## 题目原文

00:00:01,340 
 Section three. 
 00:00:04,020 
 You will hear a student called Julie talking to her classmate named Ricky about a new essay that Professor Johnson assigned. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-four. 
 00:00:20,200 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-four. 
 00:00:57,680 
 Hi, Julie. It's Ricky. 
 00:00:59,760 
 Hi, Ricky. How are you? I noticed you weren't in psychology today. 
 00:01:04,220 
 I'm feeling sick, so I didn't go to school today. Would you mind telling me what I missed in class? 
 00:01:09,540 
 Sure thing. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Anyway, we spent most of the class talking about a new essay that Professor Johnson assigned. You need to choose one of the bold headings from the note system and research it. 
 00:01:22,340 
 Wow. I picked the wrong day to miss class, huh? 
 00:01:25,940 
 You sure did. 
 00:01:27,780 
 Could you tell me the specific requirements of this paper? 
 00:01:31,100 
 Sure. You need to find scientific research that supports your claim as one of your references. It can be from some of the case studies we discussed in class, or you can find your own. Or even better, you can conduct your own research. I'm sure that would get you an A. 
 00:01:49,260 
 Have you decided what you're going to do yet? Also, where are you getting your references? 
 00:01:55,900 
 Yeah, I'm gonna research facial recognition by infants. I've already found a few experiments in scientific journals. That would probably be a good start for you. There are tons of journals in the library. 
 00:02:08,680 
 Great idea. Thanks. I'm considering writing my essay on the effects of one of the psychotropic drugs we talked about in class. I'm sure there is lots of stuff about it on the Internet. Are we allowed to use information from the Internet? 
 00:02:22,000 
 Sure. You can use that as long as it's not your main source for information. You'll probably want to cite some of the experiments we went over. 
 00:02:29,980 
 Good idea. Thanks. I'm gonna try to find some information from a bunch of different sources. 
 00:02:37,280 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty. 
 00:02:49,220 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 
 00:03:29,720 
 Are there any specifications on how the essay should be written? 
 00:03:34,340 
 Yeah. Professor Johnson wants it double-spaced. It should be between six to ten pages long. 
 00:03:40,720 
 Six to ten pages? That's so much. Oh, it's gonna take forever. 
 00:03:46,740 
 I know. The whole class groaned when he said that. Anyway, you also need to put the title in italics and- 
 00:03:54,520 
 Wait, wait. Each section heading or just the main heading? 
 00:03:58,760 
 Only the main heading should be in italics. I think section titles are supposed to be in the same format, but maybe in bold. You'll have to check that in class next time. 
 00:04:09,120 
 Oh, okay. So I take it that the report has to be typed since there are so many requirements. What are the other formatting requirements? 
 00:04:17,600 
 Yep, it's got to be typed. Aside from that, there are still a few more specifications. You should number each page. Make sure it goes up in the top right corner. 
 00:04:29,220 
 Okay, I'll make sure to write that down. I always forget to number the pages. Do we need to title and date each page, too? 
 00:04:38,100 
 You need the shortened title on every page, but no need to include the date. That should just be on the cover page. 
 00:04:45,180 
 Okay, thanks. 
 00:04:46,640 
 No problem. Also, make sure the margins are three point two five pixels wide. 
 00:04:53,080 
 What? I'm not even sure how to do that. 
 00:04:56,120 
 It's okay. I can show you. It's really easy. I think that's all the directions he gave us. A lot of formatting requirements, but we have the freedom to research many things that we like, so that's good. Oh, I almost forgot. Remember to put down your ID number on your report. 
 00:05:14,840 
 Thanks so much for your help. I'll see you in class Monday. 
 00:05:18,580 
 No problem. Glad I could help. See you later. 
 00:05:23,280 
 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
