Uint10II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom. M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius. Q: Wh y don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man?2.ScriptW:The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work. M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream. M:And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4. ScriptM: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.W:But do they enjoy life like you and me, or is money their only concern? Q: What are the two speakers’ attitudes toward successful entrepreneurs?5. ScriptW: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important?M: Yes, but we have to recognize that all of us are not of equal ability. Q: What does the man imply?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3. D 4.B 5.AIII. Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to comp ete from early childhood. When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. Wh en children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies. Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others. Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan: I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great. Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that norma l throughout the world?Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s competition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is mo re deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.What is the woman doing?3.What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4.What does the man say about students’ studies?5.What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competitionor cooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’ Work EthicFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsivelly. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Do you know what “Freeze!” means?ScriptThere is one word which you must learn before you visit the U.S.A. That is “Freeze!” It means, “Stand still and don’t move.” Police of ficers use it when they are ready to use their guns. If the person does not obey the command and moves, they shoot.One evening in Los Angeles, someone rang the bell doorbell of a house. It was a dangerous area at night, so the owner of the house took his gun with him when he answered the door. He opened the door and saw a person, who turned round and started walking away from the house. The owner cried “Freeze!”, but the man went on walking. The owner thought he tried to escape, so he shot him dead.Later, a sad story was uncovered. The dead man was Yoshiro Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student. He went to visit a friend for aHalloween party, but he could not remember the number of the house. When he realized that he had gone to the wrong house, he turned round to leave. He did not know much English and so did not understand the command “Freeze!”.The tragedy arose from cultural misunderstanding. Those who have lived in the United States for a long time understand the possibility of being shot wh en one trespasses upon an individual’s property. It is a well-known fact in America that a person’s home is his castle. Although Rodney Pears, the owner of the house, gave a verbal warning “Freeze!” to Hattori, Hattori did not know it meant “Stand still and don’t move”, and therefore did not obey it. This misunderstanding became the trigger of Hattori’s disaster. The concept of owning guns is hard for Japanese people to understand, but in America you are permitted to own a gun under the U.S. Constitution.1.Wh at does the word “Freeze!” mean in the passage?2.What did the owner of the house take with him when he answered the door?3. Why did the Japanese student turn around and leave?4.What is mentioned as a possible result of trespassing?5.Wh y is the phrase “a person’s home is his castle” quoted in thepassage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.CVI.Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: PunctualityScriptT o Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work. American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do theydo?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for anappointment is fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships andschedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried ifthey let an opportunity pass by?5. What was Benjamin Franklin’s view of time?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our Personal SpacesScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what is usual north of the border. And for middle easterner, typical Arab conversations areat close range. Closeness cannot be avoided.As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is sacred.Keys: 1.T 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.FTask 3: We don’t know what to do with them.ScriptA Russian, a Cuban, an American businessman, and an American lawyer were passengers on a fast train speeding across the French countryside. As time wore on, the men gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottle out of the open window. “What did you do that for?” asked the startled American businessman.“Vodka is plentiful in my country,” said the Russian, “In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it---far more than we need.”The American businessman shook his head and leaned back in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian’s reasoning.A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasures of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window.“I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year,” the American businessman said. “Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.”“Cigars,” the Cuban replied, “are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we kno w what to do with.”The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grbbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.。

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum(论坛). I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up1. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experience and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.“Hey,”I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,”she said.1. What was the first requirement of the online class? A2. What was strange about the beginning of the online class? A3. How were the other students different than the speaker? C4.

