College Life in the United States


Instructors at American colleges and universities have many different teaching
methods. Some instructors give assignments every day. They grade homework.
Students in their classes have to take many quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final
exam. Other instructors give only assignments. Some teachers always follow a
course outline and usually use textbook. Others send students to the library for
assignments.
The atmosphere in some classrooms is very formal. Students call their instructor
Professor Smith, Mrs. Jones, and so on. Some teachers wear business clothes
and give lectures. Other classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and
lectures discuss their ideas. Instructors dress informally, and students call them by
they first name. American teachers are not alike in their teaching styles.
At American colleges and universities, libraries and learning centers are available
to the students. They can often use typewriter, tape recorders, video machines, and
computers. They can buy books, notebooks, and other thing at campus stores.
There are also services available to the students. They can get advice on their
problems from counselors and individual help with their classes from tutors. In
addition to facilities and services for study, colleges and universities usually offer
facilities for recreation. Some schools have swimming pools and tennis courts.
Most have snack bars or cafetarias. (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn, 1985)

How can I get to the Post office?


I have a special rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.
Sometimes I get lost, but I usually have a good time. I can practice a new language,
meet new people, and learn new customs. And I find out about different styles of
directions every time I ask, How can I get to the post office?
Foreign tourist often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have
names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of their street
names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, Go straight down to the
corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across
from the bus stop.
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many
landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there is
no town or buildings within miles. Instead of landmark, people will tell you
directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for instance, people will say, Go north
two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.
People in Los Angles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure
distance in Los Angles in time, not miles. How far away is the post office? you
ask. Oh, they answer, its about five minutes from here. You say, Yes, but how
many miles away is it? They dont know.

6
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists
seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, Follow
me. Then he will lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your questions. What happens in
this situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan,
Mexico no one answers, I dont know. People in Yucatan believe that I dont
know is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get
very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere- in Japan, the United States, Greece, Mexico, or
any other place. You might not understand the persons body language: Go in that
direction, and you may find the post office! (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn,
1985)

Women in the Nuclear Family


The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live
together; in other words, they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more
brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But
family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of
only one father, one mother and children; it is becoming the main family structure
everywhere.
The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom
from their relatives, and husband does not have all the power of the family. Family
structure in most part of the world is still patriarchal; that is the father is the
head of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show,
however, that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number
of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer
to share the power.
But wives usually have to pay for the benefits of freedom and power. When
women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped one
another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family
group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this
benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too; women generally live longer than
their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone.

11

Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than mean are.
In the past, mean worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework
and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of
course this situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and have
more freedom than they did in the past. Why, then, are some women still
discontent?
In most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more
money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more,
because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two
full-time jobs- one outside the home and another inside- and not much free time.
The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future.
Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and family
forms of the past had had many advantages. (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn,
1985)

Untitled
Most children have achieved remarkably sophisticated language capabilities by the
age of three. Their vocabularies have reached about 1000 words, and they can use
as many as five of those words in a single sentence. They make up new words, too.
They can speak about the past and future as well as the present. They understand
that some words have more than one meaning. They can duck when a ball is
coming or see a duck on lake. They have began to use negatives (Thats not mine)
and helping verbs (I can do it myself).
Over the next two years, their vocabulary will more than double. They will begin to
play with words, to repeat silly sounds, to try out toilet words or even swear
words, just to elicit an adults reaction. Newly aware of the power of words, they
will begin to argue, and they will start to tell jokes.
This language play carries on a process of experimentation that began when child
was an infant, first encountering language. At one time, experts thought children
learned language simply by imitating adults. Nowadays, most linguists agree that
children learn primarily by experimenting- by listening and thinking about what
they hear, by making their own sounds, and then by observing the way others react.
Language comes first as a great garble of sound. Slowly, children learn to hear
individual sound patterns, or words. They try out sounds. For example babies

16
babble da da and from adults responses (yes, thats daddy), learn which sounds
enable them to communicate effectively. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin
Lougheed, 1992)

Advertising: The Selling of a Product


A consumer walks into a store. He stands in front of hundreds of foxes of laundry
detergent. He chooses one brand, pays for it, and leaves. Why does he pick that
specific kind of soap? Is it truly better than the others? Probably not. These days,
many products are nearly identical to each other in quality and price. If products
are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another?
Although we might not like to admit it, commercials on television and
advertisements in magazines probably influence us much more than we think they
do.
Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It
gives us information about everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers
and cars. But there is one serious problem with this. The information is actually
very often misinformation. It tells us the products benefits but hides their
disadvantages. Advertisings not only lead us to buy things that we dont need and
cant afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality. Zoom toothpaste prevents
cavities and give you white teeth! the advertisement tells us. But it does not tell us
the complete truth: that a healthy diet and a good toothbrush will have the same
effect.
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most
successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect

21
lives. Advertisements show us who we arent and what we dont have. Our teeth are
not white enough. Our hair isnt shiny enough. Our clothes arent clean enough.
Advertisements make us afraid that people wont like us if we dont use the
advertised products. Why dont I have any dates? a good-looking girl sadly asks in
commercial. Here replies her roommate, try Zoom toothpaste! Of course she
tries it, and immediately the whole football team falls in love with her. Thats a
stupid commercial, we might say. But we still buy Zoom toothpaste out of fear of
being unpopular and having no friends.
If fear is the negative motive for buying product, then wanting a good self-image is
the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of
person we would like to be. For example, a modern young woman might like to
think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middleage man might want to
see himself a strong, attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific
ads to make certain groups of people choose their product. Two people may choose
different brand of toothpaste with the identical price, amount, and quality; each
person believes that he is expressing his personality by choosing that brand. (Taken
from INTERACTIONS, Kirn, 1985)

Television: How it Affects Us


How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully
choose the shows that they watch. Television can increase our knowledge of the
outside world; there are high-quality programs that help us understand many fields
of study: science, medicine, the arts, and so on. Moreover, television benefits very
old people who cant often leave the house, as well as patient in the hospitals. It
also offers non-native speakers the advantage of daily informal language practice;
they can increase their vocabulary and practice listening.
On the other hand there are several serious disadvantages to television. Of course,
it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some
countries, people watch the boob tube for an average of six hours of more a day.
Many children stare at a t.v. screen for more hours each day than they do anything
else, including studying and sleeping. Its clear that the tube has a powerful
influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative.
Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of t.v., a persons brain relaxes
the same that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television
on the human brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Chidden who view
a lot t.v. can often concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes; they
can pay attention only for amount of time between commercials.

27
Another disadvantage is that t.v. often causes people to become dissatisfied with
their own lives. Real life does not seem as exciting to these people as the lives of
actors on the screen. To many people, t.v. becomes more real than reality, and their
own lives seem boring. Also many people get upset or depressed when they cannot
solve the problems in real life as quickly as t.v. actors seem to. On the screen, actors
solve the problems in a half-hour program or thirty-second commercial.
Before a child is fourteen years old, he or she views eleven thousand murders on
the tube he or she begins to believe that there is nothing strange about fights,
killing, and other kinds of violence. Many studies show that people become more
violence after certain programs. They may even do the things that they saw in a
violent show. An example is the effect of the movie The Deer Hunter. After it
appeared on t.v. in the United States, twenty-nine people tried to kill themselves a
way similar to an event in the film.
The most negative effect of boob tube might be peoples addiction to it. People
often feel a strange and powerful need to watch t.v. even when they dont enjoy it.

What will we expect from computers in the near future?


Trends in hardware development are helping students with disabilities gain greater
independence and integration into society. Speech recognition systems, electronic
communications, personal computers, robots, and artificial intelligence are making
a difference. The movement towards miniaturization, use of lighter materials, and
high-capacity information processing are making devices more transparent.
Devices such as wrist-watch computers will provide students with unobtrusive
support. Peripheral devices are becoming more adaptable to multimodalities.
Computers that are activated by voice and have synthesized speech are assisting
students who are physically handicapped, blind, and at risk. Captions and
enhanced narration of TV programs are also helping students who have physical
and language disabilities. Distance education, telecommunications, expert systems,
and artificial intelligence are projected to become more prevalent and especially
valuable to the special education populace. (Taken from Computers in Education
by Merrill, at al.)

