Are these products selling well? Complete the chart below.Salesperson 1OK, our new subzero sleeping bag here has a patented design, and it has revolutionary filling. We've had it tested by hikers and campers in subzero temperatures. And they're not only happy with the warmth, but they're also very pleased with how light it is. Now, our bags also take up less room than the bulkier, heavier sleeping bags you're used to, so campers don't have to sacrifice any of their equipment. We found that people who are new to hiking didn't like the term "subzero" because the idea of being outdoors when it's that cold is not very appealing. So, now we just emphasize how warm and lightweight it is, and it's selling better than any other sleeping bag!Salesperson 2You know, I first thought that this compact, portable electronic dictionary was going to sell really well—especially with the back-to-school market. You know, all school kids need to check a dictionary, right? Well, it Just doesn't seem to be taking off. I'm finding out that more and more kids these days have computers. And you know that computers have software with dictionaries, and most word-processing programs have spell check. Then I thought, "OK, there are still people who like to write the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper." Well, a number of those people have told me that they still like the old-fashioned dictionaries, too.Salesperson 3We sell this really neat remote-control device that sends out a signal to start your car. It even lets you heat it up before you have to go out. That's a really great feature in the winter. So often, you know, people complain about how long it takes to warm up the car. People hate being cold . . . and they hate having to wait even more! This gizmo sells really well during the winter holidays.Section C QuestionnaireDirections: Listen to a dialogue between a market researcher and a consumer. As you listen, complete the form with the information you hear.Woman: Yes?Man: Oh, good morning, Madam. I'm from Pestaway Market Research. I'm doingconsumer research in this area. I wonder if you'd mind telling me—do you use Pestaway in your home?Woman: Pestaway? Oh—the insecticide thing. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I do,Man: What do you use it for. Madam? Fleas, ants, cockroaches, woodworm?Woman: Oh, cockroaches. This is an old house, you see, and we often get cockroaches in the kitchen. I tried scrubbing and disinfecting but it didn't seem to be much good, and then 1 heard a commercial about Pestaway, so I thought I'd try that.Man: Was that on 'IV?Woman: No, it was radio—one of those early morning shows.Man: You heard it advertised on the radio. Fine. And you say you use it in the kitchen. Do you use it anywhere else in the house? In the bathroom, say?Woman: Oh, no we've never had any trouble anywhere else. We get the odd wasp in the summer sometimes, but I don't bother about them. It's the cockroaches I don't like—nasty, creepy-crawly things.Man: And you find Pestaway does the trick?Woman: Well, yes, it's quite good. It gets rid of most of them. Man: How long have you been using it, Madam?Man: Every six weeks or so. I see. Where do you buy your Pestaway, Madam?Supermarket? Chemist?Woman: Oh, no. I get it at the litde shop at the end of this street. They stock practically everything. It means taking a bus if I want to go to the supermarket.Man: Well, thank you very much. Madam. Oh, could I have your name please? Woman: Mrs. Egcrton—Mary Egerton—that's E-G-E-R-T-0-N.Man: E-G-E-R-T-0-N. And the address is 12, Holly Crescent, Peterford?Woman: That's right.Man: Might I ask your age. Madam?Woman: Oh—well—er—just put down I'm over fifty.Man: As you like, Mrs. Egerton. And occupation—housewife?Woman: Well, I used to be a telephonist before I married. I had a very good job with the Post Office, but what with a husband to look after and four children to bring up, itdoesn't leave you much time, does it?Man: Occupation—"housewife". Well, thank you very much for your time, Madam. You've been most helpful.Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear two talks. Complete the sentences and answer the questions below. You will hear each talk twice. At the end of each talk therewill be a 3-minute pause, during which time you are asked to write down youranswers briefly. You now have 25 seconds to read the questions or sentencesbelow.Talk OnePackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has "Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Question 1. According to the passage, what is the meaning of the word "motivate"? Question 2. What does 'A buyer will get something for nothing" most probably mean? Question 3. Why do people prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish?Talk TwoMarshall Field's, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: "Give the lady what she wants." Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It often studies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens.Marketing research is divided into a number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new product development.Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.Unit 14 About HealthSection A Talking about SymptomsDirections: Listen to the conversations.

You don't have to spend money to exercise. All you need is a street and comfortable clothes. Our solution? Walk. Don't drive. For instance, walk to thestore, to the library, to the bank. Walking is free and easy.The third most common reason is bad weather. "It's raining. It's too hot. It's snowing." Here's a solution. Exercise inside. For example, turn on some music. Dance. Or clean the house. You can go to the shopping mall and walk fast.Fourth, people say they're tired. "I'm too tired to exercise. I'll exercise when I have more energy." But exercise gives you energy. Most people feel too tired because they don't exercise. The solution? Exercise every day. Take a walk. Go for a bike ride. Run around the block. You'll feel great! And you won't feel tired.Finally, some people feel embarrassed. "I feel silly exercising. I don't have a great body." Listen to this solution: Don't feel bad; you should feel great!

