第一篇:读完一篇英语文章,如何给出现的生词做笔记
在正式阅读前,首先要分清策略,这个我觉得比笔记本身还重要
首先阅读必须分精读和泛读,时间规划怎么安排?可以每天半小时精读一小时泛读,或者一周分七天,工作日五天每天精读,周六日泛读,大量阅读书本,或者做个一年规划,前半年精读,后半年泛读,然后再来个三个月精读,都可以
精读就是做笔记,经常复习,泛读,就是透析英语法,具体操作可以参考伍君仪的博客
材料选择:精读材料最好选择深度的报刊和新闻评论,一定要短小精悍,而且没必要一定得一次性把正本杂志从头到尾读完,每天读几篇喜欢的即可。题主选择的ECO是极好的,我更推荐ECO的中国版块和纽约客的中国来信,用词准确精到,很有嚼头,而且学到的东西都很实用,方便我们以后更精确的表达描述中国,评价中国热点,哪怕以后翻墙去FB YT跟老外对喷也更擅长一点
除此以外,完整的课本也可以,比如大学英语精泛读课本10册(好像是10册),NCE等等,像英语学习,21世纪报,疯狂英语,英语世界,英语文摘,英语沙龙等国内报刊也都适合——这些难度自然比ECO简单的多,题材有趣程度当然也比不上原版报刊,但都是不错的材料
另外还有自己喜欢的电视电影节目的脚本,演讲稿等材料也适合用来精读
泛读最好选择自己爱看的小说或者大长篇读物,透析英语法压下不说,书目参考我以往的回答
做笔记的策略:
1,精读最重要的不是阅读精读,成就感不是我读了多少文章,而是我吸收到了多少东西,做了多少笔记,进行了多少复习,把精力和成就感放在这方面,泛读则要注重自己读了多少页,这个一定要注意,哪怕你一个月只精读了10篇文章,但吸收了1000个用法,这就是绝对的成就感
所以做笔记一定要编号,每天固定收录多少个用法,并且画复习表格,按时复习
2,什么样的人适合精读?任何人都可以,但是自己要统筹和练习听说的时间分配。还必须选对材料,上面列出了难易两个程度的材料了,一开始可以从教材开始阅读,但是不要以为读教材就可以搞定问题了——你需要精读很多材料才可以
3,工具:本子,普通圆珠笔,高亮彩笔(粗粗的一道可以用来高亮词组的),手机词典(一定要装英英词典的词库),阅读材料(最好打印,kindle或者笔记本阅读也可以)
4,记什么?
记单词和中文意思是最低效最得不偿失的选择,你的关注点是搭配和句式,句式比较难,一开始可以不观察,但是一定要留意搭配,尤其是动词搭配和介词搭配,据我所知这是中国人最困难的,什么词用at什么词用in,完全没有章法,瞎用一气
举个例子,research这个词人人认识,简单的很,怎么用很多人就不知道了,如果要用这个词,可能写出make a research这类搭配,当然严格来说不算错,但是奇怪的很,为什么不用carry out a research,这个就跟国人恶劣的学习习惯有关——只注重记单词,不注重记搭配
5,画复习表格,在笔记本右上记录日期页码,保持按时复习
例文(有空我把我的笔记图片发上来):
Banyan: Comprehensive education(我个人最爱的版块)
Chinese Communist slogans do not count if you cannot count by them.The number four, though shunned in many Chinese contexts because the word sounds like “death”, has a particularly good party pedigree.Mr Xi grew up under Chairman Mao, learning to smash the “Four Olds”(customs, culture, habits and ideas);he will have cheered when Mao’s successor, Hua Guofeng, revived the “Four Modernisations”(agriculture, industry, defence and technology);and he will have been able in his sleep to recite Deng’s “Four Basic Principles”(don’t ask).Mr Xi is right to add his own offering to the abacus of party thought that proceeds on through the five principles of peaceful coexistence, the six evils(such as gambling)—or these days the six bans—and the seven don’t mentions(such as, of course, “freedom of speech”).在做笔记时候,摘抄你觉得好的句子/你觉得好的搭配所在的句子/你不认识的单词所在句子,比如说,我们看到这几个句子:
Chinese Communist slogans do not count if you cannot count by them.The number four, though shunned in many Chinese contexts because the word sounds like “death”, has a particularly good party pedigree.Mr Xi grew up under Chairman Mao, learning to smash the “Four Olds”(customs, culture, habits and ideas);he will have cheered when Mao’s successor, Hua Guofeng, revived the “Four Modernisations”(agriculture, industry, defence and technology);and he will have been able in his sleep to recite Deng’s “Four Basic Principles”(don’t ask).然后用彩笔高亮生词/搭配,这里我没法高亮,就用黑体
Chinese Communist 1, slogans do not countif you cannot count by them.The number four, though 2, shunned in many Chinese contexts because 3, the word sounds like “death”, has 4, a particularly good party pedigree.Mr Xi 5, grew up under Chairman Mao, learning to 6, smash the “Four Olds”(customs, culture, habits and ideas);he will have cheered when Mao’s successor, Hua Guofeng, revived 6, the “Four Modernisations”(agriculture, industry, defence and technology);and he will have been able in his sleep to recite Deng’s 7, “Four Basic Principles”(don’t ask).就这样,看到好的,或者不懂的搭配,就高亮,然后标序,记住绝对不要记录生词释义,只要用手机词典查阅下即可
