28、panish and so on. Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and
29、 listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay
30、 a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyones job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we
31、want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English. Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT!

34、udentsD. Indian studentsBNot everyone goes to university after high school graduation.

They are studying sharks off the Australian coast, bui
35、lding schools in Mexico and learning Spanish or Italian.The concept of a gap year may not be new, but the recent surge(涌现) of interest certainly is. Some students are putting off admissions. Others, who dont get into the college of their choice, are taking a year to explore new frontiers before reap
36、plying.Students are choosing to take a breather; they are thinking. They are not sure what they are going to do. They are going and exploring some of their interests. They are getting experience they can take to the school they finally go to.It is an idea actively encouraged by colleges. Princeton U
37、niversity has just launched a “bridge year” program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad, starting in 2009. And the Harvard has spent the last 30 years urging incoming students to take a gap year. “Many speak of their year away as a life-changing experience or

There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying t
42、o sell. Health foods are packages in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive foods, like chocolates, are gold and silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the
43、 customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.I
44、t is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging.The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product.
