　　[00:23.98]TEST 3

　　[00:25.14]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:26.69]In this section

　　[00:29.54]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:31.51]You will hear the mini-lecture

　　[00:32.92]ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:34.52]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:36.49]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:38.83]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:41.40]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:42.76]for each gap.

　　[00:44.00]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:47.17]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:50.06]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:52.31]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:54.20]for note-taking.

　　[00:55.77]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:57.51]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:29.84]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:31.96]When it is over,

　　[01:32.95]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:34.62]to check your work.

　　[01:37.04]How to Succeed

　　[01:37.96]in Your Literature Class

　　[01:40.01]Good morning everyone,

　　[01:41.79]our topic today is

　　[01:43.74]about how to do well

　　[01:44.96]in your literature class

　　[01:46.68]in your college days.

　　[01:48.10]College literature classes

　　[01:50.13]often shock people

　　[01:51.41]with little or no experience

　　[01:52.64]of analyzing literature closely.

　　[01:55.82]First year students

　　[01:56.89]and those pre-med students

　　[01:59.05]just fulfilling

　　[01:59.83]their lone literature requirement

　　[02:00.96]generally find themselves uncertain

　　[02:04.34]of how to approach

　　[02:05.64]the assigned readings,

　　[02:07.19]class discussions, and papers.

　　[02:10.03]The seemingly

　　[02:10.94]intimidating classes

　　[02:12.39]may further terrify students

　　[02:13.96]if language skills are

　　[02:15.83]not their strong points.

　　[02:18.30]Literature courses

　　[02:19.44]and assignments tend to be

　　[02:20.98]extremely different from those

　　[02:22.50]of any other discipline

　　[02:23.97]because of

　　[02:25.80]their extreme subjectivity.

　　[02:27.11]This aspect is

　　[02:28.99]what many people

　　[02:29.92]tend to find most surprising

　　[02:30.81]and challenging in

　　[02:33.59]an academic setting.

　　[02:35.62]I am not saying

　　[02:36.42]that you can throw reason

　　[02:37.72]and fact out of the window

　　[02:39.48]in literature courses,

　　[02:40.86]but you are given

　　[02:41.89]much more intellectual freedom

　　[02:43.79]with your personal thoughts and ideas.

　　[02:46.38]And that is a feature that catches

　　[02:48.18]those accustomed

　　[02:49.38]to regimented rules

　　[02:50.70]and precise answers

　　[02:51.96]in experiments

　　[02:52.88]and problem sets slightly off guard.

　　[02:56.52]The most important pieces

　　[02:57.93]of advice I can offer

　　[02:59.29]those considering

　　[03:00.39]taking a literature course is

　　[03:01.71]to be ready

　　[03:02.96]and willing to read everything

　　[03:05.24]questioningly, closely,

　　[03:06.35]and in advance.

　　[03:08.78]Let's begin with the

　　[03:09.60]"in advance" piece of wisdom.

　　[03:11.83]Literature professors hate

　　[03:13.72]when their students

　　[03:15.03]have not done

　　[03:15.89]the assigned reading.

　　[03:17.52]They assigned it for a reason,

　　[03:18.88]so have it finished

　　[03:20.82]when you get to class.

　　[03:22.82]For large lectures students

　　[03:24.72]often think it is not

　　[03:26.04]that important to do the readings

　　[03:27.61]since they will not be forced

　　[03:29.57]to speak up

　　[03:30.53]and offer opinions.

　　[03:32.07]This is completely wrong.

　　[03:34.22]Why attend a lecture

　　[03:36.10]on a piece of writing

　　[03:37.11]that the professor assumes

　　[03:38.67]you have read?

　　[03:40.00]You will take nothing away

　　[03:41.64]from the lecture

　　[03:42.76]and will not be able to

　　[03:44.17]make any sense

　　[03:44.96]of whatever notes you take,

　　[03:46.51]even if you read the material

　　[03:47.75]after the fact.

　　[03:50.09]Also professors tend to be

　　[03:52.45]plot spoilers,

　　[03:53.93]so if you are taking a class

　　[03:55.53]in which you are reading novels,

　　[03:57.20]if you do not want to find out

　　[03:59.32]who dies or gets arrested

　　[04:01.40]or falls in love

　　[04:03.12]or any other possible endings,

　　[04:04.80]I would highly recommend

　　[04:06.72]reading the book before class.