Task 3Listening: You will bear some people talking about the meanings of the above gestures in different places in the world. Listen to the recording and fill in the table below with what you bear.Number 1Woman: You know, a “nod” moving your head up and down-means “yes” in most laces, but not everywhere. Did you know that in Greece a nod means “no”?Man:It means “no” in Greece? I’m surprised.Number2Man:I didn’t know “raised eyebrows”means “yes”in Tonga. It means something very different in Peru.Woman: Year? What does it mean there?Man:Money. Raised eyebrows are a gesture for money in Peru.Woman: Hmm.Number 3Woman: Urn, Alberto, you said that tapping your head means “I’m thinking” in Argentina. Man: That’s right.Woman: You’d better be careful about using that gesture here in Canada. It means someone is crazy.Man: Oh, it means “crazy” in Canada? I didn’t know that. I’ll be careful.Number 4Man: You know, it’s interesting that in the Netherlands, tapping your elbow means you can’t depend on someone. In Colombia, they use the same gesture, but it has different meaning. Woman: What does it mean in Colombia?Man: Well, it means someone is cheap. The person doesn’t like to spend money.Woman: Oh.Number 5Woman: Here’s an interesting one. You know how “circling your head”means that a person’s crazy?Man: year.Woman: Guess what it means in the Netherlands.Man: The Netherlands? I have no idea.Woman: It means someone is calling on the telephone. You know, like dialing a phone.Man: That’s interesting.Number 6Man: So flicking your chin means “go away” in Italy, right?Woman: Yes.Man; Guess what it means in Brazil.Woman: In Brazil? I don’t know.Man: That’s right.Woman: Huh?Man: In Brazil, flicking your chin means “I don’t know.”Woman: “I don’t know” is the meaning?Man: Right.Number 7Woman: Well, everything is “thumbs up” for my trip to Nigeria. I’ve never been to Africa before. I’m really looking forward to it.Man: Ah, you’d better be careful with that expression in Nigeria.Woman: Huh?Man: Thumbs up. In Nigeria, it means…um…well, it has a very bad meaning. Don’t use that gesture. It will get you into a lot of trouble.Woman: Oh, thanks for telling me.Number 8Man: You said tossing your head means “come here” for Germans?Woman: That’s right. But there are some other meanings. In India, it means “yes.” But it has the opposite meaning in Italy. In Italy it means “no”.Man: Hmm, “yes” in India, “no” in Italy. Isn’t it interesting how the same thing can have such different meaning?Woman: It sure is.Task 5Listening: You will hear some people meeting each other for the first time. They use some strategies to make a good first impression. Listen to the recording and complete the table below with what you hear.Number 1(Sounds of office)Ann: You’re new here, aren’t you?Sue: Yes, I just started this week.Ann: I’m Ann Rogers.Sue: I’m Sue Kelly.Ann: It’s nice to meet you, Sue.Sue: Nice to meet you, too.Ann: I was just going for my coffee break. Would you like to join me, Sue? (pause) Commentator: Ann’s strategy? Remembering names. She tries to remember the names of people she meets. Notice that she said, “It’s nice to meet you, Sue.” And “Would you like to join me, Sue?” The strategy: Try to remember people’s names by using them.Number 2(Sounds of jazz)Woman: Nice music, isn’t it?Man: Yes. I really like jazz.Woman: So do I. Especially Winton Marsalis and Miles Davis.Man: I like them too. (Pause)Commentator: This strategy is to add extra information. The woman didn’t just say, “I like jazz, too.” She said the names of two musicians she likes. It’s really different to have a conversation with someone who just says “yes”or “no”or gives very short answers. Try to give extra information, especially when you’re asked a question. Don’t just say “yes” or “no.”Number 3(Sounds of classroom)Tony: Have you ever taken a class with this teacher before?Jan; No, I haven’t. But I’ve heard she’s good.Tony: I had her for a course last year. She’s really good.Jan: I’m glad to hear that. I’m Tony. (Pause)Commentator: The key here is to start a conversation by finding something you and the other people have in common-something that’s the same, or that affects both of you. Here, the speakers are at school. They start by talking about the class and the teacher. At a party, you might mention the food or the music. What about other time? Anything that you and the speaker have in common-even the weather. You both already know it’s cold or hot or rainy. But people talk about the weather because it’s something they have in common. The strategy is to find something that is the same for you and the person you’re talking to.Number 4Man: Well, I’m a little shy. Of course I like meeting people, but it’s kind of difficult. So before I meet someone, I sometimes think about what I want to say. I’ll think of something about school or work. It depends where I am. Anyway, I usually do that before I say my name. So I guess planning what I want to say is important for me. I don’t practice or memorize it or anything…I just think about it. (Pause)Commentator: His strategy is to think about what he wants say. By thinking about the topics, he knows what he wants to say-or at least what he wants to talk about. That makes it easier.Task 7Listening: You will hear someone talking about how to remember different thing. There seem to be some very effective methods we can all use. Listen to the recording and take notes of what you hear to fill in the table below.We all have problems remembering things, but there are techniques that you can use to help you remember. Let’s take the activities that you have just done.First of all, remembering the names and jobs of the people and where they comes from. Here, the best thing is to imagine images of the people and the names that you want to remember. For example, we have Tom the student from Australia. Well, for Tom you might imagine a tomato. Then Australia has a shape a bit like a dog. Now let’s imagine it’s a very clever dog and the dog is reading a book. So now we have a picture of Tom the student from Australia.Now let’s take the numbers. The best thing to do here is to break the larger number up into smaller numbers and then think of things that the numbers remind you of, such as a birthday, a particular year, the number of a house. Or with a number like 747 you might think of a jumbo jet-a Boeing 747.With the directions the best thing is to imagine you following the directions. Create a picture in your mind of yourself going down the street. Count the turnings 1,2. Then turn left. Now imagine going past a supermarket and a cinema and so on.When you have to remember lists of words try to build them into a story. So with our words we might start with, “The sun was shining, so I went for a walk. I saw a horse wearing trousers. It was kicking some bananas over a television. The bananas landed in a bag, and so on. Again the funnier the story the better.”Try some of these techniques and you’ll be amazed at what you can remember.Task 8Listening: You will hear an interview with a professor about world languages. Complete the notes below with what you hear. Write no more than five words in each blank.