每天记录多少个句子不重要,但是高亮标序的话,建议还是靠积累,最好不要超过20-30个,太多了记不好
笔记记录的个数,最好不要超过20-30个
下面是复习,使用spaced repetition复习,首先在笔记本上标上页码和日期,在下面表格上填上复习时间
如上图,可以随便改
注释:1,居最上的横行可以随便写,只要标明你当天学习了哪些内容即可 2,左侧栏为复习时间
如何使用:
比如你今天学习了笔记是10-11页 那么就在第一行空白地方填10-11页 今天刚好是2.15日
你2.15号记录一次,那么立刻把复习日期统统写上,然后再2.16复习一次,2.17复习一次2.21复习一次,2.29复习一次,3.15复习一次
复习方法:
两眼扫描一下,回忆下这个搭配的意思即可,如果不认识,那么掏手机查,现在手机非常方便,只要不到3秒就能查到一个单词,复习起来非常方便
这些搭配都是主动词汇,一天10个计,一个月就是300个,三个月就增加了1000多个表达法或搭配,表达能力将会得到极大提高

GMAT加油站--如何给出现的生词做笔记
在正式阅读前,首先要分清策略,精读就是做笔记,经常复习,泛读。所以做笔记一定要编号,每天固定收录多少个用法,并且画复习表格,按时复习。接下来小编就带大家一起看看如何给生词做笔记,希望对大家备考GMAT考试有帮助。
网路上有很多记笔记的办法和学英文的办法,我看过不少也用了不少,但是很多在实际操作中并不好用,要么太繁琐,要么太零碎,要么太简洁,我自己吸收,简化,运用,摸索,推广后,从一个天赋一般的普通人(非学霸非学渣)角度出发,我觉得在具体的学习方向和重点,以及细节操作方面,还是能够有效的让普通人迅速上手并长期坚持下去的,这也是我一贯以来的特点(当然针对那些擅长用想象力对我提出批评或攻击的人,我还是只好无可奉告)

只查影响阅读实意的单词!
重要事情说三遍。
当你在看学术性文章时,毫无疑问会出现很多生词,如果一个个查过去,不说浪费时间,对于文章连贯性的理解会非常差。以前我这样做的时候,只能第一遍查单词,第二遍才能串起来读。
如果你是在做research,就不可能完成任务。
阅读的目的,不要想着一口吃个胖子,我年轻一点的时候,对自己记忆力很有自信,想着看完一篇文章查完所有的生词,这样相当于我一篇文章能背50个啦。实际上,你看着满满的单词注解和音标,根本不愿意再看第二遍。所以你要最大限度的保持页面的整洁。
不广泛性地查单词,保证了阅读的简,然后你要做到精。
5,画复习表格,在笔记本右上记录日期页码,保持按时复习。
以上就是关于如何给生词做笔记的介绍,对于参加GMAT考试的考生来说,这是对于以后成为MBA管理者的最佳经验,更多关于GMAT考试时间的介绍,小编会为大家不断呈现,希望考生安心备考,争取早日梦圆名校。
第三篇:什么是给力,英语文章
The word “Geili”, in my mind, can be a noun, verb or an adjective used to describe people or things that are very impressive and therefore be easily remembered.Different people have different views about definitions of “Geili”, I feel honor to share my comprehension of the word to you.If people around you make you happy, you can say that they are geilivable.Have you ever been celebrated birthday by your friends or your families? Have you ever been excited because they bought you a big surprise?Normally, I seldom remember my birthday because I don’t attach muchimportance to it, so such a thing as celebrating birthday was rare before I went to college.Even in my family, we have no such habit.Rare things seemsextraordinarily precious.Just as what impressed me most several weeks ago was that my roommates bought me a big cake, sang birthday songs to me and sent blessings to me.The cake was so beautiful that it was decorated with colorful fruits such as red cherries, yellow kiwis, which made it look delicious and all of us cannot wait to eat.I felt content and moved for all such things they did for me.At this moment, “Geili” can be equal to expression of love and friendship.“Geili” can be equal to dedication.Nowadays, our society is not lack of kind-hearted people.Donating money and goods for disabled poor people or helping an old man who have stumbled are kind of geilivable things, which make them as well as you, a lovely person, feel warm.“Geili’ sometimes can even be used to describemovies or songs that are pretty favorable.Maybe some movies or songs remind you of your past experience and then touch your heart deeply, and some may give you many reflections about life, love or something else, which change your attitudes or actions absolutely.Such kind of movies or songs can be honored to be “Geili” one.To conclude, “Geili’ is a kind of invisible force, it can make you happy, energetic and inspirational.Once you get it, you can live a motivational life.
