Theirpurpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the “ins and outs" of that field from a practitioner. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate your interest in and suitability for a particular opport unity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have, explore the compatibility of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering.

The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementaryschools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832・ The purpose of the schoolwas to prepare students for college .Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about45 million students in the nation's elementary schools and high schools.Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job-training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good- tempered, their brisk* knoeking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter con tains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and dow n stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no dow nstairs letterbox .If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he hasto do his round*on foot, like his city colleague.Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG,” this is of little help to the postman- He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers. Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1. B 2 A 3. C 4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D 8. BPassage 2 Study in the United StatesThe latest report from the Institute for International Education gives information from the school year that began in September of last year and ended in May of this year. It says more than 500,000 foreign college students attended American schools during that school year.New York University in New York City had the largest number of foreign students. Almost 5,000 foreign students attended NYU last year. The University of Southern California at Los Angeles had the second largest number of students, about 4,500.The report says the State of California had the most foreign students, with about 66,000 living there last year. New York State wasnext, with about 55,000 foreign students.China sent the most foreign students to the United States last year.More than 54,000 Chinese students attended American schools. Japan sent the next highest number of students, almost 47,000. India was next, with about 42,000. And Korea was fourth, sending more than 41,000 students to the United States.The report says the most popular subjects of study for in ternational students in the United States last year were business and management. Twenty percent of all foreign students were studying those subjects. Fifteen percent studied engineering. Nineteen percent studied mathematics and computer science.A: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write T or F in the space provided. Discuss with your classmates why you think the statement is true or false.F 1. The school year in the United States begins in September of this year and ends in June of next year.

She was afraid her husba nd mightaccuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend £ 20 as her husband. Sometimes bothhusband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.Do you agree with the speaker that the woman's attitude is wrong?职业访谈与工作面试是一回事吗说起职业访谈(Informational Interview ),很多人都不清楚是什么意思。

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs* of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm. Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes. After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order. He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream. There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, "I love coffee ice cream," said Ana. After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray. "We didn't order coffee," said Edward crossly*, "we ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English." The waiter smiled and looked pleased."No," said Ann laughing, "it's his country. We ought to be able to speak his language."Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.B 2.C 3,D 4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 8.

Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised. Sometimes, to their delight, two young women stood on the horses' backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions' cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round. Then the most terrible thing happened; their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus. The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.

He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations*, or on tribal* lands. Others live in cities. Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons. The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college. The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes* create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino*, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishingrights, and mining* operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor* their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences. l.C 2.

You and seven million other tourists will fill Britain's capital city this season, jostling* each other along Oxford Street, getting lost on the Underground, staring at Buckingham Palace, and complaining about the food and the weather. What can you do when you're here? There are the obvious tourist attractions of royal London, the London of pageantry* and soldiers in fancy uniforms. There is historical London, with the ancient buildings and magnificent churches. A good introduction to all this can be found in the London Museum in the Barbican*. You can spend a lot of money, in shops from aristocratic* Knightsbridge* to democratic Marks and Spencer*, all of them anxious to receive travellers' cheques in almost any currency. There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid may Well be able to talk to you in your own language —though probably not in English, Restaurants are here by thehundred.

There's certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*.

When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.

Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family T erritory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door.Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they’re in someone else’s house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people’s belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won’t be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can’t have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don’t look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A: Listen to the passage and write down the missing words.1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space.2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he isentering a foreign country.3. People behave differently when they’re in someone else’s house.4. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space.5. It won’t be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between.Exercise B:Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialoguesDialogue 1Credit Card—I recently touring around America found there was a chap I was with ... He ... we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not let him go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy. (Right, right.) In other words we’ve got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look ... (That’s right, it doesn’tmatter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card?—Because you know you can’t rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you can’t rent without, without using a credit card, you can’t, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel ...—I think that what’s underneath that is the society in which you’re only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerized, (Yeah.) and can trace you, and everybody’s insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and ... that side of credit I find rather upsetting.—It’s kind of ugly, isn’t it?—Like a lot of people, it’s a great facility, if you’re disciplined with it. Key: 1. D 2. D 3. CDialogue 2 Card Insurances—I’ll tell you about one awful experience that happened to me, erm, I took out, erm ... one of these card insurances that cover all your cards (Mm.) should your cards be stolen and I had my handbag snatched* in a store and immediately got the store security, who were very quick, got me into their office and we phoned all of the credit cards that I had on me, within ten minutes.—Which is what they tell you to do?—Yeah. When, I suppose by the time we’d got to all of them it about halfan after the bag had been snatched. Got up to the top floor of the office, started ringing round, and the whole thing was done within half an hour. Erm, when the bag was snatched it went through apparently a chain of people, out of the store, and it went two miles away and they managed to ... three different people had spent over ￡2,000 on four of my cards ... —But you’re only liable* for the first 50.—I wasn’t liable for any of it. Because thank goodness I had this insurance.—None of it. Yeah.—But ...—Touch wood* quick. That was ...—.. .They’d spent it within twenty minutes of stealing.—That’s incredible, isn’t it?—And the thing that absolutely horrified me was I was close to limits on two of the cards, the ones that I do clear every month (Mm –mm.) I was close to the limit I’m allowed on those, and they, both of those cards they went into banks, said they were me, and got (No!) well over what the top limit would have been.—Really! Well it just goes to show, you could walk into a bank and get more than you could possibly ever pay off*!—I couldn’t probably, because I go in, and they say, “No, you’ve spent it all already!”—Right, right.Key: 1.