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.M: All right, everyone. Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions?W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But it’s a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.W: Do you think that I use too few words?M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. So your active vocabulary in yournative language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?M: Now that’s a very good question.W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using“too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.”? Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.1. Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary? D2. What is “active vocabulary”according to the professor? D3. What do many English learners want to do? A4. What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language? B5. What does the professor want to tell Winnie? DTask 2Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting1 what you want.The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics(歌词) and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, you can expand2 your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.1. What is the biggest problem that many English learners have? B2. Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all? B3. What is the best way to learn English according to the speaker? D4. What is the best way to learn English through music? A5. How can you benefit from watching English movies? C注释：1. stop sb. from doingkeep sb. from doing 阻止某人做某事prevent sb. from doing2. expand: vt. 使膨胀，使扩充，扩大，发展extend: vt. 伸长，延伸，扩大，扩展extent: n. 广度，宽度，长度，范围，程度Unit 2Warming UpHaving problems with your parents? Because society has been changing so rapidly during the last few years, the gap between the generations has become larger. So it can be difficult for children and their parents to relate1. Parents often find the ideas and ways of their children offensive（冒犯的，无礼的）. And children, often teenagers, tend to be rebellious and act badly.More than at any other time, Chilling Out with the Folks（和父母轻松相处）, a set of self-help recordings that bring the generations together, is necessary. Chilling Out with the Folks will help you develop the patience and tolerance（容忍，宽容） necessary to bridge（弥合起来） any generational divide（分歧）. Honestly, it will change your life! Listen to these recordings today, and begin your trip down the road to peace and perfection!注释：1. it is﹢a.﹢for sb.to do sth.对某人来说做某事是…的eg. It is difficult for me to finish the task this afternoon. 对我来说今天下午完成任务是不可能的It is impossible for the man to betray(背叛) his country. 对那个人来说背叛祖国是不可能的Understanding Short ConversationsNow you will hear ten short conversations. A question will follow each conversation. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the fourpossible choices.1. W: How about spending the evening chilling out with the folks?M: Come on, Mom. I’d really like to get out with my friends.Q: What does the young man want to do? C2. W: Honestly, I don’t know what to say about our son’s music.M: Leave him alone about it. After all, your mother didn’t like your music either1.Q: What should the woman do according to the man? C3. W: I’m surprised to see you out and about so early in the morning.M: You know my mom. She doesn’t like me sleeping in（睡懒觉）, even on weekends.Q: Why is the man out and about so early in the morning?D4. M: A little teenage rebellion is normal. Your son will get over it.W: I know. I’m just worried about him doing something that will ruinhis life.Q: Why is the woman worried about her son? B5. W: Get a piercing in my nose? No way! My parents would be angry!M: You’re not giving them enough credit. I don’t think they’d be upset at all.Q: Why wouldn’t the woman get a piercing in her nose? B6. W: What bugs you most about your daughter’s eating habits?M: I can’t stand the way she eats so quickly.Q: Why does the man have a problem with the way his daughter eats? D7.

Unit 10 Section A Being Honest and OpenMy grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. There was no middle point. They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: "Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show." They didn’t have to talk about it; they demonstrated this truth by their life style.They understood instinctively that integrity involves having a personal standard of morality and boundaries that does not sell out to convenience and that is not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner compass for judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today — and getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline we must demand of ourselves. A good test for this value is to apply what I call the "Integrity Triangle"; , which consists of three key principles:Stand firmly for your convictions when confronted with personal pressure. There’s a story told about a surgical nurse’s assistance during her first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible for ensuring that all surgical instruments and materials were accounted for during an operation. The nurse said to the s urgeon, "You’ve only removed 11 sponges, and we used 12. We need to find the last one.""I removed them all," the surgeon assured her. "We’ll close now.""You can’t do that, sir," protested the nurse. "Think of the patient."Smiling, the surgeon lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge. "You’ll do just fine in this or any other hospital," he assured her.When you know you’re right, you can’t concede.Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, clarified this point to his newly appointed office heads by sending each of them a Russian nesting doll with five progressively smaller figures inside.His message was contained in the smallest doll: "If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy & Mather will become a company of giants." And that is precisely what O&M became —one of the largest and most respected advertising organisations in the world.Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors — their looks or status — in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this false mask, but they will do very little to enhance their inner value and personal growth.So be yourself. Don’t engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. "Tough times never last but tough people do," as Robert Schuller says. In other words, face reality and be mature in your responses to life’s challenges.Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Integrity means you do whatyou do because it’s right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not yielding to the tempting attractions of an easy morality, will always win the day. It will take you forward into the twenty-first century without having to check your tracks in a rear-view mirror. My grandparents taught me that.Unit10-A我祖父母认为，一个人要么诚实，要么不诚实，两者之间没有折中可言。

I enteredthe forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn ’t shown up1. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experience and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.“Hey,”I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions aboutthe online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,”she said.1.

Listen carefully and choose thebest answer from the four possible choices.M: All right, everyone. Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions?W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get g ood markson tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But it’s a goodconcern. Many advanced English learnershave a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can under stand many difficult English wor ds when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.W: Do you think that I use too few words?M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’tuse. So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary.And I guess that you are not worried about that.W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How elseam I going to remember them?M: Now that’s a very good question.W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using“too few”English words. As your needs fordifferent things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.”? Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.1. Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary? D2. What is “active vocabulary”according to the p rofessor?D3. What do many English learners want to do? A4. What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language? B5. What does the professor want to tell Winnie? DTask 2Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answerfrom the four possible choices.The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry thatthey won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting1 what you want.5 The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you havearound you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics(歌词) and tryto read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, youcan expand2 your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.1. What is the biggest problem that many English learners have? B2. Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all? B3. What is the best way to learn English according to thespeaker? D4. What is the best way to learn English through music? A5. How can you benefit from watching English movies?

