Many restaurants, in particular the great chain restaurant company, McDonald's, specialize in "fast food蔦food which is served at the counter ready H to go”，or H to take out n. The food, cooked and hot, is packed into cardboard and plastic containers, and hot drinks go into plastic cups with tight-fitting lids. There are also drive-in fast-food restaurants, where customers do not have to leave their cars. They first stop at a board where the menu is displayed, give an order through a microphone and then drive another twenty yards, where a girl hands them the meal ready cooked and packed・ People who prefer to eat at a table in the restaurant also receive their food in cardboard or plastic containers, and the knives, forks and spoons are plastic, too. When they have finished, customers throw everything except the tray into a trash can.Part BIn most cities, large and small, you can eat Mexican or Italian food. And even small towns have coffee shops serving simple meals, drinks of all kinds, and excellent, freshly made coffee. You sit at the counter, or are served at a table. Service in restaurants and coffee shops is efficient and friendly. Waiters and waitresses often introduce themselves, H Hi! Em Don (or Debbie). What can I get you folks?” This friendliness is natural and not entirely influenced by the hope of a high tip. In any case, people usually tip 15 percent of the check. One of the most pleasant things about waiters and waitresses is that they refill your coffee cup several times for no extra charge.Listening IIIScript:1.The big baker bakes black bread.2."The bun is better buttered," Bill muttered.3.CheryPs cheap chip shop sells cheap chips.4.You can have:Fried fresh fish,Fish fried fresh,Fresh fried fish,Fresh fish fried.Or fish fresh fried.5.All I want is a proper cup of coffeeMade in a proper coffee pot.You can believe it or not一I want a cup of coffeeIn a proper coffee pot.Tin coffee pots orIron coffeepots.TheyTe no use to me.If I can't have aProper cup of coffeeIn a proper copper coffeepot、PH have a cup of tea.Listening IV1.

Are you ready?Ellen: Okay, Fm ready•Dan: Question 1: Where did chilies come from originally?Ellen: Easy! They came from Mexico.Dan: That's right. It came from Mexico and Central America 900 years ago. Question 2: Who brought chilies to Spain in 1493?Ellen: Ell make a guess…Christopher Columbus?Dan: Well done. Question 3: What other foods did Columbus bring from Mexico to Spain?Ellen: I have no idea. Uh, maybe corn... or sweet potato?Dan: Well done. Yes, com, sweet potato and pineapple. Question 4: Do chilies make you fat?Ellen: Impossible! They are very hot and you can't eat many.Dan: Actually, eating chilies makes some people eat more food. They don't realize their stomach is already full. And the last question: Are chilies good for athletes? Ellen: I have no idea. Fll say FolDan: Wrong! A study has found that if you eat chilies before exercise, you'll perform better because you burn carbohydrates better.Part 2 Viewing, understanding and speaking1.

Good evening, madam.James: Good evening. Give a table for four, please.Waitress: Certainly. Would you like to sit by the window or further back?James: By the window, please. I think it's much quieter.Waitress: Sure. This way, please.All: Thank you.(The waitress shows the customers to a table by the window.)• • •Waitress: Is this all right?All: All right.

Is there anything particular that anyone does not want to eat?Laura: Well, yea, I don f t eat lamb. My family influenced me. My parents never eat lamb. They think it smells. So I don't eat it either. I don't even know how lamb tastes like. Maybe it doesn't taste so bad, but we won f t just try it.Charlie: Oh, I see. I thought that had something to do with religious beliefs.Laura: Oh, no, not in my case. But you know religion plays an important role in people's choice of food. For example, Muslims dorft eat pork.Charlie: Yeah, and in China devout Buddhists think its sinful to eat animals. James: Oh, Charlie, I almost forgot. You just got back from China. What was the food like in Sichuan where you were working?Charlie: It's very spicy. People in Sichuan won't eat food without chilies and hot peppers-Lisa: Do you like spicy foods?bit of it. Then gradually I got used to it and realized its quite good, and now I like it. Janies: Lisa, you were in China for several years- Which part were you in? Lisa: The southeast part.Charlie: I heard people there are brought up on sweet, not so spicy food. Is that so? Lisa: Yes, everything fixed there is sweet. People even add sugar to meat.James: That sounds interesting. Were you worried about putting on weight when you were there? Some women, in order to keep their figures slim, do not eat sweet food even though they like chocolate and desserts very much.Lisa: No, I actually love eating sweet food. I don't care whether its fattening or not. For me, taste is more important than my figure.Laura: Yeah. Sometimes, people's likes and dislikes of foods are related to one's opinions about health and nutrition. For instance, some people like rich food, while others prefer vegetables, green food and salads.James: Sure, and nowadays with the development of sciences, people know more about food. Something that used to be thought of as disgusting now seems deliciousand nutritious.Charlie: I think its also related to the cultures and traditions of the country. The Chinese people like food with…that smells good, tastes good, looks good. Oh, they also like food to have a pleasant and nice sounding name.(The waitress comes again.)Waitress: Excuse me. Are you ready to order?James: Yes. Erm...can I get the 24-ounce porterhouse? Can I get that done medium rare, please?Waitress: Certainly.Janies: And can I just get a Miller Light to go with that?Waitress: Miller Light.

Can I have potatos?Dr> Young: No, potatos are also fattening food.Simon: Oh, boy! Its going to be a long six weeks!Listening III1TFTFTT2foreign owners / foreign food / aware / very good / time/ effort / slower / a hurry / shopping and sightseeingScript:Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food・When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that sometimes it is terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food 一we eat to live; we do not live to eat. So we don't generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating. You can find the best English food in the country away from the large towns, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of food, so why should they complain about it?Listening IV1.CDE2.Television / Meat and potatoes / Sugar-filled biscuits, cakes and chips / Becausechemicals make the hamburgers look good. / One can remain healthy withoutmeat.Script:All right! Enough biscuits, cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy, and other processed food, and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye the sailor, who ate spinach and not chips. Just because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, I don*t expect my children to eat this "health food11. Fm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hotdogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled biscuits and cake, and, of course, chips. Terrible! I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and Fm sure that it's because Fm vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food・。