Each month the bank sends the holder a credit card statement setting out where purchases were made and totalling what is owing. A payment has to be made within 25 days of the date of the statement, but not necessarily the full amount. If the customer pays in full within this time the use of the card does not cost anything. But if he decides to pay only the minimum repayment shown on the statement --£5 or 5% of the outstanding* balance*, which- ever is the greater -- he automatically chooses to use the system’s extended repayment facility. The remaining balance is then carried forward and attracts interest at the rate of 2.25%per month.Bank credit cards are more versatile than store credit accounts in that they also enable people to obtain cash. Any bank displaying the bank card sign will arrange a cash advance* for a card holder, whether or not be is one of their own customers. For money drawn in this way the bank makes a charge at the rate of 2.25% a month calculated daily from the day the advance is obtained. Details of cash advances appear on the monthly bank card statement.The bank credit card system operates entirely separately from cheque accounts but nevertheless it is a customer’s previous relationship with his bank that is used as a guide to the amount of credit he will be extended. When a card is issued a personal credit limit is imposed indicating the maximum that can be owing at any one time. This is confidential* between customer and bank and does not appear on the card.Exercise A:The system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place.

FSection Three Oral WorkRetellingTen-year-old Anja Lea did not want to wash the dishes. She and her mother were arguing. The mother was threatening her and bribing her. I asked Anja Lea how much she felt understood by her mother about why she did not want to do the washing up. Here is a copy of our dialogue.“Okay, so Mom wants you to do the dishes and you don’t want to. Plus Mom said she isn’t going to take you to school until you do them? Is that right so far?”“Yes.”“Okay, so you are probable feeling forced…?”“Yes.”“And threatened…?”“Yes.”“Okay. And how much do you feel understood by your mom? From 0—10?”“Zero!”I then asked Anja Lea to explain why she didn’t want to do the dishes. The more she talked and the more I listened, the more she felt understood. Somewhere along the way, she started washing the dishes without any more arguments or protest! In a few minutes I asked her how much she felt understood by me. She said 8. I asked her what else she wanted me to understand. When she told me, I checked again to see how much she felt understood. This time it was a perfect 10 and the dishes were finished too!But this is not the end of this story. When she was in the car on the way to school Anja Lea voluntarily apologized to her mother for giving her such a hard time. The mother apologized in return, they bothaccepted the other’s apology and then shared a few tears and a loving hug.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPassage 1Parent-Teacher Associations6 million people in the United States belong to parent-teacher associations*, or PTA. PTA’s work is to help schools and students in their communities.Members give their time to serve on committees. They plan school projects and special activities, such as sales and other events to assist schools. Members also serve as activists for children’s issues* before government agencies and other organizations. There are national, state and local PTA organizations. PTA groups exist in the 50 American states and the District of Columbia. The PTA also operates in the United States Virgin Islands and in Department of Defense schools in the Pacific and Europe. These are schools for children of American military families.Three women are responsible for establishing the Parent-Teacher Association. Two of them, Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst, established the Congress of Mothers in 1897. Both women lived in Washington, D.C.Alice Birney proposed the plan for the group in 1895. Two years later,she met Phoebe Hears who provided the money to start the organization. Later, fathers, educators and other interested citizens joined the group. It then changed its name to the National Congress of Parent-Teacher Associations.Selena Sloan Butler is considered the third founder of the PTA. She established and served as the first president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers. In 1970, the congress united with the National PTA.The National PTA provides members with, among other things, information online about educational issues. It publishes a free newsletter called “This Week in Washington”on its website. It tells about developments that affect education.There are critics of the National PTA. In a recent book, education researcher Charlene Haar says the positions of the group mainly serve the interests of teachers unions. PTA spokeswoman Jenni Sopko says the group speaks for parents, students and teachers, and is not influenced by the unions. She also notes that other countries have used the PTA in the United States as an example to develop their own parent-teacher associations.Exercise A:1.

Is it necessary for schools in China to have PTA?2. What roles can PTA play at schools in China?3. If your parent is selected as the member of PTA. will you support him/her?Passage 2Your Legal Rights at the SalesJust who is doing the favour for whom in the sales? Are the shops really giving us shoppers a chance to buy bargains? Or are we justhelping them to clear their shelves twice a year to make way for new lines* -- buying up* the rubbish they would otherwise throw away?In most sales there is a bit of both. Some bargains are more genuine than others. Some price claims are true, while others are misleading or plain false.If the sale notice says “Coats -- reduced from £30 to £10”it should, by law, be true.The rules are that, unless a shop says otherwise, the coats must have been on sale at the higher price for at least 28 consecutive day s in the previous six months. They can, however, get around it by saying “Last week £30. Now £10.”Be a bit suspicious about a ticket which just says “Sale price £5.”It may mean the goods are specially bought in for the sale and does not necessarily indicate any reduction.And there is nothing to prevent the shopkeeper boasting: “Worth £50, only £20”or even “Normally £300, only £150.”Another practice which is frowned upon, though not illegal, is an imprecise offer, like “Up to £l0 off latest models.”It gives no clear idea of how much you have to spend or exactly what you have to buy to benefit.If you see a price claim you do not believe or feel to be misleading, you can complain to the local Trading Standards Office -- the town hallwill put you in touch.If you see a notice saying “No refunds on sales goods,”ignore it, but don’t forget it. It is illegal for shops to say this and you should report it to the Trading Standards Officer. He can order the signs to be removed.Sale or no sale, nothing can remove your right to your money back if the goods are faulty. If on the other hand, you just change your mind about something you buy in the sale the shop does not have to give you anything back.Goods labelled “seconds”have their own peculiar problems. You cannot expect something described as “seconds”to be perfect in every way, but the shop has no right to sell you anything that is not fit for the purpose for which it was made.A “slightly imperfect”kettle should still boil water and you can demand your money back if it doesn’t. So take your spectacles with you and never be afraid to ask what is substandard about the thing you are about to buy.Exercise A:You have the right to know the true price.

Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are oftenguarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they’re in someone else’s house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people’s belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won’t be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can’t have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don’t look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A: Listen to the passage and write down the missing words.1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space.2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country.3. People behave differently when they’re in someone else’s house.4. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space.5. It won’t be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. Exercise B:Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialoguesDialogue 1Credit Card—I recently touring around America found there was a chap I was with ... He ... we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not let him go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy. (Right, right.) In other words we’ve got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look ... (That’s right, it doesn’t matter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card? —Because you know you can’t rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you can’t rent without, without using a credit card, you can’t, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel ...—I think that what’s underneath that is the society in which you’re only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerized, (Yeah.) and can traceyou, and everybody’s insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and ... that side of credit I find rather upsetting.— It’s kind of ugly, isn’t it?— Like a lot of people, it’s a great facility, if you’re disciplined with it.Key: 1. D 2. D 3. CDialogue 2 Card Insurances— I’ll tell you about one awful experience that happened to me, erm, I took out, erm ... one of these card insurances that cover all your cards (Mm.) should your cards be stolen and I had my handbag snatched* in a store and immediately got the store security, who were very quick, got me into their office and we phoned all of the credit cards that I had on me, within ten minutes.— Which is what they tell you to do?—Yeah. When, I suppose by the time we’d got to all of them it about half an after the bag had been snatched. Got up to the top floor of the office, started ringing round, and the whole thing was done within half an hour. Erm, when the bag was snatched it went through apparently a chain of people, out of the store, and it went two miles away and they managed to ... three different people had spent over ￡2,000 on four of my cards ...—But you’re only liable* for the first 50.—I wasn’t liable for any of it. Because thank goodness I had this insurance.—None of it. Yeah.—But ...—Touch wood* quick. That was ...—.. .They’d spent it within twenty minutes of stealing.—That’s incredible, isn’t it?—And the thing that absolutely horrified me was I was close to limits on two of the cards, the ones that I do clear every month (Mm – mm.) I was close to the limit I’m allowed on those, and they, both of those cards they went into banks, said they were me, and got (No!) well over what the top limit would have been.—Really! Well it just goes to show, you could walk into a bank and get more than you could possibly ever pay off*!—I couldn’t probably, because I go in, and they say, “No, you’ve spent it all already!”—Right, right.Key: 1.

