It was two years ago when I first came back after graduation. I was very excited to see my great teachers and principals. It was a huge party, where lots of smart teachers gave their marvelous performance. The variety and taste of the shows can be comparable to some large entertaining events in the music and art field. It was not only a birthday and success celebration, but it also gave us dreams and aspirations for a bright and more prosperous tomorrow.

We were all inspired. We were all having a wonderful time.

Some people think that they learn more from media like newspapers, TV or the Internet. Other people think that they learn more from their friends, family and teachers. What‘s your opinion?

I think I learn more from people rather than media.

I‘ll take my mother as an example. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step of the way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up. I‘m encouraged not only by her inspiring words but also by her action. By taking action, she has never been overwhelmed by pressure, adversity and even danger.

Also when I feel blue sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friends for cheering up and

comfort.While, media like TV or Internet can only equip me with knowledge and information, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction. So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.

Reading:【学校通知】：学校提供了一种新的计算机助理系统以代替过去的面对面的助理服务。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男女生都不同意。原因有三：

1）不是所有的学生都有钱买电脑。

2）没有面对面的方式直接。

3）有些学生不太会用电脑或不喜欢用电脑。

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the university is considering using a kind of new computer- assisted system instead of face-to-face service.

In the listening material, we clearly learn that neither the man or the woman likes the idea . One reason is that not all students could afford a computer. Another is that computer-assisted service is not

direct. And the third reason why they think the new service system won‘t work very well is that some students are unable or don‘t like to use the computer.

Therefore, they disagree with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】word framing.

Listening:【教授举例】举了2个例子:

1)当天气预报说cloudy的话，那么可能turn to thunder，也可能变sunny，人们却潜意识里面会认为天气最终变sunny；

2) 讲business language. 药品上经常会贴愈率90％治愈率10％虽然这2个表达的意思完全一样，但是人们却会偏向于购买贴着愈率90％药品，因为人们希望治愈，对治愈这个词敏感。

Sample answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a definition of word framing. It states that people‘s behavior is influenced not only by the contents of the words but also by the way in which how the words are phrased.

In the listening passage, the professor explains that by giving two examples. One is that if the weather forecast says there‘s 50% possibility of rain, many people may take an umbrella with them. But if the forecast‘s delivered as there is 50% possibility of sunshine, very few people will start to prepare for a

rainy day. Another example is that many advertisements are carefully worded to render the best outcome. If some new medicine claims that it works for 90% of patients, customers will find it much more attractive. If it claims there‘s 10% of inefficiency, people won‘t take it. That‘s how word framing produces significant effects on people‘s making a decision.

【学生困难】：他们本来要周末带一些小朋友去博物馆参观，但是男生的汽车坏了，不能带他们去，很着急。

【解决方案】：女生给他两个建议：

1）男生的朋友bob

买了新车，可以借他的车

2）可以等车修好后改天再去参观，但小朋友们可能会失望。

Sample answer:

but his car is broken. His classmate – the female student suggests he borrow his friend Bob‘s car ?cause he just bought a new one. She also suggests he take the children to the museum some other day until he gets his car fixed. I think the second idea serves his purpose because it would be better ?cause he

wouldn‘t bring trouble to his friend or worry about getting Bob‘s car dirty or something. It is true that the children may become disappointed about not being there as scheduled, but they would understand if he expained his situation.

So if I were him, I would also try the second option.

【讲课要点】：商家经常有两种strategy。

1. 一种是在新产品刚刚问世的时候，重点强调产品的品质（high quality），用来吸引顾客。比如手机刚刚问世的时候。

2. 一种是lower price，当一个产品已经上市很久，同时已经有其他品牌的竞争时，商家就会用lower price 继续吸引顾客，lower price特别能够吸引那些起初不需要买那个产品或者打算买其他品牌的顾客,比如打印机等。

Sample answer:

The lecture tells about two strategies that companies often use to promote their products. One strategy is to stress the high quality of the type of products when they come into existence to attract the customers. The other one is to lower the price of the product. For example, when cellphones first came, they use this strategy to sell their products. The other stategy is to lower the price. When a certain type of product has been on sale for a long period of time and meanwhile competing with other brands, the company would lower the price to increase its sales volume ?cause the lower price would attract those who don‘t want to buy that type of product or have the idea of buying other brands. Then the professor takes printers as an example to illustrate this strategy.

Describe a social or political event in your culture. 与2008. 2. 16 重复

A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans

of (表示―许多‖)people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are alloverwhelmed (震撼的) and thrilled (激动)by the wonderful scene at the time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic,

the guards are wearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such a solemn (庄严的)

Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why.

In my point of view, government should provide funds to build museums and theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.

The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and archaeology, of natural history and even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always something different to see.

Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of different regions. Even the world‘s best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries. They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.

That‘s why I think it‘s a good idea for government to help with the building of the museums and theaters.
