Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well … just the generosity of ordinarypeople. I traveled a lot around Asia and you know, I found that insome of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos, peopleshare whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life.It 'psrobably made me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting •…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world? Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really …Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life havehad the greatest influence in forming your personality?(Sp eaker 3: Well …a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each weeksome one was voted off by the audience. I got down to the finalthree! I suppose being on the show and seeing how the othercontestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spitefulsome people can be just to get what they want. I also realized it 'best to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to be someonedifferent people will eventually see through the lies.Interviewer: Right …And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off? Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you.

When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn ' t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group ofvolunteer doctors. It was an incredibly difficult time but you know,even in the middle of such a horrific tragedy there is still a hugeamount of genuine human kindness.Interviewer: That ' amazing!

She gives advice to school students on choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan,welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about whenchoosing a course? It's a huge, poten4Chyngfi©gdecision, isn ' t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly,know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “ know yourself ” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits （特质）and the things youlike.Tony: I see …So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far.For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized andself-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you likeworking with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? Thesekinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact onyour future career so it ' s important to look into this carefully. Irecommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work , but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has torelated industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I ' d like to take some calls from our listeners. First upwe have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I ' m interested in career in IT and I ' d like to askwhether she thinks it ' s better to go to a highly respecteduniversity, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of avocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out ofa university and how you see yourfuture. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top universities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I ' d say if ycflyer ' re a highthen this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream (主流) career then youshould consider a course that helps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in the workplace look at which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James I see!

Hugh : It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music. Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why ' s it so brilliant?Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture of traditional Korean music, percussionand drums, into a western style performanceLily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in theWest?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30 countries since the show began in 1997」t's a non-verbal performance so there are no language barriers. That's what's made it an international success.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh:Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in thekitchen. You see these four chefs preparing the food for awedding reception. The performers use knives, dustbin lids andvarious other kitchen utensils to create a hypnotic soundtrack.The food literally flies everywhere! It's hilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actualstory though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also have to give the manager's nephewcooking lessons too, which adds to the fun. There ' loads ofaudience participation and despite there being no languageinvolved you get completely engrossed. It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they startthrowing food around …？Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really great family show. In fact it's one of the bestshows rve ever seen. Jim, my friend, says he takes all his visitors.He's seen it about eight times and still loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's had a run on Broadway too. It first gotpopular after they appeared at the Edinburgh Festival. Now theyare planning to tour more cities in Asia where (South) Koreanpopular culture is becoming incredibly trendy.Lily : By the way what does “ Nanta ” mean?Hugh : It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for theshow is Cookin ' , which gives you a clearer ideaof what it's all about.Lily : You've got me interested now. I 'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening in Conversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide. Kathy-can you tell us what trends you've noticed in recent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena r ve noticed is ahuge increase in visitors to galleries-and a growing interest inmodern art in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that?Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The mostimportant ones are firstly, that some newcontemporary art galleries have opened which havehad a lot of publicity, and secondly the youngergeneration feel more comfortable with modern art sothe kind of people visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of galleries have becomedestinations in themselves…they tend to be housedin amazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries?Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over 30million visitors since it opened in 2000.The annualaverage is now over 4.5 million. The Museum ofModern Art, or MoMA in New York is an oldergallery, it was founded in 1929 but has been recentlyreno vated and expanded. This work was finished in2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitors in the firstyear after reopening. Another very successful newgallery is the Guggenheim in Bilbao in Spain. Itopened in 1997 and now gets about a million visitorsa year.Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures. Maybe the factKathy: that the Tate Modern is free to visit might have something to do with it?It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of people visiting the temporary exhibition are also high-and the entrance fee is usually about ten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 USdollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costs eighteuros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think?Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel thefees are reasonabl e considering the outstandingcollections of priceless works of art that they get to see. Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attraction themselves these days... Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalizedthe whole city and put Bilbao on the tourist map. It's got a futuristic,curvy metallic structure and people love it. The Tate Modern hashelped redevelop an old industrial area beside the River Thames.The gallery itself is actually inside a huge , old, brick power station.And MoMA is interesting as it's in downtown New York. Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen asappealing to the older generation. But in fact, 48 percent of visitorsto the Tate Modern are under 35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we' ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group」t wictely acknowledged that the performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “ Hawthorne effect ” .The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity ,self-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as Forming " which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by ” Storming ” whedividual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is ” Norming ” wheae group identity begins to form.The final stage is P erforming ” when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achievesresults.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The” Resource investigator ” is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the ” Monitorevaluator ” is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The” Teamworker ” ieontrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the ” Corfiieieier ” is a conscientious perfectionistwho follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles. Listening in 2Today rm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,they built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the localeconomy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak‘another tsunami hit island all part of a post-tsunami livelihood developmentproject.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit andgenerosity of people who help others in times of need.Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid"scheme encouragesfamilies to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home」t's then paid for in monthly repayments of under $ 30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a little test .Coca-Cola…Nike…ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brand names?Wait a moment.There ' s no real need to answer,is there,because we know,more or less,don -Ctolwe—(thDcia delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer ' s day. Nike, running shoes for strong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari —an attractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what' s in a brandname?ldeally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that ' s certainly what both customers ' exeprience and research tells us.it ' s the re why manufacturers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let ' s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember」m agine if Coca-Cola had been namd“ Cocafantaslicola It ' ” just too lort§r,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that ' s an easy name to remember,starbucks.Second point,the brand name should be different,unique,something you can ' t confuse with anythingelseLike Coca-Cola.Or —let ' s take another famous brand name—Microsoft」t combines two words, micro ,meaning very small,and the wordsoft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft.Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positiveassociations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and hasthe association of the best or the strongest.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.Alfa Romeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don' t they? Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound —“ aaari 'th—makes it sound luxurious .So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How about Coca-Cola?lt ' s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink.So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name— something simple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!lt ' s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that. Part 2 Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I ' begin with my own name.My maiden name was Habibis, but I ' m married and my nameClare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don ' t know much about the names or my husband side of the family, so I ' ltalk about my own instead …OK, so …my full name ' s Clare Elsie ThompsoEJsie ” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name . in fact, it ' s just come back into fashion-I met someone who called their baby ” Elsi-bu” when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said,“you can ' t do that to the child, Iput up with Elsie all my life, I don' t want her to have to ” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father 'surname is Habibis . My mum sEnglish but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with.But Habibis isn t a Greek name. It le EasterrMnddne andmeans “loved one ” in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father ' ssde lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name,“ Habibi ”，which meatoved o n e ” Interviewer: Ah, that 's lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He wascalled Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusualname, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn 'thEywouldClare: No, I don ' t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton. Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t?Clare: Yes. And you wouldn ' t think that a Greek family wouldcall their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours around mysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha!

