It suits you very well.Oh, thank you.Dialogue 3:Do you read many novels?Yes. I suppose I've read about four novels this year.I see. And what was the last novel you read?Let me see.

I was in the middle of swimming when I saw the shark.What happened?I started swimming for the shore, of course.B.Hotel EnglishCan I have breakfast in my room?Certainly, madam. Breakfast is served in your room from 7 o'clock until 10. Here is the menu.Thank you. (looks at the menu) I'd like to have the Continental Breakfast.Yes, madam. And at what time would you like it?About half past eight, I think.8:30. Very good, madam. And what kind of fruit juice would you like? We have pineapple, orange, grapefruit...I think I'd like the pineapple please.Pineapple juice. And would you prefer tea or coffee?Coffee please.Thank you very much. Goodnight.

We had a boat there. I was there with some friends and I decided to swim to a little island. It didn't look far and I started swimming ... but half wayacross I realised it was a lot further than I thought. I was getting very tired. I shouted. Luckily my friends heard me and brought the boat. I thought I was going to drown. I've never been more frightened in my life.B.Forum.Should school children take part-time jobs?This is a discussion which will appear in a magazine.This month our panel looks at part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or not?Definitely not. The children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired they fal1 asleep in class.I agree. I know school hours are short, but there's homework as well. And children need a lot of sleep.Young children perhaps, but some boys stay at school until they're eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can't harm them. In fact, it's good for them. They earn their pocket-money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outside school.You're absolutely right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn't forget that some families need the extra money. If the pupils didn't take part-time jobs they couldn't stay at school.Well, we seem to be equally divided: two for, and two against. What do our readers think?Section 3 Spot Dictation.Spot Dictation 1:Philip Andrew is 16 and he is about to leave school.He comes to me for advice every week.He is looking for an interesting job and he would like good wages.One of his friends works in a supermarket.Another friend works in a factory.Philip thinks supermarket jobs are not well paid.And factory jobs are boring.Spot Dictation 2:And finally, some news from the United States.David Thomas, the Californian pop singer, is sixteen today and he is giving a party for sixty guests.His young friends have bought him a Rolls-Royce, the most expensive one they could find.David is famous because he is the fastest driver and the youngest pop star in the state of California.He is flying to Paris tomorrow.。

listen to this:初级英语听力 11课Woman: So you have a half day, a full day and a day and evening tour of London?Man: That's correct.Woman: Well, as we're only here for a few days, I think perhaps we should take the full day and evening tour. Give my children the opportunity to see everything.Man: Won't that be a bit tiring for them?Woman: Yes, you're right. It's probably better if wedon't include them on the evening part of the program.Man: Not the theatre and the dinner entertainment?Woman: Yes, that's what I mean. The hotel will take care of them.Man: Yes, I'm sure that can be arranged.Woman: Now, can you tell me what the cost will be?Man: For the full tour? Seventy pounds per head.Woman: So that would be 140 pounds for myself and my husband. What about the children, is there any reduction for them?Man: Certainly, we have half price for children and if they're not going to the theatre or the dinner, I think we could let them have the full day tour for thirty pounds each.Woman: That's fine. Could you tell me more details of the tour? I mean, what will we be actually seeing and so forth?Man: Well, here's a brochure for you to read, but I can quickly run through the main items of the tour with you. Now, as you see, you're picked up from your hotel at 8:30, so you must be sure to order an early breakfast.Woman: Yes ...Man: Then you're taken to see the Changing of the Guard and you'll see Buckingham Palace at the same time of course. After that you'll be taken down Whitehall to see the House of Parliament, Big Ben, you know the famous clock, and nearby Westminster Abbey. Now from there we have a river trip down the Thames towards the Tower of London. During the river trip you'll be provided with sandwiches and coffee, orange juice for the kiddies. When you get to the Tower, you'll see the Beefeaters, the traditional guards of the Tower and thenyou'll be shown the Crown jewels.Woman: And will we have a guide during all this?Man: Of course. There's an official guide who will explain the sights to you and give a short account of their historic associations in three languages, English, German and French. If you have any further questions he'll be only too pleased to answer them.Woman: Oh, that sounds perfect.Man: Now in the afternoon, you'll be taken to London Zoo for a couple of hours. We try to arrange this to coincidewith the monkeys' tea party. The children always enjoy that.Woman: Oh, I'm sure mine will.Man: And from there we just go round the corner to Madame Tussaud's to see the waxworks and after that rightnext door to the London Planetarium where you'll see thestars simulated by laser beams.Woman: That sounds very exciting. What a full day.Man: Yes, well we do let you have a couple of hours'rest before taking you on to the theatre and dinner in the evening.Woman: Oh, that's good. I'll be able to get the children off to bed or settled down watching television or something. Well, that sounds marvellous. Thank you very much.Man: Not at all. Er ... there is just one thing, madam.Woman: Oh, what's that?Man: The cheque.Woman: (laughs) Of course.I have always been interested in making things. When Iwas a child I used to enjoy painting, but I also liked making things out of clay. I managed to win a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That is probably the reasonthat I managed to get into art college four years later. ButI studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being apotter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay;I enjoy working on a potter's wheel. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced things. I think crafts and craftspeople are very important. When I left college I managed to get a grant from the Council, and I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workshopis small, but I hope to move to a larger one next year.Mr. Hanson: Could I have my bill, please?Waitress: Yes, sir. One moment, please.(She brings the bill and the customer looks at it carefully.)Mr. Hanson: Could you kindly explain this to me? What is item 6?Waitress: Perhaps I cou1d go through it for you. Thefirst item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer. Thenyour starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 4.50 not 3.50, so item 6 is the difference.Mr. Hanson: Oh, I see. But how was I expected to know that?Waitress: Yes, sir. They are a bit hard to follow sometimes. Number 8 is your dessert and number 9 the cigarettes. Oh, and number 7 is your second beer.Mr. Hanson: And what about the service, is that included?Waitress: Yes, that's marked down here, 10 per cent service.Mr. Hanson: Good. Thank you. Now, can you take my credit card?Waitress: I'm afraid we don't accept credit cards.Mr. Hanson: Oh dear. What about a cheque with a banker's card?Waitress: Yes, sir. That will be all right.Customer: Can you bring me the bill, please?Waiter: Certainly, sir.(He brings the bill.)Customer: I think there has been a mistake.Waiter: I'm sorry, sir. What seems to be the trouble?Customer: I think you have charged me twice for the same thing.Look, the figure of 5.50 appears here and then again here.Waiter: I'll just go and check it for you, sir.(He returns a few minutes later.)Waiter: Yes sir, you are quite right. The cashier made a mistake. I think you will find it correct now.Customer: Thank you.Waiter: We do apologize about this, sir.Customer: That's all right. No harm done. Now, can I pay by traveler's cheques?Waiter: Certainly, sir. We'll give you the change in local currency if that's all right.Customer: You needn't worry about that. There won't be much change out of twenty-five dollars.Waiter: Thank you, sir. That's most kind of you.—Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.—Shh, don't do too loud. Everyone will want one.—Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.—There is a spider on the bread. It'll catch it.—What's this fly doing in my soup?—I think it's doing the backstroke, sir.—There is a dead fly swimming in my soup!—That's impossible. A dead fly can't swim.—There is a dead fly in my soup.—Yes, sir. It's the hot liquid that kills them.—Waiter, there is a fly in my soup.—Yes, sir. We give extra meat rations on Fridays.—Waiter, there is a fly in my soup.—Don't worry, sir. There is no extra charge.A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn't stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him.The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn't understand a word. The bus stopped at the nextbus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, "I think he's a foreigner."When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident."How many times did you ring the bell?" she asked."Twice," said Henri."Well, that's the signal for the driver to go on," his landlady explained. "Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice. That's why he got so annoyed."Henri nodded. "I see," he said.(A and B are a married couple. C is a travel agent.)C: Good morning.A and B: Good morning.C: Can I help you?A: Yes, we're thinking of going on holiday somewhere, but we're not sure where.C: I see. What sort of holiday did you have in mind?A: Lots of sunbathing.B: (at the same time) Lots of walking.C: Mm. (looking puzzled) So you'd like somewhere warm?B: Not too warm.A: Yes, as sunny as possible.C: And are you interested in the night-life at all?A: Yes. It'd be nice if there were some good discos and clubs we could go to.B: Oh, no! Surely that's what we're trying to get away from!A: What do you mean? We never go out at all, so how could we get away from it?B: Well, what's the point of going somewhere where there are lots of people just like here?C: (interrupting) Could I just ask what sort of price you want to pay?B: As cheap as possible.A: What do you mean? We want a top hotel.B: But we can't afford it.A: Of course, we can. We've been saving up all year.(Their voices rise as they argue. The travel agent looks bemused.)C: Just a minute, please. I think I can make a suggestion. Why don't you try the South of France? Then one of you can go to the beach and the other can walk in the mountains.A: That sounds like a good idea. And there are some good hotels there.B: No—there are too many English people there!A: Well, then at least we'd have someone to talk to.B: But, there's no point in going abroad to meet English people there!C: (interrupting again) Excuse me.A and B: Yes?C: Well, my wife and I have the same trouble as you. I like hot, lively places and she prefers a bit of peace and quiet and we always disagree about how much to spend. We usually split up and go to different places, but this yearI've got a better idea.A and B: What's that?C: Well, I could go on holiday with you (indicates one of them) and you could go with my wife.A: That's an interesting idea.B: I'm not so sure ...C: Look, why don't you come round now and meet my wife and we can see what we can arrange ...The scene is at an airport. A man and a woman carrying several cases approach a customs officer (C.O.).Man: (whispering) Don't worry. Everything will be all right.Woman: I hope you know what you're doing!(They put their bags down in front of the customs officer.)C.O.: Good morning, sir, madam. Just returning from a holiday, are you?Woman: That's right.C.O.: And how long have you been abroad?Woman: Two weeks.Man: Yes, not very long. Not long enough to buy anything anyway. (laughing)C.O.: I see. Have you got anything to declare?Man: I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean.Woman: Harry!C.O.: Come on, sir. I'm sure you know what I mean. Have you got anything to declare?Man: Well ... yes. I would like to declare that I love my wife.Woman: Oh, Harry. You've never said that before.Man: Well, it's true! It's just that I've never been able to tell you before.Woman: And I love you too!C.O.: (clearing throat) I'm sorry to interrupt, but I must ask you whether you have any goods to declare.Man: Ah, well I do have a record-player, a fridge and something for my wife's birthday that I'd rather not tell you about.Woman: Harry! And I thought you'd forgotten again!Man: Of course not, dear!C.O.: (annoyed) What I want to know, sir, is whether you have any goods in that bag that I should know about.Man: Well, let's have a look. (opens bag) We've got some bars of soap, a tube of toothpaste, clothes, a jar ofcream ...C.O.: (angry) I only want to know if you have anything liable for tax, like cigarettes, perfumes or bottles of anything.Man: Well, we do have a bottle of shampoo.C.O.: Okay. I've had enough. You can go.Man: You mean that's it?C.O.: Please go away!Woman: Come on, Harry. He just told us we could go.(Takes hold of the suitcase and the contents spill out.)C.O.: Just a minute. May I see that jewellery, please?Man: Oh, my God! You great clumsy idiot!Woman: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.Man: You never do anything right. I don't know why I married you in the first place!Woman: But Harry! You just said you loved me.Man: Not any more.C.O.: And now what have you got to declare, sir?Sam Lewis was a customs officer. He used to work in a small border town. It wasn't a busy town and there wasn't much work. The road was usually very quiet and there weren't many travelers. It wasn't a very interesting job, but Sam liked an easy life. About once a week, he used to meet an old man. His name was Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but he never found anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and said, "I'm a smuggler."Last year Sam retired. He spent his savings on an expensive holiday. He flew to Bermuda, and stayed in a luxury hotel. One day, he was sitting by the pool and opposite himhe saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam walked over to him.Sam: Hello, there!Draper: Hi!Sam: Do you remember me?Draper: Yes ... of course I do. You're a customs officer.Sam: I used to be, but I'm not any more. I retired last month. I often used to search your truck ...Draper: ... but you never found anything!Sam: No, I didn't. Can I ask you something?Draper: Of course, you can.Sam: Were you a smuggler?Draper: Of course I was.Sam: But ... the truck was always empty. What were you smuggling?Draper: Trucks!The first thing they do is to put out an APB and thisgoes to all the police stations in the country. Next wecontact the hospitals. Often the person we are looking forhas been in an accident. Then we might try parents, friendsor relatives they might be with. We try to follow their movements and to find the last person they saw or were with. Then we try the media. We put photographs in local ornational papers—especially papers they might read. There are other things we can do: put posters in places they might be, go on television. Here in America there is a magazine inwhich there are photographs of missing children. This isoften the last hope. Of course, with nearly two million missing children every year, we can't do all these things for everyone. We haven't got the time, the money or the staff.Are you a morning person or an evening person? That's the question. When do you work best? For me the answer is easy. I work best in the morning. All my creative work is done before lunchtime. I get up at about eight, and then have breakfast.I listen to the radio a bit, and read the papers. And I start. Usually I work from nine or nine thirty until twelve butafter that I'm useless. On a good day I write fifteen hundred words or more, sometimes two thousand words, in the morning. Then after lunch I go for a walk, or read. In the evening Ilike to relax, go to the pub or go out and meet people. Ifyou're a writer you need self-discipline. But if you're tired, it shows: the mind and body must be fresh.1. Add two and four; eight and ten; fourteen and seven.2. Subtract six from eighteen; four from eleven; fivefrom nineteen.3. Multiply two by eight; five by three; six by four.4. Divide six by three; eight by two; twenty by five.1. I'll take a commission of ten per cent.2. The current rate of interest is twenty-three per cent.3. I only get three-eighths of the total.4. It's only a fraction of the cost, about a sixteenth.5. Divide nine by two and you get four point five.6. You only get two point four six per cent.1. I have to get a new pair of Jeans. Is thereanywhere ...? Do you know a, a good shop where I can get a pair?2. Look, er, I want something interesting. All I've eaten since I've arrived here is junk food. I want some good local food. Where should I go and what shall I ask for?3. The car's giving problems again. I had it servicedlast week but it's as bad as it was before. I don't know what to do about it.4. Ooh, yes, I need your advice. The problem is that I have to go to this very formal dinner party next week and I haven't got a dinner suit here. I really don't want to buy one. What do you suggest?5. Ever since I've been here I had this stomach problem, you know. I mean, it's not serious. Well, I don't think it is.I mean, you often get these things when you travel. Must bethe different water or something. But it rea1ly is a nuisance and it seems to be getting worse ...6. Damn! I've lost my wallet!Man: Telegram, miss.Jean: Oh, thanks.Jean: I wonder who it's from. Oh, it's for Helen. Helen, there's a telegram for you.Helen: For me? Oh, Jean, will you open it? I hateopening telegrams.Jean: Do you? Why?Helen: Well, it's just that I think a telegram must mean bad news.Jean: I'm just the opposite. I love opening telegrams because I'm sure they must mean something exciting.Jean: Helen, you'd better sit down. You aren't going to believe this. It says, 'Congratulations, Nurse of the Year. Letter follows.'Helen: It can't be true.Jean: Here. You read it.Hello. This is Sophie Peter's ringing from the Brook Organization. Um, we got your job application and I'm ringing just to arrange an interview with you. How about Monday morning at, er, 11:30? Would that be all right? That's Monday morning of the 10th of August. Um, if you can't make that time, could you please give us a ring? The interviewwill be with myself and Brian Shaw, so we, um, we lookforward to seeing you then. Bye-bye."Henry!""Yes, dear?""I'm going up to bed now. Don't forget to do your little jobs.""No, dear."Henry turned off the television and went into the kitchen. He fed the cat, washed up several dishes, dried them and put them away. Then he put the cat out, locked all the doors and turned out all the lights. When he got to the bedroom, hiswife was sitting up in bed reading a book and eating chocolates."Well dear, have you done all your little jobs?""I think so, my love.""Have you fed the cat?""Yes, dear.""Have you put him out?""Yes, dear.""Have you washed up the dishes?""Yes, dear.""Have you put them all away?""Yes, dear.""Have you tidied the kitchen?""Yes, dear.""Have you turned out all the lights?""Yes, dear.""Have you locked the front door?""Yes, dear.""Then you can come to bed.""Thank you, dear."After a little while they heard a gate banging downstairs."Henry.""Yes, dear.""I'm afraid you've forgotten to shut the garden gate.""Oh dear! ..."—Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Lake Late Talk Show,with your host, Dickie Reeves. (applause)—Nice to be with you again, folks. And among the line of interesting guests I'll show you tonight is the lady you'veall been reading and hearing about recently. She is beautiful. She is clever. And she is brave. She is the lady who makes friends with monkeys. She is with us tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, the apewoman herself, Josephin Carter. (applause) Hello, Josephin, or can I call you Joe?—Please do.—The first question that I know everybody has been dying to ask you is, how long have you been living with monkeys?—Apes actually. Well, I've been studying apes for quitea long time, ever since I was at university. But I've only been actually living with them for five years.—Five years in the African jungle, with only monkeys to talk to.—Apes actually.—Oh, with only apes to talk to. That's fantastic! And I know you're going back to your monkey colony ...—Ape colony actually.—... to finish your work.—Oh, yes. I haven't finished it yet. Although I havebeen recording their behavior and watching their movementsvery closely, I still haven't finished my work. I've alsobeen training my husband to work with me.—Your husband?—Yes. He's come with me tonight. Let me introduce you to Tarsan!—Hi, everybody.。

Lesson ElevenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines.2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight.3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptTexas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel.' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.''This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?''Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy PeopleExpress and keep it running, rather than let it fail and lose all those jobs.'"'Mm hm. Now, if the deal is approved by the Department of Transportation, what is it likely to mean for consumers? If there's less competition the fares could possibly go up. "'Well, yes. You would think that when you move from two competitors in a market to just one airliner that prices would just have to go up. But I want you to keep in mind that unrestricted fares of the kind People Express offered, you know, wholesale unrestricted fares, were being eliminated and phased out anyway, because they were not profitable. And the Department of Transportation theory here is that if you allow mergers to take place, or many mergers to take place, you might create more efficiencies and low costs, leading possibly to lower fares. And also the Department of Transportation believes that there's a lot of potential competition in the marketplace. Airlines can move planes around and buy gates, and so that if an airline in a particular market segment was making a lot of money and raising prices excessively, other airlines would move in and prices would be brought down through competition. So that it's a nice theory, the theory of potential competition keeping prices in line, but it's sort of a new idea and it's not clear that that's really the way it would work.''Thanks.' From New York, NPR's Barbara Mantel.Section Three: Special ReportTapescript"My audiences have been very devoted over the years throughout the country. And they've expanded and grown and the country audience has been just as kind and as supportive as the folk audience has been.''I was thinking though, nonetheless, when I put on this album, 'The Last of the True Believers,' especially the title cut, that I heard more country there than I'd perhaps heard before.""Well, I guess it has .-.. I've moved in that direction, mainly because I am playing with the band more. My natural roots are there in country and hillbilly music. And so I think that that just comes out more when you put the band with it."I'I want to ask you some questions, please, about this album, about the ... not so much what's on the inside right now, but what‟s on the outside - a picture on the front of you in front of a Woolworth store, someplace, I guess, in Texas or Tennessee, and 'Houston, Texas.' In Houston, Texas? Is it the Woolworth store that has the hardwood floor still 'and the parakeets in the back and that sort of thing?'"Well, this one that we shot this in front of in Houston Texas is one of the largest ones in the country. It's a two-storey and it's got the escalator that does a little pinging noise every couple of minutes. And it takes up a whole city block.""But, why a cover photo in front of Woolworth's?''Well,, that comes from the song 'Love at the Five and Dime,' which was a song that Cathy Mattea also cut this year and had my first, you know, top five country hit with. And it deals with the Woolworth store.'"There