　　A

　　Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.

　　The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t mean that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.

　　Here’s some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions(中断); have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.

　　During the recent milk crisis in China, different related parts of the society have been put under the microscope, including stars.

　　An online survey asked if celebrity spokespersons（名人代言人） should bear responsibility for endorsing (代言) tainted milk products. Thirty four percent answered “yes”. They said that the celebrities had betrayed the trust of the people and should be more morally responsible.

　　They are right. But what’s more important is that we should train ourselves to be wise enough not to blindly accept what is being sold, even by our favorite stars.

　　No doubt television advertisements, together with other media products, inform and entertain us. But, too often, there are hidden messages in the information we receive. The songs we hear, the images we see, and the articles we read, are carefully selected to convey political, cultural, economic and moral messages. The mass media delivers us these messages in an attempt to persuade us into believing or buying whatever is being pushed.

　　The question is: should we always believe what the advertisement or mass media says? The answer is that we should use our minds to dig out the hidden meaning and rely on our own judgment to make a choice.

　　In some countries, students take a course called “media literacy”. They learn to analyze the mass media. They are encouraged to challenge everything they see or hear and to do research into missing views. They learn to ask questions and to be critical (批判性的) thinkers.

　　David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award.

　　There were times when it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.

　　Many teachers object to it. They don’t mind being evaluated. But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and can be seen by millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.de during the past four months students have posted evaluations of 100,000 teachers.

　　The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction,” “easy examinations”, or even “sexy.” Many teachers think that their privacy has been let out.

　　The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback(反馈) about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying(欺负) their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.

　　“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune(免受) from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 rankings of Germany’s best teachers.

　　53. Many teachers are opposed to the website because

　　A. their privacy has been given away

　　B. they are afraid of being assessed

　　C. their evaluations are unfair

　　D. the results are not satisfying

　　54. The founders of the website intended to

　　A. get the students to know their teachers better

　　B. conduct a survey on teachers’ performances

　　C. help the teachers to improve their teaching

　　D. change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions

　　55. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Teachers get graded by pupils

　　B. Teachers are angry with website

　　C. Teachers need self-assessment

　　D. New invention in assessing teachers

　　　 E What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,（once born） or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing . Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief. 56. According to this passage, _________.

　　A. one can choose his color preferenceB. one is born with his color preference C. one's color preference is changeable

　　D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly

　　57. We would pay attention to colors because _______.

　　A. colors do have effect on our moods B. colors may have effect on our work and study C. light and bright colors make people happy

　　A. one's color preference shows one's character

　　B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colors C. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference

　　D. one's color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings
