People select news in expectation of a reward.This reward may be either of two kinds.One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle，the other to what he calls the Reality Principle.For want of better names，we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general，the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption，accidents and disasters，sports，social events，and human interest.Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs，economic matters，social problems，science，education，and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once.A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved.He can tremble wildly at an axemurder，shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane，identify himself with the winning team，laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind，however，pays its rewards later.It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance—as，for example，when he reads of the threatening foreign situation，the mounting national debt，rising taxes，falling market，scarce housing，and cancer.It has a kind of “threat value”．It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared.When a reader selects delayed reward news，he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work.When he selects news of the other kind，he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual，of course，the boundaries of these two classes are not stable.For example，a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem，rather than for its immediate reward.A coach may read a sports story for its threat value：he may have to play that team next week.A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting，not for its delayed reward，but very much as his wife reads an account of a party.In any given story of corruption or disaster，a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience，but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness.Therefore，while the division of categories holds in general，an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another，or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.
What news stories do you read？
Division of news stories •People expect to get 71.________ from reading news.
•News stories are roughly divided into two classes.
•Some news will excite their readers instantly while others won’t.
72.________ of the two classes
•News of immediate reward will seemingly take their readers to the very frightening scene without actual 73.________.
•Readers will associate themselves closely with what happens in the news stories and 74.________ similar feelings with those involved.
•News of delayed reward will make readers suffer，or present a 75.________ to them.
•News of delayed reward will induce the reader to 76.________ for the reality while news of immediate reward will lead the reader to 77.________ from the reality.
Unstable boundaries of the two classes •What readers expect from news stories are largely shaped by their 78.________.
•Serious readers will both get excited over what happens in some news stories and 79.________ themselves to the reality.
•Thus，the division，on the whole，80.________ on the reader.

The expression，“everybody’s doing it，” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure.It is a strong influence of a group，especially of children，on members of that group to behave as everybody else does.It can be positive or negative.Most people experience it in some way during their lives.
People are social creatures by nature，and so it is hardly surprising that part of their selfrespect comes from the approval of others.This instinct(天性) is why the approval of peers，or the fear of disapproval，is such a powerful force in many people’s lives.It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work，or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you？” even if it is not necessarily true.There is a practical aspect to this：it helps society to function efficiently，and encourages a general level of selfdiscipline that simplifies daytoday interaction.
For certain individuals，seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction；in order to satisfy the desire，they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong.Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs，or join
gangs that encourage criminal behavior.Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work，or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to “keep up with the Joneses.”
However，peer pressure is not always negative.A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades.Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win.This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs，or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure.They teach kids to stand up and be themselves，and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong.Similarly，it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.

Quiet Virtue：The Conscientious
The everyday signs of conscientiousness(认真尽责)—being punctual，careful in doing work，selfdisciplined，and scrupulous(一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen，the people who keep things running as they should.They follow the rules，help out，and are concerned about the people they work with.It’s the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence，who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves，who always gets things done on deadline.
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field.In studies of job performance，outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from semiskilled labor to sales and management，depends on conscientiousness.It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization：the secretary whose message taking is perfect，the delivery truck driver who is always on time.
Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer，those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales.Conscientiousness also offers a buffer(缓冲)against
the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market，because employees with this quality are among the most valued.For the sales representatives，their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.
There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are.Their reputation for dependability influences managers’ evaluations of their work，giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems.Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves，they can hold other people to their own standards，and so be overly judgmental when others don’t show the same high levels of model behavior.Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious，for example，tended to criticize coworkers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized，which damaged their relationships.
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations，it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising，openness to wild ideas and spontaneity(自发性)are scarce and in demand.Success in such occupations calls for a balance，however；without enough conscientiousness to follow through，people become mere dreamers，with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.

