2014年6月英语六级听力之复合式听写

清枫月

很汗颜，小编去考六级了，复合式听写还有一个空缺不知道是什么，应该是motivate那个空吧。还望大家指正我画错了没？

   Tests may be themost unpopular part of academic life. Students hate them because they producefear and anxiety about being evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learningfor learning's sake. But tests are also valuable. A well-constructed test identifies what you know and what youstill need to learn.

Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others. And knowingthat you'll be tested on a body of material iscertainly likely to motivate you to learn the material morethoroughly. However, there's another reason you might dislike tests. You mayassume that tests have the power to define your worth as aperson. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that youreceived some fundamental information about yourself fromthe professor --- information that says you are a failure in some significantway. This is a dangerous and wrong-headed assumption.

If you do badly on a test, it doesn't meanyou are a bad person or stupid or that you'll never do better again and thatyour life is ruined. If you don't do well on a test, you'rethe same person you were before you took the test. No better, no worse. Youjust did badly on a test. That's it!

In short, tests are not a measure of your value as anindividual. They're a measure only of how well and how much you studied. Testsare tools. They're indirect and imperfect measures of whatwe know.
