ege students, Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a more accurate predictor of their college grades, than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school, the two measures most monly used to predict college performance. ‗Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,‘ Doctor Snyder said. ‗When you pare students of equivalent intelligence and past academic achievements, what sets them apart is hope.‘ In devising a way to assess hope scientifically, Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. ‗That notion is not concrete enough and it blurs two key ponents of hope,‘ Doctor Snyder said, ‗Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to acplish your goals, whatever they may be.‘ 2020 年 6 月六级听力原文 (新东方 ) Section A Short Conversation 11. M: Oh, I39。 m so sorry I fot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library. W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won39。 t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK? Q: What do we learn from this conversation? 12. W: Doctor, I haven39。 t been able to get enough sleep lately, and I39。 m too tired to concentrate in class. M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Yo ur body loses track of whether it39。 s day or night. Q: What does the man imply? 13. M: I think I39。 ll get one of those new Tshirts, you know, with the school39。 s logo on both the front and back. W: You39。 ll regret it. They are expensive, and I39。 ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them. Q: What does the woman mean? 14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me. M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority. Q: What does the man mean? 15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to her again? W: Well, if I were you, I39。 d let her cool off a few days before I approach her. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? 6 16. M: Would you please tell me where I can get batteries for this brand of camera? W: Let me have a look. Oh, yes, go down this aisle, pass the garden tools, you39。 ll find them on the shelf next to the light bulbs. Q: What is the man looking for? 17. M: Our basketball team is playing in the finals but I don39。 t have a ticket. I guess I39。 ll just watch it on TV. Do you want to e over? W: Actually I have a ticket. But I39。 m not feeling well. You can have it for what it cost me. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 18. M: Honey, I39。 ll be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring my suit and tie along? W: Sure, it39。 s the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? Long Conversations Conversation 1 M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy. W: So you are not sure which to go for? M: That39。 s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering twoyear contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year39。 s contract, and that39。 s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know. W: I see. So it39。 s much less secure. But you don39。 t need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23. M: That39。 s true. W: What about the salaries? M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I39。 ll be getting the equivalent of about ￡ 22,000 a year there, but only ￡ 20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I39。 d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching. W: Mmm… M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in panies and factories, and a couple of children39。 s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching. W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I39。 d imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit. M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I39。 d be stuck in the school all day. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard: Q19. What do we learn about the man from the conversation? Q20. What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic? Q21. What does the woman think of the job at the Language School? Conversation 2 W: Good evening and wele to tonight39。 s edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of 7 Dean. Good evening, Edward. M: Hello Tina. W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean39。 s early life. M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn39。 t there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy39。 s father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt. W: So how did he get into acting? M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting. W: Then when did his movie career really start? M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulo。