(I=Interviewer; KT=Kim Thomas)I: …so, if we could turn to the origin of language? Um, do we know when, where and how language originated?KT: Ah, that’s a difficult question to answer; or rather the answer is no one really knows. What we do know is when language was first written down.I: Ah hah, and that was…KT: That was about five and a half thousand years ago, in about 3,500 BC. The Sumerians, who lived in Mesopotamia, were the first people to write down their language. They used symbols called pictographs to represent everyday objects—a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphics—and the first actual alphabet was developed around 3,500 years ago by the Phoenicians, who lived on the eastern coast of what is now Syria. Today there are around 65 alphabets in the world. Interestingly, the shortest of them, the one used in the Solomon Islands, has only 11 letters.I: Hah, hah. And the longest?KT: Er, the Cambodian, I think. I believe it’s got 74 letters.I: So, how many languages are there in the world today?KT: Some where in the region of 4,000. I don’t think we’ll ever find out the exact figure.I: Um, and which of these are the most spoken?KT: Well, Mandarin Chinese has about a billion speakers. English is next with about half a billion speakers and Hindi, Spanish and Russian are not too far behind. These five languages account for half of all the conversations in the world!I: Hah, hah, hah. And is it true that Mandarin is the biggest language? I mean the one with the most number of words.KT: Again, it’s difficult to say, but the latest thinking is that English is actually the biggest, largely due to the number of technical and scientific words it contains. There are at least a million words in English. Most native speakers only use about 10,000 words, that’s one per cent of them.I: Hah. Only 10,000.KT: Yeah, and can you guess which are the most common of these? The most used words in English.I: Huh. Let me think. Um, maybe ”be”?KT: Well, according to recent research, where tens of thousands of hours of conversation have been fed into computers and analyzed, the most common word is “the”.I: Oh, and “be”?KT: Well, “be”, we think, is the most used verb in English. But of course there are different forms. Er, what do you think the most common noun in spoken English is?I: Mm, the most common noun? Erm maybe something like…er, oh, I’ve no idea. You’re going to have to tell us.KT: Hah, hah, hah. Well, you just said it, actually. Apparently it’s “thing”.I: Mm. Hah…OK…hah. What about the origins of words? Where does English come from?KT: Well, modern English, which 500 years old, is mixture of mainly Romance and Germanic languages. Greek and Arabic have also provided English with many words. Er, did you know “sugar”come from Arabic? And, from other languages. From example, did you know that “coffee” comes from Turkish and that “chess”, the game, is Persian word?I: Oh, no.KT: Where do you think “ketchup” as in tomato ketchup, comes from?I: Er, I’ve never really thought about it. I’ve no idea. Hah,hah,hah. America?KT: Hah,hah,hah. It’s from the Malay language. A traditional Malaysian sauce I believe.I: Ah.KT: How about “shampoo”?I: Mmm, it sounds a bit oriental to me. Maybe Japanese?KT: It’s actually a Hindi word, from India. The list is endless.I: Er, you mentioned India just then. Isn’t that a country with hundreds of languages?KT: Well, I don’t know about hundreds. I think Papua New Guinea has got the most with over eight hundred and fifty separate languages, but India has got dozens of languages. The bank notes there have got thirteen languages written on them. I suppose they’re the main languages. Um, most people there speak at least two or three languages.I: Um, talking of which…and one final question. To speak tow languages fluently is difficult enough, but have you any idea what the highest number of languages spoken by one person is? KT: There is, or was, a Frenchman, I, er, can’t remember his name, but he spoke 31 different languages. All of them fluently!I: Oh. On that note, Professor Thomas, we’ll say thank you very much and, er, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, arrivaderci, or ,sayonara, adios.Task 10Listening: you will hear someone talking about some language problems you may encounter while in the United States. Listen to the recording and take notes of these problem.Speaking a foreign language in a classroom is one thing, but living in society where you have to use this language on a daily basis is completely different. So here are some language problems you may encounter while in the United States.--You might not understand the local accent right away. Regional accents vary greatly. In a group of people from all over the U.S., Americans can usually pick out who is from Boston, New York, the Midwest, or the South, just by the way they speak. Give yourself some time to get usedto the local accent, and in time, you will probably find yourself speaking in the same way.--Americans might not understand you right away. You will also have your own accent and you might use a different vocabulary. Try to speak slowly at first to make sure you are understood. Don’t be shy. Ask others to speak slowly if you have trouble understanding them.--Americans use a lot of slang in their speech. Their language is very colorful and full of imagery and it might take some time to completely understand it.--Humor is also an important part of American English. Some international students have a little trouble adaption to this informal style of conversation, and they also have trouble understanding whether the person they are speaking with is being serious or not. This, however should be interpreted as sign of friendliness rather than a show of disrespect.--You might not know all the abbreviations and technical terms used in your study program or workplace. Term such as “poli sci” for political science, “forms” for dormitories, or “TA” for teaching assistant, are just a few examples of campus slang you will encounter. The abbreviation is often the first syllable of the word or, if two or more words are together, their initials. If you don’t understand a word or an abbreviation, simply ask the meaning.You should give yourself time to adapt to the language and don’t hesitate to ask people to repeat what they have said, to speak slowly, or to explain what they mean. It would be wise to carry a dictionary with you in case of an emergency. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. This will all be part of your learning experience.Task 2Listening: You will hear a psychologist analyzing the answers to the questionnaire. Listen to the recording and fill in the chart below with what you hear.How honest are you? This is what our psychologist says about the answers.Question1: What would you do if you found some money? Give yourself two points for b and one point for c.Question 2: If somebody tried to sell you a stolen video recorder, would you but it? Give yourself two points for c and one point for a.Question 3: If your friend tried to steal something from a shop, what would you do? Two points for c and one for b.Question 4: If you couldn’t afford your car insurance, what would you do? Give yourself two points for a and one point for c: I shouldn’t drive it except in an emergency.Question 5: If a shop assistant gave you too much change, what would you do? Two points for c and one for b.How did you score? Seven to nine points shows very honest person. Four to six points is OK—you are about average. Less than four points—well, you’re not very honest, are you? And if you scored ten points—you must be joking. You obviously didn’t answer this quiz honestly!Seriously, though, for most people a lot would depend on the circumstances. For example, a lot of people would keep money that they found in the street if it wasn’t very much. But if they found a lot of money in a wallet, they would take it to the police stationAnd some people would buy stolen goods if they came from a shop or factory, but they wouldn’t buy them if they knew they were stolen from someone’s house..Task 4Listening: You will hear a conversation between two speakers. One of the speakers will tell us a story of a highway robbery. Listen to the recording and decide whether the following statementsare true() or false(). Mark