【录音原文】

What Is Grit?

Good afternoon, everyone.
[1]
Today, I would like to talk about my research project concerning the key to
success
. I
would like to start my topic with my own story.
When I was 27 years old, I left for a demanding job
—
teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public
schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I
calculated grades.
What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my
strongest
performers
did not
have
super
IQ
scores.
Some
of
my
smartest
kids
weren‘t
doing so
well. Then,
I
felt very
interested in knowing the reason why
the students‘ math performance
is not that closely related to their IQ scores.
[2]
I started
studying kids and adults in all kinds of
challenging settings
, and in every study my question was,

who

is successful here
and why. My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict

which students would stay in
military training and which would drop out.
[3]
We went to the
National Spelling Contest
and tried to predict which children
would advance furthest in competition. We worked with private companies, asking which of these salespeople is going to
keep their jobs, and
who‘s going
to earn the most money. We went to many places

and finally, one characteristic emerged
as a significant predictor of success. And it
wasn‘t
social intelligence. It
wasn‘t
good looks, physical health, and it
wasn‘t
IQ. It was grit.
What is grit? Well,
[4]
grit is
passion and perseverance
for very long- term goals.
[5]
Grit is sticking with your future,
day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make
future a reality
.
[6]
Grit is living your life like
it‘s
a
marathon
, not a sprint.
A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take
grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate.
[7]
It turned out that
grittier
kids
were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could

measure, things like
family income, test scores, and so
o
n.
To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day,
parents and teachers ask me,
―
How do I build
grit in kids? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?
‖

Our data shows very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their
commitment.
[8]
In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated to
measures of talent
.
So far, the best idea
I‘
ve heard about building grit in kids
is something called
―
growth mindset
‖
.

[9]
Grow
th mi
nds
et
is the belief that the ability to learn is
not fixed
, that it can change with your effort.

[10]
Kids with grit

are much more
likely
to persevere when they fail,
because they don‘t
believe that failure is a permanent condition.
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And
that‘s
where
I ‘m
going to end my talk,
because
that‘s
where we are.
That‘s the
work that stands before us. We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start

over
again with lessons learned.
As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. Next time, I would like to share with you my
experience in building up students‘ grit.

【录音原文】

W:
It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world because

they
are already, some of them, more than 100,000 dollars in debt. With us now is Mark Spenser. He is the senior financial
analyst from SBC Bank. Welcome to
you.
M:
Thank you. Nice to be with you.
W:
Now, I guess there are two kinds of debts, good debt and bad debt. Where does this go?
M:
[7]
Well, student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families

is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6 to 8 percent a year, far faster than the income, far faster than the
standard of living. That means
debt‘s taking
on a bigger and bigger role in financing
education.
W:
How much debt is too much debt for ... for one student?
M:
[8]
Well, one guideline is that you look at the first year salary in your field after graduation, and use that as a barometer,
but even then ...
W:
Is that right?
M:
Well, you are talking big payments even in that instance, for example, 30,000 dollars worth of debt. If you are gonna
repay that over 10 years, you are talking more than 300 dollars a month that, in payments every month for 10 years.
W:
But there is surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs. There are so many
kinds of grants.
What‘s
...
what‘s
the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try

to

keep themselves
from going under?
M:
I understand that loans are just one way of college finance. Take advantage of the other opportunities.
[9]
Things like
a college savings plan let ... let you save on a tax advantage basis. So you can put money away

in these accounts

and withdraw tax- free to pay for that education.
W:
So, it‘s important to start e
arly and that really reduces that reliance on debt later.
M:
Another thing, leave no stone unturned, looking at grants, scholarships, even on-campus jobs. I

mean every dollar you
get that way is seen as another dollar
you don‘t have to borrow
later.
W:
The kinds of jobs that so many students, fresh off students, like to go into, er, charity stuff,

volunteer

work. This debt
is eliminating a lot
of that, isn‘t
it?
M:
[10]
I think
that‘s the social
cost. Really, I mean ... you know, when you consider that, you know,
people may pass up
a rewarding career in charitable work, or non- profit organization because they have to get a higher salary someplace
else to pay off that debt.
W:
Yeah, that‘s for sure. Mark Spenser, senior financial analyst from SBC Bank. Mark, good you could be here.
M:
Thank you.
6.

What is the interview mainly
about?
7.

How does the cost of college education change every
y
ear?
8.

What is used to measure student loan debt as a
guideline?
9.

What is the advantage of joining a college savings plan?
10.

What is the possible social cost of a college loan?

这里教师不止一个，
所以应该使用
“
teacher< br>s
”
，
A

项
和

B
项 排除。一般情况下，不管被修饰的词是单数名词还是复数名词，作定语的名词都需要使用单数形式，但是
“
man
”或
“
w
oman
”作定语时，当后面的名词是单 数时，
“
man
”
或
“
w
oman
”使用 单数形式，当后面的名词是复数
时，需使用复数形式，故选

D
项。
