Bye!Part 2 Listening and Note-TakingMountain Rescue Service/When an accident is reported to the Mountain Rescue Service the first thing that happens is that the person who reports the accident is closely questioned.The rescue group needs to find out a number of details. First, they need to know exactly where the accident happened, with a map reference if possible. Then they will want to know the time of the accident. They will also need to know how many people were involved in the accident and what kind of injuries there were. Finally, they will ask for other useful details, such as the colour of the victim's clothing and the weather conditions.Then the rescue team's call-out procedure begins. Team members keep their personal equipment at home so as to be ready to set off within fifteen minutes of receiving the call. The advance party of about four people sets off right away. They carry a radio telephone with them to send details to the main party and to the base. They are also equipped and trained to give immediate medical assistance.The main party follows the advance party. They carry a radio telephone and more supplies,including a stretcher for the victim. The third party on the mountain is the back-up group. Their job is to help the main party on its return journey.Rescue control is set up in a mobile base. This vehicle carries the team's supplies other than personal equipment. It is equipped with radio telephone and themeans of providing hot food and drinks. The base is set up near a telephone so that extra help, for example ambulance, doctor,helicopter or reserves, can be contacted without delay.Exercise A:1.

What’s more, ov erweight is on the rise, even as popular culture continues to celebrate slimness, to the point of embracing fashion models as standards of female beauty.【A couple of different forces are pushing Americans toward overweight, even though we value slenderness. First, broad changes have conspired to make many adults feel stressed at home and work, from corporate downsizing to being a single parent. They eat as a form of release. People are eating more because it’s a form of gratification.Second, Americans live in the only country in the world where pie-eating contests are old-fashioned fun, and all-you-can-eat restaurants dot the landscape.Many obesity experts believe that cultural standards of slenderness are primarily embraced by white Americans, to whom slimness becomes more important with increasing income. Yet blacks, particularly black women, don’t necessarily buy into the slim-is-better philosophy.If there is greater acceptance of overweight among black women, it’s unclear whether it promotes their higher-than-average rates of overweight or results from them. One thing is certain: this high prevalence of overweight among blacks is not genetic. Obesity is not an issue for blacks native to Africa. The low householdincomes of many blacks living in the U.S. may play a major role in their high levels of overweight. If you’re poor, your learn to eat foods that yield the greatest amount of energy fro the lowest cost--that’s fat.B: C B B CCACAC: 1, They know that eating immoderate quantities of French fries and pizza can lead to overweight.2, People are eating more because it’s a form of gratification3, Americans live in he only culture in the world where pie-eating contests are old-fashioned fun, and all-you-can-eat restaurants dot the landscape.4, It is not genetic.~5, Because they are poor and have to learn to eat foods that yield the greatest amount of energy for the lowest cost--- that’s fat.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1One in three of us will be diagnosed with cancer during our life. The disease tends to affect older people —but can strike at any time. Excluding certain skin cancers, there were more than 270,000 new cases of the disease in 2001 —and the rate is increasing by about 1% a year. Some cancer, such as breast, are becoming more common, while new cases of lung cancer fall away due to the drop in the number of smokers. However, while the overall number of new cancers is not falling, the good news is that successful treatment rates for many of the most common types are improving rapidly.Exercise A：This news item is about the present situation of cancer.Exercise B:1. One in three of us will be diagnosed with cancer during our life.disease tends to affect older people--but can strike at any time.@3. The rate is increasing by about 1% a year4. New cases of lung cancer fall away due to the drop in the number of smokers5., The good new is that successful treatment rates for many of the most common types are improving rapidly.News Item 2A new World Bank study warns that HIV and AIDS may damage African economies far worse than had been believed. The reports said African nations with high rates of AIDS could see as much as half of their entire domestic product disappear within 90 years. The study shows that AIDS kills mostly young adults. Many children are then left without parents. It said children whose parents die of AIDS are less likely to complete their education. As a result, they failed to gain the skills to make them productive adults. The study said that immediate action must be taken tokeep infected people alive so that they can care for and educate their children.Exercise A:This news item is about a new World Bank study which warns that HIV and AIDS may damage African economies far worse than had been believed.News Item 3The annual AIDS report from the United Nations said Tuesday that almost 5 million people became infected with HIV last year -- the largest number of new infections since the disease was discovered in 1981.The report called for expanded AIDS-prevention efforts, which it said reach just one in five people worldwide.~The face of AIDS has become increasingly female and young -- nearly half of the almost 38 million people infected with HIV worldwide are women and half are between the ages of 15 and 24.Almost three million people died from AIDS last year, bringing to more than 20 million the number of AIDS deaths in more than two decades.Sub-Saharan Africa -- with just I 0 percent of the world's population is home to more than 60 percent of people living with HIV -- remained the hardest-hit region. An estimated 25 million people are infected with HIV, million in the last year.Exercise A:This news item is about the serious condition of the expansion of the new infection with HIV.Exercise B:1.

