12、contentedB.contentmentC.discontentedD.contentRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items , ,. Preparing for Tests (1) Ideally it should be love of learning, achievement, and self-improvement that prompts all learning. But the average student is probably motivated by

13、a more tangible, immediate, and pressuring reason-the requirement to take and pass tests. Few high school students are not concerned with the aptitude and achievement tests that they must take to get into college. Even students not planning to attend college will take placement, adaptability, and pr

14、omotion tests if they are to succeed in their field. Promotion in the armed services does not depend on physical prowess (本领) and length of service. It depends, instead, on the ability to study and pass promotional tests. You need to understand the importance of tests, the best methods of preparatio

15、n, the common sense required for both physical and mental approach to them, how to read instructions and questions correctly, and how to answer the way the test or teacher expects you to answer. This is one of the most valuable psychological benefits that can come from your education. Attitude towar

16、d Tests (2) Dr. Francis P. Robinson in his book, Effective Study, poses a question: “Did you ever thank a teacher for giving a test?“ At first glance you are not likely to find much in your thinking that would help inspire a “yes“. The teacher spends a lot of time preparing the test questions. After

17、 you have taken the test, the teacher spends many hours carefully evaluating your paper. Mistakes are marked so that when your paper is returned you can go over them and perhaps write in corrections. Then you will not make the same mistakes again. Test as a Personal Battle (3) Do you, like many of y

18、our fellow students, consider the test or examination as a personal battle which the teacher wages in an attempt to defeat you, or do you see it as a contest in which one tries to outwit the other? If this is your attitude towards tests, you probably do one of two things when the teacher returns you

19、r paper to you. One, you throw it away without bothering to do more than glance through it to see where points were taken off. Or two, without checking an incomplete answer against the facts as studied, you approach the teacher and demand to know why points were taken off. This is the most negative

20、of approaches. The difference in attitude can be seen in the difference between two questions: “ Why did you take off points on this question?“ and “What should I have included that I did not?“ Fear of Taking Tests (4) Another attitude that you should avoid is that of fear. Fear of taking tests resu

21、lts in tension and disturbed thinking. These, in turn, produce blind spots (not being able to remember answers that you knew ten minutes before the test)and careless mistakes. This fear also keeps people from venturing into new areas in life. They may visualize the new method, the better tool, or th

22、e strong bridge, but they hesitate until someone else realizes their dreams. (5) Fear prevents success on tests and examinations because fear conditions the mind for failure. Students who are afraid start in a state of confusion and disorder. Thus they throw away the advantages they have gotten by p

23、reparation. Students who approach tests with fear are almost always characterized by the following: Their grade is considerably lower than their daily recitation grades, sometimes as much as twenty points lower. They complain about the teacher-insufficient explanation, lack of detailed review, etc.

24、They find fault with the test materials-too long, not the type of questions expected and studied for, the wording of questions hard to understand. Their preparation consists of a frantic last-ditch effort. They suffer from loss of sleep almost to the point of total exhaustion, and often loss of impo

25、rtant notes or review material just when they are needed most. Fear drives these students to study for the test with another student. Invariably they choose a study companion who has the same attitude of fear. Often the other student“s knowledge of the subject is only equal to, or perhaps less than,

26、 their own. (6) If you recognize two or more of these characteristics as behavior patterns which you practice at test and examination time, you should change your attitude as quickly as possible. To continue them is to subject yourself to a climate of tension and fear and to condition yourself for d

27、efeat. A Positive Approach to Tests (7) A third attitude is wholly positive. It is the attitude of challenge, self-confidence, and content-reliability. Students who accept a test as a challenge to show the teacher the extent of their knowledge of the subject and to improve their grades are stimulate

28、d. This stimulation produces the energy needed to think clearly and to act with precision over a longer period of concentration than the daily recitation requires. The attitude of challenge is reflected by enterprising rather than burdensome preparation. Self-confidence develops from this adequate p

29、reparation. There is no room for tension and fear. Even a questionable answer is approached by a calculated reliability. The belief is that a worthwhile answer, although perhaps only partially correct, can be worked out. This attitude requires the relationship between student and teacher, and questi

30、on and answer, always to be one of cooperative production rather than competitive destruction. (8) To adopt an attitude of challenge and self-confidence toward tests and examinations, you must first understand the real purposes of test. Reasons for Tests Motivation (9) From the student“s point of vi

31、ew, the first reason for tests is motivation. Few of us are self-disciplined and motivated enough to educate ourselves without direction and requirement. Being tested periodically on accumulated knowledge is a strong motivating force. Chance to Show Knowledge (10)A second reason for tests is that th

32、ey provide students with a chance to show how much they have learned. Daily recitation does not provide such an opportunity. A test gives the students a chance to show their ability to organize and unify large volumes of material. This is not possible in preparing for day-to-day assignments. Predict

33、ion of Future Tests (11) A third reason is that students gain insight into what the teacher considers most important. If test questions deal with main topics and essential principles, the student can accurately estimate the nature of future and larger tests. Discovery of Weaknesses and Progress (12)

34、 A fourth important reason is that students can discover both their shortcomings and the extent of their progress. They can carefully study their errors and the general areas in which they occur. They can see a pattern of their errors. They can take steps to correct their weaknesses. They can measur

35、e their progress in that subject. And most important of all, they can measure whether ,or not their mental growth is keeping up with the demand of the subject. (13) Now that you understand the reasons for tests and examinations, and how they benefit both student and teacher, you should not groan whe

36、n a test is announced. Do not approach it as a burdensome chore or with light indifference. Approach it with an honest and determined effort for self-improvement. If you manage this, your grade will manage itself. . In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four
