Their purpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the "ins and outs*" of that field from a practitioner*. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate* your interest in and suitability for a particular opportunity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have. explore the compatibility* of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads* as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to meet for an informational interview, try contacting employers or organizations found in one of the closed stack*directories in the CRC* library.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.、2.

The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in thenation's elementary schools and high schools, Each year there are about three million high school graduates.The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life – for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.%Exercise: Listen to the passage and then retell il in your own words. You will hear thepassage only once.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deepsleep very early in the morning.（In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG," this is of little help to the postman~ He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences,2. A3. C4. A5. D6. A7. D8.

Japan sent the next highest number of students, almost 47,000. India was next, with about 42,000. And Korea was fourth, sending more than 41,000 students to the United States.The report says the most popular subjects of study for international students in the United States last year were business and management.

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

There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, "I love coffee ice cream," said Ana. After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray. "We didn't order coffee," said Edward crossly*, "we ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English."

Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised. Sometimes, to their delight, two young women stood on the horses' backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions' cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round. Then the most terrible thing happened; their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus. The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing. Exercise: Listen to the passage and then retell it in your own words. Youwill hear the passage only once.Section Four Supplementary Exercises Part1 Listening ComprehensionThe native people of North and South America were given the name "Indians" by the explorer Christopher Columbus*. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations*, or on tribal* lands. Others live in cities. Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons. The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college. The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes* create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino*, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishingrights, and mining* operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor* their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences. l.C 2.

You and seven million other tourists will fill Britain's capital city this season, jostling* each other along Oxford Street, getting lost on the Underground, staring at Buckingham Palace, and complaining about the food and the weather. What can you do when you're here? There are the obvious tourist attractions of royal London, the London of pageantry* and soldiers in fancy uniforms. There is historical London, with the ancient buildings and magnificent churches. A good introduction to all this can be found in the London Museum in the Barbican*. You can spend a lot of money, in shops from aristocratic* Knightsbridge* to democratic Marks and Spencer*, all of them anxious to receive travellers' cheques in almost any currency. There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid may Well be able to talk to you in your own language —though probably not in English, Restaurants are here by thehundred. You can eat your way round the world in London, from China to Argentina*, though you may have a bit of a job finding good English food Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.A 2. A 3. D 4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 8. BPassage 2 entertainments in LondonYou come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to have fun — a reputation which really only dates from the mid 1960's, that era* of Swinging London,"* of pop stars and fashion photographers and dress designers. There's certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large numberof cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter— and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*. You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.C 7.

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs* of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm.Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes. After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order. He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream. There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, "I love coffee ice cream," said Ana.After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray."We didn't order coffee," said Edward crossly*, "we ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English."The waiter smiled and looked pleased."No," said Ann laughing, "it's his country. We ought to be able to speak his language."Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1. B2. C 3, D 4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 8.

The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the businessworld introductions are based on a person's rank* or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people ofequal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate*, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello!I am ... ' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume* that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people. Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy*, sexually explicit* stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B 2. D 3. D 4.

The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter-- and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. I.C 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 8. DPassage 2 Health InsuranceMost full-time students at American universities must have health insurance, 12qis is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness.Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance policies*. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans. For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge the minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about 800 dollars a year. The insurance pays for hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also pays for laboratory tests and x rays. And it pays ninety percent of the cost of drugs prescribed by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control, care of the teeth or eyeglasses. And it does not pay for preventive care such as injections* that prevent disease.Students at Boston College in Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or lo buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about 500 dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a/line period.It does not pay for eye glasses, hearing aids*, or dental* treatment.Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs. Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do not need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.Exercise A: Listen to the report and complete the following sentences.1. Students at American universities must have health insurance, because health costs in the United States are high.2. Many American colleges have health centers where minor medical problems can be treated.3. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor offers its health insurance plan that costs about $800 a year.4. Boston College in Massachusetts suggests the students buy the college accident and sickness insurance that costs about $500 a year.Exercise B: Listen to the report again and put a tick beside the item that the insurance pays for and put a cross beside the one that the insurance doesn't pay for.hospital services √ birth control X laboratory tests √ x-rays √drugs prescribed by a doctor √ hearing aids X eyeglasses X emergency room care √dental treatment X doctor visits √PART 2 Oral WorkFrances Whithread lived in children's homes until she was 13 because her mother was unable to look after her.When Frances was 12 she took part in a game of netball.

In the factory, water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting* liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure. The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added. This makes some of water evaporate*, leaving very strong coffee liquor*.To make instant coffee powder, the coffee liquor is poured through large cylindrical* driers at a temperature of 250~C. The heat evaporates the liquid, leaving instant coffee powder, which is collected and put into jars.Granulated* coffee is made by freeze-drying, The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces, they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat, leaving instant coffee granules*.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1The leaders of North and South Korea met this week.