Because society has been changing so rapidly during the lastfew years, the gap between the generations has become larger. So it can be difficult for children andtheir parents to relate1. Parents often find the ideas and ways of their children offensive （冒犯的，无礼的）. And children, often teenagers, tend to be rebellious and act badly.More than at any other time, Chilling Out with the Folks （和父母轻松相处）, a set of self-helprecordings that bring the generations together, is necessary. Chilling Out with the Folks will help you develop the patience and tolerance （容忍，宽容）necessary to bridge （弥合起来）any generational divide （分歧）. Honestly, it will change your life! Listen to these recordings today, and begin your trip down the road to peace and perfection!注释：1. it is ﹢a.﹢for sb.to do sth.对某人来说做某事是…的eg. It is difficult for me to finish the task this afternoon. 对我来说今天下午完成任务是不可能的It is impossible for the man to betray(背叛) his country. 对那个人来说背叛祖国是不可能的Understanding Short ConversationsNow you will hear ten short conversations. A question will follow each conversation. Listencarefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.1. W: How about spending the evening chilling out with the folks?M: Come on, Mom. I’d really like to get out with my frie nds.Q: What does the young man want to do? C2. W: Honestly, I don’t know what to say about our son’s music.M: Leave him alone about it. After all, your mother didn’t like your music either1.6Q: What should the woman do according to the man? C3. W: I’m surprised to see you out and about so early in the morning.M: You know my mom. She doesn ’t like me sleeping in （睡懒觉）, even on weekends.Q: Why is the man out and about so early in the morning? D4. M: A little teenage rebellion is normal. Your son will get over it.W: I know. I’m just worried about him doing something that will ruin his life.Q: Why is the woman worried about her son? B5. W: Get a piercing in my nose? No way! My parents would be angry!M: You’re not giving them enough credit. I don’t think they’d be upset at all.Q: Why wouldn’t the woman get a piercing in her nose? B6. W: What bugs you most about your d aughter’s eating habits?M: I can’t stand the way she eats so quickly.Q: Why does the man have a problem with the way his daughter eats? D7. M: What’s wrong with out kids? They think they’re entitled to2 everything we have!W: Well, I feel it’s my fault for givi ng them too much.Q: What does the woman think about their kids’ problems? B8.

These shop windows only show things out of date and out of fashion. They're misleading. Anyway, it's fun to break old stuff.W: And that's what I'm saying. You don't know what's funny. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed movies and going out with my friends, not causing trouble or breaking things. M: This is just the big difference between your generation and mine.W: No, it isn't! I know teenagers of your age, and they don't have your bad attitude! And they certainly never break shop windows!M: Whatever, Mom. I've got to go now.W: Huh? Where do you think you're going?M: I don't know. Maybe I'll go out and break stuff.Transcript:"Educator methods", such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my "educator methods" failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At theend, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her.3---------W: In order to have a meaningful life, you must be ready to give and sacrifice.M: I agree totally. And I try to remember this every day.Q: What will be possible if you give and sacrifice according to the woman?W: Do you think we should give aid to people in need?M: I think it's the least we should do for them.Q: What should be done for people in need, according to the man?M: Believe it or not, my baseball coach taught me a lot about being kind.W: That really isn't so unusual. After all, it isn't always parents who teach us. Q: Who taught the man to be kind?W: Why do you let your little sister cling to you all the time?M: Since our parents died, she needs me more. I can't push her away.Q: Why does the little sister need the man more?W: My mother never complained about hard work in front of the family.M: Wow, that's something to learn from!Q: What did the woman's mother never complain about?W: You've got to meet my father. He's handicapped and he has a lot to share. M: I'd like to. You just tell me when.Q: Why should the man meet the woman's father?M: I saw you talking to your mother at dusk.W: Yeah, even though she's busy she always finds time to talk to me. That's why I love her so much.Q: Why does the woman love her mother?W: Hey, I heard you spend your evenings at the home for the elderly.M: Some evenings. I'd like to go more, but I don't have time.Q: How does the man feel about going to the home for the elderly?W: You are the first person to extend help when I needed it.M: Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for.Q: Why does the man tell the woman NOT to worry?W: My mother never interrupted me while I told her my problems.M: Sometimes that's the best way to help someone.Q: What did the mother do to help the woman?Transcript:W: I heard a bang on my way to class this morning.M: Some guy brought a gun to school and tried to shoot someone.W: You're kidding! Is everyone OK?M: Yeah. The teacher managed to take the gun from him.W: Our history teacher?M: That's the one.W: He never stops amazing me.M: He was definitely the right person at the right time. After he hit the student and grabbed the gun, he talked to the boy about his problems. While I was on the phone with the police and the parents, he was holding the student. If I was not mistaken, I thought the student was crying.W: Did the teacher help the boy solve his problems?M: I don't think so. The student was clearly bothered by something pretty big. I