You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Take Naps at Work.Apologize to No One[A]In the past two weeks I’ve taken three naps at work,a total of an hour or so of shut-eye while on the clock.And I have no shame or uncertainty about doing it.I couldn’t feel better about it,and my productivity reflects it,too.[B]Sleeping on the job is one of those workplace taboos-like leaving your desk for lunch or taking an afternoon walk-that we’re taught to look down on.If someone naps at2p.m.while the rest of us furiously write memos and respond to emails,surely it must mean they’re slacking off(偷懒).Or so the assumption goes.[C]Restfulness and recharging can take a back seat to the perception and appearance of productivity.It’s easier to stay on a virtual hamster(仓鼠)wheel of activity by immediately responding to every email than it is to measure aggregate productivity over a greater period of time.But a growing field of occupational and psychological research is building the case for restfulness in pursuit of greater productivity.[D]Companies are suffering from tremendous productivity problems because people are stressed out and not recovering from the workday,said Josh Bersin,Principal and Founder of Bersin by Deloitte.“They’re beginning to realize that this is their problem,and they can’t just say to people,‘Here’s a work-life balance course,go teach yourself how to manage your inbox,’”Mr.Bersin said.“It’s way more complicated than that.”[E]To be sure,the ability to nap at work is far from widespread,experts said.Few among us have the luxury of being able to step away for a half-hour snoozefest.But lunch hours and coffee breaks can be great times to duck out,and your increased productivity and alertness will be all the evidence you need to make your case to inquiring bosses.[F]In an ideal world,we’d all solve this problem by unplugging early and getting a good night’s sleep. Here’s our guide on how to do just that.But the next best thing is stealing away for a quick power nap when you’re dragging after lunch.[G]In a study published in Nature Neuroscience,researchers tested subjects on their perceptual performance four times throughout the day.Performance deteriorated with each test,but subjects who took a30-minute nap between tests stopped the deterioration in performance,and those who took a60-minute nap even reversed it.[H]“Naps had the same magnitude of benefits as full nights of sleep if they had a quality of nap.”said Sara Mednick,a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University of California,Riverside.[I]Dr.Mednick,a sleep researcher and the author of Take a Nap!Change Your Life,said daytime napping can have many of the benefits of overnight sleep,and different types of naps offer specific benefits.[J]For example,Dr.Mednick said a20-to60-minute nap might help with memorization and learning specific bits of information.It’s just long enough to enter stage-two sleep,or non-rapid eye movement(R.E.M.)sleep.[K]After60minutes,you start getting into R.E.M.sleep,most often associated with that deep,dreaming state we all enjoy at night R.E.M.sleep can improve creativity,perceptual processing and highly associativethinking,which allows you to make connections between disparate ideas,Dr.Mednick said.Beyond that,your best bet is a90-minute nap,which will give you a full sleep cycle.[L]Any nap,however,can help with alertness and perception and cut through the general fog that creeps in during the day,experts said.[M]So how did we even arrive at this point where aptitude is inextricably tied(紧密相连)to working long, concentrated hours?Blame technology,but think broader than smartphones and laptops;the real issue is that tech has enabled us to be available at all times.[N]“We went through a period where people were in denial and business leaders were ignoring it,”Mr. Bersin said.“They were assuming that if we give people more tools,more emails,more Slack,more chatter,and we’ll just assume they can figure out how to deal with it all.And I think they’ve woken up to the fact that this is a big problem,and it is affecting productivity,engagement,health,safety,wellness and all sorts of things.”[O]It isn’t just office workers who can benefit from an afternoon siesta(午睡).A2015study published in Current Biology looked at the at the sleeping habits of three hunter-gatherer preindustrial societies in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia.[P]“They’re active in the morning,then they get in the shade under the trees and have a sort of quiet time, but they’re not generally napping,”said Jerome Siegel,professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences,and director of the U.C.L.A.Center for Sleep Research,a co-author of the study.“Then they do some work and go to sleep,and they sleep through the night.”[Q]Still,Mr.Siegel said,“the only genuine way to solve daytime sleepiness and fatigue starts the night before with a solid night’s sleep.”The real Holy Grail of restfulness is a regular sleep schedule with ideally seven or eight hours of sleep each night,which experts say is optimal.[R]“Daytime napping certainly does increase alertness,”Mr.Siegel said.“But it’s not as simple as going to the gas station and filling the tank.”[S]He also advises avoiding caffeine late in the day and waking around the same time every morning,even if you can’t get to sleep at the same time every night,This helps acclimate(使适应)your body to your regular wake-up time,regardless of how much sleep you got the night before.