　　[04:09.45]In small classes

　　[04:10.99]that have lots of open discussion,

　　[04:13.11]professors can always tell

　　[04:15.15]who has

　　[04:15.93]and who has not done

　　[04:17.57]the week's reading.

　　[04:18.80]Don't think it won't affect

　　[04:20.42]your participation grade

　　[04:22.14]for the course.

　　[04:22.99]Also if you are

　　[04:24.64]a particularly shy individual

　　[04:26.25]who doesn't often speak up

　　[04:28.47]in class anyway,

　　[04:30.01]you will be

　　[04:30.66]even less likely to participate

　　[04:32.91]if you have no idea

　　[04:34.77]what the discussion is about.

　　[04:36.93]Come to class

　　[04:37.68]with your reading finished

　　[04:39.20]and you will certainly think

　　[04:41.02]of some way to contribute

　　[04:42.30]to the class dialogue.

　　[04:43.80]The entire point of a literature class

　　[04:46.43]is to engross a student

　　[04:48.54]in the general aspects

　　[04:49.65]of important books,

　　[04:51.39]to explore many subtle differences

　　[04:52.96]of how stories are crafted,

　　[04:55.39]and to train the college scholar

　　[04:57.62]to read

　　[04:58.36]and digest huge

　　[04:59.95]amounts of information.

　　[05:01.44]You won't do well

　　[05:03.23]in the course

　　[05:03.95]without making

　　[05:04.61]a sincere attempt to read

　　[05:06.19]and understand

　　[05:07.43]every assigned text.

　　[05:09.39]Next, make sure you read

　　[05:11.70]all material very closely.

　　[05:14.18]Do not skim through

　　[05:15.88]seemingly unimportant passages

　　[05:17.85]of long novels,

　　[05:19.54]or read Spark Notes

　　[05:21.46]and think you know what happens

　　[05:22.94]in the reading.

　　[05:24.97]These methods of "reading"

　　[05:26.06]leave you without any idea

　　[05:27.93]of the author's style

　　[05:29.16]or deeper intentions;

　　[05:30.05]they merely give you plot

　　[05:32.51]or surface meanings.

　　[05:34.04]Reading things halfway

　　[05:36.47]will be of no benefit to you

　　[05:37.97]when it is time

　　[05:39.41]to write your papers.

　　[05:41.30]Literature professors

　　[05:42.70]usually want papers

　　[05:44.26]that are very sharply focused

　　[05:45.86]and detailed.

　　[05:47.35]Often they will assign topics

　　[05:49.15]that include one of the phrases

　　[05:51.02]"pick one sentence from the novel",

　　[05:53.71]or "choose a short passage",

　　[05:55.95]or"discuss a single metaphor".

　　[05:58.63]These exercises

　　[06:00.52]in close reading force students

　　[06:02.73]to unpack every word within

　　[06:04.79]their chosen section of the text

　　[06:06.73]and discuss

　　[06:07.83]many different possible meanings

　　[06:09.86]and implications.

　　[06:11.16]This is where

　　[06:12.38]a literature student's freedom

　　[06:13.98]in thinking is clearly exhibited.

　　[06:16.21]There is no single answer

　　[06:18.31]or interpretation to

　　[06:19.81]most pieces of literature,

　　[06:21.32]but students must be able to

　　[06:23.66]read closely enough

　　[06:25.20]to defend a case

　　[06:26.09]with textual evidence

　　[06:27.68]that will support

　　[06:28.80]their personal interpretation.

　　[06:31.32]Finally, do not feel defeated

　　[06:33.61]if you find a piece of evidence

　　[06:35.32]in the text

　　[06:36.29]that seems to contradict the line

　　[06:38.53]of thinking you had developed

　　[06:40.04]about the piece of literature.

　　[06:41.94]Literature papers and discussions

　　[06:43.97]should question every theory

　　[06:45.95]by offering counterevidence.

　　[06:48.43]As I previously said,

　　[06:50.31]clear-cut answers do not exist

　　[06:52.99]in any form of literature,

　　[06:54.98]be it poetry, fiction, essays,

　　[06:57.12]or even nonfiction.

