Summarize Spoken Text


 本周新增:

130001.Books 书籍(珀斯考生回忆)
Why should we read the Republic? I met lots of students asked this question to themselves when they’re
given it as a set of books at the beginning of their university course. But in fact, there are many good reasons
to read the republic. And the first one I would pick on is just that it is immensely readable. It’s not Plato did
not write philosophy like a dry textbook. He wrote it like a living conversation. The whole of the Republic
which is a fairly fat book is a living conversation written in short almost soundbite type answers, but
nevertheless, developing some very very important ideas. So, my first answer then we should read the
Republic just because it is readable. It is readable it was written by a genius and it’s worth reading. It’s easy
to read. It’s not difficult. But then there's also obviously the thoughts, the content of the book and he's asking
this absolutely fundamental question "why should we bother to be good?" "what's in it for us effectively?". It
seems when we look at the world, it looks as though injustice pays. It looks as though crime pays whereas
the good people get trodden down. So, Plato addresses this absolutely fundamental question "why should we
be good". I’m not going to tell you his answer. Read the book.

You've got sound receptors in your ear, and they are beautiful. We're not going to talk about them at any
length, but there's little flappy, these little spiky things going along in your ear and they can translate
vibrational energy coming from your ear, hurting your eardrum, being translated into a vibration into the
fluid in your ear into a physical motion of these little receptors there into an electrical motion, into an
electrical signal that goes into your ear. So, all of that, all of that's pretty impressive stuff. We are not going
to talk about the details of it, but I invite some of you who want to learn more about this, particularly MIT
students who would find receptors quite remarkable kinds of devices.

130004.The Secret Life of Bees (Female novelist) 蜜蜂的秘密(女性小说家)


(100% confirmated)

腾讯视频讲解(按住 Ctrl 点击)


I have been writing non-fiction for years, and secretly wanting to be a novelist. When I first started writing
at the age of 30, it was with the intention of writing fiction, but I took a little detour for 10 or 12 years, and
write non-fiction which I absolutely have no regret about at all. I think it’s exactly the right thing for me to
do. But there’s this dream tucked away inside of me to do this. Now I was remembering reading something
that wrote, who is a great novelist from Mississippi who had a big influence on me actually. She said, "No
art ever came out of not risking your neck." And I think she’s absolutely right. It felt that way to me at the
time; it actually feels that way every time I sit down to write something. Finally, in the early 90s, I took my
deep breath and started writing fiction. It felt risky to me at the time to do that. And one of the very first
things I wrote was, what I thought was going to be the first chapter of a novel, called "The Secret Life of
Bees." I wrote it in 1992, and it is actually essentially the first chapter of the novel as it is now.

130012.Drug Ads 药物广告 (100% confirmated)


Youtube 视频讲解(按住 Ctrl 点击)

腾讯视频讲解(按住 Ctrl 点击)


The amount of money drug companies spend on TV ads has doubled in recent years. Studies show they
work: Consumers go to their doctor with a suggestion for a certain prescription drug they saw advertised on
TV. Now a study in the Annals of Family Medicine raises questions about the message the ads promote.

You’re most likely to see drug ads during prime time, especially around the news. Researchers analyzed 38
ads aimed at people with conditions like hypertension, herpes, high cholesterol, depression, arthritis and
allergies.

The drug industry says the ads arm consumers with information. Researchers found that the information was
technically accurate, but the tone was misleading.

"Typically, what we would see with these ads is that before taking a particular prescription drug, the
character’s life is out of control and the loss of control extended beyond the impact of their health
condition," says UCLA psychologist Dominick Frosch, who headed the study.

For example, herpes patients were portrayed as being incapacitated for days. Insomniacs were utterly out of
synch on the job. Depressed patients were friendless and boring at parties.

"When the character is then shown taking the drug, he then magically regains complete control of his life,"
Frosch notes.

None of the ads mentioned lifestyle changes that could also help treat the condition. That’s not surprising,
given that the ads are just another form of mass marketing.

But prescription medicines are not soap.

130013.Industrial revolution Version 1 工业革命 版本一


France, one thought that they were called them "retarded", a word that was used, unfortunately, at that time.
And then one tried to see why not. Now, that analysis has been really rejected greatly over the past years,
because Industrial Revolution is measured by more than simply large factories with industrial workers and
the number of machines. This is the point of the beginning of this. The more that we look at the Industrial
Revolution, the more that we see that the Industrial Revolution was first and foremost an intensification of
forms of production, of kinds of production that were already there. And thus, we spend more time looking
at, you know, the intensification of artisanal production, craft production, of domestic industry, which we've
already mentioned, that is people mostly women but also men and children, too, working in the countryside.
The rapid rise of industrial production was very much tied to traditional forms of production. In Paris, for
example, in 1871, alright, 1870, the average unit of production had only slightly more than seven people in it.

Far too many people often say things like “animals do this, but we don’t.” or “this animal does this, and that
animal does this, but the humans don’t do things like that”. Those statements have some hidden assumptions
that we are not animals. When we say animals do this animals do that, we often assume that we are not
animals. If we are not animals, what are we? Are we plants, or trees, or flowers? No, we are not. Then OK
we are not plants. then are we micro-organisms, really tiny micro scroppy things? No, we are not. Then the
natural conclusion must be we are not living things. That’s not true. Yes, we are animals. And I see animals

Last month I published alongside my annual report a subject report on the development of citizenship in
schools. The report celebrates the success of some schools in implementing the citizenship curriculum. It
praises those schools where they have taken and have substantial developments in the subject, and which
now go a long way towards fulfilling national curriculum requirements. In the report, we are critical of
schools which have not taken citizenship seriously, either through reluctance or lack of capacity to make
appropriate provision in the curriculum. Citizenship is marginalized in the curriculum. And in one fifth of

schools, it is less well established in the curriculum than other subjects, and less well taught. And some
critics have seized on this as a reason for wanting to step back from supporting it.

Yet, the progress made to date by the more committed school suggests that the reasons for introducing
citizenship are both worthwhile and can be fulfilled, given the time and resources. Indeed, those reasons are
given added weight by national and global events of the past few months. While not claiming too much,
citizenship can address core skills, attitudes and values that young people need to consider as they come to
terms with a changing world.

The main problems standing in the way of implementation of citizenship continue to be: the lack of
commitment on the part of many school leaders; an insufficient amount of initial and in-service training
provision to ensure that every school can call upon teachers with subject expertise; and its uncertain place in
the curriculum.

130026.Environmental Law 环境法 (100% confirmated)


Youtube 视频讲解(按住 Ctrl 点击)

腾讯视频讲解(按住 Ctrl 点击)


Before we consider international environmental law and climate change we need to consider domestic
legislation, as it is within the sovereign states that international law is put into practice. This reflects the
environmentalists’ maxim, ‘think globally act locally’. United Kingdom legislative control over the impacts
of mans’ activity on the environment is not new. As long ago as the reign of Charles II the main concern was
the production of smoke from the burning of ‘sea coal. Almost all areas of trade and industry were subject to
very detailed legislative controls at that time, although some were governed by ‘self- regulation’ in the form
of guilds, who regulated both supply and methods of production. However, the measures implemented were
mostly ineffective because then, as now, the specifying of legal duties and standards without providing any
appropriate enforcement merely indicated good intentions but were of little practical effect. The next stage
was prompted by the Industrial Revolution with the urbanization of society and its profound effects on the
environment. Local industrialists used the Adam Smith model to maximize their economic benefit, but this
was to the detriment of the local environment with the operation of ‘Gresham’s Law’ that is, the bad drives
out the good. Those industrialists who were concerned for either the health of their employees or the local
environment faced higher costs than their competitors. The result was the need for increasingly
comprehensive statutory controls on the discharge of pollutants into various receiving media.

130027.Globalization 全球化

Globalization, what is globalization? I think that it takes on a few different definitions in one sense of the
word. Globalization means proliferation of transactions across country. So, one way of thinking about
globalization is a way to describe, increase international communications, more trade happening between
countries and be less self-sufficient in providing goods and services to their people and more companies that
have offices in multiple countries, which we call multinationals. So, the source of growth in travel and
communication and corporate trade across borders. And this way of thinking about globalization is the
continuation of thinking that has been around for a long time, such as when the Europeans went to the
Orient, to find spices, which was also an example of global trade and communication. Another way to think
of globalization though, is an economic system. It is a system in which countries become integrated in a way
that never had been before. In this system, we see a global split in the process between consuming and
producing goods. Some countries produce goods, some countries consume goods, and then these countries
in different areas of the globe depend on each other in a kind of organic solidarity rather than having an
economic system being just inside your country. The system is the way economy in your country functions
depends on economy of another country. And in fact this way of thinking about globalizations represents a
new area of economic progression. The past industrialist economy has been a global issue.

130028.Government Power 政府权力


Well, that’s one aspect of what’s called, reducing government — modifying government, to be more precise.

Another aspect of it is what’s called “devolution” — reducing — moving governmental power from the
Federal to the State level. And that has a kind of a rationale which you hear all over the time — place. For
example, there was an op-ed a couple of weeks ago in the New York Times by John Cogan — Hoover
Institute at Stanford, who has pointed out what he called a philosophical issue that divides the Democrats
from the Republicans. The philosophical issue is that the Democrats believe in big government and
entitlements, and the Republicans believe in getting power down closer to the people, to the States, because
they’re kind of populist types.

Well, it takes about maybe three seconds’ thought to realize that moving power down to the States, in
funding and so on, is just moving it away from the people, for a perfectly elementary reason: there’s a
hidden part of the system — of the power system that you’re not supposed to know about, or think about,
and that’s private power.

The debt today is so high; it’s two hundred thousand rupees, three hundred thousand rupees of peasant who
have no capital. They, who know within a year or two, when they accumulate that kind of debt,. They will
never be able to pay back. Where is the debt coming from? It’s coming from a seed that is costing a hundred
thousand to two hundred thousand rupees per kilogram, depending on what you got. Seed that used to be
free, used to be theirs. Pesticides each time, the more they use, the more they have to use, 12 sprays, 15
sprays, 20 sprays. Pesticides used in just the last five years in the land areas of India has shot up by 2000
percent. That’s what the free market and globalization have brought. And since we are talking about
peasants, who have no money, who have no capital, they can only buy expensive seeds and expensive
pesticides by borrowing. And who lend them that money? The same companies that sell the pesticides,
which are the same companies that sell the seeds, as you know, are now also the major creditors.

How often does a civilization occur? By studying that, we could look at stars that are suitable for the
development of civilizations. How many new stars appear every year? Seven, but some stars are too cold
and some are too hot. Only about 20% can be considered as suitable. We all know that there are some
factors for species and animals to survive and reproduce, including environmental conditions, temperature,
tolerance range, body size, weight, diets, seasonal and daily activity, behavior, and the altitude they live.
Animals migrate to find a new habitat because the change of environment and only species that have the
tolerance for new environment could survive and reproduce. Human beings are the only organism that
makes extensive use of technology to extend the limits of its natural tolerance range.

going back over 2000 years ago. Scientists like Darwin wrote about possible evolutionary links between
music and language in his book the Descent of Man and so did artists like Leonard Bernstein who gave a
series of lectures at Harvard in the 70s. He spoke about the grammar of language and the grammar of music
from Noam Chomsky’s theories.

So it’s a persistent question. It keeps drawing interest from scientists today but there are some basic obvious
similarities. For example, both music and language have rhythmic systematic patterns of timing accent and
grouping. Both language and music have melody-structured patterns of pitch, over time. Both have syntax,
discrete elements like words or notes, and principles for combining those elements into sequences.
Sentences are just random sequences of words. Both convey effect which means emotion using sound. You
can make out a lot of emotion from a person’s voice and music has the characteristic of providing emotions
like happiness or sadness.

