"Now, now," he would shout,"the left foot on that beat. Bah, bah, stop! You walk like a lot of tinsoldiers. Are your joints rusty? Do you want oil? Look here, Taylor, if I didn't know you, I 'd take you for a truck. Pick up your feet, open your mouths,and move, move, move! Oh!" and he would drop his head in despair."And to think that I've got to do something with these things in two weeks--two weeks!" Then he would turn to them again with a suddenreaccession of eagerness." Now, at it again, at it again! Hold that note,hold it! Now whirl, and on the left foot. Stop that music, stop it! Miss Coster, you'll learn that step in about a thousand years, and I 've got nine hundred and ninety-nine years and fifty weeks less time than that to spare.Come here and try that step with me. Don't be afraid to move. Step like a chicken on a hot griddle!" And some blushing girl would come forward and go through the step alone before all the rest.

8月新SAT北美考试阅读真题自然科学部分
题目来源:“Memory in Plants”
文章作者:P.H.
文章具体内容:
植物是否具备记忆力?研究者观察含羞草为例子,测试从高处丢下来,观察叶子是否会收拢。实验结果表明含羞草能够通过记忆学会不收了叶子作为防御措施。文章还描述了两种不同的实验,以表明不同的含羞草叶子打开的程度不一样,另外在遇到其他威胁的时候,含羞草还是有相应的反应的。
文章原文摘录:
“More than a century ago Bengali polymath Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose posited that plants could feel, learn and remember,and more recent studies have confirmed they can store and recall biologicaldata. But research by Monica Gagliano of the University of Western Australia(UWA)and three fellow scientists goes much further. This study, published in Oecologia,offers proof that plants not only learn from experience, but remember what they have learned over relatively long periods.”

8月新SAT北美考试阅读真题社会科学部分
文章来源:《Why so cynical》
文章作者:Detief Fetchenhauer and David Dunning
文章梗概:研究人与人之间的信任,安排了两组人做实验。一方选择另外一方作为自己信任的人,把自己手上的前交给对方。被选择信任的人得到交给他的钱后,可以选择将钱变多,分一半给选择自己的人或者自己独吞。实验表明,被选择的人往往会感激选择自己的人,把钱分一半给对方。但是选择的人往往不相信自己选的人会给自己钱。(人与人之间的信任是如何崩塌的)
原文摘录:“They under estimate how often others respond generously to requests for help (Flynn& Lake, 2008) and overestimate how much others’ attitudes and actions are driven by selfish concerns (Miller, 1999). To be sure, there is contrary evidence showing that people can be roughly realistic in anticipating the altruism of others(Balcetis & Dunning, 2008; Balcetis, Dunning, &Miller, 2008; Epley& Dunning, 2000, 2006), but an increasing body of evidence suggests that when people are contemplating whether they should rely on the kindness of strangers, they suspect those strangers will prove more selfish than actually is the case.”
文章评述:这次的这篇社科文成为了考试的难点,抽象的概念加逻辑严密,题目偏重细节,选项迷惑性大,需要不断回看,都使得学生们很容易就蒙了。读文章过程中要注意逻辑和细节的笔记,做题要多回看,不然很容易错题。

文章来源:《The deadly dynamics of landsilde》
文章作者:Sigma Xi
文章梗概:讲述的是一块会滑动的石头,石头为什么会滑动呢?文章内给出了两个解释:一个解释是说空气使得这块石头滑动了,但是后面又否定了。第二个解释是说因为是水,并且认为这个解释的可能性更大。
原文摘录:“Approximately 17,000 years ago, a volume of rock equal to a cube about a half-mile on a sideroared out of a steep canyon in the San Bernardino Mountains in southern California. It originated 1,500 feet above the canyon bottom. Rocks in the slide, already fractured at the start of the event, shattered on impact with the canyon bottom, forming intricate three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles. When this event, known as the Black hawk slide,exited from the canyon, it ran out across a nearly flat valley floor for five miles.Amazingly, the pieces of the jigsaw puzzles stayed together as the slide zoomedalong at nearly 75 miles an hour.”
文章解析:假说体也是考察考生分类信息、提取信息、把握逻辑的一类文体,学生们不仅要把每一个假说分清楚,还要把我假说之间的相互关系。

