The business has been in the fa mily for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless c lients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in fro nt of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the w ear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell. Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for th e repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a p rice for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking abou t it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What woul d you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemaso n hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15m inutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the doo r, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in th e step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great grandda ddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference3. countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4. He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain i t for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when decid ing on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of tow n” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since un employment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what ty pe of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiti ng phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate t he business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate w ith the local community and get to love it. To make the community war m to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamb er of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or oth er local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21. What is the speaker mainly talking about?22. What must you find if you are going to locate a business at adistance from your home?23. According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24. What will the recruiting money tell you?25. What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceTo decide on a good business location, one has to consider the local economy, the job market there, and whether you can integrate wit the local community.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 I am having cash problems.Bill: Helen, you started this company only a year ago. If you want i t to grow, I’m afraid you need to do something about cash flow. Helen: Bill, although you’ve worked here only for a couple of month s, you already know this company inside out. I am having cashproblems.Bill: Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy the equipme nt to be competitive. You have just barely enough funds to cover your day-to-day operational expenses.Helen: I think my best bet is to secure a small-business loan.Bill: I don’t think that’s possible. It seems to me you don’t h ave the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do then?Bill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loa ns for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don’t have much collateral, I can still qu ality for a loan?Bill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers cro ssed!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: You’ve worked as a consultant for a long time, so you know the co mpany inside out. I’m having cash problems.B: I see. If you want the company to grow, I’m afraid you need to ha ve more funds. Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy t he equipment to be competitive. You just barely have enough funds to cover your day-to-day operating expenses.A: I think my best bet is to ask the bank loan.B: I don’t think that’s the best solution.

I just need so me time to get revenues up.B: Well, apply for a risk investment, and keep your fingers crossed MODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I’ve been searching for a loan, but I was rejected ever ywhere.

I didn’t know you were in this kind of ser ious financial trouble.Helen: Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading comp etitors are discussing a merger. Then we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go frombad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the emp loyees?Helen: Early next week.Bill: What kinds of severance package will we able to offer them? Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salar y.Bill: Oh! How terrible!

Jessica: Are you sure youroperation has much to bring to the table? Bill: Definitely. The quality of our products is first-rate, and we have many reliable sales out lets. What’s more, Vivitek can propel us to even greater heights. It will be an all-around excellent match.Jessica: I think it might be, though we have yet to discuss details. Bill: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attracti ve bids.Jessica: Well, we of curse need to come up with a plan that is attra ctive for both partiesBill: True, but my boss has to keep our shareholders’ interests in mind.Jessica: It’s reasonable to keep your employees’ welfare in mind.

The problem with us is that w e don’t as many reliable sales outlets as you have. We hope your c ompany can propel us to even greater heights.A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids.So we have to be cautious in making a decision.B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match. The merger wil turn out to be a win-win (double-win\two-win) situation.A: I think that might be, though we still have to discuss specifics. B: Well, we of curse need to work out a scheme that is attractive for both parties.A: True, we have to keep in mind the interests of the shareholders of both sides.B: Good. That’s why they call you headhunters.V. Let’s TalkMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities. We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken do wn by customer age groups and sporting activities. The surveywas administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be sl ightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups Martin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future.I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athleticshoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We alsohave to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becom ing more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to irSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can havea clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and wo men of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the result s won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than o lder people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our prod uction should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their mo ney. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out. B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not qui te sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a ca reful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you mig ht sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. T he difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases it s value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vege table delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existi ng products or service. We all know that the person who can build a b etter mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, bu t found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Star t generating business ideas by looking at the products and services y ou use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.20. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?21. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?22. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synony mous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear intercha ngeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishin g business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fis hing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. Wi th some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other word s, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generatin g a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of the ir main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intan gible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds tha n manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of c ommercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types inc lude partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability compan ies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clea n the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will star t.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, t hat means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have th e job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with on ly 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to doorround. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 doll ars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he boug ht a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicl es. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers i n the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and deci ded to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.

At Florida’s Disney World, it’s a glass eye. At a hotel in England, it’s a goat and a false leg. How are all of these things similar? They are unusual things that people leave in hotel rooms, in airports, and on city streets. Irish Martino works in the lost and Found Center at an airport in a U.S. city. “Sure, we find the usual stuff—cell phones, keys, sunglasses and wallets,” she says. “But people also forget some weird things at the airport, too.” “What does Ms. Martino find? A woman’s false teeth in t he bathroom. A mannequin in an airport waiting area. “ How do you forget those things?” Martino wonders. Nobuo Hasuda works for the Lost and Found Center in downtown Tokyo. The Center has almost 800,000 items Three hundred thousand od them are umbrellas! There are also many other things--- jewelry and briefcases, snowshoes and musical instrument. Mr. Hasuda keeps the lost items for six months and two weeks. After this time, the finder can take the item. This is good luck for some people. Remember the envelope in Tokyo with $ 850,000?

