听力原文: Finding enough meat was a problem for primitive man Keeping it when it was scarce was just as hard, Three ways were found to keep meat from spoiling: salting, drying, and freezing.
People near salty waters salted their meat. At first, they probably rubbed dry salt on it. but this preserved only the outside. Later they may have pickled their meat by soaking it in salt water.
In hot, dry lands, men found that they could eat meat that had dried while it was still on the bones. They later learned to cat meat into thin stops and hang it up to dry in the hot air
Men in cold climates found that frozen meat did not spoil. They could leave their meat outside and eat it when they pleased.

The best way to explain how this procedure is expected to work is to explain how it actually worked when it was first tried. The first experiment with it was the creation of the Works Project Administration (WPA). This agency set up work projects in various fields in which there were many unemployed. For example, unemployed actors were organized into theater projects, orchestras were organized for unemployed musicians, teaching projects for unemployed teachers, and even writers' projects for unemployed writers. Unemployed laborers were put to work building or maintaining roads, parks, playgrounds, or public buildings. These were all temporary work relief projects—rather than permanent work opportunities.
More substantial work projects of a permanent nature were organized by another agency, the Public Works Administration (PWA). This agency undertook the planning of construction of schools, houses, post offices, dams, and other public structures. It entered into contracts with private construction firms to erect them, or it loaned money to local or state governments which undertook their constructions. This created many jobs in the factories producing the material as well as in the projects themselves, and greatly reduced the number of unemployed.
Still another agency which provided work projects for the unemployed was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This agency provided job opportunities for youths aged 16 to 20 to work in national parks or forests clearing land, guarding against fires, building roads, or doing other conservation work. In the event of a future depression, the federate government might revive any or all of the above methods to relieve unemployment and stimulate business.
The PWA differed from the WPA in that
A.the work projects of the former were carded out by the Federal Government______
B.the government subsidized private industry
C.the number of unemployed was reduced
D.the former was government's first attempt to end hardship due to unemployment
We each have our own preferred way of learning as a result of our cultural and educational back?grounds and our personalities. Experts have identi?fied different learning styles.
Visual Learners usually enjoy reading and prefer to see an image of the words they are learn?ing. Auditory Learners on the other hand prefer to learn by listening. They enjoy conversations and talking to others.
Some people like to learn by using their hands to touch objects? while others like to move around and need frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.
There are Analytical Learners meaning they enjoy understanding how the language works. They love studying grammar rules and like to focus on de?tails whereas Global Learners are more interested in communicating their ideas and are not worried about whether what they say is grammatically correct.
In spoken English the Japanese tend to be Re?flective Learners. They think carefully before they speak to ensure their message is accurate. They do not make so many mistakes but their communication is slower. European learners tend to be Impulsive Learners. They speak more fluently and worry about how well they are communicating rather than how many mistakes they are making.
So to do well in a language? you should identi- fy your style. and try to find a class that will teach you the way you want to learn. For example if you are a Reflective Learner you may not do so well in a purely conversational class and as an Auditory Learner you probably don't want to do so much reading. In fact if you are an Auditory Learner you are probably not enjoying yourself right now!
(1)The passage mainly talks about () .
A. the difficult learning styles of some people
B. the easy learning ways of other people
C. the different learning styles of the Japanese
D. the different learning methods of all the people

A. The way people are taught to learn a language.
B. The place where people are from.
C. The size of people.
D. The kind of person people are.
(3)Visual Learners like to () .
A. see things
B. touch things
C. hear things

D. do well in conversation
games or hanging from ropes?Traditionally,many organizations approach team building in this way but,then,they wonder why that wonderful sense of teamwork that has been displayed at the retreat or the seminar fails to impact long-term beliefs and actions back at work.
I'm not averse to retreats,planning sessions,seminars and team building activities-in fact I lead them-but they have to form part of a much larger teamwork effort.You will not build teamwork by“retreating”as a group for a couple of days each year,instead you need to think of team building as something you do every single day.
Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes.Provide training in systematic methods so the team expends its energy on the project,not on trying to workout how to work together as a team to approach the problem.
Hold department meetings to review projects and progress,to obtain broad input,and to coordinate shared work processes.If there is friction between team members,examine the work processes they mutually own-the problem is not usually their personalities; instead,it is often the fact that the team members haven't agreed on how they will deliver a product or service,or the steps required to get something done.
●Build fun and shared occasions into the organization's agenda-hold potluck lunches,take the team to a sporting event,sponsor dinner sat a local restaurant,go hiking or go to an amusement park.Hold a monthly company meeting,sponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans.
●Use icebreakers and teamwork exercises at meetings-these help team members get to know each other,share details about each other's lives,and have a laugh together.
●Celebrate team successes publicly.There are many ways you could do this,for instance by buying everyone the same T-shirt or hat,putting team member names in a draw for company merchandise and gift certificates.The only thing limiting you is your imagination.
If you do the types of teamwork building listed above,you'll be amazed at the progress you will make in creating a teamwork culture,a culture that enables individuals to contribute more than they ever thought possible-together.
1.Team building event is traditionally related to playing games at resort.
2.The author claims that playing games together is as important as forming teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes for team building.
3.“Retreat”in the first paragraph means withdrawal of troops after a defeat.
4.Ice breaking motivates team members to compete with each other.
5.A good teamwork culture enables individuals to make more efforts together.
"State of the art" is something that is as modem as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.
"State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modem way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970 ' s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art".
Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. (80) The expression "state of the art" became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".
What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developed.
B.To give examples of "high tech".
C.To tell what "high tech" and "state of the art" are.
D.To describe very modem technology.

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "look-say" or "whole-word" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed,"learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can"t Read, Flesch indicted the nation"s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said——and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed——that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with
sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is_________. 查看材料
A. only logical and natural
B. the expected position
C. probably a mistake
D. merely effective instruction
Even without taking the technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the industrialized world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of students taking college courses in the United States.
However, there is debate in scholar circles about how far new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and student are still vital. Britain's Open University, for example, a world leader in distance education, has embraced information technology cautiously, believing it to be no substitute for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.
But the Open University is also moving with the tide. It has set up a "knowledge media institute" to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are expected to make in computer and communications equipment contradicts the concept of "open" cost, of course, is and important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.
Distance learning is different from the traditional correspondence course in that______.
A.it requires the individual student to work alone
B.it enables all the students to work at the same pace
C.it allows students to discuss with one another and their teachers
D.it enables geographically scattered students to study in the same physical classroom
