那个女生说1)她这不公平,可以开车把东西弄回家去,但是她的roommate就难办了. 2)没有必要worry地盘不够用,好象是说的dorm可以放吧
口3.proposal of adding seats in the Andreson Theater
要求概括这个proposal以及一个女生的反对。
A.seats不够,很多show是学生们想去但买不了票的-反对:只有少数是这样,大部分show都有位子,所以没需要加seats
B.学校能通过更多位子卖更多票增加收入-反对:收入个毛,这是big investment, construction cost a lot, 而且take years去收回老本。
Task3:
reading: university theter is planning to prohibit eating food in the stadium reason1: eating is a distraction to other members in the show, and avoid eating increase the experience reason 2: students do not bring the waste out of the stadium- forget to dispose. listening: the woman agree with th notice reason1: noise. someone eats popcorn and distracts her. reason2: dirty. someone leaves the popcorn box in the stadium.
Task3:
【学校通知】:announcement学校计划要搞library expansion:把图书馆旁边的student center改造成new library,从而increase library space。好处1、有更多的空间摆放更多书shelves、存放更多媒体materials。好处2、摆放更多桌椅,让学生有更多地方自习。
【学生态度】:男生反对。理由1、学校应该用technology手段而非扩建图书馆以节省space,比如将资料扫描成electronic copy储存到电脑里可以节省空间。理由2、同学们爱去student center自习,不爱去图书馆。学校减小学生中心只能导致学生自习空间更少。
版本二
听力材料讲,男学生不同意,1说学生可以在student center学习即使扩建还是满屋子书架,学习空间大不了哪去。
第三题:阅读说学校图书馆要给更多的space吧。然后听力反对,说更多space不好,2点理由,第一说图书馆可以用电子化书籍,用电脑,电脑比shelf占的地方小多了。第二貌似是说有个student center还是哪里,中间有个xx,有很大的space,可以在那里放些桌子,这样同学们可以到那里去学习,这样图书馆就有更多地方放shelf
口语三:给大学新生建议周末去野营,并且学校提供道具和方案,女的不同意,理由1第一年应该在学校校园环境理由2装备很贵,一年只用一次,性价比不高。
【学生困难】:
很多人想报short story course,因此要交一篇short story,教授觉得合适的人录取,但女生擅长的是写poem。
【解决方案】:
第一个方案:按要求写short story,但是女生从没读过,也没时间(要考试),要写也只能草草写;
第二个方案:该女生擅长写诗,交一篇以前写的诗歌,但怕老师直接拒绝了。
【问题】:
Briefly summarize the problem and two possible solutions. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.
3. Library to offer reference materials online only
Reading: The library decides no longer keep paper copies because run out of space on shelves.
Conversation: 男表示都在线查资料太棒了。因为男在图书馆工作,深有体会。书记资料太多,整理很麻烦,学生检索起来也不是很方便。女表示没有意识到会有这么大的问题。男的反问女的你上次什么时候去的图书馆查资料还记得吗,表明去图书馆查阅纸质资料的人其实也不是很多。女的同意,表示反正宿舍也有电脑,查阅起来也很方便。
QUESTION: Please express his opinion, state his opinion and explain his reason for holding his ideas.
口3
阅读材料是学校通知下学期将开设interview skill workshop,会请外面的职业人士来学校模拟interview,帮学生更好的准备以后找工作。
对话里两个人都很喜欢这个program,因为1,附近的其他学校都没有开设这个program,所以他们会变得competitive;2,除了能教你skill,meeting and chatting with这些不同行业的人能够build up connections。
3
阅读:一个校报letter说一个学生提意见说图书馆家具沙发太烂要求换新的,理由是大家经常去图书馆学习希望more relaxing 更舒适
听:女生反对,说太relaxing反而不利于学习,因为太舒服了很容易就没心思学习了,光休息了。她建议说换家具不如多装一些电门,因为学生都是带laptop去的,经常不够用。这个更necessary
口语三,学校调整住宿政策,大一只和大一住,因为大一新生之间要多了解交流,并且学校提供不混住的宿舍会吸引到更多学生。对话中女生觉得这样很没必要,因为:1新生已经有很多机会相互了解了,比如活动什么的,而且他们很多课都一起上;2很多学生喜欢混住的宿舍,包括包括她就是被这种mixed type吸引的,因为前辈可以给他们经验和建议。
3
阅读:a letter about humanistic study lounge
听力:男的说真不错,这样就不用浪费时间了,不用跑多个地方去上课了,来去各10分钟,课间30分钟,如果有了这个,就可以在一个地方不用跑了。另外,有的课很难,有助于学生们交流提供一个场所,比如Hamlet很难,找不到同学讨论,如果有lounge 就不一样了,可以在一起讨论解决。
口语三:学校计划不再免费提供打印材料,并限定每个学生每个月只能打印100张。理由1、浪费纸张太多。理由2、打印机经常卡纸。
女生不同意:一,研究论文过程中打印的纸张不能算作浪费;打印机卡纸是因为机器本身太旧。
3.university should sponsor organized a bus trips for 1st years tudents. 1. 1st year students don't have a car, 2. senors can be more familiar with the city.
The woman thinks it is a good idea. First, the city is far from campus, and no public transportation available. Second, because there is no bus, she did not know the time and place for music concerts.
S3
阅读里说学校决定取消夏天的早餐服务,因为吃饭的学生不多,而且想吃的人也可以到附近的咖啡厅吃早餐。听力里女生不同意,因为很多学生夏天也会在校上课,需要早餐提供体力,另外去其他咖啡厅吃早餐价格太贵。
S3
Reading: Proposal of selling snack and drinks in the campus bookstore.
Reasons: 1. It provides students with food and drinks when they are finding books to read. 2. Students may get hungry during class breaks.
Listening: Disapproval 1. Students may spill drinks on books and ruin them. Some books are expensive. 2. There is already a convenience store in campus close to the building where classes are held. Students are unlikely to go to the other side of the campus to buy food from the book store.
口语三:
版本一:文中说下学期开始,学生将不被允许在学生活动中心外面的墙上张贴海报,因为海报使建筑难看,海报可以贴在餐厅的海报栏里。女生不认同,她说如果不给贴,那个建筑就会变的很boring,就是光秃秃的水泥墙,海报使建筑看上去有艺术感,使它具有性格和个性,海报常常变化,也使得建筑不那么沉闷。关于海报贴在餐厅外,女孩说不是所有人都在餐厅吃饭,课后有的人吃点零食,有的在外面吃从家带来的饭,这样的话,他们就看不到贴在餐厅外的海报,可能会错过很多
版本二:
【Proposal】
The university prohibit students riding bicycles on campus next semester.
【Reasons】
1. There are some minor accidents. The university will reduce the accidents caused by riding bicycles.
2. Students can take free campus buses. So it will not affect students much. Listening
The girl disagrees. 【Reasons】
1. The accidents took place at night because of low visibility.
2. Free buses are not convenient. Buses are only available once an hour and waiting for
buses is a waste of time.
口语三:学校报社计划推出一个pro-peering?project,即,在学生提交Paper前,报社人员帮助同学修改,有利于balabala
女生觉得不好, 1)报社人员也是学生,不一定给出什么好建议。
2)即使好建议,也不利于学生的长远发展,还是培养独立意识比较好。
Task3:
图书馆furniture旧了,换新的,原因一:舒服二:吸引更多人来图书馆。
女生不同意:沙发软容易困,不集中精力;现在人少是因为很多人用电脑,但是电源插头不够。
TASK3
3.Letter: 学校应该让大家在注册了课程之后立马能够拿到课程的书单,这样能够有两个好处。第一,给学生足够的时间去找到价格低廉的教科书。第二,给学生足够的时间开始为这门课做准备。
To make the book list available to students immediately after the registration
1)Give students time to search for low price textbooks
2)Let them have time start preparing for the course
Conversation: 男生完全同意信的内容
1)学校书店新书太贵,二手书很便宜,但是数量少,而且卖的非常快。这样之后可以有足够的时间去不同地方找便宜的二手书
2)开学了之后会很忙碌,有很多的reading要做。而开学之前就比较闲,有很多的空闲时间,可以利用起来阅读。
TASK3
3.图书馆规定加一个人proposal: against the libraries’ regulation that students shouldn’t use cell phones in the library and students should turn off their cell phone before entering. Two reasons: students are considerate enough to keep their voices low when answering calls just like they do when talking to other people in the library; they occasionally have important calls, so they need to keep the cell phone turned on in order not to miss them.
一个男生和女生讨论,女生的观点是这个proposal很挫,因为:1. If students answer calls, they have to whisper, but the other side听不清楚,so they have to raise their voices up, thus distracting other students; 2. 如果他们有重要的电话,可以check outside the library from time to time. (再次重复一遍这个意思)
3,校园里建museum. 男生不同意。一是downtown有周末还免费二是都建图书馆和学生中心,没钱建博物馆。
Task3;
一个女生和一个男生对话,女生说a few students’ art works were chosen 在一个art exhibit上展出;男生sounds great, so you are one of them;女生说是的,但是问题来了,她的那幅画太大,is a 3-meter canvas,会超出展览方给的limited exhibiting space.男生说真的吗?女生说,对的,他们不愿意给我更大的space, because that will be unfair for other students. 接着说,但我可以把我的一副older painting拿去展出(one suggestion),which is smaller.男生说可以啊;女生说,但是那幅画是我以前画的,而我的technique has improved a lot since then,所以那幅画不能体现我的真实水平;男生说,那要不你draw a new one by the next week(第二个suggestion);女生说其实也可以,但是我最近很busy,有a couple of exams coming.
