Have you started thinking about what kind of senior project youd like to write when you return from South America？ Student Yes, Ive been thinking that it would be great to study the Amazon and all of the cultures that thrive on its banks.

But it would be quite difficult to include them all in your paper. Student OK then, I will take your advice. Professor Good! Student Before I leave for Peru, Ill have an outline for you.

听力原文： Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, one is tempted to direct the orchestra even though one knows there is a competent conductor on the job.

Strange as this behavior. may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless one participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.

The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, although this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.

(30)

A．Thinking is not a mental process.

B．Thinking was only a mental action.

C．Thinking is a process that involves our entire body.

D．Thinking is a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain.

听力原文： When I first went to London as a student, I sat a lone during parties with my glass of wine. I hoped people would think that I was having great thoughts and that someone might come up to me and say "Excuse me, I hope you won't mind my coming up to you like this. I don't want to interrupt your thoughts. But really, you are the only interesting-looking person in the room. May I talk to you？ It never happened. Here is some ad vice if you would like to be a good conversationalist. Be an attentive listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and what they have done. Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems. A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Africa which kills a million people. A pain in one's arm interests one more than forty earthquakes in America. Think of that the next time you start a conversation. Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who is sup posed to have lived in a barrel, said, "The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so that we may listen more and talk less."

A．Nobody came to talk to the speaker.

B．People didn't listen to the speaker attentively.

C．People kept interrupting the speaker.

D．People made fun of the speaker.

听力原文：Interviewer (Woman) :Isn't advertising really a kind of lying？

Advertising man(Man) :I don't think so. Quite often people do try to get away with those types of things, but the Federal Trade Commission is always very quick to jump on them to force them to show evidence to back up a claim.

I: I mean in your work. I mean, don't you actually tell lies to get people to buy things？ let me give you an example. You know, a movie star says that she uses--a starlet--says that she uses a certain kind of soap every night to make her skin look beautiful and, of course, she doesn't use it at all, or hardly ever.

A: I think if you go back very recently, just within the last year, you'll remember that one of our famous singers and actors and was uh... called do, ma for just that very thing, where he endorsed a product which he didn't use and had to take back what he said in his endorsement.

I: I see, so what you're saying is that you're forced to be honest in the profession.

A: In some cases that may be true. I won't deny that.

I: Well, you've been in the ad. business for nearly fifteen years. What kind of work do you find most interesting？

A: I would say, developing new markets, or not so much new markets, but when you have a product which previously people didn't perceive that they needed, but it is an advancement or an improvement over what people previously used, and are able to educate people and inform. them of a partiular thing, and they discover it will make their life better mid it is something that they could use.

I: To try to make them understand what's going on with a new product.

A: Basically, that's it, This is where a lot of the progress or the amenities in life which we take the granted now.., this is how they originally developed. Somebody thought of a new idea and convinced people that it was something they needed and after a period of time, it become what they considered a necessity. In other words, the advertising as a promotion will make people aware of a product, but.., the product's own worth will determine whether or not it's something that people will bring into their daily lives.

I: And... I suppose that if it endures over a long period of time, that shows that the product really does have a stable value and that you've not lying,...

A: Well, I think that's a fair assumption. I ... won't try to tell you in promoting things, people never lie, but the initial promotion simply gets people to try a product for the first time. And if the product itself has any merit, then people will continue to use it. So, the quality of a product will determine whether it has any staying power.

The interviewer believes that ______.

A．advertising can't be a kind of lying

B．advertising must be a kind of lying

听力原文： Right, let's move on to the targets for 1998 and our medium-term plans. For the AMAT, we expect to reach sales of 250,000—this is roughly the same figure as last year and it may be a little pessimistic, as we are going to do a large-scale promotion campaign during the year—so perhaps we will achieve something like 300,000. Still I prefer to keep the forecast at 250,000.

Now, we come to the BMAT. Here sales should reach 450,000. This could be a little optimistic as we are net going to push this product in 1998. In any case, the total will probably balance out with the more conservative forecast for the AM AT.

The CMAT, our most recent product, will continue to do well. Sales may go as high as 600,000. However, I have set the target slightly lower at 550,000.

OK, let's turn to our medium-term plans. At the beginning of 1998 we are going to launch our new product—the DMAT—and we are sure sales will take off very quickly. We estimate first year sales at 200,000. The DMAT should initially complement the AMAT and eventually replace it in the nineties.

Finally, R & D are working hard on a medium range product—they hope to have it ready by 1999 so we could launch it in 2000.

● Listen to the talk on import regulations.

● For each question 23--30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.

● After you have listened once, replay the recording.

For the AMAT in 1998, the Sales are expected to reach ______ .

A．200,000

B．250,000

C．600,000
