Simon: Many people like to eat pizza, but do you know how to make it? Today on
“You Can Cook!” you can learn how to make delicious pizza. It’s easy. It’s fun. You can do it.
To get started, check the list of ingredients: You need water, sugar, yeast,
olive oil, flour and salt. Now, first, you need to make the dough. To make it,
you just mix everything together. Then, you have to cover the dough and wait one and a half hours.
Now, the second step is the fun part. You make the dough into a big round circle. You push it and pull it and stretch it into a circle. The next step is the sauce. You spread some pizza sauce, some tomato sauce, onto
the dough. Not a lot of sauce. Too much sauce and the dough gets too wet. Then
you add cheese. Mozzarella cheese is good. Two cups of cheese is about right.
Sprinkle it on top.
Now you are ready to add the toppings. You can use slices of sausage, diced
onion, pieces of green pepper, chopped mushrooms, shrimp, strips of
chicken…whatever you like. Next, you bak e it for about 20 minutes.

大学生英语自主学习论文(共3篇) 第一篇:英语阅读网络自主学习 一、调查结果及分析 (一)大学生网络应用情况调查结果显示,98%的学生网龄都在一年 以上。76%的学生上网频繁,100%的大学生都上网。并且大学生的网上 活动具有多样化的特点。其中85%的学生上网是为了休闲放松(包括社交、购物、游戏),其余15%的学生实行学习方面的活动。不过只有15.15%的学生通过网络实行英语阅读的学习。综合来讲,虽然大学生 对网络的利用率较高,但利用其实行学习的积极性却不高,究其原因 可能有以下几点:一方面,大学生普遍对英语阅读学习不感兴趣,可 能是自身基础方面的原因,在不需要为了高考而学习的情况下,逐渐 降低了对提升自身英语水平的要求,所以学习积极性不高。另一方面,网络中娱乐休闲方面资源丰富。网络本身所具有的强大的娱乐休闲功能,致使学生们在无人监督的情况下,趋向于休闲娱乐,而不是实行 学习方面的活动。 (二)大学生英语阅读网络自主学习情况为了解大学生英语阅读网络 自主学习的基本情况,我们对大学生英语阅读的兴趣、动机、频率、 水平等方面实行调查。调查结果显示绝大多数学生一直实行对英语阅 读的学习且依赖于纸质阅读。这个现象说明多数学生还是希望为提升 自己的英语阅读水平而努力,对英语阅读的学习有主动的意识。在对 学生学习动机的调查中,我们发现58.25%的学生依然是以应付考试为 目的实行英语阅读的学习,只有少数学生是出于兴趣以及为了满足自 己的求知欲而实行的学习。这个现象在一定水准上说明:当前大学生 普遍对英语阅读网络自主学习缺乏兴趣,在平时的社会生活中意识不 到英语这个语言的重要性,所以学习英语的能动性不高。另一方面则 说明了大学生们的自主学习水平较弱,自主学习意识薄弱。另外,38% 的学生表示自己的英语阅读水平与高中相比并未提升,另有超过一半 的学生表示自己的英语阅读水平一般。造成这个现象的原因可能有以
本文节选自Iron John: A Book About Men Iron John: A Book About Men by Robert Bly. Copyright 1994, 2004 by Robert Bly We talk a great deal about "the American man," as if there were some constant quality that remained stable over decades, or even within a single decade. The men who live today have veered far away from the Saturnian, old-man-minded farmer, proud of his introversion, who arrived in New England in 1630, willing to sit through three services in an unheated church. In the South, an expansive, motherbound cavalier developed, and neither of these two "American men" resembled the greedy railroad entrepreneur that later developed in the Northeast, nor the reckless I-will-do-without culture settlers of the West. 【这一段里作者提到哪几种美国人?他提这些的目的是什么?】 Even in our own era the agreed-on model has changed dramatically. During the fifties, for example, an American character appeared with some consistency that became a model of manhood adopted by many men: the Fifties male. He got to work early, labored responsibly, supported his wife and children, and admired discipline. Reagan is a sort of mummified version of this dogged type. This sort of man didn't see women's souls well, but he appreciated their bodies; and his view of culture and America's part in it was boyish and optimistic. Many of his qualities were strong and positive, but underneath the charm and bluff there was, and there remains, much isolation, deprivation, and passivity. Unless he has an enemy, he isn't sure that he is alive. The Fifties man was supposed to like football, be aggressive, stick up for the United States, never cry, and always provide. But receptive space or intimate space was missing in this image of a man. The personality lacked some sense of flow. The psyche lacked compassion in a way that encouraged the unbalanced pursuit of the Vietnam war, just as, later, the lack of what we might call "garden" space inside Reagan's head led to his callousness and brutality toward the powerless in El Salvador【查工具书:是怎么回事?】, toward old people here, the unemployed, schoolchildren, and poor people in general. 【Fifties Male有什么特点?】 The Fifties male had a clear vision of what a man was, and what male

大学英语三级B级-阅读理解(三) (总分:25.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、单项选择题(总题数:5,分数:25.00) Task 6 The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it. (分数:5.00) (1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?(分数:1.00) A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. √ B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution. C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings. · D.Because people knew little about the danger of noise before. 解析:细节判断题。第二段第三、四句话解释了原因:和平安静的地方很难找到,噪音对人类是一种威胁,人们应认真对待。 (2).What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?(分数:1.00) A.We may forget what we have thought about. B.Our thoughts may be interfered. C.Our mind may be harmed. √ D.We may have difficulty using the right words. 解析:细节辨认题。从文中第三段的If we don’t,we may have headaches,other aches and pains,or even worse mental problems.这句话可知:如果我们听不到自己的声音,可能会产生头痛、其他疼痛,甚至会出现更糟糕的大脑问题。 ` (3).When the writer says we cannot return to the "good old days", he means that ______(分数:1.00) A.our society is becoming much worse than before B.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life √ C.the old days were much happier than the present D.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before______ 解析:推理题。从文章最后一段可知B是正确的。 (4).From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that(分数:1.00) A.we can put noise under control if our measures are effective @

If with the oncoming darkness of the 3rd night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?
