I mean, it’s a lot of money.Robert:Well, Mike, as you know, property values have been going through the roof.

Sounds like a good time to buy.1. a banker a loan2.saving save spend3. a mortgage property4.Property values5.risen/gone up/increased by 30 percentTask 2: Can I have my change please?Tom was down on his luck and felt he needed a few drinks. Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What’s the solution to a recession, a time of little economic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s see if this will work by using an example.Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let’s also pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what’ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthlyallowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin:That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John:I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.John:But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I’m trying to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of people who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences.Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.Se-Jin: What’s up, John?John:Se-Jin, I’m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.John:You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short. Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John:The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency. John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.V. Let’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in thecasket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promise him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”1.more than2.money casket3.promise4.in the casket5.sitting black6.next to/beside7.close8. a box9.away/off10.foolish all that money/the money11.a Christian on her word12.put the money13.a checkVI.

At noon, when the lunch bell rings, two thousand men and women immediately stop working and leave the building.“Your workers, they’re escaping!” cries the visitor. “You’ve got to stop them.”“Don’t worry, they’ll be back,” says the American. And indeed, an exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer turn s to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “How much do you want for that bell?”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. Many American don’t like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use.Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.1.D2.C3.B4.C5.A。

Do you like wildlife?W1: Well, I am, er, an animal lover. Er, I’m a vegetarian as well.W4: I like wildlife and animals. Er, since I was a little girl, I’ve always really liked foxes for some reason.

Now, did you know there are more than six billion people on the planet, and by 2050 there might be more than nine billion? People are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, but a big population means big problems for the planet.Part 2Let’s look at three of the most important problems. The first problem is water. Many people in the world can’t get enough water. But in some countries we use too much. A person in Gambia, Africa, for example, uses much less water than someone in the United States. In Gambia, one person uses four and a half liters of water a day. But in the US it’s 600 liters. And to make the problem worse, the deserts are gettingbigger. The Sahara Desert is one of the hottest places in the world, and is already the largest desert. But each year it gets bigger than before, so it gets more difficult to find clean water. Our second problem is the animals. There are more people on the earth than ever before. This means we use more space. And for the animals this means that there is less space than before. One example is the Amazon Rainforest. It has the highest number of plant and animal species in the world, but it’s getting smaller every year. People are destroying the rainforest to make more space for houses, roads and farms. In the last 10 years we have destroyed more than 150,000 square kilometers of forest –that’s an area larger than Greece! So in the future, many plants and animal species will become extinct. And the last problem on our list, but not the least important, is the weather. The world is getting warmer. The ice in Greenland is melting faster than ever before. Also sea levels are rising. This means that soon some of the world’s most important cities, like New York, London, Bangkok, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro might all be under water.ViewingScriptsJL = Joanna Lumley; T = Tura; KS = Kjetil SkoglieJL: The far north. Fairytale mountains. It’s just fabulously beautiful. The land of the magical Northern Lights is somewhere I’ve longed for all my life. As a little girl I lived in the steamy heat of tropical Malaysia. I used to yearn to be cold. I’d never even seen snow. But my storybooks were full of snow queens, and now I’m enteringthat world. This is the journey I’ve always dreamt of making. I feel I’ve come into another world now. No people except you and us. And if we’re very lucky we might see the elusive Northern Lights. I pack up things that are going to be essential on every trip. So in here I’ve got, for instance, oil-based pastels; and I’ve got a lovely little drawing book, but I’ve got that colored pages so that you can draw in different colors; a lovely old guidebook –it’s called The Land of the Vikings. It’s got beautiful old maps. Look at that. But if it wasn’t for one item in my case, I wouldn’t be on this journey at all. This is the book: Ponny the Penguin. This is when I first heard of the Northern Lights. And there was this picture which haunted me of a sort of rippling curtain and a little tiny penguin. This is not your average taxi rank at the station. I’m in the hands of Tura Christiansen and his team of 11 sled dogs. Good morning. I’m Joanna.T: Tura.JL: Tura. How nice to see you, Tura.T: Yes.JL: These are wonderful dogs.T: They like to … to, er …JL: They like to run?T: Yes.JL: The weather near Troms? is uncertain. But local guide, Kjetil Skoglie, promises me we’ll track down the lights even if it takes till morning. I can’t see anything, Kjetil.KS: No, it’s … it’s nothing yet. You just have to be patient.JL: OK, so I just wait here.KS: Yeah, you just wait here.JL: Yeah.KS: Good luck.JL: Thanks, Kjetil. I stand in the pitch-black by the side of the fjord, and wait. Look, much brighter there. Oh, something’s happening there. Oh … Look up here! Look what’s happening here! Look at that! Oh … Oh!Look at this! And it just keeps changing and changing. I can’t believe I’m seeing this. It’s fantastic and it’s coming back again. I have been waiting all my life to see the Northern Lights. I’m as happy as can be. This is the most astonishing thing I have ever, ever seen.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsPart 1A: The best sense of direction? Perhaps it’s the butterfly.B: Er … I’m not sure.A: It’s hard to say. Well, it could be sea turtles.B: Maybe.A: They swim everywhere, don’t they?B: Um, i t might be, but I think it’s the butterfly.It can’t be the taxi driver, can it?A: It’s definitely not the taxi driver.C: OK, here are the answers. Sea turtles travel 3,000 miles a year. And when they lay eggs, they go back to the place where they were born. So they have a great sense of direction. New York taxi drivers drive 37,500 miles a year. They know the fastest way to any address in New York. But sea turtles and taxi drivers do not have the best sense of direction!B: So it must be the butterfly.C: The winner is the monarch butterfly. At the end of every summer, they fly from Canada to Mexico. And no one knows how they do it.Part 2A: Er, so who’s the best athlete? That’s a good question.B: I’m not sure.A: It could be triathletes.B: Or rats?C: Rats are the winners. A rat is the superman of animals. Rats can kill animals that are much bigger than they are, and they can eat electric wires. They can swim a mile and survive in water for 3 days. They can also jump 3 feet and fall 45 feet and survive.A: That’s amazing.Part 3B: Who sleeps the most? Let me think. Um, it can’t be the human baby, can it? And it’s not the black bear.A: It must be the sloth. They spend most of their lives asleep.B: So what’s the answer?C: Well, the black bear sleeps for about 7 months a year. The females are even half asleep when they have their babies.B: Wow.C: Human babies usually sleep about 18 hours a day, but only in their first few months. So sloths are the winner. They sleep 15 to 18 hours a day for their whole life.Group discussionScriptsA: OK, the most beautiful place I’ve been to … Well, a few years ago I went to Fish River Canyon.B: Where?A: Fish River Canyon. It’s the second biggest canyon in the world.B: After the Grand Canyon?A: After the Grand Canyon.B: Where is it?A: It’s in Namibia, in Africa.B: Wow. And what did you think of it?A: Ah, it was amazing! The first thing you notice is how big it is, of course.B: Of course.A: It just goes on and on as far as your eye can see. But the best thing about it was thesilence.B: Right.A: It was so amazingly quiet. We went there in August and there weren’t many tourists and it was just so quiet.B: Would you like to go back?A: I would love to go back. One day!B: One day.