第四篇:优美英语文章.乔布斯十句经典名言给我们的启迪范文
Powerful Quotes From The Steve Jobs Movie And What They Teach Us About Leadership 电影《乔布斯》中十句经典名言给我们的启迪
The script for Jobs, the new movie starring Ashton Kutcher as the visionary Apple co-founder, is heavy with quotes that reflect Jobs‟ business philosophy and approach to life.I‟ve interviewed the director, Joshua Michael Stern, and I recognize most of Kutcher‟s lines in the movie as being either direct quotes from Steve Jobs or compilations of his quotes.Here is my vote for the ten best quotes from the movie and what they can teach us about leadership, creativity, communications, and success.在新片《乔布斯》中,由阿什顿·库彻(Ashton Kutcher)主演苹果公司富有远见的联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯。这部影片的剧本大量引用了乔布斯生前讲过的话,反映了乔布斯的经营理念以及生活态度。我采访了这部影片的导演约书亚·迈克尔·斯坦恩(Joshua Michael Stern),我认识到,库彻在这部影片中的绝大部分台词要么是直接引用了乔布斯曾经讲过的原话,要么是对乔氏名言的汇编。以下是我从这部影片中选出的十句最佳乔氏名言,这些名言能够为我们带来领导力、创造力、沟通和成功方面的启迪。
1.I‟m not dismissing the value of higher education;I‟m simply saying it comes at the expense of experience.1.我并不是贬低高等教育的价值,我只是说,其代价是偏废了经验。
According to Jobs film directorJoshua Michael Stern, Steve Jobs felt that life experiences were critical to being creative.Stern included pivotal scenes in the movie showing a young Steve Jobs taking a college calligraphy course and visiting India with his friend, Daniel Kottke.“Absorbing culture, art, and history were extremely important to Jobs.He believed in taking life experiences and using it as a subtext for something else you‟re doing, like helping to form the product you‟re creating, ” said Stern.This is one of the most powerful success principles we can learn from Steve Jobs: a broad set of life experiences is essential for creativity to flourish.据电影《乔布斯》的导演约书亚·迈克尔·斯坦恩称,乔布斯认为,生活经验对于创造力而言是至关重要的。斯特恩的电影中有几个关键场景,这些场景描绘年轻时代的乔布斯选修一门大学书法课程,以及和他的朋友丹尼尔·科特基(Daniel Kottke)一起游历印度。斯特恩说:“对于乔布斯而言,培养文化、艺术和历史素养是极为重要的。他相信获取生活经验,并把这些经验当作潜台词运用于你正在从事的其他事情上是很有意义的,比如帮助构建你正在开发的产品。”这是我们可以向乔布斯学习的最有力的成功原则之一:要想让创造力蓬勃发展,涉及面广泛的一系列生活经验必不可少。
2.The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure.And if we want to be great, we‟ve got to risk it too.2.像迪伦(Dylan)、毕加索(Picasso)等最伟大的艺术家以及牛顿都曾经冒着失败的风险。如果我们想取得伟大成就,那么我们也必须甘冒风险。
Steve Jobs didn‟t hesitate to take risks.If he wanted something, he would ask, even at a young age.When Jobs was twelve years old he called up HP co-founder Bill Hewlett and asked for spare parts.Hewlett gave Jobs the parts and a summer job.“You‟ve got to be willing to crash and burn.If you‟re afraid of failing, you won‟t get very far, ” Jobs once said.“Most people never pick up the phone and call.Most people never ask, and that‟s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.” I‟ve rarely interviewed a successful entrepreneur or CEO who hasn‟t risked failure.In fact most successful people don‟t even see „failure;‟ they see a result that didn‟t have the intended outcome.乔布斯对承担风险毫不犹豫。如果他想要什么东西,他会提出来,即便在年轻时也是如此。乔布斯在12岁的时候,曾打电话给惠普联合创始人比尔·休利特(Bill Hewlett),向休利特要一些零配件。结果休利特不但提供了零配件,还邀请乔布斯夏天去惠普打工。乔布斯曾经说:“你必须甘愿一败涂地。如果你害怕失败,你就不会走得太远。大多数人从不主动拿起电话拨打。大多数人从不主动提出要求,这是将做事情的人和只会梦想着要做事情的人区分开来的不同之处。”在我采访过的成功企业家或者首席执行官(CEO)当中,没有冒过失败风险的人很少。事实上,最成功的人甚至看不到“失败”——他们只是把失败看作一种没有达到预期目标的结果而已。
