After attending the legendary “Fame” school, Alexis has landed one role after another in films starring actors such as Johnny Depp, Halle Berry, Vivica A Fox and Marlon Brando. I found Alexis to be not only enthusiastic about acting and enhancing his craft, but he is without a doubt, one of the kindest and warmest actors I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing. Hello, Alexis. How are you doing?M: Great Good to see you.W: When did you decide show business was the path you wanted to take?M: I started when I was 9 and it was something I had interest in and I was aware that I wanted to go further, I just didn’t know how. Even when I started at 9, when you’re that young, if you’ve got talent, you can read the lines and you’re cute, that’s enough. But, when I was about 13, I was auditioning for a role and I was up against Marc Anthony, the director sits me down and says, “You know, you’re not a very good actor, you’re a terrible actor, but I’m going to give you this part anyway.” It just stunned me! But some part of my brain clicked in that he was saying something to me and that I need to take acting classes. So I decided to listen to him and that same year I started training at the School for Performing Arts, the Fame school. It turned out to be the biggest turning point of my life. That’s where I learned to become an actor.W: You attended the infamous Fame school, what “extra something” did you have that scored a spot in the school?M: It wasn’t anything. When I was auditioning, their standards were really strict. I went through two days of the auditioning process with various exercises, tests and monologues to gauge your talent. There’s really no way to prepare for it.W: You have starred in films with some of the biggest names in the business. Which celebrity has given you the best advice through the years?M: I learned from Anthony Quinn about working my knowledge. I learned from him what it meant to learn my knowledge. Many, many, many years later, I learned from James Woods a combination of what I had learned... not to be a jerk.1. What do we learn from the beginning of the interview?2. According to Alexis Cruz, what is enough for a 9-year-old actor?3. According to the interview, what impels Alexis Cruz to take acting classes?4. What can the auditioning process of the Fameschool be summarized as?5. What can we learn from the interview?1．A．Alexis engaged in show business when he was 20.B．Alexis plays a leading role in every film he acts.C．Alexis is an easy-going and passionate actor.D．Alexis’s craft in acting needs to be improved.正确答案：C解析：由关键语句kindest and warmest，enthusiastic about acting and enhancing his craft可推知Alexis很随和，工作中是富有激情的，故C项为正确答案。

专业英语八级(阅读)模拟试卷161含答案和解析
专业英语八级（阅读）模拟试卷161讲座会话听力大题型(1) Distant indeed seem the days when the two great rivals of commercial aviation, Boeing and Airbus, would use big air shows to trumpet hundreds of new orders. This year's Paris Air Show was a much more sombre affair, even if the Boeing-Airbus feud still took centre stage.(2) There were one or two bright spots. Airbus was able to boast of a firm order for ten of its wide-body A350s from AirAsia X. John Leahy, its top salesman, expects deliveries in 2009 to match the record 483 in 2008. Boeing, which was hit by a prolonged strike last year, will probably deliver more aircraft this year than last. Both firms built up huge backlogs in the fat years; each has orders for about 3,500 planes.(3) But many of those may soon evaporate. Giovanni Bisignani, the boss of IATA, the trade body that speaks for most airlines, gave warning earlier this month mat his members might defer as many as 30% of aircraft deliveries next year. He also almost doubled his forecast for the industry's cumulative losses in 2009, to$ 9 billion.(4) Both Mr. Leahy and Jim McNerney, the chief executive of Boeing,think that Mr. Bisignani is overdoing the gloom. But they concede that potential customers may find purchases hard to finance. Another issue is the cost of fuel. Mr. McNerney thinks the recent increase in the oil price should encourage carriers to replace elderly gas guzzlers with efficient new planes. But if the price \1.It can be inferred from Para. 1 that Boeing and Airbus______.(C)A. have not suffered from a reduction of new orders until this yearB. did not compete with each other intensely in the pastC. used to advertise their success in business at air showsD. would have to resolve their rivalry as early as possible解析：推断题。