don't think problems like that can be solved so quickly. But, when the police came to take him away, our teacher told him that he would see him again.Transcript:The friendship and sympathy of a special person changed my life, and I'd like to tell you about it. Looking at me now, you might not guess that I was not very popular when I started my university studies. I was thin and didn't look very handsome with my glasses. In fact, my classmates still laughed at me, just as they did in high school. One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past me and knocked the books out of my hands.I was feeling sad and lonely. But then, someone else approached me and helped me pick up my books. That day, I made my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved.I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how to talk to girls, and above all, how to be social.4----W: I'd really like to make a good impression in class.M: Well, so long as you pay attention, you shouldn't have a problem.Q: How can the woman make a good impression in class?M: I've had a good rest, and am ready to make a good impression on my boss.W: That's the attitude! You're going to be great!Q: What is the man ready to do?M: You've become so mature since I last saw you.W: Nah, it just seems that way because I'm wearing nice clothes. I'm really still like a child.Q: According to the woman, why does she seem different?M: Don't look so aggressive. Calm down and look relaxed.W: OK, I'll remember to smile during my meeting with my new boss.Q: What will the woman remember to do?W: My boss never notices me. I think I lack the skills to get a better job at my company. M: No. You just need to have more confidence in yourself.Q: What does the woman lack according to the man?W: I'm sure you'd be promoted if you wore better clothes.M: You might be right. But clothes are expensive.Q: What might help the man get promoted?M: My status will never improve if I can't make others believe in me.W: Improve the tone of your voice, and others might trust you more.Q: How can the man get others to trust him more?M: How did your interview go?W: Great! I stayed positive, like you said earlier, and I think I got the job! Q: What did the man tell the woman earlier?M: I took an instant liking to you. W: No way! I was so awful to you the first time we met!Q: Why does the woman NOT believe the man?W: It'd be easier for you to persuade people if you don't look so nervous.M: I know, but I really can't change the way I feel.Q: How could the man persuade people more easily?W: Stand up straight!M: What?W: Your head should be up, and your back should be straight! Looking people in the eyes is very important!M: I appreciate your help, but I'm only going to a job interview.W: I assume you want this job. Am I right?M: Of course I do.W: Then listen to me! You'll make a good impression if you show self-confidence. But don't look too rigid. You want to seem a bit relaxed.M: Anything else?W: Yeah. You should tell them a joke.M: A joke?W: Everyone likes a joke. Do you know any?M: I know one about a fight between a Frenchman and a German.W: No! Don't joke about countries, sex, or religions. You could upset someone. M: I don't think I can remember all of this. Maybe I should just stay home.W: Honey, don't worry. You'll be great! Just stand up straight!Transcript:There are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know.To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talk about the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company's special needs, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.I see smart, good-looking people every day, but the ones that leave me with the most remarkable impression are those who know about the company. Do this, and you'll be in good shape!5-------M: The battle against AIDS involves all of us, you know.W: Sure. I'm doing my part by teaching AIDS awareness-raising classes.Q: How is the woman doing her part in the battle against AIDS?W: Some doctors say that AIDS will be cured in ten years.M: Maybe. But even so, we shouldn't stop our battle against AIDS.Q: What do some doctors say?M: What can we do for the 8,000 people who die of AIDS every day?W: Let's write letters to the leaders in the federal government and ask them to support AIDS research.Q: What is the purpose of writing letters?W: Have you heard that our group is forming a network with other groups?M: Yes. We need more AIDS groups to join together so our efficiency will improve. Q: Why are the groups forming a network?M: Let's explore ways to fight AIDS that we haven't tried yet.W: OK. What do you think about writing a publication to educate the public?Q: What is the woman's idea for teaching people about AIDS?W: I'm confident we can stop AIDS by teaching people about it.M: Education will help. But AIDS won't be stopped until a cure is found.Q: When will AIDS be stopped according to the man?M: Some AIDS groups emphasize education and some emphasize research.W: Yeah, maybe you're like me, and you don't know which to join.Q: What is the woman having trouble with?W: If people were more giving, our group would have more resources in the battle against AIDS.M: You're right, but we can't force people to help.Q: What would happen if people gave more?M: I've been thinking about joining an AIDS organization after graduation.W: Don't wait that long! AIDS is a world crisis, so we must fight against it now! Q: Why must the man act now?W: I started educating people about AIDS when I discovered I was infected.M: Lots of people help for many different reasons. I'm glad you're here.Q: Why did the woman start educating people about AIDS?Transcript:W: I know many people who are active in the battle against AIDS. Take my uncle for example. He's trying to find a cure.M: That's great! Has he made any progress?W: Some. Right now he's working on a medicine to clean the AIDS virus out of the body. M: How is this medicine different from others?W: Some AIDS medicines can help a little. But the AIDS virus is so good at hiding that it remains. This new medicine will be able to find the virus and get rid of it. M: So why isn't this medicine being used now?W: Well, it's not ready yet. Doctors are concerned about the side effects, like a bad reaction to the use of other AIDS medicines.M: I'm very impressed with what your uncle has done. I'd like to do the same kind of work some day.W: That would be good. But until then, you could at least give money to support research.Transcript:A young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he's afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease. This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world's poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines. In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won't solve all of the problems.6-----M: Do you know what is meant by Consider Collar Colors Carefully?W: It means we should think about our beliefs about job status.Q: What does Consider Collar Colors Carefully mean?W: Since you became an executive at the firm, you never have time for the kids. M: I know. All the respect and money I get now isn't worth missing my children. Q: How does the man feel about being an executive?M: My aunt visits schools to convince girls to become plumbers.W: I'd be surprised if many girls listened to her. Most want to work in offices. Q: What would surprise the woman?M: Did you hear the big news? The vice-president died! And I might get his job! W: Are you sure you want it? The job was what gave him the heart attack!Q: Why should the man think more about taking the job according to the woman?W: I really admire people who work hard to build roads and clean the city.M: That's nice to hear. Many people don't respect laborers.Q: According to the man, what is nice to hear?W: You had options after college. Why did you choose to be a window washer?M: I think it's exciting to be high up, outside of tall buildings.Q: Why did the man choose his job?M: It took me 30 hours to write that proposal. I haven't slept, and I want to cry. W: It's finished now. And you can relax by playing some golf.Q: What might make the man relax according to the woman?M: The image of trash men being dirty is wrong! Many of them are very clean. W: I believe you're right. Still, I'm not sure I'd like to become one.Q: What do the two speakers agree on?W: Since you work in an office, you can wear nice clothes every day.M: To be frank, I'd rather wear a T-shirt than a suit.Q: What would the man like to dress for work?M: I'm getting tired of the rude comments we get as garbage men!W: Just ignore them. We know our work is important, and that's all that matters. Q: What should the man do according to the woman?Transcript:M: When we were kids, we didn't think much about social status. We played the part of doctors or plumbers and didn't really understand why one was better than the other. W: Right! We didn't consider collar colors carefully. Later, we learned to respect people like business executives, lawyers, and doctors more than others.M: Do you think we learned the right idea?W: Yeah, I do. Some people are more important than others for society. A plumber, for example, does important work. But he can be replaced easily. A doctor, on the other hand, does important work and it is difficult to replace him. We should, then, respect people like doctors more.M: What about plumbers? Shouldn't we respect them, too?W: Everyone who works hard should get respect, but it's not necessary to respect everyone the same. Of course, I'm friendly and nice to my plumber, but I don't think he's as valuable as some people.Transcript:There was a time when I was afraid to tell people I am a construction worker. Nowadays,I'm proud of it. In fact, I boast about it.My life changed one day when my daughter came home from school and told me that I had a better job than any of the parents of her classmates. At first, I was surprised.I knew many of her classmates had parents who were important business people. I reminded her that business people get more respect from society, often make more money and work in an office.She told me that I didn't understand what was important in life. Respect, money and offices aren't as important as time. Businessmen must work long hours, so they can't see their children as much. Building houses, I only work six hours a day. This gives me more free time to spend with her.7----W: So, did you buy guns for sport or for trouble?M: Neither! I bought a couple of pistols to protect my home.Q: Why did the man buy guns?M: What's the problem? Keeping a gun in my home for safety isn't a crime.W: In this country it is against the law. You'll have to give it to the police right away!Q: What is the problem with the man having a gun?M: My anxiety level always goes up when I see someone late at night.W: You wouldn't be so worried if you carried a gun, like I do.Q: Why does the woman NOT get worried?M: My daughter was arrested for having a pistol at school.W: I know. She told me that she brought it because she didn't feel safe.Q: What does the woman know?M: It's usually males who cause problems with guns. I don't know why.W: Men are just more violent by nature, I think. They cause many problems.Q: Why do males cause most problems with guns?W: I'm cautious when I'm out. I pay attention and stay out of trouble.M: If you continue to do so, you won't have to worry about needing a gun.Q: Why does the woman NOT need a gun according to the man?M: Did you see what the robbers looked like before they started shooting?W: They had on nylon