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

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families. Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression.While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed byempirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure”decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely”on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2.What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3.What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4.According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion? Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.D Task 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up. Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps. Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored.Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK.Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed. Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handlinganger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?” When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?”Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.Afterclimbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6) neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plumpup the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10) Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons.Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while thenumber of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery.By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons. The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women’s use of botox rose 60 percent while men’s fell 14 percent; women’s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men’s fell 19 percent; women’s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men’s fell 54 percent.6.What is true of men and women’s use of fat injections?7.While of the following is true of nose jobs?8.How much greater is the percentage of women choosing cosmeticsurgery to look younger than the percentage of men?9.What is true of men and women using botox in the previous year?10.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?11.Keys: 1C 2.C3.

Also (S2) known as a virtual business, the SOHO has not evolved beyond the idea of an (S3) independent business person who has a few support stall members. Business (S4)enterprises that are large are often called Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Before the19th century and the (S5)spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, (S6) nearly all offices were small offices or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and (S7) so was the amount of paperwork that went with their business activities.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term ―Small or Home Office‖ and (S8) the acronym SOHO have been used t to great extent by companies that sell products to large number of small business with a small-sized office.Some products are often designed specifically for the SOHO market. (S9) Many books are written and sold specifically for this type of office to tell people how to equip a small office.Nowadays many consultants, lawyers, and real estate agents in small and medium- sized towns operate from such home offices.(S10) In the field of software development, engineers often have to work 20 hours or more at a stretch, so they can hardly adapt to normal office hours. They often work in small offices to have more freedom.Task3: The Role of Job DescriptionsScriptPeople who don’t understand what their employers expect them to do may be headed for one of the most common and yet most avoidable career traps. If your boss doesn’t take the time to explain properly what you are expected to do in your position. Then keep asking questions until you know precisely what it is. Don’t limit your questions to matter of everyday routine. Lee Colby, a management consultant based in Minneapolis, offers his advice. He says you can ask more significant questions like,―What a re our departmwnt’s goals? How does my work fit in with the overall objective of the company?‖That method helped Lisa James, an assistant manager at an electronics company. When James was transferred to a new department seven years ago, she found herself not only working for the manager of quality control, but assisting three other managers. Because the job was both demanding and ill-defined, James had to put in ten-hour days as well as take work home. To clarify what was expected of her and what she hoped to get from her job in terms of career department, she drafted a list of goals in collaboration with her principal boss. The list proved so well though out that her boss used it as the basis for her annual performance reviews. Shortly afterwards, she was given a raise for her efficient work.If your boss is vague about what your goals should be, try this technique suggested by Atkin Simon, director of a Boston-based management-consulting firm: Read your position description, which most large firms provide, and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.1.If your boss does not describe your job responsibility clearly, what can you do?2.What kind of questions can you ask about your job?3.When James was transferred to a new department, how many managers did shehave to work for?4.With whom did James draft a list of goals?5. How was her list of goals received?Keys: 1B 2.D3. D 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceRead your position description and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.IV.

Jenny: Then could you come after five on Thursday?Dick: Certainly, Can we make it five thirty then?Jenny: Five thirty’s perfect. Linda will be waiting for you at five thirty on Thursday. Dick: Ok. Great! Thanks. Bye.V. Let’s TalkScriptLillian: Mr. Baxter, you have worked in the company for five years, and you manage everything here smoothly, like a clock. Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list. When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document. The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of the report?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly. Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: ―Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.‖Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. ―Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.‖Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, ―Recognize.‖This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin,and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The message read, ―Recognize.‖ The new CEO did it, and the company quicklyrebounded.5. The meager said, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖ It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.News ReportA Wearable TranslatorScriptThe inability to communicate in a foreign language is a problem that many international travelers face. But now, a Minnesota company is developing a system that would make this a problem of the past.Minneapolis-based Via is the company behind the ―Mobile Language Translation System‖, or MLTS. But they are not the only company trying to develop real-time computer translation. IBM is promoting a new high-speed text translation system, and NEC is working on software that provides rapid voice translations from English to Japanese and vice versa.But Via CEO Ed McConaghay says that the biggest difficulty in developing MLTS hs been to combine existing technology with bidirectional capability and portable packaging.[SOUND BITE]A translator demonstrates just how MLTS works.The translations take about five seconds and are not always perfect. However, the text translation on the screen can help users get the general idea of a conversation. [SOUND BITE]In the future, MLTS may be able to assist military personnel in communicating with foreign language speakers in the field.This system may also be of help to border patrol officers, airport personnel, and local law enforcement.Eventually, though, the device will be available to travelers or anyone in the general public who would like to communicate with a foreign friend.。

