听力原文: While radio broadcasting was still in its early stage the wonder of television was already being developed. The person responsible for developing it was John Baird. In 1926 he gave the first demonstration of a television picture.
As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more popular than any other form. A news broadcast became more immediate when people could actually see the scene in question and the movements of the figures. Films could also be available. One of the advantages of travel programs was the glimpse of far-away places which many viewers would not otherwise have seen. Though much of the entertainment was of a popular kind like quiz competitions, some remarkable cultural programs were also broadcast. Just as with radio in earlier days, a group of actors and actresses became familiar in every household. One of the most popular programs on television was sport and an interesting result of the television broadcast was the increased attendance at the actual events. How far this was due to a growth in interest in the-game and how far out of the peoples desire to appeal on the screen is not clear.

Many people, memory may be weak, because they don't use it enough. It's like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, it won't get strong. That's why it's important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life. We can do this by reading, playing memory games and seeking out new experiences. It's my guess, though, that the lack of stimulation isn't a problem for students like you. More likely, the lives you live are so busy and stimulating that this in itself may sometimes interfere with learning. Later on I will discuss how information is recalled from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that is where the real problem often lies. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively. And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wild ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in our memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely this evening.
(30)
A.Factors that affect the ability to memorize.
B.The influence of childhood memories on adulthood.
C.A proposal for future psychological research.
D.Benefits of a busy lifestyle,
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What sill I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career?"
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.A method to assist in making complex decisions.
B.A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
C.Research on how people make decisions.
D.Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.
W: Thank you, Richard. That is attributed to the increased availability of the Internet throughout the world.
M: Yon know, I'm quite interested in online learning. Can you tell me why you chose this way of studying?
W: Well, for me, the most compelling reasons for trying to get an online degree are time and money.
M: What does that mean?
W: With an online course, you can enroll in a class, do assignments on the Internet, and even communicate with classmates in chatrooms or on bulletin boards. All of these activities can be clone from the comfort of your home or laptop: any time; any place.
M: That seems very nice.
W: Yes. Besides, getting such a degree can be cheaper, because you don't have to pay associated costs related to an overseas adventure: airfare, housing, local transportation, etc.
M: Oh, that sounds quite attractive.
W: But remember: for all these benefits, there are a number of obstacles to this kind of learning.
M: Really? What are they?
W: Above all else, you have to consider how a degree from an online school will he received by future employers. In some countries, companies might feel that the academic standards of such an online institution are not as challenging or rigorous as a regular residency program.
M: Oh, I see. Does it have any other disadvantage?
W: Sure. You probably won't have face-to-face contact with other students since everything is online. Such contact is very important in learning how to deal with many aspects of non-verbal communication that aren't obvious in an on line chatroom.
M: That makes sense. Thank you for your information about getting online degrees.
W: You're welcome.
