Lesson TWO
With the introduction of computers to the modern world, books,
the traditional medium, are more and more challenged. Libraries often face the dilemma of investing on computers or books. With all aspects carefully considered,an investment on computers would be a better choice.
When equipped with computers, a library may run
more efficiently than ever. Students or faculties may get useful information as fast as the computer can. A student may find it easier to type in only a key word and get the desired results,which, if done with books, may well need a long time scanning among many related books; A researcher may feel it more convenient to find an article on those Engineering CD series than in a paper book. With the dev
elopment of computer technology, such as the increasement of CPU rate, memory, or cache on the mainbord, the efficiency of getting information can only be accelerated, whereas a man's reading speed is normally limited to some extent.
The efficiency of getting information is the users' major concern. While for the librarians, what they care most is how to store as much as possible information within limited space.
A computer has a large storage capacity. When a book with 750,000Chinese characters is stored as electronic text, it only take about 1M bytes on the hard disk. When stored on a normal CD with 640MB capacity, when these CDs are packed in locks, much precious space will be spared for other uses.
Unlike a book, a mortal physical medium, a computer may keep all data on its disk safe and sound for a long time. It is very easy for us to copy, backup, or transfer those data to rewritable CDs or other recording materials.
The last but not the least. Internet may provide these computers with more capabilities of future information exchanges.
Books, certainly, have their own merits. As a traditional medium, people have reasons for cherishing them. They are easy to carry, conveniently read without consumption of any other type of energy. However, for a modern library, computers, presenting so many merits and possibilities, can be more reasonably treated as a wiser choice.

106) Lesson Five
107) 如何在30分钟内快速、整洁写完文章。 快速:
108) 熟悉考场写作三个步骤的时间分配:
109) 第一步:审题、确定立场、列出理由(只需要在草稿纸上用英文单词或汉语列出各个理由,防止遗忘)最少3分钟最多5分钟:
110) 要避免两个极端:
111) 用时太少,理由没有想清楚就开始写作,不仅造成文章逻辑结构不清,还会引起行文中频繁的修正,欲速则不达;
112) 用时太多,不要追求一次思考就能把每一条理由及相关例证都想出来。其实想出两条之后就可以动笔,各个理由的例证可以写到该段时边思考边写。这一点你不必怀疑,只要你的思维还是正常的,一定能做到。