each corresponding box.Emma: Chris! How was the holiday?Chris: Don’t ask.Emma: Why? What happened? Wasn’t it “the holiday of a lifetime”?Chris: It was absolutely fantastic. We went everywhere—Disney world, the Epcot center, the Kennedy Space Center. The kids had a great time ,Amanda had a great time, and for once so did I…until the last day, anyway.Emma: Why, what happened?Chris: We got robbed! Would you believe we were robbed by highway robbers. Highway robbers in the 21st century! And they were very polite—it was like a game to them.Emma: Highway robbers?Chris: Yes, it was really bad luck. We’d been really careful during the holiday, and we never really felt at all uncomfortable. Everywhere we went people were very polite, and friendly, and helpful. We just relaxed and enjoyed the holiday.Emma: And?Chris: Well, it all happened on the way home. We were driving to the airport—I’d finally got used to driving on the wrong side of the road—when suddenly a big old car bumped into the back of us. It happened so fast—the kids were thrown back into their seats and Amanda screamed. I didn’t really know what was happening. Anyway, before I had time to do anything, he bumped me again.I was pretty angry, I can tell you. I stopped the car and so did he. I wasn’t really thinking, I just got out of the car and started calling him an idiot. That’s when I saw four big guys getting out, and one of them had a baseball bat.Emma: Ouch!Chris: Exactly. I thought “it looks like I’ll be needing the medical insurance after all”, but no. The guy with the bat just said “Now stay cool and you won’t get hurt. We’ll empty the trunk and be on our way”; It took me a second to realize he meant the “boot” and that he was going to rob us. Emma: You’re joking.Chris: I wish I was. Anyway, they told Amanda and the kids to stay in the car, not that they were going to get out, and told me to open the boot. They took everything out of it—the luggage, of course, our coats, even the spare type. They didn’t take our souvenirs and things—they were in the back with the kids. And then they put everything into their car and drove off.Emma: So Amanda and the kids were OK?Chris: Oh yes. We were all fine—a bit shaken up but fine. It didn’t take long for the polite to arrive. They looked after us, got us to the airport on time and so on, but it was a terrible way to end the holiday.Task 6Listening: You will hear three people talking about crime and safety where they live. What does each of them do? What does each of them avoid ding? Listening to the recording and take briefnotes to fill in the chart below.First, LarryInterview: You live in the city.(Mm-hmm) Do you feel safe there?Larry: Well, I would say that I do feel safe. But…uh…then, of course, I take precautions. I think you have to if you like live in the city. For instance, inside my apartment…uh…my front door has several locks on it. And on all the windows I have locks ,too. And that’s something maybe not everyone does, but…uh…it certainly helps keep burglars away. You would hear them if they were trying to break in…uh…with a lock on the window. Um…At the front door of the building, I don’t let anybody into the building through the front door if I don’t know them. Uh…if they’re strangers asking to be , you know ,buzzed in ,I won’t let them in..And in my neighborhood…uh…I don’t walk alone at night. If it’s late at night, I won’t …uh…won’t walk on the streets alone, especially if it’s a really darks , quiet street. No way. Now, Anne.Anne: Well, let’s see, what do I do to be safe? Well, one thing I do to be safe is I always tell someone exactly where I am going, usually my roommate. So somebody knows where I am at all times.And another thing is: When I come home late at night , I always have my keys ready at the front door, so I don’t have to stop there and look for my keys in my purse. Oh, and one more thing I do is when I am on the subway platform, I always am sure to stand near other people. I don’t like to be standing along on the subway platform.Finally, Paul.Paul: Let’s see, what do I do to be safe? Well, when I ride on the subway late at night, I always try to ride in the car with the conductor.And if I am on the subway ,or even walking down the street, I never state at anyone. You know, I try and avoid making direct eye contract.Oh, and I always try to look like I know where I’m going. And I always walk very, very quickly.Task 8Listening: You will hear a news program. There are four stories about different crimes. What is each story about? Listen to the recording and complete the chart below with what you hear. Chuck: Hello, and welcome to The World’s Worst Criminals. Let’s start our program right now with a story from Nancy Daniels. Nancy?Nancy: Thanks, Chuck.This is an incredible story about two young thieves who were caught after robbing a camera store. They got away with some valuable equipment, but they made a big mistake. They used an instant camera to take photographs of each other at the scene of the crime. When the blank sheets came out of the camera with no pictures on them, they assumed the camera wasn’t working correctly. They threw the prints away before they started to develop. The police found the photographs, recognized the two men, and arrested them the next days!Chuck: Hmm. Not the brightest bulbs in the pack. All right, our next story comes to us from Kevin Nichols. Kevin, what do you have for us?Nancy: Well, Chuck, this is a story about a burglar who was caught by a rabbit.Chuck: All…all…all right, stop right there, Kevin. Did you say…a rabbit?Nancy: Indeed, Chuck. A rabbit name Mopsy, Who was the pet of the Jenkins family. Mopsy, a rabbit with the ability to thump its foot very loudly, interrupted a burglary at its owners’ home by waking everybody up. Robert Jenkins, his wife, Anne, and their three children were asleep at home when they heard a noise at 3 a.m. The rabbit thumped so loudly that it woke the Jenkins family just in time to see a man and a woman leaving the scene of the crime on stolen mountain bikes, Police later arrested the couple.Chuck: That is quite a pet! Nancy, I understand you have another story for us.Nancy: Yes, I do, Chuck. This one’s about a robber who felt especially guilty about the crime he’d committed.A robber walked into a bank, put a bag on the counter, and ordered the teller:”Fill it up—I have a gun. ” The teller put all her loose cash in the bag, and when the robber demanded more, she got bundles of bills from other tellers. Eventually, the robber told her, ”That’s enough ”and walked out with about five thousand dollars. A few minutes later, he reappeared, put the money back on the counter, and apologized to the astonished bank teller. He said:”I’m sorry. I didn’t really mean to rub you. I shouldn’t have done it.” And then he waited for the police to arrive! Chuck: That is truly amazing! Kevin, what else do you have for us?Kevin: This is a crime that many people may actually appreciate, Chuck. Recently, there have been several mysterious break-ins, but the burglarsHaven’t been caught. Apparently , they break into people’s homes when they’re on vacation, but the only thing they steal is food . Then the criminals proceed to redecorate the homes! When the owners return, they find their homes freshly painted and cleaned, but with the cupboards and refrigerator empty. The police are baffled. They believe that although only three cases have been reported, there may be many more victims.Chuck: “Victims”, are they? Those victims are probably happy about having their homes redecorated for free.Kevin: Those burglars can come to my home anytime---I won’t tell the (Ha—ha--ha) police. I would love a decorating job for free, and there’s nothing in my refrigerator…。

