III. Background Information1

Dessert 甜点

In Western culture, dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food. The word comes from the French language as dessert, “to clear the table”and “to serve.”Common desserts include cakes, cookies, pastries, ice cream, pie, and candies. Fruit may also be eaten with the dessert.

The word dessert is most commonly used for this course in U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, while sweet and pudding may be alternative terms used in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries, including India. In England, the term pudding is usually used among the upper and upper-middle classes, with dessert only used if the course consists of fruit or sweetmeats, after the cheese and biscuits course.

Hello class,

Does PBL ring a bell? It is an abbreviation for problem-based learning, an education model that intends to train students to become problem solvers. This means that students learn how to think critically, how to raise important questions, how to use the information gained, and how to make decisions when solving a particular problem. Do you think this is what is supposed to be happening at college? Or is the goal to stay passive receiving knowledge from the instructor all the time?

幻灯片19

Of course, it is not easy to be a problem solver. A particular problem can be difficult and tough, at first seemingly impossible to solve. Yet let’s not forget that the toughest challenge can also offer the greatest opportunity. So don’t just say something is impossible without making an effort. Give it a try and you might find out you can go much farther than you expected.

In short, there’s no way to get to solutions without first exploring the hows and whys of the problem. What happens happens for a reason. Only when you are open to

the possible is nothing impossible.

21世纪大学英语教程(第四册)Unit1课文原文

21世纪大学英语读写教程(第四册)Unit1课文原文 《Who Is Great?》 Michal Ryan As a young boy, Albert Einstein did so poorly in school that teachers thought he was slow. The young Napoleon Bonaparte was just one of hundreds of artillery lieutenants in the French Army. And the teenage George Washington, with little formal education, was being trained not as a soldier but as a land surveyor. Despite their unspectacular beginnings, each would go on to carve a place for himself in history. What was it that enabled them to become great? Were they born with something special? Or did their greatness have more to do with timing, devotion and, perhaps, an uncompromising personality? For decades, scientists have been asking such questions. And, in the past few years, they have found evidence to help explain why some people rise above, while others—similarly talented, perhaps—are left behind. Their findings could have implications for us all. Who is great? Defining who is great depends on how one measures success. But there are some criteria. "Someone who has made a lasting contribution to human civilization is great," said Dean Keith Simonton, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of the 1994 book Greatness: Who Makes History and Why. But he added a word of caution: "Sometimes great people don't make it into the history books. A lot of women achieved great things or were influential but went unrecognized." In writing his book, Simonton combined historical knowledge about great figures with recent findings in genetics, psychiatry and the social sciences. The great figures he focused on include men and women who have won Nobel Prizes, led great nations or won wars, composed symphonies that have endured for centuries, or revolutionized science, philosophy, politics or the arts. Though he doesn't have a formula to define how or why certain people rise above (too many factors are involved), he has come up with a few common characteristics. A "never surrender" attitude. If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. "There's a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal," he explained. "But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It's a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion." He cited Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into office when his country's morale was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired the nation when he said, "We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end...We shall never surrender."

These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established, deadlines may be set, and priorities assigned. This process results in a plan with a task list or a schedule or calendar of activities. A task list (also to-do list or things-to-do) is a list of tasks to be completed, such as chores or steps toward completing a project. Task lists are often prioritized. An early advocate of “ABC” prioritization was Alan Lakein. In his system “A” items were the most important (“A-1” the most important within that group), “B” next most important, “C” least important. A particular method of applying the ABC method assigns “A” to tasks to be done within a day, “B” a week, and “C” a month. Basic Tips on Time Management for Students Every student spends a lot of time studying and almost every one of them would like their studying to be more efficient. Here are some basic tips to manage your time better when studying. Minimize Distractions Eliminate everything that might be a distraction in the area where you are studying.