Who named the Apple computer?


One of the best-known success stories associated with the advent of the
microcomputer is that of Steven Jobs. As a student at Homestead High School in
Los Altos (California) during the early 1970s, he attended lecturers at HewlettPackard, driven by his fascination with technology. After creating and selling an
illegal electronic telephone attachment that allowed the user to make long-distance
calls at no cost, Jobs and his friend Stephen Wozniak built and marked one of the
worlds first microcomputers. From a business that began in a bedroom and garage
of his parents home, Jobs six years later was chairman of the board of a company
with $600 million in sales and growing almost out of control. The Apple computer
was named by Jobs in memory of a summer spent working in the orchards of
Oregon. (Taken from Computers in Education by Merrill, at al.)

How has a computer application influenced our attitudes?


Attitudes are associated with almost every learning activity. An attitude is an
internal state that affects our tendency to respond in a certain way. People
generally have a positive or negative emotional reaction to any learning situation.
That emotional reaction influences our attitudes about what we have learned. Our
attitudes influence how we respond with respect to our knowledge and skills.
Attitudes are involved in choices made about smoking cigarettes, attendening an
opera, studying, following safety procedures, and obeying traffic laws. Attitudes can
be influenced and changed through the use of classical condition, reinforcement,
and human modeling.
Any computer application will have some influence on student attitudes. If the
program is designed to adapt to individual needs, then the student will experience
success and have a positive emotional reaction. If the program is too easy or too
difficult, the student will become bored or frustrated, which leads to negative
attitudes. If appropriate gaming elements are incorporated into the application,
then the students will be motivated to continue to interact with the program. When
students have a choice, they will engage in those learning activities that are
enjoyable and relevant to their interests. Computer-based videodisc applications
can be used to demonstrate or model appropriate choice behaviors. (Taken from
Computers in Education by Merrill, et al.)

You have to read the following text at home

Food Personalities
People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. A
study shows that our diets are also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps we
dont choose foods only for taste and nutrition. We might choose them because
they tell people something about us. For example, some people mainly eat
gourmet foods, such as caviar and lobster, and they eat only in expensive
restaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to tell the world
that they know about the the better things in life.
Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not
to eat meat. These vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.
Their personalities might be similar, too. For example, vegetarians in the United
States may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.
They worry about their health of the world, and they probably dont believe in war.
Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast food-eaters
have a lot in common with each other, but they are very much different from
vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also in hurry.
Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities,
but it is a common picture of them.
Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign have similar food
personalities. Arians (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19)

44
usually like spicy food, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of
Taurus (April 20 to may 20) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables to other food,
but they often eat too much. Sagittarians (November 22 to December 21) like ethnic
foods from many different countries. Aquarians (January 20 to February 18) can
eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol are sometimes
problems for them. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)

The Laser
Since the laser is an intense, highly directional source of light, some of its energy
will be absorbed by the material it strikes. This absorption can result in a
temperature increase of the surface and/or the interior of the object. If the object
placed in the path of the laser is the human body, then extra precautions should be
taken.
The eye is much more vulnerable to injury from laser radiation than the skin. When
a laser beam directly hits the eye, visible light is transmitted through the cornea
and lens and is focused to a small spot on the retina. This is true for direct viewing
(looking into the laser) as well as specular reflections of the beam (reflection off
mirror like surfaces).
Both Class I and II Helium-Neon lasers can be used for classroom demonstrations
because of the low potential for injury to the user or viewer. However, the Laser
Institute of America lists the following safety precautions when operating Class II
lasers:

Do not permit a person to stare into the laser.

Do not point the laser at a persons eye.

