本来是发在我自己的阅读群里的，后来想想也在这儿发吧~

不知道咱这个群里的童鞋是不是都还在考托福或者准备考。
如果是在冲刺阶段的，那么你可以无视我这个帖子。如果是还刚刚接触托福，或者刚准备出国，还在迷茫用什么资料好的阶段的，可以看看。

众所周知，英语实力非常重要。在机经盛行的今天，敢问有多少同学愿意老老实实地去通过备考一步一步地提高自己的英语？不是急于求成就是病急乱投医。按理说，基础不太差的同学准备2-3个月的时间就可以把托福搞定了。不就是听说读写吗？ 每天都练这四块，都总结，进步肯定是很大的。可是为什么还是有那么多人准备了好久还是这么点分？

关键是我们总是在徘徊方法的对与错，把时间花在了纠结上，而不是针对问题解决问题上。包括我自己，我从来都不觉得我努力，我只能算得上貌似努力。因为每天看看都在学，有效时间有多少自己最清楚。我不想为自己辩解，什么准备的时间越长，就越疲劳。这只是借口罢了，为我自己考这么多次还没上100找点安慰。

所以提一点建议吧：
现在不急着出国，想先准备准备考考看的同学：你们真的很幸运，因为你们可以利用备考来提高自己的英语实力。众所周知，托福分数高，不代表你的英语就有多强，当然牛人除外。高分只能说明你对整个ETS出题方式非常熟悉，在这个前提下你又自己努力练习了TPO以及一系列的题。而通过这种高强度的训练，确实能让英语上一个大台阶。但是，从我自己本身角度看，这种提高还是很有限，换句话说，离到国外能够无障碍生活学习交流的目的还很远。所以我们是不是应该反思我们到底该怎么看待和对待托福考试和一系列的出国考试。

很多我认识的老师，专业都不是英语专业，但大学毕业了就是能到新东方教书。为什么他们这么厉害？有很多人就是出国未遂，然后就退而求其次兼职或者全职教书了。可别看不起新东方，即使门槛低，也不是那么好进的。那这些老师何来资本？ 就是靠准备出国考试时所下的苦功。比如杜昶旭，范衬老师都是如此。那么，为什么他们能靠准备考试就把英语提高到这种高度而我们绝大多数人不行？我这么想的，一个是态度问题，一个就是用心程度问题。我们只是为了考试而准备考试，而不是把这种考试视为提高英语的契机，所以准备了好久实力也没长多少也没什么好奇怪的，要怪就怪自己吧。

好了，认识到问题了。现在改变还来得及！考完的童鞋，别以为万事大吉了！即使你很牛，申请到了很好的学校，也请每天花一点时间提高英语实力，点滴积累非常重要！别想着出国前搞突击，没用！ 准备慢慢来的同学，请思考一下，如何才能既提高英语实力又成功杀T，找到适合自己的方法就赶紧去做。 准备短线杀T的同学，你们就先攻TPO吧，杀完T了再说。

推荐一个我最近在学的东西。
赖世雄免费学英语网--每日一读
这些都是从赖世雄自己创办的杂志中选出来的。每天都有，双休日是音乐，并且因为有版权，所以只能存30天的。所以建议从后往前听。

跟赖世雄搭档的这个老外叫karon.非常牛！中英文可以自由切换。并且还会多种语言~ 在台湾大学教书，她的发音，哎。太赞了！关键是每次他们都是本着完全解析的态度，看到类似的就会有扩展和延伸，你可以又学单词的用法，又学句子，又了解一些美国的背景。（Karon常常会用英语来讲些自己的看法）。还能听力、口语。这些文章也是很棒的。因为是杂志，就有不同的版块，比如作文、阅读。总之，就是一个字：好！ 每次只有半小时左右，再花点时间自己吸收，消化一下。每天真的花不了多少时间。但却锻炼了自己的听说读写，（很多好句子可以自己用到作文里；可以跟读听读文章；他们开始用英文聊的时候，就可以自己模仿，发音超级纯正！又锻炼了阅读，扩充了知识面（有生活也有学术））。

不多说了，大家去听听看就会明白的。对赖世雄不了解的可以百度一下，这里就不累述了。

再强调一遍，学英语，千万别贪多，嚼不烂。吃透才是关键！

这是每日一读版块：http://www.ivyenglish.com.cn/Learn/list_5_0_0.shtml （记得点最下面那个，因为上面貌似不是Karon）

主页里也有很多好的免费的学习资料，包括怎么学英语等等。大家就自己去看吧~

如果有人愿意学的话，我可以每天把我学到的东西整理出来，大家一起进步~

原文：
For Better or Worse
21世纪启示录
提示：
21世纪已到来。你认为这100年里会有什么变化呢？写一篇至少120个单词的文章，说明你的看法。
　　The 21st century is a time of innovations and challenges. With an oil shortage looming on the horizon, scientists are now exploring alternative energy sources to replace fossil fuels. Once their efforts are successful, conflicts over oil will be a thing of the past. In addition, genetic engineering will be widely applied in both medicine and agriculture. Although this new technology has incited controversy, fear will gradually dissipate as the public becomes more accepting of it.
　　While humans make advances in some areas, they are always threatening the existence of natural resources. As agriculture encroaches upon woodlands, plants and animals die out in droves due to loss of habitats. The ozone layer, vital for our survival, is being depleted at an alarming rate. Efforts to salvage nature will be fruitless as long as the economy is put first. Will the 21st century be the summit of scientific achievement as well as the doom of mankind? Only time will tell.
21世纪是创新与挑战的时代。由于石油危机逐渐逼近，科学家现正寻找能取代石化燃料的能源。一旦成功，石油引起的冲突将不复存在。此外，基因工程将在医学和农业广泛应用。虽然这种新科技引发争议，待大众的接受度提高后，恐惧的心理将逐渐消失。
人类虽然在某些方面有所进展，却也不断地威胁天然资源的保存。随着农业侵入林地，大批动植物因失去栖息地而灭绝。攸关人类生存的臭氧层，其耗竭的速度令人担忧。只要经济被摆在第一位，再怎么抢救大自然都没有用。21世纪是否会是科技成就的颠峰，以及人类的大限？只有时间才能证明。
1.
引导句：21世纪是创新与挑战的时代。
2.
发展句：各种科技不断进步，因而威胁许多动植物的生存，以及造成臭氧层被破坏。
3.
结论句：只有时间才能证明以上预测是否正确。

音频整理：
备注：Karon用英文解析时，我会把它们记下来，因为一个是英英同义转换能力，一个是可以学习口语。还有赖老师和Karon经常会引申开将一些表达和用法，我也记下来了。最后我模仿了第一段。再笔记的后面。
这篇文章我觉得从句型角度和内容角度都是很好的。内容也可以用到托福作文里，关于环境，创新与挑战等等。SAT作文里也可用~ 嗯。

我听的时候就录下来了。在附件里。我的笔记里有些是直接听写Karon的话所以就没管标点符号对不对。谅解~


1. get married时用：for richer or poorer, for better or worse, we will stay/stick together
in a larger meaning 广义上 表示in good conditions or in bad conditions
through thick and thin=no matter what it means

2. 启示录
Revelations----the book of Revelations
(一定要加s)


赖世雄说：第一段讲“未来发生什么样的事情，是好是坏都不清楚”
Karon :it would certainly be both, because it is always a way we works out.

开始讲文章，赖世雄说这是篇上乘的文章，Karon说这篇有点难，所以先start by learning the vocabularies and the idioms
学不好也别沮丧~

3.注意21st发音

is hard to 【meet the challenges】
all the old systems need to be renovated
renovation 革新innovation创新
4. oil shortage
当两个名词放在一起，第二个名词读的时候无重音

好短语to loom means to appear and be threatening
it's not here yet but it's getting closer
表示还有点距离但时间也快来临了
dandan造句： With the deadline of application looming on the horizon, students are particularly busy.

explore=look into=try out

alternative=sth. different from what we were using now right now, we are using electricity, oil, actually the main thing they are thinking of is oil.A lot of electricity comes from oil,originally.


Soon we will not have enough oil, there is an oil shortage that's getting closer,and scientists are now discussing, they are looking into/ trying out all kinds of different kinds of energy sources as we can use instead of fossil fuels that is petroleum.

学结构：looming分词，修饰oil shortage
=oil shortage approaching
petrol(英)=gasoline(美)
fossil fuels 化石燃料，namely petroleum. （石油）

5. this sentence is assuming that we are
going to be able to solve the problem,but on the other hand we have to solve the problem,because someday we will not have oil, we must come up with another answer.

6. after they have found some replacement for fossil fuels, then we will no longer fight over oil.
conflict=a fight
we will not be able to use oil as an excuse for waging war,it will be a thing of the past(sth. that happens before the history but cannot happen anymore)

to wage wars on/against.. country发动战争

have conflicts/qurral/disagreements over... 因...

