Text 1Section 1Man: Hello,this is Land Transport information at toronto Airport.Woman: Oh,good morning,I’m flying to toronto Airportnext week, and I need to get to a town called um,Milton.Cpould you tell mehow I can get there?Man: Milton,did you say? Let me see. I think that’s about 150 miles south-west of here .In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least –say ,three to four hours by road.Woman: Wow! Is it as far as that?Man: yes,I’m afraid so.But you have a number of options to get you here and you can always rent a car right hereat the airport,of course.Woman: Right. Well, I don’t really want to drive myself ，so I’d like more information about public transport.Man: Ok.In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab and of course there are always plenty available.But it’ll cost you.you can also take a greyhound bus or there’s an airport shuttle Service to Miiton.Woman: Hummm, I think for that kind of distance a cab would be way beyond my budget. But the bus sounds OK.Can you tell me how much that would cost? Man: Sure. Let’s see. That wold be $15 one way,or $27.50 return. That’s on the Greyhound.Woman:Oh,that’s quite cheap-great!.but whereabouts does ie stop in Milton?Man: It goes directly from the airport here to the City Centre and it’s pretty fast.But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day, so it depends what time your flight gets in.Woman: Oh,of course. Hang on, we’re due to get there at 11:30 am.Man: Hmmm, too bad, the bus leaves at 3:45, so you would have quite a wait – more than 4 hours.Woman:Oh,I see. Well, what about the shuttle you mentioned?Man: OK. That’s the Airport Shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address. It’s a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better,because there’s one every two hours.Woman: So how much does that cost?Man: Let’s see. Yeah, that’s $35 one way, $65 return, so I guess it’s a bit more expensive than the Greyhound.Woman:Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad.especially if it*ll take me straight to the hotel. Man:But you do need to reserve a seat.Woman:OK. Is it possible to make a booking right now? Through you?Man:Sure.Man: OK.I just have to fill this form out for you. So what date do you want to book this for?Woman:The 16th of Octobler –oh,no,sorry.that’s my departure date. I arrive on the 17th, so book it for then,please.Man: So, That’s the Toronto Airport Shuttle to Milton.And this is for just one person or…?Woman: yes, just me, please.Man:Right. And you said your excepted time of arrival was 11:30? So if I book your Shuttle for after 12:00- let’s say, 12:30 that should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage maybe grab a coffee?Woman:Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as we land on time!Man: Well,we’ll take you flight details so you don’t need to warry too much about that. Now. what about the fare? What sort of ticket do you want? One way or…？Woman:Yes,that’ll be fine, provided I can book the return trip once I’m there.Man:No problem – just allow a couple of days in advanced to make sure you get a seat. And what’s you name, please?Woman:Janet, Janet Thomson.Man:Is that Thompson spelt with a “p”?Woman: No,it’s T-H-O-M-S-O-N.Man: OK,And you’ll be coming from t he UK? What flight will you be travelling on? Woman:Oh, it’s Air Canada flight number AC936, from London Heathrow.Man:Right. Now,do you know where you’ll be staying? We need to give the driver an address.Woman:yes, it’s called the Vacation Mote-and I thi nk it’s near the town centre.Anyway, the address is 24 Kitchener Street- that’s kitchener street.Man: That’s fine. Right. So that’s $35 to pay please. Have you get your credit card number there？Woman:Yes, it’s a VISA card ,and the number is 3303 8450 2045 6837Man: OK，well,that seems to be everything .have a good trip and we’ll see you in Toronto next week.Woman:yes, bye-ok, thanks for your help!Section 2Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. It’s nice to see many people in the audience . For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping , let me start by giving you some background information about the company.The company started twenty-five years ago. It actually opened as a retail chain selling camping equipment and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK ,and began offering camping holidays. The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years.If you book a camping holiday with us, you’ll have a choice of over three hundred sites. In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland. We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain, particularly in the mountainous region of picos de Europa. We’ve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star ratingWe believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all or part of the day can take advantage of our children’s activities. These are organised by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activities. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. What’s mor e, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise rule in the evenings. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10, and from 10:30 holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you haven’t organised an annual insurance policy of your own you’ll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you take your holiday reservation.There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer. You’ll be kept informed of special offers. And your friends can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, we’ll send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think of every essential detail, from an oven and cooking rings fuelled by bottled gas, to mirrors in the bedroom areas. If you don’t want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available, and there’s even a picnic blanket to sit on outside your tent. Inside, a box of games and toys can be found, and children’s tents can be hired if required, All tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box, which will keep your food and drinks chilled. There are excellent washing facilities at all our sites, with washing machines and clothes lines in the central areas, along with mops and buckets in case your tent needs cleaning during your stay. All sites have a cafe and/or a shop for those who’d rather ‘eat in’ than dine at a local restaurant.Section 3Tutor:Well, you’ve both been looking at different styles of managing individuals，in companies and the workplace. How’s the research going,philip?Philip:Well, I’ve been looking at why individualism, I mean individual difference, are such an important area of management studies. When you think about any organization, be it a family business or a multinational company, they are all fund amentally a group of people working together. But it’s what these individuals contribute to their pleases of work that makes you realize how important they are. Of course they bring different ideas, but it’s also their attitudes and their experiences of learning. Diversity is important in these areas too.Tutor:So why do people behave so differently from one another at work?Philip:There are lots of reason but research has shown a lot of it comes down topersonality. And the other factor is gender. It’s a well known fact that men and women do lots of things in different ways, and the workplace is no different.Tutor:Did you look at the effects of this variation on companies?Philip:Yes, I did. On the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately individual difference are also the root of conflict between staff and they can lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious.**********************************************Tutor:Thanks,philip. So now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Janice, you were looking at identifying different talents in workers Do you think this is easy for managers to do? Janice:Well,currently teamwork is in fashion in the workplace and in my opinion the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What managers should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in a situation and are not afraid to accept the idea of responsibility.Tutor:That’s true. Janice but unfortunately many managers think the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff is far too hard.Janice:Yes. That may be true but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the individual on one hand and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension.Tutor:So Janice, what kind of people do you think companies should be looking for? Janice Well, it has to start from the very beginning when companies are looking for new employees. When the personal department is choosing between applicants they need to look for someone who’s broken the mould and can think for themselves. Instead, people making these decisions often ues a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver, or will do as they’re told. I’m not convinced these qualities are actually the most important.Tutor:So do you think being a good team player is overrated?Janice No,it’s not overrated. You do need to learn the rules and learn them fast. No individual can get around this if you’re working in an organization.Tutor:So how should managers deal with this?Janice Rewards. When an individual demonstrates, the behaviour the organisation expects, some kind of incentive can be given. What’s important here is that this happens right at the beginning so new recruits learn the rules of the system immediately. Also the incentive should be something the individual actually wants, and this isn’t always just money。

上一篇和大家分享了剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3范文-Family parties（上），本片接着分享剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3范文-National celebrations(下)。
剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3范文-National celebrations(下)4. Q: What kinds of national celebration do you have in your country?A: Chinese people like to celebrate important festivals like the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. On that day, there is going to be a national party on TV, and some actors and actresses will give performances and the TV viewers are truly entertained by this show. This is also the case during the Mid-Autumn Festival as well. Oh, I forgot to mention, we have the national celebration on the National Day as well.5. Q: Who tends to enjoy national celebrations more: young people or old people? Why?A: I guess old people are going to enjoy national celebrations more. They really care about the traditions of China. They enjoy the get-togethers initiated by the festivals. As for the young, they enjoy the activities to be done at festivals. They love the celebrations just because they love the fun.6. Q: Why do you think some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why?A: National celebrations bring about the festival atmosphere. Chinese like to set the fireworks or firecrackers at festivals, and a lot of citizens enjoy the scene. They go to the square to see the firework displays, and they wouldn’t complain that the government is wasting the money.雅思口语考官标准答案剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3范文：1. Q: What kinds of national celebrations do you have in your country?A: We have several main national holidays in our country. The first and most important is the Spring Festival. This is to celebrate the end of the Chinese lunar year. Another is the Dragon Boat festival. This festival celebrates a famous Chinese poet named Qu Yuan. Still another is Mid Autumn day. During this holiday we eat a traditional dish known as moon cake.2. Q: Who tends to enjoy national celebrations more: young people or old people? Why?A: I think that older people tend to enjoy national celebrations more than the younger generation. Older people tend to value traditional holidays because they feel more connected to them. The younger people like western holidays such as Valentine’s Day because they like the romantic aspects that are not present in national holidays. Also because of an interest in different cultures they like to celebrate holidays that are not part of the Chinese calendar.3. Q: Why do you think some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why?A: No, I do not believe that spending money on government celebrations is a waste of money. National holidays are an important part of our culture and help to create a sense of being Chinese. There proud patriotic feelings are shared by all people and the celebrations are for everyone. While some people view the money as misspent, I believe that it is important to properly celebrate our culture and identity.。
剑桥雅思7TEST1阅读PASSAGE3阅读参考译文：暗示教学法
雅思为各位考生推荐复习材料-剑桥雅思阅读7TEST1PASSAGE3译文,与文单元内容相关的译文，请各位考生点击：剑桥雅思7 Test1 Pessage2 参考译文：节约每滴水；剑桥雅思7Test1 Pessage1 参考译文：走近蝙蝠。
TEST 1 PASSAGE 3 参考译文：暗示教学法Bernie Neville的《暗示教学法》一书，主要着眼于激进的新式学习方法，讲述了情感、想象力以及潜意识在学习过程中所起的作用。
书中讨论到了由Geaorge Lozanov提出的一个理论，那就是暗示的力量。
Lozanov的教学技巧主要基于这样的证据：在无意识状态下(他称此为非特异性心理反应)大脑所作出的各种联系要比在有意识状态下作出的持续更长时间。
除了实验室证据可以证明这一点之外，我们自身的经历也表明我们通常会记住自己所观察到的周边信息，而忘记最开始的学习目的。
回想一下几个月前或是几年前学过的课本，会发现我们能够轻易地回想起一些无关紧要的细节，比如书的颜色、装订、字体或是我们当时在图书馆阅读此书时做过的桌子，而不是回想起当时我们集中精力所看的课本的内容。
再试着回想一下我们曾经认真聆听过的讲座，较之应该听到的演讲主题而言，我们会更容易回想起演讲者的容貌和举止风度，我们在报告厅的位置甚至是当时坏掉的空调。
及时这些周边细节是比较容易忘掉的，但在催眠状态下，或是当我们像演心理剧那样在想象中重温当时的情景时，这些周边信息就能很快的被回想起来。
而另一方面，演讲内容的细节信息早就被抛到九霄云外去了。
这种现象的产生有一部分归因于常见的起反作用效果的学习方法(拼尽全力去记忆，令肌肉紧张，最终导致疲惫)。
但同时它也恰恰反映出大脑运转的方式。
据此Lozanov建立了他教育系统的核心：间接教学法，也叫暗示法。
在他称之为暗示教学法(suggestopedia)的方法中，学生的注意力被从本该集中精力学习的课程上转移到了外部信息上。
这样课程本身就成了外部信息，由此就可以被大脑的储备功能来处理。

剑桥雅思 IELTS 听力原文
Hello?Oh, hello. I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the Village Hall, for the evening of September the first.Let me just see...Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.There's our Main Hall-that's got seating for 200 people. Or there's the Charlton Room... Sorry?The Charlton Room - C-H-A-R-l-T-0-N.That's got seating for up to one hundred.Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least 150 people,so I think we'll go for the Main Hall.How much would that cost?Let's see. You wanted it for the evening of September 1st?Yes, that's a Saturday.So from 6 p. m. to midnight that'd be 115 pounds-that's the weekend price, it's 75 pounds on weekdays.That's all right.And I have to tell you there's also a deposit of 250 pounds, which is returnable of course as long as there's no damage.But we do insist that this is paid in cash, we don't take cards for that.You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like though cash, credit card, cheque... Oh, well I suppose that's OK.So does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on? Oh, yes.And what about parking?Yeah that's all included.The only thing that isn't included is that...you said you were organising a dinner?Yeah.Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that. It's 25 pounds.It's got very good facilities — good quality cookers and fridges and so on.OK, well I suppose that's all right.We can cover the cost in our entry charges.Right. So I'll make a note of that.Now there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.Oh, really?It's quite straightforward, I'll give you the details later on.And about a week or ten days before your event you'll need to contact the caretaker, that's Mr Evans,to make the arrangements for entry- he'Il sort that out with you.And do I give him the payment as well?No, you do that directly with me.Right. Now is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?Well, as you'll be aware, of course the building is no smoking throughout.Of course.Now, are you having a band?Yes.Well, they'll have a lot of equipment,so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at the end.OK.And talking of bands, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire doorthat's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level. It's a legal requirement. Sure. Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another so we don't want anything too loud.Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches-are there any microphones available? Yeah. Just let the caretaker know, he'll get those for you.Right, now when the event is over we do ask that the premises are left in good condition. So there's a locked cupboard and you'Il be informed of the code you need to open that.It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.Right, so what do we need to do after everyone's gone?Sweep the floors I suppose?Well actually they have to be washed not just swept.Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags,so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door.Of course. We'll make sure everything's left tidy.Oh. and I forgot to ask.I presume we can have decorations in the room?Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.Sure.And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.Test1(section2-1)Welcome to the Fiddy Working Heritage Farm.This open-air museum gives you the experience of agriculture and rural life in the English countryside at the end of the nineteenth century.So you'll see a typical farm of that period, and like me, all the staff are dressed in clothes of that time.I must give you some advice and safety tips before we go any further.As it's a working farm, please don't frighten or injure the animals.We have a lot here, and many of them are breeds that are now quite rare.And do stay at a safe distance from the tools:some of them have sharp points which can be pretty dangerous, so please don't touch them. We don't want any accidents, do we?The ground is very uneven, and you might slip if you're wearing sandalsso I'm glad to see you're all wearing shoes - we always advise people to do that.Now, children of all ages are very welcome here, and usually even very young children love the ducks and lambs,so do bring them along next time you come.I don't think any of you have brought dogs with you, but in case you have,I'm afraid they'll have to stay in the car park, unless they're guide dogs.I'm sure you'll understand that they could cause a lot of problems on a farm.Test1(section2-2)Now let me give you some idea of the layout of the farm.The building where you bought your tickets is the New Barn, immediately to your right,and we're now at the beginning of the main path to the farmland — and of course the car park is on your left.The scarecrow you can see in the car park in the corner beside the main path,is a traditional figure for keeping the birds away from crops, but our scarecrow is a permanent sculpture.It's taller than a human being, so you can see it from quite a distance.If you look ahead of you you'll see a maze.It's opposite the New Barn beside the side path that branches off to the right just over there. The maze is made out of hedges which are too tall for young children to see over them,but it's quite small, so you can't get lost in it!Now can you see the bridge crossing the fish pool further up the main path?If you want to go to the cafe go towards the bridge and turn right just before it.Walk along the side path and the cafe's on the first bend you come to.The building was originally the schoolhouse, and it's well over a hundred years old.As you may know, we run skills workshops here,where you can learn traditional crafts like woodwork and basket-making.You can see examples of the work, and talk to someone about the courses, in the Black Barn. If you take the side path to the right here just by the New Barn you'll come to the Black Barn just where the path first bends.Now I mustn't forget to tell you about picnicking, as I can see some of you have brought your lunch with you.You can picnic in the field, though do clear up behind you, of course.Or if you'd prefer a covered picnic area there's one near the farm yard:just after you cross the bridge there's a covered picnics spot on the right.And the last thing to mention is Fiddy House itself.From here you can cross the bridge then walk along the foot path through the field to the left of the farm yard.That goes to the house, and it'll give you a lovely view of it.It's certainly worth a few photographs, but as it's a private home, I'm afraid you can't go inside. Right. Well, if you're all ready, we'll set off on our tour of the farm.Test1(section3-1)OK, Greg, so I finally managed to read the article you mentionedthe one about the study on gender in physics.About the study of college students done by Akira Miyake and his team?Yeah. I was interested that the researchers were actually a mix of psychologists and physicists. That's an unusual combination.Yeah. I got a little confused at first about which students the study was based on.They weren't actually majoring in physics —they were majoring in what's known as the STEM disciplines.That's science, technology, engineering and...-...and math.Yes, but they were all doing physics courses as part of their studies.That's correct. So as I understood it,Miyake and co started from the fact that women are underrepresented in introductory physics courses at college,and also that on average, the women who do enrol on these courses perform more poorly than the men.No one really knows why this is the case.Yeah. But what the researchers wanted to find out was basically what they could do about the relatively low level of the women's results.But in order to find a solution they needed to find out more about the nature of the problem. Right. Now let's see if I can remember...it was that in the physics class,the female students thought the male students all assumed that women weren't any good at physics...was that it?And they thought that the men expected them to get poor results in their tests.That's what the women thought, and that made them nervous, so they did get poor results. But actually they were wrong...No one was making an assumptions about the female students at all.Anyway, what Miyake's team did was quite simple — getting the students to do some writing before they went into the physics class.What did they call it?Values-affirmation —they had to write an essay focusing on things that were significant to them,not particularly to do with the subject they were studying,but more general things like music or people who mattered to them.Right. So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way. And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance. Yeah.But what the researchers in the study hadn't expected was that this one activity raised the women's physics grades from the C to the B range.A huge change. Pity it wasn't to an A, but still!No, but it does suggest that the women were seriously underperforming beforehand, in comparison with the men.Yes. Mind you, Miyake's article left out a lot of details.Like, did the students do the writing just once, or several times?And had they been told why they were doing the writing? That might have affected the results. You mean, if they know the researchers thought it might help them to improve, then they'd just try to fulfil that expectation?Exactly.Test1(section3-2)So anyway, I thought for our project we could do a similar study,but investigate whether it really was the writing activity that had that result.OK.So we could ask them to do a writing task about something completely different...something more factual?Like a general knowledge topic.Maybe...or we could have half the students doing a writing task and half doing something else, like an oral task.Or even, half do the same writing task as in the original research and half do a factual writing task.Then we'd see if it really is the topic that made the difference, or something else.That's it. Good. So at our meeting with the supervisor on Monday we can tell him we've decided on our project.We should have our aims ready by then.I suppose we need to read the original study — the article's just a summary.And there was another article I read, by Smolinsky.It was about her research on how women and men perform in mixed teams in class, compared with single-sex teams and on their own.Let me guess...the women were better at teamwork.That's what I expected, but actually the men and the women got the same results whether they were working in teams or on their own.But I guess it's not that relevant to us.What worries me anyway is how we're going to get everything done in the time.We'll be OK now we know what we're doing.Though I'm not clear how we assess whether the students in our