　　[06:58.96]You must read all genres

　　[07:01.16]with a discerning eye,

　　[07:02.95]and instead of

　　[07:03.92]avoiding possible conflicts

　　[07:05.71]in your papers,

　　[07:06.69]use them to show

　　[07:08.18]that you have fully thought

　　[07:09.60]through your arguments.

　　[07:11.68]Think of ways

　　[07:12.78]that they can fit in and support,

　　[07:14.97]or simply acknowledge

　　[07:16.31]that something

　　[07:17.42]seems unexplainable to

　　[07:18.57]your uncertainty is acceptable

　　[07:21.06]in literature courses;

　　[07:22.60]after all, you generally

　　[07:24.40]do not have access to

　　[07:26.21]the author's personal thoughts.

　　[07:28.32]Just be sure that even

　　[07:30.18]your uncertainty delves into

　　[07:32.40]possible interpretations of a work,

　　[07:34.26]sentence, or word.

　　[07:36.28]Literature discussions

　　[07:37.85]and papers do not need to

　　[07:39.41]provide answers per say,

　　[07:41.38]but they must be thought provoking.

　　[07:44.32]So unpack single words,

　　[07:45.93]look up meanings and histories,

　　[07:48.25]analyze sentence structures

　　[07:50.96]for potential purposes,

　　[07:52.19]and never stop questioning

　　[07:54.10]your thoughts.

　　[07:55.31]And the last piece of advice

　　[07:57.23]I have to offer:

　　[07:58.50]look at the reading lists

　　[08:00.12]of literature courses

　　[08:01.12]you are considering

　　[08:02.31]so you do not

　　[08:03.32]make yourself miserable

　　[08:04.68]by spending

　　[08:05.50]a semester reading literature

　　[08:06.96]you have no interest in.

　　[08:09.08]Literature courses

　　[08:10.82]should be enjoyable,

　　[08:12.30]and their readings stimulating,

　　[08:14.53]so find one that interests you

　　[08:16.72]and begin analyzing everything!

　　[08:19.66]OK, today I've given

　　[08:21.57]several tips to you

　　[08:22.88]regarding the ways of succeeding

　　[08:24.67]in your literature class.

　　[08:26.34]I hope they could

　　[08:27.89]help you get your hands

　　[08:28.97]on the class

　　[08:29.78]when you are ready to go.

　　[08:31.52]Thank you for listening.

　　[08:33.28]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[08:35.59]to check your work.

　　[11:36.44]This is the end of

　　[11:37.36]Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[11:40.70]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[11:42.77]In this section

　　[11:43.87]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[11:46.02]The interview

　　[11:46.70]will be divided into TWO parts.

　　[11:48.93]At the end of each part,

　　[11:50.48]five questions will be asked

　　[11:52.72]about what was said.

　　[11:54.08]Both the interview

　　[11:55.14]and the questions

　　[11:56.40]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[11:58.84]After each question

　　[12:00.61]there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[12:03.25]During the pause,

　　[12:04.50]you should read the four choices

　　[12:06.87]of A, B, C and D,

　　[12:09.15]and mark the best answer

　　[12:10.85]to each question

　　[12:12.08]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[12:14.16]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[12:15.89]to preview the questions.

　　[12:48.00]Now, listen to Part One

　　[12:49.31]of the interview.

　　[12:51.13]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[12:53.25]Part One of the interview.

　　[12:56.62]W: We brought in a person

　　[12:57.67]to help us understand

　　[12:58.83]what regrets are all about.

　　[13:01.51]Reverend Sherri Hausser is

　　[13:03.21]an associate pastor at

　　[13:04.77]the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church

　　[13:06.94]in Pennsylvania.

　　[13:08.23]Nice to have you here.

　　[13:09.69]M: Thank you.

　　[13:10.82]W: We talked about this,

　　[13:12.49]I guess in the meeting,

　　[13:13.66]that everybody on the staff said

　　[13:16.00]we should do a segment

　　[13:17.16]about regrets. Why?

　　[13:18.85]Why is it something

　　[13:20.22]we need to talk about?

　　[13:21.58]M: Regrets are

　　[13:22.70]amongst the most human things

　　[13:23.92]we have,

　　[13:24.94]these amazing invitations

　　[13:27.06]and opportunities to grow.

　　[13:29.24]So if you don't have regrets,

　　[13:30.88]I mean I wouldn't want to deal

　　[13:32.95]with someone

　　[13:33.70]who didn't have regrets.

