【正确答案】topic In the lecture, the professor gives two examples on how people choose their careers. example 1 We call the first type maximizers. These kind of people would like to choose the best option after they have evaluated many options one by one in the job Searching. For example, it's natural that a man wants to be a journalist because he is good at writing articles. There are so many kinds of jobs related to writing such as newspaper, magazines, novels and so on. And he tries each one to gather experiences in the field he interests. So after some time, he has prepared well to be a journalist and he pursues such job without any hesitance. example 2 The second type is satisfiers. They make choice only for their basic needs. For example, the only will for a student who majors in law is to be a lawyer with munificent salary after he graduates from school. So as he finds such job, he would never bother to search another one.

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: When it comes to choice making, the psychology of a choice usually separates people into these two categories: the maximizer and the satisfier. The maximizer refers to those who find as many options as possible and then make a choice among those options as to which is the best one; while the satisfier represents those making a choice based upon fulfillment of basic needs. Let us look at two graduating students as our example. The first student, a maximizer, is good at writing and wants to become a journalist. This aspiration for being a journalist makes the student try all kinds of jobs related to his field of interest such as the local newspaper, magazine etc. He has his career in mind and will make decisions carefully about the job that perfectly fits to him. Finally, he makes a decision of his career based on his former experience in different media organizations. He believes that the job will help him further his ultimate goal of becoming a journalist. On the contrary, the satisfier is quite different. Let's see a law student who has just finished sending his resumes out to some law companies. His main goal is to become a lawyer with high salary, thus satisfying his basic needs such as food, housing and clothing. Then he receives a job offer from one of those law companies, and the salary is even above his expectation. The satisfier feels he is lucky. He has satisfied his needs and does not spend time to search for other jobs.
