She is interested in playing the piano and is fond of reading and playing computer games. At weekends Maggie loves going to Chinese restaurants and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes her feel relaxed. In the evening she enjoys watching TV in her own room. She thinks a lot of news programs but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.Listening StrategyIdentifying NumbersIt is necessary for us to listen for specific words that contain the information we need.

I'm a new student and I'd like to have some information about the ...em...the accommodation for students.R: Right. The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence andself-catering accommodation.S: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?R: For a single room, ￡37.86 per week, that's about ￡5.40 a day. For a double room, it's ￡52.78 per week. This will apply throughout this academic year.S: I'd like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is it from the residence to the university?R: It all depends. The residences at Elms Road and Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freemen's Common Houses at William Road are half a mile.S: When do I need to apply?R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?S: Undergraduate.R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.S: Could you possibly tell me what to do, if no vacancy is available?R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.S: Where’s the office?R: In the Students’ Union Building.S: Whom can I contact?R: Mr. Underwood. David Underwood, the manager of the accommodation information office. S: Thank you very much.R: You are welcomeExercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and then choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What does the conversation mainly tell us?a. The university provides two types of accommodation.b. Students must apply early since the places in university-owned accommodation arelimited.c. A student can choose from university-owned accommodation or private accommodation.d. Most students prefer self-catering accommodation.2. Which of the following is not included in the conversation?a.

The cost for private accommodation.Exercise 2: Listening for detailsListen to the recording twice and fill in the blanks in the following passage with the missing information.There are two types of 1) accommodation. One is university-owned and the other is 2) private. For the university-owned type, it can be further divided into two: 3) halls of residence and self-catering accommodation. For the latter, there are two kinds of rooms. A single room costs 4)￡37.86 per week and a 5) double room costs ￡52.78 per week. University owned accommodation offers 6) limited places. Therefore, you should apply 7) early/as soon as possible/before the end of the month. If you want to apply for 8) private accommodation, you may go to the accommodation information office in the 9) Students’ Union Building and contact David Underwood, who is the (10) manager of the office.Part CAdditional ListeningA Passage What College Professors DoListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing information.College professors seem to teach few classes but they actually lead busy lives. Every week the average professor spends between six to fifteen hours in the classroom but works from sixty to eighty hours. Professors spend part of that time reading because they must remain current in their fields. After reading, they will work on their class lecture notes to revise and update them. Besides, they must grade papers, prepare their lessons, write articles and books, or work on various projects. So, college professors have very full schedules.ScriptWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow’s classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Part DTest Your Listening A PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1.What does the passage mainly tell us? How to live with your roommates.a.How to win the respect of your roommates.b.How to be good friends of your roommates.c.How to be nice to your roommates.2.What’s the only way you will be able to live with your roo mmates according to the passage?a.To have talks with your roommates often.b.To be considerate towards your roommates.c.To make compromises when problems arise.d.To change your habits and ask your roommates to change theirs.3. Which of the following is true?a. If you try hard, you will be able to solve the problems you have with your roommates.b. It is hard for roommates to get along well because they disturb one another.c. The best way to deal with your roommates is to stick to what you want to do.d. If you have friends over and therefore may disturb your roommates, make apologies.ScriptDespite what your parents and others try to make you believe, life at college may not be the best experience you will ever live through. Why?The simple one word answer is: Roommates. One has often heard about the guy that never sleeps or the girl who always has her friends over or the one who studies all the time and becomes very disturbed by the slightest movement you make. Okay, they are not all that bad. So how do you get them to stop?You can't do it. It's impossible. The only way you will be able to live with your roommates is by compromising. If you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. If you don't like to listen to music while you are studying but one of your roommates does, ask him to use headphones. Talk about your habits and ask your roommates about theirs. Respect your roommates and your roommates will respect you.You may not be friends with your roommates by the end of the year but you may be friends with them the year after, when you are no longer rooming together. This is alright though. Sometimes it's too difficult to try to live together and be good friends at the same time. Roommates are not always meant to be your best friends.Remember: Not only do you have roommates, you are a roommate. Be good to your roommates.。

Unit 01 School life听力原文doc

