The chancellor has noted that teaching assistants are an integral part of our campus, and that the quality of undergraduate education has been improved by the quality of our teaching assistants.

听力原文: I was recently working with some sixth form. comprehensive school students, when a television company asked for permission to come in and make a short film of our activities. The arrival of the cameras and crew was a major event. The setting up of the equipment, the conversion of the classroom into a mini-studio, and the sheer presence of so many television personnel (10 in all) all made this into a special occasion. On the day of filming I was better prepared than usual, and chose to wear clothes which I fancied might have some visual appeal. So did the students.
The session itself was disappointing. The camera and lights were frightening to us all and even normally active students were reluctant to attempt an opinion. Every time one of them spoke, every pieced available equipment was turned towards her.
Fortunately, this was part of a program about interesting developments in education, so the director intervened in order to encourage the kind of lively responses she was looking for. "If you don't speak up and get involved." she told the students, "then you won't be on television." The effect was immediate. The students began to go over-the-top in their attempts to attract attention. When someone said something of interest the director stopped the discussion, focused the camera and lights on her and asked her to repeat it. All of my contributions to the discussion were reshot at the end, after the students had left, and cut into the final film. Nothing could have been further removed from our normal way of working.

B.Because the classroom had never been a studio.
C.Because the speaker was going to be well known.

听力原文: Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist's terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.
We concluded that persons with fixed incomes, for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example , an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please remember that while their dollar incomes, stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases, that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money.
We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.
And now, before we begin today's lecture, are there any questions about the term, inflation or any of the examples given in our discussion so far?
What's the main purpose of the talk?
A.To introduce the concept of inflation.
B.To discuss the causes of inflation.
C.To review yesterday's lecture on inflation.
D.To argue in favor of inflation.
