Keep Peace on Mind
Keep Peace on MindLife is a stage and there we play all kinds of roles. It is every one’s goal to expect success and realize their dreams, but during the whole moving process, we should always keep peace on mind because serenity is the power in our hearts. It can help us to experience the happiness of life in an easier way. Just as Liebman(李普曼)said: “On my head pour only the sweet waters of serenity. Give me the gift of the Untroubled Mind.”Firstly, keeping peace on mind is the chance to really know ourselves.Serenity looks like a mirror to reflect our own selves and a light to illuminate our dark awareness and awaken us. In the serenity, we can really get along with ourselves and communicate with ourselves and the real sound will flow from heart, through hustle and bustle, entertainment and hypocrisy… through a lot of obstacles.In the dead of night, most people like to sleep. But when we fail to fall asleep because of our irritable heart, we can calm down, keep peace on mind, open our hearts and chatter with ourselves so that we can reflect upon ourselves, listen to the inner voice and feel the strength to move forward. In this moment, no matter who we are, whether we look beautiful or ugly, it only requires us to keep peace on mind, accept our appearance, understand our own personalities, exert our advantages, admit our weakness and be ourselves. Then we can really know what we are thinking and what we do want.Secondly, keeping peace on mind is the way to do well the things in our daily life.The person fails to keep peace on mind can achieve nothing even such a trivial matter like making a cup of tea for the guest. Also when he want to learn something, he may screw it up. On the contrary, if a person can calm down, he can calmly think about a variety of difficulties and deal with the multi-chores. Here, I want to tell you a story: one day, a worker lost his watch in the warehouse. About ten colleagues helped him to rummage for the watch but in vain. Then they went out to have lunch when a boy slid in and lay himself on the ground, listen carefully. Finally he found the watch. So, in our daily life, through cultivating a peaceful heart and refusing irritableness can we avoid mistakes and find the solution to the problem when we are in trouble.Now the world we live in is becoming more and more colorful but bizarre. Facing such a materialistic society, every one is catching up without a stop, while they say: “we are pursuing our dreams.” But few people can realize that the beauty of lives lies in its peace and serenity, not its splendidness and passion. Therefore, whether you are in complacency, happiness or pain, please keep peace on mind and look for the sky of serenity so that you can forget all the bitterness and have a new life. Please remember: the eternal serenity is the real power in your heart, so keep peace on mind!1。

Unit1(BOOK4)
Part B The Hospital Window
Jack and Ben, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. Jack, whose bed was next to the room's only window, was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. But Ben had to spend all day and night flat on his bed. To kill time the two men began to talk. They talked for hours about their wives, families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, and where they had been on vacation. As days went by, a deep friendship began to develop between them.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself! He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall!

A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is S2 owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is S3 managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who S4 invest . in mutual funds are also known as shareholders because a unit of S5 ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its S6 shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some case, bonds. The fund's shareholders are indirect S7 investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the stocks of many companies in its portfolio, S8 . shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock marketMost mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, S9 the investment management company sponsoring the fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund . A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy or sell these shares through a stock exchange. S10The sponsor does not buy back or issue shares after a closed-end fund is launched, so the investor must trade them through a broker.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.the habit at all?Those questions became even more crucial last week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tobacco use among teenagers increased by nearly one-third in the last decade. In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did .Teens have their own issues their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions ,"says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers’ Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remain nonsmokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures. Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles .Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air. Air pollution has been a problem throughout history Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere .The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous.Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings , and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution.Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems. .Part 1 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel , airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks , airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training, insurance , and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes , and surcharges they have little or no control over , and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations.If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country .Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other player s in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales.While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% , catering companies 10-13% , handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed. hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December twenty-fourth, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created--Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to a tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night .In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.。

中科院英语听说教程《轻松听轻松说》（上册）听力原文及答案-Unit-8UNIT 8That’s a Good Idea!Advice and PersuasionIntroductionIn this unit you are going to hear some passages and dialogues in which people give advice and persuade. These two functions are more or less similar in that they both require a speaker to use language to make another accept an idea or to change another’s opinion or behavior. Students are usually quick in learning how to open the conversation by simply reciting some expressions for giving advice or persuading, but what is difficult and important is how to continue speaking after they’ve made a start. They often pause shortly after they’ve started, searching for ideas, words or patterns. This could be especially troublesome when the issue is a complicated or serious one. They have to pay attention to the appropriateness of speech which is realized by using suitable expressions. Also, they have to think of the ideas to follow. And what’s more, they have to combine the two processes to show the unity of form and content.Answers to the Questions:1.It’s about giving advice and persuading.2.There’s little troubl e for them to open a conversation.3. Chinese students often don’t know how to continue their speech after they’ve made a start.Background Information:Getting Advice from StrangersMost American adults don’t seek advice from members of their family, but it’s often given whether they want it or not. When they need advice, they usually ask people they know. Some Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects, including family problems, sex, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car.Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby.”The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers.” Experience is their preparation for giving advice.There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girlnamed Angel Cavaliere, who at the age of ten started writing advice for newspaper readers. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.Part One Listening InDirections: Listen to a typical conversation which involves asking for advice and then answer the questions.Speaking through the intercom, Susan calls Sam, her assistant, into her office.Susan: Please sit down.Sam: Sure. (He sits down.)Susan: I need your advice on a personal matter, but it’s notabout me.Sam: You need my advice on a personal matter, and it’s not about you. OK.Susan: It’s about my grandfather.Sam: What’s the problem?Susan: It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it is. I had dinner with him Saturday, and he’s very unhappy about not working.Sam: I thought he was retired and pleased to be living with the family.Susan: He is, but there’s so much energy and talent in the man, and he doesn’t get to use it. Sam: But what can I do? What kind of advice are you looking for?Susan: Simply this. John Marchetta runs this company.Sam: He founded this company.Susan: Right. John Marchetta gave me my start here six years ago, when I first graduated from college. He gave me the chance to use my talents and made me feel more confident.Sam: Right. Maybe he can do something for your grandfather.Susan: Or at least give him some advice.Sam: Right. Then I’ve solved your problem. (He laughs.)Susan: (laughing) I can always depend on you, Sam.Sam: I’m glad to help.Notes:Intercom means a device which people use to communicate with each other when they are in different rooms. It is usually like a box with a microphone for talking into and a loudspeaker to hear the reply. It’s an abbreviation for “intercommunication.”Answers to the Questions:1.Because she wants to get his advice on a personal matter.2.He’s very unhappy about not working.3.He is the boss of this company.4.Because he’s someone who gave Susan her start here six years ago and gave her the chance to use her talents and made her feel more confident.5.Sam said that maybe Mr. Marchetta could do something for Susan’s grandfathe r as he did for Susan six years ago.6.Actually he is not the one who solved Susan’s problem. Susan just used Sam as her “sounding board.”Notes:A “sounding board” is a term which refers to a person who simply listens without giving advice, while another person explains his problem.Discussion Questions:1.Nowadays, there are many old retired people in China. Do they enjoy their life? If so, how?2.Do many retired people find another job? If so, what kind of job do they usually like to do?3. What is your plan for your own retired life?Part Two Better ListeningSection APaula: Tell me, Maggie, how’s everything with you?Maggie: Oh, OK, except sometimes I get so tired of doing the same old things day after day. I mean, when we lived in Chicago I worked part time and went swimming every day.But since we moved I just cook and clean and run errands for Billy and George. Paula: It sounds like you need to get out of the house. Maybe you should try to get a job. Maggie: I guess I should, but I just can’t decide what to do.Paula: Well, what do you want to do?Maggie: Well, as a matter of fact, I’ve been thinking aboutopening a sporting goods store. Paula: A sporting goods store? How come?Maggie: Well, look at all the people that are skating and running these days. I mean, sports are so popular. And there isn’t a good sporting goods store in Tarry town, so I think it would make money. And besides, I want to work for myself... It’s a crazy idea,isn’t it? Anyway, how’s everything with you?Paula: I don’t think it’s crazy at all. In fact, I think it sounds kind of exciting.Notes:Run an errand means you do or get something for someone, usually by making a short trip somewhere. e.g. It was the children’s job to run errands.Answers to the Questions:1.Maggie sometimes gets tired of doing the same old things day after day.2.She worked part time and went swimming everyday.3.She always cooks and cleans and runs errands for Billy and George.4.She should get out of the house. Maybe she should try to get a job.5.Yes. She plans to open a sporting goods store.6.Because she thought sports are very popular and she could work for herself.7.She thinks it’s a crazy idea.8.Paula feels it quite exciting.Discussion Question:Would you like to work in a company, a college, or run your own business and be your own boss? What are the advantagesand disadvantages of each choice?Section BConversation OneA: I want your advice.B: Yes, what can I advise you about?A: I don’t want to pay this bill. It seems too much. What do you advise me to do?B: I advise you to write a letter to the company.A: Ought I to pay the bill?B: No, I advise you not to pay it yet. Wait till they answer your letter.Discussion Question:How do Chinese people pay their bills, for water or gas or electricity?Conversation TwoAnn: You smoke too much, Jack. It isn’t good for you. It makes you cough.Jack: I know it’s terrible. (cough) But I like it.Ann: I must persuade you to stop. I’m worried about you.Ja ck: You’ll never persuade me not to smoke.Ann: Well, will you give up cigarettes? Can I persuade you to try a pipe instead?Discussion Questions:1. Why do people smoke?2. How can one give up smoking?Conversation ThreeMother: Come along now Jilly love, eat up your dinner.Jilly: No, I don’t want to, I don’t like it, ... I hate mashed potatoes.Mother: You don’t hate mashed potatoes, and even if youdo, you’ve got to eat at least some of them.Jilly: I don’t want it and I’m not going to eat it.Mother: I f you don’t eat it, you won’t go to Granny’s on Saturday.Discussion Questions:1.What do most children enjoy eating? What do they dislike?2.How do you make a child eat something if he/she keeps saying no.Part Three Speaking OutFunctional ExpressionsRequesting advice:What do you think would help?What do you think of/about…?How do you feel about…?How do you…?What do you think I ought to do?Is there anything else I could/should do?Giving advice:If you want/are interested in/care for my advice, I…Please don’t take offence, I only wanted to tell you what I think.Personally,I think it would be better if you…As I see it,…My feeling is that…It’s none of my business, but I think…Let me give a little simple advice.Don’t you think it might be a good idea to…?Have you ever thought of…?I strongly advise...Sometimes, you may not accept other people’s suggestionsor advice. You can say:That’s a good idea, but…That might be OK, but…What you don’t seem to understand is that…I really don’t think so, because…Section AA Suggested Complete Conversation for Reference:A.I’m concerned about your blood pressure.B.My blood pressure?A.Yes. I strongly advise you to change your diet.B. Hmm. That won’t be easy.A.I know it won’t, but you really must. It’s absolutely essential.B.I understand. Do you have any suggestions that might help?A.Yes. You should eat less salty food. And you might look for a cookbook that has low fatrecipes.B.I see. Those are good suggestions. I’ll try to follow them. Thank you.Part Four Comprehensive PracticeSection AA Letter to Dear AbbyDear Abby:My fiance and I are planning to be married in Hawaii because our families live there. It will be a large church wedding, and I am sure we’ll be getting many wedding gifts.After the wedding we’ll be returning to Massachusetts, where