Let ’s start by talking about his early life. Napoleon was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica. When he was only 10 years old, his father sent him to military school in France. Napoleon was not a very good student in most of his classes, but he excelled in mathematics and military science. When he was 16 years old,he joined the French army. In that year 1785,he began the military career that would bring him fame ,power,riches and finally defeat. Napoleon became a general in the French army at the young age of 24. Napoleon had many victories on the battlefield but he also became involved in French law and politics. And in 1804, at the age of 35,he became the first emperor of the France.Napoleon was many things. He was, first of all, a brilliant military leader. His soldiers were ready to die for him. As a result, N.won many military victories. At one time he controlled most of Europe, but some countries, including England, Russia, and Austria fought fiercely against him. His defeat —“his end”came when he decided to attack Russia. In this military campaign against Russia, he lost most of his army.The great French conqueror died alone –deserted by his family and friends in 1821. Napoleon was only 51 years old when he died.The lecture for this class is about the city of Pompeii. A natural disaster occurred there almost 2000 years ago.Today many rich people who live in large metropolitan areas such as Beijing, Paris and New York leave the city in the summer. They go to the mountains or to the seashore to escape the city noise and heat.2,000 years ago, wealthy Romans did the same thing.They left the city of Rome in the summer. Many of these wealthy Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii, a beautiful city, located on the Bay of Naples.In the summer of the year 79 C.E., a young Roman boy who later became a very famous Roman historian was visiting his uncle in P.. The boy’s name was Pliny the Younger. One day Pliny was looking up at the sky. He saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud. This black cloud rose high into the sky. What Pliny saw was the eruption of the volcano called Mount Vesuvius.Rock and ash flew through the air. The city of P . was at the foot of Mt. V.. When the volcano first erupted, many people were able to get out of the city and to escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000 people died. These unlucky people were buried alive under the volcanic ash.The eruption lasted for about 3 days. When the eruption was over, P . was buried under 20 feet of volcanic rock and ash. The city of P . was forgotten for almost 1,700 years.In the year of 1748 an Italian farmer was digging on his farm. As he wasdigging, he uncovered a part of a wall of the ancient city of P.. Soon archaeologists began to dig in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient city of P. was uncovered. Today tourists come from all over the world to see the ruins of the famous city of Pompeii.Lesson 3 Audio TrackThe funniest story of m}'r traveling experience was w hen I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood xvhat I meant and they helped me out.My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel b} helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even 2 2S traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where xve were going to go. We didn't really know the xillage names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall xvas, there was this passenger xvho had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head,who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh.Lesson 4 Roller CoasterLet's talk about the physics involved in a ride on a roller coaster. I'm sure many of you have taken a ride on a roller coaster. A simple roller coaster consists of a frame with a track on it. The track is very much like a train track, this track goes over a series of hills and around curves. It follows a path that ends at the same place it started. A train of cars travels around on this track, very fast. The cars have two sets of wheels. One set of wheels rolls on top of the track, and the others set of wheels rolls below the track. The wheels below the track keep the fast moving cars from coming off the track, roller coaster cars as you probably know don't have any motors or engines. Instead, a chain pulls the cars up the first, tallest and steepy staff hill, this is how the ride begins. Then, at the top of the hill the chain comes off the cars and gravity takes over. gravity pushes the cars down the other side of the hill. the taller and steeper the first hill is, the faster the ride will be. And the farther the cars will travel. as the cars rolled downhill they gained speed. the cars have enough speed and energy to send them up the next hill. as the cars near the top of the second hill they begin to slow down. but then, the cars reached the top of that hill, and start down the other side. gravity again pushes them toward the ground. this process repeats on each hale. Okay, so let's go over this process again. first, the cars are pulled by a chain up the first highest hill. then they go down a very steepslope, at this point, there is enough energy to pull the cars up and over the next hill. when they reached the bottom of that hill, there is enough energy to climb the next hill, the roller coaster cars lose energy as the ride continues. so, the hills have to be smaller toward the end of the track, finally we roll to a stop on ground level right where we began.Lesson 5 Language: How Children Acquire TheirsWhat I’d lie to talk to you about today is the topic of child language development. I know that you all are trying to develop a second language, but for a moment, let’s think about a related topic, and that is: How children develop their first language.What do