Unit8Ⅰ.Lead in1.There is no definite answer to this question. Different cultures often require differentapproaches. In Western schools, especially in America, students often like to deal with bullying by themselves. As children, they may not want to talk it over with a teacher if they are bullied, for they do not like to be considered a tattletale or a chicken. In Asian countries, people seem to place more value on collectivism. Against this background, it is not surprising that when a pupil is bullied by a big guy, he may consider the class as a collective to depend on and thus tell the teacher in charge of the class all about it. However, in the context of the quickening globalization process, many Chinese students are beginning to choose to deal with problems on their own..2.To prevent burglaries, we must, first of all, lock doors and windows before going to bed. Butthis is often not enough. Many people are beginning to use iron doors and steel bars outside their windows; some people even install an alarm to scare off a possible burglar. If the alarm system is linked with the police, they can come to your rescue quickly. If the whole family goes on vacation, you should arrange for someone to pick up mails and newspapers delivered to your door. A heavy pile of mail suggests an empty house and is like a beacon for burglars.3.I don't think the death penalty can prevent crime altogether. Capital punishment has beenaround for thousands of years, but crime has never been stopped. Some people commit crimes because of their psychological problems. Others may weigh the material benefits against the risks involved, and thus decide to go ahead in spite of the risks. If potential criminals know a certain crime will cost them their heads, some of them may stop, but some others may commit more serious crimes to avoid getting caught. Thus, the security situation could get worse.4.Many factors contribute to crime, such as poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor, lackof education, emotional outbreaks and loose law enforcement. If one suddenly gets angry, he may lose control over himself and injure or even kill people. Uneducated people may not know what punishments there are and go ahead boldly and foolishly. But lack of education is often linked with a lack of money. Poor people may feel miserable, and ill-feelings breed crime. Clearly, the widening gap between the rich and the poor plays a significant role in crime levels. If people feel resentful and there is no law to stop them from going to extremes, they may vent their anger by committing crimes. Such people need a strong government and strict law enforcement to help them think twice before they leap. To conclude, the gap between the rich and the poor and loose law enforcement may be especially important causes of crime.Ⅱ.Listening SkillsIt’s the same with the book.Ⅲ.Listening InTask1.Robbing the Left ShoeGirl: Yes, I'd like to report a mugging.Police Officer: Okay. Can you tell me exactly what happened?Girl: Well, I was walking home from work when this woman knocked me right off my feet, seized my stuff, and ran off. I was so scared that I didn't go after her.Police Officer: Can you describe the woman for me?Girl: Yeah. He is quite tall, about six foot three.Police Officer: Wait. You said a woman robbed you.Girl: Well, I'm not really sure. [Hmm.] You see, the person was wearing a white dress, a light red sweater over it, and she or he was wearing a pair of basketball shoes.Police Officer: [Hmm.] What else can you remember?Girl: Well, the person... had a beard.Police Officer: Ah! What was, uh, taken exactly?Girl: Well, just my left shoe. Strange, isn't it?Police Officer: Ah. The "Bearded Woman" has struck again!Girl: The "Bearded Woman"?Police Officer: Well, this "Bearded Woman" is a man. He dresses up like a woman and, for some unknown reasons, likes to take the left shoe from his victims. He's really harmless andusually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later.Girl: Hey, he can keep my shoe, and I'll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park.Task2.SmugglingA young man comes up to the border on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders. The border guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?""Sand," answers the young man.The guard is a bit suspicious and asks the young man to open the bags for inspection. The guard empties the bags, but finds nothing in them but sand. Then he has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. So the young man is allowed to ride across the border with his sandbags.A week later, the same young man presents himself at the border with his bags. The guard asks, "What have you got?""Sand," says the young man.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the young man who then rides across the border on his bicycle with the sandbags.This happens every week for three years. Finally, the young man no longer appears at the border crossing. Many months go by and the border guard meets the young man in an expensive café."Hey," says the guard, "for three years you were smuggling something through my crossing station. It's driving me crazy. Just between you and me, what were you smuggling?" The young man drinks his coffee and says, "Bicycles."Task3.Who's the murderer?A passing police car heard loud screams and responded immediately. When the police arrived at the scene, they found Pete's dead body in his backyard, with many knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.Blake Smith had just finished painting his porch when the officer came. A young, polite man, Blake wiped his hands on his clean jeans before shaking hands, and said, "I've been outside allmorning. Painting the porch ceiling took a long time. Pete lives two doors away. I really didn't see or hear anything," he added apologetically.Nelson Brown had been in his garden, right next door to the victim's yard. He said, "I was in and out of the house. Weeding." His hands were dirty. Then he added, "Inside, I was repairing a chair. It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry."Kenny Green's story seemed less believable. "I was on a ladder, washing my windows," the middle-aged man admitted. The officer could see that Kenny's yard overlooked the victim's. But Kenny claimed, "I never looked over into Pete's yard, nor did I hear anything."Now the officer believed that one of the guys was lying. Who was this man?Ⅳ.let’s talkTexas Police Arrest Oldest Bank RobberTexas police say they have arrested a 90-year-old man, Henry Robert, who is accused of robbing a bank, probably making him the oldest bank robber in U.S. history.Police said Robert, who was not armed, asked a teller to put money into a large envelope with the word "robbery" written on it. A witness took down the license number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city.If he is proved guilty, Robert will face from ten to twenty years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks.Robert left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999.In a prison interview with a journalist, Robert said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to revenge against banks."A bank that I'd done business with had forced me into bankruptcy. I have never liked banks since," he told the journalist. "I decided I would get even. And I have."Ⅵ.further listening and speakingDescribing a RobberyDetective: Okay, Ms. Brown, just calm down. Could you start from the beginning and tell me what happened?Janet: Well, let's see. I was sitting at the table near the window when two men rushed in and told everyone to freeze.Detective: Can you describe the men?Janet: One was tall and with a long coat on. The other was shorter in a red jacket.Detective: After they burst in what did they do?Janet: Well, the tall one pointed his gun at the clerk and told him to open the cash register. The short one was watching the rest of us. The clerk hesitated a minute and just then the restaurant manager came out of his office. That surprised the thieves.Detective: Yeah, let's see.... The manager's name is Mr. Jackson. I guess he had the key to the safe?Janet: Yeah! That's right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe. The short one went with him. As the manager turned to go back to the office, he told the clerk to cooperate with them. Detective: Did the boss open up the safe?Janet: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medal or something.Sam: You all do. Living through a robbery is a tough experience.Two Concert TicketsAfter shopping for most of the day, a couple return to find their car has been stolen. They go to the police station to make a full report. Then, a police officer drives them back to the parking lot to see if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their surprise, the car has been returned.There is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to a concert. The note reads, "I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and I had to use your car to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are two tickets for tonight's concert."The couple feel relieved. After all, most human beings are kind, they think. They go to the concert and return home late. They find their house has been robbed. Valuable goods have been taken. And, there is a note on the door reading, "Well, you still have your car. I have to put my newly-born kid through college somehow, don't I?"Who Stole the Vase?Amy, the richest woman in town, threw a party. It was crowded and turned out to be a huge success, until about 12:00 a.m. That's when Amy noticed that her valuable vase was missing from the entry hall table.When the police chief arrived, he asked each visitor to make a statement. Phillip McDonald stepped forward, saying, "I was one of the first to arrive, about the same time as Julie Becker. I never once left the house. If people don't remember me, it's because I spent most of the time in a bedroom, watching a basketball game." The chief took down what Phillip's said, then told him he could go.Rod Bush was the next. He also claimed that he had never left the house, though he did step out onto a second story balcony, but it was so cold that he came back in immediately.Julie Becker was the third to make a statement. She also claimed never to have left or seen anything. "I spent much of the party moving from group to group and eating at the various food tables." The chief told her to leave, too, and watched as she went into the hall and took her coat from the top of a crowded coat rack. Now the chief started to suspect one of the three guests.。