大学英语听力2答案

大学英语听力2答案【篇一：全新版大学英语(第二版)听说教程2听力原文】 class=txt>unit 1 sportspart a]listening strategyidentifying numbersnumbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. the ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in english is an important but difficult skill for a chinese learner. a good way isto practice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. it also helps to practice writing down the numbers you hear quickly in numerical forms,without translating them into chinese. youre going to hear a passage about michael jordan, a retired american professional basketball player.listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers. michael jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. he was born on feb.17, 1963, in brooklyn, new york. he is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. jordan joined the chicago bulls team for the 1984 season. in the 1986 season he shot3041 points, the third highest score ever. he was named nba slam dunk champion(扣篮冠军)in 1987 and won the most valuable player award in 1988, an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998. jordan guided his team to win sixnba championships during the 1990s, scoring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 nba finals. in 1999, he was named the greatest north american athlete of the 20th century. jordan left the nba at the beginning of the 1993-1994 nbaseason to pursue a career in baseball. since his baseball game wasnt quite as good as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the bulls in 1995. yet, after playing for five more years, he once again announced his retirement in 1999. but he returned for two more nba games in 2001 as a member of the washington wizards.[ti:unit 1 part b]listening tasksa conversationwhy dont you join me at the gym sometime?exercise 1listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.peter: hi laura. where are you heading with that big bag?laura: hi, peter. im off to the gym. ive got to stay in shape, you know. i try to go three times a week, but im busy so i cant always make it.peter: i know more women who work out than men. whats the main reason you work out? for your health, or to look good?laura: to be honest, for both. with women, good looks are always a very important consideration. peter: if they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.laura: how about you? do you get any regular exercise?peter: i do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but i never go to the gym like you do.laura: well, walking is good exercise. how about sports? peter: not since my school days. i used to love playing baseball, but its impossible to get enough people together for a game now. mostly i just watch sports on tv.laura: i play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.peter: oh, i forgot about that. i go cycling sometimes too. and i often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.laura: why dont you join me at the gym sometime? i can get you a guest pass.peter: well, maybe someday, but im pretty lazy about things like that.questions1. what do you know about peter?2. where might the two speakers be having this conversation? speaking taskspair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1a: whats your plan for this evening?b: well, theres a good game at the stadium but i havent got a ticket yet.a: im going to the gym. would you like to come along?

kate: that would be great. do you have any particular place in mind?peter: well, i think id like to eat something thats not too heavy. ive been eating a little too much lately.kate: me too.peter: i love italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. they always seem to serve so much food in italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to. kate: chinese food would be good.peter: yes, or maybe some japanese sushi. that style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.kate: yes, either of those choices would be good. lets just meet on saturday night, and decide then where to eat.peter: thats fine by me.speaking taskspair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1(at the school canteen)a: what a crowd!b: this is the worst time. the morning classes are just over. everybody is hungry and rushes here to have lunch.a: thats true. im starving and i cant wait. id rather not stand in a long line.b: why dont we have some fried noodles?a: noodles are sold at no. 2 box. no queue there, you see.b: thats great.(at no. 2 box)counter hand: what can i get you?a: one plate of fried noodles, please.b: make it two.counter hand: ok. two plates of fried noodles. anything else?

Unit 6 What’s in a Name?新视野大学英语听说教程第二版第2册1. M: That was really something! What do you remember most about the play we watched?W: I remember an actor asking “What’s in a name?” It made me think about my own name and its meaning.Q: What does the woman remember about the play?2. W: What do you think the writer of the play meant when he asked “What’s in a name?”M: I think that he was questioning the importance of names, that is, how they affect our lives. Q: Why did the writer ask the question?3. M: There’s something I don’t understand. Please tell me again why you changed your name. W: I wanted a name that would sound more elegant than the one my parents gave me.Q: Why did the woman change her name?4. M: My English teacher discouraged us from using our Chinese names in class.W: That’s not fair! I’m proud of my own name, and I’m not going to use another!Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to use another name?5. W: In Sociology class, I learned that in many different cultures, names say a lot about people. M: I heard the same thing in Psychology class. Names can have a great influence on a person’s identity.Q: According to the man, how do names affect people?6. W: I’ve heard that the judging people by their names is superficial.M: I couldn't agree more. There are much better ways of judging people.Q: How does the man feel about judging people by their names?7. M: Y our name is very impressive! It sounds beautiful! Lucky you!W: Not really. I never thought that my name correctly expressed who I really am as a person. Q: What is the woman’s impression of her name?8. W: If our child is a boy, I think we should give him your name. What do you think?M: Let’s not. I don’t agree with parents doing that. Naming a child after a parent seems uncreative.Q: Why would n’t the man like to name his son after himself?9. M: I always thought my name was unique, but this book says 17% of babies born in the sameyear as me had the same first name.W: But it also says only 50 of those 600,000 babies also had the same middle name.Q: How many people, born in the same year as the man, were given the same first and middle names?10. W: If we name our son after someone in the Bible, maybe he’ll become more religious.M: I doubt it. My brother has a name from the Bible, and he isn’t at all religious. I think we should think more about this.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?LONGW: There sure is a lot of pressure on Chinese to take a foreign name, don’t you agree?M: I’m not sure. Many people don’t use foreign names even when they go abroad or meet foreigners. Take our leaders, for example.W: Y es, but many internationally famous actors, writers and artists do. Some of them feel they won’t be successful abroad if they use their Chinese names.M: What does it matter? What’s in a name, anyway?W: Names are important, and I feel people are turning their backs on their culture when they takea foreign name.M: I don't think so. Names to me are superficial things. I use a foreign name in my English class just for the sake of convenience. When speaking to people in another language, it’s simpler to use a name that belongs to that language.W: Maybe you’re right, but I still feel the way I do. Using a foreign name doesn’t seem right to me.1.How does the woman feel about Chinese taking foreign names?2.What are people doing when they take foreign names according to the woman?3.What does the man think of names?4.When does the man use a foreign name?5.What does the woman decide in the end?PASSI’m going to change my name tomorrow. Does this sound odd? Let me explain. Since I was a baby, my name has been a label that has identified me as I grew. However, I have changed a lot. Most of all, my ideas on life have developed. By the time I become an adult, I was clearly not the same person I was as a baby. So why should my name be the same? I’ve decided to change it to reflect my changes as a person. Some people tell me they don't approve of this plan. They think I am disrespecting my parents, who named me. But I’ve spoken with my parents, and they agree with me. Keeping the same name throughout life is nonsense. The only real problem for me is that it will take people a long time to get used to my new name.1.What does the speaker plan to do tomorrow?2.What does the speaker say has changed about her the most?3.Why don’t some people agree with her plan?4.What do her parents think of her plan?5.What problem does the speaker anticipate after changing her name?。