experiment actually make any progress or not...No. We may need some advice on that.The main thing's to make sure we have the right size sample, not too big or too small.That shouldn't be difficult.Right, what do we need to do next?We could have a look at the time table for the science classes...or perhaps we should just make an appointment to see one of the science professors. That'd be better.Great. And we could even get to observe one of the classes.What for?Well...OK maybe let's just go with your idea. Right, well...Test1(section4-1)I've been looking at ocean biodiversity, that's the diversity of species that live in the world's oceans.About 20 years ago biologists developed the idea of what they called 'biodiversity hotspots'. These are the areas which have the greatest mixture of species, so one example is Madagascar. These hotspots are significant because they allow us to locate key areas for focusing efforts at conservation.Biologists can identify hotspots on land, fairly easily,but until recently, very little was known about species distribution and diversity in the oceans, and no one even knew if hotspots existed there.Then a Canadian biologist called Boris Worm did some research in 2005 on data on ocean species that he got from the fishing industry.Worm located five hotspots for large ocean predators like sharks, and looked at what they had in common.The main thing he'd expected to find was that they had very high concentrations of foodbut to his surprise that was only true for four of the hotspots — the remaining hotspot was quite badly off in that regard.But what he did find was that in all cases,the water at the surface of the ocean had relatively high temperatures even when it was cool at greater depths,so this seemed to be a factor in supporting a diverse range of these large predators. However, this wasn't enough on its own, because he also found that the water needed to have enough oxygen in itso these two factors seemed necessary to support the high metabolic rate of these large fish.A couple of years later, in 2007, a researcher called Lisa Ballance, who was working in California,also started looking for ocean hotspots, but not for fishwhat she was interested in was marine mammals things like seals.And she found three places in the oceans which were hotspots,and what these had in common was that these hotspots were all located at boundaries between ocean currents,and this seems to be the sort of place that has lots of the plankton that some of these speciesfeed on.So now people who want to protect the species that are endangered need to get as much information as possible.For example, there's an international project called the Census of Marine Life.They've been surveying oceans all over the world, including the Arctic.One thing they found there which stunned other researchers was that there were large numbers of species which live below the icesometimes under a layer up to 20 meters thick.Some of these species had never been seen before.They've even found species of octopus living in these conditions.And other scientists working on the same project,but researching very different habitats on the ocean floor,have found large numbers of species congregating around volcanoes, attracted to them by the warmth and nutrients there.Test1(section4-2)However, biologists still don't know how serious the threat to their survival is for each individual species.So a body called the Global Marine Species Assessment is now creating a list of endangered species on land.So they consider things like the size of the population — how many members of one species there are in a particular placeand then they look at their distribution in geographical terms.Although this is quite difficult when you're looking at fish, because they're so mobile,and then thirdly the calculate the rate at which the decline of the species is happening.So far only 1,500 species have been assessed, but they want to increase this figure to 20,000. For each one they assess, they use the data they collect on that species to produce a map showing its distribution.Ultimately they will be able to use these to figure out not only where most species are located but also where they are most threatened.So finally, what can be done to retain the diversity of species in the world's oceans? Firstly, we need to set up more reserves in our oceans, places where marine species are protected.We have some, but not enough.In addition, to preserve species such as leatherback turtles,which live out in the high seas but have their nesting sites on the American coast,we need to create corridors for migration, so they can get from one area to another safely. As well as this, action needs to be taken to lower the levels of fishing quotas to prevent overfishing of endangered species.And finally, there's the problem of 'by-catch'.This refers to the catching of unwanted fish by fishing boats — they're returned to the sea, but they're often dead or dying.If these commercial fishing boats used equipment which was more selective,so that only the fish wanted for consumption were caught, this problem could be overcome. OK. So does anyone have any questions...。
剑桥雅思5、6、7 test1 听力原文
TEST 1SECTION 1RECEPTIONIST:Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help youCUSTOMER:Oh hello. I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here. RECEPTIONIST: Yes. We operate several tours up the coast. Where in particular did you want to goCUSTOMER:Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales. Was it 'Whale Watching'RECEPTIONIST:Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience. lt's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.CUSTOMER:Oh right, and how long does it lastRECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here. CUSTOMER:Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach RECEPTIONIST:Actually it's by minibus. We like to keep those tours small and personal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, we only take up to fifteen people on this tour, although we do run it with just twelve or thirteen.CUSTOMER:Oh, right. So do you run these tours oftenRECEPTIONIST:Well it depends on the time of year. Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at the moment it's usually once a month at most. CUSTOMER:And when is the next one goingRECEPTIONIST:Mmm, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd.CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to goRECEPTIONIST:Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year. I have to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.CUSTOMER:ReallyRECEPTIONIST:Yes. The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities. It's called The Pallisades.CUSTOMER:The Paris whatRECEPTIONIST:No, it's actually The Pallisades, P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S. It's right on the main beach there.CUSTOMER:Oh, I see.RECEPTIONIST:All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too. CUSTOMER:Oh right.CUSTOMER:And what about the other things You know, that are included in the price. RECEPTIONIST: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That's an extra $12 I think.And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more or less the same.CUSTOMER: No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.RECEPTIONIST:Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to pay for those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide.CUSTOMER: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price RECEPTIONIST: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check. Er...oh, it's actually $280.CUSTOMER:And the next tour, are there any places on that oneRECEPTIONIST:HOW many people Is It forCUSTOMER: These are two of us.RECEPTIONIST: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require allbookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your total booking. CUSTOMER:OK.RECEPTIONIST: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking. CUSTOMER:Can I pay that by credit cardRECEPTIONIST: Yes, you can.CUSTOMER: All right, what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you. RECEPTIONIST:Fine.

