Don’t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance,instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals’goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2.According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3.Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5.Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1D 2.C3.

I did manage to keep my cool.Susan:Well, the best thing you can do is to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency.Chris: sounds like a good idea.MODEL2 I’m too depressed.ScriptSusan: Chris, I hear you’ve been down in the dumps, so I’ve come to cheer you up.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school canalso be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.课后答案网VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason”and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2.What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3.What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4.According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps. Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes!Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time.What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored.Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK. Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed.Keys: TFFTF课后答案网Task3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.。

Sample answers
Do you agree with Alice Walker when she said that “Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself”. So you can create happiness for yourself. But just like what Nathaniel Hawthorn said, “Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp.

Women are often paid less than men. Their career aspirations reflect traditional female roles and they generally choose jobs like teaching or nursing. However, for some women, workleads to social changes: Some live alone because they are economically independent. In families, often both parents work, but for women this raises choices between family and work because they feel responsible for raising their children. If they put children in a day care centre, they feel guilty about leaving their children and they feel they are failing.Passage 12) That feminism has gone too far; it treats men as inferior.3) There is no r eal equality of pay; men still have the top jobs but they aren’t always shown as super-masculine.4)It is good that men aren’t always shown as super-masculine, because this is more realistic.5) A car insurance ad, which shows a woman as a smart boss and a man as a dumb idiot.

Unit 1 Leisure activities in Book 4Part 1 listening oneEver wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “the magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothing’s really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your new tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word “No”. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will put this word in your mind." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the piece of paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote ‘No’ on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Exe. 1 T F F F F TExe. 2Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick?2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate his thoughts to theaudience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1.

Welcome to our weekly program aimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands! Listen to what our twoguests have to say about their hobbies and how their hobbies have made adifference to their lives. Adrienne first, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling. Whenever I travelsomewhere, I like to pick up something to remind me of the place that Ivisited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pick up a small piece of jewelryinstead of getting a poster or a T-shirt that won’t last. I like the idea ofhaving something small and also, I find whenever I wear jewelry fromsomewhere, it’s a good conversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Wheredid you get this?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet andtalk to people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balance and strong arms,you'll like canoeing! The main trouble is transporting your canoe to theright places—my father takes it on the roof of the car—or sometimes I put iton the roof of the club’s Land Rover. What it has taught me most is to beindependent. It's just you and the canoe against the wind, the weather andthe water. It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really excitingas long as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feel closeto nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began to run my owncanoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particular career. Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer.Exe 1:Questions:1. Who is the target audience of the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan? Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film . It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd choose the film.Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's far more real. You can feel the atmosphere much better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, the right accents. Don'tyou think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on the film because you never know what they are thinking. Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema and it takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours, but it might take me a week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends. When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ.

And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30.Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK for a beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me give you a schedule. Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class?Receptionist: You pay ￡1 entrance fee and then the classes are ￡2.50 each and ￡3.50 for the jazz dancing. It's there on the sheet.Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two weeks.Receptionist: Oh, right.

Woman: O h, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.Woman: O h, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britain would be easier.No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to many of the interesting places in Britain already.What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we can travel round Britainwhenever we like. There's no point in wasting our summer holiday here. Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when we go abroad.And, it's so confusing.Woman: O h, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And, what's more, I can't speak any other languages—you know that. It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages.Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: B ut just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet!Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much. Woman: I'm sorry, Steve, no. I don't fancy another cold English summer. Questions:1. Where does Steve want to spend the summer holiday?2.

It seems that the Romans played a game very much like our modern rugby with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost 100 players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, football was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association. It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed this possible? Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the Englishbegan to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5. CListening 4In one town, there were three longtime friends, Pat, Mike and Bob. Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke I played on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square when Mike decided to play the same joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object about, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob looking down at him very worried. Mike said, "That was a good joke I played on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

When Billy took the final driving test, he ran into a wall. But they still passed him.The first day of actual driving in the real world, Billy was drunk. He hadfound beer in his dad's fridge and had thought, what's a better way ofcelebrating than beer and a drive to my friend's house?The driving schools really should teach more. As Billy swerved down the road, a kid in front of him accidentally kicked the ball into the street and ran to go get it. Billy was too busy giggling to himself because he had thought ofsomething funny to notice the child. All he felt was a big bump, which he just thought was a pothole, and kept driving.A few minutes later a cop car was in pursuit. Billy heard the sirens andlooked behind him to see the cop car. He pulled over to the side of the road as the cop came to the window.无用户答案[Reference Answer:The cop gave the hand signal to roll down the window but Billy was too drunk to understandwhat he meant. Finally Billy just opened the door, hitting the cop in the knee.The cop pulled out his gun, and told Billy to put his hands behind his head.] "Sir, have you been drinking this evening?" the cop asked."Why, no, sir. I drank a little beer but it was just a celebration," said Billy.The cop handcuffed Billy and put him in the back of the car. He was taken by the cop to the station and put into jail for driving under the influence. They really should teach more in that driving school.Unit21.

While banks merged and changed names and management, McCarty's savings grew.Bank personnel, realizing that McCarty was accumulating sizeable savings, advised her to put her money into CD's (certificates of deposits), conservative mutual funds, and other accounts where it would work for her.Meanwhile, McCarty washed and ironed and lived frugally. She has never had a car and still walks everywhere she goes.无用户答案[Reference Answer:She shows a visitor the shopping cart she pushes to Big Star, more than a mile away, to get groceries.

Unit 1 Men and Women’s PrejudicesFamous QuoteThere can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.—Virginia WoolfVirginia Woolf (1882-1941): A British novelist, essayist, critic, publisher and feminist. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway(1925), To theLighthouse(1927) and Orlando(1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One’sOwn(1929), with its famous dictum, “A woman must have money and a room of herown if she is to write fiction.”Unit OverviewDo men and women really come from the different planets? If not, why have they, for centuries, vilified one another? This may all result from the prejudices against each other. After the women’s movement and men’s movement, we are now on the way to a better understanding of men and women in terms of their differences and equality. In this unit, you will find out women’s social status, differences and similarities between the two sexes, and their new social roles. Students will consider the gender issue through listening, viewing and reading. A variety of activities will inspire them to talk about gender roles and gender equality using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a survey on ‘Gender Consciousness in Advertisements’.In this unit, you will∙consider the gender issues through listening, viewing and reading∙discuss the gender roles and gender equality through guided activities∙conduct a survey on ‘Gender Consciousness in Advertisements’∙pick up useful words and expressions∙learn to reflect on your own learning and comment on that of your peers∙learn to think independently, critically and creativelyBackground Information“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction”. Eighty years ago Virginia Woolf published these words in an essay that was to become one of the seminal feminist texts of our age. “A Room of One’s Own” has shaped the way in which creative achievement by men and women is viewed, and provided a point of reference for generations of female writers. Woolf uses the ‘room’ as a symbol for privacy, leisure time, and financial independence, all of which have been historically lacking for women. Women today are still struggling to find the mental and physical space for their creativity and advocating for equal rights with men in society.In response to the Women’s Movement, there arose a Men’s Movement. Three books have catalyzed the mythopoetic me n’s movement: Robert Bly’s Iron John, Sam Keen’s Fire in the Belly,and Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette’s King, Warrior, Magician, Lover . All posit a stable entity called “male identity” and see initiation as a key to achieving it.Wherever these two movements will lead, it is time we took a new look on the gender roles and female-male relations.Global Gender Gap Index Rank 2009 Country Score Rank 2008 1 Iceland 0.828 4 2 Finland 0.825 2 3 Norway 0.823 1 4 Sweden 0.814 3 5 New Zealand 0.788 5 6 South Africa 0.770 22 7 Denmark 0.763 7 8 Ireland 0.760 8 9 Philippines 0.758 6 10Lesotho0.75016* 0-1 scale: 0= inequality, 1= equalityTopic Preview1.

