18、 M: Im Will Arditti, and this week were going to talk about what students coming to study in the US can do to avoid culture shock in the classroom. We invite Susan Iannuzzi. Shes an international consultant in English language teaching who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hi, Susan. Welcome. W: Th
19、anks. M: So tell me what you did about it? W: Well. Actually, one of the things that we did at the University of Pittsburgh was we used the sports equivalence, which, you know, is not something we came up with. Its the three conversational styles of, say, bowling, rugby and basketball. So, for examp
20、le, (1) the bowling style. That would be considered something perhaps highly considerate, which means that people from those countries would use a style where they would take turns and they would, you know, hold back if theyre a junior person and allow the older person or the more senior person to s
21、peak first. And then when they are asked for their opinion they would jump in. M: Just like you would take turns in a bowling game. W: Exactly. You go and roll and Ill wait for you, and now its my turn, and everybody knows that there are going to be turns. M: So thats the high-considerate model. W:
22、Yes. Then theres, you know, the rugby style, which might be the other end. And this is high-involvement. And in this style youre expected to interrupt other people and the other people are fine with that, they expect to be interrupted. So theres a sort of rapid changing of topic, changing of speaker
23、s and overlapping of speech. (2) This is a style thats common in southern Europe, in African cultures. in cultures of Latin America. many voices happening at one time. Its also a style in Russia and Greece. M: And then the basketball model? W: Well, the basketball model is a little bit closer to wha
24、t we have here. So think abofut it as if youre playing basketball. Youre carrying out the conversation, youre just going along. And when you hesitate, other people see that as an opportunity to jump in and steal the ball, to steal the conversation away. Not in a bad way, but just as Oh, its my turn
25、now. M: So what would you recommend, what practical things would you recommend for someone whos coming into this country who really knows nothing about these styles that youre talking about? W: Well, you know, (3 - 1) if theyre in an English language learning situation. I think its really helpful fo
26、r them to realize that the other people that are there learning with them may come from different styles. so not to make judgments about them. you know. as. Oh. youre rude or Youre inconsiderate or Youre just very quiet and you never say anything. Because these things may not be someones true person
27、ality. They may just be the conversation style that theyre accustomed to. M: Yeah. W: So, first of all, awareness, I think, is the number one thing. (3 - 2) It also helps if the instructors point these things out to people, because its not something that most of us are going to reflect on in our own
28、 lives. think about, well, how do I interact in a conversation? I dont know what I do, I just do it. M: Youre saying that the basketball model tends to be maybe more the traditional style in the U. S. classroom. But is that always the case? W: (4) You know, the dynamic of each class is different. I
29、know that in. for example. the MBA schools. the students are expected to do a lot of project work, so the professors may not be as involved in directing classroom interaction. There may be a lot of times when the students are working amongst themselves. I would imagine in teacher-led classes that th
30、is dynamic is much more apparent. I personally remember an instructor, I cant remember where this professor was from, but the topic of the class just seemed to change constantly, as if, you know, And now were going to talk about something completely different. It made for, you know, a challenging ti
31、me in taking notes. M: And then there are the challenges of everyday language. Even a common way that Americans avoid confusion when spelling a name out loud can be confusing if youre not familiar with it. W: I remember a physician who had, you know, very good written English. He was used to writing
32、 papers and he could even present very well because he had presented at international conferences. But when he went to set up phone service, and (5) he was telling them My last name starts with T and they would say T like table? he said No, Im not a table. I dont need a table. Its T. And he didnt un
33、derstand that they were using this strategy, this device of associating, you know, first letter of your name with a common object so that we make sure that we write a T instead of a D. M: Susan lannuzzi is a consultant on English language teaching who also writes textbooks. And thats all for our int

36、alking to Richard Johnson, an official of WHO, the World Health Organization. Today he will talk with us about the change of peoples understanding of health. Hello, Richard. M: Hello. W: Now Richard, the concept of health has been changing all the time. And different people and groups hold different
37、 opinions towards it. Would you mind telling us the original concept of health? M: Of course not. (5 - 1) Health has long been viewed in the physical sense only. That is, good health has been connected to the smooth mechanical operation of body, while ill health has been attributed to a breakdown in
38、 this machine. In this sense, (1) health has been defined as the absence of disease or illness and is seen in medical terms. Therefore, creating health for people means providing medical care to treat or prevent disease and illness. W: Then what was the emphasis of the work of the WHO during that pe
39、riod? M: Well, the emphasis was of course on providing clean water, improved sanitation and housing. W: I see. When did the concept begin to change? M: (2) In the late 1940s, the WHO challenged this physically and medically oriented view of health. (5 - 2) They stated that health was a complete stat
40、e of physical. mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. (2) The mind, body and spirit of a person were seen holistically. W: How long did this concept last? M: It lasted until the 1970s. At that time, people focused their attention on the prevention of disease and illness
41、by emphasizing the importance of the lifestyle and behavior of the individual. Specific behaviors which were seen to increase risk of disease, such as smoking, lack of fitness and unhealthy eating habits, were targeted. (5 - 3) Creating health meant providing not only medical health care, but health
42、 promotion programs and policies which would help people maintain healthy behavior and lifestyles. W: It sounds reasonable. It must have been beneficial to people. M: Unfortunately, not. W: But why? M: (3) You see, this individualistic healthy lifestyles approach did help the wealthy members of the
43、society. But the majority were people experiencing poverty, unemployment or little control over the conditions of their daily lives. How could people afford the program if they lived under unfavorable social and environmental factors? W: Im beginning to see your point. A single lifestyle decides not
44、hing if not integrated with a good environment. M: Thats right. So during the 1980s and 1990s, there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of poor health. While lifestyle factors still remain important, (4) health is being viewed also in terms of the social, eco
45、nomic and environmental contexts in which people live. W: This is a new concept of health. And I heard its called the socio-ecological view, isnt it? M: Yes. In 1986, representatives from 38 countries gathered in Ottawa, Canada, to hold the first International Conference of Health Promotion. It was
46、at that conference that (5-4) the broad socio-ecological view of health was endorsed. W: What were the details of the endorsement? M: Well, the representatives declared that the fundamental conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, a viable income, a stable ecosystem,
47、sustainable resources, social justice and equity. Moreover, improvement in health requires a secure foundation in these basic requirements. From this statement, we can find that the creation of health is about much more than encouraging healthy individual behaviors and lifestyles and providing appro
48、priate medical care. It must include addressing such issues as poverty, pollution, urbanization, natural resource depletion, social alienation and poor working conditions. W: Oh, I see. But how are they affecting health? M: They do not operate separately. Rather, they are interacting and interdepend
49、ent. The complex interrelationships between them determine the conditions that promote health. A broad socio-ecological view of health suggests that the promotion of health must include a strong social, economic and environmental focus. W: Thats right. M: As we all know, good health is a major source for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of quality of life. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioral and biological factors can all favor health or be
