　　[00:21.92]TEST 4

　　[00:25.77]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:28.68]In this section

　　[00:29.56]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:31.94]You will hear the mini-lecture

　　[00:33.44]ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:34.82]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:36.25]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:38.75]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:41.37]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:42.17]for each gap.

　　[00:44.27]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:47.58]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:50.04]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:52.70]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:54.45]for note-taking.

　　[00:56.15]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:57.41]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:29.79]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:31.99]When it is over,

　　[01:33.00]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:34.65]to check your work.

　　[01:36.40]Reading Tips

　　[01:38.22]Good morning, everyone.

　　[01:39.75]Last class we discussed

　　[01:41.45]some of the shifts and trends

　　[01:43.07]in theories relating to reading.

　　[01:45.57]This time we will examine tips

　　[01:47.61]which will help to develop

　　[01:49.21]our abilities as learners

　　[01:50.70]in reading classes.

　　[01:52.51]These tips can be viewed

　　[01:54.10]in three consecutive stages:

　　[01:55.72]before reading,

　　[01:57.38]during reading, and after reading.

　　[01:59.85]For instance,

　　[02:00.84]before starting to read a text

　　[02:02.97]it is natural to think of the purpose

　　[02:05.22]of reading the text.

　　[02:07.08]As an example of

　　[02:08.04]the during-reading techniques,

　　[02:10.28]re-reading

　　[02:10.89]for better comprehension

　　[02:12.21]can be mentioned.

　　[02:13.25]And filling out forms and charts

　　[02:16.01]can be referred to

　　[02:16.81]as an after-reading activity.

　　[02:19.77]These tasks and ideas

　　[02:20.73]can be used to enhance

　　[02:22.57]reading comprehension.

　　[02:24.43]First of all, I will introduce to you

　　[02:27.07]some pre-reading tips.

　　[02:29.37]Before the actual act

　　[02:31.24]of reading a text begins,

　　[02:32.48]some points should be noted

　　[02:34.20]in order to make the process

　　[02:35.80]of reading easier.

　　[02:37.36]It is necessary to find

　　[02:38.71]the necessary

　　[02:39.80]background information

　　[02:41.35]to facilitate comprehension.

　　[02:43.59]In addition,

　　[02:44.70]pre-reading discussion activities

　　[02:47.16]can lighten learners'

　　[02:48.59]cognitive burden while reading,

　　[02:50.47]because prior discussions

　　[02:52.17]will have been incorporated.

　　[02:54.09]Some key vocabulary and ideas

　　[02:56.94]in the text

　　[02:57.87]should be acquired beforehand,

　　[02:59.99]including key concepts,

　　[03:02.16]important vocabulary,

　　[03:03.49]and appropriate

　　[03:05.01]conceptual framework.

　　[03:06.73]The teacher may lead a discussion

　　[03:08.97]in which he or she draws out

　　[03:11.12]the information

　　[03:12.21]you already have and interjects

　　[03:14.45]additional information

　　[03:15.82]deemed necessary to

　　[03:17.14]an understanding of the text

　　[03:19.19]to be read. Moreover,

　　[03:20.97]the teacher can make explicit links

　　[03:23.40]between prior knowledge

　　[03:24.96]and important information

　　[03:26.55]in the text.

　　[03:27.71]Therefore, involve yourselves

　　[03:29.78]in this part.

　　[03:31.01]It is also necessary for you

　　[03:33.56]to become aware of the purpose

　　[03:35.63]and goal of reading a certain piece

　　[03:37.52]of written material.

　　[03:39.20]At the beginning stage

　　[03:41.13]this can be done by the teacher,

　　[03:43.19]but as you become more mature,

　　[03:45.28]this purpose, i.e.

　　[03:47.64]awareness-raising strategy,

　　[03:49.27]can be left to yourselves.

　　[03:51.68]For instance,

　　[03:52.90]you may be guided

　　[03:53.98]to ask yourselves,

　　[03:55.19]"Why am I reading this text?