masks, so I couldn't see. I was scared when they shot at me. Q: Why could the woman NOT tell what the robbers looked like?W: I heard that you shot your gun in the house yesterday. Did you see a robber? M: No. I fired it by mistake while polishing the handle. I should have been more careful.Q: Why did the man shoot his gun in the house?M: I became an advocate of tougher gun laws after my son was killed.W: I know you mean well, but I don't think you're doing what he'd want.Q: What does the woman doubt?M: Will you reveal the cause of gun violence at this meeting?W: No. Gun violence is not simple enough to understand in such a short time.Q: Why will the woman NOT tell people the cause of gun violence?Transcript:M: Before the robbery, cases of gun violence were only statistics to me, numbers that I would read in the newspaper. But now, things will never be the same.W: What do you remember?M: I remember everything that I would like to forget. Most of all, I remember the shots. Bang! The sound of the first bullet being fired rang in my ears. I turned and saw a victim collapse. She grabbed her chest. And then, in a moment, she was still. W: You just stood there?M: I was so scared; it was like I was frozen.W: Why did they do it?M: The robbers? They wanted money, of course. But I blame society for allowing people to have guns.W: I don't think I'd like it much if I was told I couldn't have a gun. Having a gun makes me feel safer.Transcript:Millions of people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence, and many of them think guns should be destroyed. I understand how they feel, but I don't share their opinion. Since I've owned guns my entire life, my thoughts on this issue are different. The reality of the situation is that guns don't kill people. People kill people. So we should think less about the problems of guns, and think more about the problems of people. We should think about joblessness and poor education, which are at the foundation of this issue. And we should act to reduce these problems by promoting better schools.Education shows us how to rise above violence, teaching us how to be responsible and how to support ourselves by our work. More people need to learn these important lessons, and then we can reduce gun violence in society.8-----W: Rack your brain for creativity and you will solve your problem.M: I hope you're right. But it doesn't seem like I'll ever be a great painter. Q: What is the man having trouble with?M: What are you doing just sitting there daydreaming? You've got work to do!W: Before I start anything, I like to rack my brain for creativity first.Q: What does the woman like to do?W: It's a miracle! How did you finally solve the math problem?M: The answer just came to me out of a dream.Q: How did the man solve the problem?M: You're a great inventor. How do you get your great ideas?W: They usually come to me suddenly when I'm well rested and relaxed.Q: When does the woman get her great ideas?W: Please, tell me how you get ideas for your novels.M: Ideas burst into my mind while I'm walking in the park. I don't know how.Q: When does the man get ideas for his novels?W: I just can't think of a good topic for my essay! I don't know what to do! M: Try running. Exercise always helps me clear my mind and think of ideas.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do to think of a good essay topic?W: When I turned 50, ideas just started flashing in my mind. It was mysterious. M: I've heard stories like that. It's really not unusual.Q: What has the man heard before?W: I just came up with an idea for passing this test!M: Quick! Write it down! Ideas are fleeting! And it may be our only hope!Q: Why should the woman write the idea down?M: Countless great musicians and artists have created great works for the church. W: Do you think that religion gives people the ability to open their creativity? Q: What does the woman wonder?W: Years ago, it was easy for me to create new ideas. But now, I have none.M: Maybe you should see a psychologist who can help you.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?Transcript:M: You better start working! Our boss will come any moment!W: I've already seen her. And I'm doing what she told me to do.M: She told you to sit around and do nothing?W: No! She told me to rack my brain for creativity.M: What?W: To rack your brain for creativity means that you think hard for a creative answer to a problem. Before I start my work, I want to think of the best idea possible. When it flashes into my mind, I'll begin.M: Hey, that's what I was doing last week! But when she saw me doing it, she threatened to fire me!W: No. You weren't thinking of ideas. You were just sleeping. There's a big difference.。

Listening InTask 1: How I plan my HolidaysWhen I plan my holidays, I like to go where I haven’t been to before. How do I choose? The Internet is a good source of basic information. All resorts and hotels have websites and offer special prices through them. You can often book rooms cheaper on the Internet than in person. Sometimes you can get coupons that will give you a cut in the usual price. For example, I have visited Sand Beach many times. But I’d never stayed in its old town. Well, I got a coupon for aroom at half price at the Grand Hotel there. I discovered that the old town had antique shops and was generally an interesting area. I also like fine food, so I search out information on good. restaurants and try to have meals in them. Some planning can prevent a holiday from becoming a disaster and with a bit of luck make it an experience of a lifetime.1.C2. B3. B4. A5. ATask 2: Planning for the HolidaysM: Hey, Susan, my classes in this semester are over at last!W: Over? I still have two finals to take and three term papers to finish.M: Take it easy!