You know I was born in Lausanne*, Switzerland; myfather was Swiss-French Swiss and my mother was American,so, of course, we spoke both languages at home and I grew upbilingual. Then, of course, I learnt German at school - inSwitzerland that's normal. And because I was already fluent inEnglish, my second language at school was Italian. So I had areal head start (有利的开端)!Interviewer: So that's ... one, two, three, four - you had learnt four languages by the time you left school? How fluent were you? Suzanne: Urn, I was native speaker standard in French and English, butI'd become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was onlyschool standard. I decided the best option was to study in theUK, and I did Hispanic Studies at university, studying Spanishand Portuguese, with some Italian, and living in Manchester.Then I went to live in Brazil for two years, teaching English. Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six languages? Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasn't perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became prettygood!Interviewer: And then what did you do?Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to aninterpreters' school and then got a job in the United Nationswhen I was 28.Interviewer: And you've been there ever since?Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czech interpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987and that was where I learnt Czech.Interviewer: And the eighth language?Suzanne: Well, unfortunately the marriage didn't last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday,got a job and stayed for two years, which was when I learntJapanese.Interviewer: That's amazing! And now you're back at the United Nations? Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried on doing work for them when I was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria andSwitzerland, and I took a "sabbatical*" to work in Japan. Theyneed people who can understand Japanese. But, yes, I've beenback with them full-time for two years now.Interviewer: And your plans for the future?Suzanne: I'm going to learn more Oriental languages. It was such a challenge learning Japanese - it's so different from all the others.So I'll spend another two or three years here with the UNfull-time, during which time I hope to get a substantialpromotion, then I think I'll go back and learn Korean, orperhaps Chinese, and Thai - I'd love to learn Thai. And then,perhaps an Indian language. Whatever, I want to be fluent inanother three or four languages before 45.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.T 2.F 3.F 4.F 5.T 6.F 7.T 8.T 9. T 10. FPart 2 PassageThe Clyde RiverRunning through one of Britain's biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow, the Clyde River* was poisoned for more than a century bythe fetid* byproducts of industry.The waterway bore the brunt of(首当其冲)Glasgow's economic success during the Industrial Revolution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life.For the first time since the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a riverthat was once one of Britain's filthiest.The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumnat 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon in sevenof the nine major tributaries.The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, but last year's survey was the first to show they've come back in healthy numbers.Although commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fish's return is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the city's identity that two are picturedon its official coat of arms.The salmon's comeback is also a sign of big improvements to water quality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in recent years, salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated* water to thrive.The decline of Glasgow's main industries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was essentially fishless for decades during the worst periods of pollution.The closure of factories that had poured toxins* and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lightened dumping rules, and modern sewage processing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air.With worries rising about the environmental impact of enormous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good news for Scotland's fish lovers.Since the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to its history.The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s. Later, during the Industrial Revolution that began in the late1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the country's great manufacturing centers.The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular tourist destination.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionRivers are important to humans because they supply fresh drinking water, serve as home for important fishes, and provide transportation routes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1)Salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated water to thrive.2)The closure of factories that had poured toxins and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly and modern sewage processing plant s（污水处理厂）helped eliminate some of the foulsmells.3)The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s.4)The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.5)When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation（社会剥夺）and rough streets.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.l.A 2.

He says the nine chemicals that have joined the list of Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPS, are extremely harmful to the environment and to health.The newly targeted chemicals include products that are widely used in pesticides and flame-retardants, and in a number of other commercial uses, such as a treatment for head lice.These nine toxic chemicals will join the Stockholm Convention's original list of 12 Persistent Organic Pollutants, referred to as the "dirty dozen."The pollutants are especially dangerous because they cross boundaries and travel long distances, from the Equator to the Arctic. They persist inthe atmosphere and take many years, often decades, to degrade into less dangerous forms.They pose great risks to the environment and human health, especially to young people, farmers, pregnant women and the unborn.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about a ban of nine of the world’s most hazardous chemicals.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following passage.UN environment Program Executive welcomed the agreement to ban the production of nine of the world’s most hazardous chemicals that are extremely harmful to the environment and to health.