People think that actors spend their time at a lot of parties and nightclubs, but that isn’t true. Actors spend hours-many hours-studying their lines for each movie. And you really have to understand people so that you can understand your characters in the movie.I’m Janice. I think the most important thi ng for a good doctor is being a good listener. You have to understand people and their problems. A good doctor likes to solve problems and always wants to help his or her patients. And you can’t be impulsive---you should always be careful. Sometimes the fi rst answer you think of isn’t the right answer. Doctors need a lot of energy, because they are usually hardworking.Hi, I’m Daniel. To be a success in business, you have to work well with groups of people. At the same time, you need to have strong opinions and be able to explain your opinions clearly.

These rules keep peace in the group. Partners are often serious, careful people. Many do well as teachers, managers, police officers, and politicians.The Thinker: For Thinkers, understanding things is very important. They like to solve problems and make new things. Thinkers can also be competitive. They like to win. They are independent and often have very strong opinions. Many Thinkers work as scientists, inventors, politicians, and engineers.The Artist: Artists want to be free. They don’t want to follow the rules all the time. Artists like action and are often impulsive. They also like trying new things. Like Thinkers, many Artists have strong opinions. Many Artists are creative and do well as musicians, actors, fashion designers, and athletes.Key OL1: A. Ashley’s major at school. B. 1. arts; 2. business; 3. a lot; 4. too competitiveOL2: A. C; B.

Interviewer: And welcome back to the KPLX radio in Los Angeles. We’re talking this morning with Europe’s hottest singer, Yeliz. Thanks for joining us.Yeliz: Sure! Hello Los Angeles!Interviewer: So, tell us a little about yourself, Yeliz. Where are you from exactly?Yeliz: I was born in Istanbul, but I live in Scotland now. My dad’s Scottish. My mom’s Turkish.Interviewer: You’re only seventeen. What’s it like being successful at your age?Yeliz: It’s pretty exciting. I get to travel, and meet some interesting people.(B. )Interviewer: You’re touring now, but what are your plans for the future?Yeliz: After the tour, I want to take a break. Then, later this year, I plan to make a new CD.Interviewer: Do you have any advice for other young artists?Yeliz: Well, I’d say follow your dreams. Work hard, and you can be successful.Optional Listening 2If you want to become a successful businessman, you should do three things. First, you should think about your goals every day. Make plans for today, tomorrow, and next year. Second, you should join a business club. You can learn a lot from the other members, and they can give you good advice. Third, you shouldn’t work every night and every weekend. Sometimes you should take a break. You get more energy and ideas when you relax. And you need a lot of energy and ideas to make money!Optional Listening 3---Find your dreamWe all have dreams, but some people actually take their dreams come true. Their secret? They quit dreaming. And they start doing. Even a very big dream starts with small steps, and small goals. Maybe your dream is to become a doctor. Start by thinking about small goals for yourself. Ask, “What can I do today?” You can’t start medical school today, but you can send e-mails and make phone calls to get information about medical schools. Make a list of schools to call, and then call a few of them every day. What do you need for your dream? Tell friends and family members—many of them can help you. For example, you want to become an artist. You need a lot of cheap paper for drawing. Maybe your friend’s brother throws away a lot of big paper at his office. So, share your dream with the world! Another good idea is talking to people who are doing your dream job. Do you dream about having your own restaurant? Go to your favorite restaurant and ask the owner lots of questions. Most people like to talk about their work.Optional Listening 4 ---A lifetime dreamEveryone has his or her own dream jobs. Let’s listen to Yi Wang, a 29-year-old young teacher, and Hicham Nassir, who are going to talk about their dream jobs.“At the moment, I’m teaching chemistry at a university in Beijing. It’s a good job, but my dream is to make films. In China, young artists move to Beijing from all over the country. Many of them are painters, writers, and actors. I’d like to make a film about their lives and their work.” Wang is writing the film now with help from her friends. But it isn’t easy. “At the moment, the biggest problem is money,” explains Wang. “We don’t have much.” But this isn’t going to stop Wangand her partners. She says, “First, we are going to make this movie. Then, we’d like to show it in China and, maybe someday, at film festivals a round the world. ”16-year-old Hicham Nassir is a soccer player. He’s getting ready for a soccer match with his teammates. Hicham, the team’s star player, is a native of Morocco. He now lives in London with his family. “My parents want me to go to college,and major in business or law,” he explains. “They want me to become a lawyer or a successful businessman. I understand them, but I want to change their minds,” says Hicham, “I want to play soccer professionally. It’s my dream”Key: OL1: A. 1. singer; 2.

By D. ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased. You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers oftenhave positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules. There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day! 2 You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project. For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options. There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night. The next tie you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo? Bon voyage!8 Lesson B Global Viewpoints Travel Dave: Alejandra: Thallus: Julianna: page 13Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life. This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving…I think…she was serving food…and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance…and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, Catherine: Dennis: 3 the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh…9 City Living Mexico----here we come! Page 14Sun-hee: Mike: Tara: Sun-hee: This is going to be a great trip!

Unit 5, Book 2Optional Listening 1Mike: …So, we can look forward to warmer temperature. It’ll be a good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally, this story just in. … We have a report that a local man, Nick Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10 p.m. He said the lights were bright and they moved across the sky. He stopped at a gas station and talked to a police officer about the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.M: Hmmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about mysterious lights … a lot of local people have seen the lights. It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist.. What do you think, Alexa? A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax!Optional Listening 2It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?〞I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?〞I asked. “I’m fine,〞she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in. I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?〞I asked. “Oh yes,〞he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five years ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.〞Optional Listening 3A. The Tunguska mysteryIt was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find theanswer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice., and rock with long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke’s Comet was near Earth in1908, and it’s possible that a part of it broke off and hit the earth.3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun〞that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.Optional Listening 4Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights〞Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that.Q. Can you describe them?A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear.Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights〞. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so.Q. What do the experts say?A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.KeysOL1:A.从左至右：4-5-1-2-3 B. Nick Brown, police officer, local peopleOL 2:A. 1.

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. Mygrandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home!Listening 3Making memoriesA popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal ent ries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps..1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days,” “ Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,”“ Baby’s first year.”2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters--- anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Listening 4Yearbooks in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year---- a “book of memories” for the students.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”( a funny student), the “ most likely to succeed” ( a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “ best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “ We had a lot of fun,” or “ I’ll never forget you.” They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Keys:OL1: A. 2-passport; 1-diary; 3-yearbook B. 1. boyfriend 2.

Optional Listening 3Know before you go!In Bangladesh people greet their friends by shaking hands softly and then putting their hands over their heart. People in Bangladesh don’t use many gestures. Waving at people and winking are very rude. Don’t touc h people on the head. Don’t point with your foot---Bangladeshi people think feet are very dirty.Indonesians greet people with a long handshake, and they bow at the same time. At a meeting, give every person your business card, but use your right hand----using your left hand is very rude in Indonesia.In Thailand, the traditional greeting is called wai----people put their hands together and bow. Men and women don’t often touch each other in public. Thai people don’t use their hand for gestures, but they lov e to smile a lot. They sometimes laugh when they feel nervous or embarrassed.People in the United Arab Emirates have some special gestures. When two men meet, they shake hands. Sometimes old men touch noses together. Women kiss their friends on the cheek. If a man meets a woman, he doesn’t shake hands with her. He just smiles. When you give your friend something, give it to him with your right hand. Don’t use your left hand. And don’t point at peopole with your finger. Use your hand to gesture towards them. Optional Listening4World greetingsIn Brazil men often shake hands when they meet for the first time. When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.In New Zealand, usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.In Japan when people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands. In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with both hands. This is polite. Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy. or that the person thinks something is funny. But it also mean that the person is embarrassed.Keys:OL1: A. 1. waving to; 2. shaking hands; 3. crossing his fingers; 4. shruggingB. 1. wallet; 2. nervous; 3. studying for a test; 4.the theater.OL 2: B. 1.

For some people, this is a problem. They think we should slow down and enjoy life. The Slow Food movement was started to celebrate and support the local food tra ditions of the worlds. Its members don’t like fast food or instant foods because they think those foods are unhealthy.The Slow Food movement started in Europe, but now it is an international movement. There are more than 65,000 members in 45 countries. The Slow Food movement’s members think we need to slow down and appreciate delicious traditional foods. They also believe in protecting the environment. In addition, they believe in supporting local farmers and their products. Optional Listening 2Adam: I’m about 20 pounds overweight. I went on a diet. There’s only one problem: I just love buttery foods. Everyone says that I should eat less butter. It’s hard.Janet: I lived in Thailand for six months. It was really fun. I really like Thai food! It’s too spicy for some people, but not for me. I love the peppers. I came home a month ago. The food here tastes so bland--- I don’t like it anymore.Abby: My mother says that I have a “sweet tooth.” That means I like to eat sweet foods. Dessert is my favorite part of any meal. I like anything with chocolate in it!Minh: I’m training for a swimming competition. I have to eat healthy foods all the time. At first I didn’t like it, but now I do. I actually prefer healthy foods to sweet or buttery foods. And I feel better, too!Optional Listening 3Hot, hotter, hottest! Surprising facts about chile peppers.1. Chile peppers are one of the oldest food crops in the world. Farmers grew the first chile peppers more than 9,000 years ago.2. The first chile peppers probably grew in Bolivia. From there, the plant spread through South America and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus brought the first chile peppers to Europe.3. The heat in the chile comes from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin has no smell or flavor, but it mikes your mouth fee “hot.”4. Scientists believe that chile peppers are a very healthy food because they are rich in vitamins. Research shows that chiles do not damage the stomach, and Indian scientists discovered that eating chiles can help people lose weight.5. Indian food is well-known for using lots of chile peppers, but Thai food spicier. The average person in Thailand eats five grams of chile pepper everyday---the most in the world.6. The Aztec Indians of Mexico loved chile peppers so much that they gave them to their king as a gift.7. The hottest chile pepper in the world is the habanero. It is bright orange and grows in the Caribbean.8. There are chile sauce factories on every continent except Antarctica. Optional Listening 4In many countries of the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, theOkinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world.Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and town birth records from 1879. They didn’t expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy people living in Okinawa. The United States, for example, has 10 centenarians per 100,1000 people. In Okinawa there are 34 centenarians per 100,100 people!What is the Okinawans’ secret? First, they eat a healthy diet. They eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. They also eat fish often and drink a lot of water and green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthy habits as well. They don’t do hard exercise such as weightlifting orjogging--- instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking.Researchers say that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging.They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercised. They also enjoy massage.Keys:OL1: A. We should support and celebrate local food tradition; B. 1. fast;2.life;3. farmers;4. Europe;5. members.OL2: A.

I’m a salesclerk in a woman’s clothing store. My boss is great, but she has a very strict dress code. We have to wear long skirts, black shoes, no jewelry, and on and on. It’s really boring, so I’m planning to dye my hair red. What do you think?2. I love my girlfriend, but she complains a lot about my clothes.

A business wants to have a particular look, so they tell you what to wear. If you want to show off your individual style, you had better do it in your free time.2.

In my opinion, she thinks too much about appearances.Optional Listening 4Today I started my new part-time job as a trendspotter. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Well, guess what? It was a lot of fun! I’m telling all my friends, “You should think about becoming a trendspotter, too”On Saturday morning, we had to report to a recording studio by 10 a.m. The “Trends Coordinator,” Mandy, explained the schedule. Then sh e gave us a tour. That was really cool!Next we sat around a big table in a room. They gave each person three cards. One card said “Yes—All the way!” Another said, “It’s OK.” The third one said, “No way!” We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song we had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop, rock, heavy metal; and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me.Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? They’re really popular right now. Well, they have a new CD coming out. We saw six different CD covers. (I guess they are trying to choose one.) This time, we didn’t have cards. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions, “Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?”We finished at 12:30. We will meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh yes, we also received a free CD for our tour.

It’ll be a good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally, this story just in. … We have a report that a local man, Nick Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10 p.m. He said the lightswere bright and they moved across the sky. He stopped at a gas station and talked to a police officer about the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.M: Hmmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about mysteriousligh ts … a lot of local people have seen the lights. It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist.. What do you think, Alexa?A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax!Optional Listening 2It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?” I asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in.I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?” I asked. “Ohyes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five yea rs ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”Optional Listening 3A. The Tunguska mysteryIt was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice., and rock with long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke’s Comet was near Earth in1908, and it’s possible that a part of it broke off and hit the earth.3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.Optional Listening 4Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that. Q. Can you describe them?A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear. Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so.Q. What do the experts say?A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights. KeysOL1: A. 从左至右：4-5-1-2-3 B. Nick Brown, police officer, local peopleOL 2:A. 1.

