     Today Newtown is a very clean place. Many years ago, however, there were millions of rats
(老鼠) in Newtown. They attacked the cats and dogs. Sometimes a great number of them knocked
down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very large and they harmed many people.
     The Government (政府) ordered everybody to kill rats. Most people were very lazy, so they did
not kill them. Then the Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made
people very happy. A Government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile. Sometimes a man brought
hundreds in a day.
     After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought rats to the
Government officer. The Government officer thought that people were stealing dead rats from the

        To take good notes, you need to be able to do two things very quickly: first, you must understand main
topic; second, your hand must work as fast as your ears so that you can write down as much information as
possible.
        You don‘t have to learn how to write down what you hear. But you do need to practice a few simple skills
to help you to be good at note-taking. Also, you should learn how to write only the most important words in
short forms from each sentence without taking notice of the rest. 
        In the old days, people sent telegrams to each other. When they did it, they had to pay by the word, and it
was expensive. That is why they sent very short telegrams which included only the most important words.         Let’s compare these two examples:
     ●"I will be arriving tomorrow, Monday, April 15,on TWA flight number 222, at JFK airport."
     ●"Arrive 15th TWA 222 JFK"
         Which would be more expensive? 
         When you take notes, you have a similar problem. In this case it is not money, but time. For that reason,
it is a good idea to practice listening for only the most important sentences, and only the most important words
in those sentences.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面各題。
1. To take good notes, first, you must understand main ______.
2. Second, your hand must work as ______ as your ears.
3. Also  you should learn how to write only the important  words  ______ from each sentence.
5. The writer's purpose is ______.

Dear Brad, ?
      In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the
10th grade and choose a good school to study in. Now I am trying my best to achieve this. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. ① I am so busy with my
school-work and duties as monitor that I don't have enough time to keep a balance between them. Gradually
I become lazy. ② The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance
as class monitor. Her words really discouraged me. ?

choose??