A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will focus on ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud (世界气象组织秘书长贾侯)says countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate. They must be able to respond to a world that is likely to experience more extreme weather events, such as floods and hurricanes.Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adapt to a dryer climate. He says they might have to modify irrigation systems or consider growing crops that do not require much rain.He says global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Therefore, better and more timely information on these phenomena are essential to make decisions onclimate variability and change. To do this, he says, weather observation networks must be strengthened.The WMO chief says climate change is a global problem. And, everyone needs everyone else to solve this problem. He says even the biggest, richest countries cannot do it alone. He says the developed world needs reliable weather information from developing countries andvice-versa.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an appeal for global cooperation to deal with climate change.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and answer the following questions.1)Scientists predict the world will get hotter over the coming decades.2)A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will focuson ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.3)Countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate.4)Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adaptto a dryer climate.

An unexpected discovery at the southern end of the reef has provided some rare good news for researchers.Researchers found that coral in the Keppel Islands off Queensland, which was damaged by bleaching in 2006 and then smothered by seaweed that overgrew the reef, has managed to repair itself.Experts say to see reefs bounce back from mass coral bleaching in less than a decade is highly unusual.Like other coral systems, the Great Barrier Reef is facing a range ofenvironmental threats. Scientists say their capacity to recovery from damage inflicted by warmer waters, for example, will be critical to its future health.The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's premier tourist attractions. It covers an area bigger than Britain and is the largest living structure on earth and the only one visible from space.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the Great Barrier Reef.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.

Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted. Mr. Ban urged people everywhere to pressure their governments to take decisive action to cut carbon pollution.Organizers are hoping that up to a billion people from small villages in Namibia to sprawling cities in Asia will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.One of the architects of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley from the conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms."The global economic crisis has proved that we are a global community, so when America goes bad, we all go bad and climate change is going to be on a scale that is way, way beyond our global economic crisis at the moment and we need to put in place the measures to a) slow that down and ideally halt it, b) be ready for economies that will have to change. So, the longer we procrastinate the more we pay the penalty so we need to move quickly," he said.Earth Hour was started by environmentalists in Sydney in 2007. It encourages households, businesses and governments to switch off all non-essential lights for 60 minutes in a show of unified concern for thehealth and future of the planet.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and its aim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year, which hopes to establish a new U.N. climate treaty.However, critics of Earth Hour have insisted it is simply a symbolic gesture that will not affect significant environmental change.The event will officially begin on the international dateline in the remote Chatham Islands southeast of New Zealand and will conclude in Hawaii.Exercise A: Directions: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a global event known as Earth Hour.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Scotland's Edinburgh Castle, the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing andthe pyramids in Egypt will join the Sydney Opera House in d imming their lights as part of Earth Hour.2.Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate changedemonstration ever attempted.anizers are hoping that up to a billion people will participate in aninternational effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.4.Andy Ridley, One of the architects of Earth Hour, says the currentfinancial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms.5.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and itsaim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year.Part 2 PassageLab produces shape-shifting fruits and vegetables Many fruits and vegetables we know almost as much by their shape as by their color or taste. Bananas are long and curved. Onions are round. But what if you could alter the familiar shape? Would a square tomato still be a tomato?Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits and vegetables so they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen. It can be done to some extent with traditional hybrid techniques. And as we hear from reporter Julie Grant, it can also be done by flipping a genetic switch.Ester van der Knaap steps gingerly around the greenhouse. We're at the Ohio State Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster.Van Der Knaap points out short, round tomatoes - and some odd-looking long, thin ones.V AN DER KNAAP: "That's one gene. One gene can make that difference."Van der Knaap's team discovered that gene and isolated it. They call it the SUN gene. And they've been able to clone it in tomatoes.Van der Knaap's research could lead to square-shapes - something she thinks the tomato industry might like. Square tomatoes fit into packages better. And, overall, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.So far money for her research has come from the National Science Foundation - not big ag.Designer fruit shapes are gaining popularity.People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes they want for a long time. But this is not the same thing.Dick Alford is a chef and professor of hospitality management at the University of Akron [Ohio].The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks have been doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference between cross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.Chef Alford watches students as they cut yellow crookneck squashand carrots.They're trying to make uniform, symmetrical shapes out of curvy and pointed vegetables. There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.ALFORD: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you could get a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great."In a country that loves hamburgers, Van der Knaap has heard that request before. But the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. She says there's more genetics to be studied.“Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes”, Van der Knaap says, “ we'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And maybe then we'll get those square carrots.”Exercise A Pre-listening Question(open)Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Your eyelids are starting to close and 7-11 is just around the corner. A soda or a bag of chips would be just the thing to perk you up*. So you, too, go out for an afternoon snack.Sometimes we eat simply because everyone else is doing it. Other times we eat when we feel tired, bored or depressed. Snacking for the wrong reasons can lead to overeating and unhealthy diet.Of course, there are times when our bodies really need extra energy. Here are four tips to keep your snacking on the right track.1. Know why you’re eating. Using food to change your feelings can be a dangerous habit. An order of French fries might distract* you from feeling sad for a while, but it’s only a temporary cure. Once the fries are gone, the problem is still there. If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Call a friend. If you’re feeling stressed, take a 10-minute walk.2. Find a healthy pick-me-up*. If you’re truly hungry, a healthy snack can give you the boost of energy you need. If you like fresh foods, bring a small bag of tomatoes or apples slices to work whit you. To tame your sweet tooth, try a handful of dried fruit. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick-me-up. They have the right combination of nutrients to give you the energy you need. But wait until you’re hungry to find something to eat. Plan ahead and bring something healthy whit you.3. Eat just one serving. Don’t open up a whole box of crackers and start munching away. Instead, pull out just one serving and put away the box.4. Think of snacks as mini-meals. Eating small, healthy snack can keep you from stuffing yourself at the next meal. Instead of eating three big meals each day, split them into four or five mini-meals. You may actually eat less food overall.Use these tips to help you plan snacks ahead of time. The next time you have a snack attack, tame your hunger the healthy way.Exercise A:a soda or a bag of chips; a piece of cake; a sandwich; a small bag of tomatoes; a small bag of apple slices; a serving of nuts; a glass of low-fat-milk; a serving of crackers, etc.Exercise B:1.

