精品教育Unit3Section One Tactics for ListeningPart2 Listening and Note-taking A Territory When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals. First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor. Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when theyre in someone elses house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door - the first signals of family territory - they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other peoples belongings - from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them. Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It wont be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we cant have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We dont look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A:1.

He . we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not let him go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy, right, right. In other words weve got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look . (Thats right, it doesnt matter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card?Because you know you cant rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you cant rent without, without using a credit card, you cant, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel .I think that whats underneath that is the society in which youre only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerised, (Yeah.) and can trace you, and everybodys insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and . that side of credit I find rather ups
