However, nearly all require some break in one's job in order to attend school full time.Part time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, usually lasts a long period of time, As a result, many people find it almost impossible to complete a degree program. In addition, such programs require a fixed time, which can produce some bad effects on one's job and family time.Of the many ways of teaching and learning, however, perhaps distance learning can be said to fit our needs. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows students to study at a speed that is comfortable for them. In this way, students enjoy a good opportunity to achieve the educational goals necessary in today's world.The time required to study can be fixed according to the students' actual needs and wants. In addition, students can participate in distance learning courses from almost any place in the world. They can receive teachers' help through the online course, by telephone and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs have a lot of benefits. For example, students don't have to travel away from home to take a test. The distance learning course is the same as the courses students have at college. The degree offered is also the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. In fact, a good distance learning program is popular not only with the students but also any company or business that wants to work for the educational benefit and business development of the company.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the talk, what is meant by part time education?2' What is one of the major benefits that distance learning offers to the students?3. How many benefits of good distance learning programs are mentioned in the talk?4. How can a business benefit from distance learning programs according to the speaker?5. What benefit does distance learning bring to a worker in a business according to the speaker?Key: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. F 5. TPassage twoIn order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to get over the fear of making mistakes. If the major goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are second in importance and may be dealt with bit by bit as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may notice how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions are different from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Chinese speaker who has been saying "I'11 do it" lo express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers, realize that native speakers actually say 'Tll do it," when they mean "right now." The resulting gap can serve as a base for the student to change his way of using the present form in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn better.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard, c6. What does the speaker mainly discuss in the talk?7. How can language learners reduce the number of their mistakes?8. What will happen to foreign language learners who do not communicate with native speakers?9. Why shouldn't foreign language learners worry too much about making mistakes?10. What does the speaker say about the use of mistakes in foreign language learning? Key: 6. F 7. T 8. T 9. F 10. FPassage threeMany Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, they are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a native speaker. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.It's common that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves. Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you arespeaking? Don't be shy! They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more.I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What does this talk mainly discuss?12. Why are so many Chinese students good at writing English but poor at speaking English?13. Why are so many Chinese students afraid to speak to native speakers?14. How can we speak English well?15. What does the phrase "get rid of" mean in the talk?Key: 11.F 12. F 13. F 14. T 15. FTask 2 Passage oneImagine you are a doctor of medicine from Japan. You are at an international meeting in Europe. You want to communicate with a doctor from Africa. What language do you speak with him? The answer is probably English.Today, nearly 600 million people around the world use the English language. Only half of them speak English as their first language.Why is English useful for international communication? For one thing, many books and papers in special fields are in English. As a result, people with great knowledge in these special fields often learn English. Such people from different countries can use their English for international communication. English is really a world language.Key: 1. C 2. A 3.B 4.C 5.DPassage twoMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, political methods, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn skills in order to make a living. Traditional education is very useful and important. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's main job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to remember some facts or a formula. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Edison didn't even finish junior school. He made so many things for us. These scientists were so successful, but their teachers only showed them the way. The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard ail their lives, wasting not a single moment. Most important was that they knew how to use their brains.Kay: 6. C 7.D 8.D 9.C 10.DPassage threeWhen you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word. What's the best way to learn it?You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about a word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and how to use this word. But how can you know where to find a word among thousands of English words? How do you find it both quickly and correctly in the dictionary?First, all the English words are listed in alphabetical order. In the dictionary, first you will see all the words beginning with the letter A, followed by those beginning with B, C, and D and so on. That means with two words like "desert" and "pull", "desert" must come before "pull".Then, if two words both begin with the same letter, you look at the second letter, then the third, the fourth and so on. For example, "pardon" comes before "plough", "judge" before "just", and so on.Do you understand now how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friends. I hope you'll use it as often as possible in your English learning.Key: 11.D 12. D 13. A 14. B 15.

Young people thought true success was a matter of self-satisfaction. And self-satisfaction included reaching one's goals and achieving happiness in one's own way without paying attention to rules, duties, or the opinions of others.Most parents found it hard to accept their children's thinking. They themselveshad been brought up to respect traditional values; they had also learned to respect money because it was hard to find during their teenage years. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s, at a time when it was difficult to give their children a carefree life. A married couple's first duty, therefore, was to think of their children's happiness. If the parents felt tired and unsatisfied, they didn't dare admit it: it was not done. On the other hand, while Mom and Dad were going without things, they expected their children to obey the rules of "nice" manners, and to grow up into adults that make parents proud. These were the very ideas against which the young rebels of the 1960s rebelled.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the passage, what did children think of their parents?2. What was true success according to young people?3. What did most parents learn to do when they were young?4. What did parents think was their first duty?5. What did parents expect their children to be?Key: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. T 5. TPassage twoMy grandfather lives with us and he's making my life a pain. When I was small he was kind and happy. But now he's always negative and finding fault. I mustn't break in when he's talking. It's not polite. He doesn't like my clothes. "Nice girls don't dress like that." I shouldn't wear make－up. "Existing beauty is best." Sometimes he disturbs my homework. "When I was young we used to do maths differently," he says. Honestly, he's so old he doesn't know anything. But that doesn't stop him from finding fault with me. He doesn't like my friends or my favorite records. "You're making too much noise," he calls, "I can't get to sleep." When he's not being negative, he asks questions, "Where are you going? Where have you been? Why aren't you helping your mother?" He thinks I'm six, not sixteen. Anyway, why can't I do what I like? It's my life, not his.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. What is the talk mainly about?7. What does the speaker's grandfather think she should do?8. Why does the speaker's grandfather sometimes disturb her homework?9. When does the speaker's grandfather stop being negative?10. Why does the speaker's grandfather never stop bugging her?Key: 6. F 7. F 8. F 9. T 10. FPassage threeDavid Brown and Ann Ramos are two patients participating in the Adult Day Care Program at Mercy Hospital.David Brown is seventy-two years old. He's friendly and likes to talk. He lives with his wife in a small flat in the city. But David is becoming forgetful. His wife says, "He'll heat up some soup, then forget to turn off the cooking equipment." She is sixty-one and still works. She's worded about leaving her husband alone by himself. Ann Ramos is eighty and lives with her daughter, who is sixty. Her daughter says that she needs a break. "Mom follows me everywhere. She follows me from room to room when I clean. She sits down next to me when I read the newspaper. She even follows me out of the house when I take out the refuse. I need a break and she does, too." And so, several times a week, David and Ann's families take them to the Adult Day Care Center. Many hospitals now offer this program.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Who are David Brown and Ann Ramos?12. What does the speaker say about Ann Ramos?13. What's wrong with David?14. How often do David Brown and Ann Ramos go to Mercy Hospital?15. What can we learn about the Adult Day Care Program?Key: 11. T 12. T 13. T 14. F 15. FTask 2Passage oneWhen I was a child there were some people whose ideas I respected. My uncle John, I thought, knew everything about the world; he had traveled and seen all there was to see. I believed anything he told me about places like Japan, Australia and America. When I was 16 years old I got the idea that my parents, while they were very nice people and I loved them, really didn't know very much. I, of course, knew everything. Then, when I was 18, I realized my mother and father had learned a lot in just two years. I now respected their opinions on different subjects. It took two years of growing up for me to realize that they had had these opinions and ideas all the time.Key：1 A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 APassage TwoNine out often parents hit their children according to a report printed today. But many of them also feel that hitting is wrong. The report also says that parents often do not understand their children's bad ways.Although about nine out of ten parents use hitting as a punishment, half of them feel shame about using it, while the other half do hit their children and think they are right. It seems most parents we talked to hit their children more than once a week and five percent actually hit their children every day.Parents should make more efforts to understand their children; hitting isn't always the best answer if children are bad. If parents tried harder to understand how their children feel and why they act in certain ways, it would be better not to hit them because when a child's acting badly, she/he needs love and attention, not anger and violence.KEY: 6. D 7. A 8. A 9. D 10. CPassage threeWhen my father died, my mother insisted on living by herself. I wanted her to marry again, but she said she wanted to be free. But she didn't depend only on herself at all, you see, because whenever she had any problems she would bring them to me, and she was the kind of person who always made everything difficult, so it never stopped. Paul began to hate her for it, but I was sorry for her, you see; she was so without help... I couldn't just leave her, could I? Paul said I did far too much for her, and she never said thank you for anything, never showed me the kind of love normal mothers show their children. In fact in the end she was charging me with stealing from her. And when Paul heard that he blew up and said that we would never have a proper marriage unless we got away from her. In fact he warned me he would leave me if I didn't leave her.KEY: 11. C 12. C 13. D 14 B 15.