The house was painted pink, a very rare color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, either round or rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I was thinking there must be a big living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house. I was wondering whose house this was when I suddenly heard a voice from somewhere: “My lord, welcome home.” Wow, this was my dream house.。

Book1-Unit 5Optional Listening 1Toshi: Hi, Isabel. How are you?Isabel: Okay, Toshi… well, actually, I’m missing Spain today-especially the food.Toshi: You’re from Madrid, right?Isabel: Not exactly. I go to school in Madrid.Toshi: Oh, where do you live, then?Isabel: Getafe. It’s small suburb near Madrid.Toshi: I don’t know it.Isabel: Well, only about 150,000 people live there. It’s kind of boring. But it’s very affordable. Toshi: That’s good. The city I’m from is very expensive. You’r e lucky.Isabel: Yes, but we have a problem: the traffic. Sometimes I drive to school and the traffic is terrible.Optional Listening 2Singapore is a great city for a vacation. There are a lot of interesting things to see. You can visit Chinatown and little India, and go shopping on Orchard Road. Singapore also has many good restaurants. There are some great beaches for swimming near the city, and the parks are really beautiful. The city has very good public transportation---- you can take a bus, tr ain, or subway. It’s a safe city, and there isn’t much crime. It’s also a clean city. There isn’t much pollution. The only problem is that Singapore is expensive. The population of Singapore is approximately 4.84 million. With a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences and a tropical climate, tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.Optional Listening 3Choosing a cityIstanbul is a very unusual city—one part is in Europe, and the other part is in Asia. About 9 million people live there. Visitors love Istanbul because it has many beautiful, old buildings, and the food is great. At night, the seafood restaurants are very popular. And everything in Istanbul is very affordable for visitors. Traffic is a problem in the city, because there are too many cars for the old streets. There are also subways, trains, and buses, and some people take boats to go between the Europe side and the Asian side. The weather is very good in summer, but in winter it’s sometimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution. Two bad points--- prices there are very high, and the weather is not very good. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy day, and in the evening, the city has great restaurants and nightclubs to visit.Optional Listening 4Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two o f the cities listed as “the world best.” San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other ci ties in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15oc/60 o F to 26oc/79oF). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why live in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city---once a small fishing village--- is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and East, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples.Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There’s also food from Europe, North Ame rica,and other parts of Asia. Minuses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.Keys:OL1: A. 1. Getafe; 2. Madrid.

It has a bed, a desk, and small closet. We share a bathroom and a computer in the living room. I can also use the kitchen or watch TV in the living room.Living with an American family is interesting. On the first day here, Patricia showed me the house and my room. She said, "Make yourself at home." At first, I didn’t understand, but now I do. The apartment is like my apartment. I usually make breakfast for myself. I do my own laundry. I clean my own room. Patricia is my host mother, but she’s like a friend or a roommate. But, there are rules. It’s OK for my friends to visit, but only on the weekend. Jason’s friends come to the apartment on the weekend. They hang out in his room and listen to music or watch videos. Sometimes my friends from school have dinner with my family.Optional Listening 4The Guitar HouseIn Fayetteville, Georgia, there is a house that is shaped like a guitar. It was built by a song-writer and country music lover, Elvis L. Carden, in the 1970s.It’s right on the road and is brown. It’s not that strange, when you look at it from ground level. You probably would really noti ce it just driving by. In fact, you can’t really tell what it is from the street. But if you stop and look, the roof has a very slight slant, and then you can tell.It’s basically a modified ranch house with a long narrow walkway or hallway leading to th e garage, thus the guitar shape. It has a flat roof with the electrical wires running along the top to mimic guitar strings.The Shoe HouseHellam is a small town in south-central Pennsylvania. In this town, there is a shoe house. The house was built in 1948 by shoe magnate Mahlon N. Haines to advertise his business.The shoe House is a wood-framed house, which is 48 feet long and 17 feet wide at its widest point. It is a replica of high-top work boot. Besides a sole, heel, and toe, this shoe house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.Originally, Haines used Shoes House as a guesthouse. He invented elderly couples to spend the weekend and live like “kings and queens” at his expense. He also let honeymooners stay there for free, as long as they came from a town that they had a Haines shoe store.After Haines passed away, the Shoe House was sold. Now it has been turned into an ice cream parlor and is open to tourists.Keys:OL1: A. housing; B. C C.

Instead, they used home remedies—medicine made from things from home. Today, many people like to use home remedies because they are cheap and easy to use. Here are some old home remedies from the United States.When you have sleeping problems.·Don’t eat dinner lat at night. Have a small, light dinner early in the evening.·Eat lettuce for dinner.

