Text 10 如何打造可以激发创造力的工作环境219

W: Hello everyone. I’m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable so they can be creative. Well-designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers.So today, I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity.I hope you can find it useful. First, the colour of the office walls. Decorate your office with green. Other bright colours such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. Calmer colours help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax. Avoid red when you are choosing a colour. While it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our abili ty to analyze information. Then, let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. Too dark, and workers can feel sleepy. While, if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. The best kind of lighting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive. When it comes to artificial lighting, warm colours are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better. Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in an office so staff can find privacy if needed, but also work in open areas for creative thinking.

本段独白的主题是如何打造可以激发员工创造力的工作环境，说话者从墙面用色、照明设备和办公空间三个方面展开论述，给听者提供了一些切实可行的措施。

18. Which colour is unsuitable for office walls?

A. Green.

B. Red.

C. Yellow.

【解析】事实细节题。本题解题关键在于听懂“Avoid red when you are choosing a colour.”这句话。avoid意为“避开”，和题干中的unsuitable表达的是相同的意思，故选B。

19. What effect does natural light have on office workers?

A. It is good for their eyes.

B. It helps them concentrate.

C. It makes them feel cheerful.

【解析】事实细节题。根据原文中“The best kind of li ghting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive.”可知，自然光可以让办公室职员更快乐、更多产，故选C。

【点拨】happy同义转述为cheerful。

20. Who are most likely to be interested in the talk?

A. Managers.

B. Painters.

C. Teachers.

【解析】推理判断题。本段独白向听众传达了如何打造更好的办公环境激发员工的创造力，由此可推知，职场中的管理人员对这一话题更感兴趣，他们可以从中发现一些有价值的东西，故选A。

【重点词句】

remind sb. of sth. 使想起（类似的事物）

when it comes to… : 谈到……; 至于…… 通常用来引出下文的话题

artificial lighting: 人工照明

a variety of: 许多

Well-designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers.

设计精良的工作场所通常会创造一种能促使员工更好地去思考的氛围。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 4

中级口译听力教程第三版2A An intermediate course of English listening. Third edition. Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors. 2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk. W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked. 2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below. The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families. Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear. 1. Since you said you totally agreed with Tom’s views, you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

历年高口NTGF原文真题

2014年3月高级口译听力真题NTGF含解析 Note Taking and Gap Filling Good afternoon, class. I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela, who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss! Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young, single people for good luck. However, from Consuela’s point of view, he was an older man giving her money in an envelope, which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally, she refused to take the money. Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today, I’m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts. OK, let’s start with greeting customs—First of all, I’m sure you know that in the United States and in most western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countries don’t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between business people are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand, normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone’s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host! Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans ar e quick to use people’s first names even if they have just met. For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as Mr. Brown or Mr. Honda, for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title or

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 8

Unit eight. Part one. New dwellings in Great Britain. 3. Exercises. 1. Listen to the following passage about housing in Britain, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear. In all 189,000 new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006, a rise of 3.6 percent on 2005. Growth in owner occupation has been particularly marked increasing from 50 percent in 1991 to 67 percent at the end of 2006. Both the public and the private sectors build housing, but about four fifths in new dwellings are built by the private sector for sale to owner occupiers. Local authorities are encouraged to see their housing role as in the neighboring one. Working with housing associations and the private sector to increase the supply of low cost housing for sale or rent. Without necessarily providing it themselves.

中级口译听力原文

中口0503听力原文 0503 SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST Part A: Spot Dictation As crime Skyrockets in many communities, people are finally beginning to look for long-lasting, effective answers to stem the tide of juvenile crime. Reaching the youth who have committed a crime before they become hardened criminals is an essential step in reversing the crime trend. One possible solution may be the establishment of teen court. Teen court is known as a sentencing court for youths who have committed an offence. Teen courts primarily deal with first-time offenders. After arrest, the young offender must plead guilty to the charge in juvenile court. With the juvenile court’s permission, the offender agrees to be sentenced and abide by the decision of a peer jury of the same age. Another essential component to teen court is that as part of the sentence, the offender must sit in on one or more future peer juries to determine a sentence for other offenders. For example, a county teen court in Illinois gives young offenders a chance to clear their arrests from their permanent record by performing community service or other duties ordered by the court. Teen court is not a trial court. All teens admit their guilt and agree to accept a sentence given to them by a jury of their peers. A judge is present to oversee the proceeding of the court. The teen court alleviates the strain on the regular court system and has been implemented in 426 communities since the first teen court opened in Odessa, Texas. Beside giving the offender a second chance, it gives the youth a chance to participate in the judicial process. The purpose of the teen court, aside from sentencing youth offenders, is to educate and motivate both the offenders and the teen volunteers while simultaneously promoting better communication between defendants, the community, and the police. By offering this alternative system, teen court allows those teens who have made a bad decision an opportunity to recognize their mistake and learn from it. At the same time those teens learn a respect for themselves, the police, the community, and the legal system. Part B: Listening Comprehension 1. Statements 1.
