　　[00:21.80]TEST 12

　　[00:24.30]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:27.48]In this section

　　[00:28.92]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:30.60]You will hear the mini-lecture

　　[00:32.58]ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:33.78]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:35.56]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:37.84]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:40.36]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:42.13]for each gap.

　　[00:43.12]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:46.96]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:49.32]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:51.77]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:53.59]for note-taking.

　　[00:54.68]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:56.62]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:28.96]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:31.12]When it is over,

　　[01:32.09]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:33.81]to check your work.

　　[01:35.04]How to Write a Thesis

　　[01:37.56]Today, I will talk

　　[01:39.05]about four important sections

　　[01:41.10]of thesis writing: introduction,

　　[01:43.51]methods, results and discussion.

　　[01:45.50]First, it's the introduction section.

　　[01:48.48]You can't write a good introduction

　　[01:50.78]until you know what the body

　　[01:52.43]of the paper says.

　　[01:53.58]Consider writing

　　[01:55.02]the introductory section

　　[01:56.58]after you have completed the rest

　　[01:58.45]of the paper,

　　[01:59.61]rather than before.

　　[02:00.69]Be sure to include a hook

　　[02:02.60]at the beginning of the introduction.

　　[02:04.54]This is a statement

　　[02:06.14]of something sufficiently interesting

　　[02:08.07]to motivate your readers

　　[02:09.52]to read the rest of the paper,

　　[02:11.24]and it is an important

　　[02:13.15]and interesting scientific problem

　　[02:15.37]that your paper either solves

　　[02:17.12]or addresses.

　　[02:18.19]You should draw the readers in

　　[02:20.05]and make them want to

　　[02:21.49]read the rest of the paper.

　　[02:23.07]The next paragraphs

　　[02:24.78]in the introduction should

　　[02:26.21]cite previous researches

　　[02:27.89]in this area.

　　[02:29.29]You should cite those

　　[02:30.68]who had the idea or ideas first,

　　[02:33.33]and should also cite those

　　[02:35.29]who have done the most recent

　　[02:36.97]and relevant work.

　　[02:38.19]You should then go on to explain

　　[02:40.25]why more work is necessary.

　　[02:42.32]What else belongs to

　　[02:44.18]the introductory

　　[02:45.18]section of your paper?

　　[02:46.38]First, a statement of the goal

　　[02:48.58]of the paper.

　　[02:49.93]That is, why the study

　　[02:51.42]was undertaken,

　　[02:52.44]Or why the paper was written.

　　[02:54.61]Do not repeat the abstract.

　　[02:56.72]Second,

　　[02:58.49]sufficient background information

　　[03:00.18]to allow the readers

　　[03:01.45]to understand the context

　　[03:03.08]and significance of the question

　　[03:05.18]you are trying to address.

　　[03:06.81]Third, a proper acknowledgement

　　[03:09.63]of the previous work

　　[03:10.75]on which you are building.

　　[03:12.46]Sufficient references such

　　[03:14.37]that a reader could,

　　[03:15.61]by going to the library, achieve

　　[03:17.81]a sophisticated understanding

　　[03:19.83]of the context and significance

　　[03:21.74]of the question.

　　[03:22.85]Fourth, the introduction

　　[03:24.73]should be focused on

　　[03:25.91]the thesis question.

　　[03:27.25]All cited work should be directly

　　[03:29.98]relevant to the goal of the thesis.

　　[03:31.95]This is not a place

　　[03:33.40]to summarize everything

　　[03:34.82]you have ever read on a subject.

　　[03:36.73]Fifth, explain the scope

　　[03:38.60]of your work:

　　[03:40.01]what will and will not be included.

　　[03:42.26]Sixth, draw a verbal

　　[03:44.33]"road map"

　　[03:45.25]or verbal"table of contents"

　　[03:47.04]guiding the readers

　　[03:48.23]to what lies ahead.

　　[03:49.42]Seventh, make it obvious

　　[03:51.46]where introductory material ends

　　[03:53.83]and your contribution begins.

　　[03:55.99]Remember

　　[03:57.14]that this is not a review paper.

　　[03:59.04]We are looking for original work

　　[04:01.26]and analysis by you.

　　[04:03.00]Break up the introduction section

　　[04:05.13]into logical segments

　　[04:06.60]by using subheadings.