When I reached the age for starting school, I saw all the other children going and I wanted to go, too. My parents just shook their heads when I asked them. My grandmother tried to comfort me, but tears fell down her cheeks. A few days later, the headmaster of the school and Mrs. Wen came to our house. They said they would carry me to school every day. Early the next morning Mrs. Wen came and carded me on her back for half a kilometer to school. From then on she carried me to school and home every day. One morning there was a big rainstorm. The rain poured down and the wind was so strong that it nearly blew the trees down. I was just thinking that surely the teacher would not come when the door opened and in came both she and the headmaster. They carried me to school as usual. Last year an article about me appeared in the newspaper. Not long after that I received a letter addressed to me. It was from a doctor who had read about me in the paper. He is an old doctor in his 70s. He wanted to try to cure my illness. He studied my case carefully and decided he knew a medicine that could help me. After taking it for six months, I'm much better. I'm looking forward to walking to school like other children some day.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.

FPassage twoIt was not until John was almost a year old that Karen and David Smith began to suppose that something might be wrong. The Smiths took their son to a doctor to find an answer. This began a journey to doctors, special medical doctors, hospitals and clinics that lasted for over a year. Finally John was found to be suffering from developmental disorder. The doctors pronounced that John would probably never speak. The struggle to discover John's problem was only the beginning. Now the Smiths were faced with the task of trying to find help for John-- a search that offered little hope. Encouraged by one book titled "Let Me Hear Your Voice", and another book "Me Book", they developed a special helping program, a method of one-on-one help for 36 hours a week. This began the journey to pull John into the real world. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. What did the Smiths think about their son when he was about a year old?7. What did John suffer from according to the doctors?8. Why did it take doctors such a long time to make their decision?9. Why didn't the Smiths give up hope to find help for their son?10.

After a few months he suffered what appeared to be a stroke. He lost the use of his right hand. Little by little his case was getting worse and worse. Today he can move his mouth and his lips and he can talk, although much more slowly than when he was well. In every other way, he is completely not able to help himself. He has to be fed, to be moved in a wheelchair and he cannot sit up for very long. Most of the time he spends in bed with the continuous attending of his wife, who has managed so far to care for him at home. His care is her sole and continual concern. Both she and Tom have given way to the disease unwillingly, an inch at a time. Tom has been forced to have experimental drags as well as blood removed and replaced, a job that took five days in the hospital. He remains in good spirits. Both he and his wife openly discuss the future. His doctor has given him about three months more, butas his wife says, "They said that a year ago, and he's still here. That's because he's a fighter." Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.1 l. Why didn't Tom believe he was attacked by cancer?12. How did Tom's wife look after him?13. Why do Tom and his wife openly discuss his future?14. What does Tom do every day according to the story?15. What does the speaker suggest about Tom's future?Key: 11. F 12. F 13. F 14. F 15. TListening Task 2Passage oneBeginning in the 1960s American women started entering jobs and work positions that had been taken over almost completely by men. In the ! 970s, another pattern appeared in work choices: men began entering jobs and work positions held before by women. When John Smith started in nursing school nine years ago, his father took it hard. "Here is my father, a steelworker, hearing about other steel workers' sons who were becoming soldiers and miners, or getting baseball money to pay for school costs," Mr. Smith remembers. The thought of his son becoming a nurse was too much. Today, Mr. Smith, an official nurse, earns about $30,000 a year at the New Town Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. His father, he says, has changed his mind. Now he tells the fellows he works with that their sons, who can't find jobs even after fouryears of college, should have become nurses.KEY: 1. A 2 A 3 C 4 A 5 BPassage twoPeter Richards, the owner of a jewelry store which was left to him by his grandfather after his death, was the loneliest man in town. One winter afternoon before Christmas, a little girl, after carefully studying each piece of jewelry in the window, went into the shop. "Please would you wrap up that beautiful piece in pretty paper for me?" she said to Peter. "Are you buying it for someone?" Peter asked. "It's for my big sister who takes good care of me. You see, this will be the first Christmas since our mother died. I've been looking for a really wonderful present for my sister." "How much money do you have?" asked Peter. From the pocket of her coat, she took her hand full of pennies and put them on the table top. "This is all I have." Peter looked at the little girl with that yellow hair and blue eyes. Something made him feel once again the pain of his old sadness. Several years ago, he had loved a girl whose hair was as yellow as the shining sun and whose eyes were as blue as the sea. But one night when it was raining, she was struck by a car and died. What the little girl did made him remember again all that he had lost and at the same time brought him out of that world of self-pity. So Peter quickly removed the price card on the piece so that she could not see it. Then he wrapped it in pretty Christmas paper and tied it with green ribbon. "Here you are," he said, "Don't lose it on the way home."KEY: 6 C 7 A 8 B 9 C 10 DPassage threeIn 1980, when a sudden pain struck 14-year-old Ma Wenzhong, a Grade 3 student in a middle school, he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought something must be wrong with his legs and it would pass soon. Ma Wenzhong didn't tell anyone about this, as he was studying for the coming entrance examination to a senior high school. He passed the examination with a top score and continued his study until he was in Grade 2, when he found he couldn't move his legs any more. The local doctor sent Ma Wenzhong to a large city for further medical examination. What he got there was very shocking: all his muscles, from limbs to internal body parts, would waste away, and he was dying! But Ma Wenzhong didn't give up. To reach his goal to be a teacher, he began to teach himself. In winter, his hands were frozen with cold; in summer, his bottom was hurting from long sitting. Finally, he finished all the required courses for high school students and some college courses. Up to now he has been working, heart and soul, as a personal teacher for over 13 years.KEY: 11 C 12 D 13 A 14 B 15 C新视野大学英语听说教程第四单元原文和答案Understanding wordsTask1：1. relax ,2. humor 3. absorb 4. contact 5. entertain6. depressed7. conscious8. consistent9. audience 10. reactionKey: 1.(B) 2.(A) 3.(C) 4.(A) 5.(A) 6.(A) 7.(A) 8.(C) 9.(A) 10.(B)Task2：1.impression 2. presentation 3. successful 4. straight 5. express6. addressing7. attitudes8. appear9. humor 10. audience Understanding sentencesTask1: 1.

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 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, Carl os wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer.

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 b e 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.