新视野大学英语视听说4(第三版)听力练习原文及答案
Short conversationsConversation 1W:The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack.I never have time for exercising.M:Don ’ t think it ’ s worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.Q:What advice does the man give to the woman?Conversation 2W:Hi, Mark, I ’ve gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events? M:Well, drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables or bread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full.Q:What can we know about the woman?Conversation 3W:I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces.M:Yes, that’s right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.Q:What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa?Conversation 4M:So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home,they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W:Yes, that’ s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm.They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 5W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn ’ t seem to be a successful strategy.M:No, it isn ’ t. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with acup of 100 percent fruit juice.Q:What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?Long conversationM: I love working out!W: Ugh! You’ re sweating all over the floor⋯M:I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it ’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M:You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my mind relax and the stress just falls away.W:It is nice outside. My mom loves t ’ai chi and a nearby t ’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ ve tried going, but it ’ s too early for me to get out of bed⋯M:T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It ’s unhealthy for you to sit in front of your computer all day, every day!W:Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen? W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M:Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!W:A zoo membership! Now that ’ s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’ s near my house, I can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Passage 1Have you ever felt you don ’ t have enough hours in the day? Or that you ’ d give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn ’ t making the list; that ’ s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “ 2” next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it ’ s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter. Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or studythen. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can doa day’ s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird,it canbe difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “ night owls ”, but that ’s what email ’s for! Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently Iinterrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can ’ t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed andbe able to win some “ me-time ” for yourself.Short conversationsConversation 1W: So this is your last year in college. Have you ever thought about what you ’ d like to do after graduation?M:Well, I really don ’ t know. The job market seems to be improving, so I may look for a job somewhere. But I am also interested in applying for graduate school.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?M: Do you remember Linda we met a while ago at Susan ’ s birthday party?W: Linda? Do you mean the lady who you said was a nurse in the community hospital before her retirement? Yeah, I remember. She looks very young for her age.Q:What does the woman think of Linda?Conversation 3M:I wish I could retire tomorrow. Then I would not need to worry about work.W: I don ’t look forward to retirement. I ’m afraid of getting old – my body will slow down, and my children will be away. I dread losing independence and living in loneliness. Q: What makes the woman afraid of getting old?Conversation 4W: I consider my early 20s to be the prime time of my life. How about you?M:I couldn ’ t agree with you more. That ’ s no doubt the golden period. You are young and energetic. You are free to pursue your passion. The best thing is that you have a wealth of opportunities to explore.Q:What does the man like best about being in his early 20s?Conversation 5W: Hi, John. You are taking Law 201 this semester, right? How do you like it?M:Yeah, it’ s a great class. We’ ve looked at several cases of age discrimination at work. Such cases are very interesting because they are rarely clear-cut and court decisions can be rather controversial.Q: What does the man say about age discrimination cases?Long conversationM: Nancy, time to make a birthday wish!W:I wish ... hmm. OK! I want a high-paying job, a husband with a perfect face and body, and abig house ... with a swimming pool!M:Wow, Nancy! Those are your three wishes?W:Of course! If I have those three things, I ’ ll be happy!M:Now, Nancy. Let me tell you my story, and you may see things differently.W:“ See things differently?” What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?M:Here is what I once experienced in life. When I married, 32 years ago, we had ahappy marriage, a beautiful house, two expensive cars, and $200,000 in the bank!M:What happens if you lose your job, lose your house, and your husband becomes sick? I suggestthese three wishes: patience, courage and love!W:Patience, courage and love?M:Yes! If you have patience and courage, you and your husband will have good jobs and a nice house. And if you have true love, you and your husband will be beautiful to each other no matterhow old you become together.W:This is good.M:Within six years of our marriage, we had three beautiful children, but we lost our jobs, ourhouse, all our money, and then I got really sick for nine years. But we didn’ t lose anythingtruly valuable, because we always said: “ Wherever the five of us are together, we are at home! ” And, little by little things did improve, and I finally got well. Patience, courage and love!These are what make life full, strong and happy!W: Hmm, I will remember. Patience, courage and love! Thanks, Uncle Charlie!Passage 1If you think that you have to live up a remote mountain in order to live a long and healthy life,a religious community in Loma Linda, California, may prove you wrong. Its members are a group of Christians known as the Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists enjoy a much higher life expectancy than average Californians. Adventist men can expect to live about seven years longer than other Californian men. Adventist women are likely to live around four years longer than otherCalifornian women. The Adventists also act much younger than they are and see doctorsmuch less than ordinary people.So what’ s the secret of the Adventists ’ longevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their