(how to give artificial respiration) 1—5— 6 —4—2— 3 —7Tapescript：Artificial respiration.By holding the patient in this position, his lungs will be drained of any liquid almost immediately.Lay the patient on his back ……press the head backwards and the lower jaw upwards ……seal the patient’s nose by pinching his nostrils together ……then, place your wide open mouth right round his and blow hard ……and repeat six times quickly and then at about ten times a minute.Repeat the action each time the patient's chest falls.Carry on until the patient breathes naturally or help arrives.B.

Listen at the mouth and nose.·Lift the neck from behind and press down on the forehead.·Pinch the nostrils and keep the palm of hand on the forehead, with the other hand to keep the neck up.·Make a tight seal over the mouth.

(Oh.) Now, if the person isn't breathing, that's probably because the airway is blocked. (Ugh!) Often withdrowning victims the tongue has fallen to the back of the throat. (Ooh!)So, what you do is lift the neck from behind with one hand (Mm-hmm …)and press down on the forehead with the other; that way the head is tiltedbackward and the chin points upward. (Oh yeah.)Peggy: You mean like this?Instructor: Mm-hmm, yeah, that's it. (Mm, good.) Now, this should lift the tongue forward and clear the airway. OK? (Mm-hmm.) (Mm-hmm.) (Mm-hmm.)If the person still isn't breathing, you've got to start artificial respirationright away. Now, watch. You're going to pinch the nostrils and at thesame time keep pressure on the forehead with the same hand.Ron: Hmm, it's kind of awkward with just one hand.Instructor: N … well, use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the nostrils (Ah.) and press with the other three fingers and the palm of your hand on theforehead — (Oh, yeah, like that.) cause you need the other hand to keepthe neck up. (Mm-hmm.) OK? (Mm-hmm.) Press a little harder, Peggy.(Oh, OK.) There, that's not bad. So, now, open your mouth wide, take adeep breath, and put your mouth over the victim's mouth, and blow.Ron: Should we like … like to seal off his mouth?Instructor: Yes. That's important. Thanks. Ron. Make a tight seal over the mouth.Now, the first four breaths should be given as quickly as possible. Youwant to get a lot of oxygen into the blood, and you want to get it in fast.(Mm-hmm.) Now, after four quick breaths, if air is getting into thelungs …Peggy: Yeah, but how can w … how can we tell if the air is getting into the lungs? Instructor: Well, you listen at the mouth and you look to see if the chest is rising.(Mm-hmm.)Peggy: What if it isn't?Instructor: Well, then you have to start again with the quick breaths. (Mm.) OK?(OK.) Any more questions?Ron: No.Instructor: OK, so, if the air is getting into the lungs, (Mm-hmm…) continue breathing one full breath every five seconds. That's your normal rate ofbreathing, by the way.Ron: Oh, I didn't know that.Instructor: Yeah, and after each breath, raise your mouth away from the face to let the air escape, (Ah.) listen for air coming out of the lungs, and look to seeif the chest is falling. OK? Now, let's see you guys do it. Remember thehead-tilt and neck-lift position. (Oh yeah.) That's the key. You've got tokeep the head back and the chin up. Keep a steady rhythm, Peggy, (Got it.)once every five seconds. Come on, Ron, keep your finger on the nostrils(Oh yeah.) …Part III ClimbingA. WordsB. Complete the chart. (a radio feature)Figures Relevant information2 Number of British deaths last week9 Total number of British deaths this year30 Total number of British deaths over the past 5 years245 Number of deaths from different nations over the past 5 years 1000＋Number of persons badly injured31 Number of deaths in July and August40 Number of the members at gendarmerie Mountain RescueService at Chamonix80% Percentage of accidents due to mistakes made by climbers themselves3/4 Ratio of accidents happening on the way down the mountainC. Answer the questions.1. What happened in 1786?People ascended Mont Blanc for the first time.2. Who was the first woman to conquer the mountain? When?In 1808, a young waitress in Chamonix conquered the mountain.3. When do most of the accidents happen? Most of the accidents happen on theway down the mountain.4. What are some of the causes of accidents? What is the most common causeaccording to the speaker?Accidents are due to climbers’ tiredness, mistakes made by climbers themselves and the failure to take sufficient account of the weather conditions. Slips are the most common cause.Tapescript：It's often been said that many sporting activities such as climbing, caving and so on are safe — safer in fact than walking down a busy high street. But I wonder.The deaths of two climbers on the Mont Blanc massif last week brought the total number of British deaths on the French side of the mountain range to nine so far this year. And this means that a total of 30 British climbers have died on the massif over the past five years. But a staggering 245 climbers from different nationalities have been killed over the same period, and more than 1 000 have been badly injured. 31 died in July and August alone.Next year marks the bicentenary of the first ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard, but it is unlikely that these figures will be given much publicity in the celebrations. (The first woman to conquer the mountain was a young waitress in Chamonix: that was 22 years later in 1808.) Perhaps the figures should be publicized more, however, if only to inform people how many accidents during high mountain climbing can be avoided.According to the Gendarmerie Mountain Rescue Service at Chamonix, whose team of 40 gendarmes carry out all the rescue operations on the French side of the Mont Blanc massif, 80% of all accidents are due not to unforeseen conditions on the mountains, but to mistakes made by climbers themselves.Three-quarters of all accidents happen on the way down the mountain, when climbers are tired and liable to make silly mistakes, such as missing a footing or slipping on the snow or ice. Indeed, such slips are by far the most common cause of accidents. Failure to take sufficient account of weather conditions is another common cause of accidents.Part IV More about the topic: Street Food SafetySupply the missing words while listening.Para. 1: prepared, eaten, diet, 2500, cost, nutritious, designedPara. 2: health, bacteriaPara. 3: storage, cooling, formation, bacterium, 17 million, organisms, eight, running, removal, infectionPara. 4: safer, 15, 20Para. 5: project, agency, teaching, public, videotape, increased, inspectors Para. 6: successful, copyPara. 7: improve, market, services, cooked, uncooked, urgedPara. 8: welcome, recognizePart V Memory teat: Safety Near Schoolplete the following chart in note form. (traffic regulations and driving habits)Tapescript：In Austria, a first aid kit is compulsory. Driving licenses will be confiscated for an alcohol offence. On mountain roads the vehicle traveling uphill has the right of way.In Belgium, traffic from the right has the right of way. If you are involved in an accident you must stay at the scene until the police allow you to leave.In France, seat belts are compulsory outside built-up areas. If you are found to be over the alcohol limit you can be imprisoned for between 10 and 30 days as well as fined.In Holland, seat belts are compulsory for drivers and front-seat passengers unless they are under 1.6 meters tall. Children under six must sit in the back.In Italy, penalties are heavy for drunken drivers. Sometimes they can be put in prison for up to six months. Translation of driver’s license is essential.In Germany, a red warning triangle is compulsory. Parking facing the oncoming traffic is forbidden.B. Answer the true or false questions.

Anyway, Mark’s been knocked over by a car.B: Oh, is he badly hurt?A: Well, it could have been a lot worse. He’s been taken to hospital with suspected concussion but no broken bones as far as I know. I expect they’ll keep him in fora few days just to keep an eye on him.B: Well, how did it happen then?A: It seems that some fellow in a Jaguar ran him over as he was crossing the road outside the school.B: It’s a terrible corner that one near the school. There’s always such a lot of traffic.But wasn’t there someone there to supervise the children crossing the road?A: Apparently not. It seems the lollipop lady was off sick and, to make matters worse, Jason’s class teacher had let them out ten minutes early because he wasn’t feeling well. Can you believe it?B: Well, that’s very irresponsible.A: That’s what I said.A: But what about Mark’s mum? Wasn’t she meant to be picking him up?B: In fact, it was his dad who was picking him up and he was late ’cause he’d been chatting with some of his mates.B: Typical!A: Isn’t it just. Anyway, it’s Mark’s fault as much as anybody’s.B: Why’s that?A: Apparently, he just rushed across the road without looking to get to the ice-cream van and around the corner comes this Jaguar and ---- bang! ---- Mark’s in hospital.B: Was the driver going too fast?A: Yes, late for an appointment, I’m told.B: Do you think he’ll have to go to court?A: Oh, I’m sure he will. He was being breathalyzed by a policeman when I arrived. B: Mind you. That sort always gets off.A: Well, I’m not so sure it was his fault. Anyway, the lucky thing was there was a nurse walking past when it all happened and she was able to give Mark first aid treatment until the ambulance arrived. So that was a bit of luck, wasn’t it?11。

