The explosion and fire happened near a fuel-loading area owned by Nigeria’s National Petroleum Corporation. This is the latest in a series of pipeline fires in Nigeria this year. The fires have killed hundreds of people. The government says people who steal fuel from leaking pipes caused some of the fires. It also blames people who cause damage on purpose.2.More than 50 people are dead in Nigeria after a leaking oilpipeline burst into flames outside the commercial capital Lagos.The blast and resulting fire Thursday ripped through an area neara fuel-loading depot owned by the state-run Nigerian NationalPetroleum Corporation. Witnesses report seeing burned bodies littering the charred grounds while many other victims are being treated for injuries sustained in the blaze. A spokesman for the petroleum company says the fire was caused by a vandal.Ski resort wire aboard operator unhurt crewB1.a cable car accident at a ski resort in northern Italy2.a.

One car plunged about 100 meters into the snow, killing everyone aboard. An operator was rescued unhurt from a second car left dangling in the air after the accident.The plane returned to its base 60 kilometers away, the crew unaware of the accident. Commanders of the base have since started an investigation and suspended all low-level missions in Italy until further notice.Questions:a.What is the cause of the disaster?b.How many people have been killed?c.How far away is the military base?d.What have the commanders of the base done since theaccident?C1.floods and landslideVenezuelaHomes of 140,000 – 150,000 people destroyed30,000 people killedpoor city planning15 billion dollars2. a. to give quick and generous aid to Venezuelab. to build new housing for those homeless peoplec. in stadiums, car parks, airports and military barracksd.plain areas away from the coast1.Venezuela --- tens of thousands of people affected by recentfloods and landslides are preparing to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays in shelters. Officials estimate that the homes of as many as 140,000 people were destroyed. Venezuela officials say the floods and landslides may have caused the death of as many as 30,000 people. Experts say poor city planning was a major cause f the damage. Many houses were built on weak ground of on the side of mountains along the northern coast. The Venezuela Defense Minister says survivors need to cooperate with government efforts to move them away form the coastal area.2.The United Nations has urged the international community togive quick and generous aid to Venezuela to help it recover from last week’s devastating floods and mudslides. Aresolution passed in the general assembly said it was deeply concerned over the tremendous loss of life and severe destruction of the country. As many as 30,000 people are thought to have been killed. Officials have estimated the relief and reconstruction efforts as costing some 15 billion dollar. Officials here say that reconstruction efforts could take several years to complete. They say the priority is to build new housing for the 150,000 people who’ve been made homeless. These people are now sleeping in emergency shelters set up in stadium, car parks, airports and military barracks. President Hugo Chavez says that he is looking at several different places across the country in which to build new houses, all in plain areas away from the coast. Mr. Chavez says that the government will not rebuild houses in the parts of the northern coastal region destroyed by floods and landslides. Relief efforts are continuing in damaged coastal regions Questions:a.What has the United Nations urged the internationalcommunity to do?b.According to Venezuela officials, what is the priority now?c.Where are the emergency shelters set up?d.According to President Hugo Chavez, where will the newhouses to built?Part III1.heavy rains / the spread of2.people’s hopes of a good season3.one of the best monthswhole life / not a season like this / not rains like thiscrops flooded / difficult / meet requirements / consumers /crops destroyedstruggling / not supply 100% / somethinghello! For the last two weeks, we’ve reported how heavy rains have contributed to the spread of Rift Valley Fever in Kenya. This week, we hear how the continuing torrential storms in that region are washing away Kenya horticulture’s hopes a good season.Sarah Rannoe is just back form Nairobi.Now there’s never a good time for heavy rainfall such as this. But for the horticulture industry, Sarah, this must be a particularly bad time for heavy beating rain.Well, January should be one of the best months for growers of fruit,vegetables and flowers in Kenya. Hot, dry, sunny days and peak production destined for consumers shivering in the European winter and longing for a taste African sunshine. But in Kenya, as elsewhere, the weather is not behaving as it should. Months of rain, often torrential, is washing away hopes of a good harvest. Flowers are reluctant to flower. And perhaps worst hit are growers of peas and French beans.“In the whole of my life and I’m talking about somebody who is over 60 years old.I’ve not experienced a season like this. The whole of that period, I’ve not seen rains like this in January in Kenya.”James Masengi, chairman of the Fresh Produce Exporters’Association of Kenya, who speaks not only for his members but out of personal and bitter experience.“Crops are flooded. We are finding it even difficult to meet the requirement of our consumers because crops have been destroyed.”Are you going to be able to keep your business orders up to date? Are you going to complete your export orders?Yes we are struggling very much to keep the export orders. In some places, we are not able to supply them 100 percent, but we are supplying something.James Masengi.BVery little happiness disease pressure / slows down growth / production down 30%Some / deficiencyIf sunshine in the next month / catch up a lotNo / sales on contract priceMaizeThreat of diseasePick & transport / nightmare / roads / impossible conditions听力原文：And for growers of roses, the flower associated with love and romance, there’s very little happiness in the air. Ian Maroe is managing director of CN Roses Limited, one of Kenya’s leading rose exporters.“Cold, cloudy, wet weather increase disease pressure and slows down growth. So our production is probably down a six-month figure, is down 30%.”Are you disappointing your customers?“Some. We try to keep the more important ones contented, but some are definitely disappointed. Definitely. Y eah.”Do you think you’ll be able to pick up over the course of the season?“The bad weather as such will continue for a depressingly long time according to the forecast. But if we get sunshine in the next month or so, we’ll be able to catch up quite a lot.”Are you making up the short fall in production by an increase in price?“Uh, no, because a lot of our sales are on the contract price.”Ian Morae.And I should add that even more of Kenya’s crops are in trouble. Maize has suffered badly. Coffee is under constant threat of disease. And although tea is growing well, getting it picked and transported is a nightmare on roads that become all but impossible in these conditions. But the greatest fear is that the rain could be followed by the opposite: drought.Unit 10Part I warming upAFirst of all, locate the gate at the bottom of the page. When you walk into the compound, the first building on your right is the Out-Patient Department (2), the first on your left is the Emergency Department (1). If you want to go to the Physicians Department, take the first turn on the left and walk straight ahead. You’ll see a fountain spring. Pass by it and walk in the same direction, you’ll see the Physician Departmen t (5). If you want to get your blood tested in the Laboratory, walk straight along the Main Road until you reach a roundabout. Turn left from the roundabout and walk a few minutes. Take the right turn and the first building coming into your sight is the Laboratory (8). Another building on the X-ray Department (9). If you turn left from the roundabout and walkahead until you reach the end of the road, you will see the Eye, Ear, and Throat Department(6). The building next to it to the north is the Dental Department (7). If you want to visit your relatives or friends who are hospitalized, you got the Ward, which is not difficult to find. Take the right turn from the roundabout and a small lake will come into your view. The winding road along the lake will lead you to the Ward (11). If you go past the roundabout and walk along the Main Road for a few minutes, you will see a building on your right. That’s the Administrative Building (10). Well, where do we get the medicines? From the Dispensary (4). That’s the bu ilding facing the Out-Patient Department on the north side of the road. Another building on the north side of the road is the Surgery Department(3).B:2 teaspoonfuls, not exceed 15 teaspoonfuls per day.Half of the adult dosage, not exceed 7 teaspoonfuls per dayDrowsinessExceed recommended dosageChildren under 6Individuals with high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetesDrive or operate machineryDiscontinue use and consult your physicianChronic coughRemember to check the dosage before you take this medicine.