In eight months, I’m going to take the university entrance exam. To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do, Donna?Donna: Your problem is a common one for many students around the world. Here are some tips to help you. First, don’t do too much. Make a study schedule for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night, because we often forget information studied then. Second, take breaks and relax. You learn best when you study in two-hour blocks. Every two hours, take a break for 15 to 20 minutes. Go outside and walk. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. It can also improve memory and help you sleep better t night. Third, eat well. Don’t eat or drink a lot of sugar and caffeine. Eat food high in vitamin B, for example, eggs, yogurt, green vegetables, tofu, and rice. These give you energy and help you think more clearly. Finally, get a study partner. A study partner can help you practice fro the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too.Key:OL1: A. 1.

Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactl}: true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things }-ou can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time tolearn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranchand learn how r.o ride a horse. You can prer,end to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard bLit satisfying work. Youcan "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours forwomen only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are lookingfor romance. ()ne company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing duringthe day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The nexr. tie you take a trip some\\ here, xx hy don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Track 3-1-6B.

They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my handsto explain myself. People understood xvhat I meant and they helped me out.My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my secondtrip to Tanzania, Africa.

So, even2 2S新世纪入学英语视听说教程3听力原义Dennis:traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where xve were going to go. We didn't reallyknow the xillage names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

She studies hard, "Of course, I came here for the academics, she says. "But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk arormd sometimes just to relax."Alejandro Vega, a banker in Nevr York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "Inever get bored. The park is so big. I can alu-ays find a different path with a new view."Niagara I;alls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "The footpaths allowyou to get a wonderful viexv. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your fac.e."What do these three places-- - - Stanford University, Central Park, and Ixiagara Falls Sr.ate Park- - --all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederic:k Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been called the "father of landscape architecture,"In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some communitv leaders becameworried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in Neu York City. Olmsted and his partner, Cavert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---- the first landscaped public park in theUnited States. Today, no trip to Nexv York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. Inthe late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. VIembers of the movement wanted to preservethe beauty of Niagara I;alls. Despite opposition and pressures from bLisiness to industrialize the area, Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to gix-e visitors better views of the falls. In allhis work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls StatePark, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that sax. "I\o Littering," but there is still a lot oftrash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Frederick J.aw Olmsted say to allthis?Track 3-2-6C, Listen again.