　　[13:35.45]W: But immediately

　　[13:36.82]you say regrets are positive,

　　[13:38.89]and most people don't think

　　[13:40.61]that way.

　　[13:41.54]Most people think

　　[13:42.75]that regrets are negative.

　　[13:44.18]M: I think they have

　　[13:45.61]a negative attitude on regrets

　　[13:47.47]because we've been taught

　　[13:48.80]that regrets are a bad thing,

　　[13:50.16]so we repress them

　　[13:52.95]and have a certain amount

　　[13:54.04]of shame about them.

　　[13:55.18]But I think they are

　　[13:56.14]absolutely an opportunity

　　[13:58.20]if we acknowledge them.

　　[14:00.13]W: Basically two kinds of regrets.

　　[14:02.60]Wouldn't that be fair

　　[14:04.24]to say most people have regrets

　　[14:06.03]about a personal relationship

　　[14:07.76]or about an opportunity

　　[14:09.30]and sometimes obviously

　　[14:11.28]those things that cross over?

　　[14:13.38]When is the amount of time

　　[14:15.11]you spend worrying

　　[14:15.95]about something you think

　　[14:17.14]about normal?

　　[14:18.47]And when does it

　　[14:19.57]become something

　　[14:20.51]that negatively impacts your life?

　　[14:22.65]M: I think

　　[14:23.78]if it makes you stop functioning,

　　[14:25.34]then it becomes abnormal

　　[14:27.41]as long as the regret stays

　　[14:29.18]as an energy.

　　[14:30.70]Sometimes you have to sit with it

　　[14:32.84]for a long time.

　　[14:34.18]You sit with the regret

　　[14:35.68]and you try to understand.

　　[14:37.61]It's never about the past.

　　[14:39.88]It's a present emotion.

　　[14:41.52]And what it really is—

　　[14:43.80]it's a yearning

　　[14:44.56]about something in the future;

　　[14:45.89]it's something popping up

　　[14:47.48]and saying

　　[14:48.30]"Wow, I could be more,

　　[14:49.60]I could do something different."

　　[14:52.65]It's really about focusing on

　　[14:54.95]the future,

　　[14:55.81]even though it seems to be

　　[14:57.06]about the past.

　　[14:58.68]W: Sometimes it's about the past.

　　[15:00.96]A woman in The Pizzaria said,

　　[15:03.38]"I regret not listening to my mom

　　[15:05.71]and getting married too young."

　　[15:07.57]Clearly she set some problems

　　[15:09.61]in the past.

　　[15:11.86]This is the end

　　[15:12.74]of Part One of the interview.

　　[15:15.06]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[15:16.86]what you have just heard.

　　[15:19.39]1. What's Sherri's occupation?

　　[15:33.16]2. Why is it necessary

　　[15:35.41]for people to talk about

　　[15:36.90]"regrets"?

　　[15:48.31]3. What is Sherri's attitude

　　[15:51.09]towards regrets?

　　[16:02.16]4. What does Sherri equate

　　[16:04.86]regrets with?

　　[16:16.32]5. What does the interviewer

　　[16:18.98]intend to tell by citing

　　[16:20.94]the example of the woman

　　[16:22.45]regretting marrying too young?

　　[16:34.73]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[16:36.25]of the interview.

　　[16:37.75]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[16:39.96]Part Two of the interview.

　　[16:42.87]M: Yeah, that's true.

　　[16:44.56]I think that the important thing

　　[16:46.21]about regret is not to repress it.

　　[16:48.82]I think it starts to bother us,

　　[16:51.10]and it inhibits us from acting

　　[16:52.75]if we don't acknowledge it.

　　[16:54.17]I think if we articulate it,

　　[16:56.04]look at what the regret is,

　　[16:57.69]then it frees us up

　　[16:59.33]to do something about it.

　　[17:00.89]W: So you say,

　　[17:02.54]"OK, I've got a regret.

　　[17:04.19]All right.

　　[17:05.07]Here is what I did

　　[17:06.61]in a personal relationship.

　　[17:07.97]Here is what I said to a person

　　[17:10.53]that I wished I hadn't said it."

　　[17:12.51]Now, get off your butt,

　　[17:13.97]and change it.

　　[17:15.08]So, if you made someone upset,

　　[17:17.10]you go and apologize.

　　[17:19.37]Is it as simple as that?