3
A letter from a student to campus newspaper: Graduation speakers should be business leaders: 1. business leaders are excellent role models. They are successful and influential, earn high wages; 2. Inviting business leaders to speak will be beneficial to the school’s largest and best business program.因此更多人会知道。By Ryan Brown
Listening: 男生说你看到ryan给学校写的那封信了吗?女孩说看到了,我觉得其实这样不好,因为people from other professions can also be successful and influential;男生说意思是要增加variety吗?女生说对,比如可以邀请teachers,很多teacher也会对学生产生深远的影响;男生问,那他说的可以benefit我们学校的business program这一点呢?女生说:其实这个business program is successful and famous enough, so it doesn’t deserve extra free advertising. 相反,如果邀请教师,会对我们学校的education program产生良好影响
3. Library to offer reference materials online only
Reading: The library decides no longer keep paper copies because run out of space on shelves.
Conversation: 男表示都在线查资料太棒了。因为男在图书馆工作,深有体会。书记资料太多,整理很麻烦,学生检索起来也不是很方便。女表示没有意识到会有这么大的问题。男的反问女的你上次什么时候去的图书馆查资料还记得吗,表明去图书馆查阅纸质资料的人其实也不是很多。女的同意,表示反正宿舍也有电脑,查阅起来也很方便。
QUESTION: Please express his opinion, state his opinion and explain his reason for holding his ideas.
3. Reading part: Nowadays university news station hire students from different majors to write articles for the newspaper, while in the future, the news station should only hire journalism students to write. In this way, they can keep students who are really interested in news, and can have more articles completed.
Listening part: Disagree
1) Students in other major may also be interested in writing news piece, so the university should also encourage those students to write for newspaper. Take him for example, he’s now majored in history but he wants to enter news industry in the future.
2) Extra articles don’t help. There’s no point to have too much articles coming in, because the station may not have the resource and time to deal with so many articles. The process of preparing an article is complicated, which includes the efforts of both the editors and writers. The writers write first and hand in to editors for reviewing, and then back to the writers to edit, and then back to the editors for final editing.
口3
Reading:
学生写信,学校咖啡厅提供beverages and cookies很好,但建议增加两项:
一些如sandwiches这样难吃的食物
more light music
Listening:
The woman agrees with the proposal,具体两点进行支持:
the cookies don't really help much when she's hungry,所以的确要有一些其他吃的
the music there is too noisy now, she has to go back to her dorm to read instead of reading there
口语三:
Reading:Proposal:The lounge in the dorm should be changed into study room. Reason 1:People can go there to study.
Reason 2:The study room should be eqipped with computers. Listening:The man agrees.
Reason 1:It's too noisy in the lounge because people watch TV there,and the dorm rooms can be noisy too because the roommate is always on the phone or listening to music,and they have nowhere to study.
Reason 2: Computers make it so much more conveninent to study,because not everyone has a computer, sometimes they have to go to the library to use the computers there and the library is closed when it's too late.
口语三:学校报纸上有个建议将在校生和alumni联系,讨论career和activities,女学生对话里说,她认为学生现在很忙,没有时间拜访,而且学生已经有学校家长给他们建议了,太多的建议只会更加confusing
3
newspaper上有人写信说建议在宿舍增加厨房和冰箱等设备,让学生在宿舍做饭。男生同意,说GREAT IDEA,然后说可以食堂可供选择的总是不想吃的,还可以几个人一个组做饭,learn from each other之类的. 那个男生最后还说了一点paragraph以外的理由,即after graduation students will need to live alone and cook their own food anyway. 因此在学校就开厨房做饭可以learn some practical life skills。
The letter proposes the school should open classes outside the classroom because good scenery will make the students focus and avoid boredom and the school has installed some benches and seats outside.
The student disagrees with the proposal.
First, there are too many distractions outside. Students will be distracted when friends are passing through.
Second, there aren’t enough seats available, it’s inconvenient for students to take notes if they have to stand there.
阅读:教授要求学生在上讨论课程前发email给她。
The email from a professor says that require students submit her two questions about the reading material one day ahead on class discussion.
听力:男学生认为很好,1)说可以节省时间,并举例上上次讨论花费太长时间。 2)预习课程不仅有利于讨论,并对课程结束时的paper有很有好处,提供很多好idea 和topic.
There are two beneficial. First, it can to promote students finish reading assignment better. Second, it can add class discussion to aim at students’ interests. The man agrees with the professor’s requirement about the discussion for two reasons. Firstly, he thinks it is good for the discussion part because it would save time. Last time, it took him a long time to finish discussion. Second, it is useful for their finals. Because students have interesting ideas ready and they are easy to write paper.
Question:Explain the man’s opinion and why she holds that opinion.
版本一:【主题】A letter to a university, Witten by a girl .Seats are planning to
be built outside (on the lawn).
【1观点】男反对:
【2理由】【1】.Another dining room is closed .l t will be better if that dining room is open , and students can use both.
【2】. Some people will play soccer on the lawn ,and they will hit some people. 版本二:【主题】在食堂附近的草地上设些桌椅
【理由】【1】.食堂太挤,【2】.可以享受好天气
【1观点】男的不认为这是个好主意。
【2理由】【1】.还有食堂其它的halls可以用,只要学生们不要只集中在一个hall里用餐就可以解决这个拥挤的问题了。【2】.好像是室外草地可以用于运用
3 Reading:大学准备关闭学生的art gallery。
Listening: 男生反对该决议:1. 该大学艺术系学生多,作品来源不成问题。2. 学校的宣传做得不好,经常是展览结束后了,才有介绍文章出来,大家都不知道有展览。
附录原文:
W: Did you read the school newspaper? The art galley will be closed in a few days.
M: Hum, I knew the decision. You know what? I am going to write an e-mail to Dean to complain about this plan.
W: So, what are you complaining about? It looks they have done nothing wrong about it. You know, not too many art majors take the advantage of the gallery and display their works there.
M: Ah, that is true, obviously. But...but they see only part of the truth.
W: What do you mean?'
M: Well, let me put it this way. The reason that many majors don't display their works in the gallery is that they take the chance of exhibiting in the gallery very seriously. So they always wait until everything is perfect before sending their works to the exhibition.
W: Aha, I didn't know it before. But how would you explain that only very few students come to the gallery even during the period of exhibition?
3