Hi, this is Janet ......Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London. Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed.

Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. Thescientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.1.eating breakfast every day2.avoiding snacks between meals3.keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4.exercising regularly5.sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6.not smoking7.drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study whohad three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven couldexpect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthyas younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small changeevery week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/ Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret ’ s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city.

It made me much moreopen-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and itchanged the way I see the world. I’m much morerounded person.tolerant now… It made me a moreInterviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a centralrole in forming your character?have to be my grandfather. I wasSpeaker 1: I guess that’dvery close to him, and he taught me to stand up formy beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact onyour life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me growup and see both the beauty of the world and,well…just the generosity of ordinary people. Itraveled a lot around Asia and you know, I foundthat in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodiaand Laos, people share whatever little they have,probablyand they possess a real joy for life. It’smade me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves andthe world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learnabout the world beyond the one you grew up in andI found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life havehad the greatest influence in forming yourpersonality?○Sp eaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TVshow where a group of young people all lived in ahouse together. Each week some one was voted offby the audience. I got down to the final three! Isuppose being on the show and seeing how theother contestants behaved made me realize howselfish and spiteful some people can be just to getbest to just bewhat they want. I also realized it’syourself in life. If you pretend to be someonedifferent people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, aslight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you thinkthat has had the biggest impact on your life?a difficult question. But I think Speaker 4: Hmm, that’shelping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a verygreat impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d justarrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday.When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter fora group of volunteer doctors. It was an incrediblydifficult time but you know, even in the middle ofsuch a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amountof genuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’samazing! And has it changed the way youview your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is JoanRobinson, an academic counselor at ManchesterUniversity. She gives advice to school students onchoosing the right subject to study at university. Joan,welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when-changingchoosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially lifedecision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly,know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengthsand weaknesses, your personality traits（特质）and thethings you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect onyour life so far. For example, what subjects are you goodat? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Areyou confident and outgoing? Do you like working withothers in a team or do you prefer working alone? Thesekinds of questions will help you discover more aboutyourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second pointregarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have asignificant impact on your future career so it’s importantto look into this carefully. I recommend you check notonly which academic subjects will help you get into aparticular area of work, but also look carefully at whatuniversities offer. Each university has its strengths so tryto choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Findout what links the department has to related industries andleading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from ourlisteners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James!How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respecteduniversity, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that hasmore of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what youexpect to get out of a university and how you see yourfuture. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates arepicked from the top universities around the world to join-flyerthe leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a highthen this is the route that might be for you. But if you arelooking for a more mainstream （主流）career then youshould consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…look at which universities have the best levels of graduaterecruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…UNIT3Listening in conversation 1Lily: So what was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea?Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be going to see Nanta.Lily：What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-partmusic.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant?Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has aunique concept. It's a mixture of traditional Koreanmusic, percussion and drums, into a western styleperformanceLily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in theWest?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30countries since the show began in 1997.It's a non-verbalperformance so there are no language barriers. That'swhat's made it an international success.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place inthe kitchen. You see these four chefs preparing the foodfor a wedding reception. The performers use knives,dustbin lids and various other kitchen utensils to create ahypnotic soundtrack. The food literally flies everywhere!It's hilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actualstory though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also have to give themanager's nephew cooking lessons too, which adds tothe fun. There’s loads of audience participation anddespite there being no language involved you getcompletely engrossed. It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…？Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's goingon-everyone loves it. It's a really great family show. Infact it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Jim, myfriend, says he takes all his visitors. He's seen it abouteight times and still loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's had a run onBroadway too. It first got popular after they appeared atthe Edinburgh Festival. Now they are planning to tourmore cities in Asia where (South) Korean popular cultureis becoming incredibly trendy.Lily：By the way what does“Nanta” mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives you a clearer ideaof what it's all about.Lily：You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out onthe internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide.Kathy-can you tell us what trends you've noticed inrecent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is ahuge increase in visitors to galleries-and a growinginterest in modern art in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that?Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that some newcontemporary art galleries have opened which havehad a lot of publicity, and secondly the youngergeneration feel more comfortable with modern artso the kind of people visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of galleries havebecome destinations in themselves...they tend to behoused in amazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries? Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over 30 million visitors since it opened in 2000.The annualaverage is now over 4.5 million. The Museum ofModern Art, or MoMA in New York is an oldergallery, it was founded in 1929 but has beenrecently reno vated and expanded. This work wasfinished in 2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitorsin the first year after reopening. Another verysuccessful new gallery is the Guggenheim in Bilbaoin Spain. It opened in 1997 and now gets about amillion visitors a year.Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures. Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is free to visit might havesomething to do with it?Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of people visiting thetemporary exhibition are also high-and the entrancefee is usually about ten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleriesyou mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costs eighteuros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think?Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering the outstandingcollections of priceless works of art that they get tosee.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attraction themselves these days... Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao on the tourist map.It's got a futuristic, curvy metallic structure andpeople love it. The Tate Modern has helpedredevelop an old industrial area beside the RiverThames. The gallery itself is actually inside a huge ,old, brick power station. And MoMA is interestingas it's in downtown New York.Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation. But in fact, 48percent of visitors to the Tate Modern are under35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roleswidely acknowledged that individuals play within a group.It’sthe performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,self-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improvingthe performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,wefind that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,atfirsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe thestages of a group.Forming”which is when individualThe first stage is known as”members get to know each other.This is followedby”Storming”whenindividual start to share their ideas anda group creative energy.The third phase is”Norming”whereidentity begins to form.The final stage is”Performing”when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stagethat the group achieves results.Understanding these phases canhelp us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The”Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the”Monitorevaluator”is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The”Team w orker”in contrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist spirit.And the”Comleterwho follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.Tobe effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who canfulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Partsof the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004,and over250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazitionHabitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metreplot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,they built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallestin the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need.Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for in monthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a little test .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!Whatimage did you get as I said these very famous brandnames?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,is-Cola—thatthere,because we know,more or less,don’t we?Cocadelicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes for strong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—an attractive,powerfulcar for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brandnames say it all.what’s in a brandname?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wantsyou to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly whatboth customers’exeprience and research tells us.it’s the re why manufacturers attach such importance to choosing the rightname for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand nameshould have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy toremember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namdIt’s just too long!Or,take other“Cocafantaslicola”．name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks.Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s take another famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning verysmall,and the word soft.Two words that together make aunique name—Microsoft.Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positiveassociations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter ofthe Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or thestrongest.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of allin a famous Shakespeare play.AlfaRomeo—strong,romantic.The words have greatassociation,don’t they?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.takeFerrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari”—that makesit sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How aboutCoca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink.So—all these things are what you should be looking for whenchoosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a greatsound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does allthose things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. Yousay some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name.sMy maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’Clare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husbandside of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK,so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson.“Elsie” is my middlename , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’sjust come back into fashion-I met someone who called their-but when I was younger it was the kind of namebaby ”Elsie”that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parentswanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name wasElsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she washorrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t want her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!surname is Habibis . My mum’sClare: Yes…My father’sEnglish but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with.le Eastern name andBut Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middmeans “loved one” in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, isthat my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there.And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind ofperson and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name,loved one”“Habibi”,which means “Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great firstname too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusualthey?name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, wouldClare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t?Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha!

