视听说原文Unit 5 Big BusinessAudio Track 4-5-1Talk 1Our company employs 100 people from the local area. It develops and produces wooden artware which it sells in one of its five city stores. Even without advertisement, the products are very popular and the stores are always busy. Customers often come directly to the stores to make purchases.*Talk 2I’m the Product Marketing Manager of our compan y. We are working on a marketing plan at the moment. Before any contracts are signed, there are a lot of things we have to take into careful consideration. We should know, for instance, the needs and preferences of consumers, the best distribution channel, the governing rules and regulations concerning the distribution of products, and the price at which products can be sold.**Talk 3My employer is a world-leading information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. The company supplies networking and telecommunications equipment to 45 of the world’s 50 largest telecom operators. In such a competitive market, the company has to innovate to stay ahead. That’s why it invests heavily in research and development, the department I work in. I’m a s enior analyst in the R&D division.Audio Track 4-5-2/Audio Track 4-5-3He may have been your typical teenager in most ways. But he was different in one particular way: he started his own magazine. At the age of 15 he managed the magazine called Student. It was written for and about young people in school. He was very busy, but it was a satisfying job.His next business venture was completely different. He and some friends started a mail order record company. It was also the same year, 1970, when his music discount store was opened in England. It made a lot of money.In the early 1990s, he sold his successful music business and used the money for another business idea: an airline company. And so, Virgin Airways Ltd. was born. To compete with other airlines, his company offered good prices to customers. Today Virgin is known for its excellent service. Richard Branson now runs the Virgin Group, Ltd. He employs 50,000 people and in many different fields, such as book publishing, financial services, modeling, and even bridal services! Not bad for a teenager from the UK who dreamed of editing his own magazine!Audio Track 4-5-4/Audio Track 4-5-5Host: Welcome back to “You Snooze, You Lose!” the best game show on television!

See you next time on “You Snooze, You Los e!” Goodbye everybody!Audio Track 4-5-6/Audio Track 4-5-7Microsoft CorporationMicrosoft Corporation is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, its best selling flagship products are the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft ships products to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975. In the mid-1980s, it rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS. Since 1985, Microsoft has released an upgrading line of Windows operating systems featuring a friendly user interface. The latest one, Windows 7, was released in October 2009 and has sold 600 million copies to date. A more powerful one, Windows 8, is to be released in late 2012. It is reported that this product can deliver a fast and fluid experience, along with a new user interface that responds equally well to touch as it does to keyboard and mouse.As one commentator notes, Microsoft’s original mission was “a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software,” and now it is a goal near fulfillment. Microsoft also makes profits in other markets such as computer hardware products and home entertainment products.Audio Track 4-5-8/Audio Track 4-5-9A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trai ns, on T-shirts and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products? A group in Canada says “No.” In 1991, they started an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of the Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for fa mily and close friends.However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many peoplefeel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.Of course, Buy Nothing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: Shop less, live more!”Audio Track 4-5-10/Audio Track 4-5-11Ad or no ad?Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word-of-mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created. Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product. Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:• Be prepared to ta lk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.• Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.• Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-5-12Noun: He gave me a beautiful present.Verb: Tomorrow I will present my ideas to the board of directors.Audio Track 4-5-131. a.