Unit 01 School lifeClip 1 Healthy eatingWoman 1: The schools are doing it because they’ve got to promote healthy eating and I think it’s the right message. But I think really they should target the parents beforehand, because I think it’s quite sad for the children to have things in there and then to take them away.Woman 2: I think it’s a good idea. I think children should eat healthy while they’re at school. Treats should be at weekends or after school.Man 1: So what is allowed in children’s lunch bags? Well, here I have an array of food. Good and bad.Man 2: Sandwiches, pasta, fruit and nuts are fine. Sweets, crisps, fizzy[1] drinks and chocolate though are set to be taken away.Clip 2 Grants for school buildingsV oice-over: The building work continues but for how much longer? They’re ready to start a second phase of refurbishment here, but the college may have to send the builders home. Woman 1: We’ve just c ome up onto the roof of the old building and as you can see there, that is the new building we’ve been working on for two years and we’re just about to move into the refurbishment of this great two-lifted building.V oice-over: The principal of South Thames College told me what would happen of she doesn’t get the money for the new building project.Woman 1: I will have already committed six and a half to eight million pounds that will then be the College’s debt. And this building would no longer work because the services would be cut off and this will have to be muffled.V oice-over: From hair dressing to forensic science—over 20,000 students and adult learners come here. Some classes are in the old listed building. But the basement floods and the heating breaks down and that’s why they wanted to give it a refurb.Clip 3 The increasing tuition feeV oice-over: University fees paid by these students are capped at around 3.000 pounds a year. But the government is due to review the situation and the body representi ng the bosses of England’s universities has a suggestion, to increase fees to 5,000 or even 7,000 pounds a year.Woman 1: We have a world-class reputation that needs to be maintained. Students, I think quite rightly, expect a very high-quality higher education. And that has to be paid for.Woman 2: Today’s second-year students will leave university with debts of more than 17,000 pounds on average. Under one of the schemes being discussed today, that amount will increase to more than 26,000 pounds, a sum that could take quite a few years to pay off. The question is, would this increase actually put young people off from applying to university in the first place. Man 1: Potentially yes. Yes, I would have to assess my personal situation at that time. But I think it will put a lot of people off as it’s a huge amount of money.Woman 3: I’m doing a history degree so I have about eight hours of contact a week. So as for my money being wasted, whereas medical students have lots of labs and lots of money on them, so I think it would kind of cause me to think twice about going to university and which university I go to and where.Man 2: Well I think it is breathtakingly arrogant of university vice chancellors to be talking about doubling the level of tuition fees and the level of graduate debt in the middle of a recession. I think they need to get out of their ivory tower to look at what is going on with the economy now.Students are in increasing hardship already and leaving tens of thousand of people graduating with even bigger amounts of debts is reckless and irresponsible.V oice-over: Introducing tuition fees in the first place was controversial and difficult so the government is unlikely to rush to increase them now. Annabel Roberts. ITV News.Clip 4 Graduates facing difficult timeV oice-over: Students setting out on life’s journey are feeling the economic strain before they’ve even secured their first job. For as the economy contracts, graduates vacancies have fallen for the first time in three years.Woman 1: Most o f the other people that I know in my degree, in my course, they’re still struggling to find jobs.V oice-over: Diphian Serran is a final-year student hoping for a first-class degree and praying for a good job. So far, despite numerous interviews and an impr essive CV, she’s had bad luck.Woman 1: Very bad luck. Unfortunately. I’ve gone through the interview stage of many, so to the final stage. But once I reach there, I often get, either get rejected or it’s, you know, “we’ll let you know”.V oice-over: The downturn in manufacturing and the meltdown in the financial services mean that nearly half of the employers expect to hire fewer graduates this year. That means the competition on campus has ever been tougher.Woman 2: This is the generation of university students who were born and bred in the economic boom. But they are graduating in the economic bust. Recruitment’s down, salaries are frozen. This is crunch time in every sense.Man 1: These times are a lot tougher than they had been the last 10, 15, possibly even 20 years. But employers are still recruiting. The brains of today are the profits of tomorrow. The question is whether the graduates are able to adjust their expectations to the realities of the labor market.V oice-over: For this final year engineering student, the reality is still great. Vacancies in the engineering and public sectors are on the rise. Will’s found a job in a bank. His starting salary is 42K.Man 2: There are still opportunities down there for people being smart or, kind of risk savvy enough to get them so it’s just, you know, it’s more difficult but it’s not impossible.V oice-over: The generation who never had it so good as children may find the economic realities harder as adults. Penny Marshall. News at Ten. Warwick University.Clip 5 Value of a degreeV oice-over: ‘T his the season when 400,000 bright young things write off hoping their dreams will come true. Not a letter to Santa, but a university application form. The government wants half of all our young people to experience the wonderful world of the undergraduate. The joy of learning, of student life, the thrill of graduation, the invitation to high-powered, exciting careers.The reality can be rather different. A few years ago these telesales staff would have been school leavers. Today this publishing firm employs only graduates. Same job, similar salary, different qualifications.Man 1: Fifteen years ago we would’ve probably said the basic requirements would be A-levels. Because that would be the benchmark we would’ve expected o ur new employees to have achieved. You know now we see the benchmark is being the degree. So I think the very fact that there are far more students leaving university looking for jobs, enables us to specify a degree today whereas we wouldn’t have done 15 y ears ago,V oice-over: Thirty-five per cent of graduates enter the world of work in a job that doesn’t need a degree. And many get stuck in careers they don’t like. Asked what they did want to do, 47% hoped for jobs in media, advertising or PR. Other popular careers include design—favored by 21% of women—and computing, picked by 23% of men. But over 10% of media studies graduates are currently unemployed. It’s the same for design studies. And even worse in computing. Unpopular careers include engineering. Only 9% of students mention that. And yet unemployment amongst civil engineering graduates is only 2.9%.At today’s graduate recruitment fair, thousands of students were searching for jobs. But engineering stands were typically deserted. And those that did enquire often lacked relevant qualifications. The engineering industry believes in encouraging yet more school leavers to go to university