So, that’s why I like to have several short assignments.Task 3The university decides to have music performance on every Friday night. And thewoman thinks that it is cool. First, she can perform on the performance. Second, shecan practice to be relax on a performance, e.g. talk to the audience. Third, all theenrolledstudents may enjoy the performance for free. 3。阅读：学校的咖啡店要停掉，每周五晚举办musician performance, 正在搭建台子，学生的表演和观看积极性都很高。听力：女学生说太好了，第一，她是个音乐家，弹吉他又唱歌，这样的话给像她这样的学生提供了表演机会，练习在观众前放松表演，还有怎么用麦克风什么的。第二，音乐会是免费的，这样的话好多学生可以不用担心负担不起。男声基本上就随声附和...Coffee shop on campus plan to have live music performed by students on Friday nightstarted next month; the store manager believed that student will largely participate inboth performance and attendance for the concert.The female student would like toparticipate playing guitar and singing. This kind of live music in this areacost a lot;compared to that, the coffee shop provides affordable live music experience.The café in the campus is planning to put on a musician performance on every Friday, themanager believe that this measure is to attract lots of students to participate because that theycould be the performer and the audience both, besides, there is no tickets charge.In the conversation, the woman thinks this is great because she herself is a musician, by then,lots of student like her would have an opportunity to perform on a stage, to practice how to relaxin front of the audience and how to use the microphone. What’s more, the concert is totally freeof charge, so there is no need for the students to worry about money, they can just enjoy.Task 44。阅读：behavior preference,就是说很多情况下人们相信什么事，即使过后知道这是不对的，但是还会继续做...听力：教授以自己经验告诉大家，小时候妈妈说如果不穿暖和了就不让出去...要不然会感冒，但是，长大后才知道是感冒病毒引起感冒，并不是温度，冬天感冒几率反而最小，虽然知道是错的，但是还是继续执行，而且还让他的孩子冬天出去时也要穿得暖暖的。第四题：阅读：关于 brief preservation,听力：教授举了自己小时候母亲让他穿厚夹克以防止感冒，等他长大后发现感冒是由于接触病毒引起的，冬天反而不容易感冒，但他依旧教育自己的孩子多穿厚夹克是为了预防感冒Belief perseverance有些人hold belief on available information, even though the information is false.阅读举例说妈妈告诉小孩天冷穿夹克保暖可以防感冒，可是小孩长大后知道感冒是因为病毒引起，可是他还是会对自己的孩子说天冷穿夹克，如果孩子问他为什么，他还是会说可以防感冒。Belief perseverance. Believe is based on available information; even the informationis proved to be wrong, people still hold the same belief. i.e. speaker was told by his mom that if he does not wear jacket, hat, and gloves in the winter and go outdoors, hewould catch the cold. When he grew up, he understands that winter is least possible tocatch cold because the cold virus, the reason for getting cold, is less in winter.However, he still told his son to wear jacket, hat, and gloves before going out of thehouse.The reading passage talks about a theory of belief preference, which means that oncepeople hold on what they believe, it is unlikely for them to change the beliefs evenwhen they acknowledge the fact which can prove there are flaws in their beliefs.In the lecture, the professor gives an example of his own to prove the theory. When hewas young, he was told to keep warm in winter because the cold weather will causehim to catch a cold, later he finds out that it is the cold virus that will cause the illnessyet he still believes that it is necessary for him to keep warm outside in the winter tokeep away from catching a cold, he also tell his children the same thing too.Task 5The woman has a problem that she planned to go to a ski class on Sunday night, buther cousin telephoned her to visit and to have a dinner together. The man's suggestion:1. ask her cousin if she can change her schedule; 2. (not sure) just attend a part of theski class.女生想参加ski ship但是她的亲戚周六要来。男生建议她1.让她的亲戚改到周五来，但女生觉得这回让亲戚觉得不好2.让女生周日再来参加ski ship，但女生认为这会影响她返回的时间男女生讨论周末学校的ski trip,女生说她很想去，但是cousin周六要来找她。男生给了两了suggestions，第一，让她cousin周五来，这样的话周六日可以去ski；第二，让女生只参加部分ski trip，周日自己开到山上。女生的problem: she plans to go to the ski triporganized by ski club for the entireweekend. However, her cousin will come to town the same weekend and plan to havedinner with her on Saturday evening. She does not want to miss either of it.男生的两个solution: 1) talk to the cousin directly to see if theycan reschedule thedinner plan to Friday evening, then she can have dinner with the cousin on Friday andgo skiing on both Sat and Sun. But the woman is worried to offend her cousin byrescheduling with her.2) She can go to part of the trip. She can havediner with the cousin on Sat evening,and drive to the ski place on Sun. But the woman is concerned that she will not haveenough time to enjoy skiing with the club members. The woman in the conversation is facing a time conflict that she planned to take a ski class onSunday night, however, her cousin called her that he would pay her a visit and dine with her. Hisfriend suggests her that she could tell her cousin to visit on Friday, but she thinks that would notbe fair for her cousin, or she can take part of the class and the man can go by himself.I suggest that the woman should take the first solution, because that if she came back from the skiclass on Saturday, she might be tired and she won’t take good care of the guest, so neither sidewould be happy, her friend, nor her cousin, besides, I think she could just call her cousin back toexplain the situation very clearly, and I’m sure that he will understand and rearrange the time tosuit for everybodys’ schedule.Task 6Human’s activities threaten the marine environment. 