announcement: Ice-skating rink will be converted into student house holding.理由: 1, not enough space to hold all the students in campus 所以要改建滑冰场给新生做宿舍2, 那座building is convenience, near town.
conversation: the man disagrees with the change.
理由: 1, 很多学生都喜欢去那里滑冰,是一个有趣的场所,企鹅附近没有那样的场地了。
2, 学生住的地方应该里教室图书馆等地近才好,如果有学生住到改建的那里要来回折腾,浪费时间。
口語三::学校组织meeting邀请教职员工和学生参加以了解学校发展,在主会场和俩分会场举行;分会场人不能提问。女生反对,认为可以把报告放到学校网站,一来所有人都能了解全部内容,如果meeting的话不是所有人都能参加;二来可以发邮件提问演讲者解答疑惑,meeting的话分会场人不能提问

阅读,两种方法提高读者数量,降价和送货上门。听力,女学生不同意, 1价格已经很便宜了50分,价格没什么影响。2 没有那么多工作人员,没有人力和车
口语三:【学生倡议】:有一个学生在校报上发表了一个 proposal, 建议学校设立student committee审查给每个社团的预算,因为:1. 学生更了解学生组织;2. 能够锻炼学生的领导力。
【学生态度】:男生反对:
1. not objective and not fair, 学生会给朋友或自己的社团更多钱;
2. 大多数学生没兴趣,而且都很 busy,没人愿意 volunteer 他们的时间在这个committee 上。
口语三:reading: proposal:the student suggests to cancel the school news annoucement.
reason1: Not helpful ,because it is provided at the very beginning of the semester,most students would forget the news later.
reason2: Not necessary,because the news have already been posted on websites.
listnensing:the woman disagrees
reason1: It is useful sometimes.For example,she bought cheap books in the book fair because she saw the news,it helped her save a lot of money.
reason2: It is not realistic to hope that students would check websites often.They have other things to do,for instance classes and on-campus events.

阅读:campus gym要关闭一个月改善更衣室和淋浴间。在这期间市中心的gym对学生免费开放。学校认为这很convenient
听力:女生觉得没必要整个gym都关闭,可以到寝室换衣服洗澡。觉得也不convenient因为走去市中心要半个小时,锻炼完走回来会很累
TASK3
R: There is a proposal that the theater assistants should be paid and trained.
L: The man holds a positive attitude towards it.
1) Firstly, he says that most assistants have their main job. For example, one of his friends gave up the rehearsal because it conflicts with his boss's job.
2) Furthermore, he says the training will help the assistants work better. Some professional staffs teach the assistant how to use the equipments will also improve the quality of the play
口语三:
阅读:学校打算在寝室加装电脑with Internet。有人在等的时候,每个人限用10分钟。
听力:一个女生赞同。因为:一,这样她有时候忘记查邮件或者要出去但是忘记路线了,查起来就方便了,不用go all the way down back to her room。因为她住四楼。二,有些人总是坐在电脑面前发信息,而有些同学是急着用电脑写paper的。

大学计划close down 洗照片的暗室the photography darkroom。理由有二:理由1、现在,many students use their own digtal cameras,所以很少有人会到darkroom去冲洗照片。理由2、学校的money is scarce,学校应该用the saved money improve academic programs,而非把钱浪费在photographing这种minor hobby上面。女生反对。理由1:还是有很多人使用both traditional cameras and digital cameras。handle ordinary pictures,用数码相机。prefessional摄影师需要用traditional cameras去capture照片background details。而这是用digital camera很难做到的。所以,darkroom有用,不能关。理由2、女生认为photographing is not merely a hobby,更是一项special skill,可以help students find jobs in the future。例如她一个学姐就是靠photographing skills found a job as a professional photographer。

阅读:【大学通知】:美国大学要求参加西班牙Spain留学交换项目的美国学生到西班牙以后住校live on campus。好处1、住宿费便宜cheap。好处2、可以和native Spanish speaker住在一起,有利于学习西班牙语learn language(Spanish)和西班牙文化。
听力:【学生议论】:女生反对此计划。理由1、其实学生在校园周边也能找到便宜的房子。她举了她sister home stay的例子。她已经找到一个本地家庭local family愿意租,房租相当便宜。理由2、和美国学生住在一起,大家都说英语,没法学习improve西班牙语言和文化。所以要搬出去住,只是不要说英语。
Question:Explain the woman’s opinion towards the school announcement and why she holds that opinion.
Task 3
increasing attendance on student art show。给学生发邮件通知,时间改在学期中而非学期末。女生同意,1.作为艺术系的学生,很需要看这种照片,现在用邮件通知,知道的人多了,去的人就多了。2.期末事太多,大伙儿都呆在屋里或者图书馆,如果改在其中,大家就有时间去了。
阅读里面说学生建议取消读诗会,因为很少有人参加,而且可以从图书馆借CD来听。听力里女生不同意,因为现在读诗会只会在网站上发通知,如果他们能在教室、图书馆和学生中心还有报纸这些其他形式上也加以通知,肯定会有更多人来。而且参加读诗会和听CD感觉不同,可以make eye contact, use body language,和其他人分享这种经历。
阅读:学校要建一个new art museum,因为:别的很多学校都有,然后可以提高学生鉴赏力
听力:男生不同意。1、说downtown也有museum,好像还有个大师在那里有展览,学生Monday free;2、这是个expensive project,学校不舍得花钱啦~
女生遇到困难:她想上Professor Cline的creative writing class,但是她上课后发现班里人太多,太crowd,无法更好地和教授同学互动。共有两种解决方法:1、上另一个教授的写作课。但女生说她不知道另一个教授会不会和Professor Cline一样好。 2、上下个学期同一个老师的课。下学期的课在早上,人应该会少,但是女生说她想现在就得到feedback。

Task3:
学校改变了一个学期一次的art什么东西变成一学期两次,还加上要paper.男生反对 (the man is against this for the following reasons),有两点不喜欢被强迫(don't feel like being pressed to do something),没有时间。
口4是讲一个概念,忘记了这个概念是什么,但是意思是老师对一个学生的印象往往来自于别的老师的评价和别的学生的印象,但是这样的印象往往是不准确的。音频提供的例子是教授交六年级学生的时候有一个同学特别安静。教授布置了一个任务,以为这个学生太安静了而不能完成。。但是最后是这个学生做的最好。
口4.讲distraction display动物们会把predator吸引走,来保护自己的幼仔。for example, 什么Mourning dove(读音是这样)Mourning doves build their nests on the ground, so they are more exposed and vulnerable to large predators. 像狐狸。如果adult dove看到狐狸就会立马做出反应,它会飞开自己的巢,装作自己的wing是broken的,让狐狸以为自己是一个easy victim.其实不是。adult dove把狐狸吸引到很远的地方后,自己再突然逃脱,它Nest里的Young dove就安全了(貌似这个distraction display在TPO的听力里出现过。)
口语四:
一个说学校要建个图书馆但是会覆盖了原有用来hang out 的地方
一个女生是一个组织的代表想申请一个event 去表示他们组织的反对
*问到为什么Dean 要问她组织里有多少人

阅读:文章介绍一种艺术作品, 并且给出了定义, 然后介绍了2种类型
听力:讲座介绍分别举例子介绍这两种类型:第一种好像介绍了一个浴缸, 艺术家在其外面 cover rubber, make it yellow, 参观者觉得很漂亮, 没有想到这种平常的东西会如此soft, smooth;第二种好像说的是撑衣架, 是factory manufactured, 没有经过任何modification, just stay as it usually looks like. 同样让人们惊叹好看
口4
business class讲lateral view(侧面观点).就是从一个新的观点来看问题.
对话里的教授举了一个例子:一个经营宾馆的人老遭到顾客抱怨说等电梯时间太长.然后经理先去找了电梯生产商,发现解决问题成本太高.然后他的员工给他提意见说可以在电梯前装个电视,顾客就不觉得无聊了.问题让你用这个例子来说明lateral view.
口语四:短文说:商业上经常采用分类的方式来标记商品,商品按照大众认识的分类,就可以被找到.在商品的分类上创新,可以增加用户对商品的注意,增加销售量..
lecture:以手表为例,人们以前把它认为是一种昂贵而严肃的珠宝产品,做工精细,用于看时间,可以保存很长时间。但一个公司创造性地把它定位在流行时尚和有趣的产品上,它由塑料制造而不再是金属,也不贵了。
口4
讲joint verture 一个公司和一个公司合作创立第三个公司,平分利润。
听力老师用个一个tv 公司想要build一个网站post the news 但是他们没有高人帮他们弄网站,就找了一帮高人有着很强电脑技能,to design and maintain the website. they will provide the news. the profit made by third company is adversitment in the website, they 平分利润。
口语四:permeable group的概念,意即相比于一些封闭的动物种群,有一些动物种群的group愿意接纳外界的个体加入group一起生活,相互交流一些经验。Lecture中,professor举了female chimpanzee的例子,chimpanzee到了十岁的时候就会离开家庭,独自寻找一个group生活。而新的group也很乐意接纳她,因为她会带来一些新的知识。比如说在捕食上,由于她从另一个地方来,她在捕食ant的时候采取一种借助stick的方式,即让ant都从stick的一端爬上,然后她再在另一端等着吃掉它们。这个group里的其他成员会看着她完成这一切,记录下来并应用到以后的生活中。
口语四,阅读讲Test Marketing用来测试潜在客户对一个产品的反应,帮助公司对产品的问题进行修改,听力里举了电影公司的例子。比如他们做一个动画片给小孩看,但他们没有经验,所以就找来一些小孩看这部片子并且问他们最喜欢的角色,小孩都说喜欢里面的狗,于是公司以此为判断,把狗作为了动画片的主角,然后大获成功。
口4. internal competition
reading passage:
companies have some successful products 占据市场;但它们会introduce new products, 于是consumers 不买旧的买这个公司新的了。所以internal competition 意味着同个公司内部new products 抢了established products的profits,简单来说就是公司内部自己的新旧产品之间竞争。但这是没办法的,必须引进新产品,因为新产品才能和别的公司竞争
lecture:
教授说自己当教授前是一个automobile公司的总监之类的,他们公司之前有个top sell的small cars, 长得不好看但实用安全。后来别的公司的车挺时尚的,于是他公司为了竞争也产了一款新的more stylish的车。于是他公司的拥趸不买旧款买新款了。但这是必须的,因为为了come up with 其他公司,与其他公司竞争
Task4:
【名词解释】:friend affiliation(群体归属)refers to the people’s desire to be a member of a certain group。广告商make advisement by using people’s affiliation有两种方法:一是利用其positive effect,通过宣扬广告产品可以增加affiliation,在朋友之间寻求認同。二是利用其negative方法,如果用别的brand产品就会失去affiliation。
【教授举例】:为一个软饮料公司策划一个ad campaign,可有两种方案:第一种方案:在一个happy party里,everybody都drink the same kind of新brand的soda,都很happy。The soda becomes a very important thing in this situation。第二种方案:some young people are watching a football game in a stadium,突然 one of them drink a wrong brand of soda,then all the people become quite and 用奇怪的眼神look at him,and leave him alone,even his best friend left him。Then he realized he made a big mistake to drink the wrong kind soda。这是从negative入手让观众喜欢这个牌子的soda。问教授是怎么说明reading passage中的观点的。

Task4:
阅读话题是biological mimicry,即科学家通过观察动植物的生活习惯和生活方式获得灵感,把其中的一些值得借鉴的方式应用到人类生活中。听力里professor谈论的是一种叫lily pad的宽大扁平的植物(睡莲叶),一般漂浮在水面上,根茎在水中,科学家们由此发明了solar lily pads,一种太阳能装置,扁平的太阳能panel漂浮在水中,而发电装置放置在水中,可以大面积吸收太阳能然后快速转换成电能,为人类生产生活服务。
【讲课要点】:
古人要使火不灭,需要学习两方面的知识。1、technological skill:燃烧的木头可能是因为闪电引起的。一开始人不知道,后来他们发现木头其实是一种fuel,如果往火里不停加木头,火就能一直烧下去。2、social skill:大家如果都睡觉的话,火就会灭掉,学会轮班加木头,火就能一直烧下去。
The lecture is about early human how to keep fire burning. Two ways one is find the fuel first such as tree woods. Second is social work such as cooperation, because they have to take turns to look after the fire to keep it burning all the time