"The presenter who gave me the award [for Dead Poet's Society] was Jane Fonda She had recently been in the news because she had started dating Ted Turner.Anyway, she handed me the Oscar and 1 made my little speech and we went together into the pressroom where there was a small stage in front of bleachers* filled with about 60 press members, who were supposed to ask the winner questions.Jane 'and 1 took the stage and she said, "I'd like to introduce you to Tom Schulman who's just won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Do you have any questions"There was a barrage* of questions. "Jane, what's it like with Ted Are you getting married" etc. And she said, "Come on, this isn't my night, it's Tom's night. Please direct your questions to him."So there's a little pause and somebody says, "Tom, what's it like getting an Oscar from Jane' What's your thought -- you think she'll many Ted''Section Four Supplementary ExercisesThe Public Library of ScienceBefore scientists can earn a Nobel Prize, or any recognition, first they must get their work published. There are major publications like Science and Nature, but also many others. Some scientific publications cost a lot to receive in paper form. But most publishers also charge to read reports over the Internet. The reports often include findings of research paid for with public money.Some scientists think it is wrong to charge for scientific knowledge. Three years ago, a number of medical researchers organized the Public Library of Science. They urged scientific publishers to release reports on the Internet without charge. They were not satisfied with the steps taken. So the library decided to publish research on its own. The organizers say they hope to show that free sharing of scientific knowledge will speed the progress of science and medicine.Next year the Public Library of Science, or PLOS, will launch a publication called PLOS Medicine. Earlier this month the library released its first publication, PLOS Biology. It came out in print and online. The writers of the reports pay the costs of editing and publishing. As with many publications, other scientists read the articles to judge if the work should be published.&One of the reports in PLOS Biology made a lot of news. The report tells about experiments in which scientists connected devices to the brains of monkeys. These devices permitted the monkeys to control a mechanical arm with their thoughts.Exercise A:1.

It occurs when cells in the body grow and divide out of control.Our bodies are made up of millions of cells. Layers of cells form tissues. Normal cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly way. This process helps keep our bodies healthy.Cancer cells grow and divide too quickly. The process usually starts when something damages the genetic structure (DNA*) inside the cells, instead of dying in an orderly way, cancer cells keep growing, lump together* and form an extra mass of tissues. This mass is called a malignant tumor. As a malignant* tumor grows, it damages nearby tissue. A malignant tumor can take a long time (up to 30 years) or a short time (2 or 3 years) to cause symptoms. Cancer can begin in one part of the body and spread to others. This is called metastasis*. During metastasis; cancer cells travel through the body. In the new location, cancer cells create a new malignant tumor and grow out of control.Not all tumors are malignant. Some are benign, which means they aren't cancerous. Benign tumors usually aren't life threatening. They can usually be removed and rarely come back.We're not exactly sure what causes cancer. We don't always know why one person gets it and another doesn't. However, we do know a lot about the risk factors for cancer. The more we know about the risk factors, the more we can do to protect ourselves.Risk is a person's chance of getting a disease over a certain period of time.A person's risk factors make up a person's risk.A risk factor is anything that raises or lowers a person's chance of getting a disease. You can control some of them, but not all of them. Risk factors for cancer include:A lifestyle choice, like what a person eats;An environmental exposure, like smoke from other people'scigarettes;Genetic make-up or family history;Another disease or medical problem.These things mix together with different effects on different people.Some people are more sensitive to risk factors than others. Just because you have one or even several risk factors does not mean you will definitely get cancer. And avoiding risk factors does not guarantee you will be healthy.Exercise A:Risk factors for cancer include the followings:1. A lifestyle choice, like what a person eats;2. An environmental exposure, like smoke from other people's cigarettes;3. Genetic make-up or family history;4. Another disease or medical problem.Exercise B:2. D 4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B 8. CExercise C:1.

