Listening 2026-06 Test 1

==================== IELTS Listening Transcript ==================== PART 1 Speaker 0: Section one. Speaker 0: You will hear a telephone conversation between a musician and a man working in a music agency. Speaker 0: First, you have some time to look at questions one to five on page two. Speaker 0: You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. Speaker 0: On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. Speaker 2: Hello. Music Alive. How can I help you? Speaker 1: Hi. I've just moved to the area, and I saw your advert. I wanted to find out about your services. Speaker 2: Sure. What would you like to know? Speaker 1: Well, I've got a number of questions if that's okay. Have you got a few minutes? Speaker 2: Of course. Can I make a note of your name? Speaker 1: Yes. I'm Jim, Jim Granley. Speaker 0: The man's name is Jim Granley, so Granley has been written in the space. Speaker 0: Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Speaker 0: Listen carefully and answer questions one to five. Speaker 2: Hello. Music Alive. How can I help you? Speaker 1: Hi. I've just moved to the area, and I saw your advert. I wanted to find out about your services. Speaker 2: Sure. What would you like to know? Speaker 1: Well, I've got a number of questions if that's okay. Have you got a few minutes? Speaker 2: Of course. Can I make a note of your name? Speaker 1: Yes. I'm Jim. Jim Granley. Speaker 2: Thanks. And do you represent every type of musician? Can you tell me a bit about that? Speaker 1: Well, we're basically a networking agency for musicians, but we don't actually find you work. We have all our members on our database, the type of music they play, and also we can put people in touch if they want to form a band, for example. Speaker 2: Is there a lot of live music here? Speaker 1: Yes. And venues contact us when they need musicians, etcetera. We deal with modern music, especially rock, which is what most people seem to enjoy around here. But we do also represent some jazz musicians. We don't accept classical music, I'm afraid. Speaker 2: No. That's fine. What do you play? Speaker 1: Guitar and violin and a bit of flute. As I'm new here, I thought you could help me get in touch with people. Speaker 2: I see. Sure. We actually have a newsletter I could send you that would give you a good idea of what we do and how you can benefit from joining. The latest one came out this week. Would you like me to send you a copy? Speaker 1: That would be great. Is it weekly? Speaker 2: No. Every month. Weekly would be too much work, I think. Speaker 1: Right. And what are the costs for joining and becoming a member? Is it expensive? I'm on a tight budget. Speaker 2: You and every other musician in the region. No. We do everything to keep costs down because we know what it's like. We're pretty much all musicians ourselves too. So to join is just £35, and that's a one off payment. Oh, actually, that's the discounted rate for young musicians under eighteens. The standard rate is £45. Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I'm over 18. And how about joining? Can I join when I want? Now, for example, or do you have a limit on numbers? Speaker 2: No. You can join anytime. We don't have a limit on the numbers of members we can have. The more, the merrier, in fact. Our membership's gone up recently from 700 to 750. Speaker 0: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to 10 on page two. Speaker 0: Now listen and answer questions six to 10. Speaker 1: That's good. And your ad says you also have facilities there that musicians can use. Can you explain a bit about that? Speaker 2: Sure. Well, it's not huge, but we do have a couple of rooms where you can rehearse. They're soundproof. And we've just opened a studio, a small one. And it's already proving popular with bands that want to send demo tapes to venues and record labels. Speaker 1: Wow. That sounds brilliant. And is that free? Guess not. Speaker 2: No. That's extra. But we do have some free services. For example, we can offer legal advice if you need it for contracts and things like that. Pretty useful stuff, you know. Speaker 1: Great. So if I'm interested, what's the next step? How do I become a member? Speaker 2: Well, simple, really. Just send us a letter with your contact details and a recording made within the last couple of months. That'll give other members an idea of what you play. Speaker 1: And where are you based? Speaker 2: We're at 707 Kippax Street, Marbury. Speaker 1: How do you spell Kippax? Speaker 2: It's K I, P P, A X. Speaker 1: And is there an email address? Speaker 2: Yes. It's music.talent@bsu.co.uk. Speaker 1: Talent as in the word? Speaker 2: Yes. Speaker 1: Right. Just one last thing. Speaker 0: That is the end of section one. PART 2 Speaker 3: Section two. Speaker 3: You hear a talk by a counsellor from the University of New South Wales who will introduce some useful facilities and services on the campus. Speaker 3: First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15. Speaker 3: Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15. Speaker 4: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the University of New South Wales. The first thing I'd like to do at today's orientation session is get you all oriented. That means tell you the location of some useful facilities and services. So first of all, take out the maps we gave you all as you came in the door. The map is the big yellow sheet of paper. As you can see on the map, north is at the top, south at the bottom, etcetera. Which way is north? Well, look through that window on my left, your right. See the rising sun? That would have to be east. So north must be directly behind me. Now we're at the campus main gate. The recreational facilities are on my right hand, and its opposite is the student center. No questions? Good. Pretty easy. Right? Okay. Did everyone eat breakfast at the student food service this morning? Was the food good? Yes. Yes. I am joking. I've eaten there too. So after a meal like that, you must be eager to go to a doctor. Right? Well, I have good news for you. The student health center is located about half a kilometer straight north of here. Look on your maps. You see the street on the east side of this building, Ned Kelly Avenue? Just follow that about 500 meters, and the health center will be on your left at the 3rd Cross Street. Now I know you all just got here, so you must be wondering how to tell your folks you've arrived safely, how much you miss the dog, and how you already need more money. If you don't have an iPhone, you probably are wondering where to find a computer. Well, I have good news. If you go straight out of its door and walk down the Garden Street, you'll