Eating small, healthy snacks can keep you from stuffing yourself at the next meal.Passage 2 Tips to Healthy Eating and Physical ActivityBreakfast fills your “empty tank”to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy-to-prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt *with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night’s pizza!It’s easy to fit phy sical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends. Take a 10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups—a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham* crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins*, or some dry cereal. Ifyou eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.Vigorous work-outs*—when you’re breathing hard and sweating—help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel best. Start with a warm-up that stretches your muscles. Include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such as running, jogging, or dancing.Follow up with activities that help make you stronger such as push-ups or lifting weights. Then cool down with more stretching and deep breathing.Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.You don’t have to give up foods like hamburgers, French fries and ice cream to eat healthy. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein*, carbohydrates*, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium* from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid and checking out the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels will help you get all these nutrients.Eat more grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels* and pita*. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.Bananas, strawberries and melons are some great tasting fruits. Try vegetables raw, on a sandwich or salad.A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part—or food—is different. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni* pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals.And don’t forget about moderation. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, you don’t need a third.Exercise A:People should eat natural foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today. Eat more grain fruits and vegetables.To keep fit, you should do regular physical exercise every day, such as running, jogging, dancing or riding a bike, etc.Exercise B:1. B2. C3. D4. A5. A6.D 7. B 8.

It didn’t take long for the beer, but my search for just the right clock took a few years.In my search I found a cuckoo clock, an old French Tic-Tac clock, and a gold time piece giving the precise time anywhere in the world. Than came the grandmother clock with the lovely crystal panes*—butstill no chiming grandfather clock.Suddenly I received a phone call from a friend. She knew a man whose mother had to move out of her home and furniture was being sold. She asked whether I was interested in a very old clock.I made the trip into the countryside and found a small German home with lovely flower gardens.The family greeted me as a long-lost friend. We had coffee and apple cakes and then we headed for the attic.I knew the minute I saw him—the old grandfather. Surely he would be expensive! I said, “Yes!”We returned to our coffee and I asked the big question. “How much?”I paid 45 German Marks in cash, one large can of peaches, a poundof coffee, and a box of Lipton Tea.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesAn estimated 135 million people have low vision.40 to 50 million others cannot see at all. Healthy experts warm that the number of blind people will increase sharply as the world population grows, and grows older. They say the number of blind people could almost double by 2020.Yet the World Healthy Organization says that in eight out of ten cases, blindness can be cured or avoided. October the ninth was World Sight Day. A campaign called vision 2020 released* materials to help government and health workers develop national plans to prevent blindness.Vision 2020 is a joint effort of the WHO and International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. The goal is to end prevention blindness by 2020. The campaign targets four main causes.Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy. In most of Africa and Asia, cataracts cause at least half the cases of blindness that can be cured. A simple operation can remove cataracts*.Trachoma* is an infectious disease spread person-to-person and by insects. Trachoma causes about 15 percent of all cases of blindness. Most of the cases are in Africa. The disease can be treated with antibiotic medicines and an operation to correct the damage.The disease known as river blindness is also found mostly in Africa. Flies spread the infection. A yearly treatment of the drug Mectizan can control the disease.Finally, a lack of vitamin A as a result of poor nutrition is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.Vision 2020 says that every five seconds another person in theworld goes blind. Most blind people live in developing, nations. India has at least nine million. About six million are in China, and seven million in Africa. Officials estimate that the world economy loses about 28,000 million dollars each year from curable blindness.A resolution passed by the World Health Assembly in May urges all governments to develop national plans to prevent blindness.Exercise A:1. The world Sight Day is on October the ninth.2. The World Health Organization says in eight out of ten cases, blindness can be cured or avoided.3.