But when he first came up with the idea of overnight delivery service, nobody seemed to be interested in it. And now with its just-in-time delivery system, Smith has made FedEx a multi-billion dollar industry. FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.B. Fred must stay competitive in the following aspects:1) the quality of service2) the breadth of the network3) the unique services needed4) the costPart 3 Michael Dell vs. Frederick Smith (2)A.Efficient information system can A great part of the economy will work on “supply chain” because1) take out all the unnecessary costs of transaction and processing and help find more applicable products or services;2) shrink the distance between the source of demand and the source of supply. 1) About 40% of businesses today are operated on a fast cycle basis, so you’ll have a world of choice;2) Almost everything can be presented to you on a computer and you cancustomize almost anything;3) You can have it delivered very rapidly.B. Question: What keeps you going and what have you left to accomplish? Michael:Motivation: The opportunity in the industry, in the business Ambitions1. To be a leader not only in client computing, but also in the enterprise and servers and storage.2. To do business not just in the United States but all over the world3. To add a lot of services that go along with the productsFrederickPositive attitude towards future:Being truly excited about the company’s futurePositive attitude towards work:Enjoy going to work every dayLove to competeLove to innovateLove to work with a lot of wonderful people and sit right in the middle of a lot of very exciting business trends.Part 4 More about the topicSummary:One of the most fundamental steps toward a successful business is the business plan. It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。

Answer the questions briefly.B. True or False?Key (and Reasons): F T T F F T F F T FTapescript:Cashier: Ah, David Jones, I'd like a word with you. Come into my office for a moment, will you?David: Yes, of course, Mr. Cook.Cashier: It's about this course we sent you on at Westhampton — Word Processors — video — that sort of thing wasn't it?David: Computer Programming, actually. It was really interesting. I felt I got a lot out of it and, of course, with everything going over to computers now, you've got to know something about them, haven't you — especially if you're a junior accountants clerk like me.Cashier: Yes, of course, you work in Accounts. I'm glad to hear you thought the course was worthwhile. Still, there is this little matter of your claim for expenses. David: Oh, I left that on your desk this morning, Mr. Cook. I thought I'd better let you have it right away.Cashier: Yes, I've got it here. Now, let's see —it was a one-day course at the Institute of Technology on the 10th May, wasn't it?David: Not the Institute, Mr. Cook, the Technical College.Cashier: The Technical College? Oh, yes, of course. Now, what I don't understandis why you found it necessary to stay two nights in Westhampton to attend a one-day course. I understand it began at ten and ended at five. Surely you could have taken a cheap day return?David: Well, you see, Mr Cook, the first train from London to Westhampton wouldn't have got me down in time to be at the college by ten. The fare was the same — 18.50 pounds — they don't have cheap day returns mid-week.Cashier: Mmm — well — but I see you stayed in Westhampton on the 10th too. Why was that?David: Oh, I can explain that, Mr Cook. The course went on a bit longer than we expected, at least not exactly the course but the discussion afterwards, and then they said anyone who liked could stay on and do some work on the computers. I thought I ought to do that.Cashier: I still don't see why you had to stay the night.David: Well, what happened was I met someone there who lives near me and he offered to give me a lift home. The awful thing was that his car broke down on the motorway. They had to tow it away. It took ages. In the end we had to walk back about two miles to a village outside Westhampton — Greenfield, I think it was called. Anyway, there was a little hotel there — the 'Crown'. It was terribly late and we were starving, so we decided to spend the night there. There wasn't much else we could do really. 15 pounds bed and breakfast and 4.50 pounds for dinner. It seemed pretty reasonable.Cashier: 15 pounds bed and breakfast and 4.50 pounds the meal — I suppose that's not too bad at today's prices. But I'd like to know why you had to stay at the Park(Hotel) on the 9th. Thirty-six pounds bed and breakfast, that seems a bit on the expensive side to me.David: Oh, I wouldn't have stayed there if I could have found a room anywhere else, but practically everywhere was booked up. There was a Trade Fair on or something and most of the hotels were full with people from overseas and that. I was lucky to get in at the Park.Cashier: I see you paid 12 pounds for dinner there. I hope it was a good one. David: Oh, yes, Mr. Cook. The food's very good there.Cashier: I'm sure it is. Now, your total expenses come to 88.50 pounds —that seems rather astronomical to me for a one-day course.David: 88.50 pounds? Oh, of course that includes 2.50 pounds for lunch at the Tech.Cashier: I'm sorry, David, but I don't think the Chief Accountant will pass this claim as it stands. I'll do what I can, but I'm not too hopeful.David: Oh — er — thanks very much, Mr. Cook.Statements:1. The one-day course was called 'Word Processors'.2. David felt that he had learned a lot from the course.3. David worked in Accounts.4. The course was held at the Institute of Technology.5. It is possible for David to take a cheap day return.6. After the course was over, David stayed there and practiced on the computer for some time.7. The man who offered to give David a lift did not live very near him.8. When the car broke down on their way home, it was towed away quickly.9. David stayed in the Park hotel because most of the hotels were full of people.10. The cashier did not think David had spent too much money.Part IV More about the topic: How do children spend their money?A. Supply the missing information in Mr. McMill’s summary.B. Finish the findings of the survey.Findings of the survey·Children in China receive 66% as much money as their US counterparts.·Chinese children spend 40% as much as children in the US.·Chinese children save more of their income than US children.·Purchase ranking by children in US and ChinaTapescript:Teenagers and childrenTeenagers and children everywhere like to buy toys and special treats if they have the money to spend. Indeed studies show there are quite a few young consumers in the world today. But there are some real differences from country to country. An American business school professor has been traveling around the world studying justhow children tend to spend their money. He is trying to predict the international market place trends of the future.University Professor James McMill can tell you what type of consumers your economy is going to have in 15 years just by watching the way your children spend money today. He has been making spending predictions like that for thirty years now and is considered so accurate in the United States that advertising agencies frequently call upon his expertise. Over the last decade Mr. McMill began studying children in cultures outside the United States. His most recent stop was Beijing, China, where he studies the consumer behavior patterns of 780 children between the ages of 8 and 12, whose parents’ jobs range from professio nals to unskilled workers. Mr. McMill said he anticipated finding very little consumer behavior among China’s children. But he was wrong.“Those children are participating in the market place. Typically there is one child in the household and the child has two, four, six parents. In other words there are two parents and four grandparents, and they’re receiving a great deal of money. But I think it was a surprise to me how robust the economy was, you know firsthand, and how robust the participation in the e conomy was by the children.”Mr. McMill says most of the money Chinese children spend comes from gifts from their parents and grandparents. In addition, he says, 15% of the (Beijing) children he surveyed are given money for performing household chores and other 6% receive money for work outside the home. China’s children average three and a half store visits a week during which they average one and a half purchase. He estimates children in China receive only 66% as much as children in the United States becauseChinese children save more of their income than U.S children. Mr. McMill says the number one purchase for children in both the United States and China is the same thing---snacks.“But when you get to number two then, for our children it’s play, it’s toys, it’s play items; for their children it’s reading material we’ll call it. When you get to number three items, for the Chinese children, it will probably be school supplies and for our children it will be clothing. And when you get to the number four for their children it’ll be toys, play items because they like to play too, and for our children it will probably be electronics of some sort.”Part V Memory test: Radio Advertisements (Key: b d a c c a ) Key(to the questions):1.

