Were the "great house" used for residence, storage or ceremonial centers? The reading claimed several reasons that supported that idea. While the speaker, in the listening, contended that it was probably not real, which was totally opposite to the reading. Their respective views and reasons are as follows.
The first reason for speaker’s disagreement with the reading was that even though the ‘great house’ was closed to several residences found before looking from outside, there were few fireplaces inside. However, the fireplaces were essential for daily cooking of people in the old days. What's more, there were not enough rooms for hundreds of people to live in. This viewpoint indeed proposed a powerful question to the author, who emphasized that the structure of "great house" was similar with other ones, so they were used for residence.
Another reason why the professor in the listening disagrees with the writer was that if ‘great house’ were used for storage, why there was no maize or containers for maize left? Therefore, it sounded not reasonable enough for the passage to contend that the ‘great house’ was used for storing because their sizes were fitting for this function.
The final argument provide by the lecture was that apart from broken pots, there were also many building material found. It means that the ‘great house’ might be a place for throwing away thing without usefulness. To be more accurately, the ‘great house’ was more like a trash hit rather than ceremonial centers. His statements seriously refuted the standpoint from the text that the broken pots were used in the ceremonies and then discarded by people.
In conclusion, the professor clearly identified the weaknesses in the reading and convincingly showed that the central argument in the reading that the ‘great house’ might be once used for residence, storage or ceremonial centers was inaccurate.

In 20 years, people will lead a more leisurely life.
When it comes to the issue about what kind of future life human beings would like to chase, many people argue that owing to the development of technology, the future seems to be a leisure one. While others were just on the contrary. Each opinion has its redeeming feature if being determined on a case-by-case basis. On a personal level, I am in favor of the prior one.
Admittedly, the development happened in recent year indeed conducted a lot of inconvenient or even scared events for human in specific aspects. Since the internet was invented and became predominant in our daily life, the issue of internet safety came along. The recent event of Snowden, an employee of CIA, showed the global people that the advance of internet makes the illegal wiretap possible, which produced panic of citizens for being eavesdropped. What's more, increment of illegally stealing personal information also makes alerted about potential danger. Granted all the disadvantages above, is it a good idea to claim that future life will be more complex rather than leisure? When taking more factors into consideration, as far as I am concerned, the leisure brought by advanced technologies outweighs the complexity.
Compared with former transportation, the traffic instruments today save us a lot of time, which we should believe that it will do the same thing in the future. We may easily quote a single instance to illustrate this. Before the China Railway High-speed was put into operation, the time spent on arriving Xiamen from Fuzhou should be five hours. However, since the CRH was used, it only takes you two hours. Last summer, when I tried to back home by CRH, I surprisingly found that the distance between the two city had been shorted so many that I could spend few time on transportation, which meant that I can get home more easily and avoid the long-time travel. Of course, I can spend more time with my family, much more leisure, right? Hence, we'd better come the conclusion that , at least on the aspect of transportation, the developed technologies has made our more leisure and it will constantly improve its service in the future.
In addition, the internet brings us more convenience than trouble. The invention of network helps us to receive information much prompt than usual. There was a survey about the recognition for internet in the 2008 in China. According to the result, about 80% young people in China believed that the internet help they complete work more effectively and efficiently. Examples like this happen everywhere. When I was still a senior student, I had to submit the homework to teachers by face to face. But now, increasing number of works could be done by computer and I can send these works to specified email-box without getting there. It enables me to have more time having fun, does it? Thus, it is high time to concede the convenience the technologies have brought to us until now and it’s reasonable to image that they will bring us more in the future.
In the nutshell, from what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that even though the advancing technologies brought some inconvenient, it brought more convenience to us such as faster transportation and quicker information. Thus, we should believe that with the constantly development of technologies, our future will be more leisure on a more objective understanding.
