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.

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.

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.

And the bicycles and cars look like toys. I have never seen them before. We don't need them at all. We can move freely whenever and wherever we want. H: Well, it would be nice not to have traffic jams.E: But it looks like you are enjoying life more than we do. It's beautiful here with all the trees and flowers. I hear that there are lots of interesting places here.H: There sure are!E: And the food you eat attracts me very much, especially the vegetables and fruits.H: Don't you have attractive and tasty foods at home?E: No, we need only electricity. It gives us enough energy to keep alive and active.H: Amazing!E: And I notice that you play interesting and exciting games.I watched one game and enjoyed it very much. There were ten people and one ball moving back and forth. Is it called basketball?H: Yeah, that's right. Basketball is one of the most popular sports. Many people here love it. It's not strange that you liked it when you saw it. There are also many other kinds of sports, such as football, tennis and volleyball. All of them are very exciting to us.E: I wish we had exciting sports. We spend too much time on high technology. Everything in our world is controlled by computers and all we have to do is sit in front of them to get what we want and need.H: So, do you play computer games as sports? Some of us like them very much.E: They were popular on our planet one hundred years ago. Now nobody has much interest in them. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I must say our computer technology is much more advanced than yours.H: You must be kidding. We have always thought that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the universe. But anyway, I'd really like to take a trip to outer space and see what exactly your life is like. Can I go back with you? That would be great!E: I'd love to take you there, but there are two problems. How would you survive on my planet without oxygen? And how could you return to Earth by yourself?H: Do you mean that it's impossible for me to go with you to your place?E: That's right. But if it is ever possible, I promise you I'll show you around when you get there. I do have to go back now because I've almost used up the electricity in my body. It's been nice talking with you. I really do have to say goodbye for now.H: One day I hope we do meet again and I hope you will keep your promise.

My house has a good, clear view of the loch. In fact, it's only about a hundred meters from the lake, and there's nothing but the road in between.Last Tuesday, I got up as usual at about seven o'clock and went into my garden. I looked around, and something attracted my attention on the loch. There was almost no mist that morning, and I could see that there was something moving quite fast, going north, in the middle of the loch. It looked like a giant snake, with its head and part of its body above water, and it was moving very fast. I imagine that it was about thirty meters long. I ran into the house to get my camera, but when I got back it had gone.I waited for about five minutes and then it appeared again, this time nearer the road and my house, so I could see it clearly.I had a good view of it about two minutes and I managed to take several photographs of it. The photographs haven't come out very well, unfortunately, but one or two of them show the creature quite clearly. I suppose the whole incident lasted for about fifteen minutes, because I looked at my watch the last time I saw it, and it said a quarter past seven. I've never seen anything so strangein my life.1.T2.F3.T4.T5.F6.T7.F8.FExercise 21.fast north middle2.giant head body3.thirty meters4.camera gone5.five minutes nearerPractice TwoOn April 14, 1868, two ships were scheduled to leave the busy port of New York for Europe. The night before, their captains met and had dinner together. The dinner was very ordinary and certainly neither man knew he would soon have a role in one of the world's greatest mysteries.The two ships left the next morning. Their names: the Dei Gratia and the Marie Celeste. After several days at sea, Morehouse, the captain of the Dei Gratia, sightedthe Marie Celeste, and he immediately recognized that something was wrong. It was not moving and there was no sign of life on deck. Morehouse and a few of his men took a small boat to the Marie Celeste to investigate. They searched every part of the ship and found nothing—not a man, dead or alive, no signs of illness or combat, no disruption. In fact, everything was ingood order, as if the crew had left ten minutes before. There was a ten-pound note on a table, with an unfinished letter home near it,a freshly washed stack of clothes in the laundry, and plenty of food and water. These signs of normal, everyday life on an empty ship were the strangest feature of the mystery. What had happened to the captain and crew? If they had been attacked, why was everything still in its place and why were there no signs of a struggle? If they had died suddenly from a disease, where were their bodies?Exercise 11.C2.D3.A4.B5.CExercise 21.alive2.illness3.order4.ten-pound5.unfinished6.freshly7.plenty8.normal 9.empty 10.strangest 11.attacked 12.strugglePractice ThreeEaster Island is one of hundreds of Pacific islands that were formed from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. It is, however, the only one of these islands that carries its own mysteries. First, it is isolated: it lies two thousand miles from theSouth American coast and fourteen hundred miles from the nearest inhabited island. But more importantly, it is a place where a mysteriouscivilization once flourished, leaving behind more than a thousand huge stone statues as evidence to its greatness. The first Europeans came to the island in 1722, when three Dutch ships landed on Easter Sunday. Since that time, thousands of archaeologists have come to Easter Island to study the great stone statues, some of which weigh over a hundred tons. The archaeologists' work has produced many answers, but we may never understand all of the history behind these stone faces. Even after a century of study, the written language found on the island has not been understood. In addition, no one knows for certain how the stone statues were transported or even why they were built.Exercise 11.T2.F3.T4.T5.F6.TExercise 21.About 1,400 miles2.More than 1,0003.Over 100 tons4.On EasterSunday in 1722 5.How they were transported and why they were builtPractice FourCrop circles are irregular circles that have appeared in farmers' fields across the world, mostly in England.Although crop circles first gained worldwide attention in the early 1980s, the first circles appeared much earlier. There is even evidence of crop circles as early as 1678in Hertfordshire, England. The first reported crop circle in modern times appeared in Tully, England, during 1966.During the summer of 1980, many circles appeared in the English countryside. The phenomenon was centered in the land around the town of Warminster, which was a world-famous UFO hotspot. As the years passed by, more and more circles appeared each year, usually between the months of May and August in the early morning hours. Crop circles spread beyond the Wessex counties of Wiltshire and Hampshire to other parts of England, and then, worldwide. Crop circles are now reported in over 30 countries, including Canada, Hungary, the United States, Japan, and the former Soviet Union. The circles grew more and more mathematically complex, and included rings, lines, squares, triangles, as well as circles.There were various theories about the origin of this strange phenomenon. Dr. Terence Meaden, a British physicist, believed that the circles were formed by electrified wind. He said that electrified air forms mini-tornadoes and spirals down on the fields, causing the circles. However, this theory does not account for the highly complex recent circles that have appeared. Hoaxers are often blamed for many of the circles, especially the more complex ones.Exercise 11.B2.B3.C4.B5.B6.AExercise 21.1980s2.Canada3.rings squares4.origin5.acccount forPart FourSection IThe Bermuda Triangle is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared in this area.Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. But some people believe that there is no mystery to be solved. The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, no explanation is needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes (Flight 19) disappeared on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical explanation as to why they disappeared is that lead pilot Lt.Taylor's compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was lost and simply ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the "mysterious" force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.Part A1.F2.F3.T4.T5.T6.F7.T8.TPart B1.disappeared2.size location3.unusual4.gravity fuel5.blew upSection IICan you name the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?Don't worry if you can't. Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. What makes it even harder is that only one still exists. Six of the Seven Wonders no longer stand, having been destroyed by natural disasters or by humans.The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World wasoriginally compiled around the 2nd century B.C. The first mention of the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century B.C. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments of the time. The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list included the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages.Here goes the list: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which has stood the test of time to this very day.Part A1.F2.T3.F4.T5.F6.TPart B1.disasters/doc/b99326391.html,piled3.impressive4.reveals5.religion6.structures。