This task is designed to prepare students for the topic “Men and Women’s Pr ejudices ”.2. Ask students to describe the picture with their peers.3.

That’s the question raised by a thought-provoking study, ‘The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness’ released last month. The research showed that over the past 35 years women’s happiness has declined, both compared to the past and relative to men even though, by most objective measures, the lives of women in the U.S. have improved in recent decades.The research, by University of Pennsylvania economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found the decline in happiness to be pervasive among women across a variety of demographic groups. The researchers measured similar declines in happiness among women who were single parents and married parents. They cast doubt on the hypothesis that trends in marriage and divorce, single parenthood or work/family balance are at the root of the happiness declines among women.One theory for the decline in happiness is that expectations for workplace and general advancement were raised too high by the women’s movement and women might feel inadequate for not having it all.The researchers acknowledge that is a possibility. They think that If the women’s movement raised women’s expectations faster than society was able to meet them, the women would be more likely be disappointed by their actual life experiences. But the researchers also add that things could change for the better, a s women’s expectations move into alignment with their experiences, this decline in happiness may reverse.Adapted from/juggle/2009/06/22/why-arent-women-happier/tab/article/Video StudioWord Bank1. ingrained Adjsomething firmly established and therefore difficult to change 根深蒂固的2. psyche n. s omeone’s mind or their basic nature, which controls their attitudes and behavior 心灵3. mathematician n. someone who studies or teaches mathematics, or is a specialist in mathematics 数学老师，数学家4. physicist n. someone who studies or works in physics 物理学家5.cite v.to mention something as an example, especially one that supports, proves or explains an idea or situation 引证6.coefficient n.the number by which something that varies is multiplied 系数 7. calculusn.the branch of mathematics that is concerned with limits and with the differentiation and integration of functions 微积分Task 1 Matching & PredictingTeaching Tips1.

Institutes provide a special course to the girls to show students that math is the gateway to a future in technology.2. Hi-tech has turned cool with everyone texting and downloading , and some people getting very rich , which inspired the girls to take theScriptGender Differences in MathMany teachers and parents have said it; it is sort of a thought ingrained in the American psyche that boys are better than girls at mathematics. But is it true? The lack of women mathematicians, engineers and physicists has often been cited as proof of a difference in the sexes in math performance. But today a team of researchers writing in the journal Science says the conventional wisdom is completely wrong. With our closer look, here is ABC’s Ned Potter.“Oh, oh, look, look, we can do it.”15 years ago, it was an issue that filled the headlines that by high school, girls were falling 50 points behind boys on the SAT college entrance exam. (It’s the coefficient of A) Here’s part of a story of ours from 1994.“For anytime I see math, I just, I try and stay away from it.”But somet hing’s changed. This is Ramona ; she was a baby when we did that first story. Now she is building robots in a special course of the New Jersey Institute of Technology. And she says she loves the stuff.“What is it about math that you like?”“The fact that I understand it so cruising like sometimes I don’t have to study to actually get it. It just comes natural to me.”Researchers looked at test scores from more than 7 million kids grades 2 to 11, and whatever differences there used to be, they are now gone.What’s happened? Among other things, hi -tech has turned cool with everyone texting and downloading, and some people getting very rich. “Plans need a g as called . . .”And teachers have been reaching out aggressively to girls, urging them to get in on the action. “500 points for you.”Being interested in science, engineering and technology is not, does not make you a geek, and as a matter of fact, it’s the geeks who rule the world.The result, for the first time girls are taking math as often as boys. “I feel like I am learning a lot more this year.”We are not born knowing how to do calculus. And when girls take classes at the same rate as boys, we tend to get a narrowing of the gender gap. Most of America’s engineers are still men, but that’smath-related subjects.3. Teachers have reached out aggressively to the girls, and urged them to get in on the action .changing. Half of the kids who go on to get math degrees are now female.Ned Potter, ABC News, Newark, New JerseySource:/Technology/story?id=5441728&page=2Notes:1. SAT: The SAT test is a college preparatory exam devised to give an idea of a student’s competency with basic skills in mathematics, reading and writing. Since the early 20th century, the SAT test has been a major source of information for colleges and has served as a benchmark of public education.2. Geek: Originally it means a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake. Now it often refers to an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity.Speaking WorkshopTeaching Tips1.This section is designed to draw students’attention to useful expressions and structures in thislesson.2.Encourage students to use these expressions and structures in the following speaking activities.