CALLAHAN: What?BROOK WINDHAM: You're fired. I have new representation.PROF. CALLAHAN: Who?Elle: Excuse you, you're in my way.PROF. CALLAHAN: She's a law student. She can't defend you.DAVID: Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling 3.03.ELLE: See? Thank you, David.THE HONORABLE MARINA R. BICKFORD: Counselors, approach the bench.PROF. CALLAHAN: You're not going up there.ELLE: Yes, I am.BROOK WINDHAM: Maybe you didn't hear me. You're fired.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Counselors, now. All of you.ELLE: Elle Woods, Your Honor. Rule 3.03 of Supreme Judicial Court states that a law student may appear on behalf of a defendant in criminal proceedings.DA JOYCE RAFFERTY: Your Honor, I have no problem with this.PROF. CALLAHAN: I do. I'm not allowing it.ELLE: But you agreed last night. In your office when we were discussing my career.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: The ruling also states that you need a licensed attorney to supervise you. Mr. Callahan?PROF. CALLAHAN: That I won't agree to.EMMETT: I'll supervise, Your Honor.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Well, Ms. Woods, proceed.ELLE: Thank you, Your Honor.PROF. CALLAHAN: Enjoy prison.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Mrs. Windham, you do realize what you're doing? BROOK WINDHAM: Absolutely.SERENA: Oh, my God! There she is!MARGOT: We came to see your trial!SERENA: Look how cute. There's a judge and everything. And jury people.MARGOT: Vote for Elle!THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Ladies, take a seat.SERENA: Go, girl.MAN: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? CHUTNEY WINDHAM: I do.MAN: Be seated.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Ms. Woods, you may begin your questioning. ELLE: First of all I would like to point out.that not only is there no proof in this case...but there is a complete lack of mens rea which by definition tells us that there can be no crime…without a vicious will.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: I am aware of the meaning of mens rea. What I'm unaware of is why you're giving me a vocabulary lesson when you should be questioning your witness.ELLE: Yes, Your Honor. Miss Windham...when you arrived back at the house...was your father there?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: Not that I saw, but like I said I went straight upstairs to take a shower. ELLE: And when you came downstairs, what happened?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: I saw Brooke standing over his body drenched in his blood.ELLE: But Mrs. Windham didn't have a gun?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: No. She'd stashed it by then.EMMETT: Move to strike that from the record, Your Honor. It's speculation.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: So stricken.EMMETT: Go ahead.ELLE: Miss Windham, did you hear a shot fired?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: No. I was in the shower.ELLE: Ok. So, sometime in the 20 minutes that you were in the shower, your father was shot. CHUTNEY WINDHAM: I guess.ELLE: Your father was shot while you were in the shower but you didn't hear the shot because...because you were in the shower?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: Yes, I was washing my hair.GERARD: Where is she going with this?EMMETT: Have a little faith, Gerard.ELLE: Miss Windham...what had you done earlier that day?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: I got up, got a latte, went to the gym, got a perm, and came home. ELLE: Were you got in the shower?THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: I believe the witness has made it clear that she was in the shower.ELLE: Yes, Your Honor. Miss Windham, had you ever gotten a perm before? How many would you say?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: Two a year since I was 12. You do the math.ELLE: You know, a girl in my sorority, Tracy Marcinko, got a perm once. We all tried to talk her out of it. Curls weren't a good look for her. She didn't have your bone structure. But, thankfully, that same day she entered the Beta Delta Pi wet t-shirt contest where she was completely hosed down from head to toe.DA JOYCE RAFERTY: Objection! Why is this relevant?ELLE: I have a point, I promise.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Then make it.ELLE: Yes, ma'am. Chutney, why is that Tracy Marcinko's curls ruined when she got hosed down? CHUTNEY WINDHAM: Because they got wet?ELLE: Exactly. Because isn't it the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: Yes.ELLE: And wouldn't somebody who's had, say, 30 perms in their life be well aware of this rule? And if in fact you weren't washing your hair as I suspect, because your curls are still intact wouldn't you have heard the gunshot? And if in fact you had heard the gunshot Brooke Windham wouldn't have had time to hide the gun before you got downstairs which would mean that you would have had to have found Mrs. Windham with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible. Isn't that right?CHUTNEY WINDHAM: She's my age! Did she tell you that? How would you feel if your father married someone who’s your age?ELLE: You, however, had time to hide the gun, didn’t you Chutney, after you shot your father. CHUTNEY WINDHAM: I didn't mean to shoot him. I thought it was you walking through the door!THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Order! Order! Order!ELLE: Oh, my God.BROOKE WINDHAM: Oh, my God.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Oh, my God.THE HONORABLE MARINA R.BICKFORD: Bailiff, take the witness into custody where she will be charged for the murder of Heyworth Windham. In the matter of The State vs. Brooke Windham this case is dismissed. Mrs. Windham, you are free to go.BROOKE WINDHAM: Thank you! Thank you!REPORTER: Elle, how did you know Chutney was lying?BROOKE WINDHAM: Because she's brilliant, of course.ELLE: The rules of haircare are simple and finite. Any Cosmo Girl would have known.WARNER HUNTINGTON III: Elle, Elle, Elle.ELLE: What?WARNER HUNTINGTON III: I just wanted to say that you were so brilliant in there. And that I was wrong. And you are the girl for me.ELLE: Really?WARNER HUNTINGTON III: Pooh bear...I love you.ELLE: Oh, Warner, I've waited so long to hear you say that. But if I'm gonna be a partner at a law firm by the time I'm 30, I need a boyfriend who's not such a complete bonehead.Section 2: The Queen（女王2006,UK/France/Italy）ALASTAIR: They sent a copy of the Queen’s speech. You might want to scrape the frost off it first.ALASTAIR: I made a couple of changes. So it sounds like it comes from a human being. TONY: Yeah, all right, Alastair.ALASTAIR: At least the old bat finally agreed to visit Diana’s coffin.TONY: You know when you get it wrong, you really get it wrong. That woman has given her whole life in service to her people - fifty years doing a job she NEVER wanted - a job she watched kill her father. She's executed it with honor, dignity and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish - and now we’re all baying for her blood. All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for a woman who threw everything she offered back in her face, and who for the last few years, seemed committed twenty-four seven to destroy everything she holds most dear.ELIZABETH: Hello. Would you like me to place them for you?LITTLE GIRL: No. These are for you.ELIZABETH: For me? Thank you. Thank you very much.JANVRIN: Ma’am, there's been a last minute addition from Downing Street. They’re suggesting adding `..and as a grandmother..' here.ELIZABETH: Right. "So what I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart."JANVRIN: Do you think you can say it?ELIZABETH: Do I have a choice?DIRECTOR: They are ready for you, your Majesty. Just to confirm this is going out live. ELIZABETH: Fine.DIRECTOR: And you'll be at the front of the six o'clock news on all the channels ELIZABETH: Yes.……ELIZABETH: Thank you.FLOOR MANAGER: Ok, nice and quiet. Ten seconds, everyone.A MAN: ‘We cross, now, live to Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s tribute to Princess Diana. ELIZABETH: Since last Saturday's dreadful news we have seen, throughout Britain and around the world, an overwhelming expression of sadness at Diana's death. We have all been trying in our different ways to cope. It’s not easy to express a sense of loss. The initial shock is often succeeded by a mixture of other feelings, disbelief, incomprehension, anger and concern for those whoremain. We have all felt these emotions in these last few days. So what I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart...CHERIE: "Heart"? What "heart". She doesn't mean a word of this.TONY: That's not the point. What she's doing is extraordinary. (points to the TV) That's how to survive.CHERIE: Listen to you! A week ago you were the great modernizer, making speeches about the "People's Princess", now you've gone weak at the knees.TONY: Shh…CHERIE: You know, I don't know why I'm surprised. At the end of the day, all Labor Prime Ministers go ga-ga for the Queen.TONY: What?ELIZABETH (ON TV): …will remember her. I, for one, believe that there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving actions to her death. I share in your determination to cherish her memory. I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. May those who died rest in peace and may we, each and every one of us thank God for someone who made many, many people happy.Section 5: Patton（巴顿将军1970, USA）PATTON: Hi, how are you, son? Where are you from, Gomez?GOMEZ: California, sir.PATTON: Me too. Where were you hit?GOMEZ: In the chest, sir.PATTON: Well, this might be interesting to you. The last German I saw had no chest. Didn't have any head either. You get well quickly, son.PATTON: What's the matter with you?A SOLDIER WHO CRIES: I guess I just can't take it, sir.PATTON: What did you say?A SOLDIER WHO CRIES: It's my nerves, sir. I just can't stand the shelling anymore. PATTON: Your nerves? Hell, you're just a goddamn coward. Shut up! I won't have a yellow bastard crying in front of these brave men who’ve been wounded in the battle. Shut up! Don't admit this yellow bastard. Nothing wrong with him. I won't have sons of bitches afraid to fight stink up this place of honor. You're going back to the front, my friend. You may get shot, you may get killed, but you're going up to the fighting. Either that or I'll stand you up in front of a firing squad. I should shoot you myself. God damn it, you bastard! Get him out of here! Send him up to the front! You hear me? You goddamn coward! I won't have cowards in my army.PATTON: I had to kick a few butts, but Truscott finally broke through to those people on the beach.GENERAL BRADLEY: Have you seen the casualty lists?PATTON: Yes, I've seen them. What's the word from the coast road?GENERAL BRADLEY: The 3rd Division's east of Brolo, heading toward Messina.PATTON: Let's get over there. I want to go in with the troops.GENERAL BRADLEY: You go ahead, George. I'm not very good at that.PATTON: General Bradley. . . . . .it's time to consider how many casualties we'd have. . .. . .if we were still crawling on that goddamn road.A BRITISH GENERAL: Forward, march! Don't smirk, Patton. I shan't kiss you.PATTON: Pity. I shaved close this morning to prepare for getting smacked by you.A BRITISH GENERAL: Forward, march!GENERAL BRADLEY: You wanted to see me, George?PATTON: Got a letter from Ike. I was re-reading Caesar's Commentaries last night. In battle, Caesar wore a red robe to distinguish him from his men. I was struck by that fact because--"Despicable. " That’s the first time in my life anybody ever applied that word to me. GENERAL BRADLEY: Well, at least it's a personal reprimand, it's not official.PATTON: The man was yellow. He should've been tried for cowardice and shot. My god of it. Forgotten about all the people who have taken a lot worse than a little kick in the pants? I ruffled his pride a little bit. What's that compared to war? Two weeks ago at Palermo they call me a hero. They said I was the greatest general since Stonewall Jackson.GENERAL BRADLEY: Now they draw cartoons about you.PATTON: Dirty bastard!They got me holding a little GI and kicking him with an iron boot. You see that, what's on my boot?A swastika. On my boot. An iron boot with a swastika! "You will apologize to the soldier you slapped to all doctors and nurses who were present in the tent at the time to every patient in the tent who can be reached and last but not least to the 7th Army as a whole through individual units, one at a time. " God, I feel low.PATTON: Oh, God. Thou art my God. Early will I seek Thee. My soul thirsteth for Thee. My flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land. So as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary. My soul followeth hard after Thee. But those that seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword. They shall be apportioned for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone that sweareth by him shall glory. But the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.OFFICER: Ten-hut!PATTON: At ease. I thought I'd stand up here and let you people see if I am as big a son of a bitch as some of you think I am. I assure you I had no intention of being either harsh or cruel in my treatment of the soldier in question. My sole purpose was to try to restore in him some appreciation of his obligations as a man and as a soldier. lf one can shame a coward I felt one might help him to regain his self-respect. This was on my mind. Now, I freely admit that my method was wrong but I hope you understand my motive and will accept this explanation and this apology. Dismissed.OFFICER: Ten-hut!Section 2: Love Story (爱情故事1970, USA)OLIVE: I can’t believe how great you were.JENNY: Yeah.

