Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviewsA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B: Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, andhelps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing.

Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.Key:1.

TTask 2 Are you ready for a phone interviewScript and keyNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you're job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer's title (Mr. or Ms. and their lastname), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions and key1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?B) To test candidates' psychological stability when thcy speak on the phone.2. What can you infer from the speaker's recommendation of compiling a list ofinformation about yourself.C) Without it, you may become disorganized while being interviewed3.

Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on the phone?D) All of the above.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScript and keyYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package”yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resume?3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions accordingto the passage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?5. What is the passage mainly about?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women.I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for.And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering. John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.John:Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.MODEL2 Do you have any tips for a successful interview? ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don’t want a completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.Susan: Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday.John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company. Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself. Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from the competition. ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don’t believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing. Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans.A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow.A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday.I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptVoice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company. T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundredpeople work at the company's call centre in Greenock, which was set up onlyfive years ago; 760 of them are employed in handling customer calls and theyare managed by 70 team managers and 10 operations managers. In alarge-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and training is theresponsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department. Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role oftraining. The theory behind is, these are the people who are doing the job, arein the best place to train that job to other people.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, anopportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported(6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people(10) realisticVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy.I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here.M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilitieswere to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuadea potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models. However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many goodqualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how tohandle them properly.Why should we choose you? T o this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how”to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should wechoose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is impor tant to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A:Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.Key:1.

TTask 2 Are you ready for a phone interviewScript and keyNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you're job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer.

Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resume?3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to the passage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5.

Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women.I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper? Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field. Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.John:Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.MODEL2 Do you have any tips for a successful interview?ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don’t wanta completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.Susan: Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday. John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from the competition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don’t believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company. Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans. A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow. A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptV oice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company.T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundred people work at thecompany's call centre in Greenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of them areemployed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team managers and 10operations managers. In a large-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and trainingis the responsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department.Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role of training. The theory behind is,these are the people who are doing the job, are in the best place to train that job to otherpeople.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, an opportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported (6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people (10) realistic VI.

And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you. M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented. W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models.However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.

Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1.

Unit 9Part OneAlice: Listen! The sound of that music! It...it's fascinating! Where...where is it from?Xiao Hong: Oh, I...I don't know actually.Henry: Over there! Shall we go take a closer look?Alice & Xiao Hong: OK.Xiao Hong: Oh, it's a kind of Chinese folk instrument called pipa.Alice: Wow, what a beautiful musical instrument!Xiao Hong: Sure.Henry: What's more, it makes such a marvelous sound!Xiao Hong: Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that. Actually, our folk instruments are quite unique. You know, the sound is beautiful and, as you see, it looks good. But, still, unfortunately, they are getting less popular these days.Alice: Really? That's incredible. You know, our Scottish bagpipes, which are some of the oldest instruments in the world, are still quite popular.Xiao Hong: Well, I'm afraid it's not the case in our country. Y ou know, I'm not exaggerating. Nowadays the vast majority of young people prefer western music to Chinese folk music, and they think Chinese folk music and classical instruments are old-fashioned.Henry: What a pity! Many people listen to bagpipes and they are heard on all kinds of different occasions. I wonder why Chinese folk instruments, as old as those bagpipes, are so little appreciated today.Xiao Hong: Well, I think historic reasons may partly account for it. You know, in ancient times, most of the Chinese folk instruments were used to please and entertain the nobles. You know, they were too expensive for ordinary people to own and play unless the poor played them in the street to earn a living.Alice: I know that some Chinese emperors loved music and had a good taste in it.Xiao Hong: Oh, yes, like Tang Xuanzong, but his ministers were firmly opposed to it. They believed that the emperor's attention might be distracted from ruling the country if he spent too much time on music. And they seemed to think of music as something trifling and unimportant. Henry: But things are quite different in our country. Our people are extremely interested in music, and are very proud of our traditions. We view music as part of our lives.Alice: Y eah, and our government spends a lot of money on music education. In the year 1999——2000 for example, the Department of Education spent 1.5 billion dollars on teaching music 1999so that lots of children had the chance to learn to play musical instruments.Xiao Hong: I do wish that more people would appreciate the exquisite melody of our folk instruments and be proud of our traditions.Henry: What's the difference between western music and Chinese music?Xiao Hong: Well, young people think that western music is more exciting and passionate. The rhythm is stronger, which makes them feel more excited. Well, on the other hand, the Chinese music is harmonious, soft, gentle, mild and calm. It helps make people feel peaceful, comfortable and relaxed.Alice: Y es, there are differences between Chinese music and...and western music, but one isn't really better than the other.Xiao Hong: No, no, no. Absolutely not. When I listen to Chinese music, the beautiful melodyalways reminds me of the beauty of nature, hills, streams, small bridges and the singing of birds. You know, the melody is like the music of the nightingale, the music of running water and etc. But western music is more upbeat and exciting. I get full of energy and I want to dance and sing with it. I like rock music better than folk music actually.Henry: Rock and roll has a long history in western countries. There are plenty of bands playing different kinds of rock and roll music, like heavy metal and punk.Xiao Hong: And most of our Chinese musical instruments are made of wood, bamboo or something like that, so the music sounds natural while yours nowadays are mostly made of metal and they seem to be much more complex.Alice: Right. Take our flutes for example. They have more holes and buttons, so they rely on very precise notes to produce music.Xiao Hong: What's more, western singers are usually good at dancing while they sing, but our singers are usually only good at singing.Henry: I suppose because of cultural differences, Chinese, like their music, are usually more reserved.Xiao Hong: There are still some people who prefer Chinese folk music. The pop music nowadaysis increasingly dominated by western music.Alice: I guess people are immediately attracted to western music, but Chinese music has the mysterious power to attract you without you realizing it.Xiao Hong: Y eah, Chinese traditional culture has made a deep impact on Chinese music. Y ou know, the music emphasizes people's feelings and is very emotional.Alice: I've heard that the structure of western music is more logical than that of Chinese music.Xiao Hong: I find that the lyrics are different too. Chinese people tend to express their emotions indirectly while western people are more direct and individualistic. They make full use of music and instruments to express their personal feelings, such as excitement, disappointment, love, sorrow and etc.Henry: Western music has absorbed many musical elements from African music. It places great importance on rhythm, such as heavy metal music, rock music, hip hop and so on.Alice: Yes, and, of course, we have a number of well-known composers these days.Henry: Mm, nowadays it seems that rock and pop music dominate the musical world. In many pieces of music, one instrument can be used in order to produce a distinct sense of perception.Xiao Hong: I guess, eventually, because of globalization, the differences between western music and Chinese music may become less noticeable. You know, in the future, the music may have a lot more in common than we have realized now.Alice: Oh, as far as pop music is concerned, what you say is probably true, but even though musicis a universal language, folk music shouldn't be changed.Xiao Hong: That's right. Don't you think it would be a good idea to buy some Chinese folk music CDs to take home with you?Alice & Henry: That's a good idea! Let's go to the CD shop.Exercise 21.C2.C3.C 4,W 5,W 6.C 7.C 8.C 9.C 10,W 11.W 12.W 13.C 14.W 15.W 16.C 17.W 18.WExercise 31.perfer old-fashioned2.as old as3.account for4.own play earn to living5.very proud of6.1.5 billion had the chance7.hillls small bridges singing of birds8.full of energy9.holes buttons precise notes 10.indirectly individualistic 11.places great importance12.a universal languagePartTwo Listening I(Bill, Howard, and Lisa are talking about background music.)Part IBill: What are you working on now?Howard: I've just finished a piece of background music.Lisa: Background music? Oh, like the music they're playing here now. Howard: Yes. You hear it everywhere, in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores... Bill: In banks, too. I noticed it while we were at the bank today.Lisa: Did you? I didn't.Howard: Y ou are not supposed to notice it. It's just there, in the background. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, and put you in the right mood.Lisa: I'm not sure I like that idea.Howard: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. 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 increased production by 4.5 percent.Bill: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.Howard: They don't though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."Lisa: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.Howard: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War II 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.Part IIBill: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?Howard: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was 22 minutes before that.Lisa: So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.Howard: Exactly. And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services. Lisa: I still think there's something about it that I don't quite like.Howard: I know what you mean, but lots of people wouldn't agree with you. The Xerox Corporation in Rochester, N. Y Corporation in Rochester, N. Y., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons ., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music.

They say it eases their minds.One doctor in Chicago says classical music is the only kind that does not interfere while he is operating. But in another Chicago operating room, the British rock group Pink Floyd can be heard. And in Washington, at least one doctor operates to the sound of the Beatles.Researchers from the State University of New Y ork at Buffalo did a study that seems to confirm that music helps reduce tension in doctors. They gave fifty male doctors difficult mathematical kinds of tests.The doctors did the test while listening to music they themselves had chosen. They did a similar test while listening to music that was chosen for them. They were tested a third time with no music at all. Each time, a machine measured their heart rate and blood pressure.The doctors worked most quickly and calmly when listening to the music they themselves had chosen. They did the worst with no music at all.What kinds of music did the doctors choose? Mostly classical. But some chose instrumental jazz pieces or Irish folk music.There probably is one piece of music that should never be played during an operation: Brahms' "Lullaby".