　　[04:08.45]The following important section

　　[04:10.78]is the methods.

　　[04:12.01]This section should

　　[04:13.53]contain information

　　[04:14.56]to allow the readers

　　[04:15.73]to assess the believability

　　[04:17.65]of your results

　　[04:18.59]and information

　　[04:19.56]needed by another researcher

　　[04:21.23]to replicate your experiment.

　　[04:23.56]Hence, you should describe clearly

　　[04:25.93]your materials,

　　[04:26.70]procedures, theories,

　　[04:28.26]calculations, techniques,

　　[04:30.30]equipment and calibration plots.

　　[04:33.20]Besides, this section

　　[04:35.34]also includes limitations,

　　[04:37.07]assumptions, the range of validity,

　　[04:39.90]as well as description

　　[04:41.51]of your analytical methods,

　　[04:43.02]including references to

　　[04:44.82]any specialized statistical software.

　　[04:47.71]Remember, citations

　　[04:49.84]in this section should be limited to

　　[04:52.19]data sources and references of

　　[04:53.29]where to find

　　[04:54.84]more complete descriptions

　　[04:56.36]of procedures.

　　[04:57.78]Do not include

　　[04:58.88]descriptions of results.

　　[05:00.33]Next, I'd like to talk

　　[05:02.19]about the results.

　　[05:03.44]The results are actual statements

　　[05:05.92]of observations,

　　[05:06.87]including statistics,

　　[05:08.81]tables and graphs.

　　[05:10.16]It should indicate the information

　　[05:12.56]on a range of variation

　　[05:14.12]and mention negative results

　　[05:16.08]as well as positive results.

　　[05:18.23]Do not interpret results—

　　[05:20.39]Save that for the discussion.

　　[05:22.32]Present sufficient details so

　　[05:24.93]that others can draw

　　[05:26.14]their own inferences and construct

　　[05:28.37]their own explanations.

　　[05:30.00]Break up your results

　　[05:31.32]into logical segments

　　[05:32.79]by using subheadings.

　　[05:34.39]And remember, key results

　　[05:37.10]should be stated in clear sentences

　　[05:39.30]at the beginning of paragraphs.

　　[05:41.07]Besides, describe the nature

　　[05:43.39]of the findings.

　　[05:44.67]Do not just tell the readers whether

　　[05:46.71]or not they are significant.

　　[05:48.51]Finally, it is the discussion.

　　[05:50.78]This section should start

　　[05:52.93]with a few sentences

　　[05:54.20]that summarize

　　[05:55.35]the most important results.

　　[05:57.63]The whole section

　　[05:59.04]should be a brief essay in itself,

　　[06:01.02]answering the following questions:

　　[06:03.42]First, what are the major patterns

　　[06:06.23]in the observations?

　　[06:07.82]Second, what are the relationships,

　　[06:10.68]trends and generalizations

　　[06:12.68]among the results?

　　[06:13.95]Third, what are the exceptions

　　[06:16.70]to these patterns

　　[06:17.90]or generalizations?

　　[06:19.63]Fourth,

　　[06:21.62]what are the likely causes

　　[06:23.01]underlying these patterns

　　[06:24.79]resulting predictions? Fifth,

　　[06:27.95]is there agreement or disagreement

　　[06:30.16]on the previous work?

　　[06:31.75]Sixth,

　　[06:32.84]what is the relationship

　　[06:34.42]between the present results

　　[06:35.98]and the original question?

　　[06:38.07]Seventh, what is the implication

　　[06:40.84]of the present results

　　[06:42.26]for other unanswered questions

　　[06:44.14]in earth sciences,

　　[06:45.02]ecology, environmental policy, etc.

　　[06:48.75]Eighth, what are your hypotheses?

　　[06:52.72]There are usually

　　[06:54.40]several possible explanations

　　[06:56.50]for results.

　　[06:57.55]Be careful to consider all of them

　　[07:00.16]rather than simply

　　[07:01.38]pushing your favorite one.

　　[07:03.01]If you can eliminate all but one,

　　[07:05.55]that is great, but often

　　[07:07.66]that is not possible with the data

　　[07:09.66]in hand.

