14、t?Passage 1 A new study has found a positive correlation between how much television children watch and their parents stress levels.Why?Because the more television kids watch,the more theyre exposed to advertising.The more advertising they see,the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items w

15、hen they go with their parents to the store.This could generate conflict if the parents refuse.All that researchers say can contribute to parents overall stress levels.Whats the solution?Perhaps the most obvious is curtailing screen time.Commercial content is there for a reason:to elicit purchasing

16、behavior,so parents might want to shut off the TV.Researchers can see that this is easier said than done.So they suggest another option.Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purchases.The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions.Th

17、ey shouldnt try to control all purchases.Instead,parents might tell their children things like:I will listen to your advice on certain products or brands.This type of communication,the researchers assert,can lead to children,making fewer purchasing demands-that means less parent stress.However,the p

18、rotective effect of this kind of communication diminishes with greater exposure to television.This is because advertising aimed at children is especially persuasive.Advertisers use an assortment of tactics,such as bright colors,happy music and celebrity endorsements to appeal to children.Plus childr

19、en dont have the cognitive ability to fully understand advertisings intent that makes them particularly vulnerable to advertisements.Q9:What has the new study found about children watching television?Q10:What are parents advised to do to reduce the impact of TV commercials?Q11:What makes children pa

20、rticularly vulnerable to TV commercials?Passage 2 Everyone is supposed to cheer for good guys.And we should only punish the bad guys,but thats not what we always do.Most of the time we do indeed reward good people.We also often punish people who harm others or who arent good team players,but sometim

21、es the good guys also get punished or criticized specifically because they are so good.This seems baffling because its detrimental to group cooperation.However,the phenomenon has been discovered in multiple fields and it has been found in every society.Why does this happen?Research suggests a simple

22、 reason when one person looks really good,others look bad by comparison.Those others then have an incentive in stopping that person from looking good,especially if they cant or wont compete.After all,were all judged in comparison with others.When faced with someone better,what can a normal person do

23、?One option is to actively compete.A second option is to bring that person down that is to suppress their cooperation or work ethic,and first selfish motives for their actions or imply real or imagined hypocrisy.Other tactics include attacking them on unrelated dimensions or punishing them outright.

24、Why does this matter?Critics often attack the motives of people who protect the environment,donate money or work too hard.Such good deeds are dismissed as naive or hypocritical by those who do not perform those deeds.This criticism may ultimately discourage people from doing good deeds.so its import

25、ant to recognize these attacks for what they are.Q12:What baffling phenomenon is discussed in the passage?Q13:How are we all judged according to the passage?Q14:What can a normal person do when faced with people who perform better?Q15:what may discourage people from performing good deeds?Lecture 1 雪

26、萱 In America,most researchers can see that boys and girls are brought up in different ways,taught different skills and rewarded for different acts.Women,it is agreed excel at certain tasks,men at others.There is little argument that some personality traits appear more dominant in one sex than in the

27、 other.All of this,not withstanding,gender differences are very much in the media these days.Since the rise of the womens movement,gender role behavior has come under closer scrutiny.How has this affected friendship?How do the sexes differ in their friendship relations?Most preteen children have a b

28、est friend who is usually some one of the same sex and similar age.Both sexes share an essentially positive recollection of these childhood friendships,they do not differ in this respect.However,the type of play engaged in during these early friendships is telling of the difference to come.Boys tend

29、 to form playgroups that are competitive in nature.Girls groups more frequently revolve around cooperative enterprises.Thus at an early age,boys become concerned with trying hard and winning,while girls by contrast play house and school,engaging in roles that require complimentary support.Speaking o

30、f their childhood,men recall being highly responsive to and aware of the gender role opinions of other boys.Girls in preteen years appear to be less susceptible to gender role pressure.It is not until the dating years that women report being concerned with feminine behavior.Males for the most part a

31、re responsive to the suggestion that their behavior is unmanly at almost any age.These early attitudes reinforced by social conditioning continue to play an active part in the friendships of both sexes during adolescence.This is a period when the majority of males,once again,report a close Alliance