[T]So if you’ve made it this far and you’re interested in giving workday naps a try(or just starting to nod off),here’s a quick guide to the perfect nap;Find a quiet,unoccupied space where you won’t be disturbed.Try to make your area as dim as possible(or invest in a sleep mask you can keep in the office).Earplugs might help.too.Aim for around20minutes.Any longer than that and you’re likely to wake up with sleep inertia(睡眠惰性)，which will leave you even groggier(头脑昏沉的)than before.36.Participants’perceptual performance became better after sleeping one hour between tests in an article inNature Neuroscience.37.Jerome Siegel found that only by sleeping soundly through the previous night could people tackle theirweariness during the day.38.Our talent is closely bound to working with concentration for long periods of time because technologymakes us accessible24/7.39.Taking a nap at work is normally regarded as laziness that should be held in contempt and avoided inworkplace.40.Between20to60minutes,people can get into non-REM sleep which may improve memory and learningability according to Dr.Mednick.41.People can doze off at lunch and coffee breaks and defended themselves by saying their improvedproductivity and alertness when bosses investigated their whereabouts.42.The author’s tips on taking a perfect nap involve sleeping place,environment and duration.43.The author believes business leaders are aware that availability at any time due to technology has negativeeffects on every aspect of people’s life.44.The optimal length of a nap was an hour and a half so that people could go through a complete sleep cycle.45.Josh Bersin mentioned the cause of companies’big productivity problems and the solution which needsmore that just employees’efforts.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Every office worker hates meetings.But it’s a strange sort of hate,similar to the hatred of Londoners for the Northern Line,or New Yorkers for tourists who walk too slowly:the dislike is real,yet if the despised thing were to vanish,it’d be like surrendering a piece of your soul.When researchers probed into why people put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity, they found something-those who resent and dread meetings the moat also defend them as a“necessary evil”, sometimes with great passion.True,research suggests that meetings take up vastly more of the average manager’s time than they used to.True,done badly,they’re associated with lower levels of innovation and employee wellbeing(幸福).But that’s just office life,right?It’s not supposed to be fun.That’s why they call it work.Underlying(引起)this attitude is an assumption that’s drummed into us not just as workers but as children, parents and romantic partners;that more communication is always a good thing.So suggestions abound for(大量存在)communicating better in meetings-for example,hold them standing up,so speakers will come to the point more quickly.But even when some companies consider abolishing meetings entirely,the principle that more communication is better isn’t questioned.If anything,it’s reinforced when such firms introduce“flat”management structures,with bosses always available to everyone,plus plenty of electronic distraction.In fact,constant connectivity is disastrous for both job satisfaction and the bottom line.And anyway,once you give it three seconds’thought,isn’t it cleat that more communication frequently isn’t a good thing?Often,the difference between a successful marriage and a second-rate one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid.At work,it’s surely many more than four,though for a different reason;office communication comes at the cost of precisely the kind of focus that’s essential to good work.Yet we’re so accustomed to seeing talking as a source of solutions-for resolving conflicts or finding new ideas-that it’s hard to see when it is the problem.46.What does the author say about meetings?A)Londoners hate them as well as the Northern Line.B)They can help to keep workers’physical and spiritual health.C)Workers might be reluctant to give up them completely.D)New Yorkers dislike meetings more than Londoners.47.What did researchers find about people’s attitude towards meeting?A.Their attitude and behavior are paradoxical.B)People who hate meetings the most are senior insane.C)Those who like meetings might be considered insane.D)More meetings are regarded as a sign of less innovation.48.Why do people think that more communication is always a good thing?A)Because the concept is firmly believed by workers.B)Because everyone loves to communicate with others.C)Because the idea has been instilled into people’s mind.D)Because communication is vital for building relationships.49.What does the author think of the“flat”management structure?A)It forces bosses to frequently contact their employees.B)It helps to soften employees’bottom line of work.C)It is definitely a disaster to employees’job satisfaction.D)It strengthens people’s deeply-rooted notion of communication.50.What is the author’s argument about office communication?A)It is an effective way to solve office conflicts.B)It affects work efficiency in a negative way.C)It should come to a halt at intervals.D)It is useful for workers to find new ideas.