There are two major teaching methods in schools: the lecture system and the discussion system.
The two teaching methods have their own strengths and weaknesses respectively.
Many students like the lecture system because it helps them to learn quickly and much more. Attending a well-prepared lecture is a most rewarding experience: it can open a new horizon for you and save you much time as well – the time you might otherwise spend reading one book after another. Yet the fault of the lecture system is that it cultivates a bad habit of passive learning. Students bring their notebooks and even tape recorders to class to write everything down without thinking for themselves, let alone raise any question to teachers.
On the contrary, the discussion system encourages students to form their own ideas and opinion. To engage in frequent and even heated debates, you have to do a lot of homework beforehand, find answers yourselves and thus you develop the analytical skills which benefit both your study habit and your future life. However, it also has its weakness: students do not learn systematically.

The above passage compares the advantages and disadvantages of the two major teaching methods in schools: the lecture system and the discussion system.
Actually, some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class, While others prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. I prefer the lecture system for three reasons: I am used to the lecture system; it is an efficient system; I am too shy to talk in class. All my school life, I have listened to teachers. The lecture system is an efficient one. I want the teacher to give me as much information as he or she can during the class period. I hate it when the class is full of laughter or gossips.
I hope I can always study in a school or university where they use the lecture system. I think it is better to continue with what one is used to.

阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