It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.You need some onions*, some tomatoes, butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Then chop* the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully ----- you don't know what sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you? -- and cut them into quarters. Then you ---- I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did I? My book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions, or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions -- that's what makes the soup taste good,OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan -- or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for threeor four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said -- you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into tile saucepan, and pour in some water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so. Pour yourself another glass of wine.When it's ready -= you can tell if it's ready, because everything's soft and it smells terrific --when it's ready, take it off the cooker and strain* it carefully through a sieve*. Actually, it's best if you've got one of those little machines where you turn a handle and it pushes everything through a round metal plate with little holes in -- you know what I mean?Put the soup back into the saucepan and see whether it needs any more salt. Then bring it to the boil again. Cook it gently for two or three minutes; keep stirring it. When you serve it, you can mix in some milk if you like, but I don't bother--- I think it's nice as it is. You're supposed to make croutons* as well -- youknow, little squares of toast or fried bread--- but I don't bother about that either. It's too much trouble. Do try it. You'll thank me.Exorcise A: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1.B2. D3. A4. C5. D6. D7. A8.

The center opened last month in Lyons*, France. It will help poor countries set up laboratories to quickly identify and control infectious diseases.The WHO already operates an international system that watches for major health threats that could develop into world problems. The WHO executive director for communicable diseases is David Heymann. Doctor Heymann says the new medical center in France will help strengthen public health laboratories and services in developing countries.Doctor Heymann says there is a great need for this. In Africa, for example, he says only one laboratory can identify tile Ebola* or Marburg* viruses that cause serious diseases. It is the WHO laboratory in South Africa.Bacteria or other substances that are collected in any country in Africa are sent to the laboratory in South Africa. Or they are sent to laboratories in Europe, North America or Asia. Doctor Heymann says Ebola is an example of a very complex disease that is hard to identify. But many countries, he says, do not even have the ability to identify more commonly known diseases, such as cholera* or yellow fever*.The World Health Organization estimates that diseases spread to other people kill more than 13,000,000 people aroundthe world each year. Most of the victims are poor people in developing countries.To help solve this problem, the WHO hopes to train people from 45 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, The first training class begins in April in Lyons. Laboratory experts from eight countries in West Africa and Central Africa will take part. The programme will offer the medical experts and, scientists new skills to identify diseases. They also will learn how to use communications equipment, the Internet and electronic mail. This technology will help them respond quickly to possible medical problems.The WHO says the purpose of the project is to build a system that will help countries identify diseases. With these skills, the WHO says countries will be able to react more quickly to fight the spread of disease.Part 2 Oral WorkLast Christmas Professor Smith wanted to show his family that he was young and fashionable at heart, so he decided to give them clothes as Christmas presents.For his twelve-year old nephew he thought a pair of shortswould be suitable. Unfortunately the pair he got didn't fit him at all. They were much mo big. His brother was very keen on swimming so he got him a pair of swimming trunks. They were a size too small, however, and so were much too tight. But that was the last mistake the poor professor made, because while he was picking out a bright pink summer dress for his daughter, she happened to see him in the shop and managed to persuade him that the colour didn't go with the colour of her hair, She was quite relieved to open her Christmas present the next week and find a book on wild flowers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics,I. Wily do you think Professor Smith couldn't buy the right presents for his children?2. Have things of this kind ever happened in your family?。

Her shopping had tired her. In the lift her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest; but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open. She was thinking that she must reprimand* her daily maid the next morning for such a monstrous negligence, when she remembered that she had gone shopping after the maid had left and she knew that she had turned both keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were open, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk. Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1 .D 2.