3.How does somebody know what they want if they haven‟t even seen it? 3.如果连见都没见过,他们怎么知道自己想要什么呢?
Steve Jobs didn‟t believe in focus groups.Actually, he avoided them like the plague.Jobs believed in building great products that he would want to use himself.To a large extent he had a point.For example, in 2010 how many of us would have asked for a third device in between a laptop and a smartphone? Most people would never have asked for an iPad, but once millions of consumers saw it, they couldn‟t live without it, and it opened up entirely new categories of business applications.When I spent one year researching a book on the Apple Store, I learned that Jobs revolutionized the retail business because he asked better questions.For example, Jobs did not ask, “How do we build a better store than our competitors?” Instead he asked, “How do we reinvent the store?” Don‟t do things better;do things differently.乔布斯不相信焦点小组(focus group,市场调研方法,指通过倾听一组从目标市场中选来的被调查者,获取他们对产品、服务等内容的看法或态度——译者注)。事实上,他像躲避瘟疫般避免焦点小组。乔布斯的信念是开发他自己想要使用的卓越产品。在很大程度上,他的这种想法是有道理的。比如,在2010年,我们当中有多少人会要求制造商开发一款介于笔记本电脑和智能手机之间的第三类设备呢?大多数人从来没有要求制造商开发iPad平板电脑,但是一旦许许多多消费者看到iPad之后,他们的生活就再也无法离开它了,而它开辟了一类全新的商业应用。当我为了撰写一本有关苹果专卖店的书而花费一年的时间进行调查时,我认识到乔布斯彻底改变了零售行业,因为他提出了更好的问题。比如,乔布斯没有问:“我们如何建立一家比我们竞争对手更好的零售店?”相反,他问道:“我们如何彻底改造零售店的模式?”不要只是想着把事情做得更好,而要以与众不同的方式来做事情。
4.Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.4.你身边被你称为“生活”的一切事物,都是由那些并不比你聪明的人所造就的。而你可以改变生活,影响生活,造就其他人可以使用的你自己的东西。Ashton Kutcher likes this quote so much he used it in a short speech at a recent award show, explaining that it‟s one of the most profound things he learned while preparing for the role as Steve Jobs.The quote itself is taken from a rare 1995 interview for the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association.The entire clip is available here on YouTube.The rest of the quote is equally as profound: “When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life and try not to bash into the walls too much…that‟s a very limited life.Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact—everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you…shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you‟re just going to live in it versus make your mark upon it.Once you learn that, you will never be the same again.” Don‟t just live a life;build one.阿什顿·库彻非常喜欢这句话,甚至在最近的一次颁奖晚会上发言时也引用了这句话,并且解释说,这是他为扮演乔布斯这个角色进行准备的过程中,学到的意义最为深远的道理之一。这句乔氏名言是乔布斯在1995年少有地接受美国圣克拉拉硅谷历史协会(Santa Clara Valley Historical Association)采访时所说。你可以点击此处观看YouTube网站发布的有关那次采访的整段视频。那次采访中的其他乔氏名言同样深刻:“在你长大之后,别人往往会告诉你世界就是这个样子。而你的一生就是过好自己的日子,别老是不自量力地白费力气……这种生活非常狭隘。一个简单的事实是,你身边被你称为‘生活’的一切事物,都是由那些并不比你聪明的人所造就。而你可以改变生活,影响生活,造就其他人可以使用的你自己的东西。一旦你发现了这个事实,生活会变得更为宽广……有人认为,人生有命,你只需按照命运的安排过日子就可以了,不需要留下自己的印记。你必须抛掉这种错误的观念。一旦你认识到这点,你就会改头换面。”别只是过日子,而是要创造生活。
