[00:00.88]Conversation One

[00:02.74]M: Hi,Mary. Do you want to start writing a lab report

[00:07.78]after we finish this experiment?

[00:09.63]W: I can't. In fact I need to finish early

[00:12.81]because I'm going over to the psychology department

[00:15.54]to talk to Professor Smith about a job opening.

[00:19.04]M: You mean a job on campus?

[00:20.91]W: Yeah.And it sounds pretty interesting.

[00:23.20]It involves helping with her study on learning style.

[00:26.59]M: Yeah.I know that's her area of expertise.

[00:30.64]W: Right.Anyway for her study

[00:34.03]she's taking some high school students

[00:36.01]who aren't doing very well in their classes

[00:38.30]and testing them to find out what their learning styles are.

[00:41.58]Then tutors,people like me,

[00:44.21]will work with them presenting material

[00:47.06]to them in their particular learning style.

[00:49.46]M: Are you getting paid for this?

[00:52.09]W: I'm sure we'll get something,though probably not much.

[00:55.48]Anyway it doesn't matter to me,

[00:57.78]I just want to get some handson experience.

[01:00.84]M: Yeah. And it'll be nice to help those high school students too.

[01:04.89]W: That's what I thought when I saw the ad.

[01:07.41]You know you could do it too.

[01:09.37]You don't have to be in her classes to work on the study.

[01:12.66]M: Really? Do you have any idea what the schedule is like?

[01:16.49]W: Late afternoon then evening for tutoring I think.

[01:20.75]After all, the kids are in regular classes until three thirty.

[01:24.92]M: Actually that's perfect for me.

[01:27.32]W: Then come along. We will save the lab report for later.

[01:31.03]But we'd better make sure

[01:32.57]we do a good job on our experiment first.

[01:34.99]M: Yeah.First things first.

[01:37.18]Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[01:46.75]1. Why is the woman interested in working with Professor Smith?

[02:07.91]2. What will the college students do for the high school students?

[02:25.99]3. What will the speakers probably do next?

[02:48.31]Conversation Two

[02:50.87]W: What started you in computers?

[02:54.36]M: I built my first computer when I was in Junior High School.

[02:57.97]I was an enthusiastic reader,

[03:00.37]I studied everything I could get my hands on.

[03:02.74]Then I turned to building my own machine.

[03:05.58]From that point on, I was hooked.

[03:08.32]W: Where do you see computers as going in the future?

[03:11.60]M: This will be the era of distributed devices,

[03:14.34]some of which will be in your walls,

[03:17.18]some of which you will wear,

[03:19.48]some of which will be in your cars and throughout your house,

[03:23.30]and maybe one of which will be on your desk.

[03:27.02]Devices with processors in them will be everywhere,

[03:30.31]they will be connected,

[03:31.84]and they will look less like traditional PCs.

[03:35.23]W: What kind of computer do you have now?

[03:37.42]M: My primary machine is a heavily loaded PowerMac,

[03:41.57]which I use to write all my books and to do video editing.

[03:45.18]I've also got a Toshiba notebook

[03:47.27]which I use for all my work at the company and for email.

[03:50.65]W: There are critics who say

[03:52.62]that technology is dangerous and is moving too fast.

[03:55.91]What's your reaction?

[03:57.44]M: There is criticism voiced in every generation.

[04:00.83]One can't stop this kind of progress,

[04:03.46]so the critics you cite above are cursing the dark.

[04:06.96]That being said, it's important

[04:09.60]to always consider the implications of the technology we create,

[04:13.10]for they have social impact.

[04:17.31]Questions 4 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[04:22.78]4. What happened after the man built his first computer?

[04:42.69]5. What does the man see the future of computers?

[05:02.74]6. What does the man say about the criticism of technology?

[05:24.84]7. What kind of computer is the man using?
