前言
TOEFL,中文的翻譯給了它一個很符合中國文化的名稱——“托福”。只要是對出國留學有了解的中國人,對這門考試都耳熟能詳。在過去的25年中,中國參加這門考試的人達到了上百萬,而其中的幾十萬人,在通過了這門考試以后,奔赴異國他鄉(xiāng),到美國或其他國家的大學去讀書,從此改變了自己的生命軌跡。從這個意義上來說,很多人都托了這門考試的福。這一翻譯也由此名副其實?! ⌒聳|方的出現(xiàn),也是托了這門考試的福。想當初新東方的創(chuàng)辦,就源自一個小小的托福班。80年代末,中國留學熱潮的興起使托??荚囎兊弥耸挚蔁?。我在留學大潮中,也參加了托??荚?,夢想著到美國的大學去讀書,不是為了實現(xiàn)報效祖國的理想,只是為了使自己不至于被大潮甩得太遠。沒想到即使第一次托??剂?57分(1988年10月,在那時算是頂級分數(shù)),依然沒有任何一所美國大學要我(這一點充分證明了分數(shù)不是萬能的),只能留在國內混日子。沒想到有培訓機構聽說我托福考了高分,又是在北大當老師,就一定要我加入教托福的隊伍里去。從此,我“落草為寇”,離開了北大,創(chuàng)辦了新東方學校,開始了經營新東方并使之成為中國出國考試培訓最核心機構的十幾年歷程?! ≌f來好笑,我對英語教學的深入研究和對日常英語的自如運用,都來自托福。在辦新東方以前,我在北大當了五年學生和六年老師。讀的書大部分都是英文的小說、詩歌和散文,不是莎士比亞就是尤金.奧尼爾;而對生活中活的英語,基本上處于不聞不問的狀態(tài)。直到我為生計所迫開始托福教學時,才突然意識到生活中的英語竟如此美好。托福聽力中的每一句話其實都可以當作口語來用,而朗讀托福聽力的人語音語調是那/z,優(yōu)美,使你不由自主地想和他/她一起朗讀。在托福聽力教學中,我盡力去模仿、理解每一句話,然后在課堂中把它們說出來,在日常生活中把它們說出來。十年后,我對所教過的托福聽力題,幾乎都能夠倒背如流。以至于后來我到美國,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己講出的每一句話,幾乎都能夠從托福聽力中找到源頭。而托福的閱讀使我理解了美國人的思維和寫作方法,也使我掌握了大量的應用詞匯??傊?,托福使我進入了英語教學和運用的一個全新世界?! 嶋H上,改革之前的托福,也是一門相當不錯的考試。它從聽力、語法、閱讀、寫作上對考生各個方面的基本功進行考查。很多人都以為托福充滿了技巧,只要把考試技巧學會了就能夠考高分,其實不然。我研究過各類考試的許多技巧,在任何一門考試中,都有一定的規(guī)律可以摸索。但光靠技巧,就想拿到高分,是一件不現(xiàn)實的事情。我輔導過的學生,英語水平越高,越能夠更好地運用考試規(guī)律;水平差的,即使把別人總結的技巧背得滾瓜爛熟,也還是對考試摸不著頭腦。所以,我一直認為考試主要是實力的比拼。如果一個人的英語實力夠強,任何形式的考試都難不住他。

章節(jié)摘錄
Many anthropologists and linguists have studied storytelling, the accounts of personalexperiences that people tell in conversation, because stories reveal a great deal about apersons wofldview. In one study, the researcher analyzed twenty-one stories told inconversation by fourteen young men. In all of the stories, the men talked about themselves,mostly in a way that made them look good. For example, two men told about times whentheir extraordinary performance had won a game for their team. The mens stories tended to be about competition or contest. Most of the stories had aprotagonist, a main character or hero, as well as an antagonist, a character or force opposingthe main character. When the storyteller was not the protagonist in his own story, theprotagonist was always another man. None of the stories had a woman as the protagonist,although women occasionally appeared as minor characters. Many of the stories were about contests with other men. There were physical contests,such as fights and sports. There were also social contests, in which the protagonist usedverbal or intellectual skill to defend his honor. Some of the stories told of contests withnature, such as hunting, fishing, and mountain climbing. The men talked mostly about eventsin which they had acted alone. In only four of the stories did the protagonist receive help oradvice from another person. The vast majority of men who acted alone achieved a positiveoutcome. The researcher concluded that these young men view life as a contest, a struggle againstnature and other men. In their world, power comes from an individual acting alone againstothers in a test of skill and performance.