Do you have a penCUSTOMER: Yes.RECEPTIONIST:OK, it's three nine seven, four five, T. That's T for tango. When you call back, ask to speak to the Tour Manager, that's me, Tracy.CUSTOMER:Fine, I will.SECTION 2Hello and welcome to today's“Buyer Beware”programme, where we give you some tips on how to spend your money wisely. How, in today's show we're looking at beds for children and babies. Let's start by looking at baby cots, that's for children of up to three years old. We tested three different cots all in the budget price range and, as usual, we will feature the good points, the problems and our verdict.The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it. Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels, so it was easy to move around. The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes, but they didn't think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of “satisfactory.The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together - unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars; our testers found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head. We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous, I'm afraid.And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot. This cot was slightly different in that, although the side bar did not drop down, the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient. The negatives for this one were quite minor; the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily becomedetached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy. Congratulations Mother's Choice!So, what features should you look for in a baby's cot Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience. We recommend that, if you are buying a cot, do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way. You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges, this is especially important for wooden cots. And now on to beds for toddlers ...SECTION 3ANDREW:Excuse me, I was told to come here for advice about, erm, Management Diploma coursesMONICA:You've certainly come to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.ANDREW: Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.MONICA:So, Andrew, have you seen our diploma course prospectus yetANDREW: Yes, I've already looked at it. In fact, I thought the information on course content was really useful, but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course: full-time intensive, part-time and so on.MONICA: Well, let's see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you-your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the momentANDREW:Yes. I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I've got about five years of relevant work experience. And what I'm hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.MONICA: I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a year offANDREW:I want to know what my options are, really. I don't want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.MONICA: Right, so you don't really want to do the full-time course, thenANDREW: No, not really. It's also a question of finances. You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the Course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year. MONICA: OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course- that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work - or you could do what we call a 'modular' course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.ANDREW:Mmm. So what does the part-time course involveMONICA:For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.ANDREW: What kind of coursework would I have to doMONICA:Well, it's a mixture. You'd be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short reportevery four weeks.ANDREW:So, that's quite a lot of work, then, on top of working every day. It sounds like a lot of studying - and really tiring.MONICA: Yes, you certainly wouldn't have much free time!ANDREW: What about the 'modular' course What would I have to do for thatMONICA: That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods. That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day. And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time. There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better.ANDREW:And how many of these 'modules' would I have to do to get the diploma MONICA: The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you.ANDREW: The important thing is that you don't have to study and work. You can focus on one thing at a time.MONICA: Yes, I can see that. It certainly sounds attractive! It would be more expensive, though.I mean, I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.ANDREW:That's true, so that might be a problem for you. Look, why don't you talk this over with your employers and ...SECTION 4OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different things:Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand polities, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.' lie also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes to economic matters.Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is their retirement. When they're earning, they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are.Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing care, because they don't have a spouse to look after them.Furthermore the high divorce rates in North America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most often have to look after the children and thus they need more money to look. after not just themselves but others.So what can be done about this situation The population in North America is likely to contain an increasing number of elderly women. The research indicates that at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overcome this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people's advice. A number of initiatives have been set up to help them do this. This College, for example, is one of the educational institutions which offers night classes in Money Management, and increasing numbers of women are enrolling on such courses. Here, they can be given advice on different ways of saving. Many women are unwilling to invest in stocks and shares, for instance, but these can be extremely profitable. It is usually advised that at least 70% of a person's savings should be in low-risk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some well-informed risks. Initiatives such as this can give women the economic skills and knowledge they need for a comfortable, independent retirement.The increasing proportion of elderly women in the population is likely to have other economic consequences...C6T1TAPESCRIPTSSECTION 1MAN: Right, got that. And what’s the next typeWOMAN: Well, that’s Silver—it’s the same as Gold except you have to pay a small fee of ￡1,00 per lesson for any you do and you can only use the centre at certain times.MAN: I see. So when exactly？