然後,你就用半天時間總結出一個自己的模版,每天對著機 經,狂練習模版的使用。到了一定程度,一般一種20題,你就不用看模版,順其自然就念出了答案。後面,你還可以自己組織語言,越念越快。一週時間絕對夠 用,我就用了不到一週時間。<br />小TIPs:<br />1.口語除了平時積累素材外,重要的還有聽力功底和記筆記能力。這個應該是你聽力時積累的。記筆 記這部分要注重全、細。防止你答題時打不出來完整的句子,不能舉出來詳細的例子來說明問題。口語Q3-Q6只有Q5是需要你自己觀點的,其餘都沒有。所 以,越詳細的說明你聽到的,就越容易拿高分數的。<br />2.考試的時候一定看清題目。這次考試,Q5是MM出問題了,GG給了點意見。我當時很悔,沒太聽清。可是題目就是讓陳述MM的問題,然後給自己的意見。我完全不用理會GG的建議,照樣可以說啊。<br /><br />作文:<br /><br />綜合作文部分:<br />綜合作文部分不必要練習很多篇,你要保證質量。首先,先看OG,限定時間,練習後,對照OG給的答案和自己寫的區別。關鍵看,OG上high-level的例子,都是聽力中很關鍵的點的提煉。主要的區別要<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">明確</span>寫 出來,還要有一定的細節。三個反對的點要均衡寫。否則在一個點上寫多了,就會影響其餘部分的寫作。還要注意,把聽力和reading material中的對立點寫出來,而且明確指明:They are totally different。這部分的關鍵還是記筆記的能力。和口語有點類似。<br />小TIPs:<br />1.記完筆記後,一定自己先把三個點組織好。我考試時就吃虧了。本來三個點聽清了,可是沒組織,紙上都是單個的單詞,結果我寫過兩個點後,再想寫第三個點,再看筆記已經不知道自己寫的什麼了。<br />2.和口語一樣,對著幾經練習幾篇,是為了練習組織語言能力和運用模版。一定要練習,直到自己能將很零散的記憶規整起來。<br /><br />獨立作文部分:<br />獨立作文,我沒有什麼太多經驗,之前自己練習沒超過5篇。但是我覺得有個「模版」挺重要的。不是讓你作文都按模板寫。模版是給你組織思維過程的。<br />http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=68&ID=137270&page=2<br />覺得這個傢伙寫得不錯,讓我冒昧的借用一下。<br />我的模版基本上是:<br />Currently, our society/ School/Citizens confront two options/choices. One is to.... And the other is to..... Personally speaking , I side with the former/later one. Of the countless reasons, I will present the most consepicuous ones here.<br /><br />The <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">first</span> plain truth, I am pesenting here, is that doing *** is instrumental to....<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Furthermore</span>, under my preference lies <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">another equally important</span> fact that doing *** also can...<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">In addition</span>, doing *** has<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> other </span>benefits. For example,.....<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Admittedly</span>, donig *** has some undeniable demirits, such as.... However, its advantages carry more weight than doing ###(觀點的對立點), and the case is rare and too weak to weaken my viewpoints.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">In conclusion,</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">despite some minor drawbacks</span>, doing *** is instrumental rather than detrimental to us, No matter in....(第一個理由) , but also in...(第二個理由). So, we are supposed to do ***, no matter how painful or hard it maybe at the moment.<br /><br />大家注意我的模版裡,我喜歡用,是因為這個模版的銜接很好。ETS除了考你說理的能力,還考你組織語言的能力。上面標註的都是讓你的組織變得連貫的關鍵詞。大家可以自己也形成一個自己組織很嚴密的模版。然後在套用一些萬能素材。<br />小TIPs:<br />1.一定積累一定的素材。比如:健康,休閒,有知識,方便,財富,容易成功等等。使用這些素材的時候,按照寫作習慣,應該是先描述現狀,然後有什麼影響,有什麼解決辦法可以解決/實現,然後舉例子(一定要舉例,是在舉不出來,就拿自己說話),得出結論。<br />我拿休閒做個例子吧,這是我在以前寄託上看見一個人寫的,也冒昧的應用一下。<br />Currently, people undergo a large amount of pressure from various directions, including work, school and so forth. Pressure is detrimental to our<br />health and has been one of the biggest problems. It can hurt our personality, health and our relationship with others. Statistical reports from a research center prove that it is hard to find an area that can't trace in some ways to pressure. In order to work effectively, a proportion people to persue all kinds of ways to get rid of pressure. They are traveling to other countries, having parties with friends at weekend, or having long or short vacations. Furthermore, music and TV also make us relax. So, the most striking conclusion is that getting rid of pressure can make us live longer now.<br />你會感覺整個段落多很和諧,沒有什麼冗餘,也沒什麼缺少的。就是按 照人的思路順下來的原因。因為大家想問題也是這麼個過程。先理論,後實例。很容易把ETS的老頭們說服的。所以,大家沒有話可說時,就找個萬能素材,比如 幹什麼可以讓我變得輕鬆,然後你就按照上面的順序,順理成章的說下去。歌劇中間,多用用連接詞:also,and, so, in addition, but,however........這就是conherence和specific,即時是一篇很普通的作文,按照這個思路寫下來,也會是一篇很朴 實,但是又符合要求的作文。<br /><br />好了,我也不是什麼牛人,英語一直都不是強項,只是有點感觸,在一個月的備考中,對iBT有了自己的認識而已。希望對大家有幫助。也祈禱自己可以上80分,我就很開心了。<br /><br />最後,希望後面的戰友們繼續加油,大家一定齊心合力,戰勝iBTiBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-33479394205669600652007-12-04T16:55:00.003+08:002007-12-04T16:55:59.106+08:00挑選類Selection<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="">1.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">雜誌</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">,</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">小說</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">,</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">詩歌</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">,</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">喜歡哪個</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">For me, I like poems the best, because the language is beautiful and so are the ideas.

