听写Think Positive and Feel Positive
Are you confident or insecure in a difficult situation? Do you react positively or negatively? The answer may depend in part on whom you're around.
A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases. For example, the researchers studied 103 college roommates. They measured each roommate's tendency towards negative thinking. It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious.
Students with a negative-thinking roommate became more depressed themselves. And students with more positive-thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.
Talk
What Is Grit?
Good afternoon, everyone. （1）Today, I would like to talk about my research project concerning the key to success. I would like to start my topic with my own story.
When I was 27 years old, I left for a demanding job: teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.
What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have super IQ scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.Then I felt very interested in knowing the reason why the students' math performance is not that closely related to their IQ scores. （2）I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why.My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out. (3)We went to the National Spelling Contest and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition. We worked with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who's going to earn the most money.We went to many places, and finally one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit.
What is grit?(4)Well, grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. (5)Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for
years, and working really hard to make future a reality.(6) Grit is living your life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. (7)It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, test scores and so on.
To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build grit in kids? How do I keep them motivated for the long run? "
Our data shows very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitment. (8)In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent.
So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." (9)Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort.(10) Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my talk, because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.Next time, I would like to share with you my experience in building up students' grit.
CONVERSATION ONE
W: Hello, This is Kate Smith, I'm calling from ABC Company.
M: Oh, hello, Kate. Great to hear from you.
W: You've already been told that you've been shortlisted for interview...
M: Oh, yes...
W: Well, we're very excited about meeting you. （1）OK, I just want to talk you through the procedure for the day. Someone will meet you when you arrive, and then bring you up to meet myself and Arthur Miller, the CEO.
M: OK, sounds good. So will you be the only members of the interview panel there then?
W: Yes, it'll be just me and Arthur who will talk to you. The interview will be in three parts---first of all we'll ask you some general questions about yourself and your educational and professional background, and then we'll move on to specifics.
M: Oh, um, specifics? Well er, what kind of questions will you be asking?
W: Well, it'll be very similar to the personal statement you submitted with your CV — we'll be expecting you to... to give actual examples of problems you've faced and solved, and of what you feel are the major successes in your career so far.
M: OK. Well, yeah, that sounds great — can't wait!
W:（2） Then there'll be a chance for you to ask us any questions — about the job itself, or ABC Company in general...
M: Oh, um, OK... I'll think of something!
W:（3/4）After that, we'd like you to give a short presentation on how you see ABC Company as a company progressing, and how you see yourself taking us there.
M: OK, so will I be expected to give like a formal style presentation?
W: It can be as formal or informal as you like. There'll be a computer and a data projector there available. If you need anything else, just let us know.
M: Oh, um... OK, a presentation! I'll think of something. I haven't done one of those in a while... W: Is that all clear?
M: Yes.
W:（5）Great! So, Daniel, I'll see you at 11 a.m., Thursday next week.
M: OK, great. I look forward to meeting you! Thanks, bye.
W: Bye.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.
1. Why does the woman call the man?
2. What kind of questions can the man ask in the interview?
3. Which is the last part of the interview?
4. What might be expected from the man's presentation?
5. When is the interview scheduled?
CONVERSATION TWO
W: It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world because they are already, some of them, more than 100, 000 dollars in debt. With us
now is Mark Spencer, he is the senior financial analyst for SBC Bank. Welcome to you.
M: Thank you. Nice to be with you.
W: Now I guess there are two kinds of debts: good debt and bad debt. Where does this go?
M: (7)Well, student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6 to 8% a year, far faster than the income, far faster than the standard of living. That means debt's taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education.
W: (6-1)How much debt is too much debt for, for one student?
M: (8)Well, one guideline is that you look at the first year's salary in your field after graduation, and use that as a barometer, but even then...
W: Is that right?
M: Well, you are talking big payments even in that instance, for example, 30, 000 dollars worth of debt. If you are gonna repay that over 10 years, you are talking more than 300 dollars a month at, in payments every month for 10 years.
W: (6-2)But there is surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs. There are so many kinds of grants. What's, what's the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under.
M: I understand that loans are just one way of college finance. Take advantage of the other opportunities. (9)Things like a college savings plan, let, let you save on a tax advantage basis. So you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education.
W: So it's important to start early and that really reduces that reliance on debt later.
M: (6-3)Another thing, leave no stone unturned, looking at grants, scholarships, even on-campus jobs. I mean every dollar you get that way is seen as another dollar you don't have to borrow later.
W: (10-1)The kinds of jobs that so many students, the fresh off students, like to go into, er, charity stuff, volunteer work. This debt is eliminating a lot of that, isn't it?
M:(10-2) I think that's the social cost. Really, I mean, you know, when you consider that, you know, people may pass up a rewarding career in charitable work, or non-profit organization because they have to get a higher salary someplace else to pay off that debt.
W: Yeah, that's for sure. Mark Spencer, senior financial analyst from SBC Bank.