In September, satellite pictures showed more than 20000 fires burning in the Amazon. Experts say most of these fires were set by farmers. The farmers were attempting to clear land to grow crops. The World Wildlife Fund says another serious problem is that too many trees in the Amazon rain forest are being cut down. The World Wildlife Fund says the fires show the need for urgent international action to protect the world's rain forests. The group warns that without such action some forests could be lost forever.2. Environmental issues swell to the full in Berlin this week, for the UN spongsored conference on global warming and climate change is the first such meeting since the Rio summit three years ago. With scientists and governments now generally ready to accept that the earth climate is being affected by emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, over a hundred countries are sending delegations. But how much progress has been made implementing the greenhouse gas reduction target agreed on at Rio? Simon Dary reports...Part II The Earth at risk (I)A.I (Interviewer): Brian Cowles is the producer of a new series of documentaries called "The Earth at Risk" which can be seen on Channel 4 later this month. Each program deals with a different continent, doesn't it, Brian?B (Brian Cowles): That's right. We went to America, both North and South and then we went over to Africa and South-East Asia.I: And what did you find in each of these continents?B: Starting with Africa, our film shows the impact of the population on the environment. Generally speaking, this has caused the Sahara Desert to expand. It's a bit of a vicious circle we find. People cut down trees for firewood and their domestic animals eat all the available plants — and so consequently they have to move south as the Sahara Desert expands further south. I mean, soon the whole of Mali will become a desert. And in East Africa: here the grasslands are supporting too many animals and the result is, of course, there's no grass — nothing for the animals to eat.I: I see. And the next film deals with North America?B: That's right. In the USA, as you know, intensive agriculture requires a plentiful supply of rain for these crops to grow, I mean if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow. And growing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil just blows away. This is also true for any region that is intensely farmed — most of Europe, for example. I: And what did you find in South America?B: In South America (as in Central Africa and Southern Asia) tropical forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. This is done so that people can support themselves by growing food or to create ranches where cattle can be raised to be exported to Europe or America as tinned meat. The problem is that the soil is so poor that only a couple of harvests are possible before this very thin soil becomes exhausted. And it can't be fed with fertilizers like agricultural land in Europe.For example, in Brazil in 1982 an area of jungle the size of Britain and France combined was destroyed to make way for an iron ore mine. Huge numbers of trees are being cut down for exports as hardwood to Japan, Europe, USA to make things like luxury furniture. These forests can't be replaced — the forest soil is thin and unproductive and in just a few years, a jungle has become a waste land. Tropical forests contain rare plants (which we can use for medicines, for example) and animals — one animal or plant species becomes extinct every half hour. These forest trees also have worldwide effects. You know, they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The consequence of destroying forests is not only that the climate of that region changes (because there is less rainfall) but this change affects the whole world. I mean, over half the world's rain forest has been cut down this century.Part III The Earth at risk (II)A.I: So, Brian, would you agree that what we generally think of as natural disasters are in fact man-made?B: Yes, by and large. I mean, obviously not hurricanes or earthquakes, but take flooding, for example. Practically every year, the whole of Bangladesh is flooded and this is getting worse. You know, the cause is that forests have been cut down up in Nepal and India, I mean higher up-river in the Himalayas. Trees would hold rainfall in their roots, but if they've been cut down all the rain that falls in the monsoon season flows sraight into the river Ganges and floods the whole country. The reason for flooding in Sudan is the same — the forests higher up the Blue Nile in Ethiopia have been destroyed too.I: Well, this all sounds terribly depressing. Um ... What is to be done? I mean, can anything be done, in fact?B: Yes, of course it can. First, the national governments have to be forward-looking and consider the results of their policies in ten or twenty years, not just think as far ahead as the next election. Somehow, all the countries in the world have to work together on an international basis. Secondly, the population has to be controlled in some way: there are too many people trying to live off too little land. Thirdly, we don't need tropical hardwood to make our furniture — it's a luxury people in the West must do without. Softwoods are just as good, less expensive and can be produced on environment-friendly "tree farms", where trees are replaced at the same rate that they are cut down.I: And, presumably, education is important as well. People must be educated to realize the consequences of their actions?B: Yes, of course.I: Well, thank you, BrianB.I: So, Brian, would you agree that what we generally think of as ... er... as er ... natural disasters are in fact man-made?B: Yes, by and large ... er ...

We know this because average temperatures are the highest since scientists started measuring them 600 years ago. The increase is about 0.2℃every year. This may seem very slight, but we know that slight changes in temperature can have a big effect on other things. Most scientists now believe this global warming is due to human activity.Jeff Jenkins is head of Britain's Climate Prediction Center. He explains how global warming can happen."Sunlight strikes the earth and warms it up. At the same time heat leaves the earth, but part of that is trapped by carbon dioxide and other gases in the earth's atmosphere. That has been happening ever since the earth was formed. But the fear is that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide produced by industrial processes and transport and so on will lead to a greater warming of the earth's surface. So that's the golbal warming that people are concerned about."People are most concerned about the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are oil, coal, wood and so on. When these burn, they produce the gas carbon dioxide. Many scientists agree that an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide and some of the gases in the atmosphere will increase the amount of warming. Computers are being used to predict what this may mean. They showed that there could be great changes in rainfall and the rise in the sea level as ice caps in the north and south poles melt. This could have a serious effect on agriculture according to Prof. Martin Perry of University College in London. He says it could become more difficult to grow food in the tropics at lower latitudes nearer to the equator."The most clear pattern emerging is the possibility of reduced potential production in lower latitude regions, and most generally speaking, increased potential in higher latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm, to put it extremely simply, and plants there are quite near their limits of heat and drought stress. An increase in temperature or reduction in moisture would place limits on crop growth."Woman: Global warming could reduce food production in lower latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm. Global warming could put more stress on plans and place limits on crop growth.Food production is only one area that could be affected. There could also be health and social problems. Prof. Antony MacMichael of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine believes that some rural areas are already suffering. And the insects and bacteria could spread disease more easily."Already a number of rural populations around the world are suffering from the decline of agricultural systems. Climate change would add to this. And we would expect that it would accelerate the flood of environmental refugees around the world. But it includes not just the food production systems, but the patterns of distribution of insects and infective agents around the world. It includes likely effects on patterns of hear-related food poisoning, water contamination and diarrhea diseases, lots of things like this that would respond sensitively to changes in climate."Woman: Global warming could affect the distribution of insects. Global warming could change patterns of heat-related food poisoning.Many countries now agree that something must be done to reduce the danger of global warming. But a worldwide agreement on lowering the production of carbon dioxide has been difficult to reach. This is because many economies depend on fossil fuels like oil. Scientists believe it's now the politicians in every region of the world who need to take action.Part V Do you know…?Environment has taken rather a back seat politically since the Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro nearly 5 years ago. But the problems that meeting highlighted had not gone away. One environmental think tank — the International Food Policy Research Institute — has been looking at the future of water and its report reflects growing concern at the huge leap in usage over the past few years.In some parts of the world, water consumption has increased five fold. And the institute, known by its initials IFPRI, says shortages could soon become the trigger for conflict and a major barrier to feeding the world's growing population. Here's Richard Black of our Science Unit."It's often been said that water rather than oil will be the cause of warfare in the next century. According to the IFPRI report, the time when that happens might not be far away. The number of people affected by water shortage will increase ten fold over the next 30 years, it says, which could well lead to large scale conflicts.The main reason why water is becoming a scarce resource is agriculture, which now accounts for 70% of water consumption worldwide, 90% in some developing countries. Countless farmers have switched from growing indigenous crops for the home market to high yield export varieties, which inevitably need far more water. But the IFPRI report says that in some regions water shortage is now the single biggest impediment to feeding the population. Water scarcity also leads to water pollution. In the Indian State of West Bengal, for example, over extraction of water from bore holes has led to arsenic poisoning which is estimated to have affected two million people so far. But the IFPRI report calls for better water management worldwide including financial incentives to encourage conservation."That report by Richard Black of our Science Unit.Unit 2Part I Getting readyA.B.