Changes— tribal people: effects of (10)_____ on art forms— European artists: influence of African traditional art in their works— American and Canadian artists: study of Japanese paintingNow listen to the Mini-lecture.Good morning, today’s lecture is the very first of a series of lectures on art his tory, so I’d liketo spend some time discussing with you the following topic: W hy do we need to study arthistory? And what can we learn from it?First of all, I’d say, if you study art history, this might be a good way to learn more about aculture than it’s possible to learn in general history classes. You know, most typical historycourses concentrate on politics,economics and w ar, but art history focuses on much morethan this. Because art reflects not onl y the political values of a people, but also their religiousbeliefs, emotions etc. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can bepro vided by art, like what people did for a living, what kind of dress they wore, w hat ceremoniesthey held etc. In short, art can express the essential qualities of a time and a place, and thestudy of it clearly offers us a deeper understan ding than can be found in most history booksand enables us to learn more thi ngs about human society and civilization.The second point I’d like to make is about the type of information. In history books, informationis objective, that is facts about political economic life of a country are given,but opinions arenot expressed.Art, on the other hand, is s ubjective.It reflects personal emotions andopinions. For example, Francisco Goya was a great Spanish painter and also perhaps the firsttruly political artis t. In his famous painting, The Third of May 1808, he showed soldiers shooting a group of simple people. His description of soldiers and their victims has be come a symbol ofthe enormous power or the misuse of this power that the government can have over itspeople. Over 100 years later, on another contin ent, the powerful paintings of Mexican artistsdepicted their deep anger and sa dness about social problems.In summary, through art youcan find a person al and emotional view of history.Thirdly, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in E urope, religiousart was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings werefilled with paintings that showed people and sto ries from the Bible. By contrast, one of themain characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is), its absence of human andanimal images. This r eflects the Islamic belief that these images are unholy. Thus, on palaces,mosq ues and other buildings, Islamic artists have created unique decoration of g reat beautywith images of flowers of geometric forms, for example, circles, squares and triangles. The sameis true of other places, like Africa and Pacific Isl ands. Art also reflects the religious beliefs of traditional cultures in these plac es. As a matter of fact, religion is the purpose for this art andit’s, therefore, a bsolutely essential to it. Traditional art in Africa and Pacific Islands is differe ntfrom Christian art. Christian art influences people’s religious feelings toward s God. But the goalof traditional art in Africa and Pacific Islands is the influe nce of spiritual powers, That is godsto enter people’s lives. Each tribe or villa ge there had special ceremonies with songs and dancesto make sure that cro ps, animals and people are healthy and increasing in number. The dancersin t he ceremonies wear masks， Head dresses and costumes that they believe ar e necessary toinfluence gods. So these masks, head dresses themselves, are revelry part of the art. As wesaid, art depends on culture, different forms of a rt result from different cultures. Similarly, theway that people view art also de pends on their cultural background. This is my fourth point. Formost Europea ns and Americans, art is mainly for decoration. It is something on a museum wallor in a glass case. It makes their homes more attractive. People look at it and admire it:"Oh,what a beautiful painting!" Besides, ideas are expressed in this art. This is a wonderful statue,and admiring it,I might say:"It makes such a strong anti-war statement." But in other places,art is not c onsidered to be separated from everyday existence. It has a function, it ha s apractical role to play in people’s lives. A person in a tribal society might loo k at a mask and say:"Oh, this is a good mask. It would keep my house safe." In brief, the way in which people enjoyor appreciate art depends on their culture. To conclude my lecture, we can say that art is a reflection of various cultures. But at the s ame time, we have to remember that art also reflectsthe changes in society t hat take place when different cultures influence one another. As peoplefrom tr ibal societies move to urban areas, their values and beliefs change accordingl y and their traditional art forms begin to lose their function. At the same ti me, urban artists begin tolearn a lot from traditional art. For example, Afric an masks and figures had a great influence onPicasso’s works. And many Ame rican and Canadian artists study the simplicity of Japanesepainting. The resu lt is that as the world gets smaller, the art of each culture becomes moreinter national.OK, this brings us to the end of our lecture. I hope that after today’s lecture,you’ll understand better the significance of the study of art history. Art enabl es us to know moreabout human history, for example,people’s views and opin ions about certain historical events,and what’s more important, about differe nt cultures, their religious beliefs, perception of artetc.Now you have 2 minutes to check your notes.

