大学英语视听说教程一听力原文
英语听力Unit1How's your college life?Listening in--Task1Good morning,everyone.I'd like to welcome you to City University.I'm Betty Russell and I work in the International Students' Office.I have some important information for you.First,you must enroll by August28th.Pick up your ID card at our office.Then,you'll need to pick up a library card so you can borrow books from the library.Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you.You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school.There's no charge for students,but of course you'll have to show your ID card when you go there.Concerning medical assistance,the university has its own health center,and all services are free for enrolled students.Listening in--Task2John:Hi,Lisa.How's life on campus?Lisa:Hi,John.Oh,not so bad.Pretty good in fact.John:ls that what you think?I mean,do you like living on campus? Lisa:Yeah,l enjoy living here because there are so many people around and it's easy to make friends.What about you?Have you ever lived in a dorm before?John:No,this is my first time.Lisa:I think you'll find it quite convenient.The library,labs,sports center and other facilities are right on campus.John:That's true.The atmosphere here is different.But I guess living in town has its advantages too,like being close to the shopping center.You know,our university is so far from downtown.Lisa:But imagine commuting to classes...I mean,you would have to get up so early to get to class on time.And then going home would take so much time.John:Yeah,but what about the food here?It seems like it's the same thing in the cafeteria every day.Lisa:Well,I think the food here is OK,and if you want a change,you can eat out once in a while.John:True.Listening in--Task3There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course.He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview.Since the boy answered all the questions correctly,the interviewer decided to corner him."Tell me your choice," said the interviewer to the boy."I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult.Which option would you prefer?Think before you make up your mind."The boy thoughtfor a while and said,"My choice is one really difficult question." "Well,you have made your own choice!"said the interviewer."Tell me: Which comes first,day or night?"The boy was jolted first but he thought for a while and said,"It's the day,sir.""Why?"asked the interviewer.He was smiling."Sorry,sir,but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!"Admission to the course was thus secured.Further listening and speaking--Task1University life is a new and different experience for me.First of all,living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility,of being on my own.My parents aren't around to say,"No,you're not going out tonight."I decide everything for myself.Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect of university life that I enjoy.When I arrived on campus for my first day,I was a bit confused about where I was going.An upperclassman noticed me and asked,"Are you a new student?"When he found out I was looking for my dorm,he said,"Oh,just follow me;that's where I'm going."Now,I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm becausethere are so many friendly people around to talk with.Finally,I love having Fridays off;I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row.How did I do it in high school?I love sleeping in on Fridays.I'm sort of a party animal;it seems like I go out every Thursday night.It alsoseems like I don't get home until early the next day!My head hits the pillow and I don't move until Friday afternoon.Further listening and speaking--Task2Though it makes up50%of everyday communication,listening,it seems,is the least taught subject.Listening is more than just hearing:it requires understanding.In an educational setting,listening effectively is critical.Effective listening helps us do our assignments well,and take better notes.Doing these activities well results in better learning and,most of the time,in good grades.In a professional setting,listening is also critical.When you receive an oral message,your response must be correct.If you fail to listen to customers or clients,you may lose THEIR business,and YOUR job!In a personal setting,listening deepens your relationships.When we listen to someone,we say"You are important" without ever speaking a word.When we fail to listen,not only do we not receive the message,but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.Unit2Do you work out?Listening in--Task1I first saw Yao Ming back in1997.Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks.We had a little party to introduceourselves and to meet the players.A few of US were there when the team walked in.They looked normal;most of them were about6'4"or so.Then,a thin,baby-faced guy came in.He was about7'5".We were all amazed.We couldn't believe his size.And when he started hitting three-pointers,we were really blown away!Our guys in the U.S.didn't believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall.To convince them,we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer.Yao had always played against kids who were older than him.This was the first time he was competing with players his own age.Del Harris,then the Lakers coach,was at the camp.He fell in love with Yao Ming.He was telling everybody,"I got to have a picture with that kid.One day he's going to have a real impact on the NBA."Listening in--Task2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise.Physical exercise can make you strong and healthy.By doing some form of physical exercise every day,your level of energy will increase and you will sleep better at night.There are many different forms of physical exercise that suit the various tastes and needs of different people.Take track and field events,for example.Throwing the javelin can strengthen your arm and upper body.The long jump and high jump can strengthen your legs.Basketball,football and volleyball are alsogood forms of exercise.Be careful when choosing the right type of exercise for yourself.If your heart is weak,for example,you should start with light exercise.If you are overweight,know your limits.Don't overdo it.Listening in--Task3One day,a grandfather went golfing with his grandson.The young man was really good and the grandfather was just giving him tips.They were on Hole8and there was a tree in the way.The grandfather said,"When I was your age,I would hit the ball right over that tree." So,the grandson hit the ball and it bumped againstthe tree and landed close to where it had started."Of course,"added the grandfather,"when I was your age,the tree was only three feet tall."Further listening and speaking--Task1Sports are very important in the U.S.,for both spectators and participants.Many people have jobs where they sit for most of the day,So when they have free time,they like to take part in more physical activities.Both team sports and individual activities are popular.Youth sports are usually played either in local clubs or in schools.Most major league sports recruit their players from college or high school teams.Spectator sports are also a major part of American culture.ManyAmericans watch sports weekly,if not daily.Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheer on their local lions more choose to watch on TV and root from their own living rooms.On TV,American football,baseball and basketball are the most popular sports.Soccer has a long way to go before it is on the same level as the"big three".Although there is some overlapping,football is played in the fall,basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring and summer.American professional teams are privately owned and generally situated in major cities,so they have a large fan base to draw from.There's no government involvement in these leagues.Further listening and speaking--Task2A businessman entered a hotel and placed his umbrella in the stand.Before going upstairs,he tied a card to his umbrella.The card said:"N.B.-This umbrella belongs to a champion heavyweight boxer.Back in ten minutes."In about20minutes he returned,but the umbrella was gone.The card,however,was still there,and on it someone had written: "P.S.-Umbrella taken by a champion long-distance runner.Won't be back at all."Unit3Tell me about your friends.Listening in--Task1I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom.When I have trouble studying,or I'm worried about an exam,I just take a look at it.It is a picture of my best friends.It was taken years ago when we were in high school.It reminds me of the good times we've shared and the support their friendship still gives me today.Even though our lives have gone in different directions,the bond we created has kept us close.We update each other about what's been going on through text messaging,Facebook,and Twitter.I often get e-mails with a joke for the day,or words of comfort about some problems in my life.My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties,and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest.Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences,and has enriched the good ones.It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements,changes,and separation.Listening in--Task2As a foreign student,I have a number of problems.The biggest one is meeting people.I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems in my studies,but I'm not comfortable making friends with other students,especially local ones.Perhaps I'm worrying unnecessarily,but I find it difficult to talk to them.The primary reason is the language barrier.My English is quite standard and formal,and although that helpsme with my academic work,I have trouble understanding other students when they are just chatting.It seems I really need informal,colloquial English.Besides,there's the cultural gap.That's why it's so difficult for overseas students and native English-speaking students to really get to know each other.I really want to overcome this difficulty.I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about coursework that we share,and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee.Over coffee we could get to know each other.Another way would be to join a club on campus,because that immediately gives us something in common with other people there.Further listening and speaking--Task1One day,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Robert.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?" Then,I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of his arms.His glasses went flying.He looked up and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.My heart went out to him.As I handed his glasses,there was a big smile on his face.I helped him pick up his books.We talked all the way home,and I carried his books.Monday morning came,and there was Robert with the huge stack of books again.Over thenext four years,we became best friends.On graduation day,Robert gave aspeech on behalf of the class.He said,"I am here to tell you a story."l just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.He had planned to kill himself that weekend.He talked of how he was carrying his stuff home."Thankfully,"he said,"my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."Not until that moment did I realize that sometimes,with one small gesture,you can change a person's life.Further listening and speaking--Task2You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime.However,not everybody can make lifelong friendships.Friends sometimes misunderstand each other.For one thing,you may want your friends to be near at hand,but also you need your independence and privacy.For example,when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening at your house,sometimes you just say"no"to him or her because it is not convenient for you.Unfortunately,not all your friends understand this type of independence.Some people believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be "yes".Also,misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help.You may expect your friends to help you no matter what the circumstances are.But the fact is,your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs.This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade.The most important thing for youand your friends is to always show understanding and respect for each other.Unit4How's the weather today?Listening in--Task1We all know that people cannot control the weather.However,we can predict important short term changes in the weather.This is called weather forecasting.Many people rely on the weatherperson to provide that information,but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and your brain.For example,if you see a rainbow in a rainy evening,it means that the weather will soon be clear and fine.Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees appear very clear and near;this means that there is a lot of water vapor in the air.It is usually a sign of rain.If fog appears around sunrise,then the day will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red,then the following day will be fine.Clear,twinkling stars at night are also a sign of fine weather.Listening in--Task2M:Hey,Jane!Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?W:Yeah.They'll all be here at11sharp!I've got all the food and drinks for the barbecue,and Tom is bringing the grill.M:OK.I've got that old net;we can use it for beach volleyball.W:Oh,I forgot to tell you.I've invited Class Two and Three as well.We'll be able to have a volleyball match,one class against the other.That'll be great fun.M:Did you check the weather?I hope it's going to stay nice for the weekend.We can't have a picnic in the rain.W:No worries!I watched the weather forecast last night,and the weatherperson said it's going to be fine——maybe a little cloudy,but DEFINITELY no rain!(Next morning)M:What terrible weather!It's raining buckets!W:There's no way we can go out in that.The weatherperson is useless——I hope they had a picnic today,too.M:I don't know what's happened with the weather these days.When I was little,we never had this much rain in the summer.W:l agree.And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well?We always used to get snow in January.Now winter is more like spring! M:You're telling me.I bet it's all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that's changing the weather.W:Oh,global warming and all that.M:I guess we'll have to take a rain check on the picnic.Listening in--Task3A film crew was on location deep in the desert.One day an old man went up to the director and said,"Tomorrow,rain."The next day it rained.A week later,the old man went up to the director and said,"Tomorrow,storm."The next day there was a hailstorm."This old man is incredible,"said the director.He told his secretary to hire the old man to predict the weather.However,after several successful predictions,the man didn't show up for two weeks.Finally the director sent for him."I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,"said the director,"and I'm depending on you.What will the weather be like?"The old man shrugged his shoulders."Don'tknow,"he said."The radio broke!"Further listening and speaking--Task1You may not believe that our mental energy varies from season to season,but some people think that it does.Research has shown that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.Scientists have discovered that cool weather helps creative thinking much more than warm weather does.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.People seem to be a lot sharper in spring than they are in any other season.One reason may be that in spring,people's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bringabout great changes in nature.Fall is the next best season,then winter.Summer seems to be the best time to take a long vacation from thinking.This does not mean thatall people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of most people tend to be lowest in summer.Be aware of these facts,and you will make the most of your talents.Further listening and speaking--Task2Although he was a qualified meteorologist,Hopkins ran up a terrible record of forecasting for the TV news program.He became something of a local joke when a newspaper began keeping a record of his predictions and showed that he'd been wrong almost three hundred times in a single year.That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired.He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job.One blank on the job application asked the reason for leaving his previous position.Hopkins wrote,"The climate didn't agree with me.'Unit5What's your favorite food?Listening in--Task1Eating habits in America really get a lot of criticism.But the truthis,it depends on where in America you look.In big cities,people are becoming more health-conscious every day.This is shown by what foods they buy in supermarkets,and what restaurants they eat in.There is now a big push for"green"foods that are grown naturally.In cities like New York and Chicago,restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition.However,these habits contrast with those in America's heartland.Here,people tend to eat more traditional and fattier,such as breakfasts of eggs,bacon,sausages,toast and other greasy,but delicious foods.Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald's and the Olive Garden,which serve cheaper food,draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.Listening in--Task2W:John,I'm really hungry!M:Just get anything you want;it's on me today.I'm thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.W:Thanks.That sounds good.I love the milk shakes here.M:Me,too.McDonald's has a really special formula.W:Right.And no matter where you go in the world,you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald's. M:It's true.They also do well because of diversity.I mean,they selldifferent products according to people's tastes and preferences in different areas.W:Right.Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China.They could never sell that here!M:But I've heard that McDonald's is really losing market share in the States now,and has closed some restaurants.W:Yeah.It's just so difficult to stay competitive when there are so many fast food chains in the States.I mean there are KFC,Pizza Hut,and A&W, just to name a few.M:It seems that they're doing better overseas,'cause they're really able to sell American culture.W:Yeah.They use all the media they can,and they do a good job.Further listening and speaking--Task1Food is national and international.Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones.You can find European and Asian restaurants in most large cities.You can find Italian,French,Chinese,and Mexican restaurants in New York,Washington,San Francisco,and many other cities in the United States.You might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some American cities.American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris.In almost every country you will findrice,potatoes,eggs,bread,soup,meat,vegetables,milk,fruit,and other basic foods.People just cook them differently in different countries.People all over the world also prefer different things to drink.The English drink a lot of tea,and the French drink a lot of wine.Americans prefer coffee,milk or soda.German beer is now completely international.Children are often very conservative about new foods.In the United States they often prefer to eat thesame three or four dishes:hamburgers and French fries,hot dogs,fried chicken,and ice cream.Further listening and speaking--Task2I've always ordered my soft drinks in a simple way.For example,I might say"A Coke,please."Lately,though,this hasn't seemed to work.Servers now often respond,"Regular Coke,Diet Coke or Coke Zero?"Or,they may say:"I'm sorry,we don't have Coke.We have Pepsi,Diet Pepsi,Dr.Pepper,7-Up,Hartridges,Virgin Cola,Sprite,and Red Bull."Exhausted by listening to the long list of soft drinks,I thought I'd make life easier.So one day I simply asked the snack bar staff at a cinema for a"dark,cold,carbonated drink".The young man behind the counter smiled and asked,"Yes,sir,and would you like a long,thin,cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"Unit6Being healthy felt great!Listening in--Task1lf you're a young lady in your twenties,you may either be on a diet or wondering which diet to follow.Indeed,people are so concerned with their appearance that the word"diet"has lost its original meaning.It now has the same meaning as"weight loss diet".There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure.Then came Twiggy,a British supermodel most famous in the1960s,and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig.Because of this trend,many diets have become popular.Very often you meet young girls who look weak enough to blow away in thewind,yet they are still talking about diets!However,extreme diets can lead to health problems.Many such dieters may end up with very serious eating disorders.Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite;Karen Carpenter,a popular singer of the1970s,died of loss of appetite.You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at the risk of your healthor your life.Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good.Listening in--Task2(D=Doctor,male;S=Student,female)D:Hello,I'm Dr.Black.How're you feeling?S:I'm not feeling well,doctor.D:What seems to be the problem?S:I don't know.I just feel tired all the time.I want to sleep all day.I'm not interested in studying or being with people.D:How long has this been going on?S:Almost one month now.D:Are there any other symptoms?S:I'm just tired.D:DO you have many friends?S:I don't really have many here.I'm an international student.D:I imagine that many things in your life here are different from your life at home.S:Yeah,my life's changed a lot.Food,customs,socializing...Even body language and gestures are all different from what I'm used to in my own country.D:How long have you lived here?S:Almost three months now.It seems much longer;it's a struggle for me to get used to the new way of life here.D:Hmm.Well,let's check you over.(a few minutes later)Well,I don't see anything physically wrong with you.Your heart is strong.Your lungs are clear.Your blood pressure is normal.S:Then what do you think is wrong with me,doctor?D:Your problem seems to be culture shock.Sometimes when people move to a new location,especially a new country,they experience culture shock. Sometimes this culture shock can be serious,and people become very depressed.I suggest that you try to spend some time each week with people from your own culture.S:But my teachers tell me to speak English all the time.D:I understand,but right now we need to deal with your symptoms.Follow my advice,and you'll feel better.S:How long does this last?D:Culture shock lasts for a while and then begins to disappear.The length of time varies from person to person.If you aren't feeling better in two or three weeks,please call me again.Further listening and speaking--Task1While every university in America have their own policies and creates their own rules,most provide some type of medical service or health insurance for students,especially large universities.If students have a cold,or other illnesses,they can see a doctor,and they may also seek medical advice on a range of issues.Free testing for STDs such as HIV is a major part of disease prevention——sharing important information about the epidemic is alsoimportant.If students need a major operation or procedure,they must seek outside assistance,but the school may help them to make the arrangements.Smaller universities and colleges are not likely to provide in-depth medical assistance;they usually deal with small problems in housing,and assist students in taking care of major issues off campus.Universities and colleges without student housing do not offer medical services.Further listening and speaking--Task2There's nothing gradual about the flu.It hits you like a hammer.One minute you're feeling fine,and the next you can be shivering,burning up,and then shivering again.In minutes,your legs become weak and your body aches in places that have never hurt before.Influenza can break out so suddenly that people can sometimes say,"It hit me at exactly nine last night."But whether the flu strikes at night or on the bus to school,there's just one thing a victim wants to do:lie down in bed.A healthy person can fight off the flu in three to five days,though coughing and tiredness can last two more weeks.An attack of the flu is often followed by another illness.Doctors recommend that old people,or people of any age with heart or lung problems,get a flu vaccine every year.Because flu viruses change all the time,a new vaccine must be prepared each year to protect against future attacks.Unit7How much does it cost?Listening in--Task1Malls are popular places in the United States.People like malls for many reasons.They feel safe because malls have private security guards and sometimes even police stations.Parking is usually free,and the weather inside is always fine.The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota.It covers4.2million square feet.It has350stores,eight nightclubs,and a seven-acre park!There are parking spaces for12,750cars.About750,000people shop there every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in1965in Minnesota,but now malls are like town centers where people come to do many things.They shop,eat foods from all over the world,and see movies at theaters.Some people even get their daily exercise from the new sport of"mall walking".Others go to malls to meet friends.In some malls,people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church.Basically,people can do just about anything in malls.Listening in--Task2W:Hey,Don,online shopping is so popular nowadays.Where is a good place to buy electronics online?。

What’s that?Kate ：Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet ：What a great idea! I’d love to join you!Mark ：That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list of things we need to do.Kate ：I’ll do that.

