It is of utmost importance that a leader is trustworthy. A good leader needs to be trusted and known to live his life with honesty and integrity; or in other words, “walk the talk/practice what he preaches” and in doing so earns the right to have responsibility for others; otherwise, no one will be serious about his words or orders;then leadership will become a joke. Second, communication skills. Being able to clearly and succinctly describe and convince others what you want to achieve is extremely important. If you can’t relate your vision to your team, your people will be confused and distracted, and won’t be able to work towards the same goal. T2 Which do you think is more important: spend more time on accompanying your families or work and study. 你是哪个忙于工作（学习）而疏于陪伴家庭的人？还是愿意哪个为了花更多时间陪伴家人 ， 可以牺牲工作（学习）时间的人？工作（学习）和家庭都挺重要的，因此这道题的关键在 于你个人的取舍。但事情并不是绝对的。 你选择工作（学习）为重，是为了将来更好的陪伴家人，而不是置家人于不顾；你选择家 庭为重，只是为了多花时间陪伴家人，而不是因此荒废了自己的工作（学习）。 关于这个问题，老师是这样解答的。 I think the situation depends. Like say, you are an ambitious young man, you have so many dreams to achieve, then work and study is definitely your priority, you have to read widely, travel more often, and be thirsty for personal growth, so as to constantly upgrade yourself and become competitive enough to stand out from the crowd in this fierce competing world. But if you are a family man who enjoy family gathering time the most. Like say, a dog, kids, and a happy family are what you desire the most,then you should definitely spend more time on accompanying them;that is another kind of life-style, which is also admirable and should be respected. 10 月 28 日托福写作真题回忆 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier for parents to raise their children than 50 years ago. 时代在向前发展，科技在不断进步，社会也随着这些变化变得越来越好。但好事相对的。 对于父母来说，当今的社会，可以利用的资源更多了，生活也逐渐变得越来越优质化，相 比较过去，他们能更好地照顾自己的孩子。 对于父母来说，当今的社会，生活成本也逐渐的增高。现在的父母自然不可能再选择像 50 年前那样照顾自己的孩子，为了孩子更好的成长，他们在养育孩子上的花销也越来越 大。生活成本的提高加剧了父母肩上的压力，从这一点来讲，似乎如今的父母抚养自己的 孩子并不像 50 年前那样容易。 故而从正反两方面来讲，都能有大量的材料来支撑自己的论据，你只需要整理好自己的思 路，一步步解答这道题目。 Taking a panoramic picture of human evolution, family education has been playing a very important role, especially in modern days. When it comes to the question of whether or not raising kids is easier than before. I, personally, think that parenting has becoming more and more difficult based on the following reasons. First off, with the advent of technological gadgets kids are now more susceptible to negative information on-line, making it tough for parents to monitor and guide their kids’ behavior and mindset. As we all know, with the appearance of smart phones, tablets and computer laptops, it is easier for people of all age groups,including adolescents and teenagers, to get access to all kinds of information. To be more specific, celebrities especially entertainers, like movies stars, sports giants and pop singers are such bad exemplars for kids since they are constantly involved in sex scandals, abusive use of drugs, random hookups, getting rehabilitation. Kids, who arein their formative years, are not immune to these negative influence. Therefore, it is becoming absolutely tough for parents to guide them and any negligence might lead to be catastrophic for the kid’s future development. Additionally, parents are so overwhelmed with their career and they tend to be negligent about their kids. Kids, on the other hand, without guidance from their parents tend to have both psychological and physical problems. A recent study done by National Society of Developmental Psychology indicates that there is a positive correlation between