2. The trees which may hold theshadow are cutting down by people, and the sunshine makes the sea lack of oxygen,so it increases the temperature which makes fishes die.关于人类行为如何影响native fish。第一，人类为了船运，连接了好多湖和海，引进了新鱼群，或大型的海鱼，有的会变成native fish的predator，降低native fish的数量；第二，改变了湖的温度。人类为了造房而伐树，但是本来树是可以遮阳，从而降低湖水温度的，低温的湖水会带来更多的氧气，但是现在氧气减少了，native fish就会窒息而死。In the lecture, the professor point out that fresh water ecological system has beenchanged due to human activities, which endanger the native fish species by two ways.First, he talks about that by building canals connecting the ocean and the lake wouldintroduce the new species from the ocean to the fresh water system, and therefore, thenew spices could be the natives’ threat.Then he points out the environment of the fresh water ecological system which thenative fish need to survive is changed by the human activities, for example. When thetrees around the lake are cut off, there is no more shade covered the water, then thewater will lack in oxygen which the fish need due to the raise of the temperature, andthese could cause the death of the fishes.2010年03月12日 北美托福口语机经口语Task 1is it beneficial for the student to have computers?I believe that computer is becoming more and more important to the student, here are my reasons. In 21 century, it is very hard to receive the massive information without a computer, if I need tostfind information that I need, I might take a hole day, looking for them in lots of places, or I couldjust sit down, google it, download some documents while enjoying a cup of coffee.What’s more, now computers are becoming more important with the social network built up, weneed to check our mails, our facebook news and the latest notice published by our schools, it’svery hard to catch up if we don’t have one.So, that why I believe that computers are very important for us.Task 2版本1：你是否会一直表达你的真实意见，即便你知道这个意见可能不被认同。key words: honest opinion.personally I would be honest always, because of these reasons,First, honest, I believe,is one of the most important character of a person, it helps you to build agood reputation among your friends, everybody likes an honest people, so being honest, I can livewith less burden and I will have a good relationship with my friends.Second, being honest can make life much more easier, being frankly to people, no fancy words,just tell the honest thought of myself, and by that, misunderstanding is reduced,Task 3cleanup day 学校要招volunteers 分成几个小组给学校做卫生，这一天结束后有个party，给大家用餐。lecture：男的positive attitude 1.他觉得这样不仅对当天有好处，对将来的环境也好，volunteer的同学看到他们这么做也就不会乱仍东西了 2.结束后开个party很好，可以attract students，并且encourage 大家。The school is planning to encourage student to volunteer to clean the school, and after the cleaning,there will be a party and everybody will enjoy supper together.In the conversation, the man agree with the school’s idea, he thinks that it will not only make itone good day, but have a longer effect on the future, that when people see there work, litters willreduce and therefore environment will be protected, also, he thinks that it is great to have a partyto reward the students taken part in the cleaning because it can encourage the people and attractstudents to take part.Task 44老师经常用stimulus reduction的方法是学生远离分散学习注意力的事情。举了个例子，他在elementary school 当老师的时候，有个学生靠窗坐，他总往窗外看，注意力很不集中，后来老师就把作为调了，让那个学生远离窗户，那个学生就集中注意力了，而且学习成绩也好了。 In this set of material, the reading passage introduced stimulus reductionHe then gives an example, that when he was a teacher at an elementary school, there was a studentwho sat near the window, he kept looking outside and won’t focus on the class, then he switchedhis seat from the window, and the student begin to concentrate on the class, thenhis gradesimproved.Task 5.男的的问题是：他明天要表演个opera，关于莎士比亚的，但是他的partner catcha cold不能来了，这个表演占总成绩的分数，所以很重要。女的给的2个solution：1.和professor谈谈，reschedule，这样他的partner就能recovery了。2.