32、with same sex friends.Now,however,with heightened intensity,considerable energy is devoted to competing for position and a definite undercurrent of competition permeates the relationship.Although in dissimilar fashion,females share equally fragile relationships at this age.For them,the bond of loyal

33、ty extends only to the line of romantic involvement.This is most apt to be the case in late adolescence when dating and relationships with boys take sharp precedence over sisterhood.Actually dating dilutes the intensity of same sex friendships for men also.For the majority of us,the moment we begin

34、to date seriously,theres a competition between romance and friendship.Q16:What does the speaker say about most preteen children?Q17:What do most males devote much of their energy to during adolescence?Q18:What do children do when they reach late adolescence?Lecture 2 Good afternoon.In todays lecture

35、,well be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for a job.On average,about 20%of the population has some form of disability.Most countries these days have equal opportunity and non-discrimination laws,yet disabled people often find it hard to decide when,how,and if at all

36、to raise their disability problem with a potential employer.There is uncertainty about how a recruiter will perceive their disability as such many candidates fear they wouldnt be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information.And research has validated this as a genuin

37、e concern for many job applicants.Its a natural reaction,but it shouldnt be a reason to stay quiet.People need to remember that they are applying for a position they have the skills and experience to.Discussing a disability with a potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustment

38、s in their favor.Its most appropriate to discuss a disability when they reply to confirm an interview,this information needed to be put up front in their cover letter or resume.because its probably not relevant to the position itself.Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to ma

39、ke their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice.If they find an organization that doesnt celebrate diversity and inclusion,it could say a lot about the companys culture,perhaps the organization isnt the right fit.Its important for them to.remember That they are seeking a m

40、anager,an employer thats going to be supportive and continue to give them a great employment experience.Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form,but people shouldnt feel restricted by this method or timing.People should avoid sharing the name

41、 of their disability or condition.There is always the risk that the recruiter will research inform that is inaccurate or irrelevant.If people dont think their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position,then its entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to

42、share this information.Q19:Why do disabled job applicants feel reluctant to disclose their disability information?Q20:When does the speaker suggest applicants reveal their disability information?Q21:What are people advised to do when filling out their job application form?Lecture 3 Smartphones Distr

43、act attention and reduce learning because of their potential to offer activities more inviting than study.But what about background sound alone?A group of American researchers compared students comprehension of verbal material when reading in the presence of background speech,instrumental music or g

44、eneral noise.General noise is neutral such as that from the sound of an air conditioner or fan.Student scores were most depressed in the presence of background speech.Comprehension was slightly better with the presence of music than with speech.However,when they were asked to identify melodies rathe

45、r than understand text background music interfered more.When the background speech was in a language unfamiliar to participants,there was little,if any hindrance of reading comprehension.British researchers compared the effects of background speech,vocal music,instrumental music,general background n

46、oise and silence on short term memory.Background speech had the biggest negative effect.Vocal music was slightly more disruptive than instrumental.In general background noise and silence were least disrupt.It seems the degree of interference from background noise depends on the overlap between the p

47、rocessing required on the task and the processing required to screen out the background noise.The studies suggest that when people read and when they try to remember any verbal material,background speech will inhibit their ability.Instrumental music will have at worst a slight effect.When students w

48、rite essays,however,other research has found it is best to reduce all background noise as much as possible.Not everyone reacts in the same way to distractions.Other studies suggest some aspects of personality may make a difference.The researchers subjected shy,quiet people and confident,outgoing one

49、s to high arousal or low arousal background music,general noise or silence while asking them to remember words.Everyone performed best in the silent condition,but less sociable people were more negatively affected by each of the distractions.So when children are reading and trying to incorporate new

50、 material,parents could consider allowing some background music,particularly if it is instrumental and their child is the outgoing type.Q22:What did some American researchers find about students reading comprehension in the presence of background noise?Q23:What do we learn from the British researche