Then prepare an oral presentation with the help of the tips.Tips… not hardwired to excel in …✧…be ingrained in …✧…gender gap …✧… tailored courses✧… reach out aggressively to ...✧… urge to...✧…gateway to a future…✧As a result …SummaryFifteen years ago, the stereotype that girls were simply not hardwired to excel in mathematics was ingrained in people’s ps yche. But a recent study shows the gender gap in math performance has disappeared. The change may result from the fact that some institutes offer tailored courses to girls and teachers have reached out aggressively to girls, urging them to take math classes. Besides, hi-tech has turned cool, and geeky role models show students that math is the gateway to a future in technology. This message seems to be working. As a result, girls take classes at the same rate as boys nowadays, and we tend to get a narrowing gender gap.While most of America’s engineers are still men, that demographic is shifting. Half of the students who continue on to get math degrees are now female.Task 2 Solving the ProblemTeaching Tips1.This speaking activity is designed to encourage students to think creatively about how to solvereal life problems with the knowledge they have acquired in this lesson.2.Ask students to form groups of four or five and assign them different roles.3.Encourage students to u se as many phrases from the “Expressions & Structures to Use” box aspossible in their role play.4.Monitor the process and provide appropriate assistance when necessary.Work with your peers on the situation below and try to come up with a solution to the problem described. You are expected to share your ideas and justify yourself in this process. Use as many phrases from the “Expressions & Structures to Use” box as possible.Situation1.Work in groups of four. One student should act as an HR manager of a giant telecommunicationscompany, who is hunting for a Sales Manager for its business development in China. The company engages in telecommunication equipment and services, and has been competing fiercely with its rivals for the market share in China. The others should act as applicants of both sexes. In a job interview, the candidates should try every means to convince the HR manager of his/her own competence for the post. Taking factors as the candidates qualities and labour cost into consideration, the HR manager should make the decision and tell why this is so.2.You have 15 minutes to discuss within your own group.3.Several groups will be selected to present their role plays. The rest of the class will vote for theone they feel happiest to support in each group’s performance.4.Ask the class to pay attention to the ways boy and girl students present themselves in the jobinterview.

According to Professor Hyde, why do girls lag behind their male counterparts in math?Answer: Their parents have lower expectation of their success and that affects their confidence.3.According to Professor Hyde, what accounts for the gender differences in society?Answer:1) Society’s expectation of how men and women should behave shape people’s attitudes and guide their behaviours.2) Over-inflating claims of gender differences exercise influence on people’s psychology.ScriptMen may be from Venus tooMen and women might be on the same planetary wavelength after all. According to PsychologistProfessor Janet Hyde at the University of Wisconsin, men and women are more alike than different in personality, communication, cognitive ability and leadership than is generally believed.The studies looked at cognitive abilities, such as the ability to do mathematics, verbal and nonverbal communication, aggression, leadership, self-esteem, moral reasoning and motor behaviour, such as throwing distance and found large gender differences in throwing distance, and attitudes about casual sex, and a moderate difference in aggression. But for most psychological characteristics, she found no differences between men and women.Hyde found evidence that differences between men and women are linked to society’s expectation of how they should behave. For instance, women smiled more than men when observed but this was not the case when they thought they were not being observed. Hyde says the findings provide strong evidence against the idea that psychological differences between men and women are “large and stable”.Besides the social expectations, over-inflating claims of differences between men and women can be damaging. After examining the gender differences in math performance in high school, Hyde revealed that it could be due to parents having lower expectations of their daughters’ s uccess in math and thus affecting her self-confidence and performance.She also found women’s success as workplace leaders can also be hindered if they go against the caring and nurturing stereotype.So it’s really amazing how people’s perceptions of them selves and their own behaviours are in fact a reflection of assumptions and constructs in society.Adapted from‘Men may be from Venus too’, by Anna Salleh, 19 September 2005 .au/science/articles/2005/09/19/1462074.htmVideo StudioWord Bank1. psychiatrist n. a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mentaldisorders 精神病医师2. feminine adj.womanly女性的3. masculinity n. the properties of the male sex 男性，雄性4. chores n. the regular or daily light work of a household or farm 家务,杂事5. maternity leave n. leave allowed to the woman who has just given birth to a child 产假6. a stay-at-homemom a mom who remains at home especially to tend to children and domestic duties while her spouse is at work 全职妈妈7. flexibility n. a quality of being adaptable or variable 弹性，机动性8. cut to the chase get to the main point 闲话少说，切入正题。

