He’s your physics professor, right?M: Yes, and the class is so boring! We’re talking about air resistance and gravity right now and I’ve fallen asleep at least two times a week for the past month!W: Class may be boring, but I know Dr. Francois is interested in Grand Prix racing and the design of cars. You could suggest the idea of a class trip to the next Grand Prix race in April.M: Oh, OK,great idea!W: The final step is appealing to emotions. Professors want to engage with their students, want students to love the subjects they love—so ideas around that…M: Hmmm…I have a poster of a red race car in a Grand Prix race he might like. I’ll drop by his office next week to give it to Dr. Francois.New Words:Jenna 珍娜(人名)pizza n. 比萨饼Consuela 康斯薇拉(人名)Francois 弗郎索瓦(人名)Grand Prix racing国际汽车大奖赛1.What is the first rule for convincing others according to the conversation?A) You have to complete all the paperwork.B) You have to keep the ideas simple.C) You have to outline the ideas in detail.D) You have to provide others with inspiration.2.What is the excuse for the woman to persuade Professor Consuela to take the Spanish class out for Mexican food?A) To better understand a foreign culture.B) To make sense of being international.C) To help students learn Spanish better.D) To learn more about international food.3.What is the idea the man should suggest to Dr. Francois according to the woman?A) To improve the boring class by teaching the design of cars.B) To draw the students’ interest towards the Grand Prix race.C) To have an international pizza party.D) To have a class trip to the Grand Prix race4.Why does the man want to drop by Dr. Francois’ office next week?A) Because he wants to ask some questions about gravity.B) Because he wants to talk about the trip in detail.C) Because he wants to appeal to emotions for the trip.D) Because he wants to show a poster of a red race car.
