听力考试听力光盘原文

Unit 1
1. What factor may weaken one’s memory?
It is often reported that long-term poor nutrition may affect the functioning of the brain, thus damaging both the long-term and short-term memory. Also harmful to one’s memory is back of water. Elderly people need plenty of water to guarantee their memory works. A third factor is lack of sleep. Without enough sleep, one may feel tired and have difficulty concentrating, not to mention learning things by heart.

2. Can you describe some possible advantages of having a poor memory?
A poor memory may have some advantages. With the passage of time, the sad memories will fade. Those with a short memory tend to recover faster than those with a tenacious memory. For the same reason, forgetful people may be more ready to forget their daily worries and forgive others for their offenses. With a less retentive mind, they may enjoy life more.

Unit2
1. What subject do you like best? What made you like it: your personal interests, the teacher, the practical applications of the course in future, etc.?
I like physics best, though many classmates find it hard. A lot of factors led me to like subject. As early as in high school, I was amazed at the laws scientists like Newton and Einstein discovered. What they found out changed the world.
Luckily, my physics teacher at this university is excellent. He is knowledgeable and patient. Just because of him, I’m willing to spend lots of my spare time on this subject.
Most importantly, what I have learned from the physics course will be of great help in landing a good job. Nowadays many companies think physics majors often have a solid academic foundation and can easily adapt themselves to a wide variety of positions.

2. Do you think it is necessary for some Chinese children to do a lot of difficult math problems for the Olympic Math Competition?
Some parents believe that by doing a lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. Some parents even believe that trying to solve hard math problems will promote the growth of children’s brains and help develop their logical reasoning ability and concentration, which will facilitate learning in other areas.
On the other hand, many people believe that it is unnecessary and unnatural for children to study difficult math problems. Some people even believe that strict math training harms children’s moral and physical development. Fierce competition may dampen the spirit of teamwork, which is so important in the contemporary world.

Unit3
1. What do you think are the things that contribute to a successful marriage?
The success of a marriage is due to many factors, of which love is obviously the most important one. Other factors, which are not entirely unrelated to love, include shared values and interests, mutual understanding, commitment, effective communication similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc. With the same values and moral standards, friends may develop into lifelong partners. After marriage, there needs to be a commitment to one another, and to the well-being and development of the family. Similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. They believe that only with mutual appreciation and understanding, can the couple get along easily and happily.

2. Why do people get divorced? Can you guess some of the reasons?
Sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love was blind at that time. After marriage, they see each other’s shortcomings more clearly. When disappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable. Sometimes it is because one of the couple has changed after the marriage. For example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardly any time left to be with his wife. Sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. Due to the continual quarrelling at home, the family breaks up.

Unit4
1. What do you think people will choose: a low-paid job one likes, or a boring well-paid job?
I thing many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness.
On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart to earn more money. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job. Money is the top priority.

2. Do you think one’s character is important in finding a job? Why or why not?
I think it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates’ educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates’ character is equally important for a successful career.
In contemporary society, many projects are so large that they require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person’s effort. Therefore, a good team player is often welcomed Professionally skilled people may not be able to accomplish a large project it they are easily angered and cannot get along with their colleagues.
If you want to assume a leading position, you should be firm on important issues while allowing your subordinates plenty of freedom.
In fact, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to text candidates’ EQ (emotional quotient) before they decide to hire them.
Unit5
1. Do you want to be a boss who is starting a company or an employee with a high salary?
Different people may have different choices. Some people may put a regular job above good pay for a variety of reasons. Employees usually know what they are supposed to do and have a fairly stable life. With a high-paying job, they and their families can live a comfortable life. When they have accumulated enough money, they can start a business when conditions are favorable. On the other hand, many people want to set up a business of their own right now. Indeed, launching a company involves a lot of effort. What is worse, there is risk. But they like challenges. By trying to establish a company, not only may they make lots of money, they can also develop their abilities to overcome difficulties.

2. What kind of boss would you like to work for: one who is inefficient but kind, or one who is efficient but very strict with employees?
Many people, if not most, prefer to work for a kind, good-natured boss. Under such a boss, they feel secure and happy. The boss won’t scold employees simply because they have made a small mistake. He will also be generous. It is true that sometimes because of his lack of ability, his company may not reap huge profits, and employees can hardly get a raise. But happiness is surely more important than money.
However, some people, including me, will choose to work for a boss who is capable but very strict with his subordinates. If the boss is capable, he will lead the company to one new height after another. When the company thrives, all employees will benefit. Even if the boss may give an employee a severe dressing-down for something he or she did, the employee can learn a lesson from the event. Under such a boss, employees can gain valuable experience, which may serve as a good foundation for them to start a business of their own in the future.