Some people look forward to stuffing themselves with turkey every year on Thanksgiving. Great as those are, they don’t compare with my favorite. I LOVE Halloween! Why Halloween? Well, Halloween is the night of the year when we can all get dressed up as someone else, pretend and let our imaginations run wild. Even adults get a free pass to go back to their childhood and become that kid still inside all of us. It’s also the one night of the year when we get to shine light on the dark, and confront monsters, ghosts, witches, and all things dead. We get to confront our biggest fears, as both children and adults, and reassure ourselves that there’s really no reason to be afraid of things we see at night.Christmas Thanksgiving dressed imaginations adults childhood shine confront dead reassure at nightTask 4: Introduction by a Tour GuideGood morning, passengers. Welcome aboard. We’ll be arriving in Disneyland within an hour. In the meantime, it is my pleasure to make you aware of the many historic and scenic spots along the way. And there are many indeed, so just sit back, relax and look out of the window. Before you know it, we’ll hear Mickey Mouse welcoming us.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Valentine’s DayValentine’s Day started when the Emperor Claudius II ruled Rome. Claudius punished Rome into so many wars that he had a hard time finding soldiers for his army. He thought the reason was that Roman men did not want to leave their families and lovers. To solve that problem, he cancelled marriages and engagements. But a Christian priest named Valentine who believed in love and marriage secretly married couples When the emperor learned about these marriages, he sent Valentine to prison. The priest died in prison on February 14,270. Not until a few hundred years later did Saint Valentine’s Day take its present form. Today we still honor Saint Valentine. Theold ideas of love, marriage and fertility have lasted and taken on modern meanings.1. wars finding soldiers2. families and lovers3. love and marriage4. prison February 145. fertility modern meaningsTask 2: Holiday bluesWhile for many people the holiday season is joyous and hopeful, others may find it just as stressful as interviewing for a new job. Many factors can contribute to the holiday blues. To begin with, there are more parties to attend and more shopping trips to make. But this doesn’t mean we work fewer hours or get a break from household duties—we just try to do more things in a single day. Then there are the financial burdens. The rewards of being generous to close friends and family may outweigh the price tag—and what about extended family, old friends from school, and co-workers? Don’t they deserve gifts? And finally, the holidays can be truly painful when we recall the loss of those who are no longer celebrating with us because of death, distance or divorce. However, the good news is that it’s usually possible to prevent the holiday blues by diversifying your holiday plans.T F F T TTask 3: Jingle BellsDashing through the snow,In a one-horse open sleigh. Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way.Bells on bobtails ring, Making spirits bright.What fun it is to ride and sing, A sleighing song tonight.Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way.Oh what fun it is to ride,In a one-horse open sleigh.。

Unit 10Listening skills: Identifying main eventsIf you are afraid of flying, there are specialists who can teach you how to deal with your fear and finally get rid of it.They will find out if a nearby airport has special training programs for people who are afraid to fly. Many airports do. How would such a program work?First, a specialist will take your group to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. A representative from one of the airlines will explain how an airplane flies. Then your group will sit in an airplane that stays on the ground. At a later time, you will go up in a plane for a short flight and then land. Gradually the time you spend in the air will increase. When you are prepared for it, the group will take a trip to another city.Listening in > Task 1Tony:Hey, Mary. Some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend. You interested?Mary:Gee, I don't know... where are you planning to go?Tony:Up into the mountains. We want to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts.Mary:The mountains... you mean climbing them?Tony:Sure, many places have interesting mountains, but the ones here are the most beautiful I have seen—and only a few hours' drive from here.Mary:If I were to go, I wouldn't appreciate the view. I'd have my eyes shut tight all the time. I'm scared stiff of heights.Tony:You'll be missing out on a lot of wonderful views.Mary:Oh, Tony, I really prefer to stay at the foot of the mountain.Tony:That's OK, Mary. Come anyway. You can skip the climbing—just stay in the camp and cook and clean up for us.Mary:That doesn't sound like much fun. Maybe I should try to overcome my fear of heights.Listening in > Task 2Steven went to a psychiatrist. "Doctor," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You've got to help me! I'm going crazy!""Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the psychiatrist. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears.""How much do you charge?""One hundred dollars a visit.""I'll think about it," said Steven.Six months later the doctor met Steven on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist."For one hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars.""Is that so? How?""He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"Listening in > Task 3Hi, my name's Matthew. Today, I want to talk about my love of water. I had a fear of water when I was young. That fear kept me away from water. That was because once I was pushed into the swimming pool by a classmate when I was eight and first arrived in Australia from Vietnam. That experience was horrible. I was down at the deep end, struggling, and I thought I was going to drown. The next thing that happened was my English teacher, fully clothed, jumped in and rescued me. Until that point, I'd never really wanted to learn or speak English. Then I changed. I found it to be an amazing experience. Now my fear of water is also gone. Can you believe that? I love water and I'm interested in English as well. I'm a bit more, let's say, confident when I speak English too. I'm no longer worried about my English being broken. I don't care if people laugh at me either. I just find it fun to speak English. And I don't feel ashamed of myself when other people correct the mistakes in my English. Actually, I like them to do that.Speaking out > Model 1Speaking