good health a mere accident. The Adventists live longer partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 percent of them are vegetarian, and around one half eat meat only rarely.Tobacco andalcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffeine. The Adventist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans, and water is the drink of choice.The longevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. They believe in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties. They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Linda, however, is not as good as in other longevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don ’t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellent health. Despite this, the Adventists ’ good health certainly provides strong evidence that diet andlifestyle choices have a great impact on health and longevity.Short conversationsConversation 1W:I really need a holiday, so I ’ m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break?M:I haven ’t got any plans yet. I don ’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money, or maybe I could start studying for next semester.Q:What is the woman going to do over the semester break?Conversation 2M:I heard that you quit your swimming lessons. But you have paid $120 for them.W: Ah, it ’s all these yoga sessions. I just couldn’t fit them all in. What ’s more, I got the majority of my fees back because I quit immediately after the first day.Q:Why did the woman quit her swimming lessons?Conversation 3M:Shall we spend our weekend in Singapore? We can leave Friday afternoon so as to have dinner next to the river and enjoy fireworks at the shore!W: I ’d rather go on Saturday. My aunt will drop in on Friday evening. We haven’t seen each otherfor a couple of years.Q: Why doesn ’t the woman want to leave on Friday?Conversation 4M: What do I need to bring for our camping trip to the national park?W: Well, we ’ ve bought the food and rented a van. It ’ s a camping vehicle with a fridge and cookingequipment. I think you will need a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings.Q:What does the woman suggest the man bring for the camping trip to the park?Conversation 5M:Have you confirmed your booking at the hotel in Sydney? With only three days left before our trip, I hope everyone is as ready as I am!W:Not yet. But I ’ d better call them before we start our vacation. During this time of year theyalways get quite busy.Q: What will the woman probably do before the vacation?Long conversationM:Rebecca, I just learned of an amazing park right here near our city!W:Really? Is it a nature park or an entertainment park?M:It ’ s a beautiful nature park, located 15 miles from our home.W:Bill, this is perfect! We can have a vacation and still keep saving money to visit myfamily sometime. But, can we get to Big Sky Park without a car?M:Yes, easily. We just take the No. 32 bus that goes right to the park. The only problem willbe getting all of our camping stuff with us on the bus.W:Well, I did just buy that new cart to help carry groceries home on the bus, plus we have your big backpack. Together, I think we will be fine. All of our camping equipment should easily fiton the bus.M:Good. Good! I know we can make it a really special weekend. I have longed for a time when we could walk alone together in the quiet beauty of nature. I ’ m so, so happy to have this chance to be with you at the park.W: I know me too! I know what I ’ ll do! I ’ ll pack all of our favorite food, and I ’ ll bake a small chocolate cake. Your favorite! Then we can drink tea and eat the chocolate cake around a campfire. I ’ m so happy you found Big Sky Park. I can’ t wait, just two more days for the weekend to come!M:I ’ m so happy as well. Big Sky Park will be wonderful. The fire, the dinner and spending time with you make me such a happy, happy man, Rebecca!Passage 1A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. But you have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things such as sofas, beds and anything that makes you feel like taking a rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around relaxingly in the museum.It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened rightafter the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.The museum’ s founder Marcela Arrieta said she wanted people to rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they may feel they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and change our lifestyle to a type that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stress ofwork can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta ’ s advice for yourself, slow down, and think about being lazy?Short conversationsConversation 1M:I think the government could provide some money for homeless people to build theirown homes. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address.W:It ’ s not a bad idea. But I wonder where the money will come from.Q:What does the man think the government could do?Conversation 2W:You see, some colleagues are not as active and efficient as usual and few have madeany progress in their business recently.M:Why don ’ t we organize some social activities, such as a baseball match? Our colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another.Q:What does the man suggest to change the situation?Conversation 3W:I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of day.M:When you take the subway, you don ’t have to deal with traffic. I never drive home. Driving at this time may be slower than walking.Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?W: Have you heard? Kate quit her job and went to Africa to work as a volunteer!M:Really? I really admire her courage. I think we should all extend an arm of help, loveand compassion to help poor people become self-reliant financially and psychologically.Q:What does the man think we all should do?Conversation 5W:You know there are many creative ways to reuse items. For example, old shoe boxes can be used for storage and plastic containers can be used for growing plants.M:I never realized that we could be so green. I just learned to recycle glass bottles.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationW: Hey, John! Everything OK? You look upset.M: Oh, hi Kate. I was in the cafeteria eating alone. James from accounting walked by, sat downto eat at the table right next to me – didn ’ t say a single word to me. I wondered why. W: Is that the main thing stressing you out, John?M:No, I was silly to feel bad about that. What I am stressed about is my workload. My manager, Steven, is a great guy. He always counts on me to get the work done. But I have five meetingsthis week and two big projects to complete by next Monday. I don ’ t see how I can finish. I ’ m really worried I ’ ll let my team down.W: I have some free time on Friday and over the weekend. I can help you with your extra work if you’ d like.