Unit 1 Our EarthListeningAudio Track 4-1-11. I’ve visited a few caves in Guilin. The rocks in the caves are in different shapes and colors. If you use your imagination, the rocks can resemble many different things. It looks like a whole other world.2. I went to the desert in Gansu once. As I stood in the middle of the desert, I faced endless sand and felt very small. By day the desert was extremely hot, by night it got very cold. I experienced summer and winter in the same day.3. To my knowledge, California has beautiful coastlines. People love them and thousands of volunteers often give up part of their weekends to keep the sandy Californian beaches clean.4. The Port of Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It handles many millions of shipping containers each year. In fact it might even be the busiest container port in the world.5. Japan has many hot springs. Some of them are located in mountainous areas and are great attractions to foreign tourists. Supposedly, the hot springs have healing properties.6. The most famous mountain range in the world is the Himalayas. It contains the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest . Qomolangma), which climbs to a height of 8,848 meters.7. The White Cliffs of Dover are one of the United Kingdom’s most spectacular natural sights. The cliffs are made from bright white stone. On a clear day, they are visible from France, approximately 30 kilometers away.8. Mount Vesuvius is a famous volcano in Italy, which has not been active for about two centuries. But people say it might erupt again, someday soon.9. Niagara Falls crosses the border of two countries, Canada and the United States.Every year, millions of tourists observe the beauty of these magnificent waterfalls. More recently, the waterfalls have become a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Audio Track 4-1-2/Audio Track 4-1-3Blake: What are you working on, MaryMary: I’m finishing my paper. It’s due tomorrow, Blake.Blake: What’s the topicMary: It’s about Greenland.Blake: Greenland. Hmmm …that’s part of Canada, rightMary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake.Blake: Well, isn’t it near CanadaMary: Yes, it’s off the coast of northeast Canada, but it’s part of Denmark. Blake: Oh, I didn’t know that. Well, what’s your paper about exactlyMary: In my paper, I answer the question “Is Greenland really green” In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and treesBlake: Is itMary: What do you thinkBlake: Let’s see … Greenland is in the Arctic Circle —way up north. It’s cold, … so “Is Greenland really green” I’d answer “probably not.”Mary: You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws.Blake: That sounds tough.Mary: It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not easy to build in Greenland. Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go thereMary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes see whales swimming in the harbors.Blake: That sounds cool! OK, so if it’s not really a “green” place, why was itnamed “Greenland”Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name.Audio Track 4-1-4/Audio Track 4-1-5Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!Elise: What is itJay: It’s called “The Titanic of the Sky.” It’s about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat.Elise: The Hindenburg …Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing.Jay: Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think It doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have today.Elise: That’s true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg “man’s greatest achievement in flight.” They thought it was safe, I guess.Elise: Who rode in it anywayJay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a “flying hotel.”Elise: It sounds pretty great.Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That’s why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster.Elise: Wh y didn’t they just take a jet planeJay: Elise! You know they didn’t have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the US by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy.Elise: Well, maybe I’ll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I’ll learn something …Audio Track 4-1-6/Audio Track 4-1-7/Audio Track 4-1-8Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer.Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil.Jack: They also look really cool.Kayla: That’s true, but there are some SUVs which are not that big but also very beautiful.Jack: And I think big cars are more fun to drive.Kayla: But then again, it’s very expensive.Jack: Well, let’s get more information about several kinds of car s, okayAudio Track 4-1-9My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country.Audio Track 4-1-10/Audio Track 4-1-11Modern buildings: We love them, we hate them.The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect . Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor’s entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Itsrailroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.Audio Track 4-1-12/Audio Track 4-1-13Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our citiesErika: I think it’s overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing. There’s no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowded.Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn’t any land left for building, rightErika: Yes, that’s true, but you have to think creatively. You can’t give up so easily.Interviewer: Think creatively What do you suggestErika: What I’m saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels and even apartment buildings. There’s plenty of space.Interviewer: Isn’t it expensiveErika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don’t have to pay robots a salary.Interviewer: Isn’t “building down” more dangerous than other kinds of constructionErika: Actually, I think it’s safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways, and underground shopping malls. I’mjust suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper. Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your ideaErika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there’s a new idea, it can cause controversy. But “building down” is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: it can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we’d be crazy not to consider the idea —it’s the wave of the future.Audio Track 4-1-141. deep cave2. arid desert3. long mountain range4. active volcanoAudio Track 4-1-15a. narrow harborb. long, sunny beachc. busy vacationd. high cliffsSpeaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-1-16/Audio Track 4-1-17Bart: So what exactly did you do over the summerGustav: We worked as volunteers at Glacier National Park.Bart: I’ve never been there. What’s it likeCarolina: It’s beautiful. There are mountains and lakes ... and, of course, glaciers!Bart: How was the jobGustav: We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind of hard.Carolina: That’s true, but it was exciting, too! We actually saw bears!Bart: Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should apply. I’ll need a job next summer.Carolina: Sorry, Bart, but you can’t apply to that program. It’s a special program for international students.Audio Track 4-1-18Conversation 1A: I’d like to live in a city apartment. It would be near public transportation as that would save a lot of time. I don’t want to waste time commuting several hours each day from home to university.B: That’s very nice, but I’d prefer to live in the suburbs. The prices there are lower and we would be able to afford a house with bigger bedrooms.A: It would be cheaper, but don’t you think the suburbs would be inconvenient B: Well, you have a point there, so we would need to get a car too. Conversation 2A: I’d prefer to live in the suburbs. We would enjoy the peace and quiet, away from all the city noise. Moreover, it would be a good environment for study.B: Even so, I think life in the suburbs would be boring. We’d have nothing to do on weekends.Audio Track 4-1-19I’d like to visit Angel Falls most because I have never seen a real waterfall. But then again, I’m a little afraid of heights and it is the world’s highest waterfall! The Andes is the place I would least like to go to because I don’t partic ularly like hiking or trekking.Audio Track 4-1-20I think the Channel Tunnel is the most amazing feat. It’s hard to imagine a train running under the sea, but this is a reality. I think this engineering masterpiece really shows what can be achieved when two countries work together. There is nowa high-speed rail service connecting the United Kingdom and France.Video CourseVideo Track 4-1-1Alejandra: One of the most beautiful natural wonders I’ve seen are the glaciers in the south of Argentina.Nick: The Matterhorn, which is a mountain in Switzerland, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. My dad and I climbed about halfway, and once we got there it started snowing so we had to turn back.Catherine: I climbed up to Everest . Qomolangma) Base Camp. All of a sudden, you look up and there’s this huge mountain that everyone’s talked about, that everyone’s photographed, and you’ve seen what it’s like in pictures but you’ve never seen it in person.Kumiko: Mt. Fuji is really beautiful from far away. When you climb it, it’s just rocks and dirt … but it’s really beautiful from far away.Natalie: I went to Niagara Falls for a family reunion. It was one of the most memorable times of my life because I got to be around people who I love — my family. And it was also one of the most beautiful sites that I’ve ever seen.Video Track 4-1-2Natalie: I went to Niagara Falls for a family reunion. It was one of the most memorable times of my life because I got to be around people who I love — my family. And it was also one of the most beautiful sites that I’ve ever seen.Video Track 4-1-3Kevin: The most impressive man-made wonder that I have seen is the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall took several thousands of people to build, it stretches many, many miles throughoutChina, and it was made in a period where we didn’t have all the technological advancements … like cranes and lifts.Gian: Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge.What an amazing feat of engineering! It gives you a chance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bay and it’s just a wonderful chance to see the city.Woo Sung: I saw the Hoover Dam once and I didn’t like it very much. It was in the middle of the desert and it’s just very hot, and there wasn’t much activity going on … and it’s just a big concrete structure.Video Track 4-1-4Kevin: The most impressive man-made wonder that I have seen is the Great Wall of China.

