III. Read through the following paragraphs trying to get the main idea.Then,read it again to get the details that support the main idea. PASSAGE 1
The process of preparing for final examination involves both long-range and short-range planning. Basic long-range considerations are regular class attendance and consistent, week-by-week completion of all reading assignments. Of course, systematic notes or outlines of major points raised in the class discussions or in the assigned readings provide a condensed record of the essential facts and concepts. To keep outlines and notes up to date, they should be reviewed and revised from time to time throughout the college year.
Short-range planning should include knowing the format of examination papers or suggested study questions at least three weeks prior to the examination date. These can be used as guides in an intensive review of the ideas that teachers have considered important. Self-confidence in analytical and compositional skill can be increased by actually writing out and checking practice answers to typical examination questions.
PASSAGE 2
Parents in China tend to make all decisions for their children. It is not unusual that Chinese parents will choose schooling for their children. Children’s clothing and even timetable are often decided by their parents. Upon their children’s graduation, Chinese parents tend to pick up a profession for their children.
Deciding everything for your children does not help them to make way in the world. It is obvious that parents cannot accompany their children and make decisions on everything all the time. Deciding all things for your children will make them form a passive and dependent habit, which will do more harm than good in the long run.
Growing to be independent is the natural way for everybody. As a child grows up, he will
graduate from a school or a college. After graduation he will work and then build up a family of his own. This is the way every parent has experienced. Therefore giving more advice rather than making decisions is more helpful.
