Listening:妈妈带孩子到超市采买，小朋友一看到饼干就哭着想要，妈妈受不了妥协就买了，后果就是以后小朋友还会用同样的手段；妈妈为了让他停止这种坏习惯，在他哭得时候，忽略他哭，以后就会改掉了。

Response:

Accordingto the reading passage, there is a psychological phenomenon that if a specificbehaviour is ignored without any rewards, the behaviour is going to stop andextinct in the end. In order to illustrate the concept, the professor gives anexample. In a grocery store, if a mother compromises and buys her child cookiesin order to stop him crying, the child tends to do the same thing the nexttime.

Whenthe child notices that cry does not help, he will not behave like this the nexttime.

Response:

Thewoman in the conversation has encountered a problem that her landlord just toldher that the building she lives in has been sold out, so she needs to move outin a few days. There are two solutions for her. First, she can stay with herfriend, Sarah. The second solution is to move to the apartment that she lookedlast weekend. I would recommend her to choose the former one. By doing this,she can have more time to look for a better place to stay. If she moves to theapartment that she looked before, it will take her a long time to go back andforth between the apartment and campus. Although it will be a little bitinconvenient since she has to move all her stuff to Sarah’s place, she onlystays there a short period time.

Inthis conversation，the man is having a hard time dealing with the problem that he hasgo to the museum in order to finish his art paper ,but the museum will beclosed tomorrow while he has class tonight. And the woman offers him twopossible solutions. One is to ask the art professor to turn in the paper later.The other is to ask the teacher for a leave. And he can go to the museumtomorrow. He can later borrow other students’notes. And if it were my choice，I would choose the latter one，becausedelaying the paper is what to be avoided. The professor will be very upset.Secondly, this student has no absent record before. So if he explains to hisprofessor of the class tonight, the professor will understand.

Problems:网络坏了，网络公司reschedule了appointment。是女生还是她室友在房间等，她要跟朋友去看电影。

Solutions

1: 室友等，但是室友要去studysession

2: 自己等，但是要看电影

Response:

Theproblem the woman is facing is that either she or her roommate has to stay inthe room and wait for the guy from the internet company to fix the connection,who last-minutely rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon. They really need to getit fixed tomorrow because they need to do important research for assignments.Her first solution is to ask her roommate to stay in, but her roommate alreadyhas plans for a study session. Her other solution is to stay in herself, butshe has plans to go to the movies with friends. I think she should skip movieswith her friends and stay in herself. That way, she doesn’t have to trouble herroommate, and she can have some extra studying hours while waiting for theinternet guy.

Listening:

公司一般通过经本年度的 profit 在下一年进行 invest 来进行增长,一般有两种方式:

1.Internal:投入公司内部的预算,比如 buy new machine, training the employees.举例:Wilson公司有很多很老的机器,然后 buy new machine,提高效率,吸引了 customer 因为save time,所以有了更多的客户,公司得到了增长。

2.External:buyor merge the related company,可以得到该企业的客户,实现增长。举例:Wilson 并购了local supermarkets,得到了他们的客户,因为客户还是会在原来的超市购买。因此 Wilson 的客户 dramatically increased.

Response:

Accordingto the lecture, the professor explains that how company develops throughinvestment. Overall, companies usually invest their profits earned in the lastyear to develop. There are two ways to invest. The first is to investinternally, such as acquiring new machines or training their employees. Forexample, Wilson had many old machines that are not efficient any more. Afterbuying new machines, the efficiency increased a lot. Therefore, the companysuccessfully attracted more customers and got further developed. The other oneis to invest externally, such as buying or merging the related companies. Forinstance, Wilson merged the local supermarkets. The company gained customersbecause the customers still shopped in the original supermarkets. Similarly,the number of its customers increased largely.

Listening:解释了热带雨林植物怎样防止水在表面堆积，以免滋生细菌。

1waxy表面可以将雨水变成水滴从表面流下来

2有的植物会很快地让水滴下来，比如一些植物有driptip来达到这个效果

Response:

Inthe lecture, the professor introduces how rainforest plants adapt to preventwater from accumulating from their surfaces because if the water remains at thesurface of the plants, harmful moles or bacteria will grow there and thus killthe plants. There are two ways of adaptation. The first one is that some plantsget waxy surface which can turn the rainfall into droplets, so they just rollof the surface. The second adaptation is that some plants quickly drip off thewater to prevent water piling up on the main part of the plants. For example,some plants get a drip tip, which is a long and sharply tip that is helpful forthe run-off effect.

12

Listening:悲观的人也能带来积极的好处

举例说比如他们会预期到即将发生的不好的事情，提前做好准备，

1预计天会下雨，悲观的人会提前准备雨具

2提前预测到不好的结果就不会有失望的情绪，举例找工作失败，因为预期会有不好的结果，所以他们也不会很沮丧。

Response:

Asstated in the lecture, being pessimistic sometimes is beneficial. Twoadvantages are mentioned by the professor. First, people being pessimistic areused to prepare beforehand. For instance, if the person is pessimistic aboutthe weather, thinking that it may be raining the next day, so the person willbring an umbrella or rain coat with him. Second, people being pessimistic tendnot to get too disappointed when something bad happens since they alreadyforesee the bad result that may take place. For example, if an individual islooking for a job and he is pessimistic about it. When he cannot find a goodone, he will not be too depressed.