They were together for only eight years, but their influence has lasted much longer.The Beatles came from Liverpool, England. They started playing together in 1962, although Paul McCartney and John Lennon played together in another group. They started by playing rock'n' roll songs, but they quickly developed their own style. By 1963, they had become Britain's top rock group. A year later they toured the United States, where they attracted millions of fans.By the time the Beatles broke up in 1970, they had changed the nature of rock and pop music. They introduced new sounds and rhythms, and they experimented with different types of musical instruments. They recorded hundreds of songs and they sold millions and millions of records. They made many films and won many awards for their music.Today, the Beatles' songs are still very famous all over the world.Exercise 1B D A CExercise 21.their own style2.the nature3.sounds experimented4.songs records5.films awardsPractice Two(Dennis is interviewing Stephanie, a music teacher.)Dennis: Which do you think is the easiest instrument for people to learn to play?Stephanie: It's difficult to answer that question because learning to play an instrument is one thing, and learning to play it well is another. But I think the guitar is the easiest to learn. It's one of the easiest to carry, and that's important for a musician.Dennis: And the second?Stephanie: My second choice is probably the most popular instrument, and I think it's the most satisfying, too, because you can make more progress at the beginning. That's the piano.Dennis: So you think playing the piano's more difficult than playing the guitar.Stephanie: Yes, because, well, your left hand has to work as hard as your right and both hands have to make notes. With the guitar, you make the notes with the left hand, and the right just picksthe strings.Dennis: Is playing a woodwind or brass instrument very difficult? It looks quite easy.Stephanie: I think the clarinet and the trumpet are the easiest to learn. Finding the notes is quite easy and breathing isn't a serious problem. But I find all the wind instruments less satisfying for people to play, because you can't do much alone. You have to play with others.Dennis: And which do you think is the most difficult instrument to play?Stephanie: No doubt at all, the violin. And I think it's the most difficult because both hands have to work, but they have to do different jobs. I mean, the left hand makes the notes on the strings, andit's harder to find the notes than on the guitar because the strings are shorter. The right hand has to manage the bow, and bowing well is an art. Finally, the most difficult thing about it, I find, is holding the instrument under your chin. It's not a natural position to adopt.Exercise 11.(1)trumpet (2)piano (3)violin 2(2)piano (1)clarinetExercise 21.picks the strings2.as hard as3.makes the notes4.on the strings5.manages the bowExercise 31.learn2.carry3.popular4.satisfying5.progress6.easiest7.less satisfying8.most difficultPractice Three(Four people, Steve, Connie, Diane, and Martin, are giving their opinions about their favorite musicians before attending an international concert.)Steve: Oh, no doubt about it. My favorite's Bruce Springsteen. He's the best there is. I think he's more direct, he communicates better than the others. It's not that the others are bad, but he's better.In a way his kind of rock music's more old-fashioned than, er, Sting's, say, but for me it's moreexciting. And the messages in his songs are simpler. They're easier to understand than Sting's or Peter Gabriel's, so I can relate to them better.Connie: The singer I want to hear most is Peter Gabriel. He's not really one of my favorite singerssingers——I mean I don't think he's as exciting as Bruce Springsteen, for instance—but his latest songs, these African songs with African rhythms, well, they're more musical than pop songs usually are. And I think all the singers are sincere about the human rights movement, but he feels more deeply about it than the others.Diane: Oh, I think Sting and his band are the best. Sting's better now with his new band than during his time with the Police. He seems more natural and I think he enjoys playing more. And he's a much better songwriter now. The one I like most in the band is the sax-player, Branford Marsalis. He plays brilliantly, but the best thing about him is his sense of humor. He really makes me laugh!Martin: To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward most to hearing Youssou N'Dour. I like Peter Gabriel's African songs, but he's an Englishman, not an African, so it's not the same as the real thing. I mean, real African music is different from reggae and rock, because it's more rhythmic than reggae, but not as heavy as rock. The rhythms are very unusual, too, and more sophisticated than people think.Exercise 11.T 2,T 3,T 4.F 5.F 6.F 7.F 8.TExercise 2Musicians BruceSpringsteen Sting PeterGabrielBranfordMarsalisYoussouN’Dourbrilliant √ communicative √direct √exciting √musical √natural √Not so heavy √ humorous √rhythmic √ simpler √ sophisticated √ unusual √Practice FourIt has long been known that Cellist Yo-Yo Ma possesses astonishing musical talent. By age seven he had already played for Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals. Later he went to Juilliard and on to Harvard, where he studied international cultures. Soon he tasted stardom, giving concerts around the world.But he tells of a humbling experience while in Namibia, where he went to observe trance dances and musical rituals of the people. At the end of his stay he produced a cello and offered them a performance of his own. "They said, 'Stop. Don't play. We want to play for you, '" Ma remembers with a laugh. "I think I was too self-important to bring my cello. They didn't give adamn."His story is one of a star realizing that not everyone knows or cares who he is. "To be a good performer, you have to have a very strong ego," he says. "But to be a really good performer, you have to make sure that your ego is not the center. To play Beethoven, you have to figure out who he was, and how that's encoded in the music. And then you have to realize you are not Beethoven."Exercise 11.A2.B3.A4.C5.AExercise 21.T2.N3.T4.F5.TPart FourSection 1Some people called John Lennon the "thinking man's Beatle". He was serious and creative, and many young people of the 1960s and 1970s thought he spoke for them.Lennon was born on October 9,1940, in Liverpool, England. During his childhood he listened to the music of rock 'n' roll singers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. At 15, when he was in an art school, Lennon started his first band, the Quarrymen. The band included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best, a drummer.The Quarrymen later changed their name to the Silver Beatles and then the Beatles. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as drummer. Between 1958 and 1962 the group played in nightclubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, West Germany. Then the Beatles made a record called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and changed the history of rock 'n' roll.Many people think that Lennon was the most important singer and songwriter of the Beatles. In general, his songs are sensitive and intelligent, and they still influence today's popular musicians.On December 8, 1980, a confused young man shot John Lennon outside his apartment building in New York City. A few days later, thousands of people gathered in New York's Central Park to remember him. For them, and for many other people in the world, he was someone very special.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.F6.T7.T8.TSection IIRock began in the U.S.A. in the early 1950s. At that time, "rhythm and blues" music was very popular with black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast lyrics.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this new white R&B music, called "rock 'n' roll", had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock 'n' roll was very dangerous.Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. There are "heavy metal" which is extremely loud with hard rhythms, "reggae" from Jamaica that combines rock with jazz and Latin rhythms, "rap" that hasdeveloped on the streets of New York, "disco", a type of soft rock music for dancing, "Afro-rock" that combines rock with African rhythms, "Mex-rock", which combines rock with traditional Mexican melodies...and many, many more.1 2√ 3 4√ 5 6 7√ 8√ 9 10√ 11 12√Section IIIBig Big Worldby Emilia*I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do do feel that I do do will miss you muchMiss you muchI can see the first leaf fallingIt's all yellow and niceIt's so very cold outsideLike the way I'm feeling inside(Repeat the part marked with "*".)Outside it's now rainingAnd tears are falling from my eyesWhy did it have to happenWhy did it all have to end(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I have your arms around meWarm like fireBut when I open my eyes, you're gone(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do feel I will miss you muchMiss you much1.falling2.nice3.cold4.inside5.raining6.tears7.happen8.arms9.fire 10,gone。

新编大学英语视听说book3Unit4听力答案及文本1Unit 4Part OneListening IFor many of you this will be your last year at university and now is the time for you to begin thinking seriously about your future careers. In order to give you as much help as possible, I have quoted a list of questions that you ought to ask yourself.First, "Have I got a clear knowledge of my abilities as well as my interests?" Be honest about your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Take a really good look at yourself and give real thought to the kind of person you are, and what kind of person you want to be.Second, "Do I know the kinds of occupations in which people like myself tend to find success and satisfaction?" Talk to people who have similar abilities and interests and who are already in the careers that interest you. You can gain some idea of what they consider to be important and challenging in those careers. Watch these people at work.Third, "Have I weighed carefully the immediate advantages against the long-term prospects offered by the jobs I am considering?" Will the occupation you select give you satisfaction in the years to come? Realize now the importance of education in all fields, technical and professional. Remember that chances of promotion are usually given to educated persons—other things being equal.Fourth, "Have I talked with my parents, my teachers and my headmaster?" Remember they have a lot of experience that you can benefit from. They can help you think about the jobs. Theycan stimulate you to give careful thought to what you really want to do, and offer useful suggestions about how you might take full advantage of your personal qualities and qualifications.Last, "How do I regard my job? Is it just a means of getting money to do the things that I want to do? Is the work important to my future happiness? Is it a combination of both?"The above questions and their answers should give you some better ideas about how you should start planning your career. Your life-long job cannot be approached in any kind of haphazard fashion. It must be considered carefully, examined from every angle, and talked over with those who know you and those who can help you in any way.Exercise 12、4、5、6、8Exercise 21. weaknesses2. similar abilities and interests / interest you/ important and challenging3. education/ promotion/ educated persons4. parents/ teachers / benefit /give careful thought /useful suggestions / personal qualities5. getting money / our future happiness/ combinationListening II(Here's a dialog between a woman whose job is to help people find jobs and a man looking for a job.)Woman: Look. Here's a job that might interest you.Man: What is it? Are you sure? The last job interview you sent me off to was a disaster.Woman: Well, look. It says they want a sales manager, and it looks like it's a big international company. That'd be good. Youmight get to travel.Man: What kind of company is it, though?Woman: Um, let's see. Yes, it's a textile company that seems to import from abroad. They say the salary is really good. They operate a system of paying you a basic salary and then offering you a sales commission on top of that. They say it is high. And oh, look! They give you a car to travel round in. That's not bad, is it?Man: Um, do they say anything about experience?Woman: Um, let's see. No, they want someone young with ambition and enthusiasm. Oh yes, they want graduates, so that's OK. You've been to university. Now what else? Let's see.Man: There must be some catch.Woman: No, the only thing is you have to travel, but then that's what the company car's for. Oh, and you have to be able to get on well with other people because it says you have to be good on a team.Man: Um, perhaps I'll have a closer look at that one.Exercise 11. D2. D3. A4. BExercise 21. import from abroad2. sales manager3. salary4. sales commission5. travel in6. experience7. university8. on a teamListening IIIInterviewer: Some people feel that their jobs are misunderstood by others. Is that very common?Sociologist: Oh, absolutely. Most jobs or professions have an image or stereotype attached to them, and some of these are not realistic. The serious point is that young people choose their careers based on these false images, and they may even avoid certain careers which have a negative image. This can cause problems for the economy.Interviewer: Is there evidence of this problem?Sociologist: Yes, there was a recent survey of children's attitudes to different professions.Interviewer: How was this done? Children don't know much about jobs and professions.Sociologist: True. What the investigators wanted to get was children's impressions and prejudices. They gave the children twelve pairs of statements, one of the pair positive, and the other negative. Children were asked to say which of the statements was "most true" for each profession.Interviewer: For example?Sociologist: Well, for example, "Such and such a person is likely to be boring or interesting company."Interviewer: I see. What professions did they ask about?Sociologist: The list is long, but it included lawyers, economists, accountants, sales representatives, scientists and engineers.Interviewer: And the results?Sociologist: Well, they are striking, especially for engineerswho came out much worse than one might expect. About 90 percent of the children thought that engineering was a "dirty job", of "low status", and the engineer was more likely to take orders than to give them. The only other person they thought more likely to lose his job was the sales representative. But, there were good points too. Engineering was seen to be "interesting, well-paid work".Interviewer: Hmm, not a rosy picture.Sociologist: No, but it got better when children were asked what they thought of the engineer as a person. Most of them chose positive comments, but most thought the engineer was likely to be badly dressed.Interviewer: What about other professions? What were the most popular?Sociologist: Oh, the lawyers by far. Next came accountants and scientists as well as economists. The engineers and sales representatives were the least popular.Interviewer: Sounds like a sign of the times.Sociologist: Yes, but I think the most serious implication was the children's apparent ignorance of the importance of the engineer's role in society.Exercise 11. choose their careers2. avoid certain careers3.different professions4. impressions and prejudices5. lawyers6. accountants7. scientists8. most popular9. least popular 10. ignoranceExercise 21. T2. F3. T4. F5.