Apparently, shetakes visitors round the mysterious sights of London.Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me?

Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed.

But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t winbecause I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on yourlife?Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thaiand I’d just arrived in Thailand for afamily Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew Ihad to help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors.It was an incredibly difficult time but youknow, even in the middle of such a horrifictragedy there is still a huge amount ofgenuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor atManchester University. She gives advice to schoolstudents on choosing the right subject to studyat university. Joan, welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentiallylife-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas.Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to thefuture.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean? Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits（特质） and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, whatsubjects are you good at? Are you an organized andself-disciplined person? Are you confident andoutgoing? Do you like working with others in a teamor do you prefer working alone? These kinds ofquestions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future careerso it’s important to look into this carefully.I recommend you check not only which academicsubjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at whatuniversities offer. Each university has itsstrengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links thedepartment has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line.Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thi nks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of thebrightest graduates are picked from the topuniversities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream （主流）career then you should consider a course thathelps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look atwhich universities have the best levels ofgraduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…UNIT3Listening in conversation 1Lily: So what was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea?Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be going to see Nanta.Lily： What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant?Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture oftraditional Korean music, percussion and drums,into a western style performanceLily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in the West?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over30 countries since the show began in 1997.It'sa non-verbal performance so there are no languagebarriers. That's what's made it an internationalsuccess.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in the kitchen. You see these fourchefs preparing the food for a wedding reception.The performers use knives, dustbin lids andvarious other kitchen utensils to create ahypnotic soundtrack. The food literally flieseverywhere! It's hilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actual story though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also haveto give the manager's nephew cooking lessons too,which adds to the fun. There’s loads of audienceparticipation and despite there being nolanguage involved you get completely engrossed.It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…?Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really greatfamily show. In fact it's one of the best showsI've ever seen. Jim, my friend, says he takes allhis visitors. He's seen it about eight times andstill loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's hada run on Broadway too. It first got popular afterthey appeared at the Edinburgh Festival. Now theyare planning to tour more cities in Asia where(South) Korean popular culture is becomingincredibly trendy.Lily： By the wa y what does“Nanta” mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives youa clearer idea of what it's all about.Lily： You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide. Kathy-can you tell us what trendsyou've noticed in recent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is a huge increase in visitors togalleries-and a growing interest in modernart in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that? Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that somenew contemporary art galleries have openedwhich have had a lot of publicity, andsecondly the younger generation feel morecomfortable with modern art so the kind ofpeople visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of gallerieshave become destinations inthemselves...they tend to be housed inamazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries?Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over30 million visitors since it opened in2000.The annual average is now over 4.5million. The Museum of Modern Art, or MoMAin New York is an older gallery, it was founded in 1929 but has been recently renovated and expanded. This work was finished in 2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitors in the firstyear after reopening. Another verysuccessful new gallery is the Guggenheim inBilbao in Spain. It opened in 1997 and nowgets about a million visitors a year. Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures.Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is freeto visit might have something to do with it? Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of peoplevisiting the temporary exhibition are alsohigh-and the entrance fee is usually aboutten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costseight euros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think? Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering theoutstanding collections of priceless worksof art that they get to see.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attractionthemselves these days...Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao onthe tourist map. It's got a futuristic, curvymetallic structure and people love it. TheTate Modern has helped redevelop an oldindustrial area beside the River Thames. Thegallery itself is actually inside a huge , old, brick power station.And MoMA is interesting as it's in downtown New York. Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation.But in fact, 48 percent of visitors to theTate Modern are under 35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group.It’s widely acknowledged that the performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,s elf-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as”Forming”which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by”Storming”when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is”Norming”where a group identity begins to form.The final stage is”Performing”when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achieves results.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The”Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the”Monitorevaluator”is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The”Team worker”in c ontrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the”Comleter-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by thetsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,t hey built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy. The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need.Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for in monthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a littletest .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brand names?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,isthere,because we know,more or less,don’twe?Coca-Cola—that delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes forstrong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—anattractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what’s in a brandname?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly what both customers’exeprience and researchtells us.it’s the reasons why manufa cturers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namd “Cocafantaslicola”.I t’s just too long!Or,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks. Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s tak e another famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning very small,and the word soft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft. Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positive associations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or thestronges t.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.Alfa Romeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don’t the y?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari”—that makes it sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How aboutCoca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink.So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare T hompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-I met someone who called their baby ”Elsie”-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t wa nt her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Easter n name and means “loved one” in Arabic. Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi”,which means “loved one”Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet.Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they?Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t? Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha! That's what we're going to find out. Apparently, she takes visitors round the mysterious sights of London. Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me? But I don't know anything about London! Andy: Which makes you a perfect person to ask some real questions.Janet: I don't believe it.Joe: And if you're any good, we'll upload your interview next week.Janet: I'm not sure what to say .It's great but are you absolutely sure you think I'm OK for this?Joe: Too late, here she comes. Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believe that the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

