阅读：学校决定让新生在入学前提前做一些以后会做的作业, 主要是文学方面的.

　　学校理由1: 学生预先掌握一下写作技巧有助于大学学习, 教授也可以不用在这些基础技能上停留太多时间, 进而传授更多知识

　　学校理由2: 学生预先阅读的一些东西可以成为他们入学后的共同话题,从而促进交流, 广交朋友

听力：男生反对理由:

　　1): 大部分学生在假期里面时间比较少, 比如有工作(我理解是实习),所以无法完成这些阅读任务. 而一旦完不成, 开学就要struggle to catch up, 有时不得不rush, 结果就skip文章, 囫囵吞枣

2): 新生不会谈论文学, 他们更喜欢聊熟悉有趣的话题,such as some cool places to hang out.

　　听力材料：女生态度，同意(agree, for…)。

　　理由一：可以容纳(accommodate)更多学生，女生举例去年就因为空间小选课没有选上。

　　理由二：可以有更大的screen，这样看老师show pictures and sculptures可以更清晰(clearer)。

按照以上主线将听力材料组织完全即可。

口语三，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。

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

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

2013.12.28ML

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。

2010.3.20NA

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。

2009.11.14ML/2008.3.29NA

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。

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

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.

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）

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. 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.

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.

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.

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?

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。

1)It is very likely that people will lock books in their lockers without checking them out, and no one will know. They can keep the books as long as they want. Like, if a student locks 20 books in his locker, no one will know where those books are.

2)Students like himself don’t have extra money to pay for the fees. They already have many fees need to be paid. If only a few students are willing to pay and only these people can take advantage of this plan, the university should not carry out it.

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。

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. 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?

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.

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。

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。

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：

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.

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。

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。

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

2.大家一起搬运而不是将食物切成小块分次搬运来节约蚂蚁力，比如一片水果，一起搬只要10个ants，分片搬要50个ants

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.