Megan: Fisherman! Why would you want to be a fisherman?Tim: Believe it or not, i’m really fascinated by the ocean. I like spending time in the ocean and I think if you go out on those boats and get away from the land, you really get in touch with the sea.Megan: Is it dangerous, though?Tim: Oh, it can be dangerous, for sure. You can get caught in storms. It can be rough sometimes.Megan: Do you get paid a lot of money?Tim: Not so much, but that is not necessarily vital. You know, you can work with nature. You can catch healthful food, provide for yourself, and I think that’s really fulfilling. How about you , Megan? What do you think would be a cool job?Megan: I think I would like to be a writer.Tim: Why is t hat? Lots of writers don’t succeed in making much of a living.Megan:Well, being a movie star would be exciting too, or a rock star, but the fame is overwhelming—too many peoplealways want to talk to you or want your autograph. I think as a writer, you are doing something you love without all that pressure or the media coming after you, and you can sort of make your own workk schedule and do it where you like. You can write in the countryside in a cabin, or you can write in the city wherever you please. So, I think it is a very flexible, rewarding job.Tim: Yeah, you’ve got to have the aptitude for it, though. Do you think you have what it takes?Megan: No, not yet. I’m a terrible writer. But anyway, if I could have my pick of jobs, I’d like to be a writer.Exercise 11. C2. A3. C4. B5. DExercise 21. occupation, cool2. catch, provide, fulfilling3. media coming after you, making your own work schedule4. have my pick of jobsPart 4Further ListeningListening IThere are at least 100 million workers in the Unites States. Most of them are on the job 35 to 40 hours a week. Their typical day includes seven to eight hours of work. Usually, they have a 15-minute coffee break in the morning and in the afternoon. But work schedules vary from job to job.White-collar workers—office workers and manyprofessionals—usually have "nine to five" jobs. They begin at 9:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. "Blue-collar" workers—mechanics, electricians, and laborers—often work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In many factories, blue-collar workers come to work in eight-hour shifts. Typically, these shifts start at 8:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m., and midnight. Finally, sales people and managers in retail stores work on Monday and Thursday nights, when the stores are open. Many retail workers also work on Saturdays, and some work on Sundays.These are the normal schedules for most American workers. However, many businesses now use a new system called "flex-time scheduling". Under this system, the employees choose their own working hours. Some people work from 8:00 to 4:00 five days a week. Some work from 9:00 to 5:00. Other people work 10 or 12 hours a day four days a week. Employees and managers are both happy with the system. The employees like the freedom of choice, so they work hard. The managers, of course, like the hard-working employees.What, then, is a typical work schedule? It depends on the job—and on the workers.Exercise:1. 100 million2. 35 to 403. 7 to 84. office workers, many professionals5. 8:00 to 4:006. eight-hour shifts7.

It's May now, isn't it? Yes, I joined last August in fact.Man: August in 1996.Woman: Yes.Man: What did you do before that?Woman: I used to work for a travel agency in London.Man: It was interesting, wasn't it?Woman: Not really. It was just secretarial work, rather like this job. And it wasn't too well-paid. But I took a secretarial course when I left school and I couldn't think what else to do.Man: So you went straight from school into a secretarial course, didn't you?Woman: Well, not quite. I left school when I was 16, in 1989, I think it was. And then I went to work in a hotel in Austria for a year, to learn some German.Man: Austria? Why Austria?Woman: I don't know really. Well, we used to go there on holiday quite often when we were younger, and, well, I like Austria actually. Anyway then I went back and did the secretarial course. That was a year's course.Man: And then you got the job at the travel agency I suppose.Woman: Yeah, that's right. That was in 1991.Man: So you were there for five years!Woman: Yes, it's awful, isn't it? Actually, I'm thinking of giving it all up to become a nurse.Man: Really?Woman: Well, I worked in a hospital in Twickenham during my last year at school. Just cleaning and helping to make bedsand so on. It was part of our Practical Careers training.Man: And you liked it?Woman: Yes, it was interesting.Exercise1. A2. D3. C4. A5. DListening IIIMan: Well, now then, one thing I'd like to ask is, er, exactly why you applied for the job. I mean, just looking at your application form, you're actually over-qualified...Woman: Yes, I thought you might ask that. Um, the thing is, in my present job, although I'm actually in charge of a small team and I have a lot of responsibility, it's largely a desk job with a lot of paperwork...Man: And you're not too keen on being stuck in an office all day?Woman: To be honest, no, I'm not. I much prefer being out on site where I can supervise things, and deal with problems as they occur. And this job should give me the kind of contact with other engineers, architects, builders and so on.Man: Mmm. You'd certainly have to do quite a lot of traveling in the local area, you know, visiting different sites. You do realize, though, that the starting salary isn't as good as the salary in your present job?Woman: Yes, I realize that, but um, it does say in the job advertisement that the promotion prospects are very good.Man: That's true, and er, as this is a new project that we'reworking on, we think there'll be a very good chance of fairly quick promotion, depending on performance, that is...Woman: Yes, of course. Well, you see, I've got very little chance of promotion in my present job.I mean it's a very small company and there's nowhere really for me to go; that's why I'm looking around for somewhere else.Exercise1. C2. B3. D4. C5. AListening IVDavid: Hi! You're listening to Radio Southwest, the best in the southwest for music andup-to-the-minute news. Sue's here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David: And we've got the Jobspot for you today. So, if you're looking for a new job, this could be the spot for you. So, let's have a look, and see what we've got today.Sue: Well, the first one we've got is a cook. That's in a large, busy restaurant, so it's very useful to have had experience in cooking. Must be a high school graduate and the pay is $12 an hour. So that's not bad, is it? The hours are good too. That's Monday to Friday, 3:00 p.m. till 6:00 p.m.David: Great. Thanks, Sue. So that's a cook. Now, how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? So as long as you're fit and strong, and at least 16 years old, that'll suit you. The pay is $8 an hour. And the hours, Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you have to work on Sundayonce a month, but on Monday the Garden Center's closed. Now, the sort of work you'd be doing is potting, watering, things like that. So, how about applying for that? Pay, $8 an hour. Sue, what else have you got?Sue: Right, Dave. Well, from outdoors to indoors. We've got a word processor operator job here. This job might suit a woman with school-age children, because the hours are only 15 hours a week. It's a small, friendly office, and they require a high school graduate with two years' experience operating a computer. Pay is $9 per hour. So, there you go. That's a nice job in an office. If you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on Jobspot at Radio Southwest. And now back to the music.Exercise 11. C2. A3. B4. D5. BExercise 21. ADF2. BF3. ACE。