we know about how babies develop their language and communication ability? Well, we know babies are able to communicate as soon as they are born,even before they learn to speak their first language. At first, they communicate by crying. This crying lets their parents know when they are hungry, or unhappy, or uncomfortable. However, they soon begin the process of acquiring their language. The first state of language acquisition begins just a few weeks after birth. At this stage, babies start to make cooing noises when they are happy. Then, around four months of age they begin to babble. Babies all over the world begin to babble around the same age, and they all begin to make the same kinds of babbling noises. Now, by the time they are ten months old, however, the babbling of babies from different language backgrounds sounds different. For example, the babbling of a baby in a Chinese-speaking home sounds different from the babblingof a baby in an English-speaking home. Babies begin a new stage of language development when they begin to speak their first words. At first, they invent their own words for things. For example, a baby in an English-speaking home maysay ―baba for the word ―bottle or ―kiki for ―cat. In the next few months, babies will acquire a lot of words. These words are usually the names of things that are in the baby’s environment, words for food or toys, for example. They will begin to use these words to communicate with others. For example, if a baby holds up an empty juice bottle and then says ―juice, to his father, the baby seems to be saying, ―I want more juice, Daddy or ―May I have more juice, Daddy? This word ―juice is really a one-word sentence.Now, the next stage of language acquisition begins around the age of 18 months, when the babies begin to say two-word sentences. They begin to use a kind of grammar to put these words together. The speech they produce iscalled ―telegraphic speech because the babies omit all but the most essential words. An English-speaking child might say something like ―Daddy, up which actually could mean ―Daddy, pick me up, please. Then, between two and three years of age, young children begin to learn more and more grammar. For example, they begin to use the past tense of verbs. The children begin to say things suchas ―I walked home and ―I kissed Mommy. They also begin to overgeneralize this new grammar rule and make a log of grammar mistakes. For example, children often say such thins as ―I goed to bed instead of ―I went to bed, or ―I eated ice cream instead of ―I ate ice cream. In other words, the children have learnedthe past tense rule for regular verbs such as ―walk and ―kiss, but they haven’t learned that they cannot use this rule for all verbs. Some verbs like ―eat are irregular, and the past tense forms for irregular verbs must be learned individually. Anyway, these mistakes are normal, and the children will soon learn to use the past tense for regular and irregular verbs correctly. The children then continue to learn other grammatical structures in the same way.If we stop to think about it, actually it’s quite amazing how quickly babies and children all over the world learn their language and how similar the process is for babies all over the world.Do you remember anything about how you learned your first language during the early years of your life? Think about the process for a minute. What was your first word? Was it ―mama or maybe ―papa? Now think also about the process of learning English as a second language. Can you remember the first word you learned in English? I doubt that it was ―mama. Now, think about some of the similarities and differences involved in the processes of child and adult language learning. We’ll talk about some similarities and differences in the first and second language learning processes tomorrow. See you then.Lesson 7 RobotsWhen people think about a robot,they often picture a machi ne that looks something like a human being.However,that’s not always the case.Most robots do not look much like a human being at all,they look like machines because that’s what most of them are-industrial machines.Today,Iam going to talk mostly about industrial robots use d in industry.These are robots that do work that for humanswould be physically demanding,repetitive,dangerous or very bo ring.Most industrial robots work on in an assembly line in a factory.For example,a robot might put liz on jars of fruits or start boxesfor shaping.In a car factory,robotic arms on an a ssembly line join the parts of a car together;other robots tigh ten the boats on the cars wheelsor paint the car.There are t housands of robots putting cars together in___plan.These rob ots are very precise when repeating a task.For example,they always tighten boats with the same exact amount of force.They always move a heavy engine to exactly where it should be a nd they always put ahold in the exact same place in every ca r door hour after hour.These are examples of robots doing th e work humans could do but the robots are doing the work more efficiently and precisely.So,just how do robots work?To do its job a robot fir st needs a control system.This control system directs the robots mechanical parts.The control system of a robot is sort of sp eak--a robot brain.So how does a robot learn which action to do first and which of its moving part needs to do that action?A robot learns its job with the help and guidance of a human being.To teach an industrial robot to do something,firsta person must use a hand-held computer.The computer is us ed to guide the robots arm and hand through the motions it needs to do.Then,the robot stores exact movement in its c omputer memory.The robot has sensors to gather information,s o now the robot will use its sensors to direct its actions.The robot tells its moving part what to do and