3.28,第一天
听力Biology，TPO17-Lect.4
Stage1, 7:10-7:45。
Stage2, 7:45-9:30看读10；9:36-11:47跟读15；11:58-13:44听读10；13:56-14：25交叉读5。读到有一种跳崖的幻觉，吐死！！这个部分太花时间了，要不要调整下呢？怎么调整呢？
Stage3+Stage4, 14:30-14:48;说实话第二遍做题依然是听一遍记笔记然后做题，但是此时脑子里全是文章，做题时使劲儿回想答案对应的那块儿是什么语气，然后对应各题标出相应的语气，有疑问，Let's..，If..，Just..，停顿，感叹+强调。。。
早上起来看到总体任务感觉听力顶多5个小时搞定的，只是担心单词，现在，更担心晚上单词的时间了！！！！
这个午饭，可以叫下午饭了，饿死了，两眼冒金星@_@..

好啦好啦，吃饭、休息加发泄，狠狠地一口气儿喘了半个小时，继续奋战，接下来该阅读了，总共需要4个小时？！我滴个神咕~~(╯﹏╰)b

你和我同一天考试... 时间很够。我们一起努力就好啦...
表间断 坚持坚持坚持。。。

snowlauraUID: 2872328

这是wuqian0801给我的回答，看完后给我的今儿疲惫地一天打了一针强心计:loveliness:，继续加油了！
调整? 很好啊。。就是要这么做。你还属于浮躁型的。我说了至少。你就按照最低限去做。不过 也ok啦。
不用调整。花时间你现在感觉不划算 等考试之后 就知道 这样超级值得。
你说的笔记和第一遍笔记相同 那么我严重质疑你跟读的效果了。 这么多遍之后 info会很多的。起码很多音就无比熟悉了...
题目只是一个Info的反映。做对题只是你宏观拿下文章的体现。当你focus在做题上的时候 磨tpo这个工作你就没法进行了... 至于语气 是体会的。而不是你说的什么let's.. um.. all right之类的总结词归纳出来..
简单说 感觉的方式就是：上语文课 老师讲课文总有说说笑话 或者停顿的点吧? 你去体悟那个停顿的点 就好了。
最后 你表质疑你的工作 你今天磨tpo也许不顺利 or 不如你意 但是请继续 米有什么好果子是可以瞬间拿到的 这个速成训练营之所以说1个月提高 它的前提是：一个月 至少20时间 每天恶魔训练 听力>8小时 阅读>4小时加油！


snowlaura：我确实有时是浮躁的，尤其听读到中午12点的时候我的精力就不集中了，很担心我今天的任务完不成了，听力至少还要两个小时，阅读还要至少4个小时，口语和写作至少至少还要2个小时，单词8个单元按我平时的背法我至少要4个小时。。。
关于那个听力的跟读，我很认真滴，记的笔记后边都很全了，不过还是非常感谢楼主，我确定了你所说的感觉真的是纯感觉，只可意会不可言传的那种，就像语感一样的。很开心跟你一起加油↖(^ω^)↗
关于今天的任务，看来务必要完成的听力和阅读我是没问题了，接下来加油完成单词！！！！
我的口语和写作( ⊙ o ⊙ )啊！我很不甘心，尽量在10点前留出来一个小时吧，~~~~(>_<)~~~~


PS：自己从任务总贴搬回来的，把我这个月的点滴全部备案在此！使劲儿折磨我的托福，让你丫见证你怎么轰轰烈烈地XX倾倒！！

juror1990UID: 2756988

先握个爪！和LZ一样4.23考，到现在为止最后悔的事情是在去年11G之后没有下决心把T解决！以至于如今天天悲剧地重复着敲键盘的生活。
T作文真是令人无奈啊，一个小小地话题竟要硬生生地掰成400字的文章、
口语平时自己练还可以，怕的是到时一紧张说话就没有逻辑没有连贯性、
其实惭愧一下，距考试一个月不到，还没有做过一套完整的真题
至此对考试没有半点把握，却不知缘何盲目地相信着自己
总结一下，也许还能吃吃G的老本，除了口语，听力没问题
听LZ这么一说，终于刺激到我了，决定明天开始认真复习~
好运！