130033.Talent Version 1 人才 版本一 女生版


The time in late 1990s when management consultants wrote books with titles such as the war for talent.
There was a great deal of talk about the talent wars. And I think that was the bursting of the bubble with the
bursting of the dot-dom bubble and a sense of the people who had been the masters of the universe just a
few weeks before we' re out on the streets looking for jobs. I think this created a reaction, it gave me ideas
that there was a war for talent. In fact, all of things we saw in the late 1990s are reasserting themselves now.
All those shortages are reasserting themselves and the real reason the auditing was really the bursting of the
bubble, not the shortages of talent. There are very profound structural forces which are creating these talent
shortages, one is the fact that the nature of the economy is changing, it's putting more and more premium
upon intellectual skills analytical skills, creative skills which are in short supply. So there is a demand
increase, but there is also a decrease in supply. Because we are seeing now the aging of the baby boom, the
shirking of populations in Europe and Japan and not very long in China as well and the sort of stabilization
of the population of the United States so we see a time when there is a greater demand for intellectual skills
and slowing down in the supply of people who possess those skills and also a mismatch between the sort of
things that people are learning at school and university and the sort of things the economy is placing a
premium on particularly with the shortage of trained people in the sciences and engineering. So for all sort
of reasons, there's a premium on talent.

I think there is an intense competition at the moment to hire the most talented and most intellectually able
people. There is a time when I think companies have many of the adventures in the world. That involves the
companies’ world. It was the bosses’ world. Now I think it reverses the case. We have a shortage in talent
base within countries and between countries, have an intense battle between companies to hire the most
talented workers and also between countries, which are looking to recruit talented young people, talented
young immigrants.

We have this sense of immigrants being things that countries are battled to keep out, and immigrants want to
get in, climb of the walls. I think the opposite isn’t the case. And the topic is that countries are trying to lure
bright young people to get them to go to universities and get them to become immigrants.

So, on many levels, talent is a premium. There is a shortage of talent, and so countries, companies, all sorts
of organizations, of course, volunteer organizations as well as, are competing to hire the best and the
brightest. You know we have a baby-boom population which is aging. We have an economy which is
becoming more sophisticated. And so, for all those sorts of reasons, talent is a premium.

humanizing the tragedy of an ideology that had divided families and a nation. )本句待确定

Wags would ask, “When does a good border guard fire the warning shot?” And answer with chilling wit; “at
the end of the second clip of ammunition” – thereby making light of the German democratic republic’s
command to its border guards to “shoot to kill” anyone trying to cross the wall.

Jokes about those who rule you – and sometimes those who tyrannize you – are a form of folklore that has
existed in societies as seemingly different as communist in Eastern Europe, Czarist Russia, modern Egypt,
12-century Persia, and modern-day Iran. Humor can also be wonderfully subversive. It can protect self-

There can now be no reasonable science-based doubt about the reality of global climate change effects
brought on by the cumulative and rapidly growing emission of so-called greenhouse gases – primarily
carbon dioxide - into the atmosphere. As these effects become increasingly more obvious worldwide, so
commercial interests, groups of concerned individuals and national governments have been gripped by what

amounts to mass panic about what to do about it. To many, Paul Ehrlich’s Malthusian “Population Bomb”

population growth, which outpaces agricultural production capacity with predictably catastrophic results for
humanity. And his three-part crisis scenario does indeed seem now to be present: a rapid rate of change, a
limit of some sort, and delays in perceiving that limit. Ehrlich’s work was roundly criticized at the time, and
later, from many quarters, and much of what he predicted did not come about. Nevertheless, can the world
afford to take the risk that the climate scientists have got it wrong? Is it not in everyone’s interests to apply
the Precautionary Principle in attempting to avoid the worst of their predictions – now, rather than at some
future time? As the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Mr. Rajendra Pachauri

Today a university like the LSE certainly has to acknowledge that it is in competition for the best students,
all of whom have choices they can exercise, and many of them have choices which run across national and
continental borders. We are in competition, too, for staff. The academic job market is one of the most global
there is. And in the 21st century English is the new Latin, so universities in English speaking countries are
exposed to more intensive competition than those elsewhere. We are in competition for government funding,
through the assessment of research quality. We are in competition for research contracts, from public and
private sector sources, and indeed we are in competition for the philanthropic pound. Many of our own
donors were at more than one university, and indeed think of the LSEs requests alongside those of other
charities to which they are committed. That is a competitive environment which is particularly visible to

just looks these different forms and structures. You have no idea that they were all related to one to another.
So one of the most profound things that biology told us is that all life on earth is exceptionally related
similar to one to another. So, for example, all of these life forms rely on DNA and RNA for storing and
transmitting in using their genetic and inherited information. They are all based on cell. Cell is the
fundamental building blocks of all life. All of these organisms consist of cells, and the cells essentially have
the same chemicals inside of them - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, and the whole bunch of other
stuff and much smaller amount. All these organisms conducted metabolism, in other words, chemical
reactions that using convert energy from one form to another. And the basic chemistry is all very similar to

recently the last 200,000 years has been so frighteningly rapid that the evolution of cognitive function and
perception in different ways, can only happen to the actions of a small number of genes. If one needed to
adapt dozens of genes changes and concert, in order to acquire the penetrating minds that we now have,
which our ancestors 500,000 years ago didn't have, the evolution could not have taken, could not have
occurred so quickly. And for that reason alone, one begins to suspect that the genetic differences between
people who lived 500,000 years ago sever that cognitive functions than ours are not so large. Therefore, a
rather small number of genes, maybe responsible for comforting us that powerful minds which we now,

Child language acquisition, three little words. So let's take them on at a time. Child, when to start being a
child? For many people, language acquisition starts around about twelve months when kids say that first
word, but don't forget the first year. At the first year, our first year of life is very important as well and
indeed before you are born, remember there are couple of months before you are born, when you actually
able to perceive in the womb, something of the language that's around you. So language acquisition starts
earlier than most people think. And it also ends later than most people think. When does child language
acquisition stop? Well, in a sense, you know, we are all children, we stay being children all in our lives.
There is no obvious endpoint for learning sounds, of course, there is for learning grammar, there is for
vocabulary, huh. I mean that goes on for the rest of our lives in million or more words in English. Most of us
only have a vocabulary of 50, 60, 70 thousand words, whatever it is until there is always something to learn.
So remember that two ends of child language acquisition are wider apart than some people think. That
means there is more scope for studying in it than most people think.