文章题目:Can't find skilled workers? Start an apprentice program
原文链接://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=24016
文章内容:
1. One key element to a competitive workforce almost entirely overlooked in the U.S. is apprenticeships. These days, American businesses typically want someone else—trade schools, community colleges, universities or even the federal government—to train their future employees. If potential future job seekers haven't been provided with the training they need, many businesses expect job seekers to take all the responsibility on themselves, often taking on serious debt without any guarantee of future employment.
2. Worse, in the face of greater competition, many American employers are slashing training budgets and running employment software that rejects every applicant who doesn't already have the perfect combination of training and experience to perform the job on day one. Then employers lament that job applicants don't already know how to do the jobs that they want them to do. So shortsighted is this attitude that some construction companies that don't support apprenticeship programs complain that companies that do have such programs aren't training enough new workers. Yes, you read that right.
3. This sense of entitlement contrasts sharply with attitudes in some of the world's most competitive countries, where businesses are highly involved in preparing future workers through apprenticeships. In Switzerland, 70% of young people age 15-19 apprentice in hundreds of occupations, including baking, banking, health care, retail trade and clerical careers. In Germany, 65% of youth are in apprenticeships; in Austria 55%. All three countries have youth unemployment rates less than half of America's 16%.
4. Last year, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, the Slovak Republic and Spain all asked Germany to help them set up similar systems. In 1997, Britain introduced a program called Modern Apprenticeships, based on the German model, and enrollment has increased every year. It now stands at 858,900. In 2012, the U.K. added apprenticeship programs for commercial pilots, lawyers, engineers and accountants that are considered the equivalent of a college education.
5. The U.S. is headed in the opposite direction. The number of apprenticeship programs has fallen by one-third in the last decade. With only 330,578 registered apprentices in 2013, the U.S. had less than 40% of the number in Britain, a country one-fifth as populous.
6. There are glimmers of hope that the U.S.—or at least some savvy industries—might be starting to embrace apprenticeship. In St. Louis, technology entrepreneur Jim McKelvey convinced several large employers last year—including Enterprise, Monsanto and Rawlings —that it doesn't take a college education to become good at computer programming. What it takes is working with an experienced programmer.
7. These employers joined with Mr. McKelvey to set up what is essentially an apprenticeship program called LaunchCode. The program takes people with basic programming skills, pays them $15 an hour, and pairs them with experienced programmers for two years to give them the training to secure jobs as coders.
8. Some employers think apprenticeships could also work in other high-tech, high-growth industries. In recent years, the U.S. Office for Apprenticeships has registered new apprenticeship programs in information technology, health care, biotechnology and geospatial technology.
9. There is evidence that such apprenticeships can do more than just train young people for future careers: They can also improve student academic performance. In the few U.S. school districts that have offered apprenticeships, high-school juniors and seniors who have been apprentices have improved in the classroom.
10. In the Bayless School District in suburban St. Louis, for example, students who entered the district's Middle Apprenticeship Program with the Carpenters' Union had better attendance than before entering the program. The mean grade point average for these students was 1.7 at the end of their sophomore year, before they entered the apprenticeship program. By senior year, it was 3.13. They graduated with better attendance and better grades than did a group of similar students who weren't in the program.
11. To the extent that the American business community is involved in education reform, they are typically investing in faddish reforms such as banning tenure, that, even if passed, would do little to ensure the competitiveness of the nation's workforce. If this same money and effort went into pushing for a two-track education system—college or apprenticeship—it would do far more to produce students prepared to compete in the 21st-century economy.