It is advisable to plan every detail of a trip in advance.D. arranging for stopovers can avoid overnight travelW: Nigel Linge is editor of Business Travel Weekly. Nigel, thanks for being on t he show. Now,what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays?M: Well, most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. You know, all airportshave a limit to the number of take-offs and landings they ca n handle.W: So what seems to be the problem?M: All flights from a busy airport arrive and leave at more or less the same ti me. If 60 aircraft are scheduled to take off between 5 p. m. and 5:15, and th e airport can only handle 120 anhour, that means some will always be late la nding or taking-off. And if the weather is bad, oh,you can imagine what the si tuation is like. So passengers have to be loaded into each plane,and then the planes have to line up to take off.W: So waiting at the lounge or on the plane is quite common.M: Certainly. And another problem th at’s very common is over-booking. Quite often you hearan announcement on the airport loudspeakers:"We have over sold on this flight and wouldlike volunteers to go on the next f light out." If you decide to volunteer, you may get a cashbribe or free-trip vo ucher, but make sure you get a guaranteed seat on the next flight and afree phone call to whoever is meeting you on the other end. And worse still, you a rrive with confirmed reservation and you discover you’ve been bumped off t he flight.W: Presumably, if you choose to travel at off-peak times, there are few proble ms.M: Well, there are no off-peak times, All flights seem to be full except Saturd ay. I don’t quite understand why this is so. You know, if there is a public holi day, things are likely to beespecially busy. The special fare systems on the air line’s computers encourage more people tofly on less popular flights and thi s means that as a result all flights are equally full.W: So, what advice would you give to business travelers?M: I’d say "Avoid big airports if you can". The reason is there are too many fli ghts there. Then,remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. Ano ther thing is "Be prepared fordelays". Take something to eat and drink in your hand luggage.W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travelers make?M: The first mistake business travelers make is to take far too much luggage . Remember, takeonly carry-on luggage, because at most airports, you can g et away with two small bags.W: Oh, I see.M: Another mistake people make is to think that you have to pay full price for air tickets. Youshould find out about the different ticket options. For example, an RTW fare can save up to40% on normal fare.W: Excuse me, what is RTW?M: Round the World. For example, if you’re going to Australia from the USA, y ou could go outvia Singapore, and come back via North America. And another way to save money is to see ifthe ticket to a destination beyond it’s cheaper . For example, a ticket from Amsterdam fromLondon to New York may be che aper than one straight from London to New York.W: Oh, that’s very useful information.M: And another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people’s efficiency a nd energy startto fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is "Keep your tri p short",only go for two weeksand never for a longer than three. Another poin t is "Don’t expect everything to go according toplan". You need to learn to exp ect the unexpected. There may be a typhoon in summer oryour taxi may bre ak down on the way to the airport. In other words, don’t be optimistic about plans and don’t schedule important meetings too closely together. You need t o allow time fordelays and break-downs.W: Yeah, this is something travelers have to remember when they plan their t rips.M: And another thing, get to know a good travel agent and make sure he give s you the bestpossible service. T ake discounts for example, a good travel age nt can get first-class ticket forthe price of business-class. This is because he d oes enough volume of business and he can getdiscounts with airlines on his o wn behalf. He should pass them on to you. So make sure heindeed does.W: I think the worst part of a trip is having to travel overnight or being stuck for a weekend insome dreadful place. Are there any ways avoiding that?M: Yes. We can break or stop over in a more relaxing or lively place. It’s ofte n available atspecial cheap weekend rate. Various airlines and hotel chains of fer these. And it’s always morepleasant to stay a night in a hotel than on a pl ane even if you travel business-class.W: Yes. OK, thank you, Nigel, for all the useful information and advice.M: Pleasure!SECTION C NEWS BROACASTIn this section you will hear everything once only.Listen carefully and then ans wer the questions thatfollow.