we work and plan to live.We would rather receive money than the usual gifts, as we’d rather not have to pack our gifts and send them from Hawaii tothe mainland. Can you suggest a good way for us to ask people to write down what they want to give us, then send us the money, so we can buy the gift when we get to the mainland? Or don’t you like that idea?ReaderDear Reader:Asking for money instead of a gift is not a nice thing to do. Many people would rather send a gift, even though you have a good reason for wanting money instead. If I were you, I’d pack and ship the gifts to the mainland.Abby Suggested Answers to the guided note-taking exercises:1.get married in Hawaii2.to receive a lot of wedding gifts3.They will return to the mainland after the wedding ceremony so they don’t want to pack and send the gifts back there.4.to get money instead of gifts5.send the gifts back to the mainland6.The couple wants to find a good way to ask people to write down what they want to give the couple and send the couple the money so that they could buy the gifts when they get to the mainland.7.Abby advises the couple that it is not nice to request money instead of gifts. She suggests they pack and ship the gifts to the mainland.Discussion Questions:1. Are there any newspapers or magazines with special columns offering advice in China?2. What kind of problems do people write about to thesenewspaper or magazine writers?3. Would you ever write a letter to a newspaper or magazine to request advice? If so, whatquestions might you ask?Section BPat: You look a bit worried, Brian. Is anything wrong?Brian: No, not really.Pat: Are you sure? You don’t seem yourself today, somehow.Brian: Well... I’ve got to find a new flat somewhere. They’re going to pull down the building where I’m living at the moment.Pat: Well, is that such a problem?Brian: Yes, it is—when you’ve only got a week to do it in.Pat: A week? That seems rather short notice.Brian: Oh, I’ve known about it for ages, but I haven’t done anything about it until now. I kept meaning to but never got round to it somehow.Pat: Oh, I see. Well, Brian, if I were you I’d start looking through the papers straight away. Brian: I have... every day for the last week.Pat: And you haven’t found anywhere?Brian: No, not a thing. The flats were either too expensive or too far away, or someone had already beaten me to it. So I really don’t know what to do.Pat: Hmm. I see your point. But perhaps you could put an advert in the paper—you know—saying you’re looking for a flat.Brian: Yes, I could do that, I suppose, but it all takes time, doesn’t it? And if that doesn’t work then I’m worse off than before.Pat: Yes. I can see why you’re worried. (a slight pause) Hey! Wait a minute! Of course! How stupid of me!Brian: What, Pat?Pat: Ken—my brother—he’s an estate agent. I’m sure he’ll be able to help you. Why don’t you and I go round and see him after work?Brian: Well, that sounds like a marvelous idea, I must say. But are yo u sure he’ll be able to help?Pat: Yes, of course. I’m his sister, remember. So don’t worry. He’ll find you somewhere——wait and see.Brian: Oh, that’s wonderful, Pat. Thanks a lot. That’s certainly taken a load off my mind.Notes:Don’t seem oneself means not in a normal health or emotional state; not natural.(at or on) short notice means requiring action or response immediately after getting informed or called on, quickly, at once.e.g. We serve meals to guests at any time on short notice.get round to means eventually do something that one would have liked to avoid doing or that one was unable to do earlier.e.g. I didn’t get round to taking the examination.beat sb. to it (AmE. Oral)means do something earlier than someone; get the better of someone because of a favorable or advantageous position. e.g. They had hoped to surpass the state plan ahead of schedule, but another group beat them to it.Questions for the multiple choice exercises:1.What is Brian looking for?2.What has Brian been doing for the past week?3.Why did Brian get such a short notice?4.Why hasn’t Brian found anything in the past week?5.Which advice or help is not offered by Pat?6.Why did Pat’s last advice seem to work?Answers to questions:1.a2.d3.c4.a5.b6.aDiscussion Questions:1. Nepotism1 is very popular in China. Do you think it’s a good phenomenon or something to get rid of completely?2. Do you use nepotism? (In China, it might be called “guanxi” which refers to favoring not just relatives as nepotism, but also friends, colleagues, etc.)3. How do you respond when you are being asked to do a favor?Notes:Nepotism means the practice of favoring one’s relatives when one has power or a high office, esp. by giving them good jobs.。

Unit 4 HealthListeningAudio Track 3-4-1A: Has anyone you know ever faintedB: Oh, yes. He was one of my high school friends. One day he just fell on the floor and lost consciousness.A: What happened thenB: We felt very anxious. So one of us hurried to tell our teacher, and the rest of us waited beside him.A: Was it seriousB: Thankfully, it wasn’t. He recovered before our teacher arrived.A: How lucky!B: Yeah, he really was. He told us that he had been playing online games all night and h e hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why he felt lightheaded and fainted. Audio Track 3-4-2/ Audio Track 3-4-3/ Audio Track 3-4-4 Female newscaster (F), Male newscaster (M), Woman (W)F: Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn’t itM: Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They’re calling it the “holiday cruise disease.”F: It sounds scary. What caused itM: The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate.F: OK, give us the details.M: All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 . with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded.They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience. W: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really terrible!F: What’s the situation nowM: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday — after only two and a half days at sea — and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing nowM: They’re exhausted —many haven’t slept for 48 hours —but they’re doing fine.F: That’s good news. It’s too bad they couldn’t enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn’t want to refund the full amount.F: W hat’s going to happen thenM: Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story, though, and I’ll have more details for you tomorrow.Audio Track 3-4-5/ Audio Track 3-4-6/ Audio Track 3-4-7 Mom: Have you finished packingBill: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time. I don’t want to forget any of the pieces.Mom: Is that your first aid kitBill: Yep.Mom: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin. Where’s everything elseBill: Like whatMom: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste, for example.Bill: I’ll put it in. Don’t worry.Mom: And where is your allergy medicine You’ll need your nasal spray and some lozenges. Just in case.Bill: OK.Mom: Are you going to pack any lotion You know, you might touch some poison ivy or something and then …Bill: Mom, it’s only an overnight camping trip.Mom: OK, all right then. Oh … what about mouthwash After you brush your teeth you’re going to want …Bill: Mom, I’m not preparing for a date. I’m going on a camping trip! An overnight camping trip. I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!Mom: All right, then. I was just trying to be helpful. …I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Audio Track 3-4-8Susan: What’s wrongAnne: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.Susan: Do you have a coldAn ne: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred — he has the flu.Susan: I’m sorry to hear that.Anne: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Audio Track 3-4-9I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was hard to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early!A lot of people drink coffee just because they feel tired.Audio Track 3-4-10/ Audio Track 3-4-11Get in the habit!We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.These habits are:1. eating breakfast every day2. avoiding snacks between meals3. keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4. exercising regularly5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6. not smoking7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People inthis study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/ Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret’s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can’t. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she’s embarrassed by it. “I’ve nev er been a tidy person,” she says. “My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.”Today it’s so easy to get information … and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it’s too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can’t think clearly. “I can’t sleep at night because I worry,” says Bahman, a college senior. “It’s t errible.”Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. “I’m always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,” says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in “deskfast” (eat ing breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness!We’ve all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at theoffice. You have to pretend that you’re working. Steven works as a project manager. “I can finish my work in about four hours, but I’m afraid to say anything about it. I don’t want to be assigned too much work!” In severe cases, people with th is syndrome can get very bored and even become depressed.Chances are you’ve experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be “pain in the neck,” because that’s what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck.A good long massage is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Audio Track 3-4-14Ed is about to faint.Stop him from falling.Ask him to sit down.Loosen his collar.Ann has already fainted.Lay her on her back.Raise her legs.Check her body for injuries.Speaking and CommunicationAudio Track 3-4-15Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you todayChad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problemChad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can’t stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything elseChad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recentlyChad: Let’s see … I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit you. Please sit up here. Let’s take your temperature. Audio Track 3-4-16A: Excuse me. Are you all rightB: I’m not sure.A: What happenedB: I had a bicycle accident.A: How do you feelB: My ankle hurts badly.A: Maybe you can’t ride your bike for now.B: Yeah, you’re right.A: Is there anything I can do for youB: Yes, please. Would you mind calling an ambulance for me Thanks a million. Audio Track 3-4-17A: I seem to have a headache all the time.B: Well, you should try acupuncture.A: Really Have you tried it yourselfB: Absolutely. It really works.A: I don’t know ... I’m scared of needles.B: Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt and it’s very safe. You know, it has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medical practice.C: If you’re afraid of nee dles, perhaps you should try hypnotism.A: Is it effective in curing headachesC: Sure it is. It has been used to treat nervous energy and pain. The biggest advantage is that no medicine is required because it uses your mind to bring you peace of mind. It will definitely do you good.A: But I’m not sure if I could be hypnotized.C: Relax. I’ll recommend you a very nice hypnotist.D: If you find it difficult to be hypnotized, you should try yoga.A: But it’s physically challenging.D: That’s true but yoga emphasizes control of breathing and it’s a very good way to exercise. Daily exercises are said to help ease aches and pains.Video CourseVideo Track 3-4-1Alejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel ve ry weak and my … I’ve got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don’t want to get out of bed. So I stay home, I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick — and I mean really sick — the first thing I do is run to the medicine cabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I’m not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I’m really OK, and it’s just a matter of time.Malinda: When I was younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always makeme gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste can cure burns … bee stings … uh … bites … it’s … amazing. “I got a bee sting —ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I got burnt — ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I have cancer —ah, put toothpaste on it.”Kumiko: I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Catherine: My father’s been recently very interested in acupuncture. He’s been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he’s been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I’m a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.Video Track 3-4-2Gian: When I get sick — and I mean really sick — the first thing I do is run to the medicine cabinet and try to find something to make m e feel better.

听音乐可以缓解考试紧张英语作文
听音乐可以缓解考试紧张英语作文Music Makes Me Feel Better When I'm Nervous for a TestHey there! My name is Sam, and I'm in the fifth grade. I love listening to music, and it really helps me when I'm feeling stressed or nervous, especially before a big test at school.You see, at my age, we have to take a lot of tests. There are the regular tests that our teachers give us to check what we've learned in class. Then there are the big standardized tests that the whole school takes, like the state tests or the national tests. Those are the ones that really make me nervous!When I have a big test coming up, I start feeling all jittery and worried a few days before. My mind starts racing with thoughts like, "What if I don't do well?" or "What if I blank out and can't remember anything?" I have trouble sleeping the night before because I keep thinking about the test. Sometimes my stomach even gets upset from all the nerves!That's when I turn to my favorite kind of music to help me feel better. For me, that's usually upbeat pop songs or fun, bouncy tunes. The kind of music that makes you want to dance around and sing along. When I listen to those happy, energetic songs, it's hard to stay worried or anxious.Instead, the music lifts my mood and helps me feel more positive. I find myself bopping my head to the beat and maybe even doing a little dance around my room. Before I know it, I'm smiling and feeling much more relaxed. It's like the music chases away those nervous thoughts and replaces them with good vibes.But music can also help me in other ways when I'm feeling stressed about a test. Sometimes, I'll listen to calmer, more mellow tunes to help me concentrate better when I'm studying. The soothing melodies and gentle rhythms make it easier for me to focus on the material I need to review without getting distracted by my worries.Other times, I might put on some instrumental music, like classical or jazz, while I'm taking a practice test or working on test prep. The lack of lyrics means there are no words to distract me, but the music still creates a relaxing background that keeps me feeling calm and centered.My favorite thing to do, though, is to make a special playlist of songs that make me feel happy, confident, and motivated. I'll listen to that playlist in the days leading up to the test and again right before going into the test room. The positive, upliftinglyrics and melodies help me get into the right mindset, reminding me that I've studied hard and