Alarmed, Grandma said, “Honey, where areyou going?”Grandpa replied, “To get my teeth!”___T___ 1. Grandpa and Grandma had a lovely talk while the sun was setting.___T___ 2.

Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.Can you recite the alphabet(字母表) easily and quickly? Can youwrite your name easily? Can you play scales(音阶) on a musical instrument?You would probably say that you memorized all this. But what you actually did was to learn them. And the way you learned them was by forming a habit! In other words, what was once quite difficult for you, such as reciting the alphabet orplaying scales, became easy and almost automatic when you formed the habit ofdoing it. So memory can be described as learning by means of forming habits.A human being has a tremendous(巨大的) number of such habits that enablehim to do most of the ordinary things in life, such as fastening buttons or washing hands. But suppose you read a book and then someone asked you what the book was about, or how to describe the plot(情节). Surely, your response cannot be said to come from habit.But if you examine the situation carefully, you will see that something very much like habit does play a part. For example, with ordinary habits, you learn howto put certain elements together in the proper order. Now, when you give the plot ofa book, or tell what it’s about, you are doing the same kind of thing. In fact, some psychologists say that all learning (and this also means memory) is made up of avast combination of simple habits.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer thefollowing questionsorally.1. What would people say about doing things easily hand quickly in life?They would probably say that people had memorized how to do them.2. What can memory be described as, according to the talk?It can be described as learning by means of forming habits.3. What can habits do?They enable us to do most of the ordinary things in life.4. What are you actually doing while describing the plot of book?You are making sue of something that is very much like habit.5. What question do you think the speaker is trying to answer?What is memory?10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.How important is memory to learning?。

The bee has been the subject(研究对象) of hundreds of these tests, because we have been curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color. In one experiment,a bit of syrup(糖浆) was put in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a redcard. After a while, the bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had no syrup in front of it. This proved they can tell colors apart.Two strange things were found out about the bee’s ability to see in color. The first is that a bee cannot see red as a color.

It’s good form to make an apologywhen this occurs. A prompt (及时的) and proper apology invitesforgiveness (原谅). Failure to do so tends to cause embarrassment, oreven argument or hostility (敌意). It’s also decent (得体的) behaviorto respond to an apology in a polite way.To forgive is a virtue (美德).The practice of making an apology is highly appreciated in society.There’re many ways of making an apology:—Excuse me for my interrupting you.—I’m really sorry for being late.—I’m terribly sorry to step on you.—I’m awfully sorry (that) I have forgotten your name.—I apologize for what I have said.—I’m a fraid I seem to have to have forgotten your birthday.—I owe you an apology for the delay.—I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.—It was really quite unintentional.—I hope you excuse me.There are also many ways of responding to an apology:—That’s (quite) all right.—These things happen; it can’t be helped.—I quite understand.

The doctor took the man’s complaint seriously and pondered an effective treatment.T 5. The doctor worried about his failure to receive the man’s payment of his fee (诊费).Tape script:The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.“Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes,” answered the patient. “Y ou see, I seem to be getting forgetful. I’m never sure I can remember where I put the car, or whether I answered a letter, or where I’m going, or what it is I’m going to do once I get there —if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?”The doctor pondered for a moment, then answered in his kindest tone, “Pay me in advance.”8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.The new inmate (住院者) at the mental hospital announced in a loud voice that he was the famous British naval (海军的) hero, Lord Nelson. This was particularly interesting because the institution already had a “Lord Nelson.”The head psychiatrist (精神病医生), after due (充分的) consideration, decided to put the two men in the same room, feeling that the similarity of their delusions (错觉) might promote an adjustment in each that could help in curing them.It was a calculated (成败参半的) risk, of course, for the two men might react violently to one another, but they were introduced and then left alone and no disturbance was heard from the room that night.The next morning, the doctor had a talk with his new patient and was more than pleasantly surprised when he was told, “Doctor, I’ve been suffering from a delicious.I know now for a fact that I am not Lord Nelson.”“That’s wonderful,” said the doctor. “Who are you?”Smiling coyly (羞答答地), the patient replied, “I’m Lady Nelson.”9.

What does the new inmate announce in a loud voice?He announced that he was the famous British naval hero, Lord Nelson.2. What did the head psychiatrist decide to do?He decided to put the two men in the same room.3. What happened that night?No disturbance was heard from the room that night.4. What did the doctor do the next morning?He had a talk with the new inmate.5. What did the new patient say?He said that he had been suffering from a delicious and he was not Lord Nelson, but Lady Nelson.10 Directions: Explore a response to the question given below.Is the making of an apology well practiced among college students?。

