Section B
听力原文:W: Stan, do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up?
W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
W : That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?
W: No, not yet, but someone's going to have to.
M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help. Can we?
W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When TAs have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, rather a small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.
M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?
M: Sure, Let's go.

Memory Class
Stan Field knows what age can do to a person's memory, and he's not taking any chances with his. He chooses his food carefully and gets plenty of exercise. He also avoids stress, coca cola and cigarette smoke. What's more, at breakfast each morning, the 69-year-old chemical engineer swallows a plateful of pills in the hope of boosting his brain power.
Michelle Arnove is less than half Field's age, but no less concerned about her memory. While working round the clock to finish a degree in film studies, the 33-year-old New Yorker had the alarming sensation that she had stopped retaining anything. "I couldn't even remember names," she says. "I thought, 'Oh no, I'm over 30. It's all downhill from here'." Besides loading up on supplements, Arnove signed up for a memory-enhancing course at New York's Mount Siani Medical Center. And when she got there, she found herself surrounded by people who were just as worried as she was.
For millions of Americans, and especially for baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), the demands of the Information Age conflict with a sense of declining physical power. "When boomers were in their 3os and 40s, they launched the fitness boom," says Cynthia Green, the psychologist who teaches Mount Sinai's memory class. "Now we have the mental-fitness boom. Memory is the boomers' new life-crisis Issue." And of course a major marketing opportunity. The demand for books and seminars has never been greater, says Jack Lannom, a longtime memory trainer whose weekly TV show, "Mind Unlimited," goes out to 33 million homes on the Christian Network. Anxious consumers are rushing to buy do-it-yourself programs and supplement makers are trying to sell everything but sawdust (木屑) as a brain booster.
But before you get out your checkbook, a few questions are In order. Does everyday forgetfulness signal declining brain function? Is "megamemory" (超级记忆) a realistic goal for normal people? And if you could have a perfect memory, would you really want it? Until recently, no one could address those issues with much authority, but our knowledge of memory is exploding. New techniques are revealing how different parts of the brain, interact to preserve meaningful experiences. Biologists are trying to understand the underlying (潜的) chemical processes and neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) are discovering how age, stress and other factors can disrupt them. No one is close to finding the secret to perfect recall, but as you'll see, that may be just as well.

听力原文:W: Hi, Stan, where have you been?
M: Oh, just at the Student Union office trying to see if I can catch you there. I also tried to find out if professor Steinfield has any old exams from years ago.
W: Why don't you just ask me? I took that class last semester and aced it.
M: Yeah... you ace all your subjects. But the exams change from year to year, don't they?
W: True, but the style. is pretty much the same from year to year.
M: So tell me about the process of prostaglandin. I can barely even pronounce it, let alone explain it.
W: Hey, I am no expert but what she'll be mainly looking for is that you know how it affects the digestion, reproduction, and immune systems.
M: What kind of question might she ask?
W: Well, for example, you'll probably have to say how prostaglandin, if over-produced, can give you headaches and fevers and stuff.
M: Talk about headaches. I think I 'm getting one now. Can you give me an aspirin? Well, I am sure it's this Biology class that's doing it.
W: Hey, I've heard you are no slouch at poetry. You get me through my course in 19th century poetry and I'll make you an expert in Biology.
M: It's a deal. Where shall we begin? Poetry is up my alley.