may be an expensive indulgence.Man 2: Universities argue that we are not training, we are educating. We are creating people who can think. Now, if we are just producing philosophers and thinkers, I don’t think we are going to resolve the economic needs of this country. I mean, that would be absolutely silly, quite frankly.V oice-over: There are now 60,000 different degree courses in Britain. The biggest increase in so-called cheap degrees, usually humanities or social sciences, which don’t require equipment or laboratories. Universities get money for how many students they have and extra cash if they can woo school leavers from poor and deprived backgrounds. Students are saddled with debts, justified by government on the basis that across a lifetime, a degree is worth an extra 400,000 pounds. But is it?Man 3: There are two flaws in the government’s figures. Firstly they’r e based on the percentage of graduates going through our education. Those figures were in a small per cent. In a couple of years’ time one in every two people will go through higher education of that age group. The second big fundamental problem is they were based on an employment market where there was a job for life, Things have changed.V oice-over: Here at this plumbing school in North London, about 20% of the class are graduates who’ve decided to retrain. Many come from just the kind of backgrounds gove rnment wants to encourage into higher education. But their experience is hardly an advert.Man 4: By the time I graduated I would say there weren’t the jobs there. So in hindsight, it probably was a waste of time, yeah.Man 5: So how much money do you reckon you can earn as a plumber?Woman1: Well, they say between 50 to 75 thousand in about 10 years’ time.Man 5: 75 grand?Woman 1: Approximately, yes.Clip 6 School disciplines (David Cameron’s speech, 31 July 2007)So going back to my question, how do we translate our values into action? To reprise[3] those values, families as the origin of society, the role of schools in backing up and adding to the lessons of home, the need for clear boundaries and for rules of behavior, the diversity and the differentness of children, the obligation to help the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.Earlier this month I spoke about families. Most of all, we need to encourage stable parental relationships for example, as has been suggested, through removing the bias through against cohabitation in the benefits system and using the tax system to support married couples.Yesterday I spoke about special educational needs. We need to radically reform the statementing process to give parents what they need, including a more sensitive and flexible system of categorising special needs. Parents need greater choice between specialist schools and mainstream schools. And until the system is properly balanced, we believe we need a moratorium[4] on the closure of special schools.Today I want to explain something of what we'll do to improve behaviour in the mainstream schools.Sometimes people who discuss education give the impression that some sort of incredibly complex alchemy. It isn’t. We know what works because we see it, in our own country and oversees. The best schools, whether they are private schools, academies, grammar schools, comprehensives, have some simple things in common. Most of all, they have an independent ethos and clear rules on acceptable behaviour.Schools should be places where teachers teach and children learn - not sort of holding centres for children irrespective of how badly they behave. Most of all, they should be places where the kids respect, and even fear, the teachers, and not the other way around. If we want our children to grow up in a loving environment, they need to know where the lines are and not to step over them.Heads need to be able to impose real codes of behaviour and discipline and be backed up by parents.Teachers often say to me that they set clear rules, they enforce them and then the parents come along and take the side of the child. This can completely undermine the authority of the school and contribute directly to bad behaviour.Now many schools have home-school contracts, setting out in black and white what is expected of the school, of the parent and of the child. I'd like to take this idea further and make them enforceable, as requirements of admission and as grounds for exclusion.Head teachers should be able to say to parents, if you don’t sign up to this code of conduct for yourselves and your children, your child cannot come to school as simple as that.And I want to strengthen the position of teachers as well. More needs be done to protect teachers from the tiny minority who are bent on undermining authority in schools by making false allegations of abuse against the teacher. This is a growing problem. A recent survey in SecEd magazine indicated that 20 per cent of teachers had been falsely accused and 55 per cent of teachers knew a colleague in their school to whom this had happened.The Teacher Support phone line is taking almost twice as many calls about pupil allegations as it did a year ago. Yet in the past ten years only three per cent of serious allegations have actually resulted in a conviction. And that’s why we believe that teachers should have the full protection of anonymity until the case against them has actually been dealt with.Given the elementary principle that a head teacher must have control over the standards of behaviour in his or her school, this must mean, as a last resort, the power to exclude pupils whose conduct badly disrupts the education of others.Today, at the moment, if a head teacher excludes a pupil, the child has a right of appeal to an external panel run by the local authority. And currently a quarter of the exclusions which are reviewed by appeals panels are overturned. More than half of these pupils are then returned to the school from which they have been expelled.Now just imagine what that does to the standing of the head teacher in the eyes of the students. To see a child, expelled for bad behaviour, swaggering back into the school. It sends completely the wrong message about the relative power of the child and of the school itself. The local authority should be there to serve the school, to help the school, to support the school, not the other way around.。

08-09第一学期大学英语视听说期末考试18篇短文