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: We offer some very exciting tours plus the best luxury hotels. The most popular places are Thailand and India. Have you got any idea of where you’d like to go?M: Well, we were thinking of flying to a small island where we can enjoy some special local food.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?Conversation 2M: Have you ever tried diving in the sea? No words can describe the beauty of the sea. You lose track of time down there!W: No, I’m kind of frightened. I mean I hear all these stories about getting sick from going up too fast to the surface and dangerous fish.Q: What makes the woman scared of diving?Conversation 3W: Many people are concerned about the rising costs of fuel.M: I think they are a little short-sighted; they should look on the bright side. With higher costs, people will be forced to use less energy. We can thus save more energy, which is good for the environment.Q: What does the man think of the rise of fuel costs?Conversation 4M: I’ve never been to the mountains before. I’m not much of an adventurer, you know.W: Well, join us. It’s great spending some time with friends and just being close to nature. And when you come back, you’ll be a new person, relaxed and ready to study again.Q: According to the woman, what can the man benefit from going to the mountains? Conversation 5M: Look! The sun is shining. We haven’t seen the sun for ages. It’s been raining for a week! It’s much too beautiful a day to waste indoors reading, cooking or cleaning. W: You are right. Let’s make the most of it.Q: What are the man and woman probably going to do?Long conversationScriptsW: I just saw a great movie about the true story of Christopher McCandless’ trip to the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. It was so inspiring! His love of nature was so beautiful.M: Well, I read about his story. He was foolish and just threw his life away!W: Why would you say that? It’s a shame that he died, but at least he lived doing what he loved. Can you imagine living in Alaska alone, eating only the plants you can gather and the animals you can hunt?M: No, that’s just it! He died in the wilderness because he thought nature was magical and kind. He needed to realize that nature is powerful and full of risks! Christopher was completely unprepared for the many dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.W: Like what? He found shelter and he had a gun to hunt!M: He did not use his map of the area – there was a boat where he could get help only a quarter of a mile away! H e didn’t have any emergency food supplies! Most of all, he had no emergency communication equipment. Any one of those three things would have saved his life!W: Yes, he should have been more prepared, but I still admire what he was trying to do.M: It’s no t romantic! Five famous outdoor specialists were interviewed. They all said he should have lived. He died because he was unprepared!W: Still, I admire his spirit for trying!Q1: What are the man and woman talking about?Q2: What can we learn about Christopher?Q3: What does the woman think about Christopher taking the trip to Alaska?Q4: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something that would have saved Christopher’s life?Passage 1ScriptsWithin five seconds of taking off, an avalanche can move at 80 miles an hour, so people rarely have time to run out of the way. But these days, avalanches don’t often strike skiers at official skiing zones because the ski patrol makes sure the skiing areas are safe.An avalanche occurs when one entire area or layer of snow slides off another layer below it. When a layer starts to slide, anything on top is carried along, and the avalanche picks up whatever lies in its path as it moves down a slope, including rocks, trees and people. When a person starts to travel across an area of unstable snow, their weight can start a slide.As long as skiers stay in the official ski areas, they don’t have to worry. “We control the hazard, so it is unlikely you’ll get caught,” explains Mike, a snow safety expert. “We do that by p ressing the snow together to make it more solid, and we use explosives to make an avalanche move or to test an area to see if it is unstable.” This work can be dangerous, so ski patrol members look out for each other and keep the public at a safe distance.Mike and his colleagues also dig holes in the snow to study the layers. After they go back, they enter measurements into a computer; a special software creates a chart showing how the different layers are holding up. If an area looks risky, the ski patrol closes it.Q1: What speed can an avalanche reach within five seconds of taking off?Q2: According to the passage, under what circumstances may an avalanche occur?Q3: What are skiers advised to do to avoid being caught in an avalanche?Q4: Why does the ski patrol use explosives?Passage 2Scripts and answersAnna was awarded a special day out for herself and her family after taking part in a competition run by a magazine in April, beating over 2,000 people who 1) participated in the event.Anna’s wild day out will include a special tour of the city’s nature park, with exclusive 2) access to areas of the site that are not usually available to the public. During her visit, Anna is likely to see some natural wonders including rare birds feeding their young and a 3) tremendous number of newly hatched chicks. Anna may also see a great flamingo 4) currently nesting at the nature park after it escaped from the zoo last year.The most 5) incredible thing is that Mike Dilger, a well-known wildlife reporter for BBC, will 6) accompany the family throughout the day. Mike is an experiencedbiologist, so he is ready to share his experiences and knowledge of the natural world every step of the way.Henry, manager of the nature park, says, “Visiting a nature park is a 7) remarkable way to learn more about types of wildlife that you just can’t see in your daily life. It’s an 8) amazing time of year for a visit –the hatching season is well underway, so there are lots of chicks hatching across the park, and as parents take regular trips to find food for their young, there is a very good chance of 9) catching a glimpse of some of our very rare birds. Anna will have a great day; we are really 10) looking forward to her visit.”。

