And there's so much construction going on. Lingling: I know, we're growing very fast. For example, I don't think we have as many freeways as Sydney does, but we soon will! Richard: I believe you! I think there are fewer tourists in Beijing—at least for now. And I get the feeling that Beijing's less dangerous.Lingling: Yes, there's probably a lot less crime here.Richard: What about the climate? I think Sydney has less rain.Lingling: Yes, we can get a lot of rain in July and August.Richard: I've noticed! It's pouring at the moment!Lingling: The good thing about the rain, of course, is that it washes the pollution away.Richard: I've noticed that too. We don't have as much pollution as you do.Lingling: That's because you have less industry. The air can get quite polluted here...Ok, so that covers a lot of the differences. But are there any similarities?Richard: Oh yes...for example, I notice the wealth and the energy.Lingling: Sorry, I didn't get that. Richard: The wealth and energy. I think there are as many rich people here as in Sydney... and I think your city is just as lively as mine.Lingling: That's good to hear. So shall we go out this evening and find some of the action?必修三Module 3 听力原文Reporter: I'm standing in the centre of Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, wherejust one week ago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is Frank Savage, the governor of the island. Mr Savage, thank you for talking to us.Savage: You're welcome.Reporter: What exactly happened last week? Savage: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea.Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path.Reporter: That's terrible. Was anybody hurt?Savage: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another island before the eruption took place.Reporter: Why are you still here?Savage: Well, I'm still working because there's a lot to do.Reporter: How many people live on the island?Savage: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left. Reporter: Which areas are the most dangerous?Savage: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot of villages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire when the lava reached them. Reporter: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that. Savage: Thankfully, no one was killed. Reporter: Are the houses still on fire? Savage: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.Reporter: That's very good news. Well, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth. Does this mean that the danger is over?Savage: No! The volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still verydangerous and they can't go back to their houses.Reporter: OK—so that's the message from the governor —don't go back to your houses. When will people be able to return home? Savage: We don't know at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too long. Reporter: Thank you for your time, Mr Savage.Savage: Thank you.必修三Module 4 听力原文(int=interviewer)Int: David, what do you see as the main problems with the environment?D.U: Well, in a nutshell, the most urgent problem of all is the climate. The world's climate seemsto be getting warmer.Int: We've seen a lot of evidence of that, haven't we? Hotter summers, warmer winters, that kind of thing.D.U: Yes, we have. Also, scientists have found that the ice at the Poles is beginning to melt.Int: We've heard that too. Is that really happening?D.U: Yes, I'm afraid it is. And at sometime in the future, the ice may melt completely. Then it's Possible that the sea could rise and coastal cities like New York and Shanghai could disappear under water. Int: It sounds very frightening.D.U: I couldn't agree with you more. It's scary!Int: Can you explain why the climate's getting warmer?D.U: Well, I'll do my best! It's pollution that's the problem. Gases from cars enter the atmosphere and stop the sun's heat from leaving the atmosphere. And factories give out chemicals that do the same thing. So as a result, the climate is getting warmer.Int: From what I understand, carbon dioxide from cars is a major problem.D.U: You're absolutely right. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does most damage to the atmosphere. But we have a problem with trees too. You see, trees give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. So they're very useful because they use up the carbon dioxide.Int: I know what you're going to say. We're cutting down all the trees.D.U: Yes, we cut them down because we need the land and because we use the wood for paper and furniture. That leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Int: It's a terrible situation.D.U: Yes, and another problem is all the garbage that we produce. We burn a lot of garbage, and once again, the gases pollute the atmosphere. The situation couldn't be worse, really.Int: We should recycle garbage, not burn it.D.U: Of course we should.Int: It's strange, we know all this, and yet we do nothing but talk about it. I can't help but feel very concerned.D.U: Yes, well, it is worrying. But governments are beginning to do something about it. I don't think it's too late.必修三Module 5 听力原文China has given the world many important inventions. To give an example, it is the country in which silk was first invented. Silk was made there as long ago as 3200 BC. Chinese farmers grew mulberry leaves because they knew that a certain kind of caterpillar ate them. The Chinese did not tell other countries how silk was made and other countries how silk was made and other countries paid a lot for this soft, strong material.Su Song was an eleventh century monk about whom very little is know. However, we do know that in 1092 AD he invented the first real clock. For the first time ever, it became possible to tell the time. In the 1950s a copy was built and this copy can be seen today in Beijing.They say that a man called Cai Lun made paper from the bark of a tree in about 105 AD. If so, he is a man of whom China can be proud. Paper was a very important invention because it was cheap and people could afford to buy it. Before that time, writers had used expensive materials such as silk. The invention was immediately successful. However, paper did not spread to other countries for another 500 years.Printing was invented in China as early as 868 AD. The book in which printing first appeared was called The Diamond Sutra. Withprinting, it became possible t produce many copies at the same time. In 1041 AD, a chemist called Bi Sheng invented a type of print that could move. It was not until 1454 that the first book was printed in Europe.The first time that we hear of a real toothbrush is in a Chinese book of 1498 AD. This toothbrush could clean teeth quickly and well. The toothbrush only reached Europe in the seventeenth century, when it quickly became very popular.必修三Module 6 听力原文1M: What are you looking for?W: A map of China.M: I've got a book here that has lots of maps of China.