That is why scientists are so interested in finding water in our solar system. Now, the American space agency has confirmed that there is water ice on the planet Mars.The discovery is a major step in the search for the conditions for life on the red planet. The discovery was made with the help of an American spacecraft, the Phoenix Mars Lander. The spacecraft landed on the extreme north of Mars on May 25. On June 15, it dug a hole about seven centimeters deep in the Martian soil. The hole contained small particles of a light-colored substance. Scientists wondered whether the substance was frozen carbon dioxide, salt or water ice. Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the following summary.The news item is about the experiment carried out on Mars bya spacecraft.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and answer the following questions.1.The American space agency has confirmed that there is waterice on the planet Mars.2.The discovery was made with the help of an Americanspacecraft.3.The Phoenix Mars Lander.4.It is a major step in the search for the conditions for lifeon Mars.5.The spacecraft landed on the extreme north of Mars on May25.6.It dug a hole about seven centimeters deep in the Martiansoil.7.The hole contained small particles of a light-coloredsubstance.8.Scientists wondered whether the substance was frozen carbondioxide, salt or water ice.News Item 2An American study has suggested that melting ice in the Arctic Sea is threatening permanently frozen soil. The study found that rates of warming in northern Alaska, Canada and Russia could increase when the sea ice melts quickly. During such periods, the increase could be more than three times greater than the average twenty-first century warming rates predicted in earlier studies.The new study is the work of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The findings were reported last month in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union.Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the followingsummary.The news item is about melting ice in the Arctic Sea that is threatening permanently frozen soil.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and answer the following questions.1.It has suggested that melting ice in the Arctic Sea isthreatening permanently frozen soil.2.In northern Alaska, Canada and Russia.3.The increase could be more than three times greater than theaverage twenty-first century.st month.5.In Geophysical Research Letters.6.The American Geophysical Union.News Item 3TAPESCRIPTSpace scientists have been searching nearby stars for planets with great success. The United States space agency says that 264 exoplanets have been discovered so far. But, until now, few of the planetary systems found orbiting other stars have been like our own solar system. That has all changed with the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting a star calledFifty-Five Cancri in the constellation Cancer.The star is forty-one light years away from Earth. It is also very similar to our own sun.Last month, astronomers announced the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting Fifty-Five Cancri. What makes the discovery extraordinary is that the new exoplanet orbits in what astronomers call a "habitable zone." This means temperatures on the planet may be warm enough for liquid water to exist either on its surface or on one of its moons.Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the following summary.The news item is about the discovery of a fifth planet orbitinga star called Fifty-Five Cancri.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and complete the following passage.Last month, astronomers announced the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting Fifty-Five Cancri.

Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age t might be more prudent to have someone with her, so she went to (etch the porter from his basement. By this timeher legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while he telephoned the police.They went through the rooms, being careful to touch nothing, as they did not want to hinder* the police in their search for fingerprints. It seemed as though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over. At least sorting out the things she should have discarded* years ago was being made easier lot her. Then a police inspector arrived with a constable and she told them of her discovery of the ransacked flat. The inspector began to look for fingerprints, while the constable checked that the front door locks had not been forced, thereby proving that the burglars had either used skeleton keys or entered over the balcony. There was no trace of fingerprints, but the inspector found a dirty red bundle that contained jewellery which the old lady said was not hers.

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

The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture.

There were no goods on display; there was no shop-window: nothing but a number of empty shelves at one end of the room in front of which a man was standing on a raised platform, andshouting loudly that the greatest sale of the year was about to begin. I decided to stay and see what would happen.A harassed* assistant began to pile all sorts of odds and ends on the shelves: table-lamps, cutlery-sets*, clocks, electric 6/20页razors*, crockery*, vases, and a large quantity of small packets all similarly wrapped in bright red paper. When the man at the table was satisfied that a sufficiently large crowd of people had collected, he began distributing the packets, asking for the small sum of three pence in return, and declaring that the value of the contents was fifty times as much.I paid three pence for my packet and was immediately informed that I should not open it until after the sale. The money I had given, I found, entitled me to bid* for anything on the shelves. All these beautiful and extremely valuable objects, the man announced, would be given away, simply given away. He was as good as his word, for he held up an electric razor and asked a young man (who from the look of his face needed it) whether it was worth six pence. The man had no doubt about the matter and was promptly* handed the razor for the sum asked. The same occurred with a number of other articles, Then, instead of asking for small sums like six pence, the man began to demand larger amounts for "very rare, high-quality antiques."