These chemicals block the action of some substances produced in the bodies that cause cancer. Tea contains the same substances in fruits and vegetables. Drinking tea could protect people’s health.Cigarette smokers of any age reduce their risk of developing lung cancer when they stop smoking. It is never too late to stop smoking.Walking has a good effect on the heart because it reduces blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol level. It is never too late to start exercising.Vitamins are necessary for good health. However, extremely large amounts of some vitamins may cause health problems. It is far better to get vitamins from eating fresh, natural food than from taking vitamin pillsLaughter is one of the most wonderful release. It releases the chemical that is life-enhancing and life-elongating. It heals wounds and promotes a healthier being.D:They have found that fatness can spread form person to person in social groups.A friend / a 57% increased chanceup to 4% of adults and up to 8% of young childrenThey can result in trouble breathing and in some cases death.extreme heatThe nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature and this causes great stress on the human bodyto rest for a short period in the middle of the dayOne study found that persons who sleep fro a few minutes during the day were less likely to die of heart disease.Researchers say they have found that fatness can spread from person to person in social groups. When one person gains weight, close friends often gain weight, too. The study was published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study showed that when a person becomes severely overweight, there is a 57% increased chance that one of their friends will be, too. A sister or brother of the overweight person has a 40% increased chance of becoming fat. The increased risk for a wife or husband is a little less than that.2. in the United States, experts estimate that up to 4% of adults and up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30，000 cases of anaphylaxis, a sever reaction that requiresimmediate treatment. It can result in trouble breathing and in some cases death. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases say 100 to 200 people die. It says most of the reactions resulted from peanuts and tree nuts such as walnuts.3. floods, storms and other natural events kill thousands of people every year. So does extreme heat. Experts say heat may be nature’s deadliest killer. Recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing more than 100 people in India. Daytime temperatures rose to more than 45 degrees Celsius in some areas. On June eleventh, the temperature in one desert town hit 51 degrees. Experts say the total heat of a hot day or several days can affect health. Several hot days are considered a heat wave. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much form the highest daytime temperature. This causes great stress on the human body.4. medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They are advising people to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less likely to die of heart disease. The study followed more than 23,000 Greek adults for about 6 years. Adults s who rested for half an hour at least three times a week had a 37% lower risk of dying form heart disease than those who did not nap.Part IIB67% of Americans questionedWash their hands after using a public restroomReducing the spread of infectious diseasesColds, influenza, throat and ear infections, food poisoning, cholera, hepatitisA public information campaignSoap and hot water for at least 15 seconds.听力原文：Health experts say washing your hands reduces the spread of viruses and other organisms that cause disease. This advice may sound simple. However experts say a lot of people do not follow it.A recent study found that many Americans fail to wash their hands after using public toilets. More than 95% of Americans questioned saidthey always wash their hands after using public restrooms. However, the study found that only 67% o f them actually do so. The study also found that American men are less likely than women to wash their hands after suing a public restroom.The American Society for Microbiology announced the findings. Judy Daly works for the group. She admits that hand washing may seem an unusual subject to study. But she says hand washing is a very serious issue. Experts say hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.Infections can spread by touching surfaces that have harmful organisms on them. Shaking hands with another person also can spread infection. Harmful bacteria may enter your body if you touch your mouth, nose or eyes.Among the most common infections spread by hand are colds, influenza, and throat and ear infections. In addition, millions of food poisoning cases each year are blamed on people who prepare food who do not wash their hands. More serious diseases like cholera and hepatitis are spread this way, too.Many patients in hospitals also get infections. Some die from them. The spread of infections often is blamed on health workers who do not wash their hands after treating patients.The American Society of Microbiology has launched a publicinformation campaign to get more people to wash their hands. Experts say following the correct method is important. You should wash your hands with soap and hot water for at least 15 seconds.ModificationPart IIIA1.the lung, breast, liver, mouth2.a. smokingb. alcohol usee. physical inactivityg. indoor smokeh. injectionsI unsafe sex.B1.2.5 million / 9 factors that people can control3.1/3 / unhealthy lifestyle and environmental exposures5. twice6. preventable cancers.1.l ifestyle and environmental modification2.r isk factor reduction听力原文U. S. , Australasian, and New Zealand scientists report in the journal Lancet that nine factors that people and societies can control cause nearly 2.5 million cancer cases each year. That is about 1/3 of the seven million annual global total.These include caners of the lung,breast, bladder, cervix, liver, pancreas, mouth and digestive tract.Leading the list of causes is smoking, which the researchers say is responsible for 20% of preventable cancers. Alcohols use and low consumption of fruits and vegetable cause another 5% each. Also significant are overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, urban air pollution, indoor smoke from household cooking, contaminated injections in health clinics, and unsafe sex.One of the study’s co-authors, Harvard University public healthresearcher Majid Ezzati, says the statistics reflect data on cancer deaths in 2001. He expects an increase in the proportion of death from these risk factors.“The estimates that we have are looking at what happens today as a result of past exposure. So one-third of cancer deaths today would have been avoided had these lifestyle and environmental exposures not been present. If we were to speculate about the future, we could actually say more than one in every three cancer deaths could be avoided because things such as smoking actually have been going up in many countries in the world, so we actually haven’t seen the full effects of it yet. ”The new study finds that developing countries had more than twice as many preventable cancer deaths as rich nations. Among the developing regions, Eastern Europe and Central Asia had the highest proportion of cancer deaths attributable to the nine risk factors --- 39 percent compared to the global average of 35 percent. Furthermore, Mr. Ezzati says twice as many men as women died from such cancers.Mr. Ezzati and his colleagues say thatthe best option for reducing the increasing global burden of cancer is through lifestyle and environmental modifications because medical science is not close to controlling it. Despite the drive to seek cancer cures, they point out that advances in treatment have not been as effective as for other chronic diseases, and effective screening methods are available for only a few cancers.“There is a huge amount of resources going in to the war on cancer and to biomedical technologies. It is certainly not matched by equivalent research and application of risk factor reduction. So I think should be a reminder of how large the role of prevention can be for reducing cancer deaths.”Part D1．42 doctors, dieticians, pharmacists2．24 hours a day, seven days a week3．Clearing house4．Free1.board-certified doctors2.24 hours a day, seven days aweek3.practice medicine4.$50 per visitIs there a doctor in the house?

