內容概要
全國英語等級考試(Public English Test System,簡稱PETS)是教育部考試中心設計并負責的全國性英語水平考試。PETS是我國惟一面向全體社會公民的多級別的權威英語測試體系,人們可以根據(jù)自己的英語水平選擇參加其中任何一個級別的考試。PET5分為筆試和口試兩個相對獨立的考查部分,對考生聽、說、讀、寫等能力進行全面考查,對合格者頒發(fā)相應的英語等級證書,以滿足社會上英語能力鑒定和人才市場的需求。高等教育自學考試專科和本科的公共英語考試己分別承認PETS-2和PETS-3考試。PETS-5考試已經(jīng)替代了主要用于評價公派出國留學人員英語水平的全國外語水平考試(WSK)中的英語水平考試(EPT)。PETS-2和PETS-4考試的標準和題型已經(jīng)用于改造了全國普通高考和全國碩士研究生入學統(tǒng)一考試中的英語考試。有關省份的普通高考英語聽力考試成績采用了PETS-2聽力考試成績,高考外語類考生的口試使用了PETS-2口試。
章節(jié)摘錄
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. ……