18 Beautiful Essaysfor the Final Examination of Audio-Visual-Oral English (I) for BIT First-Year Undergraduates (Examination Time: January 10th, 2009)1. On IdealsEveryone cherishes his ideals, fanciful or substantial. We dreamed of becoming scientists when we were school boys and girls; now we hope for a better society and are determined to work for it. And we strive, one way or another, to realize our ideals.One should be sensible whether one’s ideal is well-founded or not. If it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill and persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others, including advice and support in different forms. In most cases, the realization of personal ideals is in the interest of the society. On the other hand, social ideals such as the preservation of natural environment for the improvement of human living conditions and the production of sufficient material wealth for the world’s population concern the whole of society, and their realization calls for contribution by all. We should always try our best to help such ideals come true.2. WasteMankind is wasting things everywhere and every day. Wherever we turn, we can see that paper, bottles and cans are thrown away; food is wasted just because of its poor taste; clothes are discarded simply due to their old fashion. Not only are things and money are wasted, but natural resources are abused as well. Trees are cut down merely for fuel; wildlife is killed simply for food; oil, coal and minerals are exploited in a bad way. It is time to call for an end to waste.We must save natural resources and make full use of them; otherwise human beings will be faced with the scarcity of natural resources and suffer from the pollution caused by waste.3. No Pains, No GainsThe height which great men reach and keep is not attained by asudden flight.Most of us feel envious of the famous and successful people. We donot understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks. In our misconception, we think thatpeople are prosperous because they are especially gifted or that they are “just lucky”.All these have taken root in our stubborn minds, and we refuse to believe that most great men have a mind which is the same as, or perhaps even simpler and duller than ours.Yet, their triumphs are great. Why? Because they are apt to fight difficulties with perseverance and without fatigue, undergo sufferings without minding the wounds; they realize that hardships form the road which they must pass through before reaching their destination. Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life.4. Rome Was Not Built in a DayThe good old proverb, “Rome was not built in a day,” reminds us that great things are never done without much time and labor. It takes us back to Rome, the capital of the greatest empire of the ancient world and the most brilliant city of ancient times. Indeed, Rome was built through the labors of many a great man who had been striving against difficulties.As human beings, we are eager to win merits for ourselves. It is, however, only patience as well as endurance that can help us to succeed in performing great deeds; for difficulties are in fact unavoidable, unless we do not engage in anything at all.Young people are, however, mostly impatient. Brave as they may be in the beginning, they often give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable. Most of such a type can hardly expect to succeed.5. Don’t Give UpIf we would ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget thatwe must persevere. If we would learn our lessons in school, wemust be diligent and not give up whenever we come across anything difficult. We will find many of our lessons very hard, butlet us consider that the harder they are the better they will be for us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly.But there are some among us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, “I can’t do this.”They never will if they feel so. “I can’t”never does anything worthwhile; but “I’ll try” accomplishes wonders. Let us remember that we will meet with difficulties all through life. They are in the pathway of everyone. If we will only try and keep trying, we will be sure to conquer and overcome every difficulty we meet. If we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we will be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. And if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overcome the hard things that we will meet in life when our schooldays are over.6. Time is a BankEach of us has a bank whose name is TIME. Every morning, TIME credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as loss, whatever of this you have failed to invest in good purposes. It carries over no balances. It allows no overdraft.Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.7. How to Learn English WellOf course, every student wants to study English well, but how?First we should know the importance of learning it. We’d better find out the obstacles we have in our studies and try to solve them as early as possible.Secondly, we must form good habits in our English studies and we can obtain better results in the following ways:1. We must plan our time carefully. Each day we set aside enough time to complete our normal reading and work assignments. Besides study we should have time for other activities.2. We should make good use of our time in class. While listening, we can also take notes. That means less work later.3. Study and review our lessons regularly. We should go over the important points in each lesson at least once a month.Lastly whenever we meet difficulties in our English studies, we should not lose heart but try to overcome them. And we can ask our teachers for advice. In doing so we would make great progress in our studies.8. The College ExperienceGoing to college! What a thrill! It’s a trip that has everything greatthat you have heard about if you make it so. It is also a very seriousbusiness. To a great extent, you will be on your own. True, there are an awful lot of people ready to help you, but generally you musttake the initiative and seek them out.Today’s world is full of precious knowledge, whether it be in thearts, literature, a profession, or a vocational skill. College is your chance of a lifetime to explore these areas. Each facet can be as exciting when discovered by you as it was when discovered by the original author or explorer. Let yourself explore beyond your immediate career objectives. A student in auto mechanics in most schools also can take courses in history, philosophy, music, or art. There is no reason a craftsman can’t also be a great thinker, or an explorer in the vast areas of unlimited knowledge. For a rich full life he or she should make the most of the opportunities at hand. Going to college means a lot more than earning a grade. To limit your college experience will be a waste to you and to all of people, past and present, who have invested their pennies, dimes and dollars —often at great personal sacrifice —to make educational opportunities open for you. Putting it bluntly, college is a place to be greedy —take all you can get and then some more. Thus, as you stand on the threshold of your college career, commit yourself and stand by that commitment. From the first day of class, discipline yourself