see the Internet unit on your left side just next to the gym. The hours are posted on the door and the computers are free, but you must bring your student ID card with you. Like I tell everyone, if you need help with anything, you can probably find right here in the student center. Do you see the four buildings there between the student center and the library? Those are the dormitories. The men's dorms are the two on the South, the women's, the two on the North. Okay. Now I'm sorry to have to tell you, but the university has been doing a lot of repairs and remodeling, and it's not all done yet. So there may be some small problems with your dorm rooms. Maybe the window doesn't open. Maybe an air conditioner is missing or does not work. If there are any problems, you can go to the complaint office, which is right beside the teaching building between the Parker Street and the Crammer Street. Just tell them your problem, and they should have it fixed by the time you graduate in four years. I'm joking, but please be patient. There are a lot of little things they need to take care of. Tired of the school food? No? Give it a week. Or maybe you just need a place to get coffee in the wee hours of the night during one of those marathon study sessions. Either way, you definitely have to check out the little cafe just past the women's dormitories. They've got free Wi Fi, so a lot of students saddle up with coffee and a bagel for hours on end to get work done. Speaker 3: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20. Speaker 3: Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20. Speaker 4: As for the dorm rooms, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is the rooms are small and you'll probably be sharing space with at least three other students. The good news is that each room has its own bathroom. What's good about sharing a bathroom with three strangers? Good question. Okay. Call it bad news and worse news. Hey, maybe try this for good news. Each dorm has a kitchen. If you want to make snacks or meals, you can do it there. You can buy food containers at any campus convenience store so you can store your food in the kitchen. But a word of warning, you should definitely write your name on your food containers. Sad to say, there are food thieves among your fellow students. Speaking of thieves, a word about security. I mean, this is Australia and we do get drunken bushrangers wandering onto campus. Each of you will be given a key for your dorm room. Don't lose it. You have to pay for any replacement and fill out a bunch of papers too. Red tape. Your key does not work for the front door of your dorm, however. To the right of each door, there's a keypad with numbers. When you move in, they will tell you the code you use to enter the door. Please do not tell the code to people who do not live in the dorm. Let's see. Have I forgotten anything? Oh, yes. Most of you are not rich. Correct? So when your clothes get dirty, you can't just throw them away and buy new ones. That means you have to learn to do laundry. Or men, that means you have to hurry up and get married. If you decide to wash those clothes and not get married, there are laundries in each dorm. Where? Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The laundry for each dorm is in the basement. Some real good news this time if you're a student, it is free. You do have to buy your own soap, however. The laundry closes by the by at 11:30. And now that I've mentioned 11:30, please remember, the dorm doors are locked at 11:30 PM. Your code will not work. If you want to get in, you'll have to call the night watchman. Don't worry. You can get that number at the dorm office. Yes. The dorm office and the complaint office are the same office. Alright then. Before we continue, are there any questions? Speaker 3: That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 3 Speaker 5: Part three. Speaker 5: You will hear two first year students, Rosie and Martin, discussing a project about sports shoes they are working on. Speaker 5: First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26. Speaker 5: Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26. Speaker 5: Okay, Martin. Before we plan our presentation for the project, let's discuss what we've done so far. Speaker 6: Okay, Rosie. When the tutor gave us the theme of sports shoes to base our project on, I was not all that interested, but I'm starting to get into it. I've pretty much finished the research stage. Speaker 5: Me too. At first, I had no idea what to write for the essay, so I asked some senior students for advice, and they gave me some websites to look at where I found some articles on sports shoes and got some ideas. Speaker 6: Yes. I searched for pictures of sports shoes online and applied them in my research. It's beneficial. Speaker 5: Right. Speaker 6: According to the project's requirements, we have to find an example for the research, and I've just completed this part. Speaker 5: What example do you use? You said you'd like to borrow a sample from the tutor. Speaker 6: That was my first thought, but I realized maybe the tutor wanted us to do our own thing, not copy. Then I cut off my old sports shoes and separated them into different parts so that I could make a careful study of the internal structure. Speaker 5: It's a good idea. Speaker 6: Then I drew a diagram which could show precisely each part of the shoes. Through the research, I found that sports shoes nowadays have significantly improved. Speaker 5: What do you mean? Speaker 6: For example, designers these days use better raw materials, which are not only durable but also make the skin of feet breathe more easily. Moreover, they also take into account the factor of foot shape, but they've ignored the foot movement, which is essential for sportspeople. Speaker 5: Interesting. I think I can add this to the essay. Speaker 6: Okay. Given that you've got most ideas for the essay so far, I think you can mainly finish the written sections of the project, and I can take care of every detail of the presentation. Speaker 5: Does this appeal to you? I'm okay with that. I prefer written work to give in a presentation. Speaker 6: That's good. What do we need to do next? Speaker 5: Well, according to the plan, we will give a presentation next Wednesday. And before that, we'll have to finish the questionnaire left by the tutor, and I think we can handle it this weekend. Speaker 6: Okay. Do we have to do some face to face interviews? Speaker 5: The tutor said that would be for the next assignment, not this one. Speaker 6: Okay. Then about the presentation. I remember in the last tutorial, the tutor advised us to use some slides to make the presentation more attractive, but I'll also