内容概要
全国英语等级考试(Public English Test System,简称PETS)是教育部考试中心设计并负责的全国性英语水平考试。PETS是我国惟一面向全体社会公民的多级别的权威英语测试体系,人们可以根据自己的英语水平选择参加其中任何一个级别的考试。PET5分为笔试和口试两个相对独立的考查部分,对考生听、说、读、写等能力进行全面考查,对合格者颁发相应的英语等级证书,以满足社会上英语能力鉴定和人才市场的需求。高等教育自学考试专科和本科的公共英语考试己分别承认PETS-2和PETS-3考试。PETS-5考试已经替代了主要用于评价公派出国留学人员英语水平的全国外语水平考试(WSK)中的英语水平考试(EPT)。PETS-2和PETS-4考试的标准和题型已经用于改造了全国普通高考和全国硕士研究生入学统一考试中的英语考试。有关省份的普通高考英语听力考试成绩采用了PETS-2听力考试成绩,高考外语类考生的口试使用了PETS-2口试。
章节摘录
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other c mforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arisesfrom different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds. The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things,the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be critical. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, sinceit brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a work to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and condescend to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to av id any contact with them.Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. ……
