tv games shows
one of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. a novel can be on the "best sellers" list with a sale of fewer than 100,000copies, but a popular tv show might have 70 million tv viewers. tv can make anything or anyone well known overnight.
this is the principle behind "quiz " or " game" shows, which put ordinary people on tv to play a game for the prize and money. a quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. but all of this money can create problems. for instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the u.s. and almost everyone watched them. charles van doren, an english instructor, BECame rich and famous after winning money on several shows. he even had a career as a television personality. but one of the losers proved that charles van doren was cheating. it turned out that the show’s producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. why? because if the audience didn’t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. based on his story, a movie under the title" quiz show " is on 40 years later.
charles van doren is no longer involved with tv. but game shows are still here, though they aren’t taken as seriously. in fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. there are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on tv, or that punish losers by humiliating them. the entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on tv. people still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.

第十讲 定语从句
定语从句：
（一）什么叫定语从句？
定语从句也称为"形容词从句"，或"的从句"，顾名思义，就是用来修饰或说明名词的从句，被修饰或说明的那个名词称为"先行词"，即：
名词（先行词） ← 连接词 句子
由于汉语中的定语总是放在名词的前面，而英语中的定语从句总是放在被修饰或说明的名词后面，又要使用连接词加以连接，因此定语从句，特别是连接词的使用，成为中国学生学习的一个难点，也是考试的一个重点。
要搞清定语从句，初学者必须首先建立以下基本概念：
比较：我昨天买的那本书很有趣。
the book that i bought yesterday is very interesting.
昨天买的那本书很有趣。
the book that was bought yesterday is very interesting.
从以上句子可以看出：
（1） 定语从句一定是修饰或说明"名词"的，上句中就是"the book"
（2） 定语从句中的"连接词"就是前面那个名词的"化身", 一般都紧跟在名词的后面，上句中连接词"that"代表的就是前面的"the book"，即that = the book；
（3） 定语从句中的"连接词"必须在从句中充当一个句子成分（当主语、宾语或表语时称为关系代词；当地点、时间状语时称为关系副词），在上句中"that"当动词"bought"的宾语，也就是说，以下表达是错误的：
the book that i bought it is very interesting.
由于句中的"that"就是"bought"的宾语，因此"it"是多余的。这是考生在审题时要注意的一个问题。
以上概念是理解定语从句的基础，在没有搞清以上基本概念之前，不要进入下一节内容。
（二）什么叫限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句？
先看一个句子：
i have a brother who is an engineer.
这个句子可以有两个解释：
我有一个当工程师的兄弟。 或
我有一个兄弟，他是个工程师。
第一个句子称为限制性定语从句，说明"我至少有有两个兄弟，其中一个是工程师"，以便与另一个兄弟（或许他是个医生）相区分。所以，限制性定语从句也称为修饰性定语从句，在先行词（brother）与关系代词 （who） 之间一般没有"，"号分开。
第二个句子称为非限制性定语从句，说明"我只有一个兄弟，他是个工程师".所以，非限制性定语从句也称为说明性定语从句，中间一般有"，"号分开，特别是考试的时候。
该句一般写为：i have a brother, who is an engineer.
注意：凡说明世界上独一无二事物的都是非限制性定语从句，不管中间有没有"，"号，例如：
mt. tai which is located in shandong province attracts thousands of tourists every year.
（泰山位于山东省，每年吸引着成千上万的旅游者。）
按语法规定，这里的"which"是不能用"that"来代替的，为什么？见1.3节

scotland:a land of wisdom
in the 1740s,the famous french philosopher voltaire said“we look to scotland for all our ideas of civilization.”that’s not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education.
according to the american author arthur herman,the scots invented the modern world itself.he argues that scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life depends-everything from the scientific method to market economics.their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals,but to those people in business,government and the sciences who actually shaped the western world.
it all started during the period that historians call the scottish enlightenment(启蒙运动),which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.before that,philosophy was mainly concemed with religion.for the thinkers of the scottish enlightenment,the proper study of humanity was mankind itself.
their reasoning was practical.for the philosopher david hume,humanity was the right subject for philosophy BECause we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of how people think and feel.and from that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved,for universal benefit.
hume’s enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific method-the pursuit of truth through experiment.his friend and fellow resident of edinburgh,adam smith,famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business.trade,he argued,was a form of infrmation.in pursuing our own interests through trading in markets,we all come to benefit each other.
smith’s idea has dominated modern views of economics.it also has wide applications.he was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich,free and powerful through peace,trade and invention.
although the scottish enlightenment ended a long time ago,the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin(构成……的基础)our theories of human exchange and enquiry.it also exists in scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with orientation(方向).
16.scotland is the right place to receive a first-class education.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
17.according to arthur herman,the scots developed many important ideas which modern life depends on.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned 18.philosophers had come to know the importance of studying humanity even before the scottish enlightenment took place.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
19.david hume was the first philosopher to study mankind.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
20.smith’s idea has extensive applications.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
21.our current theories of human exchange and enquiry have nothing to do with the ideas developed during the scottish enlightenment.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
22.smith died in 1800.
a.right b.wrong c.not mentioned
距离4月份的职称英语考试还有一个月左右的时间，大部分考生由于平时工作繁忙，因此习惯于在考前进行一番突击学习，新东方在线职称英语项目负责人潘永峰老师认为，如果考生在这一个月时间里能够掌握好以下几个复习要点，将大大提高考试成绩：
1、在最后的复习时间内考生们大多感觉时间紧，希望短时间内提高，那就需要两手抓，两手都要硬，一个是认真按照国家指定教材复习，也就是辽宁大学出版社的《2008年全国专业技术人员职称外语考试用书》，如果不出意外，考试中将有30%-50%的题目来自该教材。希望关键的时刻考生可以抓紧时间把教材上的题搞清楚，如果教材上的题还没有搞清楚，其他的题都不看，如果把教材上的题都弄滚瓜烂熟了，那就做一些习题。
2、重点看新增文章。参考06、07年考试情况，新增文章在考试中出现的机率相对要大一些。虽然今年新增文章会不会是考试的重点文章还无法预测，但这部分文章在复习当中是必须要看的。
3、关注教材题目文章中出现的热门话题，例如：疾病类、环保类、机器人等科普知识类的文章可以重点看。
4、做到熟悉教材，另外需要打破思维局限：职称英语等级考试分为综合类、理工类、卫生类三个专业类别，除所报考的本类教材外，考生还可翻看其它两类的教材，其中一些热门或新增文章的题目涉及的知识可能对你有所帮助。
5、阅读理解和完型填空的原文译文要重点学习，熟记。
6、考试可以携带词典入场是职称英语考试的一个特色。考试中，词典占据重要的地位，但由于许多考生对词典的情况不熟悉，虽然是抱着词典进考场，但往往派不上用场，就是因为翻词典而浪费了大量的时间无法做完试卷。因此我们建议要有针对性地选择词典。并且要在考试之前提前准备好，在考试前复习的阶段中应当多家练习查阅字典的速度以及了解词典内容分布等为考试时节省时间和提高准确度做好准备。以免考生对英语词典中字母表排列顺序等都不了解，而浪费时间和有力的工具。
总的来说，职称英语考生以中青年为主，大部分考生英语底子薄，或长时间没有接触过英语，对考试没有信心。
但从近几年来看，参加新东方在线职称英语网络辅导的学员，通过率都能至少达到98%以上。
只要大家树立起必胜的信心，合理安排时间，认真复习，掌握考试技巧，职称英语考试一定可以通过。
