One of difficulties for foreign students in

1．________

American Universities is taking notes while listen to

2．________

lectures．These notes are later used to studying for

3．________

exams．If the notes aren't well, it will be hard for

4．________

the student to prepare an exam．But it is not easy

5．________

to take good notes．If you try to write each word the

6．________

professor says, you can't keep pace with(眼上)the

7．________

lecture．What you should learn is to write only the most

8．________

important words, not the whole sentences．Words like

9．________

nouns and verbs are most important．Remembering that

10．________

you need information, not sentences．

Jack was in his way home．He had been out of work

1．________

for two weeks and could not find another work．Today

2．________

he didn't have nothing to eat, for he had no more

3．________

money in his pocket．As he was walking on, he stopped

4．________

by a tall man．“Hands up and don't move!”the tall

5．________

Man ordered him with a low voice．He had a gun in his

6．________

hands．“Give me whole your money．Be quick, or I'll

7．________

kill you．”Jack answered,“I'm sorry I had no money

8．________

at all．”The man didn't believe in him, so Jack told him about

9．________

his bad luck,“We are in same boat!”said the man．

10．_______

He took out one dollar, gave it to Jack and went away．

I used to love science class－all of them－

1．________

Biology, chemistry, geography, physics．I think I

2．________

liked those classes because I felt that it helped me

3．________

understand what the world works．For example, when

4．________

I was a child, the rain was a mystery．In one

5．________

Class, I learned it rained．I think science classes

6．________

clear up mysteries．But then there is always more

7．________

mysteries look into．What was my least favorite class?

8．________

That was maths．After learn the basics of the subject,

9．________

nothing else seemed very practically to me．I never

10．________

saw how I could use it in my daily life．

　　Nelson Mandela's greatest pleasure, his most private moment, is watching the sun set with the music of Handel or Tchaikovsky playing．

And his fellow prisoners, concerts were organized

1．________

when possible, especially at Christmas time．Now they

2．________

would sing．Nelson Mandela finds music very uplifting (情绪高涨的)，

and took an interest not only in European

3．________

classical music but also about African choral music and

4．________

many talents in South African music．But one voice stands

out after all that is of Paul Robeson, whom he describes

5．________

for our hero．

6．________

He has formed some health habits in the years in

7．________

prison：the eating habit of an athlete began in 1940 s,

8．________

as did the early morning exercise．Still today Nelson

Mandela is up by 4∶30 am, irrespective(不考虑)of

what late he has worked the previous evening．By 5 am

9．________

he has begun his exercise that lasts at least an hour．

Breakfast is by 6∶30, when the day's newspapers are

reading．The day's work has begun．

10．________

Albert Einstein was a genius in science, and he did

1．________

not care about everyday thing．One day, Einstein went

2．________

to the kitchen help his wife with cooking．He was irritated

3．________

to tear when peeling onions．His wife

4．________

told him that it would be very more comfortable to peel

5．________

onions in water．A moment late, his wife noticed that

6．________

Einstein disappeared．After failing to find him in the house,

7．________

she rushed out to the yard and shouted at, “Albert, Albert!”

8．________

Just then, Einstein appeared from the swimming pool and

9．________

said, “I jump into the water to peel onions, only to find

10．________

I couldn't even open my eyes, or breathe．You fooled me．”