Servicemen and women from all the armed services in Australia march in procession. They fought in the Second World War and other conflicts since then that have happened around the world. The men in the trucks are all wearing decorations. They're veterans from the Second World War; and perhaps a few last survivors from the First World War. After the Parade the veterans will gather in a pub or club to talk and share memories. This veteran fought in the Second World War in Western Australia.Interviewer And what does Anzac Day mean to youVeteran Well; it means remembering not only those who didn't go home but the; the fact that you keep in touch with a lot of your ... friends.Unit 7-Listening inNews reportUS universities are experiencing a steady increase in the enrolment of student veterans with many troops returning home from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than one million student veterans are using their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to earn a university degree or certificate.The Post-9/11 GI Bill is an education benefit programme for individuals who served on active duty after 10 September; 2001. the scholarship covers study-related expenses including tuition; fees; books and housing. Veterans can use the GI Bill at colleges; universities; trade schools and flight schools.Student veterans returning from war are typically older than the average student. Some have difficulty adjusting to the stress and demands of university life. Some also experience frustration with other students who don’t understand their past experiences.It is important for universities to provide veterans with the resources and support they need to succeed; and to help with the transition to university life.1.What is the news report mainly about2.To whom does the Post-9/11 GI Bill provide supportPassage 1There are many war novels but the novel I'm going to talk about today is unusual because it's war seen through the eyes of a child. The "eyes" are those of JG Ballard; one of Britain's most respected novelists.Let's begin with some information about Ballard. He was born in 1930; in Shanghai; where his father was a businessman; and he was only 11 years old when the city was occupied during World War II. Ballard and his family were placed in a prison camp and he has said that his experiences there affected him so deeply that it was 40 yearsbefore he felt able to write about them. "Twenty years to forget and 20 years to remember."The result of Ballard's experiences was a semi-autobiographical novel called Empire of the Sun; published in 1984. It quickly became a success and in 1987 it was made into a movie by Hollywood director; Steven Spielberg.Let's move on to the novel itself. Empire of the Sun tells the story of how a young boy; Jim Graham; survives the Japanese occupation. Interestingly; Jim is J G Ballard's first name and his second name is Graham. Also; Jim is the same age as Ballard - 11 -when the occupation begins.At the start of the story; Jim is living with his parents in a wealthy part of Shanghai. When the invasion begins; many of Shanghai's inhabitants flee from the city and Jim's parents do the same. But the boy becomes separated from them and finds himself all alone. He goes back to their empty home and lives alone there. Inevitably; he's found and then he's sent to a prison camp.It's a terrible four years; but the boy somehow survives. He steals food; finds ways of getting in and out of the camp; and is befriended by some Americans and a Japanese boy.Is there a happy ending Yes and no. Jim sees many people die; his Japanese friend is killed by the Americans. Butat the end of the war; he gets back to Shanghai and is reunited with his parents.Jim's experiences are terrible; as a child who discovers the depths of human cruelty. But he learns also about the strength and courage that is possible; even in these circumstances.Both the great power and the truthof the novel come from the fact thatit's based on the author's own experiences. The general opinion ofcritics is that Empire of the Sun is one of the best war novels ever written - so read it; it's worth it.Passage 2Host On Women's World; today; we lookat women's role in the Second World War and the important part they played in it. In the First World War; women had workedin factories and as nurses; both at home and at the front. In the Second World War; women were even more essential to the war effort. Doris Watts was just 18 when the war began and Mavis Grey was only 20.Host Do you remember how you felt;Doris; the day thewar was declaredDoris Oh yes ... of course I do. I felt frightened of course;but we had known it would happen. The first thing; more thananything I think; that I felt was ...was that I wanted to dosomething You know; do something useful;so I joined theLand Girls.Host Ah; yes; the Women's Land Army.That was anorganization started in the First World War. Women worked inagriculture as the men were awayfighting. Did you enjoy the experienceDoris Not really. It was very hard work; very physical. You never saw anybody except the officer coming to inspect your work. So when I heard about the WAAF I signed up.Host That's the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. WAAF; forshort. So why the WAAFDoris I'd always thought planes were very exciting. Andit's silly but I liked the light blue uniforms.Host That's a good enough reason Now; Mavis; you were in the WAAF at the same time as Doris. Can you tell us more about itMavis Yes. Organizations like the WAAF were a way for women to join the armed forces; since they weren't allowed to fight. Instead; the army; the navy and the air force all had support services; which women could join.Host And Doris. What kind of things did you have to doDoris Oh; well; a lot of different things. I worked in transport and catering. We were very young but we were given a lot of responsibility.Host And what did you do; MavisMavis Various jobs but eventually I worked on a fighter station; trackingthe German bombers as they flew towards London. It was very exciting.Host Was it ever dangerousDoris Yes; we were always in danger of being bombed. They tell me that over1;500 young women lost their lives. I was lucky.Host And what about social lifeMavis We did have some wonderful parties. And of course I met my husband; Eric. He was an electrician at the station.Host One last question; Doris. Do you think women's work in the forces changed things for womenDoris Without a doubt. Oh absolutely After the war the position of women could never be the same again - we'd contributed so much.Host Doris and Mavis; thank you both.。

Unit 1 Starting outListening inPassage 1Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right? Professor That's right, yes.Interviewer Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor In total there are eight institutions: There's Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer Ah, OK. And what's the sporting ... I believe there's some link with sports.Professor There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn't possible to be bothworld-famous for research and also top class in sport.Interviewer And what about their academic importance? I gather they're academically very, very important, they're very well-known.Professor Absolutely at the top. They're near or at the top of the USA colleges and university rankings. And they're almost always in the top one per cent of the world's academic institutions for financial resources. Interviewer And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?Professor Certainly if you've been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of the scale. The Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon, protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.Interviewer And do you know ... why's it called the Ivy League, what's the origin of the name?Professor There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it's based on four universities, and IV, the letters IV, that's the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s. Interviewer Right, OK. And which is the oldest university?Professor The oldest goes back to the 17th century, that's Harvard which was founded in 1636. And the youngest of the institutions is Cornell which was founded in 1865.Interviewer And which has the largest number of undergraduates?Professor Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.Interviewer And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?Professor That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.Interviewer And any famous alumni? Famous old boys?Professor Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over the world would certainly be George Bush who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who was at Harvard.Interviewer Thank you.Passage2Andy Did you see the film on television last night?Jane No, I was out. What was it?Andy A Beautiful Mind. It's about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane I've heard about that film, yes. He's played by Russell Crowe, isn't he? I like Russell Crowe, he's great. Andy That's the one, yes.Jane What's it about?Andy Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash's life at Princeton University as a graduate student.Jane That's one of the Ivy League schools, isn't it?Andy Yes, it's all set in New England, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. It's lovely to look at.Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he's looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.Jane So he's not interested in having fun?Andy Well, yes, but he's not very good with people or successful with women, that's all. But, you know, it's one of these bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.Jane No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?Andy That's about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.Jane Ah! At last, the love interest!Andy Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he's been asked to work by William Parcher for the US Department of Defense on breaking Soviet codes. At one point he's chased by the Russians, and it's after this that he becomes mentally ill.Jane I think I've seen this in the trailer to the film.Andy So when he's put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He's given this painful treatment which affects his relationship with his wife. And his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine.Jane It sounds quite hard to watch.Andy Well, it is, but it's well acted and directed, and so, you know, there's a-bit of distance between the audience and what's happening on film.Jane So what happens next?Andy Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated, because we're no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash's mind.Jane That sounds awful. He must have been so ill,Andy Actually, I'm kind of giving away the twist in the story. Anyway, later in his life, while he's using the library at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again. And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.Jane Well, it sounds like a great film.Andy Yes, you should see it sometime.Unit 7 Family affairsListening inPassage 1Host There's a question that's been argued about for a long time. Which is more important, your family environment or your genes? Well, a story has come up in the news about identical twins, separated at birth.They've just been reunited - and guess what - there are some amazing coincidences in their life stories.Here's the story - two American girls called Tamara and Adriana were separated at birth and adopted by two different sets of parents. And this is where the coincidences begin. Both families ended up living 25 miles apart. Both girls decided to study psychology at universities that are only a mile apart from each other. Isn't that strange?And this girl, who's a friend of both of them, insists they meet. Just before they meet, Adriana's mother tells her that she has a twin sister. Can you imagine how that must feel when you're 20 years old to learn you havea twin? And when the girls meet, it's like looking in a mirror - they're identical! Now get this! Both Tamaraand Adriana's adoptive fathers died when the girls were children. Both girls fell through glass doors at the age of five - that's hard to believe, isn't it? Their boyfriends look alike and have similar names - Alex and Adam.And this is the best part - both of them have the same recurring dream. Isn't that incredible - they have the same dream!I think it's an amazing story. So, for all those of you out there who have comments, and I'm sure you do, thelines are open. OK, we've got Josh on the line. Hi Josh!Josh Hi.Host So, what do you make of this story?Josh It's a great story but it doesn't surprise me at all. I'm an identical twin.Host You are?Josh Yeah, my brother's called Toby, and we're 22, and we're going out with two sisters ... and we're having a double wedding next June.Host Congratulations! So-what do you think-is it our genes that decide who we are? These kind of stories seem to suggest it.Josh Well, I'm not a scientist, but I think so.Host Research tells us that it's about fifty-fifty.Josh I, I disagree.Host Thanks Josh. OK, our next caller is ...Passage 2Part 1Voice-over Kidney transplants are of two kinds -transplants from dead people and living transplants, transplants from people who are alive. Mostly the donor, the person who gives the kidney, is a relative - a parent, brother or sister. We all recognize that it's one of the most selfless things a person can do, to give a kidney to someone, but as the operation becomes safer and safer, more and more people are doing it. We talked to two sisters who have had the experience -Henrietta Longmore, a journalist aged 40, married with one son, and her sister, Teresa Parker, aged 38, married with two children. They come from a family with four children. Here's their story.Teresa Henrietta and I were close as children. She was the big sister and she was -just like a mother to us younger kids. Our parents were both doctors and our mum was very busy.We were close right through our teenage years. And then we shared a flat and had a lot of the same friends. It was great.Henrietta Yes, we've always been close. I felt very protective of my brother and sisters because, like Teresa says, our parents were always so busy. But I also felt a bit jealous of Teresa - she was my dad's favourite -but it didn't affect our relationship.Teresa Henrietta got kidney failure five years ago, but for several years she was fine and seemed quite healthy.Henrietta Yes, I never thought of asking my family for a kidney. The hospital was brilliant and I really did feel fine, most of the time.Part 2Teresa But then a year ago she became very ill and almost died. I was terrified. I knew if she died, I'd blame myself. You know, why I hadn't done more to help her. So I decided to find out more about giving her a kidney.Henrietta Yes, I did almost die. It was awful. I, I was never going to ask Teresa for a kidney but I kind of knew that she would offer. To be honest, I felt I would have done the same.Teresa Yes. At first I was a bit scared. But we went for a three-hour talk at the hospital and it was very reassuring.My whole family came. And they felt OK about it too, which was very important.Henrietta People don't know that you only need ten per cent of one kidney to be completely healthy, and kidney donors often live longer than other people.Teresa Yes, you have to be very healthy to give a kidney. The hospital makes sure of that. Anyway, after the operation I got better very fast - probably because you know you've done something worthwhile and it does make you feel very good.Henrietta I can't describe how grateful I feel to Teresa. It's such an amazing thing to do. What can I say? Her courage was, was extraordinary. She just didn't seem afraid at all.Teresa You do get a lot of praise for doing something like this. I'd like to do something that no one knows about. Unit 9 Body and mindListening inPassage 1In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy's Hospital. After that, the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next 40 years had a brilliant career as an army medical officer, working in many far off countries and fighting successfully for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable by the discovery upon his death that James Barry had kept an extraordinary secret.Barry was a pleasant and good-humoured person with high cheek bones, red hair, a long nose and large eyes. He was well-liked by his patients and had a reputation for great speed at surgery — an important quality at a time when operations were performed without anaesthetic. He was also quick-tempered. When he was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible conditions often made him very angry. He fought hard against injustice and cruelty and his temper sometimes got him into trouble with the authorities. After a long career overseas he returned to London where he died in 1865.So was this the end of the story? Not quite. When they were preparing his body for his funeral, they discovered James Barry's secret. HE was in fact a SHE. James Barry was a woman.No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true that throughout her life people had remarked on her small size, slight build and smooth pale face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he couldn't believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man.So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time, a woman couldn't study medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wanted to do these things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth one day, but didn't because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. By the time it was discovered that she was the first woman in Britain to have qualified as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do anything about it.Passage 2Speaker 1Interviewer Tell me about medical care in Britain. What happens when you need to go to the doctor?Speaker 1 Well, first of all, you need to register with your local doctor. And, then of course, if you need to see him or her, you have to phone in and make an appointment which can be two or three days later. But, of course, if you have an accident and it's more urgent, you go to a department called the Accident and Emergency Department, which is usually in a hospital. And, if it's really urgent, someone will call a number, which is 999 here in Britain and you, er, get an ambulance.Interviewer What about getting medicine? Do you get it from the doctor or do you get it from the chemist? Speaker 1 Well, you actually get the medicine itself from the chemist but the doctor has to prescribe the medicine first. So, you then take the prescription to the chemist's and the chemist then gives you your medicine. The medicine isn't actually at the doctor's surgery.Interviewer Right. Right. What happens about paying for medical care? How do you pay for medical treatment? Speaker 1 Ah, yea. You don't pay the doctor. The payment is covered by taxes or medical agreements between the UK and your country. But you pay a fixed charge for the medicine.Interviewer Right.Speaker 1 That you're prescribed.Interviewer I see, yes. And what happens if... you know, I hope it never happens. What happens if you, you stayin hospital?Speaker 1 Well, if you are seriously ill, you will stay in hospital and your family and friends can visit and come and see how you are but they don't usually stay actually overnight with you. And they don't need to bring you food or anything. Or look after you. I mean everything is done for you in the hospital, really.Interviewer I see. I see.Speaker 2Interviewer Tell me about medical care in the States. What do you do when you need to go to a doctor? Speaker 2 OK, well, when you arrive, you choose your doctor. And, it doesn't have to be you know, exactly where you're staying -just anywhere that is convenient for you.Interviewer Uh-huh. And do you get these tests and treatment at the doctor's surgery?Speaker 2 You do indeed. The doctor will do a lot of tests on you. It's very high-tech care. They have to consider every possibility that could occur with any illness.Interviewer I see. Yeah.Speaker 2 On the other hand, if it's an emergency, if you have an accident, you call 911 and an ambulance will come and take you to your nearest hospital.Interviewer And what about getting medicine? Do you get the medicine at the doctor's or ...?Speaker 2 Yeah, you do. The doctor writes all the prescriptions for you and then you take it to the pharmacy to pick it up. And you will pay the full price for every bit of medicine that you get...Interviewer I see. So, it's quite expensive.Speaker 2 Yes, it certainly is.Interviewer I mean, how do you pay for it?Speaker 2 Well, that is a problem for some people. I mean, we do not have a national health plan here in the USA.So, you really do have to have medical insurance. You see, you know, you can be refused admission to a hospital if you don't have insurance. It's an absolute nightmare. And then you have to pay for absolutely everything. You pay for your x-rays, for your medicine, for your tests; you know for the care, for everything.And, of course, well you do get it back from your insurance company.Interviewer If you pay an insurance premium ...Speaker 2 Well, that is the thing. You absolutely -it's compulsory - you have to have it.Interviewer Right. And what about staying in hospital? What are American hospitals like?Speaker 2Well, they're very good. They're very quiet and calm. Sick people need to rest and they do not encourage large groups of people. They keep visiting hours very short.Interviewer I see. OK. Thank you.Speaker 2 You're welcome.。

Is Emma Phillips on his listTask 3【答案】A.read, drew, made, drank, had, flew, went, see, rememberB.1) a, 2) c, 3) b【原文】How much do you remember of the time when you were a child You got up early every morning and went to school. You read books at school. You drew pictures andmade things out of clay. You drank milk every day and ate things that were good for you. Perhaps you had plaits. Perhaps you flew a kite. Perhaps you went abroad for your holidays. You can see photographs of yourself in the family album. They help you to remember the distant past.I remember the Christmas holidays best. It was always cold. The days were very short. The nights were long and dark. It wasn’t a good time of the y ear — except for one thing. I always received presents at Christmas. I can remember the bright lights in the streets. I can remember the big shops and the crowds. My mother always took me to London to see the lights. And she always took me to one of the big shops to meet Father Christmas. This was a special event every year. I always met Father Christmas in a big shop. I always asked for lots of presents and he always brought them for me.Two weeks before Christmas one year, I went to London with my mother. I was five years old at the time. I shall never forget the day. It was cold and dark. But the shop windows were very bright. The streets were full of people. There were crowds in the streets and crowds in the shops. My mother held my hand tightly and we both went into a big shop.It was warm and bright in the shop. We both went upstairs to the toy department. The toy department was full of children. There were lovely toys everywhere: cars, bicycles and planes. Then I saw my old friend at one end of the department store: Father Christmas himself! I pulled my mother by the hand. “Please take me to Father Christmas,” I said. There were lots of chi ldren near Father Christmas. They were standing in a line. Father Christmas spoke to every one of them. At last it was my turn.“Hello, little boy,” he said to me. “Where do you live”“Don’t you know” I answered. “You came last year.”I can’t remember what Father Christmas answered. But I remember one thing.I was very sad. Father Christmas hadn’t remembered my name. He called me “little boy”. And he hadn’t remembered my address. I got my presents that year, as usual, but it wasn’t the same. Something had changed.Task 4【答案】A. past, future, memories, hopes, fearsB. b【原文】In late October in the northern half of the world, the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer. It is colder and darker. There is mist and fog, and cold winds blow. The leaves fall from the trees, and their black skeletons stand out against the autumn sky. The year is ending and everything is dying. Winter is coming, with its long dark nights. People stay at home in the evenings and at weekends. Old people remember the past and young people think of the future. It is a time of memories, of hopes and fears. It is the time of Halloween.Halloween marks the end of autumn and the start of winter. In the past this festival was a time of fear. People believed in ghosts and witches and they stayed indoors.

You could get very sick from it. But beer was safe because it has alcohol in it, and alcohol kills germs. So, that’s what people drank every day.But their beer was not like the beer today. The women made it at home. There was very little alcohol in it, so you wouldn’t get drunk from drinking it with your food.People had beer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They thought it was good for you. Children started drinking it as soon as they were able to hold a cup in their hands.Who had to clean the dishesNobody! The Pilgrims didn’t clean their dishes with soap a nd water the way we do today. The women and girls just rinsed the pottery bowls, wooden platters, cups, knives, and spoons and put them back on the shelf.Napkins were washed only once a month. You can imagine how dirty they got!