Firstly, I have to consider the transportation problem. Living on a plain is usually more convenient because the transportation system is more established and advanced. Compared with the forest or desert which is not quite accessible, it’s better to live on a plain where it’s easier for you to move or travel. In addition, the climate on a plain is more agreeable than that in the other two. The forest is too humid, and the desert to dry. So, for these reasons, I’d rather live on a plain.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="">4.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">除了</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">academic programs</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">,還有什麼在你選學校的時候很重要:</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">location, cost…?</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">Besides academic programs, there are two things I would take into consideration when selecting a university.

In addition, part-times and interns enable you to try more kinds of jobs and give you a greater variety to choose from. So, I recommend students taking part-times or interns.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><span style="">6.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">Have a relaxed and unhurried life, yes or no?</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">No, it sounds hedonistic. for one thing, it’s not possible for one to be relaxed forever, some day there will be something urgent happen to you, if you are used to the idol way of life, you are not likely to deal with it efficiently.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">Moreover, giving yourself a little tension helps you to increase your potential.

It is inevitable for one to absorb things from them and change a previous perception. In addition, modern people are more and more independent. They are not easy to be affected by another person. But they might believe what on the media, because these are more factual things. So I think the media influence people more.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><span style="">9.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">人們往往認為應該在危急時刻幫助別人,但另一種觀點認為你首先應該看清楚情況</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">I definitely agree that one should observe before helping others when there is a dangerous situation.

For one thing, it creates more opportunities for the freshmen to make friends with their seniors and gain more knowledge about college life, like information of some professors, school policies, or resources in surrounding area. In addition, it’s also important for the new students to find an example to follow, and these examples are often from the higher grade students. Living with them helps one to know the model student better. So for these reasons, I think it’s beneficial for the freshmen to live with other grades.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>iBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-40949856795549982552007-12-04T16:52:00.000+08:002007-12-04T16:53:40.432+08:00描述類 Description(1)<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><span style="">1.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">說出你認為對你最有用的一本書,並解釋原因。</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; text-indent: 10.5pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">I feel the most useful book is the one called “the 100 thousand why”, a book I read during elementary school. <span style=""> </span>It is a threshold book introducing the most basic common sense to children.

I had to adjust myself to the climate, the dialect, the larger crowd of people and complicate traffic. I also learned to be independent without my parents being around. Moreover, through learning things in the university and making friends with people from all over the county, I developed a receptive attitude and expanded my view of the world.

