Too many of them are left in homes for the elderly, alone and often forgotten by their families. Or they live with their families, who then have no time to themselves.The family placement scheme is currently providing many carers with a satisfying and important occupation. And more and more grandparents are being "adopted" by caring families.How does the scheme operateFamilies are interviewed and carefully matched to the elderly person or persons, taking into account such things as suitability of accommodation - special needs, children and pets, smoking, lifestyle, personality and interests. Matching is, of course, largely a matter of ensuring that the elderly person and the carer will enjoy each other's company.After this the elderly person and the family are prepared for the placement: An introductory visit is arranged, usually in the carer's home. This means that when the placement begins the elderly person and family have met each other.Carers are paid on a weekly basis to cover expenses.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1.This passage is about the family placement scheme and how it operates.The key words are elderly people. care. respect: scheme. adopted. caring families: interviewed. matched. suitability: matching. ensuring. enjoy company: introductory visit. caring home: paid.cover expenses.Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueTree Climbers of Pompeii*Sara: Urn ... It's another one of my adventures as a tourist, urn ... finding out things you really didn't expect to find out when you went to the place! Iwent to Pompeii and of course what you go to Pompeii for is er ... thearchaeology.Liz: To see the ruins.Sara: To see the ruins. And I was actually seeing the ruins but urn ... suddenly my attention was caught by something else. I was just walking round thecomer of a ruin, into a group of trees, pine trees, and I was just looking atthem, admiring them and suddenly I saw a man halfway up this tree, and Iwas looking at him so all I could see was his hands and his feet and he wasabout 20 or 30 feet up. I thought, "Goodness, what's going on here Has hegot a ladder or hasn't he" So I walked round to see if he had a ladder. No, he had just gone straight up the tree.Liz: He'd shinned up* the tree.Sara: He'd shinned up the tree. Like a monkey, more or less, except he was a rather middle-aged monkey ... He was er ... he was all of 50 and (Dh God),what's going on here Anyway, I walked a bit further and saw other peopleeither up trees or preparing to go up trees, and then I noticed a manstanding there directing them. A sort of foreman, and began to wonderwhat on earth was going on, and then on the ground I saw there were allthese polythene* buckets and they were full of pine cones* and of coursewhat they were doing was collecting pine cones, and I thought, "Well, howtidy of them to collect pine cones to stop the ruins being urn ... made urn ...made untidy with all these things." Then I saw there was a lorry ... full ofpine cones ... This was getting ridiculous ... They were really collectingthem in a big way. So I urn ... asked the er ... foreman what was going onand he said, "Well you know urn ... pine nuts are extremely sought afterand valuable in the food industry in Italy."Liz: For food (Yeah). Not fuel! I thought you were going to say they were going to put (bum) them on a fire. Yes.Sara: Well, they might bum the er ... cones when they've finished with them butinside these cones/are little white things like nuts and er ... I realized that they're used in Italiancooking quite alot in er ... there's a particular sauce that goes with spaghetti em ... fromGeneva, I think, called "pesto*" in which these nuts are ground up and ofcourse they they ... come in cakes and sweets and things like that.Liz: So jt's quite a delicacy.Sara: It's quite a delicacy. And of course I'd never thought of how they actually got them 'cos you can't imagine having a pine nut farm. So what he said happens is that private fIrms like his buy a licence off the Italian State for the right to go round places like Pompeii - archaeological sites and things - and systematically collect all the pine cones that come off the trees and similarly in the ... in the forests.Liz: And of course they have to go up the tree because by the time it's fallen food isn't any good . Sara: That's right. They're Qulling them down and he said they were very good at urn ... recognizing which ones were ready and which ones were a bit hard and etc, and each of them had a sort of stick with a hook at the end which they were using to pull the pines off ... off the trees but clearly it wasn't enough to sit around and wait till they fell down. You ... you had to do something about it. There they were. So that was er ... the end of my looking at the ruins for about half an hour. I was too fascinated by this er .. , strange form of er ... agriculture.Liz: Well, what you don't intend to see is always the mostinteresting. Sara: Much more interesting.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.Part 2 PassageWindmills1.Now, windmills are poised to break into a new frontier: the modern city center,often fused into building designs and barely noticeable from a distance.2.Lighter, quieter, and often more effIcient than their rural counterparts, theytake advantage of the extreme turbulence and rapid shifts in direction thatcharacterize urban wind patterns.3.But so far, the current models are being designed more for public or commercialbuildings than for private homes, and the smallest weigh roughly 200 kilograms.4.The recent liberalization of European energy markets also has allowedcustomers to choose what kind of sustainable energy they want to purchase, with wind energy among the most popular.In the classrooms down below, there's no palpable sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid.The graceful wooden windmills that have broken up the flat Dutch landscape for centuries a national symbol like wooden shoes and tulips - yielded long ago to ungainly metal-pole wind turbines.*Now, windmills are poised to break into a new frontier: the modem city center, often fused* into building designs and barely noticeable from a distance.Though still in its teething stages, the "urban turbine" is a high-tech windmill designed to generate energy from the rooftops of bustling cities.Lighter, quieter, and often more efficient than their rural counterparts, they take advantage of the extreme turbulence* and rapid shifts in direction that characterize urban wind patterns.Prototypes* have been successfully tested in several Dutch cities, and the citygovernment in the Hague has recently agreed to begin a large-scale deployment in 2003.These very visible projects also improve the public profile of wind power, making energy companies look environmentally correct.Current models cost US$8,000 to US$12,000, and can generate between 3,000 and 7,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A typical Dutch household uses 3,500 kilowatt hours per year, while in the United States, this figure jumps to around 10,000 kilowatt hours.But so far, they are being designed more for public or commercial buildings than for private homes. The smallest of the current models weigh roughly 200 kilograms and can be installed on a roof in a few hours without using a crane.Germany, Finland and Denmark have also been experimenting with the technology, but the ever-practical Dutch are natural pioneers in urban wind power, mainly because of the lack of space there.The Netherlands, with 16 million people crowded into a country twice the size of Slovenia, is the most densely populated in Europe.The scarcity of land also is felt in the countryside, forcing traditional wind farms to seek new locations. Offshore wind farms are more common, but remain pricey and difficult to service.Various European initiatives to increase the viability* of sustainable energy also have given the urban turbine a boost, leading to heightened interest in "zero-energy" buildings that generate their own power.The recent liberalization of European energy markets also has allowed customers to choose what kind of sustainable energy they want to purchase, with wind energy among the most popular.Windmills are usually noisy, though the latest models are considered quiet enough to blend into the background noise that already exists in the urbanBut in the classrooms down below, there's no palpable* sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid. Nor is there the kind of visual blight* often ssociated with modern windmills.environment.In the Dutch town of Ede, whose old wooden mill now generates more tourism than energy, the new windmill on the roof of the ROVC Technical School hardly makes a whisper as its blades spin in a brisk winter breeze. If the wind is blowing really hard, you can usually hear it a little bit on the roof.But in the classrooms down below, there’s no palpable sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid. Nor is the kind of visual blight often associated with modern windmills.Meanwhile, projects are under way to use the windmills to generate power for lifeboats, streetlights, and portable generators.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionHolland, I think, is the country noted for windmills. We seldom have the chances to see the real ones, but sometimes we can find them in some amusement parks. Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.Section Three NEWSNews Item 1Indonesia-IMF*Indonesia has made the long-awaited announcement that it is going to leave the International Monetary Fund* loan program at the end of the year. Tim Johnston reports from Jakarta. That presents a number of challenges for the government of President Megawati Sukamoputri *.Indonesia has been reliant on funding from the IMF since its economy almost collapsed during the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s.The country now owes billion dollars to the IMF, and it has said that it will repay the money over six years. In order to satisfy the fund's conditions - and reassure* investors - IMF officials will still monitor the country's finances.Some economists are worried that without the steadying hand of the IMF, the administration will be less inclined to tackle reforms that are politically sensitive, but necessary.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an announcement made by Indonesia to leave the International Monetary Fund loan program at the end of the year.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.News Item 2US EconomyMost analysts had expected the GDP number to be one percentage point lower than what was actually the case. The Commerce Department says the economy moved ahead in large part because of a surge* in defense spending, which was up 44 percent from the same period a year ago. The housing sector was also strong because of low interest rates, which are at their lowest level in 45 years.Drew Matus, an analyst at Lehman Brothers in New York, is encouraged by the apparent rebound* in capital investment.A second report also lifted stock prices as investors began to think that the long-expected pickup in growth may be actually occurring. First-time claims for unemployment benefits fell back last week to their lowest level in five weeks. Lower first-time claims is a sign that the long depressed US labor market may be improving.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the faster-than-expected growth of US economy.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and answer the following questions.1.Most analysts had expected the GDP number to be one percentage point lowerthan what was actually the case.2.The Commerce Department says the economy moved ahead in large partbecause of a surge in defense spending, which was up 44 percent from thesame period a year ago.3.The housing sector was also strong because of low interest rates, which are attheir lowest level in 45 years.4.Unemployment benefits fell back last week to their lowest level in five weeks.The long depressed US labor market may be improving.News Item 3US Economic RecoveryEconomic growth is expected to be slow in the corning months. The Conference Board predicts US Gross Domestic Product will rise only about percent this year.But Board economist Ken Goldstein says the worst of the recession is probably over. The US job market is stabilizing; American consumers are showing new strength and, generally, the stage is set for a major turnaround* in corporate*profits.So there's a process here in terms of easing out of the profit squeeze, of easing out of the consumer decline, and slowly, we are not there yet, of moving out of the global slowdown, that is helping domestically to build up this head of steam toward a new expansion, that could be under way by Spring.Consumers hold the key to a rebound, accounting for about two-thirds of the US economy.Confidence slipped last year. Spending was down. But the Conference Board believes that is all in the past.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about a prediction of the US economic prospect.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following passage.The Conference Board predicts US Gross Domestic Product will rise only about percent this year, but the worst of the recession is probably over. The US job market is stabilizing; American consumers are showing new strength. Consumers hold the key to a rebound. Confidence slipped last year. Spending was down. But the Conference Board believes that is all in the past.Section Four Supplemmentary ExercisesPart 1 Feature ReportUN Business ConferenceUN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said many times that the world organization will remain relevant only if it involves other institutions - universities, non-governmental groups and private businesses - in its mission.The two-day conference on business titled "Aid and Trade" features four major seminars and more than 150 exhibits sponsored by both nations and private companies.Significantly, the conference is not being held at a UN facility but at NewYork's Javits Convention Center, the scene of numerous business and trade fairs.While some of the more than 500 attendees from business and government listened to speeches, others mingled with* representatives of the various businesses and countries that had set up booths*.Reinhart Helmke, Director of the UN Office for Project Services and chief organizer of the conference, says the main purpose of the event is to demonstrate that globalization is for everyone."Globalization is probably the best opportunity that has been given to mankind in a very long period of time. Let us make the best out of it that we can.Let us use the free flow of information and the potential of large-based participation to carry this out in a cooperative fashion which must include all segments of civil society, obviously including the business sector that has notbeen much included in the past."Mr Helmke says the partnerships can involve direct UN participation orprivate sector investment/in countries. One outstanding UN project, he says, is the world organization's partnership withEricsson, the Swedish telecommunications company. The company maintains an emergency response team that provides telecommunications capabilities at the scenes of natural disasters suchas the recent flooding in Mozambique.One of the conference participants is Michael Storey, head of Inmarsat, a British-based voice and data transmission company. He says the work that his ftrm and other communications companies are doing in developing nations provides a catalyst* for greater economic development."I believe that telecommunications, and particularly information technology and the Internet, is the great factor for total economic development into this new millennium*."Larry Clarkson, a former vice president of the Boeing Aircraft Company and now a consultant told the conference it is very important to have global rules involving trade and investment to prevent businesses from exploiting people in poorer nations. At the same time, however, Mr Clarkson says governments of developing nations must also uphold rules of behavior.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a two-dav UN conference on business opened in New York which demonstrates that globalization is for everyone.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