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.The Internet has enabled the spread of information at lightning speed.This information revolution has created tremendous business opportunities for online publishers,but not all of them maintain proper quality-control mechanisms to ensure that only good information is being shared.Instead,many publishers aim simply to make money by whatever means possible,with no regard for the implications for society at large.When selfish publishers set up shops online,the primary goal is to publish as much as possible,often at the cost of quality.In this respect,many publishers start numerous online journals focused on overlapping(重叠的)disciplines—to increase their total number of published papers—and hire young business managers who do not have any experience in either science or publishing.In some cases,online publishers even give up peer review, while still presenting themselves as scientific journals—deception designed to take advantage of scientists who simply want to share their research.If publishers structure their business to make more revenue,it often does harm to their products.When publishers start journals with overlapping domains,in combination with the pressure to publish more studies,this could promote the publication of marginal or even questionable articles.Moreover,publishers with multiple overlapping journals and journals with very narrow specialties(专业)increase the demands on the time and efforts of willing reviewers.With the fact that reviewers are generally not compensated for their time and effort,journal editors are often unable to find enough reviewers to keep up with the increased publication rate.To improve the situation and increase the trust in scientific community,the pressure to publish must be reduced.Funding and promotion decisions should not be based on the number of publications,but on the quality of those publications and a researcher’s long-term productivity and instructions.And that’s just the start.We need additional mechanisms,such as Beall’s list of predatory(掠夺的)publishers, to alert scientists to fake journals and fake articles.In addition,the price for online publication must be controlled and a mechanism must be put in place to honor and reward hard-working reviewers.51.What does the author think of online publishers?A)A small proportion of them can guarantee their publishing quality.B)They have lots of opportunities to renovate their business models.C)Many of them tend to try every means to make a buck.D)Social impact is their first priority when publishing books.52.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that______.A)peer review generally is a criterion to identify academic journalsB)researchers focus their research on the combination of disciplinesC)scientists care about their publications rather than researchD)young business managers are willing to face new challenges53.Why can’t publishers find enough reviewers to review papers?A)Reviewers are pressed for time when reviewing articles.B)Reviewers’gains can’t make up for what they have done.C)Publishers may compel reviewers to accept marginal articles.D)Publishers urge reviewers to increase publication rate rapidly.54.What is the author’s suggestion for online publication?A)More weight should be put on the quantity of publications.B)It is worthwhile to reward diligent reviewers for their effort.C)Fake journals should be reported to a regulatory organization.D)The price of online publication should be lowered greatly.55.What is the main idea of this passage?A)Online publishers should take measures to fight against fake scientific journals.B)Online publishers are pursuing their work efficiency at the cost of quality.C)Online publishers business models are quite likely to harm their publications.D)Online publishers are sacrificing the quality of research articles to make money.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write

populated.Some pessimists are deeply worried about the serious problems posed by the huge populations.They believe that the public services are already overloaded and near the verge of collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists,

PrologueA review article differs from a research article in that the review article examines the evidence presented in a research article, rather than producing research itself. Daryl J. Bem of Cornell University describes a review article as the following experience: “You have surveyed an experimental literature and arrived at conclusions you believe are worth sharing with the wider…community. Now it is time to write. To publish. To tell the world what you have learned.“According to the recent revision of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,“review articles, including meta-analyses, are critical evaluations of material that has already been published. By organizing, integrating, and evaluating previously published material, the author of a review article considers the progress of current research toward clarifying a problem. In a sense, a review article is tutorial in that the author• Defines and clarifies the problem;• Summarizes previous investigations inorder to inform the reader of the state ofcurrent research;• Identifies relations, contradictions, gaps,and inconsistencies in the literature; and • Suggests the next step or steps in solvingthe problem. (American PsychologicalAssociation [APA], 1994, p.5) (In Bem).”2. Getting Started2.1 The bad news: There are two things nobody wantsto hear about writing:1) Writing