10、 worried about saying the wrong 4 thing.”Have you got any advice for Andy?S:OK.Well,the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.P:Speaking to himself?Im not sure thats a good idea.S:I know it sounds silly,but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to p
11、ractice.You dont have to feel embarrassed,because nobody can hear you.You can talk to yourself about anything you like what you had for breakfast,where youre going for the weekend anything.And the more you do it,the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation,so you wont

16、l we have time for today,but next week well be Viewing Scripts N=Narrator;I=Ian Deary;W1=Woman 1,etc.;M1=Man 1,etc.N:Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict,to an extent at least,your health and even your life expectancy.W1:You have 45 minutes to
17、 do the test,OK?M1:OK.N:Bill and Davina are 79 years old.This is the second time theyve done this test.The first time was in 1932,when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test.Its the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK.The results were 6 redisc
18、overed recently in an Edinburgh basement.If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older,these results are a potential goldmine.I:We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11.Now,these people are now 79 or 80
19、years old.We gave the same instructions.We gave the same test.And we gave the same time limit.M2:It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.M3:I walked through it quite happily,quite honestly.W2:I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N:There were some intrig
20、uing results.Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at 11.But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.I:Now,thats what really drives our research.Were interested in:Why have those people whove gone(people gone)from IQ 100,at age 11,up to 110 or 120?
21、What have they done right?What can be the recipe for successful aging?Were finding that the person with more education,even though they had the same IQ in childhood,is doing slightly better in old age,on average.The person who had a more professional job,in old age,is doing slightly better on averag
22、e than the person who had a manual job,despite the fact that they started at the same level.The people who 7 smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N:Whats even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today.So it
23、seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.Speaking for communication Role-play Scripts A:Ah,OK,so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.B:Yep.A:Er,well,how about this one?Its a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day.B:Mm,in my opinion,this is a really good idea
24、.You can make it a regular part of your daily life.A:You mean like having breakfast at the same time,lunch at the same time,studying at the same time.B:Yes.And also I think it helps when you study with friends.A:Yeah,I,I think its more motivating.B:And you can actually talk to someone,not just look
25、at books.I find that if Im only reading my notes its easy to lose concentration.I start thinking about other things.But when you are talking to someone,it really helps you concentrate.So,yes,I agree with this one.A:OK.Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam.8 B:Oh,really?A:Mm,when I eat
26、a lot,I get sleepy.B:Oh,I see.I think it depends.Because if you dont eat enough,you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.A:Mm,thats true.B:And then you cant concentrate.A:Yeah,thats true.B:So,Im not sure about this advice,for me.As I said,I think it depends.I always try to eat a good meal
27、before an exam.Im so nervous that I never get sleepy.A:Hm.OK.What other ideas do you have?B:Well,theres one thing I always do before an exam.A:Whats that?B:I go to bed early the night before.A:Right.B:I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.Further practice in listening Short
