Scientists now know that the surface of the earth is not as permanent as it had been thought. Scientists explain that the surfac
36、e of our planet is always in motion. Continents move about the earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the earths outer skin, or crust. Only since the 1960s have scientists begun to understand that the earth is a great, living structure.(14)Some experts say this new understanding is on
37、e of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents a process called plate tectonics(构造学 ).

42、【听力原文】 Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to introduce our speaker for todays lecture, Dr. Adam Green. Dr. Green, professor of communication at Harvard University USA,(16)has written numerous articles and books on the issues about negotiation, which is much more diffi
43、cult than normal talk. Although most used in business areas, it is more and more important in peoples daily life. Dr. Green: Thank you for that introduction. I feel honored to give a speech here. There are some people that love the art of negotiation. Some even live for it. They thrive on the excite
44、ment, elevated blood pressure and adrenal rush that comes with the “search for agreement“ that negotiations represent. Im sure youve met these competitive types before: they almost always have the last word: theyre on the aggressive side of normal: they send back their salad because there werent eno
45、ugh croutons(油煎面包块 ). Then there are the rest of us. We avoid negotiation, not because were scared, but because its so awfully close to an argument. Okay, maybe were just the slightest bit scared. Or, rather, lets call it “out of our comfort zone,“ instead of scared thats much more civil. (17)Regard
46、less of how it makes you feel, negotiating is a skill that every business person needs from the CEO to the temp secretary. And when it comes to negotiating, its all about the words you choose and how you put them together. Literary types call that “diction.“ Were just gonna call it “owning it.“ (18)
47、9 times out of 10, negotiations are about one of two things: money, or time, and theres a good chance that youll be talking about both simultaneously at one point or another. Since both deal with what statisticians call “continuous variables,“ meaning that they can go on forever, theoretically, you
48、can discuss them in the same way. For example: lets say you tell an employee or outside contractor that you need a job done “somewhere between 3 and 5 days from now.“ Right from the start, youre fighting against yourself by giving them two points to choose from, and showing them that youre indecisiv
49、e, which can be read as being a pushover. Not only that, but youre almost always guaranteed to end up waiting for the date furthest away, or if youre talking money, paying the higher price. But its important not to aim too high.(19)When your negotiation is centered on money a salary or raise, for example I find that its best to shoot first, aim high, and ask questions later. 1 know, Im using a lot of gun metaphors forgive me. Theres a reason that you want to beat them to the punch: whatever number is thrown out first is the number that bo