Janet ：No. What’s happening?Kate ：There’s a practice race to help choose who will row in the college team. Mark reallywants a place on the team, so he has to row well today. And I’m going to watch.Janet ：Well, I’d like to, but I have an essay to finish.Kate ：That’s too bad! I know how you feel. Janet ：Maybe I can come later?Kate ：Sure. I’m thinking of having lunch in the boathouse bar, and then watching the rowing all afternoon.Janet ：How do I get to the boathouse?Kate ：It’s easy. Can you see where we are on the map? Here, look!Janet ：OK, which way round are we standing? … Yes, got it!Kate ：OK, go down Catte Street, and turn right into the High Street. Go along the High Street and turn left into St Aldates. Walk along St Aldates, past Christ Church College until youget to Folly Bridge.Janet ：I see.Kate ：Then when you get to the bridge, cross over the river … turn left and walk along the river bank. Keep going along the river … And you’re there! The boathouses are on the right, and the Hertford College Boathouse is the last one along. You can’t miss it.Janet ：Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing the rowing.Kate ：No problem. We shouldn’t miss the rowing –it’s a great university tradition!Janet ：I know, Mark was telling me.Kate ：Like the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge universities every year.Janet ：Of course! The great rivals!Kate ：The Boat Race has been going for years, maybe nearly 200 years.Janet ：And Oxford won it this year!Kate ：Yes, but Cambridge was very close behind. Anyway see you later, down by the river.Janet ：Bye.Conversation2Kate ：So the rules are … the boats follow each other and the one behind has to bump the one in front … just like that one has done.Janet ：Is that Mark’s boat?Kate ：Yes! Look, his boat is about to bump the one in front! Well done!…Mark ：Hi you guys!Kate ：Fantastic, Mark. You were amazing!Mark ：Well, we won the practice race, but I’m worried about getting a place on the team. The problem is that there are at least three other people on the team who have rowed before. And I can’t help thinking that they were better than me. Janet ：Don’t worry, Mark. Everything will be OK. Mark ：And then I hurt my knee getting into the boat.Janet ：Oh, I’m so sorry!Kate ：T oo bad, but it’s only a scratch. Listen up, Janet is right. No need to get nervous, Mark. You were the strongest looking guy in the boat today. Chill out!Mark ：Hey, they’re putting the team list on the door.Janet ：Let’s go over and see.Mark ：No, you go! I can’t bear to look!Kate ：OK.…Kate ：Hey, Mark, great news! You got a place on the college team!Janet ：Congratulations!Kate ：That’s great, Mark, you deserve it. You trained so hard.Mark ：I can’t believe it!Outside viewInterviewer ：OK then Graham, I wonder if first off you could explain a little bit of the history of Tae Kwon Do.Teacher ：T ae Kwon Do originated er … about 3,000 years ago in Korea. It’s in thepresent form we train and teach now is formulated in 1955 by a Korean general. He was asked to put aself-defence together for the Korean army. This is how we teach it now, but it’s got origins going back thousands of years throughout Asia and of course obviously throughout Korea. So how does it, I mean, how does it differ to, say, other martial arts? Tae Kwon Do is basically the hand and foot martial art. It’s a self-defence martial art as I said, originated for the Korean martial art for the army. It’s legs and hands, T ae means to kick, Kwon means to punch and Do means a way, or method. OK. So I can see over your shoulder there how it’s a pretty popular class, what kind of mixture of people do you get coming along? Luckily we get all sorts, that’s the aim of the class, it’s open to everyone, we take any flexibility level, any age, any fitness level,and we guarantee to improve flexibility and fitness and also have a good time. We’re also teaching a traditional martia l art as well, so it’s a fun aspect but with tradition mixed in as well.So how long have you been in this sport yourself? Six years,and I’m a second Dan instructor now. What got you into it in the first place? I’ve always wanted to do martial art, I lacked a little bit of self-confidence I must admit, and my wife’s uncle was a black belt and I went along and watched, and thought, yeah I could do that. You know, I had no experience of it at all, and I’ve never looked back. So what do you think people in general get out of it? Well hopefully, it’s fun, as well as learning something. As I said it’s a traditional martial art as well, so we teach tradition in our line work, in our patterns … go back thousands of years, also the fun aspects, as I said fitness, flexibility, making new friends, gettingout, beating the stresses of everyday, daily life. I mean there’s nothing better than coming into a class and smacking a pad, you know, releasing the stresses of daily life, so hopefully they get quite a bit out of it.Interviewer OK, two things actually, whereabouts do you hold your classes and if peoplewere interested in taking up how would they go about finding out?Teacher OK, the Bytomic group, they run 26 T ae Kwon Do classes in around the southeast. Theeasiest way of finding out is look on the website which is www. or alternatively you can ring the office which is 01844 281 888. All the information is on the website or speak to the office. Local clubs are Long Crendon here on a Tuesday and Thursday, Aylesbury on Sundays and Tuesdays and Princes Risborough on a Monday and a Wednesday evening. Interviewer OK, well thank you very much for your time Graham, cheers very much, very interesting, we’ll give it a go.Teacher Thank you very much for your day. Anytime Chris, come along, for a free lesson! Listening inPassage1Speaker 1And David Seaman is in goal for the England team down to our right … it’s difficult to get used to the change of team colours here … I’m looking at th e white shorts and thinking they’re English players, but they’re not. For this match it’s the Germans who are wearing white. I hope the English players don’t have the same problem, we don’t want them to pass the ball to the Germans. Now Gascoigne for Engla nd passes to McManaman for the first time … McManaman is immediately surrounded by three German defenders … he brings the ball to the near side of the pitch … still McManaman for England, crosses the ball to Pearce … Pearce takes a shot! … saved by the German Ziegler, and picked up by Ince only 25 yards away from the German goal … good effort by Ince, aims at the goal! … and Kopke, the German goalkeeper pushes the ball over the top of the goal. So a corner kick for England. Speaker 2 A great shot by Ince, I’m sure he knows that Pearce set that up for him, but Kopke put the shot out of danger.Speaker 1He does like to punch the ball, that Kopke in the German goal … England’s first corner of this semi-final … Gascoigne will take it … Here comes the corner kick from Gascoigne … and Shearer’s there and Alan Shearer scores for England … England have scored after only two minutes’ play … with a corner kick by Gascoigne … aimed at the near post, and Alan Shearer heads the ball into the German goal … It’s an abso lute dreamstart for the semi-final … Shearer has got his fifth goal of the tournament … Would you believe it? It’s England one, Germany nil!Passage2Matt ：Now it’s time for Critic’s Choice, with news and reviews about the latest films. Good evening, Jack, seen anything good at the cinema this week? Jack ：Good evening Matt, yes, I’ve seen one of the best sports films of recent years.Matt ：Sports films? Th at’s not usually a type of film which appeals to you.Jack ：You’re right, but this time it’s different. I’ve been to see a film about mountain climbing, it’s not really your typical sports film. It’s more man against the mountain.Matt ：Tell us more.Jack ：I’ve been to see T ouching the Void, which is the story of a pair of mountain climbers in the Peruvian Andes.Matt ：Is it a true story?Jack ：Yes, it is. In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the 7,000-metre Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates were young, fit and confident they would succeed.Matt ：So what happens?Jack ：Simpson and Yates’ style of climbing involved moving quickly up a mountain with very few supplies and no base camps, which is risky. You c an’t make any mistakes.Matt ：I think I can guess what happens next. Jack ：And sure enough after climbing well for three and a half days, disaster strikes. Simpson falls and breaks his right leg. With no food or water, the climbers know they have to getoff the mountain – fast. Yates is determined to find a way to get his friend home, and he has to lower Simpson down the mountain. Simpson is in agony, but Yates has no choice except to ignore his partner’s cries of pain because otherwise he’ll die. Well, for a while, things go well. But suddenly Simpson, at the end of the rope, fails to respond to Yates’ signal. Yates is unable to move any further and has no idea why Simpson is not responding. So Yates holds on with all of his strength, all too aware that eventually his strength would give outand both would fall. But what Yates doesn’t know is that he has lowered Simpson over the edge of a crevasse. Simpson is hanging in mid-air from the vertical face of the mountain. He’s unable to climb back up the rope and he’s got frostbitten fingers and can’t communicatewith Yates above him.Matt ：So what happens?Jack ：Well, I don’t want to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.Matt ：But …Jack ：But Yates hangs onto the rope for an hour, getting weaker. For any climber, cuttingthe rope that binds him to his partner is unthinkable.Matt ：Sounds very exciting. So what about the direction and the filming?Jack ：The director is Kevin Macdonald, and he tells the story by cutting from interviews to shots of the climb itself. But it’s the message of the film which interests me. You see, in the end, the impression left by the film is astonishment that a human being could do what Joe did, which is to survive.Matt ：Thanks Jack, this week’s Critic’s Choice is Touching the Void, on general release in all cinemas from next week.Unit 7 Animal planetInside viewConversation1Mark ：Hey, what’s a cat doing in college? We’re not supposed to have cats here.Kate ：No! What a lovely pussycat! I adore cats. Mark ：I can’t stand them. I find them really boring.Kate ：But she’s gorgeous! Aren’t you, my darling?I wonder where she’s come from, maybe she’s wandered in from outside.Mark ：Actually, I remember, I saw her the other day. Maybe she belongs to someone in college –she hasn’t got a name tag on her.Kate ：We’re not allowed to keep pe ts in college. Mark ：Maybe someone’s breaking the rules. Kate ：Could be. So – is it just cats you hate or all animals?Mark ：No, I don’t hate animals. We’ve got threedogs at home.Kate ：Three!Mark ：Yeah, labradors.Kate ：Oh, they’re very lovable, l abradors. So you like animals then – apart from cats.Mark ：Yes, I love them. That reminds me, there’s a programme on tonight about snakes. I really enjoy watching nature programmes.Kate ：So do I, but snakes –They’re so scary. How can you like them?Mark ：I just do. Hey, what are we going to do about this horrible cat?Kate ：She’s not horrible. I think she wants to come into my room. Do you want to come in? Such a sweetie!Mark ：I’ll say goodbye. See you later. You’d better not keep her, Kate!Conversation2Kate ：Come in.Janet ：Hi, Kate! What are you doing with a cat in your room?Kate ：I found her in the corridor.Janet ：Where did it come from? Kate ：Search me! She doesn’t have a name tag. Janet ：What’s that organization called that protects animals? Maybe you should ring them. Kate ：Um –I think it’s called the RSPCA? Oh, no need. She’ll find her way home.Janet They’re so mad about animals, the British. Kate ：Yeah. So are Americans. So am I!Janet ：It’s very different in China.Kate ：Y ou don’t keep animals as pets, do you? Janet ：Well, that’s not so true for the last 15 years or so.Kate ：Yeah?Janet ：Yes, more people are keeping pets now, especially in cities. It’s because they get lonely, I think. Sometimes people dislike animals. But that’s the same as everywhere, right?Kate ：Yes! Some people just don’t like pets. So how do you feel about them?Janet ：I quite like cats, they’re all right. My mum’s terrified of them, she thinks they carry disease. Lots of people do, they’re fri ghtened of catching rabies.Kate ：It’s true. Dogs and cats can give peoplerabies.Janet ：I know. Actually, I’m afraid of dogs, I’m really scared of them. It’s their teeth!Kate ：I adore dogs and cats. But then I’m just crazy about animals. Hey, I think she wants to leave. Do you want to go, baby? There you go! Isn’t she cute?Janet ：Um …Outside viewPart1Presenter Once upon a time, Louis, a long, long, long time ago, your great-great-great-great grandad was a wolf. Go on, go on … T oday’s Wild, your weekly wildlife show around Oxfordshire, is all about the ancestors of all domestic dogs, the wolf. And if you’re really lucky, you might have one coming soon to a school near you. … Presenter ：So are you looking forward to seeing the wolves today?Kids ：Yeah!!!Presenter ：Are you? Are you excited?Kids ：Yeah!!!Presenter ：Do you like … no-one … anyone scared of wolves?Kids ：Yeah!! No …!!Presenter … the one at the back … come here then and talk to me for a minute … Are you scared of the wolf then? What do you think of dogs? Are you scared of dogs as well or is just the wolf?Girl ：Just the wolf.Presenter Just the wolf. OK, so we’ll see what you think afterwards. What’s your name?Girl ：Amy.Presenter OK, Amy. Well, I think we’re going to g o into the hall in a minute, so we’ll go and … Child ：Are we going to see the wolves?Child ：Can we hold them?Child ：Are we allowed to stroke them?Man ：I’ll show you where we’re going to be. Presenter ：Yeah, great. Can we stroke them? Yeah, I think we can.Part2Roger Good morning. I’ll now ask you to stay really quiet. Although these wolves are used to going into schools like this, they’re still quite shy and any sudden noise … and they wouldn’t be veryhappy. As your headteacher said, my name’s Roger and we’re from the UK Wolf Conservation Trust which is half way from a big town just a bit west of here called Reading, half way between Reading and Newbury. And we call these animals our living ambassadors for education and conservation. I’m quite happy to take any questions you may have, if you want to ask about what they eat, if you want to ask about how long they live, if you want to ask anything that comes to your mind. So put your hand up if you want to ask a question. Yes, at the back there.Boy ：How long do they live?Roger ：In captivity? Well we pander to every whim that the wolf has, we feed them every day, welook after them with real care. They can live to be at least 16 years old and there are cases of a wolf living to be … 20 or just over.Boy ：How fast can wolves run?Roger How fast can wolves run? Well, they’re not like a cheetah, which can outrun its prey, by getting up to 60, 70 miles an hour over very short distances. Wolves have evolved to be like a hound, so they can run fairly fast, about 40 miles an hour for three or four miles. And then they’ve used up all their energy. And in the wild, only about one in ten hunts is successful.Boy ：Um … Are you allowed to keep them for pets?Roger They … you can’t keep them literally as a pe t. Because although they look … like … cuddly lapdogs, they’re not. These are what we call a socialized wild animal which means that we hand-rear them from about seven days old. They have that all-important first week of special milk from their mother and then they’re still blind and deaf so the first thing they may see and hear is a human bottle-feeding them. And by doing that, they grow up to be really friendly, but as I said at the outset, they may look like pets –they’re not. These are wild animals which have learnt to like people. So if you had them in your house, in a very short time, they … and they’ve done it in our house in years gone by, they will either eat holes in your sofa, they’ll tear down your curtains, pull up yourcarpets.