新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册答案Uint 1II. Basic Listening Practice1. ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet? Are you taking French writing again?M: Yes I am, but it’s compulsory for us next semester. So I think I’m gong to do marketing as an elective instead.Q: Which class will the man choose as his elective?2. ScriptM: Did you go to that business strategy lecture on Friday? I missed it and need to copy your notes.W: I’d say you could borrow my notes, but Sarah’s got them. Be careful not to miss Professor Brown’s seminar; he takes attendance in that.Q: What is the woman telling the man?3. ScriptW: Wow, Steven! In the library! What brings you here?M: I’m enjoying the view. All the girls in fashion design are here are preparing for an exam on Monday.Q: Why is the man in the library?4. ScriptW: How’s your group doing with this statistics presentation? Mine’s terrible.M: Yeah, mine too. David and Mike are OK, but Steven doesn’t pull his weight and Suzie’s never around. I don’t see how we can pass unless Steven and Suzie realize that this is their last chance.Q: What is the true of Steven and Suzie?5. ScriptW: You took an MBA at Harvard Business School, didn’t you? What’s it like?M: It’s expensive, about U.S. $ 40,000 a year, plus the costs of food and housing. But the teaching is first class. The professors have a lot of practical experience. They use the case system of teaching; that is, you study how actual businesses grew or failed.Q: Why is he MBA teaching in Harvard Business School first class, according to the conversation?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3.B 4.D 5.AIII. Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I’m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you’ve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop. Jenny: What’s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I’ve heard he is really good. Harrison: He’s good if you’re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that’s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You’re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don’t have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar. Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went o ver her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: How to select elecive courses?ScriptConsider these tis on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best. To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit og extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you will never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world.Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in scince along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a betterrl understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a differnt way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Y ou’re just going to have study hardNora: Only our first day back at school, and already I feel like I’ve learned a lot. Chris: Only our first day back at school, and I already feel like I’m up to my ears in homework.Nora: You’re going to have to hit the books if you want to keep your grades up. Chris:Tell me about it! I already have two reports, two books reports, a composition, an oral report, and a research project—all due before midterms.Nora: We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit would ruboff on you.Chris: Better yet, maybe you could do my homework for me.Nora: Forget it! That would be cheating.Chris: All right, all right. I have yet to write a term paper. Can you recommend any articles and books? You’d better find me the exact pages where I can find whatI want.Nora: You could borrow ideas from references, but if you quote without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing.Chris: The quiz next week will be a headache. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to prepare some study sheets and hide them in my hand when I take the test. Nora: Oh, no! If you’re caught, the professor will definitely give you an F. Probably, you will have to repeat the year.Chris: All right, I’ll take your advice. The library is going to be my new home, and in the dorm I’ll be burning the midnight oil.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: We’re going to have a test, and I also have a term paper to finish. But I haven’t done a thing. I’m really worried now.B: You’re going to have to have to hit the books if you want to get good grades.A: But this course is so difficult that I already don’t understand it at all.B: We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit can help you. A: Better yet, maybe you could write a term paper for me.B: Forget it! That would be cheating.A:All right, all right. I have yet to write it myself. Maybe I can download some articles from the Internet and piece them together.B: You could borrow ideas from those articles, but if you quote without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing.A:Also, the test next week will be a headache. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to prepare a cheat-sheet and hide it in my hand during the test.B: Oh, no! If you’re caught, the professor will definitely give you an F.A: I’ll try to be careful.B: But if the professor catches you, you’ll have to repeat the year. You’re just going to have to study hard.A: Ok, I’ll take your advice. The library’s going to be my new home, and in the dorm I’ll be burning the midnight oil.MODEL2 Which class do you prefer?ScriptChris:First period is math with Mr. Woods. I don’t know how am I going to stay awake?Nora: I like Mr. Wood. He’s interesting.Chris: He’s boring! He could put the entire basketball team to sleep—during the championship game! Who do you have for economics?Nora: Mrs. Jenkins. She’s smart. Students really learn a lot from her.Chris: She’s tough! You have to work hard in her class, or you’ll probably fail. Nora:No pain, no gain.Chris: Nonsense, You could have learned even more with Mr. Sharp. But not many students opt for his class.Nora:What’s wrong with him?Chris: Often, the highest grade he gives on a term paper is C+, and he usually fails half of the students.Nora:No wonder he’s got the nickname Mr. Shark. Well, how about PE? What are you doing this semester?Chris: That’s the worst part. In PE, we’re learning t’ai chi. I’m bored to death. Nora: Ha-ha! Not to rub salt into the wound, but our class is playing your favorite sport: basketball.Chris: Oh…that figures! This is going to be a terrible semester.Nora: This is going to be a great semester!Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: The history class is really boring. How am I going to stay awake?B:I like the history teacher. She’s knowledgeable. She told us a lot of interesting historical events in class.A: Bur I find her boring! She could put the entire basketball team to sleep—during the championship game! Which class do you find dull?B: I hate the economics course. The teacher always talks above my head. So I’ve lost interest in the course.A: Bur economic is my favorite. The professor is smart. Most students really learn a lot from him.B:But he’s tough! He expects a lot. You have to work hard in his class, or you’ll probably fail.A: No pain, no gain.B: Actually not many students opt for his class.A: What’s wrong with him?B: Often the highest grade he gives on a term paper is B-. Last seme4stwe he failed more than a third of the students and I was one of them.A: Oh, that’s too bad.B: Well, how do you find your English teacher? I don’t think much of her, either.A: I find her kind, always willing to answer my questions; she always gives me high marks.B:You’re rubbing salt into my wound. She failed me last semester.MODEL3 Publish or perishScriptChris: Tell us, Professor Grant, What are your primary duties as a professor?Professor Grant: Well,I do a lot of research and writing.It’s rough being an associate professor. It’s publish or perish.Chris: So you spent a lot of time in your office?Professor Grant:Yes, but I also have to prepare class motes, give lectures, hold office hours. Teaching is an important part of being a professor. Chris: With all those responsibilities, you must make a lot of money. Professor Grant: I wish. Actually, I spend a lot of tome applying foe grants to fund my research. Then I can offer assistantships and scholarships tothe worthy graduate.Chris: I see why they call you “the boss”. But being a professor sounds pretty competitive.Professor Grant: Actually, I think you were in one of my classes…Chris: Um….I think you’re mistaken, Professor Grant!Professor Grant: No, I remember very clearly now! You owe me an essay!Chris: Sorry, I have too much work to do for the Student Union Newsletter, and I have to work two jobs to pay for school.Professor Grant:So you get an F in this course.