[03:34.14]Passage 1
[03:36.90]Nilrikman and others of the halfway research group have done some research
[03:42.49]into the differences between average and good negotiators.
[03:47.56]They found negotiators with the good trait record and studied them in action.
[03:52.96]They compared them with another group of average negotiators
[03:57.18]and found that there was no difference in the time
[03:59.85]that the two groups spent on planningtheir strategy.
[04:03.67]However, there were some significant differences on otherpoints.
[04:08.36]The average negot iators thought in terms of the present,
[04:12.38]but thegood negotiators took a long-time review.
[04:16.19]They made lots of suggestionsand considered twice the number of the alternatives.
[04:21.22]The average negotiators set their objectives as single points.
[04:25.72]We hope to get two dollars, for example.
[04:28.71]The good negotiators set their objectives in terms of range,
[04:33.39]which they might formulate as "We hope to get two dollars,
[04:37.22]but if we get one dollar and fifty, it will be all right.".
[04:41.20]The averagenegotiators tried to persuade by giving lots of reasons.
[04:46.14]They use a lot of different arguments.
[04:49.18]The good negotiators didn't give many reasons.
[04:52.70]They just repeated the same ones.
[04:55.16]They also did more summarizing andreviewing,
[04:58.35]checking they were understood correctly.
[05:02.86]Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have juat heard.
[05:08.00]Q11.What do good negotiators and average negotiators have in common?
[05:18.93]Q12.According to the speaker,what would good negotiators do?
[05:30.03]Q13. According to the speaker,what does the average negot iator usually do?
[05:42.00]Passage 2
[05:44.41]To most of us sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea
[05:48.85]and they at tack humans.
[05:50.75]However, according to Doctor Clark,
[05:53.07]who has studied the behaviorof sharks for twelve years,
[05:56.49]humans are not normally on the shark' s menu.
[05:59.91]What do sharks feed on, mainly fish and other sea animals?
[06:05.41]Doctor Clark also found that sharks don' t eat as much food as people think.
[06:10.75]For instance,a nine-year-old shark only needs two pound of food a day to keep healthy.
[06:17.21]But she says, sharks sometimes starve and at other times
[06:20.76]they fill themselves with what they have killed.
[06:23.71]Around the world, there are onlyabout one hundred shark attacks on humans each year,
[06:29.90]ten of which proved fatal.
[06:32.50]But consider this, in the US alone,
[06:35.44]about three million people are bitten by dogs each year.
[06:39.42]0f these, thirty people die.
[06:42.20]If sharks bite you,says Doc tor Clark,
[06:44.94]the reason is usually because of the mistake you natural food.
[06:49.27]For example, say you went underwater- fishing and saw a shark,
[06:53.54]you could be in trouble.
[06:55.40]The shark might go for the injured fish you haattacked
[06:58.10]and take a bite of you at the same time.
[07:01.53]If you go into a shark's territory and threaten it,
[07:05.24]it might try to bite you.
[07:07.04]That's because sharksare territorial and tend to guard their territory.
[07:11.87]Like dogs, they prot ectthe area they think is their own.
[07:17.36]Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have juat heard.
[07:24.03]Q14.What does the passage say about the eating behavior of sharks?
[07:34.46]Q15.When might a shark attach humans?
[07:45.32]Q16.What do we learn from the passage about sharks?
[07:55.39]Passage 3
[07:58.41]Science fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on the Mars.
[08:04.49]But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously.
[08:08.63]It hasa great deal to recommend it,
[08:11.41]since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth.
[08:15.12]But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort
[08:18.21]unless people could live there naturally.
[08:21.90]If the at mosphere were like that of the earth,this might be possible.
[08:26.55]But in fact it is mostly carbonoxidite.
[08:29.80]Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome.
[08:33.67]For example,
[08:34.87]the temperature would have to be raised from 6degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it.
[08:42.25]Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow.
[08:47.05]To begin with,
[08:48.32]they will haveto find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past.
[08:54.51]Secondly they will have to make a reliable map of its surface.
[08:59.68]Andfinally, they will have to make a list of the gases.
[09:03.45]Above all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses.
[09:08.67]Since nitrogen is fourfifths of the air we breathe,
[09:12.75]they are surprising optimistic about raisingthe temperature on Mars
[09:17.73]and believe it could be down in hundred years.
[09:21.49]It will take a bit longer, though,
[09:23.88]to transform the atmosphere so thathuman beings could live there.
[09:28.20]Scientists estimate this will take onehundred t housand years.
[09:34.91]Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have juat heard.
[09:41.09]Q17.Why are scientists interested in Mars?
[09:50.67]Q18.What is the one of the things that must be done if a man can live on Mars?
[10:02.74]Q19. Why do scientist want to find out whether there is sufficient ni trogenon Mars?
[10:15.54]Q20.What is the prospect of people living on Mars?