It embraces four cities and threedistricts in one vast urban sprawl.3.Looking back at the changing skyline of the central business district, you will seethe dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings.4.Experience the fine food fare at some of the city's 800 restaurants, which coverthe full spectrum from exotic Asian dishes to distinctive Pacific Rim stylecuisine.5.The area was greatly sought after as a desirable place to live, with everypossible amenity, and the same is true today.Imagine a modem, cosmopolitan* city of one million people sprawling over an area twice the size of London. Imagine that this city has a sunny climate with average temperatures of 20°C in summer, 13°C in winter and a moderate meter annual rainfall.Visualise this place built on 50 dormant volcanic cones between two beautiful harbors, where everyone lives within a 30-minute drive of white sand beaches, lush rainforest, over 20 regional parks and a maritime playground embracing* 50 islands. This place is Auckland.Little wonder then that this uniquely exciting twin-harbor city attracts million overseas visitors each year and is regarded as having one of the best lifestyles and family environments in the world.Auckland is the main gateway to New Zealand and our largest city. It actually embraces four cities and three districts in one vast urban sprawl *. The cities are Auckland, North Shore, Manukau and Waitakere and the districts are Rodney, Papakura and Franklin.The best way to view Auckland city is from the Waitemata Harbor. Regularpassenger ferries glide across the sparkling waters to Devonport and the Hauraki Gulf islands of Motutapu, Motuihe, Waiheke and Rangitoto. Rangitoto's symmetrical volcano is an Auckland icon. Looking back at the changing skyline of the central business district you will see the dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings. It's the highest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive "coat hanger" shape of the Harbor Bridge rises solidly in the upper harbor. The Waitemata often presents a brilliant kaleidoscope of movement and form. Brightly-colored spinnakers billow out from straining stays as hundreds of racing yachts sail on the edge of a stiff breeze and sleek power boats zap out to picturesque island beaches.Auckland is well named as the "City of Sails" because of its association with round-the-world yacht races and the America's Cup. Stroll down the main commercial precinct*, Queen Street, and enjoy leisurely shopping in intimate arcades and boutique* stores spread throughout the downtown area. Visit the large modern shopping malls in a number of suburban areas. Experience the fine food fare at some of the city's 800 restaurants, which cover the full spectrum from exotic Asian dishes to distinctive Pacific Rim* style cuisine.From lower Queen Street you soon reach the harbor front. Here you will find the modern, stylish Viaduct Harbor, pulsating with life in the many bars, cafes and restaurants - a happy haven for super yachts from all parts of the globe. In Queen Street and the entertainment district of "" you will notice the cosmopolitan nature of Auckland - a cultural mix of European, Polynesian and Asian influences. The city is unique as it has the largest concentration of Polynesian peoples in the world. Early Maori inhabitants knew the Waitemata Harbor as Tamaki Makarau, "the Place of a Thousand Lovers". The area was greatly sought after as a desirable place to live, with every possible amenity * . The same is true today, as you will discover during your exploration of the city and environs.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionPerhaps there are three main characteristics. First, New Zealand's national identity comes from the combination of European and Polynesian. Second, New Zealand takes a community approach to problems. People believe in social equality, and have established a welfare system to get rid of the fear of poverty. Third, both English and Maori are official languages.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirection~: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1.Auckland has a sunny climate with average temperature of 20 'C in summer, 13'C in winter and a moderate metre annual rainfall.2.It is situated on 50 dormant volcanic cones between two beautiful harbors.3.Because it has one of the best lifestyles and family environments in the world.4.It consists of four cities (Auckland, North Shore, Manukau and Waitakere) andthree districts(Rodney, Papakura and Franklin). It is the largest city in New Zealand.5.The Sky Tower is the highest not only in Auckland, but also in the SouthernHemisphere.6.It is a "coat hanger" shape.7.Because it is associated with round-the-world yacht races and the America'sCup.8.Queen Street and the entertainment district of '' represent a cultural mix.Exercise D After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1.The best way to view Auckland city is from the Waitemata Harbor. Regularpassenger ferries glide across the sparkling waters to the islands. Rangitoto's symmetrical volcano is an Auckland icon. Looking back at the changing skyline of the CBD (the central business district) you will see the dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings. It's the highest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive "coat hanger" shape of the Harbor Bridge rises solidly in the upper harbor. The Waitemata often presents a brilliant kaleidoscope of movement and form. Brightly-colored spinnakers billow out from straining stays as hundreds of racing yachts sail on the edge of a stiff breeze and sleek power boats zap out to picturesque island beaches.Visitors can alsq, stroll down the main commercial precinct, Queen Street, and enjoy leisurely shopping in intimate arcades and boutique stores spread throughout the downtown area or visit the large modem shopping malls in a number of suburban areas.