He came to the United States with his wife, Helen, last September. Helen and Max met in Rome two 14/20页years ago. Helen lived in Paris for a few months while she was waiting to come to the United States.They lived in New York City for a few months, and then they moved to Boston. They had lived there everinformation I collected I could find out that some of the best buys could be made at the bargain or discount* stores. That was the first time I came to know about the bargain shopping in the US.From what I have learnt, you could make use of the following techniques for bargain shopping. Watch for sales. This is when items are offered at a discounted price. The sale might be a set a percentage discount, Sales are generally advertised. Be sure to always check the local paper issued on Sunday; usually all the sales for the week will be announced. Many stores will also haveclearance sales*. Items on clearance generally will not be reordered, so the store needs to make room for new goods. Often these sales are unadvertised, Great bargains can be found at clearance sales!Look for and use coupons. These can be found in the Sunday paper, in magazines, sometimes in the telephone book. A coupon is a little slip* of paper allowing you to get a small discount when you buy the specific item described. The coupon will say "Save 40 cents on any Pledge," for example. That means that if you present the coupon at the time of purchase, and if you bought the correct brand and size, and if the expiration* date has not passed, you will pay 40 cents less for that can of Pledge 16/20页furniture polish. If the store is having a "double coupon day," the coupon is worth twice as much (you would pay 80 cents less for a can of Pledge).Purchases can be made very inexpensively at garage sales and second hand stores. Used items in good condition often can be found for a low price. Also, check newspapers and local bulletin* boards for listings of used goods for sale.Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1. B2. A3. A4.D5. C6. B7. B8. DPassage 2 American CosmonautDennis Tito paid the Russian government $20,000,000 for the chance to travel in a Soyez spacecraft to the new International Space Station. His space flight will be launched on April 30th. Mr. Tito says he has been interested in space travel since he was seventeen years old. That was when the former Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik. This interest led him to become a rocket scientist, He worked for the United States Jet Propulsion* Laboratory in California. He left that job after a few years to start an investment business.17/20页Today, Dennis Tito's company is among the nation's largest investment businesses. Reports say he is worth about 200,000,000 dollars. So he can easily pay 20,000,000 dollars for a trip into space. This is not the first time the Russian space programme has earned needed money by selling seats on its spacecraft. A Japanese television reporter flew on Mir* for a price of 12,000,000 dollars. And the American space agency NASA paid 400,000,000 dollars to send several American astronauts to Mir.Mr. Tito is now living and working at Russia's Star City training area to prepare for his ten-day trip.

I can show you where it is.Archer: Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you.Woman: That’s all right.Archer: Your English is very good.Woman: I’m learning English at evening classes. Are you here on h oliday?Archer: No, I’m giving some lectures at the university.Woman: Well, I hope you enjoy yourself here.Part 2--Listening and Note-TakingWoman: How do you find living on a grant? Can you manage it?Man: Well, rent is the biggest item on my budget. That’s more than ￡8. I’m quite luck, because I share a house with some friends and it’s quite near the University, and we share the bill, of course, you know, gas, electricity and that. They come about ￡1.50. After rent comes food--that’s my next biggest expense, I suppose. Of course, I can’t afford to eat in restaurants or anything like that.Woman: What about books? Do you have to spend a lot on books?Man: Well, well, it depends,--I mean last week I spend ￡3.25 just on one book, and that’s about average for a week, I’d say.Woman: Do you buy newspapers and magazines much?Man: Well, not a lot, because—well, they have them in the college li brary, you see, but I reckon to spend about, urn ￡1, or ￡1.5 on papers.Woman: What about entertainment, do you go out a lot?Man: Well, I go to the pub nearly every evening if that’s what you m ean, you know, for a drink with you know, with my friends, and I smoke and well, altogether I spend about ￡5 a week on that.Woman: So it’s not very easy to live on your grant then, is it?Man: No, no, not really, I work, I get job every vacation as a driver o r in a factory or something like that…There’s nothing I can give up really. I mean, if I give up smoking, I’ll only save ￡1.50 pe week anyway. Sometimes I save on transport—that averages aout ￡2 a week usually, but if I hitchhike home to my parents for example, I save on the train fare, and that’s quite a bit…ExerciseSection Two: Listening ComprehensionPart 1--DialoguesDialogue 1: The National Telecom ShowroomMrs Fennell: Have you any idea what time the National Telecom Sho wroom opens, Kate?Kate Mitcham: The National Telecom Showroom?