130058.Language in vocabulary 语言词汇


Well, a historical linguist compares languages at several levels. You start out looking for basic vocabulary.
All languages of the world, natural languages at least, have words for eye and head and nose and ear and for
sky and earth and for water, sand and for sibling, mother and father. They may not have words for uncle and
aunt. It becomes much vaguer because in one culture an aunt is different when it comes from your father's
side than from your mother's side. You don't include snow. Most people know what snow is but in the
tropics you don't have it. So you look for notions that are totally comparable and that occur everywhere in
the world. You can the hundred or two hundred most universal notions in a human life, those which you call
the basic vocabulary. So you take basic vocabularies and languages that you think are related. You look for
words that sound the same.

Sample Answer:

The lecturer was discussing language comparison. 演讲者正在讨论语言比较。这种比较是从每一种

130059.Vitamin D Version 2 维生素 D 版本二

近似文本: (答案根据回忆整理)

The body also manufactures vitamin D from cholesterol, through a process triggered by the action of
sunlight on skin, hence its nickname, "the sunshine vitamin." Yet some people do not make enough vitamin
D from the sun, among them, people who have a darker skin tone, who are overweight, who are older, and
who cover up when they are in the sun. Correctly applied sunscreen reduces our ability to absorb vitamin D
by more than 90 percent. And not all sunlight is created equal: The sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays—the so-
called "tanning" rays, and the rays that trigger the skin to produce vitamin D—are stronger near the equator
and weaker at higher latitudes. So in the fall and winter, people who live at higher latitudes (in the northern
U.S. and Europe, for example) can’t make much if any vitamin D from the sun.

Sample Answer:

The lecturer was discussing vitamin D, which called 演讲者正在讨论维生素D,它被称为阳光维生

130061.Governments Use Tricks 政府伎俩


I suppose it's the truism to point out that citizens need to be well informed. Maybe it's something we take for
granted in our liberal western democracies. But there will be plenty of societies, well, that is run counter to
explicit government policy. Many areas of the world still suffer from the reverie of the deliberate missing
information. Governments, especially the unelected ones, but also some elected ones, have denied the events
that have ever taken place. They pretend that other events did take place. They would help spin what they
cannot deny. Ensure they've used every trick of the book, to pull the eyes of the world, and in an attempt to
cover up their mistakes.

我认为指出公民需要获得充分的信息是不争的事实。也许在我们自由的西方民主国家,这是理所当然的。但会有很多社会,嗯,这与

政府的明确政策背道而驰。世界上许多地区仍然遭受着故意丢失信息的幻想。政府,尤其是那些未经选举产生的政府,以及一些经过

130062.Einstein 爱因斯坦
For thousands of years, philosophers and astronomers and thinkers of all sorts have imagined that the
universe, the space around us was rather like this floor in front of us. It was fixed and unchangeable and
things happen on it, just as people walk around. So the stars, the comets, and the planets, and the other
heavenly bodies moved around and traced down their parts on this completely unchanging stage of space. In

the 20th century, as the result of Einstein’s work, that view of the universe was completely transformed.

We began to understand that there was no absolutely fixed stage of space at all on which all celestial notions
were played out. But in some sense on the larger scale in the universe, the space itself was in this state of a

continuous dynamic change. That was a prediction made by Einstein. But is wasn ’ t Einstein Harold the

owner of making the discovery that our universe was really like that

130065.Misunderstanding of Globalization 对全球化的误解


Globalization is an overused and often misunderstood concept. We hear it all the time on news broadcasts
and in any type of public discussion. But the starting point for understanding globalization is that it is
industries and markets that globalize, not countries. That’s why it’s helpful to think of Globalisation as ‘the
integration of economic activities across borders’. But why does globalization matter? I would argue
globalization matters because it means the rise of interconnectedness between countries and markets across
the world. For example, one of the reasons why the financial crash of 2007/2008 was so serious was because
the financial and banking systems of countries around the world have become so closely interconnected with
the globalization of markets.

130071.The Definition of Risk 定义风险 (100% confirmated)


What's the literal definition of "risk"? Business schools use risk analysis. So, what do you mean by "risk",
and we need a dictionary. When you look at dictionary, this is literal, literal definition of risk. What it says is,
the definition for example, the possibility of injury, a dangerous element or factor, chance of, degree or
possibility of such loss, and so on. So, risk has two parts, as you look at the literal definition of risk. One
part is the consequence of some kind of particular danger, hazard loss. And the other is about the probability,
of it: chance and consequence, OK? And then at least just as English language concerns, when you look up
the word of safe and safety, which you'll earn as, it's a little bit of a loop, a little circular argument that free
from harm or risks, secure from danger, harm or loss, the condition of being safe and so on for all. And why
we take out of it? At least when we talk about safe at least in English language, we are talking absolute
something is safe, or it sounds safe.

130072.Implicit and explicit memories 隐性和显性记忆


Not complete. Based on memory. 根据回忆整理,欢迎补充

There are two different systems of memory: implicit and explicit. Implicit memory is called procedural
memory, which cannot be consciously recalled. It is an experimental or functional form of memory. With
implicit memory, behavior is automatic, and we do not know when we use it, such as using language
naturally or driving automatically. Implicit memory is about cultural and sociological norms, which is hard
to explain how and why. Explicit memory is also called episodic memory, which consists of a great deal of
highly personal memories related to time space and people. It is totally different from implicit memory, such
as remembering birthdays and multiple choices questions. Explicit memory is highly personalized and is
related to time and space.