This is my favourite holiday tradition.My favourite traditional holiday is the Chinese New Year. I like it because my family goes to a Chinese temple in Los Angeles. It is very beautiful and exciting. We get to see Chinese dragons dance on the streets.On the night before Christmas, we go around our town and look at the Christmas decorations on all the houses.

At midnight on the last day of the old year, the bells in every Buddhist temple are struck one hundred and eight times. As the sound of the bells dies away, the New Year begins and Buddhists think about ways in which they can live better in the year to come.The theme of water, which is used in baptism to wash away the sins of the world, is also linked with a pre-Christian custom — the tradition of Well-dressing. At one time, the fear of summer drought led people to make offerings to the water spirits, who were thought to live in springs and wells. Decorating wells with flowers, shells, moss and other natural objects depicting a religious subject is an art passed on from father to son in English villages.Each year, on the fifth day of May, Japanese boys look forward to Kodomono-hi or Children’s Day.

英语听力教程第三版(张民伦主编)Unit 7 A Kaleidoscope of Culture听力原文
Unit 7 A Kaleidoscope of CulturePart I Getting readyMew York is one of the most important cities in the world. It is not only a center for business, but also a center for music and art. It has many famous buildings and places of interest. And it, too, has jot its nickname. What is itAudioscript：A：Are you ready for the trip to the museum in "the Big Apple" I can hardly wait.B："The Big Apple" What are you talking aboutA："The Big Apple" is the nickname for New York City. You are going to New York with us, aren't youB：Yes, I'm going. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Art. There's a special show of 20th centuryAmerican painters there. But, tell me, where did the nickname"the Big Apple" come fromA：The jazz musicians of the 1920s are responsible for the name.When they played a concert in a city, they called that city an apple.Of course New York was the biggest city in the country and best place for a jazz concert. So the musicians called it "The BigApple".B：Amazing! New York is such a fascinating place and it even has an interesting nickname, one that it's had for more than 50 years.Britain is famous for its pubs, where you can sample a pint of British beer, enjoy good-value bar meals and savor the friendly atmosphere. The pub boasts an excellent range of hot and cold bar snacks or a wide selection of home-cooked meals with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.Audioscript：There are visitors who come to England and leave thinking they have never been inside a pub. They don't realize that the words "pub" or "public house" are rarely included in the title of the place. So how do you know whether a building is a pub and what does a pub offer the visitorThe first thing to look for is a large sign either hanging over the street or placed on a pole outside the building. This sign may have a name like The Kings Arms, The Black Rabbit or The Duke ofKendal or an appropriate picture. Many pubs have names linked to royalty, popularheroes, sports or great occasions. There is a pub called The Concorde after the new airliner.On the doors of a pub you may see the words Saloon Bar or Public Bar. The Saloon Bar is more comfortably furnished. Occasionally the words Free House can be seen beside the name of the pub. This doesn't mean they serve free food and drink; it refers to the fact that the pub doesn't buy its drinks from one particular brewery only. It isn't a "tied house" -- tied to a brewery.The services a pub offers vary around the country. The basic service is the sale of alcoholic drink at certain times of the day. Opening times, as these periods are often called, are usually from 10.30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays. On Sundays the opening times are 12 noon until 2 p.m. and 7-10.30 p.m. although these times can vary slightly according to the region. Pubs can also offer food and accommodation. To help visitors, an experimental system of symbols has been tried out in Southern England and East Anglia. These symbols indicate just what is available from a particular pub.Part II Times squareTimes Square is in the heart of New York City. Every year, Times Square is the center of worldwide attention on New Year's Evebecause of the rooftop celebrations to usher in the New Year. Apart from that, there are some other things that make Times Square famous.Audioscript："Times Square is New York." Those are the words of the head of the Times Square Alliance, a coalition of area businesses. The millions of visitors to Times Square each year would probably agree. The area has one of the most recognizable names in the world. But, Times Square is not really a square. It is the name for the area around where Broadway crosses 42nd Street in Manhattan. The Times Square area stretches more than ten blocks north to south. The borders to the east and west are uneven. Some people call the shape of the area a bow tie.Times Square gets its name from The New York Times newspaper. In 1904, the newspaper began to build its headquarters in what was then called Long Acre Square. The city's underground train system built a stop under the Times Tower. The city renamed the area Times Square. On December 31st, 1904, the newspaper held a big celebration in Times Square to welcome the New Year. Fireworks lit the sky. Celebrations have taken place every year since then. Now, crowds also watch a big glass ball slide down a pole as the New Year arrives.Hundreds of businesses are in Times Square. The alliance says twenty percent of all hotel rooms in New York City are in Times Square. It says Times Square also has about six and one-half million square meters of office space. And more is being built.Times Square is home to famous Broadway theaters. And several television companies have studios there. MTV is one of them. Times Square is probably most famous for its huge colorful signs. The alliance says Times Square is the only place in New York where businesses are required to use them.Audioscript：It is another typical morning in Times Square: Taxi cabs blare their horns, 15 foot billboards look down over throngs of people hurrying by, and in the middle of it all, members of a smash Broadway musical climb up on a stage to dance and sing for the tourists.The entertainment is being organized by the Times Square Business Improvement District, the people responsible for making the area as welcoming to tourists as possible. Right now, the square is crowded and business is booming. So much so, in fact, that several sidewalks had to be widened recently to cope with the increase in visitors. Andsome New Yorkers are even pushing for the entire area to be off limits to traffic: modeling Times Square after a European plaza.It has not always been this way. Until a decade or so ago, Times Square had the well-deserved reputation of a seedy neighborhood teeming with prostitutes and drug dealers. A sizeable part of the area's economy came from stores selling pornography or cheap knock-off goods. The city government neglected the area, spending little of its tourism budget on improvements.But today, theaters, restaurants and upscale stores have replaced the sex shops. A thriving partnership between City Hall and private businesses, such as Disney Company, has revitalized Times Square.The current mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, has made it a priority to clean up the area. Crime rates have declined and visitors feel a lot safer on the square. Part of that effort has involved the Times Square Business Improvement District and its President, Brendan Sexton.Mr. Sexton and his colleagues are launching a new line of Times Square clothing and accessories which, they hope, will compete with everything else on offer to visitors to New York. Instead of just passing through Times Square and stopping only to take a picture of all theflashing lights and neon signs, Mr. Sexton hopes tourists will stop and shop, and bring a little piece of the revitalized Times Square home with them.Part III Americans love chocolate Chocolate is one of the most popular holiday gifts. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays. Chocolate bunnies and eggs are popular on Easter, chocolate coins on Hanukkah, snowmen and other holiday symbols on Christmas, and chocolate hearts or chocolate in heart-shaped boxes on Valentine's Day. Chocolate most commonly comes in dark, milk, and white varieties, with cocoa solids contributing to the brown color.Audioscript：Chocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie. But its roots run much deeper.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She isco-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C."I think it's one of the best comfort foods there is. It's easy to eat. It melts in your mouth. There's a warm sensation. "Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron's chocolates are made with the finest ingredients, right on the premises.Americans' love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country. Mark Sesler is senior vice president of marketing at Russell Stover Candies, one of the largest manufacturers of chocolate in the United States.According to Sesler, the industry got its start in the early 1900s with small-scale chocolatiers such as Steven Whitman, and Claire and Russell Stover. They started with small stores -- much like Kron -- but soon expanded their business into broader markets -- thanks, Sesler notes, to an important technological advance."It's the advent of refrigeration that has really made the availability of chocolate very prevalent throughout the United States. I think chocolate has secured its place as a delectable treat for a number of societies and a number of countries. So I think we're just one of many countries who enjoy the delicacy that is chocolate."Susan Fussell is spokesperson for the National Confectioner's Association, a trade group that represents virtually everyone who's involved in the production and sale of candy in the United States.And why does Fussell think chocolate is so universally popular"Well there's really nothing like chocolate ... One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at body temperature. So when you put chocolate in your mouth, it has a mouth feel that's unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your-mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food."Audioscript：Chocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie. But its roots run much deeper.Made from the seed of the tropical cacao tree, chocolate dates back at least 3 000 years to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, where the cacao tree is native. The Aztec people valued the tree's cocoa beans so much, they used them as currency.In what is now Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, new archaeological evidence shows that people were eating chocolate here more than 1 000 years ago.And they're still at it. Today, the average American eats almost 5 kilograms of chocolate each year.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She isco-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C."I think it's one of the best comfort foods there is. It's easy to eat. It melts in your mouth. There's a warm sensation. "Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron's chocolates are made with the finest ingredients, right on the premises.Americans' love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country.

So I think we're just one of many countries who enjoy the delicacy that is chocolate."Susan Fussell is spokesperson for the National Confectioner's Association, a trade group that represents virtually everyone who's involved in the production and sale of candy in the US.Fussell says that although the US is the largest total consumer of chocolate, it is not first in terms of per-capita consumption."In fact, we come in somewhere around No. 12, and that's because, of course, there are so many countries in Europe that have even more of an established culture around chocolate -- if you can imagine -- than we do in the United States."And why does Fussell think chocolate is so universally popular "Well there's really nothing like chocolate ... One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at bodytemperature. So when you put chocolate in your mouth, it has a mouth feel that's unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your-mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food."But that melt-in-your-mouth sensation comes at a price. Chocolate as we know it today is made with lots of sugar and milk, both very high in calories. That's given chocolate a rather bad reputation among nutritionists.In recent years, however, research has proved that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is also naturally rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants -- a fact that chocolate manufacturers like Russell Stover are happily promoting.But no matter the preference, Fussell says when it comes to holidays, chocolate is king, especially on Valentine's Day, every February 14th. That's a day when people all across the country express their love for one another with gifts, flowers, cards and -- more often than not -- chocolates."Valentine's Day itself, February 14th, is the single largest sales day during the year for sales of boxed chocolates."Part IV More about the topic:BullfightingSpain has become internationally known for its bullfighting, a tradition that spawns debate in many parts of the world and within Spain itself. Fans of bullfighting claim that it is a culturally important tradition, while animal rights activists argue that it is a blood sport due to the suffering of bulls involved.Audioscript：Bullfighting is seen as a symbol of Spanish culture.It traces its roots to prehistoric worshiping and sacrificing of bulls.A carpenter's assistant from the town of Ronda, Spain, Francisco Romero invented the "muleta," or red cape, used to lure the bull past the matador's body. Legend has it Romero rescued a young nobleman by using his flat-brimmed Andalusian hat to lure away an irate bull. Thus was born the modern bullfight. He was the founding father of a bullfighting dynasty, fundamental for bullfighting history. He was apparently the inventor of several characteristics that started to be used in a key period for bullfighting when the modern on foot system was defined, as the use of the cape and sword to kill the bull face to face. The bullfight, known in Spain as the "corrida," was first launched as an official spectacle sport in 1133. at the coronation of King Alfonso VIII,and steadily gained in popularity through the years of the Reconquest of Moorish Spain.A typical Spanish bullfight requires six bulls and three matadors, and is divided into three parts. If the matador has done exceptionally well, the audience will give a standing ovation and throw hats and roses into the arena. The matador will also receive one or two severed ears and the tail of the bull, depending on the quality of his performance. Bullfighting has always been controversial in Spain. Supporters of bullfighting regard it as a deeply ingrained, integral part of their national culture, but it is criticized by animal rights activists as a pointless and cruel blood sport.In fact, bullfighting is not just a Spanish tradition; Portugal, Latin America and a few cities in southern France also have a history of bullfighting.Audioscript：Over 1000 people have demonstrated in Madrid to go for an end to bullfighting in Spain. Though small, the protest comes amid renewed debate in the country about bullfighting, which many see as inhumane but others consider an integral part of Spanish culture.Carrying banners reading "Abolish bullfighting" and comments disparaging bullfighters, the coalition of animal rights activists and ecologists gathered in Madrid's central Puerta del Sol square. The