　The afterschool activity I’d like to recommend the most is photography. For one reason,photography teaches the masses how to appreciate life. Take myself as example,I started paying more attention to my surroundings since I began taking photos.I've learned you can find beauty in the most unlikely places if you slow downand take a closer look. For instance, an ordinary manhole can become a cutefunny face if you shoot it from a certain angle. Besides, photography bringsstudents closer to nature. After a long period of academic pressure, studentsare able to attain physical and mental enjoyment in the natural sites, which isconducive to their following academic performance.

The reading passage discusses a biologicalterm called “search image”, which refers to the image of acertain kind of prey that its predator memorizes and then uses when it issearching for this prey. For example, a certain type of caterpillar is greenand it prefers to live on green leaves so it can easily blend into itssurrounding making it difficult for predators like birds to spot and eat it.However, gradually the birds have discovered and memorized a fixed pattern ofimage on the caterpillar’s body, such as its unique stripes or spots. In this way the birdscan quickly spot the caterpillars and successfully catch them even if they arehiding among green leaves.

第五题

A graduate student is currently teaching aclass but he is not sure how well he has done because the students are notgiving feedbacks. In the conversation, the girl suggests that he could talkwith each student after class and ask for their opinions, or he could conduct asurvey in class and let students complete a questionnaire. I thinkquestionnaires are better than a talk. This is because an individual personaltalk between the teacher and the student can sometimes be too formal. Thestudents may be afraid to express their real thoughts in front of theirteacher. On the other hand, a survey can give students the time and freedom tocomment on their teacher in objective ways, so the teacher can find out howwell or how bad he has really done.

第六题

This lecture on psychology talks about twokinds of people and how they use different strategies when making choices. Thefirst kind of people are called the maximizer. They always try to evaluateamong different alternatives before deciding on the best. For example, studentswho study journalism have the possibilities of working for the newspaper, themagazine and other kinds of media, so they will often look through all thesepossibilities before they finally choose their job. The other kind of peopleare called the satisfier. These types of people are satisfied with whatevermeet his or her basic requirement. For example, a law student will mostprobably be satisfied with a job as a lawyer, as long as the salaries arereasonable.