专八听力的提高最基本的技巧还是需要考生们平时多听voa/bbc，以下是店铺为大家搜索整理专业英语八级考试听力讲座练习，希望对正在关注的您有所帮助![00:27.11]In this section, you will hear a mini-lecture.[00:32.14]You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY.[00:35.10]While listening, take notes on the important points.[00:39.47]Your notes will not be marked,[00:41.77]but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture.[00:47.46]When the lecture is over, you’ll be given two minutes to check your notes,[00:52.70]and another 10 minutes to complete the gap-filling task.[00:56.97]Now listen to the mini-lecture.[00:59.93]What is good writing?[01:03.64]Different cultures using different languages may come up with very different answers to the question.[01:09.34]Indeed, even different individuals may have different standards, tastes and expectations.[01:14.80]However, as far as English is concerned, a set of basic characteristics,[01:19.95]which is believed to be present in all good writing, [01:22.57]has been promoted by educators in English-speaking countries.[01:25.85]They are: unity, coherence, emphasis, developmentand clarity.[01:31.32]While these good old values are still relevant,[01:34.27]today’s discussion of good writing focuses on a different set of concepts.[01:38.97]I’ll define good writing using different terms: good writing is good thinking;[01:44.11]good writing involves thoughtful revision; good writing is directed toward an audience;[01:49.91]good writing achieves a clear purpose; good writing expresses ideas clearly.[01:55.06]Firstly, good writing is good thinking. Good thinking leads to good writing,[02:01.40]and muddy thinking can only result in muddy writing.[02:04.57]As simple as that. Writing is a thinking process; it is not making a big deal out of nothing.[02:10.70]Good writing should be substantive, really having things to say.[02:14.64]Not only having things to say, but also having insightful things to say about the topic.[02:20.32]This concept is particularly important for you non-native speakers of English.[02:25.25]You may tend to be overly concerned with being correct in grammar, spelling and mechanics.[02:30.60]While good writing is expected to be free from grammatical and other errors,[02:34.97]it is worth repeating here that good writing is not good grammar or vice versa.[02:40.12]At the advanced level,[02:42.19]you should be much more concerned with higherand more important issues of writing in English.[02:46.90]If you were excited at all by a piece of writing,[02:49.96]most likely, it was for one or a combination of the following reasons:[02:54.78]1) because it enlightens you or sheds light on the subject;[03:00.02]2) because you have felt something similar but in a rather vague and superficial way;[03:05.60]3) because you have felt exactly the same,[03:09.33]but have never been able to express yourself in such an effective and elegant manner.[03:13.70]Secondly, good writing involves thoughtful revision.[03:17.30]Although there are geniuses who are such inspired writers[03:20.91]that they can produce great writings at the spur of the moment[03:24.08]without having to revise as much as one word, such geniuses are few and far between.[03:29.77]For the overwhelming majority of writers,[03:32.73]good writing is ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent inspiration.[03:37.98]Experienced writers subject their writings to numerous revisions before feeling satisfied.[03:43.89]Lu Xun, the greatest modern Chinese writer, for example,[03:48.04]talks about pacing pensively in the study for days searching for the right word.[03:53.07]Thirdly, good writing is directed toward an audience.[03:57.01]Notice the use of the word “audience” here:[03:59.97]it usually refers to viewers and listeners, but now its reference has expanded to include readers, too,[04:06.86]particularly in discussions of writing.[04:09.48]You should remember that what is appropriate for one kind of audience may not be appropriate for another.[04:15.60]The intended audience determines your choice of words,[04:18.88]your sentence length and patterns, the overall tone, [04:22.72]the details that would be included in your writing, etc.[04:26.00]Fourthly, good writing achieves a clear purpose.[04:29.50]Good writing must achieve your intended purpose.[04:32.12]If you want to write about how to make Jiaozi, your reader, after reading your writing,[04:37.37]should get everything he or she needs to know about how to make Jiaozi,[04:41.31]from the necessary ingredients to step by step instructions.[04:45.03]If your purpose is to convey the sublime and soul-awakening beauty of the morning sun[04:51.15]bursting out of the horizon in the misty Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province,[04:55.86]you should describe it in such a way that your readers should be able to visualize the scenery.[05:01.00]If you want to propose that China adopt a legal drinking age,[05:05.15]you should make it clear to the People’s Congress why such a law is necessary,[05:09.64]what it should be, how to implement such a law,and so forth.