Does psychology also play a role in such cases as talking with friends and listening to fast music?B.Yes, talking with friends can be relaxing, and listening to fast music can make peopleenergetic or dynamic. According to psychology, these are god ways of keeping a distance from depression and pressure.3. WritingSample 1Psychology plays an important role in our daily life. Our feeling and attitudes color the way we behave. Confidence is a good example.In reality, a great number of people complain that they are not able to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. In some cases, this may be true. But in other cases, it means that these people allow themselves to get discouraged.For example, a confident man can accomplish many things. If you have confidence, you believe you can do things well. You might not always do as well as you hope, but you will try harder the next time. A man who lacks self-confidence might not be able to complete simple tasks. Without confidence you are likely to be nervous, unsure of yourself and confused about what to do and how to do it. You may think you will fail, so as a result you will not try hard enough.As the old saying goes, where is a will, there is a way. In other words, if you have the will or the determination to do something, you will always find a way to do it. Having confidence is an important part of our life.Sample 2In our daily life, we often have to buy things. Most of us cannot really distinguish good quality form bad quality. Obviously we can see if an apple is rotten, but we cannot always see if something is well made. What thoughts make us buy things?A women may decide to buy a particular style of dress because several of her friends choose that style. She wants to be like her friends. A man might decide to buy a particular coat because it is expensive. He thinks that since it is expensive it must be of good quality. A student who has a lot of money might decide to buy a jacket because it was designed by a well-known designer. Wearing a jacket with the designer’s name on it makes him feel important.These are not the logical reasons for buy things, but they explain the motivation behind people’s actions or behavior. It means that psychology or our mental state plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life.。

Listen to it and complete the following sentences according to the information you’ve heard with the words and phrases provided in the box. Then listen to it again and check your answers.A Way to Improve English Listening QuicklyFew days ago, I watched a video which was taken by certain member of Taiwan University for teaching students how to improve English listening skill. Some advice is given from the lecturer. The source of the information is the Writing Center website.Today, I try to watch English movie without Chinese translating subtitles. At the beginning, it is very difficult to understand what the actors are talking about. But gradually, I can figure out more and more words. I know that the method does work to improve my listening skill. Certainly! My English listening ability is not good enough. It is fun to learn things and I always believe that.Page 8 Passage 2Now you’ll hear a passage, which is followed by four questions. Listen to it and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers.Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, when they meet a native speaker, they are still unable to speak English very well. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.Many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy! They will not laugh at yo u just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.习题答案及参考译文Section A Listening and SpeakingPart One PronunciationⅠ. 清辅音: ☐ ♦ ♦♦ ♦❒ ♦☞ ♐ ♦ ☞ ♒浊辅音: ♌ ♎ ♑ ♎ ♎❒ ♎✞ ❖ ❆ ✞ ❒ ● ♦ ❍ ⏹ ☠Ⅱ. 略Part Three DialoguesDialogue 1Ⅰ. 1.

My topic today is about our college life. Several months ago I was sitting in the classroom of my senior high school, struggling for my dream to be a college student. At that time, I knew I should and must go on with my school education in this autumn, for I want to be good, just good. I will be a true man in the future who can live on my own. I will be a true man who can do something for my mother and my motherland.When I came here, I found our college was not the same as the one in my imagination. But they are both good. I think I have adapted to my college life. And I can even say I have got accustomed to it.In order to succeed in the future, I have made careful plans. Firstly, I will work harder and try to master English and computer technology. Secondly, I hope I can work in the student union to get some practical experience. Thirdly, I will make new plans. That’s all. Thank you.参考译文:我的大学生活1 大学生活伊始,我发觉它与高中生活大不相同。