to make learning fun, not a chore, and to get the most from the educational opportunities open to you.9. On ReadingReading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. As by the one,health is preserved, strengthened, and invigorated; by the other,virtue, which is the health of the mind, is kept alive, cherished and confirmed. But exercise becomes tedious and painful, when wemake use of it only as the means of health, so reading is apt to grow uneasy and burdensome when we apply ourselves to it for our improvement in virtue. For this reason, the virtue which we gather from a fable or an allegory is like the health we get by hunting; as we are engaged in an agreeable pursuit that draws us on with pleasure, and makes us insensible of the fatigues that accompany it.10. FriendsFriends are important. It has often been said that “No man can live like an island.”As our population increases in size, this is becoming increasingly true. A person will have trouble coping with society without friends.Friends should not be confused with acquaintances. Acquaintances are people whom you may see often. But, you could never share joy and sadness with an acquaintance. Acquaintances are usually with you for what they can get. Maybe, they like to be with you because you are popular. People usually have few friends and many acquaintances.Friends are always there when you need them. They are dependable and responsible. They share your sorrow and happiness. They are not interested in what they can get from you. They influence your development, maturity and sense of responsibility. They also warn you when you are in danger of doing wrong. Yes, friends are wonderful. It is nice to enjoy the warmth radiating from good friends.11. Don’t Seek PraiseIt is quite easy to get approval if we ask enough people, or if we askthose who are likely to tell us what we want to hear. The likelihoodis that they will say nice things rather than be too critical. Also, we tend to edit out the bad so that we hear only what we want to hear.So if you have produced a pleasantly acceptable piece of work, you will have proved to yourself that it’s good simply because others have said so. It’s probably OK. But then it’s probably not great, either.If, instead of seeking approval, you ask, “What’s wrong with it? How can I make it better?”, you are more likely to get a truthful, critical answer. You may even get an improvement on your idea. And you are still in a position to reject the criticism if you think it is wrong.12. Don’t Cover Your IdeasGive away everything you know, and more will come back to you. You will remember from school other students preventing you from seeing their answers by placing their arms around their exercise books or exam paper. It is the same at work, and people are secretive with ideas. “Don’t tell them because they’ll take credit for it.”The problem with hoarding is that you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you’ll become stale.If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you.Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership. They’re not your ideas anyway: they’re someone else’s. They are out there floating by on the ether. You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.13. Don’t Escape from ProblemsSome people who find themselves unable to solve a problem reactby just giving up. But it is not good to escape from problems bygiving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you aregoing through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if you can “put your finger”on the cause of your unhappiness.In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particularproblem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.14. ImaginationImagination is a world in which everybody enjoys the greatest freedom. You may imagine anything you like and keep it a secret. But some people are quite ready to share their interesting imagination with others.Imagination is a distorted reflection of reality and our wish. In ancient times when people knew very little about nature, imagination often involved gods. With the increase of knowledge, our imagination is generally more scientific.Imagination is not quite so absurd as some people may think. In fact, if man limited his mind to what he knows in reality, he could never learn anything new.15. SunlightIt is cold, so cold. The frost has the earth in its grasp, and the trees stand stiff in their coats of rime. We shiver, and think, will Winter never end?Take heart, for the earth is just sleeping and renewing its strength. Soon it will awaken, the green shoots will start to appear, and the sun will gradually gain strength and warmth. Just like life, in fact.From time to time we all need a period of rest in which to think and restore our jaded spirits, a peaceful interlude to reflect, to plan, and give ourselves strength for the days ahead. Keep that thought in mind, and today’s cold and frost will surely be full of hope for the future.16. Think PositivelyIf you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then just never, never, never give up.The secret of life isn’t what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.Help other people to cope with their problems and your own will be easier to cope with.Never use the word “impossible”seriously again. Toss it into the verbal wastebasket.Self-confidence is the first secret of success. So believe yourself! Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have.Joy increases as you give it and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate more joy than you ever believed possible.How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself, so always think positively.Plunge head first into life; give it all you’ve got. And life will give all it has to you.17. Natural BeautyNatural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is itstemple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It wavesin the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depth of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shelland the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun —all overflow with beauty.The power to appreciate beauty not only increases our sources of happiness —it enlarges our moral nature. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the field or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness.18. Sand and StoneThe story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.”The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?”The other friend replied, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away; but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your blessing in stone.。

B1U1_colleglife-Transcript(textbook)大学英语视听说教程第三版听力原文