need a whiteboard because I like writing or drawing when necessary. Speaker 5: We can ask our tutor for help. He might have one and can lend it to us. Right. Speaker 5: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30. Speaker 5: Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30. Speaker 5: Well, Martin, let's go through the draft of the essay together and see whether there are any changes we have to make. Speaker 6: Okay, Rosie. I think the summary gives a brief and precise description of the project's main ideas. Speaker 5: Where will it go? I'd like to put it at the end of the essay. What do you think? Speaker 6: Good idea. And I think the result part describes in detail what the research has achieved, but I'm wondering whether it should go directly behind the part of the research as they are closely related. Speaker 5: Yes. I think that'd be better. I'll move this part. Then the conclusion, I'm wondering whether I've used too many technical terms which other students might struggle with. Speaker 6: You're right. Not everyone will be familiar with the subject. Speaker 5: So I think we could replace them with straightforward explanations. Speaker 6: I agree. Lastly, the discussion. I like this part as it presents a series of questions that we can talk about with other students after the presentation. Speaker 5: Yes. But I think the questions look messy and need to be better sequenced. Maybe we could arrange them in a list. Speaker 6: Okay. That'd be better. Speaker 5: Alright. That's all about the essay. Now let's talk about the presentation. Speaker 5: That is the end of part three. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three. PART 4 Speaker 7: Section four. Speaker 7: You will hear part of a lecture about oxytocin and trust. Speaker 7: First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40. Speaker 7: Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. Speaker 7: The development of trust is an essential social tool, allowing people to form productive and meaningful relationships, both at a professional and personal level. Trust is indispensable in friendship, love, families, and organizations, and plays a key role in economic exchange and politics. Much recent evidence indicates that trust contributes to economic, political, and social success. When we make contacts with strangers, such as doing business with the clients who we meet for the first time, our trust in them can only rely on their kindness. So from our own judgment or the comments from other people, we can have a rough idea if the stranger is trustworthy. Trust is important because it is the basis around which all human relationships evolve. Without trust, there can be no relationship. Trust can come naturally, or it can be manifested. If you find trust of this magnitude in life, then you are lucky. Also, you can always count on them to protect through all, if not most of life's perils. Trust is important because if you don't trust someone, then they are not available. Believe it or not, reducing the chance of suffering from poverty is to understand trust because when you trust other people, you can have more support and resources. However, our ability to trust others varies from individual to individual, just like different people's ability of recognizing a person's face is not the same. Bonds of trust are also extremely fragile. A single