In the UK, which has a human population of 61 million, there are 6.8 million dogs and 9.58 million cats.All over the developed world, the pet population is increasing. At the same time, people arespending more and more money on their pets, particularly on their dogs.The most extraordinary example to date is that of Leonara Helmsley, a childless American billionaire. When she died, she left her dog, a white Maltese called Trouble, 12 million dollars. While Helmsley was alive, nothing was too good for her little dog. He shared her bed, was dressed in expensive clothes and wore a diamond collar. His meals were prepared by a chef and presented to him on a silver tray. The problem was that Trouble lived up to his name and bit people. But Leonara didn’t mind –she loved him and he loved her. And so after her death, he got his reward – a lot of money that he didn’t know he had and couldn’t use anyway. Americans were shocked by this story, but the fact is that more and more rich Americans are leaving their dogs money when they die –250,000 dollars is not unusual. In Britain, people don’tspend as much money on their dogs as Americans but they do spoil them. At Christmas, 46 per cent of dogs can expect to receive toys, and biscuits. And one in ten dog owners say they dress their pet up for the special day.One woman was in the news in America for designing 120 outfits for her dog, which has its own wardrobe, and a $17,000 bed that it doesn’t actually sleep in. Its owner has a very successful dog boutique that sells – yes, you guessed it –designer clothes for dogs.Now dogs may enjoy all this attention, but spoilt dogs can create problems for their owners. Dogs need a master and if their master acts like their friend or parent, they start behaving badly, attacking other animals, and damaging property –often their owner’s homes. Yet, often, this doesn’t make their owners love them less – dogs are their children, after all.Passage2Interviewer：One of the most exciting creatures in the sea is the blue whale. Daniel Cameron is a film-maker who has been filming blue whales for ten years in the south Atlantic. First of all, tell us why you have this fascination with blue whales.Daniel ：Well, it seems obvious to me, really. They’re extraordinary creatures. They’re the largest mammals that have ever lived on earth. They –they can be as long as 33 metres –that’s more than 16 times taller than a human being. And they’re also the loudest animal on earth – the noise they make is louder than a jet plane. I’ve heard them –very, very loud. And when they come to the surface to breathe, their blow –well, it’s usually about ten metres high.Interviewer ：That’s amazing.Daniel ：And I forgot to say, they live for at least 80 years.Interviewer ：But their numbers are declining, aren’t they?Daniel ：Yes, well, at the start of the 20th century there were between 275,000 and 300,000 blue whales in the sea. Now there are probably, probably under 5,000.Interviewer ：And that’s as a result of …? Daniel … well, of whaling, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific. And also, climate change is beginning to destroy the food they eat, krill. Interviewer ：So they’re an endangered species? Daniel Yes. We’re not at all sure they’ll survive. That’s partly why I film whales – to raise awareness of them and let people know how extraordinary they are. We don’t want to lose them. Interviewer ：Is it very difficult to film them? Daniel ：It’s very difficult. The thing is, we know very little about them so they’re very hard to find. We – we had a boat with 12 men and often the weather was so bad that we couldn’t go to sea. We had a small plane that we used to locate the whales and the plane would find them alright, but, but it would take hours for the boat to get there, and by the time we got there – the whales had gone! Interviewer ：That must have been very frustrating.DanielYes, it was. But then sometimes we’d meet another whale while we were on our way out. We’d see its blow –as I said, it’s about ten metres high – and that’s quite something to see. And then one day –finally – we managed to film a whale feeding. None of us will ever forget that.Unit 8 Time offInside viewConversation 1Mark ：Have you got your tickets for the play? Kate ：What play?Mark ：The play which OUDS are producing.