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.。

What's the best thing about it?M: In an online class, you talk with others over the Internet. Since they are not right next to you, they don't bother you so much.W: That sounds great! I took a class with someone who would make me feel small whenever I made a mistake. He would tell me how stupid I was and intimidate me so that I never wanted to participate.M: Not a problem in the virtual classroom. How would you like to sign up? I think that you could start on the third of next month.W: I don't know, Bill. You know all those problems about having difficult people in the classroom?M: Yeah?W: We don't really have them anymore since you left.Transcript:The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum.I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn't shown up. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class."Hey," I wrote, "which one of you is the teacher?"The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. "Humor will be important in my class," she said.2-----------W: How about spending the evening chilling out with the folks?M: Come on, Mom. I'd really like to get out with my friends.Q: What does the young man want to do?W: Honestly, I don't know what to say about our son's music.M: Leave him alone about it. After all, your mother didn't like your music either. Q: What should the woman do according to the man?W: I'm surprised to see you out and about so early in the morning.M: You know my mom. She doesn't like me sleeping in, even on weekends.Q: Why is the man out and about so early in the morning?M: A little teenage rebellion is normal. Your son will get over it.W: I know. I'm just worried about him doing something that will ruin his life. Q: Why is the woman worried about her son?W: Get a piercing in my nose? No way! My parents would be angry!M: You're not giving them enough credit. I don't think they'd be upset at all. Q: Why wouldn't the woman get a piercing in her nose?W: What bugs you most about your daughter's eating habits?M: I can't stand the way she eats so quickly.Q: Why does the man have a problem with the way his daughter eats?M: What's wrong with our kids? They think they're entitled to everything we have! W: Well, I feel it's my fault for giving them too much.Q: What does the woman think about their kids' problems?W: Dad, I've got a date tonight with Mike. I'll be back late.M: Him again? I wish you wouldn't date a guy with a tattoo!Q: What does the father wish for his daughter?W: My mother wants me to go into banking, but I like writing.M: You can't let your mother choose your career for you.Q: According to the man, what should the woman's mother NOT do?W: Dad, I'm a grown woman, and you can't make choices for me.M: Ha! If you were a grown woman, you wouldn't watch cartoons all day!Q: Why does the girl's father NOT believe that she is a grown woman?M: You should get a sense of humor, Mom.W: I'm sorry, but I just don't think that breaking shop windows is funny.M: If it isn't funny, then I don't know what is. These shop windows only show things out of date and out of fashion. They're misleading. Anyway, it's fun to break old stuff.W: And that's what I'm saying. You don't know what's funny. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed movies and going out with my friends, not causing trouble or breaking things. M: This is just the big difference between your generation and mine.W: No, it isn't! I know teenagers of your age, and they don't have your bad attitude! And they certainly never break shop windows!M: Whatever, Mom. I've got to go now.W: Huh? Where do you think you're going?M: I don't know. Maybe I'll go out and break stuff.Transcript:"Educator methods", such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my "educator methods" failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At theend, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her.3---------W: In order to have a meaningful life, you must be ready to give and sacrifice.M: I agree totally. And I try to remember this every day.Q: What will be possible if you give and sacrifice according to the woman?W: Do you think we should give aid to people in need?M: I think it's the least we should do for them.Q: What should be done for people in need, according to the man?M: Believe it or not, my baseball coach taught me a lot about being kind.W: That really isn't so unusual. After all, it isn't always parents who teach us. Q: Who taught the man to be kind?W: Why do you let your little sister cling to you all the time?M: Since our parents died, she needs me more. I can't push her away.Q: Why does the little sister need the man more?W: My mother never complained about hard work in front of the family.M: Wow, that's something to learn from!Q: What did the woman's mother never complain about?W: You've got to meet my father. He's handicapped and he has a lot to share. M: I'd like to. You just tell me when.Q: Why should the man meet the woman's father?M: I saw you talking to your mother at dusk.W: Yeah, even though she's busy she always finds time to talk to me. That's why I love her so much.Q: Why does the woman love her mother?W: Hey, I heard you spend your evenings at the home for the elderly.M: Some evenings. I'd like to go more, but I don't have time.Q: How does the man feel about going to the home for the elderly?W: You are the first person to extend help when I needed it.M: Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for.Q: Why does the man tell the woman NOT to worry?W: My mother never interrupted me while I told her my problems.M: Sometimes that's the best way to help someone.Q: What did the mother do to help the woman?Transcript:W: I heard a bang on my way to class this morning.M: Some guy brought a gun to school and tried to shoot someone.W: You're kidding! Is everyone OK?M: Yeah. The teacher managed to take the gun from him.W: Our history teacher?M: That's the one.W: He never stops amazing me.M: He was definitely the right person at the right time. After he hit the student and grabbed the gun, he talked to the boy about his problems. While I was on the phone with the police and the parents, he was holding the student. If I was not mistaken, I thought the student was crying.W: Did the teacher help the boy solve his problems?M: I don't think so. The student was clearly bothered by something pretty big. I don't think problems like that can be solved so quickly. But, when the police came to take him away, our teacher told him that he would see him again.Transcript:The friendship and sympathy of a special person changed my life, and I'd like to tell you about it. Looking at me now, you might not guess that I was not very popular when I started my university studies. I was thin and didn't look very handsome with my glasses. In fact, my classmates still laughed at me, just as they did in high school. One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past me and knocked the books out of my hands.I was feeling sad and lonely. But then, someone else approached me and helped me pick up my books. That day, I made my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved.I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how to talk to girls, and above all, how to be social.4----W: I'd really like to make a good impression in class.M: Well, so long as you pay attention, you shouldn't have a problem.Q: How can the woman make a good impression in class?M: I've had a good rest, and am ready to make a good impression on my boss.W: That's the attitude! You're going to be great!Q: What is the man ready to do?M: You've become so mature since I last saw you.W: Nah, it just seems that way because I'm wearing nice clothes. I'm really still like a child.Q: According to the woman, why does she seem different?M: Don't look so aggressive. Calm down and look relaxed.W: OK, I'll remember to smile during my meeting with my new boss.Q: What will the woman remember to do?W: My boss never notices me. I think I lack the skills to get a better job at my company. M: No. You just need to have more confidence in yourself.Q: What does the woman lack according to the man?W: I'm sure you'd be promoted if you wore better clothes.M: You might be right. But clothes are expensive.Q: What might help the man get promoted?M: My status will never improve if I can't make others believe in me.W: Improve the tone of your voice, and others might trust you more.Q: How can the man get others to trust him more?M: How did your interview go?W: Great! I stayed positive, like you said earlier, and I think I got the job! Q: What did the man tell the woman earlier?M: I took an instant liking to you. W: No way! I was so awful to you the first time we met!Q: Why does the woman NOT believe the man?W: It'd be easier for you to persuade people if you don't look so nervous.M: I know, but I really can't change the way I feel.Q: How could the man persuade people more easily?W: Stand up straight!M: What?W: Your head should be up, and your back should be straight! Looking people in the eyes is very important!M: I appreciate your help, but I'm only going to a job interview.W: I assume you want this job. Am I right?M: Of course I do.W: Then listen to me! You'll make a good impression if you show self-confidence. But don't look too rigid. You want to seem a bit relaxed.M: Anything else?W: Yeah. You should tell them a joke.M: A joke?W: Everyone likes a joke. Do you know any?M: I know one about a fight between a Frenchman and a German.W: No! Don't joke about countries, sex, or religions. You could upset someone. M: I don't think I can remember all of this. Maybe I should just stay home.W: Honey, don't worry. You'll be great! Just stand up straight!Transcript:There are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know.To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talk about the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company's special needs, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.I see smart, good-looking people every day, but the ones that leave me with the most remarkable impression are those who know about the company. Do this, and you'll be in good shape!5-------M: The battle against AIDS involves all of us, you know.W: Sure. I'm doing my part by teaching AIDS awareness-raising classes.Q: How is the woman doing her part in the battle against AIDS?W: Some doctors say that AIDS will be cured in ten years.M: Maybe. But even so, we shouldn't stop our battle against AIDS.Q: What do some doctors say?M: What can we do for the 8,000 people who die of AIDS every day?W: Let's write letters to the leaders in the federal government and ask them to support AIDS research.Q: What is the purpose of writing letters?W: Have you heard that our group is forming a network with other groups?M: Yes. We need more AIDS groups to join together so our efficiency will improve. Q: Why are the groups forming a network?M: Let's explore ways to fight AIDS that we haven't tried yet.W: OK. What do you think about writing a publication to educate the public?Q: What is the woman's idea for teaching people about AIDS?W: I'm confident we can stop AIDS by teaching people about it.M: Education will help. But AIDS won't be stopped until a cure is found.Q: When will AIDS be stopped according to the man?M: Some AIDS groups emphasize education and