130073.Big Bang Theory 宇宙大爆炸

One of the most amazing things that’s happened even in my lifetime is the prediction of cosmology. When I
started out forty odd years ago, we thought we knew that the universe began a big bang, some people
doubted even then. We thought the universe was about ten or twenty billion years old. But now for really
very sound scientific reasons we can say that the universe did started in a Big bang and it’s 13.8 billion years
old. So it’s not 14, its not 13 because a decimal point in there and that’s a stunning achievement to know
that. And we also know that the laws of physical that apply to tiny particles inside atoms also explains what
happened in the big bang, you can’t have one without the other. A very neat example of this is that when you
apply nuclear physics, that kind of physics to understand how stars work, you find out that the oldest star in
the universe is about 13 billion years old. So their universe is just a little bit older than the stars. Fantastic, if

we done it and counted in the other way around and said that the stars were older than the universe, we
would say science were in deep trouble. But it’s not, everything fits together and we know how the universe

130077.Earthquake and Faults 地震

So faults are breaks in the earth crust, we can identify them because of the discontinuity in the structure
within the earth crust across fault. And earthquake occur on these faults, so vary processes by which these
faults moves to a large extent is due to earthquakes. So we have a fault plane and the earthquake is so focus
on this fault plane and the earthquake starts at the particular point on the fault plane and we call that the
focus of the earthquake. The rock prorogate out from that point on the rupture plain to cover the entire fault
plane. The rupture is in that particular earthquake. We talked about the epicenter of the earthquake a lot. The
epicenter is just the surface projection of the focus of the earthquake. So if you wanted to looking at map
view where the earthquake was located we would be able to look that into the earth. We would see the focus
down some depth in the earth or the epicenter just a point vertically above that focus at the surface of the
earth. So this is the focus between the faults and the earthquakes.

Well, it’s like, why is Australian housing is so expensive? Essentially, it’s showing of how well the
Australian economy has been doing over the last 15 years. We have had 15 years more or less of an
uninterrupted economic growth during which average earning has been raised by close to 90 percent. While
over the course of that period, the standard variable mortgage rate has roughly halved. That meant that the
amount which a typical home buying household can afford to borrow under rules which aren’t strictly
applied as they used to be had more than doubled. Over the same period, rising immigration in falling
average household size has meant that the number of households looking for accommodation has risen by
about one and a half million. That’s around 200 thousand more than the number of dwellings has increased
by. So you have had a substantial increase in the purchasing power of households. No net increase in the
supply of housing enhance all that addition purchasing power has gone into pushing up the price of housing.

It seems to me that architecture is very much something that causes us both pleasure and trouble. I live in the
part of western London where I think many of the streets are, where I live are really really ugly, and this
distresses me every time I walk to a supermarket or walk to a tube. I think why did they built that and with
terribly without architecture. It last so long, and if you write a bad book or do a bad play, you know, I will
be shocked when it be showed and then no one would suffer. A bad building has a serious impact for, could
be hundreds of years on the people around it.

And suppose the book arose a little bit from the frustration, almost anger than there is so much bad
architecture around. And then I realize if you talk about architecture, you will say why building are not more
beautiful. Then you will say I can use such work as "beauty", that's a really arrogant word. And no one
knows what beautiful is. It's all in the eye of beholder. I couldn't help but think that actually. Well, you know
that we all attempt to agree that Rome is nice than Milkykings, and San Francisco has the edge of Frankfurt,
so we can make that sort of generalization, surely they are somethings we can say about why a building
work or why it doesn't. So the books really attempt to suggest why architecture works when it does and what

130089.Agriculture and Urbanization 农业与城市化

I am trying here to capture the dynamics that is conventionally being associated with urbanization
developments. And get back once again, to this question of agriculture. Once you have cities and you also
the reverse of the cities, you have countryside. You have rural areas and have this relationship with urban
areas, and it needs to developed agricultural goods. And you trade with increasing industrial goods.
Increasing agriculture productivity, reduces labour needs and opportunities in the rural areas, pushing people
towards to the cities. There is this notion that in order to have progress and development in cities, you need

people. If everybody is busing growing to crops, growing food that exists, you can’t have people all going

into the city. You need to increased productivity in the countryside. You need to have one farmer producing
enough food for more than one family. And then you will have growth and productivity in the countryside,
which will free of people move to the cities. In fact, in many ways, it will compel it. They will go to the
cities and search for jobs and provide labour force for the production of all kinds of things.

我在这里试图捕捉与城市化发展相关的动态。再回到农业的问题上。一旦你有了城市,反过来也有了城市,你就有了农村。你有农村

地区和城市地区的关系,它需要发展农产品。你们与越来越多的工业产品进行贸易。提高农业生产率,减少农村地区的劳动力需求和

机会,将人们推向城市。有这样一种观念,为了在城市里取得进步和发展,你需要人。如果每个人都忙着种庄稼,种粮食,你就不能

让所有人都进城。你需要提高农村的生产力。你需要一个农民生产足够多的食物给一个以上的家庭。然后你会在农村看到增长和生产

力,那里将没有人会搬到城市。事实上,在许多方面,它将迫使它。他们会去城市找工作,为生产各种各样的东西提供劳动力。

130090.What makes people happy 快乐的原因


So happiness economics can help us get to these questions, and I'll try to give you some examples of this.
Now, even though there's a lot of skepticism, originally about using this survey - surveys what people say
make them happy. The number of reason that we are getting increasingly confident in doing so. One is that
their consistent pattern - remarkable consistent pattern, that determines well-being across large samples of
people, across countries, across the world, and over time. Some of the basic things that make people happy,
and I will show you some of these income health, marital status, employment status. Some of these very
basic things are remarkably consistent across countries across world. So that gives us some sense that these
surveys are picking up consistent patterns. And when we know what consistent patterns are, we can look
how other things that very much more, affect people's well-being. The environment and equality, the natures
institution raging on living, and all kinds of other things that very much more

Motivation is a concept that means turning people’s move into actions and there is internal motivation and
external motivation. Many psychological factors can affect motivation, such as one’s interest, values, and
inspiration. Motivation is also affected by age because when people grow older, there are more things that
they have already done. The current dominated opinion is that rewards and punishments are the most basic
factors to drive human’s behaviors.