No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.1.T hey are possibly boyfriend and girlfriend.2.In a restaurant.3."It doesn't really matter, does it? I haven't got anything better to do, have I?""I've only been waiting for over an hour.That's all" "After all, my time isn't reallythat important, is it?" well, at least It waslucky you found a barrage to repair yourcar4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts* a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam* container slightlylarger than a shoebox.Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolenstatuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth." Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionEvery January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking.

This guy is a dictator and so we have to seewhat he says." The president says the Iraqi leader has a choice to make: disarm peacefully or be disarmed by force: "If Saddam Hussein does not comply to the detail of the resolution, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. It is over. We are through with negotiations. There is no more time. The man must disarm. He said he would disarm. He now must disarm." Mr. Bush spoke with reporters while touring the Washington D.C. police department, a tour designed to highlight his plan to create a cabinet level Department of Homeland Security. He left no doubt his patience regarding Iraq is wearing very thin*, stressing the United States will no longer tolerate any efforts by Saddam Hussein to circumvent* demands to disarm.

In an interview with Radio Monte Carlo's Arabic service Thursday, Mr. Blair said war could be avoided, if Iraq agreed to disarm."The situation is very clear. If Saddam Hussein agrees to disarm Iraq of all chemical, or biological or nuclear weapons programs and capability, then conflict would be avoided, and his duty is to cooperate fully with the inspectors to tell them exactly what material he has, to cooperate and comply with them in the eradication of that material."The prime minister said he wanted to speak directly to the Iraqi people to try to dispel* what he called myths that have arisen between Christians and Muslims. He said the dispute with Iraq is not about the West versus the East or about oil, but about weapons of mass destruction.Exercise ADirections: Listening to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about British Prime Minister's stand on the Iraqi issue.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Prime Minister Blair warned that Saddam Hussein would suffer theconsequences unless he cooperated with the UN weapons inspectors.

The Security Council gave Iraq this last opportunity to disarm or face serious consequences, a euphemism* for possible war. The United States says it will make sure Iraq disarms, one way or another.But Mr. Blix* emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the courseof events in the region. He says they will visit suspected sites, conduct interviews with Iraqi scientists, ferret* out information and report back to the Security Council for its members to decide.As for US and British intelligence reports, which the Bush administration says proves that Iraq has banned weapons, Mr. Blix says he is not going into Iraq with pre-conceived ideas of what is there.The next test for Iraq will be December 8th, the deadline for Iraq to present a full accounting of its weapons programs. If Iraq presents, in effect, a blank sheet, Mr. Blix says, he would expect the United States to put its evidence on the table, so it can be verified.Iraq has persistently maintained it does not have the banned weapons. The latest such assertion came in a letter to the UN this week, in which Baghdad accepted the latest Security Council resolution setting out the parameters* for what experts say will be the most intrusive inspections in Iraq, so far.After the preliminary technical work starting Monday, Mr. Blix says, he expects the first wave of inspections to start November 27th. Two months later, he is required to report to the Security Council on Iraq's performance.Exercise ADirections: Listening to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about Mr. Blix's weapons inspections in Iraq.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and fill in the blanks with the missing words.Mr. Blix emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the course of events in the region.

Unit 1Part BText 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.'The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening.'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Exercise 2: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. T 5.