Unit 11. Mention at least three reasons people get angry. What can we do to control our anger?People tend to get angry when treated unfairly. Specifically, we may fly into a rage when we realize we were betrayed by a close friend or tricked by a clerk into buying something unnecessary at a high price. When people treat us with contempt, or deliberately ignore us, we may get annoyed. Also, the sight of injustice often fills us with indignation. For instance, when we see a child being bullied by a group of hoodlums, it makes our blood boil.To overcome our anger, we have two options: to fight or to run. In the case of a small offense, it's better to walk away and calm down. It is not necessary to explode at a slight provocation. However, when confronted with a gross injustice or a serious crime, we need to stand up for ourselves and speak our mind. After venting our anger, we may feel better. If we keep negative feelings to ourselves, we will probably feel miserable for a long time and regret not taking action.2．Why do people get depressed? Is there any connection between depression and bad luck? Can depression be overcome?People feel blue for a variety of reasons. They feel depressed after failing an exam or losing a job. They feel grief when someone dear to them, for example a close family member, passes away. Suffering from a serious disease with little hope of a complete recovery, one may feel dejected.There seems to be a relationship between depression and bad luck. If your spirits are down and you show it, people might refrain from talking to you. Many good opportunities may slip away as a result. And you might be left wondering why your luck doesn't change.To cheer yourself up, you can study or work. Your mood might improve if you keep yourself busy and try to achieve goals. And if staying busy doesn't help, you can just wait for the sadness to go away. It is said that time heals all wounds. Finally, you might find solace in realizing. Your situation is not the worst. You can also choose to look at the bright side of things because every cloud has a silver lining.3. What makes you happy? Are you happy when others are happy?The greatest pleasures seem to come from hard-won achievements. For example, if after a lot of hard work, you passed an important examination, finished a big project, or got a promotion, you would feel incredibly happy, right?Human happiness is not limited to one's good fortune or success. If you help someone in need, you'll probably feel wonderful. This accounts for the success of Project Hope, through which people volunteer time and donate money to help people in need.4. Is there a relationship between reason and emotion? Which plays a bigger role in our lives?Both reason and emotion are important in our lives. Although they are obviously different from each other, they complement each other just the same. Think about it, it is difficult to isolate reason from emotion and vice versa. When one is arguing, one is combining logic with feelings. When a speaker is advocating a principle, the feeling he puts into his voice reinforces his argument. When scientists conduct researches, they may choose an area that is interesting to them. Darwin studied science because he had been fascinated by plants and animals since his childhood.However, in some areas either reason or emotion may play a bigger role. Science students may need morelogic than emotion to conduct experiments, while art students tend to rely more on their emotion for creativity. Within a family, people usually cherish the emotional ties between family members. Emotion could be more important than reason when falling in love or trusting a member of one's family, whereas reason plays an important role when deciding how to educate a child. Together or separate, reason and emotion play critically important roles in our lives. What do you think? Or feel?Unit 21. In what ways can people improve their appearance?Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways. They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, use makeup to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or a skin soother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished. Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow's feet. Some even inject botox (肉毒素) to remove wrinkles. More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.2. Why do some people want to improve their appearance?A love of beauty is part of human nature. People like to see beautiful scenery, flowers, and animals. It is not strange that they also want to look at good-looking humans and improve the way they look themselves. With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion.Some occupations attach great importance to appearance. Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident. With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.3. What disadvantages are there in plastic surgery?We should not attempt to change our physical appearance by cosmetic means. Such changes may bring unexpected disasters in the future.Some beautifying methods, if not properly applied, have dangerous side effects. People who receive botox injections to remove wrinkles may eventually ruin their skin. Some surgical operations that are intended to make single-fold eyelids double fold actually make them multi-folded -- not what the patient had in mind.4. How can one strike a balance between buying clothes on a budget and yet having fashionable clothes to wear?People who don't have much money can also make themselves look fashionable. There are many ways to buy fashionable clothes without spending much money. For example, people can buy clothes that are on sale or sold in discount stores. It's smart to buy winter clothes at the end of the winter. Clothes are cheaper at the end of a season and can be stored until the next season. Some people are good tailors, and they can alter their clothes to make them fashionable. They may even create original styles.Unit 41.In an enterprise or institution, is it necessary to clearly describe each employee's duties? Explain. Generally speaking, it is necessary. Employees' job should be clearly defined. With a detailed job description, a worker will have a definite aim and high motivation to work toward that aim. They know how they will be rewarded and punished. Accurate job descriptions can do much to prevent unnecessary