1. Choose a quality you think makes
someone a valuable member
f a team. Explain
why you think it is an important quality for
a
team or group member to have
I think a
valuable member of a team should be cooperative.
If a
member is cooperative, he or she will
take the goal of the team
as main goal not
that of his or her own as the main goal. So he
or she is willing to help other team members,
to talk with others,
to solve problems with
others. Once I attended a computer program
group. At that time we had four members and
only one day left before
we had to submit the
program. So we all decided to gather together
and stay overnight, writing the program,
sharing ideas,
discussing and solving
problems. That was the time I felt we were
like a team.
2. Some people prefer
to learn about current events from watching
television news programs. Others prefer to
read about current
events in newspaper or on
the Internet. Which do you think is
better:
watching the news or reading the news? Explain
why.
I prefer watching the news to
reading the new because watching
the news can provide me with more details
about what had happened.
Usually in the video,
I can see the scene, see the people and even
hear their words. It seems as if I am in the
scene. Besides,
watching the news can get more
objective information. Since the
news articles
in the newspaper should be edited or censored,
some
important information may be omitted.
However, videos news bring
me to the scene and
make me one of the witnesses. Even though,
some might say videos can be clipped, I
believe at the same
censoring level, video is
more objective than words.
3. The woman
expresses her opinion about the plan described in
the article. State her opinion and explain the
reasons she gives
for holding the
opinion.(题目并没有让我们总结阅读材料,所以阅
读内容可说可不说)
The girl doesn’t agree with the university on
the plan. Firstly,
she says that the teaching
buildings aren’t just used for classes.
They
are also used by her evening study group. The
group hold
meetings in the classrooms. Now
that it’s winter and cold, the
study group has
nowhere else to go. Secondly, she says the
university shouldn’t disrupt the students’
academic study. There
are many
other things the university should do. The
university
can replace the old drafty windows
that are poor isolated and
always let the cold
in classrooms. Also, the old buildings are
not
energy-efficient. So she thinks there are many
basic
improvements the university can do to
make difference in the
long-term and still
leave them somewhere to study.
4.
Using the example given by the professor,
explain how franchising works.
If
someone opens a store or restaurant, he or she
pays an
established company to use the
company’s name and sell the
company’s
products. This practice is called franchising. The
professor uses an example to illustrate this
practice. In the
example, he wants to open a
pizza restaurant. He wants to be
successful,
so he pays a big company that owns a chain of
pizza
restaurants called pizza town to use the
name, pizza town. Since
pizza town is already
popular, it will surely sell well. So the
new
restaurant will have better chance to succeed. But
in exchange,
the new restaurant should follow
the pizza town’s standard
practice, selling
pizzas like pizza town’s pizza, making store
look like pizza town, and
advertising like pizza town. So there
is not
much freedom. But the thing is they sell a lot of
pizza.
5. Briefly summarize
the woman’s problem, then sate
which solution
you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your
recommendation.
The woman’s
supervisor, Professor Green, is going to France
for
a semester, but she still needs a lot of
help for her project.
Professor Green’s
suggestion is that professor Baker can help
woman. But the woman doesn’t know professor
Baker at all and
professor Baker is
specialized in another area, so they are not
exactly the best matched. Another solution is
that the woman can
have Professor Green’s
advice long distance. Professor Green can
look
at the woman’s data through emails. But there will
be no
one supervising the woman’s experiment.
In my opinion, I would
recommend the woman to
take the first suggestion. Even if
professor
Baker’s expertise is not the woman’s study area,
as
a great biologist, professor Baker is still
able to advise the
woman and may give her new
perspectives.
6. Using
points and examples from the talk, describe
the two defense mechanisms mentioned by the
professor.
The professor says when
people experience difficult situations,
they
may feel helpless and have psychological pain. In
order to
psychologically protect themselves
they will unconsciously use
defense
mechanisms. For example a woman has a pet dog for
a long
time. But one day the dog runs away,
she looks everywhere and just
can’t find him.
She feels helpless and sad. The first defense
mechanism to deal with the pain is fantasy.
She will use
imagination to invent a happy
story in her mind. In the story a
nice family
found the dog and feeds him well and the dog is
playing,
running around, having fun so she
doesn’t have to feel sad. Another
mechanism is
sublimation. Sublimation turns negative emotions
into something useful, practical. The woman
may start a dog
training school to prevent
other people dogs from running away.
So by
using sublimation she redirects her negative
feeling into
a positive, constructive
activity.
