18、art attack, whereas 30 percent of those who did not watch had a second heart attack. W: Wow! Laughter is really a good medicine to patients. Can you give us another example? M: Sure! Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, learned this during a battle with an illness. He discovered that his c

19、ondition improved when he enjoyed himself and watched funny movies. W: You said Norman learned this? Do we have to learn to laugh? M: Not necessarily.

24、 So, about your lecture, I understand you were talking about extinctions. M: Yes. Well, the crux of my talk was just that we tend to think of extinction as a dramatic event, but most species die out over quite a period of time. W: Why do they die off? I thought they were continuously improving thems

25、elves. Natural selection, I think you once mentioned. M: Ah, but you see while there is natural competition between the species, what determines which species survive is largely by chance. W: I dont get it. Why do species bother competing? M: Well, there are short term advantages. But many species a

31、h of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially and many of them are very profitable. These papers are written almost entirely for readers int

32、erested in local events births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve. Editors prefer to rely on a small staff of people who all know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and c

38、own away as trash. We burn a lot of trash. More smoke and soot. And then there are the cars made in factories. Once they are out on the street, the cars will take in air and replace it with poisonous gases. Again, more smoke and soot. No area in the world is completely free of air pollution. We must

39、 take measures to control it. Now, more and more people are realizing the importance of clean air. Schools are now teaching about the pollution problem. Industries are beginning to help to clean up. They are installing equipment to clean up their smoke. Scientists and inventors are trying to develop

40、 cleaner engines for cars and trains. Someday we may drive cars with electricity. A new kind of paper that will dissolve in water and need not to be burned.

But a low TOEFL score will limit your choices for financial aid and admission to top schools. The most competitive universities generally expect an Internet-ba

44、sed test score of 90 or above. Others accept lower scores, and some do not require a TOEFL score at all. Most universities do not publicize an actual cutoff score, but a high score will always help. Here are some tips for getting started with TOEFL: 1. Plan ahead It takes a long time to improve your

45、 TOEFL score. Many students study just before the test. Raising your score will take months of intensive work. Do not expect a big lift in your test results after two weeks. There is no easy way to improve your score quickly. You will have to spend a lot of time and energy. 2. Master the basics firs

46、t Many students study for the TOEFL before they are ready. You should have at least an upper-intermediate English level before you attempt the test.

Do not depend on informal advice or tricks. Do not try to outwit the test maker. Think of reading, listening, speaking, writing, and grammar as a single connected concept-communication. The real goal of the test is to measure how well a student can communicate in an English-speaking classroom. Immerse yourself in English on a daily basis and improvement is sure to follow.
