26、How to take notes
Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. 【1】 Adults (成年人) need to take notes in meetings or training courses for work. So here are some ways to help you develop this important skill.
♦ Begin with the date and the topic of the class. This may seem obvious, but it’s easy to forget. 【2】
♦ Focus on the most important points. Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only make you angry. 【3】
♦ If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you may not need to copy the slides. Ask if the PowerPoint will be available afterward. If so, you can focus on writing the things the speaker says instead. Or you can take a picture with a phone. 【4】 If so, print it out so you can write notes on it.
♦ 【5】 This will give you the chance to add any information that you didn’t write down. It’s best to do this as soon as possible, so that you don’t forget anything. This review will also increase your chances of remembering what you wrote.
Note-taking is a useful skill, so it’s important to practice doing it well.
A.Also, the PowerPoint may be available before the class or meeting.
B.Look over your notes again after taking them.
C.It will help you keep your notes organized.
D.Try your best to write down what you want to remember.
E.But the skill of note-taking isn’t only used in school.
F.Consider different note-taking skills.
G.Instead, listen for the key ideas the person wants to communicate.
27、As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease — especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”. In this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health, they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
【1】Today’s medical care is placing more stress on ________.
A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B.monitoring patients’ body functions
C.removing people’s bad living habits
D.ensuring people’s psychological well-being
【2】According to the passage, the true meaning of the underlined word “wellness” is for people ________.
A.to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B.to strive to maintain the best possible health
C.to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D.to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
【3】According to what the author advocates (主张), which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?
A.People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B.People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C.People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D.People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.
28、Ketchup (番茄酱) is a magical little dressing. It has a sweet and salty bite and makes just about any food more appetizing. 【1】 So how did ketchup become best friends with French fries? Let’s start at the beginning.
【2】In fact, the first ketchup recipe did not include tomatoes! Instead the Chinese made it from salted fish. Doesn’t sound as appetizing as today’s dip, does it?【3】 In the 1900s it started making its way to everyone s dinner tables and refrigerators when the Heinz family bottled and sold it. Ketchup underwent another makeover in the 1970s with the rise of high-fructose corn syrup (高果糖玉米糖浆).
America’s favorite way to eat vegetables originated not in France as the name suggests, but in Belgium. When French fries made their way onto the scene in Europe in the early 1800s, ketchup, as we now know it, had not been invented yet. Americans accepted the side dish in the 1930s and enjoyed them fried in beef fat. 【4】 There are reports of early adopters dipping their fries in ketchup from as early as the late 1800s, but the trend didn’t take off in America until the 1940s. As the popularity of fast food restaurants grew, so did the desire to dip our fries in that tasty red sauce. Fast food restaurants started serving French fries with ketchup. 【5】
A.You can even clean with it!
B.We have been hooked since.
C.They didn’t find ketchup delicious at all.
D.Then French fries were invented to go with ketchup.
E.In their birthplace, fries are served with salad dressing.
F.Red, tomato-based ketchup didn’t appear until much later.
G.Ketchup has been around for centuries but in a completely different form.
