11. M: Congratulations! I just heard about your acceptance into law school. Do
you think you will join your brother's firm after graduation?
W: Not likely. He is a tax lawyer and I'm going to major in criminal law.
Q: What does the woman mean?
12. M: Jenny, remember this: A job worth doing at all is worth doing well.
W: Oh, yes. I certainly won't forget it. But don't expect me to stick to the job just because it pays a few more bucks. A life of continued exploration is
a life worth living!
Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation？
13. M: I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs. How could I help him,
Mom?
W: Stay away from him, son. Never think that you can talk him out of the habit if he is addicted. But perhaps you can talk to your teacher about the matter.
Q: What's the woman's advice to her son?
14. W: I don't know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight, son.
Y our father's got the same luck. I can't take a bite without calculating how many calories I'm taking.
M: But remember Aunt Louise, Mum? She ate a lot and never gained a pound.
Q: Who is worried about gaining weight?
15. W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?

16. M: Hurry up, Linda. I hear that there aren't many tickets left for the football
match.

Q: Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up?
17. M: What do you think of the government's new tax-cut proposal?
W: Though it may give some benefit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer.
Q: What does the woman think of the government's tax-cut proposal?
18. M: Excuse me, but could you tell me how to get to the Friendship Hotel? I
thought it was on this corner, but I seem to have made a mistake.

M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Y es, yesterday afternoon.
M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.
W: Y es, it went into the Standard and the Evening News.
M: That's good. Erm, well...
W: W hat kind of person have you got in mind for this job?
M: Oh, well, somebody fairly young, you know, twenty something, like 21, or
25. A man, I think.
W: A man?
M: We really need a man for the position. Yes, I mean, it's really too demanding. The sort of situations they get into are much too difficult for a young woman to handle with, erm...
W: E rm, what sort of a young man have you got in mind?
M: Oh, you know, a good education, polite, responsible, and easy to get along with. What I don't want is one of those young men just out of university, with exaggerated ideas of his own importance.
W: Y es, erm, what sort of education are you looking for?
M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.
W: Y es, I think you're asking quite a lot. I mean you're not really prepared to pay all...
M: No, I'm not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, I want someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. Y ou know, not looking at the clock all the time.
W: W ell sir, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have some very
successful interviews.
M : Well, yes?
W: B ecause personally I think you're asking an awful lot.

21. What does Brenda think of the qualifications Mr. Browning insists on? Conversation Two
W: W e now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan...
M: This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the suburbs of the capital city. Just
20 minutes ago, rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the
ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in this country.
W: Now Stan, is this a sign that the peace process has been totally abandoned?
M: Well, so far, peace negotiations have failed, and any resolution to end the civil war appears bleak at this moment. As you can see... Whoa.
W: S tan, Stan, are you there?
M: Uh, yes, Shelly. As you can probably hear behind me, rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, and it's feared that they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
W: N ow, besides the heavy fighting, what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country. It is believed that over 40,000 people, mostly children, have starved to death. Fortunately, no epidemics have broken out, but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
W: O kay, that was Stan Fielding reporting. And we will keep you up-to-date as this story continues to unfold.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you w ill hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you w ill hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answ er from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. Emergency services, the fire department, the police, hospitals and ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and underground stations, people read notices and maps, which told them where to go and what to do in the emergency. This was Exercise Floodcall to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn't flooded yet. But it is possible that it could be.
In 1236 and 1663 London was badly flooded. In 1928 people living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned in floods. And in 1953, a hundred people living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed – again, in the floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. Though a flood wall was built in the 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, fifty underground stations will be underwater. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Imagine – London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice.
But this Exercise Floodcall didn't cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, "It's a flood warning, isn't it? The water doesn't look high to me.‖
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What happened in London a few months ago?
27. What measure was taken against floods in London in the 1980s?
28. What can we learn from the lady's comment?
Passage Two
America's national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct 20 years ago. But it has made a comeback. In fact, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the endangered-species list.
Once, more than 50,000 pairs of bald eagles nested across the country. But by 1960, that number had fallen below 400.
The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish soaked up DDT, died, and were washed up on shores, where bald eagles feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched.
Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald eagle from total wipeout. And since then, wildlife biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that last year U. S. birdwatchers counted 11, 610 bald eagles in the country.
If it were dropped from the endangered list, the bald eagle would still be a " threatened species.‖That means the bird would continue to get the same protection - no hunting allowed, and no disturbing of nests.
But bald eagles still face tough times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT causing eagle numbers to drop quickly. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What was the main harmful effect of the pest killer DDT on bald eagles?
30. What measure did the wildlife biologists take to increase the number of bald eagles?
31. According to the speaker, what is the possible danger facing bald eagles? Passage Three
Why do we cry? Can you imagine life without tears?
Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they can't infect your eyes. Give up your tears and you lose this on-the-spot defence.
Nor would you want to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. T ears are very good at washing this irritating stuff out.
Another thing you couldn't do without your tears is cry - from joy, anger, or sadness.
Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions. And most people say a good cry makes them feel better.
Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. T ear researcher William Frey is trying to figure out how it happens.
One possibility, he says, is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. "When people talk about 'crying it out,' I think that might actually be what they are doing," he says.
If Frey is right, what do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? Boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach their teenage years. And we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies.
Could it possibly be that we face less stress? Maybe we've found other
ways to deal with it. Or maybe we just feel embarrassed.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What's the topic discussed in this passage?
33. What is William Frey trying to find out?
34. What does the passage say about teenage boys and girls?
35. What's the difference between human beings and other animals when
shedding tears?
Section C
Directions:In this section, you w ill hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your ow n words. Finally, w hen the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
He was a funny-looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as "the best and most just and wisest man.‖ Y et this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs by a jury composed of the leading figures of the time in Athens.
The man was the Greek philosopher Socrates, and he was put to death for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates‘ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Y et for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservatives in Athens. They wanted him silenced. Yet many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a less severe penalty, and he probably could have persuaded the jury to change the verdict. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.

