Professor: Good morning! This is Busines 101, and today were
talking about something called "Fshionomlcs” Who can tll me what
the word Fishionorice means?
‘Max: Well, guess the word isa combination of fashion and
Professor: Very good. Fashionomics isthe study of fashion and
‘economics. Or, another way tay itis fashion and money. Now,
lets consider the fashion sde of tht, What does the expression “in
fashion? mean?
Jen: It usually means tht something is popula, that lo of people
lke it. Buta fashion is only popular for a certain time, ike bell-bottom
jeans or shoes with pointed toes, for example
Professor: Excellent! And time isthe key word there. Fashions dont
last fora long time. They're constantly changing. Now; how is fashion
related to money?
Rafi: Oh, that easy: When people fllow fashion trends, they spend
‘more money For erample,look at my new jacket. Ina year orto this
jacket i going tobe “out of fashion” What happens then? Wal, I ay,
This jacket is out of fashion. Inceda new one. So, I buy anew jacket”
“This happens even ifthe Jackets in perfectly good condition.
rofestor: Right. And how i this good forthe economy?
Kim; When people spend money on dthes and other stuff ike
purses and jewelry, it creates jobs—you know, jobs fr the people who
‘make the clothes and forthe people who sell them.
Profesor: Yes, that’ an important point. ts what economist are
talking about when they refer wo Fashionomics. Changing fashions
‘can be good forthe economy. Are there anyother benefits to fashion
tuende?

is tru for people who design the clothes and forthe individual who
‘wears them,
Profesor: Interesting. | think we can all se that being a designer is
«creative job, but can anyone explain what Max means when he says
‘that wearing clothes is creative?

may be old ans and 2 Tshirt or an expensive suit but your dothes
say, “This s who Tam at this time”
Professor: OK, so putting al ths together, we can say that

‘wear school uniforms. We know that students, teachers, and parents
have diferent opinions about this. Some people are fn favor ofthe
‘dea. They feel that many students are wearing the wrong kinds of
clothes to school. There'also alot of competition among students
to follow the latest fashion trends. Then they ask their parents to buy
expensive designer clothes. Many parents say they cari afford to buy
new clothes everytime fashion trends change.
(Other people think that making students wear uniforms is wrong.
‘They say that students shouldbe fre to wear what they want to

LISTENING 1: The Colors of Nature
Listen for Main Ideas Page 26
Speaker: ‘The colors of nature, Arerit they wonderful? Birds, flowers,
insects so many different colors, And its not only that they're
Deut Colors in nature have many differen uses. Many animals use
colo to help them survive. Today we're going to look at two ways that
animals do this,
“The first way animals use colorist protect them from dang
Color helps animals hide from predators. Scientists refer to this a8
‘camouflage For instance, lok at this fist photo. What do you sec?
‘Some geen leaves, right” But wai! One of thor leaves is actually
an insect. Theres false-leaf kay siting ona leaf Look carefully
and you can sees legs and its hea. Is wings look jus ke leaves.
Katy ae common insects all over the world Here ite
extra informaton about katydids They got their English name—
“katydid”—from the sound they make. People thought it sounded ke
the two words "Katy”(a gies name) and “id” Listen. It sounds like
they saying “katydidkatdidkatydid” You know, I wonder who Katy
‘sand what she did!
Anyway, backto colors. Nw look atthe next photo ofa cryptic fog
‘Can you find the frog? Look closely and you can se ton thelet. Is
siting on the lat. takes ts colors from the brown leaves and rocks
‘on the forest foot. This is another example of camouflage. Its almost
{impossible wo se this litle guy unless he moves. Even then it looks like
the wind is Blowing a brown lea across the forest floor
A second use for color it givea warning, Thisis the opposite of
‘camouflage. These animals want you tose them. Their bright colors
‘3 Watch out! fm dangerous. Ifyou touch me, Tl hut you” Many
predators also know from experience that a bright colar means danger
etme give you an example, This ta photo af be poison dart frog,
“These frogs live in the rain forests of Suriname n South America
“Their skin contains avery strong poison. The poison in just one frog is
‘enough to kil ter men. Its bright blue color says to predators, “Ifyou
‘eatme, you will die” Believe me, fT se one ofthese in the forest
will ive ie plenty of space!

‘Speaker: Hello again, nature lovers! Today we're going to talk about
the Australian boverbird—a very unusual bird! Male Boworbirds build
‘something called a bower. As you can seein the picture a bower looks
almost like ite house
Now here’ the part that isso surprising, The male bird builds the
bower, and then he decorates the area around it. He gets lowers, itl
‘stones, pieces of gas or plastic, and many other ite things and puts
them around the bower. Hes trying to make the bower lok nce.
One kind of bsserbird, called the sain bowerbir, loves the color
blue. You can seein this picture how this satin bowerbird decorated
his bower with lot of be things. This bird doesn ike red If you put
something red in his bower, he takes itaway. Bowerbird often steal
‘things for their bowers from other binds or even from people,
‘The male bird builds the bower to attract a female bird. The female
rd comes and looks a the bower, If she lke i, he becomes the male
bird’ partner, or mate. The most beautiful bowers attract more female
birds. The bower s nota nest. This means that tis not the place where
‘the female bird lays her eggs. After mating, the female bowerbird
builds a nest ina tee where predators cart find it easily
LISTENING 2: Building with Color

