A POWERFUL INFLUENCE There can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly [106]....doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are curious to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be [107]....for their children. Should parents be worried if their children are spending that much time [108]....their computers? Obviously, if the children are bent over their computers for hours, [109]....in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should [110]....of the Internet, and the child should give his or her [111]....that it won't interfere with homework. If the child is not [112]....to this arrangement, parents can take more drastic [113].....Dealing with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from [114]....any other sort of bargain about behavior. Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behavior should make an appointment to [115]....the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not [116]....affect a child's performance at school. Even if the child is [117]....crazy about using the Internet, he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about! 106.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE? If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos. If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material. However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are doing. 118. Which of the following is probably NOT preferred by a visual learner? A. reading aloud B. sources with illustrations C. sources with videos D. making notes 119. What does the word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to? A. the lecture B. the new word C. the note D. the written word 120. The word “visual” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to..... A. picturesque B. written C. illustrative D. seeable 121. Which of the following statement is TRUE? A. Auditory learners hate taking notes. B. Auditory learners prefer listening to speaking. C. Most people are auditory learners. D. When learning something by heart, an auditory learner prefers reading it out loud. 122. The word "auditory” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by..... A. discussive B. noisy C. audible D. recordable Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE STUDENT Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline. There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you will become an effective student. Targets Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend. This kind of detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment. It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan. This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail! Rewards Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a favorite piece of music after one hour's study, Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself. Timing Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e. when it is quiet and when you are most'alert. Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day. If you plan to start work at a certain time, say 7 pm, do not find reasons to put off getting started. You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent! Quantity A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so daunting, in fact, that it can be difficult to sit down and make a start. Break the larger task down into several smaller ones. For example, make a list of questions that you will have to deal with in your essay, and then approach each question separately. This makes the work more manageable. Notes and Learning styles The books you are studying won't always present information in a way that suits your learning style. It is, therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and organizing them in a way that suits you best. It is also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat and well-organized. This will make it much easier to retrieve information later. Revision Don't leave revision until the last moment. When you set your study targets, allow regular revision time. This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam. 123. How does the writer think you can develop good study habits? A. By setting a realistic work target B. By planning and considering your learning style C. By revising your work on a regular basis D. By taking into account six important areas 124. Why is it a good idea to tell other people about your work plan? A. They can help you develop a detailed target. B. They will be very helpful with your plan. C. They will know if you do not stick to your plan, which motivates you to reach the target. D. They will know how to help you avoid failing. 125. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “vague” in paragraph 2? A. unrealistic B. inefficient C. unclear D. impractical 126. Timing includes all of the following EXCEPT..... A. you must be able to think clearly at the chosen time to study B. the best time to study is 7 p.m C. the time to study should be made a routine D. don't delay getting started 127. How can a complicated piece of work be made easier? A. Try to sit down and make a start anyway. B. Make a list of questions beforehand. C. Divide the large task into manageable smaller segments. D.
