Directions:
You are going to read a text on developing a positive attitude toward study, followed by a list of choices. Choose the most suitable choice from the list A-F for each numbered subheading （41-45）。 There is one extra choice which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （10 points）
Some people will mightily disagree with me on the notion that you must like something to do well. OK. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it! But my experience in a classroom is that students who have an “attitude” （a negative disposition） toward either the subject or the teacher do not perform as well as they should.
I have watched this “attitude” phenomenon for years. In fact, it's so prominent in required courses that you cannot miss it. The school tells students that they must take English, and students resent it. It's human nature to rebel when someone says you must do it. In contrast, I find that in elective courses students have more of an interest and the results are dramatically different. They participate more in class, read the assignments, turn in higher quality materials, talk to the teacher more, and generally are more fun.
Don't think that intelligence （ability） will substitute for a good attitude, because it will not. Underline NOT. Being bright is a gift that many people squander because of a bad attitude. The world is chockfull of half-baked geniuses, potential Olympic athletes, and superstar talents that never made it. Why? Because attitude, not ability, will determine your' success. And the following are some effective tips for you to develop a positive attitude.
（ 41 ）Think like an advertiser.
In advertising, the first thing the ad must do is to tell the customers how the product or service will benefit them. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible to sell anything.
（ 42 ）Look for long-term benefits.
As you begin to look for benefits, beware of shortsightedness. Students tend to look fbr instant gratification-what's in it for me…right this very second in nay life.
（ 43 ）Act like a baby-sitter.
Pretend that you're counseling a younger brother or sister about a particular class and you sense a negative attitude. You want to tell them how important such a course is and why it should be taken seriously. What advice would you give?
（ 44 ）Remember the Tortoise and the Hare.
This is a story that you no doubt have heard since you were a child. The two, as you recall, were in a race. The hare should have won hands down, no sweat. But he took his talent for granted and underestimated a competitor with great attitude.
（ 45 ）Avoid making negative comments about the course or the professor.
Keep your comments positive-they foster a positive attitude. A philosopher once heard a man speaking poorly about another man in public. The philosopher stopped the speaker and admonished him not to say such damaging things about another. The speaker asked the philosopher if he was trying to protect the man who was subject of the negative comments. “No,” said the philosopher calmly, “I was trying to protect you from yourself.” Negative comments about people can become self-destructive.
Remember, attitude, not ability, will determine your success in college.So, develop a positive attitude toward the course you are learning, and you will succeed.
[ A ] The results are always the same: Excuses. “1 would have, could have, should have.” “That damned coach hates me.” 'That instructor doesn't like the way I dress.“ The list goes on. You've heard it over and over by those who fail to reach their altitude, usually because of their attitude.
[ B ] Attitude beats aptitude every time.
[ C ] I discovered this approach when I was about 12 years old and was baby-sitting for our neighbor's kids. One day I started lecturing the kids about picking up their clothes and putting toys away. As I did, I began to sound like my own parents, Horrors. When I got home, I immediately cleaned my own room. My mother nearly fainted. By giving someone else good, solid advice, you teach yourself
[ D ] Therefore, find the benefit to you by looking at the syllabus and discovering two or three issues that you find interesting. Focus on those for starters. Other benefits will follow.
[ E ] This will disappoint you because it's difficult to see how Columbus' rationale for exploration in 1492 has any direct, right-now impact on your life. Rather than this myopic stance, take the long view to learning. Ask yourself, ”What can history teach me?“ ”Will understanding the why's help me understand the what's'?“ The answer is absolutely…YES. What you learn in college helps prepare you to think through important issues and apply them to your daily life.
[ F ] Making and repeating comments begins to program your thinking for good or bad. When you start down this negative path it's pretty hard to get back. I've seen students develop an ”attitude“ and then try to defend it long after everyone else has seen that it no longer makes sense.
海文2006年考研英语冲刺模考卷—4的延伸阅读——复习英语要讲究技巧
一，重视单词。
从第一天开始复习到考试的前一天，考试大纲词汇就应不离手，因为这是一切的基础。考试大纲是命题专家出题的依据、基础，所以考生一定要重视。背单词时，可以总结同义词、一词多义以及包含“高级”短语的句子，然后跟同桌的研友们对话，或者“厚颜无耻”地主动向他们“炫耀”，同时也坚持参加英语辩论活动，把自己最新积累的词句一一“亮”出，这样考生会感觉记得特别牢固。
二，日积月累。
作为一门语言，充满了繁琐与细节的，想一口吃成大胖子是不太现实的，必须耐心地积累“量变”以求“质变”。学习英语的时间安排也是有规律可循的，如果你一天安排3个小时学英语，那么与其一鼓作气学3个小时倒不如改成上下午各1.5小时。持续学习、及时复习才能收到较为理想的效果。可以参照着名的“艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”来合理安排时间，最大限度地降低遗忘率，以获得较好的学习效果。
三，研读真题。
历年考研英语全真试题是了解考研水平的最快途径，也是熟悉命题规律的唯一途径。所以要在老师的指导下分阶段复习考研英语真题。找一个安静的环境，先用一周的时间做一套真题，做完后，对自己的错题先看一下怎么错的，错在哪里，能不能解决。剩下的时间要分析题型，也就是看这些题目是属于细节题、推理题，还是主旨大意题……当复习完十年的真题，建议考生放20天左右的时间，重新再做真题，分析自己的做题思路，考前一个月适当做些高质量的模拟题练练手。另外，希望考生真题至少看三遍。第一遍先做，做完之后归纳总结错题的原因。第二遍主要精读文章解决单词句子翻译。第三遍前两遍的内容都要看。
四，增加课外阅读。
课外阅读在考研英语复习中占有重要地位，对提高成绩有很大作用，建议大家订一份《英语世界》杂志，阅读上面的文章，也会有不少收获。如果有条件，看看自己学校图书馆是否有这本书，有的话坚持看，肯定会有收获的！
希望以上的介绍对2013的考研同学有所帮助，另外，大家在学习英语学习方法时，要从自身实际出发，选择真正适合自己的复习方法。 |