5557新标准大学英语视听说教程第三册听力材料文本Unit 1Listening inPassage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things havehad a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much moreopen-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and itchanged the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for mybeliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…justthe generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lotaround Asia and you know, I found that in some ofthe poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and theypossess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me aless selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and theworld?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I foundit really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?○Sp eaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a housetogether. Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I supposebeing on the show and seeing how the othercontestants behaved made me realize how selfish andspiteful some people can be just to get what theywant. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself inlife. If you pretend to be someone different peoplewill eventually see through the lies.Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a verygreat impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d justarrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday.When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter fora group of volunteer doctors. It was an incrediblydifficult time but you know, even in the middle ofsuch a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount ofgenuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at Manchester University.She gives advice to school students on choosing the rightsubject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show. Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changingdecision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean? Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits（特质）and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at?Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others ina team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds ofquestions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s importantto look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particulararea of work, but also look carefully at what universitiesoffer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose onethat is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companiesin it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James!How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thin ks it’s better to go to a highlyrespected university, like Oxford, or to study somewherethat has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future.Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are pickedfrom the top universities around the world to join theleading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyerthen this is the route that might be for you. But if you arelooking for a more mainstream （主流）career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…andlook at which universities have the best levels of graduaterecruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I s ee! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…UNIT3Listening in conversation 1Lily: So what was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea? Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be going to see Nanta. Lily：What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant? Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture of traditional Korean music,percussion and drums, into a western style performance Lily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in the West?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30 countries since the show began in 1997.It's a non-verbalperformance so there are no language barriers. That'swhat's made it an international success.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in the kitchen. You see these four chefs preparing the food for awedding reception. The performers use knives, dustbin lidsand various other kitchen utensils to create a hypnoticsoundtrack. The food literally flies everywhere! It'shilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actual story though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also have to give the manager'snephew cooking lessons too, which adds to the fun.There’s loads of audience participation and despite therebeing no language involved you get completely engrossed.It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…?Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really great family show. In factit's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Jim, my friend,says he takes all his visitors. He's seen it about eight timesand still loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's had a run onBroadway too. It first got popular after they appeared atthe Edinburgh Festival. Now they are planning to tourmore cities in Asia where (South) Korean popular cultureis becoming incredibly trendy.Lily：By the way what does“Nanta” mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives you a clearer idea ofwhat it's all about.Lily：You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide.Kathy-can you tell us what trends you've noticed inrecent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is a huge increase in visitors to galleries-and a growinginterest in modern art in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that?Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that some newcontemporary art galleries have opened which havehad a lot of publicity, and secondly the youngergeneration feel more comfortable with modern art sothe kind of people visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of galleries have becomedestinations in themselves...they tend to be housed inamazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries? Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over 30 million visitors since it opened in 2000.The annualaverage is now over 4.5 million. The Museum ofModern Art, or MoMA in New York is an oldergallery, it was founded in 1929 but has been recentlyreno vated and expanded. This work was finished in2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitors in the firstyear after reopening. Another very successful newgallery is the Guggenheim in Bilbao in Spain. Itopened in 1997 and now gets about a million visitorsa year.Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures. Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is free to visit might havesomething to do with it?Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of people visiting the temporaryexhibition are also high-and the entrance fee is usuallyabout ten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costs eighteuros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think?Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering the outstandingcollections of priceless works of art that they get tosee.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attraction themselves these days... Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao on the tourist map. It's gota futuristic, curvy metallic structure and people love it.The Tate Modern has helped redevelop an oldindustrial area beside the River Thames. The galleryitself is actually inside a huge , old, brick powerstation. And MoMA is interesting as it's in downtownNew York.Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation. But in fact, 48percent of visitors to the Tate Modern are under35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group.It’s widely acknowledged that the perform ance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,s elf-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as”Forming”which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by”Storming”when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is”Norming”where a group identity begins to form.The final stage is”Performing”when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achieves results.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The”Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the”Monitorevaluator”is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The”Team worker”in cont rast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the”Comleter-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,t hey built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need. Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for inmonthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a little test .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brand names?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,is there,because we know,more or less,don’t we?Coca-Cola—that delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes for strong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—an attractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what’s in a brand name?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly what both customers’exeprience and research tells us.it’s the reasons why manufactu rers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namd “Cocafantaslicola”.It’s just too long!Or,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks.Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s take a nother famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning verysmall,and the word soft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft.Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positive associations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or the stronges t.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.Alfa Romeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don’t they?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari”—that makes it sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How about Coca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink. So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-Imet someone who called their baby ”Elsie”-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t want her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Eastern n ame and means “loved one” in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi”,which means “loved one”Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they?Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t?Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha! That's what we're going to find out. Apparently, she takes visitors round the mysterious sights of London. Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me? But I don't know anything about London!Andy: Which makes you a perfect person to ask some real questions.Janet: I don't believe it.Joe: And if you're any good, we'll upload your interview next week. Janet: I'm not sure what to say .It's great but are you absolutely sure you think I'm OK for this?Joe: Too late, here she comes. Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believethat the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