duplication and conflict among workers. If everyone in a company works as an organized team, the company is likely to grow and prosper.However, some potential problems are worth noting. If a job description is too detailed, some staff members will turn a blind eye to anything that falls outside their scope of responsibilities even if it is important to the company as a whole. Nor should job descriptions stand in the way of cooperation among employees. If those problems can be overcome, job descriptions will play a significant role in the company's progress.2. When a boss employs or promotes people, what may be his or her chief consideration: their education or their practical ability?In fact, most bosses will consider both, though they may probably attach more importance to the candidate's ability. After all, a company's profits come directly from the abilities of the entire staff. Many of the qualities of a good worker such as diligence, teamwork, loyalty to the company, and courtesy to customers are gained through on-the-job training rather than from book knowledge.However, one's educational background is not unimportant. If one can enroll in a distinguished university and attain a high GPA, it is likely that one already possesses good qualities like industriousness, intelligence, organizational ability, and a strong will -- qualities that are equally useful in the workplace. But it's also possible that some students from the academic ivory tower are merely bookworms without much capacity for practical work. A boss is unlikely to promote such an employee.3. Some bosses employ and promote only relatives or those who come from their hometown. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this hiring practice.Hiring people he is familiar with does offer the boss advantages. Those people are usually willing to work hard and are loyal to the boss, who often entrusts them with such important responsibilities as being a financial manager or human resources manager.However, the disadvantages inherent in a family business outweigh the advantages. To begin with, it is not always easy to find a relative who can take up a highly technical position such as software development engineer or an in-house lawyer. Perhaps none of the boss's relatives is even a competent electrician. Then, too, there are problems if the boss's sister-in-law is chief financial officer. A top-notch accounting graduate will quickly realize her chances of promotion are slim and will work for another company. Worse still, if relatives turn against the boss, they may be able to deal him a deadly blow since they often know many company secrets.4. Should managers be strict with or kind to their employees?Generally speaking, managers should be strict with their employees; otherwise they may find it difficult to keep good discipline in the workplace. For example, some employees may come in late and leave early. They may call in sick without good reason. Even when they are in the office, they may idle the day away chatting with each other.However, a manager should show concern for his or her subordinates when they do have difficulties likean acute illness or other unexpected problems. If employees feel sincerely appreciated, they tend to work harder.Unit 51. What kinds of employees are likely to be fired?If employees do not observe company or department rules, they are likely to be fired. Any boss will be angry if employees are late for work or use the company phone to talk with friends. A boss dislikes people who do not work hard, gossip a lot or read the newspaper over a cup of tea for hours. Even if one works hard, the boss may not be satisfied if one does not work with high efficiency. After all, company profits come from employee achievements. Even though you've made significant personal contributions to the company, if you do not get along well with your colleagues, you may impede the company's productivity. After all, most jobs require teamwork nowadays. Usually the boss places a high value on employee loyalty. Disloyal employees may sell the company's secrets and ruin it overnight. When the company is in financial difficulty and downsizing, the first to be dismissed will be those who have some of the above-mentioned problems.2. What kinds of people are better prepared for a layoff?In contemporary society job changes are inevitable. Few people will stay in the same company all their lives. So, from time to time people should look for signs that layoffs are coming. For example, fewer customer orders, layoffs in similar companies, and an economic recession are warnings. In addition to noticing bad omens like the above, people should study the kinds of skills or technologies that are in great demand. If one industry is on the decline, they should equip themselves with knowledge and skills in other industries. When adequately prepared, they will not panic if they receive a dismissal notice. They can go to a different job or even a different career without too much difficulty.3. After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why?Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they cannot get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then, they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master's degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master's degree or even a PhD. And we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.4. If a company doesn't perform well in a certain field, for example, software development, should it outsource or train its own employees to do it?Some companies prefer to outsource the production they are not good at. Against the background of globalization, the division of work is accelerating. Often you can find a more specialized or more professional company that can do the same work with better quality at a lower rate. But outsourcing inevitably brings about problems. It is not always easy to lay off the employees, especially if they have served the company for a long time. They may ask for dismissal benefits that are too high for theorganization to bear. So, perhaps the company can provide their workers with training to improve their production skills. If the workers feel grateful, they will work harder for the company's prosperity.Unit 71．