M: It can be serious with babies. Has your son been immunized against whooping cough?
W: I'm not sure. He did get all of the suggested vaccinations. I will look it up in our records.

Job-seeking skills research clearly proves that employers focus on four areas during an interview: 1) attitude, which counts approximately 40 percent;
2) appearance, 25 percent; 3) communication skills (verbal and nonverbal), 25 percent; and 4) job skill qualifications, 10 percent. Does this surprise you? When you analyze it, it shouldn't.
Remember, you are screened into the interview on the basis of your resume, cover letter, and application for employment, which outline your education, work experience, and qualifications for the job. The interview, which usually lasts from 20 to 40 minutes, does not provide adequate time for employers to evaluate this kind of background information. Employers request this data beforehand so that they may have the time necessary to read and review your background as it relates to the job, and to compare it with information submitted by other applicants.
The employer's purpose for giving you an interview is to get to know you as a person. This is why your attitude is the most important determinant of your success in the interview. Likewise, your appearance is the very first thing the interviewer will evaluate — and first impressions do make lasting impressions. Of course, job skill qualifications also count during the interview, and it is your responsibility to make certain your qualifications for the job are clearly covered during the interview.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the most important element that will determine your success in the interview?
27. What is the employer's purpose for giving you an interview?
28. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
Passage Two
Social Security is one of the great moral achievements of American government. For almost 70 years, it has kept millions of elderly citizens out of poverty and assured young Americans of a secure future. The Social Security system is essential, yet it faces a long-term problem.
While benefits for today's seniors are secure, the system is headed towards bankruptcy down the road. Each year there are more retirees taking money out of the system, and not enough additional workers to support them.
In the 1950s, there were about 16 workers paying for every Social Security beneficiary. T oday, there are about three. And eventually, there will
only be two workers per beneficiary. These changes signal a looming danger. In the year 2018, for the first time ever, Social Security will pay out more in benefits than the government collects in payroll taxes. And the gaps will grow larger each year leading to the bankruptcy of the system.
Therefore, Social Security is not a personal savings plan. Benefits paid to today's retirees come directly from the taxes paid by today's workers. The crisis in Social Security can be avoided by emphasizing several principles. First, nothing will change for those who are receiving Social Security and for those who are near retirement. Secondly, payroll taxes will not increase, because higher taxes would slow economic growth. More efforts must be made to use the power of compound interest, by giving younger workers the option to save some of their payroll taxes in a personal account, which government cannot take away.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. When was the Social Security system established in America?
30. Why is the Social Security facing a looming danger?
31. What can be done to avoid the crisis in Social Security?
Passage Three
T oday, I would like to begin by discussing early European settlement along one of our well-known rivers, the Hudson, which empties into the Atlantic to form New Y ork bay. The Hudson river has a couple of interesting physical features that made it very attractive for settlement by the Europeans. The first is that river extends inland from the Atlantic Ocean for more than 150 miles with no waterfalls or rapids. Its surface is virtually flat for that entire distance, with no obstacles. Second, the whole 150-mile stretch is influenced by tides from the Atlantic Ocean. Roughly every six hours, the river reverses direction, flowing north when the tide is rising and south toward the ocean when the tide is going down. Obviously there were no obstacles to prevent settlers from moving further upstream on the Hudson river and this explains why the Dutch penetrated so far inland. They were the first Europeans to settle in the Hudson valley. Of course, to go upstream, the Dutch settlers needed the right kind of boat, and so to navigate the river, they design a sloop with only one mast but two sails, one rigged in front of the mast and one behind. The mast was very tall, in many cases over 100 feet tall, so that the large sails could catch winds blowing above the shore line hills. Hudson river sloops carried passengers and cargo. The cargo ranging from coal, lumber and hay to fruit, vegetables and livestock. Traveling only ten miles an hour in a good wind, the sloop was not too speedy by modern standards, but it was ideally suited to the Dutch settlement, and in fact when the steam boat eventually was introduced, it couldn't keep up with the sloop.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What attracted the Europeans to the Hudson river area?
33. What is the characteristic of the first 150 miles inland on the Hudson river?
34. How do tides from the Atlantic Ocean influence the Hudson river?
35. According to the speaker, why did Hudson river sloops have tall masts? Section C