Without creativity, we will not get the flash of inspiration and find the fourth word that the three unrelated words can share, and we will never be able to come up with so many creative ways that an everyday object like a chair, a coffee mug and a toothbrush can be used.The importance of creativity in our personal lives can’t be underestimated. Creativity is part of who we are and how we express ourselves in everyday life. Creativity is not something we are born with, nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence. It is a matter of using the resources we have to produce original ideas. Artists use creativity to express their ideas and visions through painting, wood carving, sculptures, graffiti, and photography, which provide us with visual feasts. Musicians, singers and songwriters use creativity to make music that touches us. Fashion designers use creativity to create clothes which make us look amazing. Scientists use creativity to invent things that facilitate our lives and change the world.Creativity is everywhere, in the food we eat, in the clothes we wear, in the places we visit, etc.With a creative eye, we find creative things, and with a creative mind, we create things.Listening and speakingNews reportScriptsA group of 30 prominent British and American scientists write an open letter to London’s The Guardian newspaper and say the current process for approving scientific studies is counterproductive and needs to be changed.In the letter, the scientists point out that almost all of the 500 major discoveries of the 20th century were started before 1970, and that many of those discoveries challenged the accepted science of the time and would probably not be funded today.They say that since then, researchers have had to make their academic peers believe the work would have enough benefits to justify the investment of time and money, which limits opportunities for open-ended research.The scientists note that before the 1970s, the funds available were small, but researchers were free to use the money however they saw fit. Nowadays, their proposals must include convincing evidence that the results would be beneficial for national policies.The 30 scientists are calling for a new effort to support independent-thinking researchers like the ones who made major discoveries in electronics, nuclear power, biotechnology, and medicine.Questions:1.Why did the scientists write the letter?2.What do we learn about the major discoveries in the 20th century?3.What kind of research is most likely to be funded today according to the scientists?4.Which of the following is not mentioned as an area where the scientists are calling forinvestment?Reference answersListening and understanding1.