the parents’ working time and the likelihood for kids to experience psychological and physical problems in their adolescence. Indeed, fathers and mothers are more stressful and inclined to work more hours than those who did a few decades ago, leaving them little time to hang out and caress their kids. To make matters worse, kids who might experience unparalleled peer pressure, bullying and other kinds of school cliche are not able to get appropriate and timely instruction and encouragement from their parents, increasing the risk of a series of developmental problems. For instance, they might get addicted to computer games,involve in early sex, and even have marijuana and drinking problems. In conclusion, due to the susceptibility of kids when exposed to negative information on-line or else and the parents’ lack of time spent with their kids, it is getting more difficult to raise kids now and kids are inclined to have both psychological and physical problems in their formative years. 10 月 28 日托福阅读真题回忆 第一篇是讲热带动物的生活。 第二篇是讲恐龙的灭绝还有陆地食物链和海底食物链的崩溃，以及在地球各层发现的物质 对这些理论的支持还有陨石撞地球。 第三篇是讲地球的形成 地表地幔地心的形成。 托福阅读词汇题回忆： consult extreme great coalesce after consideration simultaneously=at the same time constant continua 10 月 28 日托福听力真题回忆 Conversation1 是 office hours，学生和建筑系教授的对话，学生以后学 law，收到信 想要去 law school 参观，但是那天要做建筑学的 presentation。建筑学 presentation 会有大牛来，学生想要别人做，老师说必须你做。后来老师让学生给 law school 打电话。 Conversation2 是 校 园 场 景 。 一 个 女 学 生 跟 教 授 说 有 一 个 project 需 要 教 授 reconsider，她想提议在校园里面种蔬菜。教授说不行，然后女生拿出一个文件，有好多 人签名觉得这是可行的。老师说一个 volunteer 项目是校园外专门教小孩，学生说她本来 也想申请，然后老师借这个事情跟学生说可以在校园外尝试。学生说比如在 park 种蔬菜， 老师又说自己有 garden 要各种费心思维护，浇水杀虫之类的，告诉学生这个项目做起来 不容易。 托福听力对话部分分析： 这两篇 conversation 难度都比较大，其原因不在于词汇量和话题，而在于信息的密集度 ， 双选题数量多，意味着有很多并列的逻辑。啄木鸟老师再次提醒，双选题现在在一套题中 占比已经可以达到 1/5 甚至 1/4，大家一定要把 and、or、in addition to、besides 之 类的词反复多听，做到条件反射式地反应出句间逻辑，写下笔记符号。 Lecture1 是动物行为，鸟儿的 calls 和 songs 的不同，calls 是与生俱来的，就像婴儿求 食物，songs 是后天学习的，像 adults 学习。两人先是 William 然后是 Peter。William 研究让鸟儿听声音，一些是不让听的，一些听录音。 Peter 分两拨，一些鸟儿小于 50 天， 一些大于 50 天，还有一些不给听。老师说后来有研究说大于 50 天也没事，但是要听见 真正的鸟儿。最后老师觉得这些理论她都不是很确定。 托福听力真题分析：动物行为类的文章一直是高频话题，之前考过两种水鸟 (shoreshore birds)的比较，猩猩之间互相 grooming 的行为等等。已经在 TPO 中出现过的就有： Distraction display 迷惑表演、Displacement activity 替换行为、Food foraging 觅 食行为、Defense mechanism 防御机制、Camouflage 伪装行为、Cognitive ability 认知能力。而这次考试不一样的地方在于与动物实验进行紧密结合，这种考法比较难，多 涉及到比较、递进的逻辑关系，听的时候一定要注意实验的对象、条件、过程和结果。如 果大家不熟悉此类话题的话，可以通过类似篇目 T28L2、T30L1 进行复习。 Lecture2 是考古学，说的是 jewel，jade 从哪里来的，如何制作的?先说 mapping 的方 式对考古学特别有用。jade 是从哪里来的。先是研究 materials 发现 blanks 的东西，以 及一些矿物物质，后来发现它们都是在台湾发现的。后来说可能是 500 年前从台湾传播 到菲律宾，然后人们像用同样的材料和工具来制作这个 jade 发现不行，觉得那个时候约 500 年前技术很厉害。 托福听力真题分析：这篇文章涉及到的是人类和文化传播话题，这个话题在上周末的托福 考试中也涉及到了，可见它的热度，建议大家可以使用 TPO10L2、TPO14L3 进行精刷 练习。另外，考古类文章也会经常涉及到材料的选取和使用话题，可以 TPO28L4 进行参 考复习。 Lecture3 是艺术学，说的是 Realism 的定义的演变。Professor 说 Realism 的定义就是 反 应 真 实 细 节 的 事 物 。 然 后 说 一 开 始 有 个 叫 melodrama 的 特 别 夸 张 ， 会 使 用 到 spectacles(shore壮观的场面)，后来改进引入 set box，这个 set box 就像是墙一样。观众可 以听见水流的声音就在舞台上，显得非常的真实。 托福听力真题分析：这个题目还是很经典的艺术流派考法，同学们在听的时候可以多多关 注以下几个方面：该流派产生的背景(shore它是如何承上启下的)、代表艺术家、代表作、有何 创新点、同时代和后时代的人对它的评价等。 补充阅读：A melodrama is a dramatic or literary work in which the plot, which is typically sensational and designed to appeal strongly to the emotions, takes precedence over detailed characterisation. Characters are often simply drawn, and may appear stereotyped. Lecture4 是天文学，主要描述土星的卫星 Titan。Titan 特别的奇特，它的组成成分有很 多气体，还有 liquid，而且就像地球一样有着厚厚的大气，后来发现南部还有 lakes，但 是这些 lakes 正在 shrink。然后学生就说可能变成 solid 了，professor 说温度不对因为 那是夏天。后来说 vapor 了，然后问这些水去哪里了，学生类比在地球上会进入 cloud。 后来老师说从南部到北部等其它地区啦。因为夏天太阳、土星和 Titan 很近，所以它会蒸