　　[07:10.72]In that case,

　　[07:11.90]you should give even treatment

　　[07:13.89]to the remaining possibilities,

　　[07:15.87]and try to indicate ways

　　[07:17.91]in which future work

　　[07:19.34]may lead to their discrimination.

　　[07:21.14]Ninth, is it appropriate to jump

　　[07:24.27]on the bandwagon?

　　[07:25.61]Avoid jumping

　　[07:27.00]a currently fashionable point of view

　　[07:29.54]unless your results really

　　[07:31.10]do strongly support them.

　　[07:33.15]Tenth, what are the things

　　[07:35.08]we now know or understand

　　[07:37.00]before the present work?

　　[07:38.88]The final one is what the significance

　　[07:41.54]of the present results is.

　　[07:43.38]In other words,

　　[07:44.71]why should we care?

　　[07:46.25]This section should be rich in

　　[07:48.56]references to similar work

　　[07:50.30]and background needed to

　　[07:51.85]interpret results.

　　[07:52.91]However,

　　[07:54.39]it is often too long and wordy.

　　[07:56.43]Is there material

　　[07:57.65]that does not contribute to

　　[07:59.31]one of the elements

　　[08:00.40]I mentioned above?

　　[08:01.60]if so, this may be the material

　　[08:04.40]that you will want to

　　[08:05.56]consider deleting or moving.

　　[08:07.11]Remember to break up the section

　　[08:09.62]into logical segments

　　[08:11.05]by using subheadings.

　　[08:12.78]Thesis writing is not an easy thing,

　　[08:15.65]because all sections are important

　　[08:18.16]and they are so closely interrelated

　　[08:20.70]that you cannot neglect any of them.

　　[08:22.95]However, if you can grasp the points

　　[08:26.35]I mentioned just now,

　　[08:27.69]you may find it

　　[08:28.99]much more controllable.

　　[08:30.46]I hope today's lecture is helpful

　　[08:32.66]to you more or less.

　　[08:34.17]And next time I will talk

　　[08:36.15]about the problem of word choice

　　[08:38.09]in thesis writing.

　　[08:39.18]Thank you for your attention.

　　[08:41.29]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[08:43.90]to check your work.

　　[11:44.36]This is the end

　　[11:46.24]of Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[11:48.48]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[11:52.32]In this section

　　[11:53.85]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[11:55.81]The interview

　　[11:56.93]will be divided into TWO parts.

　　[11:58.90]At the end of each part,

　　[12:00.96]five questions will be asked

　　[12:02.94]about what was said.

　　[12:04.02]Both the interview

　　[12:05.44]and the questions

　　[12:06.40]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[12:08.51]After each question

　　[12:10.06]there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[12:12.24]During the pause,

　　[12:13.82]you should read the four choices

　　[12:15.76]of A, B, C and D,

　　[12:18.31]and mark the best answer

　　[12:20.23]to each question

　　[12:21.26]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[12:22.82]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[12:24.99]to preview the questions.

　　[12:55.65]Now, listen to Part One

　　[12:58.35]of the interview.

　　[12:59.33]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[13:01.86]Part One of the interview.

　　[13:03.63]M: This morning, we will talk

　　[13:06.51]about love and dollars.

　　[13:08.37]In this July issue,

　　[13:10.46]Money Magazine takes a look

　　[13:12.34]at people who are

　　[13:13.46]on the hunt for billionaires.

　　[13:15.61]But what are the traps

　　[13:17.50]when you hunt for a partner

　　[13:18.76]with money?

　　[13:19.53]Money Magazine's Jean Chatzky

　　[13:22.31]is today's financial editor.

　　[13:24.73]Jean, good morning to you.

　　[13:26.98]W: Good morning.

　　[13:28.10]M: I wanted to say it

　　[13:29.72]at the beginning.

　　[13:30.69]It just has a kind of sleazy,

　　[13:33.15]superficial feel towards people

　　[13:35.74]looking for billionaires to marry.

　　[13:37.89]But that's what this article is about,

　　[13:40.59]isn't it?

　　[13:41.62]W: Well, it has the same feeling

　　[13:43.80]to me too.

　　[13:44.88]But this article is largely

　　[13:46.83]commenting on the fact

　　[13:48.63]that this is happening,

　　[13:49.95]this is out there.

　　[13:51.33]I mean I have been

　　[13:52.92]in Money Magazine for ten years.