他的partner带病坚持来The man is going to perform in an opera of Shakespear tomorrow, however, his partner catches acold and will not able to perform with him, this show is very important because the result of theshow will be part of the grade, the woman gives him 2 possible solutions, he can go talk to theprofessor about the situation to rearrange the time schedule, so he can wait for his partner torecover and perform together, or he can ask his partner to perform anyway.Personally, I believe the man should go talk to the professor because I’m sure the professor willunderstand the man’s situation an change the time ofthe show, besides, even if his partner performwith him, the quality of the show will be lower, and the grades won’t be good of course.Task 6版本1：动物群居,有2种1,复杂的社会关系,比如,大象,一个生病或受伤,其他的帮忙照顾,管水管饭, 2, 简单关系,也是一群一伙的,可互不帮忙,如鱼,一大群,互相都不认识,也分不清是不是一伙的版本2：两种social group。一个是有互动，例如大象群，其中一个病了，其他大象会照顾它。另一种group没互动，例如鱼群，他们不但没互动，甚至彼此都不能识别。In the lecture, the professor talks about the two kinds of social group of animal,The first one is the group with interaction, he then gives an example of the group ofthe elephants, if one of them is sick, the others will help it.The second one is the group without interaction, he gives an example as well, thefishes, not only they don’t have interaction, but they hardly know each other.2009年09月11日 北美托福口语机经1、describe one way of life in your country has been changed and why it is beneficial I think one the change in China is the usage of the internet. I remember the figure ofthe internet user in China in 2000 was only 50 million. But, surprisingly, this figurehas soared to 500 million with only ten years. Actually, the internet brings manychanges in people’s life in every aspect. For example, almost each university libraryin China has equipped with the internet. It is helpful for students’ study. They can findmore information faster than ever. Another example is the usage of internet in sociallife. People now in China are using internet to send emails, chat on-line, and theyeven find a blind date on internet.2、你倾向于什么时候完成事情：是喜欢刚开始就准备还是到了due day 才开始准备，原因I prefer preparing in advance.First, I am a well-organized person. So if I have a plan, it takes time for me to prepareeverything before it happens. I think this is helpful especially when I have many otherworks to do at the same time. If I prepare first, I would feel less stressful.Second, if I prepare first, I can have time to cope with the emergency. For example, Ionce wrote an essay for my history class with my laptop, but my laptop just brokewhen I was about to finish that paper. So I had to rewrite that essay, and it wasfrustrating.3、[阅读]学校有通知，要求新生参加学习小组，学校认为这样做有两个好处：1）帮助学生掌握学习技巧2）让学生结交新的朋友[听力]女生不同意，认为1）很多学生已经知道怎么样学习，这样做会浪费时间2）学生都是在一个教室上课，迟早会认识成为朋友的，不需要通过在图书馆加入学习小组认识新的朋友In the dialogue, the woman disagrees with reading passage which states that theuniversity requires the new students to participate in the study discussion group. Shestates two reasons for her idea.First, she thinks that many of the new students have already learned some learningskills, so it would be waste of time for them to take part in the discussion group.Second, she thinks that the students will become friends finally because they study inthe same class. So it is unnecessary for them to make friends with each other by thediscussion group. 4 动物都有maintain自己的方法，有的时候他们的群体会保持同一个规模大小（size），以防止外部威胁，有的时候调整群体的规模（adjust size）获取资源，然后听力里给了大猩猩的例子，他们晚上睡觉的时候都是100 个左右在一起，规模基本很稳定，防止别的动物攻击，但是白天觅食的时候会分成小规模去不同的地方。5 男生因为搬家伤了后背，所以想换个工作，原来是在书店搬运重物到书架。两个选择：1）继续留在书店当收银员，但是会和他的study meeting时间上有冲突2）是去cafeteria 洗盘子，但是钱少。The man has a problem that he wants to change another job because he hurt his backwhen working in the book store. There are two solutions for him.First, he can still work in the shop but play as a receptionist there. Second, he can finda job in acafeteria and wash the dishes there.Personally, I prefer the first one. I think he has already hurt his back, so it would getworse if he washes dishes, which is very exhausting. Besides, I think he can talk tothe boss about his working schedule so thathe can avoid the time conflict with hisstudy meeting.6、社会的稳定性由两种形式形成，一是人们从事同一个种类的工作，这样大家有共同的作息时间，共同的关注点等；另一个是从事不同种类的工作，做出不同的贡献，人们相互依赖，从而形成稳定性。In the lecture, the professor talks about the two forms in which the society keepsstable.The first form he introduces is that people in a society can do the same kind of job. Bydoing so, they can share the same working schedule and share the same interest at thesame time.The second for he introduces is that people can do the different kinds of job. By doingso, people can rely on each other because they make different contributions to thesociety.2010年02月13日 北美托福口语机经1 在学校里喜欢什么活动For myself, I’d like to say that in school, I like to go to the students’ club a lot, it is alittle place consisting a small pub, a meeting room, and a basement.

