Writer "T" for true and "F" for false. [00:41.26]A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the time [00:49.43]when he should have been digging the ground for planting the new crop of potatoes. [00:58.43]He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, [01:06.92]but that she could manage to do the planting; [01:12.50]and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors [01:20.06]who would be willing to do the digging for him. [01:25.90]" Please do not dig the potato field. I hid the money and the gun there." [01:35.65]Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. It said, [01:43.93]" I think somebody is reading your letters before they go out of the prison. [01:52.54]Some policemen arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field. [02:01.86]What shall I do now?"The prisoner wrote back at once, [02:08.81]" Plant the potatoes, of course." [02:14.39]Exercise 2 [02:18.10]Directions: [02:21.52]Listen to the story again and note down what the husband said in his first letter [02:29.65]and the wife's reply. [02:33.58]Then work in groups to complete the two letters. Read them to the class. [02:42.47]A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the time [02:50.82]when he should have been digging the ground for planting the new crop of potatoes. [02:59.93]He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, [03:08.50]but that she could manage to do the planting; [03:14.18]and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors [03:21.89]who would be willing to do the digging for him. [03:27.68]So he wrote a letter to his wife which said, [03:33.84]" Please do not dig the potato field. I hid the money and the gun there." [03:44.42]Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. It said, [03:53.21]" I think somebody is reading your letters before they go out of the prison. [04:01.60]Some policemen arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field. [04:11.21]What shall I do now?"The prisoner wrote back at once, [04:18.84]" Plant the potatoes, of course." [04:24.31]Listening 2 [04:28.02]Exercise 1 [04:32.30]Directions: [04:35.62]Listen to the passage [04:38.82]and fill in the table with the information you get from the tape. [04:45.12]The manager of a large office building [04:50.05]received many complaints about the lift service in the building. [04:56.50]He hired a group of engineers to study the situation. [05:02.18]They suggested two solutions: [05:07.19]1. adding more lifts of the same type; [05:14.03]2. replacing the lifts with faster ones. [05:20.18]The manager decided that both suggestions were too expensive. [05:27.10]So he asked a psychologist to study the problem. [05:33.18]The psychologist noticed that many people felt [05:39.01]angry and impatient because they thought they had to wait too long for the lift. [05:47.65]However,the psychologist found that they only had to wait a relatively short time. [05:56.94]It occurred to him that the reason they felt angry and impatient [06:04.28]was that they had nothing to do while they were waiting for the lifts. [06:11.09]He suggested a simple,inexpensive solution to the manager. [06:18.00]This was adopted and complaints stopped immediately. [06:25.27]The solution was to place a large mirror next to the lifts. [06:33.16]Exercise 2 [06:37.30]Directions: [06:40.75]Listen to the passage again and then discuss in groups to find out: [06:48.78]1)the reasons why complaints stopped immediately after the solution was adopted; [06:58.03]2)other possible solutions to the problem.