snowlauraUID: 2872328

你好厉害啊，G都过了呃，我相信T对你来说肯定不成问题~\(≧▽≦)/~啦啦啦，加油啊！ 5# juror1990

snowlauraUID: 2872328

听力Biology，TPO17-Lect.4，7:10-14:50，一步一步地做得很认真，嗓子和上下嘴唇一度肿起来了，幸好及时灌水！！
阅读TPO9，15：30-17:00+18:15-现在21:48刚刚精析完。大概因为上午听力第一次这样练习搞得太疲惫了，模考阅读的时候状态明显不如以前，对答案后发现有史以来最差模考成绩！！果断休息，大休特休，回来沉下心来重新做一遍好很多。下午感觉晕厥的第二篇自己精析完能搞定的都搞定了。只剩第7题，已向反衬老师提交。自己以前阅读都是做题，对答案，标注每题定位，归纳题型，错题原因。今天在倍受错题连篇的摧残后本着阅读总任务不小于4小时的原则新加入了全文口译和郎读，每篇文章读到通顺，读时慢慢地能自然地根据句群意思断句，发现这些长句很有意思。以前总觉得这个做法浪费好多时间，今天也确实多花了俩小时，唉。。
接下来过单词，8个单元，背完直接睡⑧
口语和写作，机经都整理出来三天了。。明日复明日，明日何其多？！！！！！！！！

距离4月23日还剩：25天！

今日听写
TPO17Lect.4(6:15-7:12,
校对7:19-7:36)
P：Ok, now I want to talk about an animal that has a fascinating set of defense mechanisms. And that’s the octopus, one of the unusual creatures live in the sea. The octopus is prey to many species, including humans, so how does it escape its predators? Well, let me back up here a second. Anyone ever heart of Proteus?
Proteus was a God in Greek mythology who could change form. He could make himself look like a lion or a stone or a tree, anything you wanted, and he could go through a whole series of changes very quickly. Well, the octopus is the real world version of Proteus. Just like Proteus, the octopus can go through all kinds of incredible transformations. And it does this in three ways: By changing color, by changing its texture, and by changing its size and shape.
For me, the most fascinating transformation is when it changes its color. Its normal skin color, the one it generally presents, is either red or brown or even grey, and it’s speckled with dark spots. But when it wants to blend in with its environment to hide from its enemies, it can take on the color of its immediate surroundings: the ocean floor, a rock, a piece of coral, whatever. Charles?
C: Do we know how that works, I mean, how they change colors?
P: Well, we know that the reaction that takes place is not chemical in nature.
The color changes are executed by two different kinds of cells in the octopus’ skin, mainly by color cells on the skin’s surface called chromatophores.
Chromatophores consist of tiny sacks filled with color dye. There might be a couple hundred of these color sacks per square millimeter of the octopus’ skin. And depending on the species, they can come in as many as five different colors. Each one of these sacks is controlled by muscles. If the muscles are relaxed, the sack shrinks, and all you see is a little white point. But if the muscle’s contract, then the sack expands, and you can see the colors. And by expanding different kinds of combinations of these color sacks to different degrees, the octopus can create all sorts of colors. Yes, Elizabeth?
E: And just with various combinations of those five colors, they can recreate any color in their environment?
P: Well, they can no doubt create a lot with just those five colors, but you are right, maybe they can’t mimic every color around them, so that’s where the second kind of cell comes in. Just below the chromatophores is a layer of cells that reflect light from the environment. And these cells help the octopus create a precise match with the colors that surround them. The colors from the color sacks are supplemented with the colors that are reflected from the environment, and that’s how they are able to mimic colors with such precision. So that’s how octopuses mimic colors. But they don’t just mimic the colors in their environment; they can also mimic the texture of objects in their environment. They have these little projections on their skin that allow them to resemble various textures. The projections are called papillae.
If the octopus wants to have a rough texture, it raises the papillae. If it wants to have a smooth texture, it flattens out the papillae, so it can acquire a smooth texture to blend in with the sandy bottom of the sea. So the octopus has the ability to mimic both the color and the texture of its environment. And it’s truly amazing how well it can blend in with its surroundings. You can easily swim within a few feet of an octopus and never see it.
C: I read that they often hide from predators by squirting out a cloud of ink or something like that.
P: Yes, the octopus can release a cloud of ink if it feels threatened. But it doesn’t hide behind it, as is generally believed. The ink is… it serves to distract a predator while the octopus makes its escape. Now there’s a third way that octopuses can transform themselves to blend in with or mimic their environment, and that’s by changing their shape and size, well, at least their apparent size. The muscular system of the octopus enables it to be very flexible to assume all sorts of shapes and postures. So it can contract into the shape of a little round stone, and sit perfectly still on the seafloor. Or it can nestle up in the middle of a plant and take the shape of one of the leaves. Even Proteus would be impressed I think.

Do you agree or disagree: The best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers' salaries.（ 20090403NA）

Intro：Disagree object oppose
Admittedly, teachers’ contribution is salient in education. However, growth in teachers’ salaries by no means has any positive correlation with advance in knowledge and technical ability. Hence, I oppose the viewpoint that the best way to promote the quality of education is adding to teachers’ wages. On the contrary, we have some better methods to speed our education, such as evaluation of teachers, progress of library, and creation of peaceful studying environment.

