10、ns this term. In the past, many students have said how they have appreciated the classes. Why didnt they tell me that at school? is one of the most frequent remarks. Further education is quite different from being at school, as I am sure you re finding out. You will be treated more【 21】 but you will
11、 also be expected to be much more independent. This means that there is far more pressure on you to take your own decisionssuch as working out a【 22】 and sticking to it. Ill give you our programme for the term during the break, by the way. You may also find that you are asked to do things in a diffe
12、rent way from classes at schooltaking part in seminars and【 23】 , for example. That is going to be the theme of this evening: speaking skills. Ill refer to writing from time to time because I am not going to talk about pronunciationI am talking more about the ways in which we structure【 24】 in Engli
13、sh, the way we organize what we say. All too soon you will need to do thiswhen you are asked to present your ideas on the particular jobin a【 25】 or in writingor both. I think it would be as well to run through some of the conventions that we generally use. Much of this may be familiar to some of yo
14、u, but I think it is worth saying again. I shall【 26】three areas: first, the beginning, a good introduction; then, the middle, making your point【 27】 , giving examples and linking it altogether logically; and finally, the end, coming to a good conclusion. Today well also look at ways of agreeingand【
15、 28】 even ways of interrupting and taking floorbut first Id like each of you to take a clean sheet of papernow divide the page【 29】 into three【 30】 about the same size if you canhand the one on the left functionthe other two are one for speaking and one for writingnow the column on the left.

It is not surprising,【 66】 , that Americans have
25、 valued education for its monetary value. The belief is wide spread in the United States that the more【 67】 (school) people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of an undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree s
26、uch as medicine or law following the undergraduate degree. The money value of graduate degrees in “non【 68】 “ fields such as art, history, or philosophy is not as great. This belief in the monetary value of education is supported by st【 69】 on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated th
27、at in the course of a li【 70】 a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about ￥ 380,000 more than a man with just a high school di【 71】 Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that Americans who wished they had led their lives【 72】 (differ) in some way regretted most of all t
28、hat they did not get more education. The regret is s【 73】 by those who have made it to the top and by those who have not. Journalist Richard Reeves quotes a black worker in a Ford au【 74】 factory. When I was in the ninth grade, I was getting bad grades and messing【 75】 . My father came home in the k
29、itchen one night with a pair of Ford work pants and he threw them in my face. “Put these on,“ he said, “because you re going to be wearing them the rest of your life if you dont get an education. “ Douglas Fraser, the president of the United Auto Workers Union, regretted not finishing high school so
30、 much that he oct【 76】 lied about it. He told Richard Reeves about his pride in【 77】 (graduate) from high school, but then a few minutes later he said: I wasnt telling the truth about high school. I never finished. I q【 78】 in the twelfth grade to take a job. Its funny after all these years, I still
31、 lie about it. Because the fact is, I still think it was a stupid thing to do. I【 79】 have finished my education. Even a man like Fraser, a nationally known and successful l【 80】 , was troubled by regrets that he did not climb higher on the educational ladder. Section A 60 According to usage and con
32、ventions which are at last being questioned but have by no means been overcome, the social presence of a woman is different in kind from that of a man. A mans presence is dependent upon the promise of power which he embodies. If the promise is large and credible his presence is striking. If it is sm
33、all or incredible, he is bound to have little presence. The promised power may be moral, physical, temperamental, economic, social, and sexualbut its object is always exterior to the man. A mans presence suggests what he is capable of doing to you or for you. His presence may be fabricated, in the s
34、ense that he pretends to be capable of what he is not. But the pretense is always toward a power which he exercises on others. By contrast, a womans presence expresses her own attitude to herself, and defines what can and cannot be done to her. Her presence is manifest in her gestures, voices, opini
35、ons expressions, clothes, chosen surroundings, tasteindeed there is nothing she can do which does not contribute to her presence. Presence for a woman is so intrinsic to her person that men tend to think of it as an almost physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura. To be born a woman has b
36、een to be born, within an allotted and confined space, into the keeping of men. The social presence of women has developed as a result of their ingenuity in living under such tutelage within such a limited space. But this has been at the cost of a womans self being split into two. A woman must conti
37、nually watch herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. And so she comes to consider the surve
38、yor and the surveyed within her as the two constituents yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and ultimately how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought
39、 of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another. Men survey women before treating them. Consequently how a woman appears to a man can determine how she will be treated. To acquire some control over this process, wo
40、men must contain it and internalize it. That part of a womans self which is the surveyor treats the part which is the surveyed as to demonstrate to others how her whole self would like to be treated. And this exemplary treatment of herself by herself constitutes her presence. Every womans presence r
41、egulates what is and is not “permissible“ within her presence. Every one of her actionswhatever its direct purpose or motivationis also read as an indication of how she would like to be treated. If a woman throws a glass on the floor, this is an example of how she treats her own emotion of anger and
42、 so of how she would wish to be treated by others. If a man does the same, his action is only read as an expression of his anger. If a woman makes a good joke this is an example of how she treats the joker in herself and accordingly of how she as joker-woman would like to be treated by others. Only
43、a man can make a good joke for its own sake. 61 According to “usage and conventions,“ appearance is NECESSARILY a part of reality for _. （ A） men （ B） women （ C） both men and women （ D） neither men nor women 62 In analyzing a womans customary “social presence,“ the author hopes to _. （ A） justify an
44、d reinforce it. （ B） understand and explain it. （ C） expose and discredit it. （ D） demonstrate and criticize it. 63 It can be inferred from the passage that a woman with a Ph D in psychology who gives a lecture to a group of students is probably MOST concerned with _. （ A） whether her students learn
45、 the material （ B） what the males in the audience think of her （ C） how she comes off as a speaker in psychology （ D） whether a man challenges her 64 Which one of the following is NOT implied by the passage? （ A） Women have split personalities. （ B） Men are not image-conscious. （ C） Good looks are m
46、ore important to women than to men. （ D） A man is defined by what he does, whereas a woman is defined by how she appears. 65 The primary purpose of the passage is to _. （ A） compare and contrast womans presence and place in society with that of mans （ B） discuss a womans presence and place in societ
47、y and to contrast it with a mans presence and place （ C） illustrate how a woman is oppressed by society （ D） explain why men are better than women at telling jokes Section B 65 The Totara Language Institute is part of the University of Waikato in the city of Hamilton, in New Zealand s North Island.
