15、eading Comprehensio(总题数：8，分数：60.00)7.Part III Reading Comprehension_8.Section A_Of all the 1of a good nights sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary the

16、ory that dreams were the 2shadows of our unconscious desires and fears: by the late 1970s, neurologists had 3to thinking of them as just “mental noise“the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the minds emotional thermo

And one leading authority says that these 5powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better, “Its your dream,“ says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of 6at Chicagos Medical Centre. “I

18、f you dont like it, change it.“ The 7between dreams and emotions show up among the patients in Cartwrights clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before 8, suggesting that they are working through 9feelings generated during the day. Becau

To be honest 1 only did my training because my

21、husband was on a four-year course and 1 was on a three-year course at Cardiff University so I wanted to do something for one year. I thought doing a teaching qualification would be interesting and might be quite usefull. Im convinced that nothing else I might have done would have given me so much pl

22、easure and satisfaction, or fitted in so well with family life.B)When I retire, in just a few years time, I can look back on a career which made a positive difference to the lives of thousands of children. Few other career choices can be so rewarding, so if you have a love of your subject and want t

23、he opportunity to pass that on then teaching can be a great career.C)Anyone going into teaching now will be used to teaching to formal work schemes and observation. I think it has raised standards in the profession but personally I feel the loss in the classroom. Ive got the confidence of 30 years e

24、xperience. Ive seen new approaches come and go(and sometimes even identical “new ideas“ come and go more than once).D)For me, its the passion for your subject and interest in the success of your students that matters more than how all the acronyms(首字母缩略词)add up. This is what will make you a good tea

25、cher. There s still room for individuals but you have to have the confidence and passion for your subject to make it work.E)The major challenge in teaching is time. Theres not enough of it. Its hard if youre working full time to cope with the marking and feel that you have enough time to do your job

26、 properly. I ve worked part time ever since I had children. I officially work three days a weektrot on my two days off I always work, it probably all adds up to what counts as a full weeks work in most other jobs but the pay isn t bad so you can work part time and then the job really does fit in wit

27、h family life. There are shortcuts to save time, and if had to work part time I d have to use them. But working part time gives me the luxury to be a critical marker. It can take two hours to mark a 3,000 word A level essay, so if you have 16 pupils thats 32 hours of marking in one week for just one

28、 class.F)One of the benefits of being a part-time teacher is that I do have time to mark properly. Sometimes my feedback is almost as long as their essay but 1 really want the kids to do well. One of the best things about teaching is you get to raise children s aspirations, and to make a difference

29、in their lives. You get visits and emails from your old students to prove it! Its great to make the difference, and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile.G)The core of teaching is the subject and the pupils. We have a lot of NQTs and PGCE students coming to our school and sometimes I must adm

30、it to being disappointed when students dont know their subjects that well. I had an NQT who was teaching Animal Farm and asked me “Whats Marxism?“ and shed got a first in her degree so it just goes to show that government initiatives to try and attract those with firsts aren t necessarily going work

31、.H)However, lots of people drop out of teaching after a couple of years, it is an exhausting job. So my advice to those just starting out is:I)Dont lose your sense of proportion over things that happen in the classroom or in an observation that doesnt go well. As long as in the bigger picture of thi

32、ngs you are connecting with kids and the subjectthen dont get frustrated. Even after 30 years of teaching everyone has fearful days in teaching, when you think: “Can I really do this?“ Youve got to keep positive: its only a problem if you get more bad days than good days.J)Make sure teaching doesnt

33、overwhelm you. You have to develop strategies especially if you are teaching a subject which requires a lot of marking. So plan things well. Get your pupils to do peer marking, which really can work. If you know you just cant handle any more marking in a particular week, get pupils to write a speech

34、 and then perform it in the next class. Youve got to think ahead about times of maximum workload and plan accordinglyask your more experienced colleagues for advice.K)Youve got to keep your sense of humour, which is a great way of relieving a situation. I know I became a better teacher when I became

35、 a parent. I realised that kids can be so unpleasant sometimes, even your own kids. They dont mean it: theyre just being kids. It doesnt mean they hate you or hate your lessons. When youre a new teacher coming into teaching, especially if you are young, you think of the students as almost your adver

36、saries(对手), until you ve got to defeat them. But youve got to be careful what you say. You cant belittle them too much or you can really harm them.L)Love your subject. If you are going to succeed in secondary school teaching, you must love your subject. The kids really know if you do or don t.M)You

37、have to know your students are individuals, they learn in different ways. You have to be sensitive to that.N)You cant just teach a formula. I do worry about the difference between lip service to what the government say its supposed to be like and what its really like. I do hate the untruthfulness of

38、 that and the gulf seems to widen more and more. It feels like what matters most is whats tested. The trouble is nothing that is really worthwhile, the love of learning, connection with literature, having empathythese are the things that really make a difference to someones life but of course they c

39、ant be tested. Young teachers have to be careful not to get lost in formulas and initiatives. A more experienced teacher will have confidence to respond to kids and to talk about an issue thats raised in class thats not on the plan. The children will learn so much from that but there s no box to tic

But just

44、 what is it about the social network that takes a hit on our mood? A study of the different ways of interacting with the site now offers an answer: Grazing on the content of other people s idealized lives may make reality painful. Scientists have long debated Facebooks impact on users in-the-moment

45、mood as well as their deeper satisfaction with life. Some studies have found that the site makes us happier: others, sadder. One of the problems is that most studies were cross-sectional, taking a snapshot of people at one point of time. But that makes it difficult to separate our use of Facebook from the many other factors known to affect well-being, from overwork to romantic meltdowns. A 2013 study led by Ethan Kross, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, sidestepped this problem
