Conversation One
M: Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line.
W: Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.
M: Distance learning? Never heard of it.
W: Well, it's new this semester. (1) It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on elsewhere. Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.
M: Well, what is it?
W: It's an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.
M: Don't you ever have to meet with professor?
W: Yeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.
M: (2) It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.
W: (3) You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the program.
M: Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or try this out.
W: (4) The only thing is: doesn't it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.
M: Well, I guess that's why phone contact's important. Any way, it's an experiment.
W: Maybe I'll end up hating it.
M: Maybe. But I'll be curious to see how it works up.
1. What's the view of the woman about the distance-learning course?
2. How does the man feel about the distance-learning course?
3. Why was the distance-learning program offered to psychology majors?
4. What's the woman's concern about the program?
对话一
男：嗨，林恩。我昨天在登记处见到你了。我正好路过那里，但是你正在排长队。
女：是的。我为了注册一个远程课程等了一个小时。
男：远程课程？从来没听说过。
女：嗯，它是这学期新开的。它只对心理学专业开放。但是我打赌它不久就会面向其他专业开放。昨天一百多位学生注册了这个课程。
男：哇！它是关于什么的？
女：它是一个实验课程。我注册了儿童心理学。我只需看一部为期十二个月的系列电视课程。系里会在七个不同的地点，一天七次滚动播放这个课程。
男：你必须和教授见面吗？
女：是的。学习过系列课程的每个部分后，我必须和教授还有其他同学通过电话讨论想法。这之后，我们还要在校园进行三次当堂复习，然后考试。
男：在我看来，这很非传统。但我想这是有道理的，考虑到那么多的学生都找到了工作。 这样的课程安排方便学生们安排自己的时间表，更不用说会大大减小交通的压力了。
女：你知道吗，去年我们系里做了一个调查，他们发现有百分之八十的心理专业的学生都找到了工作。这就是为什么他们提出了这样的课程安排。
男：看，下学期我一周要工作三天，而学校既没有减少我的课程，甚至没有尝试减少。
女：只有一点：这样似乎没有人情味？我的意思是，我还是怀念，在课堂上讨论和听取他人的想法。
男：嗯，我猜想这就是电话联系很重要的原因。无论如何，这会只是试验。
女：可能到最后我会很讨厌这种方式。
男：有可能。但是我很好奇它到底效果如何。

习题答案解析
参考答案：
【小题1】B
【小题2】D
【小题3】C
【小题4】A
习题解析：
【小题1】女士说她排了一个小时的队报名注册远程课程，男士说对此课程尚未听闻。女士解释道这种课程目前只面向心理学专业的学生开设，但她坚信以后这样的课程会流行起来，也就是说会面向其他专业开设，故选 B。
【小题2】男士听完女对此课程的描述后说这个深程听起来令他感到很新鲜（non-traditional），他认为远程课程的出现是合情理的，因为很多学生在职，课时安排灵活，更不用说可以省去交通费用了。选项 C 后半句是正确的，但对话未提到远程课程的费用是多少，所以无法推测出学费昂贵，故排除 C，选 D。
【小题3】女士说去年她们学院去年做了一次调查研究，结果发现选修这门课程的心理学专业学生 80%都找到了工作，因此这门课的远程课程便应运而生，也就是说，因为这个课程能帮助学生找到工作，所以设立了这门课的远程课程，故选 C。
【小题4】女士对远程课程很赞成，但有一点担心的是她觉得远程学习似乎有些没有人情味，缺乏课堂讨论以及与其他同学的交流，故选 A。