some emphasize research.W: Yeah, maybe you're like me, and you don't know which to join.Q: What is the woman having trouble with?W: If people were more giving, our group would have more resources in the battle against AIDS.M: You're right, but we can't force people to help.Q: What would happen if people gave more?M: I've been thinking about joining an AIDS organization after graduation.W: Don't wait that long! AIDS is a world crisis, so we must fight against it now! Q: Why must the man act now?W: I started educating people about AIDS when I discovered I was infected.M: Lots of people help for many different reasons. I'm glad you're here.Q: Why did the woman start educating people about AIDS?Transcript:W: I know many people who are active in the battle against AIDS. Take my uncle for example. He's trying to find a cure.M: That's great! Has he made any progress?W: Some. Right now he's working on a medicine to clean the AIDS virus out of the body. M: How is this medicine different from others?W: Some AIDS medicines can help a little. But the AIDS virus is so good at hiding that it remains. This new medicine will be able to find the virus and get rid of it. M: So why isn't this medicine being used now?W: Well, it's not ready yet. Doctors are concerned about the side effects, like a bad reaction to the use of other AIDS medicines.M: I'm very impressed with what your uncle has done. I'd like to do the same kind of work some day.W: That would be good. But until then, you could at least give money to support research.Transcript:A young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he's afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease. This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world's poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines. In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won't solve all of the problems.6-----M: Do you know what is meant by Consider Collar Colors Carefully?W: It means we should think about our beliefs about job status.Q: What does Consider Collar Colors Carefully mean?W: Since you became an executive at the firm, you never have time for the kids. M: I know. All the respect and money I get now isn't worth missing my children. Q: How does the man feel about being an executive?M: My aunt visits schools to convince girls to become plumbers.W: I'd be surprised if many girls listened to her. Most want to work in offices. Q: What would surprise the woman?M: Did you hear the big news? The vice-president died! And I might get his job! W: Are you sure you want it? The job was what gave him the heart attack!Q: Why should the man think more about taking the job according to the woman?W: I really admire people who work hard to build roads and clean the city.M: That's nice to hear. Many people don't respect laborers.Q: According to the man, what is nice to hear?W: You had options after college. Why did you choose to be a window washer?M: I think it's exciting to be high up, outside of tall buildings.Q: Why did the man choose his job?M: It took me 30 hours to write that proposal. I haven't slept, and I want to cry. W: It's finished now. And you can relax by playing some golf.Q: What might make the man relax according to the woman?M: The image of trash men being dirty is wrong! Many of them are very clean. W: I believe you're right. Still, I'm not sure I'd like to become one.Q: What do the two speakers agree on?W: Since you work in an office, you can wear nice clothes every day.M: To be frank, I'd rather wear a T-shirt than a suit.Q: What would the man like to dress for work?M: I'm getting tired of the rude comments we get as garbage men!W: Just ignore them. We know our work is important, and that's all that matters. Q: What should the man do according to the woman?Transcript:M: When we were kids, we didn't think much about social status. We played the part of doctors or plumbers and didn't really understand why one was better than the other. W: Right! We didn't consider collar colors carefully. Later, we learned to respect people like business executives, lawyers, and doctors more than others.M: Do you think we learned the right idea?W: Yeah, I do. Some people are more important than others for society. A plumber, for example, does important work. But he can be replaced easily. A doctor, on the other hand, does important work and it is difficult to replace him. We should, then, respect people like doctors more.M: What about plumbers? Shouldn't we respect them, too?W: Everyone who works hard should get respect, but it's not necessary to respect everyone the same. Of course, I'm friendly and nice to my plumber, but I don't think he's as valuable as some people.Transcript:There was a time when I was afraid to tell people I am a construction worker. Nowadays,I'm proud of it. In fact, I boast about it.My life changed one day when my daughter came home from school and told me that I had a better job than any of the parents of her classmates. At first, I was surprised.I knew many of her classmates had parents who were important business people. I reminded her that business people get more respect from society, often make more money and work in an office.She told me that I didn't understand what was important in life. Respect, money and offices aren't as important as time. Businessmen must work long hours, so they can't see their children as much. Building houses, I only work six hours a day. This gives me more free time to spend with her.7----W: So, did you buy guns for sport or for trouble?M: Neither! I bought a couple of pistols to protect my home.Q: Why did the man buy guns?M: What's the problem? Keeping a gun in my home for safety isn't a crime.W: In this country it is against the law. You'll have to give it to the police right away!Q: What is the problem with the man having a gun?M: My anxiety level always goes up when I see someone late at night.W: You wouldn't be so worried if you carried a gun, like I do.Q: Why does the woman NOT get worried?M: My daughter was arrested for having a pistol at school.W: I know. She told me that she brought it because she didn't feel safe.Q: What does the woman know?M: It's usually males who cause problems with guns. I don't know why.W: Men are just more violent by nature, I think. They cause many problems.Q: Why do males cause most problems with guns?W: I'm cautious when I'm out. I pay attention and stay out of trouble.M: If you continue to do so, you won't have to worry about needing a gun.Q: Why does the woman NOT need a gun according to the man?M: Did you see what the robbers looked like before they started shooting?W: They had on nylon masks, so I couldn't see. I was scared when they shot at me. Q: Why could the woman NOT tell what the robbers looked like?W: I heard that you shot your gun in the house yesterday. Did you see a robber? M: No. I fired it by mistake while polishing the handle. I should have been more careful.Q: Why did the man shoot his gun in the house?M: I became an advocate of tougher gun laws after my son was killed.W: I know you mean well, but I don't think you're doing what he'd want.Q: What does the woman doubt?M: Will you reveal the cause of gun violence at this meeting?W: No. Gun violence is not simple enough to understand in such a short time.Q: Why will the woman NOT tell people the cause of gun violence?Transcript:M: Before the robbery, cases of gun violence were only statistics to me, numbers that I would read in the newspaper. But now, things will never be the same.W: What do you remember?M: I remember everything that I would like to forget. Most of all, I remember the shots. Bang! The sound of the first bullet being fired rang in my ears. I turned and saw a victim collapse. She grabbed her chest. And then, in a moment, she was still. W: You just stood there?M: I was so scared; it was like I was frozen.W: Why did they do it?M: The robbers? They wanted money, of course. But I blame society for allowing people to have guns.W: I don't think I'd like it much if I was told I couldn't have a gun. Having a gun makes me feel safer.Transcript:Millions of people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence, and many of them think guns should be destroyed. I understand how they feel, but I don't share their opinion. Since I've owned guns my entire life, my thoughts on this issue are different. The reality of the situation is that guns don't kill people. People kill people. So we should think less about the problems of guns, and think more about the problems of people. We should think about joblessness and poor education, which are at the foundation of this issue. And we should act to reduce these problems by promoting better schools.Education shows us how to rise above violence, teaching us how to be responsible and how to support ourselves by our work. More people need to learn these important lessons, and then we can reduce gun violence in society.8-----W: Rack your brain for creativity and you will solve your problem.M: I hope you're right. But it doesn't seem like I'll ever be a great painter. Q: What is the man having trouble with?M: What are you doing just sitting there daydreaming? You've got work to do!W: Before I start anything, I like to rack my brain for creativity first.Q: What does the woman like to do?W: It's a miracle! How did you finally solve the math problem?M: The answer just came to me out of a dream.Q: How did the man solve the problem?M: You're a great inventor. How do you get your great ideas?W: They usually come to me suddenly when I'm well rested and relaxed.Q: When does the woman get her great ideas?W: Please, tell me how you get ideas for your novels.M: Ideas burst into my mind while I'm walking in the park. I don't know how.Q: When does the man get ideas for his novels?W: I just can't think of a good topic for my essay! I don't know what to do! M: Try running. Exercise always helps me clear my mind and think of ideas.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do to think of a good essay topic?W: When I turned 50, ideas just started flashing in my mind. It was mysterious. M: I've heard stories like that. It's really not unusual.Q: What has the man heard before?W: I just came up with an idea for passing this test!M: Quick! Write it down! Ideas are fleeting! And it may be our only hope!Q: Why should the woman write the idea down?M: Countless great musicians and artists have created great works for the church. W: Do you think that religion gives people the ability to open their creativity? Q: What does the woman wonder?W: Years ago, it was easy for me to create new ideas. But now, I have none.M: Maybe you should see a psychologist who can help you.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?Transcript:M: You better start working! Our boss will come any moment!W: I've already seen her. And I'm doing what she told me to do.M: She told you to sit around and do nothing?W: No! She told me to rack my brain for creativity.M: What?W: To rack your brain for creativity means that you think hard for a creative answer to a problem. Before I start my work, I want to think of the best idea possible. When it flashes into my mind, I'll begin.M: Hey, that's what I was doing last week! But when she saw me doing it, she threatened to fire me!W: No. You weren't thinking of ideas. You were just sleeping. There's a big difference.。