To my mind, it's the permissive attitude of the parents that is to blame.Q: What can you learn from the man's response?Conversation 2:M: Don't you think it's good to give our children a monthly allowance?W: I think so. It can teach them the value of money. With a monthly allowance they can learn to budget their expenses wisely.Q: What are they talking about?Conversation 3:M: Mom, I've got a part-time job at a supermarket. Three hours a day weekdays and all day Saturday.W: Congratulations, Tom. But are you sure you can handle it? What about your homework and your piano lessons?Q: How does the mother feel about Tom's part-time job at the supermarket?Conversation 4:M: Hey, Mary. You look so upset. What happened?W: My father had an accident the other day. He is now in hospital and will have an operation tomorrow. You see, his heart is rather weak. I really don't know whether he can survive it.Q: What's the woman worried about?Conversation 5:W : Mother's Day is coming soon. Could you tell me what sons and daughters do in your country on that day?M: Well, they send their mothers flowers and cards to celebrate the occasion. Besides, it is a common practice for them to wear pink carnations on that day.Q: Which of the following is true of the customs of Mother's Day in the man's country?1. b2. c3. b4. d5. dPart DMy First JobMy parents ran a small restaurant. It was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.Statements:1. The speaker had more than one responsibility at his parents' restaurant.2. The speaker's parents kept their business open around the clock.3. It can be inferred that the speaker's family lived in the United States.4. It seems that the speaker's father was very strict with him but quite kind to his friends.5. The father finally agreed to pay his child for his work but would deduct the cost of his meals.6. This story shows that the speaker has very unhappy memories of his childhood.Unit 2Part BText1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidenceText2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. F 5. FStatements:1. Several coincidences happened in the story.2. The coincidences made it possible for the owner to sell his house at a good price.3. No one actually benefited from the coincidences.4. It can be inferred that Mr. Stewart did not have to seek extra work from then on.5. With the extra money Mr. Stewart had earned, Andrew's dream finally came true.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Part CDad Stops for Gas, Finds Lost SonNueng Garcia was the son of an American serviceman stationed in Thailand in 1969. But his father went back to the States when Nueng was only three months old. When he grew up Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado. His dream was to find his father John Garcia. Year after year, he tried in vain to search for information about the whereabouts of his father.It was a fine day in Pueblo. There was not a cloud in the blue sky. But for him, it was just another day on the job. Suddenly he noticed the name of one customer who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and looked at the man. Could this be his father?"Are you John Garcia?" he asked."Yes," came the answer."Were you ever in the Air Force?""Yes.""Were you ever in Thailand?""What's that to do with you?" answered the man, who became suspicious by then."Were you or were you not?" Nueng persisted."Yes.""Did you ever have a son?"At this truth dawned on the man. They stared at each other and realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.John Garcia hadn't seen his son since 1969. He lost touch with Nueng's mother when she started seeing another man. He moved to Pueblo nine years ago. He said he never went to that gas station, wasn't even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check.Exercise:1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. T 7. F 8. TStatements:1. Nueng's parents divorced when he was only 3 months old.2. After moving to the U.S.A., Nueng worked at a gas station in Colorado.3. Nueng never gave up his efforts to find his father, but John Garcia had never looked for his son.4. One day while at work Nueng's eyes fell on the photo of a customer's driver's license, and the man in the photo looked like his father.5. John Garcia was once in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Thailand.6. John Garcia and his son didn't meet each other again until 1996.7. Nueng's father said he often went to that gas station but never paid with a check.8. It was by coincidence that John Garcia and his son were reunited after many years of separation.Part DUnexplained ParallelsOne of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater; Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents, with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota. They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a bracelet on the other. They married on the same day, had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise. In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.How can we explain the above similarities?Exercise:1)Shot, Friday, wives2)Succeeded, Johnson3)killers, brought, justice4)secretaries5)Ford theater, Lincoln6)Died, accidents7)trucks, same road8)met, 34, seven rings, wrist, watch9)Married, wedding dresses, same flowers10)similar, children11)cat, TigerStatements:1. Both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were killed by a Southerner.2. John F. Kennedy's secretary was named after Abraham Lincoln.3. The news story told about the traffic accidents that killed two twin brothers.4. It can be inferred from the passage that more parallel phenomena are studied in the United States than in any other country.5. Coincidences occurring in three nations are described in the passage.6. Some psychologists' interest is the research on coincidences between twins.7. According to the speaker, coincidences occur much more often between twins than between people who are not related.8. The speaker does not mention his/her own opinion on whether these parallels can be explained.Unit 3Part BText 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.)John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation?Exercise 2:1. Because she wanted to understand each other's expectations so that potential problems could be avoided and they could live happily together.2. Cleaning up. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping. Time for bed: 11pm; time to get up: 6:30am except on weekends.Text 2A Marriage Agreement (Part Two)John: Linda, do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing? Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes. John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize.John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.Tom & Linda: Thank you.Exercise 1: 1. F 2.F 3.T 4.TStatements:1. Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects.2. Once Tom broke Article 14 and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner.3. If some of the rules in the marriage agreement become outdated, changes will be made to update them.4. It seems that both Tom and Linda are satisfied with their marriage agreement.Exercise 2:1. One rule says that if they get lost for more than five minutes when they are driving, they must stop and ask for directions.2. Once Tom and Linda got lost when they were driving to a friend's wedding.3. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask the way, but Tom thought he could figure it out.4. As a result, they were late for the wedding because they went in the wrong direction for forty miles.Part CA Perfect MatchAre you looking for a good relationship with someone special? What type of person is the best personfor you? Is it the person with the highest IQ? Is it the most beautiful or most handsome person? How about the richest person or the most ambitious? Is your ideal partner the most traditional or the most modern person? Is he or she the person most like you, or most unlike you?The answer, psychologists say, is none of the above. Why? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear. Most people are happy with moderation -- with partners who are not the most or the best (or the least or the worst). People are more comfortable with partners who are not so special.The research showed several other important things. In a love relationship, two things can cause trouble. First, trouble happens when both people get angry quickly. This is not surprising. Second, trouble happens when people don't expect to change themselves in a relationship. Do you stay calm when you disagree with someone? Are you ready to change yourself? If you can tolerate disagreement and are willing to change, maybe you are ready for a serious relationship.Exercise:1. ...not so special/not extremes2. a. ...get angry quicklyb. ...change themselves...Statements: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. T 6. T1. The passage implies that the perfect match for you is a person who is most unlike you.2. The author argues that the most beautiful or most handsome person may not be your perfect partner.3. Moderate person, that is, the partners who are not the most or the best can be your perfect match.4. The research showed that an extreme love relationship between the two can cause trouble.5. The passage states that the anger is one of the causes that lead to the breakup of a love relationship.6. The perfect match lies in the people's attitudes to tolerate disagreement and be willing to change in a relationship.Part DHusbands and Wives Don't See Things AlikeLet's face it -- husbands and wives just don't see things alike. Take TV remote controls, for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks."It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching."This talk show host makes me so angry!" she cried one evening."Then why don't you change the channel?" I asked."Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels."Differences. No right or wrong, just differences."The first law of civilization," said an old philosopher, "is to let people be different."I don't need to convert my wife to my ways, and she doesn't try to make me be like her. We simplytake turns monitoring the remote control.Exercise:1.He frequently changes channels.2.No. It makes her very angry.3.She sticks to one channel even if she doesn’t like it.4.They take turns monitoring the remote control.5.How everything is going on in the neighborhood and among all their relatives.6.No. Because, as one philosopher puts it, “The first law of civilization is to let people be different.”7.Statements:1. The major difference between the speaker and his wife is their TV viewing habits.2. According to the speaker, he is more interested in talk shows while his wife is more interested in news programs.3. The wife seems to be more weird than the husband is.4. The speaker and his wife usually take turns working the remote control when they watch television.5. It can be inferred that women are generally more tolerant than men of their spouse's differences.6.

And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess. Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment.Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown. Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence.