　　[13:55.23]We have never written

　　[13:56.59]about anything like this before.

　　[13:58.53]And that's because it's never existed

　　[14:00.93]until now in a big way.

　　[14:02.70]M: because there are

　　[14:04.17]so many billionaires.

　　[14:05.77]You mean at this point.

　　[14:07.59]W: Right. There are 946 billionaires

　　[14:11.45]right now in the world.

　　[14:13.17]For the first time,

　　[14:14.70]The whole Forbes 400

　　[14:16.64]was billionaires

　　[14:17.64]in the United States.

　　[14:18.82]If you go one step down,

　　[14:21.14]there are

　　[14:21.78]about 85,000 people in this country

　　[14:24.58]with wealth of 30 million dollars

　　[14:26.76]or more.

　　[14:27.47]And it's easier to find them

　　[14:29.59]if this is something

　　[14:31.04]that you are out looking for,

　　[14:32.49]because there are dating services,

　　[14:34.81]dating websites

　　[14:36.25]that focus on helping people find

　　[14:38.42]other people with money.

　　[14:39.75]They have names like

　　[14:41.82]millionairematch.com.

　　[14:43.44]M: Are these women

　　[14:44.93]looking for men

　　[14:46.02]or are these men

　　[14:47.32]looking for women?

　　[14:48.60]Or is it a little bit of both?

　　[14:51.11]W: It's definitely a little bit of both.

　　[14:53.54]There are more billionaires

　　[14:55.38]who happen to be men of the 946.

　　[14:59.00]Only about 40 are women.

　　[15:00.88]So if you are set on a billionaire,

　　[15:03.92]you are going to have

　　[15:05.09]a tough time finding one

　　[15:06.56]who is a woman.

　　[15:07.72]However, I think

　　[15:09.50]when we talk about this

　　[15:10.84]whole phenomenon

　　[15:11.88]of older women

　　[15:12.87]and younger men,

　　[15:13.81]we are actually talking

　　[15:15.65]about richer women

　　[15:16.85]and poorer men.

　　[15:17.95]We are just not saying it.

　　[15:20.11]M: So a man or a woman

　　[15:22.02]who wants to find themselves

　　[15:23.70]a billionaire,

　　[15:24.75]besides the websites they can go to,

　　[15:27.56]what else is out there?

　　[15:29.29]W: Well. You have to figure out

　　[15:31.40]where the billionaires are

　　[15:32.82]to begin with.

　　[15:33.90]And that means looking

　　[15:35.61]in the different industries

　　[15:36.99]where they exist.

　　[15:38.00]There are about half of all billionaires

　　[15:41.07]that Money Magazine looked at.

　　[15:43.15]They took a very scientific approach

　　[15:45.68]to this study

　　[15:46.66]and found their mates at work.

　　[15:48.66]So if this is something

　　[15:51.24]that you are up for,

　　[15:52.44]and you may want to go out there,

　　[15:54.52]get yourself an MBA or get a job

　　[15:57.32]in finance

　　[15:58.24]or in the investment world which is

　　[16:00.51]where most billionaires

　　[16:02.09]these days happen to work.

　　[16:03.69]This is the end of Part One

　　[16:06.44]of the interview.

　　[16:07.31]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[16:10.09]what you have just heard.

　　[16:11.40]1. What does the public

　　[16:14.65]think of those

　　[16:15.47]who look for billionaires to marry?

　　[16:25.85]2. Which of the following statements

　　[16:30.84]is CORRECT?

　　[16:41.90]3. How many billionaires

　　[16:44.97]in the world are men?

　　[16:55.18]4. Which of the following statements

　　[16:59.89]about women billionaires

　　[17:01.52]is INCORRECT?

　　[17:12.75]5. Which of the following is a right way

　　[17:16.95]for one to find a billionaire?

　　[17:28.12]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[17:31.64]of the interview.

　　[17:32.63]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[17:35.24]Part Two of the interview.

　　[17:37.26]M: The point is

　　[17:39.04]that it is a cynical thing

　　[17:40.89]to get yourself an MBA

　　[17:42.85]so you can find yourself a billionaire.

　　[17:45.44]W: This is not

　　[17:46.88]how I want my daughter,

　　[17:48.43]or my son,

　　[17:49.12]for that matter out there dating.