新视野大学英语听说教程第一册短文部分听力文本Unit1The first 1 for my online language class was to meet in an online forum.

(D)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONS(Emma, Bill and Tim are talking about friendship.)Emma: How important are friends to you, Bill?Bill: I've never had a lot of friends. I've never regarded them as particularly important.Perhaps that's because I come from a big family -- two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins.That's what's really important to me. My family. The different members of my family. If you really need help, you get it from your family, don't you? Well, at least that's what I've always found. What about you, Emma?Emma: To me friendship.., having friends.., people I know I can really count on... to me that's the most important thing in life. It's more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life.Bill: And what exactly do you mean by a friend?Emma: Well, I've already said, someone you know you can count on. I suppose what I really mean is... Mm... let's see, how am I going to put this.., it's someone who will help you if you need help, who'll listen to you when you talk about your problems.., someone you can trust. What do you mean by a friend, Tim?Tim: Someone who likes the same things as you do, whom you can argue with and not lose your temper, even if you don't always agree with him. I mean someone you don't have to talk to all the time but can be silent with, perhaps. That's important, too. You can just sit together and not say very much sometimes. Just relax. I don't like people who talk all the time. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard:1. What does Bill think of friends?2. Whom does Bill usually turn to when he runs into difficulties?3. What does friendship mean to Emma?4. According to Emma, what may love lead to?5.

Look, I promise I'll do it this weekend. W: Listen, I know the feeling. I'm tired, too. But I came home and I did my share of the housework. I mean, that's the agreement, right?M: All right. We agreed. I'll do it in a minute.W: Come on. Don't be that way. You know, I shouldn't have to ask you to do anything. I mean, w e both work, we both live in the house, we agreed that housework is...is both of our responsibility.I don't like to have to keep reminding you about it.M: What's the matter with you today? You are displeased.W: It's us.M: What do you mean by "us"?W: Well, we used to talk to each other before we were married. Remember?M: What do you mean? We're talking now, aren't we?W: Oh, yes, but we used to do so much together.M: We still go to the cinema together, don't we?W: Yes, but we used to go out for walks together. Remember?M: Of course, I do.W: And we used to do silly things, like running barefoot through the park...M: Yes. I used to catch terrible colds. Honestly, you are being totally ridiculous.W: But we never argued. You used to think I was wonderful. Once...(sound of the door opening) Where are you going?M: Back to live with my parents. That's something else we never used to do before we were married. Remember?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the conversation you have just heard.6.

One evening while they were eating in a restaurant, Peter said to Rhoda: "You know, Rhoda, you're the only girl I really know well. We are both very young, and I think we must try to make new friends and have new experiences. If we still love each other after all that, then we can get married.""That's true, isn't it? But I don't want to stop our relationship, do you? We can see each other, can't we? ""No, Rhoda, not for a while.""I guess you're right, but I'm going to miss you very much.""I'm going to miss you, too, Rhoda."The months passed. Rhoda and Peter were very lonely. Rhoda finally decided to try a computer dating service. She filled out an application which stated what she liked in a person. Soon the phone rang. It was Andre Legros who received her name from the computer service. They arranged to meet that evening for coffee. While she was waiting for Andre, Peter came in. She asked him:"What are you doing here? ""Well, I have a blind date for tonight with a girl named April May. It's a computer match. What are you doing here? ""I'm waiting for my blind date. His name is Andre Legros."After a few minutes of awkward silence, Rhoda began to laugh. She said:"I'm April May."Peter looked surprised. After a moment, he said:"And I'm Andre Legros. This was no mismatch, was it? It was meant to be."Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard:1. How many years were Peter and Rhoda going steady?2. What did they decide to do one evening?3. Why did Rhoda try a computer dating service?4. How did Peter and Rhoda feel when they first knew the truth?5.

One evening, when her husband came home, she spoke to him about it."Look, dear, " she said, "you must talk to George. He left school three months ago, but he still hasn't got a job, and he isn't trying to find one. All he does is smoke, eat and play records."George's father sighed. It had been a very tiring day at the office."All right, " he said, "I'11 talk to him.""George, " said George's mother, knocking at George's door, "your father wants to speak to you.""Oh! ""Come into the sitting room, dear.""Hello, old man, " said George, when George and his mother joined him in the sitting room."Your father's very worried about you, " said George's mother. "It's time you found a job.""Yes, " replied George without enthusiasm.George's mother looked at her husband."Any ideas? " he asked hopefully."Not really, " said George."What about a job in a bank? " suggested George's mother, "or an insurance company, perhaps? ""I don't want an office job, " said George.George's father nodded sympathetically."Well, what do you want to do? " asked George's mother."I'd like to travel, " said George."Do you want a job with a travel firm then? ""The trouble is, " said George, "I don't really want a job at the moment. I'd just like to travel and see a bit of the world."George's mother raised her eyes to the ceiling. "I give up, " she said.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard:6. What did George's mother ask his father to do?7. How did George's father feel after a day's work?8. When did George leave school?9. What did George want to do after graduation?10. What can be concluded from the passage?Passage3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending -- the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine's Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers, and their families. Popular songs tell us that "all the world loves a lover". A popular saying is "Love conquers all". Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they a l so believe that it is the best basis for marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love. Americans consider marriage a private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure. Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard:11. What is the most popular subject of all forms of entertainment?12. Who is interested in the subject of love?13. What do most Americans think of romantic love?14. What factors do young Americans consider when choosing their own marriage partners?15. What does an American couple plan to do when they marry?Passage4"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family -- hence the great importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them -- they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband,and she gets no dowry.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard:16. What does British marriage indicate?17. What should the husband and wife do in a traditional British family?18. Who decides everything in a family?19. What can be learned from novels like Pride and Prejudice?20. How do present-day girls differ from those in former times?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (A) 4. (A) 5. (D)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (B) 8. (C) 9. (C) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (D) 13. (A) 14.