In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a "bride price" with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a "groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanesemarriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.Part II - B1.physical appearance;2.what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance3.the high percentage of divorces.4.falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say "unfortunately"?Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do youthink this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist?Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it., it's the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think that's the problem, because people just expect that, and it's not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship going?Well, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and I'd call that love, and I think that's what makes a relationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the "just-right" wife for him,definition of what the "just-right"wife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,in two different atmospheres,also have their definition of the "just-right" wife,the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.Script:Part IIIA baseball diamond frizzly hair / glasses/ funny/ monologueA wine bar pizzaA fancy-dress party the man dressed as Cheshire CatOutside a cinema coincidence/ he'd also missed the filmA boat/ the river bank fell in river/ he dived in and rescued herKate: I was on my way home from junior high and in order to get to my house you have to walk by this baseball diamond. And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and...we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice.Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friend of mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said I'd like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said, "Please don't!" But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order really any pizza on the menu and we'd both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together and still are.Coralyn: We met at a party and it was fancy-dress party. A friend of mine's twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Alice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together.Jill: I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing outside--the film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and we talked quite a bit and he said,"Let's go down the road and see that film, because that one hasn't started at the Odeon." So we went down there and we've been going out ever since!Carole: I first met my partner when he was on a boat and I was on the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and he threw me a rope and said,"Would you mind catching this?" and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and rescue me. And that was it!Part IVBook, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admireJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally come for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00p.m. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. "You will recognize me,"she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. " Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away.I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.Unit 2 Shaping and reshaping personalityPart I-A1- h, 2-d, 3-j, 4-k, 5-b, 6-i,7-g, 8-e, 9-l, 10-f, 11-c, 12-aTape script:1.Taurus April 21- May12, is represented by a bull.2.Virgo is represented by a young woman.3.Capricorn......... by a goat.4.Pisces................by two fish.5.Aquarius............by the water-bearer.6.Leo.....................by a lion7.Cancer ...............by a crab8.Aries....................by a ram9.Gemini.................by twins10.Sagitarus............by a centaur shooing an arrow11.Scorpio................by a scorption12.Libra...................by a pair of measuring scales.Part I - BVery, not very, extremely, sort of, veryTape script:W: Hey, Kevin.