BThinking and speakingThe importance of supporting research and development (R&D)The investment in R&D plays a significant role in the overall health and long-term sustainability of the economy of a nation. We think that in the next three to five years more investment should be made in basic research, core technologies, and interdisciplinary research.First, research is indispensable for innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedlystressed the importance of basic research as the source of innovation. Without basic research, there will be no innovation. And we think that more emphasis should be put on the training of basic research skills of the students in institutions of higher learning.Second, to solve the increasingly complex problems, such as climate change, environmental problems, and health problems, we think that more investment should be made in R&D, and the efforts made by researchers across various disciplines need to be united.Third, supporting D&R is good for a nation’s economy. R&D helps an industry to develop, design, and enhance its products, services, technologies, or processes. Continued advances in R&D are crucial to ensuring and increasing economic growth.Research areas to be supportedResearch areas that should be supported include but are not limited to:•space exploration•deep-sea exploration•biotechnology and medicine•(large-scale) integrated circuit•quantum technology•advanced manufacturing technologyConversationScriptsHost: Art and Business is an organization that develops creative partnerships between business and the arts. Peter Jones is going to talk about the company’s ideas. Peter,maybe you could begin by telling our listeners why Art and Business was created? Peter Jones:Well, in the 21st century, productivity is no longer just a matter of machines. The success of a company depends on the creativity of its people. The way to increaseproductivity is to stimulate creativity.Host: And what better way to stimulate creativity than through reading books？Peter Jones: Exactly. Every reader knows that a good book can stimulate the imagination and the intellect, get you thinking along lines you might not have thought of before, andopen up new worlds.Host: So, how can reading help somebody to become a more creative person?Peter Jones: Being creative needs active imaginations. When people interpret fictional scenarios, they are using their imagination. They combine imaginative skills with critical andanalytical skills.Host: Are we talking about the right and left sides of the brain?Peter Jones: Yes. Our logical left side of the brain interprets the language of a book. The creative right side looks at the forms of expression. The left side analyzes the plot while theright side is more interested in the relationships between characters –theemotional aspects.Host: How does this transfer to the world of business?Peter Jones: Creative ideas make businesses more competitive.

Chinaware, painting and calligraphy, oil painting, coins, arts and crafts, rare collections, and all sorts of art works you can think of are available on the platform. Running 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, its annual sales volume reaches over 10 million yuan. While creating its own brand, Artrade has also witnessed the changes in the purchasing habits of the Chinese people.•Example 2We think Swarovski is a good example of integrating art and business. With the making of the best lead glass crystals in the world as their passion, and with a wide range of colors, forms, and sizes, Swarovski has been welcomed since 1895. It has infus ed people’s lives with glamour.Activities inspiring creativityActivities that inspire creativity include but are not limited to:•writing poetry and prose•playing and listening to music•doing photography•acting•participating in art projects•playing games•traveling•brainstorming•meditatingPassage 1ScriptsCreativity is our ability to look at a problem and come up with a good solution. It has nothing to do with the subject matter or the job. There are creative inventors, but there are also very creative cleaners and teachers. While all of us are creative, we differ in the way that we are and to which extent.Michael Kirton came up with the Adaptation-Innovation Theory. He believes that when we solve problems, we are either more adaptive or more innovative. People who are more adaptive-creative try to do things better. People who are more innovative-creative try to do things differently. For example, to solve the specific problem of smelly cat litter, more adaptive types look for a solution inside the box. They might try to let the cat create less smelly litter, then increase the size of the sand particles, and finally add some refreshing tropical scent. More innovative types think outside the litter box. They come up with cat diapers, cat schools for good manners, or a robocat.Since these two types of people are so different, can they work together in a team? Actually, research indicates that involving different types of people in problem-solving could add a new perspective and make people more careful of drawing fast conclusions or falling into groupthink. The result is a more intelligent problem-solving process.Questions:1. Which of the following is true of creativity, according to the speaker?2. What does Michael Kirton believe?3. Why does the speaker mention cat litter?4. What will happen when adaptive and innovative people work together?Reference answersListening and understanding11. B2. D3. D4. D21) better 2) differently 3) inside 4) increase 5) outside 6) cat schoolsThinking and speakingCharacteristics of adaptors and innovatorsI would see myself as an adaptor because I tend to accept a problem as defined and preferestablished and structured situations. I like things that are predictable, and often feel uncomfortable and even nervous when unexpected things happen. For example, I prefer optimizing my way of doing the school tasks to coming up with an entirely different method.At a time when change is the only predictable thing, I need to improve my way of thinking, my way of doing things, and adapt myself to the fast-changing world.•I think I am an innovator. I often find myself in conflict with the established system, and I hate to accept the generally accepted perception. I like taking risks and feel that a life without risks is not worth living. The innovative side of me is evidenced in my study of math.I often try to come up with different ways of solving a mathematical problem, and everytime I succeed, I have a great sense of achievement.Adaptors and Innovators in teamworkThe advantages and disadvantages of adaptors:Advantages:•ensuring stability and continuity•essential to the functioning of an institution all the time•able to maintain high accuracy in long spells of detailed work•seen as sound, safe and dependable•providing a safe base for the innovator’s risky operations•…Disadvantages:•blocking new initiatives•producing a sufficiency of ideas based solely on existing agreed definitions of the problem and possible solutions•focusing on improving things rather than changing things or doing things differently •…The advantages and disadvantages of innovators:Advantages:•pursuing changes to reconstruct a problem, separating it from accepted thought, paradigms, and customary viewpoints•focusing on doing things differently which will lead to creative and innovative ideas •able to discover problems and avenues for solution•encouraging corporate initiatives, such as new products, new accounting procedures •…Disadvantages:•treating accepted means with little regard in the pursuit of goals•showing little respect to past customs while challenging the rules•not helpful in maintaining certitude in face of opposition•…Passage 2ScriptsPart IEvery year on April 21, the UN celebrates World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awarenessabout the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development.The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the resolution to celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 27, 2017. The UN chose April 21 as World Creativity and Innovation Day recognizing that “citizens and organizations in more than 50 countries around the world had already observed this day, which was first commemorated on April 21, 2002.” The first World Creativity and Innovation Day was observed in 2018.Part IINow the day has grown into a week. The website of World Creativity and Innovation Week says their mission is “to encourage people to use new ideas, make new decisions, and take the steps toward making the world better through creative thinking.”The UN says that innovation should be done keeping in mind every sector of the society. It lays emphasis on creativity and culture as they not only produce economic value, but also have a significant non-monetary value that contributes to inclusive social development, to dialog and understanding between peoples.It urges its member countries to make cultural and creative industries part of their economic growth strategies. The UN says, “These industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world eco nomy, generating $2.25 billion in revenue and 29.5 million jobs worldwide.”Reference answersListening and understanding11.