As you can see, this is very valuable work and I wonder therefore if you'd like to make a donation?Part II Christmas bird countsJohn James Audubon was an American artist in the early 1800s, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women's hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40 000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January 3rd. Volunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count. Jeffrey LeBaron is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to Mr. LeBaron, more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple."Each individual count is in a circle. It's a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it's always the exactly same area that's done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day."Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced bird watchers. "Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird."Part III Dolphin captivityA: A planned aquatic park in Denver is raising the ire of animal rights activists whoobject to a proposal to include a captive dolphin display. Although officials for Colorado's Ocean Journeys say they have yet to make a final decision on the issue, local and national activists have already instigated a "No Dolphins in Denver' campaign. As Colorado Public Radio's Peter Jones reports, the battle lines have been clearly drawn. P: Rick Troud, a former navy dolphin trainer based in Florida, is taking an active role in the "No Dolphins" campaign.R: Average age in the wild ranges anywhere in some of the studies between 30 and 40 years of age. In captivity, you can expect a dolphin to live maybe 5.13 years, and every 7 years in captivity, the dolphin population is dead.P: According to Troud, there are many reasons why dolphins can't live full lives in captivity.R: If you take a look at where the real dolphin is in the real ocean, you find the dolphin who swims 40 miles a day, is very family-oriented. These animals are separated from their mothers; that's a stress. You put them in a concrete tank where their sonar bounces off of walls, they can't swim in the same amount of time and direction that they can in the wild.P: Environmentalist and ocean explorer, Jean Michel Cousteau:J: There are some animals which reject captivity right away, and they're very suicidal. I've had one of those in my own arms for many days. The next morning when I came to take care of him, he was dead. And what he'd done was to swim as fast as he could from one end of the pool on ... to the other side and destroyed his head by hitting the wall. They have a very sophisticated brain. I don't think we have any rights to play with the lives of these animals.P: Cousteau's anti-captivity position is challenged by Dr. Deborah Duffield, a biology professor at Portland State College in Oregon. Her 1990 study compared captive dolphins to the wild population of Sarasota Bay, Florida. Among other findings, the study showed little if any difference in the average age of death. And Duffield says life is generally getting better for captive dolphins.D: The census data say that every time I do a census, I've got older and older animals in it as well as this normal age distribution that we've been looking at. So my feeling is that the trend in captivity has been that the group of animals that we're following are getting older, and if they continue to do that over the next five years, they will then indeed be older than the wild population.P: There is also a debate over the educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivity. According to Duffield, captive dolphins play an important role in our basic understanding of the animals.D: I firmly believe that we cannot learn anything about organisms that we share this world with if we do not understand how they live in an environment, and what they do, and that watching them go by in the wild will not do it. I cannot tell what an animal needs, unless I know how it operates, how it breeds, what it needs metabolically, and I can't learn that from animals in the wild.P: But Troud says the dolphin displays are anti-educational because the animals' natural behavior patterns are altered by captivity.R: In the wild, you don't have dolphins who beat each other to death. There are no dolphins that I've ever seen stranded on the beach, who are suffering from fractured skulls, fractured ribs or fractured jaws, as is the case in captivity.P: The Ocean Journey board will take all factors into consideration before making a final decision on whether to include dolphins in the park. For Colorado Public Radio, I'm Peter Jones.Part IV More about the topic: Birds----A Source of WealthMr. LeBaron says there are about 9 300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it."Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans."National Audubon Society editor Jeffrey LeBaron calls the world's bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect."People get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the er, the quality of life, um, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly."Jeffrey LeBaron says that while the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts show a decline in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part V Do you know…?Scientists have cataloged more than one and one-half million of the species that exist on Earth today. By some recent estimates, at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet.Up to 100 species become extinct every day. Scientists estimate that the total number of species lost each year may climb to 40 000 by the year 2000, a rate far exceeding any in the last 65 million years.Around the world more than 3 500 protected areas exist in the form of parks, wildlife refuges and other reserves. These areas cover a total of about 2 million square miles (5million square km, or 3% of our total land area).Today, more than 200 animal species in the United States are classified as endangered. More than 1 000 animal species are endangered worldwide.Little-noticed aquatic animals are in big trouble. In North America, a third of our fish species, two-thirds of our crayfish species and nearly three-quarters of the mussel species are in trouble.Unit 3Part I Getting readyA.B.

He didn’t know any other students and he didn’t know his way around the building. At 9 o’clock, he was at the main entrance with a crowd of hundreds of other students. All of them seem to know what to do except Steve. Then he found a notice. Rhere was a meeting for all the first-year students. He found them all waiting in the large hall. First, the director of the Polytechnic welcomed them. Then the head of students’ services, and finally the head of physical education.Head of physical education: I’m here to tell you about the sport you can do at the Poly. Here in Edinfton, we have a fitness room where you can doexercises to keep fit, and weekly you can do all sorts of sports, such astennis, football, hockey and badminton. But there was also many otheractivities. You can go sailing. You can go down-caves. You can goclimbing and many more. We hope all of you will take part in at least oneof these. If you want to join, come on weekly on Wednesday afternoon.Any questions?A student: What about swimming?Head of physical education: We don’t have our own pool. But you can swim in the public pools in Hanksy or Muston ferry.After the meeting was over, Steve looked at this timetable. His first class was business studies, and was in room 316.

Answer the question: Why can’t I forget the French teacher?(blank-filling)Key:Ques tion: Why can’t I forget the French teacher?Though he was serious and not very friendly, with him I really learned a lot. He was very strict with us. He made us work very hard. Because of the limitation of the teaching facilities, his classes were not very interesting, but he successfully made quite of us begin to like France and French. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages at the university. With him I learned that learning a foreign language is like opening a door or a window into a foreign country. And it helps us to see that the way we do things and think in our country isn’t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.Tapescript:(Part I)Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had for French when I was at school... er... er... Many years ago---- more years than I care to remember, I’m afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in my first year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teacher till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages ---- French and German ---- at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I don’t count Latin, because I never managed to speak any Latin at all. Er, well... this teacher didn’t make it easy... he didn’t make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot.When I think back, I ... don’t really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard ---- I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing ---- er, and he wasn’t very friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didn’t really try to make the classes interesting ---- I mean, no ... no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes ...but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hour’s conversation class every week. But, you know, because of that man ---- some people might say in spite of him ... no, that wouldn’t be fair, no ---- but quite a lot of us began to like France and the French a lot, and, er, to visit France in the summer holidays to see it for ourselves.(Part II)Yes, I think with him I learned that when you learn a foreign language ... it’s it ... well, it’s like opening a door or a window into a foreign country. And that’s good for you, I think, because you begin to see that the way they do things and think in your country is, um, isn’t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.It’s funny, I still have a very clear picture of that teacher. He was English but he didn’t look English somehow, he had very, very black hair and very dark eyes, and he wore glasses with black frames, but you could see his eyes very well, and everyone in the class always had the feeling that he was looking at them. And he had very thick, bushy eyebrows that made him look very, er, very serious.Yes, I remember he was very musical ---- played the piano very well and sang.Now, he was quite a good rugby and tennis player. Great family man, too. He had three children and a very interesting wife. I suppose he must have been in his thirties when I knew him ...Part III Teachers and PupilsA.The advantages and disadvantages of teaching as a jobKey (to the chart):B. The same speech-the second half (note-taking and flow diagram-completing)Key(to the flow diagram):According to Christine, there are two major changes in the relationship betweenteachers and pupils:a)THE QUALITY OF RELATIONSHIP (fill in the blanks.)b)The handing over of responsibility in classroom (Tick the right box.)↓C. The whole speech (answering a question: blank-filling)Key:What makes a good teacher?According to Christine, a good teacher:●enjoys instead of fearing the unexpected things that can’t be planned for;●is a good listener;●is someone that students trust as a person;●teaches students about “the big world” they’re going into, and about relationships andvalues as well as what is written in the textbook;●treats students properly and is able to develop appropriate relationships with students;●is able to take the students into a whole world which is magic and exciting;●really cares for students;●is skillful enough to organizes a well-ordered, relaxed, friendly and supportiveclassroom;●trusts students as individuals;●allows students to know more about him/her as individual;●takes students’ voice on board, and listens to students’ feedback which he/she finds avaluable resource in planning and developing his/her own work;●is able to earn the respect of students, and therefore builds up a relaxed relationship withthem.Tapescript:(Part I)Presenter: Christine teaches in a secondary school. What does she enjoy about being a teacher?Christine: I enjoy the fun you have, I enjoy the ... er ... the unexpected, the things that c...that you can't plan for. When we were at college I think the only thing that they ... they kept on about was planning lessons, and we used to have to make these lesson plans up and they always seemed to me like the great works of modern fiction, thelesson plans, because real lessons aren't like that, they don't work out the way you plan them and that's what makes it really interesting is that you just go in, thinking you're going to do thing A and it turns into thing B, depending on what the students do and say.And they're also so funny, yeah, I mean students are terribly entertaining a ... they're just a hoot. And they ... they come out with all these amazing things and they tell you things. And if you're any good at that they will trust you as a person. And so what you're teaching them in English is much less important than what you're teaching them about "the big world" and the world they're going into, and about relationships and values and things like that.I think the only downside is that it's terribly hard work and it's awfully tiring physically —and emotionally at times. But ... um ... children are just such nice people, and if you treat them properly then they'll do anything. You can ... you can turn them into anything you want if you treat them well and you develop appropriate relationships with them. Then there's very little that they can't learn and can't do, and a good teacher can take children into a whole world which is magic and exciting. (Part II)Presenter: What changes have taken place in the relationship between teachers and pupils since she was at school?Christine: I think that there has been a real change in the quality of relationships, I think they're much more open, more relaxed, less formal. Some people would say that implies a I ... a drop in the standards, I would disagree violently with that. I think that quality relationships bring quality work. And familiarity does not breed contempt,care and control are not opposites. If you care for children you manage your classroom well, and it is a well-ordered classroom, it doesn't mean it is not a relaxed classroom, it's not a friendly classroom, it's not a supportive classroom.What matters is that ... that it's a ... there is a good quality of relationship between the teacher and the student, and the student trusts the teacher as an individual and vice versa. And I think teachers have become more human and more open with their students and are more prepared to allow the students to know more about them as individuals. Students are involved much more in their own progress and their own assessment, they have a voice in their programs of study and their progress. And that voice has always been a vital voice and the teachers who failed to take that on board, who didn't listen to student feedback, were losing out on a whole valuable resource for planning and developing work: it's how the students are receiving the work.And I think one of the big changes has been the handing over of some of the responsibility in the classrooms to children. But it does, I think, demand more skill not less. I think it's much harder to take risks with youngsters, to be open, to be relaxed. It's easy to run an authoritarian classroom, it's easy to rule using t ... f ... fear and punishment and threat. But winning and earning the respect of children, and earning a ... a relaxed relationship and relaxed classroom, that's much harder. A relaxed classroom isn't about low expectations, it's about purposeful quality work. And it's very very hard to achieve, it's much easier to bully them into submission and shout at them.Part IV More about the topic: Computers and University LifePart V Memory test: Children of a DecadeTapescript:Presenter: In this edition of our series “Children of a Decade” I’ll be talking to Jack Thompson, who was born in 1940, and to Shirley Sutton, who was bornin 1930. First of all, jack, thanks for joining us. Perhaps...Jack: Not at all.Presenter: Perhaps you’d tell us about your memories of your first holiday away from home?Jack: Oh... yes... at age ten i think it was, yes, i went to stay with an aunt at the seaside. Well, it wasn’t a very happy experience. I felt very homesick atfirst.Presenter: Mmm. And what about your first day at school, can you remember that?Jack: Yes, I can. Er... er... I was five years old and I wanted to take all my toys with me but... er... they wouldn’t let me. In the end it was agreed that icould take my teddy... er... but only on the first day.Presenter: Oh, I see. Your school days, were they happy ones?Jack: Well... er... I didn’t have a very good time at school—I wasn’t very bright, you see. And the teachers didn’t seem to like me, but...er... I madea lot of friends and some of them I still keep in touch with. One of them Imarried.Presenter: Oh, that’s wonderful. Well, did you have a favorite teacher?Jack: Miss Robinson... or was it ... no, it was Miss Robson. My first teacher, that’s right yeah... very kind. Marvelous storyteller.Presenter: And who was your worst teacher?Jack: Mr. Goodman, that’s right. We used to call him “Goody”. Yeah, he pulled your ear if you made a mistake or talked in class. Yeah, my left ear is stillbigger, look.Presenter: Ha ha. Perhaps you can tell us about your last day at school?Jack: My last day, oh yeah, that’s emblazoned on my mind. Oh, I wanted to get my own back you see on old Mr. Goodman ---- the chap we used to call...er... “Goody” ---- so I put this bucket of water over the classroom doorbut it fell on him and he got soaked, you see. Ha ha. I’ve never seenanyone so angry. Oh, it was a good one, that.Presenter: Thank you very much, Jack. And now Shirley.Shirley: Yes.Presenter: Now, can you tell me about your first holiday away from home? Shirley: Oh yes ... er ... yes ... er ... at the age of eight it was. We went on holiday to the Lake District. We stayed at a little guest house, just me and my parents. Er (I)remember we had ... er ... honey for breakfast with ... er ... the toast and ... oh ... and porridge — I hated it.Presenter: That sounds lovely? Oh, porridge, you hated it?Shirley: Ha ha.Presenter: Well, what about your first day at school?Shirley: Well, I ... I ... I don't remember any special incidents ... er .... Oh, I was very frightened and shy at first ... er ... I ... I know that, I can remember, but I soon came to enjoy school.Presenter: So your school days, were they happy?Shirley: Oh yes, I loved school! Oh, I was sorry when half-term came and ... and when the holidays came. Oh, perhaps this was because I was a bit of a goody-goody. Presenter: And what about your teachers? Did you have a favorite?Shirley: I did, yes. I remember her well, she was called Miss Brown and she was our history teacher. Oh, she really made history come to life, she really did. Presenter: Were there any bad moments? Did you have a worst teacher? Shirley: Aye, I did and I can remember her name too. Her name was Mrs. Sharpe and she taught math. Oh, she had no patience. I wasn't all that good at math and she always said to me, "You stupid girl!" It put me off math for life.Presenter: Oh, what a shame.Shirley: I know.Presenter: Perhaps you could tell me about your last day at school?Shirley: Oh yes, well, I'm afraid I cried. We sang our favorite hymn at the end of the term and I cried. It brought the tears to my eyes.Presenter: Oh, and it's bringing a tear to my eye now. Thank you very much. Shirley: Thank you.Presenter: And thank you too, Jack Thompson, thank you very much. Next week we'll be hearing from two people who were born in 1920 and 1910. So from me, Libby Freeman, good-bye.。