Body:
1) First of all, evaluate teachers and students.
First of all, evaluation of teachers is a practical way to improve the educational quality. If a teacher knows that at the end of the term, students will evaluate his/her work, the teacher will be driven to do a pretty excellent task. Instead, without the pressure from evaluation, a teacher might be prone to doing a less than perfect job no matter how high his/her salary is. Granted we all need an occasional evaluation to ensure we work correctly, So do teachers. I guess that’s why all teachers from Chinese ‘211’ universities are evaluated every year.
2) In addition, spend more on library
In addition, progress of library supports the quality of education significantly since the main responsibility of education is to develop a student’s academic ability. As a matter of fact, I spend most time reading and noting in my school’s library after class, which did me a great favor in my later publishing of an article named ‘An investigation on the market of College students’ online-shopping’. Thus, we should spend more on building adequate libraries and keeping its collection well organized and up-to-date, rather than pay to teachers.
3)改善studying environment.
Last but not least, a peaceful studying environment is necessary in improvement of educational quality. We are desired to learn hard, and we deserve a pacific environment. Otherwise,
we felt difficult and reluctant. Take my little brother Chuck for example, he never study at dormitory through all his college. I wasn’t surprised, I understand the noise and interference in a small room clogged with eight students living in. If our college costs more in optimization of our dormitory.

Above all, we have sorts of reasonable suggestions to forward the quality of education. Increase teachers’ salaries will lead them better living conditions instead of push the development of educational quality. Therefore, I object the arguement that the best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers’ salaries.

今天的听写
TPO16L3（听写6:56-7:51,校对7:51-8:15）
Ok, let’s continue our discussion about animal behavior by talking about decisions that animals face, complex ones. Animals, even insects, carry out what look like very complex decision making processes. The question is how. I mean no one really thinks that, say a bee goes through weighing the pros and cons of pollinating this flower or that flower. But then how do animals solve complex questions, questions that seem to require decision making. The answer we’ll propose of course is that their behavior is largely a matter of natural selection. As an example, let’s look at foraging behavior among beavers.
Beavers eat plants, mostly trees. And they also use trees and tree branches to construct their homes in streams and lakes. So when they do forage for food and for shelter materials, they have to leave their homes and go up on land where their main predators are. So there are a number of choices that have to be made about foraging. So, for example, they need to decide whichwhat kind of tree they should cut down. Some trees have higher nutritional value than others, and some are better for building material, and some are good for both. Um, aspen trees, beavers peel off the bark to eat and they also use the branches for building their shelters. So, aspens do double duty. But ash trees, beavers use ash trees only for construction. Another decision is when to forage for food. Should they go out during the daytime when it’s hotter outside and they have to expend more energy, or at night when the weather is cooler but predators are more active?
Ok, but there are two more important issues, really the most central, the most important, ok? First, let’s say a beaver could get the same amount wood from a single large tree when it has lots of branches as it could get from three small trees. Which should it choose? If it chooses one large tree, it’ll have to carry that large piece of wood back home, and lugging a big piece of wood 40 or 50 yards is hard work, takes a lot of energy. Of course it’ll have to make only one trip to get the wood back to the water. On the other hand, if it goes for three small trees instead, it will take less energy per tree to get the wood back home, but it’ll have to make three trips back and forth for the three trees. And presumably, the more often it wanders from home, the more it’s likely to be exposed to predators. So, which is better, a single large tree or three small trees?
Another critical issue
and it’s related to the first, to the size issue, is how far from the water should it go to get trees. Should it be willing to travel a greater distance for a large tree, since it’ll get so much wood from it? Beavers certainly go farther from the water to get an aspen tree than for an ash tree. That reflects their relative values. But what about size? Will it travel farther for a larger tree than it will for a smaller tree? Now, I would have thought the bigger the tree, the farther the beaver would be willing to travel for it. That would make sense, right? If you’re going to travel far, make the trip worth it by bringing back most wood possible. But actually, the opposite is true. Beavers will cut down only large trees that are close to the water. They will travel far only to cut down certain small trees that they can cut down quickly and drag back home quickly. Generally, the farther they go from the water, the smaller the tree they will cut down. They’re willing to make more trips to haul back less wood, which carries a greater risk of being exposed to predators. So, it looks as though beavers are less interested in minimizing their exposure to predators, and more interested in saving energy when foraging for wood, which may also explain why beavers forage primarily during the evenings.
Ok, so why does their behavior indicate more of a concern with how much energy they expend than with being exposed to predators? No one believes a beaver consciously weighs the pros and cons of each of these elements. The answer that some give is that their behavior has evolved over time.
It’s been shaped by constraints over vast stretches of time, all of which comes down to the fact that the best foraging strategy for beavers isn’t the one that yields the most food or wood. It’s the one that results in the most descendants, the most offspring. So let’s discuss how this idea works.