Perfect!Passage 1More than half of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a survey.That’ s bad news for employers because workers ’ discontent can hurt productivity and hinder innovation.Lynn Franco, co-author of the report, says Americans ’ job satisfaction is at its lowest level in more than two decades: Only 45.3 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobs compared with 61 percent in 1987.The report was produced by the Conference Board, a non-profit organization that helps businesses strengthen their performance. It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee ’ s work life, including interest in the job, dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither young people who are just entering the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says, arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it’ s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 percentof baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that ’ s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opportunities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction. Thereare economic reasons such as wages, promotion policy and bonus policy that are sort ofadding tothis level of dissatisfaction. In addition, workers are also dissatisfied with the benefits: vacation policy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.Short conversationsConversation 1W:I’ve read a lot about this young singer in the music press. She ’s certainly creating a stir. Is she really that good?M:She’ s absolutely brilliant. Each of her performances has been a sell-out. Her mix of rap and folk music is unique and awesome.Q:What does the man say about the singer?Conversation 2M:So here we are in Rome, Italy. In the next four days, we are going to have a full schedule.W:I’m so excited. Rome has been my dream city. I can ’t wait to see the historical buildings, visit the art galleries and eat real Italian pizza. By the way, shall we start with the famous CapitolineQ:What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Conversation 3W:Besides modern opera, which you are studying now, are there any other areas of the artsyou enjoy?M:All sorts. I like pop music, and I very much enjoy pencil drawing. But what interests memost is poetry, especially American poetry in the early 20th century.Q:What ’ s the man ’ s area of study?Conversation 4M:Hi. I am calling to inquire about the exhibit of ancient Greek sculptures you are now hosting.W:Sure. Admission is free. The opening hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.Q:How long does the exhibit open on Saturdays?Conversation 5W: Darling, let ’ s check out the reviews of this movie online. If it’ s good, we should watch it. M:I think we should. To watch a silent movie is certainly not something common in modern days. The actors must have superb skills to attract the audience if they do not say anything.Q:What is special about the movie?Long conversationW:This feels like a dream ... The last time I was in San Francisco was 30 years ago, when I was your age, 15 years old. So much has changed in the city – but you know – many of the sites are just the same.M:Wow! San Francisco is as beautiful as a picture! I can ’t believe it! Let ’s get going! Let’s look at the map and take the streetcar to the Golden Gate Bridge.W:Yes, of course. But, wait – let’ s just take a moment to look at the Golden Gate Bridge from here– up high on the hill. See how amazing the sun looks, shining on the bridge there highabove the water? Sometimes the best way to really enjoy something is to see it from different angles and perspectives.M:Yes! Just beautiful from here! OK! Let ’ s get going! Wait! You know what, Aunt Lucy, I ’m really, really hungry! May we eat before we head out to see the Golden Gate Bridge?W:Yes, of course we can. We’re already here in Chinatown and near my favorite Chinese restaurant. Even after 30 years have passed since I last visited, it ’ s still busy and active.M:That ’s great, Aunt Lucy!W:And, it ’ s right here!M: Wow! This is amazing! The man inside the window is making noodles by hand – just by pulling on the flour dough. I ’ ve never seen anything like it before. How?W:Yes, I know. It’ s amazing, right? And the food is delicious, too! Sometimes the best way to enjoy culture is to simply slow down and truly experience it. We have five full days here in San Francisco. Let’ s go slowly and enjoy every moment!Passage 1The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world. It was created byLeonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, between around 1503 and 1506. The subject is the wife of a wealthy silk merchant of Italy. The woman ’s husband requested Da Vinci to portray her as a celebration of their home ’ s completion and the birth of their second son. What is it about thispainting that has created such a lasting impact on the artistic world?One factor is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a scientist,an architect and an engineer. His knowledge of the human form came from the study of actual human bodies, so he was able to draw and paint it more accurately.Another factor is the material used for the painting. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, butunlike other paintings, which are usually created on canvas, the Mona Lisa has a wood panel asthe surface. The use of a wood panel makes it possible for the work to have survived for centuries.Lastly, the style and techniques used for the painting make the Mona Lisa a masterpiece. DaVinci presented precise details in the subject’ s hands and face. He applied a shadowing techniqueat the corners of her lips and her eyes, which gives her an unbelievably lifelike appearance. He also created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape. His remarkable skills left behind no visible brush marks at all.All these factors – Da Vinci’ s talent, the medium used for the painting, the style andtechniques applied in the work – contribute to the lasting and mysterious beauty of the Mona Lisa.Short conversationsConversation 1M:There is not much worth in reading the newspapers these days. They have more pagesbut fewer words that really matter.W:You said it! All you find in them are advertisements and celebrity gossip. I wish theycould direct more attention to issues that are more important to society.Q: What does the man think of today ’ s newspapers?Conversation 2W: Hello. Today on Business Focus I am talking about knowledge management with Mr. Adam Johnson, the Human Resources Manager of a multinational company. Mr. Johnson, how has knowledge management changed the way your company works?M:In lots of ways. The most significant change occurs in how we manage the process of our project development ⋯Q:What is the woman probably doing?Conversation 3W:Recently, reality television has swept across almost all channels: matchmaking, job hunting, and talent shows. I don ’ t know why people are so crazy about it!M: In my view, some people watch reality TV because it makes them feel they ’ re better than others. They may also enjoy seeing other people get embarrassed.Q:What does the man say about reality TV?Conversation 4W:I think teenagers today experience a different social reality from what we had before.M:Exactly. When we were kids, we would hang out with friends, chatting, or going to movies. That’ s our experience, but what we see now is that young people are choosing to live online. Q:How do young people socialize today according to the man?Conversation 5W:Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are, butI think communications technology is bringing people closer.M:Yes, I’d go along with you on that. With these modern tools, there ’ s a new kind ofconnectionbeing built within families.Q: What does the man think of modern communications technology?Long conversationW:Hey Billy! It ’ s 7:30 p.m.! Turn off your TV and computer. Come down to dinner. It seems your father is finishing his conference call with his team in China.M: OK Mom. Coming. But why is Dad on his computer while I can’ t be on mine!W:Billy, your father is working. But you are chatting with your friends about celebrities!So your father needs to be on his computer. And you don ’t!M:OK. Sorry, Mom. What are we having for dinner? Pizza?W:Pizza?! I’ ve made us a nice dinner of roast chicken, mushroom soup and vegetable salad. I even made chocolate cake for dessert – and you want pizza!M: Just kidding Mom! I love your cooking! Mmm I’ m hungry, and it smells delicious!W: Billy! I told you to shut down all electronics!M: Mom! This isn ’ t fair. You told me to turn off my computer and my TV – you didn ’ t say all electronics – and you didn ’ t mention my cell phone! I have to check the news! My favorite golf player just got in trouble for drunk driving! Please Mom! I have to find out!W:You can’t go five minutes without having your eyes on a screen! Hand me your phone. Now! I am turning it off so we can have a nice dinner.M:OK Mom. Fine! Here ’ s my phone.W:Now, where is your father?M:Will you make Dad do the same? We never have family dinner anymore without Dad being on electronics!W: Hmm, you know, Billy, you have a very good point. I think it’s time we had family dinner without any electronics. Here ’ s our new rule: Just for 45 minutes over dinner, no electronics!。

Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Reason and EmotionScriptK eys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionK eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles. After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X”riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity,the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctor s also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons.Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery. By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women’s use of botox rose 60 percent while men’s fell 14 percent; women’s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men’s fell 19 percent; women’s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men’s fell 54 percent.6.

Most employers are more interested in your practical ability than your looks.V. Let’s TalkScriptG reetings, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you’ll find it interesting how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. You’ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year. If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they’re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy “outfits”. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories. If you can’t afford expensive clothes, you can spend money on accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags. Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Beauty Contests and Plastic SurgeriesScriptJuliana Borges, who was named “Miss Brazil”early on Tuesday, had plastic surgery four times and underwent 19 smaller operations.

These days, young hopefuls from the Amazon jungle to big cities in Brazil’s south are planning surgery.A third of the 27 finalists at the beauty contest went under the scalpel after rules were changed in the 1990s.The new rules permit plastic surgery, colored contact lenses, and hair dye at beauty contests.The organizers of the Miss Brazil contest said, “It’s a war out there, and all of the beauty tools that can be used should be used. Other countrieslike Venezuela paved the way, and Brazil is going to have to use those tools as well if it wants to com pete in Miss University beauty contests.”But Brazil’s love for plastic surgery is not limited to beauty contests.

I don’t understand what men find so attractive about her.John: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?Becky: She has nothing for me to be jealous about.John: I’ll be you believe in those saying like: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Becky: True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring it out.John: But do you always stick to those rules? When I went past your apartment last night, I saw you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all your face.Becky: They were cucumbers. They’re natural healers of the skin. Haven’t you heard people say on TV that they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, and build strength and resilience?John: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah! See, I can even recite that advertisement.Becky: You’ve learned a lot, haven’t you?John: Since you can keep your skin so young-looking and maintain your figure so well, you might as well as write a book on beauty secrets.

If you’re trying to reach a weight-loss goal, a new hairstyle is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence. According to a popular hair stylist, clients often say, “I want to cut my hair, but I should lose weight first.”But that’s not the right sequence; it’s the other way around. You should know what hairstyle will flatter you the most, the style that will show off you particular feature to the best advantage even before you begin to lose weight.For example, many may want to follow a tread and wear long hair. But some may look better with shorter hair if they have a round face. “When it’s too long, it can drag your face down and actually bring attention to the features you don’t want to emphasize,” says Guy Riggio, a famous hair stylist in Los Angeles. How short is too short? That depends the length of your neck. Riggio says, “The longer the neck, the shorter you can go.”Some top stylists believe that women should stay clear of bangs. Thick bangs may be fashionable at times, but even thin bangs are hard to wear. “They change the shape of your face, making it seem shorter,” says New York hair stylist O’Connor. Instead, you should pull your hair away from your face. It will make your face look longer.Finally, pick a stylist who’s knowledge able and whose opinion can be trusted. Then have fun with the new style.For Reference:1. It is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence2.

The event was hosted by American talk show host, Jerry Springer, at a glitzy resort in the heart of South Africa’s bush country.[SOUND BITE]The pageant was created in 1951 by a public relations executive for a small leisure and entertainment company. It was initially intended to be only a one-time event, but was continued after the United States began the rival Miss Universe contest in 1952.In more than half a century, there have been only three Miss World winners from Africa, two of them white South Africa and the third from Egypt. Miss World has until now been dominated by winner from Europe, the Americas, and India, the majority of them being Caucasian.The contestants in this pageant are judges in three different categories: beauty, grace, and charm; talent, poise, and personally; and figure and deportment. After the first round of judging, the original group of 92contestants was pared down to only ten finalists who would go on to compete for the title.The second-runner up in this ten year’s pageant was Miss Scotland, 18-year-old Juliet-Jane Horne.[SOUND BITE]The People’s Republic of China was represented for the first time this year by 18-year-od Bing Li.[SOUND BITE]The title of first runner up went to Miss Aruba, 19-year-old Zerelda Lee. [SOUND BITE]The competition was fierce as each of the ten finalists took her turn in the spotlight in front of a live audience.But out of the 92 contestants, it was Miss Nigeria, 18-year-old Agbani Darego, who took home covered title and the $100,000 prize.[SOUND BITE]Before being crowed, Darego took the victory walk wearing a lime-green, body hugging dress and waved to a cheering crowd.The news of her victory sparked rapturous celebrations all over Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.Uint3II.

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

If they talk to the shop, maybethey will give youa refund.B: Sounds too good to be true.V. Let’s TalkScriptHello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families. Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason”and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involvingthe extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely””on intellectual logic or “purely”on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3. What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4. According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps.Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored. Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. ThenI start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK.Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed. Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?”Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, thepassenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

But your haircuts haven’t been in harmony with your character. Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick: I’ve never heard of such a thing.Stylist: If I may say, I’m an expert at matching hairstyle to personalities. Believe me; you’re suffering a “disjunction”. Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?Stylist: Your hair does not match you.Nick:This is utter nonsense.