In New York there’s always something b eing built. And everything goes up so quickly … you never know what’s going to be around next week. Roberto: Yeah, but on the other hand, sometimes I wonder about overcrowding. Maybe they need to start building down more.Takeshi: Building downRoberto: Ye ah, it’s when you build underground instead of aboveground. Takeshi: Nah, that’s too much like living in a cave. I love the skyscrapers! They are the most incredible feats of engineering!Roberto: True. And some of the first ones were built right here in New York City.Takeshi: That’s right! You know, I wonder what New York looked like before all these buildings popped up.Roberto: I don’t know, but I’d like to see this one when it’s finished. Takeshi: Yeah.

Takeshi then talked about how much he admired the skyscrapers. Suddenly, Takeshi started taking pictures of the site, but Roberto couldn’t understand why because nothing had been built yet. Takeshi explained that he thought something famous might be there someday, like a fancy hotel where the rich and famous would stay, and he wanted to be the only one with pictures of it before it was built. But later, Takeshi felt very embarrassed when Roberto asked one of the construction workers what was being built on the site —and Takeshi learned it was to be a parking garage!。

Unit 1 Leisure activities in Book 4Part 1 listening oneEver wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “the magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothing’s really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your new tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word “No”. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will put this word in your mind." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the piece of paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote ‘No’ on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Exe. 1 T F F F F TExe. 2Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick?2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate his thoughts to theaudience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. DPart 1 listening two(The following is an interview from a weekly program.)Presenter: Good morning. Welcome to our weekly program aimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands! Listen to what our twoguests have to say about their hobbies and how their hobbies have made adifference to their lives. Adrienne first, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling. Whenever I travelsomewhere, I like to pick up something to remind me of the place that Ivisited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pick up a small piece of jewelryinstead of getting a poster or a T-shirt that won’t last. I like the idea ofhaving something small and also, I find whenever I wear jewelry fromsomewhere, it’s a good conversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Wheredid you get this?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet andtalk to people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balance and strong arms,you'll like canoeing! The main trouble is transporting your canoe to theright places—my father takes it on the roof of the car—or sometimes I put iton the roof of the club’s Land Rover. What it has taught me most is to beindependent. It's just you and the canoe against the wind, the weather andthe water. It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really excitingas long as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feel closeto nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began to run my owncanoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particular career. Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer.Exe 1:Questions:1. Who is the target audience of the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan? Keys: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. BExe 2 T T F F T T F FPart 1 listening threeGerry: I've just been to see Gone with the Wind. It was fantastic, well worth seeing.Have you ever seen it?Judy : N o, but I've read the book. I don't think I would like to see the film . It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd choose the film.Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's far more real. You can feel the atmosphere much better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, the right accents. Don'tyou think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on the film because you never know what they are thinking. Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema and it takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours, but it might take me a week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends. When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.spoil the story1.2.any day1.3.Honestly choose the film1.4.atmosphere photography location period accents1.5.insight into the characters1.6.social event1.7.agree to differ2.Films: get the atmosphere better---photography/location shots/periodcostumes/right accenteasiertake less time: two hoursan social event: fun, go with friendsBooks: take more time: one weeknot a social event: do it on your ownbooks: use readers’ own imaginationget much more insight into the charactersfilms: spoil the storyexpensivePart 1 listening fourSally Marino gets married.

At the end of the reception, Sally and her new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house.

Pete and Rose serve drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. The party is on a Saturday afternoon.It is Christmas time. Ted and Sarah Robinson want to see many of their friends over the holiday. So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes; others stay for 3 hours. About 50 people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party. They don't serve much food, just snacks—pretzels, chips, peanuts and many types of drinks. No one dances.

Receptionist: Yes, there are four classes a day, every day from Monday to Saturday with nothing on Sunday.Cathy: Yeah, can you tell me the open hours?Receptionist: The first one is an aerobics class from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning. Then there's another aerobics class at lunchtime from 12:30 to 1:30.Cathy: Right.Receptionist: Then in the evening from 5:30 to 6:30—another aerobics class too. And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30.Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK for a beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me give you a schedule. Cathy: Thanks.

It's there on the sheet.Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two weeks.Receptionist: Oh, right.

Woman: O h, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.Woman: O h, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britain would be easier.No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to many of the interesting places in Britain already.What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we can travel round Britainwhenever we like. There's no point in wasting our summer holiday here. Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when we go abroad.And, it's so confusing.Woman: O h, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And, what's more, I can't speak any other languages—you know that. It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages.Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: B ut just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet!Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much. Woman: I'm sorry, Steve, no. I don't fancy another cold English summer. Questions:1. Where does Steve want to spend the summer holiday?2. According to Steve, what is considered most important in planning a vacation?3. What does Steve find confusing about traveling abroad?4. What will help Juliet in her work?5.