Finally, w hen the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
T oday I would like to talk about the early days of movie making in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Before the pioneering films of D. W. Griffith, film makers were limited by several misguided questions of the era. According to one, the camera was always fixed at a viewpoint corresponding to that of the spectator in the theatre, a position now known as the long shot. It was another convention that the position of the camera never changed in the middle of a scene. In last week's films, we saw how Griffith ignored both these limiting conventions and brought the camera closer to the actor.
This shot, now known as a full shot, was considered revolutionary at the time. For Love of Gold, was the name of the film in which the first use of the full shot. After progressing from a long shot to the full shot, the next logical step for Griffith was to bring in the camera still closer, in what is now called the close-up. The close-up had been used before though only rarely and merely as a visual stunt, as for example, in Edqaed Asport's The Great Train Robbery, which was made in 1903.
But not until 1908 in Griffith's movie called After Many Years was the dramatic potential of the close-up exploited. In the scene from After Many Years that we are about to see, pay special attention to the close-up of Annie Lee's worried face as she awaits her husband's return. In 1908, this close-up shocked everyone in the Biogress Studio. But Griffith had no time for argument. He had another surprise even more radical to offer. Immediately following close-up of Annie, he inserted a picture of the object of her thought--her husband cast sway on a desert aisle. This cutting from one scene to another without finishing either of them brought a torrent of criticism on the experiments.

M: So you went scuba diving. What were you looking for? Sunken treasure? W: Y ou might say so. The sea's full of treasures. All kinds of strange fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.
M: I found plankton were too small to be seen.
W: T hat's a common misconception. The term plankton covers a wild variety of freely flowing plants and animals, from microscopic one cell organisms to larger ones, such as the common jellyfish.
M: Jellyfish may be large enough to be seen. But they are transparent, aren't they?
W: Y es, most planktons have transparent tissues as protected camouflage, it makes them practically invisible to predators.
M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.
W: B y concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plankton plants and animals. In fact, our professor even took photographs of gastropods, which are small oceanic snails.
M: How would the snails show up in the photographs of their transparence? W: W e scoured it with harmless green dye since particles of the dyes stuck to their tissues, the snails appeared in green outline in the photographs.
M: That sounds like an interesting trip. But I think if I'd been in Florida in February, I'd much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you w ill hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you w ill hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answ er from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
An unusual form of legal system prevailed in Eskimo societies in the harsh Arctic regions. Eskimo societies were organized into local groups that lacked any real form of government, although they had a headman who led the group. The headman had no legal or judicial authority, and there were very few laws in these cultures. The Eskimos also recognized few crimes against property because people did not own land. The custom of freely borrowing goods from each other also discouraged stealing.
In the past, certain Eskimo cultures permitted some forms of homicide, including the killing of sickly infants, senile or sickly elderly persons, and invalids. These actions were approved so that the society's resources could be used to support the healthy. Access to modern transportation and medicine has greatly changed this situation.
In the Eskimos' cultures, wife stealing was not a crime, and it was usually committed by a man who sought to outrank socially the man whose wife was stolen. Legal disputes, such as wife stealing, were settled by the murder of the offender (and the risk of a possible feud with the offender's relatives) or by a song contest during which each party insulted the other. The winner is determined by whoever received the most applause.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why was the killing of the sick not considered criminal in Eskimo societies?
27. What kind of man usually committed wife stealing?
28. What does the unusual way that legal disputes were settled reflect?
Passage Two
Sydney recorded history began with the arrival of the First Fleet and its English criminals and soldiers on January 26, 1788. Transportation of criminals to Sydney did not stop until 1840 and shortly afterwards, in 1842, Sydney was declared a city. The population grew rapidly during this period, helped by the discovery of gold and the gold rush of 1850.
Sydney suffered little during WWII. After the war, European immigrants
flooded into the city, and Sydney spread rapidly westwards. It also picked up one of its most famous landmarks in 1957. The architect J?rn Utzon won a competition to design the Sydney Opera House. In 1966, before the completion of the Opera House, Utzon resigned in frustration. Another architectural team took over, and the Opera House was opened in 1973.
During the Vietnam war, Sydney became a major resting stopover for US soldiers and an entertainment area developed by King's Cross maintains to this day. The Bicentennial celebrations in 1988 and the massive Darling Harbour redevelopment project boosted the city's development, and today the economy is doing well.
After winning the bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games, Sydney put vast amounts of money into city construction and this is evident when walking through the city today. Nowadays Sydney has people from over one hundred countries. It has a population of nearly 4 million. The city provides excellent places to satisfy any visitor‘s needs.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. When was Sydney declared a city?
30. Why did Sydney expand rapidly after WWII?
31. How long did it take to design and build the Sydney Opera House? Passage Three
Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over.
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.
A man‘s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our minds.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What can some people do if they have very good memory according to the passage?
33. Why is it difficult for the pupils to learn a second language in school?
34. What is the man‘s mind like according to the passage?
35. What is a great help learning a language?
Section C
Directions:In this section, you w ill hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your ow n words. Finally, w hen the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Smoking means something different to various cultures. In France, many people smoke. In the winter, it is often difficult to breathe in the cafes because of the tobacco smoke in the air. In Romania, smoking is an acceptable social habit. Women, however, do not smoke on the street. The brand of cigarette a person smokes shows his/her wealth, especially if it is a foreign brand.
In Latin American cultures, smoking is very common. Some men think that smoking makes them look more manly. As in other cultures, smoking is a way to socialize and belong.
In parts of Asia, tobacco is used in wedding ceremonies and in religious offerings. It is also used in many kinds of occasions. In Cambodia, the bride lights her husband‘s cigarette to show her devotion to hi m. In Vietnam, people are often smoking at business meetings and in coffee houses. Most of the women in Cambodia and Vietnam tend not to smoke. But when they enter a friend‘s home, they may be given a tobacco leaf to chew on. During the war, Vietnamese soldiers would smoke to pass the time while waiting to go into battle. Cambodian men smoked when they took a break from working in the fields, to ease their hunger and to keep mosquitoes away.
Smoking was a comforting thing to do. In both Vietnam and Cambodia, people who were not smokers before the war, started to smoke during the war and became addicted.