They have also studied the development of the personality, for example, how a baby learns to love. In recent studies at two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. The scientists studied self-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These test measured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests, the boys were divided into three groups--those with high-esteem, those with middle-esteem and those with love self-esteem. The scientist continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home, at work, in school, and with their friends.From their studies, the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active. They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relations with other people. In discussions, they led. They didn't just listen. They were interested in world problems. They were creative and believed that they could finish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways, the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too expressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy place. However, they were not sure of their own value as people. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were different from the other two groups. They were sad most of them time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not express their ideas. They were afraid of anger. In a discussion, they listened, but they didn't talk.The scientists asked, "How do some boys develop high self-esteem?" :"What is different in their lives?" Some of the answers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon physical appearance, or money, or size of family. It did not depend upon how much the mother was at home. The scientists found that there was a closeness between the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real interest in them, and spend time with time . They listened to their sonsand gave them help when the boys asked for it. They knew their sons' friends. The son knew that they were important to their parents. These parents demanded good behavior. They mad definite rules. They were strict, but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards, not by punishment. They never took away their love. On the other hand, the parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made a mistake, the parents punished him harshly. They boys believed that their parents didn't love them. There were no definite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents made rules, but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed respect for their children's ideas, even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with low self-esteem feel better about themselves. In this way, these children can become productive citizens too.Part III- ASad, temporary, long, suffer from mental,Anyone, ten , developing,80 percent, drugs, effective, carefullyWithout, activity, minor, walking, 30, four, improve, physical, traditional, hour, talking, doctors, Discussion, ways, problemsEducation, understand.Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger. I've quite a long tether when it comes to anger, which doesn't mean, I really don't believe I'm suppressing any anger at all, but it manifest itself in a very sarcastic way with me. Like if for example, if I'm buying a railway ticket or something and the guy behind the counter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me like a human being, I won't get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it's absolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm taken that far. But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well, my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights. I mean, if I don not sleep well, I wake up in the morning, I am angry. I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody.If I sleep well, then everything is fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving person. Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon. As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here. If I'm looking for excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way, in a way, anger is something that I have to get out. I do not carry it around by weeping, and like crying. I believe in dumping it.

And they can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag. And they go back to work and they feel great.B: Oh,God yes, well, that brings us on to laughing then. That made me laugh.C:Well that's one way of dealing with anger as well, I suppose, if you can actually remove yourself from the situation and just laugh at it.

She's taught us to be kind and loving, she taught us to share, she taught us to love our family - be very family-oriented- and I think that's really important.Speaker 2The person that I can think of within my life, well, I probably can think of several butthe one that instantly came to mind when you popped this question to me was somebody who lives in Harpenden and who has overcome physical difficulty of arthritis remarkably well, and not allowed it to hold her back any more than is obviously necessary because of her physical disabilities. So I think she's made a very good - a great success of overcoming a difficulty.Speaker 3I think, Mable Davies, here who's very successful. She's a deaf lady who's now the headmistress and I think that must have been hard, so I've got a lot of respect for her, because my parents are also deaf so I know how difficult it is to work your way up having a handicap, so I've got quite a lot admiration to her.Speaker 4I think in professional terms Kenneth Branagh, the actor, has been very successful and I think the reason for this more than anything else is that he's a very good self-publicist. He is undoubtedly a very good actor. I've not seen him on stage, I've seen him on film and he's got an enormous amount of energy and as I say, he's a very good self-publicist.A2Statements:13.According to the first speaker, the most important thing that mum taught her children is to love the family.14.When the second speaker was interviewed, the successful person that immediately came to her mind was the one with arthritis.15.The third speaker has a lot of respect for Mable Davies because she herself is a deaf.16.The fourth speaker thinks that the actor has got an enormous amount of energy as he saw him on stage and on film.Part II- B1subordinate positions, serious responsibility, threshold, broom, sweeping out, salutary branch, future partner, try his hand, sweepersobtain employment, aim high, rest content, thoughts, concerns, at the topprime condition, energy, thought, captital, on that line, the mostscattered their captial, brains, all wrong, watch that basket, take notice, fail, breaks, on his head, apt to tumble, lack of concentrationPart II- B2Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger.

All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seenon window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely. Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activitywas completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes.A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished.China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.Useful words and expressionsfamily 家庭spouse 配偶single单身life span 寿命marriage life 婚姻生活bachelor 单身汉spinster 老处女courtship 求爱lad 少年, 少女female friend 女性朋友play house 过家家play hide-and-seek 捉迷藏puppy love 初恋friendship 友谊engagement 订婚fiancé未婚夫fiancée 未婚妻wedding ceremony 婚礼honeymoon 蜜月newlyweds 新婚夫妇husband 丈夫wife 妻子happiness 幸福mother-in-law 婆婆dowry 嫁妆mama`s boy 没有男子气概的男人uxorious 疼爱妻子的twin 双胞胎daughter 女儿son 儿子maternal 母亲的paternal 父亲的children 子女parental 父母亲的filial 子女的divorce 离婚consolation money 抚慰金alimony 抚养费single parent 单亲fall in love 恋爱fight for divorce 提请离婚诉讼widow 寡妇widower 鳏夫separation 分居bridesmaid 女傧相best man 男傧相monogamy 一夫一妻制in laws 姻亲descendant 后代family tree 家谱ancestors 祖先1. 跟别人要钱mooch off someone我最讨厌跟别人要钱的人了。

The explosion and fire happened near a fuel-loading area owned by Nigeria’s National Petroleum Corporation. This is the latest in a series of pipeline fires in Nigeria this year. The fires have killed hundreds of people. The government says people who steal fuel from leaking pipes caused some of the fires.