The Three Gorges Dam?M: No. The film I saw wasn't about the Three Gorges Dam.W: Wasn't it?M: No. It was another dam. It was in Egypt.W: Was it an interesting film?M: Interesting? It was absolutely fascinating!3W: We visited the Three Gorges Dam in December.M: Really? How did you get there?W: We took a boat that went up the Yangtze River.M: Was it a nice trip?W: Nice? It was absolutely wonderful!4W: What are you doing?M: I'm writing an email to some people I met on the boat.W: Where are they from?M: Vietnam. They were on a visit organised by the government.

People believe the dragon can drive away evil and bring favourable weather for farming. This tradition is more than 300 years old.The Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year and it is the first significant festival after Chinese New Year. It also marks the final day of the Chinese New Year celebrations.The main activity during the Lantern Festival is looking at lanterns. On the day of the festival, no matter where you go—the streets, markets, shops, parks, and homes— you can see beautiful lanterns. Children like to play outside with their lanterns. In the evening, most cities will organise lantern shows which add to the festive atmosphere. The shows have lanterns of different shapes, including animals, flowers, people, buildings, and more.Riddles are usually written on the lanterns. People crowd around to try to guess the riddles. This is one of the most popular activities since the beginning of the festival.Yuanxiao is the special food of the Lantern Festival. Different fillings are stuffed into balls of sticky rice flour. They are then boiled and enjoyed by all families on the night of the festival. The round shape of yuanxiao symbolises reunion, harmony, and happiness.Interestingly, the Lantern Festival was known as Chinese Valentines Day’s in the past. In the old days, young girls were usually not allowed to leave their houses, except during the Lantern Festival when they could join the crowds. Therefore, the festival became a rare opportunity that only happened once a year for single people to find love while looking at lanterns. And it was also a good day for lovers to meet.Many ancient Chinese poets have written poems about the Lantern Festival which describe happy moments and also the stories of young lovers. However, in most parts of China today, the festival has lost these original meanings.With a history of over 2,000 years as a traditional Chinese festival, the Lantern Festival is celebrated both in China and abroad. Chinese people living in any part of the world can experience and share this exciting festival.Unit 2 Morals and VirtuesListening and SpeakingLuke: Hi Jane! What are you reading?Jane:Oh, hey, Luke! I’m reading a very intere sting magazine article about moral dilemmas.Luke: Moral dilemma? What do you mean?Jane: You know, it's when you have two choices, and you have to choose one, but for moral reasons sometimes it could be really difficult to decide.Luke: Oh, situations like that don’t happen very often, do they?Jane: Actually, I think people face moral dilemmas all the time, even us students.Luke: Really? Like whatJane: Well, for example, it mentions a girl who was taking the entrance exam for a medical university in Beijing.During the exam, the student next to her fainted. The girl had a choice. Should she finish the exam or should she stop and help the student?Luke: Surely the teachers would look after the student who fainted!Jane: Well, that’s what I thought—but not this girl. She stopped to help the student, thinking that it was better to put the needs of the other person first.Luke: So what happened to her exam?Jane: She never finished it. Instead, she carried the student to a safe place and looked after her. Then she went to the hospital with the student and called her sister.Luke: I can’t believe she would give up her chance to get into medical university! Who would do such a thing? Jane: Well, that girl was Lin Qiaozhi. She later DID get into medical university and then she became a great doctor. She became famous for caring for tens of thousands of women and their babies.Luke: Oh, wow! So she became a doctor even though she left her exam that day!Jane: Y es. Her life was full of hard choices, but she didn’t let them stop her from taking care of people who were in need. She always cared for others more than for herself.Listening and TalkingHost: Hello and welcome to the Rush Hour Show, the radio show for your way home. Our guest today is Kevin Miller, with the Pay It Forward Foundation. Welcome, Kevin, so what is "paying it forward"?Kevin: Hi, there. So "paying it forward” means that if you receive kindness from someone, you don’t try to pay them back. Instead, you go out and show kindness to someone else.Host: Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how it works?Kevin: Well, I’m sure you’ve heard the famous country song, "The Chain of Love". The song starts with a man who helps a lady whose car has broken down. The lady wants to pay him, but he won't accept payment, instead telling the woman to just show kindness to another person. Later, when the lady stops at a cafe, she notices her waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, she pays for her meal with a hundred-dollar bill. Then the lady walks out, leaving the change and a note for the waitress. Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a surprise ending. The waitress goes home to her husband, happy because of the kindness the lady showed her. Then we find out that he’s the man who firststarted the chain of kindness!Host: What a great story! So does this happen in real life?Kevin: Yes, actually. One woman, after paying for her coffee, then quietly paid for the coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had been paid for, he paid for the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued for hours. Nearly 400 people paid for the coffee of the person behind them!Host: Wow, that’s amazing. So what can our listeners do to help?Kevin: Well, join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are "paying it forward"! We never know what light we might spark in others by our kindness.