20、for tests.(1)You need to understand the importance of tests, the best methods of preparation, the common sense required for both a physical and mental approach to them, how to read instructions and questions correctly, and how to answer the way the tests or teacher expect you to answer. This is one
21、of the most valuable psychological benefits that can come from your education. People have different attitudes towards tests.(2)Do you ever consider the tests or examinations 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
22、outwit the other? 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?“ Another attitude that you should avoid is that of fear.(3)Fear of taking a test results in tension and d
23、isturbed thinking. Students who are afraid start in a state of confusion and disorder. Thus they throw away the advantages they have gotten by preparation. Students who approach tests with fear are almost always characterized by the following: 1)Their grade is considerably lower than their daily rec
24、itation grades, sometimes as much as twenty points lower. 2)They complain about the teacher-insufficient explanation, lack of detailed review, etc. 3)(4)They find fault with the test materials too long, not the type of questions expected and studied for, didnt understand the wording of questions. 4)
25、Fear drives these students to study for the test with another student. (5)A third attitude is wholly positive. It is the attitude of challenge, self-confidence, and content-reliability.(6)This attitude requires the relationship between student and teacher, and question and answer, always to be one o
26、f cooperative production rather than competitive destruction. (7)To adopt an attitude of challenge and self-confidence towards tests and examinations, you must first understand the real purposes of tests. (8)First, the motivation. From the students point of view, the first reason for tests is motiva
27、tion. Few of us are self-disciplined and motivated enough to educate ourselves without direction and requirement. A second reason for tests is that they provide students with a chance to show how much they have learned. Daily recitation does not provide such an opportunity. (9)A third reason is that
28、 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. (10)A fourth important reason is that students can discover both their shortcomings and
29、the extent of their progress. They can carefully study their errors and the general areas in which they occur. Now that you understand the reasons for tests and examinations, and how they benefit both student and teacher, you should not groan when a test is announced. If you manage this, your grade
30、will manage itself.

33、inda. Yeah, Im totally beat. I can barely keep my eyes open! W: Was it a rough trip? M: Well, it was actually pretty productive, but all the flying really got to me. W: Ah, jet lag, the pain of business travelers. M: The worst thing was adjusting to the time zones! Its so hard to get used to the dif
34、ference! W: Yeah, its hard. You know jet lag only hits if you travel east-west or west-east. You could fly from Germany to Cape Town in South Africa and you wouldnt feel anything. M: Right, because its all in the same time zone.(1)Unfortunately for me, all my travel was between different time zones.
35、 I have to say: Im really suffering! Why is jet lag so nasty? W: (2)Travel between time zones basically resets your bodys internal clock. M: So when you travel between time zones your body is thrown off its cycle? W: Exactly!(3 - 1)Some experts say it takes a full day to recover from each time zone
36、you cross. M: Wow, thats a long time.(3-2)Im going to need a few weeks off! W: That would be best, but unfortunately our boss isnt quite that generous. M: Is there anything I can do to make my jet lag less severe the next time I make an international trip? W: (4-1)Some people take herbal medicine, b
37、ut theres really no solid proof that it works. Some people take sleeping pills and try to sleep for the whole flight. M: I guess each person has to try and find the solution that works best for him. W: Yeah, everyone is different. But I believe there are a few things that can definitely make jet lag
38、 a little easier to deal with. M: Oh, yeah? Like what? W: For one, dont drink alcohol on flights. It dehydrates you and only makes jet lag worse. M: Oh, I usually have a few drinks when I fly. Maybe I should stick to water next time. W: (4-2)Water is best because you really need to stay hydrated, es
39、pecially when youre breathing the dry air in an airplane. Also, you should try to get on the local schedule as soon as you land. M: I guess that makes sense. W: Your body will slowly accept a new sleep-wake cycle. M: (5)But the cycle is based on light from the sun, right? Then maybe I should take a
40、walk in the morning and try to reset my brain to the new time for light. W: Actually, thats probably a great idea. And the exercise cant hurt either. M: I think Ill try some of these ideas next time and see which ones work for me. Thanks for your input, Linda. W: Sure! And have a nice rest tonight.

W: Very well, thanks. OK,(6)lets get down to the task at hand your biannual performance evaluation. M: So how did I do? W:
43、 (7)Well, in many areas you get high marks. You have a lot of creative thoughts and your enthusiasm regarding work projects is very much appreciated. M: Thats good to hear. I enjoy being creative and Im glad to see you appreciate that. Now whats the bad news? W: Well, we all have areas in which we c
44、ould not do better. M: And what are my areas? W: For starters, there is an issue of punctuality. Youve been clocking in roughly 20 to 30 minutes late almost every day. M: But I moved last month and the office is almost 40 miles away from my home now! Sometimes the traffic is really terrible. W: Yeah
45、, I know.(8)I also live out in the suburbs. Sometimes Im stuck in traffic for 45 minutes! But, as you know, the company requires all employees to be at work by 9 a. m. sharp. M: OK. What other issues are there with my performance? W: Well, like I said before, you are very enthusiastic and we appreci
46、ate that, but sometimes you can be a bit over-the-top. M: What do you mean by that? W: (9)Well, sometimes your co-workers feel that you are too loud, or you tell inappropriate jokes during office hours. M: I think people are too sensitive. W: That could be true, but we all have to work together, so
47、its probably best not to step on peoples toes. M: OK, I guess I can try to tone it down. W: Can you handle another criticism? M: Sure, why not? Bring it on! W: (10)I would recommend that you work on following through with projects. You have a lot of good ideas and you start quite a few different pro
48、jects, but many times you dont follow through. Then all these ideas are just floating around but nothing is really getting done. M: But Im really more of an idea person. I come up with concepts and start them, but the legwork is really not my style. W: Honestly Steve, you have a lot of talent, but i
49、f you dont complete tasks, you wont get promoted. M: Well, thanks for the advice. Ill try to work on that. W: Again, I cant stress enough how grateful we are for all the work you do. Overall, you are a quality employee and were glad to have you. M: Thanks for saying that, Fiona. I appreciate it. W: Sure. Thanks for stopping by and well do this again in six months. M: See you then! 6. What is the relationship between th