Narrator: Welcome to "The World of History." I'm your host, Dr. Emily Carter. Today, we'll travel back in time to explore the fascinating life and legacy of Alexander the Great.Alexander was born in Pella, Macedonia in 356 BC. His father, Philip II, was a brilliant military strategist who transformed Macedonia into a powerful kingdom. From a young age, Alexander showed exceptional promise as a warrior and leader.At the age of 20, Alexander became king of Macedonia after his father's assassination. Driven by an insatiable thirst for conquest, he embarked on a remarkable military campaign that stretched from Greece to India.Over the next 13 years, Alexander's armies conquered a vast empire that extended over 2,200 miles. He defeated the Persian Empire, the Egyptian Empire, and numerous other kingdoms. Alexander's conquests not only expanded the boundaries of the known world but also spread Greek culture and influence throughout the Mediterranean region.Alexander's military genius was unparalleled. He employed innovative tactics, such as the phalanx formation, and used a combination of heavy infantry, cavalry, and siege engines to overwhelm his opponents. He was also a skilled diplomat and administrator, who respected the customs of the conquered peoples and encouraged cultural exchange.Beyond his military prowess, Alexander was a patron of the arts and sciences. He founded new cities, including Alexandria in Egypt, which became a center of learning and scholarship. He supported scholars such as Aristotle, who served as his tutor during his youth.In 323 BC, at the age of 32, Alexander the Great died in Babylon under mysterious circumstances. His vast empire was divided among his generals, leading to a period of instability and fragmentation known as the Hellenistic Period.Alexander's legacy continues to inspire and fascinate people around the world. He is remembered as one of the greatest military commanders in history, a brilliant strategist, and a visionary leader who shaped the course of Western civilization.Passage 2。

Unit Five珍贵的遗产罗恩·戈尔德埃尔西外婆去世时我才17岁。

她是我祖父母一辈中最后一个去世的，我是她唯一的外孙。

直到律师宣读她遗嘱的那一刻，我才充分感受到这位老妇人深深的爱。

这是一个我永生难忘的时刻——这一天，我成了镇上最富有的孩子。

我和父母、索菲姨妈、比尔姨夫围坐在她的律师办公室的小型会议桌旁。

她想让她的女儿和女婿们一起分享她所留下的一点财富——包括小额保险单的收益、几个手镯、一些珠宝和她的结婚戒指。

除此之外，她还给他们留下了房子的契约、银行账户、当地电气公司的少许股票以及一面美国国旗。

这面国旗是军方为爱德温外公举行葬礼时授予她的。

我们起身离去时，律师对我们说，―还有三样东西。

‖他从公文包里取出一个小小的珠宝盒、一封信和一叠用红纸整整齐齐包着的信封。

―杰弗里，你的外婆把她的订婚钻戒留给了你，希望你不久就能好好地派上用处。

‖大家都笑了起来。

―这些也是给你的，杰弗里，‖他说，―这封信和这些情书可能是所有遗产中最珍贵的。

‖外婆的信是这样开始的:“亲爱的杰弗里，我把我最珍贵的财富之一——我的回忆——留给你。

这些回忆即是你爱德温外公不在我身边时写给我的信。

请读读这些信吧，它们是无价之宝，是指导你如何去爱一个女人、如何理解别人、如何重视并保持正直品格的指南。

“读这些信时，你会感受到一个出色的男人对一个出色的女人的思念和激情，你会了解战争给人们带来的恐惧和痛苦，你会认识到是非之分，你会学会信任你爱的人，远离你不信任的人，你也会知道什么是陈酿的友谊，真爱何以会成为你生活的核心。

―杰弗里，我一直都很幸运。

我爱着一个优秀的男人，他也深爱着我。

尽管他的爱现在已经成了回忆，但它也是一个永远也不会结束的真实的梦。

爱就像一张存放在相册中的美丽的照片。

每当你惊奇地凝视它时，你都能欣赏到它的美。

爱可以使时间停滞，使你再一次青春焕发——永远青春焕发！爱德温外公是个军人，是一位职业军官，第一次世界大战期间赴法国，在潘兴将军的部队中服役。

PASSAGE 1Pigs are not native to north America. They were first introduced to California by Spanish and Russian explorers and settlers many centuries ago.

TheyOY also harbored dozens of diseases that threaten both humans and farm animals. Forest patches with wild pigs have been found to have considerably reduced plant and animal diversity.In addition to either eating other animals or their food supply, wild pigs damaged native habitats by reaching up crosses and rubbing on trees. Their activities may also create opportunities for invasive plants to colonize these areas. Wild pigs will eat almost anything containing calories. Mice, deer, birds, snakes and frogs are among their victims.They can also harm other wild species through indirect competition rather than eating them or shrinking their food supply. On one particular United States island, wild pigs themselves became an attractive food source for a species of mainland eagle.

【听力】爱在微博时代 21st Century Romance[顶]2011-11-29
【听力原文】（点击图片可听）
Picture the scene. It is dark except forthe dim yellow candlelight; it is silent except for the scratching of a pen. Ayoung lover pours out his heart in a letter to his loved one, who, days later,tears it open with a beating heart and in the strictest privacy.
The love letter has an important place inour cultural imagination, but does it have a place on social networking sitesand microblogs? What is the shape of 21st century courtship?
The end of 2010 saw the kindling of aromance between the Australian cricketing star Shane Warne and the Britishmodel Elizabeth Hurley on the social networking site Twitter.
Hurley and Warne didn't just update theirrelationship status. The celebrities exchanged flirtatious messages in public,before Hurley had announced the end of her marriage to Arun Nayar.
So can a tweet ever count as a grandromantic gesture? Judge for yourself, with this recent message from Hurley toWarne about her parrot Ping Pong:
"Baby Ping now says 'Hello Darling'and 'Hello Little Girl'. Sweet!"
But although the pair have flirted openlyonline, in real life they still enjoy their privacy. Special screens aroundWarne's home prevented photographers from snapping the couple during Hurley'svisit to Australia last week.