Yael the average weight difference between women and men is one reason why women tend to get intoxicated faster, but there's more Women also tend to have more fat and less muscle than men. even tall women ThIS IS significant because musde tissue contains more water than fat does and alcohol dissolves in water and thus is diluted With about ten percent more waterin their bodies than women. men can drink more alcohol than women before becoming intoxicated in fact. studies show that women suffer worse hangovers than men too Men tend to experience more sweating and vomiting as a result of dnnking butoverall women suffer more, including dehydration. exhaustion, headaches. and nausea With every drink, women are reaching higher degrees of intoxication than their male counterparts and thus it makes sense that they're reaching higher degrees of hangover too Wlore research is needed though to determine for certain why women'shangovers are worse.Yael:Hmm.Maybe I'll order a pitcher of water with this last drink.

But is it true? Thelack of women mathematicians. engineers and physicists has often be cited to prove of differences in sexes in malh performance Bulloday a team of researchers writing on the journal Science says the conventional wisdom is completely wrong. With our closer look here is ABC's Ned Potter.Girl A: Oh, Oh, Look! Look! We can do itPotter: 15 years ago it was an issue that fllled headlines that byhigh school giris were falling 15 poinis behind boys on the SAT college enirance exam Here's part of story ofours from 1994.

Net Potter3、When Wives Make MoreLauer: Matt Lauer; Chatzky:Jean Chatzky, Saltz:Gail SaltzDr Gail Saltz is a psychiatrist and Today contributor and Money Magazine'sJean Chatzky is Today's financial editor Ladies, good morning to both of youBoth: Good morning, MattSo you, you look at this statistics, you say, Ok. 25 percent of marriages right now, the woman earn, earns more than the man Great for women. great strides But if you also look at the fact that in those marriages the divorce rate is higher than in marriages where the man makes more, you realize you have a problem here Chatzky: You absolutely have a problem lt's making people onboth sides of the equation uncomfortable. women lust as much as men Money is power and power is masculinity This has so much to do with what your view of it means to be masculine and feminine lt's for both, it's very important for both because if you don't feellike your man as masculine, right? Then what does that say about yourfemininity?OK, just wait a second, we understand why the men get freaked out Just, coz' they've been taught to say I am the provider (Rightl) I am the protector But why exactlyChatzky: lt's guilt, it's guilt for leaving the household. going out, out-earning your spouse, depriving him of that masculinityI think it's exactly that Depriving him of that it's, it's imagined women could get to, what am I really guilty about They think they are robbing their husbands of his masculinityAnd at some point, don't they start to question whether their husbands reallytrying as hard as he should be, and, and is he a slacker in some cases?I think that's defensively somewhat to relieve their guilt Well maybe he's been a slacker, it's not me robbing him a bit But of course there is a wish to have an equal partner and feel provided for too on the part of the womanLet me get to some of the tips that you both come up with for how to make thiswork in an innerrelationship Think outside the box and I think what. what you mean there is, redefine what it means to the terms: masculine and feminineVery much so lt's that and it's also come look for other ways to make each other feel masculine and feminine So it doesn't have to be only about money being powerThere is time commitment; there is organization; there is nurturing What else do you provide in ways you can make each other feel those masculine and feminine roles Soltz: ExactlyChatzky: That's rightuauer: Don't feel guilty That's the other oneChatzky: Well, and it's what that guilt makes you do. that's the problem We've seen with women who out-earn their spouses, they come home and they take on a vast majority of the household chores which causes much more stress in the relationshipand they hand their paychecks over there is a new book out that shows women who out-earn their spouse just give the money to the guys and let them manage That's no good for anybody uauev So that they can have something that makes them feel masculine again They,they are running the household finance. so even if theyare not bringing in those, that moneyChatzky: RightSoltz: That's true And that, and that might not be a bad thing to say You could manage as long as the woman still knows where the money is and she has access to the moneyuauer: And by the way. you very rarely hear women who make a lot of money talking about the fact they make a lot of money You hear men talking about that all the timeThey avoid the subject, women?Chatzky: Right! We heard in the tape that women talking about the fact that she actually hides this This, this couple goes out to dinner She lets him pay the checks so he feels betterSoltz: You know, Matt, what matters so much is the roles of your family-of-origin So a woman might not feel comfortable talking about the money she's making if her motheruauer: By the way. this subject gets verl/ complicated when the wife becomes pregnant And the baby arrives, Now what about the maternity leave? if the wife is the.is the primarl/ breadwinner, how comfortable is she gonna be even considering being astay-at-home mom?Chatzky: Right and because you have to run the numbers inadvance and you have to really explore the options And we are not talking about the good point of this which isthat this gives the family overall some additional flexibility (Lauer: Options ) to figure out who should be working at which point And if your lines of communication are open, then you can really use these to your advantageuauev But again, more of these marriages end in divorce than traditional types of marriages, so there are clearly some issues