Name at least ten recreational activities, including those requiring a lot of physical exertion and those that are more relaxing.Some forms of recreation require a high level of physical activity. Here are some examples: football, basketball, badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Some people like climbing mountains, going bodysurfing, or going rafting. After those strenuous outings, they feel mentally relaxed.On the other hand, some people prefer more sedentary（久坐的）activities. Instead of playing a ball game, they watch it. They go to a cinema, a theater, an opera house or a concert hall, or they simply sit at home watching TV. Some play various kinds of games on the computer, and others play chess or cards. Even when they want to stay outdoors, they may choose peaceful pastimes like fishing.2．What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment?With the advent of the computer and the Internet, we can play all kinds of games in the virtual world; we can play chess and cards with people we have never met, even a chess master. We can travel to all parts of the world on the Net. We can send and receive e-mails, and chat with people online. Moreover, we can make use of the Net as a way of learning.But we should be careful not to get too much of a good thing. If we sit in front of a computer all day long, there will be many negative effects. Our eyes ay get damaged. Long exposure to radiation from the computer may cause disease. Too much sedentary work is bad for our health. We may neglect human relationships and communication between one another. In the end we would rather talk to a computer than to a human.3. Would you like to go on a tour during the vacation?If I have enough money, I’d like to visit a distant place during my vacation. After a term of hard work, I think I deserve a trip for relaxation. From the trip, I could gain useful geographical and historical knowledge about that the place—knowledge different from what we acquire from books. Furthermore, I would be refreshed from traveling, and then I could work more energetically in the next term. However, if I do not have enough money to travel, I can relax myself in many other ways. I can go to parks, or enjoy local scenic and historical sites. What’s more, on the Internet I can visit remote places of the world. I can play computer games to kill time. Perhaps I will also do a lot of reading. If I arm myself with abundant knowledge, I may find a good job, which will offer me opportunities for traveling both at home and abroad.4. Stores are closed in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays in many Western countries, while they are normally open in China. Which system do you prefer? Why?In my opinion, each system has its advantages and disadvantages. The weekend is meant for people to have a rest, and the employees at stores, post offices, government departments, schools and so on all deserve a rest. The two-day weekend was won after centuries of demands for workers' rights. If one store breaks the rules and stays open on the weekend, it will do unusually good business, but this is unfair competition. If people can enjoy proper rest over the weekends, they can work more vigorously duringthe weekdays.However, if all stores are closed, this can be inconvenient for many people, especially those in double-income households. If a small proportion of the population, that is those in the service industry, work on weekends, most people will enjoy their weekends even more. On the whole, I am in favor of the current Chinese system.Unit101. What are the essential differences between the concepts of individualism and collectivism? Search the Internet for information.Individualism asserts the primary importance of the individual and hold s that an individual’s interests should be placed above the group’s. Individuals are being given opportunities and freedom to develop character, interests, abilities, careers, etc. within the context of individualism. In addition, the collective culture respects and even values the initiatives of each reason.On the other hand, collectivism emphasized the interests of the group over those of the individual. It is believed that if the group prospers, all its members prosper. If an individual works for the benefit of the group, he or she will benefit as well. Sometimes collectivism requires individuals to sacrifice their short-term interest to the group’s long-term goals. Perhaps we should strike a balance between promoting team spirit and bringing individual initiative into play.2. Should different cultures integrate or keep their own characteristics?A well-integrated nation is more capable of maintaining unity and stability. People in some countries dislike foreigners or ethnic minorities to behave differently from the norm. They prefer foreigners to assimilate into their culture. The saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, illustrates this point. The trend toward globalization promotes international exchanges and integration of different cultures. On the other hand, diversified cultures make our world more interesting and colorful. If all nations integrated into one, the world would be monotonous. Therefore, all ethnic groups should be allowed to keep their unique customs. The Chinese government has adopted favorable policies to allow the ethnic minorities to keep their unique customs. All nations should be treated equally. Large nations should not pose their cultures on small nations.The world is composed of different countries and cultures. To achieve better development and cooperation, perhaps we should advocate multiculturalism while encouraging free exchanges between cultures.3. Should we be punctual for class, work or appointments? Why? What can you do to ensure punctuality? In the past, Chinese did not attach much importance to punctuality. In an agricultural country punctuality was not very important. But nowadays, owing to the quickened pace of life and the influence of Western concepts of time, the Chinese seem to be paying more attention to punctuality. If somebody is twenty minutes late for an appointment, you may be annoyed because it is a waste of your time. To avoid being late, we should make adequate preparations. In case an emergency prevents us from arriving at the destination on time, we can call ahead to inform the person concerned of the delay. But for entertainment activities like a party, we may be a bit late, for that causes no inconvenience to others.。

