SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： Tonight we'll talk about one approach to structuring decision-making on a specific topic, that is, AHP, or Analytic Hierarchy Process.

The first step is to develop a hierarchy by breaking the problem down into its components, and then prioritizing them. The important thing is not the mathematics of it so much as the concept.

Let's say, if I was trying to buy a house, I start with my main goal. And then I break it down into smaller parts. I would have to determine the goal for the house- hunting effort. Well, let's just say, make the best choice in buying a new house, that's the goal.

Now that you've established a goal, you establish your criteria. Under criteria I would list what were the important factors that will influence the decision, things like the cost, location, floor plan or the layout of the rooms.

Then I get down to the subcriteria under each of these criteria. Let's say, under floor plan, the subcriteria are, you want a big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a basement. After you've determined all the criteria and subcriteria, you go back and start making pair wise comparisons between them.

You move through the hierarchy making judgments about one pair of choices at a time. So AHP requires you to develop a schematic model of what you're looking for. And when you start comparing them, it enables you to come up with the relative importance of each factor at a given level. It not only helps make the best decision, you're also a lot clearer on why you made the decision.

What is the talk mainly about？

A．A comparison of two approaches to decision-making.

B．A formula for evaluating business plans.

C．A process for improving decision-making.

D．A method for gaining consensus within groups.

my interest for years. People usually smile when she says it, and I have always smiled, too. But I think I' m just now beginning to understand the meaning of the saying. Quite recently I thought how close in meaning it is to a statement Thornton Wolder made in his play Our Town. Toward the end of the play, Emily, one of the main characters in the play, says, "I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed!... Do any human beings ever realize while they live it -- every ,every minute？" Older people, looking back, can appreciate youth, its real meaning and importance, but young people, while they are in the middle of their youth, never fully realize what they have. An older person recognizes his increasing age by making comparisons to his youth. "I'm not as young as I was. Better slow down. "he says to himself. The importance of youth, the energy and excitement of it, is realized only after it is gone. Thus, it seems to me my aunt is right. Youth is wasted on the young. Babies should be old and gray-haired when they' re born. Only after many years should they be permitted to enjoy their youth.

By saying "The youth is wasted on the youth" , the writer means that ______.

A．most older people regret not being young now

B．people didn't do anything important when they were young

C．when the importance of youth is realized, everything is gone

D．young people seem to know little about the value of the youth