For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t (S3) match their newly face and figure, there’s a procedure that claims to make them (S4) sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons. Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery.

Her special area is called “public interest law”.Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers’fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called “civil”cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle “criminal”cases.

This area is well-known because it is a beautiful avenue that connects two major traffic circles. It is located at the bottom of a high mountain.That day, the sun was shining, but the weather suddenly changed. As we were walking between the two circles, it started raining very hard. We started to cross the boulevard to get to the second circle. It was raining so hard that we decided to go inside a restaurant instead. Ten minutes later, as we were looking out the window, we saw everyone was running away from something. At first, we did not know what was going on. We went outside the restaurant to see what was happening. People seemed shocked.A huge flood was streaming down the mountain. We were standing on a higher place, so we could see everything. We were scared. Cars, rocks, and people were floating on the water like little toys toward the little market at the south end of the circle. The height of the water was almost to the top of the trees.After a few minutes, the flood’s flow was reduced, so we decided to leave the area before the water entered the street we were on.It was reported that the flood destroyed a big area and approximately 300 people were killed or disappeared that day. Later, we also learned that a dam had burst during the rain.Unit 22-8、More practice in listeningConversation 11、AWhat the man will do after graduation.2、DShe looks younger than she is.3、CPhysical inability and loneliness.4、BHaving plenty of opportunities.5、DPeople may have different opinions on the court decisions.

But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you’re not careful:Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résuméis not supposed to give the story of your life; it’s a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.Bad Rule No. 2: Don’t be too narrow. If you’re not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-endmarkets? You’re no different from a car.

Its founder, Christian Dior was born in 1905 in the small town of Granville in Normandy, France. Dior spent some time as an artist and launched a gallery in 1928, with generous financing by his father. Hard times were just around the corner though. The Great Depression resulted in the bankruptcy of the family business, forcing them to sell virtually everything they owned. Dior moved in with a friend and soon began directing his attention to the fashion industry. After being discharged from army service in 1940, he returned to Paris in 1941 and secured employment with the fashion house of Lucien Lelong. In 1946, Marcel Boussac, the richest man in France at the time, provided substantial financial backing for Dior to launch his own fashion house. Dior’s first clothing line released in 1947 was an overwhelming success, winning favor for the designer, both in Europe and the distant USA. Not surprisingly, in 1949 Dior established a presence in New York City and soon expanded again to London in 1952. Wider global expansion followed shortly after. In 1948, Dior launched a perfume line which proved to be a great success. And in a 1950 decision he expanded the brand into fashion accessories like hats, ties and handbags. Dior was preparing for retirement when a heart attack took his life in 1957.Later the group experienced many ups and downs over the years. Despite all these ups and downs, Dior is still considered as one of the most popular and innovative fashion houses in the world.

Why? Because school is out and the weather is great. And most of all, because weall deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spots.Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles to camp out in comfort, while others “rough it”by sleeping in tents.Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation’s border. Why? For one thing, it’s cheaper than traveling abroad, and there’s no language problem. Besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more“family friendly”vacation resorts offer special programs for children. Environmentalists prefer “green vacations”. These trips allow them to observe plants and flowers closely without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or rafting. Daring tourists get the thrill of a lifetime on expeditions in remote places from Africa to Asia.Q 11: What is the passage mainly about?Q 12: Which of the following is true of traveling in recreational vehicles?Q 13: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why Americans prefer to travel within the United States?Q 14: Which of the following is true of America, according to the passage?Q 15: How can environmentalists benefit from “green vacations”?•复合式听写10题16、audience17、teenage18、celebrate19、Popular20、conquers21、columns22、is central to23、a private arrangement24、to choose25、apart from•听力文本If you listen to American music, watch American television, or read American magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending –the big wedding –are subjects of interest to the adults as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers, and their families. Popular songs tell us that “All the world loves a lover”. A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to a happy life.Americans consider marriage a private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from parents and build their own independent family structure.Unit 44-8、More practice in listeningConversation 11、CProvide financial help for homeless people.2、AHolding some social activities.3、BUse the subway to avoid heavy traffic.4、CExtend a helping hand and give love to poor people.5、DHow to reuse items to live a green life.Conversation 21、BBecause he has too much work to complete.2、ATo help him do his work in her free time.3、BHe should have confidence in himself.4、DBecause it offers seasonal foods.Passages 11、ALess innovation efforts.2、D45.3 percent.3、DBecause they see more opportunities for promotion as baby boomers retire.4、CThe reasons for job dissatisfaction are found to be various.