that I can do this!I know it might sound silly, but music really does have a powerful effect on how I feel, especially when it comes to dealing with test anxiety. It's like my own personal stress-relief tool that I can turn to whenever those nervous feelings start creeping in.So the next time you're feeling super stressed or anxious before a big test, why not give music a try? Put on your favorite tunes and let the melodies and rhythms work their magic. You might be surprised at how much better and more relaxed you feel!Who knows, maybe listening to music could even help you do better on the test by putting you in a calmer, more positive state of mind. It's definitely worth a shot, right? Just don't blast the music too loud right before the test – you don't want to distract the other students! But a little music beforehand could be just what you need to walk into that test feeling confident and ready to show what you know.So there you have it – my secret weapon against test anxiety is as simple as turning on some tunes. Give it a try next time you're feeling those pre-test jitters, and you might discover that music has the power to soothe your worried mind, too. Now ifyou'll excuse me, I've got a geometry test coming up, so I'd better go crank up my favorite playlist and get my positive vibes flowing!。

英语作文有关考试前听音乐缓解紧张的作文
英语作文有关考试前听音乐缓解紧张的作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Listening to music before an exam can help relieve stress and anxiety. Many students experience nervousness and tension before taking a test, and music can serve as a helpful tool to calm their minds and ease their worries.Music has the power to influence our mood and emotions. When we listen to music that we enjoy, our brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of pleasure and relaxation. This can help students feel more positive and confident before an exam.In addition, music has been shown to have a direct impact on our physical bodies. Listening to calming music can lower our heart rate and blood pressure, reducing the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety. This can help students feel more composed and focused as they prepare to take a test.Furthermore, music can also serve as a distraction from negative thoughts and worries. By focusing on the melodies andlyrics of a song, students can temporarily escape from the pressures of exams and find a sense of calm and peace.There are many different types of music that can be beneficial for relieving exam stress. Classical music, such as pieces by Mozart or Beethoven, is often recommended for its soothing and calming effects. Nature sounds, such as rain or ocean waves, can also be a great option for creating a tranquil atmosphere.Ultimately, the key is to choose music that resonates with you personally and brings you comfort and relaxation. By incorporating music into your pre-exam routine, you can help reduce anxiety and improve your overall test-taking experience. So next time you find yourself feeling nervous before an exam, consider putting on some music to help soothe your mind and focus your thoughts.篇2Listening to music before an exam to relieve tension is a common practice among students around the world. Music has the power to calm our nerves, lift our spirits, and enhance our focus, making it a valuable tool for reducing exam-related stress.One of the main benefits of listening to music before an exam is its ability to relax the mind and body. As we listen to our favorite songs, our breathing slows down, our heart rate decreases, and our muscles relax. This relaxation response can help to alleviate feelings of anxiety and nervousness, allowing us to approach the exam with a calm and clear mind.In addition to its calming effects, music can also improve our mood and boost our confidence. Upbeat and motivational songs can energize us and boost our morale, giving us the mental strength needed to tackle challenging questions and overcome any doubts or fears. By listening to music that makes us feel positive and empowered, we can cultivate a sense of resilience and self-assurance that can help us perform at our best during the exam.Furthermore, listening to music can help improve our concentration and focus. Certain types of music, such as classical or instrumental pieces, can create a soothing and harmonious environment that promotes deep concentration and mental clarity. By blocking out distractions and creating a peaceful atmosphere, music can help us stay fully engaged with our studies and maintain peak performance throughout the exam.Overall, incorporating music into our exam preparation routine can be a valuable strategy for managing stress, boosting confidence, and enhancing focus. Whether you prefer classical music, pop songs, or instrumental tracks, finding the right music that resonates with you can make a significant difference in your exam performance. So next time you feel anxious or overwhelmed before an exam, consider turning on some music to help you relax, recharge, and refocus your mind.篇3Listening to music is a common way to relax and unwind after a long day. However, did you know that it can also be a useful tool for reducing exam stress? With the pressure of exams looming, many students find themselves feeling anxious and overwhelmed. In these moments, turning to music can be a simple yet effective way to calm the nerves and help focus the mind.Music has a powerful effect on our emotions and can stimulate various parts of our brain. When we listen to music, our brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is known for its role in pleasure and reward. This can help to lift our mood and reduce feelings of anxiety. In addition, music can also help todistract us from negative thoughts and worries, allowing us to relax and focus on the task at hand.When it comes to studying for exams, choosing the right music is crucial. While some people may find that listening to upbeat and energetic tunes boosts their motivation and productivity, others may prefer more calming and soothing melodies to help them relax and concentrate. Classical music, in particular, is known for its ability to improve focus and cognition, making it an ideal choice for studying.In addition to its psychological benefits, music can also have a physical impact on our bodies. Listening to music can help to slow down our heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. By promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body, music can help to create a sense of calm and ease exam jitters.It is important to note that not all types of music will have the same effect on everyone. It is essential to experiment with different genres and styles to find what works best for you. Some students may find that instrumental music is more conducive to studying, while others may prefer songs with lyrics that resonate with them emotionally.In conclusion, incorporating music into your exam preparation routine can be a simple yet effective way to alleviate stress and anxiety. By choosing the right music that suits your preferences and needs, you can create a calming and productive environment that will help you perform at your best during exams. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed by exam pressure, remember to plug in your headphones, press play, and let the music soothe your mind and soul.。
听音乐可以缓解考试紧张英语作文