is, on the cover, you are holding a book, and you can‟t really see. ... What is the name of the book on the cover you're holding?''In the Kindness of Strangers, the latest Tennessee Williams' biography.''And on the back is Larry McMurtrie's book about a cattle drive around the turn of the century, Lonesome Dove.'"He's my main prose hero.''Now, why? Why would you do that? Why would you pose with a book?'"Well, I have, my audience consists of a lot of young people between the ages of, maybe you know, fourteen and twenty-f'ive. And I read a lot, and I also write short stories and have written a novel. And I just feel like young people are missing out because they don't read books. And any time I have the opportunity to influence the young person to pick up a book and read it, I would try to do that.''When you hear these lyrics, when the words come to you, are you hearing the stanzas as poetry or as music?''Well, I'm hearing them as music. Lyrics usually come to me, and songs come to me as a total picture. And the music and the lyrics come at the same time. Sometimes they shoot me straight up in bed, you know, in the middle of the night. 'The Wing and the Wheel' is a very special song to me. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written. And that song was inspired at the Vancouver Folk Festival by two people who are from Managua, Nicaragua. They have a duo call Duo Guar Buranco. And just about four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting in my hotel room and listening to them sing in the room next door, and looking out the window at this little fingernail moon hanging out over the Vancouver Bay, and that song just came flowing, you know, and was inspired by those two people.''Now, that sounds easy.''Well, it IS easy. If you listen. to yourself and you listen to the inspiration that's bringing on that particular song, it's easy. It's just a matter of getting up and writing it down.' Nancy Griffith, talking with us in WPLN in Nashville. She is continuing her national tour with the Everly Brothers. Her latest album is called "The Last of the True Believers.'Lesson 12Section One: News in Brief1. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff is in Frankfurt, West Germany, on his way home from Moscow after being detained for a month on espionage charges. President Reagan in Kansas City on a campaign swing announced Daniloff‟s release, denying that any trade had been agreed to in order to win his freedom. Asked by reporters if he blinked in staring down Soviet leader Gorbachev over the Daniloff affair, the President said they blinked. The agreement to release Daniloff came after a three-hour meeting last night in New York between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. No details of the agreement have been released, and it is not known if Daniloff‟s freedom is the first step in a trade involving accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov. When he arrived in Frankfurt, Daniloff thanked President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz, and other US officials for “dotting all the i‟s and crossing the t‟s” that permitted him to be in Frankfurt tonight.2. The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon to override President Reagan‟s veto of a bill imposing economic sanctions against South Africa. NPR‟s Cokie Roberts reports that the President has promised to expand economic sanctions on his own in hopes of getting Congress tosustain his veto. “Both houses of Congress passed the economic sanctions against South Africa by wide enough margins to override a presidential veto. And it‟s expected the House will easily garner the two-thirds vote necessary for override. So it‟s in the Senate the President is concentrating his efforts. Today President Reagan sent a long letter to majority leader Robert Dole, restating his opposition to …punitive sanctions that harm the victims of apartheid. ‟ The letter went on to outline an executive order the President plans to sign which would impose some but not all of the sanctions passed by Congress. For example, there‟d be a ban on some new investments in South Africa, but not as many as called for by Congress. The President hopes the executive order will win over the fourteen additional senators he needs to sustain his veto. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today that Congress would simply come back next year with tougher sanctions if the veto is sustained. I‟m Cokie Roberts at the Capitol”Section Two: News in DetailAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff was freed today in Moscow. He flew into Frankfurt, West Germany this afternoon and spoke with reporters gathered at the airport.“It‟s wonderful to be back in the West. I think it‟s obvious to everybody what has happened over this last month. I was arrested without an arrest warrant. A case was fabricated against me with a narrow political purpose of giving the Soviet Union some political leverage over the case of Gennadi Zakharov in New York. The KGB did not punish me; the KGB punished itself. I cannot tell you anything about any other arrangements. All I know is that I am free in the West, very grateful, delighted to see you.” Nicholas Daniloff.When Daniloff left the Soviet Union today he had been detained there for thirty-one days, facing a possible trial on espionage charges. Daniloff left Moscow only hours after Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze met last night in New York in the latest of four negotiating sessions concerning the fate the American journalist. But so far no details have emerged about the arrangements that brought Daniloff his freedom. NPR‟s Mike Shuster has more from New York.Reporters in Moscow who had been staking out the American Embassy there first got wind this morning that Daniloff might be released, after he left the Embassy in a car and flashed the “V for Victory” sign. Apparently Daniloff was simply informed that he could leave, and his passport was returned to him. He was then taken to the airport along with his wife, and soon thereafter boarded a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, West Germany. The official