30、n Thoreaus idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening ones perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high.

31、eding himself only as much effort as he would keep him functioning for more important efforts.Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties.

The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without
33、 difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty.

37、数：1，分数：10.00)填空项 1:_ （正确答案：first degrees）解析：听力原文1-10Good morning everyone. This is the last talk in this series of lectures. Feel free to ask any questions during the talk, and Ill do my best to answer them.Today Im going to talk about university awards. By that I mean the various degrees and diplom
38、as, and so on, that universities give to their students. I must make it clear that my remarks will be limited to the British educational system. Different countries employ different systems.How are the university awards obtained? There are those awards which are given for the satisfactory completion
39、 of course work and examination. The two best known examples of these are the BA (or Bachelor of Arts) and the BSc (or Bachelor of Science) at undergraduate level. These are sometimes also called “first degrees“, for the obvious reason that they are the first award that a student is likely to be giv
40、en by the university. There are over 5000 degree subjects and combinations of subjects offered at universities throughout Britain. Bachelor-level degrees are normally given at the end of three or four years course work. Some universities offer 4-year courses especially for students from overseas. Th
41、e four years are made up of one preparatory year plus three years of degree courses. Courses leading to degrees in medicine, dentistry and architecture can take from 37 years. Diplomas are included in this category because they too meet the criteria I have laid down here. That is to say, they are al
42、so awarded on the completion of satisfactory course work and examination. Diploma courses normally only last for one year. They are, too, usually more narrowly specialised and more professionally orientated. Thus they are most often given to people who are training to be teachers or social workers a
43、nd who already have a Bachelor-level degree.Next, there are those degrees which a university gives for successful completion of a piece of research. The MA (Master of Arts), the MSc (Master of Science) and the MBA (Master of Business Administration) are the ones most frequently awarded here at postg
44、raduate level. At one time these degrees were awarded only for the completion of research work; but over the past twenty years or so a large number of additional Master degrees have been introduced which combine a quite small piece of research with a substantial amount of course work on which the st
45、udent is examined. The PhD (or Doctor of Philosophy), the most prestigious research degree, is on the other hand only awarded for a piece of research which shows great depth and considerable originality. It is expected to make a significant contribution to our knowledge of and understanding of a pro
46、blem. It usually involves at least four years full-time research.Thirdly, and least commonly, there are the honorary degrees. These are, for example, the DLitt or Doctor of Letters (Doctor Litterarumif you want it in the original Latin), the DSc or Doctor of Science, and the LLD or Doctor of Laws. T
47、hese awards may bein fact often areawarded to people who have never been to University at all. They are very often in fact given to people who have distinguished themselves in some field of non-academic activity outside. Thus the University may wish to honour a famous writer by giving him a DLitt or a famous politician by giving him or her an LLD. Thats all I want to talk about today. Are there any questions?Student: May I ask