*Video TimeConfucius and RenNarrator:For more than 2, 000 years, the teachings of Confucius have been an important part of Chinese culture. Scholars in ancient China were expected to be well-educated in the philosophy and moral values of Confucius. Even today, Confucian thought is still greatly valued in education and in society both in China and in other East Asian countries.Question: Why do you think today’s students should shady the teachings of Confucius?Professor Guan:The teachings of Confucius are all about the most basic values of life. Confucius talks about things like how to become a better person, how to get along with other people, how to live a happy, meaningful life If our students really understand these ideas, it could change their life.Narrator:When you read the writings of Confucius, you will see a constantly recurring word, a Chinese character that represents the heart of Confucian thought: the character ren. What is ren? If you look closely at the written character, you can understand what it means. The left-hand element of the character represents a person, a human being, the element on the right stands for the number two. The two elements, when joined, indicate relationships between individuals or with all of societyConfucius taught that ren was the highest moral principle, the standard by which all other morals were measured. In English, many different words have been used to translate ren: benevolence, love,kindheartedness, goodness, and humanity , to name a few.Question: Where does ren come from?Professor Lei:Confucius said that this kind of love, ren, begins with the love to one’s own parents. Confucius believed that if someone cannot love his own parents, he also cannot love other people. If we can show this love to our own family, we can also show this love to other people around us, to the country, and to the whole world.Narrator:One of the greatest scholars who studied Confucian thinking, a man named Mencius, explained ren like this: "loving ones parents, loving people, loving everything in the world.”Zigong asked. "Is there one single concept that we can take as a guide for all actions in our lives? ”Confucius said, What about ‘fairn ess’? Whatever you don’t like done to yourself. don’t do it to others.”This kind of love should direct everything we do. It leads the way to all other virtues in life. “ Do not do to others anything that you would not want done to you. " This truth from the time of Confucius still holds true today.Unit 3 Diverse CulturesListening and SpeakingInterviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox. He’s here to talk about cultural influences on American food.Welcome, Steve!Steve: Thank you. It's nice to be here.Interviewer: When it comes to American food, some say no food was ever invented in America. What do you think?Steve:Hmm., .That’s not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany, but they’re wrong. The recipe for the meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany,but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans.Interviewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures? Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States. Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed-culture dishes. Like nachos, for example. Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese!Steve: Yes, they’re delicious, but they’re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers. Then there are fortune cookies. ….Interviewer: What do you mean?Steve:They’re not Chinese.Interviewer: You're kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them!Steve:Yes, but they’re unknown in China. About 100 years ago, someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese-style cookie, and the fortune cookie was born! Interviewer: Wow! That/s interesting! So they’re like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. Steve: You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking.Interviewer: So it's the food of many different cultures, all in one dish?Steve: Exactly. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.Listening and TalkingLISTENING PART 1Justin: Hey, Wu Yue, do you know what kind of instrument these Miao performers are playing?Wu Yue: Yes, it's called a lusheng, my favourite musical instrument.Justin: It sounds beautiful. Is it made of bamboo?u Yue: Yes. Can you guess when it was invented?Justin: Um...five hundred years ago I can’t tell. I know China has a very long history.wu Yue: That's a good guess, but the lusheng actually has a history of over 3,000 years. It's even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry.Justin: Wow, such a long time ago. There must be many beautiful songs.wu Yue: Yes, indeed, and they all make me proud. You know, I'm a Miao, too, and I'm really proud of our culture.Look, the performers are performing the lushen g dance. (music)Justin: This is great! And I really like the silver accessories that the girls are wearing. What are they?Wu Yue: Oh, they’re traditional hand-made accessories. I can help you buy some as souvenirs if you like Justin: Great, thanks! I hope they're not too expensive.Wu Yue: Oh, well, it' ll depend on the percentage of silver.LISTENING PART 2(a few minutes later)Justin: Great, now I have my souvenirs. So where are we going next, Wu Y ue?Wu Yue: I’m taking you to Zhaoxing, a pretty Dong minority village. It's considered one of China’s most beautiful villages.Justin: Great. I can't wait. There must be a lot to see.Wu Yue: There is. First, I'll take you to see the beautiful drum towers, and then the wind and rain bridges. The Dong play the lusheng, too. Perhaps you’ll see them perform the Grand Song of the Dong People.Believe me, you'll love it.Justin: Wow. I’m really looking forward to it now.