----Lesson 1 Audio 1ObamaThat's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something thatyou're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paperthat's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enoughto come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until youdo your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, alawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one ofthose careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train forit and work for it and learn for it.----Lesson 1 Audio 2Intro to Yale college and graduate schoolYale College, the undergraduate school, is the heart of the University. It’ s beenfor setting the standard educating American leaders for over three centuries.One of Yale ’most distinctive assets is itsresidential college system, 12 colleges are diverse,yet intimate communities of 400 students,providing all of the benefits of a small college along with the resources of a great research university.Each college has its own dining hall, library, gymnasium, and multi-purpose rooms, which students usefor everything from theatrical productions and concerts to publishing newspapers. The colleges also offerseminars, host speakers, organize social events, sponsor sporting teams and provide tutoring. Theresidential college system ensures students at Yale have a support structure that fostersrelationships that will last a lifetime.Yales’Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the first school to award PhD in the united States, offersprograms leading to PhD and M aster ’degrees,s and is known for its academic excellence, extraordinaryresources, and world-class faculty. Today more than one third of its students come from abroad. Every PhDstudent in the school pays no tuition and receives the generous annual stipend for living expenses.----Lesson 1 VideoStudent report –join a clubStarting a university career can be an intimidating event for some people. Making new connectionsisn ’ t always easy. One of the best ways to meet people is to join a club. At CJLO, the universi ty ’ s radio station, people volunteer as radio DJs, news readers or technicians.(Brian Joseph) “ When I first started, it was a smaller group, it was very tigh t in , and just over a year, I’ ve justsee expand, and more people join. More people come with friends and friends and network,and just this huge family, and it’ s just a really great thing to see.”Cassandra Keating moved to Montreal from Saskatoon to study journalism.“ So it ’ s still a process. I’ m still getting usedbeingtothebackcity inandschool.v”There are many types of clubs that Concordia students can join. Many of them are registered with the Concordia Student Union.(Heather Lucas) “ The best way to get involved is by checking out the mezzanine, usually a lot clubs and associations are tabling,so they have a presentation of all their events,all the things that are happening. I t ’asgood way to get plugged. It’ s very casjustal. comeYou up to them and you say what are your events, what are you about,what do you do at Concordia?”Some groups like HILLEL also know how to throw a party.(David Adelman)First“ of all, I make really fun parties. So we make parties, I get to have fun. I ring my friends and after a while a lot of my friends are having so much fun, they actually join HILLEL, too.”And a new club has recently been formed, the Shotokan Karate club. It ’as kind of karate that combines basics, patterns of moves and sparring.(Melarie Taylor) “ The students are self-motivated. If they’ vesigned up for the class and they decidedto stay, then they like the high-energy demand, and they like the vibes of the class and people training.”(Jean-Philippe) “Karate has to be friendly.That ’ours motto.We are friendly with people, we don ’ t look for⋯ we donwant’anyt tension between people. So, that leads to, naturally, to friendship.”Now while we only got to touch on a few clubs here at Concordia, there is a whole wealth of information on the dean of student website at Concordia. ca.And as far as my karate belt is concerned, sensei told me to start with the basics of bowing.“ Wonderful! ”“ How was that? ”Not bad for my first try, but it may take me a little longer to get the rest.I ’ m Michel Boyer, forNow Concordia.----Lesson 2Audio 1College planningWell, everybody ’ s experience is very different. There are a few guidelines you can follow for each ofyour four years. Freshman year, don ’worryt too much about your career plans. Try lots of activities, getyour feet wet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is youmost enjoy.Sophomore year is the time to narrow down your academic focus and decide on a college major.You also want to narrow your options in terms of your extracurricular activities to focus on yourbiggest commitments. And finally I recommend getting a professional internship the summerbetween your sophomore and junior years to start having professional experience you’ ll be a to list on a résumé.Junior year is a time to take on leadership positions in the extra curricular activities that you’ ve chosen. It’ s also really important to get your GPA above a 3.0 because that-off for many’ s the cut employers to give you a job. And finally if you haven’ t done an internship already, it’have at least one on your résuméby the end of your junior year.During your senior year, your goal should be to find a balance among the leadership positionsyou ’ vetaken on in your extracurricular activities, keeping up your grade point average in yourcollege major and focusing on the job search for a position after graduation.Cambridge OrientationSo what does Cambridge have to offer you? Top rated teaching by top-rated lecturers. You are often being taught by the person who wrote the textbook that you are studying from. You are not just being lectured by them. We have a system called supervisions here, which is small group, oftentimes one-on-one teaching. With these people who are world experts in their field, it ’yours chance to discuss your ideas with them. It may be that you have really really strong opinions, and you want toget that across and to have that chance to discuss it with somebody who is the leading expert of the field. It might sound quite daunting, but it ’ ewardingsvey experiences. It ’sone of the best things of beinga Cambridge.Our courses roughly fall into arts, sciences and social sciences, but each course is very individual. You need to make sure that you are studying the right subjects that provide the factive preparation for that course. They are traditional courses, and that the reason’ swhy you need to make sure you are doing the right subjects for them. So make sure that you check in the perspectives or on the websites. All of the courses start very broadly, and then they narrow in focus. So in you first year, you do a bit of everything, you get a good grounding and everything for you to choose where you want to focus. Itmeans that you can make that decision with good knowledge and a good grounding in your subject asa whole.The future of digital education30 years ago, students did all their learning inside of a classroom and got all of their information fromencyclopedias, libraries, and dictionaries. Today, students can download an E-book in less than a minute,search for anything in seconds, and find any topic on Wikipedia instantly. Technology isopening up the world of education. But there is a problem. Today, in the US, a student drop out of highschool in every 26 seconds. 