130132.History of Software 软件的历史


The history of software is of course very very new. And the whole IT industry is really only 67 years old
which is extraordinary and to be so close to the birth of a major new technology, a major new discipline is
quite remarkable given where we got to in those 67 years. And the progression has been not so much a
progression as a stampede because Moore's Law, the rapid expansion in the power of computing and the
rapid fall of the cost of computing and storage and communications has made it feasible for information
technology to move into all sorts of areas of life that were never originally envisaged. What has happened is
that there has been as I said a stampede for people to pick the low-hanging fruit. And that is what's guided
the development of software and information technology over the past decades and continues to do so with a
number of consequences that we will explore.

The Education Leadership Initiative was started by Dean Bob Joss of Stanford Graduate School of
Business. He talked a lot about the importance of education leadership. Education leaders need to be

dynamic and entrepreneurial change agents. Managing is not enough – increasingly leaders must rise to
the challenge of changing their organizations through innovative, problem-solving strategies. So we are
combining forces from our School of Education and School of Business to support the development of
management skills and leadership capacity for current superintendents and other central office leaders.
The School of Education will focus on learning while the School of Business will focus on management.
Now many institutes are providing education leadership learning opportunities, for profit or non-profit.
We want to make sure that here at Stanford, we are not only delivering the services but with good quality.
The program incorporates case-studies and research-based presentations, discussions, and exercises.
Participants also collaborate and build relationships through group work. However, they must realize that
it is their own responsibility to achieve and accomplish – what others can do does not indicate what you
are capable of.

130137.Description 描述(文本更新)
Today we will discuss about abstraction commonly known as description. There are two methods of
description: these are symbolic language and body language. The abstraction is an important part for
developing a computer. This is originated from the symbolic system in the computer system. The origin of
symbolic system was developed when people tried to communicate with each other. The symbolic language
took communication to wider people and popularity grew. The other part of abstraction is the body language.
People accepted body language as well. The physical movement facilitates the development of sign language,
which popularly became hand words. 。

130159.Recycling Water 循环用水(100% conformation)


Why do we need to recycle water?

Because we don’t generate much new water. Chemically the process of generating water, which is basically
taking hydrogen and oxygen and burning them to produce water, is not a process that happens a lot anymore.
So in terms of our total volume of water in the world, yes it is changing, but it’s not changing significantly
relative to the rate at which we are using or demand fresh new water.

Now there are a lot of different areas of technology involved in water recycling, and we are later in the
interview going to get to industrial use and the reclamation of sewerage. What about in the home at the
moment; what sort of technology is being utilized in the home when we talk about water recycling?

Well very little on average. Typically in a modern home, we turn on the tap, we take a glass of water, we
probably in turning on that tap flush ten glasses of water down the sink. We take a shower, we use fresh

water, we do a whole range of things, and there is nominally very little recycling of that. It goes down the
drain and it goes off to a wastewater treatment plant.

There is actually very, very little recycling at a local level. People don’t actually say well I’m now going to
take the water I just used, put it through a sophisticated process and reuse it and have a closed loop. It’s not a
closed loop in the home.

Italy. So there are a lot of Italians and there are a lot of Slovenians and there are of course a lot of mixed
marriages. What they did was they took three groups of babies, all babies were seven months old so there
were a bunch of Italian speaking babies, bunch of Slovenian speaking babies and a bunch of Italian-
Slovenian babies from mixed families. They showed those babies various puppets and then they switched
the situation. Typically when the seven-month-old baby is used to particular setting and the situation
switches it takes them a little while to regroup. So turned out that seven-month-old Italian and seven-month-
old Slovenian babies would get used to the puppet appearing on the right, and then when the puppet would
appear on the left they would continue looking to the right as if nothing had changed. Whereas the bilingual
babies very quickly would turn their head and notice that the puppet has changed its position.

女性没有 social identity, 多半在家里照顾小孩: in the 19thcentury, women did not have social identity and
played the role of motherhood and domesticity.

后来女性有了 special role of social identity, 可以提高小孩和丈夫的知识, 而且可以参加课程:later on,


women have the special role of social identity, and they can expand knowledge for their children and
husband and they need to take classes.

1. The role of women is constantly changing over the years.

2. There are two main aspects to discuss the change of role, which are historical aspect and classical aspect.

3. In the 19th century, women played an important role in domesticity and motherhood.

4. 还 记 了 一 些 小 短 词 domesticity 和 motherhood (They took the class and supported their homes and
families, and also expanded knowledge for their children and husband./ two steps: first been widely

women play a special/central role in the society so women's roles have been widely expanded and then they
have gained their social identity.

130167.Lawyers V1 律师 版本一
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hoj3lvNwLk (-01:42)
My name is Graham Virgo, I’m a professor of English Private Law in the Faculty of Law at the University
of Cambridge. And I’m going to consider the question why you should study law, if you don’t want yo
become a lawyer.

A lot of people who study law at university do so because they want to become practising lawyers, whether
barristers or solicitors. But it is not necessary to read law at university to become a practising lawyer.
Equally, studying law at university is a legitimate subject for academic study even if you definitely don’t
want to become a lawyer or think that you may not become a practising lawyer. That’s because the study of
law at university is not a vocational subject, it is an academic subject and an intellectual discipline. Even for
those students who study law at university intending to become practising lawyers, they are required to do
additional vocational training to prepare them for working either as a barrister or a solicitor, for them the
study of law at university by it self is not sufficient to train them to become lawyers.

So why do such students study law at university and why do others study law even is they don’t want to
become a lawyer? The answer is fairly similar in both cases, namely that studying law at university trains
the students to think and write logically and clearly.