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Professor Smith, I’m from the Student Union newspaper. Many students want toknow a western professor’s main duties and compare them with a Chinese professor’s duties.B: Well, I do a lot of research and writing. It’s tough to be a professor.A: Chinese professor are also facing increasing pressure, as they are required to do more research than before. Professor Smith, do you spend al lot of time on teaching?B: Yes, I have to prepare class notes, give lectures, host seminar, and hold office hours. In fact, teaching is an important part of being a professor, though some professors believe that research is more important than teaching.A: With all those responsibilities, you must make a lot of money, I suppose.B: I wish. Salary is a sensitive topic in the west. Let me say something about research funds. Actually I spend a lot of time applying for grants to fund my research.A: How are you going to use the grants?B:With that money, I can offer assistantships and scholarship to graduate students who can help with my research project.A: Now I see why they call you “boss”. But being a professor sounds pretty competitive.B: That’s true. A lot of young teachers want to be promoted to a professorship.A: What you said has given us a fairly clear picture of a western professor’s primary responsibilities. Thank you very much for your time.B:You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkScript and keyInterviewee: It's a really difficult balance to strike, actually maintaining the quality but making sure as many young people as possible and older people aswell--there's been a surge in the number of over 25s aplying, and we takemany people who are over 25. But we've got to get that balance right. It'sgoing to be terribly difficult for us next year.Hostess: Given the cuts that the government announced a couple of weeks ago, and the numbers that we know in terms of application, where are you goingto draw that line? Are you going to have to look at cutting intake in orderto maintain the quality of the courses?Interviewee: We're trying not to cut the intake at the moment. But what it means is we are going to have to be extra-cautious in the number of offers we make,because we simply cannot afford to go over our quota of the number ofplaces that we can offer. Because if we do, it means that we could befined, or we just simply haven't got enough money to make sure thestudents' experience is right. So it means that maybe last year we wouldallow a few more people to have an offer. This year is going to betougher.Hostess: Do you lay some of the blame for the situation at the door of the government?Interviewee: If you look to France,Sarkozy is actually increasing the budget for higher education. Obama in the U.S. has done the same thing. So we are justslightly puzzled as to why the government seems to be cutting back onhigher education rather than pumping more money into what we think isa service that is absolutely vital for the economy.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems with our educational systemScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational Syste m”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students”are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.Problems ResultsKids lose interest in learning. Educators just want to give standardizedtests. They only focus on academicperformance but neglect students’abilities and interests in other areas.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak”students are separated from therest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.Task 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A”so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn’t have a spare, and couldn’t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “Th is is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners. During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group. Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1001. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.1.What is main idea of the passage?2.How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?3.What was the ralationship between Harvard University and religion during itsearly years?4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey’sfund-raising program?5.What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DViewing and speakingUniversity budget cutsScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins us from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime, Mr. Lammy. How do thesecuts... tie in with your much trumpted commitment to increasing highereducation?Interviewee: Well, I think it's important to remind views that we will speng well over12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to say that there willbe more students at university next year than ever before in our history.But what is important is that when they get to university, is that theyhave good facilities, good buildings, that they have good contact withtheir lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that theyreceive a grant. And you know 40% of students who are going touniversity are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan...Host: But there's going to be less money next year. That's the bottom line, isn't it?Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant. That's 51 million out of a total budget of over 5 billion. Look, Ithink there are families across the country preparing for Christmasspending a lit less and they are, you know, it's a lot more than onepercent that they're, they're feeling. So I think this is reasonable to askuniversities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more youngpeople to university and we remain committed to that.Host: And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn't it?Interviewee: Well, we, we, we... It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic 18-to-21-year-old undergraduates. Wewant mature students. We want more parttime students and over the lastfew years we've been growing the number of foundation degree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into high university and highlevel skills. That's what we want to support and that's what we areindicating in the grant letter that we've sent to universities over the lastfew days.Host: OK. David Lammy, thank you so much for joining us.Interviewee: Thank you.Uint 3Culture makes me what I amII.

Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to compete from early childhood.When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, theycompete with one another in their studies.Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nat ions? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan:I do like sports.

They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something w rong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say.

It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their (S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial。

We got to see the Ueno Castle—an amazing, amazing place! It was built before Bashō was born, so it’s something he would have seen, too. It, it gave, it gave me some real insights into 17thcentury Japan. But getting back to our topic, haikai poems are groups of verses, verses or paragraphs, you could say, all linked together. They were more like the poems of Shakespeare, for example—fairly long, they were fairly long and with a set formula, or structure. The short haiku form developed from the ... from the first verse of the haikai, and Bashō had enough haiku published to get pretty famous. He soon had his own writing school in Edo, now called Old Tokyo, and that became known as the Bashō School.
Student 1: I have a question. Professor: Great. Student 1: You mentioned a form of, um, writing called haibun.
