有很多同学都曾经问过我同样的一个问题，他们问我的课程内容是围绕考多少分而设定的，我毫不犹豫的回答说是80+。所以，你们现在知道咯，跟着我的步调，如果能够把我的课程内容掌握90%+，绝对是八十分以上的水准，至于那些只求过线的同学，保守地说，能掌握个60%就已经足够了。
上期的理解段落
So, what should be done? Here are three steps to ease the current crisis and avert the potential for a global disaster. The first is to scale-up the dramatic success of Malawi（马拉维）, a famine-prone country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and high-yield seeds. Malawi's harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion in all. Such a fund could fight hunger as effectively as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and malaria is controlling those diseases.
局部译文：
因此，到底应该怎么做呢？缓解当前危机以及避免可能发生的全球大灾难分三步走。______________________。仅在一年之后，马拉维的粮食丰收就翻了一番。基于马拉维的成功模式，建立了一个国际基金会，它只需要富裕世界没人每年付出10美元（共计100亿美元）。该基金会对抗饥饿的效果与全球抗艾滋、结核、疟疾基金会控制那些疾病的效果一样。
