[00:52.70]Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it , and says [00:58.46]"OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ [01:06.17]The mermaid says:" Done. [01:10.45]Suddenly, the guy starts to recite flawless Shakespeare followed by a short pause [01:18.19]and an extremely insightful analysis of it [01:23.34]The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid:" Hey, triple my IQ [01:32.56]The mermaid says:"Done [01:36.80]They guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems [01:44.08]that have puzzled scientists of varying fields [01:49.76]physics, chemistry and astronomy. [01:54.95]The last guy is so interested in the changes in his friends [02:00.71]that he says to the mermaid:"Quintuple my IQ [02:07.48]The mermaid looks at him and says:" You know, [02:12.98]I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, [02:19.25]but I really wish you'd reconsider." [02:23.78]The guy says:" No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, [02:33.11]I won't set you free [02:37.03]"Please, " says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking . [02:43.84]It'll change your entire view of the univers [02:49.74]Won't you ask for something else...A million dollars, anything?" [02:55.64]But no matter what the mermaid says, [03:00.32]the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power [03:08.96]So the mermaid sighs and says:"Done." And he becomes a woman. [03:18.14]Exercise 3 [03:21.92]Directions: [03:25.13]Listen to the story again and work in groups to answer the questions [03:31.32]or complete the sentences given. [03:35.53]1) What changes do they undergo? [03:41.11]2) What is the implication of the ending of the story? [03:47.84]3) What do you think of the implication? Explain your answer. [03:55.44]Listening II [03:58.86]Exercise 1 [04:02.50]Directions: [04:05.92]Listen to the interview and fill in the following table [04:11.50]with the information you get from the tape. [04:16.36]M: Do you think that women are naturally better at certain things than men? [04:22.62]W: Well, [04:25.36]it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time [04:32.77]I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain [04:38.60]or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing [04:45.05]For example, it is usually women who work, have babies [04:51.92]look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home [04:58.51]And maybe it's practicing all that [05:03.37]that makes women better able to do more than one thing at a time [05:08.95]Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time [05:16.91]including boring domestic things like washing the dishe [05:22.60]If a friend of mine who's man washes the dishes [05:28.03]he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time [05:35.05]whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone [05:40.81]probably cooking something as well, and finding that not too stressful. [05:47.36]M: Do your think women are more interested in personal relationships than men? [05:54.56]W: Generally, yes, [05:57.98]though again I don't know if this is because from an early age [06:04.36]they're taught to please other people whereas men are taught to please themselve [06:11.20]I think relationships are more central to most women's live [06:16.88]For examlpe, [06:20.84]I think men don't have very good conversations with each other,whereas women do [06:27.58]If you listen to women talking, [06:32.08]often they'll be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each other [06:38.74]fairly personal and truthful conversations, [06:43.60]whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things [06:50.33]They'll talk about their work in a very superficial way [06:55.94]or their interests in a very superficial way, for example and football is the--um-- [07:04.69]just a sort of way for men to relate to each other [07:10.31]without actually saying anything important, it seems to me. [07:15.71]Exercise 2 [07:19.06]Directions: [07:22.44]Listen to the interview again and discuss the questions in pairs. [07:29.03]According to the woman,
