Now you’ve only been there this one semester so this is your first experience with students undergoing the pressure of finals, right? I mean I was an undergraduate for four years in New York University (NYU) and I went through finals for 8 terms, 9 counting this one. NYU has a high pressure academic environment That’s why I first started this program.
    When I was at NYU, my first exposure to the dogs, [20] being brought to help relieve the pressure of finals, was in those of my sophomore or junior year and our building for a stress day. They had just an hour a week you could have a puppy and it was so simple and easy and unique to put on and it drew a lot of attention. It worked truly well. So when I was hired here, I really wanted to expand the program, do it on a much larger scale.
    How did it work? The way it actually works is we worked with a therapy dog organization called Dog-Bones. So what we do is actually in October, you know, at the height of mid-terms of task. We had both 60 dogs at a time coming in, a total of maybe 12-16 people over a 2-day-period.
    [21] Some students like to pat the dogs and stay right up on them and especially ones that have dogs at their home or dog people, and someone just sit around and talk with each other and take pictures and do whatever they want to do, but even those people that aren’t really patting the dogs are still having fun. It’s still part of a really fun environment.
    I absolutely believe it is effective for anything. It’s why they do it in hospitals and in elementary schools. In general, having any kind of break from studying during really stressful periods like midterms and finals is necessary. [22] Taking a half hour out of that, walking around, coming downstairs, completely changing your mindset into something different is really effective in combating some of that stress.
    Dogs were really really good. They were very good and they loved their bellies rubbed and they loved getting treats from the kids. Or maybe we can persuade Congress to allow some dogs on the Florida House, or the Senate and settle those people down.
    20. What was the purpose of the stress day of New York University?
    21. What do students do in the program?
    22. What method is effective in combating study stress?

选项 A、They prepare for finals.
B、They take care of stray dogs.
C、They hang out with dogs.
D、They have fun with friends.

答案 C

解析 据主讲人介绍,活动中学生们要么抚摸狗医生,要么聚在一起聊天、拍照或做自己喜欢做的事情,享受活动的乐趣,C项“与狗待在一起”概括了活动的重点,是正确选项。这个活动是让学生释放考试压力,而不是A项所说的“让学生备考”。B项的take care of有误,活动中学生只和狗一起玩耍,并非照顾狗,而且录音中也没有说这些狗是流浪狗,故排除B项。活动中学生们不仅仅是和朋友聚会,活动的重点是借小狗缓解压力,D项表述不准确。