then it performs the action.For example,to pick up and move a box,the r obot first finds the box,next it decides the weight of the bo x.Then it decides how much force is needed to lift and mov e the box,and finally,it finds the correct place to put the box down.It repeats the process over and over until it's turne d off.It does the same job until it is given the job and ne w program to follow.Some scientists think that robots of the f uture will be smarter than today's robots.They may also look more human like or even animal like.In fact,they may work and think more like humans do.The industrial robots we've b een talking about so far today are automatic robots.They are known as automatic robots because they have prog ram to follow a specific series of ually,they have parts that move but they really don't travel around.On theother hand,an autonomous machine can change itsbehavior in re lation to its surroundings.For example,an autonomous robot wit h wheelsor legs to move around can change direction when it senses that there are something in its way.A robot such as…can detect the movement of people nearby.It can move to av oid bumping into ing toward it.Asthma can even learn to dance by following the movements of a dancer next to it . I don't know whether or when people would welcome auto nomousmachines or human like robots.I guess that we will not only think about that in the future.We need to think about how we will interact with our global doctor:robal teacher,ro bal pet,or even our robal friend.Lesson 8 A Tidal WaveA tidal wave is a very large and very destructive wall of water that rushes in from the ocean towards the shore. Many scientists call these waves tsunami. In Japanese tsunami means “storm wave.”But do you know that tidal are not caused by storms and that they are not true tidal at all? A true tidal is the regular rise a waves and fall of ocean waters, at definite times each day, but a tidal wave comes rushing in suddenly and unexpectedly. A tidal wave is caused by an underwater earthquake. The word “seaquake”is made up of two words, the word “sea”which means “ocean”and the word “quake”. “To quake”means “to shake”or “to tremble.”When a seaquake takes place at the bottom of the ocean, the ocean floor shakes and trembles, and sometimes the ocean floor shifts. It is this shaking that produces the tidal wave. The tidal wave begins to move across the sea at great speed.Tidal waves have taken many human lives in the past. Today scientists can predict when a tidal wave will hit land. They use a seismograph to do this. A seismograph is an instrument that records the strength, the direction, and the length of time of an earthquake or seaquake. It is not possible to hold back a tidal wave, but it is possible to warn people that a tidal wave is coming. This warning can save many lives.Lesson 9 Levels of LanguageToday I want to talk about levels of language usage. You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two general, broad categories, or levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English is no exception. I’m not talking about correct and incorrect English. What I’m talking about are two levels of correct English. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books such as encyclopedias, and in business letters. For example, a letter to a university would be in formal style. You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school. People usually use formal English when they give classroom lectures or speechesand at ceremonies such as graduations. We also tend to use formal language in conversations with persons we don’t know well or with people we have a formal relationship with, such as professors, bosses, doctors, friends of our parents’, strangers, etc. Informal language is used in conversations with colleagues, family and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends, as well as in diaries, etc.Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. However, today I’m going to talk only about a couple of ways. First of all, formal language tends to be more polite. Interestingly, it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or family member, "Close the door, please", but to a stranger or someone in authority I probably would say "Would you mind closing the door" or "Excuse me, could you please close the door" Using words like "could" and "would" makes my request sound more polite, but also more formal.Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let me give you a couple of examples of what I mean. Let’s say "I’m just crazy about soccer!" But if I were talking to my supervisor or a friend of my parents’, I would probably say "I really enjoy soccer" or "I like soccer very much". Let’s say I’m telling someone some news I heard about the police arresting a criminal. To my friend I might say "The cops bagged the crook". To my parents’friend I might say "The police arrested the thief".Although the line between formal and informal language is not always clearand although people are probably less formal today than in the past, it is useful to be aware that these two levels, or categories, do exist. The best way for a non-native speaker of English to learn the difference is to observe the different ways English speakers speak or write in different situations. Television newscasters, your college professors in class, your doctors in their offices, etc, will usually speak rather formally. However, your classmates, teammates, family members, friends, etc. will generally speak in an informal fashion. The difference can be learned over time by observing and interacting with native speakers.Lesson 10 Power: The Kinds People Use and AbuseJohn Mack, who is the author of a book about power, says that the need for a sense of personal power is one of the primary forces in human life. On the