转换成表格中：Similarities between taking a gap year and going to university...
(3)句子结构转换。如：
原文：One likely development will be a gradual change in the family unit；the other likely development will be a change in the proportion of the nation’s workforce.
转换成三个词以内的名词短语：family unit change；workforce proportion change
(注意抓住句子中传达主要信息的关键词)
(4)另选其他词来释义。如：
原文：...The ministry warned that thefts and robberies inside or near banks rose rapidly，with the victims mostly women and elderly people...It advised people not to take large amount of cash while traveling，especially during the approaching Spring Festival season，which always witnesses a large number of crimes.
转换成表格中：Theft and robbery accounted for 80%；women and elderly people were mostly targeted for；people were advised to avoid taking a large amount of cash.
3．学会归纳、概括
原文第一段：By the end of this decade，more than half of the world’s population will live in cities.Urbanization brings many problems to almost every country in the world，among which energy is one of the most serious one.
概括成题目：Title：Urbanization and Development
复习时注意积累一些概括性的词汇，它们的特征是：(1)概括性，在最大限度上覆盖栏内信息；(2)针对性，不能太大也不能太小，量体裁衣，大小适度；(3)醒目性，注意措词。如：reason(s)，cause(s)，result(s)，effect(s)，consequence(s)，advice，suggestion(s)，opinion(s)，problem(s)，measure(s)，solution(s)，way(s)，form(s)，feature(s)，characteristics，type(s)，advantage(s)，disadvantage(s)，difference(s)，similarities，name(s)，age，time，costs，event(s)，purpose(s)等。

(2015·南京市高三三模)
The emotional bond a child secures with its parents has a greater impact on its education than previously thought，a report suggests.The Sutton Trust study says children’s early attachment to parents has farreaching consequences for their ability to speak，learn and think.Parents who are insecure themselves find it harder to provide children with security，it says.And the report calls for more help so parents can develop such crucial bonds.The study focuses on the application of the theory of attachment—a key theory in children’s development and psychology.This says the degree to which children are secure and resilient as they grow up depends on their own early experiences with their mothers and fathers and how they have bonded.
The report from the Sutton Trust education charity，entitled Baby Bonds，makes the case that it has an important impact on children’s future educational chances as well as their emotional wellbeing.It is based on an analysis of more than 100 studies on the issue，including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries.The Trust argues that although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory，it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment.And it asks them to take this into account.The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds—known as secure attachment—they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school.
And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life，with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training.They are also more likely to suffer from aggression，defiance and hyperactivity later in life.
The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents.Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found，from their observations，that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations.She added，“Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior.Shouting，looking out of the window，hitting each other...These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning.It’s really only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents.”
Research director at the Trust Conor Ryan said，“Better bonding between parents and babies could lead to more social mobility，as there is such a clear link to education，behavior and future employment.The educational divide emerges early in life，with a 19month school readiness gap between the most and least advantaged children by the age of five.
This report clearly identifies the fundamental role secure attachment could have in narrowing that school readiness gap and improving children’s life chances.“More support from health visitors，children’s centers together with local authorities in helping parents improve how they bond with young children could play a role in narrowing the education gap.”

Young people are definitely less courageous(勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago.Why is this？It’s because they are spoiled，and take for granted everything that they have or are given.
Thirty years ago，there wasn’t nearly as much blatant(公然的) disrespect for elders，peers，or other people in general.At that time，young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life，they’d have to work for it and earn it.
If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others，and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living，then where are they to learn courage?
Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life，for whatever reason.It is about being able to face any kind of hardship，and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.
Courage means being able to learn from hard times，and to take those lessons with you through life.It means having the resourcefulness(足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself，and not being afraid to do so.
Too many young people now rely on parents，siblings，older relatives and others to get them through life.Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble，and expect to have their problems solved for them.
If we are to help our young people become more courageous，we should stop spoiling them，stop doing everything for them，and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.
Once these basic principles are instilled(灌输) in our young people，I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed，and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.
It’s time to go back to older values and ideas，and to bring courage back into our young people and society.
Theme 11.________ with young people 30 years ago，those are less courageous.
The behavior of young people today •They generally show 12.________ for elders and other people.
•They take for granted whatever they have or receive.
•Many of them are too 13.________ on their parents or other relatives to get them through life.
14.________ •They are not 15.________ of the basics of respecting others.
•They are not taught to work hard to 16.________ their dreams.
•They don’t have the 17.________ to make wise decisions and overcome difficulties independently.
•They tend to expect others，such as their parents or siblings，to help them out when they are in 18.________.
Tips •Never 19.________ them；only help them when necessary.
•Teach them the skills they need to make basic life decisions by themselves.
Conclusion •It’s time we went back to older values and ideas，and 20.________ courage back into our young people and society.