Exercise:1.a2.b3.b4.a5.a Part2 Listening and Note-takingRalph NaderRalph Nader is a man of few possessions. He owns very little and lives in a small apartment. He doesn't have a car or a TV set. Hedoesn't have many clothes and he doesn't care about money when he makesa lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn't smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen.When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled "Unsafe at Any Speed," which was abouta car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industryand showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader's work, a law was passed to make car safer.After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967,again because of Nader's work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader's efforts. The first was to ensure the safety of gas pipelines -- these are the pipes that take gas across the country from one town to another. The second was to protect people from radiation --that is, the dangerous radiation which may leak from nuclear sources. The third was to ensure the proper standard of poultry -- that is, the chicken and turkey meat.Ralph Nader, now one of the most influential people in the United States, has set a wonderful example of what determined men and women can do to improve the quality of life in their country.Exercise A:1.

Their purpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the "ins and outs*" ofthat field from a practitioner*. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate* your interest in and suitability for a particular opportunity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have, explore the compatibility* of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads* as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to meet for an informational interview, try contacting employers or organizations found in one of the closed stack*directories in the CRC* library.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.D2.

The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in the nation's elementary schools and high schools. Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are alsojob-training programmes in high school and programmes toteach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves.Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are j olly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compel led* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG," this is of little help to the postman- He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.

She was afraid her husband might accuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend ￡20 as her husband. Sometimes both husband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.Do you agree with the speaker that the woman's attitude iswrong?职业访谈与工作面试是一回事吗说起职业访谈（Informational Interview），很多人都不清楚是什么意思。

The answer, they suggest, is greaterinvestment in nutritional services and improvements to health system.The research involved poor to middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland was the lead author of the series. He says more than 3.5million mothers and children under 5die in poor countries each year because of under-nutrition.News Item 2Last week, Bill Gates retired from full-time work at the world’s biggest computer software company, Microsoft. He will remain chairman of the company he established with Paul Allen in 1975.Mr. Gates left Microsoft at a time of change in the computing industry. Early on, Microsoft understood the importance of the “network effect”. That is, software is the kind of product that increases in value as more people buy and use it.At 52 years old, Bill Gates is currently the third richest man in the world. He is worth about 58 billion dollars. Mr. Gates will now spend most of his time working at his charity organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation is the world’s largest charity with over 37 billion dollars. It providesmoney for health, education and other projects, mostly in developing countries.News Item 3The competition between Microsoft and Google took a new turn on February first. Microsoft made a public offer to buy the Internet company Y ahoo. Microsoft says the combined companies would be in a better position to compete against Google in the online services market.This week, Y ahoo rejected the offer. Its board of directors said the price undervalued the company. The offer was worth almost 45 billion dollars in cash and stock, or 31 dollars per Y ahoo share. Y ahoo is said to want 40 dollars a share.Microsoft says it offered a full and fair price. It says moving forward quickly with the deal would be in the best interest of shareholders. Y et since February first, the value of Mi crosoft’s offer has fallen to 29 dollars a share because of a drop in its stock.Microsoft thinks it could better compete against Google with Y ahoo’s expert knowledge. Microsoft could attempt a hostile takeover. But that is not the way it normally does business, and there is risk of angering Y ahoo’s employees.Section Three Oral WorkMan: Are you ready to order?Woman: Er, yes, please.

The British Theatreis world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*.

Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness,Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance policies*. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans. For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge the minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about 800 dollars a year. The insurance pays [or hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also pays for laboratory tests and x rays. And it pays ninety percent of the cost of drugs prescribed by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control, care of the teeth or eyeglasses. And it does not pay for preventive care such as injections* that prevent disease.Students at Boston College in Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or lo buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about 500 dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a/line period. It does not pay for eye glasses, hearing aids*, or dental* treatment.Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs. Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do net need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.Exercise A: Listen to the report and complete the following sentences. 1. Students at American universities must have healthinsurance, because health costs in the United States are high.2.

It guides how employees think, act, andfeel. Corporate culture is a broad term（广义的术语） used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics（企业伦理，公司道德）, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement（宗旨）and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.How does a company's culture affect you In many, many ways.For instance:The hours you work per day, per week, including optionssuch as flextime and telecommuting.The work environment, including how employees interact,the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun orhostile environment - or something in-between.The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire*and things such as casual days.The office space you get, including things such ascubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display ofpersonal items.The training and skills development you receive, which youneed both on the job and to keep yourself marketable forfuture jobs and employers.Onsite perks（特别的待遇）, such as break rooms, gyms andplay rooms, daycare facilities, and more.The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you canask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as:What's it really like to work here?What skills and characteristics does the company valueHow do people get promoted around hereThe bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot oftime in the work environment ---and to be happy,successful and productive, you’ll want to be in a placewhere you fit the culture, a place where you can have avoice, be respect and have opportunity for growth.A：Pre-listening QuestionMany articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members".Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.B：Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as: What's it really like to work here What skills and characteristics does the company value How do people get promoted around here2.(Open)Section ThreeNewsNews Item 1News Item 1英巴首脑就巴冲突问题举行会谈On his way home from his first official visit to the United States, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari stopped in London for two days of discussions. 在首次正式访问美国之后的返回途中，巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里在英国停留两天，讨论问题。

He will remain chairman of the company he established with Paul Allen in 1975.Mr. Gates left Microsoft at a time of change in the computing industry. Early on, Microsoft understood the importance of the “network effect”. That is, software is the kind of product that increases in value as more people buy and use it.At 52 years old, Bill Gates is currently the third richest man in the world. He is worth about 58 billion dollars. Mr. Gates will now spend most of his time working at his charity organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Microsoft made a public offer to buy the Internet company Y ahoo. Microsoft says the combined companies would be in a better position to compete against Google in the online services market.This week, Y ahoo rejected the offer. Its board of directors said the price undervalued the company. The offer was worth almost 45 billion dollars in cash and stock, or 31 dollars per Y ahoo share. Y ahoo is said to want 40 dollars a share.Microsoft says it offered a full and fair price. It says moving forward quickly with the deal would be in the best interest of shareholders. Y et since February first, the value of Microsoft’s offer has fallen to 29 dollars a share because of a drop in its stock.Microsoft thinks it could better compete against Google with Y ahoo’s expert knowledge. Microsoft could attempt a hostile takeover. But that is not the way it normally does business, and there is risk of angering Y ahoo’s employees.Section Three Oral WorkMan: Are you ready to order?Woman: Er, yes, please.

The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter-- and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.Y ou may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.C 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. D6. C7. B8. DPassage 2Health InsuranceMost full-time students at American universities must have health insurance, 12qis is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness,Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance policies*. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans. For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge the minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about 800 dollars a year. The insurance pays [or hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also paysfor laboratory tests and x rays. And it pays ninety percent of the cost of drugs prescribed by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control, care of the teeth or eyeglasses. And it does not pay for preventive care such as injections* that prevent disease.Students at Boston College in Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or lo buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about 500 dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a/line period. It does not pay for eye glasses, hearing aids*, or dental* treatment.Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs. Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do net need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.Exercise A: Listen to the report and complete the following sentences. 1. Students at American universities must have health insurance, because health costs in the United States are high.2. Many American colleges have health centers where minor medical problems can be treated.3. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor offers its health insurance plan that costs about $800 a year.4.

Their purpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the "ins and outs" of that field from a practitioner. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate your interest in and suitability for a particular opportunity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have, explore the compatibility of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to meet for an informational interview, try contacting employers or organizations found in one of the closed stack directories in the CRC library.Part 3 NewsNews item 1This presidential election is creating unusual interest and excitement across America, especially with young people and Democrats.The Democrats hope to reclaim the White House after eight years of Republican presidency.

As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in the nation's elementary schools and high schools. Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job-training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG," this is of little help to the postman- He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.

She was afraid her husband might accuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend ￡20 as her husband. Sometimes both husband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.Do you agree with the speaker that the woman's attitude is wrong?。