Inland th e winds will drop, and temperatures should rise to 20°C although there is little chance of the sun breaking through.Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with tempera tures climbing to 25°C by midday. However, by late afternoon, clouds wi ll appear from the southwest bringing the possibility of some humidity.In western region, covering Wales and southwest england as far as Br istol, heavy rain has already set in, and in England it is expected to contin ue for the rest of the day, with temperatures only reaching 17 or 18 degre es.The worst of the rain should have cleared Pembroke and west Wales by mid-afternoon and occasional breaks in the cloud may lift the temperatures to 19, but further north, more rain blowing across the Irish sea, with high winds, will keep the temperature down to 15 or 16 degrees; low for t his time of the year.Finally, for the rest of England and Scotland, the weather will be cha ngeable; with rain from the west clearing by mid-morning, and then brigh ter periods with scattered showers will cover most of the Midlands and Sc otland. The winds will be fresh from the northwest becoming chilly in the north of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll in from the North Sea and most of the northeast Scottish coast will have restricted visibility. Temper atures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extreme north falling to 7 degrees. That is the end of thee weather forecast, and th e shipping forecast will follow shortly.Exercise:1. D2. C3. A4. B5. D6. A7. B8. CPart 3--News News Item 1Last Saturday, in Japan, finance ministers of the Group of Eight countries urged oil producing countries to increase production. But they also called on the International Monetary Fund and the International Energy Agency to jointly examine the recent price rise.I.M.F. chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that some G-Eight ministers were concerned about financial speculation. How important it is and what influence it has on the market will be investigated, he says. A report is expected in October.Futures markets now largely set the price of oil. Yet these contracts rarely involve an exchange of real barrels of oil. Most oil is traded on what is called the spot market or through other contracts between producers and users. The prices, however, are usually based on futures prices.Exercise A:This news item is about concerns of the G-eight ministers over high oil prices.Exercise B:1.T2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TNews Item 2Last Friday, President Bush called for an economic growth package -- a plan to give a quick shot of energy to the slowing American economy. Now, the administration has an agreement with Democratic and Republican leaders in the House of Representatives.President Bush called the 150 billion dollar deal, reached Thursday, the right set of policies and the right size. He urged Congress to pass it as soon as possible, saying the economy urgently needs action. He said the plan would lead to higher consumer spending and increased business investment this year.The measures must be approved by the House and the Senate and signed into law by the president.Many economists worry that the world's largest economy will enter or has already entered a recession.Exercise A:This news item is about a plan to aid the US economy.Exercise B:1.T2. T3. F4. F5. F6. TNews Item 3World economic growth remained strong in 2007. The International Monetary Fund estimated growth at five and two-tenths percent.But predictions for 2008 call for slower growth in the world economy. In October the I.M.F. cut its estimate for global growth this year by almost half a percentage point, to four and eight-tenths percent.There are worries of an economic slowdown or possibly a recession in the United States. The most important issue for 2008 may be the American housing market.Another major issue for two thousand eight is what effect energy prices will have on economic growth. The price of a barrel of oil doubled in two thousand seven. And on the second day of two thousand eight, the price hit one hundred dollars for the first time. The dollar continued its drop against most major currencies in 2007.Exercise A:This news item is about world economic growth that is predicted to slow in 2008.Exercise B:1.The estimated growth of the world economy in 2007was at fiveand two-tenths percent.2.According to the International Monetary Fund’s estimation, thegrowth in 2008 is at four and eight-tenths percent.3.In 2007, the price of a barrel of oil doubled.4.On the second day of 2008, the oil price reached $100 per barrel.Exercise C:The global economic growth, though remaining strong in 2007, is predicted to slow in 2008. The housing market and the energy prices are two major issues that affect world economic growth for 2008. These two major issues plus US dollar continuing to drop against most major currencies lead to worries of an economic slowdown or a recession in the United States.Section Three: Oral WorkPart 1--Questions and AnswersHarry is a journalist.

He knew he shou ld have gone to the dentist earlier. But he always put off seeing the dentist .Yesterday afternoon David went to see his dentist because he couldn’t bear the pain any more. David told him that the tooth had kept him awak e the night before. Then the dentist looked into his mouth, but he did not l ook only at the one tooth. Instead he looked them all over.“Hmm,” he said. “I’m afraid several of your teeth need seeing to.” H e began to describe exactly what needed doing. David listened to him wit h a kind of sick feeling in the stomach.“I should say that at least four teeth have cavities. We’ll have to see t o them i mmediately.”David asked about the tooth that had been aching. “I may be able to s ave it,” the dentist said to him.Section Four: Supplementary ExercisePart 1—Listening ComprehensionPassage 1: Package HolidaysPackage holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive locatio n are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—you name it—it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bot her to arrange anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good ti me, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the loca l people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably b e allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next mornin g. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to s pend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, ma y not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As again st this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or eld erly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on ho liday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.Exercise:1. B2. A3. D4. B5. A6. B7. C8. CPassage 2 SkyscrapersThe first skyscrapers were built in the United States. As early as the 1 880s, two new technical developments made these taller buildings possibl e. One development was the mechanical elevator. It meant that people wo uld ot have to climb many steps to reach the upper floors of tall buildings. Elevators could carry them quickly to the top floors.The development of steel also helped make taller buildings possible. Walls of stone, concrete and other materials had supported earlier buildin gs. But such walls were too heavy for a truly tall building. Pieces of steel, however, could help form a strong skeleton for a tall building. The steel f rame was strong enough to support the building. Walls could be made of glass or other thin materials. Today, most skyscrapers have steel frames with glass or metal walls connected to them.The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. It was the Home Insurance Building. It was almost 55 meters tall, By the early 1990s, skyscrapers were rising in all large American cities, especially in New York.The world’s most famous skyscraper was built there in 1931. The Em pire State Building was the tallest building in the world for more than fort y years. It is still one fo the most popular. Each year, more than 3,000,000 visitors to New York City ride an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. They stand outdoors in a special observation area almost 380 m eters above the ground. From there, they can see all of the city of New Yo rk far below.By the 1950s, most big American businesses had their headquarters i n skyscrapers. The goal was to keep all employees of the same company t ogether. By the 1960s and early 1970s, almost every skyscraper looked th e same. They were like boxes with flat tops and square sides. The buildin gs were made of glass, steel and concrete.European architects invented this simple design. It is called the Intern ational Style. They wanted to create buildings for working people. They wanted buildings that were simple and expressed the idea that all people were equal. But after a while, architects and other people bacame tired of buildings that looked like boxes. They said that too many of them made a city look ugly.Today, architects are designing many unusual and interesting skyscra pers. Some architects use elements of past, classical architecture in their s kyscrapers. For example, they might use tall stone columns like those of Greek temples in a new skyscarper.Some recent skyscrapers rise up from the ground in long, wide curves . Some are round, rising into the air like a steel pipe. Others have uneven shapes, with walls of different sizes. Architects also use different building materials to make skyscrapers more beautiful and interesting. They use g ranite and other kinds of stone to add color to the newest tall buildings. C olored glass also has become popular in skyscrapers.Exercise:In late 19th century two new technical developments made skyscrape rs possible.One development was the mechanical elevator.The other development was steel.Earlier skyscrapers:The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, USA in 1885.The world’s most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building was built in New York, in 1931.Skyscrapers of 1960s and early 1970s:Every skyscraper looked the same.They were like boxes with flat tops and square sides.They were made of glass, steel and concrete.This simple design expressed the idea that all people were equal. It is als o called the International Style.Skyscrapers nowadays:Some skyscrapers rise up from the ground in long, wide curves.Some are round, look like steel pipes.Others have uneven shapes with walls of different sizes.Materials used by architects to build skyscrapers in recent days are granit e, other kinds of stone and colored glass, etc.Part 2-- Oral WorkMary had to go to London one evening.