　　[03:57.18]What do I want to know

　　[03:58.87]or do after reading?"

　　[04:00.72]One of the most obvious,

　　[04:02.53]but unnoticed points

　　[04:03.93]related to reading purpose

　　[04:05.83]is the consideration

　　[04:07.27]of the different types of reading skills.

　　[04:09.87]Skimming is reading rapidly

　　[04:12.05]for the main points;

　　[04:13.59]scanning is reading rapidly

　　[04:15.99]to find a specific piece

　　[04:17.62]of information;

　　[04:19.01]extensive reading

　　[04:20.34]is reading a longer text,

　　[04:22.18]often for pleasure with emphasis

　　[04:24.76]on overall meaning;

　　[04:26.20]intensive reading

　　[04:27.84]is reading a short text

　　[04:29.20]for detailed information.

　　[04:31.21]However, the four skills are

　　[04:33.01]often subsumed into one—

　　[04:34.98]intensive reading.

　　[04:36.97]The most frequently

　　[04:38.54]encountered reason is

　　[04:39.64]that when you study

　　[04:41.20]a foreign language,

　　[04:42.49]you feel the urge

　　[04:43.78]to look up every word

　　[04:45.06]you don't understand

　　[04:46.41]and to pinpoint

　　[04:47.81]every structural point

　　[04:49.49]you see unfamiliar.

　　[04:51.64]To be aware of

　　[04:52.80]the different types of reading,

　　[04:54.19]ask yourselves about the types

　　[04:56.34]of reading you do

　　[04:58.02]in your first language.

　　[04:59.15]What's more, you must

　　[05:00.89]become familiar with the fact

　　[05:02.78]that texts may take

　　[05:04.23]on different forms

　　[05:05.51]and hold certain pieces of information

　　[05:07.94]in different places.

　　[05:09.41]Thus, it is necessary to understand

　　[05:11.57]the layout of the material

　　[05:13.49]being read in order to

　　[05:15.42]focus more deeply on the parts

　　[05:17.24]that are more

　　[05:18.16]densely compacted with information.

　　[05:20.18]Even paying attention to the year

　　[05:22.35]of publication of a text,

　　[05:24.33]if applicable,

　　[05:25.56]may aid you in presuppositions

　　[05:27.85]about the text

　　[05:29.43]as can glancing at the name

　　[05:31.13]of the author.

　　[05:32.27]The tips I mentioned in pre-reading

　　[05:34.58]will not take a very long time

　　[05:36.44]to carry out.

　　[05:37.30]The purpose is to remind you

　　[05:39.37]to overcome the common urge

　　[05:41.30]to start reading a text closely

　　[05:43.71]right away from the beginning.

　　[05:45.60]After learning

　　[05:46.65]about the pre-reading tips,

　　[05:48.35]of course we will move

　　[05:49.83]to the during-reading tips.

　　[05:52.18]What follows are tips

　　[05:53.80]that encourage active reading.

　　[05:55.72]They consist of summarizing,

　　[05:58.02]reacting, questioning,

　　[06:00.05]arguing, evaluating,

　　[06:01.96]and placing a text within one's

　　[06:03.80]own experience.

　　[06:05.73]These processes may be

　　[06:07.40]the most complex

　　[06:08.50]to develop in a classroom setting,

　　[06:10.94]the reason being that

　　[06:12.50]in English reading classes

　　[06:13.96]most attention

　　[06:15.11]is often paid to dictionaries,

　　[06:17.47]the text,

　　[06:18.06]and the teacher.

　　[06:19.09]The teacher

　　[06:20.02]may interrupt this routine

　　[06:21.83]and encourage you to talk

　　[06:23.33]about what you are reading.

　　[06:25.31]I suggest the following strategies.

　　[06:28.06]① Make predictions as to

　　[06:30.26]what is going to happen next

　　[06:32.15]in the text and be able to integrate

　　[06:34.64]and combine what has come

　　[06:36.65]with what is to come.

