3、t she has a time confliction between award ceremony and biology exam. The solution is that she can choose to take exam or replace it with a 5-page paper in order to attend this ceremony.

4、to a student. The experience of accepting this award far outweighs the trouble of writing 5-page paper.

17、t computer class. So it wont solve the problem of overcrowded in daytime.The second reason is that university will even spend more money on the cost of hiring new teachers and extension of the academic building opening hours. A better and cost-effective solution is to purchase new computers which no

18、w are more affordable and computer classroom has plenty of space to hold these new computers.Q4In the lecture, the professor offered us two examples to illustrate the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.The first example is that his uncle Pete gave him surprise visit. He produced

19、 unconsciously a very rich facial and body expression: his eyes got wide, broke into a huge big smile, jumped up and down. His nonverbal signals even represent more information to convey how happy he was to meet with Uncle Pete.The second example is his thumb was hurt by a hammer when he taught her

32、oose the later one. The main reason is I have already been out of practice for a period of time. Whats more, I do not have enough time to recover my wrist at all. So I may not do my best for the concert and will disappoint my partners for my imperfect performance. Thats what I dont want to expect. M

33、y substitute seems to be an unreliable person. But he is a perfect violinist and I am sure that he can adapt to his role in a short time.Q6From the lecture, professor introduced us two types of motivation which exert tremendous influence on our action.The first one is extrinsic type. That type of mo

34、tivation is stimulated by external factor. For example, a child will do some housework for a reward. However, if the parents stop giving her money, the child will not do the housework continually. In this case, the reward of money is the external motivation. At such times, people cannot persist to d

35、o something by chance that the external factors disappeared.The second one is intrinsic type. The motivation stems from our happiness or achievement. The professor offer herself as an example.

39、 as many people as possible, however, more recent trends in advertising have turned towards target marketing. Target marketing is a strategy of advertising to smaller, very specific audiences-audiences that have been determined to have the greatest need or desire of the product being marketed. Targe

40、t marketing has proved to be very effective in reacting potential customers.TPO 6Q3From the conversation, the woman refute the Tims proposal that history department should reduce three-hour seminar to two-hour.The first reason is that the unreasonable schedule arrangement by Tim mentioned is, in fac

41、t, just his own problem. Tim always stays up late party so that he cannot prepare and rest well. Not all of the students have such problem with concentrating in the seminar.The second reason is that everyone enjoys the seminar especially at the last hour. They can exchange important ideas with each

42、other and then get involved with the seminars, not just an audience. Actually its the most useful part of seminar for the students to communicate together. So they will gain a lot of benefits from three-hour seminars.Q4From the lecture, the professor gave us the car advertisement to explain the conc

43、ept about implicit memory. In this example, a lot of people drive by the billboard on which painted a big picture of a cars name “panther” in the highway. When those drivers are asked directly about the cars name showed in the billboard, they cannot recall anything about this ad and the cars name. H

44、owever, their first impression is the cars name panther when they are asked about what animals starting with the letter P.From this experiment, people may not remember what contents on the road-side billboard, but they will still display reactions showed that they already notice them. Thats the impl

45、icit memory.Q5From the conversation, the woman faced the problem that their team doesnt perform effectively on the field of study. The professor offered her two solutions. One is to arrange another time to study together. Another choice is to choose a leader to manage her study team.In my opinion, I

46、 prefer the latter one. First of all, not all of people have free time to get together and thats the purpose why we set up a team. Moreover, choose a leader to organize the team can bring many benefits. For example, he can set a goal and draft a study schedule in advance. He can supervise other memb

47、ers to finish their assignments on time and make them focus on the problem together. Therefore a responsible leader can ensure the whole study team to perform effectively.Q6In the lecture, the professor took a biology class as an example to illustrate two types of attention.The first type of attenti

48、on is active one. In this situation, students concentration will not last a long time before they get distracted. In fact, students are not interested in your lecture at all, they will just oblige them to pay attention on your lecture. For example, you just introduce some frogs common knowledge to s

49、tudents. They may persist to focus on your class for a while. Another type is passive attention. It does not require students force their attention on your lecture. Its involuntary and unconscious. Try to use some amazing and engaging skills to arouse their appetite. For instance, in a biology class

50、, you bring a live frog to help your students study its characteristics. Their attention will be naturally attracted by this frog and stick it for a long time.TPO7Q3From the conversation, the woman cast doubts on the university proposal that sculpture courses should be eliminated due to a lack of st

51、udent interest.The first reason the woman offer is that art students did not get enough time to take some classes which they are interested in. Because too many required classes have already fulfilled with their course schedule. They have few choices to arrange other subjects in. University should s

52、et flexible requirements to attract more art students to take optional classes. The second reason is that lack of budgets to hire full-time professors can be solved by following ways: University can hire part-time professors to teach students sculpture courses or employ other professors who have sec

53、ondary fields of sculpture.Q4From the lecture, we can learn that children will change their behavior according to the teachers attitude. That process is called the behavior modification.The unpleasant consequence will discourage further repetition of the behavior. For example, children violate the r

54、ules about proper behavior for a classroom. Such as they interrupt the class and walk around the classroom and so on. Then teacher get angry with them and punish for their misbehavior.From that way, children will take a lesson about how to behavior at class. They will gradually modify their behavior

55、 through the way that observing the teachers attitude. Then they will be received some little reward from their teachers when they act as well-behaved boys or girls. That pleasant consequence will encourage them to comply with disciplines of the class.Q5From the conversation, the woman faced the pro

56、blem that she cannot finish her paper on time due to the breakdown of her computer. She has two solutions to solve this problem. The first one is that she can go to computer lab to finish her paper. The second one is that she can urge the repair shop to fix her computer at the beginning of next week

57、.In my opinion, I will choose the latter one. The reason is that the computer lab is usually crowded with people. The noise in the lab will interrupt my thoughts and distract my attention so that I cannot devote my attention on my paper in a perfect condition. Moreover, Im very familiar with my comp

58、uters operation. So it is inconvenient that I have to change my custom if I use the lab computer.Q6From the lecture, the professor introduced two major factors of product quality which usually determine the customers decision when they choose the same quality of products.The first factor is reliabil

59、ity which means you can use your products without needing repairing in the period of guarantee. Take car as example, you will not expect to fix your car frequently. People are not willing to get into those troubles after buying product. This factor used to determine peoples image of product quality.The second factor is prod
