carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and

In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of

ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.

In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced

degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study

of the subjects. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the

doctor"s degree.

One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not

personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of

which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer

and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material

properly.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City

Like many other city dwellers, I **plain about having to cope with the problems related with city

life. I sometimes fancy getting closer to nature and appreciating its beauty fully in the country.

Once a friend asked me, "Do you really hate life in the city that much? If you had a choice, would

you move away to the country?" I compelled myself to think about city life more seriously. Now I

have to do justice to it. Admittedly, the attractions of city life still appeal to me strongly despite its

drawbacks.

In general, city life is relatively convenient **fortable. The supply of water and electricity is

continuous. Whenever one wants, all he has to do is just turning on a faucet or pressing a button.

There is also a variety of vehicles for transportation, from buses and cars to trains and planes, that

help people move about efficiently. Shopping centers are seen here and there in cities. Thanks to

the amazing diversity of commodities, going shopping is often interesting and enjoyable for city

dwellers. Besides the fun of making purchases, there are also countless theaters, cinemas, art

galleries and restaurants providing residents with various kinds of fascinating entertainment.

To some extent, city life is truly divorced from nature. It is sometimes very exhausting because

of its fast moving tempo. But on the other hand, nothing in the world is perfect; neither is city life.

Viewed positively, the drawbacks should still be outweighed by its attractions. In fact, the

drawbacks can be regarded as challenges to make life in the city more interesting, more exciting

and more meaningful. To me, moving away from the city would mean the loss of excitement and

the dynamic nature of modern life. Therefore, I would choose to continue to live in the city.

5. Read the following passage carefully **pose a "topic outline" for it.

A

Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but

you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You

can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top

students without additional work. Here"s how.

1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of

your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on

good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal

reading and work assignment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems,

but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to

plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.

2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at

home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions.

When you begin to work, you should be able to put your heart into it.

3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it

more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is

organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may

skip some of these parts. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves **prehension

as well.

4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less

work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher

says.

5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points in

class as well as you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know

what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you

understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will