is hard.2) Writing takes time.I’m not sure which is worse, but both are true, so you might as well resign yourself to them right now and get it over with.2.2 The good news: The above truisms hold foreveryone, even the most seasoned writers. And there are some tried and true ways to make the writing easier.3. Writing as Critical Thinking3.1 A common misconception that writers have is thatthey know or should know what they are going to say before they begin. In order for this to be true, writers would need to memorize ten to twenty pages’ worth of material and then spew them onto the pages. This is not possible.Your life as a researcher, student, and writer will be more pleasant for you if you learn now that writing is a form of thinking. Writing helps you organize your thoughts, not vice versa.3.2 “Aha!”Often, when you are writing, you will have an “aha!”experience in which you discover that you thought or knew something you didn’t realize you thought or knew. Writing has helped you to think of it. Putting the words on the page has led you to a discovery that wouldn’t have been possible merely through thinking or speaking.The “aha!” writing experience is very similar to what happens to athletes once they are warmed up duringa run: they enter a z one in which they feel they canrun forever. Often, though, this happens only after the first couple of miles.For writers, the “aha!” moment happens after a few pages. However, for the writer, unlike the athlete, there is a strong temptation to ignore the new direction the “aha!” discovery has brought because it often renders the first few pages of writing obsolete.It is important, therefore, for you to accept the fact right now that unless you are a highly seasonedwriter, and have been writing for perhaps fifty years,you are going to have to view the first few pages of everything you write as a warm –up lap whose onlyfunction is to get you to the “aha!” experience and which you will later recycle. Hence, writing takes time, and paper.It is crucial not to ignore the “aha!” portion of yourwriting: This is your strongest writing and thinking.You may be halfway through your review article andhave an inspiration that requires you to re-write the entire article. It is highly tempting to ignore t hat inspiration, then, in hopes of not having to re-write.However, the good news is that when you areinspired, when you have warmed up, the revision will happen very quickly and almost on its own. It will not require the time or energy of the first draft, and it will have energy, innovation, and strong thinking in its favor. It is the point of writing.4. What’s the Point of Your Article?4.1 Whenever busy people such as your examiners readanything, they are likely to ask, “Why am I reading this?l Why should I read this?l What is the point?”4.2 The answer examiners have after reading yourreview article should not be that they have to read this because the project was assigned. And your answer to the question, ‘Why are you writing this?’ better not be ‘Because I had to in order to pass.’4.2 One of the most significant challenges any scholar,researcher, educator, writer must overcome is the relevancy question, the answer to the question, “So What?”l Why are you reading this manual right now?Because you have to write a review article andyou want to pass the first time.l Why am I writing this manual right now?Because I am an experienced writer, have taughtwriting at the university level, and have figuredout a few things about solving the relevancyproblem.4.4 If you cannot figure out a relevant reason for you tobe writing the review article, then you might as well stop wasting your own time and that of your reader.4.5 If you cannot figure out a relevant reason for you tobe writing the review article, a reason outside of, “I have to fulfill this assignment,” or “I want to get this published,” then you will not pass. You have not thought about this enough. You have not writtenabout this enough. Everyone can write well about things they have t h ought a lot about. So, think about it a lot:l Why are these articles interesting to you?l Why did you choose to write about them?l Do they present a new procedure?l Is there a significant gap in theliterature?l Do these articles contribute important new knowledge to the field?l Are these articles mistaken?l Are you disagreeing with them?5. Argument5.1 Another concept you must understand before youbegin writing is that anytime you are writing, you are making an argument. Everything is an argument. If you learn the components of an argument, your article will be successful. A commonly used argument is known as the Toulmin Argument, which contains the following components:Claim: The claim is the statement you wish tomake.Example: “Don’t eat the mushrooms!”Reason: The logic behind the claim.Example: “Because they are poisonous!”Warrant: The warrant answers the question of “SoWhat?” that is posed to the reason. It is oftenimplied and often obvious, but arguments win or fail dependent on whether people accept the warrant.Example: “Eating poisonous mushrooms willmake you sick!”Evidence: Supports the reason.Example: Medical literature shows that themushrooms you intend to eat are poisonous and will make you sick.5.2 Some arguments are more successful than others.Here is an example of a weak argument:Claim: Don’t eat that chocolate!Reason: It will make you fat!Warrant: Being fat is means you will have