Keep beam paths above or well below either sitting or standing eye level.

Permit only experienced personal to operate the laser, and do not leave an
operable laser unattended.

49

Eliminate unnecessary specular surfaces from the vicinity of the beam path.
(Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin Lougheed, 1992)

Are Men More Creative Than Women?


Through out history it has been men, for the most part, who have engaged in public
life. Men have sought for public achievement and recognition, while women
obtained their main satisfactions by bearing and rearing children. In womens eyes,
public achievement makes a man more attractive as a marriage partner. But for
men the situation is reversed. The more a woman achieves publicly, the less
desirable she seems as a wife.
There are three possible positions one can tackle about male and female creativity.
The first is that males are inherently more creative in all fields. The second is that if
it were not for the greater appeal of crating and cherishing young human beings,
females would be as creative as males. If this were the case, then if men were
permitted the enjoyment women have always had in rearing young children, male
creativity might be reduced also. (There is some indication in the United States
today that this is so.) The third possible position is that certain forms of creativity
are more congenial to one sex than to the other and that the great creative acts will
therefore come from only one sex in a given field. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann
& Kenezevic, 1985)

Charlie Chaplin, Creator of Comedy


Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a
whole world laughing as the little man with the bowler hat, the cane, and the
overlarge shoes.
Much has been written about Chaplins art and his legendary career, and opinions
have varied widely. But perhaps the commentator who called him the most
universal human being of our time comes closest to the truth. Those who have
called him a genius stress the timeless and universal qualities in his work. It is an
art filled with tragic undertones and deep human feeling, with which an audience
cannot help but become involved and identified. It is for these reasons, I believe,
that the figure of Charlie has kept its grip on generation after generation.
All his biographers agree that Chaplins miserable childhood in the London slums
was the decisive influence in his development and in the type of films he made.
Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memories. The more one reads about his
earliest period, the more one is inclined to agree. For Chaplin, his suffering youth
has a lingering fascination: it gave him a world that he could transform with his
imagination onto the movie screen.
Chaplin was never afraid of tackle controversial subjects in his films. He released a
parody on war (Shoulder Arms) only a few weeks before the American troops came
home from the hell of the trenches in World War I (1918). This was regarded as

58
sheer madness, but the parody was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on
the head that even the homecoming soldiers found it irresistible and deeply
appreciated this skit on what for them had been grim reality.
Churchgoers raged when Chaplin, in The Pilgrim (1923), attacked nonconformist
religions. In City lights (1931) he took his turn at mocking capitalism. Modern
Times (1936) parodied the inhuman destruction of the machine age. The great
Dictator (1940) made fun of Hitler and proclaimed Chaplins view of world politics.
Chaplin, in his comic satirical way, fought what he perceived as tyranny and
injustice. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)

UNIT 14
1. READING
You have to read the following text at home

Thinking Skills
Many teachers today believe that they teach thinking skills. In most instances,
however, what they actually do involves putting students into situations where they
are simply made to think and expected to do is as best they can. Most methods
teachers customarily use to teach thinking are indirect, rather than direct. These
methods are based on the questionable assumption that by doing thinking,
students automatically learn how to engage in such thinking.
Educational researchers have pointed out time and again that learning to think is
not an automatic by-product of studying certain subjects, assimilating the products
of someone elses thinking, or simply being asked to think about a subject or topic.
Nor do youngsters learn how to engage in critical thinking effectively by
themselves. There is little reason to believe that competence in critical thinking can
be an incidental outcome of instruction directed, or that appears to be directed, at
other ends. By concentrating on the detail of the subject mater being studied, most
common approaches to teaching critical thinking so obscure the skills of how to
engage in thinking that students fail to master them.
If we want to improve student proficiency in thinking, we must use more direct
methods of instruction than we now use. First, we must establish as explicit goals
of instruction, the attitude, skill, and knowledge components of critical thinking.
Second, we must employ direct, systematic instruction in these skills prior to,

63
during, and following student introduction to and use of these skills in our
classrooms. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin Lougheed, 1992)