[05:13.68]Last but not least, good writing expresses ideas clearly.[05:18.17]Good writing reflects good thinking,[05:21.23]and good thinking needs to be put in precise, concise, and lucid prose.[05:26.04]An important task for revision is to trim all the deadwood,[05:30.31]pruning all the redundancies, wordiness,[05:33.16]and confusing and misleading ambiguities.[05:35.56]For non-native speakers,[05:37.53]to express yourself clearly often involves making your writing more idiomatic,[05:41.79]reducing the level of negative interference of your native language[05:45.52]and to bring your writing closer to English-speaking readers.[05:48.68]Only when you can write clearly can you begin to think of developing a distinctive style.[05:53.94]What kind of style should you develop or use depends on your temperament,[05:58.64]your need, and such controlling factors as the subject you are writing about,[06:02.90]the audience you are writing to, and the purpose you want to achieve.[06:06.73]One style may be appropriate for certain occasions but totally inappropriate for others.[06:12.10]You would feel totally out of place[06:14.39]if you go to a casual gathering of old friends dressed in expensive suit and tie,[06:19.31]unless you want to appear snobbish and showy.[06:22.04]How about going to a concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra[06:26.86]in the elegant Grand Capital Arts Center in loosely fit T-shirt and jeans?[06:32.00]So far, we have discussed five characteristics of good writing.[06:36.37]In later lectures, you will learn in greater detail how to write to different audiences[06:41.73]to achieve specific purposes in clear and effective styles.下载全文。

In today’s lecture, I’d like to focus on how our body language reveals who we are. We’re really fascinated with body language and particularly interested in other people’s body language. You know, we’re sometimes interested in an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe a very awkward wink or handshake. So what kind of body language am I talking about? [1] I’m interested in power dynamics, that is, the nonverbal expressions of power and dominance. And what are nonverbal expressions of power and dominance? Well, this is what they are.[2] In the animal kingdom, nonverbal expressions of power and dominance are about expanding. So you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space, and you’re basically opening up. And, and humans do the same thing. So they do this when they’re feeling powerful in the moment. And this one is especially interesting because it really shows us how universal and old these expressions of power are. For example, when athletes cross the finish line and they’ve won, it doesn’t matter if they’ve never seen anyone do it. They do this. So the arms are up in the V sign, the chin is slightly lifted. [3] But what do we do when we feel powerless? We do exactly the opposite. We close up. We make ourselves small. We don’t want to bump into the person next to us. And this is what happens when you put together high and low power. [4] So what we tend to do when it comes to power is that we complement the other’s nonverbals. What I mean is if someone is being really powerful with us, we tend to make ourselves smaller. We don’t mirror them. We do the opposite. I’m watching this behavior in the classroom, and guess what I have noticed? [5] I noticed that MBA students really exhibit the full range of power non verbals. They get right into the middle of the room before class even starts, like they really want to occupy space. When they sit down, they’re sort of spread out. They raise their hands high. You have other people who are virtually collapsing when they come in. As soon as they, I mean other people, come in, you see it. You see it on their faces and their bodies, and they sit with their chairs and they make themselves tiny, and they will not fully stretch their arms when they raise their hands. I also noticed another interesting thing about this. [6]It seems women are much more likely to do this kind of thing than men. I mean, women are more likely to make themselves small. Women feel chronically less powerful than men, so this is not surprising. The second question concerns our minds. [7] We know that our minds change our bodies, but is it also true that our bodies change our minds? And when I say minds, in the case of the powerful, what do I mean? I’m talking about thoughts and feelings and the sort of physiological things that make up our thoughts and feelings, and in my case, that’s hormones. I look at hormones. So what do the minds of the powerful versus the powerless look like? [8] Powerful people tend to be, not surprisingly, more assertive and more confident, more optimistic. They actually feel that they’re going to win even at games of chance. They also tend to be able to think more abstractly. They take more risks. [9] So there are a lot of differences between powerful and powerless people. Physiologically, there are also differences on two key hormones: one is dominance hormone, and the other is stress