She made a point of telling her fellow crew members about this.Because it was April 1st, April Fool's Day, the day people play tricks on one another,the captain decided to have a little fun.About an hour before landing, he made an announcement that went like this: "Ladiesand Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. I have a little bit of bad news. There'resome thunderstorms at our destination, and they've currently closed the airport. Theyexpect it to reopen in about 30 minutes to an hour. As one might expect, this willresult in long delays. As we've come all the way from the West Coast, we don't evenhave enough fuel to circle until the airport reopens. Therefore, we are going to bediverting to Cleveland, and we should be landing in about 30 minutes. We'll takesome fuel there and get you back on your way to our original destination. I’m terriblysorry for the delay. However, we’11 get you there just as soon as possible."It was at this moment that you could hear someone running up to the cockpit. Thecockpit door flew open, and sure enough it was the lead flight attendant mumblingsomething like, "This can’t be happening. What shall I do?" As she went on painfully,the captain made another announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, happy April Fool'sDay!”Key1.T2.F3.T4.F5.TTask3 what to do for mom?ScriptYoung men and women, tomorrow will be Mother's Day. Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a hair clip with a touch of difference. Checked out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and give it to her if you can afford it.You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a cat’s picture on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Make her feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible, take one with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside could show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.Key(1)buy(2)office wear(3)likes(4)cats(5)pet(6)time(7)special dish(8)little party(9)little trip(10)countrysideIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Eat, drink and be merry on Christmas.ScriptNora: My mother bought an enormous 25-pound turkey for Christmas dinner. I'm so excited!Susan: (1) We have goose and ham for Christmas dinner on both Christmas Eve and Christmas night.Nora:Our traditional Christmas dinner is a turkey, so gigantic that (2) we eat leftovers for days.Susan: Chris swears (3) he'll refuse a huge dinner and stick to a healthy meal of tofu and salad.Nora: No way. He's kidding! Wait till he sees what his mother cooks: roast turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and plum pudding for dessert! Susan:(4) We heap up our presents under the tree and open them on Christmas morning.Nora: We open one Christmas Eve, more Christmas morning, and the rest the next day.Susan: Wow! (5) Your family prolongs the celebration for three days!Nora: We start by decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, putting ornaments, lights and artificial snowflakes on it.Susan: Do you hang stockings by the fireplace and have a star on top of the tree?Nora: Yes. And we have another activity. We also "give not expecting to get".Susan: That's a peculiar expression. What do you mean by that?Nora: It's secret giving. We sneak up to the door of somebody we want to give a gift to, ring the doorbell, and run.Susan: So, you're not expecting anything; you're just being generous. That's a kind-hearted gesture.Nora: (6) Isn't that what the true spirit of Christmas is supposed to be?MODEL2 The Pilgrims' spirit of Thanksgiving lives on.ScriptChris: Will Nora be spending Thanksgiving with us this year?Susan: No, she's going home to (1) spend the holiday with her mother and brother.She hasn't seen her family in over a year.Chris: I know how she feels.

(2) They were happy just to have survived their first harsh winter in the new land in 1621.Chris: But wasn't that harsh winter followed by an abundant harvest? Susan: Yes, (3) that's good reason to celebrate: they had beaten the odds and were still alive. It was a time to relax and "count your blessings".Chris: You know, most cultures seem to have some sort of celebration like this--don't the Chinese have a festival of moon cakes to celebrate the harvest month? Susan: Yeah, they do. I believe the round moon cakes also (4) symbolize a family reunion.Chris: Well, today Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holiday. Susan: True, it's a very emotional time. Families often travel great distances (5) to be together and share a huge dinner. Jamie's mother will have a turkey and a ham, corn on the cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to top it all off, pumpkin pie. Chris: (6) Just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water, and I think I'm going to gain 10 pounds this year.Susan: But you have the rest of the year to lose those unwanted pounds. And losing weight will give you something to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten youon HalloweenScriptSusan: Hey Kim! (1) Are you OK? You seem badly shaken.

Some in tall, pointedhats.Susan: It's October 31st, Halloween, the day for (3) dressing like witches and ghosts. Kim:In the store window is a big vegetable with a carved face and candle inside.Susan: It's a pumpkin. A face and a candle burning inside make it a Jack o' Lantern.Kim: (4) A crowd of children followed me, shouting, "Tickle your feet." Imagine!Susan: No, they said, "Trick or Treat?" (5) They were hoping you'd give them candy.Kim: Welt, (6) it's a funny kind of holiday. What's it called? Halloween?Susan: Yes, it's one of the oldest holidays in the West. Today it's mostly for children.Kim:I myself would never dress like a ghost and shout, "Tickle your feet."V.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Wilsons’ ThanksgivingScriptThanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion. On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when the members of a family gather.But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family. Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take long distances to visit their parents. They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members. But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their "extended family". This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.The group has grown over the years. To accommodate all the guests, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room. At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children. Now some of the first guests are grandparents.Like other Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies.Question and key1. What is true of a typical Thanksgiving Day?A) It is a day for family reunion.2. Who are included in the "extended family"?D) People in the neighborhood.3. How many generations of people does the Wilson’s party include?C) Three.4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as traditional Thanksgiving food?B) Roast duck.5. What is the passage mainly about?C) A couple who spend Thanksgiving with people other than their family members.Task2 Father’s DayScript and keyFather’s Day is fairly new (S1) celebration Britain compared with Mother’s Day, which has been a (S2) popular festival in the U.K. for a very long time.The origins of celebration are (S3) American, and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. His wife (S4) died giving birth to their sixth child, so he raised six children alone without (S5) remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.His (S6) daughter, Sonora Dodd, realized when he was an adult what her father sacrificed for his children. It was in the early (S7) 1900s and she was actually in the church one day, listening to a sermon on Monday’ Day. She thought there should be a Father’s Day celebration. So (S8) the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora’s father’s death.Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. What do British people do for Father’s Day? Well, most people buy their fathers a card. (S9) The card probably has a nice message on it saying what a great dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for dads are probably ties, chocolates, or socks because these are things that dads can always use even if they don’t want them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, (S10) British people might give their dad a bit of a rest-make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn.Task3 St.Valentine’s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed, "Love from your Valentine."I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.Key1.He thought he was that if men were not married, they would not mind joining thearmy. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages.2.He kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly.3.They came to the jail to visit him. They throw flowers and notes up to his window.4.She was one of those young people and the daughter of the prison guard.5.Before he was killed, Valentine left the girl a little note thanking her for herfriendship and loyalty. He signed, “Love from your Valentine.” That note started the custom.Viewing and speakingA Famous Christmas Market1. Script and keyReceiving Christmas presents is always (1) fun, but buying them can be a (2) headache. This is why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city of Nuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt.The 400-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its (3)150 stalls sell all kinds of toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering (4) two million people visit the market annually.The old city and market add a special (5) feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist, Mivart Thomas, explains, “There's something quite, sort of, medieval about the (6) atmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls—(7) traditional-looking stalls--and the cathedral in the background with (8) lights all around, and just a few minutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. The whole atmosphere is wonderful."The market maintains its Old World atmosphere with (9) regulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is on the (10) family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that the market's name (11) translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is to offer presents for (12) children on Christmas.Christmas markets are found in many German cities, but Nuremberg's is the (13) most famous. It gives a very (14) different impression from the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of the market (15) spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.。

Could you explain what you mean? Angela: Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home. Interviewer: Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite? Angela: Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent.Interviewer: Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person? Angela: Yes, but sometimes I don't know who I am.Exercise 1 1. F 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. T 6.

I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am.I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything.I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People trust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I never tell any secret that is told to me. I'm always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask.I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everything I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. It makes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel, or how they live, or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me.Exercise 1 1. sensitive/ caring independent / understanding 2. good friend 3. life people 4. learning being awareExercise 2 1.

Is she difficult or anything?Barbara: No...she's quite young but she does behave in quite a grown-up way really for her age. It can be a bit difficult to actually shut her up sometimes and make her listen to you.David: Ah, right.Barbara: She's very nice. She has dark hair and dark eyes.David: Right, well...are there any other girls in the class?Barbara: Yes, there is Maria. She's Susan's sister.David: Yes.Barbara: Actually it's quite difficult to tell them apart although...er... Maria is slightly older. She's a bit plumper and has longer hair than Susan. She's not quite as bright as her sister and I think that makes her feel a bit inferior really. Well, you know, she sulks a bit when she gets things wrong or she misunderstands you. But on the whole, a very sensible girl. David: OK.Barbara: And then there's Peter, who's older than the others. He's got a sort of moustache, spectacles and wavy dark brown hair.

Unfortunately, it was the same chair. They both sat down at the same time. Each of them had half a chair. Charles said he was there first and tried to push Jake off the chair. Jake said he was first. Both boys refused to move."All right, boys," said the teacher. "If you won't move, then you can sit like that for the whole period."

Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Some were very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very popular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help. Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!"A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'please' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. He hadn't met any Englishmen, he said. The country appeared to be full of foreigners like himself. Statements1. It was easy to tell the English from the British.2. Speaking the same language helped one Australian visitor a lot.3. By "much nicer", one of the visitors meant that the British people were more friendly than people of other countries.4. The majority of continentals thought highly of English manners.5.

Mr. Smith always thought that he was more sensible than his wife, so he started to give her a lecture on the importance of always remaining calm.Finally he said, "It's a waste of your strength to get excited about small things. Train yourself to be patient, like me. Now, look at the fly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not. I'm perfectly calm."Just as he had said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He couldn't speak for some time, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose was not a fly, but a bee.1) upset 2) sensible 3) lecture 4) calm 5) strength6) landed 7) waving 8) perfectly 9) wildly 10) beeSection IITom: Oh, that Mr. Taylor.

"I went out one day and there was a big flock of ducks out on Tupper Lake. And I had this good dog. I shot at the ducks, and then I sent the dog out there. She was heavy with pups at the time, and I didn't know whether I should send her out there. It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went. But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her.She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at."So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go and see if I could find her. And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out. Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog. She came into the shore! She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups. And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth."