There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves. This business traveller doesn’t like anything. Many people like a particular type of programme.Speaker 1 ：TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.Speaker 2：I usually watch dramas, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.

2024年6月大学英语六级听力原文(第2套)

2024年6月大学英语六级听力原文(第2套)Conversation OneI've just bought a new blender.What's that?A blender, you know, a machine that blends food.Uh, yes, of course, the electric kitchen appliance.Exactly, this one is state-of-the-art. I've been meaning to buy one for a while, and I did thorough research on which specific model to get.I read through maybe hundreds of online user reviews. Anyway, it's amazing.Really? What could be so special about it? I mean it's just a blender.Well, basically, it's just a very good one. It feels heavy and sturdy and well made. It also has lots of power and can easily cut and crush practically anything. This way, the soups and juices I make come out really fine and smooth, with no lumpy bits.Um, I see. I have never thought of getting one myself. It sounds like the kind of thing that, for me personally, I would rarely use.I've never had one before, and now that I do. I use it all the time.I make a fresh fruit juice in the morning, maybe not every morning, but3 or4 times a week, and it feels fantastic. It's a really healthy habit.I can imagine that must feel quite satisfying. I can picture you getting all creative in the kitchen and trying out a multitude of different ingredients, and it's obviously going to be healthier than buying packaged juice from a supermarket.It's so much healthier. It's not even close. Did you know that store-bought juice is like 10% sugar?Right, so then you bought it for the health benefits?Mostly yes. Basically, it allows me to have a more varied diet with a far wider assortment of nutrients, because it's not only fruit in my morning juices you see. I can also throw in vegetables, nuts, yogurts, cereals, anything that tickled my fancy.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1. What does the man say he did before buying the blender?Question 2. What does the woman say she has never thought of doing?Question 3. What does the man say is a really healthy habit?Question 4.What do we learn about store-bought juice from the conversation?Conversation TwoToday we have a very interesting guest.Mr. Thomas Benjamin Grimm, the mayor of Berkton, is here to talk about his job and responsibilities overseeing this charming village.Mr. Grimm, thank you for being here.Thank you for having me.I'd like to start by stating the obvious.Berkton has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, and this has happened under your watch.Just how did you achieve this?The achievement belongs to all the residents of Berkton.It was a shared effort where everybody pitched in for the communal good.But how did this change happen?In about 10 years, Berkton has gone from a relatively unheard of sleepy village to a must-see destination.Yes, the change has truly been remarkable.Berkton was always fortunate to be endowed with such a beautiful natural allure.The Ambury Hills above the village remain untouched by human development, and the Sonora valley just below it is equally stunning.The transformation commenced in a town hall meeting in spring 2008 over 10 years ago now, when an overwhelming majority of neighbors voted in favor of "Motion 836".This legislative proposal essentially set out to harmonize the aesthetic appearance of all the houses in Berkton.The idea was that if all the properties looked a certain way with shared design features, then a village as a whole would look more beautiful.And it worked.It certainly did.I'm looking now at a before-and-after photo, and the change is truly remarkable.It's hard to believe it's the same place.And how do the neighbors feel now?Great pride I would say.But what about the multitudes of visitors now crowding the streets?Is everyone happy about that?The tourists we receive are a blessing, as they have completely revitalized our local economy.Every visitor is warmly welcome.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5.What is the question the woman asked Mr. Grimm after the introduction?Question 6. What do we learn about Berkton of 10 years ago?Question 7.What resulted from the passing of the legislative proposal"Motion 836"?“836号动议”立法提案通过的结果是什么?Question 8. Why does the man say the tourists are a blessing toBerkton?Passage OneResearchers in the US have created a remote-controlled robot that is so small it can walk on the top of a US penny.In research published in the journal Science Robotics, a team at Northwestern University said the crab-like robot is 0.5mm wide.Researchers described it as the smallest ever remote-controlled walking robot.The tiny robot can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn, and even jump without the use of complex hardware or special power.The engineers said this is because the robot is powered by the elastic property of its body.To construct the robot, the researchers used a shape memory alloy material that transforms to its "remembered" shape when heated.Using a laser, the team is able to heat the robot at specific parts of its body, causing it to change shape.As the robot deforms and goes back to its original shape, it creates movement from one place to another."Because these structures are so tiny, the rate of cooling is very fast,"project lead Professor John A. Rogers said.In fact, reducing the sizes of these robots allows them to run faster.While the research is still in the exploratory phase, the team believes that technology could lead to micro-sized robots that can perform practical tasks in tightly confined spaces."You might imagine micro robots as agents to repair or assemble small structures or machines in industry, or as surgical assistants to clear clogged arteries, to stop internal bleeding, or to eliminate cancerous tumors, all in minimally invasive procedures,"Rogers said.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 9.What does the passage say about a team of researchers at Northwestern University?Question 10.What did the researchers say about the robot they created?Question 11.What do the researchers expect their robots to do in the future?Passage TwoI don't want to boast anything, but I have always considered myself something of an elite sleeper.Given the opportunity, I will sleep for marathon stretches, and can doze through the most extreme situations.On one very rough ferry crossing, on the route to the Isles of Scilly, for example, my traveling companion spent the entire 3-hour- ride throwingup in the bathroom, while I dozed happily on a plastic chair.Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that I am not an elite sleeper after all.It seems I am just lazy, because elite sleepers are defined as the approximately 3 percent of the population who are biologically programmed to need less sleep than the rest of us.According to a study that came out in March, elite sleepers have rare genetic changes, which means they can sleep fewer hours than mere mortals, without any risk of cognitive decline.It may not be possible to change your own genes, but can you train yourself to need less sleep?Is there a non-biological way to reach elite sleeper status?I have spent the past year trying to answer that question.Not for fun, I should add, but because having a baby has severely disrupted my sleep, for which I still have a great passion.For a while, I assumed I'd be forced to become one of those people who jump out of bed at the crack of dawn.After a year of tough scientific study, however, I have discovered being forced to get up early in the morning is very different from being an early bird.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 12.What does the speaker say she did on her ride to the Isles of Scilly?Question 13.What do we learn from the passage about elite sleepers?Question 14.What has the speaker been trying to find out over the past year?Question 15.What has the speaker discovered after a year of tough scientific study?Recording OneIf you read an article about a controversial issue, do you think you'd realize if it had changed your beliefs?No one knows your own mind like you do.It seems obvious that you would know if your beliefs had shifted.And yet, a new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that we actually have very poor awareness of our own belief change, meaning that we will tend to underestimate how much we've been swayed by a convincing article.The researchers recruited over 200 undergraduates across two studies and focused on their beliefs about whether physical punishment of kids is an effective form of discipline.The students reported their initial beliefs about whether physical punishment is an effective way to discipline a child on the scale from"1. Completely disbelieve" to"9. Completely believe".Several weeks later, they were given one of two research-based texts to read.Each was several pages long and either presented the arguments and data in favour of physical punishment or against it.After this, the students answered some questions to test their comprehension and memory of the text.Then, the students again scored their belief in whether physical punishment is effective or not.Finally, the researchers asked them to recall what their belief had been at the start of the study.The students' belief about physical punishment changed when they read a text that argued against their own initial position.Crucially, the memory of their initial belief was shifted in the direction of their new belief.In fact, their memory was closer to their current belief than their original belief.The more their belief had changed, the larger this memory bias tended to be, suggesting the students were relying on their current belief to deduce their initial belief.The memory bias was unrelated to the measures of how well they'd understood or recalled the text, suggesting these factors didn't play a role in memory of initial belief or awareness of belief change.The researchers concede that this research was about changes to mostly moderate beliefs.It's likely the findings would be different in the context of changes to extreme or deeply held beliefs.However, our beliefs on most topics are in the moderate range, and as we go about our daily lives reading informative material, these intriguing findings suggest we are mostly ignorant of how what we just read has updated and altered our own position.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16.What does a new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggest?Question 17.What happened when the students read a text that argued against their own initial position?Question 18.What did the researchers concede concerning their findings?Recording TwoAs the American population grows, so does the number of American moms.But more than a century after Mother's Day became an official holiday, even as that number increases, the share of the American population who are mothers is at the lowest point in a quarter century.It's frequently noted that fertility rates are falling sharply inricher countries.But the less observed consequence of this trend is that a decline in births can also mean a decline in motherhood in general.According to my analysis of data from the Census Bureau, the decline of American motherhood is real, occurring very quickly, and may continue for some time yet.Not only are moms making up less of the population, but their characteristics are changing too and in a way that might be linked to their proportional decline.Moms today tend to be older than in the past.Just looking at recent years, the change in age-specific birth rates has been drastic.In just the past few years, the peak childbearing age range for American women has advanced from that of 25~29 to that of 30~34.Meanwhile, childbearing among women under 20 has fallen by half or more, while childbearing among women 35 and older is rising.One positive consequence of this age shift is that a larger proportion of new mothers are economically prepared to raise children.Less positively, however, many women find that, as they age, they can't have as many kids as they would like.Plus, having children later in life can increase the risk of health complications.These finer points aside, one major consequence of the older mom's trend is that fewer years of a woman's life are spent as a mother.This means that, at any given time, a larger share of women and thus of the whole population, will report not having children in government surveys.In other words, later motherhood means less motherhood.Even as motherhood rates decline, Mother's Day, of course, will endure.In fact, despite the demographic shift, retail spending on the holiday appears to be rising.It is hard to say if Mother's Day spending is rising more than one would expect, given that the American population keeps growing.But one factor might be that the proportion of women who are the mothers of adult children is rising and those adult children may spend more generously when it comes to celebrating the moms they no longer live with.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19.What does the speaker conclude from her analysis of the Census Bureau's data?Question 20.What does the speaker say is a positive consequence of the age shift in childbearing?Question 21.What might be one explanation for the rise in retailspending on Mother's Day?Recording ThreeSince NASA published a paper in 1989 claiming that house plants can soak up pollution and toxic chemicals, businesses and homeowners have increasingly invested in greenery to help clean their air.But a new analysis suggests it could actually take more than 1,000 plants per square meter to gain a benefit any greater than simply opening a couple of windows.The problem lies in the fact that NASA conducted their tests in sealed containers that do not simulate the conditions in most people's homes or offices.The space agency was primarily concerned about keeping the air fresh for astronauts cut off in biospheres or space stations, and helping to combat "sick building syndrome" which had become a problem due to the super-insulated and energy-efficient offices of the late 1970s.By the early 1980s, workers regularly complained of skin rashes, sleepiness, headaches, and allergies as they breathed in toxic chemicals from paints and plastics.NASA found that certain plants could remove chemicals from the air, and even today garden centers recommend the plants for air cleaning properties.However, a new evaluation of dozens of studies spanning 30 years found that house plants in a normal environment have little impact.In fact, natural ventilation is far better at cleaning the air.The researchers also calculated the clean air delivery rate for plants in the studies they analyzed and found that the rate at which plants disperse the compounds was well below the usual rate of air exchange in a normal building, caused by the movement of people coming and going, opening doors and windows.Many of the studies did show a reduction in the concentration of volatile organic compounds over time, which is likely why people have seized on them to praise the air purifying virtues of plants.But the researchers' calculations showed it would take 10 to 1,000 plants per square meter of floor space to compete with the air cleaning capacity of a building's air handling system or even just a couple of open windows in a house.In contrast, NASA's sealed experiment recommended one pot plant per 100 square feet.This is certainly an example of how scientific findings can be misleading or misinterpreted over time.But it's also a great example of how scientific research should continually re-examine and question findings to get closer to the ground truth of understanding what's actually happening.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22.What does NASA's 1989 paper claim house plants can do?Question 23.What is said to be the problem with NASA's study reported in its 1989 paper?Question 24.What is the finding of a new evaluation of dozens of studies spanning 30 years?Question 25.What does NASA's sealed experiment recommendation exemplify in scientists'pursuit of truth?。