The Calming Effect of Music on Exam Anxiety In the fast-paced and often stressful world of exams, students often find themselves overwhelmed with anxiety and tension. This pressure can manifest in various ways, from difficulty focusing to panic attacks. However, one simple yet effective way to combat this exam anxiety is through the use of music. The calming effect of music has been scientifically proven, and it can be a powerful tool for students to use before, during, and even after exams.Firstly, let's explore the physiological effects of music on the body. When we listen to music, it triggers various responses in our brains, including the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This can help to reduce stress levels and create a sense of calmness. Additionally, music can also slow down our breathing and heart rate, further reducing the physical symptoms of anxiety.But the benefits of music don't just stop there. Music can also have a profound effect on our emotions. Listening to familiar or calming music can trigger positive memories and associations, helping us to feel more relaxed andconfident. This is especially useful before an exam, as it can help us to enter a more positive mindset, ready to face the challenges ahead.During an exam, music can also be used to help us focus. Soft instrumental music, for example, can create a calm and focused environment, helping us to block out distractions and stay on task. However, it's important to choose music that isn't too distracting or emotional, as this can have the opposite effect and increase anxiety levels.Finally, after an exam, music can be used to help us decompress and relax. Listening to music we enjoy can help us to forget about the stress of the exam and focus on something more positive. This can be a great way to easethe post-exam blues and start preparing for the next challenge.In conclusion, the calming effect of music on exam anxiety cannot be overstated. Whether you're a student preparing for your next big test or a teacher looking for ways to help your students cope with exam stress, music can be a powerful tool. So why not give it a try? Put on yourfavorite calming track and see if it can help you take on your exams with a more relaxed and confident mindset.**音乐缓解考试紧张的神奇力量**在考试这个快节奏、充满压力的世界里，学生们常常感到焦虑不安。

第一单元Part2LISTEN2One cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and his clothes were old and torn. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him into the store. There she bought him some new shoes and warm clothes.They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, “Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday.”The little boy looked up at her and asked, “Are you God, ma'am?”She smiled down at him and replied, “No, son, I'm just one of his children.”The little boy then said, “I knew you had to be a relative of God.”Part4 section2A few months ago, I moved into a very small flat after living for years with my parents. It is the first time I have ever had a place of my own and I am very fond of it, despite the lack of space. I had been there only for a few days when a friend phoned and begged me to let him stay for a while. He explained he had lost his job recently but was sure he would find another one very soon. Since I thought it would be onlyfor a short time, I agreed.More than a month has gone by and my friend shows no sign of moving out. There are only two small rooms in the flat, plus the small bathroom and tiny kitchen. He has more or less taken over the front room. I don't like sharing the bathroom, either. In fact, I just don't like other people living in my flat!A few days ago, I decided that it was enough and that he would have to leave. I intended to tell him that I wanted the place to myself again, but he persuaded me to let him stay longer. He still hasn't found a job and can't afford to rent a place of his own. And there just doesn't seem to be anyone else he can stay with.Of course, I'd like to help him. He is, after all, a friend! But there are limits, even to friendship. I don't know what I'll do if he is here much longer.第二单元PART TWO 一A math professor was very absent-minded. When he moved from Cambridge to Newton, his wife, knowing that he would forget that they had moved and where they had moved to, wrote down the new address on a piece of paper and gave it to him.During the day, the professor had an idea in solving a math problem. He reached in his pocket, found the piece of paper and started to write on it. Then he thought it over and realized that there was a mistake in his idea. So he threw the piece of paper away.At the end of the day he went home (to the old address in Cambridge, of course). When he got there, he realized that they had moved. However, he had no idea where they had moved to, and the piece of paper with the address was long gone. Fortunately, there was a young girl on the street. H e went to her and asked, “Excuse me, perhaps you know me. I lived in this house until this morning, and we've just moved. Would you know where we've moved to?”The young girl replied, “Yes, Daddy, Mommy thought you would forget, so I came to meet you.”PART THREE 一] For an anniversary gift, my friend Nathan decided to give his parents a specially monogrammed quilt that said “The Wood Family—established ? ? /? ? /? ?” Unfortunately, he couldn't remember his parents' wedding date, so he dialed their home, and his father answered.“Hi, Dad,” Nathan said. “I need to know the date when you and Mom were married.”For the next several moments, the line was silent. Finally, Nathan heard his father's voice once again. “Carol, ” he called out to his wife, “it's for you.”三Memory seems to be a growing problem in my family. My wife has trouble remembering a number of things, including where she left her keys, whether she paid her credit card bill, when she visited her dentist last, and why she married me.I have trouble remembering things, too, including appointments, anniversaries, and birthdays. My memory got me in big trouble last year: I couldn't remember the exact date of my wife's birthday. She was really upset, giving me no credit whatsoever for remembering the exact month.I also have trouble remembering people's names. They introduce themselves to me and two seconds later I have no idea what to call them. “Hey you!” doesn't seem to please anyone, not even my sister.If everybody worked on their memory, the world would have fewer problems. For example, the divorce rate—growing faster than my bald spot—would decrease. A married man who's tempted to have an affair would be able to remember what the ring on his finger means. And he might also remember his wedding vows.Of course, having great memory has its disadvantages. When others hurt us, we would perhaps forgive, but we couldn't possibly forget.At family reunions, we'd be bored too soon, after recalling every last detail of Uncle Mike's adventure in the Amazon, which he has told us only 189 times.Great memory would also ruin our enjoyment of prime time TV, because half the shows are reruns. Forgetting the plot is crucial.四Every time I smell roses I can see myself again in the garden of that large house in Cornwall. The year is 1971, the month is March and the sun is shining. And when I smell a certain type of suntan oil, I am back again in the Greek islands. Or it is the smell of lavender that reminds me of my grandmother.Smell is one of the senses that is most likely to produce pleasant memories, but it is the most difficult to recall. This is because only a small area of the brain is used in smell. Most people, however, can recognize at least 4,000 different smells, and women usually have a better sense of smell than men.Our ideas of what smells are pleasant or unpleasant is something that we learn at about the age of three or four. It is not something we are born with. We learn what smells good and what doesn't. And we know what smells mean danger, for example, the smell of burning.Flowers are one thing, but what about the smell of people? Each human being has a unique odor. A one-month old baby can recognize its mother by smell. In many parts of the world people greet each other by sniffing the face or the hands. The kiss began as a sniff and New Zealand Maoris still sniff when they meet one another. In modern times we use soap and perfume to replace our natural odor.PART FOUR 一Mr. Jones hadn't called his doctor for several years. Now it was two o'clock in the morning, and his wife had a bad stomachache that he was sure was appendicitis. The doctor said, “Relax. It couldn't possibly be appendicitis. She probably has something wrong with her stomach. I took out your wife's appendix ten years ago, and in all of medical history, I've never heard of anyone having a second appendix.” “That may be true,” Mr. Jones said, “but haven't you ever heard of anyone having a second wife?” 