UNIT 13Could You Tell Me How?Inquiring and Giving InstructionsIntroductionMany times we want to learn a recipe or a procedure and many times we want to show others how to operate a piece of equipment in everyday life or in laboratory research. When we do these activities, we may ask for instructions, describe a thing, give instructions and/or check understanding. These activities are often intermingled in a single conversation. When describing an object, a piece of equipment, a machine or a gadget to another person, we explain its size, shape, color, material, appearance, use and functions. There is usually a little difference between telling someone how something works and instructing them how to use it themselves. When explaining how something works, a more general description is given, whereas when giving instructions, more details are needed and more repetitions too. Also, when giving instructions, we often link the steps like this: “The first thing you have to do is...”or “Make sure you remember to...”and many other expressions. If you are giving instructions to someone, you’ll probably have to check as you go along by asking questions like “Are you with me?” to see if your listener has understood.Answers to the Questions:1. Instructing means telling people how to make, use or operate something.2. Check understanding.Background Information:Besides the points in the introduction, there are some other things you need to consider when giving instructions. First, make your instructions or explanations clearly and logically, step by step or point by point. Second, you may need to repeat or amplify some details which were not clear to your listeners. Sometimes classification is needed. Third, you should use vocabulary that your listeners will understand, and if it’s necessary, explain some technical terms. Fourth, you must avoid making your sentences too long or too complex. Fifth, you need to use the same person in speaking all the time. For example, if you start with “first you take...”, do not shift to first (I) or third person (he or she): “then I...” Finally, if necessary, you may summarize your instruction briefly. With these points in mind plus some functional expressions, you should have few problems in giving instructions.Part One Listening InGeorge: Sally?Sally: Yes, George?George: Could you please help me for a minute?Sally: Sure.

