wearing, but if your friend is giving an important presentation and asks you how s/he looks, it would not be in anyone's highest good （有最大好处）to give your opinion.

There are also times when many of us have much difficulty speaking our truth especially to important others such as parents, siblings, close friends, and beloved ones. We are afraid the other person will be angry or hurt by our truth, even when we state it without judgment or blame.

Therefore, telling the truth is not always helpful. The important thing in telling the truth is to be honest with yourself about your own intent in telling your truth.

T3. Reading:

【学校通知】：关于关闭艺术展览馆的statement，对话：同学们并不同意，关闭展览馆的原因是empty，而empty是有原因的，比如只有艺术科系的才可以展览，其他科系在艺术方面很棒的学生都不可以，而且宣传力度也不够，校报上面都没有的。展览作品看的人也不多，只有一半不到

Listening: 【学生议论】：男生不同意。原因有二：

1）大学艺术系学生需要多点机会展示作品

2）学校communication做得不好，经常展览结束后才介绍作品。

In the reading material, the university is considering the closure of art gallery.

In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man doesn't like the idea.One reason he gives is that students from art department need to be given more opportunities to display their works of art.

Another reason is that the university doesn‘t have good communication. They often give an introduction of the works after the exhibition.

Therefore, he disagrees with that opinion.

T4. Reading: 【课文要点】心理学有一概念：人们对其他人有期待就会按照这种期待对待别人，其他人可以感受到并使其成真。

Listening:【教授举例】一个实验，一组随机挑选的学生被告知是老师精挑细选的优生。老师努力教学并且经常鼓励他们，于是学生的成绩在短期内得到提高。

In this set of materials, the reading passage explains a phenomenon --- self-fulfilling prophecy in psychology. It states that people firmly believe in an expectation, act on that belief and eventually make it true. In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk to illustrate how self-fulfilling prophecies could make a change to people‘s lives. He gives an example that a group of normal kids randomly selected from many different schools were sent to receive academic education in a training camp. The educators were told that these kids were all top students from all over the country and thus educated them as geniuses with praise and encouragement. Surprisingly, these kids had a higer IQ than normal kids five years later.

By these means, the professor proves that self-fulfilling prophecy could make a change to people‘s lives.

T5.【学生困难】：男生参加校team of emergency response ，需要大量训练来达到标准，因没有时间做literature reading

而烦恼。

【解决方案】：女生给他两个建议：

1）辞队后下一年再加入。

2）和队指挥谈一谈要求两学期来完成训练量以保证有足够时间来应付literature reading。

Sample answer:

The discussion is between two students. The male student is telling his female friend about his busy

schedule. He is torn between his training program in the team of emergency response and literature reading. He has to get 10 hours of training every day to meet the physical standard required in the team and thus have little time to read literature. His friend suggests he quit and rejoin the next year to have more time for the requirement. She also suggests he talk to the coach to give an extension.

I think the second idea serves his purpose because it would be better for both his choices.

And if I were him, I would also take the second solution. I would try to persuade the coach. I would explain to him about my situation so that he could understand.

T6. 【讲课要点】：讲述了供求和物价之间的关系。

1. 供大于求，物价下跌；

2. 供小于求，物价上涨。

不过也有一些例外，例如某时代的英国面包，那个时候物价都很高，所以相对面包比较便宜，所以面包价即使上涨，因为他们无法购买meat，只能够购买更多的面包来替代肉类。

The lecture is about the relationship between demands for certain products and their prices in the market. Generally the proportion relationship beween them is inverse, that is, when the price goes up, the demand

immediately drops down. The higher the price is, the less willingly the consumers pay for. Instead, some former consumers may shift to other alternative products. However, there are also exceptions to this rule. That is, when the price of certain products increases, the demands for them could also rise for a while. However, consumers could still buy the product for storage because it is relatively affordable compared to other kinds of products. Also they wouldn‘t take the risk of paying the soaring price later on.

T1. What new skill would you like to learn? Explain why this skill would be good for you to have. 蓝三角：P293例题

Sample answer 1: (a given answer in the book)

I would like to learn how to play the guitar. Now I can‘t play a musical instrument （背景介绍）,so this would be a new skill for me. It would be a good skill to have because I could（情态动词could用的好，表示未来的可能性。）take my guitar to parties and play music for my friends. Also, I could join a band and play songs with other musicians. Maybe I could make money that way, but the main reason is I enjoy music and want to understand it better.

Sample 2----my own version

A new skill that I would like to learn is （稍换了一种说法）to cook. China

enjoys a worldwide reputation as ―kingdom of cuisine‖. Chinese dishes are popular all over the world. And I , as a would-be overseas Chinese student, is expected to know how to cook food that shows the perfect combination of ―color, aroma and taste‖ -------the three essential factors in judging Chinese cooking（背景介绍）. It would be a good skill to have because I could ask my classmates and friends over to my house and cook for them. Also, I could do a television cooking show to publicize our food culture. Maybe I could make money that way, but the main reason is I enjoy cooking and want to share with people the pleasure derived from it.

T2.Some people plan every detail of their vacation in advance. Others prefer to leave most details flexible or open to chance. Which do you think is better and why? 蓝三角：P301 第4题

Sample answer :

答案配图：

I think advance planning is critical to a successful vacation, regardless of whether the trip is long or short.

To have a comfortable vacation, it’s necessary to check the climate for the time to plan to visit. And it is always a good idea to make advance hotel reservations when vacationing.

Planning the vacation in advance will also give us more time to prepare for it and to ensure that we have all of the needed. This could mean we will not have to miss out on activities because of not having the correct equipment. Especially when we decide to go camping for vacation, reservations in advance allow us to determine ahead of time whether or not the campground has a lake, hiking trails, electricity, etc. Besides, we get the idea of what to take.

Last but not least, advance vacation planning is likely to make our experience a more memorable one.

Reading: 【学校通知】：说学校要求学生一学期做10小时的志愿者。

Listening:【学生议论】：女生不同意。原因有二：

1）硬性规定会让学生反感。

2）做义工的地方太远并不方便，学生大多没有私车，难以到远处服务 ,

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the university is considering about the students‘ 10-hour volunteer work one semester. In the listening material, we clearly learn that the woman doesn't like the idea. One reason she gives is that students won‘t be happy about the compulsory requirement.

Another reason is that the place where volunteers are needed to work is too far. She also thinks it‘s a lot of trouble ?cause most of students don‘t own a car and it‘s hard to get there.

Therefore, she disagrees with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】如果一个生态环境中有多个种群的话，那么消失一个种群不会破坏整个生态系统. Listening:【教授举例】一种珊瑚礁(coral reef)的故事。某地被污染，一种鱼死了，这种鱼是吃水藻的，而这种水藻

对珊瑚不好。但是珊瑚没死，为什么，因为这地方生物多样性，其他生物取代了那种鱼来吃水藻。

Sample answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage tells us that the disappearance of one species group won‘t destroy the whole ecosystem if there are different kinds of species groups in an ecological environment.

In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on coral reef. He explains by giving an example that a kind of fish was dead in a polluted area ?cause they ate algae which is bad for coral reef. He goes on to further explain that the coral reef didn‘t die because of the biodiversity.

By these means, he proves that it‘s because of the biodiversity that other species

instead of that kind of fish eat algae.