新编大学英语第二版Book2 Unit1-4课文原文加翻译Unit 1 A Good Heart to Lean OnMore than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.[1] When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance , people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.[2] It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient —and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you. ”[3] Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.[4] When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn , N.Y., on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home..[5] When I think of it now, I marvel at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And I marvel at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.[6] He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able . What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.[7] Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people , even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.[8] Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager , he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.[9] On one memorable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving .He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! ”[10] Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive even before the bout began.[11] I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different. ” Those wordswere never said aloud.[12] He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of anoth er's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.[13] At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.” ( 703 words)【译文】善良之心，久久相依1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

Listen_this_way2_Unit1-Unit6听力原文

Listen this way. Book Two.Unit 1 Under the Same RoofPart ⅠGetting ready.A The following words and phrases will appear in this unit. Listen carefully andstudy the definitions.1. kindergarten:2. nursery school:3. kid:4. stability:5. discipline6. divorce:7. care for:8. coo:9. wedding.10. bride:B You are going to hear some people talking about pictures of their families.Listen carefully and identify which one of the following pictures each person is talking about.Number 1 This is my family. I'm married. My husband's name is Bill. We have two children — a boy and a girl. Our little girl is six years old, and our little boy is four. Jennie goes to kindergarten, and Aaron goes to nursery school. My father lives with us. Grandpa's great with the kids. He loves playing with them and taking them to the park or the zoo.Numberer 2 This is a picture of me and my three sons. We're at a soccer game. Orlando is twelve, Louis is ten, and Carlos is nine. All three of them really like sports. Orlando and Louis play baseball. Carlos is into skating.Number 3 This is my wife June, and these are my three children. Terri on the right is the oldest. She's in high school. She's very involved in music. She's in the orchestra. Rachel — she's the one in the middle — is twelve now. And this is my son Peter. He's one year older than Rachel. Rachel and Peter are both in junior high school. Time really flies. June and I have been married for twenty years now.Number 4 This is a picture of me with my three kids. The girls, Jill and Anne, are both in high school. This is Jill on the right. She'll graduate next year. Anne is two years younger. My son Dan is in college. It seems like the kids are never home. I see them for dinner and sometimes on Saturday mornings, but that's about it. They're really busy and have a lot of friends.PartⅡQ: Parent Link is an organization that looks at the problems that parents and children face. Its director, Tim Kahn, told us about the changing roles of parents and children.T: The authoritarian model was one in which the child had no rights and I guess in the 60s and parents the 70s many people rejected that and we had the sort ofthe permissive era — the age where many parents felt they had allow theirchildren to do whatever they wanted to do and so in a sense the roles werereversed and it was the children who were the bosses and the parents who ranaround behind them. The ideas that we offer to parents are kind of a thirdposition in which we’re looking at equal, where parents and children aredifferent but equal.Q: What about changes in the male-female roles?T: Society has changed a lot. As well as technology leading to great changes, people’s roles have changed very much, in particular the women’s movement hasvery much questioned the role of women and led many women to demand a freerchoice about who they are and how they can be. There’s a lot of frustrationwith how men haven’t changed, and it seems to me that the more thefrustration is expressed the more stuck in and being the same men are and weneeded to find ways of appreciating men for the amount of work that they haveto do in being bread-winners and providers for families and appreciating theefforts men are making to be more involved with their children.Q: Are there any changes you would like to see in the attitude to family life in Britain?T: In the past there were arranged marriages and I wonder if part of having an arranged marriage is knowing that you have to work at it to create the love andthat now people are getting married out of love and there’s a kind of feelingthat your love is there and it will stay there for ever and we don’t have to workat it and when it gets tricky we don’t know how to work at it and so we opt out.I think helping people learn to work at their relationships to make theirre lationship work be a significant thing that I’d like to see happening.Part III Family life then and nowJosephine Davies and Gertrude Smith, two members of the older generation, aretalking about their childhood in Britain 70 years ago.A Now listen to the following conversation. While listening for the first time, add more key words in the left-hand column. After the second listening, answer the questions.Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see ... in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem to do more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think.Question: What was your parents' role in family life?Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it. We had somebody who looked after us and then we also had someone who did the cleaning.Gertrude: Well, we lived in a flat, we only had three rooms and a bathroom. Father worked on the railway at Victoria Station and my mother didn't work, obviously. My father's wage I think was about two pounds a week and I suppose our rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know as rent was - I'm going back a good many years. We didn't have an easy life, you know and I think that's why my mother went out so much with her friends. It was a relief for her, you know really.Question: Did you have a close relationship with your parents?Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn't feel that way, we didn't think about it very much I don't think. I think today people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything, which we didn't. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn't have a television or even a radio and we would play games in the evenings rather than have conversation, I think.Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days?Josephine: Oh yes, I do think so, yes. We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the conversation and decide whether the statements after the conversation are True or False. Put "T" or "F" in the brackets.Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see ... in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem to do more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think.Question: What was your parents' role in family life?Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it.