In my opinion, a café is the ideal place for me and my friends to have some peaceful but tasteful moments.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p><span style="">10.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "新細明體","serif"; color: black;">說出你所居住的城市中你最喜歡的地方,給出原因。</span></b><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; line-height: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">I have lived in Beijing for almost 6 years, and have visited many places in the city.

In one experiment he used a barrel to heat water by <span style="color: red;">rotating</span> a paddle wheel inside the barrel. He measured the work done in turning the wheel and the heat produced in the water, and found that a given amount of work always produced the same amount of heat. Later experiments showed that heat and mechanical energy are always converted back forth in precisely the same ratio. We now know that the same rule is true for all forms of energy. In everyday terms, energy is never lost: When it disappears in one from, it always shows up in an equal amount in another form. This principle- known as <span style="color: maroon;">the law of conservation of energy</span>- is one of the fundamental laws of classical physics and is a very <span style="color: red;">cornerstone</span> of modern science and technology.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span>When it comes to the subject of energy, we should understand why a nation like the <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place> cannot solve its energy problems by operating automobiles on electricity instead of <span style="color: red;">gasoline</span>. It should be clear by now that electrical energy is no easier to come by than the chemical energy in gasoline. Neglecting engine efficiency for the moment, it takes the same amount of energy to move an automobile a given distance regardless of the initial source of that energy. If all our autos ran on electricity, that energy could be supplied only by burning additional <span style="color: red;">fossil</span> or nuclear <span style="color: red;">fuel</span> at our electricity <span style="color: red;">generating plants</span>. It is true, of course, that electric motors are more efficient than gasoline engines. But this advantage might well be <span style="color: red;">offset</span> by the weight of the batteries to be carried about.</span></p>iBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-74259318566070369652007-12-04T00:20:00.001+08:002007-12-04T00:20:28.495+08:00Astronomy-The Galaxies<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Astronomy-The Galaxies</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;" lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">Stars are found in huge groups called <span style="color: red;">galaxies</span>. Scientists estimate that the larger galaxies may contain as many as a trillion stars, while the smallest may have fewer than a million.

In <span style="color: red;">barred spiral galaxies</span>, the arms extend sideways in a short straight line before turning off into the spiral shape. Both kinds of spiral systems are flat. Irregular galaxies are usually rather small and have no particular shape or form.</span></p> <span lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span>Galaxies were long thought to be more or less passive objects, containing stars and <span style="color: red;">interstellar gas</span> and dust and shining by the <span style="color: red;">radiation</span> that their stars give off.

They are formed as part of a natural cycle which begins with deposits of plant and animal remains and fine <span style="color: red;">sediment</span>.