Officials estimate that the homes of as many as 140,000 people were destroyed. Venezuela officials say the floods and landslides may have caused the death of as many as 30,000 people. Experts say poor city planning was a major cause f the damage. Many houses were built on weak ground of on the side of mountains along the northern coast. The Venezuela Defense Minister says survivors need to cooperate with government efforts to move them away form the coastal area.2.The United Nations has urged the international community togive quick and generous aid to Venezuela to help it recover from last week’s devastating floods and mudslides. Aresolution passed in the general assembly said it was deeply concerned over the tremendous loss of life and severe destruction of the country. As many as 30,000 people are thought to have been killed. Officials have estimated the relief and reconstruction efforts as costing some 15 billion dollar. Officials here say that reconstruction efforts could take several years to complete. They say the priority is to build new housing for the 150,000 people who’ve been made homeless. These people are now sleeping in emergency shelters set up in stadium, car parks, airports and military barracks. President Hugo Chavez says that he is looking at several different places across the country in which to build new houses, all in plain areas away from the coast. Mr. Chavez says that the government will not rebuild houses in the parts of the northern coastal region destroyed by floods and landslides.

For the last two weeks, we’ve reported how heavy rains have contributed to the spread of Rift Valley Fever in Kenya. This week, we hear how the continuing torrential storms in that region are washing away Kenya horticulture’s hopes a good season.Sarah Rannoe is just back form Nairobi.Now there’s never a good time for heavy rainfall such as this. But for the horticulture industry, Sarah, this must be a particularly bad time for heavy beating rain.Well, January should be one of the best months for growers of fruit,vegetables and flowers in Kenya. Hot, dry, sunny days and peak production destined for consumers shivering in the European winter and longing for a taste African sunshine. But in Kenya, as elsewhere, the weather is not behaving as it should. Months of rain, often torrential, is washing away hopes of a good harvest. Flowers are reluctant to flower. And perhaps worst hit are growers of peas and French beans.“In the whole of my life and I’m talking about somebody who is over 60 years old.I’ve not experienced a season like this. The whole of that period, I’ve not seen rains like this in January in Kenya.”James Masengi, chairman of the Fresh Produce Exporters’Association of Kenya, who speaks not only for his members but out of personal and bitter experience.“Crops are flooded. We are finding it even difficult to meet the requirement of our consumers because crops have been destroyed.”Are you going to be able to keep your business orders up to date? Are you going to complete your export orders?Yes we are struggling very much to keep the export orders. In some places, we are not able to supply them 100 percent, but we are supplying something.James Masengi.BVery little happiness disease pressure / slows down growth / production down 30%Some / deficiencyIf sunshine in the next month / catch up a lotNo / sales on contract priceMaizeThreat of diseasePick & transport / nightmare / roads / impossible conditions听力原文：And for growers of roses, the flower associated with love and romance, there’s very little happiness in the air. Ian Maroe is managing director of CN Roses Limited, one of Kenya’s leading rose exporters.“Cold, cloudy, wet weather increase disease pressure and slows down growth. So our production is probably down a six-month figure, is down 30%.”Are you disappointing your customers?“Some. We try to keep the more important ones contented, but some are definitely disappointed. Definitely. Y eah.”Do you think you’ll be able to pick up over the course of the season?“The bad weather as such will continue for a depressingly long time according to the forecast. But if we get sunshine in the next month or so, we’ll be able to catch up quite a lot.”Are you making up the short fall in production by an increase in price?“Uh, no, because a lot of our sales are on the contract price.”Ian Morae.And I should add that even more of Kenya’s crops are in trouble. Maize has suffered badly. Coffee is under constant threat of disease. And although tea is growing well, getting it picked and transported is a nightmare on roads that become all but impossible in these conditions. But the greatest fear is that the rain could be followed by the opposite: drought.。