5.I would rather gamble on our vision than make a „me, too‟ product.5.我宁愿在我们的愿景上冒险,也不愿制造“跟风”产品。
Steve Jobs believed in dreaming big.In the 1970s personal computers were relegated to the hobbyist market.Jobs had the vision of „putting a computer in the hands of everyday people.‟ He once said that Xerox could have dominated the entire computer industry because Xerox scientists in Palo Alto‟s PARC research facility were developing the first graphical user interface.Jobs said Xerox failed because its “vision” was limited to making another copy machine.Never underestimate the power of a bold vision to move your career and the world forward.乔布斯认为梦想一定要远大。在1970年代,个人电脑被归类至发烧友市场。乔布斯当时秉持的愿景就是“将电脑带至普遍人手中”。他曾说过,施乐(Xerox)原本可以在整个电脑行业中占据主导地位,因为施乐帕洛阿尔托研究中心(PARC)的科学家们开发了第一个图形用户界面。乔布斯认为,施乐之所以失败,是因为该公司的“愿景”仅限于制造另一款复印机。永远不要低估一个大胆的愿景能够推进你的事业乃至整个世界的力量。6.We‟ve got to make the small things unforgettable.6.我们必须让小事也令人难忘。
The devil‟s in the details and few people were more obsessed with details than Jobs.We‟ve all heard stories of Jobs driving his engineers crazy because he didn‟t like the aesthetic of something inside the computer that nobody would ever see.Everything mattered.I recall visiting a cardboard box manufacturing facility in Modesto, California, to prepare for a keynote speech to industry executives.This company made boxes for Apple products.One factory manager said out of the thousands of brands they made boxes for, none were more particular than Apple.Steve Jobs demanded that the details of the box, the tactile design, had to be just right.The edges had to look and even feel a certain way.When customers opened an iPhone box, it had to set the tone for the experience.Far too many people and businesses overlook the details and the customer experience with the brand inevitably suffers.Details matter.关键在于细节,很少有人会比乔布斯更加痴迷于细节。我们都曾听过,他因为不喜欢电脑内部某个没人会看到的部件的美观程度,而逼得工程师们发疯的故事。一切细节都是重要的。我记得自己为了给行业高管准备一场主题演讲,曾经访问过位于加州莫德斯托(Modesto)的一家纸板箱制造厂。该公司负责为苹果产品制造包装用的纸板箱。一位经理说,在他们负责的数千个品牌中,最挑剔的莫过于苹果公司。乔布斯要求产品包装盒的所有细节和触感设计都必须分毫不差。包装盒边缘的外观甚至触感,都必须符合一定的要求。当客户打开iPhone包装盒时,包装盒必须为用户体验定下基调。太多的人、太多的企业忽视各种细节和用户体验,结果他们的品牌不可避免地受到不利影响。细节很重要。
7.Here‟s to the crazy ones.The misfits.The rebels.The trouble-makers.The round pegs in the square holes.The ones who see things differently…they change things.They push the human race forward.And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.7.向那些‘疯子’致敬,他们特立独行、桀骜不驯、惹是生非,与周围环境格格不入。他们看待世界的方式与众不同……他们改变事物,推动人类的前进。或许有些人认为他们疯狂,但我们把他们视为天才。
Jobs once said that what made the Macintosh great was the fact that the people he chose to work on the system were “musicians, and poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians who also happened to be computer scientists.” It‟s a profound insight that speaks to building creative teams.Today it‟s common for many companies to overlook creative individuals because they don‟t fit in a hiring box.Jobs didn‟t just think differently;he hired differently.See genius in diversity.Hire outside your industry from time to time.乔布斯曾说,Macintosh之所以成为伟大的产品,是由于他选择负责开发这款产品的人是“一些音乐家、诗人、艺术家、动物学家、历史学家,而且他们恰好也都是计算机科学家”。这个意义深远的见解充分说明了该如何组建富有创造力的团队。如今,许多公司通常会忽略那些有创造力的个人,原因在于这些人不符合招聘要求。乔布斯并不只是在思考问题时“非同凡想”,在招聘方面也与众不同。他能看到多种多样的天才。应当不时招聘行业之外的人士。
