A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining(确定) certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant knows what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy, information about most major corporations available in reference books and periodicals(期刊).

Television—that most pervasive and persuasive of modem technologies, marked by rapid change and growth—is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possibly by the marriage of television and computer technologies.

The world "television", derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (vision: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capacity of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulse, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.

Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.

The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, through which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.

Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are-most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about forty-seven years in a form. similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing out role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?

A．Recent changes in modem technology.

B．The marriages of broadcasting giants.

C．The role of television in today's society.

D．The content of broadcast television programs.

C.present their evidence fairly and accurately.

Evidence is more likely to be persuasive if it is new to the audience. You will gain little by citing facts and figures that are already well known to your audience. Because this sort of evidence would appear cliché to your audience.()

第三关大BOSS： 关于政策问题的说服性演讲（persuasive speech on question of policy）。to persuade audience that someone should/should not do something. 这里的“政策”不局限于国家政策（计划生育之类），才叫政策。只要演讲目的是 劝说听众该做或不做什么，即为关于政策问题的说服性演讲 。 参见教材例子p200-204. 此次必须使用PPT 。 4-7分钟 话题应与听众息息相关，能够获得听众高度关注。制定出具体目标后，选择能够实现目标的最佳组织方式，写下演讲提纲，提炼出你的想法，运用演讲提纲向全班发表演讲。 那么，你， 想说服在座的听众，（政府/城院/我们......）该做或不做什么？ 想不出？ 看下教材上的例子？p200-204. 能写的题目太多了。比如： to persuade my audience that... 1）You should come to this activity /event 2）you should vote for ...... 3）You should buy ...... 4）You should/should join this club/ association. . 5）You should get up before 6 in the morning. 6）You should take regular exercises. 7）You should close your WECHAT moments. 8）CET4 and 6 Should/should not be banned for Chinese college students. 9）Students of first year should/should not be required to attend self-study at night. 10） Zucc should /should not allow pets in dorms. 11）Zucc should/should not allow student drive cars on campus 或看课件“如何选话题” 话题下次还能改。 ----------------------------------- 作业题1 可用中文回答： 你演讲的主题是什么？为什么适合你来讲? 这是关于政策问题的说服性演讲吗（劝说听众该做或不做什么) ? 你的演讲是只想获得听众的认可（passive agreement） 还是促使听众立即行动（immediate action）？ 区别参见教材p200 你的目标听众是谁？（target audience） 你的听众对此话题的原有态度如何分布的？反对的意见主要有哪些理由？ 你打算采用哪种结构顺序来组织要点？（organization order）？ 例子见教材P199-204 得分标准：均回答，且属于政策问题的说服性演讲，才得分。（即说服听众去/不去【做】某事）