　　[06:38.05]② Readers who are

　　[06:40.15]more proficient read selectively,

　　[06:42.13]continually making decisions

　　[06:44.35]about their reading.

　　[06:45.91]③ The prior knowledge

　　[06:47.84]that has been activated

　　[06:48.98]in the pre-reading section

　　[06:50.66]should be called up

　　[06:52.01]to facilitate comprehension.

　　[06:54.11]④ Concentrate on

　　[06:56.59]significant pieces of information

　　[06:58.74]while skipping insignificant pieces.

　　[07:01.49]⑤ Make use of context or guess.

　　[07:04.85]You are not encouraged to define

　　[07:06.96]and understand every single

　　[07:09.02]unknown word in a text.

　　[07:11.79]Instead you should learn

　　[07:13.21]to make use of context to guess

　　[07:15.86]the meaning of unknown words.

　　[07:18.26]⑥ Break words into

　　[07:20.14]their component parts

　　[07:21.19]to keep the process

　　[07:22.76]of comprehension ongoing.

　　[07:24.52]Efficient readers break words

　　[07:26.93]into their affixes or bases.

　　[07:29.43]These parts can help you

　　[07:30.94]guess the meaning of a word.

　　[07:32.89]⑦ Read in chunks.

　　[07:35.67]To ensure reading speed,

　　[07:38.06]you should get used to

　　[07:39.23]reading groups of words together.

　　[07:41.45]This act will also

　　[07:43.07]enhance comprehension

　　[07:44.33]by focusing on groups

　　[07:46.30]of meaning-conveying symbols

　　[07:48.38]simultaneously.

　　[07:49.84]⑧ Learn to pause.

　　[07:52.29]Good readers will pause

　　[07:54.31]at certain places

　　[07:55.77]while reading a text to absorb

　　[07:57.75]and internalize the material

　　[07:59.67]being read

　　[08:00.60]and sort out information.

　　[08:03.70]⑨ Paraphrase.

　　[08:05.15]While reading texts it may be

　　[08:07.41]necessary to paraphrase

　　[08:08.97]and interpret texts subvocally

　　[08:11.28]in order to verify what

　　[08:13.34]was comprehended.

　　[08:15.26]Finally, I will give you

　　[08:17.36]several after-reading tips.

　　[08:19.28]It is necessary to state

　　[08:21.22]that post-reading activities almost

　　[08:23.41]always depend on

　　[08:24.82]the purpose of reading.

　　[08:26.23]Doing post-reading exercises

　　[08:28.09]first checks your comprehension

　　[08:30.28]and then leads you to

　　[08:31.51]a deeper analysis of the text.

　　[08:33.84]In the real world

　　[08:35.59]the purpose of reading

　　[08:36.87]is not to memorize

　　[08:38.29]an author's point of view

　　[08:39.87]or to summarize text content,

　　[08:42.68]but rather to see

　　[08:44.11]into another mind,

　　[08:45.73]or to mesh new information

　　[08:47.83]with what one already knows.

　　[08:50.28]Group discussion will help you

　　[08:51.96]focus on information

　　[08:53.43]you did not comprehend,

　　[08:54.90]or comprehended incorrectly.

　　[08:57.28]Accordingly, attention will be

　　[08:59.60]focused on processes

　　[09:00.98]that lead to comprehension

　　[09:02.54]or miscomprehension.

　　[09:04.65]Generally speaking,

　　[09:06.15]post-reading can take the form

　　[09:08.30]of various activities

　　[09:09.68]such as discussing the text,

　　[09:12.28]summarizing, making questions,

　　[09:14.63]filling in forms and charts,

　　[09:17.00]writing reading logs,

　　[09:18.86]role-playing and so on.

　　[09:20.64]OK. That's all for today's lecture.

　　[09:23.41]I hope these suggestions

　　[09:25.06]can be helpful during your reading.

　　[09:26.82]See you next week.