　　[17:21.25]M: Well, sometimes it is

　　[17:23.61]as simple as that. I mean,

　　[17:25.98]it depends again

　　[17:27.07]on what the regret is about.

　　[17:29.65]But for example, regretting

　　[17:31.57]that you married too young—

　　[17:32.90]it's not about marrying too young.

　　[17:35.63]That is over.

　　[17:37.68]You can't do anything about the past.

　　[17:39.36]But the regret is really

　　[17:41.14]about right now.

　　[17:43.00]What do I want different

　　[17:44.85]about this relationship

　　[17:46.03]that I'm in?

　　[17:47.56]And sometimes that means

　　[17:48.82]I don't want to be

　　[17:49.90]in this relationship anymore,

　　[17:51.85]and I have to act that way,

　　[17:54.02]and that's a very serious thing,

　　[17:56.45]but it is not about the past.

　　[17:58.81]Regret is a yearning

　　[17:59.74]about the future,

　　[18:01.51]and a yearning to be more.

　　[18:03.70]W: What's the difference

　　[18:04.73]between regret and guilt?

　　[18:07.35]M: I would say

　　[18:08.10]that guilt is something

　　[18:09.44]that we used to

　　[18:10.41]beat ourselves up with.

　　[18:12.09]It's something

　　[18:12.68]that actually stalls us

　　[18:14.43]and keeps us from acting.

　　[18:16.39]Regret on the other hand,

　　[18:17.75]is really

　　[18:18.41]an opportunity toward action.

　　[18:21.66]If we articulate it,

　　[18:22.97]then we're compelled

　　[18:24.07]to do something different about it.

　　[18:26.10]And it really is an opportunity.

　　[18:28.85]W: What do you say to those

　　[18:30.37]who are out there living

　　[18:31.60]with regrets for years?

　　[18:33.56]M: I would say you

　　[18:34.92]have to have a shift

　　[18:35.88]in perspective.

　　[18:37.70]The second you feel that regret,

　　[18:39.73]you may think

　　[18:40.39]"Oh my God,

　　[18:42.38]an amazing opportunity right now,

　　[18:44.74]to grow, to develop,

　　[18:46.64]to discover something new

　　[18:48.30]about myself."

　　[18:50.17]To be specific,

　　[18:51.45]I would say that

　　[18:52.43]the first thing you do

　　[18:53.49]is to identify it.

　　[18:55.80]The second thing is that

　　[18:57.02]if it is something that is past,

　　[18:59.17]that you can't reclaim

　　[19:00.91]in a certain way,

　　[19:02.34]you have to grieve it.

　　[19:04.40]The third thing is by grieving,

　　[19:06.70]you free yourself up to say

　　[19:08.57]"What can I do now?"

　　[19:10.66]If it's that I didn't have a child,

　　[19:12.91]maybe I can adopt one.

　　[19:15.04]If I can't adopt,

　　[19:16.51]maybe I can engage the children

　　[19:18.85]in my life, my niece's,

　　[19:21.07]my nephew's,

　　[19:22.03]other people's children,

　　[19:23.83]volunteer with children.

　　[19:26.14]It's a way to really manifest part

　　[19:28.33]of ourselves

　　[19:29.24]that's been repressed

　　[19:30.59]and that we've wanted to inform.

　　[19:33.58]W: I'm going to make

　　[19:34.42]that one the last word.

　　[19:36.50]I regret we're out of time,

　　[19:38.43]so thanks very much.

　　[19:40.18]M: Glad to be here.

　　[19:41.81]This is the end

　　[19:43.35]of Part Two of the interview.

　　[19:45.73]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[19:47.94]what you have just heard.

　　[19:50.44]6. What does Sherri think

　　[19:53.65]about changing

　　[19:54.66]the situations brought

　　[19:56.04]about by things

　　[19:57.10]we regret on?

　　[20:08.44]7. What is the difference

　　[20:10.56]between regret and guilt?

　　[20:22.80]8. Which of the following is

　　[20:25.38]NOT Sherri's suggestion

　　[20:27.23]for people living

　　[20:27.98]with regrets for years?

　　[20:40.10]9. What will Sherri do

　　[20:42.59]if he can't have a child?

　　[20:54.53]10. What does this part

　　[20:57.41]of the interview

　　[20:58.41]mainly focus on?