It seems that the Romans played a game very much like our modern rugby with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost 100 players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, football was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association. It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed this possible? Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the Englishbegan to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5.

Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke I played on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square when Mike decided to play the same joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object about, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob looking down at him very worried. Mike said, "That was a good joke I played on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

It’s really popular here in Finland. They play them everywhere.Juliana: Do you play them, too?Henrik: Yes, I do.Audio Track 4-2-5 第27页In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive c omputing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users-and with other appliances! Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” coffee toaster. It remembers you favorite king of toast: light or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee and maker and a “smart” clock. The coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put up milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your houses and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you,” Your coffee maker needs more water.”2And that’s only the beginning. Once company is now advertising“Save time-phone your washing machine!” Engineers are making a “smart” house. In this house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” applia nces. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the Internet, but people didn’t want it, because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone”, says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.Audio Track 4-2-7 第27 页The appetite for newer, smarter mobile technology is growing. Hungry consumers are no longer satisfied with making calls and sending text messages, and people developers are taking notice. Your modern day smartphone is not just a communications device; It also offers a banquet of features such as a music player, gaming apps, Internet browser, electronic dictionary, camera, and video recorder.It’s hard to argue with the merits of having access to such entertainment on the go. And it’s harder to argue with the convenience of having multiple entertainment and communication functions served up in a signal device. However, some would argue that these phones are eating up too much of people’s time. It’s certainly food for thought. As phones become smarter they might indeed devour what’s left of our social and interpersonal skills. We’ll have to wait and see.Audio Track 4-2-9 P28Local girl rescuedShe may have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive. Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.There roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She could not escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I could not move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program usin g “rescue robots” was tired for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It went extremely well.” The rescue robot was able to g o into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. Human3beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. “A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but would not hu rt a robot.”Although it did not happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”Audio Track 4-2-11 P29An increasing number of companies and individuals are now opting to purchase virtual storage for their computer files and programs.Accessibility is generally cited as the single most persuasive factor when making the switch. Being virtual, Clouds can be accessed from any computer with a Internet connection, and at any time. For those with slower Internet connections, sophisticated software accelerates upload and download times.Cost is always a mitigating factor when it comes to choosing which technology solution to adopt. And Clouds offer maximum flexibility