WOMAN: You can only use the facilities between 10 am and 4:30 pm.MAN: So I couldn’t use the pool at 8 in the morning or evening, thenWOMAN: That’s right.MAN: OK. And the price for that Is the joining fee the same as for GoldWOMAN: Actually, it’s slightly less than the ￡250—it’s ￡225, but the annual fee is only ￡300. Does that sound more like what you wantMAN: Well, it’s still rather more expensive than I thought. I’m a student here in England and I’m only here for six months.WOMAN: Ah, then the Bronze scheme would probably suit you best.MAN: How is that differentWOMAN: Well, some of the facilities have restricted use.MAN: And do I have to pay for classesWOMAN: Yes, it’s ￡3 for each class you join.MAN: I see. And what are the hours thenWOMAN: Between 10.30 and 3.30 weekdays only and you pay a ￡50 joining fee. The annual fee is ￡180—it works out at ￡15 a month, so that would be quite a lot cheaper.MAN: Oh, that should be all right. I could come in my free periods. What do I have to do if I want to joinWOMAN: Well, we book you in for an assessment with an instructor, who will show you how to use all the equipment. If you want to organize a trial session and look around the centre, you’ll need to speak to David Kynchley.MAN: Hmm. Could you spell that pleaseWOMAN: Yes, David K-Y-N-C-H-L-E-Y. I’ll give you his direct line number. It’s oh-four-five-eight-nine-five-three-double one.MAN: Thanks.WOMAN: Thank you for calling Kingswell Club.SECTION 2MAN: And here on Radio Rivenden we have Lynne Rawley, the Public Relations Officer of our own Rivenden City Theatre. Hello, Lynne.L YNNE: Hello.MAN: Now, the theatre is reopening soon after its three-year redevelopment program, isn’t itL YNNE: That’s right, and there are a lot of improvements. The first thing people will see when they go in is that the foyer has been repainted in the original green and gold. Then the box office has been reoriented with its own access form the side of the building instead of through the foyer, which means it can be open longer hours, and has more space, too. The shop that used to be in the foyer, which sold books and CDs, is the one part of the redevelopment which isn’t yet complete. The plan is to find new premises for it near the theatre, and we’ve had difficulty findingsomewhere suitable. We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months.MAN: Will audiences find any difference in the auditoriumL YNNE: Yes, we’ve increased the leg-room between the rows. This means that there are now fewer seats but we’re sure audiences will be much happier. And we’ve installed air conditioning, so it won’t get so hot and stuffy. We already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many, which we hope will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts. The two we used to have were small and slow. They’ve now gone, and we’ve got much more efficient ones.MAN: Anything for the performersL YNNE: Yes, we’ve made a number of improveme nts backstage. The small dark dressing rooms we used to have have been converted into two large airy rooms, so they’re much more comfortable now. And the state-of-the-art electronic sound and lighting systems have been installed.MAN: OK, so what’s the fir st play that audiences can see when the theatre reopensL YNNE: We’ve got a very exciting production of Peter Shaffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun, which is currently touring the country. That starts on October the 13th and runs till the 19th. We’re experimenting bit with the time the curtain goes up. We used to start all our performances at 7.30, but that made it difficult for people to go home by public transport, so instead we’re beginning at 7. Because at 9.45, when it finished, there are still buses running. Tickets are already selling fast. The Friday and Saturday performances sold out almost immediately and, now there are only tickets for Monday and Thursday.MAN: How much are theyL YNNE: We’ve introduced a simpler price structure. Ticket prices used to ran ge from ￡6 to ￡30 but now they’re all ￡18. They’re available from the box office, in person, by phone, fax or post, or onlineMAN: OK, Lynne, now if you’d like to give the contact details for the theatre.SECTION 3TUTOR: Hello, can I help youBRIAN: I was told to come here, because I’d like to talk to someone about taking a management course.TUTOR: Right. I’m one of the tutors, so I should be able to help you.BRIAN: Oh, good. My name’s Brian Ardley. I’ve decided to enroll on a part-time management course. A friend of mine took one last year, and recommended it to me.TUTOR: Right.BRIAN: Is there anything I should do before the course, like reading or anythingTUTOR: We prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we don’t give out a reading list in advance. But we like people to write a case study, describing an organization they know. BRIAN: I’ve already done that, as my friends told me you wanted one. But would it be possible to sit in on a teaching session, to see what it’s like I haven’t been a stu dent for quite a while. TUTOR: Fine. Just let me know which date, I’ll arrange it with the tutor.BRIAN: Now, could I ask you about the college facilities, pleaseTUTOR: Anything in particularBRIAN: Well, the course is one day a week, all day, isn’t it So presumably it’s possible to buy foodTUTOR: Yes, the refectory’s open all day.BRIAN: Does it cater for special diets I have some food allergies.TUTOR: Provided you warn the refectory in advance, it won’t be a problem.BRIAN: Good. What about facilities for young children I’d like to bring my daughter here while I’m studying.TUTOR: How old is sheBRIAN: Three.TUTOR: Then she’s eligible to join the nursery, which is supervised by a qualified Nursery Nurse. The waiting list for a place is quite long though, so you ought to apply now.BRIAN: OK.TUTOR: I don’t know if our careers advice service would be of any interest to youBRIAN: Yes, it might help me decide how to develop my career after the course.TUTOR: The centre has a lot of reference materials, and staff qualified to give guidance on a one-to-one basis.BRIAN: I noticed a fitness centre next to the college. Is that for studentsTUTOR: It’s open to everyone, but students pay an annual fee that’s much less than the general public pays.BRIAN: And presumably the college library stocks newspapers and journals, as well as books TUTOR: Yes, and there’s also an audio-visual room, for viewing and listening to videos, cassettes, and so on.BRIAN: Is there also access to computersTUTOR: Yes, your tutor will need to arrange with the technical support team for you to get a password, so ask him or her about it when you start the course.BRIAN: OK.TUTOR: By the way, do you know about our Business CentreBRIAN: No. What’s thatTUTOR: It’s a training resource-a collection of materials for people to study on their own, or use in their own organizations.BRIAN: Uhuh. You mean books and videosTUTOR: Yes, and manuals for self-study. Plus a lot of computer-based materials, so people can word through them a t their own speed, and repeat anything they aren’t sure about. And you can hire laptops to use in your own home or workplaces as well as printers that you can take away. BRIAN: Does it have anything that I could use to improve my study skills I