30% students in the US fail out of high school, and of US college students 46%will not graduate.Currently, education is a one-size-fits-all model. Visual learners, audio learners and hands-on learnersare required to learn in ways that don ’t always best fit their needs. We need a system that adapts toour students, not the other way around. Today, technology allows for a customizable system that canbe tailored to individual students. In what used to be a world confined to a classroom, students arenow able to learn anywhere, whether that ’sat home, at the local coffee shop, half way around theworld, or anywhere that suits their needs.With the future of digital education, we can also expect more blended learning with courses thatincorporate online teaching into a classroom environment. There will be more textbooks available indigital formats. In fact, it’sestimated that by 2016, 30% of textbooks will be bought in a digital format,and there will be more collaboration between people from many parts of the world. US collegeseducate 19 million students every year, and 96% of those universities offer at least one online class.The future of digital education is now. And we have been doing it online since the mid-80s, withmore than 415 online classes and 18 full degrees.专业资料学习资料教育培训考试建筑装潢资料。

Homeschooling now provides education for an increasing number of American children and the trend is growing rapidly. Some public school educators agree that the current model for public schools needs to be changed, and they themselves have begun to create alternative schools, experimenting with class size, grouping, schedules, and curriculum. Perhaps most dramatic, these alternatives to traditional public or private schools are transforming the roles of the teachers and the students, giving students much more power to decide what they want to learn.What is your ideal school? Name your school, and choose your school colors and decide on your school motto, etc. You may include the following points in your description.。

These are also called discussion questions, because the student is expected to discuss a topic and provide facts, reasons, examples, etc. to support the answer, with the grade depending mainly on how well the answer is supported not just on the student’s opinion.When students finish college, they have mastered quite a lot of information, but not as much as they may think they have. Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information. When they move forward to their careers, they will quickly discover how much they still have to learn. College can only set the stage for their future learning. There is no way it can give them all theinformation they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly. A good teacher like the one in the story should make this clear to the students in a memorable way that they can take with them after graduation. This is why graduation is sometimes called “commencement”.Y our interaction with other people is an integral part of your college life in the United States.T o make the most of it, get ready to introduce yourself in a positive way to fellow students, professors, and other people both on- and off-campus.One of your first introductions to social life on a U.S. campus will most likely be "The International Student Orientation Program." Traditionally coordinated by the Admissions Office or the Office of International Programs. Orientation varies greatly from school to school, though the objectives are similar: to introduce the new non-U.S. students to each other, and to prepare you for campus life. Many times, topics include immigration, academic advisors, computer and library resources, telephone services, public safety, medical services, banking options and department store shuttles so students can purchase items they need. During orientation, students often learn of upcoming activities such as trips to local points of attraction.U.S. college and university campuses abound with activities designed to foster friendships. Many schools designate a "Student Activities Center" where you may learn of different options,such as student government, the newspaper staff, outdoor club, chorus, dance, and a number of athletic teams. Explore which ones may suit you best! One international student describe his experiences: "I've made some great American friends on- and off-campus, as well as friends from all over the world; they have taught me a lot. For example, last December, some American friends invited me out into the woods to help cut down their Christmas tree -- I had never done anything like that before!" "When I meet new people, they're always interested to know what it's really like in Jamaica. That has made me think about my own country, so I could share more information with them. If I never left home, I would not need to consider these things. So in many ways, a U.S. education means much more than sitting in a classroom and studying for a degree."Education in the United States and Canada is divided into the following levels at the indicated ages.Pre-school ages 2 - 6Elementary School ages 6 - 12Junior High Schoolages 12 - 14High School ages 14 - 18Junior College ages 18 - 204 Y ear College ages 18 - 22Graduate School ages (MA) 22 - 24Graduate School ages (PH.D.) 22 - 26/8Post Graduate after PH.D.Grading Systems in the U. S.Most colleges use letter grades like A, B, C, D, F, and some use plus or minus like B- or C+. To compute students’averages they say A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0 to graduate. Grades ofF must be repeated to get credit. Most students take 5 or occasionally6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate. A few colleges use numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely A=90,B=80, C=70, D=60, but this may be up to the professor. In the US, it’s common for a student to change the area of his or her study. It is common even to enroll in a different school. Credits usually transfer between universities. However, changing majors or school will likely set back the graduation date.American university students are often called upon to present a topic to their fellow students in class. T o make a presentation impressive, students often need to do research, gathere relevant information or collect some data on a certain assigned or chosen