the workof different architets and how they we colori their work,
‘Our ist speaker is Michio Osawa and he’s gong to talk about the
work ofthe Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
‘Osawa: When Kunna first tarted working as an architect, he
thought that concrete was the ony building matril. At tha time, he
‘worked motl in Tokyo. His buildings were the usual gray of ot of
‘urban architecture tay.
"Now he often works in the country. He wants his buildings to blend
In with the environment. He prefers natural material, for example
‘wood, bamboo, earth, and even paper. The coors ofthese materials
‘atch the colors of the surroundings. You can se this inthis photo of|
Kuma Great Bamboo Wall House neat Beijing in China The colors
ofthe house are brown, gren, and gry. With these colors, the howse
Tooks like its part ofthe mountain, Kuma advises architects to goto the sit ofthe building when they are making the plans. Fr hm ts
all about fitting the building nto the place,
Moderator: Now Olga Perez is going to tell us about the work ofthe
“Austrian architect Friedensreich Hunderwaser
(Olga Perez: Thanks, Well, Kuma and Hundertwasser are very
sliferent Kuma buildings blend in with whats around them, but
Hiundertwassers stand out—they almost shout, “Look at me” His
‘buildings are fll of bright colors. But Hundertwasser ato belived
that architecture should relate to nature. He said, “Everything under
‘the sky belongs to nature” Hundertwesser used natural shapes in his
‘buildings. In fact, he used ver few straight lines. He said, "There
reno stright ines in nature” For example, ook atthe picture af
Hundertwassrhaus in Vienna, Austria. You can se the many bight
colors. Notice alo that lines are not straight. The bullding also has
[grace and tres growing on the roof. For Hundertwaser, the usual
‘ity apartment buildings, ll made with straight lines andl the same
Color looked lke prisons He described the people who lived inthe
buildings as “ray people’—all the same boring color. Hunderteaser
believed that everyone who lived na building shouldbe able to say,
“Live here, and Tam different from everyone else”
Moderator: Can you give usan example?

LISTENING 2: Classroom Etiquette
Listen for Main Ideas Page s
Kate ollins: And finally tonight we have this report from Larry
Stark We frequently hear that children dost have good manners. In
todays society, parents are too busy to teach thei children manners
For example, families dont sit down atthe able to eat together. As a
result, children dont learn good table manners. They also doit know
hove to behave politely around adults—when, for example, they should
tee tiles like Mr. and Mrs. or Mi. So some schools are giving the
students clasts in etiquette, Heres Larry to tell us more about it
Larry Stark: Tha righ, Kate. But the teachers aren teaching,
these class, The principal asked company called Polite Chilren to
teach the clases. Marjorie Lucas i the awner of the company. Polite
CCildren offers courses in manners to the schools. Theis how Ms.
Laas explains
‘Marjorie Lucas: Teachers spend alot of valuable clas time dealing
‘ith bad behavior. Alot of tis is ust bad manners. We teach manners
for many different situations. Children learn both table manners and
classroom manners. Tey lso learn how to relate to alts. In the
‘end, mannersare all about having respect for others. Tht why its
important to wse words like pleas, thank you, and excuse me. Thats
‘why kids in the classroom should raise their hands and not shout out
answers. When children learn tobe courteous in these small way
they learn to respect other people
Larry: Weasked Tom Saunders a school principal, about the effect
ofthese classes in his school ‘Tom Saunders: You know; Larry, hey" having a good influence
con our students. After we started the lasses, students grades went
‘upby 10 to 13 percent in one yea. Teachers say that students are
‘more attentive in the classroom. Tis saves them 2 lot of time—time
they can spend teaching instead of correcting bad behavior. Theres
less violence in the school. For example, we have fewer fights inthe
hallways This improves the quality ofthe school
Kate C: Parentsalso like the etiquette clases, Here’ Jenny Miranda,
‘whose son Marcos isthe third grad,
Jenny Miranda: Marcos came home and sad he wanted to “practice
being polite” Iwas amazed. Now were practicing things ik calling
adults Mr and Mrs. of Msy and saying please and thankyou. These
litle things make a big diference
Kate C: Thanks for tht report, Larry. Taal for tonight, so wil
now politely wish all of you avery good evening,

LISTENING 1: The Game of Life™

Speaker: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name's Alex
Vargas, and Im a boaré game developer. Thank you for inviting me
to this meeting of the Board Game Club. Tonight were going to see
Jhow games reat to reli. Tm going to introduce you toa new game
‘that Im working on now. But frst, here ite history of one the best
known games the United States today. Is The Game of Lite” from
the Milton Bradley Company: Tis game is mote than 150 yeas old,
and its still one of the company’s most popular games.
Milton Bradley wasa famous game developer in the 19th century. In
1860, he started the Milton Bradley Company. For the company first
product, he developed aboard game called The Checkered Game of
Life, The game became an instant success It sold over 4,000 copies in
its fst year,
Here's a picture of Bradley’ original game, It looks like a checkerboard
‘with is red and Black squares. In this game, players went through ie
‘They began as babies here in the lower let comer inthe square called
Infaney. The abject ofthe game was to finish a Happy Old Age atthe
top of the board. Bradley wanted the gume to teach children moral
values Players got points for landing on good squares lke honesty and
‘bravery. They lost point on squares ike prison and crime
Miton Bradley died in 1911, but is company continued. Years later,
in 1960, the Milton Bradley Company published a new version of The
Game of Life" to celebrates 100th year. That game is wry different
from Bradley’ orignal game. The object ofthe modern game isto get,
the most money and end on the "Milionare” square, not "Happy Old
Age? There are no spaces wth moral values. The company updates
the game every fee year because of changes modern ie For
‘example, n the most ecent versions, payers bay things with “zed
card instead of play money. Between 1960 and the year 2008, the
new versions of The Game of Life" sald more than 35 millon copes
‘What do the changes inthe gem shove us about the changes in our
real lives during the lst 150 years? That an interesting quertion,
Miton Bradley’ ideas were very different. His me didnt focus so
‘much on maney.
Now tomy game, Fm developing a game with a real-life purpose