don’t have much idea about report writing, and I’m sure I’ll need it on the course.TUTOR: Oh yes, there’s plenty of useful material. Just ask one of the staff.BRIAN: Does the centre cover all the main areas of businessTUTOR: Yes, topics like finance, and of course marketing-that’s a popular one. Local managers seem to queue up to borrow the videos!BRIAN: So it isn’t just for students, thenTUTOR: No, it’s for members only, but anyone can join.BRIAN: How much does it costTUTOR: ￡100 a year for a company, and ￡50 for an individual, with no discount for students, I’m afraid.BIRAN: That’s very helpful. Well, I think that’s all. I’d better go home and fill in the enrolment form. Thanks for all your help.TUTOR: You’re welcome. Goodbye.BRIAN: Goodbye.SECTION 4In the last few weeks, we’ve been looking at various aspects of the social history of London, and this morning we’re continuing with a look at life in the area called the East End. I’ll start with a brief history of the district, and then focus on life in the first half of the twentieth century.Back in the first to the fourth centuries AD, when the Romans controlled England, London grew into a town of 45,000 people, and what’s now the East End – the area by the river Thames, and along the road heading north-east from London to the coast – consisted of farmland with crops and livestock which helped to feed that population.The Romans left in 410, at the beginning of the fifth century, and from then onwards the country suffered a series of invasions by tribes from present-day Germany and Denmark, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, and many of whom settled in the East End. The technology they introduced meant that metal and leather goods were produced there for the first time. And as the East End was by the river, ships could transport goods between there and foreign markets.In the eleventh century, in 1066 to be precise, the Normans conquered England, and during the next few centuries London became one of the most powerful and prosperous cities in Europe. The East End benefited from this, and because there were fewer restrictions there than in the city itself, plenty of newcomers settled there from abroad, bringing their skills as workers, merchants or money – lenders during the next few hundred years.In the sixteenth century the first dock was dug where ships were constructed, eventually making the East End the focus of massive international trade. And in the late sixteenth century, when much of the rest of England was suffering economically, a lot of agricultural workers came to the East End to look for alternative work.In the seventeenth century, the East End was still a series of separate, semi-rural settlements. There was a shortage of accommodation, so marshland was drained and built on to house the large numbers of people now living there.By the nineteenth century London was the busiest port in the world, and this became the main source of employment in the East End. Those who could afford to live in more pleasant surroundings moved out, and the area became one where the vast majority of people lived in extreme poverty, and suffered from appalling sanitary conditions.That brief outline takes us to beginning of the twentieth century, and now we’ll turn to housing.At the beginning of the century, living conditions for the majority of working people in East London were very basic indeed. Houses were crowded closely together and usually very badly built, because there was no regulation. But the poor and needy were attracted by the possibility of work, and they had to be housed. It was the availability, rather than the condition, of the housing that was the major concern for tenants and landlords alike.Few houses had electricity at this time, so other sources of power were used, like coal for the fires which heated perhaps just one room. Of course, the smoke from these contributed a great deal of the air pollution for which London used to be famous.A tiny, damp, unhealthy house like this might well be occupied by two full families, possibly including several children, grandparents, aunts and uncles.Now, before I go on to health implications of this way of life, I’ll say something about food and nutrition.TAST 1Section1Man: Hello,this is Land Transport information at toronto Airport.Woman: Oh,good morning,I’m flying to toronto Airportnext week, and I need to get to a town called um,Milton.Cpould you tell me how I can get there Man: Milton,did you say Let me see. I think that’s about 150 miles south-west of here .In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least –say ,three to four hours by road.Woman: Wow! Is it as far as thatMan: yes,I’m afraid so.But you have a number of options to get you here and you can always rent a car right hereat the airport,of course.Woman: Right. Well, I don’t really want to drive myself ，so I’d like more information about public transport.Man: Ok.In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab and of course there are always plenty available.But it’ll cost you.you can also take a greyhound bus or there’s an airport shuttle Service to Miiton.Woman: Hummm, I think for that kind of distance a cab would be way beyond my budget. But the bus sounds OK.Can you tell me how much that would costMan: Sure. Let’s see. That wold be $15 one way,or $27.50 return. That’s on the Greyhound. Woman:Oh,that’s quite cheap-great!.but whereabouts does ie stop in MiltonMan: It goes directly from the airport here to the City Centre and it’s pretty fast.But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day, so it depends what time your flight gets in. Woman: Oh,of course. Hang on, we’re due to get there at 11:30 am.Man: Hmmm, too bad, the bus leaves at 3:45, so you would have quite a wait – more than 4 hours. Woman:Oh,I see. Well, what about the shuttle you mentionedMan: OK. That’s the Airport Shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address. It’s a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better,because there’s one every two hours.Woman: So how much does that costMan: Let’s see. Yeah, that’s $35 one way, $65 return, so I guess it’s a bit more expensive than the Greyhound.Woman:Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad.especially if it*ll take me straight to the hotel.Man:But you do need to reserve a seat.Woman:OK. Is it possible to make a booking right now Through youMan:Sure.Man: OK.I just have to fill this form out for you. So what date do you want to book this for Woman:The 16th of Octobler –oh,no,sorry.that’s my departure date. I arrive on the 17th, so book it for then,please.Man: So, That’s the Toronto Airport Shuttle to Milton.And this is for just one person or…Woman: yes, just me, please.Man:Right. And you said your excepted time of arrival was 11:30 So if I book your Shuttle for after 12:00- let’s say, 12:30 that should g ive you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage maybe grab a coffeeWoman:Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as we land on time!Man: Well,we’ll take you flight details so you don’t need to warry too much about that.