My nephew, Tony, had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His parents had no reason to be grateful to me eitherbecause the year before, I had presented their dear son with a pot of paste* and some funny pictures. Instead of stick ing* them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, therefore, I decided to let him choose for himself.We went into a big toyshop but Tony was highly critical of everything he saw.In vain* did I show him toy after toy; he was not to be tempt ed*. Then I saw his eyes light up: he had discovered something hereally did approve of: a large tin drum.I was quite pleased, too, until I thought what Tony's mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any sleep for weeks. I led Tony away quickly, saying that the drum was too expensive. If that was how I felt, Tony replied jokingly, then I could buy him the big model railway in the shop window. Now that was really expensive, so I quickly changed the subject.Tony asked for permission to go off on his own and I made the most of my opportunity to sit down and rest my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get worried and got up to look for him, I asked a younglady if she had seen a little boy in a gray suit. She looked about her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many little boys in gray suits. I was just beginning to despair*, when I saw a strange figure dressed in peculiar purple* clothes. The figure was wearing a false beard and a cave man's* axe* in one hand, and a space gun in the other. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me at once that he was the first cave man to fly into space.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1. D2.

This federal agency was established in 1970to protect the nation's environment from pollution. It has fought against pollution of the air, water and atmosphere.After 30 years, the EPA* can point to progress against a number of environmental threats. For example, it has set new requirements for chemical factories. It has taken action to prevent rain from being polluted by chemicals. And, it has almost completely removed lead* from the air.In addition, half of the nation's worst waste areas have been cleaned up. New homes have been built to resist radon gas*, found to be a leading cause of cancer. And the cars of today produce 75 percent less pollution than the cars of 1970.The EPA has dealt with a number of crises. For example, in 1989,the ship Exxon Valdez* leaked oil into Prince William Sound in the state of Alaska*. More than 41,000,000 liters of crude oil* poured into the water. The Exxon Oil Company* was ordered to pay 1,000,000,000 dollars.That was the largest criminal environmental damage settlementin history.During its 30 years, the EPA has won praise for its work. But not everyone approves of the agency. Companies forced to make costly changes sometimes oppose the agency. They say EPA requirements threaten their profits and the economy in general. Some companies say they have to dismiss* workers to pay for required changes.Listen to the report and complete the following chart about EPA.Name of this federal agency: The Unite States Environmental Protection AgencyTime of its foundation:1970The purpose to establish this organization is to:1.

They say that the average person can lea rn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period d uring the day- and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however: sleep-teaching will only hammer into your he ad what you have studied while you are awake.In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio at intervals of a fortnight. Each lesson lasted twelve hours- from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocab ulary were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a soothing lul laby was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next th ree hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ea rs. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sle eping student up for a few minutes of revision. Then he was lulledback to rest again while the radio purred on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson for three hours before his hard-earned breakfast.Exercise:1. A2. B3. D4. D5. C6. C7. A8.