"Key words:losing "lose-lose solutions control Vocabulary:attest / excel / reside in / configuration / spouseHere is a passage about how to excel in the art of domestic argument. Supply the missing words while listening.Tapescript:Having been married for more than 40 years, I can attest to the truth of the following statement: To excel in the art of domestic argument, one must master the art of losing.Modern psychologists are taken with the "win-win" solution. But in marriage, success resides more in "lose-lose" solutions. Out of these, both parties can win. For in the love configuration, losing gives a gift that always returns.The issues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spend money, often aren't the real ones. The key issue is: Who is going to be in control? When I was younger, my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity. The day I finally realized I didn't need to control my wife梩hat, indeed, I ought not to control her, that I couldn't control her, and that if I tried to, I would destroy our marriage ?was the day our marriage began.What is it we want most from a marriage? To love and be loved. To be happy and secure. To grow to discover. A love relationship is the gar-den in which we plant, cultivate and harvest the most precious of crops, our own self, and in which our spouse is provided the same rich soil in which to bloom.Part JJWe cannot obtain what we want unless our partner also gets what he or she wants. So remember; if you want to feel loved and respected, give up control.All you need is love?Key words:social backgrounds race ethnic religion Vocabulary:pre-industrial / propose / criterionYou are going to hear a report on how people in different parts of the world choose their mates.A1 Before listening, think about some of the qualities you would look for in a mate.A2 As you listen, try to write down the three main criteria people usuallymaintain for choosing a mate. 1: Having similar social backgrounds. 2: Having the same race or same ethnic background. 3: Having the same religion.A3 Listen again. Answer the questions.Why does the speaker say that some of the past practices related to marriage customs are weakening?Japan / 9. 2% / arranged marriagesWhy does the speaker say that the races are still largely separate in marriage in the U. S. ?3% / between blacks and whitesTapescript;Many people in Western cultures choose their own wives and hus-bands. In many other cultures, spouses are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20 th century) , upper-class mar-riages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a "bride price" with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a" groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening; for instance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages梬hether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love梐re based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slightly lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose mar-riage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U. S. , where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In cultures in which religion is a very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.Key words:physical appearance fall in love loving somebodyVocabulary:sustain / differentiateBarbara CartlandListen to a dialogue that discusses personal and family relationships.Complete the following main ideas expressed by the second speaker.Unfortunately, perhaps in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts.In fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love is always emphasized. ?In fact I think we can proba-bly lay there the blame for the high percentage of divorces.I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts.Tapescript;A: What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?B: I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them梚t could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction 1 think is all-important.A: Why do you say"unfortunately"?B: Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is im-portant. You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they're selfish or selfless, whether they're kind, caring. But I think initially you're not bothered with that. That comes perhaps later.A: In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love is always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist?B: Yes I do, in fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorces梚t's a third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stories, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young peo-ple read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it, it's the beginning, they live happily ever after. And I think that's the problem, because people just expect that, and it's not like that. A: So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, thatkeeps a relationship going? B: Well, 1 think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which 1 see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and I'd call that love, and I think that's what makes a relationship last.Key words:"just-right wife physical qualities athletic sports qualities nationalitiesVocabulary:vow / upper portion / designer clothingNow you are going to hear some views on men's "just-right" wives. Listen carefully. Complete the summary.SummaryFor years men and women have been getting married. When a man and a woman get married, it is one of the biggest decisions they will make in life. A man may select a woman because he, in his own eyes, sees heras the "just-right" wife for him.Every man has his own definition of what the "just-right" wife is. For instance, the millionaire man and the poor man both may define their " just-right" wife according to her physical qualities but use different words. Although some men define the "just-right" wife by her physical qualities, other men describe their "just-right" wife by her athletic quali-ties. Both the outdoors man and the inside sportsman may define their "just-right" wife by her sports qualities but in two different atmospheres. Men from all nationalities also have their definitions of the "just-right" wife. But the Italian man's definition is different from the French man's. And similarly, the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.Tapescript;For years men and women have been getting married. They say their wedding vows which bring them together as one. They promise to love and cherish each other until death do them part.When a man and a woman get married, it is one of the biggest deci-sions they will make in life. A man may select a woman because he, in his own eyes, sees her as the "just-right" wife for him. Every man has his own definition of what the "just-right" wife is. For instance, the million-aire man and the poor man both may define their "just-right" wife accord-ing to her physical qualities.A millionaire may describe his "just-right" wife as charming, beauti-ful, sexy, intelligent, and well developed. On the other hand, a poor man may define his "just-right" wife as pleasing, attractive, desirable, knowl-edgeable, and shapely. Both men describe their "just-right" wife by the same physical qualities but use different words.Although some men define the "just-right" wife by her physical qual-ities, other men describe their "just-right" wife by her athletic qualities. For example, the outdoors man may define his "just-right" wife as a woman who loves to fish, to camp, to hunt, and to water ski, whereas the inside sportsman may define his "just-right" wife as a woman who enjoys watching football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling. Both of these men define their "just-right" wife by her sports qualities but in two different at-mospheres.Men from all nationalities also have their definition of the "just-right" wife. For example, the Italian man describes his woman as a woman who stands six feet one inch tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, and who is well developed in the upper portion of her body. On the other hand, the French man may describe his ideal woman as a woman who stands only five feet three inches with brown hair and green eyes, and who is moder-ately built.Other nationalities, such as the German man and the Spanish man, may define their"just-right" wife as a woman with style. The German man may describe his "just-right" wife as a woman who likes to drive expensive sports cars, a woman who visits a different foreign country every month and wears only the most expensive designer clothing. But the Spanish man may define his "just-right" wife as a woman who enjoys giving dinner parties every weekend, wearing a lot of jewelry, and drink-ing expensive wines.PartFirst meetingsKey words:baseball diamond pizza fancy-dress party film riverVocabulary:frizzly / yearbook / platonic / hit it off / chap / trip overYou are going to hear five people talking about their first meetings.A Before listening, read and consider the following questions.How easy is it in your city for young men and women to meet and spend time alone together?At what age do young men and women usually begin to date with each other"?At what age is it customary for people to get married and how long do engagements last?What do you think of the "boy-meets-girl" custom?What do you think of the arranged marriages?B Listen to five people describing their first meetings with their present partners. Listen carefully and take notes in the following chart.Tapescript;Ka Kate Ke桲erry Co桟oralynJ桱ill Ca桟aroleKa: I was on my way home from junior high and in order to get to my house you have to walk by this baseball diamond. And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of mono-logue thing, which was great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and. . . we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice.Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a . . . friend of mine . . . a ... a woman friend of mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she . . . insisted on bringing this friend of hers which . . . who she said I'd like to meet and ... I thought she was trying to fix us upand I said, "Please don't!" Um ... but she did bring this friend. Um . . . and ... we hit it off. And . . . after the wine bar we went to . . . to have a pizza and we all got . . . had a few more drinks and ... the other woman who . . . ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that I really liked and she ... I ordered a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were. . . sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order re-ally any pizza on the menu and . . . we'd both be happy. And . . . anyway we ended up living together and still are.Co; Um ... we met at a party and it was a fancy-dress party. A friend of mine'stwenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Al-ice in Wonderland and . . . this person, this guy that ... I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together.J: Well ... I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and . . . unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to the cinema on time, so all my friends had gone in and I was left standing outside梩he film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And . . . there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and ... we talked quite a bit and he said, "Let's go down the road and see that film, because that one hasn't started at the Odeon. " So we went down there and . . . well, we've been go-ing out ever since!Ca; I . . . I first met my partner . . . when he was on a boat and I was on the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and he threw me a rope and said, "Would you mind catching this?" and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and res-cue me. And that was it!Part III I jf First meetings IPart |YA Valentine storyKey words:correspond romance first meeting red rose test wisdomVocabulary:intrigue / insightful / budding / lapel / provocative / tuck / plump / thrust / uphold / grip / square / saluteA Listen to the first part of a Valentine story, then write an ending for the story.B Now listen to the last part of the story. Fill in the blanks with the words you hear and make a comparison between the ending you designed and the one you heard.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment: "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, " but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!" It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. Tapescript:John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uni-form, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thir-teen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the m;irgin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the pre-vious owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to corre-spond. The next day he was shippedoverseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she re-fused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting?:00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York. "You will recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel. " So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. APart IV A Valentine storywoman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. . . She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.I felt as though I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment; "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

