【学校通知】：
The university proposes a car
rental program on campus,
which can offer students a
discounted price.
【学生态度】：
The woman likes the policy very much.
First, the campus is far from the downtown
area. Although there is bus route, it usually
takes more than 2 hours. And if the
students want to go to many stores, it's
very inconvenient. So discounted renting
price will be very useful.
Second, she had done math before, it is not
reasonable for students like her to own a
car. Because besides the car's price, she
will need to pay for fuels and campus
permits.
Question: Explain the woman’s opinion and why she holds that opinion.

【名词解释】：
Buffering refers to the strategy
some weaker animals would
use to approach food resource
in front of the stronger
members of the group. They
would use infants to buffer.
【教授举例】：
The lecturer shares an example of
monkeys in Japan. The stronger males
usually have the best food and will be
angry if the weaker males get close. So the
weaker males borrow the baby monkeys

stronger males are not angry when the
babies and the weaker monkeys get close
and even share food with them.

can cancel the babysitting schedule, and they can go to the concert another
day. However, the tickets cannot be switched or refunded.
Second, she can bring books and computer to her sister's house and do the
paper there, but the environment will definitely be distracting.
Question 6 【讲课要点】：The design of tall buildings has changed over time according to
the different materials that people can approach in different periods.
In the past, to design tall buildings, people need to build thick walls to support
the enormous weight upside. The speaker talks about the stone tower for
example. Because of the thick stone wall at the base, the tower doesn't have
enough space inside.
Nowadays, people can use steel to build thin walls, which can also support
heavy weight. The example mentioned is the office building with thin steel
walls.