He said, "Daughter, I'm going down to the train to meet the Reverend, and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room. Don't you touch them!" The daughter said, "No, I won't touch them." So her papa went to the train to meet the Reverend, and the girl began to taste the ducks. The ducks tasted so good that she kept on tasting them until she had eaten them all up, every bit of them.After the old man came back, he didn't even look in the place where he had left the ducks. He went directly into the other room to sharpen his knife on the oilstone so he could carve the ducks. The preacher was sitting in the room with the girl. She knew that her papa was going to punish her, and she started crying and shedding tears. The preacher asked, "What is the matter with you, girl?" She said, "Papa has this one bad fault: He invites preachers to his house and goes to sharpen his knife to cut off both their ears." And the Reverend asked, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said, "Yes, Papainvites preachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears." The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat. Quick!" The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly. The daughter called her papa and said, "Papa, the preacher got both the ducks and has gone." The old man ran to the door and yelled to the preacher, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry? Come back here right now!"

He kept the shop free of rats and mice. But, one day, the cat got caught in a piece of machinery and got a paw cut off. After that, he began to grow weak and thin and didn't take any interest in anything, because he wasn't getting enough to eat. So, one day, Jack decided to make a wooden paw for the cat. He made it with his pocket knife and fastened it on the injured leg. After that, the cat began to grow sleek and fat again. Jack decided to stay at the shop one night to see how the cat managed with his wooden paw.After dark, the cat got down in front of a mouse hole and waited. Pretty soon a mouse peered out cautiously. Quick as a flash the cat seized it with his good paw and knocked it on the head with his wooden one. In no time, that cat had eighteen mice piled up in front of the mouse hole.Exercise 11) stayed around 2) mouse catcher 3) rats and mice 4) got a paw 5) weak and thin 6) make a wooden paw7) fastened it 8) grow sleek and fat 9) managed 10) peered out cautiously 11) seized it with 12) eighteen micePart Three More ListeningPractice oneKen: Hey, Josh. Where did you get those comic magazines?Josh: When I went home last weekend, I found these old Superman magazines that my older brother had bought many years ago.Ken: You don't have time to read old comics. Why did you bring them here?Josh: In my World Literature class we've been talking about the importance of myths, folk tales, and legends to cultures. We have to write a short paper on which legendary figure we think is the great American hero. I think it's Superman.Ken: Superman? Why? I think it's someone like Paul Bunyan, the giant woodsman, or Johnny Appleseed, who planted early apple trees in the Midwest. Superman is just a modern comic magazine character.Josh:When I saw these old comics, I started thinking that Superman represents a combination of cultural traditions and beliefs that have been told throughout our American history.Ken: How?Josh: Superman is an orphan who comes by rocket to Earth when his native planet explodes. He lands near a small town and is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who teach him their American middle-class values of honesty, hard work and considerationfor others. As an adult, he migrates to a large city and defends Americans against evil. Ken: What else?Josh: Well, I was thinking about this and realized that he is a symbol of the American character because he is an immigrant. We Americans have come from somewhere else, too. My great grandparents came from Germany, and I know your grandparents came from Brazil. They all worked hard and succeeded.Ken: But how does that relate to Superman?Josh: He goes to the city, just as many immigrants did, works as a newspaper reporter. But his adopted parents' values of honesty, hard work and helpfulness are a part of him. He uses his super abilities to fight dishonesty and to help the victims of crime and injustice, meanwhile working hard at his newspaper job.Ken: I understand. As an orphan, Superman becomes a new person in a new land, just as our ancestors did, and succeeds. He also represents our values. Your paper should be interesting.

But when mankind began to multiply rapidly, the animals were crowded into forests and deserts.Man began to destroy many animals for their skins and furs instead of only for food.Animals became angry at this treatment by man and decided that mankind must be punished.The animals held a meeting, but they could not decide how to punish mankind. Finally the animals agreed that because deer were the animals most often killed by man, deer should decide how man should be punished.Deer decided that any Indian hunters who killed deer without asking pardon in a suitable manner would be made to suffer with painful stiffness in their bodies. After this decision was made, the leader of the deer sent a message to the nearest people, the Cherokee Indians. "From now on, your hunters must first offer a prayer to the deer before killing him. You must ask his pardon, telling the deer you are forced to kill him only because your people are hungry and need meat. Otherwise, a terrible disease will come to you." The spirits of the deer would run to the place where a deer had been killed and these spirits would ask the dead deer, "Did you hear the hunter's prayer for pardon?" If the answer was "yes", the spirits would be satisfied. But, if the answer was "no", then the deer spirits would track down the hunter to his house and strike him with the terrible disease of stiffness in his body, making him crippled so that he could not hunt deer again. Soon all of the animals agreed that this was a fair and just punishment. Each type of animal decided that they would also cause a disease in people who mistreated them. When the friendly plants of the world heard what the animals had decided as punishment for mankind, the plants decided that this punishment was too harsh. They had a meeting of their own. Finally they decided that each type of plant should provide a cure for one of the diseases which animals had caused for mankind.This was the beginning of plant medicines from nature among the Cherokee Indians a long, long time ago.Exercise 1 1.

No one really knows how long this event has taken place, but according to local legend the annual buzzard migration began nearly 200 years ago with a massacre."The first legend of buzzards in Hinkley, Ohio, goes back to the Great Hinkley Hunt on December 24, Christmas Eve, in 1818. The local settlers deciding that the township needed to be made safe for their livestock, gathered together about 400 men and boys, with guns and clubs and completely surrounded the township of Hinkley."As the story goes, the townsfolk began marching toward the center of town, driving all the game in front of them, and killing virtually every wild animal they encountered. "The settlers took some of the deer and the wild turkeys for the holiday dinners, but left all of the other dead animals out in the snow. When spring came, the remaining dead animals attracted many buzzards, and since 1819 they've been coming back here in March."Hinkley locals have come to appreciate the buzzards' annual return. In mid-March, on Buzzard Sunday, they celebrate the birds' arrival with costumes, exhibits and songs. Exercise 1 1. B 2. D 3. C 4. D 5. AExercise 2 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5.F 6.

He was a mighty, powerful, conquering soldier, and his greatest ambition was that one day he would rule a massive empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. He made his imperial capital in the oasis city of Samarkand, which he planned to make the most beautiful city on earth. Many magnificent mosques were built and they were decorated with exquisite blue ceramic tiles on the outside, and with pure gold on the inside.Tamerlane, like the great oriental king that he was, had many wives, including a Chinese girl called Bibi Khanym. Now Bibi Khanym was the most beautiful of all T amerlane's wives, and she was also the youngest. She was his favorite wife and was deeply in love with him.In order to demonstrate her great love of Tamerlane, she decided to build a magnificent mosque to honor him, while he was away fighting in a distant war. She engaged the best architect, who designed for her the most magnificent mosque you could imagine. And then she found the best master builder, who began work immediately. But as the weeks and months passed by, the master builder began to fall in love with Bibi Khanym. She resisted all his advances, but at last he threatened to leave the mosque unfinished unless she allowed him to kiss her just once. Bibi Khanym wanted the beautiful mosque finished more than anything else. She was expecting Tamerlane to return any day. So at last she agreed to let the master builder kiss her, just once.But that was her terrible mistake, for so powerful was the master builder's love for BibiKhanym that when he kissed her he left a permanent mark on her face.King Tamerlane returned and saw the guilty mark on his wife's face. The master builder was executed immediately, and then, thinking that a woman's beauty can be a dangerous thing, Tamerlane ordered that from that day on all the women in the kingdom should never be seen in public without a veil to cover their face.Exercise 1 1.

Don't leave the main road."On her way, she saw a wolf. The wolf asked her where she was going and she told him that she was going to her grandmother's house. The wolf thought to himself how delicious she would taste. Red Riding Hood danced in the woods, picking flowers for her grandmother and forgetting what her mother had said to her.The wolf went to the grandmother's house and ate up the poor lady. Then he waited in the bed for Red Riding Hood.As Red Riding Hood came into the grandmother's house, she found her grandmother looked rather strange with very large ears, eyes, hands and mouth. And suddenly the wolf jumped out of the bed and devoured the little girl.。

I must do things by myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it.

Train yourself to be patient, like me. Now, look at the fly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not.

Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Some were very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very popular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!"A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'please' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. He hadn't met any Englishmen, he said.

Listening InTask 1: Attending a Business ReceptionScriptChris: I’ve been looking forward to this reception for weeks. I can’t wait to get some for my own leads. You know, start making new connections.Nora: Smart thinking. But what are you going to do with all those brochures? Chris: The party ends at 2:00. I figure I can have them all distributed by 1:30.