act of betrayal, such as a marital affair, can instantly erase years of trustworthy behavior. The consequences of such breaches in confidence can be disastrous and not only for a relationship. The study demonstrates how oxytocin can facilitate social interactions after trust has been violated by potentially lowering defense mechanisms associated with social risks and by overcoming negative feedback that is important for adapting behavior in the future. Luckily, oxytocin in our body has the ability to inspire trust in and among people. This chemical is released whenever interaction happens between people. To study social interactions, economists and more recently neuroscientists take advantage of a simple experiment. Two participants play the so called trust game. The first participant is faced with a decision to keep a sum of money or share it with the second participant who has no obligation to give the money back. He would get more money if the second person returns it. In this game, the first person is left with an important social dilemma to trust or not to trust. Although it is more profitable to trust, doing so leaves the investor at risk of betrayal. Trust is not something that naturally occurs when two people meet for the first time. It involves a process. One person has to show the quality of being trustworthy to the other person. This can be achieved by certain behaviors and communication. Therefore, trust is conditional. People should not take it for granted. Oxytocin does not only exist in human beings. Animals also have this gift, and it can be seen when they have cooperation with each other. Oxytocin in monkeys, for example, allow them to work together to find food and to fight against enemies. The Nash equilibrium's game theory, the first participant will make the best decision he can with no expectations that the second participant would change his decision. The second participant will do the same. So the outcome depends on the decision of the other person. This game is similar to the one we just talked about. The oxytocin level doesn't stay the same in a person's body. Studies have found that people who are under a lot of stress would have higher levels of oxytocin. Oxytocin causes a substantial increase in trust among humans, thereby greatly increasing the benefits from social interactions. It's also noted that the effects of oxytocin on trust is not due to a general increase in the readiness to bear risks. On the contrary, oxytocin specifically affects an individual's willingness to accept social risks arising through interpersonal interactions. To sum up, oxytocin is like a kind of social glue that is helpful in social bonding. Further research is needed to explore oxytocin and trust, and how this hormone can be used to strengthen our trust in others, and even treat mental disorders that specifically relate to deficiencies in social behavior. Next, we're going to talk about... Speaker 7: That is the end of section four. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ==================== Chinese Translation ==================== 第一部分 Speaker 0：第一部分。 Speaker 0：你将听到一位音乐人与一位在音乐经纪公司工作的男士之间的电话对话。 Speaker 0：首先，你有时间看一下第二页的第一至第五题。 Speaker 0：你会看到一个已经为你完成的示例。 Speaker 0：仅此一次，与此相关的对话将首先播放。 Speaker 2：你好。Music Alive。有什么可以帮你的？ Speaker 1：嗨。我刚搬到这个地区，看到了你们的广告。我想了解一下你们的服务。 Speaker 2：当然。你想了解什么？ Speaker 1：嗯，我有一些问题，可以吗？你有几分钟时间吗？ Speaker 2：当然。我可以记下你的名字吗？ Speaker 1：好的。我是吉姆，吉姆·格兰利。 Speaker 0：这位男士的名字是吉姆·格兰利，所以空格里已经填上了格兰利。 Speaker 0：现在我们要开始了。你应该边听边回答问题，因为你不会再次听到录音。 Speaker 0：仔细听，回答第一至第五题。 Speaker 2：你好。Music Alive。有什么可以帮你的？ Speaker 1：嗨。我刚搬到这个地区，看到了你们的广告。我想了解一下你们的服务。 Speaker 2：当然。你想了解什么？ Speaker 1：嗯，我有一些问题，可以吗？你有几分钟时间吗？ Speaker 2：当然。我可以记下你的名字吗？ Speaker 1：好的。我是吉姆。吉姆·格兰利。 Speaker 2：谢谢。你们是否代表所有类型的音乐人？能跟我讲讲吗？ Speaker 1：嗯，我们基本上是一个音乐人的网络中介，但我们实际上不直接为你找工作。我们把所有会员的信息录入数据库，包括他们演奏的音乐类型，而且如果有人想组建乐队之类的，我们也可以帮他们联系。 Speaker 2：这里现场音乐多吗？ Speaker 1：是的。演出场地需要音乐人时会联系我们，等等。我们主要处理现代音乐，尤其是摇滚乐，这似乎是这里大多数人喜欢的。但我们也代理一些爵士音乐人。不过，我们不接受古典音乐。 Speaker 2：不，没关系。你演奏什么乐器？ Speaker 1：吉他和小提琴，还会一点长笛。因为我是新来的，我想你们能帮我联系一些人。 Speaker 2：我明白了。当然。我们实际上有一份通讯，我可以寄给你，让你很好地了解我们做什么以及你加入后能获得什么好处。最新一期这周刚出。你要我寄一份给你吗？ Speaker 1：那太好了。是周刊吗？ Speaker 2：不。月刊。周刊工作量太大了，我想。 Speaker 1：好的。那么加入成为会员的费用是多少？贵吗？我预算很紧。 Speaker 2：你和这个地区的每个音乐人都一样。不。我们尽一切努力降低成本，因为我们知道情况如何。我们自己基本上也都是音乐人。所以加入只需35英镑，这是一次性付款。哦，实际上，这是针对18岁以下年轻音乐人的折扣价。标准价是45英镑。 Speaker 1：不幸的是，我超过18岁了。那么加入呢？我可以随时加入吗？比如现在，或者你们有人数限制吗？ Speaker 2：不。你可以随时加入。我们对会员人数没有限制。事实上，人越多越好。我们的会员人数最近从700人增加到了750人。 Speaker 0：在你听到对话的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第二页的第六至第十题。 Speaker 0：现在听并回答第六至第十题。 Speaker 1：那很好。你们的广告说你们那里也有音乐人可以使用的设施。能详细说明一下吗？ Speaker 2：当然。嗯，地方不大，但我们有几个可以排练的房间。它们是隔音的。我们刚开了一个录音室，一个小型的。而且它已经很受那些想向演出场地和唱片公司发送样带的乐队欢迎了。 Speaker 1：哇。听起来太棒了。那是免费的吗？我猜不是。 Speaker 2：不。那是额外收费的。但我们确实有一些免费服务。例如，如果你需要合同之类的法律建议，我们可以提供。挺有用的东西，你知道的。 Speaker 1：太好了。那么如果我感兴趣，下一步是什么？我如何成为会员？ Speaker 2：嗯，很简单。只需给我们寄一封信，附上你的联系方式以及最近几个月内录制的录音。这样其他会员就能了解你演奏什么。 Speaker 1：你们在哪里办公？ Speaker 2：我们在马伯里基帕克斯街707号。 Speaker 1：基帕克斯怎么拼写？ Speaker 2：是K-I-P-P-A-X。 Speaker 1：有电子邮件地址吗？ Speaker 2：有。是music.talent@bsu.co.uk。 Speaker 1：Talent就是那个单词吗？ Speaker 2：是的。 Speaker 1：好的。最后一件事。 Speaker 0：第一部分结束。 第二部分 Speaker 3：第二部分。 Speaker 3：你将听到新南威尔士大学一位辅导员的讲话，他将介绍校园里一些有用的设施和服务。 Speaker 3：首先，你有时间看一下第11至第15题。 Speaker 3：现在仔细听，回答第11至第15题。 Speaker 4：大家好，欢迎来到新南威尔士大学。在今天的迎新会上，我首先要做的就是让大家熟悉环境。也就是说，告诉你们一些有用的设施和服务的位置。所以首先，请拿出你们进门时我们给的地图。地图是那张大的黄色纸。正如你们在地图上看到的，北在上方，南在下方，等等。哪边是北？嗯，看看我左边、你们右边的那扇窗户。看到升起的太阳了吗？那应该是东。所以北一定在我正后方。现在我们位于校园正门。娱乐设施在我的右手边，它的对面是学生中心。没有问题吗？很好。很简单，对吧？好的。今天早上大家都在学生餐饮服务处吃早餐了吗？食物好吃吗？是的。是的。我在开玩笑。我也在那里吃过。所以吃了那样的饭后，你一定很急着去看医生，对吧？嗯，我有好消息告诉你们。学生健康中心位于从这里正北大约半公里处。看看你们的地图。你们看到这栋楼东边的那条街，内德·凯利大道了吗？沿着那条路走大约500米，健康中心就在你的左边，第三个十字路口。我知道你们都是刚到，所以你们一定在想如何告诉家人你们安全到达了，多么想念家里的狗，以及你们已经需要更多钱了。如果你没有iPhone，你可能在想哪里可以找到电脑。嗯，我有好消息。如果你直接走出这扇门，沿着花园街走，你会看到互联网中心在你的左边，就在健身房旁边。开放时间贴在门上，电脑是免费的，但你必须带上你的学生证。就像我告诉每个人的，如果你需要任何帮助，你很可能在学生中心就能找到。你们看到学生中心和图书馆之间的那四栋楼了吗？那些是宿舍。南边的两栋是男生宿舍，北边的两栋是女生宿舍。好的。现在我很抱歉地告诉你们，大学一直在进行大量的维修和改造，而且还没有全部完成。所以你们的宿舍房间可能会有一些小问题。也许窗户打不开。也许空调不见了或者不工作。如果有任何问题，你可以去投诉办公室，它就在帕克街和克拉默街之间的教学楼旁边。告诉他们你的问题，他们应该会在你四年后毕业时修好。我在开玩笑，但请耐心等待。他们有很多小事需要处理。厌倦了学校的食物？没有？等一周再说。或者也许你只是需要在那些马拉松式的学习 sessions 中的深夜找个地方喝咖啡。不管怎样，你一定要去看看女生宿舍过去一点的那家小咖啡馆。他们有免费Wi-Fi，所以很多学生会带着咖啡和百吉饼在那里坐上几个小时来完成工作。 Speaker 3：在你听到谈话的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第16至第20题。 Speaker 3：现在听并回答第16至第20题。 Speaker 4：至于宿舍房间，我有一些坏消息和一些好消息。坏消息是房间很小，而且你可能至少要和另外三个学生共用空间。好消息是每个房间都有自己的浴室。和三个陌生人共用浴室有什么好的？好问题。好吧。那就叫它坏消息和更坏的消息。嘿，也许试试这个好消息。每个宿舍都有一个厨房。如果你想做零食或饭菜，你可以在那里做。你可以在任何校园便利店购买食物容器，这样你就可以把食物存放在厨房里。但提醒一句，你一定要在你的食物容器上写上你的名字。可悲的是，你的同学中有食物小偷。说到小偷，关于安全说几句。我的意思是，这是澳大利亚，我们确实有喝醉的丛林流浪汉在校园里游荡。你们每个人都会得到一把宿舍房间的钥匙。不要弄丢了。任何更换都需要你付钱，还要填一堆文件。繁文缛节。不过，你的钥匙不能打开宿舍的前门。每扇门的右边都有一个带数字的键盘。当你搬进去时，他们会告诉你进入大门的密码。请不要把密码告诉不住在宿舍里的人。让我想想。我有没有忘记什么？哦，是的。你们大多数人都不富裕，对吧？所以当你的衣服脏了，你不能就把它们扔掉买新的。这意味着你必须学会洗衣服。或者男士们，这意味着你们得赶紧结婚。