Well, I am stopping by to rerve a place for my school club that meet and work, pretty much on a regular basis. Ideally, our preference would be to have our own office.
Employee
Hmm…well, we are out of private offices. But we do have some mi-private options still available.
Student
What do you mean?
Employee

Well, it’s a tup where you’ll have a larger workspace shared by two other clubs. In other words, each club would have its own work area within that one room.
Student组织英语
Oh. Are there any divider, walls or anything?
Employee
Oh, yes. There will be a couple of dividers, so there’s some privacy.
Student
Um. We’ll work with that then. I wouldn’t want to be without an office.
Employee
OK. Here are the two forms you have to fill out. Why don’t you do it now while I t that up through out computer system.
Student
OK.
Employee
So what’s your club’s name? And the last name of the club president.
Student
Oh, it’s the photography club. And it’s Williams. That’s me. John Williams.

Employee
Hmm…that’s not pulling up anything on my screen. Um…let me try something el. Uh, how about your faculty advisor’s name?
Student
Sarah Baker. She is in the Arts Department.
Employee
Hmm…No. Strange. You know your club is just not showing up in my online records. Is this an established club?
Student
No. Actually it’s a brand-new one.
Employee
Hmm…have you completed the registration process?
Student
Yeah, last week. That was my very first step.
Employee
Right. Well, for my purpos, a club definitely has to be registered before I can proceed further. At the moment, however, it appears that there’s no record of your club’s registration.
Student
Really? I thought everything was finalized last week.
Employee
Well, it is surprising. Usually there’s a 24-hour turnaround in our computer databa. So then do you have the registration approval letter from the review committee? That would give me the verification I need.
Student
Yeah. I do. I mean, well, I don’t have it with me. But … I… I, uh, can get it from my dorm room, bring it back with me and submit it with tho forms you need from me.
Employee
林沛渠Great! That’ll work. And just so you are aware, there’re lots of benefits to being registered.
Student
Oh, yeah. I think the university will give us permission to t up a website, right? I want to
get students sharing their ideas on the website, you know, establish a photography blog.
Employee
Yes. You’ll be able to do that. And…um…actually there’s more. You’ll be allowed the u of audiovisual equipment at no cost. You’ll receive a club mailbox and a club email address. You’ll be allowed to post your flyers and posters around the campus for publicity. And you could be eligible for funding for club events.
Student
Well, we are definitely interested in hiring a professional speaker at one of our campus events at some point in the mester. And speakers almost always charge a fee. So I’ll definitely follow up on that.
Lecture1
Narrator
Listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.
Professor
We’ve been talking about animal cognition—the study of animal intelligence. Now, much of the rearch in this area is motivated by the arch for animal analogues, or parallels to human cognitive process. And one of the process we’ve been investigating is .
What is metacognition? Well, it’s being aware of what one knows or feels, uh, um… having an awareness of one’s state of mind. And making decisions about behavior bad on what one knows. Rearchers have long been interested in whether animals posss this capability, but…but couldn’t test it becau animals aren’t able to report their feelings.
But recently one group of rearchers found a way to solve this problem. They did studies with…with monkeys and dolphins that provide evidence that the animals have the ability to feel uncertainty, to feel unsure about something and…and…well, to know that they are uncertain.
So how could the rearchers figure out if an animal feels uncertainty. Well, it began with a study one of them did on a dolphin, who had been trained to recognize a particular high-pitched tone. The dolphin was taught to press one of two paddles depending on whether it heard the high tone or one that was lower. Food was a reward for a correct respon. But if the wrong paddle was presd, the dolphin had to wait veral conds before it could try again. The task varied in difficulty according to the pitch of the cond tone. The clor it came in pitch to the first one, the hard it became for the dolphin to correctly identify it as low. And the rearcher noted that the dolphin is quite eager to press the paddle when it was sure of the answer, but exhibited hesitation during difficult trials.