上外中级⼝译第三版听⼒教程原⽂及讲解--Unit14中级⼝译听⼒教程第三版6BUnit 14. Part one. A great musician. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about Beethoven and decide whether the following statements are true, T, or false, F.Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he rewrote and corrected his work, because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself. When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse. And at last, he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear, he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair. He was sure that he was going to die. He went away to the country and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. It was impossible for me to ask men to speak loud or shout for I am deaf, he wrote. How could I possibly admit them in affirmative in the one sense, which should be more perfect in me than in others. I must live like an exile. He long to die. And said to death, come when you will, I shall meet you bravely. In fact Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music. Though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly, he wrote his best music, the music we remember him for after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music which reminds us of his trouble and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything. And he called one of his symphonies the eroica or heroic symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man. Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous fifth symphony he said, thus fate knocks on the door. In time Beethoven went completely deaf, so deaf that he could not hear even the stormiest part of his exiting music. But in those years he wrote more glorious leaf than ever. He could hear his music with his mind if not with his ears. His friends had to write down what they wanted to say to him. He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, The Ninth, acquire seems a wonderful him of joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.2. Listen again and supply the missing information in the following passage.Part 2. Statements. 2. Exercises.

Part three. 3. Exercises.1. Background music. Listen to the following conversation about background music and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: What are you working on now?W: I’ve just finished a piece on background music. Oh, like the music they are playing here now. You hear it everywhere in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores, and banks too. I noticed that while we were at bank today.M: Did you? I didn’t.W: You are not supposed to notice it. It’s just there in the background. It’s supposed to influence your attitudes, pulling you the right mood.M: I am not sure I like that idea.W: Well, it seems to work. Company is paying millions of dollars every year for backgroundmusic. It’s supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and they work better that way. In one factory music increase production by 4.5 percent.M: I should think that they will get tired if hearing music all day.W: They don’t though. One fellow in San Francisco told me if the music stops somebody always runs to the telephone to complain.M: Now that I think about it I can’t remember when there wasn’t background music in restaurants and stores.W: That shows how young you are. Actually it all started during world war two when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now of course the music is piped in by a machine. And different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at 10 in the morning than at 8 for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.M: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?W: I don’t know about that. But I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing fast music they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating. The time was 22 before that.M: So they have more people coming in and up to buy hamburgers.W: Exactly. And that’s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services.M: I still think there is something about it that I don’t quite like.W: I know what you mean. But lots of people will not agree with you. The Xerox corporation in Rochester New York spends more than 80,000 dollars a year for background music. Prisons use it and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It’s even supposed to have effect on plants.Questions:1) When did background music started to be used in factories?2) Why is fast background music used in hamburger places?3) Which of the following statements is not true about background music?4) Which of the following is not mentioned as a place where you can hear background music?2. Native American music. Listen to the following talk about Jazz, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.Of all the varieties of music which fill our concert halls, theatres and nightclubs, only Jazz is native American music. Symphonies and concertos, the ancestors of movie and television scores as well as of serious legitimate electronic music were first composed in Germany. Musical comedies are descended from opera which was first performed in Italy. And our ever popular nightclub singers are the music heirs of the French singers. The one form of music which does not originate in Europe and which is popular today world wide is Jazz. Jazz was born in New Orleans, the child of the blacks. It drew on the rhythms as well as the emotionalism of the African music of the black’s ancestors which has been transformed into rap tongues and blues. From rap tongue Jazz took a single pitted rhythms, while from the blues it adopted monologue and harmonic elements such as mournful tunes once sung by slaves and close Barbie shop type chromatic coordination. Questions:1) Where did symphonies and concertos originate?2) What is the origin of musical comedies perform now?3) What kind of music is jazz based on?3. The receiver of music. Here is a short talk about music. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear. We may engage ourselves with music as a creator that is a composer, or as a re-creator that is a performer. But most of us engage ourselves with music as a receiver or a listener. As a listener we respond to music with different levels of receptivity. We may be very casual and careless about the way we hear music, paying almost no attention to it. Elevator or telephone music, for example, is not meant to be listened to intently. We’ve all used music as background sound to create a pleasant atmosphere for our own quiet thought. On the other hand, especially when we are on the road an easy listening can create a dream like haze, so we may deliberately tune out the music so as to concentrate on the driving. However, there are other times when music is the center of our focus, and we give out our full attention. This could be in a church, at a special event, or at a concert. But how are we supposed to listen? And what are we supposed to listen for? Basically there are two ways to experience music. Some people let the sounds wash over them like a sonic bath and emotional flood. This is the sensuous level. Other listeners respond on a perceptive or analytical level, paying attention to various aspects of the music as they unfold. They listen for musically events. The first level of attending to music is purely emotive, the second analytical. Ideally we learn to listen more perceptively in order to increase the emotional impact. The second way of perceptive or analytical listening reviews the expressive power of the music composition so that we can enjoy it more fully.Questions:1) What role do most of us play when we engage ourselves with music?2) Why do we sometimes deliberately tune out the music when we are on the road?3) According to the talk where is music most likely to become the center of our focus?4) How can we enjoy the music composition more fully?Part four. Listening and translation. 2. Exercises.1. Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) At the end of 2 day board meeting the chairman declared that the motion was carried by a majority of 6 to 1.2) Scientists used to think that men are different from animals, because they can think and learn. They now know that animals can also learn.3) Scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals can not speak, they make noises when they are afraid or unhappy.4) According to the association for computing machinery more than 230 companies exhibited and a rough estimated of the visitors topped 24,000 from 79 countries for the 34th annual event.5) Unemployed women living with a child under age 6 spent about an hour less per day working than employed women living in households with no children.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. In fact the British Isles contain a variety of people, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others refer to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish as the case may be.2) Talking about my favorite clothing right now. Well, I am in a transitional period between unique and conservative. I am almost on the school and I am working part time in an office. Well, my favorite unique clothing, I have a pair of pants that I got from a vintage clothing store. You know those stores where you buy old clothe and stuff. And I guess it’s a wool, checked pants that are weighed too big. I definitely have to worry about with them. I wore them in high school and college, there are pair pants that I probably won’t ever throw away.Unit fourteenPart one A create MusicianInfirmity体弱; 虚弱; 衰弱bad health caused by old age or illnessExile eksa?l n.流放; 放逐; 充军/长期去国或离家/（⾃愿或被迫）去国者To compose写, 创作（乐曲﹑歌剧等/（不⽤於被动语态某事物的部分或成分）构成（整体）; 组成/不⽤於被动语态（⾃⼰[某事物]）安定, 平静, 镇静, 冷静: Stately威严的; 庄严的; 堂皇的; 宏伟的; 盛⼤的Symphony交响曲; 交响乐Hymn h?m;赞美诗, 圣歌（尤指基督徒为颂扬上帝⽽唱的）.Part threeHamburgerSymphonyConcerto k?n?t?e?t?u协奏曲To descend下去; 下降/从某⼈处继承, 传下, 遗传/（指夜﹑⿊暗）降临/be descended from sb为某⼈的後裔To originate ~ in sth; ~ from/with sb have sth/sb as a cause or beginning 始⾃某事物[某⼈]; 起因; 发端/创作, 发明（某事物）To draw ondraw on/upon sth use sth 使⽤; 利⽤; 运⽤draw sb on attract or entice sb 吸引或引诱某⼈RhythmEmotionalismSyncopated sounds or movements emphasize the weak beats instead of the strong beatsSyncopate切分（⾳乐的节奏或节拍）（使强弱倒置Melodic m??l?d?k;曲调的; 旋律的; ⾳调优美的.Harmonic和声的Chromatic kr?um?t?k颜⾊鲜艳的. 有半⾳阶的Chord（⾳乐的）和弦, 和⾳.Haze迷糊; 疑惑/薄雾; 霾Perceptive观察敏锐的; 善於理解的/有理解⼒的; 有洞察⼒的; 有识别⼒的To unfold（使某物）展开, 打开/（使某事物）显露, 展现New Orleans新奥尔良美国路易斯安那州东南部城市。

