Conversation1
原文
NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Hi Eric,how are things going?
MALE STUDENT:Oh,I’m really busy with my workload.Some professors assign so much reading that…It’s like they think we have no other homework.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:One of the most important things you’ll learn in college is how to manage your time.How to,you know,prioritize.When to say no to a social
engagement if you have a paper due,that sort of thing.
MALE STUDENT:I guess so.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:So,how are you finding the material we’re covering in class?
MALE STUDENT:I’ve actually come to talk to you about it.I have a six-month-old niece,so I find early childhood development really interesting.Piaget—that Swiss psychologist you told us about—his development theory is really cool.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Yes—his theory that cognitive development in children occurs in four stages that you can,ah,actually observe.
MALE STUDENT:Yeah,um,so my niece,she’s in the,um,sen-sor-i-motor stage now, right at the part where she thinks things disappear when they’re out of sight.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Very good.She probably won’t understand that objects continue to exist even when they’re out of sight until she’s a month or so older.
MALE STUDENT:Yeah.Yesterday,we were knocking a little ball around,and it rolled under the couch.She immediately lost interest and reached for something else.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Because to her,the ball ceased to exist.
MALE STUDENT:Yeah.I’ve actually been taking notes on her behavior because I’d like to write my term paper about her,if it’s OK with you.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Your term paper?
MALE STUDENT:Yeah,I’d like to do a case study or something.Piaget watched his kids and,like,changed the whole world of psychology.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Wait a minute.Piaget didn’t just observe his own children.He did exhaustive research over thirty years to develop and test his theory.And anyway, your assignment isn’t to do a study;it’s to research the literature on a particular psychological topic and write about it.And I gave you a list of suggested topics to choose from.
MALE STUDENT:Well,what if I researched something like:Is it possible to speed up, uh,cognitive development?Like,if I reached under the couch to get the ball while she watched me,would she learn earlier that objects don’t disappear?Or can’t six-month-old babies think that way yet?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Uh,umm…I do applaud your initiative,Eric.However,I sincerely doubt you coul
d get any kind of valid or meaningful information from such an experiment.
MALE STUDENT:But I already put so much time into watching my niece.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Remember,this is only a freshman psychology class.You aren’t trained in carrying out an original research project.I wish you had come to me earlier, but,you know,there’s still some time before the due date.I suggest that you recheck the list of topics.At least one of them relates to cognitive development. Then come see me again if you have any questions.
MALE STUDENT:OK.