What makes him unusual is that he has no money. He says the average millionaire never uses money and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks. This is because he is so used to thinking in millions that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about. But this does not mean he has no worries. On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses. His great wealth also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people. Are they friendly because they like him? Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money? John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires, who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their millions. In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionaire. He never has any money and generally manages to persuade someone else to pay for his drinks. But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for money. He is full of jokes and fun. An evening spent with him is not cheap because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happy. He does not give much thought for tomorrow. He is the happiest man I have ever met. Whenever I meet him, he tells me, “In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire.” And then the world’s richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smile, “Do you have time for another drink?” How can I refuse?Listening IIIExercise 1 1)D 2)C 3)B 4)D 5)AExercise 21)shivering 2)desire 3)check 4)repay 5)invitation 6)performScripts:For reasons long forgotten, a 14-year-old girl in Cleveland got so angry with her parent that she ran away to New York City. Cold and hungry, she was shivering on a street corner when a taxi pulled up. As some party-goers got out, a man in the group notice the girl and, asking if she needed help, insisted that she joined them for dinner in a nearby restaurant.After hearing her story, the man took her to the train station and bought her a ticket back to Cleveland. “Whatever you desire,” he told her, “if you want it enough, you can make it happen.” Then he gave her $20 and his address and telephone number. If she ever needed anything, she was to call him.She returned to her family, but could not find the paper with his name and phone number. Twenty-five years later, she found the lost paper in a diary. Ralph Burke received a letter and a check for $300. The woman asked that he accept it with the love and spirit in which it was sent. The idea, she said, wasn’t to repay a “kindness that has no price”; rather, sh e hoped he would come to meet her family. Accepting the invitation, Ralph was welcomed like a long-lost uncle.Today he insists that one should perform those “simple acts of kindness” whenever one can. “Sometime, some way,” Ralph says, “they always come back to you.”Listening IVExercise 1 1)C 2)B 3)B 4)A 5)BExercise 21)He should find a cheaper apartment outside of the downtown area.2)Basketball.3)He would feel ashamed.4)Fifty dollars including her financial consulting fees.Scripts:Gilbert:Sophia, could I borrow a few bucks?

The bank manager told me that my prospects we re excellent.”“Then why do you want to leave?” I exclaimed.“It’s the money,” Henry said.“But you are getting a good salary,” I answered.“I don’t mean that,” Henry said. “What do I do at the bank? Well, at the moment all I do is to count money.

Millionaire I know a man called John Smith who is a very unusual millionaire.What makes him unusual is that he has no money.He says the average millionaire never uses money and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks.This is because he is so used to thinking in millions that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about.But this does not mean he has no worries.On the contrary,the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses.His great wealth also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people.Are they friendly because they like him?Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money?John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires,who,instead of being masters of their wealth,are slaves of their millions.In one way,however,John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionaire.I mean he never has any money and generally manages to persuade someone else to pay for his drinks.But unlike other very rich men,he gives back good value for money.He is full of jokes and fun.An evening spent with him is not cheap,because he is usually very thirsty,but he always makes people happy.He does not give much thought for tomorrow.He is the happiest man I have ever met.Whenever I meet him,he tells me,“In money I am not rich,but in peace of mind I am a millionaire.”And then the world’s richest,penniless man usually adds,with a smile,“Do you have time for another drink?”How can I refuse?(274words)Exercise 1Directions:Before you listen to the passage,can you guess from the title what the passage mightbe