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3)drop everything and run for the hills! He‟s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who‟s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5)uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he‟s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall. He‟s muscular, and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, “I want a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don‟t have time!” the big man yells, (S10) “I got to get out of town! Don‟t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance,instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals‟goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2.According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3.Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5.Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1D 2.C3.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one‟s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one‟s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school canalso be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason”and “don‟t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2.What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3.What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4.According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker‟s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I‟ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there‟s nothing that can cheer me up. I‟m down in the dumps. Life‟s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can‟t. I just feel there‟s too much pressure on me sometimes!Pat: You can‟t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time.What‟s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored.Pat: If I were you, I‟d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you‟re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It‟s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It‟s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK. Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn‟t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there‟re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed.Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you‟re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world‟s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren‟t always facing the right direction to see what‟s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.。

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3)drop everything and run for the hills! He‟s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who‟s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5)uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming!

(S8) As he‟s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall.

(S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don‟t have time!” the big man yells, (S10) “I got to get out of town! Didn‟t you hear Big John is coming?”T ask3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals‟goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2.According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3.Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5.Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1D 2.C3. B 4.D 5.AHow are humans different from animals in reinforcing happiness?In the case of humans, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if humans strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals' goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.IV.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one‟s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one‟s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Depression-causingFactorsProblem Description Solution Heredity It is inherited and run in families.Physiology changes or imbalances inchemicals calledneurotransmitters, which transmitinformation in the brain Antidepressant drugs relieve certain symptoms of depression.Psychological Factors Low self-esteem andself-defeating thinking areconnected with depression.
