问答题Information Overload
Information overload refers to the difficulty a person has in understanding an
issue or making decisions. It can be caused by the presence of too much
information. It is now common for people to get many e-mails, reports and
incoming messages. People have to deal with these information effectively. The
advent of modern computers has created and duplicated vast amount of
information, and thus the problem of information overload appears amongst the
general population. As a result, the human mind will actually meet the
bottleneck in the process. Now hear a talk on the same
subject. The professor uses two examples to illustrate the
definition of information overload, Explain how the examples are related to the
reading passage.

问答题A Letter from a Student As a student here at William and Mary, I am embarrassed. It is one of the oldest colleges in the United States. Well, the furniture in the library looks older than the college! The chairs are all dusty with holes in the cloth covering. The tables are wobbly, with writing scribbled all over them. The ink has soaked into the wood and you can't wash it off! The school desperately needs to buy new furniture. This will afford a more comfortable and relaxing environment to library patrons. Also it might even attract more patrons: the library is a good place to study! Question: The woman expresses her opinion about the proposal to replace the old furniture in the library. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. Now hear a conversation between two students.

问答题A Two-Day Graduation Ceremony The university newspaper announced that the graduation ceremony will be split over two days. The decision is based on the following reasons: first, the number of students graduated this year has risen; therefore, the ceremony's duration will be quite long.

问答题Research has taught us a lot about job satisfaction and
the motivation of workers. First, workers are more motivated if their job offers
a sense of community. A sense of community grows when workers get recognition
for their accomplishments and when they believe their skills are being well
used. Social organization in the workplace is important. Supervisors and
co--workers have a tremendous influence on job satisfaction. When workers are
asked what they like or do not like about their job, around 80 percent will
mention the people they work with. Second, while workers value
traditional economic incentives such as pay and promotions, they also have needs
and expectations that go beyond economic concerns. Workers need a sense of
security in the workplace. Security comes from confidence in the system that
they are part of, the quality of the product or service they provide, and the
reputation of the company. Security comes from the personal satisfaction of
knowing that their skills are being utilized in a way that contributes to the
company's success. Third, the most satisfying jobs are those
with a high level of autonomy, in which employees can make their own decisions
about the pacing and sequence of work with minimal supervision. Job autonomy is
most often found in high-pay and high-prestige occupations. In jobs in the
middle or lower levels of pay and prestige, workers generally have less
autonomy. The lower the occupational status, the more heavily supervised the
workers are, and the fewer decisions they can make on their own.
Now listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin your
response. You may look at the reading passage during the writing time.
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they
support specific points made in the reading passage.