M: Aren't you watching the movie on TV?W: What's on tonight?M: Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. Have you seen it before?W: No, never. But I've heard of it. So are you watching it?M: It's not until 8.Q: What does the man mean?2. M: Do you know something about Charlie Chaplin's childhood?W: Yes, I do. He was born in a poor area of South London in 1889. He spent his childhood in poorly-furnished houses. He wore his mother's old red stockings cut down for ankle socks.His mother was temporarily mad and was in and out of mental hospitals.M: How about his father?W: He was never sure who his real father was. Although he pursued learning passionately in later years, young Charlie left school at 10 to work.M: But when he grew up, he made a great success in films.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?3. W: Which do you like better, comedy or tragedy?M: I prefer comedy.W: Who is your favorite comic character?M: The great comic character of the Tramp created by Charlie Chaplin. This little man in rags gave his creator permanent fame.W: The Tramp? You're kidding. I mean you can't be serious. The Tramp ... he is a bit, well, crude.M: Well. You're obviously missing the point. Middle-class audiences in England in the1920s and 1930s also thought the Tramp a bit crude, but the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. W: What nationality was the actor? Do you know?M: He was British, but actually he quit Britain for good in 1913. He journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on stage.W: And then talent scouts recruited him to work for the king of Hollywood comedy films, Mack Sennett.M: Yes, that's right. In fact he is more popular in other countries than in Britain.Q: What does the man mean?5. M: Do you want to hear my new record?W: Yeah, sure. Who's it by?M: The Rolling Stones.W: The Rolling Stones? Oh, great. It's one of my favorites.M: Yeah, mine too. I'm crazy about the band. Did you see the show on TV last week?W: Yeah, wasn't it great! By the way, do you enjoy going to concerts?M: That's all right, but I like listening to records better.Q: What does the man think of the band?6. M: I was terribly embarrassed when some members of the audience got up and left in themiddle of it.W: Well, maybe some people just can't accept such a tramp character who sports a tiny moustache, huge pants or tail coats.M: But such a character helped its creator achieve world-wide fame.Q: What does the man mean?7. W: Have you seen the movie about a college-educated gentleman who has come down in theworld?M: Yes. And the man had many different personalities.W: That was an interesting movie! I hope you enjo~:ed it as much as I did.M: I must admit that it's far from being my favorite kind of movie. That's for sure.Q: What does the man imply?8. M: It seems that you're extremely enthusiastic about the songs and films of Elvis Presley.W: Yes, I love his songs very much.M: Could you tell me why?W: He changed the face of American popular culture. And he was unique and irreplaceable.M: I honestly can't see what you're getting so excited about!Q: What are the speakers' attitudes towards Elvis Presley?9. W: Well, what do you think of Chalie Chapin?M: You mean the great comic? He was an immensely complex man, to a certain degree, he was even unusual in the ranks of Hollywood stars.W: And it is said that his huge fame gave him the freedom, and more importantly, the money to be his own master.M: That's right. He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?10. M: Would you like to go to the movie with me tonight?W: Yes, I'd like to. What's on?M: It's Ghost.W: Oh, great! I heard about that film several years ago. It was very unusual, but I couldn't find time to see it.M: Do you know that the main character was played by the famous Hollywood film star Demi Moore?W: Yes. Actually this film helped Moore achieve fame. After that she is generally believed to be one of the top Hollywood stars, gaining big box-office successes one after another.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?11. W: How did you like the performance?M: Generally speaking, it was very good, but I thought the conductor was a bit inexperienced.W: Inexperienced? But he has won many awards.Q: What does the woman imply?12. M: I've read the review of the film. I must say that I couldn't agree with the critic more.W: What does it say?M: It says that Chaplin didn't have his jokes written into a script in advance.W: Really?M: Yes. He was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. The critic says that lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make "contact"with himself as an artist and he turned them into other kinds of objects.Q: What is the man's reaction to the review?13. M: You know so much about old movies. I'll bet you saw a lot when you were young.W: Not as many as you might think.M: What kind of movies did you like most at that time?W: I liked Chaplin's movies most. In the movie The Pawnbroker, a broken alarm clock becomes a "sick" patient undergoing surgery; and his film The Gold Rush, boots were boiled and their soles eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts of fish.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?14. M: Do you know why his comedies were so popular at that time?W: I think there are some secrets.M: Secrets?W: Yes. The physical transformation and the skill with which he executed it again and again are surely the secrets.Q: What does the woman say about the popularity of the comedies?15. M: Have you ever seen the movie Modern Times?W: Once, I think.M: It was the first film in which Chaplin was heard as a singing waiter, and he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality.W: We are used to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent", but it was a headache for him when he could no longer resist the talking movies. He postponed that day as long as possible.M: Until Modern Times was produced in 1936.W: Yeah. In this film he found "the right voice" for his comic character -- the Tramp.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?16. M: Are you sure you can't remember the name of the film?W: It's ... it's just on the tip of my tongue!Q: What does the woman say about the film?17. W: Oh, hey, can you turn that up a little?M: Sure. Do you like music?W: Oh, yes, of course.M: What kind of music do you like?W: All kinds, but my favorite is jazz, blues and rock' n' roll.Q: Which of the following is not the woman's favorite music?18. W: Someone said that the two sides of Chaplin were reflected in his films.M: What were the two sides?W: On the one hand, he had a deep need to be loved, but on the other hand, he had a corresponding fear of being betrayed.M: Were the two hard to combine?W: Yeah, and sometimes -- as in his early marriages -- the collision between them resulted in disaster. Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations. The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl who'll be waiting to walk intothe sunset with him; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for women.Q: What is implied about Chaplin's early marriages?19. W: Could you tell me something about his marriage?M: Yeah. As a complex and private man, he had a weakness for young girls. His first two wives were 16 when he married them. His last, Oona O'Neill, daughter of Eugene O'Neill, the great American dramatist, was 18.W: So he married three times in his life?M: Yes. In fact in Oona O'Neill, he found a partner whose stability and affection narrowed their 37 year age difference. So it's a relief to know that life eventually gave him the stable happiness it had earlier denied him.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?20. M: Do you know when Chaplin died?W: He died on Christmas Day, 1977.M: Did you hear what happened after his death?W: I heard that a few months after his death, a couple of almost comic body thieves stole his body from the family burial chamber and held it for money.M: Is that true?W: Yes, but the police recovered his body after that. People can't help feeling Chaplin would have regarded this strange incident as a fitting memorial -- his way of having the last laugh on a world to which he had given so many.Q: What happened to Chaplin's body?Key: 1.