三One day, Carol Evans was walking along the street when she bumped into another woman. She looked at the woman very carefully. Then she said, “Kate Foster! Well, well, well, I haven't seen you for ten years.”She looked the woman up and down. “But you've changed, Kate,” she went on. “You used to be fat, but now you're slim.” She smiled at her, “But you look well and it's good to see you again.” She took the woman's hand and shook it. “But, oh, you have changed,” she said. “I've never known anyone to chang e so much. You used to have thick hair but now it's very thin. You didn't used to wear glasses but now you're wearing really thick ones.” She smiled at the woman again. “But you're still the same Kate Foster I used to have coffee with every week. We had some good times, didn't we, Kate?”“Excuse me, ma'am,” the woman said, “but my name isn't Kate Foster.”Carol thought for a minute, and then she said, “So you've changed your name as well, haven't you?”第三单元As a famous writer, Mark Twain was also famous in his day as a lecturer and teller of funny stories. He often went from town to town giving lectures that included many funny stories.One day, he was walking down the street of a small town where he was going to give a lecture that evening. A young man came up to him and said, “Mr. Twain, I'd like to talk to you for a minute, please. I have an uncle that I love very much. The problem is he never laughs or smiles. Is there anything you can suggest?”“Don't worry. Bring your uncle to my lecture this eveni ng, young man. I promise that he'll laugh and smile.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the first row, allowing Mark Twain to speak directly to them. He told some rather funny stories, but the old man nevereven smiled. Then he told the funniest stories he knew, but the old man's face still remained blank. Mark Twain finished the lecture almost exhausted.Later Mark Twain was telling a friend about the experience.“Oh!” said the friend. “You could have saved yourself the trouble. I know tha t old man. He has been deaf for years.”三Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you. It's not that I want you not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel. More than words is all you have to do to make it real. Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know.* What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real. What would you say if I took those words away? Then you couldn't make things new just by saying I love you.Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands and touch me Hold me close don't ever let me go. More than words is all I ever needed you to show. Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already knowPART THREE 一For almost an hour, a customer tried on one swimsuit after another in our shop. As her saleslady, I wasn't of much help because she wouldn't open the dressing room (试衣室) door. However, she wouldn't open it to let her husband or daughter see the various suits either. Annoyed, the daughter demanded she be allowed in the dressing room. The mother finally gave in.“But not just yet,” she cried out. “I'm in my birthday suit.”With a wry grin, her husband said, “At least we know that one fits!”二The lady who was in the bed opposite from where I was, who was a Nigerian lady whose English wasn't good enough, said to me, “How old is your son?” And I said, “He is seven.” “Y our other son,” she said. I said, “He's seven.” “No, your other son. Y our big son.” And it came in ablinding flash that she was talking about Mike. So I said, “That's not my son, that's my husband.” Instead of retiring into a corner, licking her wounds, t hinking, “Oh God, I've said the most awful thing.” she went on with the subject by saying, “I said to my husband, it was strange. I haven't seen a son being so full of love for his mother as that son is!” But she'd really just got me and, you know, now I can laugh. It's a joke and it's a nice dinner-party story, in a way. But at the time I was completely destroyed.三People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a library or on a beach or a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have spread your books around you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man across from me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was annoyed. I thought he thought he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.四In interpersonal communication, people in almost every culture recognize four different distances: intimate, personal, social, and public. Intimate distance occurs in a very close relationship such as between a mother and a child. Personal distance lets good friends talk closely but comfortably. Social distance is used at parties or other gatherings. Public distance concerns more formal situations such as between a teacher and a student.These four types of distance exist in all countries, but the amount of distance usually depends on the culture. At a party, for example, a Canadian may sit several feet away from you, while an Arab may sit very near to you. Your awareness of the other culture's use of distance can often help you communicate better with its people.PART FOUR 一There was a long line of “souls” before the gate of “Heaven” and “Hell”. Waiting in line beside each other were two residents of New York City, a taxi driver and a priest,and they started chatting to kill the time. Finally, it was the taxi driver's turn to be judged; after talking with “God” for a few minutes, he was allowed to enter “heaven”. The priest came after him and had his few minutes with “God”. He, however, was sent to “hell”.Needless to say, the priest was surprised by th is turn of events and asked “God” why he, who had constantly talked to people about “God”, had been sent to “hell” and a taxi driver was going to “heaven”. “God” replied, “We judge whether one goes to'heaven' not by the words he has said but by the deeds he has done on earth. While you talked about 'God', people slept, but they all remembered me when he drove.”二There was once a man who was miserable over the loss of his left eye. But one day he got the idea that he might, by making an artificial eye, be able to regain his good looks. This hope was so strong that he started to work on it right away. After weeks of diligent experimentation, he produced an eye using a special kind of wood. He believed nobody would be able to tell that it was false. However he would not be satisfied until his wooden eye had been tested and shown to be attractive. So he went to a dance that weekend. There were many beautiful girls at this dance, but he had decided before he came that it would be much safer to ask, at least at first, a less attractive one. Therefore, seeing a girl in the corner with a particularly big nose, he came close to her. Proud and confident of his appearance, he asked the girl, in a polite and gentle voice,“Would you like to dance?” Excited about the unex pected honor, she jumped up and said twice, rapidly, “Would I? Would I?” Hearing this, the man's face grew red with anger and hurt. As he left her, he shouted back at her, “Big nose! Big nose!”