Passage Translation

1.       Water is great medicine, needed to maintain a healthy body and a clear mind. About 60% of your body is water, and you must constantly re-supply it. The standard recommendation is to drink at least eight glasses a day. When you are exercising, you need even more water, because you are sweating and losing water. Of course, warm temperatures also increase water loss. Just walking for an hour on a warm day may increase your requirement by two glasses or more.

2.       Some people might think that being a foreign student is an easy task to do. It is not true. We live between two worlds. One, a world of memories, a world of the past where we get our strength to deal with the difficulties of growing up and adapting to new places. A world that nobody here knows. Two, the world of the present, strange and unfamiliar, a world where only we can take care of ourselves, a world where the rules and values are so different from the ones I was born to.

第二篇中，需要记录的有：think, foreign, student（取前三个字母）, easy; not true; 2 world; 1. memory, past, strength, difficulty, grow up, adapt; nobody know; 2. present, strange, unfamiliar, take care 自己, rule, value, different。这一段的结构相当清晰，考生务必边听边理清脉络，分层记录。
