3. According to the reading, the wiriter aurges that a university should award college credits to students who volunteer to work to prepare a school event.
The woman thinks it is a good idea for two reasons.
First, she says that there is no any sort of reward given to students for thier volunteer activities, leading to shortage of volunteers when organizing school events. For example, music festival last year had trouble finidng enough workers. However, if students begin earning college creidts, the number of applicants for volunteer will increase.
Second, she mentions that acquiring creidts ensures that volunteer acitivities are recored on an offical document. To elaborate. this helps students in the job application process. This is because when students wirte volunteer works on resume potential employers can confirm easily with student's trasncript.
For these reasons, the woman belives the suggestion is a desirable solution.
4. According to the reading, convergent evolution means that different specieis get to have similar characters as a result of adjusting to the same envrionemnt.
The professor uses two examples to explain this concept.
First, she explains that sharks and dolphins look very similar. Although they are from separte types, the same habitat envrionment causes them to develop similar tratis. To be specific, they all have long body that experiences less drag and triangular fins that gives them stabiltiy. The need to adapt to same surroudings explaines their similar appearnace.
Second, she explains that seals and penguines share a similar physical trait. They have limbs that help them move swiftly in water and on land. This is because they all need to develop the ability to travel in water and on land.
Two examples illustrate convergent evolution.
5. The woman's problem is that news members in her musical are not proficient at performing on stage.
The man suggests two possible solutions to the problem. The first suggestion is to defer the musical. The second suggestion is to only use the original members.
I think that second suggestion is better for her. This is because if she changes the date of the musical, there will be much confusion among people. So some people will miss the musical. But even though modifying script is a burden, she can present perfect muscial to audiences with experienced actors.
For these resaons, I would recommend the second option for her.
6. The professor explains how sales people can deal with common customer concerns by giving two examples.
First, he describes how to overcome the concern that a new product is prone to malfuncting or breaking. The sales people could settle this issue by ensuring that the company stands behind the product. To be specific, they are able to go over all detials of warranty terms and emphasize what makes the warranty remarkable.
Second, he describes how to overcome the worry that a news products seems complicated for people to use. The solution for the worry is to provide customers with an instruction and training. This makes customers be confidnet about using the product on their own. Also the sales people have to introduce many funcitons of each TV and answer all questions of customers.
These exmpales demonstarte how the company can appraoch customers who have somes concerns about a new product.