Listening InTask 1: The Internet on CampusThe Internet, a worldwide information network, is used at universities mainly as an information supply source. Staff supply information via the Internet and students may access it or any other publicly available information. The Internet is also useful for students to communicate with staff. Teachers may present lecture materials in lecture halls, and at the same time, they can distribute the materials for students to access from any location at any time via their computer. Such materials are preesented mainly in the form of text, still pictures and hypertext links. Students find this valuable and relevant to their needs. If they must miss a lecture, students can still keep up to date. Staff users may put up notices of conferences, maintain professional contacts, and communicate and conduct discussions with their colleagues or students. Students, on the other hand, are taught haow to use the Internet as an individual productivity tool in several courses.1. A2. D3. A4. A5. CTask 2: Surfing the NetW: Hi Bryan. Hare you doing? You look tired.M：Oh, I’m a little burnt out. I’ve been surfing the Net for the last few hours.W: Were you doing schoolwork, or was it just for pleasure?M：Well, I wanted to get some information on South America for a project I have, but I found a really interesting chat site with people from there and started chatting.W: Well, did you get the information you needed?M：Yes, but then we spent lots of time chatting about other interests.W: I see. The Internet is a wonderful place. There is so much information available. I completely understand how you can get distracted. Sometimes I find myself looking for one piece of information, but by the time I am finished I have a lot more than I started off looking for.M：I know. One thing I really don’t like about it, though, is it takes so much longer to find things, because many sites are useless.W: Yes, there’s that, and also, I often find the same site over and over again in a search. That definitely wastes lots of my time.M：And, of course, there are sites that offer little to no relevant information on the topic you are searching for. In my search today, I found quite a few sites that were nothing more than old local news archives and event calendars.W: Well, I’m sure they were useful to someone at some time, but they should be removed when they’re no longer of use to anyone.M：I agree. With all the time I spnd on it, I still find it to be the best source of information available.And speaking of information, I really should read through what I got on the Internet and start working on my project.W: Okay. Good luck. It’s funny we had this chat, as I was just on my way home to surf the Net myself.M：Well, it was nice talking to you, and maybe I’ll meet you in a chat room later tonight.1.Surfing the Internet for the last few hours.2.Some information on South America for a project he had.3.Because there is so much information available.4.It takes so much longer to find things because many sites are useless.5.She thinks they were useful to someone at some time, but they sgould be removed when they’reno longer of use to anyone.Task 3: Internet AddictionOver the years, studies have shown that it’s possible to become addicted to the Internet. Actually, college students are most likely to have the addiction because of many factors. Difficulty in adapting to life away from home, and certain psychological problems like depression or social anxiety are among the main reasons. College students have lots free time to spend and many of them are supplied with free Internet access and a computer in their doorms. It’s really easy to get addicted. Walking through the computer labs, you are most likely to find students chatting or surfing on the Internet. There are not just some, but many students not really doing anything related to schoolwork. They are spending far too much time online, which may do harm to their schoolwork and other activities. As a result, some have been academically dismissed, and others are even in the danger zone for developing an addiction needs to be addressed now as a serious problem on college campuses.likely adapting psychological access dorms chatting related dismissed gamblingTask 4: A Brief Introductionhonored as our guest computer hacking protect books and articles misuse New Threats to Security wake your interestIV.

What do you think I should do?Nicole:If uou ask me, you just need to have your connection checked.Christopher: Maybe you’re right. But, to tell the truth, what I really need is to have my own computer.Nicole:Why? As far as I’m concerned, that’s not necessary when you’re living on campus.Model 2 In my opinionAshley: Hey Mike, what are you doing online?Michael: Well, I’m getting some ideas for my term paper.Ashley: Ideas? Well, I personally think we should think for ourselves.Michael:It’s easier said than done! Working with the Internet is much faster , you know.Ashley: But, in my opinion, that’s a form of plagiarism.Michael: Come on, Ashley. I never quote the passages; I just use their ideas.Model 3 As I See it, …Maria: I’ve got to do two assignments this week, but the Internet is not always a timer saver. Jessica: Searching on the Internet? Don't’t you think it’s hard to find the right information for your assignments?Maria:No, just the opposite. There’s too much information. I start looking for one thing, and see something else.

Let’s TalkAnne: John! You’re playing computer games again?John: Hi, darling. I’m just surfing the Net.Anne: Oh, my gosh! You’re becoming a Net-addict!John: Come on, Anne. I find the Internet very useful—I can find anything. Want me to search for the number of Net-addicts in America?Anne: John, you spend more time on the Net than with me. It’s kind of unhealthy!John: Unhealthy? Here, just feel my muscles. I like Atlas—I can lift the world with the Net. Anne: Stop joking, John. You spend hours closed up in your room, with just your computer for company, like a recluse. It is as if you lived in a computer!John: Not really. I am in touch with the world through the Web.Anne: But it is not the same. You need to interact with people, play real games, and enjoy nature.Your virtual world is a form of… of… escapism.John: The real world could use some escaping form, don’t you think?Anne: You know, John, it is not just you; most young people—even children—spend so much time on the Net that it is not only affecting their eyesight but also their personalities. They arebecoming unsociable…John: Anyway, look at the positive side: the amount of useful information available on the Web is amazing.Anne: I know that. As long as the Internet is only a virtual girlfriend, I won’t have to worry about it.John:2,4,6,8Anne:1,3,5,7For ReferenceaA, say hello to B and ask what he is doing online.Hi,Brian.

Seems you’re doing editing work.B, respond to A.Well, I just downloaded an essay from the Net, and have got to make some changes for my literature class.A, make comments on B’s practice.What? Downloaded an essay? Are you crazy? We’re supposed to write papers by ourselves.B, try to justify your act.Sounds easy! But I don’t have the time. Besides, I’m not into literature, you know.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: The Origin of the InternetThe story of the Internet begins in the late 1950s. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. ThePentagon set up a research team in 1958 to create a computer network to operate during disasterslike a nuclear war. The resulting network linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It grewinto the World Wide Web or the Internet that became the network system of the Information Age. In1985, the National Science Foundation created a network which provided a free national service toany U.S. research and education institution. Later, large corporations began to build their ownnetworks. All those networks finally joined the Pentagon’s network to form the Internet. By the1990s, anyone with a computer, a modern, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. In thefuture, the Internet will probably grow more complex and become part of a larger network called the information highway. With that people could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many otheractivities online.Task2: The Internet—A Small TownThe Internet is a global network, but in many ways it’s like a small town with similar services to of fer. There are electronic post offices to send and receive e-mail, functioning somewhat more efficiently than the Post Office we know. There are libraries of information that stay open 24 hours a day with millions of books and documents to browse or search through on the World Wide Web or WWW. You can also enjoy real-time text-based communication, using written or printed material to communicate with others immediately and almost “face to face”. Local coffee shops are seen in the guise of chat room, with pe ople dropping by at all hours of the day and night to socialize. Online education and training is available just as it is in a “bricks and mortar” university or school. Online banking offers you all the services available at your local bank, without fearing to be mugged at an ATM. You can buy almost anything, listen to your local radio station or do your grocery shopping. Indeed, the Internet is your town in a box!Task3: If only life could be like a computer!To get your daily exercise, just click on “run”!If you need a break from life, click on “suspend”.Hit “any key” to continue life when ready.To “add/remove” someone in your life, click settings.To improve your appearance, just adjust the display settings.When you lose your car keys, click on “find”.You could click on “send” and the kids would go to bed immediately.To feel like a person, click on “refresh”.Click on “close” to shut up the noises.To undo a mistake, click on “back”.Is your furniture getting old? Click “update”.If you messed up y our life, you could press “Alt, Ctrl, Delete” and start all over!Speaking1. F2. T3.T4.F5.T。