When the island was (S1) (1) discovered; it was almost uninhabited, but there were many statues on it. People are (2) eager; to know who lived there before its discovery, how they lived, and why they (3) died; out. Different theories give different explanations, but none is completely convincing.The Easter Islanders had their own system of 4) writing, different from any other in the world. No other (5) Pacific Islanders knew how to write. The American ( (6) Indians; did not know how to write either. Who (7) taught; the Easter Islanders how to write, or did they develop their own system? Remember that writing was first invented in Asia only a few thousand years BC.(8) The Easter Islanders lived on sweet potatoes they farmed. These sweet potatoes came from the Americas;. How did the Easter Islanders get them? Is it possible that a few Easter Islanders traveled 2,300 miles to Chile, got sweet potatoes, and brought them back? But this is unlikely. (S9)(9) Remember that the distances involved were great, further than the distance from Europe to the closest place in the Americas; which was only colonized in 1492. Could Easter Island have been colonized by people from Chile? Yet, DNA taken from graves dug up on Easter Island hasshown that these people were Polynesians, not American Indians. The Polynesians lived on the sea and knew how to travel thousands of miles in their small canoes. They knew where they were going. The American Indians did not know how to do that. Yet, (10) a few American Indians could have reached Easter Island, because of a storm, and brought the seeds of sweet potatoes with them; Also, the seeds could have been brought in the stomachs of birds.Unit 6 Part 3 Short passages/dialogs and blank fillingRecording 11. Legend has it that the Great Chicago (1) Fire; of 1871 began when Mrs. O'Leary's cow(2) kicked over a lantern, setting her straw on fire, which destroyed (3) more than seventeen thousand buildings, left (4) a hundred thousand people; homeless, and killed (5) at least two hundred fifty. Less well-known is the fact that the whole of the American Midwest (6) fell victim to disastrous fires on the night of October 8, 1871,People did not pay enough attention to Peshtigo, a small town. It fared (7) far worse in terms of 8) lives lost Half the town---(9) 1,000 people/1000 people;---died that terrible night.

There are many ways in which human stem cells can be used in basic research and inclinical research.Studies of human stem cells may (1) yield; information about the complex events that occur during human development. A primary goal of this work is to (2) identify; how stem cells become divided or differentiated. Scientists know that turning genes on and off is (3) central; to this process. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to (4) abnormal cell division and differentiation. A better understanding of the genetic and molecular controls of these processes may yield information about ((5) how; such diseases arise and suggest new strategies for therapy. A significant barrier (6) to;this use and most uses of stem cells is that scientists do not yet fully understand the (7) signals; that turn specific genes on and off to influence the differentiation of the stem cell.(8) The most important potential application of human stem cells is perhaps the generation of cells and tissues; that could be used for cell-based therapies. Today, donated organs and tissues are often used to replace ailing or destroyed tissue, but the need for transplantable tissues and organs far outweighs the available supply.(9) Stem cells, directed to differentiate into specific cell types, will offer a source of replacement cells and tissues;to treat diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease and diabetes.For example, (10) it may become possible to generate healthy heart muscle cells in the laboratory and then transplant those cells into patients with chronic heart disease;Unit 8 Part 3 Short passages/dialogs and blank filling1.

Wow, you look tired.Man: Oh, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I had a weird dream. I was in a clas sroom at school, but I didn’t have any clothes on! No one looked at me, but I was really embarrassed. Conversation 2Woman: Jesse, Jesse! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare.Mala child: Oh, what a terrible dream! I dreamed I was on a dark street. Suddenly, there was a large dog behind me. It ran toward me, but I couldn’t move.Woman: Don’t worry, Jesse. It was only a dream. Go back to sleep.Conversation 3Man1: Morning Tim.Man2: Morning. Hey, I had an amazing dream last night. I was on a beautiful boat. The sun was warm and the ocean was really blue. I jumped into the water, and I began to swim with the fish. The thing is, I can’t swim! But in the dream, I could. It was pretty cool.Audio Track 2-6-7/Audio Track 2-6-8/Audio Track 2-6-9I had an amazing dream last night. At first, I was standing outside of a strange big house. The house was painted pink, a very unusual color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, both round and rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I remember thinking that 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 it was when I suddenly heard a voice saying: “welcome home.” Wow, so this dream house was mine!I went inside and walked into my living room. It was spacious. There were sofas, a table, a big-screen TV, and a stereo system. It was pretty cool. All of my best friends were there, too. But for some reason they didn’t speak, didn’t smile, and didn’t even move. And then suddenly they all disappeared. I was scared. This dream was turning into a nightmare.I then went to the kitchen. It was also spacious. There were all kinds of kitchen equipment such asa gas stove and oven. There were also many electric appliances, such as a refrigerator, a microwave oven, an electric mixer, and a food processor. I liked the food processor the most, those certainly make life much easier. There was also a dining table in the middle of the room. The whole family was sitting around the table, waiting for a meal to be served. The kids were hungry and started to cry. But the gas stove didn’t work and there was no electricity for the microwave oven or the food processor.I wanted to help so I looked in the fridge but it was empty. I started to despair, what more could I do? That’s when I suddenly woke up.Audio Track 2-6-10/Audio Track 2-6-11Scientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are five stages, or parts, of sleep. Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep. If there is a noise or a bright light, you wake up very easily. In Stage 2, your brain waves are very slow. In Stage 3 and Stage 4, you are in deep sleep. It’s very difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during these stages.Stage 5 is when you dream. Your eyes move a lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage ofsleep is very important for your memory. After Stage 5, you wake up a little, and then Stage 1 starts again. We go through the five stages of sleep four or five times every night, so we have many dreams in one night. How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep fifteen to sixteen hours every day. Children and teenagers need nine or ten hours of sleep, but older people only need six to eight hours. If you sleep for only four hours one night, you may just feel tired the next day. But many nights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’t get enough sleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important for learning. It’s one reason why students should go to bed early!Audio Track 2-6-12For centuries, people have asked: Why do we dream? What do our dreams mean? Today, science doesn’t have definite answers to these questions, but we do know some things about dreams. First, we all dream, often four to five times a night. Second, we don’t usually remember most of our dreams. And finally, when we dream, our brains are very active.Thousands of years ago, people began to study dreams. In many cultures, people believed dreams were messages from spirits or gods. Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a new idea: Dreams come from a person’s mind. Doctors studied dreams to help sick or worried people.Audio Track 2-6-13/Audio Track 2-6-14In the past, some cultures used dreams to predict the future. They thought dreams could help a person choose a husband or wife, guess a baby’s birthday, or start a business. In some places, this practice is still common.Today, scientists think dreams are about our thoughts and feelings. Our minds send us messages about our lives. Unfortunately, many messages are often strange or confusing. People wake up and think: What did that dream mean?So, how can you understand the messages in your dreams? Think about the events in the dream. What do they say about your life? For example, one common dream is about flying. Sometimes this dream means you feel free or want freedom. Other times it means you feel afraid. What do your dreams tell you about your life?Audio Track 2-6-15/t/ /d/ /id/watched studied waitedwished explained handedAudio Track 2-6-161. I liked the movie.2.