to be dealt with Gail and Jean, thanks very muchChatzkv: Sure4、Computer Science and WomenWhen you hear the term, "computer geekr what image immediately pops into mind? is the geek in your mind's eye a woman? Probably notThere's a reason that the stereotype of the computer geek is almost always depicted as male Around the worid, significantly more men than women work in computer scienceSociologists understand that the underrepresentation of women in the sciences and mathematics isn't simply a matter of women stinking at these subjects or lacking interest in them ifwomen believe they aren't talented in science and math or that these subjects don't hold interest for them, this is in part a result of the widely circulated belief that these subjects come more naturally to men Women are thought to be better suited to fields such as education and healthcare Women who dare choose a career in the sciences or in math are likely to experience prejudice from their male colleagues, as well as from the community atlarge Sociologists found it curious though that the degree to which women are underrepresented in computer science varies largely from one industrialized country to another Women are much better represented in computer science in South Korea, ireland, and Turkey than in the Czech Republic, Germany, or Belgium, for exampleWhy the difference? What South Korea. ireland. Turkey. and the United States all have in common is that governmental education requirements insist that giris and boys alike complete a significant number of science and mathematics courses in order to graduate from high schoolAs a result of such requirements. giris are able to judge from experience whether their interests and talents lie in science and math rather than letting gender stereotypes decide for them6、Women Playing a Major Role in AfghanJami: Rahima Jami; Abirafeh : Lina Abirafeh; Yelenek : Emily YelenekReporter: Rahima Jami is a high school principal from Herat province, running for parliament in Afghanistan's first legislative elections in decades Ms Jami is an advocate for women's rights, but on this day, she is addressing an audience of men only Jami: I have tried first to get the men to listen and then the women I noticed this brought me good results Because in Afghan society. if a man can agree with what a woman says. this is excellent, then we all can agreeReporter: Ms Jamiis one of several hundred women among some 3.000 candidates running for parliament in Sunday's elections When the Taleban regime seized power in 1996, it barred women from working and giris from studying Women were often beaten if they went outside without wearmg a head-to-toe burqaBut since U S -led forces ousted the Taleban government in 2001, Afghanistan has set up a democratic system of government and the lives of many women have been improved Under the new Afghan law. women are guaranteed one quarter of the 249 national assembly seats Lina Abirafeh. who works on the UnitedNations and Afghangovernment group organizing Sunday's elections, says women are already playing a more prominent role in publiclifeAbirafeh: lt's important to look at how far Afghanistan has come in such a short time.There is a ver\/ progressive quota in place and this quota, 25 percent of the seats (inparliament) reserved for women was decided in the Afghan constitution by Afghans themselves So there is an initiative by Afghans to promote women. to level the playing field and women understand that they have a right and a responsibility to play an active Reporter: Still, women candidates face obstacles above and beyond those ofAfghanmen in this conservative Muslim societ,} Taleban insurgents have threatened to kill women taking part in the election On Wednesday. a female candidate in eastern Nuristan province survived an assassination attempt after attackers fired at her while she was campaigning A recent report by the rights group, Human Rights Watch, in New York says that in some Taliban stronghold provinces, several seats will remain empty because there are so few women candidates The group warns of an "underlying climate offear among many voters and candidates,especially in rural areas " And in a country where most people YorK says tnat in some TaIIDan strongnoid provinces, several seats will remain empty because there are so few women candidates The group warns of an "underlying climate offear among many voters and candidates, especially in rural areas " And in a country where most people are illiterate, civic education officers like Emily Yelenek must teach voters their basic rights Yelenek: Peop!e are interested but a lot of women dorVt understand what this election is about and what the parliament actually means So it's our job really to explain to people you know, what the elections are and what the parliament means, what the Wolesi Jirga(Lower House) is, what the provincial councils do and, you know. what their rights are fundamentallyReporter: Many people. like this woman from Herat province, also complain they do not know anything about the candidatesDuring the Taliban years. the countW broke down, there were no schoolsSo people emigrated to iran and Pakistan and other countries Now they have just returned. some aren't even from Herat, and we don't know who these candidates areReporter: Whatever the outcome on Sunday, observers say that theelections will be a critical test of women's freedom to take part in AfghanistarVs political life7、Why do Men liveRabi:Robi Ludwing, Steve: Steve SantagatiWoman: My husband does notlie to me Most men lie. but my husband doesn'tlieMan: Of course, everybody liesHost: Robi Ludwing is a psychotherapist Steve Santagati is with Men's Journal Goodmorning to both of youRobi: Good morningSteve: Good morningHost: Ok, let's start this off Everybody lies, (that's true)men. men and womenRobi: No, I haven't seen it; in fact, women and lie. probably. women and menprobably lie at the same amount But women and men lie about different things Sowhen women lie. it's usually more complimentary or altruistic, the white lies, they are kind of nice to make you feel better .