The girl had never baby-sat before and Mrs. Soames was a little anxious. “Make yourself comfortable, Carol,” Mrs. Soames said. “I’ve prepared a tray of food for you. It’s on the table. You can, of course, listen to the radio or look at the television, but don’t have it too loud because you might wake our little boy. Sound carries terribly in this house. If the boy wakes up, go to his room and stay there for a few minutes. He’ll go back to sleep immediately.Anyway, he’s four years old, so you shouldn’t have any trouble. My husband and I will be back at about eleven o’clock”Mr. and Mrs. Soames returned rather later than they had expected. A light was still on in the living-room and the television could just be heard.

Earlier this month, workers gathered buds from tall, old trees on the grounds of George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon. It is in the state of Virginia, near Washington, D.C. The experts hope to produce genetic copies, or clones, of the trees and plant them on the property.Tree experts David Milarch and his son, Jared, are leading the efforts. As a special project, David and Jared Milarch offered to make clones of the thirteen oldest trees at Mount Vernon. They are huge, beautiful trees. George Washington supervised the planting of these trees more than two hundred years ago.The Milarch family plans to grow fifty copies of each tree in tree nurseries in Alabama and Oregon. They will return the trees to be planted at Mount Vernon in two years. Some copies of the trees will be sent to the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts for safe keeping.Grafting is the name of the process used to clone trees. It has been done for thousands of years. A method called the T-bud technique often is used to copy trees. Workers begin by cutting the bark, or covering, on the side of a young tree. The cut is made in the shape of a cross, or the letter T. Next, the workers find a bud, or small growth, on the tree to be copied. A small piece of wood under the bud is carefully removed from the tree. The bud is then put into the hole on the other tree. The bud is tightly tied in place and begins to grow.Mount Vernon officials say George Washington was interested in his tree collection. The officials add that he was astrong environmentalist. They say the old trees are important because they existed when America's first president was alive.I1.Where was George Washington’s home located?2.What are David Milarch and his son?3.Where does David Milarch plan to clone the 13 oldest trees?4.Which of the following is NOT true about cloning trees?5.Why are the old trees at Mount Vernon important?II1.cutting the bark,2.young tree,3.find a bud,4.to be copied,5.removed from the tree,6.tightly tied,7.to growPassage IIDinosaur NosesAn American scientist named Lawrence Witmer, of Ohio University, has found that many images of dinosaurs may be wrong. For years, pictures of the ancient creatures have shown their nose openings near the top of the head. The new study suggests the dinosaurs' nostrils were just above the mouth. Dinosaurs used their nostrils to breathe, smell and control their body temperature. The new theory could help explain how the huge creatures were able to survive by using their sense of smellto find food, a mate and possible enemies.Many of the early dinosaur remains recovered by scientists were from huge creatures called sauropods. Scientists believed that sauropods must have lived in water because their bodies were so huge and their necks were so long. Nostrils high on the head would have permitted the dinosaurs to breathe while partly under water. The discovery of a sauropod head bone in 1884 added support for this belief. The skull had a large hole at the top of the head.Professor Witmer says experts learned years later that sauropods generally were not sea creatures. But he says the earlier theory about nostril position was extended to other dinosaurs.Only dinosaur bones have survived as fossil remains. Scientists have never recovered dinosaur remains of soft tissue. Scientists interested in the physical appearance of dinosaurs often study birds and animals similar to the ancient creatures. Professor Witmer examined forty-five kinds of birds, crocodiles and lizards that are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. He noted the placement of soft tissue through hundreds of x-ray images and by cutting pieces of tissue. Soft tissue leaves markings on bone. Professor Witmer used this information tomake a map of the likely position of soft tissue in the dinosaurs' noses. He found that the birds and reptiles he studied share a common nostril position.Professor Witmer found that the hole scientists once thought was a nostril in dinosaurs is just one part of the larger nasal passage. He found that the nostrils were farther forward and closer to the mouth. He says this new nostril position was true for all dinosaurs.Il. What does the speaker mainly talk about?2.What did dinosaurs use their nostrils to do?3. Which of the following have/has survived as fossil remains?4. How many kinds of creatures did Professor Witmer examine in his studies?5. What does Professor Witmer conclude based on his studies?II1.help explain, by using their sense of smell,2.dinosaur remains,3.sea creatures,4.the physical appearance, birds and animals,5.the hole, the larger nasal passage.Passage IIIDisappearance of Large AnimalsThirteen-thousand years ago, North America was home to many large mammals. They included woolly mammoths, several kinds of horses, camels and oxen. However, these and many other animals died out soon after. More than seventy percent of the continent's large mammals were affected.Scientists have long debated what caused many kinds of large animals in North America and Australia to disappear. Two new studies blame ancient humans for the disappearance. They say human hunters on both continents may have killed the animals for food. Science magazine reported the findings.John Alroy of the University of California at Santa Barbara 1ed one of the studies. He based his study on evidence that humans first arrived in North America about thirteen-thousand years ago. He examined how a group of about one-hundred humans could grow in number over a period of one-thousand-two-hundred years. Mr. Alroy estimated such things as reproduction rates and the amount of food humans need to survive. He found that it was possible for the small group of humans to expand to about three-hundred-thousand members during the period.Mr. Alroy said ancient humans could have killed off many kinds of large animals native to North America. He said the animals that disappeared had low rates of reproduction. This would have prevented them from recovering from the attacks by humans.More than thirty years ago. Paul Martin of the University of Arizona described how the disappearance of large animals was linked with human expansion. He says the two studies support his position. Mr. Martin adds that local climate may have influenced the disappearance of some animals.Part Dl) director, 2)magic, 3) screen, 4)theatre, 5) with, 6) Canada, 7) life, 8)existence, 9)astronaut, 10)actor, 11)lifesaver, 12) celebrate, 13)magic, 14)winners, 15)campaign, 16)black 17) negative, 18) celebrate, 19)prepare, 20)explain。