American announcement of his release came from President Reagan mid-day today as he was campaigning in Kansas City, Missouri:“I have something of a news announcement I would like to make, that in case you have‟nt heard it already, that at twelve o‟clock, twelve o‟clock Central time, a Lufthansa Airliner, left Moscow bound for Frankfurt West Germany, and on board are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Daniloff!”So far though neither the White House nor the State Department has said anything about the specific agreements that ended the negotiations on Daniloff, and lacking any fuller explanation from the government, many questions remain. First, what will happen to the Russian scientist Gennadi Zakharov whose arrest last month in New York for spying led to Daniloff‟s detention? No date has been set for Zakharov‟s trial in Brooklyn, and a representative of the Justice Department in Brooklyn said today the US attorney there was waiting for instructions on the handling of Zakharov‟s case. There have been suggestions that Zakharov might be returned to the Soviet Union at a later date in exchange for one or more jailed Soviet dissidents. There is also thequestion of the American decision to expel twenty-five Soviet personnel from their Unite Nations Mission here. Several have already left New York and the deadline for the expulsion of the rest is Wednesday. The Soviets have threatened to retaliate if the order is not rescinded. There is no word whether the agreement that freed Daniloff includes anything on the twenty-five Soviets, which naturally leads to the final question: Has Daniloff‟s release today brought the United States and the Soviet Union any closer to a summit meeting? Secretary Shultz has said that a summit could not take place without Daniloff gaining his freedom. That has now been removed as an impediment to a summit, but the Soviets have called the Zakharov case and the matter of the twenty-five Soviets diplomats obstacles to a summit as well. Until the details are made public of the agreement Shultz and Shevardnadze worked out, it will not be known what the prospects for a summit truly are. This is Mike Shuster in New York.Section Three: Special ReportOne year ago this month, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City killed more than nine thousand people. Tens of thousands of people lost their jobs because of the massive damage. Among those hardest hit by the quake were women garment workers. Who worked in sweatshops concentrated in the heart of Mexico City. One year after the earthquake, Lucie Conger reports that some of the forty thousand seamstresses who lost their jobs are changing their attitudes about work.Lesson ThirteenSection One: News in BriefTape-script1. A special committee of twelve senators today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty were injured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is the fourth attack on a crowded public target in a week.A police officer was killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant on the Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed at curbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports from Paris.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for the current series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacks in the French capital over the past year. The Committee has delivered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue its bombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees to release three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of the convicted prisoners, George Abraham Abdullah, is believed to be the leader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US military attached in Paris in 1982. The French government has officially declared it will not release the prisoners. In response to the repeated attacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced new anti-terrorist measures: military patrols along the French borders will be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require a visa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market countries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. But Americans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at the nearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, however, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and other border checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at home and abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three French members of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanon have been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France, called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the role and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are also a major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, Associate Director of the French Institute for International Relations, says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and the hostage situation are all indirectly related. 'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that is to punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, either Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, at the same time, more visible than any other European actors, in Lebanon and in the Gulf.' According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting political asylum has made France more open and accessible to terrorist activities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, which was maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terrorist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visibility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal target of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President Francois Mitterand said, ' The fight against terrorism is the business of the entire nation.' But despite the government's determination to combat terrorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered.For National Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today released a report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies and counter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessmentof recent spy cases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dollars, threatening America's security, as never before. NPR's David Malthus has the story. The report states that the damage done from espionage and lax security is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknowledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilities have been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravely impaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in some areas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to adversaries. V ermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by this than by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet personnel, or breakthrough in weapon development." The Committee report says foreign intelligence services have penetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence, and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recent cases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the Soviets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in security and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludes that the administration has failed to follow through with enough specific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligence programs have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republican Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, sums up the current situation this way:'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies, too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too little effort given to combating the very real threat which spies represent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found some progress has been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel, and some additional resources have been devoted to countering technical espionage, but he said much more needs to be done and he described the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureaucratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recommendations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations of cleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more money for counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the military services, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile countries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Soviets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There are twenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representatives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in the United States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are professional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Soviet Union is effectively using United Nations organizations worldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eight hundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them in New York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or the Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Administration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report on counter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。

About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.“We’ll do better than that,” said my grandfather, “we’ll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.” So off they went.

He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his money, and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there.“You’ll never guess what happened to me today, dear,” he said.He waited for a few seconds and then a dded, “I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!”“That’s wonderful!”said his wife delightedly.

On her way she had to buy some food and stopped in one of the shops in the street. It was run by an Asian family, and although the prices there were a little higher than in the big supermarket further down the street, she did a lot of her shopping there. The vegetables were fresher and they had various thi ngs she couldn’t get elsewhere. Mr. Patel, the owner of the shop, was checking through a list, but smiled, as he always did, when he saw her come in.“How’s Mrs. Patel today?” she asked?“Oh, better. But only a little better, I’m afraid,” Mr. Patel sighed.“Well, I hope she gets out of hospital soon.”She picked up a wire basket and walked towards the back of the shop, where the rice was kept. The shop was divided by three long aisles, with rows of shelves crammed with all sorts of things. Except for her and Mr. Patel, there were only two other people there. They were two teenage boys,and they were standing at the end of one of the aisles. She glanced at them as she passed. They were both wearing long, old-fashioned overcoats and they looked rather ridiculous in them because the coats were too big. But such things were popular with some teenagers at the time. “Watch out, stupid,” she heard one of them whisper to the other. She walked on to the next aisle and found the rice she was looking for. Then she heard something else. It sounded like a tin dropping on the floor. She peered through a gap in the shelf and caught a glimpse of one of the boys bending down. She saw him pick up a tin of food. But instead of putting it in the shopping basket, he dropped it into the inside pocket of his long overcoat. Jennifer glanced back down the aisle. She could see Mr. Patel at the cash till, still checking through his list. Then she looked through the gap in the shelf again. The boys still had their backs to her. “Come on, let’s get out of here,” she heard one of them say. At the same time, she saw one of them put another tin in his overcoat pocket. They moved away from her. She could no longer see what they were doing or hear what they were saying.When she got to the till, the two boys were in front of her. She watched them pay for the few things they had in the basket. They had both buttoned their coats and fastened them with their belts. Mr. Patel did not seem suspicious at all. He even smiled at them as they were about to leave. Jennifer opened her mouth to say something.Task 6【原文】NUMBER 1: The jacketShopper: Excuse me.

