PART FOUR WRITING

SECTION A(10分，每小题1分)

Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality — independent will — that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.

The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic(给人深刻印象的)evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.

But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的)effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.

The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk.”

Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline(training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.

Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的)purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.

In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.

SECTION B　 (10分，81、82每题2分；83、84每题3分)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

New findings are against some of the sillier things that policymakers say about the possible influence of migrants(移民)on a country’s overall achievements. “When we started to do the PISA(Program for International Student Assessment)ranking in 2008, many countries were shocked at how badly they did,” says Mr Schleicher, “and excuses we often heard were: we get too many migrants, or we get the wrong sort of migrants.”

Although immigrant children typically do worse at school than locals, there is no country-wide effect. The OECD’s(the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development)analyses show an insignificant correlation of the number of immigrant children a country has and the average pupil’s achievement — and it is countries with more immigrant children that do slightly better.

As well as testing children on what they know, PISA also asks them how motivated they are: whether they think they will need the subject in question( most recently, science)for their future, and whether they like to study it for its own sake. In most countries, first-generation immigrant students are more motivated than the second-generation immigrant ones, who are in turn more motivated than the children of the native-born. Germany is a striking exception: new immigrants turn up with the usual ambitions and dreams, but at the age of 15 their children have already given up hope.

That suggests that any country that figures out how to let incomers shine will receive big benefits. Immigrants, however poor, are a self-selected bunch of ambitious and hard-working people, and their children usually know that, lacking the informal networks that let locals get ahead, they must study hard to succeed. Their varying fates show that although what happens outside the school gate is important, what happens in classroom is too.
