While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It ta lks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one?s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familia r with. Then the woman adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one?s notes after class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “D istributed Practice”, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days.

Task 2: Where did the professor go?

This is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.

Task3: How to Remember Names

Script

You just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, “This is Don Smith”.

About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that “this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can?t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.

This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating

the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your “memory bank” each time you hear someone?s name, and within a short time the “repeating” process can be discontinued

When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridic ulous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that “ties in “with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the “picture” in your mind?s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the “picture” you have assigned to the name.

Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.

Task 2: The Final Exam

At a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.

These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn?t make it back to school until early Monday morning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for

the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn?t have a spare, and couldn?t g et help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.

The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.

They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.

On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”

Task 2: Nuclear Family Living Patterns

A nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.

In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children?s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.

Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company?s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.

Task 2: Two Essential Factors in an Interview

When applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It?s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it?s this anxiety,not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.

So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physical. Mentally, it?s important to prepare yourself for the i nterview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won?t be the end of the world if you don?t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.

Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it?s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination. It?s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn?t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and cons ervative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don?t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you?d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it?s n ot necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.

Task1: Hot Business Ideas

Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.D

Task 2: What do you know about business?

Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.

People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.

One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.

Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.

Pamela complains that the government just squanders people?s hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lower. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already directed to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don?t want to work, prefe rring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.

Task 2: Mountain regions face a number of dangers.

Mountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening

environment, according to a UN report.

As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world?s remotest regions increases.

The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world?s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.

The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055. Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.

The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.

At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year. In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.
