You will hear a talk on education. Fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS taken from the recording. You will hear the recording TWICE. Write your answers in the space provided. (20.0 points) Education is so important because it is supposed to help us get prepared for the challenges in our life. That’s why in most schools of all kinds (1) ______trouble-dealing/ trouble dealing______ with challenges in life is widely studied. However, things such as talent, energy, goodwill, and (2) _______human ingenuity_____ seem to disappear. In order to improve education, it is claimed that what we need is not money but that we must pay more attention to the real purpose of education, which is aimed to help us with: working and (3) ______sustaining good relationships______. To address these needs, two crucial subjects must be included in the curriculum. The first one is (4) ______capitalism______ since we don’t fully understand how the economy works. To help to study this subject, maths is taught to help students deal with money. It is hoped that students can get more understanding of the global economy together with other terms such as leadership, marketing, and competition, (5) ______cash flow______, and HR. Secondly, students really need to study themselves since we usually misunderstand ourselves. In everyday life, students would be taken through the (6) ______concepts of delusion______, defensiveness projection and denial. They should be taught a number of concepts and helped towards their personality maps with particular attention paid to (7) ______neurosis and fears______ so that they can understand, among other issues, what type of people they are (8) ______best suited______ to go out. It is essential that they should also be taught (9) ______career self-knowledge______ so that they can understand which job they are fit for. The (10) ______acquisition of skills______ is one of the important criteria of an ideal education system that helps people live a better life together. TRANSCRIPT

3 other plants. The evidence points to the fact that the gingko was probably always a rather rare tree, until it first attracted the attention of people about a thousand years ago, when they realised it could be cultivated as a source of nuts. Interviewer:   And does the gingko tree have medical uses? Peter:   The plant itself has long been valued for its healing properties. The medicinal uses in the East and the West have gone in different directions, using two different parts of the plant: mainly the seeds in the East, and mainly the leaves in the West. In the West, work has been done on the leaves to see whether they contain substances that might help improve people’s memories. The results, however, have shown no strong evidence for such powers. (2) Interviewer:   What else do humans use the gingko tree for? Peter:   Well, it’s a very popular tree in city streets all over the world. It’s incredibly tough, so can tolerate conditions that might kill other types of tree. It’s hard to know exactly why, but the leaves are particularly unattractive to insects that harm other trees (3). And it seems to survive in a street setting: its roots aren’t getting much oxygen, they’re getting a lot of salt and goodness knows what else is getting poured on them, but it seems relatively resistant to that. Interviewer:   You’re interested in the benefits of street trees in general, aren’t you, Peter? Peter:   That’s right, I am. They’re important for a number of reasons. One advantage is that trees along a street make it feel narrower and cause drivers to go more slowly. And obviously they provide shade, making people feel a lot more comfortable; they don’t mind being outside if they can be in the shade. And so trees help bring all the benefits that come from that: kids playing outside, neighbours keeping an eye on each other’s houses, people encouraged to linger in a shopping area that they would otherwise walk right through. Interviewer:   Do you think there are lessons we can learn from the gingko about preserving other plant species? Peter:   Well, because humans have distributed gingko around the planet, they have helped ensure the species’ long-term survival. There are probably a couple of wild original populations of gingko tree still left in China, but even those may have been aided by people. Obviously, we should try to preserve animals and plants in their native habitats, but in the same way that we’ve used other methods for conserving large mammals, I think conservation through widespread cultivation is essential for preserving plant diversity for the future. (4) Interviewer:   And finally, does working on such an ancient tree species affect your view of the world? Peter:   Yes, as humans, one of our biggest shortcomings is that we can’t see the long term. So reflecting on a plant like gingko that was around in very different ecosystems hundreds of millions of years ago, really makes our own species seem very young. (5)