toreplace your clothes at great expense!Evidence: Chocolate is high in fat and calories. However, for most people, the taste and small amount of chocolate they will eat make that argument weak. Also, the amount of weight you’d need to gain to make that warrant true takes enough time not to be an immediate deterrent. There are problems with the warrant and, the argument is easy to take apart.5.3 Here is a stronger argument:Claim: Take your purse with you when you go tothe bathroom.Reason: If you leave it at the table, it might getstolen.Warrant: If someone steals your purse, you have to replace your credit cards, driver’s license,checkbook, cellphone, prescriptions, passport, andwhatever else you have in your purse. You maynever replace the cash.Evidence: Many people who leave their pursesunattended experience theft.For most people, this warrant is more compelling than the one for not eating chocolate, and more likely to make them listen to your claim.5.4 In your writing, you need to figure out your ownargument.l What is your claim?l What are your reasons?l So What?l What is your evidence?l Is it fact-based, anecdotal, or emotional?5.5 Sometimes, before you can answer all of thesequestions you must first think of who will be reading your review article.6. Audience6.1 Again, it might seem obvious who your audience is:the evaluator of your review article.l Again, this is not good enough.l For one thing, do you know this person?l What do you know about them?l And is this the only person ever who will be reading your review article?6.2 Instead of f ocusing on your reviewer, think of aspecific journal you would like to submit your review article to.l Would you like to share your observations with hospital administrators so a policy can bechanged?l Do you think a formerly criticized procedure should be re-visited?l Would you like to share new medicalinformation or a new procedure with otherdoctors?l Are you interested in sharing something with other student doctors?l Or is your angle perhaps the patients themselves or their relatives?l If you focus your review article and yourargument on a specific audience, then you arehalfway there.6.3 Your audience will give your writing a focus and anedge. Knowing who your audience is helps you rhetorically. Most pieces of writing attempt one of two purposes:a. to make the audience see something differentlyb. to make the audience act on the information ina specific wayc. What are you hoping review article willaccomplish? You will be essentially arguing forone of the above two things to happen.7. Pre-Writing and Brainstorming7.1 You are finally ready to begin writing. This will beyour warm up lap, the writing that will help you get where you need to go, so view it that way without planning, necessarily, to use it in your final product.7.2 The first thing you are going to do is write for 30minutes without stopping and think of every possible angle of your review article, writing without editing. This is called thick description. Then, you are going to walk away from this piece for a few hours.7.3 You will do two more pre-writes of 30 minutes eachduring a 48-hour period. These pre-writes are essential to producing a good review article. It is here that you will discover what you think is interesting about your angle, who you are trying to reach, and it is here that you will remember little details that might otherwise have escaped you.l After you have finished your third pre-write and left it for an hour or so, examine all three ofyour pre-writes and see what you find mostinteresting in all of them.l What have you repeated?l What seems to be the most important theme or detail?l Who seems to be the most logical audience for this review article?l What can you argue for?7.4 Now you are ready to take your three pre-writes andbegin writing a rough draft. And I do mean rough.Again, you are not thinking in terms of revision.You are thinking on paper and generating material.B. The Structure of Review Article Unfortunately, cohesive instructions for writing review articles do not exist. Therefore, it seems prudent to structure the review article around the argument you aremaking, incorporating the elements of the Toulmin Argument into your structure. For the elective research practicum, the following structure is provided:1. The Abstract1.1 The abstract must be 200 words or less. Such awriting task is among the most difficult to achieve. I highly recommend that you wait until you have written the rest of your review article to write the abstract.l The abstract will be a brief synthesis of theentire project, the teaser, which will help readersdetermine immediately whether your reviewarticle can be useful.l It should also be interesting enough to warrant a reading of the entire article.l It is here that you will first raise the issue of your argument.l Your abstract and your introduction may end up being very similar.1.2 I am going to state here and emphasize later thatyour writing, although it is academic and medical in nature, has a responsibility to be both interesting and important.2. Introduction2.1 Again, brevity is important. Less than 200 words.And again, this should be one of the last portions of your review article that you write. Nobody will know that you wrote it last, and when you think about it, you can introduce best those people you know the best; how can you write an introduction for a paper you haven’t written yet? You