Passage 1
Related to the use it or lose it law is the keep moving principle.

A river that stops moving gets smelly.
The same thing happens to people who stop moving, either mentallyor physically.
Those who play contact sports know that the player who usually getshurt the most is the one who is standing still.
Of course, youll need some time to catch your breath every sooften,
but the essential massage is keep moving, extending and learning.
Ships last a lot longer when they go to sea than when they stay inthe harbor.
The same is true for airplanes.
You dont preserve an airplane by keeping it on the ground.
You preserve it by keeping it in service.
We also get to live a long healthy life by staying in service.
Longevity statistics reveal that the average person doesnt lastvery long after retirement.
The more well hear is dont retire.
If a fellow says Im 94 years old and I worked all my life, :94
we need to realize, that is how he got to be 94, by stayinginvolved. 94

and Pablo Picasso put brush to canvas right through his eighties. 80
Isnt the issue how old we think we are? ?
A bonus with the keep moving principle is that while we keepmoving, we dont have a chance to worry.
Hence, we avoid the dreaded paralysis by analysis.

Passage 2

In 2014, one in 16 Americans visited the hospital emergency roomfor home injuries. 201416
One of the main causes of these accidents? A wandering mind! ?!
By one estimate, people daydream through nearly half of theirwaking hours.
Psychologists have recently focused on the tendency to think aboutsomething other than the task one is doing.
For one experiment, researchers developed an app to analyze therelationship between daydreaming and happiness.
They found that the average persons mind wandered most frequently(about 65% of the time) during personal activities, such as brushing theirteeth and combing their hair. (65%)
Respondents minds tended to wander more when they felt upset ratherthan happy.
They were more likely to wander toward pleasant topics thanunpleasant ones.
How do daydreams affect daydreamers? ?
A wandering mind leaves us vulnerable when driving.
In one study, researchers interview 955 people involved in trafficaccidents. 955
The majority of them reported having daydream just before theaccident.
Yet other research suggests that daydreaming has benefits.
Researchers have found that it gives us a chance to think about ourgoals and it also seems to increase creativity.
In one experiment, 145 undergraduates completed four unusual usestasks, 145
each requiring them to list as many uses as possible for everydayobject.
After the first pair of tasks was completed,
one group of participants was assigned an undemanding activityintended to cause their minds to wander.
When all the participants proceeded to the second pair of tasks,the daydreamers performed 40 percent better than the others. 40%
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12 What does the passage say about peoples mind? ?
13 For what purpose did the researchers develop the new app? ?
14 How does daydreaming benefit people according to someresearchers? ?
15 What was the finding of the experiment with 145 undergraduates? 145?

Section C

Recording 1
Dating from as far back as the 12th century, they are claimed to bethe rarest historic buildings in western Europe. 12
These buildings offer vital insights into Scandinavias Viking past.
But now, with only 30 wooden churches remaining and their conditiondeteriorating, 30
experts are working to preserve the structures for futuregenerations.
Some of these spectacular churches are no more than smallbuildings, barely four meters wide and six meters tall.
Others are much larger structures.
They soar up to 40 meters into the cold air. 40
Most consist of timber frames that rest on stone blocks.
This means that they have no foundations.
Although many of the churches appear from the outside to be complexstructures,
they normally feature only a single storey but numerous different rooflevels.
Staff from the Norwegian government have carried out conservationwork on 10 of the churches over the past two years. 10
Most of these churches date from between the 12th and 14thcenturies. 1214
Other churches were conserved in previous years.
So far, specialists have worked to add preservative materials tothe churches exteriors.
They also replaced rotting roots and halted the sinking of thechurches into the ground.
In two cases, huge machines have been used to lift the buildings upto 30 centimeters into the air. 30
This was accomplished so that the team could examine and repair thechurches original medieval stone blocks.
The team plans to return to around a dozen of the buildings toassess progress and consider further action. 12
The earliest free-standing wooden church was probably built inNorway in around 1080. 1080
However, the largest known wooden churches were built from the1130s onwards. 1130
This period was one of inter-elite rivalry in which
nobles sought to increase their influence by funding theconstruction of churches and other buildings.
The reason for constructing the buildings from wood is probablythat
ideally proportioned straight and slender timber was available inlarge quantities in Scandinavias vast pine forests.
As wood was so plentiful, it was cheaper to use than the stone usedin the buildings of other European cultures.
The areas ship-building tradition, partly established by theVikings,
also meant that sophisticated carpentry was a major aspect of thelocal culture.
The complex style of the medieval wooden church carvings, and theskills used to make them,
almost certainly derive from the ancient Viking tradition.