　　[09:30.32]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[09:31.75]to check your work.

　　[12:33.64]This is the end

　　[12:34.44]of Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[12:38.06]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[12:40.64]In this section

　　[12:41.94]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[12:43.78]The interview will be

　　[12:45.43]divided into TWO parts.

　　[12:47.36]At the end of each part,

　　[12:49.38]five questions will be

　　[12:50.56]asked about what was said.

　　[12:52.20]Both the interview

　　[12:53.46]and the questions

　　[12:54.66]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[12:56.97]After each question

　　[12:58.47]there will be

　　[12:59.37]a ten-second pause.

　　[13:00.60]During the pause,

　　[13:01.70]you should read

　　[13:02.59]the four choices

　　[13:03.69]of A, B, C and D,

　　[13:06.70]and mark the best answer

　　[13:08.44]to each question

　　[13:09.59]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[13:11.48]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[13:12.93]to preview the questions.

　　[13:45.02]Now, listen to Part One

　　[13:46.47]of the interview.

　　[13:48.07]Questions 1 to 5

　　[13:49.37]are based on

　　[13:50.34]Part One of the interview.

　　[13:52.84]W: Many people

　　[13:53.58]dream of making it big,

　　[13:55.08]buying a bigger house,

　　[13:56.63]designer clothes and a nicer car,

　　[13:59.33]but with a record number

　　[14:01.08]of millionaires

　　[14:02.34]now living right here

　　[14:03.61]in the United States,

　　[14:04.74]an age-old question

　　[14:06.33]is now front and center-

　　[14:07.80]can money really buy happiness?

　　[14:10.62]Best-selling author David Bach

　　[14:12.99]is a psychiatrist and a money advisor

　　[14:15.39]on CNBC's The Millionaire Inside.

　　[14:18.69]Going from rags to riches,

　　[14:21.65]he says he found happiness

　　[14:23.38]but it wasn't just about dollars

　　[14:25.44]and cents.

　　[14:26.56]Morning, David.

　　[14:27.81]M: Good morning, Maggie.

　　[14:29.75]W: What do you think

　　[14:31.26]that makes people happy then,

　　[14:33.14]if they have no money?

　　[14:34.43]M: Well, I think

　　[14:36.28]what most Americans really want

　　[14:38.11]is freedom.

　　[14:39.26]We are in the land of the free,

　　[14:41.70]but when three out of four people

　　[14:43.52]are living paycheck to paycheck,

　　[14:45.15]they don't feel free.

　　[14:47.08]So I think there are

　　[14:48.45]a lot of opportunities

　　[14:49.79]for the average American

　　[14:51.21]to become what I call

　　[14:52.89]an automatic millionaire,

　　[14:55.51]which means paying yourself first,

　　[14:57.57]saving one hour a day

　　[14:59.76]of your income and spending less.

　　[15:02.36]W: Do you mean

　　[15:03.35]that people having different levels

　　[15:04.94]of life all have to do the same thing?

　　[15:07.81]M: Absolutely.

　　[15:09.04]In different levels of life,

　　[15:10.99]you have to survive all them,

　　[15:12.98]or someone really is living

　　[15:14.94]paycheck to paycheck.

　　[15:16.27]Then you have security,

　　[15:18.32]where someone as you

　　[15:19.74]might have basic means

　　[15:20.96]to cover.

　　[15:21.84]Maybe that gets six months

　　[15:23.59]to years with the expenses pre-set.

　　[15:26.43]Once you get past

　　[15:28.05]a year of expenses,

　　[15:29.22]you start to become free.

　　[15:31.14]W: You also say

　　[15:32.69]that happiness is not as simple

　　[15:34.40]as making more money.

　　[15:35.99]M: Yes.

　　[15:37.33]The more money you have,

　　[15:38.88]the more you are going to spend

　　[15:40.42]anyway.

　　[15:41.76]People don't know

　　[15:42.77]how to keep their money.