Also (S2) known as a virtual business, the SOHO has not evolved beyond the idea of an (S3) independent business person who has a few support stall members. Business (S4)enterprises that are large are often called Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Before the19th century and the (S5)spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, (S6) nearly all offices were small offices or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and (S7) so was the amount of paperwork that went with their business activities.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term ―Small or Home Office‖ and (S8) the acronym SOHO have been used t to great extent by companies that sell products to large number of small business with a small-sized office.Some products are often designed specifically for the SOHO market. (S9) Many books are written and sold specifically for this type of office to tell people how to equip a small office.Nowadays many consultants, lawyers, and real estate agents in small and medium- sized towns operate from such home offices.(S10) In the field of software development, engineers often have to work 20 hours or more at a stretch, so they can hardly adapt to normal office hours. They often work in small offices to have more freedom.Task3: The Role of Job DescriptionsScriptPeople who don’t understand what their employers expect them to do may be headed for one of the most common and yet most avoidable career traps. If your boss doesn’t take the time to explain properly what you are expected to do in your position. Then keep asking questions until you know precisely what it is. Don’t limit your questions to matter of everyday routine. Lee Colby, a management consultant based in Minneapolis, offers his advice. He says you can ask more significant questions like,―What a re our departmwnt’s goals? How does my work fit in with the overall objective of the company?‖That method helped Lisa James, an assistant manager at an electronics company. When James was transferred to a new department seven years ago, she found herself not only working for the manager of quality control, but assisting three other managers. Because the job was both demanding and ill-defined, James had to put in ten-hour days as well as take work home. To clarify what was expected of her and what she hoped to get from her job in terms of career department, she drafted a list of goals in collaboration with her principal boss. The list proved so well though out that her boss used it as the basis for her annual performance reviews. Shortly afterwards, she was given a raise for her efficient work.If your boss is vague about what your goals should be, try this technique suggested by Atkin Simon, director of a Boston-based management-consulting firm: Read your position description, which most large firms provide, and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.1.If your boss does not describe your job responsibility clearly, what can you do?2.What kind of questions can you ask about your job?3.When James was transferred to a new department, how many managers did shehave to work for?4.With whom did James draft a list of goals?5. How was her list of goals received?Keys: 1B 2.D3. D 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceRead your position description and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.IV.

Helen: And I also think you are ready to take on some new responsibilities. Susan:What do you mean, Helen?Helen:I’m promoting you to assistant marketing manager, but you might have to travel around the country at short notice. Is that OK with you?Susan: Of course. Thank you.

Jenny: Then could you come after five on Thursday?Dick: Certainly, Can we make it five thirty then?Jenny: Five thirty’s perfect. Linda will be waiting for you at five thirty on Thursday. Dick: Ok. Great! Thanks. Bye.V. Let’s TalkScriptLillian: Mr. Baxter, you have worked in the company for five years, and you manage everything here smoothly, like a clock. Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list. When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document. The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of the report?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly. Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: ―Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.‖Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. ―Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.‖Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, ―Recognize.‖This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin,and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The message read, ―Recognize.‖ The new CEO did it, and the company quicklyrebounded.5. The meager said, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖ It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.News ReportA Wearable TranslatorScriptThe inability to communicate in a foreign language is a problem that many international travelers face. But now, a Minnesota company is developing a system that would make this a problem of the past.Minneapolis-based Via is the company behind the ―Mobile Language Translation System‖, or MLTS. But they are not the only company trying to develop real-time computer translation. IBM is promoting a new high-speed text translation system, and NEC is working on software that provides rapid voice translations from English to Japanese and vice versa.But Via CEO Ed McConaghay says that the biggest difficulty in developing MLTS hs been to combine existing technology with bidirectional capability and portable packaging.[SOUND BITE]A translator demonstrates just how MLTS works.The translations take about five seconds and are not always perfect. However, the text translation on the screen can help users get the general idea of a conversation. [SOUND BITE]In the future, MLTS may be able to assist military personnel in communicating with foreign language speakers in the field.This system may also be of help to border patrol officers, airport personnel, and local law enforcement.Eventually, though, the device will be available to travelers or anyone in the general public who would like to communicate with a foreign friend.。
