二：

[00:02.22]Directions: In this section,

[00:03.93]you will hear a passage three times.

[00:06.74]When the passage is read for the first time,

[00:09.81]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

[00:13.20]When the passage is read for the second time,

[00:16.52]you are required to fill in the blanks

[00:19.51]with the exact words you have just heard.

[00:21.74]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

[00:25.70]you should check what you have written.

[00:28.05]Now listen to the passage.

[00:30.87]When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti

[00:35.25]why they always ate apart and alone, they replied,

[00:39.49]¡°Because it is right.¡± If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,

[00:45.81]or why their men wear pants instead of skirts,

[00:48.93]or why they may be married to only one person at a time,

[00:53.03]we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers:

[00:58.58]¡°Because it¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Because that¡¯s the way it¡¯s done.¡±

[01:03.00]¡°Because it¡¯s the custom.¡± Or even ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

[01:06.42]The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that

[01:11.73]they are controlled by social norms-shared rules or guidelines

[01:16.57]which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.

[01:20.72]Norms define how people ¡°ought¡± to behave under particular circumstances

[01:27.60]in a particular society. We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.

[01:35.04]In fact£¬we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.

[01:43.22]You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,

[01:48.50]but you might be a little startled if they bowed,

[01:51.62]started to stroke you, or kissed you on both cheeks.

[01:55.75]Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.

[02:01.71]When we visit another society whose norms are different,

[02:05.70]we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

[02:10.65]Now the passage will be read again.

[02:14.45]When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti

[02:19.14]why they always ate apart and alone, they replied,

[02:22.96]¡°Because it is right.¡± If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,

[02:28.53]or why their men wear pants instead of skirts,

[02:32.16]or why they may be married to only one person at a time,

[02:36.28]we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers:

[02:40.59]¡°Because it¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Because that¡¯s the way it¡¯s done.¡±

[02:45.28]¡°Because it¡¯s the custom.¡± Or even ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

[02:49.50]The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that

[02:55.56]they are controlled by social norms-shared rules or guidelines

[02:59.55]which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.

[03:03.99]Norms define how people ¡°ought¡± to behave under particular circumstances

[03:10.42]in a particular society. We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.

[03:17.20]In fact£¬we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.

[03:23.02]You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,

[03:30.13]but you might be a little startled if they bowed,

[03:33.79]started to stroke you, or kissed you on both cheeks.

[03:36.95]Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.

[03:43.07]When we visit another society whose norms are different,

[03:47.63]we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

[03:53.23]Now the passage will be read for the third time.

[03:56.73]When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti

[04:00.93]why they always ate apart and alone, they replied,

[04:04.97]¡°Because it is right.¡± If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks,

[04:11.41]or why their men wear pants instead of skirts,

[04:13.67]or why they may be married to only one person at a time,

[04:18.54]we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers:

[04:24.03]¡°Because it¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Because that¡¯s the way it¡¯s done.¡±

[04:28.51]¡°Because it¡¯s the custom.¡± Or even ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

[04:31.67]The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that

[04:37.09]they are controlled by social norms-shared rules or guidelines

[04:43.51]which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.

[04:46.64]Norms define how people ¡°ought¡± to behave under particular circumstances

[04:53.02]in a particular society. We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.

[05:01.81]In fact£¬we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.

[05:08.53]You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced,

[05:14.29]but you might be a little startled if they bowed,

[05:16.99]started to stroke you, or kissed you on both cheeks.

[05:21.33]Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.

[05:26.92]When we visit another society whose norms are different,

[05:31.41]we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.