7. apply to/ in.. 应用
8. to incite 煽动
to dissipate means to slowly disappear
controversy is simliar to conflict or sth that people feel very strongly about and don't agree over.
the public becomes more accepting of it= they think it is OK and allow it to go on.

In spite of this disagreement, people will slowly not be afraid of it anymore, because they will see the benefits of it. eg. maybe we will no longer have sth like hemophilia,which is 血友病（不能轻易碰撞）
gradually=step by step/ little by little
to be accepting of sth..更为接纳

9. While =though
to come into being=to come into existence.(重要！)
The first radio came into existence about
100 years ago.

10.(常用)in droves=in a large number
eg.my hair is coming out in droves头发大把大把地掉下来
as=when
to encroach upon 固定用法：
侵犯

11. vital=extremely important
if we don't have it, we cannot live. (vital不能随便用，只能是重要到没它就不能活下去了)
In order for us to keep living, we have to have an intact ozone layer.
intact完整的
deplete=destroy/use up
at an alarming rate
eg. crime is increasing at an alarming rate in this area.
托福作文开头介绍背景时常常能用到：...发展速度越来越快，以后就可以用... develops at an alarming rate.

12. salvage nature= save /protect nature.
your efforts will be fruitless=doomed 注定失败的= in vain
Karon: Here is a major problem that I just think about every country has faced on the ...and that is when you are trying to become wealthy,then you sometimes forget about some really important things like nature, so as long as you only care about money, you care about economic success, then you are
never going to
make much progress trying to save nature, your efforts will come to nothing/fail.

13..... So the 21 th could be two things: we achieve a lot of things and science but we also meet our own end.
summit 高峰
doom灭亡=meet our end
重要用法：doomed没戏的（后面一定是放坏的事）
he is doomed to failure/fail
Such a hard working man is bound to succeed.

be bound to 后面可跟坏的或者好的事。

我仿写了第一段：

The 21st century is a time of studying abroad. With the deadline of application looming on the horizon, students are particularly busy selecting schools and writing essays. Once their efforts are successful, conflicts over the feasibility of studying abroad will be a thing of the past.  In addition, the experience and statistics will be widely applied to the application next year. Athough this new tide has incited controversy , misgivings will be gradually dissipate as the public becomes more accepting of it.

有兴趣的同学可以仿写第二段，很多用法都很不错~

The Night before a Mid-Term
期中考前
2010年11月25日

提示：

请根据以下三张连环图画的内容，以 "Josh had an important mid-term exam..." 开头，写一篇约120个单词的文章，描述图中主角所经历的事件，并提供合理的解释与结局。

　　Josh had an important mid-term exam to study for and he was fully aware that he should pull an all-nighter. Unfortunately, Josh was obsessed with reading a Spiderman comic book. He just couldn't put it down. Right as the story was getting to an exciting part, his mother suddenly opened his door, practically scaring the pants off of him.

　　Josh tried to stash the comic under his notebook, but it was too late — he was caught red-handed. His mother not only took the comic book away but also threatened to tear it up into a million pieces. Josh begged his mother not to destroy it because the comic belonged to his classmate. His mother told him the only way to save Spiderman was to ace his mid-term tomorrow.　　

    1.  引导句：    乔许明天要考试却沉迷看漫画。

    2.  发展句：    乔许被妈妈发现偷看漫画。

    3.  结论句：    妈妈要乔许考试考好才把漫画还他。

　　乔许得准备重要的期中考，也十分清楚他应该熬夜苦读。不幸的是，乔许看蜘蛛人的漫画看到无法自拔。他舍不得放下漫画。故事进行到正刺激时，他妈妈突然打开他的房门，几乎把他吓得魂不附体。

　　乔许想把漫画藏到笔记本下面，却为时已晚――他被逮个正着。他妈妈不只把漫画没收，还威胁要把它撕个粉碎。乔许求妈妈别毁了漫画书，因为那是他同学的。他妈妈说要解救『蜘蛛人』的唯一办法就是把明天的期中考考好。

Karon 版本
Josh had an important mid-term exam to study for, but he just couldn't bring himself to buckle down and study for it. It wasn't that history was really that hard, or that he disliked it. The problem seems to be ...habit, pure and simple. He'd fallen into a pattern of just not being able to really hit the books until there was just enough time to get through the material once... if he stayed up all night. It was only eight p.m.,so he started reading his favorate novel, Lu Dingji, just then his mom burst into his room. She had caught him red-handed, and a long —— and very tiresome——lecture followed. But would he change his deeply engrained habit? Not in response to yet another long lecture, he wouldn't, Josh thought to himself.  

be aware (of)

scare the pants off of sb.吓的屁滚尿流
to stash = to hide.
be caught red-handed=be caught in the act  现场活逮

What Success Means to Me
成功之于我
2010年11月26日


　学生原稿：

Many people regard wealth symbol of success, but this isn't always true. There are other indicators that also define success.

