As you listen, answer Questions 1 to 10 by circling TRUE or FALSE.锛堝垎鏁帮細30.00锛?/div>(1).Quantum will still be on air as the last programs of it are still in the making and are to be shown as scheduled.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛歔鍚姏鍘熸枃] W: We have the news this morning that Quantum will no longer be seen on television on ABC television. Can you tell us the official reason? M: Quantum will be seen on ABC television next year. The remaining programs in the series will go to air and are still being made in fact. I think the series will continue until about May, so I'd like to think that viewers will continue to watch it until that point rather than thinking it's unfair. Quantum has been around now for about 16 years. It's presented itself in various guises over the years. It's been a magazine program. It's been a documentary program. It had more reinventions than most television programs could ever imagine. But there comes a timein any program's life when it has reached its use-by date. And my feeling and the feeling of others with an ABC science is that it could well be the title of the program Quantum. That's holding back more innovative and relevant science programing on ABC television. We are going to rest for a while as a title and hopefully build up some new and more exciting and more dynamic style of science television programing in its place. W: Will it be out-sourced? M: I mean this is a bit of nonsense. That's going around at the moment. ABC television makes science programs in-house. We also commission programs from independent producers. The program that we will follow Quantum at its timeslot is a series on stress. I think it's asix-part series, which was part of our contestable process. We have an opportunity for both independence and in-house producers to bid for those contestable programs. It's part of our transparent process of program choice so that there is fairness. That program was selected by the former commissioning editor and I can only imagine it was because it was the best program that was submitted. We were also in the process of developing and negotiating some quite significant output deals and output deal means that we would make programs for other distribution agencies as well as ourselves. W: What will happen to the in-house people? M: We are hoping there will be more in-house production rather than less. Really what we have to do is we can't continue to make Quantum and spend most of our budget on Quantum and still make new and more exciting programs. I mean we need to redirect that money and reallocate those funds so that we can freshen up the science late for ABC. I mean we are absolutely committed to science programing on ABC television. W: Will there be any jobs lost from Quantum production union? M: We were hoping to get up some news programs in the near future so some of those people may be able to be redeployed. There are some very talented staffthat we would like to talk to about moving into the development unit. W: Listeners wonder if we can be sure that an out-sourced science program will be completely accurate and unbiased or not have any sort of input from a corporate source in any way. M: We have very strong editorial policies and guidelines that are to be followed. Any program that's made by independent producer outside of ABC is matched by an ABC executive producer who is there to represent those policy issues. W: So ABC's commitment to science is not diminished. M: Not only it is not diminished, it's actually stronger. That's where we would like to think we are heading. The managing director has attempted to get more government funding so that we can actually achieve that.(2).Quantum has been presented in many different forms for the past 16 years.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).Quantum is losing its appeal because the content is out of date.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).Jarvis revealed what ABC plans to do with the timeslot of Quantum.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).Science programs shown on ABC TV are made by ABC production teams, not independent producers.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘B.閿欒鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(6).ABC programs are made also for other TV organizations through distributors.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(7).ABC will reserve the fund for Quantum in order to make quality science programs.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘B.閿欒鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(8).Some members will be transferred to current news programs.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘B.閿欒鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(9).An ABC executive producer will work with independent producers to ensure that guidelines are followed.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(10).ABC will try to get more government support to enhance its commitment to science.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.姝ｇ‘鈭?/span>B.閿欒瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>涓夈€亄{B}}Part B{{/B}}(鎬婚鏁帮細3锛屽垎鏁帮細30.00)You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.

M: Being a naturalist is the only thing I've ever been interested in. I started out collecting birds' eggs, keeping snakes and other creatures, but it wasn't until I went to university in the early 1950s that I discovered I can turn a boyhood pastime into a profession. I spent long months out with graduate students learning and just being in the wilderness. That was wonderful! So I stayed with it. W: Have you ever felt threatened or frightened by an animal? M: Fear is mostly in retrospect. If you do something carelesslylike getting too close to a tiger or a bear and frightening the animals, so it becomes aggressive. You respond in the best possible way and you know that in most instances, the animal gives you the benefit of the doubt. It's only afterwards that you shake your head and say how stupid you were. W: Your efforts have helped gain protection for many wildlife reserves across the world. How have you managed that? M: Natural history is the basis of all conservation because you need knowledge. I go out and collect information on wildlife, the people, the condition of the habitat and I give it to the government department concerned and make suggestions. Then I try to follow up. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. One of the real mistakes in the conservation movement in the last few years is the tendency to see nature simply as natural resources. Use it or lose it. Yet conservation without moral values can't sustain itself unless we reach people through beauty, ethics, spiritual values or whatever. We are not going to keep our wilderness areas.(2).When does Mr Schaller feel scared of wild animals?• A. When the contact is not well-planned.• B. When the animals are irritated.• C.