(2015·淮安、宿迁、连云港、徐州四市高三第一次调研)
While feelings of disgust can increase behaviors such as lying and cheating，cleanliness can help people return to ethical behavior，according to a recent study by marketing experts at Rice University，Pennsylvania State University and Arizona State University.The study highlights the powerful impact
emotions have on individual decisionmaking.
As an emotion，disgust is designed as a protection.When people feel disgusted，they tend to remove themselves from a situation.The instinct is to protect oneself.People become focused on “self” and they’re less likely to think about other people.Small cheating starts to occur：If I’m disgusted and more focused on myself and I need to lie a little bit to gain a small advantage，I’ll do that.That’s the underlying mechanism.
In turn，the researchers found that cleansing behaviors actually keep the selfserving effects of disgust to a minimum.If you can make people think of cleaning products，the likelihood of cheating also goes away.People don’t know it，but these small emotions are constantly affecting them.
The researchers conducted three randomized experiments causing disgust through various means. The study involved 600 participants around the United States；both genders were equally represented.In one experiment，participants evaluated consumer products such as antidiarrheal medicine(止泻药)，and diapers(尿布)．In another，participants wrote essays about their most disgusting memory.In the third，participants watched a disgusting toilet scene from the movie “Trainspotting”．Once effectively disgusted，participants were willing to lie and cheat for financial gain.
In another set of experiments，after falling into the state of disgust on participants，the researchers then had them evaluate cleansing products，such as household cleaners and body washes.Those who evaluated the cleansing products did not engage in deceptive behaviors any more than those in the neutral emotion condition.
At the basic level，if you have environments that are cleaner，people should be less likely to feel
disgusted.If there is less likelihood to feel disgusted，there will be a lower likelihood that people need to be selffocused and there will be a higher likelihood for people to cooperate with each other.
The deeper meaning of the study’s findings is that these powerful emotions can be caused by a variety of small things when people are reading the newspaper or listening to the radio.What we found is that unless you ask people，they often don’t know they’re feeling disgusted.The question is how to make people more selfaware and more thoughtful about the decisionmaking process.

You’ve just graduated from business school and you feel like the world is your oyster，only to find that job offers aren’t knocking at your door as expected.Many MBAs wonder why they’re not getting hired.This can be disheartening，but as an MBA，you know that perception(洞察力) is more important than reality.The key to getting hired is an employer’s perception of you.Many MAB graduates are guilty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job.Once you discover what these common mistakes are，you can put your MBA skills to use and try to turn things in your favor and land the job you’ve been looking for.
Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training.Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs they are obviously not qualified for or which require more experience than they have.That will leave them scratching their heads at why they’re not getting interviews.Recruiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase revenues，decrease costs，and help their business succeed in some way.Show that you can help the company by providing concrete examples of relevant experience.
MBAs often have great resumes showing all the right qualifications，but then blow the interview with inappropriate behavior，such as a lack of professional appearance，poor hygiene，or even a bad attitude.It’s necessary to be on your best behavior，dress appropriately，and not seem cocky，bored，or disinterested in the company.A little enthusiasm won’t hurt you，especially when it comes to a potential new job.Every business wants to put their most enthusiastic MBAs forward with important clients and customers，so be sure to show your passion for your work.
Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you portray yourself on social media.As an MBA，you know how important networking is，and these days，most of it is done online.Don’t assume that employers aren’t interested in your online profiles.Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on potential hires.Inappropriate photos and information，such as annoying materials or implications of drinking and drug use are huge red flags to employers.Even discriminatory comments related to race，gender，or religion will leave employers with a bad impression.Make sure to remove any photos，content or links that can work against you in an employer’s eyes.
Don’t forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job.Earning your MBA was a huge accomplishment，but there’s always room for improvement.Ask your classmates，peers family，and even past coworkers or managers for feedback.Show multiple，trusted resources the job posted，your cover letter and resume.Take constructive criticism on how it can be better.Do mock interviews to help relieve any tension and gain a better idea of how you’d like to present yourself.With a few minor changes to your resume and the way you interact with others，you’ll be hearing “you’re hired” in no time！
Title Why MBA Graduates Are not Getting Hired？
Commonly made
11.________ ·Many of MBA graduates unconsciously display unfavorable signs，and 12.________ to bring out the best in yourselves.
·While 13.________ for jobs，you do not take your qualifications and experience into consideration.
