Unit 9 Listening Part 1 Exercise 4.
2
3. You hear a psychologist in the UK talking about intelligence.
3
Beep.
4
Psychology is quite a young science,
5
which means psychologists haven't had time to measure how or whether our minds are evolving or whether in fact we're getting cleverer.
6
It's hard to prove that our intelligence is actually increasing,
7
even if young people nowadays tend to get higher marks in intelligence tests than they did 50 or 60 years ago.
8
more practice in tests of this type.
9
At the same time, many people think that while exam results have been improving across the country,
10
that's because the exams themselves aren't as demanding as they used to be.
11
Beep.

It's hard to prove that our intelligence is actually increasing,
15
even if young people nowadays tend to get higher marks in intelligence tests than they did 50 or 60 years ago.
16
There are a variety of factors which could have an impact on this: better diets, our minds are stimulated more,
17
or just getting more practice in tests of this type.
18
At the same time, many people think that while exam results have been improving across the country,
19
that's because the exams themselves aren't as demanding as they used to be.

Who wouldn't be after all those mid -year tests we've been doing?
29
Yeah, I've been up studying most nights.

So sorry if I hadn't been all that friendly.

Anyway, you weren't irritable with me, so I don't mind.
33
Look, can we meet up some day next week instead of tomorrow?

'Cause my mum's just told me I've got a dentist appointment.
35

36

Oh yes, I mean, I just won't go in them.
67
So I sometimes arrive at places a bit breathless.

I bet.
69
I think I must have got the problem when I got trapped in one as a kid.
70
I can't have been there for more than 10 minutes, but I was trembling when I came out.
71
It's totally irrational, because we all know that they're completely safe.
72
I suppose it's like planes.

I mean, they terrify lots of people, though statistically they're very safe.

Well, see you upstairs then.

93
It's terrifying because I fall for some time, but then suddenly I wake up.
94
Wow, that's weird.
95
Do you think it means anything?
96
Well, the interpretation I've read is that it's some sort of fear of failure.
97
You know, there are all sorts of interpretations for other dreams.
98
For example, that you could find something subconsciously threatening and your dream might be sort of pointing that out to you.

Yes, she looks pretty stressed out and I guess it's been giving her bad nights.
114
What's the problem, do you know?
115
Is it to do with her exams or something?
116
Well, she had a maths exam last week, so she must have studied hard for it.
117
But she's always been pretty hard -working, so she can't have got stressed by that.

Lucky her.

8. You hear a boy and a girl talking about the boys' free time activities.
140
Beep.
141
I read this thing on the internet that says your free time activities say lots about you.
142
If you like sport, you probably like being with other people.
143
On the other hand, I'm someone who prefers doing things on his own, like playing computer games, and that probably shows the opposite, you know, that I'd rather be by myself.
144
And you don't feel so comfortable with other people, you mean?
145
Hmm, could be.
146
Then again, people who enjoy travelling are often people who like taking risks, doing new things, if you see what I mean.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