8.You‟ve got to have a problem that you want to solve;a wrong that you want to right.8.你必须要有一个自己想解决的问题,一个自己想纠正的错误。
I considered Steve Jobs one of the world‟s greatest corporate presenters because he always explained the problem that his product would solve.The introduction of iTunes Music Store in 2003 is perhaps the best example of this approach.In one presentation Steve Jobs turned around public opinion, convincing customers that it was in their best interest to pay for something(songs)that they could otherwise get for free at the time.In this video clip you can watch Jobs demonstrate the “upsides and downsides” of the status quo, followed by his “solution, ” the 99 cent song on the iTunes Music Store.Your audience needs to understand the problem your idea solves.Don‟t leave them guessing.Explain it clearly.我认为乔布斯是世界上最伟大的企业演示者之一,因为他每次都会解释自己研制的产品可以解决的问题。2003年苹果iTunes音乐商店的发布会或许是这种方式的最佳例证。通过一次演示,乔布斯就转变了公众的看法,让客户相信付费享用当时可以免费获得的某些事物(歌曲)符合他们的最佳利益。在这段视频中,你可以看到乔布斯阐述了行业现状中存在的“各种有利和不利方面”,然后提出自己的“解决方案”——iTunes音乐商店每支歌曲收取99美分的费用。你的听众需要了解你的构想所能解决的问题。别让他们凭空猜测。要给予明确的解释。
9.It [what you choose to do] has got to be something that you‟re passionate about because otherwise you won‟t have the perseverance to see it through.9.你选择从事的工作必须是你自己为之充满激情的工作,否则的话你不会拥有坚持到底的毅力。
Steve Jobs believed that passion was a critical component of success.He talked about the role of passion constantly, so it‟s no surprise that this quote would appear in „Jobs‟, the film.The 2005 Steve Jobs commencement address at Stanford University has been viewed millions of times and it‟s the event where his thoughts on passion are most clearly articulated.Jobs told the graduates that day, “You‟ve got to find what you love… Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven‟t found it yet, keep looking.Don‟t settle.As with all matters of the heart, you‟ll know when you find it.” This could very well be the greatest piece of career advice ever given, with the exception of #10.乔布斯认为,激情是成功的一个关键要素。他时常谈及激情可以发挥的作用,因此影片《乔布斯》中会出现这句乔氏名言一点也不奇怪。乔布斯2005年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的这段演讲已被浏览了数百万次,他在那次演讲中最为清晰地阐述了自己对于激情的看法。那天,乔布斯告诉台下的毕业生们:“你必须找到自己热爱的东西……你的工作将占据你的大部分生活,而真正能让自己满足的唯一办法就是做你自己认为伟大的工作。而做伟大的工作的唯一途径,就是热爱自己所从事的工作。如果你还没找到自己喜欢做的事情,请继续寻找。绝不要放弃。投入你的全部身心去寻找,当你找到的时候就会知道。”除了下面第十句乔氏名言之外,这很可能是有史以来最好的职业建议。
10.In your life you only get to do so many things and right now we‟ve chosen to do this, so let‟s make it great.10.在你的一生当中,你要做的事情很多,而现在我们选择了做这一件,那么就让我们把它做到伟大的地步吧。