Creative industries are growing in economic importance for industrialized and post-industrialized nations. The production of lifestyles, cultural experiences, fantasies and images are coming to replace objects and things as the locus of the consumer society.As we can see from the first graph, creative industries accounted for an ever-increasing percentage of the GVA of the DCMS Sectors in UK economy between the years 2011 and 2017, nearly six percent in 2017. Also, the creative industries are a major source of dynamic job creation, providing over six percent of employment opportunities in 2017, as is shown in the second graph.Creative industries in China are also experiencing rapid growth due to a combination of state-owned and private-sector investment. Statistics show a steady increase in the contribution of creative industries to China’s GDP between the years 2011 and 2019, accounting for more than 4% in 2019, totaling nearly 4.14 trillion yuan. I believe that with the development of digital economy, an even faster growth of creative industries can be expected.Viewing and speakingScriptsHey, guys, I hope you’re all doing well and welcome to this week’s video. How good is your thinking game? Stay tuned as we discuss tips that you can use to be an outstanding thinker. Think outside the box is one of the most worn-out business and personal development clichés.While the urge to think outside the box is held in high esteem, it’s evident that there’s an apparent disconnect between what people say they’ll do and what they actually do. How many times have you seen people think outside the box? More importantly, how many times do you think outside the box? In simple terms, thinking outside the box can be described as thinking beyond the norm or being a nonconformist. Put simply, thinking outside the box does not mean that you need to defy gravity. It simply means that you need to be innovative with your ideas and solutions.In today’s video, we’re gonna discuss tips that you can use to think outside the box both in business and beyond.One, learn how to question the status quo regularly. Since childhood, we are bombarded with systems of doing things. We are told that we should go to school, work hard, get good grades, go to college and get that dream job. However, over the years, it’s be come evident that this system of life doesn’t work for everyone. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go to school and perform well. Education is important. However, sometimes you need to question the norm and learn to ask why. If someone presents you with in formation that you don’t understand, you should challenge yourself to read more and question more.Two, expand your knowledge. We often wound up following the same path due to limited knowledge. To expose your brain to different ideas, you need new knowledge. There are several ways to do this. You can choose to take a class in a different industry. You can also try learning a new culture to help you relate to different people around the world. Lastly, you can read books and novels outside your usual genre to stimulate your mind.Three, mind mapping. Mind mapping is a technique that allows you to map out an idea. Essentially, you’ll have the central concept in the middle of the map, and then expand the idea outwards into other boxes. For instance, I need to create a new blog about digital marketing. Since it was the main idea, I put it in the main box. I then drew other boxes connected to the main idea with different aspects of digital marketing, such as social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, affiliate marketing, SEO, among other things. I then broke downeach element into smaller branches until they turned into topics I could work with. With my simple mind map, I discovered an easy way to expand an idea.Four, draw an image. Visualize the problem you are facing and draw images to help you solve it. With an image, you can map out all the aspects of your issues and write down solutions to each element. For instance, maybe you have several bills to pay that all have different deadlines. You can draw a box with all the bills you have to pay and accompanying dates. Then have another box with all the income you have coming in on specific dates. As you look at both boxes, you’ll have an easier time remembering everything you need to pay and match it to a date when you have enough income to afford the bill.Five, think like a competitor. Thinking like a competitor in business is extremely beneficial. For this exercise, I would encourage you to have a brainstorming session. Ask yourself or (your) team to think like a competitor by pointing out some of the weaknesses you see in the business and possible solutions for the problems. You can also get ideas for new trends in the industry your business should take advantage of to stay ahead. This tech nique also works in one’s personal life.What are your thoughts on thinking outside the box? Share your comments, and let’s learn from each other.Questions:1. What is the aim of the video clip?2. Which of the following is considered a proper example of thinking out of the box?3. Which field is this video clip mainly targeted at?4.

