He often left the client feeling that even after two weeks hehadnt beenable to show the employees everything they needed to know. Its notthat they werentinterested; they obviously appreciated his instruction andshowed a desire to learn. Huangcouldnt figure out if the software wasdifficult for them to understand, or if he was not doinga good job ofteaching. During the next few months, Huang started to see some patterns.

　　He would get to a new client site and spendthe first week going over the software with theemployees. He usually did thisin shifts, with different groups of employees listening to hislecture. Then hewould spend the next week in installing the program and helpingindividualstroubleshoot. Huang realized that during the week of troubleshooting andansweringquestions, he ended up addressing the same issues over and over. Hewas annoyed becausemost of the individuals with whom he worked seem to haveretained very little information fromthe first week. They asked very basicquestions and often needed prompting from beginning toend. At first, hewondered if these people were just a little slow, but then he began to getthedistinct feeling that part of the problem might be his style presentinginformation.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passageyou have just heard.

　　Passage Three

　　As we help children get out into the world to do their learning well, wecan get more of the worldinto the schools. Aside from their parents, mostchildren never have any close contact with anyadults except their teachers. Nowonder they have no idea what adult life or work is like. Weneed to bring morepeople who are not full-time teachers into the schools. In New York City,underthe teachers and writers collaborative, real writers come into the schools,read theirworks, and talk to the children about the problems of their crafts. Thechildren love it. In anotherschool, a practicing attorney comes in every monthand talks to several classes about the law.Not the law that is in books, butthe law as he sees it and encounters it in his cases. And thechildren listenwith intense interest. Heres something even easier: let children worktogether,help each other, learn from each other and each others mistakes. Wenow know from thisexperience of many schools that children are often the bestteachers of other children.

　　Whats more important, we know that whenthe fifth floor six-grader who is being havingtrouble with reading, startshelping a first grader, his own reading sharply improves. A numberof schoolsare beginning to use what some call paired learning. This means that you letchildrenform partnerships with other children. Do their work even includingtheir tests together andshare whatever marks or results this work gets. Justlike grown-ups in the real world. It seemsto work.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passageyou have just heard.

　　Question 23

　　Why does the speaker say most children haveno idea what adult life is like?

　　Question 24

　　What is happening in New York City schools?

　　Question 25

　　Section C

　　Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read forthe first time, you shouldlisten carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for thesecondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard.Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.

　　Now listen to the passage.

　　Tests may be the most unpopular part ofacademic life. Students hate them because theyproduce fear and anxiety aboutbeing evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learning forlearnings sake.

　　But tests are also valuable. Awell-constructed test identifies what you know and what you stillneed tolearn. Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others.Andknowing that youll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely tomotivate you to learnthe material more thoroughly.

　　However, theres another reason you mightdislike tests: You may assume that tests have thepower to define your worth asa person. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted tobelieve that youvereceived some fundamental information about yourself from the professor,informationthat says youre a failure in some significant way.

　　This is a dangerousandwrong-headedassumption. If you do badly on a test, it doesntmean you are abad person or stupid. Or that youll never do better again, and that your lifeisruined. If you dont do well on a test, youre the same person you werebefore you took the test no better, no worse. You just did badly on a test.Thats it.

　　In short, tests are not a measure of yourvalue as an individual they are a measure only ofhow well and how much youstudied. Tests are tools; they are indirect and imperfect measuresof what weknow.

　　What does the experience of many schoolsshow?