These hydrocarbons often escape to the surface where they may form natural oil seeps or, in the case of gas, simply dissipate. Any hydrocarbons remaining on the surface are soon <span style="color: red;">oxidized</span> by bacteria. Sometimes oil and gas are trapped in deep underground structures which prevent them reaching the surface. They may be trapped underneath curved layers of rock called <span style="color: red;">anticlines</span>, or by faults in the rock. Faults occur when layers of rock split and move, such as in an earthquake or during normal <span style="color: red;">seismic</span> events. The term reservoir can be misleading, giving people the impression of large <span style="color: red;">subterranean</span> lakes full of oil. In fact, oil and gas are trapped within <span style="color: red;">porous</span> sedimentary rocks such as sandstone or shale and ma occupy as little as five percent of the rock volume.</span></p>iBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-1853260887043868882007-12-04T00:04:00.001+08:002007-12-04T00:04:47.394+08:00Biology-Symbiosis<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Biology-Symbiosis</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Close living arrangements between two different species is called <span style="color: red;">symbiosis</span>. The word comes form the Greek word meaning 「state of living together.」 Usually the two organisms are in close physical contact, with one living on or in the other. In some cases, however, the relationship is less intimate. Symbiosis is classified into: <span style="color: red;">mutualism</span> (once called symbiosis), <span style="color: red;">commensalism</span>, and <span style="color: red;">parasitism</span>. These relationships rage from mutually beneficial to harmful, or even fatal, for one of the species.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In mutualism both partners benefit form the relationship. One of the best-known mutual relationships is the one between <span style="color: red;">nitrogen-fixing</span> <span style="color: red;">Rhizobium bacteria</span> and several leguminous plants such as beans, peas, peanuts, and alfalfa.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Human beings, animals, and most plants need <span style="color: red;">nitrogen</span> to survive but cannot <span style="color: red;">metabolize</span> it from the air. Rhizobium bacteria, which live in the soil, enter the roots of legumes and produce nodules, or enlargements, in which they absorb nitrogen form the air and convert it into ammonia. This compound is then converted into some organic form, such as <span style="color: red;">amino acids</span>, which is shared by the bacteria and the host plant. By eating such leguminous plants, other organisms obtain a rich source of nitrogen-bearing <span style="color: red;">compounds</span>. The bacteria, in turn, benefit from the relationship by absorbing from the host plant nutrients that they cannot manufacture themselves.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: red;" lang="EN-US">Lichens</span><span lang="EN-US">, which consist of <span style="color: red;">fungi</span> and <span style="color: red;">algae</span>, are another well-known example of mutualism. Algae receive shelter and a moist environment by dwelling within the fungi. In turn, the algae provide the fungi with food through <span style="color: red;">photosynthesis</span>.</span></p>iBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-57531645472209017572007-12-03T10:53:00.001+08:002007-12-03T10:53:54.765+08:00In climate change, 'change' is the key word<p><strong>Guest post from Jay Gulledge, a senior research fellow and staff scientist at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.</strong></p> <p>With the release of the 4th assessment <a href="http://www.earthsky.org/blog/50980/climate-change-is-it-us">report</a> of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (<span class="caps">IPCC</span>), we are going to see that the science of climate change has progressed rapidly over the past few years and that the scientific community will be willing to make much stronger statements about the causes and effects of climate change than ever before. The report will leave very little doubt about the reality of global warming and its causes, and I expect that it will become the foundation for moving forward on action to curb global warming.</p> <p>In a recent interview on Good Morning America about the unusually balmy weather on the East Coast-it was 65 degrees and drizzling at 6am when I arrived ABC's studios in downtown Washington, DC-Diane Sawyer asked me whether global warming just means balmy winters and January blooms. I replied to the effect that it was nice to see some color in January, but that it represented a disruption to the normal biology of the plants and other organisms that interact with them, and that an ensuing freeze could literally nip them in the bud, leaving us with a drab, colorless spring. Although I stayed on topic, in retrospect, I don't think that was what Ms. Sawyer was getting at. I think she wanted to know what global warming means for people in their daily lives. </p> <p>Scientists speak of averages, but people notice extremes. I recently heard Congressman Dennis Kucinich from Ohio ask, rhetorically, whether one needed to be a scientist to see that things are changing in our own backyards. In the years and decades to come, I think people everywhere will continue to notice changes in their own backyards because of global warming. </p> <p>Change is the key word in climate change. For most people, this change will involve larger, more frequent extremes. For instance, in 2030 a Midwestern city will probably experience more rainfall, but it will likely come in fewer, larger events, with more frequent flooding. And between these events, there might be more frequent, longer, and hotter droughts. Residents of the city may come to expect 100+ degrees for many days running during extended droughts, when the soil is dry and no longer draws heat from the air. In summer, peak water and electricity demand will probably grow faster than city planners anticipated, requiring emergency infrastructure investments. With fewer hard freezes in winter, more pesticides will likely be needed to control mosquitoes and other pests. We will need to bolster emergency health care funds and disaster response systems to cope with these new extremes.</p> <p>And, yes, the city residents will probably enjoy blooms in January too, but at what cost?</p> <p>Jay Gulledge, Ph.D.<br />Senior Research Fellow/Staff Scientist<br />Pew Center on Global Climate Change</p>iBT study grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314218320301974518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161518133089963890.post-5991553300378148902007-12-03T10:19:00.000+08:002007-12-03T10:20:21.546+08:00"蛇"的相關背景知識<p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 50%;