Nowadays we are too often inclined to believe the accepted norms and follow them. We tend to stay in the comfort zone and do what the others do. This is harmful, and even dangerous. We should keep reminding ourselves that the world is advancing and things are changing, what was appropriate and correct in the past may not be appropriate and correct today. We need to develop critical thinking and question the status quo, especially when we find something we don’t understand or feel confused about. And to update ourselves on the progress in every field, we need to expand our knowledge through more reading, more listening, and more communication with people from different sectors and from different cultural backgrounds.•I like mind mapping and I often practice it. I once read an article and learned that mind mapping was created by Tony Buzan, a leading expert on the brain and learning, and co-founder of the World Memory Championships. A mind map is ideal for brainstorming, planning, information gathering, data presentation, and many other uses. It helps us break down complex topics into smaller, more understandable chunks, and it is great for sharing information and understanding complex topics. What makes a mind map so effective is that it allows us to use both sides of our brain.•I find Tip 4, drawing an image, very useful and I practice it quite often, especially when there are many deadlines I have to meet. I usually make a list of the things that I have to do along with the deadlines. I will then try to prioritize things. In this way, I manage to finish all the things in time.•In my view, the last tip, thinking like a competitor, is not only useful in the business world, but also in sports and other fields. I remember a time in high school when we were taking part in the school table tennis competition. We were lucky enough to enter the final. Our rival team was very strong, being the champion for the previous three years. We knew that there was one very strong player in the rival team who could beat any of us. We spent a long time thinking about how they would arrange their players and how to arrange the players of ours accordingly, and we succeeded in getting our weakest player playing with their strongest one. Their strongest one was wasted in a sense. We won the champion! Our excitement was beyond words and until now I can recall the disappointment on the faces of our rival team.Step 2•being open to dissenting opinions•changing the direction of thinking•meeting people with diverse experiences, views and backgrounds•developing positive emotions to broaden our attention and explore our environment •taking a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life•asking questions like “What would I do differently if I were starting from scratch?”•…Pronunciation1.

Your answer could reveal how creative you are.Michigan State University scientist Jeremy Gray has developed a simple word test to measure creativity. It’s described in the journal Behavior Research Methods.His team showed 193 participants a series of nouns and asked them to respond creatively to each with a verb. “Chair” –for example –could elicit “sit”... or more creatively, “stand.” The participants were also asked to write stories and draw pictures. Those who gave creative answers on the noun-verb test were also judged the most creative in the more traditional areas.Gray and his team are now giving the noun-verb test to participants while they are in an MRI machine to try to identify the parts of the brain that light up when creativity is called for. Their findings could eventually help students, entrepreneurs, scientists, and anyone who depends on innovative thinking.Questions:1. Why did Jeremy Gray develop the simple word test?2.

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, youshould 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. 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.

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 thepassage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5.

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 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.

And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.