Kate, I think it’s your turn to punt!Outside viewV/O （画外音）Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university’s Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.AlexHarvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of government, for the John F. Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.V/O （画外音）We asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.AshleyUm, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and … Um, there’s a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s what I do.AdamIt is whatever you want it to be. It’s go od. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.BrianSocially, like you said, it’s, it’s a lot of what you make it. Um, we don’t have fraternities here, and so, you know, that’s, it’s obviously not as social. There’s not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o’clock. And then we, and then we’ll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. JodieNot everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it’s, I think it’s a fun place to be.Interviewer: Have you made a lot of friends?Jodie : Oh, definitely.Interview. ：Mm.Jodie: Many.Interviewer: What, what do you do with your friends?Jodie: Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I’m in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.V/O （画外音）We asked the Harvard students if they use the Internet.Ashley: Um, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that a lot.And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so.Interviewer: So how often do you use it, a week, a day?Ashley: Um, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week. Brian: Oh yes, definitely. We live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet, follow my stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even though e-mail isnot officially Internet, we, that’s how we communicate a lot at college, so, through thee-mail.John: Um, I use the internet mostly for, er, I’d say, sort of leisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don’t, we don’t have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there’s some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to see what’s happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don’t usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so.Listening inPassage 1Voice-overHi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers –now half-way through their first year –the question, “How are you finding uni?” Here are some of the answers we got.Speaker 1It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to g et to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already.Speaker 2I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month –that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3“How am I finding uni?” It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I –I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and gettinggood grades.Speaker 4Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently –yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah –I’m feeling a lot happier now.Speaker 5Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem –and it’s quite a big problem – is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t –it’s just not e nough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage 2Oxford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as “Ox bridge”. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world’s best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modern universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridg e’s comedy clubFootlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK’s most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, whic h takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.Unit 2 Mixed feelingsInside viewConversation 1Kate ：Come in. Hey, Janet.Janet ：Hi Kate, are you busy?Kate ：Yes, I’m just doing an essay. But it’s great to see you. So what’s new?Janet ：Well, nothing much.Kate ：You look a bit fed up. What’s bugging you?Janet ：Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made me feel homesick. It happens every time they call, and it gets me down.Kate ：I’m sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable after the call.Janet ：My dad doesn’t say much, and I want to speak to him, but I wish I knew what to say. Kate ：Don’t let it get to you. My dad doesn’t say much on the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says, “Hi, I’ll pass you to your mother.” It’s really irritating.Janet ：But I miss him and my mother a lot, and I like to hear his voice.Kate ：Just tell him what you’re up to.Janet ：Sometimes I feel as if I made a mistake leaving home and coming to Oxford.Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager.Kate ：Try not to worry about it, Janet. It’s normal to feel like that. I understand how you feel, butI bet everything will be fine next term. You’ll get used to it. Hey, why don’t you do what Ido?Janet ：What’s that?Kate ：When my dad calls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I get to hear his voice!Janet ：Maybe. I’m sorry to take up your time, Kate, but I must go now. Bye!Kate ：Wait a minute …!Conversation 2Kate ：I think I may have upset Janet last night.Mark : What happened?Kate ：She came to see me. I was busy doing an essay but I was r eally pleased to see her. She’d had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick.Mark : Poor kid! It must be tough on you guys, living so far away from home.Kate ：I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, “I must go now”and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if I’d said something wrong.Mark ：Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were workingand didn’t want to disturb you.Kate ：I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to make her laugh? Perhaps she thought I wasn’t taking her s eriously.Mark ：I wouldn’t worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel if you were a student at college in China?Kate ：I know. That’s why I feel bad. If only she had stayed longer! I wish I could have helped her more.Janet ：Hey, everyone!Mark ：Hi Janet, you look cheerful!Janet ：Yes, I’ve just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus!Kate ：What an amazing grade! Well done.Mark ：I’m really happy for you, Janet.Janet ：I feel on top of the world!Outside viewSebastienHi. I’m Sebastien. I’m from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while, but recently there’s been this new idea of the EQ – your emotional quotient. And by now, it’s actually almost being regarded as more important.If you look at it, businesses will ... Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, (I)mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with other people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference betweenIQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a “brainiac”, and they will be great at most things they do, but if you just can’t get along with him, if you just can’t communicate with him, I mean, you know, he’s not really that useful.KimHi. This is Kim. I’m originally from Korea, and I was raised in Cali fornia. And today, we are going to talk about the differences between IQ and EQ –IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in … When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take … I think I’d taken like two or three IQ tests before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about … It’s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel. I think they’re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there’s a better mixture of the two I think. There’s a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My name is Ted, and I’m from the United States of America. Today, I’m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ – which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “IQ. What’s your IQ? Take an IQ test.” But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they’re … that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ – how you deal with people, how you interact with people – is important. Now, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I’m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening – listening to others – and it can be more important than IQ.Listening inPassage 1Presenter: We’re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has just written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world