Clive Roberts.a(chǎn) director at ELS Educational Services,says English tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a lingua franca—the common language used among people with I different native languages.For that reason,a lot of new tests are being developed while old tests are being improved to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide.
Changes in language testing
“A lot of tests are now delivered online,all four skills are being tested,in some cases,by computer,in particular speaking and writing skills,which are the most difficult to assess on a computer environment,”says Mr.Roberts.
Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing,because the tests adjust to the test-taker’s ability.These computer-adaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring.Computer-a- daptive tests change depending on the test-taker’s responses.They can become more or less difficult during the testing session.For this reason,the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker.
Cultural sensitivity
Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity.The term refers to material on a test that is based on a certain culture or is hard for test-takers from different cultures to understand.
Mr.Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds to review test items.The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test-takers.
Proficiency(精通程度)in language
Changes to English proficiency tests make them better at measuring the learners’ability.However,Mr.Roberts says the changes may mean the tests are more difficult for some students.
“The tests have become more proficiency-oriented.The items are being designed in such a way that they test real-world proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom.So a lot of authentic texts,a lot of authentic listening passages are being used.”
The changes mean students have to be able to understand English the way it is used in everyday life,not just in textbooks.
1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined words“a lingua franca”in Paragraph l?
A. a universal language B.a(chǎn) second language
C.a(chǎn) native language D.a(chǎn) mother tongue
2.Which of the following is true about online English tests?
A.Listening is more difficult to be tested online than speaking.
B.Online English tests need more time.
C.Online English tests make scoring more accurate.
D.Online English tests are more difficult.
3.Why is proficiency stressed in language testing?
A.To make the test more difficult.
B.To get learners to learn textbooks well.
C.To test learners’speaking ability.
D.To test learners’real ability to use the language.
4.which words can best describe the new English tests?
A. More accurate but easier.
B.Less practical but harder.
C. Better but harder.
D.Less popular but easier.

How to get teenagers to read
Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task. The latest Xbox or PSP has got them addicted, or the homework seems to last forever. 1. Here is a guide on how to get your teenagers to read.
2. You could look at their school homework timetable and work out which evening they have the least amount of work to do. Make sure that your teenager is not going to an out-of-school club that evening.
Buy your teenagers a new set of books. Research the book lists for teenagers. The Chaos Walking Trilogy and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are suited for both boys and girls. If your teenager will never sit down to read a book, consider buying them an electronic reader like an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to encourage them to read. Make sure that the electronic reader you buy can only be used to read. 3.
Seize opportunities. If they seem unimpressed then whenever you see them not doing anything constructive, encourage them to pick up one of the books you bought. If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore. 4.
Consider punishments. 5. This doesn’t work for everyone but some people find that when your teenager messes up, you can tell them to go to their room and read. They might start to really enjoy the book.
A. Don’t be afraid of wasting money.
B. Electronic readers are harmful to teenagers’ eyesight.
C. Figure out what time is best for your teenager to read.
D. If they still refuse then you could use reading as a punishment.
E. But getting them to pick up a book is a lot easier than it sounds.
F. You’re sure to pick out a book that they really want to read there.
G. You know they could pretend to read and actually play video games.

In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (觀察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.
A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:
Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.
Work with a messy (凌亂不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.
Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.
1.With a plan of action, you can ______.
A. work harder
B. do the wrong things more rapidly
C. avoid doing wrong things
D. get nowhere faster
2.Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.
A. waste a lot of time
B. find the things you need easily
C. become a top manager
D. save seven and a half hours per week
3.The text mainly tells us ______.
A. how to avoid wasting time
B. we should get our batteries all charged up
C. how important time management is
D. some time management mistakes

Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children's Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid's Yards – the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (棲息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
"Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club."
"We try to tell kids that it's not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult."