Unit 7Ⅰ.lead in1.This is a rather complicated issue. I may feel differently in different circumstances. If a close friend or relative ofmine happens to be in trouble, I will be only too glad to lend a helping hand. However, if it is not an emergency, I will hesitate about lending my hard-earned money. I may find a number of excuses and advise him to save up for things he wishes for. When someone not very close to me asks me for a loan, I may reject him or her with whatever excuse I can think of. If a stranger claims to be in real trouble and wants to borrow money from me, I will first find out if they are really in a jam. If that is the case, I may lend some money to help tide them over the emergency.Meanwhile, I will advise them to look for help from other sources as well.2.If I could get a big windfall of one billion dollars, I would use it in a sensible way. Certainly I wouldn't spend it likewater. To start with, I would buy an apartment to ensure that I have a comfortable home. I would also put a small portion of the money in the bank for a rainy day. However, I would prefer to spend the greater part of the one billion dollars in some meaningful projects. I may contribute to an educational foundation in support of the Hope Project. I am also interested in financing significant projects like a pipeline to carry natural gas from west China to east coast cities and diverting the Yangtze River water to north China. Perhaps I would also fund future Shenzhou Spaceship (Divine Vessel) flights!3.To achieve success in business, one should acquire a good education as a first step. However, not everyone whograduates from a privileged university can always thrive in business. One also needs a high IQ and a high EQ (emotional quotient). With high intelligence, one can easily understand a new situation and find opportunities. Witha high EQ, one tends to get along well with people. Popularity may give people golden chances. However, manyclever people with good interpersonal communication skills remain poor. Obviously, good luck is indispensable.4.It is not easy to make a choice among the three, and different people may have different preferences. Since studentsare not usually rich, they may choose price over quality and brand name. If shoddy or fake goods can last for a few years, they may be all right with some students, who can throw them away upon graduation. After graduation, students work and make money. Then they can afford better quality products that will last a long time and prove to be worth the higher prices in the long run. If one works in the high-end business world, perhaps one has to attach importance to brand names. Not wearing famous brand clothes, one may be treated with contempt, thus losing invaluable business opportunities.Ⅲ.listening inTask 1.It's Time to Buy.Mike: Hey, Robert, where are you off to?Robert: I'm going to talk to a banker about a loan.Mike: You are short of money? I thought you were the saving type.Robert: There's a time to save and a time to spend.Mike: I know all about spending. What's the loan for? I have a few bucks I could...Robert: I'm considering getting a mortgage to buy some property.Mike: Do you think property is a good investment? I mean, it's a lot of money.Robert: Well, Mike, as you know, property values have been going through the roof. If I had bought an apartment two years ago, its value would have gone up by 30 percent today.Mike: And from what I know, interest rates are low now.Robert: Exactly. Sounds like a good time to buy.Task 2.Can I have my change please?Tom was down on his luck and felt he needed a few drinks. He went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, "Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?"Tom turned around and replied, "I have already paid you," and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, "Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid."This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and had several drinks. The barman went to him and said, "Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he'd paid, but I don't remember him paying me."Richard said, "I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don't have time. Can I have my change please?"Task 3.Why not just print money?What's the solution to a recession, a time of little economic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?Let's see if this will work by using an example.Let's pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTIRE population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let's also pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let's have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of a recession, since more money to spend means more demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don't we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what'll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demandfor goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise prices. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us out of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.Ⅴ.Let’s TalkThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."He made her promise with all her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait a minute!" She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. Her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!"She said, "Listen, I'm a Christian. I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.""You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?""I surely did," said the wife. "I wrote him a check."Ⅵ.further listening and speakingGiving Money to a BeggarSusan: Hey, Robert, you gave that beggar some of your hard-earned cash?Robert: I know. He looked as if he needed help.Susan: But you're always so careful with your money.Robert: Yeah, I guess so, but I like to help when someone's in need.Susan: I just wonder why the guy doesn't get a job and make his own living.Robert: It's just not that simple, Susan. Some people have a hard time of it in life.Susan: Maybe they waste all their money. If you give them money, they will just go on wasting it.Robert: Life has been good to me, Susan, and I'd like to share some of my luck.Buying a MachineAn American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer. At noon, when the lunch bell rings, two thousand men and women immediately stop working and leave the building."Your workers, they're escaping!" cries the visitor. "You've got to stop them.""Don't worry, they'll be back," says the American. And indeed, at exactly one o'clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer turns to his guest and says, "Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?""Forget the machines," says the visitor. "How much do you want for that bell?"An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and services without using cash. Many Americans don't like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use.Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.。

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follows the child throughout his or her life. How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when th e child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around!

In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2.

Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark was marrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable.

商务英语视听说听力原文马龙海第七单元Marlon Hai unit 7- Marketing and SalesMarketing and sales are crucial aspects of any business. Effective marketing and sales strategies can help a company increase revenue and profit margins in a competitive market. In this unit, we will look at the key concepts and techniques involved in marketing and sales.Marketing is the process of identifying customer needs and wants and developing a strategy to promote and sell products or services to meet those needs. The four Ps of marketing are product, price, promotion, and place. Product refers to the actual goods or services that are sold to customers. Price is the amount that customers pay for a product or service. Promotion includes all the activities that are used to promote the product, such as advertising, sales promotions, and public relations. Place refers to the distribution channels through which the product is sold and delivered to customers.Sales, on the other hand, involves the actual selling of a product or service to a customer. Salespeople must be knowledgeable about the product or service they are selling. They must also be able to identify the needs and wants of the customer and match them with the features and benefits of the product. Successful salespeople also use a variety of techniques to build rapport with customers, such as active listening, asking open-ended questions, and using positive body language.One important aspect of marketing and sales is market research.Market research involves gathering and analyzing information about customers, competitors, and market trends. This information can be used to develop effective marketing and sales strategies. Market research can be conducted through surveys, focus groups, and other methods.Another key concept in marketing and sales is the sales funnel. The sales funnel is a model that represents the various stages that a customer goes through before making a purchase. The stages of the sales funnel are awareness, interest, desire, and action. At each stage, the customer becomes more engaged with the product or service, until eventually they make a purchase. Successful marketing and sales strategies understand the importance of each stage of the sales funnel and use strategies to engage customers at each stage.Finally, it is important to consider the role of technology in marketing and sales. Technology has revolutionized the way businesses market and sell products. Digital marketing, for example, has become increasingly important in reaching customers through channels such as social media, email, and search engine marketing. Salespeople can also use technology to manage customer relationships and track sales performance.In conclusion, marketing and sales are critical components of any business strategy. By understanding the key concepts and techniques involved in marketing and sales, businesses can develop effective strategies to increase revenue and profitability. This includes understanding the four Ps of marketing, the sales funnel, market research, and the role of technology.。

First, they need to know exactly where the accident happened, with a map reference if possible. Then they will want to know the time of the accident. They will also need to know how many people were involved in the accident and what kind of injuries there were. Finally, they will ask for other useful details, such as the colour of the victim's clothing and the weather conditions.Then the rescue team's call-out procedure begins. Team members keep their personal equipment at home so as to be ready to set off within fifteen minutes of receiving the call. The advance party of about four people sets off right away. They carry a radio telephone with them to send details to the main party and to the base. They are also equipped and trained to give immediate medical assistance.The main party follows the advance party. They carry a radio telephone and more supplies,including a stretcher for the victim. The third party on the mountain is the back-up group. Their job is to help the main party on its return journey.Rescue control is set up in a mobile base.

It's just things l have to do.Friend: Well, you need to manage that stress a little better. Are you getting any exercise?Mia: Who has time?Friend: You really should ride a bicycle to the store, or walk to work a couple of days a week, or go swimming at the community center.

I'm always thinking of what Ishould be doing.Friend: No wonder you can't sleep. A lot of people learn to meditate* or learn yoga.Meditation and yoga are supposed to be good ways to deal with stress. Theyhelp you relax.Mia: Yoga? Maybe I'll call the community center. They might have some classes there.Friend: You know, another thing you can do is to take vitamins. You use up a lot of vitamins andyou don't get them in your meals all the time. They won't help the stress, but they mighthelp your body handle it better. You really should take vitamins every day. Mia: Yeah, I should get some. Thanks.Friend: How about going out with Rosa and me this Friday? It'll do you good. We could see amovie, make you forget your problems.

Reflexology believes that rubbing parts of the foot can help other parts of the body.Woman: Did I tell you about the reflexology class I'm taking at the Asia Center? Man: The what class?Woman: Reflexology. It's foot massage ... you know, from Chinese medicine. Man: Foot massage?Woman: Yeah. It's wonderful. Here, let me show you what I've learned. Take off your shoes and socks.Man: Are you serious?Woman: Just try itMan: OK.Woman: The important thing to understand is that parts of your foot are connected to other partsof your body.Man: Yeah, my legs.Woman: No. I mean certain places on your foot are connected to other places, other parts of your body. So when you massage a part of your foot, it'sgood for another part. For example, look at your big toe.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: The area on the bottom of the big toe is connected to your brain. Do you have headaches?Man: Headaches? Sometimes.Woman: So just rub the area on the bottom of your big toe. It will help your brain. Man: Huh? Huh. [pause] Actually, my eyes hurt more often than my head. Myeyes get tired from using the computer at work.Woman: Massaging your other toes can help your eyes. On the bottom of each toe, there's a small area. They're round, like circles. Well, rubbing thesecircles makes your eyes feel better. It relaxes tired eyes.Man: Here? This area under each toe?Woman: Yeah. But that's not the only place for tired eyes. If your eyes really hurt, find the areaunder your two smallest toes ... there by your two smallest toes.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: It looks something like the letter "U." Massage that U. It will help when you feel really bad pain in your eyes. [pause]Man: What else?Woman: Well, now move down your foot on the outside. Find the widest part of your foot on theoutside, there's an area related to your shoulders. Massage it firmly -- not so hard that ithurts, but you should be firm. This will help the muscles in your shoulders.Man: Like stiff shoulders, that kind of thing?Woman: Right. [pause] Now let's look at the other side of your foot. On the inside of your foot, put your fingers near the top -- on the inside, just under thebig toe. Slowly and firmly, rub from the top all the way to your heel ... tothe end of your foot. This area will heal your back. If you have backaches,rub this long, narrow area several times a day.Man: The whole inside edge helps the back?Woman: That's right. [pause] How's your stomach? Do you get stomachaches? Man: Not very often ... well, sometimes, if I eat too much.Woman: Find the area in the center of your foot. It goes from the inside edge of your foot almostall the way to the other side. It's almost like a small egg. Massage it firmly. It can helpyour stomach.Man: Here, in the middle?Woman: Right. [pause] You can work on your knees, too. If you have sore knees, move your hand to the bottom, outside edge of your foot, the sole of yourfoot, by the heel. Rub firmly. [pause]Man: You know, this is kind of interesting. But actually, you know what hurts the most? My feet. I get blisters a lot.Woman: Blisters? Maybe you need bigger shoes.Passage 1 EpidemicsEpidemics* occur roughly every three to five years and a worldwide pandemic* is happening now. Among the areas most affected recently are India, Viet Nam and the Caribbean*. Cases happen in Mexico often, and even in South Texas. This virus* has four flavors, called serotypes*, which are creatively named 1, 2, 3 and 4. Getting infected with one serotype does not protect you against the other stereotypes: in fact, getting a second dengue infection, particularly with type 2, leads to an even worse infection. This manifests as either Dengue* Hemorrhagic Fever* or Dengue Shock Syndrome*, which can be fatal. These are particularly dangerous in children, who suffer the most and who are at the greatest risk of dying from dengue. Still, most cases of dengue are benign* (not-serious), ending after approximately 7 days.Dengue has a short incubation* period -- often days, usually less than a week. This signs and symptoms of dengue include a sudden, rapidly climbing fever, a severe headache, nausea* andvomiting, loss of appetite, rash and deep muscle and joint pains. The disease is nicknamed "breakbone fever" for these last two symptoms. The rash usually shows up 3-4 days after the start of the symptoms and begins on the torso, spreading out to the face, arms and legs.There can be a few days respite but the fever and rash often recur, and this is known as the "saddleback pattern." With Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever the blood cells are crippled and bleeding develops -- in the gums, the skin, the intestinal tract*. With the shock syndrome* the blood vesselsdon't work quite right, and the blood pressure drops precipitously; as a result the blood fails to meet the metabolic* demands of the cells in the body -- which is the definition of shock. Well then, what can we do about it? There is no vaccine* and there is no cure, go if one contracts dengue, thetreatment is "supportive" -- which means rest, plenty of fluids, acetaminophen*(Tylenol), and hospitalization if the hemorrhagic fever or shock forms develop.This leaves us with prevention, the most sensible option.Exercise A:The signs and symptoms of dengue include a sudden, rapidly climbing fever, a severe headache, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, rash and deep muscle and joint pains.Exercise B:1.B2. A3. C .4. C5. D6. D7. A8. BExercise C:1. It will probably lead to an even worse infection, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or Dengue Shock Syndrome.2. Children suffer the most from dengue and they are at the greatest risk of dying from dengue.3. The signs and symptoms of dengue include a sudden, rapidly climbing fever, a severe headache, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, rash and deep muscle and joint pains.4. Because with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever the blood cells are crippled.5. With the shock syndrome the blood vessels don't work quite right, and the blood pressure drops precipitously; as a result the blood fails to meet the metabolic demands of the cells in the body —which is the definition of shock.Passage 2 CancerCancer is the general name for a large group of diseases. It occurs when cells in the body grow and divide out of control.Our bodies are made up of millions of cells. Layers of cells form tissues. Normal cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly way. This process helps keep our bodies healthy.Cancer cells grow and divide too quickly. The process usually starts when something damages the genetic structure (DNA*) inside the cells, instead of dying in an orderly way, cancer cells keep growing, lump together* and form an extra mass of tissues. This mass is called a malignant tumor. As a malignant* tumor grows, it damages nearby tissue. A malignant tumor can take a long time (up to 30 years) or a short time (2 or 3 years) to cause symptoms. Cancer can begin in one part of the body and spread to others. This is called metastasis*. During metastasis; cancer cells travel through the body. In the new location, cancer cells create a new malignant tumor and grow out of control.Not all tumors are malignant. Some are benign, which means they aren't cancerous. Benign tumors usually aren't life threatening. They can usually be removed and rarely come back.We're not exactly sure what causes cancer. We don't always know why one person gets it and another doesn't. However, we do know a lot about the risk factors for cancer. The more we know about the risk factors, the more we can do to protect ourselves.Risk is a person's chance of getting a disease over a certain period of time.A person's risk factors make up a person's risk.A risk factor is anything that raises or lowers a person's chance of getting a disease. You can control some of them, but not all of them. Risk factors for cancer include:◆ A lifestyle choice, like what a person eats;◆An environmental exposure, like smoke from other people'scigarettes;◆Genetic make-up or family history;◆Another disease or medical problem.These things mix together with different effects on different people. Some people are more sensitive to risk factors than others. Just because you have one or even several risk factors does not mean you will definitely get cancer. And avoiding risk factors does not guarantee you will be healthy.Exercise A:Risk factors for cancer include the followings:1. A lifestyle choice, like what a person eats;2. An environmental exposure, like smoke from other people's cigarettes;3. Genetic make-up or family history;4. Another disease or medical problem.Exercise B:1.C2. D3.D4. A5. B6. A7. B8. CExercise C:1. Cancer occurs when cells in the body grow and divide out of control.2. The process of normal cells helps keep our bodies healthy.3. Not all tumors are malignant. Benign tumors can usually be removed and rarely come back.4. A risk factor is anything that raises or lowers a person's chance of getting a disease.5. Some people are more sensitive to risk factors than others. Just because you have one or even several risk factors does not mean you will definitely get cancer. And avoiding risk factors does not guarantee you will be healthy.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1Haiti has become the first country to launch a Bush Administration plan to reduce the passing of HIV and AIDS from mothers to children. The program began Monday at a hospital. Haiti will receive $4 million for the first year of the five-year program. Officials say the money is expected to increase to $60 million over five years. The project is part of the $15 thousand million AIDS plan for African and Caribbean that President Bush recently signed into law. Every year as many as 6 thousand Haitian children are reportedly born with H1V -- the virus that causes AIDS.Exercise A:This news item is about the launch of a Bush Administration plan to reduce the passing of HIV and AIDS from mothers to children in Haiti.Exercise B:Haiti has become the first country to launch a Bush Administration planto reduce the passing of HIV and AIDS from mothers to children.

Every year as many as 6 thousand Haitian children are reportedly born with HIV -- the virus that causes AIDS.News Item 2A new World Bank study warns that HIV and AIDS may damage African economies far worse than had been believed. The reports said African nations with high rates of AIDS could see as much as half of their entire domestic product disappear within 90 years. The study shows that AIDS kills mostly young adults. Many children are then left without parents. It said children whose parents die of AIDS are less likely to complete their education. As a result, they failed to gain the skills to make them productive adults. The study said that immediate action must be taken to keep infected people alive so that they can care for and educate their children.Exercise A:This news item is about a new World Bank study which warns that HIV and AIDS may damage African economies far worse than had been believed.Exercise BI.A new World Bank study warning1.

An estimated 25 million people are infected with HIV, 2.2 million in the last year.Exercise A:This news item is about the serious condition of the expansion of the new infection with HIV.Exercise B:1.

TSection Three Oral WorkRetellingScreenwriters, as Tom Schulman quickly learned, have long been the lowest members on the Hollywood totem* pole."If I had any inclination to get a big head, the Oscars cured that," he once recalled. "The presenter who gave me the award [for Dead Poet's Society] was Jane Fonda She had recently been in the news because she had started dating Ted Turner.Anyway, she handed me the Oscar and 1 made my little speech and we went together into the pressroom where there was a small stage in front of bleachers* filled with about 60 press members, who were supposed to ask the winner questions.Jane 'and 1 took the stage and she said, "I'd like to introduce you to Tom Schulman who's just won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Do you have any questions?"There was a barrage* of questions. "Jane, what's it like with Ted? Are you getting married?" etc. And she said, "Come on, this isn't my night, it's Tom's night. Please direct your questions to him."So there's a little pause and somebody says, "Tom, what's it like getting an Oscar from Jane'? What's your thought -- you think she'll many Ted?''Section Four Supplementary ExercisesThe Public Library of ScienceBefore scientists can earn a Nobel Prize, or any recognition, first they must get their work published. There are major publications like Science and Nature, but also many others. Some scientific publications cost a lot to receive in paper form. But most publishers also charge to read reports over the Internet. The reports often include findings of research paid for with public money.Some scientists think it is wrong to charge for scientific knowledge. Three years ago, a number of medical researchers organized the Public Library of Science. They urged scientific publishers to release reports on the Internet without charge. They were not satisfied with the steps taken. So the library decided to publish research on its own. The organizers say they hope to show that free sharing of scientific knowledge will speed the progress of science and medicine.Next year the Public Library of Science, or PLOS, will launch a publication called PLOS Medicine. Earlier this month the library released its first publication, PLOS Biology. It came out in print and online. The writers of the reportspay the costs of editing and publishing. As with many publications, other scientists read the articles to judge if the work should be published.One of the reports in PLOS Biology made a lot of news. The report tells about experiments in which scientists connected devices to the brains of monkeys. These devices permitted the monkeys to control a mechanical arm with their thoughts.Exercise A:1.

We go now, I think, to Glasgow and our next caller, er, Jim Baillie. Hello Jim.Jim: Hello?Radio presenter: Hello Jim. What's your problem?Jim:Er … well I'm er … beginning to lose my hair. Er, I went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I can do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.Maurice: Hello, Jim. And how old are you?Jim: Me. I'm twenty-eight.Maurice: And are you losing a lot of hair, then?Jim: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of my head.Maurice: And does that really worry you, jim?Jim: Well. I don't like it. It's old … you know … looks old … I don't want to look like a middle-aged man at twenty-eight. And I wondered if there was some special shampoo I should use … if you could tell me one that I should buy … something like that … you know … to stop it getting worse.Maurice: Well, you know, Jim, to be honest with you there's not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I'm afraid. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to try to accept. Some men find it more difficult to accept baldness than others …Tessa: There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that's don't try to comb your hair over the bald or thin patch. Don't try to hide it. Whatever you do, don't comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig. Don't let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband's bald and I think it really suits him.Part II The digestive system and diarrheaThe human body is a highly complex self-generator, that is to say, provided it is given the right fuel, it is capable of both curing and warding off disease. The food we eat helps to give us energy. It has a long journey to make before all its goodness has been taken into our body. The food takes up to six hours to be digested in the stomach, depending on the size of the meal. Thecomplete digestive process takes about 24 hours. But sometimes the system can go wrong.complex：复杂self-generator：自愈(体)provided：假设fuel：燃料warding off：避免digest：消化digestion：消化digestive process：消化过程digestive system：消化系统stomach：胃over-tax：课税过重；负担过重insufficiently：不够，不能胜任grind to a halt：慢慢减速到停止;陷入停顿rusty：生锈的，腐蚀的coil up：缭绕mechanism：机制，机能sluggish：行动迟缓的，反应慢的abdomen：肚子efficiently：效率高地;有效地break down：损坏watery：含水的，水分多的squeeze：挤；榨muscle：肌肉irritable：易怒的，急躁的;过敏的;应激性的;毛躁dehydrate：使脱水，使干燥gut：肠子；勇气;内脏;直觉;reasonable：合理的，公道的irritate：刺激，使兴奋;bowel：肠;内部;同情心，怜悯心obviously：明显clear up：清除intestine：肠enzyme：酶feces：粪，屎，渣滓;粪便symptom：症状;征兆diarrhea：腹泻constipation：便秘contaminated food：污染的食物virus：病毒parasite：寄生虫dehydration：脱水;干燥，极度口渴;失水fluid：液体，流体life saver：救生者bacteria：细菌syndrome：综合征;综合症状;典型表现tummy pains：胃/肚子痛a pinch of：一撮，少许AOur body is made up of thousands of different parts. All these parts work together to keep us alive and to help us move around. The parts of the human body are like the parts of a very complicated machine. Like any other machine, however, if it is inexpertly cared for, over-taxed or insufficiently used, it will become rusty, sluggish or clogged and parts of its mechanism may even grind to a halt. That is why it is so important to keep every part of the human machine healthy and properly cared for. To keep in good running order, the body requires the raw materials for growth and the replacement of tissues when necessary. Our bodies burn food like fuel to produce the energy we need.The human digestive system is a bit like a very long tube, but it's a lot more complex. It's several meters long, and most of it is carefully coiled up in our abdomen. It has several important jobs to do.First, it must digest or break down our food. Digestion starts the moment food enters our mouth. Then it continues as the food is squeezed along the gut by muscles in the wall of the intestine. As the food travels through the gut, natural chemicals called enzymes are added to it, which help break down the food. Then this digested food and water must be absorbed from the gut into our blood stream so that it can be used by the body. Finally, the gut must carry away any waste products in the form of feces.Usually our intestine does all these things very efficiently. But sometimes things can go wrong. Probably the most common gut symptoms are diarrhea and constipation.With diarrhea, the food and water travels too quickly through the intestine, often making the feces watery, and making it necessary to open the bowels more frequently.There are lots of causes of diarrhea. Probably the commonest causes of diarrhea are contaminated food or water, and infection caused by viruses or parasites.Many cases of diarrhea clear up within a few days without any special medicines. But the body loses a lot of fluid through diarrhea, so there is a very real risk of the body drying out or becoming dehydrated. Because of this risk of dehydration, the best treatment for diarrhea is simply to make sure you are drinking enough. Avoiding dehydration in this way can be a life saver.BThere are lots of different causes of diarrhea. Um, there are infections that can happen, and this is food poisoning, if you like, where in your food you eat some sort of bacteria or organisms, which infect you. Some foods can just irritate the gut and tend to give you diarrhea, although they are not infected. It's just the food itself (that) might irritate your system. Some people, if they get very nervous and stressed about something, find they tend to get diarrhea. Something called the irritable bowel syndrome where something goes wrong with the way the gut works. And people that suffer from this tend to get, um, tummy pains, and they get sometimes diarrhea, sometimes constipation. All sorts of causes.Most attacks of diarrhea, um, particularly in adults, are not serious and they clear up by themselves within one or two days. The most important thing is to drink lots of fluid, because if you have got diarrhea, you're obviously losing a lot of fluid. And so it's better really not to eat toomuch, not to worry about that, but to make sure you drink plenty of fluid. And ideally, this should have a little bit of salt and sugar in. You can get special rehydrating fluids, which are specially mixed. But if you want to make your own by adding just a teaspoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt, then it's obviously perfectly reasonable to do that.Part III ImmunityThe environment contains many potentially destructive microorganisms. It is impossible for us to avoid contact with microbes. That's why our body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. Then why don't we suffer from constant illness? Do we have our own defense system?B.potentially：潜在地destructive：破坏性的microorganisms：微生物impossible：不可能microbes：微生物，细菌invading germs：侵入的细菌suffer from：生病；忍受defense system：防护系统lash：鞭挞，鞭子;责骂;讽刺;眼睫毛immunity：免疫constant (ly)：持续come into play：起作用germ：细菌literally：字面上assist：帮助reserve：保存，储备，储存backup：支持，后援;阻塞;（计）备份文件bone marrow：骨髓antibody：抗体measles：麻疹polio：脊髓灰质炎；小儿麻痹症tuberculosis：肺结核The human body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. And the only reason we don't suffer from constant illness is our bodies have their own defense mechanism to fight off disease. This resistance to infection is called immunity.A: How does immunity work?B: Well, the immune system is the body's own secret army, which fights infection. And it consists of a whole range of troops, soldiers, their cells and their molecules. Now the headquarters of this army is really the blood. That's where it does most of its fighting. And sometimes it needs some reserve, and that comes from the bone marrow. That's where the immune cells are made.A: So there are many different kinds of cells, different kinds of molecules in the immune system. I guessed the ones that we're probably more familiar with are white blood cells.B: That's right. White blood cells form a major part of the body's defense. But there are also antibodies in their life, more proteins. They just lash onto the invaders. The white cells cansometimes actually gobble up invaders. The clever thing is that once the infection has attacked our body, the immune system seems to have a memory of the invader, so that the next time it sees the invader it can attack very quickly.A: There are some things which we're not naturally immune to and that's where vaccination comes in, isn't it?B: Exactly. Vaccination plays on the body's ability to remember infection. So what happens is that someone is given a version of an illness, for instance, measles or polio, or tuberculosis, and the body thinks that it is actually being infected with that infection. And the next time it sees it, the body can respond very quickly. All the troops of its immune system can come into play.A: Now sometimes the immune system doesn't work very well, does it?B:No. It’s a remarkably complex system. And sometimes it can go wrong. Either it can be overactive, so it actually starts to attack our own body self, or it can be underactive sometimes, and we are more likely to be infected in that situation.A: Are there any important illnesses which result from the immune system so that it's turning on our bodies themselves?B: There are. One example would be a disease like multiple-sclerosis, where the body's own immune system attacks the lining of nerves, which means that people's nerves don't work properly. A: We're able to assist the body in its fight against the illness in many cases, but there are some diseases which we don't seem to be able to produce a vaccine for. AIDS is one of them. Why not? B: The problem is AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus, attacks the human immune system, which means that our normal defenses aren't there to fight off that infection. The other problem with trying to produce a vaccine against HIV or AIDS is that the virus, HIV, can change itself so easily. That's very difficult to find a vaccine which can recognize all the different types of HIV. So one vaccine may be effective against one type of the virus but it may absolutely be no good for another type.C.Presenter: The human body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. And the only reason we don't suffer from constant illness is our bodies have their own defense mechanism to fight off disease. This resistance to infection is called immunity. And here with me to discuss how it works is Grime Easton. He is a family doctor, and a member of the Science In It here in the BBC World Service. Grime, how does immunity work?Grime: Well, the immune system is the body's own secret army, if you like, which fights infection. And it consists of a whole range of troops, soldiers, their cells and their molecules. Um, now the headquarters of this army is really the blood. That's where it does most of the fighting. And sometimes it needs some reserve, some backup, and that comes from the bone marrow. That's where the immune cells' factories are.Presenter: So there are many different kinds of cells, and different kinds of molecules tied up in the immune system. I guessed the ones that we're probably more familiar with are white blood cells.Grime: That's right. White blood cells form a major part of the body's defense. But there are also antibodies in their life, more proteins, which just lash onto the invaders. Um, but, as you say, the white cells can sometimes actually gobble up invaders. So the clever thing is that once the infection has attacked our body, the immune system seems to have a memory of the invader, so that the next time it sees the invader it can attack very quickly. The immune system in the humanbody fights invading disease. Immunity occurs because the immune system can remember the chemical makeup of invading germs and attack them very quickly.Presenter:There are some things which we're not naturally immune to and that's where vaccination comes in, isn't it?Grime: Exactly. Vaccination plays on the body's ability to remember infection. So what happens is that someone is given a version of an illness, for instance, measles or polio, or tuberculosis, and the body thinks that it is actually being infected with that infection. And the next time it sees it, um, the body can respond very quickly. And all the troops of its immune system can come into play. Vaccination can be used to protect the body against specific infections.Presenter: Now sometimes the immune system doesn't work very well, does it?Grime: No. It's a remarkably complex system. It's a very complicated system. And sometimes it can go wrong. Either it can be overactive, so it actually starts to attack our own body self, or it can be underactive sometimes, and we are more likely to be infected in that situation.Presenter: Are there any important illnesses which result from the immune system so that it's turning on our bodies themselves?Grime: There are. And one example would be a disease like multiple-sclerosis, where the body's own immune system, we think, attacks the lining of nerves, which means that people's nerves don't work properly.Presenter: We're able to assist the body in its fight against the illness in many cases, but there are some diseases which we don't seem to be able to produce a vaccine for. Um, AIDS is one of them. Why not?Grime: Well, the problem is AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus, is that HIV itself attacks the human immune system, which means that our normal defenses aren't there to fight off that infection, or indeed many other sorts of infection. The other problem with trying to produce a vaccine against HIV or AIDS is that the virus, HIV, can change itself so easily. Um, that's very difficult to find a vaccine which can recognize all the different types of HIV, which there are. So one vaccine may be effective against one type of the virus but it may absolutely be no good for another type.HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV destroys the body's immune system, and puts the body at greater risk from other common infections.Presenter: I was talking to Dr. Grime Easton of the Science In It about immunity. The reason why he, I, and I hope you, are able to remain as healthy as we are.Part ⅣWhy do I catch coldsVirus are most definitely going to get you. And when they do, they will give you anything, from a cold to Ebola. And yet, technically, virus have no life of their own. So why do they cause so much trouble? More to the point, why do I catch colds?See that guy with the blocked nose. When he sneezes, 40,000 droplets will fly twelve feet in their air, infecting up to 150 people. You should have ducked. A cold virus just can’t live without you. With no cells of its own, it needs to take over your cells and replicate. Here’s something to think about. The virus can only travel around inside a blob of macus. And that mean whenever you catch a sniffle, someone else’s snot has been up your nose. Anyway, your immune system is constantly on the prowl for attackers like these. If it wasn’t, you could end up with fatal pneumonia. So, when it spots a viral invasion, it grabs a sample. Here, a T cell first identifies the invader and then deploys an army of tailor-made immune cells to your nose. These provide specialbackup for the standard immune cells already fighting your cold. Your nose has become a battleground. Meanwhile, to stop infection spreading to your lungs, you’re manufacturing a daily pint of macus. This snot gives you a headache. While the virus irritates your nose, so you have to blow it around 45 times a day. Beating a cold takes you about seven days and you’ll catch about four a year.This is the golden age for the cold virus. It hops on planes with its human hosts, visits new cities and finds hundreds of new homes with every sneeze. As it replicates, it mutates. So by the next year it may be back in a different form.Part V Dental HealthPeople have been troubled by tooth and gum problems for thousands of years. The earliest record of dental treatment comes from ancient Egypt. Books say the Egyptians treated gum swelling by using a substance made of spices and onions. The earliest known person to treat tooth problems was also from Egypt. He lived about five-thousand years ago. He was known as a "doctor of the tooth."Experts say Chinese people living almost five-thousand years ago treated tooth pain by acupuncture -- placing small sharp needles in different parts of the body. About one-thousand-three-hundred years ago, the Chinese filled holes in the teeth with a mixture of the metals mercury, silver and tin. That was almost one-thousand years before a similar substance was first used in western countries. Some ancient people like the Maya did not treat dental disease. But they made their teeth pretty by placing pieces of stone and metal on them.The ancient Romans were careful about keeping their teeth clean. More than two-thousand years ago, the Romans treated toothaches, filled holes in teeth, and made false teeth to replace those that had been lost.From the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, Europeans with tooth problems went to people called barber-surgeons. These people performed many services, including cutting hair, pulling teeth and treating medical conditions. Dental treatment improved during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as doctors increased their knowledge about teeth.Modern dentistry began in the Seventeen-Hundreds in France. That was when Pierre Fauchard published his book called "The Surgeon Dentist." It was the first book about dental science. The book provided information about dental problems for other dentists to use. And it described ways to keep teeth healthy. Pierre Fauchard is considered the father of modern dentistry. His work was important in helping establish dentistry as a separate profession.。