other hand, he also says that a feeling of powerlessness is one of the most disturbing of human emotions ―a feeling to be avoided at all costs. Just what is power?Psychologists define power as the ability to determine or to change the actions or behavior of other people. Psychologists are trying to identify different kinds of power so that they can better understand how people use these different kinds of power to gain control over other people. They are trying to understand how people manipulate other people for good and evil purposes. Psychologists have identified five basic types of power, and I’d like to talk about each of these briefly in the next few minutes.The first type of power is called information power. Some psychologist believe that information power is one of the most effective types of power and control. The person who has information that other people want and need, but do not have, is in a position of power. Why is this? Well, most people like to receive and have information. Having information increases a person’s own sense of power. People who provide information can manipulate those who do not have information. Often, when people receive information, they do not know that they are being manipulated by those who provided the information. The psychologist named Edwards says, for example, that newspapers provide a lot of information to their readers, and that these newspaper readers generally believe the information they read. Readers do not question the accuracy of the reports about world events they read in the newspapers.A second type of power is called referent power. For example, a person may want to behave like the members of a particular group, such as a soccer team ( or a group of classmates), or a person may identify with and want to be like a certain teacher, a friend, or say , a rock star. If you identify with another person, that person has power over you, and that person can influence your actions and behavior. Many people imitate and are controlled by the people they identify with. Let me give you a sad example of the use of this type of power for evil purposes. In the 1970s in Jonestown, Guyana, more than 900 people committed suicide when their religious leader Jim Jones told them to kill themselves. They did what he told them to do because he had referent power over them. Theyidentified with him; they believe him, and they did what he told them to do. More recently a man named David Koresh controlled the lives and destinies of a small community of men, women, and children in Waco, Texas. Most people in his community died in a fire, along with their leader, during a confrontation with U.S. government agents.A third kind of power is classified as legitimate power. Government officials, according to Edwards, have a lot of legitimate power. When the government decides to raise taxes or make people go to war, most people will do what their government officials tell them to do. One psychologist reported on an experiment that showed an example of this type of power. In this experiment, a researcher asked people on the street to move away from a bus stop. When he was dressed as a civilian, few people moved away from the bus stop. When the researcher was dressed as a guard, most people moved away from the bus stop. The guard’s uniform seemed to give the researcher a look of legitimate power.A fourth kind of power is called expert power. An expert is a person who is very skilled in some area, such as sports, or who knows a lot about something, such as computers. Most people are impressed by the skills or knowledge of an expert. Some of these “experts”use their skills at playing sports or knowing about computers to gain power and influence ―and to gain money or admiration, according to Edwards. In other words, they use their expertise to gain power.Finally, reward or coercive power is used by people who have the power to reward or punish another person’s actions or behavior. Giving a reward will change people’s behavior because it offers people a chance for gain. Giving a punishment may or may not cause the people to do what the powerful person wants them to do, but the changes may not last for a long time. The person who uses coercive power may also have to carefully watch that the less powerful person does, in fact, change his or her actions or behavior.To sum up, then, power may be gained in many ways. It may come from having information that other people want or need; it may come from being a referent for other people to identify with or to imitate; it may come from having an official, or legitimate, position of authority; it may come from having skills or expertise; or it may come from having the power to reward or punish people. We all exercise one or more of these various kinds of power over other people, and other people will try to exercise one or more of these kinds of power over us throughout our lives.Lesson 11 Asian and African Elephants: Similarities and Differences The African and the Asian elephants are the largest land animals in the world. They are really enormous animals. The African and the Asian elephants are alike, o r similar, in many ways, but there are differences between the 2 types of elephants , too.What are some of the similarities between the African and the Asian elephant Well, for one thing, both animals have long noses, called trunks. An elephant sometimes uses its trunk like a third hand. Both kinds of elephants use their trunks to p ick up very small objects and very large, heavy objects. They can even pick up trees with their trunks. For another thing, both the African and the Asian elephants hav e very large ears, although the African elephant’s ears are considerably larger.In addition, both animals are intelligent. They can be trained to do heavy work . They can also be trained to do