Okay, okay, let’s begin. Hello, everyone. My name’s Susan Hudson and I’ll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.
Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus(教学大纲） in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in Room 405 during the last two months of the class.
Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase（购买） them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic（周期的、定期的） quizzes（问答比赛）, uh, a research project, and classroom participation（参加、参与）.
My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well.
Task 2
【答案】 A.
1) According to the syllabus, the book he is looking for is in the library, but he couldn’t find it. 2) That means the student cannot find the book on the shelves in its usual place. She/He needs to go to a special room called the reserve room.
3) The professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve. B.
1) F, 2) T, 3) F 【原文】
Librarian: Can I help you?
Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter（章、回） in
a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven’t been able to find it.
Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?
Student: Yes, uh...I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is.
Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you
cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It’s down the hall and to the right.
Student: I’m sorry — I still don’t understand what you mean by on reserve.
Librarian: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student
removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.
Student: So, will I be able to find this book?
Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve
librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.
Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now. Librarian: Will there be anything else?
Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!

meeting to make sure everything is ready. Faith: Okay. Here’s a copy of the tentative（试验性的、不确定的） schedule. [Okay.] Now, the
registration starts at 8:30 and goes until 9:15. [All right.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at 9:30.
Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until 10:30, but now we
have someone from the international center coming to speak to the students on extracurricular（学校课程以外的） activities, so how about ending the meeting around 11?
Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from 11:15 until noon [OK.],
followed by 20-minute break before lunch. [OK.] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a 45-minute tour starting at 1:30. [Oh. OK.] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.

pressed to start then.
Faith: Ok, let’s get things rolling around 2:45.
Randall: Ok, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk?
Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a haystack. [Oh, it’s not
that bad.] Here, use mine.
Randall: OK. And we’ll need 150 copies of this program guide by then.
Faith: Hey. That’s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things
together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don’t have to worry about them?