I think the best way is to go print the document again, because that though the class isabout to begin and he can’t reach on time, but whenhe show up, he can explain toeverybody, that I think people would understand, for this thing do happen, what’ more,if the documents are needed in the class, and he didn’t get it, what’s the point inreaching the class on time?6,鸟窝的两种搭建方式，一个把巢建的高高的，藏起来。另一种让母的在家看小鸟，公的去找食物什么没太清楚。The professor introduced 2 ways to set up a nestthe first one is to build it high and hide it on the treethe second one is that to leave the female in the nest to look after the younglings2010年02月27日 北美托福口语机经（两个版本）版本一1描述一个你已经会的技能但还需要提高，用什么方法提高I would like to say that I am a mountain hiker, and I have learned some essential skills,like how

experience.2同意不同意广告对人们的有影响I agree with the statement that advertisement will affect people, I agree because ofthese two reasons.It is said that people tend to believe whatever they are told, that they learn what theadvertisement tell, like if the ad says the products are nice, people will get the idea intheir subconcious, just like inception.What’s more, the ad provides informations that people need, if a person saw an ad of acertain kind of wine, he might think that it is what he needs, so he might buy it.3 阅读说学校对theatre专业的有新要求take a trip off campus，看专业的product，要花35元。女的问男的态度，男的很欢迎，说对理解有帮助，花钱也不多，花3次的钱可以看一次免费的。In the reading passage, the school is offering a trip off campus for the students major in theatre, at a charge of 35 dollarsIn the conversation, the man is very happy for the announcement, he thinks that it ishelpful for the understanding for the theatre4文章讲一个概念impact of bias， 第一会影响人的决定，另外如果发生其他不同的事件会让人recovery，听力以他女儿为例是高中学生，因为她很多同学在一个学校，听说那个学校教育好，她就很想去，但最后没去成，她很难过，但当她度了一个summer vacation，她又不难过，决定去另外一个学校。The reading material introduced a principle, impact of bias, it wil have an effect onpeople to make their decision, and in the lecture, the instructor gives am example ofhis daughter that she is a high school student, lots of her classmates are in a school,she heard that it is a good school, so she want to attend to that school, but in the end,she failed to, she was sad but when she had a summer vacation, she was not sadanymore, she decided to go to another school5 一个学生钥匙拉在宿舍，他的历史课的paper也在房间，历史课还有两个小时开始，他自己提出两个方法，一个找教授谈谈，女的说也许教授能理解，但男的上次的paper也推迟交，这次又推迟，会让老师觉得他不是个责任感强的人，另外一个方法找管理员开门，时间还充裕但是得花钱。The student left his key at the dorm room, and his paper of the history as well, thereare two hours left until the history class, so he came up with two ideas, first, he can gotalk to the professor, and his friend thinks that it is acceptable to the professor, but thelast paper of him is delayed as well, he think that he should find somebody to open thedoor for him however that cost money.In my view,he should take the second solution, I think that he understands that hisreputation worth much more then a few bucks, I think that he can’t let the professordown again, if he hand over his paper right on time, he would give his professor agood imression6两种不能在水里呼吸的动物如何在水里捕食（讲陆地生物怎么对付水下缺氧的办法），一个是降低body function，降低心率减少需氧量（在水底静止不动少消耗氧气等待猎物游过来），提到一个动物为例，忘了，另外一个办法是减少呆在水下的时间，一种鸟盘旋在水上，看见鱼后迅速潜入水中（向水里俯冲迅速捕鱼），身上的皮肤好像有一个功能阻止离地太远。补充：讲了两种 ways animals dealing with the problem of unable to breathunderwater. 一种是slow down their body function, 举的例子是某个动物（忘记叫 什么了==）它在stay still，等着有鱼过来，这样就reduce对oxygen的消耗；第二种是减少在水里呆着的时间，有一种 brown 什么的鸟儿，现在天上飞着，看见鱼就dive down，然后它们有个特殊的功能还是器官什么的，能让它们不那么快浮上来(这个听的不是特别清楚><)the lecture talks about how the creatures live on land to deal with the problem thatthey need oxygen under water, the professor tells two solutions,first, to slow the heart beat, then he gives an example of _______The another way is to reduce the time in the water, he then stated another example ofa certain kind of bird that it circling up above the water, and when they see the fish, itwill dive in the water very quickly.