*Video TimeWorld's Biggest Melting PotNarrator: In today’s global village, multiculturalism is normal. But one neighbourhood in particular claims to be one of the most diverse places in the world. Welcome to Queens, New York.Man: How are you doing? What's happening? We’re all immigrants. Who understands an immigrant better than an immigrant?aerator: Almost half of the population of Queens was born in another country. Its residents come from 100 different nations and they speak almost 150 different languages. No racial or ethnic group is a majority here. There may be other neighbourhoods with even more foreign-born residents, but only here do we find so many different cultures, nationalities and ethnicities all in one place.Woman 1: I know that, you know, I’m from Madras, the southern part of India. My parents live there and my grandparents live thereWoman 2: My mum’s from South Korea. And on my father’s side. I am German, Irish, English, and I think a little bit of Native American, but that part I’m not sure.Woman 3: My great-grandfather was Puerto Rican and his parents were Puerto Rican and so on and so forth. So, as far as I know, we’ve always been Puerto Rican. And I feel connected to that and when I look in the mirror I see that and I see my grandmother and my great-grandmother. It's something that I cherish and it's something that I'm very protective of.woman 4: So you have Eastern Europeans. You have Hispanics. You have Turkish. You have Arabic. I like that. I like that very much..Narrator: A 2001 study measured diversity using a simple idea. How likely is it that two randomly selected people have different backgrounds? In their study, Queens scored highest in the United States. As the most diverse community in the most diverse country in the world, it's a fair claim. But even if there is no way to prove that it's the most diverse place in the world, Queens, New York, is a great example of a melting pot.Unit 4 Space ExplorationListening and SpeakingInterviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr. Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut. Welcome to the show, Mr. YangMr. Yang: Thank youInterviewer: Mr. Yang, our audience is very curious about how you succeeded in becoming China’s first astronaut. It must have been a very difficult thing to achieve. Did you always want to he onastronaut?Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It took a long time. First, I got my college degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a fighter pilot for around10 years. I finally became Chinas first astronaut when I was 38 years old.Interviewer: Oh so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons you were chosen for the space programme?Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me.Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme?Mr Yang: There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1, 500 pilots to train for space flights.Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also have to be a certain size and weight?Mr Yang: Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape.Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right?Mr Yang: Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have theopportunity.Listening and TalkingInterviewer: Hello, Captain Brown. You're back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back?Captain Brown: Well, yes and no. It's great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.Interviewer: So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult?aptain Brown: Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We chose what we want to eat before we go to space,and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it. Interviewer: Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I d love to know how you keep yourselves cleanCaptain Brown: Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.Interviewer: Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission?Captain Brown: I was there for more than five months.Interviewer: Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there?Captain Brown: I was usually busy doing different experiments.Interviewer: Did you have any free time? Do astronauts get time off?Captain Brown: Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That’s right—I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family.*Video TimeExploring MarsMars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. As our nearest planetary neighbour, it is one of the few planets that we can see with the naked eye. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system. It is about half of the size of Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface.The Red Planet has the largest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons, which is roughly 27 kilometres high. That' s about three times as high as Mount Qomolangma. Mars also has deepest. longest valley in the solar system—valles Marineris.Mars has seasons like Earth, but the seasons on Mars are twice as long as the seasons on Earth. Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun. Mars is much colder than Earth. However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds. The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars’s ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.The similarities and differences between Earth and Mars raise many questions: Is Mars the past or the future of Earth? How did it become a mostly barren planet? Many scientists believe that studying Mars can help us answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth, or even the universe.Missions to Mars have never been easy. Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed. The USA, Russia, the European Space Agency, and several other countries have lost many spacecraft in their quest to explore the Red Planet. Nevertheless, they will still continue their explorations. Chinese experts are confident about their plan to explore Mars, despite the many challenges. Launching the first Mars probe from Wenchang around 2020 is the first step.The Chinese Mars probe consists of three parts: the orbiter, the lander, and the rover. This 3D demonstration video made by the China Academy of Space Technology shows the 10-month fight of the Mars probe before it closes in on the Red Planet.Entering the Earth-mars transfer orbit, the Mars probe separates from the launch vehicle. Then the space-o-ground communications link is created. Controllers on Earth guide it into the orbit around Mars. After collecting detailed information about the landing area, the probe is ready for the landing. The orbiter and the lander separate. The orbiter stays in the orbit for at least a year to photograph key areas and monitor the planets environment, while the lander heads down to the surface of Mars. Nine kilometres above the planet, a large parachute opens to slow the landing craft as it falls. After discarding the protective shield and the parachute, the lander chooses a safe place to land, where the Martian rover can start operations, collecting and transmitting data back to Earth. After receiving its orders from Earth, the rover leaves the landing point and begins to explore the surface of Mars.This voyage of China’s first Mars probe is just the beginning of China’s deeper voyages into outer space. China will continue to explore strange new worlds, seeking answers to the mysteries of the universe.Unit 5 The Value of MoneyListening and SpeakingRecently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act. The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early Last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100, 000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.When interviewed by the local paper yesterday, Chen said, “I would have felt bad if I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly.”While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen s daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen’s family, Ma was well aware of Chen’s difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills.Chen Liyan’s example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. And that’s a great attitude to take.Now. in other news, onc city in. ［Fade out.］Viewing and TalkingOwner: That one’s reserved. This way please. ［to a waiter］Take this gentleman’s order，Horace.Henry：Can I have some ham and eggs, and a nice big juicy steak with all the trimmings? And make it extra thick. Horace: It’d cost a tidy bit.Henry: That’s understood. And a long, cool tankard of ale. ［After finishing what he ordered］Uh, waiter. Same thing again, please.Horace: Again?Henry: That’s right. And fill that up. Anything wrong?Horace: No. No, sir. ［He goes to the owner］He’s asked for another portion. Ale and all.Owner: You think he can pay?Maggie: We’ll have to chance it.Owner: Serve him, Horace. But don't spare the gristle!Horace: Ham, eggs, steak, potatoes, beans, carrots, twice, trifle, cheese, coffee, two quarts of ale… three and ten pence.Henry: Thank you. Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?Horace: What's there to wait for?Owner: Alright, Horace.Henry:That was a wonderful meal. You know, uh, it's amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple things if you have to get along without them for a while.Owner:Very interesting. And now perhaps if you’d pay the bill I could attend to the other customers.Henry: That clock of yours, is it correct?Owner: I f anything, it's fastHenry: ［To himself］Oh, it's fast. ［To owner/］How fast?Old man: Two minutes.Henry: Oh, thank you.Owner: Now I don’t wish to be unpleasant, but would you please settle the bill?Henry: I want to, but you see …Owner: The bill, pleaseHenry: Yes, I know. The bill.owner: ExactlyHenry: Well, I don’t suppose a couple of minutes will make any difference. ［After opening the envelope.］I, I'm awfully sorry but ... I don’t have anything smaller.Owner: ［After getting the bank note from Henry.］Well,uh, uh, just one moment. ［He shows the note to his wife］Maggie, look!Maggie: Ah!Owner: Do you think It's real?Maggie: Ask Mr. Clemens.Owner: Mr. Clemens, Mr. Clemens!Mr. Clemens: What is it?Owner: Would you mind just looking at this? Do you think it's genuine?Mr. Clemens: Two notes of this denomination have been issued. But in any case, it's hardly likely to be a forgery. Maggie: Why not?Mr. Clemens: It would draw too much attention to the owner. No forger would want that.Maggie: But look at the owner, Mr. Clemens, He’s in rags.Mr. Clemens: I can only assume he’s an eccentric millionaire.owner: An eccentric millionaire!。

高中英语人教版必修三听力原文对照Unit 1 Festivals around the world-ReadingFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSFestivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today's festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or event s.Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with "bones" on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old belie fs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children's festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours' homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan.In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival ofChristopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India's independence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European ountries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win award s for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy mooncakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customsand forget our work for a little while.Unit 2 Healthy eating-ReadingCOME AND EAT HERE (1)Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs,roast pork, stir-f lie d vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin a gain!