Task1：

　　Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of letting students evaluate their professor at the end of the semester.

　　While I think it’s good that students are given a chance to evaluate their teachers at the end of the year, for the most part I think there are a lot of consequences to this system of professor evaluation. To begin with, I’m not sure how much influence student evaluations have on the teacher’s overall performance rating. There is one physics teacher in my school who can easily be called the worst teacher in the school. Lots of students have complained about her, but nothing seems to have changed. I think it’s because she’s been working at our school for a long time. I also think students tend to be unfair when it comes to student evaluations. I’ve had classmates who have received low grades for incomplete work and then given their teachers poor evaluations.

　　Task2：

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Gifts that people make themselves are more meaningful than those bought in a store.

　　[same as task 2 for 2010.10.30NA]

　　I prefer to give hand-made gifts. First of all, taking the time to make something special and unique is a nice way to show somebody you care. Gift giving can be so materialistic sometimes. Making your own gift is a nice way to rise above the commercialism that surrounds holidays like Christmas, and still show somebody that you think they are important. When I was younger, my family did not have that much money. My classmates would get lots of fancy new clothes and toys for Christmas, but my parents couldn’t afford to get us that many gifts. Instead my dad would spend hours creating puzzles and riddles for us to solve. After we solved them all, we would be able to guess what our one special gift was. Those gifts were always my favorite.

　　Task3:

　　学校要办一个clean-up in campus的活动，号召大家大扫除，让同学们意识到保持学校整洁的重要性，clean-up 结束之后会举办一个party。

　　男同学同意：

　　1、 看到你的同学在捡垃圾，你在扔垃圾的时候就会think twice，这样有助于促进学生care校园环境

　　2、 办party可以have fun，这样可以attracts more students 做志愿者，还可以socialize, 提供小吃，enjoy the music。

　　Task4:

　　短时记忆的问题。教授有2个例子，第一，别人告诉你一个电话，你两个小时之后就忘了，证明了短时记忆你没用，你就忘记的很快。第二个例子，教授自己的经验，要去买书，记好了书名，过来一个朋友和教授聊书，之后教授就只记得和朋友说的书名，把自己要买的书给忘记了。说明了短时记忆会因为其他的信息进入而受到干扰。

　　英文版：

　　Short-term memory: a temporary storage of information. 两个特征：decay (not being used) 和interference (new information).

　　For example, you are out with your classmate and you want to dial someone’s cell phone’s number which you don’t know. So you ask you classmate and call your friend. But after two hours when your friend are not with you, since the number has been used after that, you couldn’t remember and recall the number again because it has fade away. That’s decay.

　　The professor uses his own experience to illustrate interference. He went to the bookstore and made a list of the books he wanted, but he forgot to take it with him and left it in his car, but he thought he could remind himself of the books listed. However, when he ran into his friend in the bookstore and talked for a while, all he could remember is the booked his friend mentioned that were quite interesting. The new information interfered with the original one. That’s interference.

　　Task5:

　　一个人的朋友把他的数学书弄湿了，看不了了，但是考试又急用。

　　两个方案：一，让朋友赔一本一样的,但是并不是朋友的错，会伤及朋友关系。二，去图书馆看，但是只能在图书馆借阅，而且可能会被别人先借走。

　　英文版：

　　In the conversation, the man has a problem. He lent his mathematic book to his friend Ted, but the book got ruined, all soaked out when left outside.

　　There are two possible solutions. The first one is to ask Ted to buy a new copy for him. The second one is to use the copy in the library as the professor put the material on reserved for them

　　Task6：

　　一个教授讲动物间的social interaction。说他们whether they know他们之间有interaction? 虽然都生活在大的group里面，但是程度不一样。

　　举了两个例子：

　　1阐述的是：complex social interaction，成员之间有strong bond。例子：大象Elephants：一个member is sick or gets injured，其它成员会take care of it，甚至帮助它寻找食物。

　　2阐述的是simple social interaction。虽然group大，但是interaction少，它们之间没有strong bond。例子：fishes 会protect(文中不是这个词)from predators， 但是其实他们是不能recognize的，他们甚至不能distinguish each other。 意思是说：鱼们不能感知他们间有interaction，甚至他们都不知道原来大家都是species鱼。