Mark, good you could be here.
M: Thank you.
6. What is the interview mainly about?
7. How does the cost of college education change every year?
8. What is used to measure student loan debt as a guideline?
9. What is the advantage of joining a college savings plan?
10. What is the possible social cost of a college loan?

剑桥雅思听力超详细解析（2） 场景背景介绍 味精是许多人在烹调的时候会使用的调料，但却很少有人了解它的历史。这部分听力的主要内容就是关于味精的历史。实际上，许多种调料在进入人类的厨房之前都经历了一个复杂而又曲折的过程。味精也是一样，它最先是由人们在一种海草中提炼出来的。 本节必背词汇、词组 monosodium Glutamate 味精intensify v. 加剧 enhancer n. 促进剂evolutionary a. 进化的 cuisine n. 烹饪，烹调法associate professor 副教授 seaweed n. 海草，海藻protein n. 蛋白质 extraction n. 提取carbohydrate n. 碳水化合物 amino acid 氨基酸toxin n. 毒素 commercially ad. 商业地spoilage n. 损坏，腐烂 crisp n. 油炸马铃薯 词汇拓展 leek n. 葱pepper n. 花椒 ginger n. 姜hot pepper 辣椒 garlic n. 蒜rosemary n. 迷迭香 文本及疑难解析 1. Now, MSG as you probably know, is a flavour enhancer which is used particularly in Chinese and Japanese cooking. 大家可能知道，味精是一种增味剂，尤其在中国和日本的烹调中很常用。 该句中开始的“now”没有什么意义，仅仅是一个语气词。
2. The main reason why MSG is more commonly used in Japanese meals is tradition. 为什么日本人经常使用味精呢?最主要的原因是，这是他们的传统。 这句话的主句是“The main reason...is tradition. ”“why”引导的是一个定语从句，修饰前面的“reason”。 3. From 1908 until 1956, glutamate was produced commercially in Japan by a very slow and expensive means of extraction. 从l908年到1956年，日本谷氨酸的商业生产方式非常缓慢而且费用很高。 被动句是英语中使用非常频繁的句式，而中国学生在口语和写作中使用得却很少，这是因为汉语中很少使用被动句。 4. So, how exactly does MSG work? 那么，到底味精是如何起作用的呢? 该句中“exactly”被提前是为了强调。还可以说成：How does MSG work exactly?这样就没有强调的意思了。另外，“work”一词用法很多，在这里它是“起作用”的意思。 5. It does make perfect evolutionary sense that we should have the ability to detect or taste glutamate because it is the amino acid which is most common in natural foods. 因为谷氨酸是在自然食物中很常见的氨基酸，所以我们能够发现并尝出它的味道，从进化的角度看，这是说得通的。 该句中的第一个“it”指的是下文的that从句;第二个“it”指谷氨酸。代词在英语中使用非常频繁，对中国考生来讲，这是一个难点。 为了解决这个问题，最好的方法就是多做快速阅读。如果在读到代词的时候可以快速还原，那么在听到代词的时候也可以很快知道其指代对象，这对增强听力理解的能力有很大帮助。 6. John Prescott, an associate professor at the University of Chicago, suggests that this fifth taste serves a purpose just as the other tastes do. John Prescott是芝加哥大学的一位副教授，他认为这第五种味道和其他的味道作用相同。

Do you have any women living alone, retired women? ”你喜欢和一个家庭一起住还是觉得一 个人单独住更合适?你那儿有单独居住的退休女士吗?“single person ”指“一个人”，“single ”还有“单身”的意思，例如：Married people usually have a different view of life from single people. 已婚的人与单身的人通常有不同的人生观。“live alone ”表示“单独居住”，例如：I live all alone but I never feel lonely. 我虽孑然一身, 但从不感孤寂。 4. “Most families do that on an honor system, but you have to wait and see. ”大多数家庭都是用信用制度来付电话费，到时候你就知道了。留学期间，如果住在当地人家里或者和同学合租房，大 多数房东不太愿意为了给学生出租一段时间的房子另行申请一个新的电话号码，一般房东和房客共用一个 号码，付费的时候，靠大家自觉。 剑桥雅思4Test3 听力Section 1 答案+解析 Question 1 1.5 years 观察所给图表，可知此对话是关于住房申请的问题。需填信息分别为：在澳大利亚居住的时间、目前 住址、目前课程，以及所需住房的时间段。此题一定要注意题目要求。题目要求的是每空所填单词不得超 过三个，所以在填空的时候，不能把原文一字不变地照搬下来。原文提到“a year in Adelaide and six months in Sydney ”，实际上填空的时候，考生可以将其简化为“ 1. 5 years ”。 Question 2 Forest 当听到录音中说“What’s your address at your aunt ’s house? ”意味着第二题的答案即将出现：“Flat one, five three nine Forest Road, Canterbury. ”答案即为Forest Road. 注意“forest ”的尾音“t ”有吞音现象，比较难捕捉。