We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.Statements:1. Seventy years ago young people often smoked and drank in front of others.2. Apart from a great deal of work outside, Josephine's mother also looked after her children and did the cleaning in the house.3. Gertrude's father earned two pounds a week.4. Gertrude's family had to pay ten shillings a week for their flat.5. Young people seventy years ago deeply felt that they did not have a very close relationship with their parents.6. Nowadays people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything to them.Part ⅣMore about the topic: Father's DayThe following passage is about the father's role in the family. Supply the missing words while listening.Father is a very formal word today. Most people use the word "Dad" or "Daddy" instead. On Father's Day children might take their dad out for a meal. They might send him a greeting card or call on the telephone, or they might buy him a present.Not all children however will see or speak with their dad on Father's Day. Studies say about 24% of American children live in a family without a father. This is three times more than in 1960. Back then only 8% of children lived in a family without a father.One reason is the increasing children born to women who are not married. Studies show the children growing up without a father are more likely to be poor. They are more likely to leave school before completing their education, and they are more likely to become involved in crime or illegal drugs.Another reason for the large number of American families without fathers is the increasing of the number of people who have ended their marriage. The divorce rate in the US has increased sharply in recent years. Today more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce. In 1960 the rate was only 6%. After a divorce, a judge decides which parent will care for the children. In about 70% of cases, the judge decides that the children will live with their mother. In about 8% of the cases, children live with their father after a divorce and in about 15% of the cases children live with each parent at different times.The image of fathers in America has changed especially since the 1960s. Before then, many people felt that fathers were not supposed to become involved with theirchildren or to show love for them. This was not a part of a father's image as a strong and emotional man. Fathers were the leaders of the family. They earned the money. They made the rules. They punished the children when they were bad. Back then fathers did not always spend a lot of time with their children. Most mothers stayed at home to care for them. They also did all the shopping, cleaning and cooking.During the 1960s and 1970s, however, more American women began to work outside the home. As a result, more and more fathers became interested in taking care of their children and helping their wife. Yet, most studies today show that women still spend more time caring for their children and doing housework. This is true even if the wife works and earns the same amount of money as her husband.Several studies show that fathers who are involved with their children are usually more happy and in better health than fathers who are not involved. So celebrating fatherhood is important for men not only on Father's Day but throughout the year.Part ⅤMemory test: Brothers and SistersYou are going to hear a young lady talking about the relationship between brothers and sisters. After that several questions will be asked. Find the right answers as quickly a possible according to the notes you have taken while listening. Woman: Well, my brother was six years younger than I, and er, I think that when he was little I was quite jealous of him. I remember he had beautiful red curls (mm) ... my mother used to coo over him. One day a friend and I played, erm, barber shop, and, erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down) ... That's right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother just was so upset, and in fact it's the f irst ... I think it’s one of the few times I've ever seen my father really angry.Man: What happened to you?Woman: Oh ... I was sent to my room for a whole week you know, it was terrible.Man But was that the sort of pattern, weren't you close to your brother at all?Woman: Well as I grew older I think that er I just ignored him ...Man: What about ... you've got an older brother too, did ... were they close, the two brothers?Woman: No, no my brother's just a couple of years older than I ... so the two of us were closer and we thought we were both very grown up and he was just a ... a kid ... sowe deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time.Man: What was he doing down there?Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work ... And, erm, I didn't, I can't even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married. But I re ... I do remember that later on my mother was showing me pictures of his wedding, 'cause my mother and father went down there (uh huh) to the wedding, and er, there was this guy on the photos with a beard and glasses, and I said, "Oh, who's this then?" 'cause I thought it was the bride's brother or something like this (mm) ... and my mother said frostily, "That ... is your brother!" (laughter)Questions for memory test:1. According to the passage, how many brothers does the lady have?2. When the sister saw her mother coo over her younger brother, how did she feel?3. What's her father's reaction when he got to know that the sister had cut off her younger brother's hair?4. How old was her younger brother when she left home?5. Where did her brother eventually live?6. Who was the guy on the photos with a beard and glasses?Unit 2Part IBWhen parents make a lot of rules about their children's behavior, they make trouble for themselves. I used to spend half my time making sure my rules were obeyed, and the other half answering questions like “Jake can get up whenever he like, so why can’t I?"or “Why can't I plays with Angela?"Jack's mum do esn't mind who he plays with"or"Jack can drink anything he likes. Why can't I drink wine too?"Jack's mum, I decided was a wise woman. I started saying things like “Of course, dear. You can drink as much wine as you like” and "No, I don't mind how late you get up”and "Yes,dear,you can play with Angela as often as you like."The reault have been marvelous. They don't want to get up late any more, they’ve decided they don't like wine, and, most important, they’ve stopped playing with Angela. I’ve now realized(as Jack's mum realized a long time ago)that they onlywanted to do all these nasty things because they weren't allow to.Part II Radio phone-inRadio presenter: Good afternoon. And welcome to our midweek phone-in. In today's program we're going to concentrate on personal problems. And here with me in the studio I've got Tessa Colbeck, who writes the agony column in Flash magazine, and Doctor Maurice Rex, Student Medical Adviser at the University of Norfolk. The number to ring with your problem is 01, if you're outside London, two two two, two one two two. And we have our first caller on the line, and it's Rosemary, I think, er calling from Manchester. Hello Rosemary.Rosemary: Hello.Radio presenter: How can we help you, Rosemary?Rosemary: Well, it's my dad. He won't let me stay out after ten o'clock at night and all my friends can stay out much longer than that. I always have to go home first. It's really embarrassing …Tessa: Hello, Rosemary, love. Rosemary, how old are you dear?Rosemary: I'm fifteen in two month's time.Tessa: And where do you go at night — when you go out?Rosemary: Just to my friend's house, usually. But everyone else can stay there much later than me. I have to leave at about quarter to ten.Tessa: And does this friend of y ours … does she live near you?Rosemary: It takes about ten minutes to walk from her house to ours.Tessa: I see. You live in Brighton, wasn't it? Well, Brighton's …Rosemary: No. Manchester … I live in Manchester.Tessa: Oh. I'm sorry, love. I'm getting mixed up. Yes, well Manchester's quite a rough city, isn't it? I mean, your dad …Rosemary: No. Not really. Not where we live it isn't. I don't live in the City Center or anything like that. And Christine's house is in a very quiet part.Tessa: Christine. That's your friend, is it?Rosemary: Yeah. That's right. I mean, I know my dad gets worried but it's perfectly safe.Maurice: Rosemary. Have you talked about this with your dad?Rosemary: No. He just shouts and then he says he won't let me go out at all if I can't come home on time.Maurice: Why don't you just try to sit down quietly with your dad — sometime when he's relaxed - and just have a quiet chat about it? He'll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn't always safe for young girls to go out at night.Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to come and pick you up from Christine's house once or twice.Rosemary: Yes. I don't think he'll agree to that, but I'll talk to him about it. Thanks.

