建议提前半小时,要不然老师讲的注意事项就没听着了。
而且有一点,今天老师强调,在进入作文计时之前,不许在草稿之上写任何东西(防止有人把提纲写好),否则取消成绩。

153."Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
学生们应该带着怀疑的态度对待他们所学的任何东西。他们应该质疑老师教给他们的东西,而不是消极地接受
160."The most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little."
一个好的领导最主要的品质就是对某些特定原则和目标的坚持。任何领导,如果他很容易受到大众化观点的影响,那他就一事无成。
argument:
【208】The following appeared in a memorandum from the planning department of an electric power company. "Several recent surveys indicate that homeowners are increasingly eager to conserve energy and manufacturers are now marketing many home appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, that are almost twice as energy-efficient as those sold a decade ago. Also, new technologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therefore, we anticipate that the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase, and may decline slightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation for the past 20 years have always met our needs, construction of new generating plants should not be necessary."
一些最近的调查表明,房主越来越强烈地希望节省能源,并且生产商现在正在推出很多比十年前的电器几乎节能两倍的家用电器,比如冰箱和空调。而且,更好的房屋隔热和被动式太阳能采暖的新技术已经可以用于减少家庭采暖所需的能源。因此,我们预计我们地区的用电需求总量不会增加,而可能有轻微下降。由于我们的已经运作了20年的三座发电站总能够满足需求,我们无需建造新的发电厂。
