听力原文： While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers praised the cancellation of exams because they believe "tests don't tell the whole story."

As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student's final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year's work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student's ability.

The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student's future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.

There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered？ Should we simply take the student's word for it？ Any institution that "liberates" students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the "graduates" of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.

When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.

A．Exams don't tell the whole story.

B．Tests can not effectively measure students' abilities.

C．The cancellation of exams should be praised.

D．The two writers mentioned in the passage hold wrong conception of exams.

听力原文：M: Hey Lisa, how's it going？

W: Uh, I'm OK, but my schoolwork is really stressing me out.

M: What's wrong？

W: Well, I've got a paper to write, and two exams to study for. And a bunch of math problems to finish. It's just so much that I can't concentrate on any of it. I start concentrating on studying for one of my exams, and then think, how long's it gonna take to finish that problem set？

M: Sounds like you've got a lot more work than you can handle. Have you talked to some of your professors... I mean, try to explain the problem. You could probably get an extension on your paper, or.

W: Then it would give me a little more time to prepare for my exams.

M: Well, have you tried making yourself a schedule？ That's what I do when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

W: What does that do for you？

M: Well, it helps you to focus your energies. You know, you make yourself a chart that shows the next few days and the time till your stuff is due and.

W: Uh-huh.

M: Think about what you need to do, and when you have to do it by, and then start filling in your schedule. But don't make the time periods too long, you'll get tired, or start worrying about your other work again. If you keep to your schedule, you'll just have to worry about one thing at a time.

W: Yeah, that might work.