　　[17:51.27]I want my kids

　　[17:52.42]to have their own money,

　　[17:52.92]as I am sure you do.

　　[17:54.62]Because when you have the money

　　[17:56.67]in the relationship,

　　[17:58.11]you have the power

　　[17:59.38]in the relationship.

　　[18:00.63]That's just the way it works.

　　[18:02.65]And so you need to know

　　[18:04.27]what you want in another person,

　　[18:06.03]but you know,

　　[18:07.35]there are people out there

　　[18:09.18]who say I want this,

　　[18:10.66]I want to be wealthy,

　　[18:12.26]and this is one way to get there.

　　[18:14.95]M: OK. So besides getting the MBA,

　　[18:18.95]whatever it is,

　　[18:20.25]will get you closer to the person

　　[18:22.77]who is wealthy?

　　[18:23.88]What else can you do?

　　[18:25.64]W: Well.

　　[18:26.74]You can look for common interests.

　　[18:28.56]I mean if you look at the things

　　[18:30.42]that billionaires

　　[18:31.45]or very wealthy people do,

　　[18:33.17]you will find

　　[18:34.36]that they tend to spend a lot of

　　[18:36.10]money on luxury items.

　　[18:37.72]So focusing your interest

　　[18:39.91]on real estate or art galleries,

　　[18:42.11]or collecting,

　　[18:43.28]you might get involved in charities

　　[18:45.48]where they are likely to be.

　　[18:47.03]If you don't have enough money

　　[18:48.99]to buy a ticket

　　[18:49.94]to their great ball of the year,

　　[18:51.70]then volunteer.

　　[18:52.93]But get yourself in there in a way

　　[18:55.44]that you are interested

　　[18:56.78]in the subject also.

　　[18:58.24]I think that it's not easy

　　[19:00.10]to fake these things,

　　[19:01.54]and the good news is

　　[19:03.11]that many billionaires these days

　　[19:05.42]seem to be marrying for smarts

　　[19:07.66]as well as for money.

　　[19:08.80]They are not looking for people

　　[19:10.93]who can't carry on a conversation.

　　[19:13.46]M: Yeah. I was just going to say

　　[19:16.26]what's the billionaire into?

　　[19:17.99]W: I think in a lot of cases,

　　[19:20.66]you have to ask that question,

　　[19:22.53]because if you are dating somebody

　　[19:24.86]who has all the money

　　[19:26.06]in the relationship,

　　[19:27.33]you need to know upfront

　　[19:28.79]what you are giving,

　　[19:30.06]otherwise you are going to be

　　[19:32.12]in trouble on the back end.

　　[19:33.84]M: But this whole premise

　　[19:35.82]of marrying somebody

　　[19:37.04]for money isn't like buying a house

　　[19:39.57]whose foundation

　　[19:40.54]is sand essentially.

　　[19:42.07]W: I think in

　　[19:43.46]a large number of cases, it can be.

　　[19:45.45]And that's why if you go into

　　[19:47.71]that kind of a marriage,

　　[19:49.11]you'd better have

　　[19:50.14]a premarital agreement,

　　[19:51.67]and it'd better be tight,

　　[19:53.18]so you'd better

　　[19:54.46]have your own lawyer

　　[19:55.58]negotiating it for you.

　　[19:57.05]M: Alright, Jean Chatzky,

　　[19:59.54]thanks so much.

　　[20:00.94]Nice seeing you.

　　[20:02.49]W: Me too.

　　[20:03.34]This is the end of Part Two

　　[20:05.75]of the interview.

　　[20:06.96]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[20:09.49]what you have just heard.

　　[20:11.58]6. What's Jean's attitude

　　[20:15.10]towards dating with

　　[20:16.22]a billionaire for money?

　　[20:27.25]7. According to Jean,

　　[20:29.83]how can one get closer to

　　[20:31.98]billionaires besides getting an MBA?

　　[20:42.58]8. What kind of women are

　　[20:47.64]billionaires most likely to marry?

　　[20:58.39]9. What is NOT suggested

　　[21:02.93]in terms of marriage contract

　　[21:05.09]for people marrying somebody

　　[21:06.88]for money?

　　[21:17.89]10. What is the theme of this part

　　[21:20.95]of the interview?
