courses and youll choose those that will serve youbest.To begin with,you should select the courses that fit your profession.It is a good ideato choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession.Potentialemployers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don*thave to give you.For example,you may select elective courses in chemistry,biologyor even physics if you are doing a science major.For business majors,select electivesin accounting,business administration,and even computing,as youll never knowwhen these will come in handy in the corporate world.Moreover,you can choose an education that includes many fields of study.If you aretaking a heavy load of career-related courses,you may prefer electives that are notdirectly related to your major.If you receive a well-rounded education,someemployers believe that you have better potential.For example,if you have courses inscience along with your business degree,you could possibly win a job over someonewho majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally,you can also select a challenging elective course.Part of getting an educationis learning how to learn,and elective courses should help you achieve this goal.Youneed not to memorize all the information from each class,but you should get a betterunderstanding of the world.So,pick elective courses that challenge your beliefsystem and make you look at the world in a different way.For instance,you canconsider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a littlenarrow-minded.(1)(2)(6)(8)(10)extra

straight A students achieve academic excellence.Here,according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets ofsuper-achievers.First,they know how to set priorities.Top students allow no intrusions on study time.Once the books are open or the computer is turned on,phone calls go unanswered,TVshows unwatched,snacks ignored.Study is business,and business comes beforerecreation.Also,good students can study anywhere and everywhere.Claudia Hill,an ArizonaState University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked outevery day.Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term.Thenhe posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom.He learned a fewterms every day while brushing his teeth.Eventually,he scored high on the finalexamination.Moreover,top students schedule their time well.Study times are strictly a matter ofpersonal preference.Some work late at night when the house is quiet.Others awakeearly.Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work isfresh in their minds.All agreed,however,on the need for consistency.A student says,Whatever I was doing,I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read,According to a book entitled Getting Straight As,the secret of good reading is to be“an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understandingof the authors message.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about superachievers starting

the passage?Keys:1B2.C3.D4.A5,DVI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1:Problems with our educational systemScriptHi,everybody.My topic today is Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don,t agree with.It seemsthat educators just want to give standardized tests,which focus only on academicperformance but neglect students5 abilities and interests in other areas.I think there9rea lot of people who are very intelligent,but havent had the opportunities theycould9 ve had,had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems.I feelthat a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic,and,as a result,many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence.They often exert a lotof pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.I think being well-roundedisnt really possible.And as a consequence some students who are believed to beintelligent cant get into good colleges if they,for example,havent scored well on themath section,even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called“weak students are separatedfrom the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades arelower then others.And theyve very aware of their social position,you know.I think itcauses them to act in a way that is not really positive.They9re just acting in a way thatthey are expected to act.Often their grades go from bad to worse.And thats prettysad to me.I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent,but neveractually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on intheir education.ProblemsResultsEducators just want to give standardizedtests.They only focus on academicperformance but neglect students9abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure onstudents to be as well-rounded aspossible.Some intelligent kids cant get into goodcolleges.“Weak”students are separated from therest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.Task 2:The Final ExamScriptAt a university,there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.They weredoing so well on all the quizzes,midterms,labs,that each had A so far for thesemester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals,they decidedto go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there.They had agreat time,but after all the hearty partying,they slept all day Sunday and didnt makeit back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the finalexam and explain to him why they missed it.They explained that they had planned tocome back in time for the final exam,but,unfortunately,they had a flat tire on theway back,didnt have a spare.As a result,they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final thefollowing day.The guys were relieved and elated.The next day,the professor placedthem in separate room,handed each of them a test paper and told them to begin.They took at the first problem,worth five points.It was a simple question on achemical reaction.Cool,“they thought at the same time,each one in his separateroom,“This is going to be easy.Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points:Which of the tires was flat?”Task 3:Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States.Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth,the university has grownfrom 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than18,000students,including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professorschools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard,including more than 2,000 faculties.Harvard has

program increased faculty salaries,broadened student aid,created new professorships,and expanded Harvards physicalfacilities.Neil L.Rudenstine took office as Harvards 26lh president in 1001.As part of anoverall effort to achieve greater coordination among the universitys school andfaculties,Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvardsmain intellectual priorities.He also stressed the important of the universitysexcellence in undergraduate education,the significance of keeping Harvards doorsopen to students from families of different economic backgrounds,the task of