Key(1) reception (2) new connections (3)distributed (4)green hand (5) business cards (6)talk business (7) card (8)follow up (9)more ground (10) piece of cake Task2: Business IdeasBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference between raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process to increase its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making a profit. They improve an existing product or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.Question and key1.What is the first way the speaker mentions that can help you produce a businessidea?C) Adding value to an existing product.2. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?B) Cutting the price of the product.3. Why does the speaker mention the hula hoop?B) It is an example to show how to improve a product.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A) Most products and services can be improved.5. What is the passage mainly about?D) The way to find good business ideas.Task3 Start-up companiesStart-up companies can come in all forms, but the phrase “start-up company” is often associated with high-growth, technology-oriented companies. Investors are often attracted to those new companies that have lower bootstrapping costs, higher risk, and higher potential returns on investment. Successful start-ups are typically more scalable than established businesses, in the sense that they can potentially grow more rapidly with limited investment of capital, labor, or land.Start-ups have a number of options for funding. Venture capital firms and angel investors may help start-up companies begin operations, exchange cash for an equity stake. In practice though, many start-ups are initially founded by the founders themselves.A critical task in setting up a business is to conduct research in order to assess the business ideas, the opportunities and risks in future development, and the commercial potential. If a company’s value is based on its technology, it is often equally important for the business owners to obtain intellectual property protection for their ideas. The news magazine The Economist estimated that up to 75 percent of the value of U.S. listed companies is now based on their intellectual property (up from 40 percent in1980). Often, 100 percent of a small start-up company’s value is based on its intellectual property. As such, it is important for technology-oriented start-up companies to develop a sound strategy for protecting their intellectual capital as early as possible.Stat-up companies, particularly those associated with new technology, sometimes produce huge returns to their creators and investor. Based on a research, founder CEOs of high-tech companies can typically expect their stock to be worth about $16.5 million if the company succeeds in going public. However, the failure rate of start-up companies is very high.Key(1) technology-oriented (2) higher (3) returns (4) options (5) Venture capital (6) cash (7) founders (8) business ideas (9) potential (10) intellectual property protection (11) 100 percent (12) creators (13) stock (14) $16.5 million (15) failure rateIV.

Then (5) we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go from bad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the employees? Helen:Early next week.Bill:What kinds of severance package will we be able to offer them?Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salary.Bill: Oh! How terrible!

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1 Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planting your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on where to open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business far from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have to spend in the recruiting phase could be an indicator of whether you should locate the business in an area with a different employee pool or not.Another factor you have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local chamber of commerce, business association, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day”to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business? Question and key1.What is the speaker mainly talking about?D) How to find a good business location.2.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at far from your home?C) A place that is building up.3.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?C) Choosing an economically inactive place because of the low costs.4.What will the recruiting money tell you?A) Whether you should set up a company in a certain place.5.What can you do to integrate with the locate people?C)Joining the local organizations.Task 2: Too clever to be wiseScriptOnce there was a Scottish accountant. The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for 100 pounds.”The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you 100 pounds!”Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “How much would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20 pounds.”“Do it!” demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great-great granddaddy thought of that 150 years ago!”Keys:1. F2.T3.F4. F5.TTask3 Mergers and acquisitionsScriptAlthough the terms mergers and acquisitions are often used interchangeably, as though they were synonymous, they mean slightly different things.When one company takes over another and clearly establishes itself as the new owner, the purchase is called an acquisition. From a legal point of view, the target company ceases to exist, the buyer “swallows” the business, and the buyer’s stock continues to be traded.In the pure sense of the term, a merger happens when two firms agree to go forward as a single new company rather than remain separately owned and operated. This kind of action is more precisely referred to as a “merger of equals”. The firms are often about the same size. Both companies’ stocks are surrendered, and the new company’s stock is issued in its place.In practice, however, actual mergers of equals don’t happen very often. Usually, one company will buy another and, as part of the deal’s terms, simply allow the acquired firm to proclaim that the action is a merger of equals, even if it is technically an acquisition. Being bought out often carries negative implications; by describing the deal euphemistically as a merger, top managers try to make the takeover more palatable.A purchase deal will also be called a merger when both CEOs agree that joining together is in the best interest of both of their companies. But when the deal is unfriendly-that is, when the target company does not want to be purchased-it is always regarded as an acquisition.Whether a purchase is considered a merger or an acquisition really depends on whether the purchase is friendly or hostile and how it is announced. In other words, the real difference lies in how the purchase is communicated to and received by the target company’s board of directors, employees, and shareholders.Question and key1.Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of acquisition according to thepassage?D)The target company’s stock continues to be traded.2.Which of the following is true of a merger in its purest form?B) The two companies are about the same size.3. Which of the following is true of mergers in practice?D) All of above.4. What does the speaker think of acquisition?C) They usually go against the wishes of the target companies.5. Which of the following points of view best describes the difference between merger and acquisition?A) It is just a subjective judgment.Viewing and speakingUrging shareholders to reject a takeover offerScriptInterviewee: Oh, absolutely not. I mean I think the case has been made very strongly throughout the process. And I think today, which is in fact our results forthe 2009 period, strongly reinforces the message that this is a first-classbusiness worth a considerable amount more money than we’re beingoffered by Kraft.Interviewer:It does seem to suggest that when the analysts say it’s just about the price being right and the shareholders will be keen to go for the Kraftoffer.Interviewee:Well, it’s certainly about value, and the whole process is about extracting the best value for shareholders. But that value is reallyrelative to the value that Cadbury can create as an independent company.And I think the results we’ve shown demonstrate that that value ismaterial more than the Kraft offer.Interviewer: Have you spoken to Lord Mandelson or any other government ministers recently about the state of affairs with Kraft, and have they given youany reassurance?Interviewee: We’ve not spoken directly to Lord Mandelson although we’ve clearly seen his commentary on the impact of hostile bids on British companies.I mean, our position has been throughout that we are appreciative ofsupport from all sources whether it is the consumer or very, verywell-known politicians. But our job is to assess value for ourshareholders. So to that extent we will be continuing to focus on value,but listening and appreciative of the support we receive from others. Interviewer: And so the key message you’d like everyone to take away today from this last-ditch appeal?Interviewee: Well the key message is that it isn’t a last-ditch appeal; it is a statement of the quality of the business. Cadbury is a wonderful iconic businesswith remarkable market positions and great positions in growth marketswhich is delivering for its shareholders today. It has no strategic issues,no financial issues and no managerial issues. And for that reasonanybody that seeks to own this company should pay a lot of money forthe privilege.KeyThe items in favors of the idea that “Cadbury should be sold for more money” are 1), 2), 4), 6), 7), 8).。

Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on America competition.Alan: Competition is everywhere. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge? Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to complete from early childhood.When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza: Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they complete with one another in their studies.Alan: I sn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students would kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan:I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great…makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world? Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s such competition in other countries as well.Eliza:You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say.

