## 题目原文

00:00:00,140 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 
 00:00:04,860 
 What's up, Jen? How are you? 
 00:00:06,500 
 Oh, hey, Bill. 
 00:00:08,080 
 Where's everybody else? 
 00:00:09,400 
 I don't know. You're the first to get here. 
 00:00:11,960 
 Well, I hope they don't take too long. I have a class at noon. 
 00:00:15,480 
 Why don't we at least discuss what we've completed and what's left to do? 
 00:00:19,280 
 Sounds like a plan. Have you heard anything from Irene? 
 00:00:23,160 
 Yeah. Irene told me the experiment is just about done. She's been practically living in the lab the past week. 
 00:00:30,260 
 We owe her a favor, don't we? 
 00:00:32,920 
 You can say that again. 
 00:00:34,680 
 Has Kim been helping her? I thought the lab work was not her style. 
 00:00:39,060 
 Well, not so much in the lab, but she has started compiling the data for the analysis. 
 00:00:44,400 
 Kim is terrific. I hate doing stats. I've always been bad at math. 
 00:00:49,640 
 I always thought there wasn't anything to that boys are good at math theory. 
 00:00:53,360 
 Yes, and I'm proof. 
 00:00:56,720 
 Anyway, Kim hasn't actually run the stats for the project yet since she still has to wait for the rest of the experiment data. But she's ready to get started when we get the experiment done. Seriously, without Irene and Kim, we'd be in trouble. 
 00:01:11,660 
 Yeah, you're right about that. So what about Linda? What's she been up to? 
 00:01:17,020 
 Who knows? All she ever talks about is her fiancé. I haven't seen or heard from her all week. 
 00:01:24,000 
 Well, I hope she turns up soon. We'll need everyone if we're going to get this done on time. 
 00:01:28,480 
 Yeah. And she knows that Professor Cooper is a hard grader of projects. I'm worried that Professor Cooper is not going to give us a passing grade. Anyway, we haven't talked about the introduction yet. Have you finished reading those articles Professor Cooper gave us? 
 00:01:44,260 
 Uh... 
 00:01:45,140 
 Bill, she gave us those two weeks ago. 
 00:01:48,240 
 Hey, I've been busy. 
 00:01:49,690 
 And I haven't? Come on, Bill. 
 00:01:52,980 
 Jen, you know we all depend on you for that. You're the only person I know that reads every assignment from beginning to end. You and Professor Cooper often have private discussions about readings in the middle of class. Hey, I'm not complaining. That's why all the rest of us asked you to be on our team. 
 00:02:11,180 
 Oh, so that's why. So it wasn't because I'm popular, huh? 
 00:02:15,780 
 Hey, you're the best. No one's gonna argue that. 
 00:02:18,900 
 Hey, I'm thirsty. You want something to drink? 
 00:02:21,800 
 No, I'm good. 
 00:02:23,240 
 Okay, I'll be right back. 
 00:02:25,120 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 
 00:02:29,000 
 They're still not here? 
 00:02:30,520 
 Nope, and I've got a class I gotta get to. 
 00:02:34,020 
 Well, let's divide up responsibilities, like who's responsible for each section. It only makes sense that Irene writes up all the materials and methods since she spent the most time with that. 
 00:02:45,000 
 Oh, that's easy. 
 00:02:46,380 
 Hey, didn't you just say we owe her one? 
 00:02:48,580 
 Yeah, yeah, you're right. Irene can do the methodology section. 
 00:02:53,000 
 Do you want to do the results? 
 00:02:54,240 
 Not at all. I thought Kim would do that. 
 00:02:57,040 
 Just because she is good at stats doesn't mean she'll be good at writing it up. And besides, you are the one good at copy editing. 
 00:03:04,240 
 Well, all the same, I think it'll be easiest if she does the results section. I'll edit the whole report. 
 00:03:10,180 
 Come on. That's asking a lot of you. 
 00:03:13,220 
 Well, what part are you gonna do, Jen? 
 00:03:15,480 
 Isn't that obvious? Since I am the one who does all the reading. 
 00:03:19,200 
 I'm sure you'll give us the best literature review, Jen. We're all counting on you for that. 
 00:03:23,940 
 I guess that leaves the discussion section and the bibliography. 
 00:03:27,580 
 Yeah. Can you make suggestions on these? 
 00:03:29,880 
 Okay. But seriously, wouldn't it make more sense if you do the list of references? There are enough commas, capital letters, and parentheses to keep you happy in there. 
 00:03:39,680 
 Yeah, you got a point. It sure does make sense that I do the bibliography. 
 00:03:45,480 
 I guess Linda could handle the discussion section, even if she hasn't been around much. 
 00:03:50,280 
 Yeah, but isn't that, like, the most important section? 
 00:03:53,280 
 Well, what else is she going to do? 
 00:03:55,480 
 The whole paper. It'll serve her right. 
 00:03:57,910 
 Then we'd all fail. 
 00:03:59,740 
 Okay. But I think we all should start messaging her to make sure she gets busy. The discussion section can be long. 
 00:04:06,660 
 What about the abstract? 
 00:04:08,420 
 You really don't want me to do the abstract, do you? 
 00:04:11,320 
 That's not the point. I just think that the abstract should be for whoever finishes first. 
 00:04:16,800 
 Right.