Listening InTask 1: Weather ForecastingWe all know that it’s not possible for man to control the weather. But we can tell what important changes there will be in the weather in the short term. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near; this is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and then rain will probably come. If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning, then the day will be arm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the stars twinkle at night, then fine weather will come the next day.1.B2.D3.C4.A5.DTask 2: Wrong Weather ForecastM: Hey, Jane! Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?W: Yeah. They’ll all be here at eleven sharp! I’ve got all the food and drinks for the barbecue, and Tom is bringing the grill.M: OK. I’ve got that old net; we can use that for beach volleyball.W: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve invited Class 2 and 3 as well. We’ll be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another; that’ll be great fun.M: Did you check the weather? I hope it’s going to stay nice for the weekend; we can’t have a picnic in the rain.W: No worries! I watched the weather forecast last night, and the weatherman said it’s going to be fine—maybe a little cloudy, but DEFINITELY no rain!(next morning)M: There’s terrible weather! It’s raining buckets!W: There’s no way we can go out in that. Those weatherman are useless—I hope they had a picnic today too.M: I don’t know what’s happened to the weather these days. When I was little, we never had this much rain in the summer.W: I AGREE. And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well? We always used to get snow in January. Now winter is more like spring!M: You’re telling me. I bet it’s all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that’s changing the weather.W: Oh, global warming and all that.M: I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on the picnic.1.They are planning to have their picnic on the weekend.2.They will be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another.3.It’ll be fine, and maybe a little cloudy, but there’ll be definitely no rain.4.Those weatherman are useless.5.All the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer are responsible for the changeable weather. Task 3: Global Climate ChangeToday, scientists have found that the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere have changed the global climate. These gases are largely due to human activities, such as the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. It is estimated that the average surface temperature of theearth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃by 2100. This rate of warming is significant. The oceans will heat up and glaciers will melt. As a result, the global average sea level is expected to rise by 15-95 cm by 2100. In that case all coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Also, around the world weather events such as storms and floods will become more frequent and intense. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. So we must take effective measures to produce fewer greenhouse gases that cause it.Global climate is causes by the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere. These gases are largely due to the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. Scientists estimate that, by 2100, the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃and global average sea level will rise by 15-95 cm. All coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment.Task 4: An AnnouncementFriday looks really good. Sunny all day with a daytime temperature of 70 degrees. But bundle up Friday night, as the temperature will drop sharply. On Saturday, it will be cold and cloudy in the morning with strong winds. In the afternoon, there’s a good chance of snow flurries, and the temperature will only reach 37degrees! On Sunday morning it will be cloudy, with some rain showers in the afternoon. But temperatures will rise to 50 degrees.IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnLisa: Sarah, would you mind not keeping the window open? All my papers have been blown off the desk and onto the floor!Sarah: I’m sorry. I didn’t realize the wind was so strong. You’re working on a paper?Lisa: Yeah, it has to be turned in this Wednesday.Sarah: Oh, I almost forgot! I’m going to give a presentation tomorrow morning, and I haven’t read a word yet!Lisa: Come on, you shouldn’t leave everything till the last minute.Model 2 It’s terrible!Now Your TurnAshley: Wow! What a wind! It’s terrible, isn’t it, Kathy?Katherine: You bet. There’s a dust storm blowing up.Ashley: Yeah. You could get blinded if you go outside.Katherine: The weather forecaster recommends staying indoors.Ashley: That’s the best we can do.Model 3 Take careNow Your TurnJames: How do you like my new motorcycle, Robert? I’m going to ride it into town.Robert: It’s cool1 But don’t you think it’s snowing too hard today?James: I don’t mind. What I really like is style, and riding a motorcycle is really stylish. Robert: Take care. Safety counts more than style.James: I know. But it’s thrilling to ride in the snow.Robert: Then, you’ll have to run the risk of having a bad fall.V. Let’s TalkEmma: Michael, whereabouts in China are you from?Michael: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about you?Emma: I’m from Scotland.Michael: Oh? What’s it like?Emma: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cols and often wet.I’m sure it’s the coldest part of the British Isles.Michael: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it’s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it’s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!Emma: Well ,I think you’re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland’s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.Michael: Do you think people’s personalities are defined by the climate they live in?Emma: Well, that’s an interesting idea. I think there’s definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it’s cooler, I feel much calmer. Michael: If it’s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!Emma: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.Michael: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.Emma: What about the winter blues? What are they?Michael: Well, that means you’re down in the dumps, because the weather’s so gloomy and cold.You feel all sad and blue! I often get them.Emma: Oh, I don’t. I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.Michael: A,B,E,GEmma: c,d,f,hFor ReferenceAA, complain about the awful weather.What awful weather! It’s going to rain, I think.B, agree with A and complain about the weather forecast.I think so. Why did the weather forecast say it’s going to be fine today? They always make suchmistakes!A, promise you will never believe the weather forecast.Yeah. How can they be so stupid? I’ll never believe the forecast anymore!B, make a suggestion about what you do today.Forget about it. We can go to see a movie. What do you think?A, say what you think of B’s suggestion.OK, maybe we don’t have other choices.BA, complain about the hot weather.Ugh, I’ve had enough of these dog days. I am sweat all over.B, invite A to swim and take a sunbath.Why not go swimming and take a sunbath with me?A, say you are good at skiing but mot swimming.I am not a good swimmer. I wish I could go skiing in the North.B, persuade A to swim by promising to be his/her guide and lifeguard.Oh, come on. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I’ll be your guide and lifeguard. Do come with me. Alright?A, give your response to the invitation.No, the sun burns your skin. I’d rather sit before an electric fan eating ice creams.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Dust StormsAmerican researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to human health in the United States. The dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the sate of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and higher rates of allergies and breathing problems in people in this area.1. human health dust clouds2. the Sahara Atlantic Ocean South America3. October Central America the Caribbean4. the United States Florida the skies5. dust storms allergies breathing problemsTask 2: Mental Energy and SeasonYou may not believe that our mental energy varies from season to season. But some people think that it does. Research has shown that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. Scientists have discovered that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. Spring spears to be the best period of the year for thinking. People seem to be a lot sharper in spring than they are in any other season. One reason may be that in spring people’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in nature. Fall is the next-best season, then sinter. Summer seems to be the best time to take a long vacation from thinking. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of most people tend tobe lowest in summer. Be aware of these facts, and you will bring your talent into full play.1.F2.T3.F4.F5.TTask 3: Raining in My HeartThe sun id outThe sky is blueThere’s not a cloud to spoil the viewBut it’s rainingRaining in my heartThe weatherman says fine todayHe doesn’t know that you’ve gone awayAnd it’s rainingRaining in my heartOh misery, miseryOh what’s gonna become of me?I tell myselfMy blues won’t showBut I know that soon all my tears will flowCome a raining downRaining in my heart…。

M: Let’s call the weather office. I know the phone number. It’s 661-3047. If the weather is going to be bad, we’ll have to wait for another week.

Task 2: Wrong Weather Forecast
M: Hey, Jane! Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?

2. W: I’m so sorry, but the general manager isn’t back yet. Can I take a message for him?
Task 1: Weather Forecasting
We all know that it’s not possible for man to control the weather. But we can tell what important changes there will be in the weather in the short term. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near; this is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and then rain will probably come. If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning, then the day will be arm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the stars twinkle at night, then fine weather will come the next day.
W: What number are you calling, sir?
M: His number in Florida is 511-0897.
W: Well, first, dial 011, then dial 1, the area code for North America, and then the area code 305 for Miami. After that, dial your friend’s number.
3. M: Do you have Simon’s mobile phone number? A well-known scientist from the States is giving a speech on global warming in the Science Museum. I’m sure Simon would be interested.
M: I don’t know what’s happened to the weather these days. When I was little, we never had this much rain in the summer.
W: I AGREE. And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well? We always used to get snow in January. Now winter is more like spring!
M: OK. I’ve got that old net; we can use that for beach volleyball.
W: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve invited Class 2 and 3 as well. We’ll be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another; that’ll be great fun.
5. M: Hello. I’m calling form Beijing. I’ve learned from the Internet that a hurricane is approaching Miami. I’d like to call one of my friends there immediately. Can you tell me how to make an international call?
Today, scientists have found that the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere have changed the global climate. These gases are largely due to human activities, such as the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. It is estimated that the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃ by 2100. This rate of warming is significant. The oceans will heat up and glaciers will melt. As a result, the global average sea level is expected to rise by 15-95 cm by 2100. In that case all coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Also, around the world weather events such as storms and floods will become more frequent and intense. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. So we must take effective measures to produce fewer greenhouse gases that cause it.