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 bothgot 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 to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To 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 we chooseyou?”?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 your weaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviews.ScriptM:After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realized the importance of getting prepared for an interview.W: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.M: And 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.W: Yes. 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 and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.M: Besides, many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses, especially valuable to the job we’re applying for. W: 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.M: Sure! Many students will tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English.W: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, Excel, and so on. Students from lower-tier universities especially need certificates to show they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.M: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.W: Well, 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.M: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done speak for itself.W: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important leader of the Student Union of the University or the Department or you’ve organized a singing competition, etc., obviously you’re a good team player.Key1.T2.F3.T4. T5. F6.T7. TTask2 Are you ready for a phone interview?ScripNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interview. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses in 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 will 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 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 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.Question and key1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidateson the phone?B) To test candidates’ psychological stability when they speak on the phone.2. What can you infer from the speaker’s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?C) Without it, you may become disorganized while being interviewed.3. What does the speak say about your resume?C) Put it near the phone.4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?A) To reduce unnecessary words in an interview.5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on thephone?D) All of the above.Task3 Do you know how to write a resume? ScriptYour 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 emphasize 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 an employer is seeking. This means you would write one resume for one particular job and a different resume for another job. In other words, you need to “repackage” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately whether you are suitable person for the job. It is not dishonest to “repackage” yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you t get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range of jobs.Question and key1.Why does the speaker say a resume is important?C) Because it leaves a first impression and you have only one chance to do so.2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?A) Details3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptionsaccording to the passage?A) At the beginning.4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?C) Three.5. What is the passage mainly about?B) Resume tips.IV.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications had the same qualification, 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 answer took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key1.F2.T3.T4.F5.TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewScriptThere 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 to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this job, 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 weaknesses?” by the interview, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something relevant but hugely important to the specific positive, and always add something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure to 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 requirements. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would be applied to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.Question and key1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?C) Getting prepared for questions at a job interview.2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”C) How you can beat other competitors.3.What does the speaker advise you to stress when introducing yourself?B) Your present and future.4.What might the speaker advise you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”A) I don’t have any.5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?D) You should relate your strengths to the job requirements.Viewing and speakingHiring and firing1.

Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Medical Services on CampusWhile every university in America has its own policies and creates its own rules, most provide some type of medical service or health insurance for students, especially large universities. If students have a cold, or other illnesses, they can see a doctor, and they may also seek medical advice on a range of issues. Free testing for STDs such as HIV is a major part of disease prevention prevention——sharing important information about the epidemic. If students need a major operation or procedure, they must seek outside assistance, but the school may help them make the arrangements. Smaller universities and colleges are not likely to provide in-depth medical assistance; they usually deal with small problems in housing, and assist students to take care of major issues off campus. No medical services are offered in universities and colleges that do not have students living on campus.1. medical servicehealth insurance 2. medical advice 3. operation outsidemake the arrangements 4. medical assistance housingoff campus 5. living on campusTask 2: An Expensive TreatmentSteven had a temperature of 100.

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. Youshould 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. 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 of information aboutyourself.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 according to the passage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?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 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. 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 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 fromtextbooks 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. 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 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. 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 to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To 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 professionaland 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 s omething 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 we choose 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 your weaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

