听力原文：

M： Mr。 Brown’s lectures are so boring。

W： Yes， he is not a very exciting speaker。 But the subject is interesting。

M： During every one of his lectures， I try to listen。 I really try。 But after about 10 minutes my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration。 But I see that you seem to be OK。 How do you stay focused through the entire hour？

W： Well， what I do is keep my pen moving。

M： What do you mean？

W： It’s a method of active concentration I read about。 One of the most effective ways to concentrate is to write things down。 But it has to be done by hand， not typing on a keyboard。 You see writing by hand forces you to actually engage with what you’re learning in a more physical way。

M： Do you review your notes afterwards then？

W： Sometimes， but that’s not important。 My notes may or may not be useful but the point is that by writing down what Mr。 Brand says I can follow his line of thinking more easily。 In fact， sometimes I draw a little too。

M： You draw in class and that helps me pay attention？

W： Yes， honestly it works for me。 I just draw little lines and nonsense really。 It was also in that article I read。 It can keep the mind active， prevent getting bored and help to concentrate。 Again the point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving。 If I’m at home and I need to study what I do is read out loud。 It has a similar effect to writing by hand。 It helps memorize information in a physical way。

Question 8。 What does the man think of Mr。 Brown’s lectures？

Question 9。 What does the woman do during Mr。 Brown’s lectures？

Question 10。 Why does the woman draw in class？

解析：

本段长对话是考生比较熟悉的学校学习场景和知识点。第一题类问男生对于老师课程的观点，在首回合第一句给出答案，所听即所得。后面就是问答类型，重点听回答者，也就是本篇中的女士给出答案。由于最后两题答案在同一回合给出，比较接近，因此需要考生迅速反应，有一定难度。
