PART I DICTATION
Think Positively and Feel Positively
Are you confident or insecure in a difficult situation? Do you react positively or negatively?
The answer may depend in part on whom you are around.
A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases. For example, the
researchers studied 103 college roommates. They measured each roommate’s tendency towards negative thinking. It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious. Students with a negative
thinking roommate became more depressed themselves and students with more positive thinking
roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.

参考范文
When it comes to whether parents should take their children to spend holidays during
term-time, views on the issue vary from person to person. Parents claim that by doing so, they can
save a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officials strongly oppose this
tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy, which in turn damages a child’s
education.
From my perspective, the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits.
To begin with, taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal
teaching process, one of the key elements to guarantee kid’s academic performance. As we know,
currently, teachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each
child, which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. By
definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, th teachers can rarely be pestered by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to save
money, which severe ly disrupts teaching process. What ‘s more, without strict penalties imposed
on the parents who lead to their kid’s playing truant, those parents can gradually view asking for
holiday leave as a right. Once this cultural expectation is formed, the level of truancy will
dramatically increase.
Accordingly, the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this
way, teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving
money at the expense of sacrificing their kid’s education.

In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number on unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people leaving on less than 2 dollars per day in the past 3 years. The Director-General of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis. However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes 4-5 years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labour Organization is proposing a global job agreement to deal with unemployment. “It's key objective is to place the center of recovery efforts, measures will generate higher levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.” 1、What is the news report main about? 2、What does Juan Somavia, Director-General of the International Labour Organization say?

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析
2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析 【完形填空原文】 Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally? In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it. Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement. 【语法题真题及解析】 51.