Is there any way to reverse this bad luck Yes—if you very carefully (S6)pick up all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be”(S7) washed away”..Of all number, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. (S8) Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified, and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, twelve gods had gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke, entered. After the meal, Loke killed Balder, who was the most beloved of all the gods.(S9) Friday the thirteenth of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the thirteenth of March is the worst of them all .The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is luck. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and (S10)when people talk about the "seven-year itch" they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change in personalityTask3: The Status on Easter IslandScriptOne of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues on Easter Island. The island is one of the most remote places on Earth, located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, but it is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who carved these statures, and how and why were they put thereNobody knows the answer for sure, but many ate trying to find out. There are many theories to explain this mystery. It has even been suggested the space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues. Another theory relates to the fact that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousand of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the color of sky and the sun , the shapes of clouds, and the presence of birds making flights out to sea seeking food. The Polynesians first arrived on the island in the ocean currents which carried them there would mot take them back. They were trapped and, having arrived there, could not leave. The Polynesians probable cared the statues themselves, perhaps as religious symbols.To date, 887 statues have been discovered on the island. However, only a few statues were carried intended destination. The rest were abandoned along the way.The statues appear to have been carved out of the top edge of walls of a volcano on the island. After a statue was carved, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the base of the volcano. Then it was put upright, and ropes were tied around it. Using a pulley system, the statue was moves to its intended destination.At its peak, the population of Eater Island is believed to have reached 11,000. Eventually, the resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating one another. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.1.When and by whom was the island discovered2.Who are mentioned in the passage as possible builders of the statues3.What is true of the Polynesians on the island according to the passage4.How many statues ere carried to their intended destination5. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passageKeys: 1A . D 5BFor ReferenceThe resources of the island became exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating each other. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people had died out.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1This is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts.Chris: Sue, do you know why people say, “knock on wood” when they want to avoid bad luckSusan: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it has a lot to do with ancient Celtic people. They worshipped trees.Chris: Sounds interesting.Susan: They thoughts trees would suck demons back into the ground. Chris: Well, when you think about the deep roots, their belief seems to make some senses.Susan: What’s more, knocking on wood was a way to brag without being punished. People once thought that evil spirits would become jealous if good fortune was pointed out to themChris: Uh, yes, go on.Susan: well, by knocking on wood three times, the noise could frightened away the evil spirits, and they couldn’t have to rob the braggart of that good fortuneChris: I’m afraid those who don’t know this superstition might be frightened away as well.Susan: Now here’s a test. Do you know how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originatedChris:I haven’t the slightest idea, but I’m all ears.Susan:Again this is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts. Since they worshipped trees, they conducted many of theirceremonies in the woods in the shade of trees.Chris: Now I see. Probably it’s under these mistletoe trees that weddings took place.Susan: I wish you were standing under some mistletoe right now. Chris: Luckily I’m not. Touch wood.MODEL2 Is there any relationship between superstitions and real lifeScriptChris: It’s strange that so many people are superstitious. There must be some relationship between superstitions and real life. Susan: You know, Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist researched the relationship between superstition and luck.Chris: What did he find Most people would be interested. At least I would Susan:He polled ,000 people and fond that people who believe themselves to be lucky tend to go for positive superstitions .They may weara ring as a talisman or often say,” tou ch wood” for good luck. Chris: Then, what about the unlucky people Do you mean if they think they ate unlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions abut bad luck. Susan: Yeah. They worry a lot about a broken mirror, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Chris: So what is his pointSusan: His point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror.Chris: So, our fate is linked to our attitude rather than to our superstitions.Susan: I think that’s what he is suggesting.Chris: This research seems too complicates. If I were a psychologist, I would conduct a survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number.I f there ere traffic accidents or murders on the 13th than on otherdays, then we have to believe in superstitions.Susan: What if there weren’tChris: Then I wouldn’t be superstitious.Susan: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon. Chris: Well as long as you don’t think I’m a fool.MODEL3 I believe ETs have visited the earth before.ScriptNora: Hey, what’s this picture of yours It looks like a flying saucer. Chris: It is. I was visited by aliens last week and this is a picture of their spacecraft.Nora: When I look closer, it resembles a liver Frisbee.Chris: But it could have been aliens. I believe ETs have visited the earth befor e. What do you thinkNora:It would be hard to believe otherwise. Projects like the pyramids are difficult to explain away, given the level of technology that was available at the timeChris: That’s for sure. They are mysterious.Nora: When you consider all those “impossibilities, it’s tempting to infer that some highly advanced civilization assisted humans in their construction.Chris: Think about this: if you were abducted by aliens and taken up to their spaceship or something …well…Nora: What do you meanChris: I mean, who would believe you You’d go nuts telling everyone: “It’s true! I was abducted by aliens!”Nora: And everyone would think you were crazy, or just making up a story to get attention.Chris: From what I understand,sometimes these people do go crazy, trying to convince people about their experiences.Nora: I believe that in some cases they offer pretty good evidence. Chris: So, take a closer look at this picture. Do you still think it’sa FrisbeeNow Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSimon: Eliza, do you know why people say” keep your fingers crossed”when they want to wish others luckEliza: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it’s a lot to do with an ancient Christian belief.Simon: Uh, go on.Eliza: In the Christian belief “making the sign of the cross” would keep away evil spirits and bad luck.Simon: I see. When you think about the cross, sign of Christianity, that belief seems to make some sense.Eliza: That’s true. That’s why children often cross their fingers when they tell a small lie. They want to keep bad luck away, or toavoid being punished.Simon:Sounds interesting. So, I’ll cross my fingers for you before you take the final examination.Eliza: Thank you.Simon: But those who don’t understand this superstition might be puzzled Eliza: With interesting communications among nations, more and more people can understand it now.V. Let’s TalkScriptThanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,”stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers. It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious people tended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once a toilet had been flushed. There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn’t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started.Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Horseshoes as a Sign of Good LuckScriptHorseshoes are a traditional sign of good luck. Most people believe this comes from the fact that the horseshoe is shaped like the crescent moon, a period of prosperity and good fortune. One legend has it that the Devil was in disguise and wandering at large, looking for trouble. He happened to call on St. Dunstan, who ea skilled in shoeing horses. St. Dunstan recognized the Devil and tied him to a wall with only his feet free to move. He then set to work shoeing him as though he were a horse, but with such roughness the Devil cried out for mercy. St. Dunstan stopped his work and released the Devil after making him promise never to enter a home on which a horseshoe was fixed. Witches fear horses, so they are also turned away by a door with a horseshoe mounted on it. The big issue regarding horseshoes is whether they should be hung points up or points down. The original superstition was that the horseshoe is points up to keep the luck from pouring out. Despite this view most buildings with horseshoes in their sign hang them the opposite way. The Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas hangs its horseshoe with the arc on top. They may be hoping their customers’luck runs out, but this is usually not something you advertise in your sign. Finger rings made of horseshoe nail are said to keep away bad luck. Also, robbing two horseshoes together is said to bring good luck.1.According to the passage, what does the crescent moon represent2.What did St. Dunstan do to the Devil3.What did the Devil promise4.What is the big issue concerning the horseshoe5.Why is the arc of the horseshoe up at the casino in Las VegasKeys: 2: Superstitions or real bad lucksScriptJoan: Pass me that mirror, would you I’ll see if my makeup is OK. Dick: OOOPS!! Sorry I dropped it…but is it you or me that gets the seven years of bad luckJoan: You, I hope, but probable neither of us. I wonder where that “old wives’ tale” originated anyway.Dick: There used to be a lot of superstitions: black cats, ladders, numbers. My parent and grandparents are full of them.Joan: I agree. People today are much more educated than before. These superstitions are just amusing pieced of history rather than beliefs, don’t you think soDick: Perhaps, but some people today still go for them. People whose livelihoods depend more on luck—like professional athletes, or fishermen—often they have superstitious routines.Joan: It’s rue. I have heard of athletes who wear lucky socks or a treasured medal to bring them good fortune.Dick: And let’s not forget lucky numbers. We all know about the number4,6, and 8 in China.Joan: I know 4 is death and 8 is wealth, but what is the significance of 6Dick: 6 means good luck. Some people include 6 in their e-mail address just for luck.Joan: Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are.Dick: Well, there are many things in the universe that we cannot control, and that’s why people are superstitious.Keys: TTFFTTask3: Career TransitionsScriptThere was a king in Africa who has a close friend that he grew up with. The friend has a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”One day the king and his friend were out hunting. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!”to which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail. About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied him to a stake surrounded by wood. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king had but one thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So they set the king free.As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb off and felt badly sorry about his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right,” he said, “it was good for my thumb was blown off.” Then he apologized, “I’m very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”“What do you mean, ‘this is good’How could it be good that I sent you, my good friend, to jail for all this time”“If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.!”For Reference1.He had a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying,“This is good!”2.After taking the gun, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.3.They set the king free, because being superstitious, they never ateanyone that was less than whole4.He felt sorry for his friend and went to the jail to apologize to him.5. If he had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.News ReportEgyptian TombsScriptArchaeologist have uncovered two tombs that date back more than 2,500 years in the part of Cairo where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood, according to Egyptian antiquity authorities.Although there is a modern suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo southeast of its ancient namesake, the original Heliopolis was known as a center of learning and academic study in ancient Mediterranean times.The 26-century-old tombs that date back to the years 664 to 625 BC were developed during a routine archaeological inspection of an empty plot of land in the Eins Shams district of northwestern Cairo. This district covers part of the ground that used to be the ancient city of Heliopolis. The owner of the land was seeking construction rights and by law, construction cannot begin without a permit certifying that the site has no historical significance.The first of the two limestone tombs to be opened contained a sarcophagus and sixteen statuettes, said the chief state archaeologist for the Cairo-Giza area, Zahi Hawass.Hawass said in a statement that the tombs were found in a d owntown residential area, three meters below the ground.[SOUND BITE]Hawass went on to give a more detailed account of the important find. [SOUND BITE]It appears that the tombs have not been raided by grave robbers, but they have been damaged by leaking sewage water.The first tomb to be uncovered belonged to a builder named Waja-Hur. His name was engraved on the statuettes, which the ancient Egyptians placed in tombs to answer questions for them in the afterlife.Te process of recovering these artifacts can be long and tedious, but the historical significance of these pieces makes the painstaking work worthwhile.[SOUND BITE]Egyptian archaeologists plan to open the second tomb on Sunday.。

Wang Jing, a computing student, as she was returning to her hostel after classes, saw a boy struggling in the river not far from the Foshan Bridge. The 10-year-old, Li Yi, had been fishing with a friend when he fell in the water. Wang Jing told our reporter, “I heard a splash, looked and saw a boy in the river. At first, the boy tried to swim back to the bank, but then I could see the current was too strong for him. There was no time to think. I just jumped in and swam over to him.” Li Yi, none the worse for his experience apart from a wetting, later praised his rescue, “I was really scared and then suddenly these strong arms took hold of me and took me to safety. I own Wang Jing my life. She’s my hero.”On that positive note, we end the news.
