## 题目原文

00:00:01,020 
 Section three. 
 00:00:03,030 
 You will hear a student called John talking to his classmate Danny about the details of his research project. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:00:20,160 
 Now, listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:00:52,900 
 So tell me about your research project, John. 
 00:00:56,260 
 I created a questionnaire for the study to determine people’s opinions of the relative feasibility of earning a living in Brisbane. 
 00:01:04,379 
 Oh, cool. How is it scored? Are they all multiple-choice questions? 
 00:01:08,720 
 Well, the questions consist primarily of yes or no responses. There are two free response questions at the end. Participants will use a computer to fill in their answers. That way, it is really easy to analyze the data afterward. 
 00:01:25,120 
 Great. It sounds like you have a pretty solid idea of what you should do. Just don’t forget to submit a copy of your plans to Professor Curran by the fifteenth. 
 00:01:36,540 
 Oh, I, I almost forgot. 
 00:01:38,400 
 Hmm. You don’t do it for the high grade or appraise, but he can review and give you feedback. 
 00:01:44,720 
 Right. That will be helpful. He has been conducting studies like this for thirty years now. 
 00:01:51,140 
 Yep. Oh, and I’m curious, are you going to be in the room giving subjects directions for the questionnaire? 
 00:01:58,140 
 Well, I think the instructions will be provided by another representative who will not be analyzing the data. I want them to feel they can answer and be completely anonymous, so I will not be in the room. Anonymity is really important for this study. 
 00:02:14,420 
 I agree. Good idea. You should tell the representative to remind subjects to fully consider both sides of each issue. 
 00:02:23,900 
 Sometimes it’s really easy to immediately check yes or no without stopping to think about it completely. 
 00:02:32,200 
 That’s so true. It’s like a race to finish the questionnaire first or something. I’ll make sure to include that in the instructions. 
 00:02:40,850 
 This report has to be perfect. 
 00:02:43,360 
 Wow, what’s the big deal? I know it’s part of your grades and all. 
 00:02:47,820 
 Well, it’s that, but also, a well-executed study could grab the attention of faculty in the department, which would be a huge deal. 
 00:02:56,660 
 So for attention? 
 00:02:58,380 
 No, silly. I mean, I could really gain the respect of professors who may later take me on as a graduate student in their labs. 
 00:03:07,040 
 Oh, I see. 
 00:03:11,140 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:03:27,280 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:03:44,960 
 Let me take a look at the survey. Wow, this looks great. The map of the median income by region is a great tool. Where did you find it? 
 00:03:54,500 
 Well, thanks. I read a lot of sources and just noticed this one in the small psychology journal called Modern Psychology. It’s more helpful than the photo I added, but I think the photo is just so interesting. It was in the newspaper last year during that huge wage strike. 
 00:04:12,040 
 It’s great. Probably not necessary, but it looks great. I don’t understand. What is WKRX’s involvement here? 
 00:04:20,720 
 Oh, the radio station agreed to sponsor the study if I play their station in the room. 
 00:04:26,280 
 Wow. Interesting. So you don’t have to pay for any of this? 
 00:04:31,100 
 Exactly. 
 00:04:32,100 
 Nice. Where did you get that idea? 
 00:04:34,620 
 Last month at the psychology club council meeting, someone talked about how easy it is to get sponsorship from local businesses. So I listened to their advice and called around. 
 00:04:45,770 
 I’ll have to remember that. Well, this all looks great. Good luck. 
 00:04:52,680 
 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. 
 00:05:28,000 
 Now turn to section four.