hormone. What we find is that powerful and effective leaders have high dominance hormone and low stress hormone. What does that mean? That means power is also about how you react to stress. Once, we did an experiment. We decided to bring people into the lab and run that little experiment. These people adopted, for two minutes, either high-power poses or low-power poses. We for two minutes say, “You need to do this or this. “And we also want them to be feeling power. [10] So after two minutes, we will ask them, “How powerful do you feel?” on a series of items, and then we give them an opportunity to gamble. Before and after the experiment, we take their samples of saliva for a hormone test. That’s the whole experiment. And this is what we have found. Risk tolerance, which is gambling, what we find is that when you’re in the high-power pose condition, 86% of you will gamble. When you’re in the low-power pose condition, it’s down to only 60% , and that’s a pretty significant difference. [11] Here’s what we find on dominance hormone. From their baseline when they come in, high-power people experience about a 20% increase, and low-power people experience about a 10% decrease. So again, two minutes, and you get these changes. [12] Concerning stress hormone, high-power people experience about a 25% decrease, and the low-power people experience about a 15% increase. [13] Once again, two minutes lead to these hormonal changes that configure your brain to basically be either assertive, confident, or really stress-reactive, and, you know, feeling sort of shut down. And we’ve all had that feeling, right? So it seems that our nonverbals do govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Also, our bodies change our minds. So, power posing for a few minutes really changes your life in meaningful ways. [14] When I tell people about this, that our bodies change our minds and our minds can change our behavior, and our behavior can change our outcomes, they say to me, “I don’t believe that. It feels fake. “ Right? So I said, “Fake it till you make it. “ I’m going to leave you with this. Before you go into the next stressful evaluative situation, for example, a job interview, for two minutes, try doing this, in the elevator, or at your desk behind closed doors, and say to yourself, “That’s what I want to do. “ [15] Configure your brain to do the best in that situation. Get your dominance hormone up and get your stress hormone down. Don’t leave that situation feeling like, oh, I didn’t show them who I am. Leave thatsituation feeling like, oh, I really managed to say who I am and show who I am. To sum up, today, we talked about the nonverbal expressions of power and dominance and the strong effects of the change of behavior. I suggest you try power posing which is simple but will significantly change the outcomes of your life. OK. Next time, we are going to discuss the social functions of body language.Body Language and Mind Introduction Body language reveals who we are.

My name is David, and I am good at arguing. So, welcome to our introductory lecture on argumentation. Why do we want to argue? Why do we try to convince other people to believe things that they don"t want to believe? Is that even a nice thing to do? Is that a nice way to treat other human being? Try and make them think something they don"t want to think? Well, my answer is going to make reference to 3 models for arguments. The first model. Let"s call this the dialectical model. It"s that we think of arguments as war. And you know what that is like? There is a lot of screaming and shouting, and winning and losing, and that"s not really a very_ helpful model for arguing, but it"s a pretty common and fixed one. I guess you must have seen that type of arguing many times, in the street, on the bus, or in the subway. Let"s move on to the second model. The second model for arguing regards arguments as proofs. Think of a mathematician"s argument. Here is my argument. Does it work? Is it any good? Are the premises warranted? Are the inferences valid? Does the conclusion follow the premises? No opposition, no adversariality, not necessarily any arguing in the adversarial sense? And there"s a third model to keep in mind that I think is going to be very helpful, and that is arguments as performances. Arguments has been in front of an audience. We can think of a politician trying to present a position, trying to convince the audience of something. But there is another twist on this model that I really think is important. Namely that when we argue before an audience, sometimes the audience has a more participatory_ role in the argument, that is, you present your arguments in front of an audience who are like juries that make a judgement and decide the case. Let"s call this model the rhetorical model, where you have to tailor your argument to the audience at hand. Of those three, the argument as war is the dominant one. It dominates howwe talk about arguments; it dominates how we think about arguments. And because of that, it shapes how we argue, our