Question 6 【讲课要点】
People like hiking, walking around or viewing scenery in forests and create
paths. However, these actions may affect plants and animals. There are two
ways to protect the natural environment from disturbance while allowing
tourists to visit the nature.
1. Separating human from the environment by building trails; tourists are
only allowed to walk along the trails;
2. Limiting the size of the visiting group and restrict number of tourists per
day. Only small groups with a guide are allowed. For example, assign a tour
guide for a small group of tourists to reduce the impact on the environment.

Question 4 Reading part Listening part
【名词解释】
Short-term memory: a temporary
storage of information.
1. decay (not being used)
2. interference (new information)
【教授举例】
For example, you are out with your
classmate and you want to dial
someone’s cell phone’s number which
you don’t know. So you ask you
classmate and call your friend. But
after two hours when your friend are
not with you, since the number has not
been used after that, you couldn’t
remember and recall the number again
because it has faded away. That’s
decay.
The professor uses his own
experience to illustrate interference.
He went to the bookstore and made a
list of the books he wanted, but he
forgot to take it with him and left it in
his car, but he thought he could remind
himself of the books listed. However,
when he ran into his friend in the
bookstore and talked for a while, all he
could remember is the book his friend
mentioned that was quite interesting.
The new information interfered with the
original one. That’s interference.
Question: 用听力的例子来解释对这个概念的理解。

Question 6 【讲课要点】
Two types of animal groups that gather together for the purpose of
protection
The first one is complex group in which there are a lot of social interactions
among group members. For example, a group of elephants, if an elephant
gets injured, other elephants will take care of him, give him food and water,
and nurse him to help him heal and recover.
The second one is simple group in which there tend to be little interactions.
For example, a group of fish, even though they gather together for
protection, they don’t really know each other. One fish even couldn’t
recognize the fish that is next to him. They don’t interact with each other.