Serkis does a more realistic portrayal of the gorilla.• B. Kong is humanized in Serkis' version.• C. The original version was based on the observations of gorillas.• D. The original version was a Disney product.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A. 鈭?/span>B.C.D.瑙ｆ瀽锛歔鍚姏鍘熸枃] W: Welcome to our show, Andy. You know the audience is interested in comparing the two versions of King Kong. The original King Kong didn't exactly take a scientific approach to portraying gorilla behavior. Why go to such lengths to get it right this time? M: I don't think the film makers in 1933 were out to understand gorillas. In a sense, Kong was just a monster to them. The difference is that our film is not really a monster movie. Early on we decided we did not want a Disney-filed-humanized version of Kong. My job as an actor was to observe as much as I could and bring those observations to the character. W: What did the original get wrong? M: In the 1933 version, Kong walks around on two feet beating his chest with clenched fists. Actually, gorillas walk on their knuckles and feet and cup their hands to beat their chests when they are angry. Also, in the original, Kong goes around chewing people's heads off. Now we know that gorillas' diet is vegetation. W: So the new Kong is a vegan wimp? M: Not quite. Gorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened. W: What makes gorilla watch such a profound experience? M: There is something about seeing this totally peaceful society that has its own order and seems to workperfectly were it not for interference from humans. It's like sitting around with a chilled-out load of hippies. They'll just have something to eat and then crash out for a bit and then have a little walk. You're supposed to keep a seven-meter exclusion zone so that they don't catch diseases. But gorillas go wherever they want, so they go all around you. It's absolutely thrilling.(2).What mistake did Serkis find in the original version?• A. Kong does not eat humans.• B. Kong walks on his feet and knuckles.• C. Kong beats his chest with fists.• D. Kong lives on plants.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.B.C. 鈭?/span>D.瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).How does Serkis feel about his observation of gorillas?• A. Excited.• B. Terrified.• C. Nervous.• D.

Variety in retail offering.• D. New and young customers.锛堝垎鏁帮細3.00锛?/div>A.B.C. 鈭?/span>D.瑙ｆ瀽锛歔鍚姏鍘熸枃] W: Canadians love to shop. Yet there seems to be a growing gap between what consumers are looking for and what the retailers are delivering. How are Canadian retailers meeting consumers' expectations? M: Recent surveys show that consumers are somewhat disappointed with retail offerings in North America not just in Canada. Thereis too much sameness in product offering and shopping experience. The new customer who is 25 or younger has grown up with a laptop at school, high speed Internet and gaming. They expectto be able to seamlessly shop multi-channel in store, on the web, over the phone. Right now, those channels are really isolated. They are not connected as well as they could be. Some retailers are rising to the challenge and some are being left behind. W: If a retailer is following behind, what's the first thing it should do to catch up? M: Sort out what type of retailer to be. Retailers have two options in the market place, either they have to be extremely efficient and focus on price or they have to offer a fantastic customer experience that specialized to the customers' needs. The middle is no place to be. W: Customers get frustrated when they revisit a store and nobody knows them. How can they get more recognition? M: There is a new way of retail programs that emphasize customers' centricity. That's where you, as a consumer, provide your personal profile to a retailer, and they useit to help you. At a clothing store, for instance, a sales person would access your whole purchase history and color preferences on a hand held device. Your experience builds on your previous purchase. Consumers want more personalized help. They want to know they are buying exactly what they need. Is this the freshest product? Is it the most current fashion? More and more building loyalty has less to do with giving out rewards and more to do with the experience.(2).What do young customers expect the shopping channels to be like?• A. Multiplied.• B.

