The ancient Greeks developed basic memory systems called mnemonics. The name is derived from their Goddess of memory ―Mnemosyne‖. In the ancient world, a trained memory was an immense asset, particularly in public life. There were no convenient devices for taking notes, and early Greek orators(演说家) delivered long speeches with great accuracy because they learned the speeches using mnemonic systems.

The Greeks discovered that human memory is largely an associative process—that it works by linking things together. For example, think of an apple. The instant your brain registers the word ―apple‖, it recalls the shape, color, taste, smell and texture of that fruit. All these things are associated in your memory with the word ―apple‖.

This means that any thought about a certain subject will often bring up more memories that are related to it.. An example could be when you think about a lecture you have had. This could trigger a memory about what you‘re talking about through that lecture, which can then trigger another memory.

Associations do not have to be logical. They just have to make a good link.

. An example given on a website I was looking at follows: Do you remember the shape of Austria, Canada, Belgium, or Germany? Probably not. What about Italy, though? If you remember the shape of Italy, it is because you have been told at some time that Italy is shaped like a boot.. You made an association with something already known, the shape of a boot, and Italy‘s shape could not be forgotten once you had made the association.

English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe, English is acquired as the mother tongue , in others it‘s used as a second language. Some nations use English as their official language, performing the function of administration; in others it‘s used as an international language for business, commerce and industry.

What factors and forces have led to the spread of English? Why is English now considered to be so prestigious that, across the globe, individuals and societies feel disadvantaged if they do not have confidence in this language? How has English changed through 1,500 Years? These are some of the questions that you investigate when you study English.

You also examine the immense variability of English and come to understand how it is used as a symbol of both individual identity and social connection. You develop in-depth knowledge of the intricate structure of the language. Why do some non-native speakers of English claim that it‘s a difficult language to learn, while infants born into English-speaking communities acquire their language before they learn to use folks and knives? At the University of Sussex, you are introduced to the nature and grammar of English in all aspects. This involves the study of sound structures, the formation of words, the sequencing words and the construction of meaning, as well as examination of the theories explaining the aspects of English usage. Y ou are encouraged to develop your own individual responses to various practical and theoretical issues, which are raised by studying how speakers and writers employ English for a wide variety of purposes.

One of the most common images of an advanced, Western-style culture is that of a busy, traffic-filled city. Since their first appearance on American roadways, automobiles have become a symbol of progress, a source of thousands of jobs and an almost inalienable right for citizens’ personal freedom of movement. In recent decades, our “love affair”with the car is being exported directly to the developing world, and it is increasingly apparent that this transfer is leading to disaster.

American’s almost complete dependence on automobiles has been a terrible mistake. As late as the 1950s, a large percentage of the American public used mass transit.

A combination of public policy decisions and corporate scheming saw to it that countless convenient and efficient urban streetcar and intra-city rail systems were dismantled. Our air quality now suffers from the effects of pollutants emitted directly from our cars.

Our lives have been planned along a road grid—homes far from work, shopping far from everything, with ugly stretches of concrete and blacktop in between.

Developing countries are copying Western-style transportation systems down to the last detail. The problems caused by motorized vehicles in the West are often magnified in developing nations.. Pollution control measures are either not strict or nonexistent, leading to choking clouds of smog. Gasoline still contains lead, which is extremely poisonous to humans..Movement in some cities comes to a virtual standstill as motorized traffic competes with bicycles and pedestrians.

In addition to pollution and traffic jams, auto safety is a critical issue in developing nations.

I'm interested in the criminal justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done if we‘re to survive as a country. I certainly don't know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicated in a hurry when you get into them. But I wonder if something couldn't be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I'm concerned about is our practice of putting offenders in jail who haven't harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of incurring another debt by going to prison, and of course, coming under the influence of hardened criminals? I'm also concerned about the short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. Of course, one alternative to this is to restore capital punishment, but I'm not sure I would be for that. I'm not sure it's right to take an eye for eye. The alternative to capital

punishment is longer sentences. But they would certainly cost the tax payers much money.. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person‘s life intentionally is insane; however, that does not mean that person isn't guilty

of the crime, or that he shouldn't pay society the debt he owes.. It‘s sad, of course, that a person may have to spend the rest of his life, or a large part of it in prison for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind.

If you‘re like most people, you‘ve indulged in fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away, floating in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth: The instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in you notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, pretending that you‘ve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a vague sense of guilt that you aren‘t paying close attention. But you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friend‘s notes. Besides, the instructor's talking about road construction in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring So back you go into your private little world, only later do you realize you‘ve missed important information for a test.

Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers are sensitive to facial cues and can tell if you‘re merely pretending to listen. Your blank expression, and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that betray you inattentiveness.

Even if you are not exposed there‘s another reason to avoid fakery. It‘s easy for this behavior to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start daydreaming when a speaker begins talking on something complex or interesting. As a result, they miss lots of valuable information.

Nursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the physician. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, assess physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services, and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that a physician‘s order is inappropriate or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to question that order or refuse to carry it out.

Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. The emotional and physical stress. However, that occurs due to odd working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. It is sometimes required that we work overtime, and that we change shifts four or five times a month.. That disturbs

our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except job-related friends and activities.

The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system.. Consumers of medically related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand changes in our medical system. But if trends continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital cares will be provided by new, inexperienced, and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.

W: Welcome to Work Place. And in today’s program, we’re looking at the results of two recently published surveys, which both deal with the same topic - happiness at work. John, tell us about the first survey. M: Well, this was done by a human resources consultancy, who interviewed more than 1,000 workers, and established a top ten of the factors, which make people happy at work.