actual conduct in arguments. We want strong arguments—arguments that have a lot of punch, arguments that are right on target. We want to have our defenses up, and our strategies all in order. We want to kill our arguments. That"s the kind of argument we want. It is the dominant way of thinking about arguments. When I"m talking about arguments, that"s probably what you thought of, the adversarial model. But the war metaphor, the war paradigm, or model for thinking about arguments, has, I think, made it negative effects on how we argue. First, it elevates tactics over substances. You can take a class in logic argumentation. You learn all about the strategies that people use to try and win arguments. And it makes arguing adversarial. It"s polarizing. And the only foreseeable outcomes are triumph, glorious triumph, were disgraceful defeat. I think those are very destructive effects, and worst of all, it seems to prevent things like negotiation and collaboration. Um, I think the argument as a war metaphor inhibits those other kinds of resolutions to argumentation. And finally, this is really the worst thing. Arguments don"t seem to get us anywhere. They are dead ends. We don"t get anywhere. Oh, and one more thing, that is, if argument is war, then there is also an implicit aspect of meaning, learning was losing. And let me explain what I mean. Suppose you and I have an argument, you believe a proposition, and I don"t. And I say, well, why do you believe that? And you give me your reasons. And I object and say, well, what about...? And you answer my objection. And I have a question, well, what do you mean? How does it apply over here? And you answer my question. Now, suppose at the end of the day, I"ve objected, I"ve questioned, I"ve raised all sorts of questions from an opposite perspective, and in every case, you respond to my satisfaction. And so, at the end of the day,I say, you know what? I guess you are right. Maybe finally I lost my argument, but isn"t alsoa process of learning? So you see arguments may also have positive effects. So how can we find new ways to achieve those positive effects? We need to think of new kinds of arguments. Here, I have some suggestions. If we want to think of new kinds of arguments, what we need to do is think of new kinds of arguers, people who argue. So, try this. Think of all the roles that people play in arguments. There"s the proponent, and the opponent in an adversarial dialectical argument. There"s the audience in rhetorical arguments. There"s the reasoner in arguments as proofs. All these different roles. Now, can you imagine an argument in which you are the arguer, but you are also in the audience watching yourself argue? Can you imagine yourself watching yourself argue? That means you need to be supported by yourself. Even when you lose the argument, still, at the end of the argument, you could say, wow, that was a good argument! Can you do that? I think you can. In this way, you"ve been supported by yourself. Up till now, I"ve lost a lot of arguments. It really takes practice to become a good arguer in the sense of being able to benefit from losing. But fortunately, I"ve had many many colleagues who have been willing to step up and provide that practice for me. OK, to sum up. In today"s lecture, I have introduced 3 models of arguments. The first model is called the dialectical model, the second is the model of arguments as proofs. And the last one is called the rhetorical model, the model of arguments as performances. I"ve also emphasized that though the adversarial type of arguments is quite common, we can still make arguments produce some positive effects. Next time, I will continue our discussion on the process of arguing. [解析] 演讲者在讲到共有三种辩论的方式之后，马上就提到了第一种，“The first model. Let"s call this the dialectical model.”从题目来看，几乎就是原句的重述，所以可以确定此处的答案为“dialectical model”，且字数不超过三个。

Rescuers are searching the waters off Lebanon for the 90 passengers and crew of an Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed shortly after takeoff Monday. Several bodies have already been pulled from the sea, but no survivors have been found. Lebanese officials have called for a day of mourning for those killed when the plane went down in stormy weather in the early hours of Monday. [1]Officials say there is no indication of terrorism or foul play. Lebanese President Michel Suleiman said that as of now, an act of sabotage is unlikely. The Boeing 737-800 had just taken off from Beirut and was headed to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, when it went down in the Mediterranean a few kilometers off Lebanon's coast. Witnesses report seeing the plane on fire before it crashed. Authorities say more than 50 Lebanese passengers boarded the plane as well as more than 20 Ethiopians, in addition to the crew members. [2]French officials say the wife of France's ambassador to Lebanon was among the people from other countries on board. President Suleiman says preparations are being made for relatives of those on board to receive information about the search efforts.