of advertising. It’s called Market Colours. Dr Hudson, which are the most common colours in advertising and marketing?Dr Hudson :Well, of course, it depends what image the marketing team wish to project with their products. So for example, we often think of blue as a cold colour, but it also makes you feel peaceful, quiet, and it doesn’t suggest strong emotions. So it’s a favourite for ban ks and insurance companies, who wish to suggest the image that they are trustworthy. And for selling products, it’s often used to suggest something is pure and fresh.Presenter: What about red?Dr Hudson: You can sell almost anything with red. It’s a hot colour, which suggests a feeling of energy and even passion. It grabs your attention, and can make people buy almost anything. You often see red on magazine covers. But if you use it too much, it looks cheap and may make people tired. And orange has a sim ilar effect to red, it’s upbeat and happy, it suggests pleasant feelings and images. Most people react well to orange, and it’s especially popular in advertising and on packaging for baked food.Presenter: What about yellow, for instance?Dr Hudson: Yell ow is the colour of sunshine and it’s a positive, happy colour, so it’s used a lot in advertising. But it’s also often used for warning signs, direction signs, and so on, where you have to read the message quickly and at a distance.Presenter: What about less popular colours for advertising?Dr Hudson: Surprisingly, green isn’t used much in advertising except for garden products. It’s friendly and restful. It can be cool and soothing, the colour of apples and mint, but it can also be quite strong and many people associate it with unpleasant ideas of decay or slimy creatures. But most colours are not primary colours, they’re a combination. Absolutely. So yellow-orange is common, and often used to give animpression of style and class, it looks like gold. But it’s not often used in letters because it’s not very strong. And yellow-green reminds people of feeling sick. Blue-green works well as a cool colour, suggesting freshness, and is sometimes used for toothpaste products, bathroom products, food and household cleaning products. It has many of the advantages of blue without the disadvantages of green.Presenter: Fascinating！Thank you very much, Dr Hudson. Market Colours by Dr Jenna Hudson is on sale from next week, priced ￡15.99 …Passage 2Presenter ：What makes you embarrassed, Sally?Sally ：Oh, I’m easily embarrassed. If anybody notices me or looks at me, I get very emb arrassed.When people sing me Happy Birthday on my birthday, I get very embarrassed. Presenter ：And what makes you upset?Sally ：When people are selfish, people who think only of themselves. And cruelty –I can’t bear people who are cruel, especially to animals or children.Presenter ：Jake, what makes you depressed?Jake ：I hate it when it rains, and I don’t like people who look down on me, who think they’re superior to me without any reason.Presenter ：And what makes you angry?Jake ：When people don’t behave properly in public, bad behaviour like dropping litter or people pushing each other on the bus or the train.Presenter ：Andrew, what makes you cheerful?Andrew ：I like to see everyone around me being happy and having a positive attitude towards the future, optimistic people.Presenter ：And what makes you jealous?Andrew ：Well, to be honest, I just never feel jealous. I can’t see the point of it.Presenter ：Monica, what makes you proud?Monica ：I’m proud when I’m successful, especially in my work. Being recognized by my boss for what I can do makes me feel really proud. Oh, and my family. I’m very proud ofthem.Presenter ：And what makes you nervous?Monica ：Every time I teach a new class. The night before I’m very nervous. You don’t know wh at the kids are going to be like and how they might behave, or if they’re going tolike you.Presenter ：Anything else?Monica ：Doing interviews like this.Unit 3 Crime watchInside viewConversation 1Kate ：So, what did you think of the movie?Mark ：It was good but I thought it was too long.Kate ：Yes, me too.Kate ：Hey, where’s my bike? I don’t believe it! It’s gone!Mark ：It was next to mine, you chained it up!Kate ：Someone’s stolen it! Oh, how could they!Mark: Oh, Kate!Kate ：How could someone have done this! The creep!Mark ：It’s a really mean thing to do, steal a bike.Kate ：It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune –I don’t have the money to buy another one. Mark ：Listen, I’ll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don’t you go into that shop and see if they’ve seen anything suspicious? I’ll be back in a minute.Kate ：OK.…Kate ：Well?Mark ：No luck. What did they say in the shop?Kate ：I asked the shopkeeper if she’d seen anything –Mark ：And?Kate ：She said she hadn’t. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police.But according to her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.Mark ：Listen, let’s get back so you can report it.Kate ：I’ve got no bike. I’m just so upset!Mark ：It’s not far to college. Come on!Conversation 2Mark ：So did you ring the police?Kate ：Yes. I went to the police station to report it.Mark ：What did they say?Kate ：No one’s found it. This woman said that Oxford has the fifth highest rate of bike theft in the country!Mark ：You’re joking!Kate ：That’s what she said.Mark ：What else did she say?Kate ：She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back – the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and then people find them and report them.Mark ：So you might get it back.Kate ：I hope so, Mark, I really do. It’s just too much you know? But … um … what else? She told me to go to this sale they have of abandoned bikes. She thinks I might find it there.But it’s only every two months, I can’t wait till then! Honestly, Mark, I’m really furious! Mark ：You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.Kate ：Hello … Speaking … You found it! Where was it? Is it …? Oh, that’s fantastic news!There was a lamp and a basket on it … Right … OK, thank you, I’ll be in tomorrowmorning to pick it up. Unbelievable! This guy found it!Mark ：Brilliant! Was that the police?Kate ：Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside this guy’s backyard.Mark ：That’s so strange!Kate ：The lamp’s been stolen and the basket.Mark ：Forget about it! You’re lucky to get it back!Outside viewPart 1Presenter: Dodgy deals aren’t the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your door step presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home.I’m joined now by Ian Holt, from Thames Valley Police. Ian, just outline for me what does distraction burglary actually entail?Ian Holt: Well basically wh at happens is, somebody uses a story to get inside somebody’s house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.Presenter: And what are the different techniques that are commonly used?Ian Holt: Well basically the er … the people that commit this crime move from area to area, er … they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may beer, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property. Somet hing that indicates that there’s, there’s a vulnerable person in there. It … usually, it’s an elderly person that lives there.Presenter: Is this quite a common problem now?Ian Holt: It is becoming more common. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary. But, it … there’s a slight increase this year over last year’s figures.Presenter: OK, you mentioned some of the victims being elderly. What other people are targeted? Ian Holt: Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there’s such a thing as a, a victim for this type of crime, is a white female aged 81 years.Part 2Presenter: And what about things that people can do to prevent it happening, basically?Ian Holt: Well the things they can do are very, very simple. The difficulty comes, is that some of these people, er … it’s very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the three things we, we always say is: stop, chain and check. And that’s stop before you open the door to make sure who’s on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven’t got a chain, fit a chain to the door, or a door bar if you’ve got diffic ulty in handling a chain with arthritic fingers.But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from the Water Board or from utilities. They may say they’re from a charity or even from local authority. But generally, a utility will be in uniform.Ask for their identification. A genuine person will not mind you doing that and will wait until you can check them out. If you do need to check them, phone the number on, on your last bill. What won’t happen is that if it is a bogus caller, they will become unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.Presenter: OK and there’s also a couple of gadgets new on the market that also can help as well.Just talk us through that.Ian Holt:Certainly, yes. The … a spy er … viewer is fairly standard. But for elderly who may have poor eyesight there’s a spyscope which actually makes it a lot easier for them to see who’s outside. As I mentioned before about the door bar, again, it can be easier to apply than the chain. Very reasonable priced er, and something that is fairly new … as I mentioned before it’s verydifficult for some of these people to remember what they have to do when they go to the door and that’s why they become victims. And this item is calle d a Memo Minder and actually you can record a message on there and it’s nice to have a grand-daughter or somebody to record a message, but every time the person approaches the door it reminds them with a voice to say “Putyour chain on.”Listening inPassage 1Patrick ：I read a funny story today in the paper – true story.Steve：Go on, then.Patrick ：OK. This 72-year old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when hecame out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caughtup with him. The man then bit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve ：He bit the policeman?Patrick：Yes – you have to remember, he was 72.Steve ：I’d forgotten that.Patrick ：Problem was, it didn’t hurt the policeman at all, ’cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before he left home.Steve ：Very funny!Patrick ：And the moral of the story is –Steve：Always remember to wear your false teeth if you’re going to bite someone.Patrick ：That’s good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let’s see … yeah … this guy … this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America –I can’t remember where exactly – anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he’d stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, “Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I’m wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I’d taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you.”Steve ：He was probably telling the truth.Patrick ：He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call – the guy was ringing from a phonebooth – and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve ：That’s good. Stupid guy! I’ve got another true story … This – this – old guy was in court for some crime – and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said,“My client pleads not guilty.” The man suddenly woke up, but wasn’t sure what washappening. He jumped up and shouted, “I plead guilty! I plead guilty!”Patrick：So what happened?Steve ：The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick ：That’s the best, I think.Passage 2Presenter ：You’r e listening to Kevin Fallon and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone –and it’s a very frighteningexperience. So it’s positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a。

Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to 6) participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been 7)identified that undermine the negotiator’s position, two of which, in particular, are directness and 8) impatience. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals.

How did Obama pay his tuition in Harvard?By taking out hefty student loans.Home listeningA person’s motivation is combination of desire and energy directed at achieving a goal.1)influencing someone’s motivation means getting him or her to want to do what you know must be done.People can be motivated by beliefs, values, interests, fear, 2) worthy causes, and other such forces. Some of these forces are 3)internal, such as needs, interests, and beliefs. Others are external, such as danger, the environment, or 4) pressure from a loved one. There is no simple formula for motivation —you must keep an open viewpoint on human nature. There is a 5)complex array of forces steering the direction of each person, and these forces cannot always be seen or studied. Also, if the same forces are steering two different people, each one will act differently. Knowing that different people react to different needs will 6)guide your decisions and actions in certain situations.As a leader you have the power to influence motivation. You should allow the needs of your people to coincide with the needs of your organization. Nearly all people are influenced by the need for job 7)_security promotion, raises, and approval from their peers and leaders. Internal forces such as values, morals and ethics also influence them. Likewise, the organization needs good people in a wide variety of jobs. Ensure that your people are trained, 8)_encouraged, and provided the opportunity to grow. Ensure that the way you conduct business has the same values, morals and ethical principles that you seek in your people. 9)_If you conduct business in a dishonest manner, your people will be dishonest to you.You should also reward good behavior. 10)_Although a certificate, letter or a thank you may seem small, they can be powerful motivators. The reward should be specific and prompt. Do not say, ―for doing a good job.‖ Cite the specific action that made you believe it was a good job. In addition, help your people who are good. We all make mistakes or need help to achieve a particular goal.Unit 6T&FF 1.Mr. and Mrs. Scarola feel very lucky since both of them have tickets. (She got a ticket.

How many soccer fans went to Germany to support their team for the last World Cup?Over 100,0002. How long did British fans stay in Germany to support their team?Three weeks.3. What are the major concerns of England fans about going to South Africa?High costs and security.4. What does Neil Maclaurin say about British fans?They are big followers of sports. /They are very passionate.5. Why did British fans travel to South Africa in June 2009?To support the Lions Rugby Team.Home listeningWe all know of cases where negative fan behavior has driven some athletes to perform at less than their best or perhaps even knock them completely out of a competition. ―Athletes want to live up to a high paying 1) contract as well as fan expectations. It is the same with Olympians who 2)strive to live up to expectations. Athletes may say they are immune to fans, but we know better. They are like teenagers who say they don’t care what their parents think,‖ said Daniel L.Wann, who heads the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) Special Interest Group on Fandom.According to Wann, there has been a good deal of research on fans and their ability to pump up the home team or negatively 3) impact on the visiting team. ―Some athletes thrive under this pressure and others don’t. This is where a sports psychology 4) consultant can help.‖ Wann has been studying the psychology of sports spectators since the mid 1980s, with a particular interest in fan identification (i.e., a fan’s psychological connection to a team), spectator 5) violence, and the actions of parents as spectators at youth sporting events.A Professor of Psychology at Murray State, Wann works with athletes, teaching them how to6) address fan behavior. He helps them develop their mental abilities, while the coaches focus on their physical skills. ―The key is for 7)athletes to learn to compartmentalize what they pay attention to, to be able to tune out the fans but not the coaches. They need to be 8)selective between valuable information (from coaches or teammates) ver sus noise (from fans).‖Just as athletes are involved in their sports for a variety of reasons, fans are motivated for different reasons. 9) It is important to remember that fans are driven by a variety of motives. You can’t paint them with one brush strok e. Some are driven by the entertainment of the sports, some want to see a good contest. 10) Some are there for social reasons, while others are there to see beautiful plays.Unit 7T&FT 1.For most Japanese retirement means the start of a second life.F 2.Many senior citizens in Japan continue working mainly due to labor shortage.

