听力原文:M: Did you hear on the news today about that...uh...murderer who was executed?
W: I can't believe it.
M: Yeah. That's the first time in ten years that they've used capital punishment.
W: I just can't believe in our society today that they would actually kill another human being. Nobody has the right, to take another person's life.
M: Oh, I don't agree. Listen, I think capital punishment is it's a bout time it came back. I think that's exactly what killers de serve.
W: No, they don't deserve that. Because once you're killing a killer, you're the killer, too. You become a killer as well.
M: No, listen. You take a life, you have to be willing to give up your own. And also, I think that if you have a death penalty it will pre vent other people from killing, I think it's a good deterrent.
W: I don't think it's a good deterrent at all. My goodness gracious. I mean, first of all, are you sure the person you've convicted to death is really guilty?
M: Well, I think that's a very rare...very rare incidence.
W: I don't think it's rare, with all the cracker jack lawyers we have today, and the judicial system the way it is.
M: I think it's a rare incidence, and I think it's more important to get rid of the...the bad seed, you know?
W: But you don't get rid of it. You rehabilitate somebody like that. You don't eliminate, you rehabilitate.

W: No, they don't deserve that. Because once you're killing a killer, you're the killer, too. You become a killer as well.
M: No, listen. You take a life, you have to be willing to give up your own. And also, I think that if you have a death penalty it will prevent other people from killing. I think it's a good deterrent.

听力原文:M: How did you like our American History class yesterday?
W: Well I did enjoy it, but I didn't exactly buy everything Barnum said either.
M: You mean his view that the early framers of the constitution really didn't want democracy as we know it today?
W: Well "as we know it today" I can accept. But when he states that there was no affinity towards democracy as it was understood then well...to me this just sounds like historical revisionism.
M: Well, surely you have to admit that their concept of democracy was not "democratic".
After all, many groups including those without land, women, blacks and many others were shut out of participating in the new system.
W: Yes, but when we look at what we call democracy today there are still groups shut out of being able to vote in America, such as children and convicted people. Also, I think it is fair to say that many groups find it still very difficult to participate. So we don't have complete democracy even today.
M: Yes, but I think he is basing his arguments on the factual transcripts of the early Founding Fathers realizing that they didn't like to use the term "democracy" and some even heaped scorn on it.
W: Perhaps it was just that the term had a different meaning from the way it is used today.
M: But I think it is fair to say that democracy wasn't exactly in fashion. And perhaps it is worthwhile to draw a distinction between liberty and democracy, since the relationship between the two is somewhat blurry.
W: But if you are to say that America was not a democracy in the beginning then you might as well say, it is not One today either because the structures of federalism, 3 branch government and checks and balances are basically the same as it was over 200 years ago.
M: You have a point there, most of the constitution remains intact, and despite the fact that America is much closer to a true democracy than it was even 50 years ago, it's still a fair way from being ideal.
W: Right and if you apply the democracy to an ideal you will get nowhere. I wish Barnum was listening to us right now.
M: Well, here's your chance to challenge him right now. I see him coming our way.
W: Are you joking? I still need to get a decent mark in this course and I'm not doing it by making him angry.

About Gender: Differences
It is said that the first thing we ask about a newborn baby is "Is it a boy or a girl?" But it might be considered that this is the first thing we ask ourselves whenever we meet anyone new. Perhaps this is why we find it so threatening if the cues are uncertain, and even more so if we find our first assumptions turns out to be incorrect.
Men are different from women. That would seem to be self-evident. They are different in ability, skill and behavior, but then, so is every individual person. So why do we make such a fuss about it? It seems not unreasonable to suggest that the sexes are different because their brains are different, but then no two human brains are the same It is suggested that our culture is in trouble because many women have been brought up to believe they should be as good as men. Well, why not?
We will only touch on these topics briefly. There is enough material for a dozen books. Suffice it to say that all the studies report on the way boys and girls are, not how they got to be that way, or rather how they were at the time of the study. Commonality across cultures and species implies' some biological basis. The fact that the situation is changing reflects the power of socialization.
At School
There are studies about relative abilities of perception, vision, sound and touch. Certainly, if you watched a carpenter run his fingers al0hg a planed surface and being able to tell how smooth it was, you would find it difficult to believe that boys lack tactile (触觉的) sensitivity.
Another is that girls tend to pick up auditory information while boys do better visually. Several studies suggested that, from school age on, boys outperformed girls in areas of mathematics involving abstract concepts of space, relationships and theory. The big issue is the difference in the spatial abilities between boys and girls. It seems that boys find it much easier to visualize and deal with spaces, the position of objects, relative heights and dimensions. In a test involving a three dimensional mechanical device, only a quarter of the girls could perform. the task as well as the boys and it isn't recorded if any boys were actually worse.
Why are girls more successful at school? Perhaps emphasis on communication in projects and exams could explain the situation. Success at school nowadays depends on being able to write essays and examination papers. If girls are better at verbal communication than boys, then they are likely to succeed. But, if there are more boys than girls who find difficulty learning at school, does it not imply a serious defect in our educational system?
In Sports
In general, men are taller and heavier than women. In sports, men tend to outperform. women in strength and speed. Women seem to have greater endurance. In spite of many attempts, sports have never become completely intended for both men and women.
Yet, for example, running speeds for male and female athletes have improved steadily through the 20th century, but women have improved much more than men. The same is found for, athletics, swimming and cycling. Hence it is predicted that sex differences might disappear by the middle of the next century. However S. Seller and S. Sailer, in "The Gender Gap.. Elite Women are Running Further Behind", point out that, since the date of their studies, the rate of improvement has much reduced. They suggest a correlation with the use of drugs enhancing performance, and their more recent prohibition. These have a greater effect on women than they do with men.
Biological Differences
Men, it is said, are generally more aggressive, physically and verbally, and enjoy taking risks. They play fighting games and enjoy "dares". More men than women are convicted for crimes, especially crimes of violence.
Some say that this is simply a matter of biology, others