As a boy, Christopher Reeve studied piano and voice, worked as an assistant orchestra conductor, and made his acting debut with a Princeton, New Jersey, Theatre Company at age nine. He graduated from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and studied drama at the Juilliard School in New York where he roomed with comedian Robin Williams.Reeve was chosen from a pool of more than two hundred actors to play Superman. His looks, his fitness and physique and charming humility breathed life into the comic-book hero. The great success of Superman meant three very popular sequels. While Christopher appeared in other films, it is his role as Superman that made him famous.Known the world over as Superman, Christopher Reeve has been a symbol of strength, the force of good, with the ability to fly and soar over the problems of man. He was strength and mobility personified to people throughout the world.

2015年河海大学研究生英语一 Unit 13 Nine Years for A and B

Unit 13 Nine Years for A and BDr. Johnson was the greatest man who made a dictionary. James A. H. Murray was the man who made the greatest dictionary: From 1879 to 1915, when he died, he devoted his life to the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. Dr. Johnson had earned the right, as we have not, to call the lexicographer“a harmless drudge”. For Johnson knew not only that a great deal more than drudgery is involved, but also that the amount of drudgery in the making of a dictionary is simply unimaginable. Even the dictionary maker fortunately can’t make real to himself in advance.伟大的约翰森博士编纂了一部词典。

詹姆斯-A-H-莫里则编撰了最伟大的词典：从1879年到1915年，直到他死的那天，他倾其一生的精力来创作《牛津英语词典》。

约翰森博士有我们所不具备的资格，称词典编撰者为“无害的苦力者”。

约翰森博士知道编撰过程不仅极其单调乏味，而且其程度简直是难以想像的。

幸运的是，莫里在编撰词典之前并不知晓。

So the lexicographer—even a profoundly thoughtful and experienced one like James Murray—will grasp at the notion that the letter A is typical, so that he can really calculate, now that he has done A, how long are the vistas ahead. And then, all too soon, he is having to admit, not only that A isn’t typical (apparently it has lots of classically derived words, and these don’t have a great many senses) , but that the whole idea of typical letter is a will-o’-the-wisp. Or again, the lexicographer estimates the amount of time and effort involved in chasing up rare words or scientific terms and then finds that the hardest words are the ones that might seem easiest. The longest entry in the Oxford English Dictionary is for that simple slippery little word set, and Murray was plunged into black despair by “the terrible word Black and its derivatives”.所以，即便是像詹姆斯莫里这样考虑周全且富有经验的词典编撰者——也会急切地接受字母A是典型字母这一观念。

We’ll play a game called “passing the message”.
The rules of the game
1. Each group is made up of 4-5 people. The first person reads the sentences on the slip of paper for 30 seconds and tries to remember them.
5. Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owes the world.
6. When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible -- then forget it.
Activity 2: Video watching
Watch the video clip and answer the questions below.
1. What does the host say body language can do? 2. What should we pay attention to when observing
93% of what we communicate with others is non-verbal — Bang, bang, bang! — 93%! Think about that. 93%! So it’s our tone of voice, our pitch (音高), our posture (姿态), micro-expressions on our face and different gestures that we might use. So we put all the significance on 7% for words; we shouldn’t have really been doing that.