The first of three, knowledge equals to power and in my opinion, it as well as means success. Knowledgeable people cannot only use that they've learned to encounter difficulties, but also have better thinking of the world around them. Second, people who have true friendships are successful. Our friends are valuable and real friends will stand us up and arrive at our rescue whenever we are in trouble. Last but not least, health is a necessary factor of success, too. Only with good health, we can enjoy life. Save some time to consider the things that bring happiness to your life. When you possess these things, no matter big or small, you are truely successful.

Karon修改版本
Many people view wealth as the most important index of success, but I don’t necessarily agree. There are other ways to define success.

First, knowledge is power, and in my opinion, that makes it an indicator of success. Knowledgeable people can use what they know both to deal with the difficulties they encounter in life and to better appreciate the world around them. Second, people who maintain true and lasting friendships are, in my opinion, successful people. Friends are valuable to us; true friends will come to rescue us when we are in need. Finally, health is a necessary ingredient of success as well. Only if we are in good health can we enjoy life. Now and then, we should pause to consider the things to bring happiness. If you possess the three things just list it, in whatever quantity, you are a truly successful person.


范文：

Often times, people regard wealth as the only way to measure one’s success. But there are additional ways to see oneself and others as successful.

Sitting back and never learning anything new is a sign of being a failure in life. But, if you make improving your mind a top priority, you are successful by any measure. Once you've achieved your educational goals, you must spread what you've learned around. Friends are also symbolic of a person's success. It isn't the number of friends, but the quality that really counts. Having people in your life you can depend on in a time of crisis is better than any amount of money. A healthy mind and body is the final piece of the puzzle, as it shows the world that you want to live your life to the fullest. When you have knowledge, friends, and a body that is fit, you are a successful person.


often time 往往
sit back= 无所事事
make sb. a top priority.
by any measure用任何尺度
to be symbolic of=to be symbol of

译文：

　　通常人们将财富视为衡量成功的唯一方式。然而，检视自己和他人是否成功还有其它方法。

　　成天痴等而从不想学习新事物是人生失败的征兆。但是，假如你将提升心智视为头等要事，从各方面来说你就是成功。一旦达到你的教育目标，你就必须广泛运用所学。朋友象征一个人的成功。重要的不是朋友的多寡，而在于朋友的品性。在你人生中的危急时刻，有朋友依靠比任何金钱都来得受用。健全的身心是拼凑成功的最后一片拼图，因为这向世人证明你想活出精采的人生。当你拥有知识、良友和健康的身体，你就是一个成功的人。

Brain Food
吃得健康又聪明
2010年11月29日


　Oatmeal may not sound as appealing as a greasy ham and egg sandwich smothered in mayonnaise, but research shows that it can have profound benefits on the way your brain functions. By slowly releasing the natural sugars within, oatmeal can _speed up(1)_ the activity of your brain, stabilize your mood, aid in concentration, and help you recall information. Digging into a bowl of oatmeal while _on(2)_ your way to school or work may not be easy, but it will give you a head start on your day.

Besides oatmeal, there are plenty of other foods that can be just as _beneficial(3)_ to your brain. As everyone knows, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but apples can also protect the functioning of your brain. The antioxidants _found(4)_ in them are said to prevent Alzheimer's disease and boost oxygen supply by helping the lungs function better as well.

Even the carton of milk that you have at breakfast may make you smarter. _Rich(5)_ in calcium, milk influences the release of chemicals that pass information from nerve cell to nerve cell in your brain. Without these chemicals, using your brain efficiently would be out of the question_(6)_.

Food is fuel for your body. _no matter(7)_ what you eat, good or bad, it will help you go. But just like a car, the quality of gas you put in will affect its overall performance.