　　[15:44.49]And people don't know

　　[15:45.61]how to spend it wisely.

　　[15:47.51]W: We spend so much time

　　[15:49.10]in our lives trying

　　[15:50.49]to make money.

　　[15:51.57]We must believe

　　[15:52.72]it's going to bring us happiness.

　　[15:54.50]But the research

　　[15:56.14]you have ever done about it

　　[15:57.62]is a kind of mixed, isn't it?

　　[15:59.78]M: Well, the research is mixed.

　　[16:02.33]And I think

　　[16:03.62]part of the reason for that

　　[16:05.05]is that people acknowledge

　　[16:06.47]in their souls,

　　[16:07.53]if not in their wallets,

　　[16:08.93]that it won't make them happy.

　　[16:10.79]Most people don't marry for money;

　　[16:13.38]most people don't pursue careers

　　[16:16.29]simply for the money.

　　[16:17.89]There are a lot of teachers

　　[16:19.39]in America,

　　[16:20.38]who won't trade their jobs

　　[16:21.87]for a sales job to make more.

　　[16:24.51]So we vote with our fit,

　　[16:26.97]in that sense.

　　[16:29.13]This is the end of

　　[16:29.97]Part One of the interview.

　　[16:32.17]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[16:34.66]what you have just heard.

　　[16:36.37]1. What is David Bach's occupation?

　　[16:51.27]2. According to David Bach,

　　[16:54.44]what do most Americans really want?

　　[17:07.23]3. According to the interview,

　　[17:10.35]which of the following is

　　[17:11.65]NOT the way

　　[17:12.85]to become automatic millionaires?

　　[17:25.10]4. According to David Bach,

　　[17:28.23]why is happiness NOT as simple

　　[17:30.47]as making more money?

　　[17:42.01]5. What does David Bach say

　　[17:44.85]about the teachers in America?

　　[17:57.64]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[17:59.35]of the interview.

　　[18:00.90]Questions 6 to 10

　　[18:02.29]are based on

　　[18:03.14]Part Two of the interview.

　　[18:05.80]W: But the problem is

　　[18:07.02]we see all these people out there

　　[18:08.81]today,

　　[18:10.34]with the yachts,

　　[18:10.31]with the boats,

　　[18:11.01]the planes,

　　[18:11.61]the big houses,

　　[18:12.53]all of these.

　　[18:14.06]And we think we want that too.

　　[18:16.46]They look happy;

　　[18:17.62]they have all these conditions.

　　[18:19.64]How do you explain that?

　　[18:21.40]M: It looks that way.

　　[18:22.90]More millionaires,

　　[18:24.49]more multi-millionaires,

　　[18:26.06]more billionaires than ever,

　　[18:27.70]and they have all the toys.

　　[18:29.92]But the research also indicates

　　[18:32.19]about scale.

　　[18:33.56]You can get somebody

　　[18:35.08]enough money to take them

　　[18:36.39]from poverty to middle class,

　　[18:38.26]which makes people happy,

　　[18:40.34]but a lot more money,

　　[18:41.82]to go from five hundred thousand

　　[18:44.08]to five million,

　　[18:45.46]doesn't make them happy.

　　[18:48.04]W: I agree.

　　[18:48.87]Money is going to

　　[18:50.78]have the more significant impact

　　[18:53.02]on those low income individuals.

　　[18:54.83]People who have very little

　　[18:56.53]are making 20 thousand dollars.

　　[18:58.84]They get from 20

　　[19:00.30]to 50 thousand dollars.

　　[19:02.28]That's going to

　　[19:03.42]have a big impact on them.

　　[19:05.22]M: That would.

　　[19:06.38]But I have never had anybody

　　[19:08.88]who comes in and says

　　[19:10.34]that he or she needs

　　[19:11.40]a little more money.

　　[19:12.74]It is all about:

　　[19:14.26]do I feel loved,

　　[19:15.80]and do I love something

　　[19:17.43]in the world.