This quote is the best advice Jobs ever gave to Disney‟s Chief Creative Officer, John Lasseter.Well before he became Disney‟s chief animator, Lasseter recalls his first meeting with Steve Jobs after Jobs bought Pixar in 1986.Lasseter was working on a short film at the time and, at the end of the meeting, Lasseter says Steve Jobs asked him to do one thing: “Make it great.” The short, Tin Toy, went on to win the first academy award ever given for computer animation and set the foundation for what later would become Toy Story.Lasseter has told the story publicly a few times, most recently in this emotional tribute at Disney‟s D23 Expo(the story begins at 8:30).Lasseter said those three words—make it great—have applied to every frame of every Pixar movie he worked on.这句话是乔布斯给予迪士尼首席创意官约翰·拉塞特(John Lasseter)的最佳建议。拉塞特回忆说,早在自己成为迪士尼首席动画师之前,他在乔布斯于1986年收购皮克斯动画工作室(Pixar)后与乔布斯第一次会面。拉塞特当时正在制作一部动画短片。拉塞特说,在那次会面结束时,乔布斯让他做一件事情:“造就经典。”这部动画短片《Tin Toy》(Tin Toy)后来赢得了有史以来第一个颁给电脑动画片的奥斯卡奖,并且为后来的动画片《玩具总动员》(Toy Story)奠定了基础。拉塞特已数次公开讲述这个故事,最近一次是在迪士尼全球粉丝博览会(D23 Expo)上,他深情地发表了一段悼念乔布斯的讲话(这个故事从视频的8分30秒开始)。拉塞特说,他把乔布斯教导的“造就经典”这句话运用在自己制作的每部皮克斯动画片的每一帧画面上。
Is everything you do as great as it could be? This could very well be the most important question you ask yourself as a leader.Your customers deserve nothing less.Don‟t just make it;make it great.你做的所有事情是否都达到了它可能达到的卓越程度?这很可能是你作为领导者扪心自问的最重要问题。你的客户应该得到最好的产品或服务。不要只是做事情,你要造就经典。

第十三讲 阅读理解如何不看文章答题
英语测试中阅读理解部分是最让考生紧张而又担心的部分。它量大,难度较高。因此,阅读理解题发挥如何决定着考生得分的高低。许多考生在做阅读理解部分时,最大感受就是时间紧、答案选项迷惑性大,因而很难及时而又准确地选出答案。如何在没有足够时间进行深入阅读或文章太难而看不懂的情况下进行答题,我们在总结、归纳历年四、六级真题特点是基础上,向考生介绍一些紧急情况下的应试技巧。
一、阅读理解题答案项特征
通过研究历届四、六级阅读理解题,我们发现,在所列出的四个选项中,也有一些普遍性规律可循。如果考生了解、熟悉并掌握了这些规律,他(她)们就可以找到做题时的“第六感觉”,达到所谓超常发挥的水平。如果考生来不及看文章,万般无奈下凭这些规律可以选中不少正确选项。
(一)答案项中有绝对语气词的一般不是正确答案项。这些语气词有: must, always, never, the most, all, only, have to, any, no, very,completely, none, hardly等。
例(1)One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that _____.(1995年6月六级题22)
A.the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant.B.people's traditional concepts about work no longer hold true.C.most people have to take part-time jobs.D.people have to change their jobs from time to time.(分析:四个选项中,C、D两项中都含有“have to”,语气太绝对化,一般被排除。考生在剩下两项中进行选择,就大大降低了难度。)
例(2)The main idea of this passage is that _____.(1991年6月六级题40)A.better use of green space facilities should be made so as to
improve the quality of our life.B.attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities.C.the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago.D.priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities.(分析:B、D两项中均有must be,语气太绝对化,故一般被排除。考生结合短文内容在剩下两项中进行选择,命中率就极高了。)
(二)选项中含有不十分肯定的语气词一般是正确答案项。这些语气词有: can, could, may, should, usually, might, most(大多数),more or less, relatively, be likely to, possible, whether or, not necessarily 等。
例(1)It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes.(1999年6月四级题30)
A.Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B.in many countries success often depends on one's social status C.American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
D.businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America
(分析:选项B中often 一词,语气委婉,不十分肯定,故为答案。而其它三项中所表达出的语气都明显绝对化。)
例(2)According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that ——.A.society can't provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates
B.high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education?
