As a large，new and developing industrial workers group in China，migrant workers' political participation has an
important effect on whether socialist democratic political construction will go on smoothly，and also concerns the harmony and stability of both urban and rural areas. However，migrant workers' political participation is marginalized at present，and more importantly，noninstitutional political participation behaviors appear frequently，such as petitioning bypass local authorities，violence and vandalism，illegal gathering and suicidal threats，which threaten both social order and the regime governance. According to the theory of path dependence by Douglass C North，an American economist，we can find the root of migrant workers' non- institutional political participation due to being lack of some proper systems，existence of irrational systems and some systems in name only resulted from path dependence. Therefore，we should get rid of path dependent，reform and improve irrational systems，formulate the law and systems that will help to increase migrant workers' institutional political participation，and stick to the present rational systems faithfully.

Based upon the survey of 69 subjects from eight general universities in China who have similar language competence in TEM4 but get different marks in TEM8，this paper investigates to what degree attribution preference and learning strategy affect the mark gained in TEM8. The results reveal that: learning motivation and interest of students with poor marks is as strong as that of students with high marks. However，the attribution preference between the two groups diverges: the negative attribution of the poormark group is due to unstable internal factors，uncontrollable external factors，and little attention to the basic knowledge of language as well. Meanwhile，the frequency of employing different learning strategies in the poor-mark group is lower than that in the highmark
group. Besides，the two groups differ from each other considerably in terms of cognitive competence. Finally，the results of the research enlighten us to concern about the backwash effect of TEM8 on daily teaching.

It was in the Beisong Dynasty that Confucian Classic argumentation became a style of examinations，and the structure of it was always based on four parts until Hongwu sixth year(AD1373) in Ming Dynasty. However，as a style of examinations，the characteristics of adapting to the development of the period of the times decided its changes of the structure. Therefore，through the development of Song Dynasties the structure of Confucian Classic argumentation reached such a stage that was complicated and confusing. So，the people of Yuan Dynasty simplified its structure form. Because the structure of Confucian Classic argumentation at the first exam in Ming Dynasty still followed the one in Yuan Dynasty，it is said that it still remained with the style of Yuan Dynasty.

For the matter of contemporary Tibet，we often only passively defend against the West，thus falling into the western
discourse trap. In general，the West appears stronger whereas we weaker in terms of international discourse power for the matter of Tibet. We believe that the core matter of discourse power is psychological recognition. So only deeply root in psychological recognition， can we really establish a strategic plan of international discourse power for the matter of Tibet.

The difficult points in teaching lie in the abstract and professional nature of vocalization training，which determines the hard and long process of learning. The countermeasures are to teach and train students to build up confidence，know the difficulty correctly，pay great attention to basic training，have an excellent singing condition，develop a correct concept of voice，practice articulating correctly and clearly，control breath freely，feel and grasp emotions in the song，and realize the artistic distillation.