Madrid regional government's decision to officially declare the sport part of Spain's cultural heritage has intensified opposition：Male protestor (voice of translator):"I feel very ashamed. I feel ashamed of being Spanish when I hear of these crimes, and people say this torture is culture. For me it is savage, more appropriate to other centuries."The centuries-old spectacle, whose ritual includes implanting barbed sticks into the bull before a matador kills it with a sword, draws thousands to the country's bullrings and, matadors receive celebrity media coverage. Many Spaniards reject accusations of cruelty: Madrid resident (in Spanish)This Madrid resident insists those who want to watch bullfighting should be allowed to continue doing so, as it is part of the nation's culture.But support for bullfighting varies across the country, with parliament in the autonomous Catalan region recently debating a possible ban, anda vote there on the issue is expected soon. In Spain's Canary Islands, the sport is already outlawed.Part V Do you know ...A name is a word or term used for identification. So a name can be given to a person, a place or a thing. But do names have meanings Many people tend to be unaware of the specific meaning of a name unless it happens to be their own name. Many names originally had meanings, but you can't assume that that meaning was intended in any given case.Audioscript：An American town called Boring has voted in favour of pairing with a village by the name of Dull in Scotland.This means the two of them will participate in joint activities, such as the promotion of tourism and cultural exchange. Boring decided in favour of the move after being approached by the residents of Dull. But what's in a name Is Boring really tiresome and is Dull tedious Are these places in themselves humdrum and insipid or is it just their names which suggest they are drabThe village of Dull consists of just one row of houses on the north side of a river valley, which means that it must be very peaceful but probably rather stale and monotonous for young people looking for exciting nightlife. It should also be said that the origin of the name Dull is from the Gaelic language, which was spoken in Scotland before the arrival of the English. Therefore it probably means "meadow" rather than mundane.Boring, on the other hand, was named after an early resident of the town, William H. Boring, though whether he was a wearisome fellow himself is not known. The town lies in the state of Oregon, about 30 kilometres from the city of Portland. Is it flat Not in a literal sense. Oregon is a mountainous state. And Boring's residents insist that the town is "The most exciting place to live". However, in comparison to Seattle, the biggest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Boring must be at least a little lifeless.However exciting the communities may or may not be, they are both planning events to celebrate their pairing. The Dull and Weem Community Council intends to mark the partnership with a new road sign and street party.Part VII Watch and enjoyChinese cuisine is certainly a part of Chinese culture. In the following video clip, a woman will teach you how to cook a Chinese dish -- steamed sea bass. The steps of the cooking and the making of the sauce have been listed below. Arrange them in the correct order. The first ones have been done for you.Videoscript：In China it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true. And this is certainly a dream recipe. I want to cook you my steamed sea bass in a ginger, lime beer sauce, and it couldn't be simpler.Slice a few slits. One side, and then the other. And I'm going to keep the head on because in Chinese tradition, that is a sign of unity and balance. Next, slice some ginger. Just big enough so they fit into the slits of the fish. And this is going to impart a delicious, aromatic heat, and it's going to taste fantastic. And on the other side, so the ginger's gone into the slits. And now all we do is just place it on a heat-proof plate in the bamboo steamer. Before we steam the fish, I'm going to add a little bit of Shaoxing rice wine. So about a tablespoon. In Chinese cooking, Shaoxing rice wine is a classic seasoning for fish and meat dishes, adding bitter-sweet flavors. Next, lay some finely sliced spring onion on the fish. Steam over boiling water for seven to eight minutes until the fish is opaque. In Chinese culture, we try to balance oppositeinfluences, known as Tin and Yang. They are the controlling elements in nature which should be balanced for a harmonious life. This dish, it's got those elements. The sea bass is very yin, and the ginger and rice wine which I have had a splash of that, they are very, very yang. This is the perfect balanced dish, and in Chinese cooking, we're always trying to achieve this perfect balance. Let's just check on the sea bass. The sea bass is lovely and it's cooked. You can see the meat has turned opaque, the eyes have turned white, and the flesh is lovely and flaky-ish. It just gives as you give it a slight poke.And for the sauce, finely grate some ginger. This is the hot, or yang to the fish's cool yin. For additional freshness, some zingy lime zest, two tablespoons should be about right. What we want to do now is get the wok nice and hot. And I'm just going to place the sea bass ... here. Just let that plate cool slightly. My special ingredient for this dish is Chinese beer. This is really going to add a delicious sweetness and really compliment the sea bass. If you can't get Chinese beer, then you can just use a light lager.So, wok lovely and hot, in with some groundnut oil, about a tablespoon or two. And then give this a good swirl. Then very, very quickly, in with the ginger. Before the ginger burns, put the fish carefully into the wok. Add a drop more rice wine or dry sherry, some light soy sauceand freshen it up with lime zest. Finally, the beer ... No drinking, just pour! Just pour some of the beer over the fish. Cooking like this will burn off some of the alcohol, but don't burn too much, because it makes a delicious sauce. So just let that gently braise, and let the sea bass soak in those flavors. Now just before serving, we just want to chop up some coriander. I've chopped the stalks and leaves and just throw that all into the wok. And that's ready to serve.Now to go with the sea bass, I've got some wild rice and basmati rice. The wild rice adds a nutty flavor and bite, contrasting with the neutral flavor and soft texture of basmati. The rice is going to allow you to soak up all those delicious flavors from the beer, the ginger, the spring onion and the coriander. So this is my steamed sea bass and delicious ginger lime beer sauce.。

Main Idea
The introduction of background of the story and the theme — Some people took advantage of free sampling. An example: the description of how the old man sampled the pudding. Climax: I wanted to help the old man but that hurt his dignity and I was embarrassed too.
Free Samples
Stores use free samples as a “come-on” in competing for customers. If a store provides free samples of products, it‟s likely that more people will shop there. Samples, usually of new foods and drinks, are given with the understanding that if you like them, you will buy them. It is not socially acceptable to continue to sample the same product time and time again without making a purchase.

15 Finally, what about after dinner? Is the family evening at least something the Cleavers could relate to?
16 Not a chance. 17 We don’t even have to look outside the home to see the changes. The modern American family entertains itself in ways the Cleavers would never have dreamed of.
12 These days, few people have time to shop for and prepare “home-style” meals. The Cleavers were used to dinners of pot roast or chicken. Potatoes, salad, and vegetables went with the main course, with pie or cake for dessert. But this kind of meal takes several hours to fix. People can’t spend hours in the kitchen if they get home at 5:30.