130171.New Zealand 新西兰

This is my next contribution to New Zealand’s super diverse future. The status quo is not sustainable. Super
diversity stocktake. What I would talk to you about now is designed to help us to adept to a super diverse
New Zealand. To make sure that we are foot for the future. Because New Zealand is super diverse right now.
Predominantly in Auckland, but actually throughout New Zealand. Here, we are already 50 percent Maori,
Pacifican and Asian. 44 percent are not born in New Zealand. And we have over two hundred ethnicities.
Now the definition academically of super-diversity is 25 percent are born in New Zealand a hundred
ethnicities. So we are almost double that number already. And Auckland will continue to become younger
and browner as Angela says some population ages and shrinks. So the megatrend here is not age. And the
megatrend here is not urbanization. The megatrend is demography. It’s ethnicity. And we need to get our
head around that because most of the benefits from super-diversity that we, as a country, are enjoying at the
moment such as great renovation, productivity and investment increase New Zealand’s financial capital,
whereas the most of the challenges from super-diversity adversely affect New Zealand’s social capital.
However, if you don’t mitigate the challenges to your social capital, you are not gonna maximize sustainably

130174.Washing Machine History 洗衣机的历史


Here in the wagon barn are some of the most important inventions in human history. Sure, you can see
examples here of the wheel or the automobile, but the inventions I'm talking about are the domestic
appliances that allowed for increased leisure time and redefined gender roles in society. To a degree as never
seen before in human history, the evolution of the washing machine as demonstrated in this barn is a
representative example of this changing domestic life. For many centuries, sailors used to place their
clothing in a cloth bag, tie the back to a rope and throw it overboard, letting the ship drag it for hours. The
principle was simple: force water through the clothes to remove the dirt. But in the household before running
water and electricity washing clothes took a staggering amount of labor. To wash, boil and rinse a single
load of clothes could take 50 gallons of water, which had to be hand carried from a pump or well. Pan
wringing rubbing and lifting the clothes could expose women to caustic substances in the soaps. The whole
process for a households laundry could take an entire day or more of backbreaking labor. In 1846, a patented
washing machine imitated the human hand moving cloth over a washboard by using a lever to rub the
clothes between two rib surfaces. This machine was sold in the U.S. as late as 1927. The first electric clothes
washers in which a motor rotated the tub were introduced into America about 1900.

130175.Music and Brain 音乐与大脑


Interest in music in the mind is as ancient as philosophy itself. Plato was marveled at the power of music
over human character and human emotions. In fact, he was quite concerned about the way music could
either degrade or elevate the minds of young people. So you can see, in some sense, nothing has changed.
He said rhythm and harmony find their ways into the inward places of soul. Well, yes, that's true and he said
this in 400 BC. But what has changed since then? It's just in the last few years, brain science has started to
seriously investigate music and this young science is confirming music's power over us. For example, some
colleagues in Montreal decided to do a study to investigate what happens in the brain when people get chills
to music. This is intense emotional responses that often manifest themselves as shivers tingling of the spines.
Anybody here had this? OK, it's not uncommon. And they specifically looked at chills - instrumental music.
So this wasn't due to any associations that people had with lyrics. It was just sounds of music and they
looked it. They took advantage of the fact that people often know quite well what music gives them chills
they know piece, sometimes the very passage in the piece and so they had people bring in their own self-
selected CDs and they scan their brains while they were having these experiences listening to music.

心中对音乐的兴趣和哲学本身一样古老。柏拉图惊叹于音乐对人类性格和情感的影响。事实上,他很担心音乐会降低或提升年轻人的

思想。所以你可以看到,在某种意义上,什么都没有改变。他说节奏和和谐会进入灵魂的深处。是的,这是真的,他在公元前 400 年

说过。但从那以后发生了什么变化?就在最近几年,脑科学开始认真研究音乐,这门年轻的科学证实了音乐对我们的影响。例如,蒙

特利尔的一些同事决定做一项研究,来研究当人们听到音乐时,大脑会发生什么变化。这是一种强烈的情感反应,经常表现为刺痛的

颤抖。有人有这个吗?这并不罕见。他们特别研究了颤栗——器乐。所以这并不是因为人们对歌词有任何联想。只是音乐的声音,他

130177.Instinct Version 2 直觉 版本二


Instinct is a term used to describe a set of behaviors that are both unlearned and set in motion as the result of
some environmental trigger. Instincts are also often discussed in relation to motivation since they can also
occur in response to an organism's need to satisfy some innate internal drive tied to survival. Instincts are
present across species and are consistent within individual species. In other words, many different species
rely on instincts, and if one member of a species possesses an instinct, then they all do. Before we move into
a discussion of specific types of instincts, it is important to distinguish the difference between an instinct and
a reflex. Both are types of unlearned behavior that tend to serve a survival purpose. The difference is that a
reflex is a typically a simple reaction or a response to an environmental trigger whereas an instinct is a much
more complex set of behaviors.

For instance, an example of a reflex would be when a baby turns his head toward an object that is pressed
against one cheek in an effort to nurse. The head turn is a simple reactionary process. An instinct would be
the manner in which a mother bird regurgitates her food to feed her young in response to their signals of
hunger. Both are reactions to environmental cues; however, the mother bird must engage in a series of much
more complex behaviors in order to respond to the cues the environment is providing her.

130178.Fast Radio Burst 快速射电暴(文本有删减)


A fast radio burst is very much like what it sounds. It’s a very fast burst of radio waves. It comes from outer
space, a long way away. And by fast, I mean really fast. So it starts and stops in about a thousandth of a
seconds, so you click your fingers, and it’s finished.

Fast radio burst is a real mystery. We don’t really understand exactly where they come from or what actually
makes them. And there’s a lot of open questions that we really don’t have an answer for. There are probably
more theories about what makes fast radio bursts than there are actual detection of these things. So since
2007 we only had 20, but there are probably 30 or 40 different theories on what makes them.

The most interesting thing about this burst is the fact that we found it with the Australian square kilometer
ray path finder. So that is, it wasn’t really obvious that we would be able to do this as well as we ended up
being able to do it. So this telescope is really a fantastic telescope. In fact, it’s probably the best telescope on
the planet at the moment for finding these bursts. So whereas in the past, it is taken ten years to find 20
bursts, once we are really going with this new instrument, we’ll be able to find them much more quickly.