She was sitting on a comfortable sofa watching a big-screen TV.A: I think that means you care about your grandma and you want her to feel comfortable.When I was a small kid I often dreamed that I was a grown-up and that my favorite movie star was in love with me. The weird thing is that I can't remember exactly how we met or what we said to one another.Recently, I had a terrible nightmare. I remember it vividly. A gigantic dinosaur with huge claws was chasing me, and it very nearly caught me.

Now, you’d like to join our team, I gather.Miss Jones: Yes, I would.Interviewer: That’s very good. I’d like to know a little bit about you. Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your education.Miss Jones: Oh yes. I left school at 18 and for the first two years I went to Gibsons. They’re an engineering firm. And after that, I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for two years and then moved on to my present company. That’s Europa Marketing. And I’ve been with them for three years now,first working with the Marketing Director and now I’m with the Sales Director. Interviewer: That’s all very interesting, Miss Jones. I’d like to know what was the course that you enjoyed most at school?Miss Jones: Foreign languages. We did French and German.Interviewer: And are you quite fluent in those languages now or ...?Miss Jones: Yes, a bit rusty now, but obviously the more travel I can do the more I can use my languages and I’d like to learn another language. I’d like to add Italian as well. Interviewer: Italian?Miss Jones: Yes.Interviewer: Very good, that might be very useful. Now tell me a little bit about the work you’re doing at present.Miss Jones:Well Europa Marketing is a marketing and public relations company and they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European markets. Our clients come from all over the world. I assist the sales director by arranging these visits, setting up meetings and presentations and I deal with her correspondence. I’ve not been able to go with her on any of her trips abroad, but I’ve been to the firms in this country, several times on my own to make these arrangements. Interviewer: It sounds as if you’re very happy there, Miss Jones. I’m curious why you’d like to leave them and join our company.Miss Jones: Well I know Anglo-European has a very good reputation. And I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work will be more challenging for me. I might be able to travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more challenges in my life really ...B.Interviewer: Good morning, Miss ...Miss Jones: Miss Jones. Good morning.Interviewer: Miss Jones, yes, right. Hi. Um ... now, you’d like to join our team, I gather.Miss Jones: Yes, I would.Interviewer: That’s ... that’s very good. Er ... I’d like to know a little bit about you. Perhaps you could tell me ... perhaps we could start ... if you could tell me a little bit about your education.Miss Jones: Oh yes, right. Well, I left school at 18 and for the first two years I went to Gibsons, you might know them, they’re an engineering firm.(An, yes, right.) Um ... and after that, I wanted to do a course, so I d ... I did a one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for another two years and ... and thenI moved on to my present company. Um ... that’s Europa Marketing ... um ... Mr. Adair, themarketing director, offered me a job because Gibsons had ... had worked quite a lot with Europa Marketing. (Oh, yes, Europe’s got big business.) And I’ve been with them for three years now ... um ... first with the Marketing Director and ... andnow I’m with the Sales Director.Interviewer: That’s all very interesting, Miss Jones. Um ... I ... I’d like to know, what did you enjoy most at school? What was the course that you enjoyed most?Miss Jones: Ah ... foreign languages I liked best. (Foreign languages.) We did French andGerman. Yes.Interviewer: Mhm.

Now ... er ... tell me a little bit about ... er ... the work you’re doing at present.Miss Jones: Um ... well ... er ... Europa Marketing is a marketing and public ... public relations company and they do ... they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European markets. Er ... our clients come from all over the world ... um ... we deal with some of them by ... by post, but most of them come to our offices and at least once during a project.I assist the sales director by arranging these visits, setting up meetings and presentations andI ... I deal with her correspondence. I’ve not been able to go with her on any ... on any of hertrips abroad, but I ... I’ve been to firms in this country, several times on my own ... um ... to make these arrangements. Interviewer: It sounds as if you’re very happy there, Miss Jones. I’m curious why you’d like to leave them and join our company.Miss Jones:Well ... um ... I know the reputation of Anglo-European and it has a very good reputation. And I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work will be more challenging for me. I might be able to possibly travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is ... is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more ... um ... challenges in my life really ...Part ⅣAAt interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, and when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t get to an interview or at least peoplewon’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into theroom, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Um, do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, er holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course you have to ask yourself if they’re like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job where in, in a situation where a job depends on, on them making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making, er, good, making contact with other colleagues, making, having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of, of um things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what, er what the person expects to get from a new job in a new country, and that I think is important because it shows the expectations that the person has — what they want from their job. Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. ) Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as “conscientious”. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I’m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could ‘adapt quickly to change’. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I’m afraid I became unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey: I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that we’re offering. Jane: Yes, that’s right.(Michael James is being interviewed now by the same two people. )Mrs. Grey: ...and according to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you ‘tend to be a little impatient at times’.Michael: Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow! Mr. Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I’d like to know is ...Mr. Toms: Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wanted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You’re a keenfootballer, I understand.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael:Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.) Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them — and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman —I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert.And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。

The manager interviewed him and asked him to clean the floor as a test. The man did it excellently."Give me your e-mail address," said the manager. "I'll send you the application to fill in." The man replied that he didn't have a computer, nor an e-mail account. "I'm sorry," said the manager. "If you don't have an e-mail account, that means you do not exist. So you can't have the job."The man left disappointed. He didn't know what to do as he only had $10 in his pocket. Then he decided to buy 10 kilos of tomatoes and sell them from door to door. In less than two hours, he made 20 dollars. He repeated the operation several times. Soon he earned enough to buy a cart, then a truck, and later his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Within five years he became one of the biggest food retailers in the United StatOne day, a friend asked him for his e-mail address. He said, "I haven't got one." His friend couldn't believe his ears. "You don't have an e-mail account, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been if you hadan e-mail account?" The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft."2.Do you know angelfish? They are one of the most brightly colored fishes in the sea, and people like to keep them as pets because of the elaborate patterns on their bodies. But perhaps the most interesting thing about angelfish is that there is a kind of angelfish, Bellus Angelfish, which can change from female to male!The change happens for a specific reason. Bellus Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one blue male fish and a number of yellow female fish. The male fish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He protects and looks after the females. When the male angelfish dies, the group needs a new protector. This is when the largest female angelfish in the group begins to change her appearance. She begins to grow bigger and, after a week, starts to change color—from yellow to blue. Her behavior changes accordingly and becomes more male-like. Finally, about two weeks later, she becomes completely male!3.Doraemon is one of Japan's most beloved cartoon characters. It has become popular around the world, especially in Asia, since its first appearance in 1969. Now this time-traveling robotic cat has taken on a new role as an "anime ambassador" to promote the nation's culture.Japan's foreign minister held a ceremony to appoint Doraemon as Japan's first "anime ambassador" whose task is to make friends by traveling around the world.He said to the person who acted as Doraemon, "I hope you will travel around the world as an anime ambassador to deepen people's understanding of Japan so they will become friends with Japan."In his acceptance speech, Doraemon said that he was eager to promote Japanese culture, "I will do my best to tell people in foreign countries about what the Japanese think, how the Japanese live and what kind of future the Japanese hope to make."。
