CONEVERSATION 1
-Tonight， we have a very special guest， a Sanchez is a three
time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge.
z， thankyou for joining us.
-Thankyou for having me.
-Let's start with your book. What does the title to the Edge mean?
What are you referring to?
-The book is about how science and technology has helped push
humans to the edge of their physical abilities. l argue that in the
past 20 years we have had the best athletes the world has ever
seen. But is this a fair comparison? How do you know how， say， a
football player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?
-Well， you are right.
-That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But the
point is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry，
nutrition and mechanics. I believe that while our bodies have not
changed in thousands of years， what has changed is the scientific
knowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of what
was previously thought possible.
-That's interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived
limits.
-The world has seen sports records being broken. That could only
be broken with the aid of technology， whether this be the speed
of a tennis serve or the fastest time in 100 meter dash or 200
meter swimming race.
-Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an
unfair advantage over others?
-That is an interesting question and one that has to be considered
very ， for example， went from being made of wood
to a metal alloy， which allows for better control and faster speed.
There is no stopping technological progress. But as I said， each sit-
uation should be considered carefully on a case by case basis.
Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just
heard.
do we learn about Anna Sanchez?
is the woman's book mainly about?
has changed in the past thousands of years?
is the man's concern about the use of technology in sports
competitions?
CONE VERSATION 2

before me .So l guess you could say it runs in the family.
-What products have you worked with?
-Allsorts， really. I've imported textiles， machinery， toys， solar
panels， all kinds of things. Over the years， trends in demand come
and go. So what needs to be very flexible to succeed in this indus-
try?

into China.l even use the same 's a very efficient way

spective country?

I've made great business contacts overtime.

around 25 next 's both and back again，
Demand for authentic Italian food in China is growing
similarly， sales of affordable， yet stylish wooden furniture are also
increasing in ure is marginally more profitable， mostly

international trade?

change?

profitable?

LECTURE 1
Qualities of a relationship such as openness， compassion and
mental stimulation are of concern to most of us regardless of sex，
but-judging from the questionnaire response-they are more im-
portant to women than to to consider the ingredients
of close friendship， women rated these qualities above all others.
Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity in in-
terests， selected by 77 percent of men， and responsiveness in a
crisis， chosen by 61 percent of male stimula-
tion， ranked third in popularity by men as well as women， was the
only area of men， only 28 percent named open
nessa san important quality； caring was picked by just 23per-
is evident by their selections that when women speak of
close friendships， they are referring to emotional factors， while
men emphasize the pleasure they find in a friend's
is， when a man speaks of“a friend”he is likely to be talking about
someone he does things with-a teammate， a fellow hobbyist， a
drinking activities are the fabric of the friendship； it
is a“doing”relationship in which similarity in interests is the key
factor was a consideration of less than 11 percent of
women.
Women opt for a warm， emotional atmosphere where communi-
cation flows freely； activity is mere ， men， as
we have seen， have serious questions about eachother's loyalty.
Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on respon-
siveness in a crisis

cate， are generally more secure with each other and consequently
are more likely to treat this issue follow-up interviews

issues as r， while competition and betrayal are the
main thorns to female friendship， men are plagued in almost
equal amounts by two additional issues， lack of frankness and a

The main reasons for thinking otherwise are the scattered bones
and the thickness of the deposit. In other deposits where the an i-