Well, I would argue that what they will say was the most important thing to happen in the early 21st century,
was the merger of globalization and the IT revolution. The two really fused in a way that the more IT started
to drive more and more globalization, and more and more globalization started to drive more and more IT.
And what that fusion did was take the world from connected to hyperconnected and from interconnected to
interdependent. These are huge differences of degree that are differences in kind. It happened over the last
decade. You are all feeling it in your jobs, in your universities, in your schools. But no one's really
explaining it to people. Everyone's living this fusion now.

130180.How To Spend Your Life 如何度过你的人生(文本补充)


What do you desire? What makes you itch? What's all of the situation would you like? Let's suppose, I do
this often in vocational guidance of students, they come to me and say, well, we're getting out of college and
we have the faintest idea what we want to do. So I always ask the question, "what would you like to do if
money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?" Well, it's so amazing as a result of
our kind of educational system, crowds of students say well, we'd like to be painters, we’d like to be poets,
we'd like to be writers, but as everybody knows you can't earn any money that way. Or another person says
well, I'd like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses. I said you want to teach in a riding school? Let’s go
through with it. What do you want to do? When we finally got down to something, which the individual says
he really wants to do, I will say to him, you do that and forget the money, because, if you say that getting the
money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You will be
doing things you don't like doing.

130181.Shakespeare's poem 莎士比亚的诗(文本补充)


Let's think about perhaps the top 10 things that people would like to know, ought to know about
Shakespeare if they're getting into his works. The first thing to say is that he did live quite a long time ago.
He lived 400 years ago. So if you're reading Shakespeare or listening to Shakespeare, you're listening to
somebody whose language is not quite the language of our current. You're listening to someone who was
writing in a language which is a bit out of date for now. It needs a little bit of effort to understand that
language but the understanding will be done partly for you by the actors if you're hearing it if you're seeing

it performed. Another thing is that Shakespeare was a very great poet. He wrote poems are at narrative
poems and sonnets but he was also and this is my third point he was also a great theater poet, his poetry is
dramatic poetry in the plays. He's not just writing static poetry, lyric poetry in the plays, which is therefore
declamation. He's writing dramatic poetry which consists of interaction between the characters of the plays.

Not complete. Based on memory. 根据回忆整理,欢迎补充

A company executive wants to hire a manager. There is a candidate with a good record and good

past performance. But he is not hired, because he is not well-fitted into this position, although he

is highly recommended by his previous employer.

• Another example is that a football coach wants to find a kid player. People think this kid is

excellent at football, but the coach recognized that the kid has difficulty controlling the football.

• In conclusion, it is hard to judge people how good they are within just 30 minutes to one hour.

career in the future. If you’re not so sure if you want to study law. Law can also be an incredibly helpful
degree for a multitude of other careers. For example, politics, journalism, the charity sector and the United
Nation. It can be a springboard to all these different types of degrees that careers. Why is this? Because of
the way that we teach law. A law degree involves not only studying what the legal rules are, but really
taking an analytical approach to the world around us. It involves thinking about why certain law exists. Can
they be justified philosophically? How have they developed historically? What social goals are they trying
to serve and how should the law develop in the future? So here in Cambridge, we’re not just studying what
the law is, what the law could be, what the law should be.

130189.History Course Study 历史课程学习(文本补全)


I am going to talk today really mostly about what I do as a curator here at the National Museum of Australia,
but I want to draw some kind of generalities from that in terms of how this series of curatorial practices if
you like, tools, techniques and methods that I think could be of interest to your students and of interest to
you in developing extension history courses. I want to talk about what I do as a curator and then from that
also talk a little bit about the kinds of history that I think museums are particularly good at creating and
communicating. I think this is something I would really like to discuss because it is not necessarily very well
understood that museums as Dave insisted by putting up my quote in his slide, create a very particular kind
of history. It’s not the kind of history that gets created in books or in dating films or in compositions, it’s a
very particular kind of history that grows out of the fact that museums are centrally interested and defined by
their collections. I should that is not an uncontested view of museums but it is certainly my view of
museums.

Curators try to understand material culture as evidence of other people’s lives as a means to try to
understand other people - what they look like, what they did, how they made a living, what they hoped for in
their lives, how they tried to construct their world and why they made particular choices. One way in which
curators differ from other historians is therefore in terms of how we interrogate the past, what elements we
use to communicate the past. Most academic historians are trained very much in the discipline of words and
they concentrate on words still today, although it is changing a little bit. If you go through university history
I think primarily you are encouraged to draw on things like archival accounts, manuscripts and now oral
histories, and most of that work is actually promulgated in the form of books.

There are also other kinds of historians. Obviously, filmmakers and photographers concentrate on creating
images of the world and arranging them in meaningful sequences, but curators attend to objects. We look at
objects as evidence of the past and try to arrange objects in meaningful ways called exhibitions.

footprints impact on fish, coral form, and the sea level was expected to change. Fortunately, there are some
potential solutions to solve these problems such as reducing human footprint. Meanwhile, the speaker would
like us to provoke critical way for thinking solutions.

130194.G7 七国集团
Well, who makes these decisions? In the international arena, the decisions are made by states but to George
Orwell's phrase, some states are more equal than others, the ones who are most equal are the ones called G7,
the seven rich industrial countries, and they have an overwhelming effect on states decisions. And of G7 the
one that's far and away the most equal is, of course, the United States, which since the Second World War
has had a position of overwhelming international power, you know, historical president to then, and of
course, has used it to design a world and the interests of powerful sectors within. Alongside the powerful
states, there are the institutions that they have designed the international financial institutions the IMF from
world banks, world trade organization took over from gap a couple of years ago. Those are institutions of
global dominant, global control, which are themselves controlled by the rich countries and primarily by the
United States, which once again has an overwhelming influence.

130196.Paying 小孩子付钱

Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for
work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around
the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the
form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and
maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut
costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to
future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal
finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Interest rates
on savings can be very low these days. But compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for
example, one dollar invested at two percent interest will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the
money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over
time it adds up.

Sample Answer:
