19、own thinking）解析：听力原文 1-10How to Write a Term PaperGood morning, everyone! Today Id like to continue our series of talks about study skills in university. This morning Im going to talk about how to write a term paper.To start with, what is a term paper? A term paper is primarily a record of intellige
20、nt reading in several sources on a particular subject. Yet it is more than the sum of your sources and a collection of different pieces of information about a topic. A term paper analyzes a perspective or argues a point. Regardless of the type of term paper you are writing, 1your finished paper shou
21、ld present your own thinking hacked up by others ideas and information.Sooner or later a term paper happens to all of you. Some teacher or professor gives an assignment that can either make or break ones college career. Hours of endless research seem to loom ahead. Facts that may or may not go toget
22、her are a jumble within ones psyche. Few will excel at the task with little or no effort while most others will flounder around and either pass or fail the project. Others may wait until the night before it is due and compose it in a rush on the word processor. Like it or not, term papers are a part
23、 of higher education. They dont have to be dreaded, however. With just a little planning and foresight, the term paper can be not only an exciting way to learn more about a specific topic but also lead to great grades.2The first step to a really good term paper is to narrow the topic down sufficient
24、ly so that it can be focused in on with greater ease and accuracy. Suppose you are required to write about a broad topic such as The History of the Civil War. Surely a million facts are out there and it should be easy to research a lot of those, but when it comes time to write the actual paper, it w
25、ill be hard to narrow down the information and make any cohesive sense from it. It would be better to focus in, say, on one particular battle of the Civil War, a particular general, or perhaps a specific aspect of everyday life in the 1860s on a Southern Plantation. By focusing the topic early on, 3
26、we can eliminate the wasted time of reading EVERYTHING ever written about the war and go directly to those books and references that will shed light on our niche on the whole.Like a skeleton holding our limbs and muscles together, 4an outline will serve to assist in the coherent assembling of facts.
27、 If a specific historical event has been chosen or a biography of a person in the era, a time line is the easiest and most useful format for organizing facts. Life on a plantation could be broken down into sub groups, such as The Big House, The Cash Crops of the South, The Effects of the War on Tins
28、 Particular Lifestyle, etc. Once an outline is sketched out, facts and information must be set into this model.A lot of students find that 3x5 file cards greatly assist in the organization of facts. They place one particular fact on each card, and arrange and subgroup these in order of the outline.
29、This way the facts can be rearranged so that they make the most sense and so that they are in an order which will make the material understandable to a reader who may not know anything about the topic except for what is being presented in the paper.Writing the paper should be easy now. 5Starting wit
30、h the first topic on the outline and the first packet of fact file cards, one simply goes from one to the next in a methodical way. At this point, the writing process can be compared to a cookbook with each step coming after the one before it and in a pre-determined way.Spelling and grammar count, a
31、nd there are several reference books out there to help with this. 6The boon of the word processor is that it can check spelling for the writer. The material must still be physically proofread, however, as spell-check software will not pick up misspelled words that by coincidence spell another word i
32、n the English Language. In this way, if united was written, but untied was meant, the computer will not pick it up.7it is always helpful to have a friend read a paper before the final draft is completed to see if the material makes sense to someone who hasnt done the research the writer has. It is a
33、lso helpful to have a second person proofread for typographical and spelling errors. Often, the writer can miss these because after one has stared at the same paper for .several readings they become more immune to picking up these errors. 8The mind can become immune to noticing these because the wri
34、ter knows what he or she meant to write and will not be as able to see a typo.9The final step is to be sure that the paper is laid out in a clear and neat looking format. 10Clean paper and even margins are very good image-makers. The font should be large enough to be comfortable to read, but not so
35、big as to fill the page limit with fewer words. If these steps are followed, one should see an improvement in the output of papers and find them far less intimidating to write. The researcher may even find him- or herself learning something in the process.OK. In todays lecture, weve discussed severa
36、l tips that can help one in writing a term paper, such as narrowing the topic down, preparing an outline, and having someone to proofread the paper. In our next lecture, well explore how to give an oral presentation effectively.填空项1:_（正确答案：accuracy）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：reading everything）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：co

38、 valuable relationship.B.Neighbors are the most helpful when help is needed.C.Neighbors are as important as family members.D.Getting along well with neighbors is good for ones healt解析：听力原文 1-5M: Well, for years, people have been trying to keep up with the neighbors. Joining us with some simple tips
39、on how to deal with those likeable and not so likeable neighbors is Betty Wong, the Executive Editor of Family Circle magazine. Good morning, Betty.W: Good morning.M: Well, in an ideal world, I guess we would all get along with our neighbors, wouldnt we?W: Right, right. We hope so.M: But why is it i
40、mportant to have a good relationship with them?W: Well, you know, your home is your sanctuary. 1And how you get along with your neighbors really plays a large part in your health well-being and happiness, because you know, your neighbors really kind of make your home. And so its important at least t
41、o establish a good, cordial, or at least polite relationship with your neighbors.M: How do we establish that? When you move into a neighborhood, fight, should you reach out to the neighbors or should they be reaching out to you?W: I think it could work either way. I mean, certainly, if they dont rea
42、ch out to you, dont assume that they are being rude or unfriendly. They just might be hesitating because they think you are too busy unpacking and settling in. So if they dont make that first step, you know, after a few days, 2go ahead and introduce yourself, because I think once you are on a first
43、name basis with your neighbors, it makes that much easier to, you know, prevent problems later on, or maybe call on them for a favor down the road like if you are on a vacation and you need them to water your plants and pick up your mail. Its much easier when you know them personally.M: Yeah, neighb
44、ors can be really helpful, but of course they can also be annoying. Some have been annoyed by loud music.W: Yes, it is. 3Loud music is one of those top complaints. However people probably arent even aware that they are causing problems for their neighbors. And I think if you bring it up to your neig
45、hbors attention they will be more than happy to fix it. 3But you can take that, you know its-not-yon, its-me approach. You could say something like, you know, Im really a light sleeper or I suffer from migraines. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during those evening hours or
46、the early morning, or come up with a compromise that works for both of you, a resolution that works for both of you.M: Dont just call the police, fight? Which a lot of people do. So thats a common complaint: loud music, but also sometimes we can have smells and other things that assault our senses,
47、such as the smelly food.W: Well, thats a tough one. Thats a really sensitive situation. Because you want to live in the comfort of your own home, and not have to deal with unpleasant smells, 4but then your neighbors are lust as entitled to cook whatever she likes in the comfort of her own home. So Id, you know, say, approach her if yo
