很多学生发现在大学听课是一种令人费解，令人灰心的经验。老师会花一两个小时用幻灯片来讲解课的内容，在黑板上写出一些重要的信息，散发一些阅读材料，布置一些作业。新生发现别的学生一直在记笔记，他们不知道该记些什么。学生经常会记一些不切重点的笔记，这使学生对所学的知识难以理解。大多数学校给学生提供的课程可以帮助学生培养如何成为一个高效的聆听者的技能和记笔记的技能。如果这些没有，那么会有很多有用的学习的指导，使听者能够单独得训练这些技能。通常学生在开始学习之前就应该解决这种听课技能的问题。

不得不承认大多数学生在大学学习期间在获取语言技能方面有困难。克服这种困难的一种方法就是参加语言和学习技能培训班，很多学校在整个学年中都开设此班。另一种基本的方法就是找一个学习伙伴，和伙伴一起就有可能找出困难所在，交换意见和提供帮助。

At that moment 47 went out . Jamie and his mother were in the dark.

“The coastline will be in the dark,” Jamie’s mother said. She got more worried. 48 always come in threes. I broke my best glasses this morning, and my sister has the cold.

“Now ,don’t worry ,mum. They’ re right.” They’ re 49 to come through this all right.

But Jamie really worried about those fishing boats himself. The fishing boats would 50 the cove in the dark .

Jamie took flares and rushed into the wind. There was a cliff by the sea. He started to climb. He 51 himself up hand over hand. At last he reached the top.

He 52 there times. On the fourth try he fired off one of the flares. It rose and cut into the black sky in bright light. Then he saw an answering flare up at sea. Jamie fired off two more.

The answering flares from the fishing boats showed they 53 the entrance to the cove but then changed course and were 54 sailing into the cove. They were almost home.

一天，当杰米放学回家时，他母亲显得很担心。他知道她在想天气的事。“外面天气很糟糕。乌云正从海上飘来，”杰米说道。“是的，我正在想海上的渔船，”她说。正在那时，灯熄灭了。杰米和她母亲陷入了黑暗中。

“海岸线上将是漆黑一片，” 杰米的母亲说道。她更担心了。坏事总是接二连三的。早上我打破了最好的杯子，然后我妹妹感冒了。

“别担心，妈妈。他们会没事的。”他们肯定能顺利克服这些的。

但是杰米自己的确是担心那些渔船的。渔船在黑暗中会找不到海湾的。

杰米拿了闪光装置冲入了大风中。海边有个悬崖，他开始爬起来。他双手交互的往上爬。终于他爬上了崖顶。

他失败了三次。第四次他发出了一个信号。亮光划破黑暗升上天空。然后他看到海的上空有了一道回复的信号。杰米又发了两次信号。他看到又一道回复的信号。然后又一次，又一次。来自渔船的回复信号表明他们通过了进入海湾的入口，然后换了帆，现在正驶入海湾。他们几乎就快到家了。杰米帮着救了村里的渔民。

More and more teachers and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, 46 came from the printed papers sold on streets.

These printed things look like newspaper but have hardly anything to do with them. You can only find reading material badly 47 there-some are too strange for anyone to believe, 48 are frightening stories of something even worse. However, many of the young students are getting absorbed in such poisonous reading, which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and bring them nightmares and immoral ideas 49 return. Homework is left undone, daily games lost.

These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 50 they are, we never know, are making their silent money. The sheep skinned wolf’s stories seem to have been forgotten once again.

Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes, both teachers and parents have 51 each other for more strict control of the young readers. Yet unfortunately, 52 you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even find several children share one patched paper, which has traveled from one hand to 53 driven by the curious nature.

It really does harm to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 54

teachers and parents need more powerful support. Meanwhile, the young readers need more interesting books to help them 55 these ugly papers.

越来越多的老师和家长已经注意到了另一种污染，即随街叫卖的印刷品。

这些印刷品看起来象报纸，但几乎和报纸粘不上边。你看到的只是胡编乱造的文章－有些离奇得让人难以置信，有些是更糟糕的恐怖故事。然而，许多学生却迷上了这种有毒文章，他们花早餐钱去买这些印刷品，而带给他们的却只有恶梦和不健康的思想。家庭作业不做，日常锻炼丧失。

这些卖报者在街上叫卖，生意不错。这些作者、出版商和印刷者，我们不知道他们是谁，正默默地赚着他们的钱。披着羊皮的狼的故事似乎又一次被遗忘了。

学校为什么不禁止这种读物？是的，老师和家长都互相要求更严格监控这些小读者。不幸的是，你越想禁止，他们就越想看。有时你甚至发现好几个孩子争着看一张由于好奇心而传来传去的破报纸。

这种读物确实对我们的社会是有害的。它已经形成了一种道德污染。担忧着的老师和家长需要更有力的支持。同时，这些小读者需要更多有趣的读物来帮助他们摆脱这些不健康的读物。

It is always interesting to visit another country, especially for those who have never traveled a great deal. Foreign 46 can be very educational for anyone if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand. Learning the language of the new country would be difficult for the traveler, 47 the benefits of such an effort would become obvious immediately 48 his arrival. It may not seem important to him when he comfortably stays at home, but knowing how to 49 a meal or book a room is necessary for the newcomer in a strange country. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult 50 the stranger to understand the people of the new country and their customs.

Of course, in our small world, it is often possible to find someone 51 understands our own, but this is only second-best for the traveler. To be sure, he can see places and things 52 the use of a language, but places and things 53 not the heart of the country. To get the greatest

benefit from a trip 54 another country, it is how important for the visitor to 55 an understanding of the language.

出国旅游总是很有趣的，尤其是对于那些很少出门旅行的人。如果旅游者兴致很高，提前做些知识准备，在国外旅行中能学到更多的东西。学习一门新的语言对于旅行者来说会很难，但是一到达新国度，这种努力学习语言的益处就会立竿见影。当他在国内的时候这并不重要，但是在一个陌生的国家里，对于一个新来的人知道如何点餐或预定房间却是必须的。如果不懂这个国家的语言，对陌生人而言，就很难理解这个国家的人文及风俗文化。

当然，世界很小，我们经常有可能找到理解我们自己语言的人，但是对于旅行者来说，这只是次之的选择。他能够不用语言看懂地方及很多东西，这是肯定的，但这并不是一个国家的核心内容。为了在旅游中能够从别的国家获得最大的收益，对于游客来说，懂一门新语言是多么重要啊！