topic. T o illustrate the presentation visually, students apply pictures,maps,charts and other visual aids to reinforcetheir main points. Students attach importance to the assigned oral presentation since they may be graded on their performance.An Analysis of College Enrollment Expansion 中国的大学扩招The table and the line graphs show the number of students enrolled by first-category universities, second-category universities, and third-category universities from 1997 to 2005. From 1997 to 1999, the enrollment of first-category universities increased steadily from 420,000 to 630,000 and the corresponding (对应的) blue curve reached its peak of 700,000 in 2000. However, since 2001, there was a drop in the curve and it begins to level off (稳定下来). There are certain similarities between the curve of first-category universities and that of second-category universities --- both increased rapidly from 1997 to 2000, but the pink curve rose drastically, reflecting the admission/(be admitted to )number skyrocketing from 550,000 to 1,200,000 in that period. However, from 2000, the increase rate slowed down, and there is the least difference in the number of enrollees between 2004 and 2005, and the trend continues throughout the curve. With the introduction of third-category universities in 2003, the yellow curve shows a sharp rise from 1,050,000 in 2003 to 1,400,000 in 2005, and this trend is likely to continue. In order to provide educational opportunities for more high school graduates,authorities decided to expand college enrollment. However, some unexpected problems arose. As the number of enrollees climbed rapidly, universities could not provide enough accommodations (住宿), sufficient education facilities or qualified teachers. Therefore, parents, students and teachers complained that campuses became overcrowded and there was a decline in teaching quality. From 2001, in order to ensure quality education, the number of students enrolled by first-category universities dropped gradually; meanwhile, the increasing enrollment rate of second-category universities began to slow down and level off. In 2003, many third-category universities were established in order to satisfy people’s needs for diversified (多种多样的) higher education. Up till now, much progress has been made to balance and reform the structure of higher education. However, we must remember that it is only the first step in the right direction. Let’s continue to contribute our efforts and ideas. T o provide best higher education for eligible (合适的，合格的) high school graduates and all college students, we still have a long way to go.Distance EducationDistance Education is instructional delivery that does not constrain the student to be physically present in the same location as the instructor. Historically, Distance Education meant correspondencestudy. Today, audio, video, and computer technologies are more common delivery modes. Every form of learning favors a certain set of skills. Online-learning enrollments are growing 33 percent a year and are expected to hit 2.2 million by 2004, according to International Data Corp. It is certainly true that life online is inescapable. Colleges that have invested a great deal in online learning have often discovered that the extra work for the teachers has been more than they expected, and so have some of the financial costs thus far. However, online education is quite new, and in the future the author’s optimistic predictions may all come tr ue.The author says online education is cheaper and more convenient than classroom-based learning. Time and money are saved on travel, classroom space, books, etc. Almost anyone can take almost any class whenever they wish. Access to much information and to teachers or classmates is quick and easy. All students can benefit, and some students could not take classes any other way. The increase of online education is certain to occur, and the author clearly feels that this is a very good thing. A certificate offers a shorter course of study than a degree. Certificates can serve as steppingstones to a degree. A certificate typically requires at least 12 semester credits of coursework. With program faculty approval, credits completed in a certificate program may be used in a degree program. Studying yearsat a college or university, known as undergraduate education, will generally lead to the Bachelor's Degree. This is the degree a student gets after he studies beyond the 4 years of college. The MBA, or Master of Business Administration, is an extremely popular degree that usually takes two years. Some Master's programs, such as journalism, only take one year. In such fields as history and philosophy, these degrees are considered stepping-stones toward a doctorate (Ph.D.). In the USA there are a number of state and federal laws that protect the equal rights of handicapped and disabled persons to education, employment, housing, etc. For example, classrooms and offices must be accessible to people with wheelchairs or crutches, so most of them have special ramps and elevators for this purpose.How to Keep on Good T erms with Roommates?如何与同学相处过好大学生活For most freshmen, university dorm life is a “fresh”experience. However, students from all corners of the country may soon find, apart from accents, they have to face a lot of other differences. For example, early birds(早起的人) and night owls(夜猫子) disturb each other. For another example, lazybones who do little cleaning may “pollute”the room with smelly socks. What’s more, while one is used to living in a quiet atmosphere (环境), his roommates happen tobe chatterboxes, talking over the phone for hours. The list of “conflicts”(冲突) could go on and on.It is very essential for roommates to keep on good terms. Harmonious surroundings will help them make academic progress, foster/improve friendship and develop communication/communicative skills. In a certain sense, a dorm flat is their “second home”, the roommates today may become colleagues and lifelong friends tomorrow. If they could not get along well throughout the four years, how could they work and study effectively? Then how could flat-mates get along well?Here are some tips. First and foremost, respect each other. Secondly, be tolerant. Never lose temper when you are offended, and try to talk frankly when disagreements arise. Thirdly, be considerate of others. Why not walk on tiptoe at nap time? Why not help roommates get clothes back before rainfall? Last but not least, set some effective rules and follow them consciously. If roommates follow these pieces of advice, years later, the dorm life will be a cherished and unforgettable part of college life.Difficult language points:1.The film is scary (scaring)—it’s a horror filmHe gets scared at the sight of such a big snake.2.give me a hand in the work—do me a favor in the work---help meCan I ask a favor of you?