　　虽然燕麦片听起来不像抹着美乃滋的火腿蛋三明治那样吸引人，但研究显示，它对你大脑运作的方式有大大的益处。燕麦片藉由慢慢释放出内含的天然糖类，可加速脑部活动、稳定情绪、有助于集中精神，还能帮助你回想脑中信息。虽然要在上学上班的途中大口吃着一碗燕麦片恐怕不容易，却能让你的一天有个好开始。

　　除了燕麦片，还有很多其它食物对你的大脑同样有益。大家都知道『一日一苹果，医生远离我』，而苹果也能保护大脑的运作。其内含的抗氧化剂据说可预防阿兹海默症，并且藉由强化肺部功能，提高脑中含氧量。

　　早餐喝一盒牛奶也会让你更聪明。牛奶富含钙质，会影响某些化学物质的释放，而这些化学物质则负责大脑神经细胞间讯息的传递。少了这些化学物，你的大脑将无法有效运作。

　　食物是身体的燃料。无论你吃了什么好的坏的，都会帮助你活下去。不过就像汽车，你所加的汽油质量会对整体表现有很大的影响。

Wash and Read
阅读新体验
2010年11月30日


　After a demanding day, nothing is as relaxing as soaking in a tub of soapy water while reading a novel. You towel off your fingers before carefully turning each page. Suddenly you lose your grip, _dropping(1)_ your novel into the bathtub. Within a fraction of a second, it is ruined and you're left with a soggy mess.

This tragic end to your book could have been avoided completely _had(2)_ the book been manufactured with technology used in the production of DuraBooks. Developed by Melcher Media, DuraBooks are tough, waterproof, and the most revolutionary _breakthrough(3)_ in the publishing industry in years. The trick in producing a waterproof novel _lies(4)_ in finding a binding that can withstand being submerged. When most bindings hit water, they _dissolve(5)_. The only way to produce a waterproof book is to develop a water-resistant binding.


Other than the bathtub reader, who else would benefit _from(6)_ a waterproof book? Cooks in kitchens could easily wipe away sauces and spills. Auto enthusiasts could flip through a repair manual without fear of leaving behind oily fingerprints. Scuba divers could even _identify(7)_ various species of marine life by looking at a picture from a book rather than relying on their memory. Just like the number of books, the uses for DuraBooks are endless.

Anger Management
学习情绪管理
2010年12月01日


Everyone gets upset from time to time. You wouldn't be human if you didn't experience moments of irritation. Anger is a natural _response(1)_ to unpleasant situations, such as frustration, pain, or loss. But if your temper gets _out of (2)_ control, it can cause problems in many areas of your life. The only way to control anger is to understand it.

Anger _varies(3)_ from those small irritating things that make you say bad words to an all-out rage that makes you want to punch a wall. This fury may be _caused(4)_ by something you see, do, or experience. Even thinking about problems can push you past your boiling _point(5)_. When you become enraged, your heart rate and blood pressure shoot up. Hormone levels, especially _that(6)_ of adrenaline (肾上腺素), also increase and can make your body shake, face redden, and muscles tighten.

Getting _rid(7)_ of the anger is where the problems may come in. Trying to ignore it doesn't always work and can actually do more harm _(8)_ good. By trying to forget about your anger, you may end up pushing it deep inside and turning it in on yourself. Learning how to let people know that you're mad _in(9)_ a calm and cool manner is the healthiest way to express anger. If your feelings aren't about a person, but a thing, taking a deep breath and counting until you're calm can help _avoid(10)_ many bad situations. It's impossible to eliminate all the people and things that anger you. All you can do is learn to manage your feelings and not let them manage you.

　　每个人偶尔都会生气。只要是人类就会有动气的经验。愤怒是一种对不愉快情况的反应，例如沮丧、痛苦和失去等。但假如你的情绪失控，便会造成生活上各层面的问题。控制愤怒的唯一方法就是要了解它。

　　愤怒的程度不一，从让你口出恶言的烦人小怒到让人想捶墙的暴怒都有。这些怒气可能是你看到的、做的和体验到的事情所引起。甚至只要想到这些问题都会让你气炸。当你盛怒时，你的心跳和血压会迅速窜升。荷尔蒙含量，尤其是肾上腺素，也会随之增加，使你身体颤抖、脸色泛红和肌肉紧绷。

　　压抑愤怒可能反而带来问题。试图忽视不一定有用，而且事实上这么做弊多于利。尝试忘掉愤怒可能最后会将它推进心灵深处并且反噬自己。学习以平和、冷静的方式让别人知道你的愤怒是表达愤怒最健康的方式。假如你生气不是针对人，而是针对事情的话，深呼吸并开始数数，直到冷静下来，可以避免许多糟糕的情况发生。想要消除所有令你生气的人事物是不可能的。你所能做的就是学习控制你的情绪，而不是让情绪控制你。