It’s the most expensive model in the range and at 11,869 pounds. It is, I think, a little overpriced— you can buy the equivalent Volkswagen for almost 800 pounds less. But it’s a beautiful car and I’d been looking forward to driving it for a long time. Unfortunately, I had problems right from the start. The day I tested the car was one of the few sunny days we had this summer. So, naturally enough, I decided to open the sun-roof. But the handle was so stiff that it was almost impossible to move it. I did, eventually, get the sun-roof open but as it finally began to slide back it made the most awful noise. Noise, I’m afraid, is quite a feature of this car. The car’s interior seemed to be very badly insulated against engine noise, and with the sun-roof finally open the noise of the wind was very loud indeed.In general, the car was quite comfortable, but I didn’t really have enough leg room, and I found it difficult to adjust the wing mirrors to the position I wanted.The test car was, of course, brand new, but I did find quite a lot of small scratches and badly finished paintwork around the headlights and radiator grille. And the silver plastic strip which runs along each side of the car wasn’t properly fixed to the car body on the left hand side of the car I tested. So, quite a lot of irritating faults in a car you’re going to have to pay....Task 10【答案】1) It’s described as “buy now, pay later”.2) Selling their products and services.3) For centuries.4) One type is issued directly by a store to a customer; the other kind is issued by a credit company.5) The store credit card can be used to make purchases only at a particular store, whereas credit cards from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere.6) Because most credit companies are connected to large banks.7) Once a month.8)a) The customer can buy what he wants when he wants it. There is no need to save up money in advance.b) Having a credit card protects the owner. The owner doesn’t have to worry about losing the card.c) Credit cards can be used when something unexpected happens. This is important when you don’t have any cash with you.9) Customers tend to overspend.【原文】Many businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies, use a credit system for selling their products and services. In a credit system the seller agrees to sell something to the buyer without immediately receiving cash. The buyer receives the goods or services immediately and promises to pay for them later.This “buy-now-pay-later” credit system is quite old. People have been buying things on credit for centuries. But nowadays people use credit cards.There are two types of credit cards. One type is issued directly by a store to a customer. Many large department stores issue credit cards to their customers. The store credit card can be used to make purchases only at a particular store. For example, a credit card from Swan’s Department Store can be used only at Swan’s Department Store.The other kind of credit cards is issued by a credit company. VISA and American Express are examples of credit companies. Credit cards from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere. If you have a major credit card, you can buy air plane tickets, stay at hotels and eat at restaurants with it.Most large credit companies are connected to large banks. So if you want a credit card from a credit company, you generally have to make an application at a bank.After an applicant receives a credit card, he or she can make purchases using the card. The credit company sends the customer a statement of purchases at the end of each month. Generally the customer has to pay 25 to 50 percent of their credit bill every month. The customer pays directly to the credit company. And the credit company pays directly to the store, or hotel, or restaurant.There are some advantages and some disadvantages to using credit cards. The biggest advantage for the consumer is expressed by the phrase “buy now, pay later”. This means that the consumer can purchase what she wants when she wants it. There is no need to save up money in advance.Another advantage of having a credit card is that it protects the owner, if a credit card is lost or stolen, the owner only has to call the credit company and the credit company will stop the credit card number. No one else can use it. So the owner doesn’t have to worry about losing the card.Another advantage of the credit card system is that the consumer receives a record of her purchases. Every month the credit customer receives a bill. The bill has a list of all purchases from that month. This makes it easier to remember when and where purchases are made.And another advantage is that credit cards can be used when something unexpected happens. Many kinds of professional people— plumbers, taxi drivers, doctors and dentists — will accept credit cards in an emergency. This is very important if you don’t have any cash with you.Using credit cards has one major advantage. The main disadvantage is that consumers tend to overspend: they spend more than they make. If a consumer buys a lot of things on credit, she has to make large payments each month. Sometimes, it becomes impossible to keep up with the payments. The consume r’s life becomes more and more difficult. If the consumer can’t make her payments, her credit cards will be taken away. It will be very difficult for her to get another credit card in the future.So we can see that a credit buying system has some advantages and some disadvantages. On the one hand, it gives people some buying freedom; on the other hand, it tends to encourage over-spending.Task 11【答案】unproductive, stopped, mass markets, cheap, sell goods, inform, household goods, read, hardly possible, witty, revenue, small ads, community【原文】Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the Community Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. “It’s iniquitous,” they say, “that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big comp anies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.”The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriouslydoubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the “small ads”, which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column s; but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or agony column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!Task 12【答案】What Is Money?In the old days, most people did not need money. They could usually grow enough food. They could build a house, and they could even make their own clothes. They needed a few other things, but they could get them from other people. If they wanted a knife, for example, they could exchange some food, or other useful things, for one. People have used many things as “money” in different parts of the world. A lot of them are made of metal, because metal is useful. Gold is a beautiful metal, and it has become very valuable. A little gold can buy a lot of things, so people all over the world have often made coins out of gold. Very few coins are made of gold these days, however. Most money is just pieces of paper, but these pieces of paper are valuable because people will exchange all kinds of things for them.。

The furthest distance in the worldIs not struggling against the tides But using one's indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable riverFor the one who loves you.。