In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had theirtwentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping w ith life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful. Stressful events in our lives are called “stressors.” Some of them are minor, such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious, such as the death of a spous e. That event tops the list as life’s most stressful event.You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life’s major stressors. We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.Tina Vega, 16Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town.

Three weeks ago I lost my job. I was upset for the first week. I couldn’t do anything. Now I’m looking for a new job. It’s not good to sit around the house.

Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said that Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。

There are many side effects of getting a tattoo. For one thing, using unclean needles that arenot sterilized properly for tattoos may lead to contracting diseases, such as HIV. Tattoos also lookvery unprofessional. If a student walks into an interview with a tattoo on his or her neck, it maylower their chances of getting the job. Some people may even think tattoos are disgusting. Tattoosmay also be particularly unattractive and ugly-looking on females.Besides, tattoos are permanent and are not easy to get rid of. When they get old, the tattoos looklike a mess.So no matter what reasons there might be for getting a tattoo, young people must alwaysremember the consequences and risks. They shouldn’t get one unless they really want to keep it ontheir body forever and are willing to live with the consequences.Audio Track 3-8-9/Audio Track 3-8-10(Speaker 1: Rachel Levine)I’m Rachel Levine. I’m a psychologist.In my view, the Internet has caused problems in dating. Some people think the Internet will helpthem find love a lot faster. But even if you have a great relationship online, you still have to meetface to face. And then the relationship often doesn’t work.(Speaker 2: Carman Torres)I’m Carman Torres. I’m 26 years old.I think high-tech dating doesn’t work, because you can’t really judge things like looks, personality,and sincerity online. On the computer a person can tell you all of their great qualities, and leaveout the bad points. So you can waste a lot of time meeting guys that you really don’t get a with.(Speaker 3: Tina Gunderson)I’m Tina Gunderson. I’m 29 years old.I know Internet dating is really popular, but I’ve never tried it. I think the best way to meet aboyfriend is at your job. You can get to know a person very well in a relaxed way, with nopressure, because you’re not dating. You can learn about his personality because you spend a lot oftime together.

We didn't reallyknow the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis:I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.