tricks to entertain people. In other words, they bot h work for people, and they entertain people also.As I said before, the African and Asian elephants are alike in many ways, but t hey are also quite different, too. Let me explain what I mean. The African elephant is larger and heavier than the Asian elephant. Asian elephants reach a height of about 10 feet, and African elephants reach about 13 feet tall.The African male elephant weighs between 12,000 and 14,000 pounds. In con trast, the average Asian male elephant weighs between 7,000 and 12,000 pounds. So one is bigger than the other, but as you can see,both are still enormous animals. Another difference between the 2 kinds of elephants is the size of the ears. Asian elephants have smaller ears than African elephants . The African elephant has 2 ve ry large teeth. These teeth are called tusks. The Asian elephanthowever sometimes does not have any tusks at all. The elephants differ in color, to o. The African elephant is dark gray in color while the Asian elephant is light gray. O ccasionally an Asian elephant is even white ! The last big difference between the 2 typesof elephants is their temperament. The Asian elephant is tamer than the Afric an elephant, orin another way, the African elephant is much wilder than the Asian elephant. As a r esult, it’s more difficult to train the African elephant to perform tricks to entertain people. That’s why the elephants you see in the circus are probably Asian elephant s and not African elephants.Yes, there certainly are differences between the African and the Asian elephan ts, but as I mention at the start of mytall, there is one big similarity between the 2 animals: they are both fascinating an d enormous animals.。

As incomes rise, health can decline. On Monday, the U.N. opens a high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases that usually have been associated with western nations.In recent years, India and China have seen a growing middle class. But with greater affluence has come a surge in diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. South Africa is on a similar path. The United Nations will debate what can be done about these illnesses.Project HOPE is calling on the U.N. to take strong action C not only on treatment C but prevention. The health-based NGO has programs in 35 countries on 5 continents, many of them dealing with non-communicable diseases or NCDs.One of them C the HOPE Center C is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Stefan Lawson, country director for Project HOPE, welcomes the U.N. meeting.“It's the first time that we've had non-communicable diseases put on such a high-level forum. The last time a specific disease was done at this sort of level was for HIV and AIDS. And so, being able to push for non-communicable diseases up at that ministerial level I think will do a lot of good,“ he said.What's for dinner?Lawson said a majority of South African men and women are now overweight.。

Climate change is a pressing issue facing our planet today, and it has far-reaching consequences for many aspects of human life. One such consequence is the effect on our food supply. As the climate becomes more unpredictable and extreme weather events become more frequent, agricultural production is at risk.One of the main problems is rising temperatures. Higher temperatures can cause heat stress on plants, which can lower crop yields. Additionally, increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can affect photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. This can result in slower growth and lower nutritional value of crops.Another issue is changing precipitation patterns. Some areas may experience more frequent and intense droughts, while others may see an increase in heavy rainfall and flooding. Both of these scenarios have negative impacts on crop production. Droughts can lead to water scarcity, and without enough water, crops cannot grow. On the other hand, heavy rainfall and flooding can destroy crops and soil, making it difficult to grow anything in the future. Furthermore, climate change can also impact pests and diseases. Warmer temperatures can lead to the expansion of the range and population of certain pests, which can damage crops. In addition,changing climate conditions can create favorable environments for the spread of diseases that affect both plants and animals. Overall, climate change poses a serious threat to global food security. Without adequate food supply, there will be impacts on nutrition and health, as well as social and economic stability. It is crucial that we take immediate action to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure a sustainable and secure food future.。

学术综合英语听力原文听力文章内容:In today's class, we will be discussing academic integrated listening, which is an important part of language proficiency. Academic integrated listening refers to the ability to understand and analyze a variety of academic materials and courses through language, including the language used in academic papers, conferences, and other related activities.When it comes to academic integrated listening, the ability to understand the language used in different academic fields is particularly important. For example, the language used in the field of science is different from that used in the field of humanities. Therefore, it is essential to have a good knowledge of language in order to understand and analyze academic materials effectively.In addition to language proficiency, academic integrated listening also requires good cognitive and analytical skills. You need to be able to quickly identify important information, distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information, and apply the knowledge gained to analyze and solve problems.To improve your academic integrated listening ability, you can read academic papers in English and take notes on the main points. You can also listen to English-speaking radio programs or podcasts related to yourfield of interest, which will help you familiarize yourself with the language used in different academic fields. In addition, you can attend academic conferences and other related events to improve your ability to understand and analyze academic materials.Finally, remember that improving your academic integrated listening ability requires time and effort. It is not a process that can be completed overnight, but with regular practice and attention, you can achieve significant improvement in your language proficiency and cognitive skills.。