Unit 1 Luis: Well, I guess the biggest change in my life over the last five years is that I got married. I used to be single, and now I’m not! I used to enjoy going out with friends every weekend- you know I was a lot more sociable. Now a more of own body, I liked to stay at home, watch TV- that kind of thing. It’s not so bad. I guess you could say that I grew up- I was tired of going out all the time and ready to settle down and start a family. Celine: For me the change has been with my work. I used to work in a large company. I worked in their corporate headquarters downtown in the accounting department. It was a great job- good money, decent benefits. When I first started at that company, I was very young and very ambitions. But after a while, I got tired of it. I was so unhappy there, and the commute was killing me! But one evening two years ago, I attended a seminar on working for yourself-you know, being self-employed and starting your own company. So I quit my job and gave it a try. It was scary at first, but after a little while I could see it was going to work out just fine for me. I couldn’t be happier. Diana: Gosh, five years ago I was a completely different person. You wouldn’t have recognized me if you’d seen me then! I talk a lot now, but I was more reserved then. And I hardly exercised at all. I never played any sports and rarely spent time outside. I was in terrible shape and worried about my health. But all that changed when I met my friend Judy. See, she convinced me to start slowly, you know, by walking every morning before work and swimming twice a week. Well, now I spend most of my free time outside- hiking, swimming when the weather’s good, playing tennis or racquetball- those kinds of things. I’m in pretty good shape now and feeling wonderful. Luis: Well, my wife is always saying that I’m not very good with money, not practical at all. She’s always teasing me about spending habits, but she’s right. When I see something I want, I just go and buy it, even if it is something I don’t really need. I guess I waste a lot of our money. We’re expecting our first child in December, and now that there’s going to be three of us, well , I think I do need to be more careful. Celine: working at home has been a real struggle. It’s been a lot harder th an I imagined. I need to be more organized, that’s for sure. So, I ’ve decide to hire at a part-time secretary- you know, someone who can come in couple of times a week and help out with me phones, the filing, and just clean up in general. I’m so busy that sometimes I kind of let things get out of hand- the office gets really messy! I sure could use some help. Diana: Well, I started mountain climbing a year and a half ago, and I just love it. Well, the next step for me is to concentrate on that sport and se e where I can go with it. I’d love to someday- say, five or ten years from now- go mountain climbing in the Himalayas. They have some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world. That would be a real adventure! But before I do anything like that, I have to practice, practice, practice! And I have to get stronger –mentally as well as physically. Paul: So, Andrea, you going home for the holidays? Andrea: I sure am. I’ve booked a fight for tomorrow afternoon and I can’t wait!

中级口译听力教程第三版2A An intermediate course of English listening. Third edition. Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors. 2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk. W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked. 2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below. The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families. Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear. 1. Since you said you totally agreed with Tom’s views, you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon.
