Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies*残钞鉴别组Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)! Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog. Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture business. John had a very good day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping. Then he and Jane went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash! John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle: the Mutilated Ladies! They examined the remains and John got all his money back. ‘So long as there's something to ident ify, we will give people their money back,' said a spokeswoman for the Bank. ‘Last year, we paid ￡1.5m on 21,000 claims.'* Damaged bank notes. The Queen's head appears on English bank notes, and ‘lady' refers to this.Language points（Attention：The following points are not covered by the video. It is better for you to watch the video or listen to the MP3 first and try to take notes on your own. Then you may check here to get more details. ）1, Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket?段首或段尾运用疑问句提出问题的作用：段首--主要要引起读者的兴趣和注意力段尾--进一步巩固、加深与本段所涉及的内容，进一步引起读者的沉思2, When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? rescue 救援，援救e.g. Hundreds of people went to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.这里rescue是一个大词，大词小用可以加强语气whiter than white 这里表示damaged, mutilated的意思，中文是：损坏，残缺不全3，People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)!needn't despair=needn't feel despaired4，Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog.Fortunately for them相当于luckily / happily for themdeal with sth. 处理make a claim for提出索赔,对（赔偿等）提出要求feed sth. to 把某物喂给...feed 的过去式和过去分词都是：fed5，Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!it seems 似乎本句把dogs提前，加强了语气，本句可还原成: It seems that dogs love to chew up money!6，A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture business.第二段充分说明了约翰是怎么样把钱从银行里拿回来concern: 涉及到=is aboutrun a factory, run a company 经营工厂\公司7，John had a very good day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping.have a very good day区别下面两个例句：e.g. I had a very good day today. 我今天过得很好。

新时代主题大学英语视听说教程(第二册)Unit 7 Script
Unit 7 Innovation and EntrepreneurshipPart OneUnderstanding Short ConversationsLanguage and Culture1. Madam C.J. Walker (Conver. 1)Sarah Breedlove (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919), known as Madam C.J. Walker, was an African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a political and social activist. Eulogized as the first female self-made millionaire in America, she became one of the wealthiest African American women in the country, “the world’s most successful female entrepreneur of her time,” and one of the most successful African-American business owners ever.2. Henry Ford Museum (Conver. 5)No trip to Detroit is complete without a visit to the Henry Ford Museum, which remains the most popular attraction in Michigan. The sprawling indoor-outdoor complex in the suburb of Dearborn is split into three main sites: The Henry Ford Museum itself (showcasing Ford’s eclectic personal collection of historic memorabilia, including the limousine in which JFK was assassinated and the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat); Greenfield Village (a large selection of historic buildings, reconstructed in a “village” environment to showcase how Americans have lived since the founding of the country); and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour (an interactive, behind the scenes look at state-of-the-art car manufacturing, which still happens here today).Scripts with Key1. W: I spend too much money on beauty products. Too bad I cannot make money with theseproducts, instead of spending money on them.M: Well, one of the first female millionaires was Madam C.J. Walker. She started a company selling beauty products. This provided jobs for many people.Q: According to this conversation, what was the result of Madam C.J. Walker’s success?2. M: I thought the ATM was invented in the USA, but this article says the first one appeared in theUK, and there was something like it in Japan even earlier.W: I don’t really care where the ATM was invented. I’m just glad I can use it now to get cash here in this Vancouver, Canada shopping mall.Q: Where are the man and the woman now?3. W: Do you think they will ever invent a time machine so people can propel themselves into thefuture or travel back to interact with people in the past?M: I don’t think that’s possible. Otherwise, people from the future would be here right now with us, telling us about life in the future.Q: Why does the man believe time machines will never be invented?4. M: I wonder what dating was like in the past, when a man and a woman in a restaurant didn’thave cell phones to look at. How could they communicate with their friends?W: I would enjoy dating a man in those days. We would have a genuine conversation with each other instead of just looking at our phones.Q: What kind of man does this woman prefer to date?5. W: Thank you for bringing me from New York to the Henry Ford Museum. This is one ofDetroit’s main attractions, and the history in the place is amazing.M: Henry Ford was my favorite entrepreneur during my childhood in London. I read about him developing the automobile industry and starting Ford Motor Company.Q: Where does this conversation take place?Part TwoUnderstanding Long ConversationsLanguage and Culture1. Steve Jobs (Conver. 1)Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American business magnate and investor. He was the chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc.; chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney Company’s board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar; and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.2. Bill Gates (Conver. 1)William Henry Gates Ⅲ (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, humanitarian, and principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014.3. George Washington Carver (Conver. 