UNIT 1Welcome to Insidermedicine In Depth. I'm Dr. Susan Sharma.Focusing time and energy on the most personally meaningful aspects of their work may help physicians avoid burnout, according to a survey published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Here are some consequences of physician burnout, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine: •Increased risk for substance abuse•Damage to personal relationships, and•Increased risk for developing inappropriate prescribing patternsResearchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester surveyed over 550 physicians in the department of internal medicine at a large academic medical center. The survey included questions about job satisfaction, emotional well-being, and the aspects of the jobs that were the most meaningful.As many as 34% of respondents met the criteria for burnout, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a low sense of personal accomplishment. The 88% who said they spent at least 20% of their working time on activities they found to be the most meaningful had about half the burnout rate of those who did not.Today's research highlights the need to optimize career fit among physicians in order to reduce burnout rates.For Insidermedicine In Depth, I'm Dr. Susan Sharma.1UNIT 2So I work in marketing, which I love, but my first passion was physics, a passion brought to me by a wonderful school teacher, when I had a little less gray hair. So he taught me that physics is cool because it teaches us so much about the world around us. Tonight I'm going to spend the next few minutes trying to convince you that physics can teach us something about marketing.So, quick show of hands —Who studied some marketing in university? (Show of hands.) Who studied some physics in university? (Show of hands.) Ooh, pretty good. And at school? (Show of hands.) Okay, lots of you. So, hopefully this will bring back some happy, or possibly some slightly disturbing memories. (Laughter.)So, physics and marketing: We'll start with something very simple, Newton's law: "The force equals mass times acceleration." This is something that perhaps Turkish Airlines should have studied a bit more carefully (Laughter.) before they ran this campaign. (Laughter.) But if we rearrange this formula quickly, we can get to acceleration equals force over mass, which means that for a larger particle, a larger mass, it requires more force to change its direction. It's the same with brands. The more massive a brand, the more baggage it has, the more force is needed to change its positioning. And that's one of the reasons why Arthur Andersen chose to launch Accenture rather than try to persuade the world that Andersen's could stand for something other than accountancy. It explains why Hoover found it very difficult to persuade the world that it was more than vacuum cleaners, (Laughter.) and why companies like Unilever and P&G keep brands separate, like Oreo and Pringles and Dove, rather than having one giant parent brand. So the physics is (that) the bigger the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its direction. The marketing is, the bigger a brand, the more difficult (it) is to reposition it. So think about a portfolio of brands or maybe new brands for new ventures.Now, who remembers Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? Getting a little more technical now. So this says that it's impossible, by definition, to measure exactly the state, i.e., the position, and themomentum of a particle, because the act of measuring it, by definition, changes it. So to explain that —if you've got an elementary particle and you shine a light on it, then the photon of light has momentum, which knocks the particle, so you don't know where it was before you look at it. By measuring it, the act of measurement changes it. The act of observation changes it. It's the same in marketing. So with the act of observing consumers, changes their behavior. Think about the group of moms who are talking about their wonderful children in a focus group, and almost none of them buy lots of junk food. And yet, McDonald's sells hundreds of millions of burgers every year. (Laughter.) Think about, er, the people who are accompanied shops in supermarkets, who stuff their trolleys full of fresh food, er, green vegetables and fruit, er, (but) don't shop like that any other day. So luckily, the science —no, sorry —the marketing is getting easier. Luckily, er, with now better point-of-sale tracking, more digital, er, media consumption, you can measure more what consumers actually do, rather than what they say they do. So the physics is, you can never accurately and exactly measure a particle, because the observation changes it. The marketing is —the message for marketing is —that, er, try to measure what consumers actually do, rather than what they say they'll do or anticipate they'll do.UNIT 3Interviewer: It is a tough time right now for anyone to find a job. It’s particularly hard for some college grads. A lot of people are at least worried about what they’re gonna do in terms of finding a job when they