如果你决定洗那些衣服而不是结婚，每个宿舍都有洗衣房。在哪里？哦，我差点忘了告诉你们。每个宿舍的洗衣房都在地下室。这次有一些真正的好消息，如果你是学生，它是免费的。不过，你必须自己买肥皂。洗衣房在11:30关门。既然我提到了11:30，请记住，宿舍大门在晚上11:30上锁。你的密码将不起作用。如果你想进去，你得叫夜班门卫。别担心。你可以在宿舍办公室拿到那个号码。是的。宿舍办公室和投诉办公室是同一个办公室。好了。在我们继续之前，有问题吗？ Speaker 3：第二部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查你的答案。 第三部分 Speaker 5：第三部分。 Speaker 5：你将听到两名大一学生，罗茜和马丁，讨论他们正在做的一个关于运动鞋的项目。 Speaker 5：首先，你有时间看一下第21至第26题。 Speaker 5：现在仔细听，回答第21至第26题。 Speaker 5：好的，马丁。在我们为项目的演示做准备之前，我们先讨论一下到目前为止我们做了什么。 Speaker 6：好的，罗茜。当导师给我们运动鞋这个项目主题时，我并不是很感兴趣，但我开始投入进去了。我基本上已经完成了研究阶段。 Speaker 5：我也是。起初，我不知道论文该写什么，所以我请教了一些高年级学生，他们给了我一些网站，我在上面找到了一些关于运动鞋的文章，得到了一些想法。 Speaker 6：是的。我在网上搜索了运动鞋的图片，并将它们应用到了我的研究中。这很有帮助。 Speaker 5：对。 Speaker 6：根据项目要求，我们必须为研究找到一个例子，我刚刚完成了这一部分。 Speaker 5：你用了什么例子？你说你想向导师借一个样品。 Speaker 6：那是我最初的想法，但我意识到也许导师希望我们自己做，而不是抄袭。然后我剪开了我的旧运动鞋，把它们分成不同的部分，这样我就可以仔细研究内部结构了。 Speaker 5：这是个好主意。 Speaker 6：然后我画了一个图表，可以精确地显示鞋子的每个部分。通过研究，我发现现在的运动鞋有了显著的改进。 Speaker 5：你是什么意思？ Speaker 6：例如，现在的设计师使用更好的原材料，这些材料不仅耐用，而且让脚部皮肤更容易呼吸。此外，他们也考虑了脚型因素，但他们忽略了脚部运动，而这对于运动员来说是至关重要的。 Speaker 5：有趣。我想我可以把这个加到论文里。 Speaker 6：好的。鉴于你到目前为止已经有了论文的大部分想法，我认为你可以主要完成项目的书面部分，我来负责演示的每一个细节。 Speaker 5：你觉得这样行吗？我没问题。比起做演示，我更喜欢书面工作。 Speaker 6：很好。我们下一步需要做什么？ Speaker 5：嗯，根据计划，我们将在下周三做一个演示。在那之前，我们必须完成导师留下的问卷，我想我们这周末可以搞定。 Speaker 6：好的。我们需要做一些面对面的访谈吗？ Speaker 5：导师说那是下一个作业的任务，不是这个。 Speaker 6：好的。那么关于演示。我记得在上次辅导课上，导师建议我们使用一些幻灯片来使演示更吸引人，但我还需要一个白板，因为我喜欢在必要时写字或画图。 Speaker 5：我们可以向导师求助。他可能有一个，可以借给我们。对。 Speaker 5：在你听到对话的其余部分之前，你有时间看一下第27至第30题。 Speaker 5：现在听并回答第27至第30题。 Speaker 5：嗯，马丁，我们一起过一遍论文的草稿，看看有没有需要修改的地方。 Speaker 6：好的，罗茜。我认为摘要部分对项目的主要思想进行了简洁准确的描述。 Speaker 5：它应该放在哪里？我想把它放在论文的结尾。你觉得呢？ Speaker 6：好主意。而且我认为结果部分详细描述了研究的成果，但我在想它是否应该直接放在研究部分的后面，因为它们密切相关。 Speaker 5：是的。我想那样更好。我会移动这一部分。然后是结论部分，我在想我是否用了太多其他学生可能难以理解的专业术语。 Speaker 6：你说得对。不是每个人都熟悉这个主题。 Speaker 5：所以我认为我们可以用直白的解释来代替它们。 Speaker 6：我同意。最后是讨论部分。我喜欢这一部分，因为它提出了一系列问题，我们可以在演示后与其他学生讨论。 Speaker 5：是的。但我认为这些问题看起来有点乱，需要更好地排序。也许我们可以把它们列成一个清单。 Speaker 6：好的。那样更好。 Speaker 5：好的。论文就这些了。现在我们谈谈演示。 Speaker 5：第三部分结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查第三部分的答案。 第四部分 Speaker 7：第四部分。 Speaker 7：你将听到一场关于催产素与信任的讲座的一部分。 Speaker 7：首先，你有时间看一下第31至第40题。 Speaker 7：现在仔细听，回答第31至第40题。 Speaker 7：信任的发展是一种重要的社会工具，使人们能够在职业和个人层面建立富有成效和有意义的关系。信任在友谊、爱情、家庭和组织中不可或缺，并在经济交换和政治中扮演关键角色。最近的许多证据表明，信任有助于经济、政治和社会的成功。当我们与陌生人接触时，例如与初次见面的客户做生意，我们对他们的信任只能依赖于他们的善意。因此，通过我们自己的判断或他人的评价，我们可以大致了解这个陌生人是否值得信任。信任之所以重要，是因为它是所有人际关系发展的基础。没有信任，就不可能有关系。信任可以是自然而然的，也可以是表现出来的。如果你在生活中找到了如此程度的信任，那么你很幸运。而且，你总可以指望他们在所有（如果不是大部分）人生险境中保护你。信任很重要，因为如果你不信任某人，那么他们就是不可靠的。信不信由你，减少遭受贫困的机会就是要理解信任，因为当你信任他人时，你可以获得更多的支持和资源。然而，我们信任他人的能力因人而异，就像不同的人识别面孔的能力不同一样。信任的纽带也极其脆弱。一次背叛行为，例如婚外情，可以瞬间抹去多年的值得信赖的行为。这种信任破裂的后果可能是灾难性的，而且不仅仅是对一段关系而言。研究表明，催产素如何在信任被破坏后促进社会互动，其方式可能是降低与社会风险相关的防御机制，并克服对未来行为适应至关重要的负面反馈。幸运的是，我们体内的催产素有能力激发人与人之间的信任。这种化学物质在人与人之间发生互动时就会释放。为了研究社会互动，经济学家以及最近的神经科学家利用了一个简单的实验。两名参与者玩所谓的信任游戏。第一个参与者面临一个决定：是保留一笔钱，还是与第二个参与者分享，而第二个参与者没有义务归还这笔钱。如果第二个人归还，他会得到更多的钱。在这个游戏中，第一个人面临一个重要的社会困境：信任还是不信任。虽然信任更有利可图，但这样做会使投资者面临被背叛的风险。信任并不是两个人初次见面时自然发生的事情。它涉及一个过程。一个人必须向另一个人展示值得信赖的品质。这可以通过特定的行为和沟通来实现。因此，信任是有条件的。人们不应该认为这是理所当然的。催产素不仅存在于人类体内。动物也有这种天赋，当它们相互合作时就可以看到。例如，猴子体内的催产素使它们能够合作寻找食物和对抗敌人。根据纳什均衡博弈论，第一个参与者会在不期望第二个参与者改变决定的情况下做出他最好的决定。第二个参与者也会这样做。所以结果取决于对方的决定。这个游戏和我们刚才讨论的类似。一个人体内的催产素水平并非保持不变。研究发现，承受巨大压力的人催产素水平会更高。催产素能显著增加人类之间的信任，从而大大增加社会互动的收益。还需要注意的是，催产素对信任的影响并非源于承担风险意愿的普遍增加。相反，催产素特别影响个体接受人际互动中产生的社会风险的意愿。总而言之，催产素就像一种社会粘合剂，有助于社会联系。需要进一步的研究来探索催产素与信任，以及这种激素如何被用来加强我们对他人的信任，甚至治疗与社会行为缺陷特别相关的精神障碍。接下来，我们将讨论……
