and to judge 16) _______

briefly explain the grading procedure I'll be using in this course. 50% of your grade will be based on the midterm examination and the final exam. Both of these exams will be given during class time and each will be 2 hours long. [15] In a lecture class this size, it is impractical and almost impossible to give make-up exams, so plan on being healthy and in class on those days; otherwise, your final grade average may suffer. The semester is 16 weeks long and quizzes will be given every 2 weeks to make sure you're keeping up with what's going on in class. [16] Quizzes will count as 15% of your grade and daily homework will count another 15%. Homework will be collected and graded by the teaching assistants in your laboratory sessions. [16] So, 50% for exams, 15% for quizzes, and 15% for homework. The remaining 20% of your grade will be based on class participation. I'm obviously not in a position to judge this, but I will be asking our teaching assistants to evaluate how actively you participate in their clasps. Remember, [17] the purpose of the laboratory sessions is to give you a chance to ask questions about the lecture and to discuss difficult points.

This talk most likely happens

A．during registration.

B．on the first day of class.

C．at midsemester.

D．during finals week.

50% of your grade will be based on the mid-term examination and the final exam. Both of these exams will be given during class time and each will be 2 hours long.

Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use.They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot

of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is espcially useful.

Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team end not for himself On the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

16. When we play tennis we have to _____.

A use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the muscles

B make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same time

C use mainly the arms and legs to hit

D usc mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back

Judge: Oh, (60) .