graduate. So let’s bring in Eric Yaverbaum, he is president of here, uh, with some tips for us. Thanks for being here, Eric.Eric: Thanks for having me.Interviewer: Talk to us about, people that are just about to graduate from college or maybe they recently graduated. They are trying to get a job. Tips for them. What do they possibly have to offer employers that other people might not right now?Eric: Well, you know, one, it’s a new world, and you got the generation born with a mouse in their hand; it’s graduating. And a lot of people who want that generation working for them, that’s an incredible talent set that not everybody has. Um, two is get real experience, I mean if you get while you are in college, just great. If you can’t get a job, get an internship. There is a big difference between those who have internships and those who have experience and those who don’t. I can tell you as an employer is that we get a stack of resumes more than ever obviously now. And the ones that we pull out are the ones that have experience and those of people who did internships.Interviewer: You know there are a lot of people applying to graduate school right now for a professional degree and going for higher education, hoping to ride out this recession and this extremely weak job market. Some tips for them in terms of being able to afford higher education or possibly asking teaming up with employers. Or some employers will pay for part of a degree if it ties in right with the, with what they do and if you’re going to assure them that you work for them for certain money, is that so around?Eric: Yeah, it’s still around, but it’s a lot less. It’s just like universities. They have a lot less to give. Corporations have a lot less to give, so in part you are on your own. But knowledge is power. You need to be empowered with the information that will serve you best and you’ve got to, that education will always pay off in a long-term. Times are tough, I know, they will not always be like this. We’re the big bad United States and we will come back and your education will be a value toyou.Interviewer: We will leave it there, Eric. Thank you so much people can learn more on ...Eric: , you can make, you can see a 360 degree perspective of any college you might wanna look at.Interviewer: Alright, there we go, thanks Eric.Eric: Thank you.UNIT 4You know that old adage that laughter is the best medicine. Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to keeping its emotions in check, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis. Here’s our digital reporter Joohee Cho.Laughing, for these cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise. It’s something that doesn’t come too easy for them, but an hour of laughter is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemotherapy. Lim Song Li, a therapist at Seoul National University hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand, and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture, where Confucian tradition dominates social behavior, laughing is not such a natural thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than thrice in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman’s laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home.But inside this hospital, they’re letting it out. By the end of the session, their make-belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort, more natural to Koreans, it’s singing. The sing-song star guru, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression, Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings, especially for Korean women brought up in a conservative background. For some these classes can be a stress-management tool, but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped this woman to come out of severe depression, but it also presented her with a new career. She swallowed 90 sleeping pills after her husband cheated on her, she says. But after taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself —cheer-leading. And now the new Ying Seung Woo is taking courses to become a certified therapist. And her dream to be up on that stage with her teacher, helping others once depressed like her may not be too far away.Joohee Cho, ABC NewsUNIT 5JENNIFER: I’m Jennifer Morris. We’d all like to live a healthier lifestyle, right? Whether that means getting more exercise, or kicking a nasty habit, or losing weight. But how do you get started, you know, what do you do? We’re back here with Trisha Calvo, executive editor of Shape Magazine with some more helpful hints. Hi.TRISHA: Hi.JENNIFER: How are you?TRISHA: Good.JENNIFER: So you have a half plate rule, can you tell me about what that is?TRISHA: Yes. I think for health or weight loss one of the most important things you can do isfill half of your plate with fruits or vegetables at every meal. What that does is it helps keep your calories under control. And it also ensures that you are getting plenty of fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals in your diet, which help control all your risk factors for diseases like heart disease, cancer, and it can even keep your skin looking wrinkle free and smooth and healthy, and glowing.JENNIFER: So what about the medical piece. A lot of people don’t go to the doctor enough, or they make appointments and they break it. What do you think about that?TRISHA: I think that, you pick a day, you know, whether it’s your birthday, and I think that’s a great day for people to sort of take stock of their health now that you’re older, and I think that what you can do is you can sit down and you can say, ok, this week I’m going to make all of my doctor’s appointments. I’m going to schedule a screening with the dermatologist for my skin cancer check-up. I’m going to get a mammogram if I’m a woman. I’m going to schedule my