听力:例子是一video
game company颠覆传统,用感应人的动作的movement
sensor代替controller(不就是wii吗。。。。。。),市场反应很好。于是另外一家公司马上效仿这个做法,而且还improve了他们的graphic

Reading: Compound Nesting (biology) two species live together, which are different enough not to compete for food.
Listening: example of Ants in Africa. The bigger ant collects food, and the smaller one eats the left over scrambles. For the smaller one, it doesn't need to search for food. For the bigger one, the smaller one makes the nest clean by eating the left over food, which prevents bacteria.
口语四:
版本一:说的是animal coloration,说是动物会具有一种独特的颜色,这种颜色会警告它的捕食者,如果被侵犯,它就会攻击,吃过苦头的攻击者下次见到这种颜色的动物就会避而远之。教授说了一个例子,skunk臭鼬是一种全身黑的动物,只有一缕白毛从头部延伸到尾巴,它被攻击时会竖起毛,尾巴上的腺体喷出十分难闻的气体。比如说一只狼接近它,它就会把这种难闻的液体喷狼一身,由于这种液体十分的恶心难闻,狼就记住了这种动物的颜色特征,下次这只狼再看到全身黑,背上有从头到尾巴的白毛的动物就会远远的避开。
版本二:
Test costumers, are people who are hired by employers to evaluate the employees’
performance during work. They pretend to be normal customers. 【Examples】
A restaurant manager wanted to observe how well the waitress and waiter did. She watched in person, but it was successful, because people who were observed behaved better than usual. So, she hired a man who pretended to be a normal customer in the restaurant, and ask employees questions, then the man gave the manager a feedback about employees behavior, for example, whether she is friendly and polite.

4.讲的是procedural memory
文章:procedural记忆和普通的记忆不一样(比如记住名字啥的),它是一种时间中根据步骤step by step而记下来的。是能够自动automatically执行的记忆(act automatically if frequently practiced)。
讲座:男教授用自己学和弹吉他的经验来说明这个procedural memory
他开始学吉他的时候,从如何hold住琴,如何place fingers开始到练习弹奏歌曲。每次回去之后都会练习很久,一段时间之后,他可以拿起琴就知道如何放手指,轻松的弹奏歌曲。但是有段时间有事儿,没有空练习(貌似是好几年)。当他再有机会拿起琴的时候,他以为自己忘了如何弹奏。可是当他拿起琴之后,他就知道怎样放手指,并且弹奏歌曲了。

Task4;
Reading:
Professor evaluation
这个student写了个letter给校方希望能改变professor evaluation,which is carried out at the end of every class,的方式。之前的evaluate之后都是教授自己看,不具有公开性;所以学生propose to put the evaluations online. 有两个好处:1. Professors will get more motivated to improve his teaching skills if he knows that the evaluations will go public. 2. 学生也可以通过这些评估做出more informed decision as to which course to take.
Listening:
男生女生对话,男生说,哎挺好的啊。女生说,我觉得一点都不好。教授肯定feel not happy about his course being publicly criticized,他不会take it seriously 而这些evaluation也不会influence他的Teaching skill。男生说,但至少学生们表达的自己的观点啊。女生说:这就是问题所在。The evaluations are usually 在the end of the last class举行,很多学生都in a hurry to leave,所以不会take the evaluation seriously ,也不会提一些specific的建议。
4. 女孩说summer is coming,你都准备好了干什么啊?男生说准备去professor的lab里面做一个chemistry research internship,女生说seems that you are all set。男生说其实没有,还有很多问题。我的这个internship is unpaid, but I need to earn money.女生说我听说campus book store在招人,你可以work in the lab during weekdays and go to the book store at weekends.男生说then I cannot relax much.女生说倒也是,或者你可以ask your professor to see whether you can share then internship with others.你就可以在没有工作的那几天出去赚钱。男生说,对的,我听说以前也出现过几个人share这个position的情况,the professor was fine with it. 女生赞同,男生说但是那样我就不能learn as much as I can if I do it for full-time. I cannot follow up with the experiments and results.
4.vertical migration
Reading: we usually associate migration with birds. But other species do migration too. 目的:warm climate and more favorable condition for reproduction.
Lecture: squid. 每天晚上它会在水的表面找东西和活动,会一直到天明。但是白天的时候会回到水的下面,因为上层不安全,阳光容易使得squid很容易捕猎者发现,所以它需要刀深水来躲避。
QUESTION: Use details from the reading and lectures to explain vertical migration and how it benefits the squid.
4. Reading part: Nectar Corridor
Nectar corridor is a distinctive type of migratory corridor comprised of a series of stepping stones placed in a dissimilar matrix. Some of the migratory species time their migration to match the flowering and fruiting of various food plants. The flowing plants serve as nectar trials to fuel their flights. In the process of moving from one plant to another, these species are not only feeding, they are also pollinating.
Listening part: A species called Rufous Hummingbird follows the nectar corridor. They migrate each fall to southern Mexico, feeding off flowering plants on their way. In the spring they again follow the nectar trail as they return to Northern California, Washington and the Rocky Mountains and well into southern Alaska. This small bird plays an important role in plant reproduction by moving pollen from plant to plant on its winter grounds, breeding grounds, and any area over which it migrates. From Alaska to Mexico and throughout the western US, the Rufous Hummingbird drinks nectar and pollinates flowers year-round throughout the habitat that it visits annually.
How does the example in the listening part explain the concept of priority effects?
口4
Reading:

lecture:作者自己experience:儿子要ice-cream机,pro说那玩意太复杂买回来也不会整啊,结果偶然看到modeling的AD还有演示(step by step),说这个简单又快捷,于是乎就买了,最后教授承认真的很好用。
Population cycle in ecology system: mice and wolf. Wolf is the predator and mice is the prey. There are three steps:1. When mice are numerous, wolves have enough food. Then the number of mice decreases and the wolves get increased.
2. When the number of mice decreases, the wolves lack of food and then the number of wolves decreases. Later the number of mice increases. 3. It turns back to step one.
版本一:【讲座主题】Reading: ln the world of animals ,一些动物confronting and fighting
Against predators.
【相关例子】Lecture: A kind of dove always likes to build the nest on the ground .
Lt′s easy to hurt .When the fox comes ,one dove always pretends to be
hurt, and cannot fly(luring ).So the small dove will survive.
版本二:文章distraction display
讲座:教授举了一个例子某种鸟把窝建得高,很多动物就够不着了,但有一种什么狐狸还可以够得着,会伤它们的鸟宝宝和打破它们的蛋,所以成年鸟就会转移这些狐狸的注意力,把它们引到远离它们的窝的地方,当它们达到目的后也逃走从而保护了它们的孩子。这种行为就是文章里说的distraction display。