text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Now, Wordsworth’s best known for his lyrical and dramatic poems.<span style=""> </span>On the surface, there are about common objects, ordinary situations.<span style=""> </span>He wrote about his sister Dorothy, about nature, rainbows, birds, the beauty of nature.<span style=""> </span>He wrote about simple rural people who represented the….um… he connected the rural life with the truth about the human nature.<span style=""> </span>What it means to be human.<span style=""> </span>What human needs for happiness?<span style=""> </span>There were some things about nature and rural life that was emotionally … spiritually… central for him.<span style=""> </span>And he felt that because he was writing the ordinary things that he should have write in simple ordinary<b> </b>language.<span style=""> </span>Poetry should be directed to regular people, so for him, it shouldn’t be written with special vocabulary, specialized language that only certain highly educated people could understand.<span style=""> </span>It was these features that made him not just the central figure, but really the beginning the British Romanticism.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Now, by Romanticism, we are not talking about the images of love.<span style=""> </span>These the Romanticism with capital R, not Romance between two people.<span style=""> </span>Romanticism is an artistic and literally movement, characterize by the interesting nature and the emphasis on the individual…um… individual’s emotions and imagination.<span style=""> </span>Actually, it is a little bit misleading to call it a “movement”.<span style=""> </span>Ummmm…. I mean it is no self style romantic movement at the time; Wordsworth didn’t call itself a romantic poem.<span style=""> </span>It is just our way to characterize the poetry and to distinguish from what we preceded which was the Neo classicism.<span style=""> </span>The Neo classicism of the 18<sup>th</sup> century which we touched on a bit, was known for what …for it’s concerns with orders and balanced and idealization.<span style=""> </span>And the elevated tone of its language.<span style=""> </span>Neoclassical poem tried to sound as learned as possible.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Um… You’ve read some.<span style=""> </span>Did they use the word “Bird” or do they use the expression like “feather people”?<span style=""> </span>Would they be more likely to be referred to sky as sky or as a “blue expanse?”<span style=""> </span>To the Romantic poet, Neo classical poem was writing down excessive.<span style=""> </span>It was too pre-occupied with elaborate expression and forms.<span style=""> </span>Wordsworth and other Romantic poems like ~ rejected Neo concerns with ideas and balance and the tendency toward the excessive of language.<span style=""> </span>It’s an intellectual orientation. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>So, Wordsworth doesn’t write about uncommon things or about ideas that the accessible only to the very high educated.<span style=""> </span>He writes about humble matters, like children and nature.<span style=""> </span>It was his poetic purpose to choose the ordinary things, ordinary situations…and… to describe them, to clarify....to reveal the essential nature.<span style=""> </span>With his early lyric poems, Wordsworth introduced his poetry to new attitude to the individuals and the new attitude to the nature.<span style=""> </span>One of the multitudes of a new Philosophy.<span style=""> </span>He wasn’t just use the imagery from nature in this poem.<span style=""> </span>He believed there was an organic connection between nature and the fulfillment of human’s satisfaction, happiness, between nature and human minds.<span style=""> </span>It’s actually something I share.<span style=""> </span>In fact, when I am out, just taking a walk, just enjoy the outdoors, I often think of Wordsworth poem, like <i style="">To the Daisy</i> or <i style="">By the sea.</i><span style=""> </span>They are kind of…they articulate that concept so well…. Anyway, regardless of your feeling about that, it is undeniable that Wordsworth’s ideas were revolutionary.<span style=""> </span>It’s opening up what poetry could be written about.<span style=""> </span>It could be about commonly experiences we all share as humans and they can be depicted realistically.<span style=""> </span>Okay? </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Now, many people divided his work into three periods.<span style=""> </span>He wrote the lyric poems, the poems his best known for is his… so called early period.<span style=""> </span>In his middle period, he wrote words were pretty …um… pretty harshly criticize, literally criticized of his days.<span style=""> </span>They thought Wordsworth had moved away his source of his original inspiration.<span style=""> </span>And in his late period, he did a lot of revising of his earlier work.<span style=""> </span>He revised his earlier poems again and again.<span style=""> </span>Um… his work, <i style="">Prelude</i> for example, went through four different versions before it is finally published.<span style=""> </span>So, how much was improved by all these revision?<span style=""> </span>Well, most readers and critics feel that the earliest<i style=""> Prelude </i>is the best.<span style=""> </span>So it is commonly held that the quality of Wordsworth’s poetry fell off over time which unfortunately is not something you will get to judge in this course.<span style=""> </span>We only have enough time for samplings, so we will stick with the lyric poems from his early period which ….well… I hope you will see their beauty, if not how revolutionary they were.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Question 1: What is the lecture mainly about?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Ans:<span style=""> </span>?

