Why? Because the more television kids watch, the more theyre exposed to adve
15、rtising .The more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store.This could generate conflict if the parents refuse. All that researchers say can contribute to parents overall stress levels. Whats the solution ? Perhaps the m
16、ost obvious is curtailing screen time.Commercial content is there for a reason :to elicit purchasing behavior, so parents might want to shut off the TV. Researchers can see that this is easier said than done. So they suggest another option. Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purcha
17、ses. The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions.They shouldnt try to control all purchases. Instead, parents might tell their children things like: I will listen to your advice on certain products or brands. This type of communication, the rese
18、archers assert, can lead to children, making fewer purchasing demands- that means less parent stress.However, the protective effect of this kind of communication diminishes with greater exposureto television. This is because advertising aimed at children is especially persuasive. Advertisers use an
19、assortment of tactics, such as bright colors, happy music and celebrity endorsements to appeal to children. Plus children dont have the cognitive ability to fully understand advertisings intent that makes them particularly vulnerable to advertisements.Q9: What has the new study found about children
20、watching television?Q10:What are parents advised to do to reduce the impact of TV commercials?Qll: What makes children particularly vulnerable to TV commercials?Passage 2Everyone is supposed to cheer for good guys. And we should only punish the bad guys, but that!s not what we always do. Most of the
21、 time we do indeed reward good people. We also often punish people who harm others or who arent good team players, but sometimes the good guys also get punished or criticized specifically because they are so good. This seems baffling because its detrimental to group cooperation. However, the phenome
22、non has been discovered in multiple fields and it has been found in every society. Why does this happen? Research suggests a simple reason when one person looks really good, others look bad by comparison. Those others then have an incentive in stopping that person from looking good, especially if th
23、ey canrt or wont compete. After all, werre all judged in comparison with others. When faced with someone better, what can a normal person do? One option is to actively compete.A second option is to bring that person down that is to suppress their cooperation or work ethic, and first selfish motives
24、for their actions or imply real or imagined hypocrisy. Other tactics include attacking them on unrelated dimensions or punishing them outright. Why does this matter? Critics often attack the motives ofpeople who protect the environment, donate money or work too hard. Such good deeds are dismissed as
25、 naive or hypocritical by those who do not perform those deeds. This criticism may ultimately discourage people from doing good deeds.so its important to recognize these attacks for what they are.Q12: What baffling phenomenon is discussed in the passage?Q13: How are we all judged according to the pa
26、ssage?Q14: What can a normal person do when faced with people who perform better?Q15: what may discourage people from performing good deeds?Lecture 1 雪萱In America, most researchers can see that boys and girls are brought up in different ways, taught different skills and rewarded for different acts.
27、Women, it is agreed excel at certain tasks, men at others. There is little argument that some personality traits appear more dominant in one sex than in the other.All of this, not withstanding, gender differences are very much in the media these days. Since the rise of the womens movement, gender ro
28、le behavior has come under closer scrutiny. How has this affected friendship? How do the sexes differ in their friendship relations? Most preteen children have a best friend who is usually someone of the same sex and similar age.Both sexes share an essentially positive recollection of these childhoo
29、d friendships, they do not differ in this respect. However, the type of play engaged in during these early friendships is telling of the difference to come. Boys tend to form playgroups that are competitive in nature. Girls groups more frequently revolve around cooperative enterprises. Thus at an ea
30、rly age, boys become concerned with trying hard and winning, while girls by contrast play house and school, engaging in roles that require complimentary support. Speaking of their childhood, men recall being highly responsive to and aware of the gender role opinions of other boys. Girls in preteen y
31、ears appear to be less susceptible to gender role pressure. It is not until the dating years that women report being concerned with feminine behavior. Males for the most part are responsive to the suggestion that their behavior is unmanly at almost any age. These early attitudes reinforced by social
32、 conditioning continue to play an active part in the friendships of both sexes during adolescence. This is a period when the majority of males, once again, report a close Alliance with same sex friends.Now, however； with heightened intensity, considerable energy is devoted to competing for position
33、and a definite undercurrent of competition permeates the relationship. Although in dissimilar fashion, females share equally fragile relationships at this age. For them, the bond of loyalty extends only to the line of romantic involvement.This is most apt to be the case in late adolescence when dati
34、ng and relationships with boys take sharp precedence over sisterhood. Actually dating dilutes the intensity of same sex friendships for men also. For the majority of us, the moment we begin to date seriously, theres a competition between romance and friendship.Q16: What does the speaker say about mo
35、st preteen children?Q17: What do most males devote much of their energy to during adolescence?Q18: What do children do when they reach late adolescence?Lecture 2Good afternoon. In todayrs lecture, well be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for a job. On average, about
36、20% of the population has some form of disability. Most countries these days have equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws, yet disabled people often find it hard to decide when, how, and if at all to raise their disability problem with a potential employer. There is uncertainty about how a recr
37、uiter will perceive their disability as such many candidates fear they wouldnt be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information. And research has validated this as a genuine concern for many job applicants. Its a natural reaction, but it shouldnt be a reason to stay q
38、uiet. People need to remember that they are applying for a position they have the skills and experience to.Discussing a disability with a potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustments in their favor. Its most appropriate to discuss a disability when they reply to confirm an
39、interview, this information needed to be put up front in their cover letter or resume, because its probably not relevant to the position itself. Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to make their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice. If they find
40、an organization that doesnt celebrate diversity and inclusion, it could say a lot about the companyrs culture, perhaps the organization isnt the right fit. Itfs important for them to. remember That they are seeking a manager, an employer thatrs going to be supportive and continue to give them a grea
41、t employment experience. Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form, but people shouldnft feel restricted by this method or timing. People should avoid sharing the name of their disability or condition. There is always the risk that the recruit
42、er will research inform that is inaccurate or irrelevant. If people donrt think their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position, then its entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to share this information.Q19: Why do disabled job applicants feel reluctan
43、t to disclose their disability information?Q20: When does the speaker suggest applicants reveal their disability information? Q21: What are people advised to do when filling out their job application form?Lecture 3Smartphones Distract attention and reduce learning because of their potential to offer
44、 activities more inviting than study.But what about background sound alone?A group of American researchers compared students1 comprehension of verbal material when reading in the presence of background speech, instrumental music or general noise.General noise is neutral such as that from the sound o
45、f an air conditioner or fan. Student scores were most depressed in the presence of background speech. Comprehension was slightly better with the presence of music than with speech. However, when they were asked to identify melodies rather than understand text background music interfered more. When t
46、he background speech was in a language unfamiliar to participants, there was little, if any hindrance of reading comprehension.British researchers compared the effects of background speech, vocal music, instrumental music, general background noise and silence on short term memory. Background speech
47、had the biggest negative effect. Vocal music was slightly more disruptive than instrumental.In general background noise and silence were least disrupt.It seems the degree of interference from background noise depends on the overlap between the processing required on the task and the processing requi
48、red to screen out the background noise.The studies suggest that when people read and when they try to remember any verbalmaterial, background speech will inhibit their ability.Instrumental music will have at worst a slight effect.When students write essays, however,other research has found it is bes
49、t to reduce all background noise as much as possible.Not everyone reacts in the same way to distractions.Other studies suggest some aspects of personality may make a difference.The researchers subjected shy, quiet people and confident, outgoing ones to high arousal or low arousal background music, general noise or silence while asking them to remember words.Everyone performed best in the silent condition, but less sociable peopl