C.too many students have to earn their own living
D.college administrators encourage students to drop out
(分析:答案项C中有have to, 语气太绝对化,故被排除。而A项中can't 的语气则不十分绝对化,故为答案。)
(三)选项中照抄原文的一般不是答案项,而同义替换的一般是选项。
例(1)According to Dr.David, Americans.(1993年6月六级题32)A.are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B.often neglect the unsequences of sleep deficit C.do not know how to relax themselves properly D.can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep
(分析:答案项中A、D两项基本上是原文中句子的原现,故被排除。B项中有often 一词,语气委婉,不十肯定,故为答案。)
例(2)According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(1996年1月六级题35)
A.Future man will be made of silicon instead of flesh and blood
B.Some day it will be difficult to tell a computer from a man
C.The reasoning power of computers has already surpassed that of man D.Future intelligent life may not necessarily be made of organic
matter.(分析:A项句子基本上是原文词句,C项中有already一词,语气太绝对化,故A、C两项被排除。剩下B、D两项,而D项中有不十分肯定语气词may not,故选D。)
(四)较全面、有针对性地表达文章中心思想的,选项一般是答案项。
例(1)which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?(1996年1月六级题25)
A.Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be
replaced by computers.B.Music can't be passed on to future generations unless it's recorded.C.Folk songs can't be spread for unless they are printed on music sheet.D.the development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.(分析:根据短文内容可以看出,A、B、C三项的内容都只是从某一个方面阐述了一种观点,而D项句子所表达的意思就较全面,高度囊括了全篇短文的主旨。)
例(2)The first paragraph is mainly about.(1991年6月六级题22)A.the teenagers' criticism of their parents
B.misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents C.the dominance of the parents over their children D.the teenagers' ability to deal with crisis
(分析:短文意思是讲年青人有时批评、责备其父母,认为父母对他们间误解负大部分责任是自然的事。而B项意思是年青人和父母间的误解;C项意思是父母对他们孩子的统治;D项指年轻人处理危机的能力。根据短文内容,可以明确看出,B、C、D三项内容都是从三个方面来论述短文观点的,而A项则较全面地、有针对性地表达了文章的中心意思,故为答案。)
(五)选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的(字面意思)一般不是答案项,而概括性的、抽象的、含义深刻的是答案项。
例(1)The population in the 21st century, according to the writer.A.will be smaller than a few years ago B.will not be as small as people expect C.will prove to be a threat to the world
D.will not constitute as serious a problem as expected
(分析:选项A、B中都有small一词,该词在文中出现过,因而总觉肤浅,是字面之意。C项明显与文章不符,而D项表达的意义比small要深刻得多。)
例(2)From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one.(1990年1月六级题)
A.to be more successful in his career
B.to solve technical problems
C.to be more specialized in his field D.to develop his professional skill
(分析:题意是“从文中看出员工素质有助于人们...。” B项题即“解决技术问题”;C项意即“深化专业”;D项“发展职业技能”。这三项表达的意思都比较具体,而A项则概括地有深度,包括了B、C、D三项内容。)
(六)选项中较符合常识的,易明白的一般不是选项;而似乎不太合理,一时较难理解的往往是正确选项。
例(1)Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by.(1999年1月四级题31)A.stressing their high quality
B.unlinking him of their low price
C.maintaining a balance between quality and price D.appealing to his buying motives
(分析:题干问的是“广告会通过什么办法能劝说顾客买那些没用的产品?”A项意思是通过强调质量,B项意思是使顾客意识到其产品价格低,C项意思是既考虑到质量又考虑到价格。这三项所表达的意思都是我们在看广告时能感受到的,生活中天天见到。故这样的选项一般不是答案。而D项意思是迎合了顾客购物心理,乍一看还不太明白,不好理解。而这样的选项往往是正确答案。)
例(2)Raising children, in the author's opinion, is.(1998年6月四级题32)A.a moral duty
B.a thankless job C.a rewarding task
D.a source of inevitable pain
(分析:题目问的是,“依作者观点,抚养孩子是 ”。依据我们日常生活所闻所见,抚养孩子就是A.“一种道德责任” B.“不求回报的工作”。我们都觉得抚养孩子是人生义务,是天经地 义的。这两项太熟悉了,因而一般不是答案。而C项“求回报的事”,似乎不太合人情味、合乎常识。但这样的选项就是答案。D项有inevitable 一词,语气太绝对化,故排除掉。)此外,在作者态度题中,象中立态度(neutral)一般不是选项,既有肯定、赞扬性、褒义的(如positive等),又有否定、批评、贬义的如(critical, neglect等)。一般否定性、贬义的是正确选项。如果没有肯定性、赞扬性选项,则批语性、否定性为正确选项,其它的为干扰项。在四个选项中,忽然有一个选项特别长或特别短,则此选项往往是正确选项。在两个选项中,如果除个别字外,其他部分完全一样,其中往往有一个是正确选项。“None of the above”往往是用作干扰项。而尤为请考生注意的是,新闻记者理解四个选项中,正确答案项为D的频繁比较高,其次为B项