16 What does the speaker say about the Viking wooden churches? ?
17 What is special about most of the Viking wooden churches? ?
18 Why were the Viking churches constructed from wood? ?

In last weeks lecture, we discussed the characteristics of thenewly born offspring of several mammals.
You probably remember that human infants are less developedphysically than other mammals of the same age.
But in todays lecture, well look at three very interesting studiesthat hint at the surprising abilities of human babies.
In the first study, 3-year-olds watch two videos shown side byside,
each featuring a different researcher, one of whom theyd met once,two years earlier.
The children spent longer watching the video showing the researcherthey hadnt met.
This is consistent with young childrens usual tendency to looklonger at things that arent familiar.
And really this is amazing! !
It suggests the children remembered the researcher theyd met justone time when they were only one-year-olds.
Of course, as most of us forget memories from our first few yearsas we grow older,
these early long-term memories will likely be lost in subsequentyears.
Our second study is about music.
For this study researchers played music to babies through speakerslocated on either side of a human face.
They waited until the babies got bored and inverted their gaze fromthe face.
And then they changed the mood of the musiceither from sad tohappy, or the other way around. ---
This mood switch made no difference to the 3-month-olds, 3
but for the 9-month-olds it was enough to renew their interest andthey started looking again in the direction of the face. 9
This suggests that babies of that age can tell the differencebetween a happy melody and a sad tune.
Our final study is from 1980, but its still relevant today. 1980
In fact, its one of the most famous pieces of research about infantemotion ever published.
The study involved ordinary adults watching video clips of babies9-month or younger. 9
In the video clips, the babies made various facial expressions inresponse to real life events,
including playful interactions and painful ones.
The adult observers were able to reliably discern an assortment ofemotions on the babies faces.
These emotions included interest, joy, surprise, sadness, anger,disgust, contempt, and fear.
Next week, well be looking at this last study more closely.
In fact, we will be viewing some of the video clips from thatstudy.
And together, see how well we do in discerning the babies emotions.

19 What are the three interesting studies about? ?
20 What does the second study find about 9-month-old babies? 9?
21 What is the 1980 study about? 1980?

Today Id like to talk about the dangers of being too collaborative.
Being a good team player is a central skill in our modernworkplace.
The ability to work well with others and collaborate on projects isa sought-after ability in nearly every position.
However, placing too much emphasis on being a good team player cannegatively affect your career growth.
Dont be overly focused on gaining consensus.
Dont be too concerned with the opinions of others.
This can hinder your ability to make decisions,
speak up and gain recognition for your individual skills andstrengths.
Some people are too subordinate to others opinions,
too focused on decision consensus, too silent about their own pointof view,
too agreeable to take things on when they dont have time or energy.
This leads to building a brand of underconfident, submissive,low-impact
non-leaders and hampers their growth and career advancement.
Collaboration certainly makes your individual competencies andcontributions more difficult for outsiders to identify.
Collaborative projects mean youre sharing the spotlight withothers.
Outsiders may then find it difficult to determine yourcontributions and strengths.
This may end up costing you opportunities for promotions or payraises.
You certainly shouldnt ditch teamwork, but how can you avoid thehazards of being an over-collaborator? ?
Working in a team can have huge benefits.
Your team may have repeated successes and often gain recognition.
You then have more opportunities to expand your professionalnetwork than if you worked alone.
However, finding a balance between team efforts and individualprojects
that give you independent recognition is important for making aname for yourself and providing opportunities for advancement.
Be selective in who you work with.
This will maximize the benefits and minimize the downsides of beinga team player.
Collaborate with people who have complementary expertise.
Select projects where theres potential for mutual benefit.
Perhaps youre bringing your unique knowledge and gaining access tosomeone elses professional network.
Or maybe youre able to learn a new skill by working with someone.
Seek out your teammates purposefully rather than jumping on everynew group project opportunity.
When were too collaborative, we want everyone to agree with adecision before we proceed.
This can create unnecessary delays as you hold meetings trying toachieve consensus.
Its fine to be collaborative when seeking input,
but put a deadline on the input stage and arrive at a decision,
even if its a decision that doesnt have consensus.

22 What does the speaker say about being over collaborative? ?
23 What does the speaker say about people engaged in collaborativeprojects? ?
24 How do people benefit from working in a team? ?
25 Why is it undesirable to spend too much time trying to reachconsensus? ?
