Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious
to know what you usually do in a typical week, bow you can get along with your fellow students, and so
on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
   First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be,
you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures
are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics
often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it's very
important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often
different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on
the lectures. So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a
typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion
section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about
the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching
assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
   If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a
week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the
classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
Purpose of the text To help the students learn about (1)______ life
Things that students usually do in a typical week (2)_____ lectures  
having (3)_____ for every class  
doing (4)____ in the lab if you (5)____  in science.
(6)______ of time spent attending lectures Between 4 and 6 hours a week
(7) _____ of attending lectures. The information in a lecture often (8) _____ from that in the textbooks.  
Exam questions are often (9)______ on lectures.

Discussion section under the (10)______ of teaching assistants

   Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment(投资) available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual fields for economists(经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are not educated.

   Parents in low-income families fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school---the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect.

   An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an completely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all the children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.

   Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. Bit it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously , there is the direct effect of education on the pay of female workers. Pay rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.

Romantic novelists rarely fail to include in their writings that special moment when two strangers look into each other's eyes across a crowded room and feel the tingle of desire. Now these writings have now been validated(证实)by science, for experts have discovered that eye-to-eye contact in fact leads to a burst of activity in the reward center of the brain.

Neuroscientists at University College London asked eight female and eight male volunteers to look at photos of the faces of 40 different people who were either looking at the camera or gazing to one side.

While the volunteers looked at the pictures, they were given a scan with functional magnetic resonance imaging(磁性共振成影仪器), which measures increased blood flows to the various parts of the brain and thus provides a "map" of cerebral activity(大脑活动).

The volunteers were then asked to rate the attractiveness of each face, and their score was matched against the scan.

The result: when volunteer had direct eye contact with the face, there was an increase of activity in the ventral striatum(腹面纹状体), a central part of the brain that anticipates reward or pleasure. But if the eyes did not meet, there was no activity in that brain area at all. The activity increase occurred regardless of the gender of the face in direct eye contact.

However, there was a bigger-than-usual increase if the person giving the eye was found to be attractive. Activity in the ventral striatum surged. But if the cute person gazed to one side, the ventral striatum remained dormant, apparently disappointed that the stranger was clearly not interested.

Interestingly, the ventral striatum also perked up if a plug-ugly person gazed to one side, rather than looked at the volunteer right in the eyes.

Origin of the experiment

Romantic novelists like to describe in their writings that two strangers look into each other's eyes across a crowded room and feel the tingle of desire in a special ____71____.

__72__ of the experiment

Investigate whether eye-to-eye contact ____73____ a burst of activity in the reward center of the brain.

Procedure of the experiment

◆Ask ____74____ volunteers(8 female and 8 male)to look at photos of the faces of 40 different people who were either looking at the camera or gazing to one side.

◆____75____ blood flows to the various parts of the volunteers’ brain and thus provides a "map" of cerebral activity.

◆Ask the volunteers to rate the attractiveness of all ____76____,

◆____77____ their score against the scan.

____78____ of the experiment

◆As long as the eyes meet ____79____, there must be activities in the brain area. On the other hand, there is no activity at all.

◆The activity of the brain is also ___80_____ with the people’s appearance closely.

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world.Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists (经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to the development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives (刺激), provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of (剥夺) an education.

         Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school —trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect (忽视).

        An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.