when purchasing storage space. No longer do companies have to make long-term investments in expensive server equipment. They can purchase only the space they require now, with the knowledge that they can easily upgrade and expand at any point in the future.Apprehensions, about the security of date, have now been put at ease as globally recognized software firms are building in the necessary security solutions.Audio Track 4-2-17 P34The most fun product has to be the cell phone. I use my cell phone all the time. Actually it almost never leaves my hand. It’s a good thing that it’s thin, light and portable. I love that I can do all sorts of things with it. It’s so much more than ju st a cell phone. I take photos with it;I use it to listen to music, and sometimes I watch movies. It’s really handy for passing the time while I’m commuting. The only negative is that the battery does not last long. It hardly lasts a day before it needs to be recharged. I should add that my phone is very practical, too. I use it to communicate with my friends and family. I can’t make long distance calls to my parents as it’s too expensive, but with my cell phone I can send text messages quite cheaply. Audio Track 4-2-1 P36Reda: I really don’t know a lot about electronics but I think that new phones...new cell phones...with ah... Cameras...which have digital cameras are well cool and they’re so easy to use. And you don’t have think all the time that y ou forgot the camera...you know? Because you always have it with you and that’s so smart.Kevin: I like the laptop because it’s very, very thin. It’s maybe less than one inch and it’s4about four pounds and I can carry it anywhere I want.Alejandra: My favorite feature of my computer is the Instant Messenger. The reason for this is that it’s very affordable, fun, and convenient and allows me to chat with my friends from all over the world.Denise: I stay in touch with my family in Brazil with like...Instant Messenger.Jackie: I use the computer for chatting online, searching the web, and downloading music. Catherine: I have a lot of friends in New York and Philadelphia and California, so instead of talking on the phone with them, I e-mail them constantly...Dave: My laptop computer is fun because I can do all sorts of things on it. I can write a paper while I’m on the train on the way home.Julianna: I use my computer to surf on the Internet, to do my homework, and to work. My computer was expensive, but it is reliable.Jonathan: I don’t really like my computer because it’s old and not reliable.Audio Track 4-2-3 P40Prof.Morgan: Good. So change the first part and make those corrections and your paper will be great.Tara: OK. Thanks for all your he lp, Professor Morgan. I’ll e-mail my paper to you later today. Prof.Morgan: You know, technology is amazing. In high school used to write my term papers on a typewriter.Tara: It must have a taken a long time to write a paper on a typewriter.Prof.Morgan: Well, I was pretty fast, but I made some mistakes. Actually, the typewriter were not that bad. Now, as for the first computers...oh my gosh!Tara: What do you mean?Prof.Morgan: The first computers were so unreliable. They used to crash all the time. And they were not as affordable or as fast as they are now.Tara: Mine’s pretty fast, but not as fast as some of the newer, more expensive ones.Prof.Morgan: I know! And nowadays, almost everyone has a computer. In those days, nobody had their own computer. We used to use the ones at the university.Tara: In the computer lab?Prof.Morgan: Yeah, that’s all we had. I’ll never forget, one spring, during final exams. Everybody was working on their term papers, and the electricity went out!Tara: So? No big ptops have batteries...Prof.Morgan: Yes, but remember, in those days we did not have laptops. If you computer crashed, you lost everything.Tara: Everything?Prof.Morgan: Everything. We used to lose information all the time, but that time it was terrible. Everybody lost their paper that afternoon...including me.Tara: What did you do?Prof.Morgan: I went back to the good, old-fashioned way.Tara: You mean typewriters?Prof.Morgan: Nope. I used something more affordable, portable, reliable, disposable, something that always worked.5Tara: What was that?Prof.Morgan: (hold up pencil and paper) The first word processor.6。

