1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩，
2)考生可能带来的副作用，
3)我对考试的看法。
1.In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. 2.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.
3.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.
4. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
5.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.
6.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

Long Conversation One
W: Hey, Bob, guess what? I’m going to visit Quebec next summer. I’m invited to go to a friend’s wedding, but while I’m there, I’d also like to do some sightseeing.
M: That’s nice, Sherry. But do you mean the province of Quebec or Quebec City?
W: I mean the province. My friend’s wedding is in Montreal, so I’m going there first. I’ll stay for 5 days. Is Montreal the capital city of the province?
M: Well, many people think so because it’s the biggest city, but it’s not the capital. Quebec City is, but Montreal is great. The Santa Lawrence River runs right through the middle of the city. It’s beautiful in summer.
W: Wow, and do you think I can get by in English? My French is okay, but not that good. I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English?
M: Well, people speak both French and English there, but you’ll hear French most of the time and all the street signs are in French. In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So you’d better practice your French before you go.
W: Good advice, what about Quebec City? I’ll visit a friend from college who lives there now. What’s it like?
M: It’s a beautiful city, very old. Many old buildings have been nicely restored. Some of them were built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You’ll love it there.
W: Fantastic, I can’t wait to go.①①

Long Conversation Two
M: Hi, Ms. Rowling. How old were you when you started to write, and what was your first book?
W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a small animal, a rabbit I mean, and I've been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author?
W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.
M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?
W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I'm writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the idea that grabs me next!
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: I've no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out, it would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain which makes me think ab