What does the woman think more sense, competition or cooperation?D) It’s difficult to arrive at a definite conclusion.Task2: Americans’ work ethicScript and keyFor 400 years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their“work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teachings of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their (S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow Bible’s (S6) teachings,“If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, American have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder”so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth.(S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsively. The word “workaholic”describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.They are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholics upholds those values.Task3: Cross-cultural tips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U.S., the U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China-the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is also very important with Americans and the British. But while it’s important to be on time for business meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a social event. Half past seven is really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o’clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don’t be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In the business environments of those four countries, it is best to wear formal clothes of dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are rather common. However, don’t be surprised if you go to an office in the U.K., on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies in the U.K. have “dress down Fridays”, when people wear casual attire.In conversation, the British and the Americans love humor and talking about sports. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British, but you should avoid political talk. With the Russians, say positive things about their country, and avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can’t change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with Russians it’s important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don’t be surprised if a British meeting seems like a chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions!Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international career. Question and key:1.What is true of the Americans and the British in term of punctuality?D) They are punctual for business meetings, but less for social events?2.In which country do people have “dress down Fridays”?A) The U.K.3.What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?D) They are patriotic.4.How can you do business well with the Russians?A) You should know your contacts well.5.What is the speaker’s attitude toward the four nationalities?C) He is neutral to all of them.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1: Americans glorify individualism.ScriptSusan: John, I was looking for you. Where have you been hiding all morning? John: Well, I caught Professor Brown’s lecture on American individualism. Susan: Oh, how did you find it?John:Enlightening. Americans glorify individualism. They believe (1) individual interests rank above everything else.Susan:Sounds interesting. (2) It’s a sharp contrast to the oriental collectivism Professor Wang talked about last semester.John: But you should know that the individualism in the United States (3)is not necessarily an equivalent for selfishness.Susan: Then what does it mean in the States?John:They believe (4) all values, rights, and duties originate in individuals, so they emphasize individual initiative and independence.Susan:There could be something in that. Of course (5) an oriental countries the interests of the group are more important than anything else.John:So, it’s all the necessary for foreigners to understand American culture, or they can’t hope to understand the importance of privacy in the West. Susan: Maybe that’s the reason nuclear families outnumber extended families in the United States.John:Right on! You’re catching on fast!Susan: Now let me ask you a question.John: Shoot. Go ahead.Susan: (6) Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people? John:I don’t know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn’t say.Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it’s deeply rooted.John:Wow. That’s an intelligent guess!Model2: What do you think are the reasonsfor that difference?ScriptSusan:Do find that people in America often walk faster than people in China?American (1) always seems to be in a hurry.John:It’s hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, I think you’re right.Susan: (2) What do you think are the reasons for that difference?John: Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.”You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Susan: (3) Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?John:Sure. If you’re 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore.Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.John: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important.Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.Susan:But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.John:How true!Susan: The American worship of time probably (4) let them to create fast food. John: I agree. And (5) globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find Kentucky Fried Chicken.Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”John: But with more intercultural, I think (6) the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.Model3: That’s the secret of their success.ScriptChris: Hey, Sue, how’s the math class going? Are you head of the class?Susan: Are you kidding? There’s a bunch of foreign students in the class-from China somewhere-and (1) they’re on top.Chris:Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math? It’s been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.Susan: In class they don’t say much, but (2) they definitely get the best marks. Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. (3) They never skip in class, and they pay attention.Susan: One Chinese student in my class (4) did homework each day until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer.Chris: (5) That’s the secret of their success: hard work and diligence.Susan:It’s so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that’s no fun. I think learning should be more fun.Chris:Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don’t have the knowledge, then you won’t understand the significance of the moves, and you’ll be bored.Susan:So what you’re saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I’m not against knowledge; (6) I just want to learn in an interesting way. What’s more, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.“Ⅴlet’s talkInternational Slavery MuseumScriptThe international Slavery Museum has opened at Albert Dock, in Liverpool. Many people travelled from all over the world to celebrate the opening on 23rd of August. The museum is a place of reflection, contemplation and education.It tells the story of the cruel acts of the transatlantic slave trade, the stories of the lives of the millions of Africans people, who were forced from their homelands onto ships that sailed to unknown lands where they were made to work on farms and in mines in harsh conditions without dignity or payment.Liverpool is one of the many British seaports that became very rich from money made transporting goods such as cotton and sugar, produced by African slaves.One of the most important parts of the museum’s exhibits are the stories of the lives of people who live all over the world today, whose family history can be traced to the Africans whose lives were changed forever by the transatlantic slave trade.It has taken four years of the hard work and planning to organise the creation of the museum, and its opening year is a very significant date because in 2007 we commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act.This was a law made in 1807; it banned all British people from taking part in the slave trade. Later in 1833 all people who had been forced into slavery to work for British companies were freed.Key:1.It tells the story of the cruel acts of the (1) transatlantic slave trade, the stories ofthe lives of the millions of African people, who were forced from their homelands onto ships that sailed to (2) unknown lands where they were made to work on farms and in mines in harsh conditions without (3) dignity or payments.2.Liverpool is one of the many British seaports that became very (1) rich from manymade transporting goods such as (2) cottons and sugar, produced by African slaves.3.One of the most important parts of the museum’s exhibits are the stories of thelives of people who live (1) all over the world today, whose (2) family history can be traced to the Africans whose lives were (3) changed forever by the transatlantic slave trade.4.Because 2007 marks the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act.5. A law made in 1807; it (1) banned all British people from (2) taking part in theslave trade. Later in 1833 all people who had been forced into (3) slavery to workfor British companies were (4) freed.ⅥFurther listening and speakingListeningTask1 PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people can arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friend will just “dropped in”unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed. The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature- from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon-shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”Question and key:1.When people are running late in America, what do they do?C) They call ahead to inform others of their delays.2.What do Americans do after the time for an appointment is fixed?B) They change it only when there is an emergency.3.How do people in Eastern cultures view relationships and schedules?A) Relationships are more important than schedules.4.Why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let an opportunity pass by?C) Another opportunity will come in next cycle.5.What was Benjamin Franklin’s view of time?D) It is part of life.Task2: Our personal spaceScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia, generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to aggressive when their space is invaded. The idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what is usual north of the border. And for Middle Easterners, typical Arab conversations are at close arrange. Closeness cannot be avoided.As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is scared. Key:1.T2. F3.T4. F5. FTask3: We don’t know what to do with them.ScriptA Russian, a Cuban, an American businessman, and an American lawyer were passengers on a fast train speeding across the French countryside. As time wore on, they gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottle out of the open window.“What did you do that for?”asked the startled American businessman.“V odka is plentiful in my country,”said the Russian. “In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it-far more than we need.”The American businessman shook his head and leaned in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian’s reasoning .A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasure of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window.“I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year,” the American businessman said,“Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.”“Cigars,” the Cuban replied, “are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we know what to do with.”The American businessman sat in silence for moment. Then he got up, grabbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.Key:1.The Russian hurled the half-full bottle of vodka out of the open window.2.He answered, “V odka is plentiful in my country. In fact, we have thousands andthousands of liters of it-far more we need.”3.The businessman said, “I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year. Yetyou threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling. ”4.He replied, “Cigars are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than weknow what to do with.”5.The American businessman sat in silence for moment. Then he got up, grabbedthe lawyer, and threw him out of the window. He did that probably because hethought there were too many lawyers in the United States.Viewing and speakingReviving the image of tea1.Script and keyVoice-over: Walk down any high street and you can’t help noticing the explosion of trendy coffee shops. The old style of cafes are gradually (1) disappearingto make way for the caffeine culture. As people become espresso fiendsand cappuccino connoisseurs, designer coffees are (2) kicking thetraditional British beverage-tea-off the menu. But there are still a fewoases of calm.[On-screen text: Charlotte Grindling.]Voice-over:Charlotte Grindling is a design guru and a tea fanatic.Charlotte:I’ll have a pot of house blend please.Waitress:OK, and a cream.Charlotte:Yes, thank you. Here we are in a quintessentially English (3) tea shop. I love these places. Look, they even give you a doily. But the problem isthat tea is undergoing an (4) image crisis. You think of your granny, teaat four, the flat cap. But with the explosion of the new coffee shopshitting the high street, the question is: How is tea going to (5) update itsimage?Voice-over:One tea manufacturing company saw a niche in the market for a chain of tea shops to (6) compete with the American-style coffee shops thatdominate the high street. But to compete successfully, they needed a teamachine that made quality tea as (7) fast as the coffee machines makecoffee. They turned to the company Design Bridge for help.David: I’m David.Richard:I’m Richard.David:We work for Design Bridge.Richard:And we design things like that.David:And that.Richard:And that.David:Yeah, and that.Richard: And this one.David:In fact, all of these.Voice-over:David and Richard are (8) product designers.They’re responsible for repackaging many familiar high street brands. Repackaging tea was justone of their briefs and it was because of the (9) contacts that they madewith the tea company that they got the job of designing the tea machine. [On-screen text: David Helps.]David:we met up with our client in a place (10) similar to this, and he said he wanted a tea machine to fit into a load of tea shops he was launching theyear after. So he all spun around and looked at that, and said actually Ithink that’s the sort of thing we (11) want.[On-screen text: Richard Rees.]Richard:The trouble is there it’s a beautiful coffee machine. It’s been around for 30 years, it’s got this gorgeous Italian styling: lots of chrome, lots ofstainless steel, but we weren’t sure whether that style was what weneeded for a tea machine. So that was our (12challenge: What’s the rightstyle for a new tea machine?Voice-over:Faced with creating a new product from scratch, David and Richard would need a design brief. The brief is crucial because they need toknow about the (13) consumer before they can design the product. Thereis a (14) traditional way of finding out what the consumer wants andcreating this design brief.。

Unit 1Listen1_Ex1Interviewer:Angela, you were born in Korea but you've been living in Canada for a long time, haven't you?Angela:Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I've been living here for 20 years now.Interviewer:Do you think that belonging to two different cultures has affected your personality?Angela:Yes, definitely. There are times when I think that I have two personalities. Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian. Interviewer:That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean?Angela:Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home.Interviewer:Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite? Angela:Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent.Interviewer:Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person? Angela:Yes, but sometimes I don't know who I am.1.Angela immigrated from Canada to Korea.(F )2.Angela is about 20 years old now.(F )3.Angela had two different personalities,one at school and one at home.(T )4.Sun-Kyung is Anglela's gilefriend at school.(F )5.Angela agrees that culture affects personality.(T )6.Being expected to two different cultures is sometimes confusing.(T)1) outside world 2) at home 3) wave hello 4) bow5) look straight in the eyes of 6) openly 7) look at my feet8) shy and silentListen2_Ex1I am a very sensitive person, and that's good to a point. I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am.I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything.I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. Peopletrust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I never tell any secret that is told to me. I'm always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask.I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everything I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. It makes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel, or how they live, or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me.1.The man is very_and_person.2.He also thinks he would be a__ __.3.He enjoys __ and__,which makes him feel good.4.He enjoys __and__,which makes him feel good.1.sensitive independent2. good friend3. life people4. learning being aware1.In the man's opinion,it is good to (be a bit sensitive).2.The man doesn't like others to do things for him because (he doesn't want to owe others anything).3.The man says he can be a good friend because (he can keep his friends' secrets).4.One thing that the man doesn't like to do is (to do house work ).5.We can infer from the passage that the man is (sociable).Practice1_Ex1_Tom:Hey, Bill. Do you have any plans for this weekend?Bill:Yeah, Tom. Cindy and I are going ice-skating on Saturday.Tom:Oh.Bill:Why do you ask?Tom:Well, I thought you might want to come over and study for next week's chemistry test.Bill:Study?! No way. Hey, what if I try to fix you up with Cindy's sister, Kristi. We could double-date. She's really outgoing, bright, and funny too.Tom:Hey, I still remember the girl you fixed me up with last time. She was very moody and self-centered. She couldn't stop talking about how great she was. I'm not sure if I can trust you, "Mr. Matchmaker".Bill:Oh come on. So I made a mistake last time. Cindy's sister is really different. Tom:Well, what does she look like?Bill:Ah. Looks aren't important. She has a wonderful personality.Tom:Right.Bill:Okay. She has long wavy blond hair and blue eyes. She's of medium height, just a little shorter than you are.Tom:Go on.Bill:She has a great figure, a nice complexion, and she has a sexy voice. Oh, and she has a tattoo of an eagle on her arm.Tom:A what?Bill:No, just kidding. By the way, she was the runner-up in the Miss California Beauty Pageant two years ago.