新世纪大学英语视听说第三册Unit4Unit 4 HealthListeningAudio Track 3-4-1A: Has anyone you know ever fainted?B: Oh, yes. He was one of my high school friends. One day he just fell on the floor and lost consciousness.A: What happened then?B: We felt very anxious. So one of us hurried to tell our teacher, and the rest of us waited beside him.A: Was it serious?B: Thankfully, it wasn’t. He recovered before our teacher arrived.A: How lucky!B: Yeah, he really was. He told us that he had been playing online games all night an d he hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why he felt lightheaded and fainted.Audio Track 3-4-2/Audio Track 3-4-3/Audio Track 3-4-4Female newscaster (F), Male newscaster (M), Woman (W)F: Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn’t it?M: Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They’re calling it the “holiday cruise disease.”F: It sounds scary. What caused it?M: The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate.F: OK, give us the details.M: All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300 passengers on board. BySunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded.They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience.W: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really terrible!F: What’s the situation now?M: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday —after only two and a half days at sea —and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: Ho w are they doing now?M: They’re exhausted —many haven’t slept for 48hours —but they’re doing fine.F: That’s good news. It’s too bad they couldn’t enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn’t want to refund the full amoun t.F: What’s going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story, though, and I’ll have more details for you tomorrow.Audio Track 3-4-5/Audio Track 3-4-6/Audio Track 3-4-7Mom: Have you finished packing?Bill: Almost. I just have t o check my tent one last time. I don’t want to forget any of the pieces. Mom: Is that your first aid kit?Bill: Yep.Mom: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin. Where’s everything else?Bill: Like what?Mom: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste, for example.Bill: I’ll put it in. Don’t worry.Mom: And where is your allergy medicine? You’ll need your nasal spray and some lozenges. Just in case.Bill: OK.Mom: Are you going to pack any lotion? You know, you might touch some poison ivy or something and the n …Bill: Mom, it’s only an overnight camping trip.Mom: OK, all right then. Oh … what about mouthwash? After you brush your teeth you’re going to want …Bill: Mom, I’m not preparing for a date. I’m going on a camping trip! An overnight camping trip.I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!Mom: All right, then. I was just trying to be helpful. …I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Audio Track 3-4-8Susan: What’s wrong?Anne: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.Susan: Do you have a cold?Anne: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred — he has the flu.Susan: I’m sorry to hear that.Anne: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Audio Track 3-4-9I stopped drinking co ffee because I couldn’t sleep at n ight. It was hard to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinkingcoffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usuallyhave coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early!A lot of people drink coffee just because they feel tired.Audio Track 3-4-10/Audio Track 3-4-11Get in the habit!We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the university of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.These habits are:1. eating breakfast every day2. avoiding snacks between meals3. keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4. exercising regularly5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6. not smoking7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret’s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can’t. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartm ent is messy and she’s embarrassed by it. “I’ve never been a tidy person,” she says. “My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.”Today it’s so easy to get information … and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it’s too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can’t think clearly. “I can’t sleep at night because I worry,” says Bahman, a college senior. “It’s terrible.”Hurry sickness is a s traightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. “I’m always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,” says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in “deskfast” (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness!We’ve all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you’re working. Steven works as a project manager. “I can finish my work in about four hours, but I’m afraid to say anything about it. I don’t want to b e assigned too much work!” In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even become depressed. Chances are you’ve experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be “pain in the neck,” because that’s what people with this condition experience. Holding the pho ne between your neck andyour ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long massage is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Audio Track 3-4-14Ed is about to faint.Stop him from falling.Ask him to sit down.Loosen his collar.Ann has already fainted.Lay her on her back.Raise her legs.Check her body for injuries.Speaking and CommunicationAudio Track 3-4-15Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can’t stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recently?Chad: Let’s see … I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit yo u. Please sit up here. Let’s take your temperature.Audio Track 3-4-16A: Excuse me. Are you all right?B: I’m not sure.A: What happened?B: I had a bicycle accident.A: How do you feel?B: My ankle hurts badly.A: Maybe you can’t ride your bike for now.B: Yeah, you’re right.A: Is there anything I can do for you?B: Yes, please. Would you mind calling an ambulance for me? Thanks a million.Audio Track 3-4-17A: I seem to have a headache all the time.B: Well, you should try acupuncture.A: Really? Have you tried it yourself?B: Absolutely. It really works.A: I don’t know ... I’m scared of needles.B: Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt and it’s very safe. You know, it has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medical practice.C: If you’re afraid of needles, perhaps you should try hypnotism.A: Is it effective in curing headaches?C: Sure it is. It has been used to treat nervous energy and pain. The biggest advantage is that no medicine is required because it uses your mind to bring you peace of mind. It will definitely do you good.A: But I’m not sure if I could be hypnotized.C: Relax. I’ll recommend you a very nice hypnotist.D: If you find it difficult to be hypnotized, you should try yoga.A: But it’s physical ly chall enging.D: That’s true but yoga emphasizes control of breathing and it’s a very good way to exercise. Daily exercises are said to help ease aches and pains.Video CourseVideo Track 3-4-1Alejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and my … I’ve got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don’t want to get out of bed. So I stay home, I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick —and I mean really sick —the first thing I do is run to the medicinecabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I’m not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I’m really OK, and it’s just a matter of time.Malinda: When I was younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste can cure burns … bee stings … uh … bites … it’s … amazing. “I got a bee sting —ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I got burnt —ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I have cancer —ah, put toothpaste on it.”Kumiko: I use aloe vera.I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works. Catherine: My father’s been recently very interested in acupuncture. He’s been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he’s been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I’m a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.Video Track 3-4-2Gian: When I get sick — and I mean really sick — the firstthing I do is run to the medicine cabine t and try to find something to make me feel better.
