新编大学英语(第三版/浙江大学编著)4视听说教程原文Unit3Part1Listening 1Three guys are out having a relaxing day fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs them to set her free in return for granting each of them a wish.One of the guys just doesn’t believe it, and says, “OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ.”The mermaid says, “Done!” Suddenly, the guy starts to recite Shakespeare flawlessly and then make an extremely insightful analysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, “Hey, triple my IQ.”The mermaid says, “Done!” The guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have puzzled scientists in all fields.The last guy is so impressed by the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, “Quintuple my IQ.”The mermaid looks at him and says, “You know, I normally don’t try to change people’s minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you‘d reconsider.”The guy says, “No, I want you to increase my IQ by five times, and if you don’t do it, I won’t set you free.”“Please,”says the mermaid, “you don’t know what you’re asking for. It’ll change your entire view of the universe. Won’t you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?”But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, “Done!” And he becomes a woman.Listening2Dr. Rose Herring, author of a book on language and communication, is being interviewed by Bob White, a writer for an academic journal on communication.Bob White: Good morning Dr. Herring! We both know that many communication specialists believe that gender bias exists in language, culture and society. Do you think this is really so?Dr. Herring: Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin during childhood.Children usually play together with other children of the same gender, and this is where our conversational style is learned.B