gynecology appointment so I can get my Pap Smear and my check-up. I’m gonna schedule my physical, now you obviously don’t have to go to the doctor on that week. But if you take an hour one day, and you just sit down and you make all the appointments over the next couple of months, you’ll have it in your calendar. And you will make sure that you are getting the preventative care that you need to catch a problem before it becomes a real problem.JENNIFER: Uh-huh, uh-huh. And lastly what about down time? I mean, we all live such busy lifestyles, it’s so hard to find down time.TRISHA: We are so busy and stress increasingly —researches’ve shown that stress has become a factor in a lot of diseases. Everything from catching a cold, to developing cancer, to developing heart disease, even depression. So it’s very important to take time for yourself during the day. And it can be just anything that you enjoy. Uh, you know, it doesn’t have to be, like “oh I need to get a massage, I need to officially relax”. It can just be, you know, I love my dog. I’m gonna play with my dog for ten minutes; I’m just gonna make that my coming home ritual. Or, I love…you know, historical fiction; I’m just gonna carve out fifteen minutes a day to read something that I really really enjoy. I personally, I am not happy if I am not reading a novel that I’m really engrossed in. And I just make sure that I have one in my bag at all times. And whenever I have a couple of minutes I just pull it open and it makes me happy. And it relieves the stress. And I think that everybody has something special like that that they love.JENNIFER: I mean it’s nice to think of it in small increments because I think we get overwhelmed looking at the whole picture when there are just small things that you can do throughout the day.TRISHA: Absolutely.JENNIFER: So what about exercise? Is that…is there similar things?TRISHA: Walking is one of the best exercises and you can do it anywhere, and it’s easy to do. And it does…you don’t have to be a super athlete to be able to do it. Ten minutes, just take ten minutes.JENNIFER: How many calories do you burn in ten minutes?TRISHA: A hundred forty-five pound woman, if she is walking briskly, about a hundred. JENNIFER: Amazing.TRISHA: Yeah, so you really, you got to kick it up a little bit to burn that many but brisk walking is great for your heart. Even slow walking is good for you, its good for your health; it’s good for your weight control. You know, obviously the more you can walk; take the stairs insteadof the elevator. Uh…Walk to appointments, get off, you know, park your car a little bit further away from the entrance to your office, or the mall. And walk, even those little things during the course of the day add up.JENNIFER: Thanks, more great advice from Trisha Calvo, executive editor of Shape Magazine.UNIT 6(Applause.) I'm gonna talk about a very fundamental change that is going on in the very fabric of the modern economy. And to talk about that, I'm gonna go back to the beginning, because in the beginning were commodities. Commodities are things you grow in the ground, raise in the ground or pull out of the ground: basically, animal, mineral, vegetable. And then you extract them out of the ground, and sell them on the open marketplace. Commodities were the basis of the agrarian economy that lasted for millennia. But then along came the industrial revolution, and then goods became the predominant economic offering, where we used commodities as a raw material to be able to make or manufacture goods.So, we moved from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy. Well, what then happened over the last 50 or 60 years, is that goods have become commoditized. Commoditized —where they're treated like a commodity, where people don't care who makes them. They just care about three things and three things only: price, price and price.Now, there's an antidote to commoditization, and that is customization. My first book was called "Mass Customization" —it came up a couple of times yesterday —and how I discovered this progression of economic value was realizing that customizing a good automatically turned it into a service, because it was done just for a particular person, because it wasn't inventoried, it was delivered on demand to that individual person.So, we moved from an industrial economy to a service-based economy. But over the past 10 or 20 years, what's happened is that services are being commoditized as well. Long-distance telephone service sold on price, price, price; fast-food restaurants with all their value pricing; and even the Internet is commoditizing not just goods, but services as well. What that means is that it's time to move to a new level of economic value. Time to go beyond the goods and the services, and use, in that same heuristic, what happens when you customize a service? What happens when you design a service that is so appropriate for a particular person —that's exactly what they need at this moment in time? Then you can't help but make them go "wow"; you can't help but turn it into a memorable event —you can't help but turn it into an experience.So we're shifting to an experience economy, where experiences are becoming the predominant economic offering. Now most places that I talk to, when I talk about experience, I talk about Disney —the world's premier experience-stager. I talk about theme restaurants, and experiential retail, and boutique hotels, and Las Vegas —the experience capital of the world. But here, when you think about experiences, think about Thomas Dolby and his group, playing music. Think about meaningful places. Think about drinking wine, about a journey to the Clock of the Long Now. Those are all experiences. Think about TED itself, the experience capital in the world of conferences. All of these are experiences.。
