M:I don't think there's a specific rule about how to beat stress.I generally find that what I do is effective for me.
W:Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
M:I have considered leaving my job due to stress related factors.However,I do think that an element of stress is a good thing,and if used the right way,can actually be a positive thing.
W:What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?

M: Ah,you may not realize you're working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different.They sometimes don't understand each other at all.
M: I agree.Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking.Last weekend,John and I went to a ball game.When we're at the game,We talked about the players and what's going on in the game and nothing else.I think women wouldn't do that.

M: When a woman talks With a man,she'll often feel as though he wasn't really listening or that he wasn't really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah,that sounds very familiar to me.
M:And I think a mall doesn't understand What the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders “what's her point?”,“where's this conversation going?”
M:To speak from experience,for a man,talking is generally more straightforward—it's about giving and getting facts.Men generally don't base their friendships on talking,but on doing—getting together with buddies,playing sports or hanging out.

W: I had nothing about the structure of crystal before I have just learned in our science class. I always thought there was crystal in glass.
M: Well, real crystal is generally a hard substance in which the atoms are arranged in a highly ordered structure much like the framework of a skyscraper.
W: Does that mean in ordinary glass the molecules are not ordered?
M: That's right, but most of the glass made here is actually lead crystal or glass with a high lead content.
W: Lead? Isn' t lead poisonous?
M: What it does is to make a very good quality glass. You will see several samples of glass on the tour. If everyone is ready now, please follow me.
W: I am supposed to hand in a paper in this aspect after the tour.

M: (23) Genes and environment work together to shape who we are. As the environment includes everything we experience and come into contact with from birth through to death, it also plays an extremely complex role.
W: What is gene, then?
M: Even scientists disagree on exactly how to define a gene. Generally, a gene is a sequence of DNA that tells us what a single protein does. Proteins do the work of the body, building structure and stimulating biochemical reactions.
W: (24)How genetically similar are we to one another?
M: Individual humans are extremely similar to each other. They share 99.9 percent of their DNA no matter which race they belong to.
W: How genetically similar are we to other species?
M: Scientists have been amazed at how genetically similar humans are to other species. Humans share 80 percent of their genes with mice, about 99 percent of DNA with chimpanzees. That means that chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to other animals, such as monkeys, whales or cats.
W: (25)Will genes lead to a cure for cancer and other serious disease?
M: Of course! Virtually every disease has genetic cause. Some are simple misspellings that can be corrected with gene therapy, although this technology is still in its infancy. Scientists will gain more knowledge about genes, and they will develop new treatments based on that knowledge. The outlook is especially good over the next few decades for some cancers and other disease.

听力原文:M: Is this table in the corner okay?
W: Sure. We can sit here.
M: Gee. You' ve hardly got anything on your tray.
W: Yeah. I guess I' m just not that hungry.
M: What' s the matter? Aren't you feeling well?
W: Well, I've been really worried. It' s my car. It' s in the shop again.
M: Really? What' s wrong this time?
W: I don' t know exactly. Something is wrong with the brakes, I think.
M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W: He said he would call me with an estimate later on today.
M: Watch out, he doesn't try to take advantage of you.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, Some car mechanics. If they think that someone doesn' t know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.
W: Maybe so. But I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.
M: Oh, that' s good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?

听力原文:M: Hello, Prof. Dianna, you wanted to see me?
W: Oh, yes, Frank. Thanks for coming. It's about your work as a teaching assistant. I've just read your evaluations, the ones the students filled out toward the end of the semester.
M: Yes... ? Well, how were they?
W: Would you like to take a look? Out of a possible score of five, you got a four-point-eight. That's very high, Frank.
M: Well, what a pleasant surprise.
W: When we see such a high score, we generally try to keep the Teaching Assistant on a little longer and perhaps even ask them to cover more classes. What do you say, Frank? Would you like this?
M: I sure would, but I don't know if I can. Next fall will be my last semester of coursework for my master's and I'll be very busy doing re search on my thesis. Could I have a few days to think about it?
W: Certainly, I wouldn't want you to fall behind in your course-work, but I do think you should consider getting more experience in the class- room. You seem to have a real gift.
M: Thanks for your praise, Professor.
W: Let me know by the beginning of next week, will you?
M: Sure thing. I'll drop by again on Monday or Tuesday.