And more and more grandparents are being "adopted" by caring families.How does the scheme operateFamilies are interviewed and carefully matched to the elderly person or persons, taking into account such things as suitability of accommodation - special needs, children and pets, smoking, lifestyle, personality and interests. Matching is, of course, largely a matter of ensuring that the elderly person and the carer will enjoy each other's company.After this the elderly person and the family are prepared for the placement: An introductory visit is arranged, usually in the carer's home. This means thatwhen the placement begins the elderly person and family have met each other.Carers are paid on a weekly basis to cover expenses.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1.This passage is about the family placement scheme and how it operates.The key words are elderly people. care. respect: scheme. adopted. caring families: interviewed. matched. suitability: matching. ensuring. enjoy company: introductory visit. caring home: paid.cover expenses.Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueTree Climbers of Pompeii*Sara: Urn ... It's another one of my adventures as a tourist, urn ... finding out things you really didn't expect to find out when you went to the place! Iwent to Pompeii and of course what you go to Pompeii for is er ... the archaeology.Liz: To see the ruins.Sara: To see the ruins. And I was actually seeing the ruins but urn ... suddenly my attention was caught by something else. I was just walking round the comer of a ruin, into a group of trees, pine trees, and I was just looking at them, admiring them and suddenly I saw a man halfway up this tree, and I was looking at him so all I could see was his hands and his feet and he was about 20 or 30 feet up. I thought, "Goodness, what's going on here Has he got a ladder or hasn't he" So I walked round to see if he had a ladder. No, he had just gone straight up the tree.Liz: He'd shinned up* the tree.Sara: He'd shinned up the tree. Like a monkey, more or less, except he was a rather middle-aged monkey ... He was er ... he was all of 50 and (Dh God), what's going on here Anyway, I walked a bit further and saw other people either up trees or preparing to go up trees, and then I noticed a man standing there directing them. A sort of foreman, and began to wonder what on earth was going on, and then on the ground I saw there were all these polythene* buckets and they were full of pine cones* and of course what they were doing was collecting pine cones, and I thought, "Well, how tidy of them to collect pine cones to stop the ruins being urn ... made urn ...made untidy with all these things." Then I saw there was a lorry ... full ofpine cones ... This was getting ridiculous ... They were really collectingthem in a big way. So I urn ... asked the er ... foreman what was going onand he said, "Well you know urn ... pine nuts are extremely sought afterand valuable in the food industry in Italy."Liz: For food (Yeah). Not fuel! I thought you were going to say they were going to put (bum) them on a fire. Yes.Sara: Well, they might bum the er ... cones when they've finished with them butinside these cones/are little white things like nuts and er ... I realized that they're used in Italiancooking quite alot in er ... there's a particular sauce that goes with spaghetti em ... fromGeneva, I think, called "pesto*" in which these nuts are ground up and ofcourse they they ... come in cakes and sweets and things like that.Liz: So jt's quite a delicacy.Sara: It's quite a delicacy. And of course I'd never thought of how they actually got them 'cos you can't imagine having a pine nut farm. So what he said happensis that private fIrms like his buy a licence off the Italian State for the right togo round places like Pompeii - archaeological sites and things - andsystematically collect all the pine cones that come off the trees and similarlyin the ... in the forests.Liz: And of course they have to go up the tree because by the time it's fallen food isn't any good . Sara: That's right. They're Qulling them down and he said they were very good at urn ... recognizing which ones were ready and which ones were a bit hard and etc, and each of them had a sort of stick with a hook at the end which they were using to pull the pines off ... off the trees but clearly it wasn't enough to sit around and wait till they fell down. You ... you had to do something about it. There they were. So that was er ... the end of my looking at the ruins for about half an hour. I was too fascinated by this er .. , strange form of er ... agriculture.Liz: Well, what you don't intend to see is always the mostinteresting. Sara: Much more interesting.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.Part 2 PassageWindmills1.Now, windmills are poised to break into a new frontier: the modern city center,often fused into building designs and barely noticeable from a distance.2.Lighter, quieter, and often more effIcient than their rural counterparts, theytake advantage of the extreme turbulence and rapid shifts in direction thatcharacterize urban wind patterns.3.But so far, the current models are being designed more for public or commercialbuildings than for private homes, and the smallest weigh roughly 200 kilograms.4.The recent liberalization of European energy markets also has allowedcustomers to choose what kind of sustainable energy they want to purchase, with wind energy among the most popular.In the classrooms down below, there's no palpable sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid.The graceful wooden windmills that have broken up the flat Dutch landscape for centuries a national symbol like wooden shoes and tulips - yielded long ago to ungainly metal-pole wind turbines.*Now, windmills are poised to break into a new frontier: the modem city center, often fused* into building designs and barely noticeable from a distance.Though still in its teething stages, the "urban turbine" is a high-tech windmill designed to generate energy from the rooftops of bustling cities.Lighter, quieter, and often more efficient than their rural counterparts, they take advantage of the extreme turbulence* and rapid shifts in direction thatcharacterize urban wind patterns.Prototypes* have been successfully tested in several Dutch cities, and the city government in the Hague has recently agreed to begin a large-scale deployment in 2003.These very visible projects also improve the public profile of wind power, making energy companies look environmentally correct.Current models cost US$8,000 to US$12,000, and can generate between 3,000 and 7,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A typical Dutch household uses 3,500 kilowatt hours per year, while in the United States, this figure jumps to around 10,000 kilowatt hours.But so far, they are being designed more for public or commercial buildings than for private homes. The smallest of the current models weigh roughly 200 kilograms and can be installed on a roof in a few hours without using a crane.Germany, Finland and Denmark have also been experimenting with the technology, but the ever-practical Dutch are natural pioneers in urban wind power, mainly because of the lack of space there.The Netherlands, with 16 million people crowded into a country twice the size of Slovenia, is the most densely populated in Europe.The scarcity of land also is felt in the countryside, forcing traditional wind farms to seek new locations. Offshore wind farms are more common, but remain pricey and difficult to service.Various European initiatives to increase the viability* of sustainable energyBut in the classrooms down below, there's no palpable* sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid. Nor is there the kind of visual blight* often ssociated with modern windmills.also have given the urban turbine a boost, leading to heightened interest in "zero-energy" buildings that generate their own power.The recent liberalization of European energy markets also has allowed customers to choose what kind of sustainable energy they want to purchase, with wind energy among the most popular.Windmills are usually noisy, though the latest models are considered quiet enough to blend into the background noise that already exists in the urban environment.In the Dutch town of Ede, whose old wooden mill now generates more tourism than energy, the new windmill on the roof of the ROVC Technical School hardly makes a whisper as its blades spin in a brisk winter breeze. If the wind is blowing really hard, you can usually hear it a little bit on the roof.But in the classrooms down below, there’s no palpable sign that a steel windmill up above is continually feeding kilowatts to the local power grid. Nor is the kind of visual blight often associated with modern windmills.Meanwhile, projects are under way to use the windmills to generate power for lifeboats, streetlights, and portable generators.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionHolland, I think, is the country noted for windmills. We seldom have the chances to see the real ones, but sometimes we can find them in some amusement parks. Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Tim Johnston reports from Jakarta. That presents a number of challenges for the government of President Megawati Sukamoputri *.Indonesia has been reliant on funding from the IMF since its economy almost collapsed during the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s.The country now owes billion dollars to the IMF, and it has said that it will repay the money over six years. In order to satisfy the fund's conditions - and reassure* investors - IMF officials will still monitor the country's finances.Some economists are worried that without the steadying hand of the IMF, the administration will be less inclined to tackle reforms that are politically sensitive, but necessary.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an announcement made by Indonesia to leave the International Monetary Fund loan program at the end of the year.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.News Item 2US EconomyMost analysts had expected the GDP number to be one percentage point lower than what was actually the case. The Commerce Department says the economy moved ahead in large part because of a surge* in defense spending, which was up 44 percent from the same period a year ago. The housing sector was also strong because of low interest rates, which are at their lowest level in 45 years.Drew Matus, an analyst at Lehman Brothers in New York, is encouraged by the apparent rebound* in capital investment.A second report also lifted stock prices as investors began to think that the long-expected pickup in growth may be actually occurring. First-time claims for unemployment benefits fell back last week to their lowest level in five weeks.

