fe. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinctionand one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mindand the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel nomatter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter.If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture afleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it withthe world in raw form; no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want tomake writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls"free writing". In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. Nostopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideaswill come out from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have taw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded tosit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually haveand you will end up staring blankly at the page as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank screen, start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through youravailable time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forthuntil you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel" (Line 3, Para.1 ) in the writing process, he means ____

A.no one can be both creative and critical

B.they cannot be regarded as equally important

C.they are in constant conflict with each other

D.one cannot use them at the same time

one of the highest scores. So, what can I do for you？ M: Dr Wilson, Im really worried about the paper due tomorrow — you know that case study. So far I havent done a thing beyond gathering the data, and I have two more midterms tomorrow morning. I was hoping youd give me an extension till Friday. W: Well, Dan, when I assigned the paper during the first week of the semester, I emphasised that late papers would be punished. Youre free to turn in your case study late, but Ill have to lower your grade for it. If I gave you extension, it wouldnt be fair to the other students. Youre a good writer, Dan. It shouldnt take that much time to turn your data into a solid report. M: But I havent even made my outline yet, and Im having a hard time with the computer analysis of the data. W: It sounds to me like youre just putting it off. M: I really am working on it, but I just cant get it finished and Ive got to study for two other tests by tomorrow afternoon! But I might be able to get it done after class...maybe...by midnight tomorrow. W: Hmm…I didnt specify what time the paper was due. But Im leaving campus at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, and they lock this building at 11:00 p.m. M: Still, if its under your door when you get in Thursday morning, you cant say I turned it in late, right？ W: Right. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 13. What does Dan want Dr Wilson to do？ 14. What is one reason Dan gives for his problem？ 15.

with my final paper these days. Lucy Wow. How is that？ Kevin Well, Professor Smith required me to research violence on television. For me, you know, its really challenging. At the very beginning, I had no idea of how to go about it. Lucy Indeed, its quite demanding. Kevin Fortunately, Professor Smith did me a favor and told me how to make a research design and the efficient way to gather material. Lucy And now hows it going？ Kevin Very well actually. Ive been doing the market research project. I have just gotten the results of the survey back and so now I have got to draw some conclusions from the information ive collected. Lucy Thats good. Im still writing my questionnaire. In fact Im starting to panic as the project deadline is in two weeks and I dont seem to be making much progress at all. Kevin What is your topic？ Lucy Forms of Transportation in the City. What about you？ Kevin Ive been finding out peoples attitudes to the amount of violence on television. Lucy Thats interesting. What do your results show？ Kevin Well, as I said, I havent finished writing up my conclusions yet, but it seems most people think there is a problem. Unfortunately, no real agreement has been reached on the action that needs to be taken. Lucy What did they say？ Kevin Nearly everyone surveyed said that there was too much violence on TV. A lot of people complained that American police serials and Chinese kung fu films were particularly violent. The main objection seems to be that although a lot of people get shot, stabbed, decapitated and so on, the films never show the consequences of this violence. Although people die and get horribly injured, nobody seems to suffer or live with the injuries. Any children watching might take the heroes of these programs as role models and copy their behavior. Lucy So what should be done as most people suggest？ Kevin A lot of people are concerned about how these films affect children. They are particularly worried that children will try to behave like the stars. The survey shows that violent programs should only be broadcast after 10:00 p. m. when most children are already in bed. There is also a significant minority of people who feel that violent films should be banned altogether. Lucy How did people feel about the violence on news broadcasts？ Kevin Most of the responses I have looked at have felt that violence on news broadcasts is more acceptable as its real. Although it is unpleasant, it is important to keep in touch with reality. Still, many people thought that it would be better to restrict violent scenes to late evening. Lucy So how are you going to do your research？ Kevin Im going to interview my residents in the shopping mall. What Ill do is asking people if they have five minutes to spare to answer a few questions. If they agree, I will ask them some multiple choice questions and tick off their answers on my sheet. In that way I can select people of all ages and attitudes, so my sample should be reasonably representative. Lucy Do your residents agree to answer your questions？ I mean, do they like to share their ideas with you？ Kevin Not all. Sometimes they think its useless to do such research, they take it for granted. Lucy Oh. Isnt it very difficult to ask meaningful questions using multiple choices？ Kevin Yes, it is. I suppose your survey has the advantage of more detailed information. However, in most cases people wont bother to give answers that require toe much effort on their part. Lucy So then, do you have any tips for writing a successful survey based on your experience？ Kevin Er... the secret is to write simple multiple choice questions that target the information you are looking for. Therefore, it is better to write a lot of short specific questions than fewer longer general ones.Narrator Listen to part of a conversation between two students. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

What is the problem that the male student has met while writing his final paper？

A．No real agreement on the action that needs to be taken.

B．No complaints about American police serials.

C．No complaints about Chinese kung fu violence films.

D．No need to care about the consequences of violence on TV.