版本二：第一题出国读大学的好处.第二题是自己开车好还是坐公交好.第三题政策是学校在期末期间将延长cafeteria营业时间.结果那男的竟然同意!!我是按照不同意打的草稿,杯具.还好改起来也容易.男的说好,一是因为学生都在复习没精力煮饭,又不能老是简单对付,所以有吃的买当然好.二是以前晚上想和同学小组讨论一起复习都没地方,只好去学校外面找地方,现在可以去cafeteria.第四题阅读是讲当你遇到陌生人,当时发生在你身上的positive and negative因素会影响你们最终会否成为朋友.教授的两个例子第一个是他搬家后进入新的社区,被邀请到一个party,人们都很好,他跟其中一个人聊了特别久,因为他们喜欢相同的电影和书,又都喜欢棒球,还在同一支棒球队打球什么的.最终他们成为了很好的朋友.第二个例子是有一天教授在花园里料理花草,他的邻居也在自己的花园里,他们站在那聊了一会,但是当时教授头很痛,所以对他们的谈话没什么兴趣.邻居邀请教授去他家玩,教授最终也没去.第五题那男生的问题是他的心理课有小组讨论,他的小组的习惯是每周到一个组员家里,那个组员煮饭给大家吃,然后一起讨论.这周轮到他但是他忘了,现在已经来不及煮饭了.两个解决方案一是买餐厅的外卖带回家,但那男的又说这样贵,自己前段时间已经花了很多钱了.二是打电话给大家叫他们晚点来,自己赶快回家弄点简单的东西,又怕大家等的饿,还会影响饭后的讨论.第六题是生物的mimicry,说很多昆虫都有,mimicry能保护昆虫.例子一是一种苍蝇本身没有任何可以保护自己的武器,但是它的外表看上去很厉害,so the predator think it is dangerous.就不会吃它.例子二是一种蛾,it looks like the predator,所以predator看到它以为是同类也不会吃它.2009年10月17日 北美托福口语机经1、最近你感兴趣的新闻或是故事Describe a news or a story that you are interested in recently. And explain why youthink it was interesting. Include reasons and details in your response.I am interested in the new series movies recently. I am a big fan ofnovel series of and I never missed any of the series. But I neverwatched the movie before. I heard that those fantastic films are produced based on thestory written in the novel < Harry Porter>. Therefore, I really want to watch the movieand find the differences between the films and the novels. Besides, I heard that somepart of the story in the novel were cut in order to make the film, So I am interested inreading the book and figure out what they are.Recently, the tales of the aliens got me, ufos, the conspiracy, the freemasons 2012…the story of thes mysterious events are quite interesting for me, because they seemstrue, according to the legend, in 2012, there will be mass disasters and the aliens arecoming to rescue the people on earth, I love these because I always believe that lifeshould be full of changes, adventures, and discovers, and these stories is what I want.Besides, when I’m read these, and can learn lots of thing, astronomy, physics, history,art, even religion.2、对一门课的检测，大家更愿意考试还是交一篇文章。Some students prefer to take a essay question where they must write an essay to aquestion. Other students prefer to take a test with objective questions. Which type ofexam question do you prefer? Give reasons and examples in your explanation.Personally, I prefer writing an essay to a question. The reason is that I think studentscan learn more skills of the independent thinking skill from an essay. It means youhave to collect the materials, organize it and then express it in your own words. Thewhole processes can enhance one’s learning skills. Take myself for example, I ammajored in literature. So actually, there is no write answer about a specific questionand it means nothing if you just memorize something. So I think if I write an essay, Ican learn more critical thinking from that and that is the essential skill I should havefor my major.Personally, I’d pick an essay, I think the quality of an essay can represent the student’s level of knowledge rather than taking a test, here are my reasons.First, writing an essay requires a long-term work, the researching, thinking, analyzingtakes time to finish, it is easy to find whether the student take their time on studying.Second, it’s convenient for the students, if somebody got sick on their test day, all thehard work he paid is gone, or , if somebody cheats during the test, it’s unfair for theothers.Above all, I think to take an essay is a better way.3、公告：学校要在宿舍开餐厅学生同意。理由1：有利于大家交流学习。理由2：给大家提供了另外一个吃饭的地方。