【学生倡议】：

学生写信建议学校在学生宿舍内装小冰箱。原因：

1. 学生可以去拿snacks when they are studying and relaxing;

2. 小冰箱不占地方。

【学生态度】：女生不同意。原因：

1. 有公用的refrigerator, 而且学生去拿东西吃也不用走很远。

2. 冰箱再小也占地方，宿舍要放家具、衣服、书本，放不下冰箱。

Question: Explain the woman’s opinion and why she holds that opinion.

Question 4

Reading part

Listening part

【名词解释】：respending effect:

人们倾向于选择energy - efficient appliance, 可是由于选择了energy - efficient的东西，节省了钱，就有更多的钱买其他东西了，最后消耗了更多的energy。

【教授举例】：教授举了一个家庭的例子。某人家里有台老冰箱，很费电，后来买了节能的，省电了，电费的花销也少了。到了夏天，家里用省下来的钱买了空调，空调+新冰箱，电费又高了。

Question: 用听力的例子来解释对这个概念的理解。

Question 5

【学生困难】：女生的教授叫她读一本书，而且是某个特定的translation版本，但图书管里no copy available, 要wait until next month, 这样就不能read in advance了。

【解决方案】：

1. order online, 问题是也得wait;

2. 向去年已经上过这课的人借这本书。但是用过的书肯定有标记，划线，女生喜欢读新书，这样可以在阅读思考的同时标注。

Question 6

【讲课要点】：two adaptations used to overcome problems in birds migration:

1. special protein in the blood to absorb more oxygen in higher area;

2. extra blood in chest cell, which can support the flight with energy and strength.