剑7Test1Passage3
剑7Test1Passage3Educating PsycheEducating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radicalnew approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One the theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.Lozanov's instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing (which he calls non-specific mental reactivity) are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details - the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it - than the content on which were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with greatconcentration, we will recall the lecturer's appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of theair-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn, even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, as inpsychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever.This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the commoncounterproductive approach to study (making extreme efforts to memorize, tensing muscles, inducing fatigue), but it also simply reflects the way the brain functions. Lozanov therefore made indirect instruction (suggestion) central to his teaching system. In suggestopedia, as he called his method, consciousness is shifted away from the curriculum to focus on something peripheral. Thecurriculum then becomes peripheral and is dealt with by the reserve capacity of the brain.The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant (1980) it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music.The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms) and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with attention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. This is followed by several minutes of silence. In the second part, they listen to baroque music (Bach, Corelli, Handel) while the teacher reads the text in a normal speaking voice. During this time they have their books closed.During the whole of this session, their attention is passive; they listen to the music but make no attempt to learn the material.Beforehand, the students have been carefully prepared for the language learning experience. Through meeting with the staff and satisfied students they develop expectation that learning will be easy and pleasant and that they will successfully learn several hundred words of the foreign language during the class. In a preliminary talk, the teacher introduce them to the material to be covered, but does not 'teach' it. Likewise, the students are instructed not to try to learn it during this introduction.Some hours after the two-part session, there is a follow-up class at which the students are stimulated to recall the material presented.Once again the approach is indirect. The students do not focus their attention on trying to remember the vocabulary, but focus on using the language to communicate (e.g. through games or improvised dramatizations). Such method are not unusual in language teaching.What is distinctive in the suggestopedic method is that they are devoted entirely to assisting recall. The 'learning' of the material is assumed to be automatic and effortless, accomplished while listening to music. The teacher's task is to assistthe students to apply what they have learned paraconsciously, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness. Another difference fromconventional teaching is the evidence that students can regularly learn 1000 new words of foreign language during a suggestopedic session, as well as grammar and idiom.Lozanov experimented with teaching by direct suggestion during sleep, hpynossis and trance stages, but found such procedureunnecessary. Hypnosis, yoga, Silva mind-control, religious ceremonies and faith healing are all associated with successful suggestion, but none of their techniques seem to be essential to it.Such rituals may be seen as placebos. Lozanov acknowledges that the ritual surrounding suggestion in his own system is also aplacebo, but maintains that with such a placebo people are unable to or afraid to tap the reserve capacity of their brains. Like anyplacebo, it must be dispensed with authority to be effective. Just as a doctor calls on the full power of autocratic suggestion by insisting that patient take precisely this white capsule precisely three times a day before meals, Lozanov is categoric in insisting that suggestopedic session be conducted exactly in that manner designated, by trained and accredited suggestopedic teachers.White suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulatethe spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to an inadequate placeboeffect. The students have not developed he appropriate mind set.They are often not motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough 'faith'. They do not see it as 'real teaching', especially as it does not seem to involve the 'work' they have learned to believe is essential to learning.……Passage3Educating Psyche暗示教学法Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radicalnew approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning.

Well, you both been looking at different styles of managing individuals in companies and the work place (workplace), how is the research going Phillip, well I’ve looking at why individualism, I mean individual differences are such an important area of management studies. When you think about any organization, be at (it)a family business or a multinational company, there (they) are all fundamentally a group of people working together. But it’s what
realize how important they are. of course they bring different ideas, but it’s also their altitudes and experiences of learning. Diversity is important in these areas too. So why do people behave so differently from one another at work? There
down to personality. And the other fact （factor）is gender. It is a well-known fact that man and women do lots of things in different ways and the workplace is no difference (different). Did you look at the effects of these variation on companies? Yes, I did. on the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately, individual differences are also the root of conflict between staff, and they can lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious. Thanks Phillip, so now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Tom you were looking at identifying different talents in workers. Do you think this is easy for managers to do? Well currently, team work (teamwork) is in fashion in the workplace and
in my opinion, the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What manager should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in the situation, and are not afraid to accept the idea of responsibility. That’s true tom,
their stuff is far too hard. Yes, that may be true, but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the individuals on the one hand, and group cooperation and conformity (conformity) on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid intension (tension). So Tom, what kind of people do you think companies should be looking for? Well, it has to start from the very beginning, when companies are looking for new employees. When the personal (personnel)department is choosing between applicants, they need to look for someone who’s broken the mode (mould), and can think for themselves. Instead people making these decisions often use a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver or will do what (as)they are told. I’m not convinced these qualities are actually the most important. So do you think being a good team player is overated (overrated)? No, it’s not overrated you do need to learn the rules and learn them fast. No individual can get around this if you are working in an organization. So how should managers deal with this? Rewards, when an individual demonstrates the behavior the organization expects, some kind of incentive can be given. What’s important here is that this happens right at the
beginning so new recruits learn the rules of the system immediately. Also the incentive should be something the individual actually wants and this i sn’t always just money. Come back to you Phillip, you’re(you were)saying that recognition of good performers is essential. What else should managers be looking for? Well managing people means you not only have an understanding of your employees but you also recognize the culture of the organization. In fact, for some organizations, individuality and creativity may be the last thing they want to see during working hours. Very true. Yes, but managing people isn’t as easy as they looks. For example, change i n the workplace can be quite trick, especially if there is a need to increase profit. And at times like these, managers may have to give priority to profit rather than individual staff needs. Yes and that’s creates difficult situations for people. But what’s quite important is that manager are able to deal with quite high levels of personal stress. During times of change, they should be thinking not only about the strain on their staff but to (to) take time out to think of themselves.。