听力:example是fig tree。有人把这种树种到yard里,但是它就只长在这yard里不会传播到别的地方,因为这树本来是在Asia, Asia有一种insect叫什么wass(音)的来传播他的seed才能reproduce。然后这种insect accidently 也到了美国以后,fig tree就开始reproduce到各个地方了。然后他就在一些区域dominant了,那里原本的植物就没了
口語四:closeness-communication bias:人们以为自己对亲近的朋友交流更有效实际上不是的,可能对陌生人更有效因为人们认为朋友会自动了解自己的意思基于相同的经历。例子是教授叫一个老朋友jack和一个不太熟悉的新教授聚会,在一个意大利餐馆。他告诉jack the Italian restaurant,以为jack知道是哪里。但是告诉新教授全名。结果后者到了准确的地点jack去了另一家餐馆

natural consequence 阅读讲的小孩做错事,大人口语不用惩罚,由着做错事的结果来惩罚孩子。听力,教授给了个例子,教授5岁的女儿经常把玩具放在后院,平常教授都帮女儿收拾。一天女儿还是把玩具放在后院,教授没有帮收拾,那天晚上下雨,把她的玩具损坏了,女儿在这件事后认识到自己的错,以后再也不帮玩具放后院了。
口语四:【名词解释】:scope creep: ask for more than origin
【教授举例】:教授举了他 friend 的例子。他的 friend开了一个建筑公司,要帮一个女的建一个 fence yard, 他们只是 verbally 说了,没有签合同。快完工时,女的说要他paint white。 friend 说只是帮忙建 fence,女的说聘请他的时候以为还会帮忙涂颜色。经过争论后,friend 答应帮她免费paint white, 但是很不高兴。
口语四:阅读:大概介绍了定义:人们通常为了遵守事先制定好的procedure,结果出现了事与愿违(unsuccessful)的情况。
听力:教授举例:school policy that students shouldn't be late,老师们为了让学生能够接受完整的教育(attend the entire class),规定学生按时到校上课,否则就不能进班,但是这个规定的结果就是,一旦学生迟到了,他们就一堂课都上不了,导致的结果反而更糟糕。
口语四
animals living in different places share the same eating hobby。住在Africa和Australia有两种动物。它们虽然生活在totally different places,但是它们吃东西的方法一样,就是有一种什么东西,很难吃到。它们都是make a hole, and then put their tongue in it。就是这样吃到的。
TASK4
R: The term is the subject-expectancy effective, it means that the thoughts of people will depends on what they already know.
L: (The professor) Well, today we will talk about the subject-expectancy effective. I will give some examples to illustrate this term. For instance, a manager told a group of officers that they will be offered more works and they should be more concentrated on it. However, the amount of works was the same as the amount before the officers were told, the results showed that the officers work harder before they were told, just because they knew there will be more works. Another experiment is a company gave their fatigue and tired workers a kind of vitamin which can energy people up, but actually the pills are normal placebo, the results showed that the work efficient improved after works took the fake vitamin.

Reading part
Listening part【名词解释】:
emotion display(情绪表达规则):
It means the expression of emotion depends on the society in which we are live
in.【教授举例】:
The professor uses an example of his 4-year-old daughter. She had a birthday
party. Prior to the party, parents told her that she should hide her negative
emotion when she did not like the gift received. Her grandmother gave her cute
clothes as a gift. But the girl did not like it and felt disappointed. Before
her negative emotion became too obvious, her mother said the clothes were very
cute. The girl suddenly realized that she should say thank you to grandmother
and she did that.
Question:用听力的例子来解释对这个概念的理解。

Task5;
Reading:
Reactance: 人们都很重视自己的freedom。因此当自己的行为被limited and自由受限by some rules and regulations时,人们尝试去逃脱这种限制。很多adults and children’s behavior are results of the urge to 重获 freedom. “Reactance” indicates people’s desire to reestablish freedom and break away from(具体的词组不是break away from,但意思一致) the control.
Listening:
两个例子可以验证reactance的现象:1. Imagine a child, who used to play very happily on the playground, having a lot of fun,但是突然有一天his parents don’t allow him to play on that playground again。小孩会感到很upset,于是他会sneak to the playground and play despite his parents’ rule. 2. A town recently ban on a kind of soap because it’s harmful to the environment. 但是这个ban 并没有降低the soap’s ability to clean things.因此人们会感到很upset,”why can’t I choose any type of soaps that I want?”因此人们会attempt to buy a large number of this kind of soaps, a lot more than they used to do, 尽管town会限制他们做这件事。
5. Impression management:
Reading: We often control or manage their impression unconsciously in order to convey information to influence how other people perceive us. 这种impression既可以是外表也可以是自己的行为。

Even before he starts, you can feel that he is taking the presentation very seriously and is very responsible. 2. 教授举了个自己的例子,校长第二天想take这个professor的 ride to school. Right before the day when I will take the ride, I took the trash out of the back of my car and even had my car washed. And when the president got in my car, I changed my radio music into classical music. But I even don’t like classical music.

口语六,城市温度比农村高的原因。一个是城市中的机器会释放各种热量,比如汽车释放尾气和热量,另外是城市当中黑色的东西更多,更易吸收光并转化为热量。比如concrete制成的深色马路和街道。
口6讲小动物们都喜欢成群结队出去玩去保护自己,捕食他们的动物有两个方法去吃他们。
1 找到一个有着不一样颜色的小动物,然后定位他,就吃他。例子是memo神马的 someone in the group will have unique color from others, the predador will go after him
2 他们还会把这些group break up, 然后小动物们紧张了,逃跑了,队伍就散了,然后捕食者就找一个group 去追神马啊。
口语六:6. telecommute。教授讲到现在的公司为了追求利润经常会采取telecommute的方式,意即通过email和telephone工作,而不再到办公室去上班。之后重点讨论了两个advantage:
• 首先,telecommute为公司带来了很多”overhead cut” ,即办公经费的开支。通过减少办公室面积和办公室的设备,公司节约了很多成本。比如说professor姐姐的公司,上一年要求25%的员工以telecommute的方式工作,结果到了年底节省了half million
• 其次,telecommute留住了以前必定要流失的人才。公司培养一个人才需要花很多的财力人力,而这些人才如果因为计划外原因流动出公司,会对公司造成极大的损失。Telecommute可以使这些员工即使流动到其他城市或国家也能参与工作,从而保证了工作效率并减少了人才方面带来的损失。Professor又举了她姐姐的例子,她姐姐本来要移到Texas去居住,因此不能继续参与原公司的工作,但公司提出可以让她以telecommute的方式继续工作,保障了公司的利益。
口语六:印刷术出现之前的出的出版和阅读都是不一样的......
从前的书是手抄本,抄写员会漏词、多词、或者拼错,导致每本书的内容都不一样,现在你到书店里去,看见一摞一样的书肯定内容都是一摸一样的。从前的书很贵和稀有,你有了一本就会有超多的人到你家里来看,大声地朗读出来。现在大家都买得起书啦,你可以一个人静静地看。