don’t know yet how it will turn out.l This is a brief introduction to the article.l Includes the highlights of the articles.l Establish your audience and address yourrelevancy (so what, why am I reading this?)questions here.l Establish your persuasive purpose: the reader should either see things differently or beprepared to do something as a result of readingthis. Alert audience to your intended resultnow.l You will want to anticipate audienceargument in response to what you areproposing and then rebut that argumentwith your own.l You cannot wait until the discussion section to bring these issues into focus.2.2 Sample Introduction (completely made up) Psychologists disagree about whether hypnosis, as atherapy, should be used in patients who may have experienced childhood trauma. Criticisms of hypnosisinclude lack of training in practitioners, lack of evidence that hypnosis works; and skepticism about the scientific rigor of hypnosis as a therapy. However, three new articles about hypnotherapy address these criticisms and strongly support the use of hypnotherapy as a safe, reliable, and effective means of treating patients with suspected childhood trauma.2.3 Commentary on Sample Introduction Immediately, there is both relevancy and interest. The argument is being established and will be continued as the review article continues, with evidence given in the discussion section where the strongest part of the argument will be given.Also, the audience counter-argument is raisedimmediately and ground work is laid for rebuttle.The introduction is also free of jargon and fewer than200 words.3. Claim (also invented)Remember that your claim is the statement of argument.What you are advocating will provide the spine of your review article, making it both relevant and interesting.3.1 Sample Claim:A specific form of hypnotherapy should be adopted by psychologists for use with patients w ho have possible childhood traumas. (If you are advocating adoption of more than one form of hypnotherapy, you may want to outline them briefly in your introduction and then divide your paper into sections, labeled according to the different methods. For example:Music HypnotherapyClaimReasonEvidenceWater HypnotherapyClaimReasonEvidenceEtc.)4. Reason:The article by Author A shows that Form 1 of hypnotherapy yielded such and such results.4.1 There is a great temptation to reveal everythingyou have learned so far in medical school here by making this section jam-packed with jargon. Fight thaturge. Make your language clear. If you say EKG, spell it out first, and say what it is for. Your reviewer is not necessarily your only or your most important reader. Make it reader-friendly for many possible audiences.4.2 You will need to include some background for your claim in this section, in order for your reasons to make sense, and for the full extent of your purpose to be clear.5. EvidenceYou will summarize the article/s that support your claim and your reasons here. You will want to remember warrants at this time (for a discussion of warrants, refer to the previous section about argument). Your argument will rise or fall unless you can link your evidence to your reasons effectively, tying together the big picture, the answer to the important question of “So What? Why is this important?”6. Discussion6.1 Your discussion section is the one in which you will be the most political, the most impassioned, and the one in which you will tie your argument together. You will summarize the reasons and evidence you have given and explain why the adoption of your argument will improve patient care, research, clinical practices, policy, or whatever you are advocating.6.2 Another important component of your discussion section is what further research needs to be done, what courses of action need to be taken next. You want your reader to finish the article knowing exactly what point of view you are advocating, and what you want the reader to do about it:• To be less likely to dismiss hypnotherapyas an effective treatment;• To consider being trained inhypnotherapy treatment;• To adopt hypnotherapy in the treatmentof patients with suspected childhoodtrauma;• To fund more research studying theefficacy of hypnotherapy;• Etc.7. ReferencesCheck your style manual, make sure your I’s are dotted and your T’s are crossed.C. Your Second Reader Now that you have written every section of your review article, it is time to have a trusted friend read it for you and make comments.? Is it interesting?? Does it make sense?? Does it have too much jargon?? Does it flow? (Does one section acknowledge that there was a section before it and that therewill be one after it?)? Is the review article in a logical right order??Does the review article raise and answer thequestion “So What?”?Do you feel persuaded to the writer’s point of view??If you are not persuaded, do you at leastunderstand what the writer was attempting topersuade you to do or think??Does the author anticipate and rebut audience counter-argument?D. The RevisionDepending on how much pre-writing you have done, you will now need to revise. Print out your review article. Let it sit for a day. Then, read it through once without your pen. Finally, read it once again and write on it. Rewrite it again, and then you are done. The important thing to do is to realize that because it takes time, you must pace yourself. Give yourself time to think about the articles you have read and your arguments, to brainstorm and to pre-write, and then to write and revise. If you give yourself time between drafts, you will be able to see more clearly the revisions to make and how to make review article a significant contribution to the literature.E.