1)George Washington Carver (1860s – January 5, 1943), was an American botanist and inventor. He actively promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion.4. Andrew Carnegie (Conver. 2)Andrew Carnegie (November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist, business magnate, and philanthropist. Carnegie led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and is often identified as one of the richest people (and richest Americans). He became a leading philanthropist in the United States and in the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away about $350 million to charities, foundations, and universities — almost 90 percent of his fortune. His 1889 article proclaiming “The Gospel of Wealth” called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, and stimulated a wave of philanthropy.Scripts with KeySection A Multiple ChoiceConversation 1 From Disadvantaged Circumstances to SuccessM: Carrie, I need your advice. I have to write a research paper about the achievements of a successful entrepreneur. I’m considering writing about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.W: No, Luke, everybody writes about them. I advise you to write about someone who had to overcome difficult barriers, like George Washington Carver.M: The first American president?W: No, that was George Washington. George Washington Carver was a distinguished African-American scientist, even when being African-American was a huge disadvantage.M: I remember. He invented hundreds of things using peanuts and sweet potatoes. How did he succeed? Weren’t African-Americans excluded from universities in those days?W: Well, most universities rejected him, but finally in 1888 he attended Simpson College, and then taught at Tuskegee Institute for 47 years.M: How did he endure such brutal circumstances?W: Well, Carrie, Carver confidently declared that the basis of his success was a combination of his Christian faith and curiosity about science, and that, contrary to what some people believed, these two were agreeable.M: That’s amazing! I’ll write my paper about him. What are some of his achievements that affect people today?W: He made great breakthroughs in agriculture, and he showed the world that Africa-Americans could succeed, even in the face of brutal discrimination.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Why did Carrie advise Luke not to write his paper about Bill Gates or Steve Jobs?2. Who was George Washington?3. What did George Washington Carver say about Christianity and science?4. In which industry did George Washington Carver make great breakthroughs?Conversation 2 Real Success Is One’s CharacterW: Victor, I think a man’s character makes him more attractive than money or appearance.M: Well, Rosie, in my childhood, we were poor. Even when we had cash, my parents used it to help others.W: And your family was happy. They followed the Golden Rule.M: You mean, “Do to others what you want others to do to you.” But I desire to be rich like Bill Gates.W: Actually, Gates gave much of his wealth away.M: Really? Then, I’ll follow Andrew Carnegie. His childhood was poo r, like mine, and he became rich.W: Actually, Carnegie gave 90 percent of his wealth to charity too. Real success is calculated by how we help others.M: I’ll help others later, but now if I make a few more business transactions, without anyone discover ing how much money I am actually keeping, I’ll be rich.W: That’s not success. Successful people are honest.M: So, I should be honest, give money to charity, and…W: (She interrupts him)…and follow the golden rule. If you are honest, people will trust you, and then they’ll invest in your company.M: Then I’ll succeed, and help more people.W: Yes, I think a man who helps others is more desirable than a dishonest rich man.M: Rosie, you’re amazing.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What kind of man is Rosie attracted to?6. Why was Victor’s family happy during his childhood?7. According to the conversation, which statement is true about Andrew Carnegie?8. According to Rosie, what makes people willing to invest in a company?Part ThreeUnderstanding News ReportsLanguage and CultureSilicon Alley (NR 1)Silicon Alley, centered around the Flatiron district in Manhattan, is an area of high tech industries. The term was coined in the 1990s during the dot-com boom, as a reference to “Silicon Valley”, the tech center in California. As the New York tech industries began a revival around 2003, the businesses spread outside of Manhattan making the term “Silicon Alley” somewhat obsolete. As of 2014, New York City hosted 300,000 employees in the tech sector. In 2015, New York generated over US$7.3 billion in venture capital investment. High technology startup companies and employment are growing in New York City and across the metropolitan region, bolstered by the city’s emergence as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship, social tolerance, and environmental sustainability, as well as New York’s position as the leading Internet hub and telecommunications center in North America, including its vicinity to several transatlantic fiber optic trunk lines, the city’s intellectual capital, and its extensive outdoor wireless connectivity.Scripts with KeyNews Report 1 Silicon Alley: The Latest New York Startups“The city moves at... at its own speed, right? And we always want to maximize (最大化) our time.” Busy New Yorkers would readily agree with C.J. Bertram, who is at the recent Tech Day event in New York city. Over 500 tech startups were on hand. Many of them like Bertram’s startup “Looop” displayed a distinctive New York sensibility. “We bu ild in coffee shops and we, hey, look at this, we couldn’t find seats or we watched people come in and the line was long we saw them left.”Looop lets users know how crowded restaurants and bars in the city are at any given time. “We integrate sensors (传感器) on that part stereoscopic (有立体视觉的) and it’s set overhead and it basically gets integrated by the entrance of the venue(会场). So we’re able to understand when people are approaching or people are leaving.”Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What would busy New Yorkers readily agree with C.J. Bertram?2. What is Looop aiming at?News Report 2 Silicon Valley Reacts to Trump Decision to Delay International Entrepreneur RuleSilicon Valley (硅谷) Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalist (风险资本家) could not hide their disappointment in a Trump Administration (特朗普政府) decision to delay a policy that would have allowed foreign-bornmoney-back entrepreneurs into the United States to start their businesses.If we don’t encourage entrepren eurs to come here from around the globe, we will go elsewhere and that may be a benefit to the rest of the globe but I think it will be a loss for Silicon Valley.The International Entrepreneur Rule (国际企业家规则) was created under the Obama Administration (奥巴马政府) said to take effect this month.The department of Homeland Security is delaying the start until March 2018 while proposing to eliminate it.The rule would have granted and craved (寻求) for 30 months to 3,000 foreigners annually who are seeking to build and grow their businesses in the United States.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. How do Valley Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalist feel about the Trump Administration decision?4. When was The International Entrepreneur Rule said to take effect?News Report 3 Google Glass App Helps Autistic Children Read Social CuesJulian Brown has autism, one of the ways that manifests(表现) for him is that he has trouble reading people’s emotions but his Google Glasses have an App that helps him read basic emotional cues. “There is not a machine that can read your minds, but this helps with the emotions in recognizing them.”Advocates for the autistic community say the App is just a small part of the support the growing aut istic community needs as they age. “Anything that can help this population is very welcome and very very important. But technology, even the best technology is... will never be enough because we are dealing with the population with very, often very very profound (更深层次的) needs.”Julian’s mother says she has seen a change, “It has helped our son who is using the Google Glasses connect with the family more. He is talking more to us and he is, seems to be pausing more to just kind of gather information from us in conversation that I don’t remember him doing before the program.”Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. According to the news, what is true about autism?6. How can Google Glass support the growing autistic community?7. What does Julian’s mother think of Google Glass?Part FourUnderstanding PassagesLanguage and Culture1. Minecraft (Pass. 2)Minecraft is a 2011 sandbox video game created by Swedish game developer Markus Persson and later developed by Mojang. The game allows players to build with a variety of different blocks in a 3-D procedurally generated world, requiring creativity from players. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat.2. Lawrence Edward Page (Pass. 3)Lawrence Edward Page (born March 26, 1973) is an American computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Google with Sergey Brin. Page is the chief executive officer of Alphabet Inc. (Google’s parent company). After stepping aside as Google CEO in August 2001, in favor of Eric Schmidt, he re-assumed the role in April 2011. He announced his intention to step aside a second time in July 2015, to become CEO of Alphabet, under which Google’s assets would be reorganized. Under Page, Alphabet is seeking to deliver major advancements in a variety of industries.3. Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (Pass. 3)Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (born August 21, 1973) is an American computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur. Together with Larry Page, he co-founded Google. Brin is the President of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc.Passage 1The creator of the Chowberry App has a clear motivation for creating his new food sharing application.“There was a phase in the family where my dad was temporary ill and o ut of work and I remember vividly during that time period the challenge at home was access to a wholesome (健康的) meal.”He wants to try and make sure other kids don’t have to go through what he went through.Rather than ending up in a landfills (垃圾堆) food that has passed its best by date is still safe to eat and fresh. The App allows store owners to upload (上传) information on the food they can’t sell. Charities buy the food they needed at a discounted price and deliver it to those who need it.The App is good for everyone because food stores make a small profit by selling food they would normally throw away. “The long-term goal is to have this platform evolve into a big data platform.”By the end of 2018, Ekponimo says his App will feed 100,000 households.Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What is the motivation for the creator of the Chowberry App to create the food sharing application?2. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true about the Chowberry App?3. Who has not benefited from the App?Passage 2This Imaging Application is scanning a toy bear to create a character for the popular game. Minecraft (《我的世界》) is one of many new Apps that lets users customize (定制) their games with a camera powered by an Intel chip called Real Sense.It looks at things both in the visual spectrum (光谱), as well as the infrared (红外线的) spectrum. It’s bouncing infrared off which is what gives things the volume. I mean, you can scan your face, you can scan you know, the toys, just pretty much any object.A company based in Russia and California is scanning images of people to be animated (动画的) characters in computer games.Another App musicians play virtual instruments by moving their hands through the air.At another, a Memory Mirror helps customers decide what clothes to buy as they pose in front of a smart display. It is now on use of several department stores and can sense a person’s position and shape.Identify exactly where, what your boundaries and change the color whatever you are wearing without you needing to actually change the clothes itself.These developer Apps which are high-tech products from the whimsical (异想天开的) to practical are now or may soon be on the market.Questions 4 to 6 are based on the passage you have just heard.4. How does the game Minecraft allow users to customize their games?5. Which is NOT mentioned about Memory Mirror in the passage?6. Which App is NOT mentioned in the passage?Passage 3In the late 1990s, Google was just a start-up company operating out of a garage in Palo Alto, California. Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company while studying at Stanford University.Google’s founders and its employees, then, understand some of the challenges that entrepre neurs around the world may face. An entrepreneur is a person who starts a business. They must be willing to risk financial loss in order to make money.Mary Grove is the director of a program called Google for Entrepreneurs. She said, “It’s never been easier, in some ways, to start a company and your audience has never had the potential to be more global.” Grove said Google wants to help new start-up businesses grow and be successful.Google for Entrepreneurs has opened campuses around the world, in cities like London, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Warsaw, Tel Aviv and Seoul. Entrepreneurs in each city can use Google’s buildingswithout paying. Google provides them with workspaces and meeting spaces. Entrepreneurs can work with each other and learn from people who are more experienced in business.Google for Entrepreneurs says it has been connected with over 300,000 entrepreneurs in 140 countries. Together, they have raised $1.8 billion and helped create more than 20,000 jobs. Questions 7 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.7. When did Larry Page and Sergey Brin start Google?8. According to Google’s founders and its employees, what is NOT the challenges that entrepreneurs around the world may face?9. Which city has Google for Entrepreneurs NOT opened campuses according to the passage?10.

And what we eat is getting fresher and healthier.“I think it’s very clear people want good food that’s sustainable, that’s traceable and is good for them.”New food syrups (糖汁) are connecting farmers to consumers and investors are betting the farm on their success.“Kakaxi is a social farming platform that we’re building to bring the story of food production to the table. We have internal sensors that can measure the weather data, such as temperature, daily humidity (湿度).”Farmers install it to harvest vital data, while consumers connect by an App to see crops growing in real time.“Seeing how food is transformed from nothing into something is a miraculous (奇迹般地) story. When we see food at the supermarket, that story is gone.”Kakaxi works with local community-supported agriculture groups, or CSAs. Farmers get member feedback (反馈), along with advertising they might not otherwise be able to afford.“We’re not promising 5% increase in yields if they use it, but what they all need is better ways to generating content and marketing assistance.”Questions 1 to 5 are based on the video you have just watched.1.

So we figured if there’re bike-sharing systems and car-sharing systems, why can’t we create a power-sharing system.”New York neurosurgeon (神经外科医生) Osamah Choudhry is also harnessing technology to shake up his industry. “Our vision is to bring holographic (全息图的) visualization (可视化) to medicine.” Using Microsoft’s HoloLens (全息透镜), a wearable holographic computer, his start-up MediVis allows doctors, medical students and patients to interact with 3-D models.“As physicians and surgeons we operate and we take care of patients who have a three dim ensional body. Patients deserve to see and know about their medical issues in a way that’s most intuitive (直观的) to them. They cannot read CAT scans (计算机辅助测试扫描) or MRIs (核磁共振成像).” Choudhry believes holographic visualization can ultimately save hospitals mon ey and improve safety.At New York Tech Day, the ideas were as diverse as the city these entrepreneurs call home. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the video you have just watched.6. What is a common problem for on-the-go New Yorkers?7. How much is Hoplite batteries?8. Which systems do New Yorkers have?9. How does New York neurosurgeon Osamah Choudhry shake up his industry?10. Why do entrepreneurs call New York Tech Day home?。

Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies*残钞鉴别组Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)! Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog. Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture business. John had a very good day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping. Then he and Jane went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found abeautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash! John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle: the Mutilated Ladies! They examined the remains and John got all his money back. ‘So long as there's something to ident ify, we will give people their money back,' said a spoke swoman for the Bank. ‘Last year, we paid ￡1.5m on 21,000 claims.'* Damaged bank notes.

新概念英语优美短文Unit7：Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and , in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from
his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline1, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments2.
Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthrophic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund3 scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity4. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus5 of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