How do they work?<span style=""> </span>Bernard? </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">S:<span style=""> </span>Well… They are .. um… like wires carrying electrical signals and when the electrical signal reaches a contacting point, then a message sent out to another Neuron.<span style=""> </span>And I think the interesting thing about Neuron is that ( the professor cut in …. )</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Yes exactly…. That’s fine, Bernard.<span style=""> </span>Today I wanna to discuss cells found in the brain, they are called Glial Cells.<span style=""> </span>Um…Just to let you know, there are different types of glial cells, but we’ll discuss the specific types later.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Right, Glial Cells, so, first off, historically speaking, um… I am talking about the 1950s here.<span style=""> </span>Researchers didn’t think the glial cells were that important. They always focused on neurons… neurons…neurons… the thinking was that <span style=""> </span>neurons are responsible for all the communications going on within the brain.<span style=""> </span>As far as the glial cells concerns, early researchers just thought glial cells supporting the a few jobs like, carrying nutrients to neurons because in order to keep functioning, brain cells need energy.<span style=""> </span>And another job …um… protecting brains from invading agents of diseases.<span style=""> </span>You know… um.. things that the immunes system should have discovered and captured, but didn’t.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>So, again, early researchers assumed that the main purpose of glial cells was to support neurons. With their support, neurons could make connecting, with their support, neurons can make the connections … um… like to think, feel, remember or even eat a sandwich.<span style=""> </span>So, the thinking was why study glial cells?<span style=""> </span>These days though, there’s new thinking of gial cells.<span style=""> </span>In recent researches we discovered and the exchange of information, communication between brain cells and the glial cells throughout once lifetime.<span style=""> </span>So, instead of glial cells having just an unimportant role, we see them communicating; actually having impact on the connection of Neurons, swaying them, determining which connection go stronger and which one go weaker.<span style=""> </span>So, there are really three communication networks or communication systems in the brain.<span style=""> </span>Neurons communicate with neurons, glial cells communicate with glial cells and then glial cells communicate with neurons. In other words, glial cells do much much more than previous thought.<span style=""> </span>At least, that’s what the recent researches showing.<span style=""> </span>And where will the new understanding of cell function lead us?<span style=""> </span>Well, we don’t know.<span style=""> </span>It’s very exciting.<span style=""> </span>And the really marvelous part is glial cells outnumber the neurons’ in brain by far.<span style=""> </span>But they’ve barely been explored.<span style=""> </span>Brenda, you have a question?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">B:<span style=""> </span>So, the research field in glial cells is growing?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>I think there’s a lot of opportunity in glial cell research, especially a few years from now when you folks graduated.<span style=""> </span>As I see the field is really opening up.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>But, let’s go back a little and analyze.<span style=""> </span>Why did we miss so much about glial cells in the past?<span style=""> </span>Well, we have incorrect assumptions about glial cells.<span style=""> </span>We knew how signals travel through neurons and assumed that glial cells would use the same mainly electrical mode of transmitting information.<span style=""> </span>But they don’t.<span style=""> </span>Again, just as Bernard explained.<span style=""> </span>Neurons mainly use electrical activities to carry the messages.<span style=""> </span>Glial cells though, glial cells use chemicals, not electrical signals to carry messages.<span style=""> </span>And since our basic assumption back then was wrong, we missed out the real understanding.<span style=""> </span>And there’s still a lot we don’t know.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">B:<span style=""> </span>What else can glial cells do?<span style=""> </span>Can they repair nerve damage for instance?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>We’ve been still asking questions, experimenting and learning.<span style=""> </span>Some people have an extremely high numbers of glial cells more than normal, more than the typical person’s brain has.<span style=""> </span>One question we have does a person with higher number of glial cells in brain mean greater intelligence?<span style=""> </span>And there are different types of glial cells, so maybe being genius is caused by having an unusual high number of them or maybe just have a certain type.<span style=""> </span>We don’t know yet.<span style=""> </span>As we gained answers to these questions what would we be able to do that we couldn’t do before?<span style=""> </span>Well, perhaps someday we would be able to utilize glail cells to treat injuries.<span style=""> </span>Some scientists are doing experiments on that possibility now.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">S: <span style=""> </span>But what do you think Dr. Zoller?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: -24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">P:<span style=""> </span>Well…I think …..
