__① __ The range of materials and tools avaiable to help you with your language studies ishuge from dictionaries to language courses. All of them can help you in different ways, and theappropriate use of these materials and courses will make your language learning much easier andmore effective.
__② __ Possibly the most useful tools there are for learning a language are dictionaries. Dictionaries come in a number of formats including bilingual monolingual, illustrated, electronicand online. Bilingual dic tionaries are perhaps the most useful ones for beginners andinterme-diate learners while monolingual dictionaries, which are designed for native speakers,arealso useful for advanced learners. Pocket dictionaries are good for quick reference and easy tocarry around. Larger dictionaries are better if you want more definitions, examples of us age,andinformation about pronunciation, and grammar. Electronic dictionaries are available as handheldunits or assoftware. Handheld onesare portable, easyand quick to search, and often provide otherfunctions such as, text-to-speech, voice recognition and speech synthesis organizers, addressbooks. They tend to be rather expensive though. Software dictionaries offer many of the samefunctions, and canbe used on computers, and mobile phones.
__③ __ The traditional courses tend to consist of textbooks containing dialogues,Exercisesnotes on grammar, and maybe cultural information. Accompanying cassettesCDs and/or mp3s areoften available Most such courses are intendcd for complete beginners or people with onlyminimal knowledge of the language. Intermediate and advanced-level courses are available forsome of the more popular languagessuch asFrench,C, erman Italian and Spanish.
__④ __ Audio courses usually consist solely of cassettesor CDs though some may alsoinclude a limited amount of printed material. All dialogues exercises,instructions and explanationsare recorded and the focus of these courses is teaching you to understand and speak the language. They are very good at teaching you authentic pronunciation and a manageable amount ofvocabulary.
__⑤ __ Various computer-aided coursesare available on CD-ROMs and DVDs. Each courseis different but they generally include dialogues audio exercises and tests. Some also includephrasebooks,dictionaries, videos, gamesandprovide online and/or telephone support.

HIGHS & LOWS
Hormone levels - and hence our moods - may be affected by the weather. Gloomy weather can cause depression, but sun shine appears to raise the spirits. In Britain, for example, the dull weather of winter drastically cuts down the amount of sunlight that is experienced which strongly affects some people. They become so depressed and lacking in energy that their work and social life are affected. This condition has been given the name SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Sufferers can fight back by making the most of any sunlight in winter and by spending a few hours each day under special, full-spectrum lamps. These provide more ultraviolet and blue green light than ordinary fluorescent and tungsten lights. Some Russian scientists claim that children learn better after being exposed to ultraviolet light. In warm countries, hours of work are often arranged so that workers can take a break, or even a siesta, during the hottest part of the day. Scientists are working to discover the links between the weather and human beings' moods and performance.
It is generally believed that tempers grow shorter in hot, muggy weather. There is no doubt that 'crimes against the person' rise in the summer, when the weather is hotter and fall in the winter when the weather is colder. Research in the United States has shown a relation- ship between temperature and street riots. The frequency of riots rises dramatically as the weather gets warmer, hitting a peak around 27-30℃. But is this effect really due to a mood change caused by the heat? Some scientists argue that trouble starts more often in hot weather merely because there are more people in the street when the weather is good.
Psychologists have also studied how being cold affects performance. Re searchers compared divers working in icy cold water at 5℃ with others in water at 20℃ (about swimming pool tempera ture). The colder water made the divers worse at simple arithmetic and other mental tasks. But significantly, their performance was impaired as soon as they were put into the cold water - before their bodies had time to cool down. This suggests that the low temperature did not slow down mental functioning directly, but the feeling of cold distracted the divers from their tasks.
Psychologists have conducted studies showing that people become less sceptical and more optimistic when the weather is sunny. However, this apparently does not just depend on the temperature. An American psychologist studied customers in a temperature-controlled restaurant. They gave bigger tips when the sun was shining and smaller tips when it wasn't, even though the temperature in the restaurant was the same. A link between weather and mood is made believable by the evidence for a connection between behaviour and the length of the daylight hours. This in turn might involve the level of a hormone called melatonin, produced in the pineal gland in the brain. The amount of melatonin falls with greater exposure to daylight. Research shows that melatonin plays an important part in the seasonal behaviour of certain animals. For example, food con sumption of stags increases during the winter, reaching a peak in February/ March. It falls again to a low point in May, then rises to a peak in September, before dropping to another minimum in November. These changes seem to be trig gered by varying melatonin levels.
In the laboratory, hamsters put on more weight when the nights are getting shorter and their melatonin levels are falling. On the other hand, if they are given injections of melatonin, they will stop eating altogether. It seems that time cues provided by the changing lengths of day and night trigger changes in animals' behaviour - changes that are needed to cope with the cycle of the seasons. People's moods too, have been shown to react to
A.They were less able to concentrate.
B.Their body temperature fell too quickly.
C.Their mental functions were immediately affected by the cold.
D.They were used to swimming pool conditions.
