题目内容

The time restriction (限制) for retaking International English Language Testing System (IELTS) will be abolished (废除) on May 1,2007.

“Instead of having to wait 90 days before retaking the test, candidates will be able to repeat the exam immediately,” announced the British Council, the IELTS organizer in China.

A change in the way the test is administrated allowed IELTS to lift the retake restriction. “In the past, for a test which has over three administrations a month, repetition of test questions was unavoidable. It’s unfair if some candidates got easy scores by luckily remembering some questions they met not a long time ago,” said Xu Chunna, Examinations Marketing Officer of the British Council.

“However, since 2002, IELTS has been using onetime testing papers,” said Xu. This greatly reduced the possibility of repeating a test question.

Changes in the way students use the test also influenced the Council’s decision to reverse the retake rule.

Cambridge surveys showed that IELTS is now used by organizations to judge both candidates’ overall English performance and their individual skills.

Many candidates attain their required overall band score in IELTS tests, but fail to achieve a score in a particular skill area.

Under the old rule, students had to wait 90 days to retake the test. This often inconvenienced students and their prospective (将来的) employers and universities.

But IELTS warns that simply retaking the test will not greatly improve a score. To significantly improve a score it is necessary to engage in serious further study.

Everyone wants to have a healthy heart. Still, heart diseases affect more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The good news is that some simple, everyday habits can make a big difference in your ability to live a healthy lifestyle. Here are some worst habits for your heart, and how to avoid them.

Watching TV

Sitting for hours on end increases your risk of heart attack and stroke(中风),“some exercise doesn’t make up for the time you sit,”says Harmony R. Reynolds, Why? The lack of movement may affect blood levels of fats and sugars. Dr. Reynolds advises walking around regularly and, if you’re at work, standing up to talk on the phone.

Leaving hostility and depression unchecked

Are you feeling stressed or sad? It can do harm to your heart. While everyone feels this way some of the time, how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health.“Those with stress are in greater danger; research has shown a benefit to laughter and social support,” Dr. Reynolds says. “And it’s helpful to be able to go to someone and talk about your problems.”

Cutting off from the world

It's no secret that on some days, other human beings can seem annoying and too difficult to get along with.

However, it makes sense to strengthen your connections to the ones you actually like. People with stronger connections to family, friends, and society in general tend to live longer, healthier lives.

Everyone needs alone time, but you should still reach out to others and keep in touch whenever you can.