三Knowing how to read body language is a useful communication skill, so is knowing how to use it. There are two basic groups of body language postures: OPEN/CLOSED and FORWARD/BACK.OPEN/CLOSED is the most obvious. People with arms folded and legs crossed and bodies turned away are signaling that they are rejecting messages. People showing open hands, fully facing you and both feet planted on the ground are accepting you. FORWARD/BACK indicates whether people are actively or passively reacting to communication. When they are leaning forward and pointing towards you, they are actively accepting or rejecting the message. When they are leaning back, looking up at the ceiling, doodling (乱涂乱画) on a pad, or cleaning their glasses they are either passively absorbing or ignoring it.第四单元PART TWO二We were learning German in a comfortable classroom. There were seven of us, ranging in age from 20 to 60. A couple of us knew a little German, the others knew absolutely nothing.For the three weeks we were children again. We competed in games; when we won we were rewarded with chocolates. We shouted, we sang songs, above all we laughed. And although the learning method sounded strange for adults, it worked! On the first day we learned to count to 50. When Katya, our teacher, threw a ball at us, it was our turn to say the next number. We learned to go, stay, stand, open, close, see, hear, read, write by acting them out physically.Opposites—big, little; fat, thin; high, low—Katya demonstrated them all. Later we learned prepositions by clapping our hands. And all the time the words were up on the wall on posters or shown to us on cards.Twice every day we read a story. In the story there was an immense vocabulary having to do with eating, drinking, booking rooms, visiting friends, going to the theatre, skiing, boating, shopping, sightseeing, reading and writing. Katya told us to lie back, shut our eyes, settle down comfortably and she read for 35 minutes while music played.The teachers don't like to say how many words you learn in a basic course but it's probably between 3000 and 5000. The method helps you to remember without making an effort. Learning becomes a pleasure.三A good opportunity for many international students to pursue a higher education is to leave their native country and come to the United States.189 international students, mostly from India, decided to attend Southern University.Following in his father's footsteps, Rajeshekhar Chimmalgi, a freshman physics major from India came to Baton Rouge in 1998 and attended Southern University. He has good things to say to hopeful attendees.“At Southern, the physics' department staff and students helped me get through t he registration process and advised me how to study and what classes to take,” Chimmalgi said.The majority of international students at Southern are there to obtain a graduate degree and then return to their home country. However, during their short stay in the U.S., many international students find it hard to fit in.“It is really difficult because you are the only one and you don't know anyone,” Chimmalgi said.One of the easiest ways for them to feel comfortable is to be around people from their own culture. “I have some friends from Jamaica and Trinidad, so I don't feel so out of place,” said one student named Boogle.Farhana Lubna, a third semester graduate student from Bangladesh, feels that Southern could do more to make them feel comfortable. He said, “at Louisiana State University, they have an international expo and foreign students introduce their culture to the university. I think Southern could do something similar to that.”四When students from other countries come to the United States, they are sometimes shocked at the informality in American college and university classes. For example, American professors do not dress up and they generally call students by their first names. Students can speak out in class, without raising their hands. Students can drink coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks during class.Foreign students can usually get used to these differences easily. However, two examples of American informality are very difficult for some to understand. First, American students call their teachers by their first names. Instead of calling a teacher Mr. Smith or Professor Johnson, they call them Tom or Barbara. In some countries, students are not allowed to do that. Second, American students sometimes criticize the ideas of their teacher. They might also give their teachers suggestions about changing something in the class. In many countries, students cannot openly criticize their teachers or classes.Thus, some foreign students feel shocked, embarrassed and uncomfortable in American classrooms. They have two choices. One, they can imitate the behavior of the American students. But this will make them feel uncomfortable and disrespectful. Two, they can continue to follow their own customs. But in this case, the American teachers and students might think that the foreign students are too formal or too quiet. What is the solution to this problem? There is no easy answer. However, time will help to solve the problem, because foreign students will become accustomed to the new behavior.PART4 SECTION3Learning a skill requires time. No one acquires an ability to do some activity instantly. It is possible to pack information into your head in a relatively short period, but a skill must be developed. Any activity, whether it is riding a horse, or writing a paper, is actually composed of several separate and different activities, each of which must be mastered a step at a time. The basics are learned first, then additional abilities are developed and refined. A rider learns to sit a horse at the various gaits, then he learns how to position his hands and how to hold his feet. He is not expected to learn at once everything that riding involves. The same is true as you develop your skill as a writer. You cannot possibly discover all that you need to know at once.You will start with the basics of composing and move from there, learning to develop a number of separate abilities that will improve your overall ability to write effectively. Don't be discouraged if your work is not perfect at first. No one expects it to be because it can't be. You should expect progress, not perfection, from yourself.。

When my inventory was completed I proudly showed it to a wise elder who had been the mentor and spiritual model of my youth. Perhaps I was trying to impress him with my precocious wisdom. Anyway, I handed him the list. “This”, I told him confidently, “is the sum of mortal goods. Could a man possess them all, he would be as a god.”
“On my head pour only the sweet waters of serenity. Give me the gift of the Untrorticle help me when I felt bad, I like it. Now let's participate it!
“And what,” I asked, peppering my voice with truculence, “is that missing ingredient?” With a pencil stub he crossed out my entire schedule. Then, having demolished my adolescent dream structure at a single stroke, he wrote down three syllables: peace of mind.” This is the gift that God reserves for His special protégés,” he said.
Once, as a young man full of exuberant fancy, I undertook to draw up a catalogue of the acknowledged “goods” of life. As other men sometimes tabulate of properties they own or would like to own, I set down my inventory of earthly desirables: healthy, love, beauty, talent, power, riches, and fame.
At the corners of my friend’s old eyes, I saw wrinkles of amusement gathering in a patient net. “An excellent list,” he said, pondering it thoughtfully. “Well digested in contented and set down in not-unreasonable order. But it appears, my young friend, that you have omitted the most important element of all. You have forgotten the one ingredient, lacking whic each possession because a hideous torment.”
“Talent and beauty He gives to many. Wealth is commonplace, fame not rare. But peace of mind — that is His final guerdon of approval, the fondest insignia of His love. He bestows it charily Most men are never blessed with it; others wait all their lives — yes, far into advanced age — for this gift to descend upon them.”