out > Model 2Speaking out > Model 3Let's talk > Task 1I'm Helen. Well, it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents. One evening I had to prepare for a school examination. I was working in the basement at my table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house besides me. What could I do? I was terribly frightened because I knew that it must be a burglar. We had the windows open to air the room, so he must have come through one.I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard, so I decided to take it and go upstairs. While walking up the stairs, I shouted, "George, take the dog and go outside!" I wanted the burglar to think there was another person with me. The burglar must have heard me because he rushed out of the window the way he came in.Well, I was relieved, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I just wasn't able to dial the number.Let's talk > Task 2Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 1Dave:Sue, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been hiding?Sue:I have some excellent news, Dave. I won first prize in a computer software competition.Dave:That's wonderful news. What's the prize?Sue:I've won a trip to Sydney.Dave:Wow! That's great—but how will you get there?Sue:Fly, of course. It's much too far to swim.Dave:I hate flying. With just the thought of not having my feet safe on the ground, three things happen: my stomach turns, my face goes pale and I break intoa cold sweat.Sue:But if you want to travel, you have to fly.Dave:That's true. But if I were to fly, I'd have to get some medicines first. Sue:That must cause you a lot of trouble.Dave:Well, I have no other choice.Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 2While fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist overturned his boat by accident. He could swim, but he was afraid of alligators. So he just held tight on to the overturned boat. After a while he saw a coast guard officer walking close to the shore, and he got excited. He shouted at the officer, "Are there any alligators around here?""No," the man shouted back, "they haven't been around for years!"Feeling greatly relieved, the tourist started swimming lazily toward the shore.About halfway there he asked the coast guard, just out of curiosity, "How did you get rid of the alligators?""We didn't do anything," the officer answered."Wow, I'm really lucky." said the tourist.The officer then added, "The sharks got them."Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 3At a recent software engineering management course in theUnited States, the participants were given an awkwardquestion to answer: "If you boarded an airliner anddiscovered that your team of programmers was responsiblefor the flight control software, would you get off? If yes,please put up your hands." Then a forest of hands went up.One programmer called Paul Smith, however, did not put uphis hand. When asked what he would do, he replied that hewould have no fear and would be quite happy to stay on board."With my team's software," he said, "the plane would probably not even be able to taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off."Situation: John and May are at the movies watching a horror film.场景: 约翰和梅在电影院看恐怖片。

Task 3: Learning to speak English
Hello, how are you? When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries don’t speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like “Hey, what’s up?” or “Hey! Whatcha been dion’?” These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?

When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.e had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper orde r.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!his famous scientist then remarked that it was at that m oment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Answers1 D2 D3 B4 APassage 2Scripts and answershere are so many changes when a person comes to college.

Part BCamp DavidSituated in Catcotin Mountain in Maryland, Camp David has been a holiday retreat for American presidents since the 1940s.It has an office for the president and living areas for his family and guests. It includes a swimming pool and areas to play golf and other sports. No one is permitted to enter Camp David except people invited by the president. Armed guards from the U.S. Marine Corps provide security.President Franklin Roosevelt established the camp in 1942. He wanted a place where he could go to escape the summer heat of Washington. He chose this area in the mountains because it was cool in the summers and the high location made it safe. He called it Shangri-la, the name of a perfect mountain kingdom in a popular book.President Truman made the camp the official presidential holiday resort in 1945. Eight years later, President Eisenhower changed its name to Camp David for his grandson David Eisenhower.Several presidents have used Camp David for important meetings. President Roosevelt met there with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War Two.President Eisenhower in 1959 and President Carter in 1978 also used the place for talks with leaders of other countries. In July 2000, Israeli and Palestinian leaders also met at Camp David for peace talks.Questions:1. Which of the following hasn't /haven't been mentioned?2. Which of the following is/are not true about Camp David?Part cSwitzerlandSwitzerland is a land well-known for its beautiful landscape. When people think of Switzerland they often think of mountains and mountain scenery.But Switzerland is more than just a land of mountains. It is a country of highly intelligent and hardworking people.The Swiss are able to produce goods that do not need huge amounts of raw materials. Most of the raw materials used in their industries are imported from other countries. As Switzerland has no sea coast, it has to pay heavily for imported raw materials which have to be sent over long distances.For this reason the Swiss are interested only in producing precision products like watches, cameras, and other types of goods which make use of their skill and craftsmanship. The well-known Swiss watch industry is a good example of this. Small amounts of raw materials are used but a great deal of skill and precision is needed to produce a little item with so many minuteStatements:1. Switzerland is well-known for its popular mountain resorts and beautiful landscape.2. Switzerland is also a country rich in minerals and other natural resources.3. The Swiss have hopes of developing the biggest air and water transportations.4. The Swiss camera and watch industry calls for skill and precision.5. The Swiss are by nature interested in sports, especially winter sports。