Task6:
Psychology!核心是人们做错事都会想一些explanation,而最常见的explanation是attribution和justification。Attribution指的是人犯了错然后认为是别的东西导致自己犯错,责任不在自己,又叫excuse。举例是她作为老师,经常收到学生诸如我闹钟坏了这样的迟到理由,表明他们自己不想迟到。Justification指的是人们确实有意识的做了这件所谓的错事,但做这件事的出发点是合理的,可被正名的。举例是她同样收到过这样的迟到理由,比如说某人去参加job interview而没去上课,觉得这个比上课更重要,这样的explanation就是justification,为自己的行为正名。
6. History of newspaper
在19世纪,只有少数人卖报纸,但是现在,大家都读报纸,为什么呢。
原因一:advance in technology. It is easy for publisher to produce a large quantity of newspaper. Late in 19th century, new technology made the printing process faster.
原因二:less expensive of newspaper. 因为newspaper publishers had other funding. And they are able to sell newspaper at low price. 因为有了广告,所以可以卖很低的价钱,甚至1 penny。
Question:explain two reasons for the growth in newspaper readership in the late nineteenth century.
口语六,讲如何推断出ancient climates。教授说可以研究化石,因为气候会对形成化石的微生物产生影响。举例,某种有硬壳的shellfish,壳里的镁含量和sea water temperature有关,温度高的时候镁的含量就高。所以就可以通过对比这种矿物质在化石和现在那个地方的shellfish壳里的含量,然后就知道气候变暖了还是变冷了。
口6
关于migrating animal's characteristics的,
一是这些migrating animal由于要做长途迁徙to reach their destination,会更focus,不会被别的东西easily disturb到,相对来说,local birds一发现food就很瞎乱兴奋。。。。。
二是migrating animal tend to move in straight line,
例子是migrating shark会用geomagnetism来定位直线移动,而local animal就倾向于瞎乱移动来找食物。。。。。。。
6
讲鸟类迁徙之前都会做一定的调整和改变,分两方面:1,body change:长途飞行需要大量能量,为了减少停下来的次数,会提前储存能量,吃多点存脂肪。2,习惯的改变:为了应对路上碰到的敌人,一些独来独往的鸟会开始social,结成group一起飞,比较安全。
口语六:biological 的课程
一群群居的动物,易感染疾病,以一个动物好像叫ann的为例,说明他们如何去defense会感染疾病。
1)。。。。。。sorry 脑子短路。。。。。。忘了。。。
2)他们会经常自我清洁,通过自我清洁可以避免感染。
要求概括一下课堂的内容,表述他们如何去defense的。
口语六

How do consumers reduce risks when purchasing?
(1) do a thorough research. Eg. If you want to buy a computer, you can search online to see which manufacture is better and see the reviews of other buyers.
(2) stay loyal to one brand or company. Eg. If you have bought a car that functioned well and lasted long, you want to stay with this company next time.
版本一:为什么有的事情会记得比别的事情清楚。两个原因,第一是如果你对这个事情预先有所了解,你就会记得比其他事情清楚,事后也更容易回忆起来。比如你去参加一个古典音乐会,如果你对古典音乐有比较多的了解,一年后让你回忆这个音乐会,你就很容易记起很多它的细节,相反你可能什么也想不起来。第二个原因是某些事物可能和其他的事物有比较大的区别,这些不同的事物更容易被记住,比如你去上大学里的一节大课,一年后让你回忆,你可能记起来的是那个个子非常高的男生,或是非常聪明的一个女孩。
版本二:
Film makers can choose two angles of camera to build characters images.
1: low angle, just like children look up to adults. It makes a character look really huge and powerful. For example, using low angles to make Queen Victoria look more prestigious. 2: high angle, put the character in a big environment, and make character look small and weak. For example, shooting a man lost in a vast desert from high angle makes the character look hopeless and weak.
口语六:老师总希望得到feedback, feedback DE characters 1 focus on students 2. focus on 其他
Task6:
用dinner为例子阐述两种theater对观众的不同。在theater里,一种是player表现的观众不存在,比如在吃饭,那就认认真真在吃饭,和下面没交流。一种是style是player意识到观众的存在,还是比如吃饭,player可能问下面观众food smell good? 甚至invite audience to join them…"
TASK6
6.关于living in group的不足
两个群居的不足和例子:
1)Visible to predators and easy to be captured. 单独的时候就不会这样。比如沙丁鱼,当他们一直单独行动的时候,就不容易被发现然后被吃。但是当他们成群的出现,就会有鲨鱼捕食他们。
2)Carrying the young. 很多生活在一起,不容易找到自己的小孩。比如成百上千的bats蝙蝠生活在洞里,当他们出去捕猎回来想给自己的小孩喂食的时候,找不到。可能给别的小孩喂食,而自己的却没被喂到。
TASK6
6.Why companies will change their product packaging.
1.In response to technology. 技术发展会有new material出现,举了牛奶的例子,牛奶以前是装在glass bottle卖,后来技术发展,出现了塑料,于是牛奶现在装载plastic box里面卖。
2.为了更好与其他公司竞争。比如会改变包装的size。又是牛奶,其他公司已经改变了自己juice啊软饮料啊的包装,变成portable size,让人民可以再车里啊路上喝,于是牛奶也变了,由以前的large bottle变为现在这样。
6,animal foraging.
Task6;
历史课
以前early human beings是去hunt wild animal for meat,但是大概10000年前开始驯化(domesticate)control animals. The domestication of animals有很多benefits,下面我们来说一下:1. The domestication of animals will provide consistent and reliable source of meat. Early people去打猎,有时打得到,但often打不到猎,而把animal养在身边可以随时随地有吃的,举了goat山羊的例子,山羊是最早被驯化的动物。Goats can be easily controlled and can be organized by the heard and move with the people。因此这个source非常reliable。2. The domestication of animals will supply a variety of food other than meat. 又举了山羊的例子,goats produce milk. People can collect milk and drink. Also people can process milk and make it into yoghurt and cheese.
6. Environmental science:
我们一直在寻找保护环境最好的方式,但有一种就是Moral suasion道德劝告,it means to appeal to people’s moral sense of duty, their civic duty, to make people voluntarily to protect the environment.教授说有两个例子,1. 比如Smokey the Bear(全班笑。这个查了一下背景资料:就是1944年美国的一个防止森林火灾的propaganda标志),a bear dressed like a man, 举着标语说“please don’t hurt my animal friends” or “please don’t start forest fire”. People will become sensitive to it and their awareness to protect the environment will be promoted.2. recycle campaign. People often recycle.但是怎样保证high compliance,就需要moral suasion,告诉你这样做是正确的。When you see your neighbors are recycling, you will follow what they do.