How does Mrs. Zhou benefit from her stay at Sijiqing?Thanks to the therapy there，her leg problem has become better.3. Why was it not easy for Mrs. Zhou to get into Sijiqing?She had to wait for several years to get a spot because demand for a place there was so high.4. How many senior citizens Beijing want to live in a nursing home?Over 3oo,ooo5. According to the video, what is the ratio of nursing home beds to the senior population in China?1.6 to 100.Home listeningTraditionally, retirement communities and nursing homes have been the destination of senior citizens. But more and more older Americans want to grow old in familiar 1) surroundings To them, the focus is on staying in their own homes and living in a community with neighbors who have babies or school age children.It is a 2) trend called aging-in-place. But, many people recognize, to remain in their home as long as possible, they are going to need some help. So, they have joined a group called Capitol Hill Village.This is a fee-based organization aimed 3) primarily at senior citizens. Its executive director, Gail Kohn, organizes volunteers to help members, and if they need 4) additional services, she manages a referral list of reliable 5) contractors. ―We have a vendor and that vendor is going to provide a service and then we 6) arrange with the vendor to call our member,‖ she explains.Kohn coordinates volunteers and finds 7)reliable plumbers, electricians and other repairmen for her senior citizen members. ―We aim at helping them do what needs to be done in order for them to live as 8) comfortably as possible.‖Capitol Hill Village is one model of innovative programs designed to 9)allow senior citizens to remain in their homes and part of their communities. William Daroff of United Jewish Communities says, ―10)Our older Americans can be seen as a great resource. If you look back at how we dealt with folks who were aging 20, 30 years ago, it wasn’t very creative, not very innovative. But today’s 70 year old is more like yesterday’s 50 year old.‖ Unit8T&FT1.

Who can provide us with free spam filters?Our e-mail or internet service provider.Home listening1)Traditional computer viruses were first widely seen in the late 1980s, and they come about because of several factors. The first factor was the spread of personal computers (PCs). Prior to the 1980s, home computers were nearly non-existent or they were toys. Real computers were rare, and they were locked away for use by 2) experts. During the 1980s, real computers started to spread to businesses and homes because of the 3) popularity of the IBM PC (released in 1982) and the Apple Macintosh (released in 1984). By the late 1980s, PCs were widespread in businesses, homes and college 4) campuses.The second factor was the use of computer bulletin boards. People could dial up a bulletin board with a modem and download programs of all types. Games were extremely popular, and so were simple word 5)processor spreadsheets and other 6)productivity software. Bulletin boards led to the precursor of the virus known as the Trojan horse. A Trojan horse is a program with a cool-sounding name and 7) description, so it tricks people into downloading it. Whenyou run the program, however, it does something ―uncool‖ like erasi ng your disk. You think you are getting a neat game, but it wipes out your system. Trojan horses only hit a small number of people because they are quickly discovered, the 8) infected programs are removed and word of the danger spreads among users.The third factor that led to the creation of viruses was the floppy disk. In the1980s, programs were small, 9) and you could fit the entire operating system, a few programs and some documents onto a floppy disk or two. Many computers did not have hard disks, so when you turned on your machine it would load the operating system and everything else from the floppy disk. 10)Virus authors took advantage of this to create the first self-replicating programs.。

Unit 8-Conversation 1Mark: Look, there's a careers fair on at the Examination Schools. Do you want to go?Janet: What happens in a careers fair?Mark:There are lots of different companies and they give you information about careers .advice, that kind of thing. Janet: OK, I'll come. You coming, Kate?Kate: Yeah, sure. But I've already decided on my career. Mark: We know. You're going to be a brilliant lawyer. Kate: That's the plan — I'm off to a law firm soon as I get my degree.Janet: You're so lucky. I wish I knew what I wanted to do. Kate: Didn't you say something about teaching?Janet: Yes, I'm thinking about it. I'm quite attracted to teaching. But I'm not really sure yet.Kate: Well, you've got lots of time. What about you, Mark? What are your plans?Mark: I'm going to row for England.Kate: Seriously?Mark: No. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you've got to plan ahead— starting at the age of 12.Janet: So we're not doing very well.Mark: No.Kate: So?Mark: Well ... I'm thinking of going into business management. It's a possibility.Janet: Really?Mark: Yes.Kate: Hey, let's go to the Careers Fair. It might give you some ideas.Janet: It was very interesting, wasn't it? You were having a long conversation with that man from the law firm.Kate: Yes. They said there's a possibility of a job placement as an intern over the summer. They're going to let meknow about it.Janet: Fantastic!Unit 8-Conversation 2Kate: You know that job placement I told you about —they've asked me to go for an interview.Janet: That's brilliant. When?Kate: Two weeks' time ...Interviewer: So what made you decide to study law, Kate? Kate: A number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I've got a good brain, a good memory. And I'd certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money's good.Interviewer: Well, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV's very good. I seem to remember that you only want the work placement for six weeks. Is that right? Kate: Yes, it is.Interviewer: Why is that?Kate: Well, to be honest, I'm planning to go back to the States and spend time with my family. Kate: I've got some idea but obviously, what I'd like to know is, what does the job involve?Interviewer: Of course. Well, for the first few weeks, your main responsibility would be to read files and summarize them. We'd also want you to do some research for us. How does that sound? Rather boring?Kate: No, not at all. I think I'd learn a lot.Interviewer: Good, well ... you'll be taking your first year exams soon, won't you?Kate: Yes, in a few weeks' time.Interviewer: Well, provided they're OK, I think we can say you're in.Kate: Thank you — that's wonderful!Ka t e: Hey, guess what?Janet: What?Kate: They've accepted me. I start at the end of June. Janet: Well done!Unit 8-Outside viewEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.Unit 8-Listening inNews report-per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is £11,000, which is less than the minimum income. Librarians make between £19,500 and £29,500 annually, depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain?2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news report?Passage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all going?Speaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for you?Speaker 2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's have a look at your file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you'd like to do?Speaker 2I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1 That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be a literary editor?Speaker 2That's right.Speaker 1 Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature. For example, there's educational publishing, professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing, such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but... you get the idea.Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher's Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates. Speaker 2I'll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying English always want to be an editor, they're quite romantic about it, but there are other departments - marketing, sales, and the production side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful. But it's literary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy?Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, I was frightened I'd go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It's the grammar I find difficult, there's so much to cover.Jessica It's extraordinary, isn't it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a teaching English course and discover we don't know anything.Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica? Jessica Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan —Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really - the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time.Patrick So you're teaching English because you want to travel?Jessica Yes, that's part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it's a good career. Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do next? Jessica Marketing, I think. I'm going to do a year here, then -1 hope - get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that's the plan. Patrick Sounds good.Harry What about you, Patrick? Where have you worked? Patrick I did three years in Italy - Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn. Harry. Harry Well, I'm not like you and Jessica. I'm just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.Jessica You don't see teaching English as a career?Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway. Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry?Harry I did a year's teaching in Brazil - Rio de Janeiro —such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.Patrick Cool. And then?-Harry Two years in Mexico City ...Jessica You should be a travel writer.Harry I'm too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived fromSpain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primaryschool kids.Lucy Great!Harry Well, we're all giving our reasons for teachingEnglish, so what's yours, Lucy?Lucy Um -I think I'm going to really enjoy it, simple asthat. And obviously it's great to be in Italy. I mean Venice,what more can you ask?。

Ideal job1 hey r u going to get a master degree after graduation?2 OH YES. Nowadays, you cannot find a decent job without a master degree. It seems that the bachelor degree worth less and less day by day.1 so what is your ideal job after your graduation?2 since I am majoring in ancient architecture, maybe I will devote my life to protect,mend,and administrate ancient architectures.1 wow that is a cool job. But it is uncommon. Was there any disagreement when u choose it?2 em yes…actually, I went through a period of tough time trying to convince my parents to respect my choice. I love ancient things, but they just think this major have a low employment rate. They were worried about my future. I think they have every reasons to think so, because the jobs of ancient architecture is not as common as the jobs of humanity and social science.1 but u ended up in the school of archaeology. how did the problem be solved?2 well, they love me after all. So gradually, they begin to understand me.1 wow u must do a lot to make it happen. the job really suit u. why do you choose this job? Why u choose ancient architecture as ur major? How do u like the job.2 like ive said, I love ancient things. When I look at them, i can imagine the old times from it. That kind of feeling is glamourous. Besides that, I can touch them in the working process. U must know that I always dreamed of touching the antiques that are locked in the museums. Every part of the work is attractive, that is why I choose it.1 u r really into the job. do u have difficulties finding the job.2Well Ive tried to find a internship of the work, but denied for I am not experience enough. Maybe at my senior year, I’ll be capable of an internship. No matter what happens I wont change my mind.1 thank u for answering all the questions, and good luck with ur job.2 thank u.Hobbies and interests1 hey what do you like to do when u have free time?2well, I love to go shopping, and I do that either when I am in need of something or just feel I want to shoping-which isn’t often! When I face up with all kind of tasks, I will buy something.I think it can help relieve my stress. Only trying on beautiful clothes can make me happy. I just like wondering around seeing all the gorgeous things.1 don’t u think go shopping often is a waste of time and money?2 oh that is misunderstanding. Sometimes I will shopping online. Buying things on taobao can be such a bargain. And go shopping can be a good exercise. U see, after a whole day of shopping, u must feel exhausted, which means have walked a long distance.I yeah I see. Apart from shopping, do u have other hobbies?2 em, I love cooking. when I came home for vacations, I will spend some time cooking. I think cooking is a must in our life. and a good chef can improve the quality of our life.1 ohh nice! U do know how to enjoy our life. What is your specialty dish(拿手菜)?2 I can cook a lot of meals. And I think the mashed potato salad is my specialty dish. No one ever said it is not delicious after tasting it.1 u must proud of it.2definitly! But it is a pity that I cannot cook Chinese traditional dishes very well.1 why?2 I cant bear the lampblack. And it is said to be not healthy. So I try to avoid those kind of dishes.1 but u are a Chinese after all. There is no chance that u avoid Chinese food once and for all.2 yeah that is right. So I am learning how to cook that from my grandma. I think in the near futureI will be able to cook authentic Chinese food.1 then good luck with it.2 thank uHow to keep fit1 it seems that your body shape are always maintain in a healthy way.2 oh really?1 How do u keep fit?2To be honest ,I don’t think I am healthy e nough. I do follow a strict diet. Every day I will eat about 4-6 kinds of vegetable, some fruit, and staple food that provides energy. I work out occasionally, which is why I think I am not so healthy.1 oh u r so strict with yourself. From my point of view, your body looks just fine!2 ahh thank u. i just think I am not strong. I mean, being lack of exerci se wouldn’t help building my muscles which I believe is an important part to judge whether one is healthy or not.1 yes u r right. But before that ,many people are struggling to lose weight nowadays. Can u share some tips to keep weight or even lose weight?2 of course. Like I’ve already said, following a healthy diet is significant. It provides the nuitrition we need. Also, working out a lot helps to build up our body shape.1 so what exercise do u do in daily life?2 well for me, sit-up is a must. Not only because it is a part of TICE, it can turn the fat on my belly into muscle. I think a plain belly is needed when pursuing a good-looking body shape.1 yes that is right. But besides that, what else do u do to keep fit?2 em… I go swimming frequently. It is considered as one of the most energy-consuming exercises. And when I swim, I wont get sweaty. That feeling is great.1 yeah that feeling is great! But swimming in winter can be troublesome. u have to take off all your clothes. Do you often swim in winter?2 nope. I do yoga when it is getting cold. U see, u can do yoga everywhere as long as there is a quiet place that can peace ur mind. Yoga is the best choice if u want to find your inner peace.1 yes. Ur advice are helping. Thanks for sharing.。