In many other coun tries, spo use are ofte n chose n by the paren ts. In China and Japan before this cen tury (20th cen tury), upp er-class marriages were arra nged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and p re-i ndustrial Europe, the man's familyn egotiated a "bride p rice" with the woma n's family; the man's family was exp ected to pay it. In Hi ndu In dia, the bride's family p aid a "groom's p rice" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arran ged.What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the ma n's family must go to the family of the woma n and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woma n and that a certa in amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Havi ng the same race or the same eth nic backgro und is the sec ond main criteri on for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 p erce nt of all marriages are betwee n blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely sep arate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religio n; this is a third com mon criteri on for choos ing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differe nces.Part II - B1. physical appearanee;2. what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearanee3. the high percentage of divorces.4. falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?I think that p erha ps unfortun ately in the in itial stages it's the p hysical app eara nee that attracts. I thi nk uni ess you find somebody attractive, uni ess there's someth ing about them-it could only p erha ps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twi nkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But somethi ng like that has to make you in terested eno ugh to find out more about that person, uni ess that's there I thi nk you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say "unfortun ately"?Because in fact it should n't be what somebody looks like that is imp orta nt. You should be able to look bey ond he p hysical app eara nee and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think in itially you are not bothered with that. That come p erha ps later.In pop songs and magaz ines and n ews papers and son on, the idea of falli ng love in s always emp hasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall i n love. Do you think this is mislead ing for peop le? Do you think people expect somethi ng that in fact does n't exist?Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think no w, is n't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relatio nship with a very roma ntic view of love which I think has bee n created by the pop son gs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartla nd no vels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet some one, you fall in love, and that's it., it's the beg inning, they live happ ily eve n after. And I think that's the p roblem, because people just expect that, and it's no t like that.So what is it, do you thi nk, that really susta ins a relati on shi p, that kee ps a relati onship goin g?Well, I thi nk you have to differe ntiate betwee n falli ng in love with somebody, which I see as more sup erficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a dee per emoti on and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same thi ngs together, shared hobbies, shared in terests, sufferi ng together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that n eeds time to grow, and rd call that love, and I thi nk that's what makes a relati on shi p last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisi ons they will make in life, as the "just-right" wife for him,defi niti on of what the "just-right"wife is, the milli on aire man and the poor man , her p hysical qualities, differe nt words, by her p hysical qualities, in two differe nt atmos pheres, also have their defi niti on of the "just-right" wife, the Germa n man's defi niti on is differe nt from the Spanish man's.

He looked for the girl whose heart he kn ew, but whose face he did n't, the girl with the rose. His in terest in her had beg un thirtee n mon ths before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the no tes pen ciled in the margin. The soft han dwriti ng reflected a thoughtful soul and in sightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the p revious own er's n ame, Miss Hollis May nell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falli ng on a fertile heart. A roma nee was buddi ng. Bla nchard requested a p hotogra ph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it would n't matter what she looked like. When the day fin ally come for him to return from Euro pe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:0Op.m. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. "You will recognize me,"she wrote, "by the red rose ril be weari ng on my lap el." So at 7:00 he was in the stati on look ing for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd n ever see n. I' II let Mr Bla nchard tell you what happen ed.A young woma n was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gen tle firm ness, and in her p ale gree n suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, en tirely forgetti ng to no tice that she was not weari ng a rose. As I moved, a small, pro vocative smile curved her lips. " Goi ng my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Mayn ell. She was sta nding almost directly beh ind the girl. A woma n well p ast 40, she had graying hair tucked un der a worn hat. She was more tha n plump, her thick-a nkled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the gree n suit was wak ing quickly away.I felt as thought I was sp lit into two, so kee n was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and up held my own. And there she stood. Her p ale plump face was gen tle and sen sible, her gray eyes had a warm and kin dly twin kle.I did not hesitate. My fin gers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be somethi ng p recious, somethi ng p erha ps eve n better than love.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woma n, eve n though while I spoke I felt chocked by the bitterness of my disappointment: “I ' m LieutJohn Blanchard.