Do designers tend to forget that? M: Well, it is often forgotten. Not just designers but engineers, and I think the stories in the book tend to speak to that point鈥攎ake examples of instances in which engineers or designers didn't incorporate human factors into the design of the system or the product. W: As technology becomes more sophisticated, do you think human error is actually increasing or it's just becoming more noticeable? M: I think it's probably a case of both. The systems are more complex, and it's also more noticeable because as things become more sophisticated, one individual has so much more power to disrupt the system鈥攚hether it's a nuclear power plant or an aircraft with 555 people on board. The opportunities for amplifying the consequences of error are increasing all the time. W: Instead of user error, you prefer the term "design-induced error". Is it ever appropriate to blame the user? M: I use the term as it's commonly used in this field, "design-induced error", and the stories that I've selected for the book really focus on the user interface. I've tried to select stories where there is a deficiency in the system or the actual interface that the operator uses could have been done better. W: I ask because in several of the stories, it seems there were adequate procedures in place, but the users just decided not to follow them. M: That is true. In the lead story, for example, "The Atomic Chef", there were procedures in place. There was a very expensive and elaborate system for making the uranium fuel for this breeder reactor, but the three operators, along with their supervisors, did make the decision simply not to use the system that had been put into place to avoid exactly the kind of accidentthat happened. In 1999, two workers were killed at Japan's JCO Nuclear Fuel Processing Facility when a solution they were mixing reached nuclear criticality. But again, I thinkit's a good example of a systemic problem within an organization. The whole social aspect of that setting was as important as, say, a one-on-one operator interface, and these issues, I think will become increasingly important in the future. W: You run your own human-factors research and design firm. Do clients generally call you before or after something goes wrong? M: Most of the time it's before. Occasionally I do get involved in something where there has been a problem, or the client is aware of a problem, or of ten times they'll know that, say, a competitor's product does a better job in this regard in terms of its ease ofuse, for example. So it's both, really. W: Do you see patterns in the issues they are facing? M: Most of my work is with vehicles of one kind or another, whether they are automobiles or aircraft or agricultural or construction machines, so the types of thingsthat I deal with are surprisingly consistent from one machine to the next. I do tend to see similar issues as technologies migrate from one class of vehicle to another鈥攆or example, GPS systems migrating from cars into farm equipment, and so forth, so I see similar types of issues. W: What's the answer in all these? Should designers be involved in real users in their work? M: Absolutely. There is no question about that. And they should also involve human-factor experts. And I don't think there is any question that designers in general are increasingly using users and seeking user input in the design of products and systems. W: Can we ever expect to eliminate human error entirely? M: No, and it wouldn't be expected, but what we can do, knowing what we do know about human behavior and people's expectations and their talents and their deficiencies, is strive to minimize the likelihood of operator error. W: One last question: Did these sorts of errors ever happen to you? M: Oh, no, I'm perfect. Ha... Sure, I have trouble operating my VCR just like everybody else. So, yes, they do happen to me, and I'm probably as intolerant as most people in terms of experiencing frustrations with devices that should be, and could be, a lot easier to use.(2).The more sophisticated a system is, the easier it is for people to ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細disrupt the system锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).When talking about human errors, what term does Casey prefer to use?锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細Design-induced error.锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).In his book, the stories he selected concern systems that could have been ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細done better锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).In one example, why did the operators and supervisors decide not to use the system?锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細To avoid accident.锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(6).Either before or after something goes wrong, Casey will receive a call from ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細the clients锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(7).In his opinion, regardless of the types of machinery, either aircraft or agricultural equipment, the issues are ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細similar锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(8).In Casey's opinion, designers should also involve human-factor experts in their work in addition to ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細real users锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(9).According to Casey, the likelihood of human error can be ______.锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div>濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細minimized锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(10).How does Casey feel when he has trouble operating a machine?锛堝垎鏁帮細4.00锛?/div> 濉┖椤?:__________________ 锛堟纭瓟妗堬細Intolerant.锛?/div>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>。

Passage II:Every country in the world celebrates New Year but not everyone does it on the same day. The countries of North and South America and Europe welcome the New Year on January 1.

The Spring Festival usually comes between January 21 and February 19.

In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!" In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. In some countries, a young womanmay receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely! Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off. Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have. If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.1.

Why do I isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man? I am no longer working as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. I want to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world. W: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find your stay here very rewarding.(2).Why did Dr. Eric come to settle down in a village in the Himalayas?• A. It is in the plain.• B.
