　　【讲课要点】Marine animals protect themselves by producing lights. There were 2  ways: 方式一、sudden flash bright light: 举例：When they are under attack, deep-sea  shrimps will give a short period bright light to frighten the attackers, and  deep-sea sea shrimps can escape. 方式二、constant flash bright light; 举例： Since  their predators always hunt animals by judging dark shades, hatchet fish give  constant light to make themselves seem like sunshine. By doing this, their  predators can hardly find them.

　　Task 3

　　【学校通知】为了节能大学计划：1 关掉图书馆的灯，代之以节就灯。 2 调高空调air-condition的温度。

　　【学生态度】女生反对此计划。理由 1 学校应该把学校里的很多空教室的灯关掉来达到节能的目的。节能灯太暗，学生还得自己带台灯。理由2 如果关掉空调，in  hot day,图书馆就不够comfortable, 就没人去图书馆学习了，大家只能在宿舍复习了，但是宿舍又太吵，所以很难专心复习。

　　Task 3

　　【学校通知】the university is considering moving the student theater center from  campus to the nearby downtown. 好处 1. Downtown theater has a larger space, and it  can contain more audiences. 好处2 the new theater will have better technical  facilities, so that students can get better light and sound while they are  appreciating performances.

　　【学生态度】男生反对此计划。理由1. Audiences in the downtown theater are mainly students.  It is quite inconvenient for them to drive for 20 min to get there to see  performances, so few of them would like to go to the new theater. 理由2 the  facilities in school theater are quite basic and easy to operate. However,  students are not professional and well-trained, and the facilities in downtown  theater will be too complex for students to operate. So, students might end up  with worse lights and sounds than what they have now. So, better facilities are  not necessary.

　　Task 4

　　【名词解释】Human behavior consists of a serial of simple  behavior.有一种教育方法叫behavior chaining(行为链锁)，有时候教小孩子一件事，把complex activity  分解开来一步一步教，他们更容易理解掌握。

　　【教授举例】一个教授教他三岁的女儿如何洗手。洗手过程行为分解为五个步骤。1.打开水龙头turn on the water 2. Wet the  hands; 3 put some soap; 4. Rinse hands; 5 turn off the water.  教授先一步一步地教女儿分解动作，直到她熟悉一个动作后，再教她下一个动作。最后把所有动作连接起来，他女儿就学会如何洗手了。

　　Task 5

　　【学生困难】男生明天要去参加一个job interview,可是他把西装suit落在他父母家了。

　　【解决方案】男生自己对自己说出两个方案; 方案1 借室友的西装。男生说roommate的西装不合身，有点儿big, looks sluggish.  如果穿roommate的西装去参加面试，可能会给招聘官留一个不好的impression. 方案2  去商店买一套新的，男生说挺贵的，他想攒钱买辆自行车，如果买衣服就没钱买车了。

　　Task 6

　　【讲课要点】2 stages of children’s social development in playing: Stage 1:  associative play: if some three to four years old children play together with  same material, they think and behavior in different ways, for example, while  some 3-4 years children are playing blocks together, little Johnny may use  blocks to build a car and little Mary may use blocks to build an airplane. Stage  2: Cooperative play: if some four to six years old children play together with  the same material, they may create a house together.

　　【解决方案】男生自己说出两个方案：方案1、去附近的restaurant  buy外卖带回家，餐馆里东西也很好吃，男生不愿意去参观买，因为给6个人买外卖too  expensive。而且他其实已经买好做饭的材料了，就是没时间做而已。方案2、打电话给group  members，让他们晚一点来他的apartment,留出时间他做饭，但这样可能比较晚，大家会饿着，且可能没时间做讨论了。