The school is planning to open a cafeteria in the dorm considering it is bringing two benefits tothe students, first, they will have a place to discuss on their assignments, and they will havesome place to eat.4、说广告营销策略的：speaker说他本来不想买制冰激凌机，觉得那很麻烦。后来有一天看到广告，广告把每一步骤都说得很清楚，他觉得很容易，所以就买了一台回家。说广告molding的作用。In the lecture, the professor uses his own example to illustrates how the molding isused in advertising. In the example, the professor mentions the he didn’t want to buy aice-cream maker at first because he thinks that the process is so complicated. But oneday when he came across an advertisement of an ice cream maker which illustratedevery process of the how to use it in a very detailed way, he just changed his mind. Hethoughtthe process was not as much complicated as before. So he just bought theice-cream maker and made the ice cream by himself.In these set of material, the reading passage introduces a term, advertising strategy, whichmeans__________________In the lecture, the professor gives an example of himself to show the students how the moldingis used in advertising: at first, he doesn’t want to buy the ice-cream machine because he thinksit is very complicated to make ice cream by himself, the other day he read the advertise bychance which indicate the details of how to use the machine step by step, then he thinks that it iseasy, so he bought on5、情况：女生有一幅画，要参加从今晚开始为期2个月的艺术展，但女生把画落在家里了。 两个选择：1）现在去拿来得及展出，但会错过下午的review。2）她妈妈说可以给她送过来，但得明天，因为她妈妈今天要上班。教授说可以 明天再展出。但该女生的朋友今晚来看展览，如果明天展览就不看到她的画 了。In the dialogue, the woman has a problem that her pictures is supposed to be presentin the exhibition tonight butshe left them at her home. There are three solutions forher.First, she can go back home and take them immediately but she will miss the reviewin the afternoon.Second, her mother can help her to bring the pictures tomorrow and she can presentthem then.Personally, I prefer the second solution.

Or, she can applya special permission to reserve an extra room, however, it will charge more of course.In my concern, I think she should stay in her friend’s place, for in the summer break,the campus would have few people left, and she might feel lonely if she stay in thebuilding with only herself, and as for the party, I believe that her friend is not going toparty everyday, and even if there is one, she can work at the lab to finish the job, evengo to the party for a refreshment.Task5 心理学：孩子玩游戏的功能1）help self control，因为孩子总是helpless，听从爸妈的指挥，然后就不会control自己了2）孩子通过玩游戏满足一种毁灭的愿望，因为发泄在其他方面会使父母upset。以building tower这个游戏为例子：孩子们盖完楼又毁了，就是发泄、destruction的行为The lecture talks about two functions of children to play games, the first one is thatplaying help the kids to learn self control, for when they are helpless, and alwayslooking for help from their parents, and there they can’t control themselves.The other one is that the kids play games to satisfy their desire of destruction, and ifthey express the desire in an other way, the parents would be upset, an example ofbuilding tower well explained the theory that the kids build up a tower and thendestroy it, this is the express of an emotion of destruction.Task 6 教授举他在Lab工作的例子来讲first impression。说第一周他表现得特好，他领导就一直认为他特好，跟别人说他的这个员工特别擅长research。但是他的另一个同事第一周犯了一个大错误，但其实教授的同事比教授厉害，而且后来表现特别好，但是老板还是认为他unreliable，不咋地。题目问你对first impression的理解。The professor gives his experience at lab to present the term of first impression, hesays that on the first week he worked very hard, then his supervisor always believethat he is a hard worker, and tell people that he is good at doing research, but one ofhis coworker is not so lucky, he made a mistake at the first week, despite he isactually better then the professor and he did work better than the professor, the bossstill think he is unreliable.