6. Lecture: Two advantages about Beta Testing method using in business
A beta test is a testing that gives the intended audience some samples to try the product out.
1) Getting feedback from the customers
The producer can get feedback from the customers who try the product out, so that they will know what aspect they didn’t do well. Take a camera for example, the camera company may give some professional photographers samples to test how well the new camera work. If after the testing the photographers report the flash doesn’t work well because it produces extra light, the company will know they need to work on the flash to make it more desirable.
2) Providing free advertisement
If the testing audience think the new product is satisfactory, they will have a positive evaluation about it and tell others how well the product is. If it’s not perfect at first and the company spends effort to fix it, they usually have a better evaluation. Take the camera. After the company fixes the flash, the photographers will think the camera is now very good, and they will tell other photographers about the camera, encouraging others to be willing to buy
口6
Animal adaptions

口6
讲广告让受众接受产品的两个方法,一个是在合适的时间让受众看到,举的例子是玩具车的广告要在孩子们喜欢的电视节目的时间段播出,第二个好像是要和实际的产品结合(记不清了),举得例子似乎是他女儿和朋友们有个小玩具,然后最近要有关于这个玩具的节目上映了。
口语六: 2 mechanisms to make it hard for the predators to predict the next behavior of the animals.
Example 1:Squid don't go straight,and the speed is unsteady,they choose to move in a zigzag pattern which makes it extremely difficult for the predators to anticipate its behavior.
Example 2:Squid can change into different colors,they can change from pink to blue then to white,for instance,the predators stares at something pink but all of a sudden it change into blue,it confuses the predators thus gives the squid a chance to escape.
口语六:动物保护自己的两种方式:装得对侵犯者很危险;直接装死。以蛇为例:狐狸来冒犯蛇,蛇就装得比实际危险,吓跑了狐狸;遇到其他的某些入侵者,蛇可能装死,入侵者因此失去兴趣。
口语六:土地的sault accumulation问题,Solution 1; 弄pipe把多余的水引走,S2; 种植resistant的crop, 这些crop对于盐有抵抗力
6商品价格与需求成反比关系。商品价格升高,需要下降,比如咖啡。但有例外,如面包。面包在18世纪的英国是最便宜的主食。相比肉而言,无论面包怎么贵需求量都不会下降。价格上涨反而会使得更多的人去买面包。

term是infomercial。就是在电视上的长的商品广告,telephone number都有显示在屏幕上那种两个advantages:1,有足够的时间介绍所有feature
example:卖home exercise machine. 在infomercial里可以介绍他的各种使用方式让更多人购买,但如果是short commercial就没有足够的时间。2,因为viewers是可以在广告过程中就打电话进来购买,这样可以直观的告诉商家这个广告是不是有效。example:还是那个machine,如果很少人在广告时打电话进来的话,厂家就可以明确地知道这款广告不是那么奏效,然后就可以修改以卖出更多的商品。
口語六:动物如何在睡觉时躲避捕食者袭击?两种方法。一是利用环境警告,比如lizard在睡觉时选择大树的长枝尽头这样敌人靠近树枝摇晃发出警告;而是自己大脑部分休息,比如一种鸭子可以睡觉时睁一只眼闭一只眼以监视敌人
6
说是有两种途径让动物们既可以在白天活动也可以在夜里活动,第一种是make light怎么的(忘了),给出的例子是fox有一种很特殊的layer 能借助月光看清东西。第二种是可以通过缩小眼睛的一个什么(eyes pupil不确定拼写对不对)瞳孔吧,例子还是FOX,可以调节瞳孔大小,来减少光的强度,所以他们还是可以在白天摄取食物。
口语六:森林大火一般对生物有harmful的影响。比如很多动物在大火中会快速迁徙。但是森林大火对生物也有时候beneficial。举了两个例子:第一个例子森林大火对predator比较有利。更有利于他们抓住prey。比如火鸡。火鸡在森林大火中可开心了。他们可以轻而易举地看到prey。他们的prey会快速flee,所以火鸡可以快速抓到他们的猎物insects,而不用苦苦地peck the ground to look for the insects。第二个例子是beetles。Beetles喜欢森林大火因为他们喜欢的树平时会分泌毒素。Beetles无法在树上生存。但是大火把树烧死后Beetle就可以尽情地在上面产卵和抚养后代。
口语六:Two reasons for plants to avoid sunlight.
Example 1:Some plants need to cling to something in order to get its moisture and nurients and etc.these places are often in shades,for example vine.
Example 2:Some plants need to conserve moisture,intense exposure to the sun would decrease the moisture,like bean plant.

TASK6
Birds migration at a long distance.
1) First reason is that birds will eat enough food to
store energy. For example, humming bird eat much food to store energy a few
weeks before the migration, the food they eat will turn into body fat and its
weight can added at least 40%
2) Second reason is to take advantage of the air flow. For example, hawk can
save energy by soaring-flying without flapping wings by thermals.

应对有生命威胁的情况,animals survive有时靠individual自己就行,有时还要靠group。动物形成群体form a group保护自己生存下去,有两种ways:第1种、gather together取暖:帝企鹅empire penguins到了冬天就迁移到inland、那里特别冷。为了survive,帝企鹅会bunch together to form a concentrated group to keep warm,并take turn to stand outside to combat the extreme cold and get warmth。第2种、围在一起to form a concentrated group to survive the predator:八哥starlings遇到predator——falcons攻击时会挤在一起,形成一个solid mass。大的在外面,小的在里面。如果a falcon hits them with one of its wings,its wing will be injured。the falcon就没办法catch any single starling了。
城市温度比农村高的原因。一个是城市中的机器会释放各种热量,比如汽车释放尾气和热量,另外是城市当中黑色的东西更多,更易吸收光并转化为热量。比如concrete制成的深色马路和街道。

new business 选地址的时候要考虑的因素,一个是cost,给的例子是美国公司租地时候要给tax,不同的地tax不同,第二个大致是说周边是否能成为雇员提高便利生活,像有超市购物中心就会比较吸引雇员
蚂蚁通过某些strategy来提高forage food效率。
1.每次出发都方向不同,比如Amy Ant,第一次从north出发,下次换East

电影中摄像头角度:电影技巧中采用不同视角的镜头对人物形象塑造的影响。从低处往高处拍,显得actor很powerful,larger. Queen of England(?? 不清楚了) 就采用了这种手段。使得她显得很高贵。从高处往低处拍,显得actor很small, 无助。A man lost in desert就用了这种手段。和广大的desert比,这个人就显得很无助,很hopeless。
Task6:
6.Two situations of price inelastic
Normally, if the price goes up the demand will goes down, because people don’t want to buy products when they become more expensive. But there’s also a situation when the demand stays the same when price goes up. It’s called price inelastic.
Two situations of price inelastic:
1)When the products are necessary. Though price goes up, consumers still buy them because they need them.
For example, the electricity, even if the electricity company raises the price of electricity, people still purchase it because it’s necessary and people need electricity for electric appliance like lights.
2)When the company has a strong brand loyalty. The customers will continue buying them even if the company raises price.
For example, the blue jeans, customers are loyal to the brand so even though the price goes up, they continue to buy it because they feel comfortable to buy blue jeans.
Use the examples in the lecture to explain two situations of price inelastic.
