7、 it would suit you much better,because theres one every two hours. Woman: So how much does that cost?Man: Lets see.

14、for your help!Section 2Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. Its nice to see many people in the audience . For those of you who dont know very much about PS Camping , let me start by giving you some background information about the company.The company started twenty-five years ago. It ac
15、tually opened as a retail chain selling camping equipment and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK ,and began offering camping holidays. The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years.If you book a camping h
16、oliday with us, youll have a choice of over three hundred sites. In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland. We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain
17、, particularly in the mountainous region of picos de Europa. Weve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star ratingWe believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all o
18、r part of the day can take advantage of our childrens activities. These are organised by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activi
19、ties. In the afternoon, theres a different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. Whats more, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise rule in the evenings. Childrens evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or
20、 occasionally 10, and from 10:30 holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you havent organised an annual insurance policy of your own youll need to take
21、 out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you take your holiday reservation.There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer. Youll be kept informed of special offers. And your friends can benefit from ten per
22、cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, well send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think of every essential detail, fr
23、om an oven and cooking rings fuelled by bottled gas, to mirrors in the bedroom areas. If you dont want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available, and theres even a picnic blanket to sit on outside your tent. Inside, a box of games and toys can be f
24、ound, and childrens tents can be hired if required, All tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box, which will keep your food and drinks chilled. There are excellent washing facilities at all our sites, with washi
25、ng machines and clothes lines in the central areas, along with mops and buckets in case your tent needs cleaning during your stay. All sites have a cafe and/or a shop for those whod rather eat in than dine at a local restaurant. Section 3Tutor:Well, youve both been looking at different styles of man
26、aging individuals，in companies and the workplace. Hows the research going,philip?Philip:Well, Ive been looking at why individualism, I mean individual difference, are such an important area of management studies. When you think about any organization, be it a family business or a multinational compa
27、ny, they are all fundamentally a group of people working together. But its what these individuals contribute to their pleases of work that makes you realize how important they are. Of course they bring different ideas, but its also their attitudes and their experiences of learning. Diversity is impo
28、rtant in these areas too.Tutor:So why do people behave so differently from one another at work?Philip:There are lots of reason but research has shown a lot of it comes down to personality. And the other factor is gender. Its a well known fact that men and women do lots of things in different ways, a
29、nd the workplace is no different. Tutor:Did you look at the effects of this variation on companies?Philip:Yes, I did. On the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately individual difference are also the root of con
30、flict between staff and they can lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious.Tutor:Thanks,philip. So now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Janice, you were looking at identifying different talents in work
31、ers Do you think this is easy for managers to do?Janice:Well,currently teamwork is in fashion in the workplace and in my opinion the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What managers should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in a situation and are not afraid to ac
32、cept the idea of responsibility.Tutor:Thats true. Janice but unfortunately many managers think the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff is far too hard.Janice:Yes. That may be true but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the indiv
33、idual on one hand and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension.Tutor:So Janice, what kind of people do you think companies should be looking for?Janice Well, it has to start from the very beginning when companies are loo
34、king for new employees. When the personal department is choosing between applicants they need to look for someone whos broken the mould and can think for themselves. Instead, people making these decisions often ues a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver, or will do as
35、theyre told. Im not convinced these qualities are actually the most important.Tutor:So do you think being a good team player is overrated?Janice No,its not overrated. You do need to learn the rules and learn them fast. No individual can get around this if youre working in an organization.Tutor:So ho
36、w should managers deal with this?Janice Rewards. When an individual demonstrates, the behaviour the organisation expects, some kind of incentive can be given. Whats important here is that this happens right at the beginning so new recruits learn the rules of the system immediately. Also the incentiv
37、e should be something the individual actually wants, and this isnt always just money。Tutor:To come back to you, philip. You were saying that recognition of good performers is essential. What else should managers be looking for?Philip:Well,managing people means you not only have an understanding of y
38、our employees,but you also recognise the culture of the organization. In fact, for some organizations creativity and individuality may be the last thing they want to see during working hours.Tutor:Very true. Philip:Yes,but managing people isnt as easy as it looks. For example, change in the workplac
39、e can be quite tricky. Especially if theres a need to increase profit，. And at times like these managers may have to give priority to profit rather than individual staff needs.Tutor:yes,and that creates difficult situations for people.Philip:Yes, but whats important is that managers are able to deal
40、 with quite high levels of personal stress. During times of change they should be thinking not only about the strain on their staff but take time out to think of themselves.Tutor:Absolutely. So what are the implications of that forSection 4Good afternoon, everyone!This is the first seninar in prepar
41、ation for our archaeological fieldwork in Namibia, we are fantastically luck to have received partial research funding for this trip from our Institute, so I shall expect 200% attention and participation from you all. First in this seminar, Im going to give a brief introduction to contemporary resea
42、rch on rock art, and in the second part Im going to give you some dos and donts for our fieldwork trip in April so please listen very carefully.Im first going to focus on the interpretation of rock art in Namibia, we are very fortunate to be going to an area where you can find some of the most impor
43、tant sites in the entire world. And I hope to show you how easy it is foe everyone to make mistakes in looking at cultures which are different from our pwn the first and most important lesson we have to learn. In Namibia there are both paintings and engraving thats where the surface of the rock is c
44、ut out. Many of the engravings show footprints of animals and most scholars used to think that the purpose of these was simple and obvious. This r ock art was like a school book with picture to teach children about tracks whick belonged to which animal giraffe, lion and so on.But there were some mys
45、teries. First, when you look at a typical Namibian painting or engraving, you see the tracks are repeated, there are dozens of tracks for the same animal. Youd expect just one clear illustration if the reason the aim was to teach tracking.Now there were two more problem, why are some of the engravin
46、g of animals very accurate as youd expect all clearly identifiable- and others quite unrealisticAnd another mystery some of these unrealistic animals that*s in the engravings seem to be half human. Some, for example, have got human faces, Many reaearchers now think that these were pictures the wise
47、men engraved of themselves. They belived they could use magic to control the animals they had drawn, so the hunters could then catch them for food.This shows you some of the dangers of coming from one culture to another, as well be doing, without understanding it fully. Scholars imagined that childr
48、en looked at rock art pictures to learn to track just because they themselves had learnt skills from pictures, many researchers now believe that rock art had a much more complex purpose, and we*ll talk more about it next week.!Now before I invite you to join in a discussion in this second part of the seminar, Id like to make some very important points about pur fieldwork and in face any field trip to look at rock art.Were going to a number of sites, and we wont always to together. The single largest problem faced by people who manage the sites is