　　[19:18.34]In other words,

　　[19:19.11]doing work

　　[19:20.07]that does not speak to your heart

　　[19:21.92]but makes lots of money

　　[19:23.57]is a prescription for disaster.

　　[19:26.43]W: I've listened to the surveys

　　[19:28.10]of the kinds of jobs

　　[19:29.53]that make people the happiest;

　　[19:31.29]they aren't necessarily the jobs

　　[19:33.46]that pay the most money.

　　[19:35.38]They are things like teachers,

　　[19:37.14]social workers,

　　[19:38.36]firefighters,

　　[19:39.37]not necessarily

　　[19:40.62]highly-paid jobs.

　　[19:42.32]M: I will still quote

　　[19:44.28]my own psychologist

　　[19:45.60]when I was in therapy.

　　[19:47.26]He said, the last place

　　[19:49.46]you want to be

　　[19:50.36]is in the first-class seat on a plane

　　[19:52.55]going somewhere

　　[19:53.68]you don't want to go.

　　[19:54.93]Absolutely true.

　　[19:57.52]It's really about feeling loved.

　　[20:00.05]The people who come to me

　　[20:01.70]were in the toughest spots.

　　[20:04.08]I am convinced

　　[20:05.57]they are well loved,

　　[20:06.72]and they are convinced

　　[20:08.18]there is something in the world

　　[20:09.57]that they genuinely have passion

　　[20:11.57]and love for.

　　[20:13.00]W: Good, passion is another thing

　　[20:15.54]that makes people happy.

　　[20:17.09]Health and passion.

　　[20:18.63]M: Yes.

　　[20:19.77]Health is at the top of the list

　　[20:22.56]in terms of what makes you happy.

　　[20:24.77]Having a good relationship

　　[20:26.27]with people,

　　[20:27.17]having a lot of

　　[20:28.43]very close personal friends,

　　[20:29.98]having a good marriage,

　　[20:31.52]these are the types of things

　　[20:33.47]that make people happy.

　　[20:35.04]By the way, the health,

　　[20:36.87]money can help you

　　[20:38.69]buy happiness there,

　　[20:39.85]because money can give you access

　　[20:41.65]to the best health care in the world.

　　[20:44.11]But you still have to

　　[20:45.38]take care of yourselves.

　　[20:46.95]It can't make you healthier.

　　[20:49.33]And if you flip that around,

　　[20:51.66]then you get to the core

　　[20:53.34]of what really makes people happy.

　　[20:55.42]Because sometimes you have to

　　[20:57.42]take the negative

　　[20:58.43]to see that you are content now.

　　[21:00.57]So if people were to imagine

　　[21:02.73]that their children

　　[21:04.07]were not well got for being,

　　[21:05.19]then they would realize

　　[21:06.63]that they are pretty content

　　[21:08.24]even though their cars

　　[21:09.56]are years older than they'd like.

　　[21:11.95]W: Yes, no question.

　　[21:13.40]Well again,

　　[21:14.64]the age-old question.

　　[21:15.80]We continue to debate it still.

　　[21:18.41]David, thanks.

　　[21:19.81]M: Thank you, Maggie!

　　[21:20.62]This is the end of

　　[21:22.56]Part Two of the interview.

　　[21:24.53]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[21:26.66]what you have just heard.

　　[21:28.32]6. What kind of people

　　[21:31.75]will be more significantly

　　[21:33.30]impacted on by money?

　　[21:45.43]7. Which of the following jobs

　　[21:48.03]probably brings

　　[21:49.31]the least happiness to people?

　　[22:01.15]8. What does the statement

　　[22:03.88]of David Bach's own psychologist

　　[22:06.05]show?

　　[22:17.13]9. According to David Bach,

　　[22:20.68]what is at the top of the list

　　[22:22.63]in terms of

　　[22:23.36]what makes people happy?

　　[22:35.13]10. What is mainly discussed

　　[22:37.93]in this part of the interview?