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than agood meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhapswith a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note-ReadingTHE MILLION POUND BANK NOTEAct I, Scene 3NARRATOR: It is the summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliver be lie ves that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubt s it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do. RODERICK: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?HENRY: Who? Me, sir?RODERICK: Yes, you.OLIVER: Through the front door on your left.HENRY: (A servant opens a door) Thanks.SERVANT: Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir.OLIVER: (Henry enters) Thank you, James. That will be all.RODERICK: How do you do, Mr ... er ...?HENRY: Adams. Henry Adams.OLIVER: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.HENRY: Thank you.RODERICK: You're an American?HENRY: That's right, from San Francisco.RODERICK: How well do you know London?HENRY: Not at all, it's my first trip here.RODERICK: I wonder, Mr Adams, if you'd mind us asking a few questions.HENRY: Not at all. Go right ahead.RODERICK: May we ask what you're doing in this country and what your plans are? HENRY: Well, I can't say that I have any plans. I'm hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident.OLIVER: How is that possible?HENRY: Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing out of the bay ... (his eyes stare at what is left of the brother's dinner on table)OLIVER: Well, go on.HENRY: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. It was all my fault. I didn't know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning I'd just about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship.OLIVER: And it was the ship that brought you to England.HENRY: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ... (The brothers smile at each other.)RODERICK: Well, you mustn't worry about that. It's an advantage.HENRY: I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.RODERICK: T ell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America?HENRY: I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me some kind of work here?RODERICK: Patience, Mr Adams. If you don't mind, may I ask you how much money you have? HENRY: Well, to be honest, I have none.OLIVER: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together) HENRY: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don't think it's very funny. (Henry stands up to leave) Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll be on my way.RODERICK: Please don't go, Mr Adams~ You mustn't think we don't care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.OLIVER: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift) The letter.HENRY: (taking it carefully) For me?RODERICK: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustn't open it. Not yet. You can't open it until two o'clock.HENRY: Oh, this is silly.RODERICK: Not silly. There's money in it. (calls to the servant) James?HENRY: Oh, no. I don't want your charity. I just want an honest job. RODERICK: We know you're hard-working. That's why we've given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out.OLIVER: Good luck, Mr Adams.HENRY: Well, why don't you explain what this is all about?RODERICK: You'll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly an hour and a half. SERVANT: This way, sir.RODERICK: Mr Adams, not until 2 o'clock. Promise?HENRY: Promise. Goodbye.Unit 4 Astronomy: the science of the stars-ReadingHOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTHNo one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a "Big Bang" that threw matter in all directions.After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.For several billion years after the "Big Bang", the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago whenthe dust settle d into a solid globe. The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were intime to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth's atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists be lie ve is that the continuedpresence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young enerally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However,65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared stillremains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which pr event s heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.Unit 5 Canada - The True North-ReadingA TRIP ON "THE TRUE NORTH"Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train west to east across Canada. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting.Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch "The True North", the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip. "You're going to see some great scenery. Going eastward, you'll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you're in Canada's warmest part. People say it is Canada's most beautiful city, surrounded by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canada's most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres."That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settle d down in their seats. Ear lie r that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars inprizes.After two days' travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometresof the USA border, and Canada's population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. In fact, it has one-third of the world's total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.That night as they slept, the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.。