All these renewable resources are used today to power an energy-hungry world. But imagine harvesting energy from crowds of people moving to and from work every day. That is one of the possibilities of piezoelectricity, the science of gaining power from motion.James Graham and Thaddeus Jusczyk are two graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. They designed a way to capture the energy of people' footsteps.They created a design for a special floor covering that moves a little when people step on it. The movement would create an electrical current that could be captured to provide electrical power.Gathering power from the movements of large groups of people is called "crowed farming." And interest in crowd farming continues to grow.Exercise A:This news item is about gathering electrical power from the movements of people.Exercise B: Listen to the news item and give the definition of the following expressions.Piezoelectricity: the science of gaining power from motion Crowd farming: gathering power from the movements of large groups of peopleC: Complete the following passage.James Graham and Thaddeus Jusczyk are two graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.

Part 2 RetellingOne cold winter afternoon, a postman was slowly pushing his bicycle up the hill. He had only one letter to deliver: this was for an old lady who lived at the top of the hill. The old lady had lived alone ever since her daughter had moved to Australia many years before. She always invited the postman in for a cup of tea whenever he took her a letter and told him about her two grandchildren in Australia, whom she had never seen.Just as the postman went towards her gate, a small boy came running down the hill. Suddenly the boy slipped on the icy road and fell. The postman hurried across the road to help the boy. After a quick examination, he found that the boy hurt his leg badly. So the postman decided to send the boy to the hospital first. He carried the boy onto his bicycle and took him to the hospital.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 RunningWhen I started running seven years ago, I could manage only about a quarter of mile before I had to stop. Breathless and aching,I walked the next quarter of a mile, then I jogged the next quarter ofa mile, alternating these two activities for a couple of miles. Within a few weeks I could jog half way round Hampstead Heath withoutstopping. Soon I started to run up the quarter-mile slope to the top of Parliament Hill, although I had to stop at the top to get my breath back. Eventually I found that I could even manage to get up the hill comfortably.I started to run because I felt desperately unfit. But the biggest pay-off for me was- and still is- the deep relaxation that I achieve by taking exercise. It tires me out but I find that it does calm me down.In those early days I saw few other runners. Now there are many more- and not just the macho* sports freaks*. Men and women of all ages have now taken up running. Some 25,000 runners aged 5 to 85 are attracted each year to the Sunday Times Fun Run in Hyde Park.In the last two years the London Marathon has become the biggest British sporting event — overtaking the boat race and the Derby* in the number of spectators it attracts. When I started to jog I never dreamt of running of a marathon, but in 1982 I realized that if I trained for it, it would be with in my reach, and after a slow,six-month build-up I managed the 26.2 miles in just four hours. A creditable performance for a first-timer and a far cry from those days when I had to stop for breath after a quarter of a mile.Ex. Listen and choose the best answer.1.C2. D3. B4. A5. A6.C7.

They are of d ifferent colors and sizes. Some are costly animals that take part in competitions. Many more are common American mixtures of sever al kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life. They are not expected to w ork for their food. Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens. They wait for their owners to serve them,Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These con cerns have made the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and cl othes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners e ven bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become s o popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone i f the owners are away.Still millions of other people do not like cats at all. They say do gs are better and more loving pets. They say cats do not have muc h feeling. They believe cats stay with people only to be fed.Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism. They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: D og follow you around. They want you to talk to them and play with t hem a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy. This does not mean they do not love their owners.Cat owners often like to read about cats. Many books about ca ts are in American libraries and bookstores. Cats also appear as th e heroes of newspaper comics, television programs and movies. A mong the most famous is Garfield. He is an orange, striped tiger c at.Garfield eats too much. His owner, John, is always trying to get the cat to lose weight. However, Garfield usually eats what he wa nts. He often shows more intelligence than his owner.Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1. More than sixty-four million cats live in American homes as pets.2. American homes keep costly cats in order to let them take part in competitions.3. They are not expected to work for their food and they wait for their owners to serve them.4. Americans are increasingly serious about their cats.5. Cat owners buy tons of food, toys and other equipment.6. They need less care and they do not seem to suffer a lot from being alone when the owner are away.7. Cats like more space and more privacy.8. Garfield is an orange, striped tiger cat. He often shows his intelligence and does many clever things.Part 2 Oral WorkWhen you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you ofte n see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the m ost useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why peop le keep a dog has changed. In the old days, people used to train d ogs to protect themselves against animal attacks. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willin g to obey his master. But now people in the city need not protect th emselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friend to play with. For young co uples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old coup les, a dog is also their child when their children have grown up.。

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs* of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm.Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes. After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order. He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream. There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, "I love coffee ice cream," said Ana.After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray."We didn't order coffee," said Edward crossly*, "we ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English."The waiter smiled and looked pleased."No," said Ann laughing, "it's his country. We ought to be able to speak his language."Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1. B2. C 3, D 4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 8.

Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the colored lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animalswere fed and exercised.Sometimes, to their delight, two young women stood on the horses' backs and galloped round and round.But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions' cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling.At last the opening night came round. Then the most terrible thing happened; their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus. The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1Greetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture. The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the businessworld introductions are based on a person's rank* or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people ofequal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate*, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello!I am ... ' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume* that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people. Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy*, sexually explicit* stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 8. BPassage 2The native people of North and South America were given the name "Indians" by the explorer Christopher Columbus*. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations*, or on tribal* lands. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe ofthe northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights, and mining* operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor* their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.C2.

In the factory, water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting* liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure. The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added. This makes some of water evaporate*, leaving very strong coffee liquor*.To make instant coffee powder, the coffee liquor is poured through large cylindrical* driers at a temperature of 250~C. The heat evaporates the liquid, leaving instant coffee powder, which is collected and put into jars.Granulated* coffee is made by freeze-drying, The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces, they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat, leaving instant coffee granules*.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1The leaders of North and South Korea met this week. It was the firstsuch meeting in 7 years, and only the second since Korea was divided in 1953.South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and North Korea 's Kim Jong H ended three days of talks in Pyongyang on Thursday.

The agreement came in the six-party talks with China, South Korea, Japan, Russia and the United States.News Item 2Reports say a civilian was at one of the controls of the nuclear submarine that hit a Japanese fishing boat last week. The Navy said there is no evidence that the civilian was directly involved in the accident. Nine Japanese students and crew members from the fishing boat are still missing. Twenty-six other people survived the accident. The Navy has sent a deep-sea vehicle to the sunken wreckage. It also will decide if the boat can be raised. On Tuesday, President Bush told Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori that he greatly regretted sinking the boat. Thepresident spoke to Mr. Mori by telephone.News Item 3South Korea's government has issued a stern warning in reaction to Saturday night protests that left more than 100 people injured.

It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.You need some onions*, some tomatoes, butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Thenchop* the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully ---------- you don't know what sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you?-- and cut them into quarters. Then you ---- I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did I? My book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions, or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions -- that's what makes the soup taste good,OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan -- or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for three or four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said -- you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into tile saucepan, and pour in some water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so.

The center opened last month in Lyons*, France. It will help poor countries set up laboratories to quickly identify and control infectious diseases.The WHO already operates an international system that watches for major health threats that could develop into world problems. The WHO executive director for communicable diseases is David Heymann. Doctor Heymann says the new medical center in France will help strengthen public health laboratories and services in developing countries.Doctor Heymann says there is a great need for this. In Africa, for example, he says only one laboratory can identify tile Ebola* or Marburg* viruses that cause serious diseases. It is the WHO laboratory in South Africa.Bacteria or other substances that are collected in any country in Africa are sent to the laboratory in South Africa. Or they are sent to laboratories in Europe, North America or Asia. Doctor Heymann saysEbola is an example of a very complex disease that is hard to identify. But many countries, he says, do not even have the ability to identify more commonly known diseases, such as cholera* or yellow fever*.The World Health Organization estimates that diseases spread to other people kill more than 13,000,000 people around the world each year. Most of the victims are poor people in developing countries.To help solve this problem, the WHO hopes to train people from 45 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, The first training class begins in April in Lyons. Laboratory experts from eight countries in West Africa and Central Africa will take part. The programme will offer the medical experts and, scientists new skills to identify diseases. They also will learn how to use communications equipment, the Internet and electronic mail. This technology will help them respond quickly to possible medical problems.The WHO says the purpose of the project is to build a system that will help countries identify diseases. With these skills, the WHO says countries will be able to react more quickly to fight the spread of disease.Part 2 Oral WorkLast Christmas Professor Smith wanted to show his family that he was young and fashionable at heart, so he decided to give them clothes as Christmas presents.For his twelve-year old nephew he thought a pair of shortswould be suitable. Unfortunately the pair he got didn't fit him at all.They were much mo big. His brother was very keen on swimming so he got him a pair of swimming trunks. They were a size too small, however, and so were much too tight. But that was the last mistake the poor professor made, because while he was picking out a bright pink summer dress for his daughter, she happened to see him in the shop and managed to persuade him that the colour didn't go with the colour of her hair, She was quite relieved to open her Christmas present the next week and find a book on wild flowers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics,I. Wily do you think Professor Smith couldn't buy the right presents for his children?2. Have things of this kind ever happened in your family?。
