Conversation 1
M: Welcome to Money Matters - a weekly program that helps you manage your money.
Tonight, I'll be talking to Mary Johnson about budgeting.
W: Hello, everyone.
M: There's a magic about money, when it's not planned for, tracked and kept the record
of, it literally disappears.
What are some of the steps we can take to prevent this from happening?
W: Well, it's all about keeping track of your money.
If you don't do that, you'll never be able to set any goals for your budget or have
the discipline to stick to them.
M: That's easier said than done. I read recently that only 41% of Americans adhere
to a budget.
W: Yes, but knowing what you earn and what you spend can give you reassurance that
you won't get into debt in the first place. You can do this by adding up all of your
sources of income you have, and writing them all down on a piece of paper. On the
same page, write down all of your monthly expenses.
M: I'm always amazed at how much my expenses add up.But designating each item as
an income or an expense really helps me have a much better sense of all my spending.
W: Right. Most people have no idea how much they spend each day, let alone each week
or month, no matter how careful they are. Next, subtract your monthly expenses from
income. If the result is positive, you are living within your means. If the result
is a negative number, you're going to have to cut back on your spending.
M: I'm usually a negative number. I just can't resist the allure of all those
prestigious goods.
W: Well, it's not a catastrophe, but you do have to make some changes. Try cutting
back on those non-essential items, sell some stuff in your attic or shop online to
avoid unnecessary temptations like chocolate. Failing that you can always find
yourself a part-time job.

M: Hi there. I've come to see the flat. My name is Mark Adams. We spoke on the phone
on Wednesday.
W: Hi Mark. Come on up. I'll buzz you in green door, on the second floor on the right
side. Nice to meet you. I spoke to all your references and they all checked out Okay.
So let me show you around the place actually belongs to my mother, but her health
isn't great. So we finally managed to persuade her to move in with us and rent this
old place out.
M:It's a great size, plenty of space, very versatile. I think it's a winner for
us.
W: Yes. All the appliances are brand new. There's a washing machine and a tumble
dryer in the utility room next to the kitchen.
M: Lots of closet space two, which is fabulous. My wife has a ridiculous number of
shoes. Now, the big question What about noise and the neighbors?
W: Well, all the neighbors are elderly, so no noisy kids and the back of the house
overlooks a clear and peaceful pond. So it's perfect. If tranquility is what you
are looking for.
M: That's good news. We've been living in a less than glamorous part of Aberdeen,
constantly harassed day and night by noisy neighbors. Getting to work was a nightmare
too. As we only have one car. And my wife has to use it as she works nights at the
hospital.
W: Well, if you like the place it's yours. As soon as I get a contract drawn up with
the solicitor, the first month's rent and a deposit are mandatory on signing the
contract, then we can work out when is the best day for you to pay rent each month?
M: We'll be incredibly happy to be your new tenants. Thank you so much. My wife will
be thrilled to get out of the shabby place we are now in and start filling those
wardrobes with all those shoes.

Q7: What does the man have to do on signing the contract?
Q8: Why does the man say his wife will feel very excited if they move into the flat?
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 they're exposed to advertising .The more advertising they see, the more
likely they are to insist on purchasing items when 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. What's the solution ? Perhaps
the most obvious is curtailing screen time.
Commercial content is there for a reason :to elicit purchasing 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.They shouldn't 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 protective 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 children don't have
the cognitive ability to fully understand advertising's 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 particularly vulnerable to TV commercials?
Passage 2
Everyone is supposed to cheer for good guys. And we should only punish the bad guys,
but that's 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 aren't good team players, but
sometimes the good guys also get punished or criticized specifically because they
are so good. This seems baffling because it's 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 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 can't or
won't compete. After all, we're all judged in comparison with others. When faced
with someone better, what can a normal person do? 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. 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 it's important
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 other.
All of this, not withstanding, gender differences are very much in the media these
days. Since the rise of the women's 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 best 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 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 of 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 are 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 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 loyalty 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 to date
seriously, there's 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 today's lecture, we'll 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 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 wouldn't be considered for a position as a result of disclosing
this personal information. And research has validated this as a genuine concern for
many job applicants. It’s a natural reaction, but it shouldn't 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 adjustments in their favor. It's most appropriate to discuss a disability