The Conference Board predicts US Gross Domestic Product will rise only about percent this year.But Board economist Ken Goldstein says the worst of the recession is probably over. The US job market is stabilizing; American consumers are showing new strength and, generally, the stage is set for a major turnaround* in corporate* profits.So there's a process here in terms of easing out of the profit squeeze, ofeasing out of the consumer decline, and slowly, we are not there yet, of moving out of the global slowdown, that is helping domestically to build up this head of steam toward a new expansion, that could be under way by Spring.Consumers hold the key to a rebound, accounting for about two-thirds of the US economy.Confidence slipped last year. Spending was down. But the Conference Board believes that is all in the past.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about a prediction of the US economic prospect.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following passage.The Conference Board predicts US Gross Domestic Product will rise only about percent this year, but the worst of the recession is probably over.

But the Conference Board believes that is all in the past.Section Four Supplemmentary ExercisesPart 1 Feature ReportUN Business ConferenceUN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said many times that the world organization will remain relevant only if it involves other institutions - universities, non-governmental groups and private businesses - in its mission. The two-day conference on business titled "Aid and Trade" features four major seminars and more than 150 exhibits sponsored by both nations and private companies.Significantly, the conference is not being held at a UN facility but at New York's Javits Convention Center, the scene of numerous business and trade fairs.While some of the more than 500 attendees from business and government listened to speeches, others mingled with* representatives of the various businesses and countries that had set up booths*.Reinhart Helmke, Director of the UN Office for Project Services and chief organizer of the conference, says the main purpose of the event is to demonstrate that globalization is for everyone."Globalization is probably the best opportunity that has been given to mankind in a very long period of time. Let us make the best out of it that we can. Let us use the free flow of information and the potential of large-based participation to carry this out in a cooperative fashion which must include allsegments of civil society, obviously including the business sector that has notbeen much included in the past."Mr Helmke says the partnerships can involve direct UN participation orprivate sector investment/in countries. One outstanding UN project, he says, is the world organization's partnership withEricsson, the Swedish telecommunications company. The company maintains an emergency response team that provides telecommunications capabilities at the scenes of natural disasters suchas the recent flooding in Mozambique.One of the conference participants is Michael Storey, head of Inmarsat, a British-based voice and data transmission company. He says the work that his ftrm and other communications companies are doing in developing nations provides a catalyst* for greater economic development."I believe that telecommunications, and particularly information technologyand the Internet, is the great factor for total economic development into this new millennium*."Larry Clarkson, a former vice president of the Boeing Aircraft Company and now a consultant told the conference it is very important to have global rules involving trade and investment to prevent businesses from exploiting people inpoorer nations. At the same time, however, Mr Clarkson says governments of developing nations must also uphold rules of behavior.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a two-dav UN conference on business opened in New York which demonstrates that globalization is for everyone.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

It embraces four cities and threedistricts in one vast urban sprawl.3.Looking back at the changing skyline of the central business district, you will seethe dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings.4.Experience the fine food fare at some of the city's 800 restaurants, which coverthe full spectrum from exotic Asian dishes to distinctive Pacific Rim style cuisine.5.The area was greatly sought after as a desirable place to live, with everypossible amenity, and the same is true today.Imagine a modem, cosmopolitan* city of one million people sprawling over an area twice the size of London. Imagine that this city has a sunny climate with average temperatures of 20°C in summer, 13°C in winter and a moderate meter annual rainfall.Visualise this place built on 50 dormant volcanic cones between two beautiful harbors, where everyone lives within a 30-minute drive of white sand beaches, lush rainforest, over 20 regional parks and a maritime playground embracing* 50 islands. This place is Auckland.Little wonder then that this uniquely exciting twin-harbor city attracts million overseas visitors each year and is regarded as having one of the best lifestyles and family environments in the world.Auckland is the main gateway to New Zealand and our largest city. It actually embraces four cities and three districts in one vast urban sprawl *. The cities are Auckland, North Shore, Manukau and Waitakere and the districts are Rodney, Papakura and Franklin.The best way to view Auckland city is from the Waitemata Harbor. Regular passenger ferries glide across the sparkling waters to Devonport and the Hauraki Gulf islands of Motutapu, Motuihe, Waiheke and Rangitoto. Rangitoto'ssymmetrical volcano is an Auckland icon. Looking back at the changing skyline of the central business district you will see the dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings. It's the highest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive "coat hanger" shape of the Harbor Bridge rises solidly in the upper harbor. The Waitemata often presents a brilliant kaleidoscope of movement and form. Brightly-colored spinnakers billow out from straining stays as hundreds of racing yachts sail on the edge of a stiff breeze and sleek power boats zap out to picturesque island beaches.Auckland is well named as the "City of Sails" because of its association with round-the-world yacht races and the America's Cup. Stroll down the main commercial precinct*, Queen Street, and enjoy leisurely shopping in intimate arcades and boutique* stores spread throughout the downtown area. Visit the large modern shopping malls in a number of suburban areas. Experience the fine food fare at some of the city's 800 restaurants, which cover the full spectrum from exotic Asian dishes to distinctive Pacific Rim* style cuisine.From lower Queen Street you soon reach the harbor front. Here you will find the modern, stylish Viaduct Harbor, pulsating with life in the many bars, cafes and restaurants - a happy haven for super yachts from all parts of the globe. In Queen Street and the entertainment district of "" you will notice the cosmopolitan nature of Auckland - a cultural mix of European, Polynesian and Asian influences. The city is unique as it has the largest concentration of Polynesian peoples in the world. Early Maori inhabitants knew the Waitemata Harbor as Tamaki Makarau, "thePlace of a Thousand Lovers". The area was greatly sought after as a desirable place to live, with every possible amenity * . The same is true today, as you will discover during your exploration of the city and environs.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionPerhaps there are three main characteristics. First, New Zealand's national identity comes from the combination of European and Polynesian. Second, New Zealand takes a community approach to problems. People believe in social equality, and have established a welfare system to get rid of the fear of poverty. Third, both English and Maori are official languages.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirection~: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1.Auckland has a sunny climate with average temperature of 20 'C in summer, 13'C in winter and a moderate metre annual rainfall.2.It is situated on 50 dormant volcanic cones between two beautiful harbors.3.Because it has one of the best lifestyles and family environments in the world.4.It consists of four cities (Auckland, North Shore, Manukau and Waitakere) andthree districts(Rodney, Papakura and Franklin). It is the largest city in New Zealand.5.The Sky Tower is the highest not only in Auckland, but also in the SouthernHemisphere.6.It is a "coat hanger" shape.7.Because it is associated with round-the-world yacht races and the America's Cup.8.Queen Street and the entertainment district of '' represent a cultural mix.Exercise D After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1.The best way to view Auckland city is from the Waitemata Harbor. Regularpassenger ferries glide across the sparkling waters to the islands. Rangitoto's symmetrical volcano is an Auckland icon. Looking back at the changing skyline of the CBD (the central business district) you will see the dominant spire of the Sky Tower dwarfing high-rise buildings. It's the highest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive "coat hanger" shape of the Harbor Bridge rises。

