托福TPO/Official 13 Con 1听力原文According to the professor, what should the student do after completing the first observation?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：听一个学生和他的心理学教授之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and his psychology professor.

学生：嗯，我想和你谈谈你今天布置的研究项目。

Man: Well, I wanted to talk with you about the research project you assigned today.

我，嗯……我希望你能为我澄清一些事情。

I, um, hope you could clarify a few things for me.

学生：好了，我们所要做的就是做两次观测，并对它们做笔记，对不对？

Man: OK, all we have to do is do two observations and take notes on them, right?

教授：这是一个开始，但你也需要做一些研究。

Professor: Oh, that's a start, but you'll need to do some research, too.

然后你要写一篇论文，不是关于你的观察，而是综合你所观察到和读到的内容。

Then you'll write a paper that's not so much about the observations but a synthesis of what you've observed and read.

学生：好吧，我要观察的孩子们该怎么办？

Man: OK, and what about the children I am supposed to observe?

教授：不是孩子们，而是观察同一个孩子两次。

Professor: Not children, a single child observed twice.

学生：好的，所以我要在获得孩子父母同意的情况下选择一个孩子，然后观察那个孩子几次，并且做好笔记，然后?

Man: Oh, OK! So I should choose a child, with the permission of the child's parents, of course, and then observe that child a couple of times and take good notes, then?

教授：其实，在你第一次观察后，你回去浏览你的教材或者去图书馆，找到有关这个特定的孩子所处的发展阶段的资料。

Professor: Actually, after your first observation, you'll go back and look through your textbook or go to the library and find a few sources concerning the stage of development this particular child is in.

然后，有了这些知识，你对同一个孩子做第二次观察，看是否预期发展行为出现。

And then, with that knowledge, you'll make a second observation of the same child to see if the expected developmental behaviors are exhibited.

教授：好的，如果你观察一个4岁的孩子，我女儿4岁，你可能在皮亚杰的的认知发展阶段上熟读过。

Professor: Well, uh, if you observed a four-year-old child, uh, for example, my daughter is four years old, you might read up on Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development.

教授：那么这个年龄的小孩子最有可能处在什么阶段？

Professor: Most likely, what stage would a child of that age be in?

教授：正是，如果是那种情况，她语言的运用应该成熟了，而她的记忆力和形象力也发展了。

Professor: Exactly! If that's the case, her language use would be maturing and her memory and imagination would be developed.

学生：那么她可能会玩模仿，比如她可能假装她开着她的玩具车穿过一个睡椅，而那个睡椅可能是一个桥或者什么的。

Man: So she might play pretend, like she can pretend when driving her toy car across the couch that the couch is actually a bridge or something.

另外，她的思考主要是自我为中心的。

In addition, her thinking would be primarily egocentric.

学生：那么她主要会思考她自己和她自己的需求，可能不能够从别人的角度看待事情？

Man: So she'd be thinking mostly about herself and her own needs and might not be able to see things from anyone else's perspective?

我的意思是，如果她不能展现出这些行为呢？

I mean, what if she doesn't demonstrate those behaviors?

你可以在你的论文中指出这一点。

你的论文应该将孩子预期所在的发展阶段和你事实上观察到的作比较。

See, your paper should compare what is expected of children at certain stage of development with what you actually observe.

学生：好的，我还有一个问题。

学生：我到哪里可以找个孩子来观察？

Man: Where can I find a child to observe?

教授：我建议你联系教育系的秘书。

Professor: Um, I'd suggest you contact the Education Department secretary.

她有一张清单，清单上有不同学校和与这些学校有所关联的家庭的联系方式。

She has a list of contacts of various schools and with certain families who are somehow connected to the University.

有些时候，他们愿意帮助有你这种项目的学生。

Sometimes they are willing to help out students with projects like yours.

学生：我今天下午去一下教育系办公室。

Man: OK, I'll stop by the Education Department Office this afternoon.

教授：如果你还有什么问题，在我办公时间，你可以随意来。

Professor: And if you have any trouble or any more questions, feel free to come by during my office hours.

Why does the student go to see the professor?

According to the professor, what should the student do after completing the first observation?

Why does the student mention a child playing with a toy car?

Why should the student contact the education department secretary?

Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question. What does the professor mean when she says this:
