Those are the ones I watch.W2: I saw The Proposal not too long ago and I really liked it. It was really interesting; it was a really funny, romantic comedy.M3: Sweeney Todd. I really enjoyed with Johnny Depp –simply because he was fantastic; and Helena Bonham Carter, one of my favorite actresses, was also really good.M4: I’d recommend The Graduate. I enjoyed that as a young man and … and growing up as well. I think it’s a “coming of age” film.M6: My favorite film is called Golden Eye. It’s a James Bond film and I think the action scenes are just absolutely fantastic in it.Part 3F: Who’s your favorite actor?M5: John Wayne’s my favorite actor.M6: My favorite actor is the new James Bond, er, Daniel Craig.

In today’s program, we ask the question, “What is beauty?” Do men today really like women with blonde hair and blue eyes?

We went out to see what you really think …I = Interviewer; W1 = Woman 1, etc; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 2I: Excuse me, ladies. Do you have a moment?W1: Yes?I: Just a quick question.

Well, he’s got quite a feminine face and he’s very good-looking. I like his eyes –he’s got dark brown eyes and I like men with dark eyes and black hair. But I think it’s more in the personality … in the smile … so I like this one best. Will Smith. He’s got a really nice smile.I: Thank you. And here’s another lady. Excuse me. Have you got a moment?W3: Well …I: I’m doing a survey about the changing face of beauty. Can I ask you some questions?W3: Yes, OK. Yes.I: I’ve got some photos here. Can you tell me which of these people you like? Do you think any of them are good-looking?W3: Well, I don’t really like any of them …I: No?

The one looking in the shop window?W3: No, he’s over there. He’s wearing a white T-shirt and he’s talking to … that blonde woman … Excuse me …I: And then I talked to some men to find out if they really prefer blondes – just like they did 50 years ago. Do you think it’s true that men prefer blondes, sir?M1: What? No, not at all! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. Look at this photo of Judi Dench. She’s lovely. She isn’t young, but she’s got beautiful grey eyes and she always wears beautiful clothes. She looks kind and intelligent.M2: Yeah, she does. But I still prefer blondes, you know … like Scarlett Johansson.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in,and I’ve got the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday.V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people.

By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand an d jump in the waves.

The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in theirfree time?Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people?Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk.A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, butnobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the festival founders.。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know – but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

It’s very surprising.Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time.He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s films?Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see. The computer, the car, the phone? No, I think it’s the light bulb.

We’re all proud of Bob.M: Yes. But if Bob had remembered all his lines, his performance would have been more natural. Q: What does the man mean?Long conversationScriptsW: Hey, Bob, I’m taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books. M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London …no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books!W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bringeverything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes alittle while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

Have you got a moment?W3: Well …I: I’m doing a survey about the changing face of beauty. Can I ask you some questions?W3: Yes, OK. Yes.I: I’ve got some photos here.

He’s wearing a white T-shirt and he’s talking to …that blonde woman … Excuse me …I: And then I talked to some men to find out if they really prefer blondes –just like they did 50 years ago. Do you think it’s true that men prefer blondes, sir?M1: What? No, not at all! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. Look at this photo of Judi Dench. She’s lovely. She isn’t young, but she’s got beautiful grey eyes and she always wears beautiful clothes. She looks kind and intelligent.M2: Yeah, she does. But I still prefer blondes, you know …like Scarlett Johansson.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday. V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together.In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything.V: So, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here?

By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too.

Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one hasalready learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them.

You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory.

But as this is happening so often recently, I think I have to see a doctor.B: I don‘t think it‘s so serious. Anyway, a bad memory helps you forget your trouble.V. Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers thingsbetter if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Impro ving One‘s Memory ExamplesCreating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:1.a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If,however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essentialfactor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep alsoplays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, wemust allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise andstore the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according tothe passage?3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4. What problem can a lack of water cause?5. Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple whooften entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. Onthis particular spring night, they have invited a retiredprofessor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while theywere washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong inthe rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, andin addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―tiesin ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye asyou look at the name; or when you see he name, visualizethe ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover theartists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop.Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which oneis best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is expla in in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘sstill add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an importantpart of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖“I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖“Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her. “Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.“You‘re outing your mind,‖ yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖“Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A‘sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.A student says, ―Whateve r I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an ac tive reader-one whocontinually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?3.

The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, manyBritish people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time?Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people?Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west LosAngeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk.A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks.

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 for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Them, you’ll need to pick up a library card so that 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 student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card. Concerning the medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.Task 2: Living on Campus(M=man; W=woman)M: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy to make friends.What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?M: No, this is the first time.W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus.M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown.W: But the commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time.M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while. M: True.Task 3: Learning to speak EnglishHello, how are you? When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries don’t speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say thingslike “Hey, what’s up?” or “Hey! Whatcha been dion’?” These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?Task 4: An AnnouncementIV. Speaking OutModel 1 It’s nice to meet you.Now Your TurnMichael: Hi1 My name is Michael. Nice to meet you.Robert: Nice to meet you, Michael. I’m Robert. But you can call me Bob.Michael: OK, Bob. Are you an international student here?Robert: Yes, I got here last week. I’m from Canada.Michael: So, we’re going to be in the same dorm.Model 2 How are you doing?Now Your TurnJoe: Hi, Jack.Jack: Hello, Joe. How are you doing?Joe: I’m just fine, thanks. How about you?Jack: Good. Well, you see, I’m planning to take chemistry this semester. Can you recommend a professor?Joe: Dr. Smith, of course. They say he’s a prominent professor in chemistry.Model 3 I’d like you to meet my friend.Now Your TurnJason: Hi, Jane. I’d like you to meet my friend, Mike. Mike, this is Jane.Michael: Glad to meet you.Jane: Glad to meet you, too.Michael: Jason often tells me how much he enjoys you playing the piano.Jane: Thank you. I enjoy watching him playing tennis, too.Michael: Excuse me. I have an appointment, so I’m afraid I must go now. Very nice meeting you.Jane: Same here. Bye!V. Let’s TalkMichael: Hi! I saw you yesterday with John. We room together. I’m Michael.Jane: Oh, hi, Mike. How are you doing?Michael: I’m okay, but school has been really hectic since I came. I haven’t even had a chance to breathe!Jane: I know. It’s especially crazy when you’re a freshman. Hey, what’s your major? Michael: Travel and tourism.Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?Michael: Uh… I really haven’t decided. I think I’d like to work for a travel agency in this area.What about you?Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldn’t be as difficult.Michael: Have you got a part=time job to support yourself through school?Jane: Well, I’m on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.Michael: Wow, lucky you!Jane: Yeah. How about you? Are you paying for school yourself?Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at travel agency.Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you do there? Michael: I’m a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city.Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then.Michael: Actually, they’re all Chinese tourists. That’s why I got the job!For ReferenceaA, say what you think about college life.Hi, John. Life on campus is really exciting! It’s totally different form high school.B, give your opinion of A’s view.Yeah. I feel the same. It’s an entirely new world.A, tell B your problem and the cause for that.Well, my problem is this: I major in Engineering, but I want to work in a foreign trade company. So, I decide to spend more time on English. But, it’s hard, you know, to manage your time.B, give your opinion of what A says, and tell him/her about your situation.I think you made the right decision. Actually, I have the same problem. You know, I’m majoringin computer science, but I don’t like it very much. I’m really fond of travel and tourism, and I am considering changing my major, if it’s possible.A, comment on B’s word.Why? Computer science is cool! You’re sure to get a big salary in your future job!BA, tell B about your problem.Hi, john. I’m having a hard time paying my tuition.B, Show your sympathy.Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Have any way to get money?A, say your plan to solve the problem.I am considering a part-time job. I think it will help pay my tuition and give me useful experience.B, Give your opinion of A’s plan, and tell him/her about your experience.Right. Actually, I’m working part-time at a chain store now. It does bring in some money, but I think experience is more important.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: University LifeUniversity 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 I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed 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 because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HA VING 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 guess I’m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don’t get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I don’t move until Friday afternoon.Task 2: Key to Learning EnglishI think one of the most important keys to learning English id to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. This idea may sound a little too simple to the learners, because they took English in high school for a quite a few years, but they didn’t become proficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I do not mean that we can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here and there, but following a regular and consistent course of study can help us on the way to language mastery. In other words, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. Some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language on 30 days, only to give up when they can’t perform up to their expectations. And small steps little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn to use them actively—is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the nextday.Task 3: Listening EffectivelyThrough it is 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught. Listening is more than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assignment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities well results in learning and, most of the time, 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! Ina personal setting, listening effectively 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.UNIT 2II. Listening SkillsIdentifying Numbers1.M: The stadium looks pretty big. How many people does it seat?W: It holds around 20,000. They say more than 18,000 Tickets have been sold.Q: How many tickets are left now?2.W: I was planning on signing up for the swimming class. Bit I heard it’s full.M: Really? That’s strange. There were nine swimming classes last semester, and this semester there are five more.Q: How many swimming classes are there this semester/3.W: How far do you jog every day? 5 kilometers?M: No, about 15km. I have to run that far to stay in good people.Q: How far does the man run each day?4. M: How many people will come to your home to watch the World Cup Final? Want me tobring anything?W: Probably like 15 or 20. I’ve got most things covered. Maybe just bring a six-pack or something else to drink.Q: About how many people will come to watch the World Cup Final?5.W: How many people do you think will enter for the City Marathon?M: I’m not sure. It was 250 last year. But someone told me the number is likely to double this tear.Q: How many people are likely to enter for this year’s City Marathon?III. Listening InTask 1: Yao MingI first saw Yao Ming back in 1997. Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and get to know the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. They looked normal, most about 6’4’’ or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy about 7’5’’ came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. 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.”Task 2: RonaldoRonaldo will become the first three-time winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year Award this Tuesday. Ronaldo played his early football with amateur clubs. By the time he was 16, he had signed his professional contract with a Brazilian club. He played very well, gaining a goal almost in each game. He was still only 17 when he went to seek his fortune in the European Leagues. At a Dutch club, Ronaldo got 30 goals on 33 matches. Back home, he was a member of the Brazilian team that won the World Cup in the U.S .In 1994.Although he did not get to play a single minute in that tournament, he was soon being described as the new Pele. He moved to Bracelona in 1996, and the next summer became a member of Inter Milan. He quickly became the hottest property in football, winning the FIFA World Player of the Year Award in 1996 and 1997. As he took the award in 1999 for the third time, there was no doubt that his name would live on in history.Task 3: Physical ExerciseMore 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 exercises that suit different 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 also good forms of exercise. Be careful when choosing the right type of exercise for yourself. Id your heart is weak, for example, you should start with some light exercise. If you are overweight, know your limits. In a word, don’t overdo it.Task 4: An AnnouncementIV. Speaking OutAsking for and Giving DirectionsModel 1 Where’s…, please?Now Your TurnNew student: Excuse me.Where’s the gym, please?Lisa: You see that library building over there?New student: Yeah.Lisa: The gym is behind it.New student: Thank you very much.Lisa: Any time.Model 2 Sorry, I’m new here, too.Now Your TurnNew student: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the tennis courts?Ashley: The tennis courts? Sorry, I don’t know. I’m new here, too.New student: OK, thanks anyway.(Then the new student asks James.)New student: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the tennis courts are?James: See the Student Activities Center over there? They’re in front of it.New student: Thanks a lot.James: No problem.Model 3 Go straight ahead till…Now Your TurnNew student: Excuse me. I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the school stadium. John: Just go straight ahead till you reach the riverside, then turn right and walk until you see the students’ cafeteria. Turn left, and walk about five minutes. You’ll see HudsonHall, a dorm building. The school stadium is on the opposite side.New student: Thank you very much.John: You’re welcome.V. Let’s TalkJim: Hey Jack, hurry up! The game’s going to start any minute mow. What are you doing anyway?Jack: I’m just making some popcorn. Beer, popcorn, football! What more could you want on a Saturday afternoon?Jim: Yeah, I guess this is the next best thing to getting actual tickets to the game. I’m cool with just watching it here in the dorm. The TV will give us a better view.Jack: It’s gonna be a good game. I’m anxious to see some of the local players in action.Jim: Yeah, should be good… but not for your team. I don’t think they have a chance.Jack: Why not? We’ve got some good players.Jim: Maybe, but the other team has some of the best players in Europe. David Beckham, Michael Owen. How can your guys compete with them?Jack: Of course they’re good, but our local team is also excellent!Jim: OK, if you’re so confident, how about a bet?Jack: All right. Loser pays for a dinner at Pizza Hut after the match.Jim: Fine. I could eat some pizza tonight. Mmm. I can taste it now.Jack: Don’t forget to bring your wallet, Jim. You’re going to need it after you lose.Jim: Goal! Michael Owen. I think I’m starting to get hungry for some pizza!Jack: I think our goalkeeper was distracted.Jim: Yeah, right! (sarcastically)Jack: Hey! Our team’s got a corner. Only two minutes left. Maybe the game will end in a tie. Jim: Ooooh! Too bad, Jack. You guys almost did it!Jack: Well, time is up, and I’m starving. Let’s go to Pizza Hut. It’s on me!For ReferenceaA, say the score of the match excitedly.Wow! The score is 65:67 in favor of Lakers.B, discourage your partner and ask for wait-and-see.Come on!

Some more points!A, sign at the final loss of the visiting team and show your disbelief.Oh, Jesus. How can that be?bA, comment on the general performance of the team.These guys do a good job today, huh?B, agree but say what you see happening on the field.Yeah. They’re really wonderful. Oh, the opposing team scored two goals within THREE minutes!A, show your extreme disbelief.Incredible! 2goal in 3 minutes!B, complain about the poor defense and save.What poor defense and terrible save of the goalkeeper!A, Show your disappointment by promising not to watch the team’s game later.My whole night id ruined. I don’t want to watch their game any more.VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Sports in the U.S.Sports are very important in the U.S. both for 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 played either in local clubs or for teams representing schools. Most major league sports recruit their players from college or high school teams. Specter sports are also a major part of American culture. Many Americans watch sports weekly, if not daily. Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheer on their local teams. Millions 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 with 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.Task 2: WalkingGenerally, people travel by car, bus or subway in America. Rarely is a bicycle used as a method for transportation. In many cities and towns, Americans choose to walk. Walking is considered one of the best way to stay healthy. It is the world’s most natural exercise. About 50 million Americans are active in what is called “fitness”walking. They take short walks a few times each week to improve their health. Fitness walking can be done almost anywhere, anytime. No specialequipment is needed. Experts advise drinking lots of water before and after each walk. They say the most effective way to walk is the natural way. A new study has provided details about the link between walking and your emotional health. A professional at California State University asked a group of students to describe their feelings of energy and tension. Then he sent them on a fast walk for 10 minutes. When the students returned, they reported feeling less tired and more energetic. The professor found short walks could also help make personal problems seem less serious. Indeed, one group of people said their problems didn’t seem as bad as they had been before they went for a fast 10-minute walk.Task 3: The 27th Summer Olympic GamesThe 27th summer Olympic Games were held in Sydney, Australia, in 2000. Thousand of athletes gathered there to take part in the first Summer Olympic of the new century. It was, however, not the first time for Australia to host the Olympic Games. Australia also played host in 1956, when the city of Melbourne was the site of the Games. The 2000 Olympic lasted a little more than two weeks, from September 15 to October 1. The mascot of Sydney Olympic Games was, not surprisingly, a Kangaroo. There were some new events in the 1000 Olympic, such as women’s water polo and weightlifting. The Games were a great success. In sporting competition, athletes broke lots of Olympic and world records. Also, the event was a huge financial success for Australia, especially in the tourism industry.。

Uint7II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptM: Now we have satellite and high-powered microscope, it’s easy to think we know everything about the world; but we still don’t understand EI Nino.W: Right. Scientists all over the world over are even uncertain about the cause of the warm Pacific current that brings storms or drought—the mysterious EI Nino. Q: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?2. ScriptM: Everyone is talking about environmental problem: acid rain, the greenhouse effect, holes in the ozone layer. We should think positively. What can we do to improve things?W:I agree. We could do a lot more to harness the sun’s energy for heating and lighting in our homes. In Japan 43,000 solar roofs were installed in 2002.Q: How do the man and the woman view the environment?3. ScriptW: We lived in Beijing some years ago. It was always difficult to keep the house clean with wind from the north blowing sand from the desert at us.M: That’s why the Chinese government has been encouraging people to plant trees along the edges of the Gobi Desert. Now those trees act as wind barriers.Q: What did the government encourage people to do?4. ScriptM: Many old refrigerators and cars are environmental hazards because they contain CFCs that destroy the ozone layer.W: Yes, but government or organizations are helping people to safely dispose of old refrigerators or, in the case of cars, to upgrade their air conditioning.Q: What are government departments helping people to do?5. ScriptM: Hey, that’s an aerosol spray you’re using on your hair! Build a bomb or set fire to the apartment to kill us quickly instead of making holes in the ozone, so we die of cancer.W: Cool it, man. This spray doesn’t contain CFC s. And you’d better read a littlemore. In 2003 the hole in the ozone layer shrank by 20 percent, so there’s no reason to panic.Q: What does the man mean?Keys: 1.B 2.D 3. A 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InTask 1: We should have proper respect for nature! ScriptMartha: Do you think most people in your culture respect nature?Ed:I think so. Umm…more now than before.Martha: What do you think is the most serious environment problem in the world today?Ed: Today…I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem; and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Umm…through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safely, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safely and stuff like that. Martha:Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on. And also to prevent more problems from occurring. Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Umm…I’d probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor on the ground.Martha:That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I’ m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.While being interviewed by Martha, Ed said more people in his culture respect nature ever before. When asked about the most serious environmental problem in the world today, he mentioned the damaged ozone layer and the pollution in big cities.Ed learned about environmental problem at school. A lot of clubs and some TV programs promote environmental safely. He believes that students should learn more about the environment at school. Then they can be more aware of all the problems and prevent more problems from occurring.When asked about a new law he would like to create to help the environment, he said that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them in the garbage bin. They should be fined if they throw them on the floor. Personally, Ed is so set against littering that he never litters. He always throws his trash into the garbage bin.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptAccording to a report by Australian researchers, the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica will probably start closing within five years. They say it may be completely closed within fifty years. The ozone layer protects the Earth from dangerous radiation from the sun. The hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica almost thirty years ago. At the time, it was three times the size of Australia.The report found that ozone-destroying gases in the upper atmosphere were at or near their highest levels in the year2000. But since then, there has bee continuous progress made toward the recovery of the ozone layer.Satellite information showed that levels of ozone-destroying gases in the atmosphere are slowly decreasing. At its largest this year, the ozone hole covered more than15 million square kilometers. That is down from a yearly average of 23 millionsquare kilometers over the last six years.Chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, are responsible for destroying part of the ozone layer over Antarctica. CFCs have been widely used since the1930s in cooling devices such as refrigerators and air conditioners. CFCs remain in the atmosphere for years.Government scientist say the level of chlorine in the atmosphere is decreasing because of restrictions on the use of chlorofluorocarbons. The chemicals were restricted under an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Under the Protocol, developing countries promoted to cut their use of chlorofluorocarbons in half by the year 2005. They also agreed to an eighty-five percent cut by the year 2oo7.Keys: FTTFTFor Reference1.It was three times the size of Australia.2.They promised to cut their use of CFCs in the half by 2005 and agreed to an 85percent cut by 2007.Task3: A Mild EI NinoScriptThe EI Nino weather condition has returned. However, official at the United States National Weather Service say EI Nino is weaker than usual this year. EI Nino is a change in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four or five years.Normally, water temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean increase near the end of the year. This cause more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby place.At the same time, cold ocean water cause less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during EI Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America, causing unusually high amounts of rainfall there. In contrast, EI Nino causes dry weather in Indonesia and Australia.A strong EI Nino can severely affect the weather all over the world. The last powerfulEI Nino was in 1997 and 1998. It caused major floods in many places. EI Nino also led to extremely dry weather in some other areas. Reports say the weather caused the deaths of about 24,000 people.So experts say having a weaker EI Nino this year is good news. Meteorologists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of EI Nino will begin to show in November in the United States. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say EI Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year’s powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.1.According to the passage, how often does EI Nino happen?2.What normally happens in the western Pacific Ocean?3.What did the EI Nino in 1997 and 1998 cause?4.What is NOT mentioned as a result of this year’s EI Nino?5.What is the central idea of the passage?Kes: 1C 2.A3.

Speaking OutMODEL 1 Our globe is in dangerJohn: How is your Grandma getting along during this usually hot weather? Nora: Over the last few years, Granny has been complaining that the hot, humid weather is killing her. She believes the weather has changed.John: What she means is the climate’s long-term conditions; weather refers only to day-to-day conditions.Nora: Yeah, she says summer is hotter, and winter wetter. But I tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s all in your mind, Granny.”John: She’s right, you know. The greenhouse effect does bring global warming and rain.Nora: How can I explain global warming and greenhouse gases to a 97-year-old Granny?John: Tell her the earth now is like a real greenhouse made of glass panels that let in light and trap heat.Nora: Think she’ll want to know that carbon monoxide from earth makes greenhouse gases?John: Everybody should know what cause global warming; otherwise we won’t stop it.Nora: I’ll tell Granny not to burn any more wood or coal, or to use spray on the hair. John: OK, joke about it, but it won’t be so funny when the polar icecaps melt and oceans rise.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: How are you getting along during this usually hot weather?B: Not well at all. Over the last few weeks the hot, humid weather is killing me. I believe the climate has changed.A: Yeah, the summer is hotter, and winter wetter.B: Do you know why all this has happened?A: The greenhouse effects bring global warming and rain.B: What do you mean by greenhouse effects?A: The earth is now like a real greenhouse made of glass panels that let light in and trap heat. You know, carbon monoxide from earth is a greenhouse gas.B:I see. Everybody should know what cause global warming; otherwise we won’t stop it.A:The important thing is that human beings should take steps to reduce global warming.B: What can we do then? Perhaps we should not burn any more wood or coal.A: Right. Also we should try to produce less CFCs or Freon.B: How can we achieve that?A: Don’t use aerosol spray on your hair, and depend less on air-conditioners and refrigerators..B: But it’s hard to give up all this.A: But we must take action before polar icecaps melt and oceans rise.MODEL2 Rainforests will soon be only a memory.ScriptSusan: Hey, Chris, there is an environmental group on campus asking for donations to save the rainforests.Chris:So what?Susan: So what?! Don’t you want to save the rainforests?Chris: But there’re no rainforests in our country. They need hot, tropical climates. Susan:Come on. A rain forest is any forest where heavy rainfall leads to dense vegetation. Tropical rainforests can be found in hoe, tropical areas, but there are also cool rainforests, including one in southeast Alaska.Chris: How did you know that?Susan: Well, I’ve just read a book on rainforests. You know, 140nillion people live in the world’s rainforests, and 35 percent of the world’s plant and animal species exist only in rainforests.Chris: Wow, I’m impressed. So what else have you learned?Susan:Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers. They are disappearing at a rate of 1000 acres a minute! Chris: It’s terrible!Susan: Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to save them. Now would you like to give adonation?Chris: Sure.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers. They are disappearing at a rate of 100 acres a minute!B:What a tragedy! , Many of the world’s plant and animal species exist only in rainforests.A: We really need to save the beautiful forests.B: Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to save them.A: Do you know our mayor is making a call to plant trees?B: Yeah, we do have to plant more trees. I hear China doesn’t have a lot of forests compared with many countries.A: That’s true. I’ve just read an article about afforestation. China’s forest coverage rate was 18.21percent last yea, ranking only 130th in the world.B: No wonder we have to plat more trees.A: Don’t lose heart. Progress has been remarkable. In 2000 the rate was just 16.55 percent.B: Any other good news?A: China has stepped up its tree-planting efforts. Now it’s the world’s No.1 planter of trees.B: Wow, I’m impressed.MODEL3 What a terrible sandstorm!ScriptSusan: Hey, John. You’re back. A few days ago, a big sandstorm hit our cityJohn: Oh, that’s bad.Susan: The air was full of dirt and sand and dust. I had to wear a scarf around my head.John: The dust, as I know, comes from Mongolia. And from my reading in science, I’ve heard the dust often comes after a long period of drought.Susan: This is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and unfortunately our city is one of them.John: And if the drought continues, the soil is easily airborne. And then if the wind comes, the soil can be lifted up on the cold are that rises up, and it can travelvery long distances.Susan: Normally, when there’s a wind, it can clear the air,and you have beautiful weather. But when the dust is brought in with the wind, then you can’t breathe, you can’t see well, and it’s dangerous for driving, or for walking.John: Yeah. You know, when the dust is lifted up it can go as high 3,000 meters. And it’s not just China that has problems, but many other countries. For example, the middle of Australia sometimes has dust storms, and some of the dust goes up very high, goes across the ocean, and falls down on New Zealand.Susan: Not a very nice neighbor.John: I s there a solution to the problem?Susan: We need to plant more trees and grass so that the soil can stay where it is. John: No wonder the government is launching a new afforestation program in a bid t address the environmental problem.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I’m so glad to be back home, again. Oh, what a clear blue sky!B: Yes, the wind has cleared the air. I hope you still remember the situation a couple of years age; that is, when you were here. Each spring a big sandstorm struck our city.A: Oh, that was bad. That air was filled with sand and dust. I had to wear a scarf around my head.B: I had to cover my mouth and nose with a handkerchief. And facial makes sold well.The dust came from the north, and it often rose after a long dry spell.A: If the drought continued, the soil was easily airborne. And when the wind came, the soil was swept up on the cold air, and it could travel very long distances.B: When the dust was brought in with the wind, we could hardly breathe, we couldn’t see well, and it was dangerous for driving.A: How did your town solve the problem?B: Not only our town. In fact, people in the whole province planted a lot of trees and grass so that the soil would stay where it is.A: I see. The government launched an afforestation project to deal with the sandstorm.The green shelter belt is playing a role.V. Let’s TalkScriptLi: Hi Professor Wang, I’m Li Lin, a correspondent from the University Newspaper. The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and development. What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time? Wang:There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, over-fishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid train, over-consumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, more and more people and governments have adopted a new idea; that is, “sustainable development”.This means today’s economic growth should not wipe out he resourcesand options for future generations. Planning and development shouldensure not only economic growth, but also social advancement andenvironment health. In other words, some economic behavior must berestricted or controlled. Instilling principles of development intogovernment planning, resource management and economic policy is themost important step China could take to solve its environmentalproblems.China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment. For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, thegovernment banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River inorder to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.Still, the basic contradiction between environment and development persists.Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balancebetween economic growth and the environment.Environment Problems air pollution, water pollution, desertification, over-fishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid train, over-consumption of wild animals and plants, etc.Central problems the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.A New Idea sustainable development; it means:(1)Today’s economic growth should not wipe out heresources and options for future generations.(2)Planning and development should ensure not onlyeconomic growth,but also social advancement and environment health.(3)some economic behavior must be restricted orcontrolledWhat China Could Do Instill principles of sustainable development into government planning, resource management andeconomic policyWhat China Has Done China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment.e.g. Following the huge floods of 1998, the governmentbanned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze RiverThe Aim A balance between economic growth and the environment. DebateSAMPLEA:In my opinion, we must give priority to economic growth. At present China’s economy is not strong enough, and the per-capita GDP is much smaller than those of advanced countries.B: I beg to differ. Compared with 30 years ago, the Chinese economy has developed a great deal, and at the same time it has produced a lot of pollution. It is high time we gave environmental conservation serous consideration.A:It seems to me that it’s more urgent for us to improve people’s life. If we don’t boost our economy, we can’t raise the living standards..B: I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that environmental problems are already affecting people’s lives. Didn’t you hear that the poisonous substances factories dump into rivers are killing fish and causing cancer among people?A:Well, you have a point there, but we should be aware that an economically backward nation is also militarily weak, and therefore it tends to be bullied by stronger countries.B: If China wants to follow the trend toward economic globalization, it has to meet the international environmental criteria. Even if you can make a lot of products, they can’t be exported if they are environmentally unfriendly.A: OK, people we’d better combine out point of view and strike a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation.B: That certainly makes sense. What we need is sustainable development.A: To achieve this goal, we have to burn less coal, petroleum and wood because they can’t e reproduced easily.B: Right on, we can rely more on solar energy. We can also make more use of water power if the dams we build don’t present great environmental hazards.A: Also, we should not build so many roads because they occupy so much farmland. B: Yeah, we should turn more to water transportation. By transporting more cargo along rivers and the coast, we can ease the burden on highway transportation.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Thick Cloud of Pollution Covering Southern Asia ScriptA United Nations study says that a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asiathreatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early deaths. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries and power stations. Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves hs made the problem worse. Many poor people burn of fuels wood and animal waste in such stoves.Scientists say this combination could be changing winter rainfall levels in Asia. They say rainfall has increased over the eastern coast of Asia. But it has dropped sharply over parts of northwestern Asia. The report says the cloud could reduce rainfall over northwestern Pakistan, Afghanistan, and western China by up to forty percent.Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall. This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health. Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next thirty years as the population of Asia increase to an Estimated 5,000 million people.1.What is the true of the cloud of pollution?2.What is NOT the cause of the cloud of pollution?3.What does the cloud of pollution bring about?4.Why will the pollution intensify in the next 30 years, according to the passage?5.What do you think is the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.CTask 2: Mountain regions face a number of dangers. ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of theworsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world’s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world’s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055. Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Task3: Digging a HoleScriptA fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, he bought a soft drink.He stood by his car to drink his cola ad watched two men working along the roadside.One worker would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other worker came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old hole.“Hold it, hold it,” the fellow said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?”“Well, we work for the country government,” one of the men said.“But one of you is digging a hole and the other is filling it up. You’re not accomplishing anything. Aren’t you wasting the country’s money?”“You don’t understand, mister,”one of the men said, learning on his shovel and wiping his brow. “Normally, there’s three of us, me, Joe, and Mike. I dig the hole, Joe sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back.”“Yeah,” piped up Mike. “Now Joe is sick but that doesn’t mean we can’t work, does it?”For Reference1.One worker would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The otherworker came along behind and filled in the hole.2. He asked them, “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?”/Heasked them what was going on there with that digging.3.Because one of them was digging a hole and the other was filling it up. They werenot accomplishing anything.4.Normally there were three of them, the worker who answered him, Joe and Mike.The first man dug the hole, Joe stuck in the tree, and Mike put the dirt back. News ReportSanta’s Hometown in DangerScriptWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are signs that Santa’s home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures.The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its warmest winter in 40 years. As a result, there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen, no snowballs and possible not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.More important for local residents, it may mean fewer tourists, as well. Santa’s wintry hometown normally attracts thousands of visitors each year, and millions of dollars.Anne Pelttari-Bergman, the town’s tourist director, worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal. She explains: “Snow is really important for us, of course. For Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism, and also for our winter tourism because winter is our best season. It is really important for us.”Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is a one-time thing.Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas.。

In Cuba he is n’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and becau se that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He oft en missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carl os wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer.

That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way?W: That’s a good question.

That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country.

Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example.W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising.Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time.He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s films?Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see.

Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books. M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London …no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall aslee p. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books!W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So toget her they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how toeffectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should ch ange fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes alittle while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday. V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music.

See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?Harrison: No problem. We don’t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I’m going to need $100.”“I understand,” said his mother, “I’ll send you the money right a way. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?”“Oh, yeah. Thanks,” Robert said.Robert’s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.“Well, how much did you give the boy this time?” asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,” answered Mom.“You’re outing your mind,” yelled Dad, “That’s $1,100. He’ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He’s never going to learn the value of money that way.”“Don’t worry, honey,” Mom said, “I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!”Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biologyterms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certai n period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks q uestions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?7. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8. What is the good thing all top students agree on?9. What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?10. What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DIV.

A lot of young teachers want to be promoted to a professorship.A: What you said has give n us a fairly clear picture of a western professor’s primary responsibilities. Thank you very much for your time.B: You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in o ur educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are ver y intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.Problems ResultsEducators just want to give standardized tests. They only focus on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak” students are separated from the rest of the school. Their grades go from bad to worse.DebateSAMPLEA: Many ads about English classes for ch ildren say, “Don’t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.” I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B: It’s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adul ts usually learn vocabulary and grammar faster.A: You can learn vocabulary and grammar later on; but when you grow up, you can hardly change your pronunciation.B: But if they learn the wrong pronunciation from the beginning? If they don’t learn English w hen they are young in the right way, it’ll affect their English studiesA: Anyway, some good or “key” schools give English tests to kids before admitting them.B: English is important, bur other subjects like Chinese and math ate equally important. If kids spend too much time on English, they have little time left for other subjects.A: Some people say that learning a foreign language can help develop children’s mental abilities such as memory, attention span and concentration, which will e of help in learning other subjects.B: But too much time for studying and too little left for playing, children’s moral and physical development will be affected.A: Well, it’s difficult for me to convince you, and vice versa. Let’s agree to disagree.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people workat Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1001. As par t of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s ex cellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.6. What is main idea of the passage?7. How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?8. What was the role of religion at Harvard University was during is early years?9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of Presid ent Pusey’s fund-raising program?10. What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DTask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, lab s, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty par tying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final examand explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn’t have a spare, and couldn’t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityScriptInternational students often underestimate the amount of time required to apply for admission to a college or university in the United States. You should avoid this mistake by setting yourself a schedule that starts well in advance of the time you hope to begin your studies. When setting this timetable, always remember that doing things early is the best way forward. To find the institution or program that will best serve your academic or professional goals, allow yourself sufficient time to research thoroughly your options. Then meet the application deadlines of the university to which you apply. These may be as much as 10 months before the school term.The need for an early start holds true even if you can apply on the Internet. University websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests, in time to meet application deadlines. In fact, although some students did score high on TOEFL and GRE, they were not admitted because they failed to meet the deadline.For Reference:1. They often underestimate the amount of time required.2. They must allow themselves sufficient time to research thoroughly their options3. They may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms.4. They still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams,that is, standardized tests.5. Because they failed to meet the deadline.News ReportPrince William in ChileScriptWhat goes into a prince’s education today? For Britain’s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm.He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions.Those who took part, called “volunteers”, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As one said, “He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.”The prince said he liked being treated as an “equal” by other volu nteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime.It see ms that there’s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British pri。

OK … now, it’s time to ask the audience for questions. Are there any questions for Baruti? … Yes, you at the back …ViewingScriptsCarlos Acosta is one of the greatest living ballet dancers. He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer.When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know – but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

Could you tell us about your childhood?W: Yes, of course. I was born in a small town in the northeast. My father was a truck driver and my mother worked part-time in a hospital. I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way?W: That’s a good question. You see, it was my experience there that inspired my film Lost in the Forest, although I didn’t actually make that film until several years later, in 2008.I: When did you start making films?W: In 2003. That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we boughta farm in the south of the country.

I was also busy working on my second novel …Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Hi, John. I’m back. Did any of my friends call me? We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up.M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once. Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example.W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising.Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time.He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s films?Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see. The computer, the car, the phone? No, I think it’s the light bulb. This invention has changed the world more than anything else.Q: Which invention does the man think changed the world most?Conversation 5W: Our play last night was a great success. We’re all proud of Bob.M: Yes. But if Bob had remembered all his lines, his performance would have been more natural. Q: What does the man mean?Long conversationScriptsW: Hey, Bob, I’m taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books.M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books!W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

We went out to see what you really think …I = Interviewer; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 2I: Excuse me, ladies. Do you have a moment?W1: Yes?I: Just a quick question.

Do you think it’s true that men prefer blondes, sir?M1: What? No, not at all! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. Look at this photo of Judi Dench. She’s lovely. She isn’t young, but she’s got beautiful grey eyes and she always wears beautiful clothes. She looks kind and intelligent.M2: Yeah, she does.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday.V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music.

Surfing?M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfing since I was 11, and it’s still my favorite activity.

By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in the waves.

The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time?Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies.

This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the festival founders.Unit 3 Life momentsListening to the worldSharing。

Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‟t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‟t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‟s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‟s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‟s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?VI.Further Listening and SpeakingPage 13T ask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Uint2III. Listening InPage 20Keys: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DT ask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the finalexamination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‟s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‟s message”.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?10.What is the main idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 29T ask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A”so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn‟t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn‟t have a spare, and couldn‟t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Uint3III. Listening InPage 35Keys: 1C 2.A3. B 4.B 5.BT ask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.”There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I‟m glad you didn‟t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.11.What was the speaker most afraid of?12.Which of the following is NOT true?13.What did the speaker‟s colleague say?14.Which of the following is true?15.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done? VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 42T ask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20thcentury, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children‟s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company‟s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Uint4III. Listening InPage 49Keys: 1C 2.C3. B 4.A 5.DT ask3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. Y ou can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. Y ou can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” Y ou should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in theadvertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16.What is the passage mainly concerned with?17.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?18.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?19.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”20.What should you say when asked about your strong points?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 58T ask 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewScriptWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It‟s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it‟s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it‟s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won‟t be the end of the world if you don‟t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence.Y our ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it‟s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It‟s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn‟t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don‟t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you‟d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it‟s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.Uint5Page 64Keys: 1D 2.C3.

Y ou will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. Y ou have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Y our address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21.What is the speaker mainly talking about?22.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from yourhome?23.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24.What will the recruiting money tell you?25.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 73T ask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individualcommercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Unit 6Page 80Keys: 1D 2.A 3. B 4.C 5.III. Listening InT ask3: Fighting T een SmokingScriptThe percentage of teens who smoke cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Y outh Risk Behavior Survey. It‟s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens‟motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won‟t have much effect on teen who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don‟t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that still means morethan one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today‟s young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement.26.What percentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?27.What happened in the 1990s, according to the speaker?

I need everything I can get just to stay alive?”“Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?””Are you nuts? I haven‟t played golf for 20 years!”The mad said, “Well, I‟m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I‟m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”The bum was surprised, “Won‟t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I …m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.”The man replied, “That‟s OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who‟d given up drinking, gambling, and golf.”Uint7Page 97Keys: 1C 2.A3. D 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InT ask3: A Mild EI NinoScriptThe EI Nino weather condition has returned. However, official at the United States National Weather Service say EI Nino is weaker than usual this year. EI Nino is a change in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four or five years. Normally, water temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean increase near the end of the year. This cause more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby place. At the same time, cold ocean water cause less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during EI Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America, causing unusually high amounts of rainfall there. In contrast, EI Nino causes dry weather in Indonesia and Australia.A strong EI Nino can severely affect the weather all over the world. The last powerful EI Nino was in 1997 and 1998. It caused major floods in many places. EI Nino also led to extremely dry weather in some other areas. Reports say the weather caused the deaths of about 24,000 people.So experts say having a weaker EI Nino this year is good news. Meteorologists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of EI Nino will begin to show in November in the United States. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say EI Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year‟s powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.31.According to the passage, how often does EI Nino happen?32.What normally happens in the western Pacific Ocean?33.What did the EI Nino in 1997 and 1998 cause?34.What is NOT mentioned as a result of this year‟s EI Nino?35.What is the central idea of the passage?VI.

ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world‟s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world‟s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South Americaare among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year. In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.。

In Cuba he is n’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and becau se that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family.

Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punish ing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So toget her they cleaned u p the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

The latest data from a survey show that in XXXX, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time?Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the fest ival founders.。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

Everyone told her to get a different job, and that shewouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books.M: Y eah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester.

Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So tog ether they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can disco ver a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday. V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes. M3: The thing I alw ays think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything.V: So, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here?