In rece ntstudies at two uni versities in the Un ited States, scie ntists have in vestigated the devel opment of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the res pect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. The scientists studied self-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These testmeasured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests, the boyswere divided into three groups--those with high-esteem, those with middle-esteem and those with love self-esteem. The scientist continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home, at work, in school, and with their frie nds.From their studies, the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active.They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relati ons with other people. In discussi ons, they led. They did n't just liste n. They were in terested in world p roblems. They were creative and believed that they could finish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways, the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too exp ressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy pl ace. However, they were not sure of their own value as peop le. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were differe nt from the other two groups. They were sad most of them time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not exp ress their ideas. They were afraid of an ger. In a discussi on, theyb. almost any thi ngc. no defi nited. harsh puni shme nt f. did n't love themliste ned, but they did n't talk.The scientists asked, "How do some boys develop high self-esteem?" :"What is differe nt in their lives?" Some of the an swers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon p hysical app eara nee, or mon ey, or size of family. It did not depend upon how much the mother was at home. The seientists found that there was a closenessbetween the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real in terest in them, and spend time with time . They liste ned to their sons and gave them help when the boys asked for it. They knew their sons' friends. The son knew that they were imp orta nt to their paren ts. These parents dema nded good behavior. They mad definite rules. They were strict, but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards, not by puni shme nt. They n ever took away their love. On the other hand, the parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made a mistake, the parents puni shed him harshly. They boys believed that their parents did n't love them. There were no defi nite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents made rules, but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed res pect for their childre n's ideas, even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with low self-esteem feel better about themselves. In this way, these childre n can become p roductive citize ns too.Part III- ASad, temporary, long, suffer from men tal,Anyone, ten , devel oping,80 p erce nt, drugs, effective, carefullyWithout, activity, minor, walk ing, 30, four, impro ve, p hysical, traditi on al, hour, talk ing, doctors, Discussi on, ways, p roblemsEducati on, un dersta nd.Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingvent an ger on somebody Dump an gerMani fest angerTape scri ptSpeaker1I actually very rarely get an ger. 「ve quite a long tether whe n it comes to an ger, which does n't mean, I really don't believe rm supp ress ing any an ger at all, but it mani fest itself in a very sarcastic way with me. Like if for exa mp le, if rm buying a railway ticket or somethi ng and the guy beh ind the coun ter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me like a human being, I won't get angry with him but ril get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it's absolutely n ecessary I do get very an gry, if rm take n that far. But I certa inly don't supp ress any an ger.Speaker 2Well, my an ger is tied up with my slee pless ni ghts. I mean, if I don not slee p well, I wake up in themornin g, I am an gry.

Slee pless ni ghts, I'm full of an ger and my an ger does not ebb away uni ess I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon. As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admissi on to make to everybody here. If rm look ing for excuses for hav ing woke n up in a p articularly bad way, in a way, an ger is someth ing that I have to get out.

And they can go and they can spend twenty minu tes pun chi ng hell out of this punch bag. And they go back to work and they feel great.B: Oh,God yes, well, that brings us on to laughi ng the n. That made me laugh. C:Well that's one way of deali ng with an ger as well, I suppo se, if you can actually remove yourself from the situati on and just laugh at it. I think laughter is one of the most won derful releases, and I thi nk that it's actually bee n pro ved that you know that chemical that is released when you laugh is life-enhancing and life elongating too, you know.

All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing. Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China CentralTelevision Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.Useful words and expressionsf amily 家庭spouse 配偶single单身life span 寿命marriage life 婚姻生活bachelor 单身汉spinster 老处女courtship 求爱lad 少年, 少女female friend 女性朋友play house 过家家play hide-and-seek 捉迷藏puppy love初恋friendship 友谊engagement 订婚fiancé 未婚夫fiancée 未婚妻wedding ceremony 婚礼honeymoon 蜜月newlyweds 新婚夫妇husband 丈夫wife 妻子happiness 幸福mother-in-law 婆婆dowry 嫁妆mama`s boy 没有男子气概的男人uxorious 疼爱妻子的twin 双胞胎daughter 女儿son 儿子maternal 母亲的paternal 父亲的children 子女parental 父母亲的filial 子女的divorce 离婚consolation money 抚慰金alimony 抚养费single parent 单亲fall in love 恋爱fight for divorce 提请离婚诉讼widow 寡妇widower 鳏夫separation 分居bridesmaid 女傧相best man 男傧相monogamy 一夫一妻制in laws 姻亲family tree 家谱ancestors 祖先descendant 后代1. 跟别人要钱mooch off someone我最讨厌跟别人要钱的人了。

for Public Land,the organization that is coordinating the state-wide tree planting effort."Time is not neutral.We are so rapidly depleting the atmosphere,we are so rapidly changing the climate,that

days:"Recycle newspapers and save a tree.Collect bottles and cans sothey can be reused in the manufacturing of new products.'Let's use paper as an example.The first step is to raise public awareness about the recycling process,explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled,and provide ways on how to properly dispose of.them.Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those,like waxed paper,carbon paper,plastic laminated material such as fast food wrappers,that can't be recycled very easily.Then,a system of collecting these sorted materials needs to be w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网established.Sometimes we become complacent when it comes to recycling,but when you speak in terms of actual facts and figures that everyone can understand,people become more cognizant of the problem.I remember reading one time that the energy saved from one recycled can can provide enough power to operate the television for three hours.Give the public information they can grasp,and then you will increase your chances of gaining followers.Second,technological progress has been made on many fronts.One breakthrough has been the development of a new manufacturing process to help remove ink from paper in more energy efficient and environmentally safe methods.Recycling paper materials can be expensive in both monetary and environmental terms.The difficulty in removing print from paper,the amount of energy expended during the process,and caustic waste that is sometimes produced are costs that companies incur that are then passed on to the consumer.The final key is to increase demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled.This problem has appeared in various regions of the world where the technology to process the used materialslags far behind the amount being collected for recycling.Recycling is a crucial link protecting our planet.The three keys mentioned are important ways to achieve this end.w w