He won't let me stay out after ten o'clock at night and all my friends can stay out much longer than that. I always have to go home first. It's really embarrassing …Tessa: Hello, Rosemary, love. Rosemary, how old are you dear?Rosemary: I'm fifteen in two month's time.Tessa: And where do you go at night — when you go out?Rosemary: Just to my friend's house, usually. But everyone else can stay there muchlater than me. I have to leave at about quarter to ten.Tessa: And does this friend of yours … does she live near you?Rosemary: It takes about ten minutes to walk from her house to ours.Tessa: I see. You live in Brighton, wasn't it? Well, Brig hton's …Rosemary: No. Manchester … I live in Manchester.Tessa: Oh. I'm sorry, love. I'm getting mixed up. Yes, well Manchester's quite a rough city, isn't it? I mean, your dad …Rosemary: No. Not really. Not where we live it isn't. I don't live in the City Center or anything like that. And Christine's house is in a very quiet part.Tessa: Christine. That's your friend, is it?Rosemary: Yeah. That's right. I mean, I know my dad gets worried but it's perfectly safe.Maurice: Rosemary. Have you talked about this with your dad?Rosemary: No. He just shouts and then he says he won't let me go out at all if I can't come home on time.Maurice: Why don't you just try to sit down quietly with your dad — sometime when he's relaxed - and just have a quiet chat about it? He'll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn't always safe for young girls to go out at night.Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to come and pick you up from Christine's house once or twice.Rosemary: Yes. I don't think he'll agree to that, but I'll talk to him about it. Thanks. Part ⅢFamily discipline1. Discipline needs to be there in a certain amount but too much of it can be a bad thing I think and I certainly do get too much of it occasionally.2. I think talking to them, trying to explain why you're upset, what it is they have done wrong is better than hitting them, because if you hit them, they learn to hit other things, other people, you, and I don't think that is a solution to anything.3. My experience as, as, as a mother now is you can, you can talk with a child verymuch and, and the child is going to understand much more than you believe, even if it is a one-year-old or two-years-old child. And I think it's um it's a very bad thing punishing children, because it remains being er an awfully er dark experience, and so it was it for me too, because when I'm thinking about my parents I can't help thinking about these days where they punished me.4. I wouldn't be as strict as my dad was, definitely not, cos （because 的缩写）I don't think that works. That only makes you rebel.5. Well, there's smacking and smacking. I don't at all agree with beating a child, but I do think sometimes a quick, short smack on the hand or arm is better than a long drawn-out moan. It's quick and the child understands it.6. I can't really defend it when I, when I hit my child, I don't do it often but something about it makes me think that it's not … a terrible thing to do. I mean, what are the alternatives? You can shout at your child, you can try to sit down and reason with your child, which is incredibly difficult if you're trying to talk to a two-year-old. Or what else can you do? You can send them out of the room, you can send them up to their room, you cannot let them … have any puddi ng for the dinner, or something, but I mean to me a little spank, to me it's quick, it's honest, it's physical, but having said all that I still try not to do it.PartⅣ填空题不传原文PartⅤA.Louisa: She doesn’t let me watch that much TV after school, which is really annoying because most of my friends watch Home and Away and Neighbors but I only get to watch one of them. I sometimes don’t—I mean I think that’s really unfair so sometimes I just watch both anyway.Mother: First and foremost, Louisa watches a fair amount of television whether she thinks she’s deprived or not, she must watch at least 45 minutes per day. And when I’m not around you know I know the child sneaks in a fair amount more than that. So she gets in a fair amount of television, certainly on the weekends. But I am of the opinion that television, very very very few programs will teach them anything. And I think when a child is under your care for 18 years it’s the parents’ responsibility to make sure that the input is of value, and I don’t t hink television, much television is of any value at all, I think reading a book and doing her piano lessons are far more valuable than watching crummy American soap operas.Questions for memory test:1. How many TV plays are mentioned?2. For how long a time does Louisa watch TV per day?3. Does Louisa try to get more time to watch TV?4. Which activities does Louisa’s mother think are far more valuable?B. My parents gave me a lot of free time. After dinner, during the week when I was say even 15 years old they would let me go out until ten o’clock and they would never ask where I went. I would smoke cigarettes and drink beer, at 15 years old I would hang out in the ... in the local pubs and these were type of things that I don’t think were too good for me at that time. I think my parents should have, you know, maybe at least showed an interest as to where I was going. They never even asked where I was going and they, they gave me a lot of free time, and I think that they, they felt that this was a thing that was being a good parent. But I think that teenagers are very native, and I was as a teenager very native, and I think I could have used a little more direction from them. These days a lot of parents think they should be lenient with their children, they should let them grow and experience on their own. And I think that’s what my parents were doing, I think there’s a Biblical saying”Spare the rod, spoil the child” and I think that really applies. And I think you need to direct especially young people. They can be thrown into such a harsh world, especially if you live in a city. I lived in a very small village and it was still a rough crowd that I found in that village. And my parent never asked questions, and if they only knew they would be shocked.Statements:1. When the boy was 15 years old, he could stay out until ten o’clock.2. At the age of 15, the boy was not allowed to smoke cigarettes or drink beer.3. The boy thought his parents were very good because they gave him a lot of free time.4. The boy lived in a very crowd city.Unit 4 Going to School (Ⅰ)Part ⅠGetting readyA The following words and phrases will appear in this unit.

In September, satellite pictures showed more than 20000 fires burning in the Amazon. Experts say most of these fires were set by farmers. The farmers were attempting to clear land to grow crops. The World Wildlife Fund says another serious problem is that too many trees in the Amazon rain forest are being cut down. The World Wildlife Fund says the fires show the need for urgent international action to protect the world's rain forests. The group warns that without such action some forests could be lost forever.2. Environmental issues swell to the full in Berlin this week, for the UN spongsored conference on global warming and climate change is the first such meeting since the Rio summit three years ago. With scientists and governments now generally ready to accept that the earth climate is being affected by emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, over a hundred countries are sending delegations. But how much progress has been made implementing the greenhouse gas reduction target agreed on at Rio? Simon Dary reports...Part II The Earth at risk (I)A.I (Interviewer): Brian Cowles is the producer of a new series of documentaries called"The Earth at Risk" which can be seen on Channel 4 later this month. Each program deals with a different continent, doesn't it, Brian?B (Brian Cowles): That's right. We went to America, both North and South and then we went over to Africa and South-East Asia.I: And what did you find in each of these continents?B: Starting with Africa, our film shows the impact of the population on the environment. Generally speaking, this has caused the Sahara Desert to expand. It's a bit of a vicious circle we find. People cut down trees for firewood and their domestic animals eat all the available plants — and so consequently they have to move south as the Sahara Desert expands further south. I mean, soon the whole of Mali will become a desert. And in East Africa: here the grasslands are supporting too many animals and the result is, of course, there's no grass — nothing for the animals to eat.I: I see. And the next film deals with North America?B: That's right. In the USA, as you know, intensive agriculture requires a plentiful supply of rain for these crops to grow, I mean if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow. And growing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil just blows away. This is also true for any region that is intensely farmed — most of Europe, for example. I: And what did you find in South America?B: In South America (as in Central Africa and Southern Asia) tropical forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. This is done so that people can support themselves by growing food or to create ranches where cattle can be raised to be exported to Europe or America as tinned meat. The problem is that the soil is so poor that only a couple of harvests are possible before this very thin soil becomes exhausted. And it can't be fed with fertilizers like agricultural land in Europe.For example, in Brazil in 1982 an area of jungle the size of Britain and France combined was destroyed to make way for an iron ore mine. Huge numbers of trees are being cut down for exports as hardwood to Japan, Europe, USA to make things like luxury furniture. These forests can't be replaced — the forest soil is thin and unproductive and in just a few years, a jungle has become a waste land. Tropical forests contain rare plants (which we can use for medicines, for example) and animals — one animal or plant species becomes extinct every half hour. These forest trees also have worldwide effects. You know, they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The consequence of destroying forests is not only that the climate of that region changes (because there is less rainfall) but this change affects the whole world. I mean, over half the world's rain forest has been cut down this century.Part III The Earth at risk (II)A.I: So, Brian, would you agree that what we generally think of as natural disasters are in fact man-made?B: Yes, by and large. I mean, obviously not hurricanes or earthquakes, but takeflooding, for example. Practically every year, the whole of Bangladesh is flooded and this is getting worse. You know, the cause is that forests have been cut down up in Nepal and India, I mean higher up-river in the Himalayas. Trees would hold rainfall in their roots, but if they've been cut down all the rain that falls in the monsoon season flows sraight into the river Ganges and floods the whole country. The reason for flooding in Sudan is the same — the forests higher up the Blue Nile in Ethiopia have been destroyed too.I: Well, this all sounds terribly depressing. Um ... What is to be done? I mean, can anything be done, in fact?B: Yes, of course it can. First, the national governments have to be forward-looking and consider the results of their policies in ten or twenty years, not just think as far ahead as the next election. Somehow, all the countries in the world have to work together on an international basis. Secondly, the population has to be controlled in some way: there are too many people trying to live off too little land. Thirdly, we don't need tropical hardwood to make our furniture — it's a luxury people in the West must do without. Softwoods are just as good, less expensive and can be produced on environment-friendly "tree farms", where trees are replaced at the same rate that they are cut down.I: And, presumably, education is important as well. People must be educated to realize the consequences of their actions?B: Yes, of course.I: Well, thank you, BrianB.I: So, Brian, would you agree that what we generally think of as natural disasters are in fact man-made?B: Yes, by and large ... er ...