Now, let me think, well, there's...er...Paul. He's a tall, slim lad with fair hair. Very friendly face, lovely smile... He's particularly good with group activities, and he's a very helpful person to have in the class and very helpful with the other students. He speaks fluently, but does make a lot of mistakes! He doesn't seem to mind making mistakes. He asks a lot of questions...er...he tends to speak first and think later. But he's got lots of interesting ideas.David:Good.Barbara:Ah...Susan...Susan. Now, she's very lively, quick, and very bright. She talks all the time but not always in English.David:What? Is she difficult or anything?Barbara:No...she's quite young but she does behave in quite a grown-up way really for her age. It can be a bit difficult to actually shut her up sometimes and make her listen to you.David:Ah, right.Barbara:She's very nice. She has dark hair and dark eyes.David:Right, well...are there any other girls in the class?Barbara:Yes, there is Maria. She's Susan's sister.David:Yes.Barbara:Actually it's quite difficult to tell them apart although...er... Maria is slightly older. She's a bit plumper and has longer hair than Susan. She's not quite as bright as her sister and I think that makes her feel a bit inferior really. Well,you know, she sulks a bit when she gets things wrong or she misunderstands you. But on the whole, a very sensible girl.David:OK.Barbara:And then there's Peter, who's older than the others. He's got a sort of moustache, spectacles and wavy dark brown hair. He usually wears a jacket and sometimes a suit. He's very smart and takes notes all the time. He's also very serious and determined to learn as much as possible. He asks quite difficult questions but he doesn't mean to be nasty.David:Well, thanks, Barbara. It's all up to me now, isn't it?

Unfortunately, it was the same chair. They both sat down at the same time. Each of them had half a chair. Charles said he was there first and tried to push Jake off the chair. Jake said he was first. Both boys refused to move."All right, boys," said the teacher. "If you won't move, then you can sit like that for the whole period." Jake and Charles sat like that for the whole period until the bell rang. When they stood up they were stiff and sore."I don't care," said Jake. "I was there first."What kind of person is Jake?5.

Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Some were very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very popular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!"A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'please' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. He hadn't met any Englishmen, he said. The country appeared to be full of foreigners like himself. Statements:1. It was easy to tell the English from the British.2. Speaking the same language helped one Australian visitor a lot.3. By "much nicer", one of the visitors meant that the British people were more friendly than people of other countries.4. The majority of continentals thought highly of English manners.5. To the young student from South Africa, Britain seemed to have a lot of foreign visitors.1) F 2) T 3) F 4) F 5) T1)flattering 2) critical 3) popular 4) reserved 5) EnglishSection1One day, when Mr. Smith came home from work, he found his wife very upset about something. Mr. Smith always thought that he was more sensible than his wife, so he started to give her a lecture on the importance of always remaining calm. Finally he said, "It's a waste of your strength to get excited about small things. Train yourself to be patient, like me. Now, look at the fly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not. I'm perfectly calm."Just as he had said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He couldn't speak for some time, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose was not a fly, but a bee.1) upset 2) sensible 3) lecture 4) calm 5) strength6) landed 7) waving 8) perfectly 9) wildly 10) beeSection IITom:Oh, that Mr. Taylor.

Mr. Taylor seems sucha nice, kind man.Tom:Well, he isn't. He is mean and cruel.Mother:Cruel?

We asked them to be self-critical...to ask themselves exactly what they thought they lacked or—the other side of the coin—what virtues they had. Here is what we heard.S2:Well...I...I don't know really...it's not the sort of question you ask yourself directly. I know I'm good at my job... At least my boss considers me hard-working, conscientious, and efficient. I'm a secretary by the way. When I look at myself in a mirror as you sometimes do in the privacy of your own bedroom...or at your reflection in the shop windows as you walk up the street... Well...then I see someone a bit different. Yes...I'm different in my private life. And that's probably my main fault I should say... I suppose I'm not coherent in my behavior. My office is always in order...but my flat! Well...you'd have to see it to believe it.S3:Well...I'm retired, you know. Used to be an army officer. And...I think I've kept myself...yes, I've kept myself respectable the whole of my life. I've tried to help those who depend on me. I've done my best. I am quite self-disciplined. Basically I'm a good guy, fond of my wife and family... That's me.S4:Well...when I was young I was very shy. At times I...I was very unhappy...especially when I was sent to boarding school at age seven. I didn't make close friends till later...till I was about...fifteen. Then I became quite good at being by myself. I had no one to rely on...and no one to ask for advice. That made me independent. My wife and I have two sons.

"I went out one day and there was a big flock of ducks out on Tupper Lake. And I had this good dog. I shot at the ducks, and then I sent the dog out there. She was heavy with pups at the time, and I didn't know whether I should send her out there. It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went. But she didn't show up when it got dark.I began to worry about her. She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at."So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go and see if I could find her. And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out. Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog. She came into the shore! She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups. And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth."1.What did Mart go out hunting for?(Ducks)2.What was the weather like that day?(Cold)3.Who went with him?(His dog)4.What happened to Mart during the hunt?(The dog disappeared)5.How many dogs did Mart get in the end?(Eight)1.B2.

He said, "Daughter, I'm going down to the train to meet the Reverend, and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room. Don't you touch them!" The daughter said, "No, I won't touch them." So her papa went to the train to meet the Reverend, and the girl began to taste the ducks. The ducks tasted so good that she kept on tasting them until she had eaten them all up, every bit of them.After the old man came back, he didn't even look in the place where he had left the ducks. He went directly into the other room to sharpen his knife on the oilstone so he could carve the ducks. The preacher was sitting in the room with the girl. She knew that her papa was going to punish her, and she started crying and shedding tears. The preacher asked, "What is the matter with you, girl?" She said, "Papa has this one bad fault: He invites preachers to his house and goes to sharpen his knife to cut off both their ears." And the Reverend asked, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said, "Yes, Papa invites preachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears." The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat. Quick!" The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly. The daughter called her papa and said, "Papa, the preacher got both the ducks and has gone." The old man ran to the door and yelled to the preacher, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry? Come back here right now!" But the preacher just kept running and shouted back over his shoulder, "Damned if you'll get either one of these."1.Whom did the father go to meet?(A preacher)2.What did the father tell the daughter NOT to do ?(Eat the ducks)3.What did the daughter do after her father left?(She tasted the ducks)4.What did the father do first after he came back?(He sharpened the knife )5.According to the daughter,what would the father do to the preacher?(He would cut both his ears off)1.

The cat was the best mouse catcher in the whole country, Jack said. He kept the shop free of rats and mice. But, one day, the cat got caught in a piece of machinery and got a paw cut off. After that, he began to grow weak and thin and didn't take any interest in anything, because he wasn't getting enough to eat.So, one day, Jack decided to make a wooden paw for the cat. He made it with his pocket knife and fastened it on the injured leg. After that, the cat began to grow sleek and fat again.

Where did you get those comic magazines?Josh:When I went home last weekend, I found these old Superman magazines that my older brother had bought many years ago.Ken:You don't have time to read old comics. Why did you bring them here?Josh:In my World Literature class we've been talking about the importance of myths, folk tales, and legends to cultures. We have to write a short paper on which legendary figure we think is the great American hero. I think it's Superman.Ken:Superman? Why? I think it's someone like Paul Bunyan, the giant woodsman, or Johnny Appleseed, who planted early apple trees in the Midwest. Superman is just a modern comic magazine character.Josh:When I saw these old comics, I started thinking that Superman represents a combination of cultural traditions and beliefs that have been told throughout our American history.Ken:How?Josh:Superman is an orphan who comes by rocket to Earth when his native planet explodes. He lands near a small town and is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who teach him their American middle-class values of honesty, hard work and consideration for others. As an adult, he migrates to a large city and defends Americans against evil.Ken:What else?Josh:Well, I was thinking about this and realized that he is a symbol of the American character because he is an immigrant. We Americans have come from somewhere else, too. My great grandparents came from Germany, and I know your grandparents came from Brazil. They all worked hard and succeeded.Ken:But how does that relate to Superman?Josh:He goes to the city, just as many immigrants did, works as a newspaper reporter. But his adopted parents' values of honesty, hard work and helpfulness are a part of him. He uses his super abilities to fight dishonesty and to help the victims of crime and injustice, meanwhile working hard at his newspaper job.Ken:I understand. As an orphan, Superman becomes a new person in a new land, just as our ancestors did, and succeeds. He also represents our values. Your paper should be interesting. I'd like to read it when it's finished.Josh:OK.Practice One Exercise 11.Why does Josh read comic magazines about Superman?(For his literature class)2.What does Josh think of Superman as?(A hero)3.What does Superman represent according to Josh?(American values)4.Why does Josh think Superman is so special to the Americans?(Because he is an immigrant just like most other Americans)5.What is Josh going to write about Superman?(A paper)1.

But when mankind began to multiply rapidly, the animals were crowded into forests and deserts.Man began to destroy many animals for their skins and furs instead of only for food. Animals became angry at this treatment by man and decided that mankind must be punished.The animals held a meeting, but they could not decide how to punish mankind. Finally the animals agreed that because deer were the animals most often killed by man, deer should decide how man should be punished.Deer decided that any Indian hunters who killed deer without asking pardon in a suitable manner would be made to suffer with painful stiffness in their bodies. After this decision was made, the leader of the deer sent a message to the nearest people, the Cherokee Indians. "From now on, your hunters must first offer a prayer to the deer before killing him. You must ask his pardon, telling the deer you are forced to kill him only because your people are hungry and need meat. Otherwise, a terrible disease will come to you."The spirits of the deer would run to the place where a deer had been killed and these spirits would ask the dead deer, "Did you hear the hunter's prayer for pardon?" If the answer was "yes", the spirits would be satisfied. But, if the answer was "no", then the deer spirits would track down the hunter to his house and strike him with the terrible disease of stiffness in his body, making him crippled so that he could not hunt deer again.Soon all of the animals agreed that this was a fair and just punishment. Each type of animal decided that they would also cause a disease in people who mistreated them. When the friendly plants of the world heard what the animals had decided as punishment for mankind, the plants decided that this punishment was too harsh. They had a meeting。