Lesson 14A noble gangster贵族⽍徒Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录⾳，然后回答以下问题。
How did Haywood make money in times of peace?There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for 'protection.' If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining 'protection money' is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.Six hundred years ago, Sir Johan Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero.

Unit 14 WomenPart BExercise 1Most women in France work. Their average salary is about 75% that of their male co-workers, even though laws passed in 1972 require "professional equality" between the sexes. The good news is that women are increasingly moving into middle management. A handful are top executives. The higher their position, the harder it is to balance family and career. A 38-year-old woman who graduated from the prestigious National School of Administration remembers that when she took a senior post in a ministry, her male colleagues assured her, "You are one of us, one of the guys." But when she became a mother, they stuck to age-old traditions that she couldn't follow ¡ª long lunches and late-night meetings. "It was too much pressure and I felt like I was being sabotaged," she says. For those who want to balance family with a job, as opposed to a high-pressure, high-visibility career, France is a haven. Women marry later, on average, than in America ¡ª at age 25. And they stay in the workforce. Part-time jobs are easy to find. Maternity benefits are generous, with over six months of paid leave. Women who've raised three or more children are entitled to a state-funded pension. The quality of publicly funded education for children is high. And abortion is not only legal, but it's paid for by the state. French businesswomen dress elegantly, argue intelligently and play hardball at the negotiating table. They show their wit, intellect, ability to make puns and understanding of politics, history and literature. Unlike most American female executives who dress conservatively in a dark, not particularly flattering suit, with no jewelry and little makeup, Frenchwomen see no need to abandon femininity and elegance in the business world. They prefer soft colors, stylish clothes, silk scarves, manicured nails, light makeup, and simple but elegant jewelry.Questions1. What do you know about French businesswomen2. What does the speaker intend to say through the passage about French businesswomen3. What is implied in the passage about French businesswomenExercise 1Women and men are not created equal. Mother Nature favors her own sex when it comes to longevity, with women living about seven years ¡ª or 10% ¡ª longer than men. Still, men actually get a head start in the battle of the sexes, since male babies outnumber female babies by 115 to 100. But by about age 30, women have caught up with men numerically, and they then leave men in the dust, with three women alive for every man by age 85. But there's the paradox: While women live longer than men,they're generally sicker. Men tend to die from rapidly fatal health problems such as heart attacks, accidents,suicides and homicides. Women, on the other hand, tend to develop lingering illnesses that often cause years of discomfort. Women spend twice as much money on health care as men do. They also consult doctors more frequently, take more drugs, spend more days in hospitals and have more operations. They also take more sick time off from work. Why The chief causes seem to be genes, hormones and interactions of the two. Many women suffer from chronic conditions like muscle and joint pain, sleep disorder, anxiety, headaches, and fatigue. There is no known cause for them, but they probably result from the body's abnormal response to stress. Women may be more likely than men to have these diseases simply because they are under more stress. A woman is often under tremendous stress to fulfillwhat she sees as her obligations to her family, her community and her employer. Researchers still know little about women's health. There is clearly a need for more research into why women come down with chronic illnesses and what can be done about it.Questions1. What is the main idea of the passage2. What is the speaker's attitude toward women's health problemsStatements1. Women live ten years longer than men.2. The number of women gradually exceeds that of men by age 30.3. Women spend more money on medicine because they are often seriously ill.4. A woman bears a greater responsibility to her family, community and employer than a man does.5. Women can cope with stress better than men.6. Men are likely to die from rapidly fatal health problems while women often complain about stress-related diseases.7. There's still much to be discovered about women's health.Part CMore and more women today can be found in top positions in business and industry. An example of this trend is Jennifer Bradbury. After a very successful career as a model, she became a clothes designer. Then,with money she had saved and borrowed, she bought part of a small company that manufactured sportswear and became one of its directors. As she says, it was then that "the real battle began". The other directors often asked her opinions about the design and the color of the company's products but they refused to believe she understood anything about the "hard side of business". Jennifer gives an example. She says, "The company sold its sportswear only through small specialist shops. I was sure we would never increase our sales unless we sold through big department stores and even supermarkets. The other two directors didn't like the idea at all at first. They were afraid we would lose some of our traditional customers if we did what I wanted. I think part of the trouble was they didn't take the idea very seriously simply because it came from a woman." But Jennifer and her ideas are certainly taken very seriously now. Under her leadership, the company has increased its sales and the number of customers. It also manufactures a much wider variety of sports clothes, many of them designed by Jennifer herself.Questions1. What does Jennifer do now2. How were the company's products sold in the past3. What does Jennifer mean by "the real battle"[02:]4. What can you learn about Jennifer from the passage。

The buildings and objects provide a realistic and complete picture of what life may have been like in this time during the history of the Roman
Most of the people of Pompeii escaped the eruption carrying with them most of their belongings. After the eruption they tunneled in and around the houses and buildings and carried off their most valuable and movable belongings, even to the extent of removing the slabs of marble floors. For this reason few objects of great value have ever been found at Pompeii. Most of the moveable objects that have been found, like wall paintings and wall mosaics, have been moved to a museum.

One of the most significant aspects of the discoveries at Pompeii is the remarkable preservation of the objects that have been found. The showers of the cinders and ashes formed a hermetic seal about the town preserving the buildings and many valuable objects. They have also found bodies of people in the ruins that were perfectly preserved, including some Roman Gladiators.
Pompeii is an ancient city of Italy. It is located a few miles south of Mount Vesuvius. The city was founded about 600BC. It was a favorite resort for wealthy Romans. It had a population of about 20,000. The city was badly damaged by a earthquake in 63AD and was completely demolished in 79AD by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