We know this because average temperatures are the highest since scientists started measuring them 600 years ago. The increase is about 0.2℃every year. This may seem very slight, but we know that slight changes in temperature can have a big effect on other things. Most scientists now believe this global warming is due to human activity.Jeff Jenkins is head of Britain's Climate Prediction Center. He explains how global warming can happen."Sunlight strikes the earth and warms it up. At the same time heat leaves the earth, but part of that is trapped by carbon dioxide and other gases in the earth's atmosphere. That has been happening ever since the earth was formed. But the fear is that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide produced by industrial processes and transport and so on will lead to a greater warming of the earth's surface. So that's the golbal warming that people are concerned about."People are most concerned about the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are oil, coal, wood and so on. When these burn, they produce the gas carbon dioxide. Many scientists agree that an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide and some of the gases in the atmosphere will increase the amount of warming. Computers are being used to predict what this may mean. They showed that there could be great changes in rainfall and the rise in the sea level as ice caps in the north and south poles melt. This could have a serious effect on agriculture according to Prof. Martin Perry of University College in London. He says it could become more difficult to grow food in the tropics at lower latitudes nearer to the equator."The most clear pattern emerging is the possibility of reduced potential production in lower latitude regions, and most generally speaking, increased potential in higher latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm, to put it extremely simply, and plants there are quite near their limits of heat and drought stress. An increase in temperature or reduction in moisture would place limits on crop growth."Woman: Global warming could reduce food production in lower latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm. Global warming could put more stress on plans and place limits on crop growth.Food production is only one area that could be affected. There could also be health and social problems. Prof. Antony MacMichael of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine believes that some rural areas are already suffering. And the insects and bacteria could spread disease more easily."Already a number of rural populations around the world are suffering from the decline of agricultural systems. Climate change would add to this. And we would expect that it would accelerate the flood of environmental refugees around the world. But it includesnot just the food production systems, but the patterns of distribution of insects and infective agents around the world. It includes likely effects on patterns of hear-related food poisoning, water contamination and diarrhea diseases, lots of things like this that would respond sensitively to changes in climate."Woman: Global warming could affect the distribution of insects. Global warming could change patterns of heat-related food poisoning.Many countries now agree that something must be done to reduce the danger of global warming. But a worldwide agreement on lowering the production of carbon dioxide has been difficult to reach. This is because many economies depend on fossil fuels like oil. Scientists believe it's now the politicians in every region of the world who need to take action.Part V Do you know…?Environment has taken rather a back seat politically since the Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro nearly 5 years ago. But the problems that meeting highlighted had not gone away. One environmental think tank — the International Food Policy Research Institute — has been looking at the future of water and its report reflects growing concern at the huge leap in usage over the past few years.In some parts of the world, water consumption has increased five fold. And the institute, known by its initials IFPRI, says shortages could soon become the trigger for conflict and a major barrier to feeding the world's growing population. Here's Richard Black of our Science Unit."It's often been said that water rather than oil will be the cause of warfare in the next century. According to the IFPRI report, the time when that happens might not be far away. The number of people affected by water shortage will increase ten fold over the next 30 years, it says, which could well lead to large scale conflicts.The main reason why water is becoming a scarce resource is agriculture, which now accounts for 70% of water consumption worldwide, 90% in some developing countries. Countless farmers have switched from growing indigenous crops for the home market to high yield export varieties, which inevitably need far more water. But the IFPRI report says that in some regions water shortage is now the single biggest impediment to feeding the population. Water scarcity also leads to water pollution. In the Indian State of West Bengal, for example, over extraction of water from bore holes has led to arsenic poisoning which is estimated to have affected two million people so far. But the IFPRI report calls for better water management worldwide including financial incentives to encourage conservation."That report by Richard Black of our Science Unit.Unit 2Part I Getting readyA.B.

As you can see, this is very valuable work and I wonder therefore if you'd like to make a donation?Part II Christmas bird countsJohn James Audubon was an American artist in the early 1800s, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women's hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40 000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January 3rd. Volunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count. Jeffrey LeBaron is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to Mr. LeBaron, more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple."Each individual count is in a circle. It's a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it's always the exactly same area that's done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day."Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced bird watchers. "Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird."Part III Dolphin captivityA: A planned aquatic park in Denver is raising the ire of animal rights activists who object to a proposal to include a captive dolphin display. Although officials for Colorado's Ocean Journeys say they have yet to make a final decision on the issue, local and national activists have already instigated a "No Dolphins in Denver' campaign. As Colorado Public Radio's Peter Jones reports, the battle lines have been clearly drawn.P: Rick Troud, a former navy dolphin trainer based in Florida, is taking an active role in the "No Dolphins" campaign.R: Average age in the wild ranges anywhere in some of the studies between 30 and 40 years of age. In captivity, you can expect a dolphin to live maybe 5.13 years, and every 7 years in captivity, the dolphin population is dead.P: According to Troud, there are many reasons why dolphins can't live full lives in captivity.R: If you take a look at where the real dolphin is in the real ocean, you find the dolphin who swims 40 miles a day, is very family-oriented. These animals are separated from their mothers; that's a stress. You put them in a concrete tank where their sonar bounces off of walls, they can't swim in the same amount of time and direction that they can in the wild.P: Environmentalist and ocean explorer, Jean Michel Cousteau:J: There are some animals which reject captivity right away, and they're very suicidal. I've had one of those in my own arms for many days. The next morning when I came to take care of him, he was dead. And what he'd done was to swim as fast as he could from one end of the pool on ... to the other side and destroyed his head by hitting the wall. They have a very sophisticated brain. I don't think we have any rights to play with the lives of these animals.P: Cousteau's anti-captivity position is challenged by Dr. Deborah Duffield, a biology professor at Portland State College in Oregon. Her 1990 study compared captive dolphins to the wild population of Sarasota Bay, Florida. Among other findings, the study showed little if any difference in the average age of death. And Duffield says life is generally getting better for captive dolphins.D: The census data say that every time I do a census, I've got older and older animals in it as well as this normal age distribution that we've been looking at. So my feeling is that the trend in captivity has been that the group of animals that we're following are getting older, and if they continue to do that over the next five years, they will then indeed be older than the wild population.P: There is also a debate over the educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivity. According to Duffield, captive dolphins play an important role in our basic understanding of the animals.D: I firmly believe that we cannot learn anything about organisms that we share this world with if we do not understand how they live in an environment, and what they do, and that watching them go by in the wild will not do it. I cannot tell what an animal needs, unless I know how it operates, how it breeds, what it needs metabolically, and I can't learn that from animals in the wild.P: But Troud says the dolphin displays are anti-educational because the animals' natural behavior patterns are altered by captivity.R: In the wild, you don't have dolphins who beat each other to death. There are no dolphins that I've ever seen stranded on the beach, who are suffering from fractured skulls, fractured ribs or fractured jaws, as is the case in captivity.P: The Ocean Journey board will take all factors into consideration before making a finaldecision on whether to include dolphins in the park. For Colorado Public Radio, I'm Peter Jones.Part IV More about the topic: Birds----A Source of WealthMr. LeBaron says there are about 9 300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it."Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans."National Audubon Society editor Jeffrey LeBaron calls the world's bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect."People get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the er, the quality of life, um, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly."Jeffrey LeBaron says that while the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts show a decline in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part V Do you know…?Scientists have cataloged more than one and one-half million of the species that exist on Earth today. By some recent estimates, at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet.Up to 100 species become extinct every day. Scientists estimate that the total number of species lost each year may climb to 40 000 by the year 2000, a rate far exceeding any in the last 65 million years.Around the world more than 3 500 protected areas exist in the form of parks, wildlife refuges and other reserves. These areas cover a total of about 2 million square miles (5 million square km, or 3% of our total land area).Today, more than 200 animal species in the United States are classified as endangered.More than 1 000 animal species are endangered worldwide.Little-noticed aquatic animals are in big trouble. In North America, a third of our fish species, two-thirds of our crayfish species and nearly three-quarters of the mussel species are in trouble.Unit 3Part I Getting readyA.B.