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCORING REVIEW ARTICLESThe Holistic ApproachResearch in composition studies shows that the holistic approach to scoring an y piece of student writing is the most accurate, yielding the most agreement among groups of graders in any setting.Holistic grading simply means that you examine the piece of writing as a whole, subjectively, before you make objective comments. In order to grade holistically, first read the entire review article from start to finish without a pen in hand. Trust your instincts as to the overall quality of the work. After your initial reading, you will mark a P or an F for Passing or Failing on the subjective portion of your scoring guide.The Scoring KeyThe scoring key is designed to provide you quickly and easily with a vocabulary for explaining the subjective score to the students. You have a scoring key for each section of the review article (7 total), which are labeled and included in the back of this manual. You will become so familiar with the elements of the scoring key after you have marked it for the Abstract and the Introduction that using it will take no time at all. Note the scoring key with 1 to 5 rankings correlates with the quality of the case study (i.e., the higher the scores marked, the better quality case study).For example, you might have the following boxes marked for the Discussion Section of the Review Article.3= Satisfactory content and presentation without expansion?Addresses relevancy question?Not interesting, but adequate response?Appropriate headings and organizationS Content appropriate to headings.S Some attention to audience?Some rhetorical (persuasive) planning: get audience to see something differently or to act?Formulaic organization which does not necessarily advance the argument being made4= Good representation in content and presentation in qualityS Abstract and review article are interesting and relevantS Effective response to the writing task?Skill in using language?Clear rhetorical planning: audience will see something differently or be persuaded to act?Development with appropriate support and integration of sources?Clear attention to needs of audienceS Critical thinking clearly demonstrated—clear understanding of the task at hand and how to address it SCORE FOR THIS SECTION: ___4_____The Written Review Article Evaluation FormAfter you have marked the criteria for each section of the review article, you can simply review the sheets, and one such as the example above would indicate a score of 4 or possibly 3.5, depending on how strong you feel the writing was, for the Discussion Section.

They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out –of-town candidates.While you…re job-searching, it…s important to be prepared for a phone in terview on a moment…s notice. You never know w hen a recruiter might call. So, you…d better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions. You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it…s at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and Paper handy for mote taking.It…s helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the ph one. In this wa y, you…ll be able to hear your “ums”and “uhs” and “OKs”, and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer…s title(Mr. or Ms. and their last ,name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?2. What can you infer from the speaker…s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?3. What does the speaker say about your resume?4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on the phone? Keys: BCCADTask3: Do you know how to write a resume?Your resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‗d better get it right firs time. Here…re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don…t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. Itshould emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.Questions1. Why doe s the speaker say the resume is important?2. Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?3. Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to the passage?4. How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5. Which is the passage mainly about?Keys: CAACBFurther listening:Task 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I‟m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I‟m impressed by this city‟s dynamic economy. I‟ve come to love it so much that I‟ve decided to stay and work here. M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company‟s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I‟ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They‟re my role models. However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter‟s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company‟s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn. Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we‟ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager‟s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager‟s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down …I don‟t‟ know‟, and you put down …Neither do I‟.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3.
