3 Newspapers often contain out-of-date information by the time they hit the shelves. I partly disagree with the third statement. It is true that newspapers can’t adapt as quickly as other types of media to breaking news events. However, there are advantages to having slower news. Newspaper journalists have time to digest information on an event, so they can write their reports with greater accuracy and details. It is less likely for newspapers to make mistakes although it takes longer time for an event to get reported. In contrast, reporting a news event immediately as it happens, as many online news websites are doing today, may lead to speculations (猜测) because the bigger picture is often unknown yet.

Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students、I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys、You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start、They waited to see the rest of the class would do、Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided、Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time、His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home、I was delighted at the presence of such a student、Here was anexceptionally creative mind at work、His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside、I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking、Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative、Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads、“That’s pretty creative、Who does that for you?”“Nobody、I do

an adventure, traveling far and wide with each newBruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read、BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops、Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it、E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found、Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real”and not the

small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea、From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent、The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done、Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort、Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a

Making a Living, Making a Difference
Listening 1
A| Most people run away when they see a poisonous snake—but not the Irulas of India. For generations, the Irulas made their living catching wild snakes. The snakes’ skins were sold and made into luxury goods such as handbags and boots. Then in 1972, the Indian Parliament adopted the Wildlife Protection Act, and the basis of the Irulas’ economy was suddenly illegal. Some Irulas got jobs as farm laborers, but many found themselves out of work.
To be continued >>>
Listening 1
The reason I’m telling you all of this is simple: The ideas behind the Irulas’ co-op can be used in many places. After all, the Irulas have found an effective and sustainable way to use wild animals for their own benefit. Instead of being killed, the snakes are staying alive, and they’re benefiting people in more than one way. Now, I know that I’m speaking to a diverse group of people. The different species that you want to protect can’t all be milked for their venom. But what all of you can do is to assess your situation. If endangered animals in your country are being killed and sold, it’s important to understand the reasons—the economic benefits that come from killing the animals. You might find another way, some other way for people to earn even more money than before by not killing the animals.

Is It Fun to Take Risks?Johnny: Hey Mom, is it OK if I go rock climbing with my friends?Mom: No way! Do you realize how dangerous it is? It's not that easy to do either.Dad: Y our Mom is right. I mean, it's far too difficult and dangerous to go rock climbing. Y ou need specialized instruction.Johnny: But I did have some specialized training a couple of months ago. Remember that climbing course I did? Now I'd like to try it out and climb on a real rock face.Mom: I know. But the thought of you and your friends climbing on steep rock faces is just too scary for words.Johnny: But, Mom, I don't have to climb to the top. The rocks aren't slippery. They have holes and cracks, and lumps and ribs where it's easy to get a good hold.Lily: Sounds cool!Mom: I know, but can't you do something less dangerous instead of rock climbing? Johnny: But, Mom, I like rock climbing more than any other sport I've tried. Don't you think we all need to take some risks sometimes? It's part of growing up, and it's fun to try new things. Haven't you always said that we should expand our horizons and push ourselves to the limit? Mom: Y es, but not by rock climbing! As your parent I need to think about your safety. I want to help you make good choices and avoid the risk that can kill you. Definitely not rock climbing! It's too risky! I want you to evaluate risks and make good, safe choices.Lily: OK, Mom, it's OK to take some risk. It can be fun. There's even a poem in my English book about how to take risk. Uh, would you like to hear it? It goes like this:To laugh is to risk being a fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out to another is to risk involvement.To express feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair.To try is to risk failure.The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.They may avoid suffering and sorrow,But they simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.Risks must be taken because,The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."Only a person who risks is free."Don't you all think it's a good poem?Johnny: Sure is! Thanks for reading it, Lily. Don't you think we're always taking risks no matter what we're doing? Even when you are drinking water, you have the risk of choking. And when you're driving, you have the risk of having an accident. But, you drive anyway and you know it'sMom: Sure, there are some risks we need to take. We all know that some things are riskier than others, but not every risk is worth taking. Y ou need to think about what could happen to you. Johnny: I agree, but nothing we do is completely safe. And I've often heard you say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Besides, rock climbing isn't as dangerous as it seems if you have the right equipment and good training. We wear special shoes when we go climbing. Climbing-shoes are very flexible and fit around the feet tightly. Besides, I won't climb the difficult rock.Lily: On TV I've seen that climbers use some metal hooks to help them climb more safely. Johnny: Y es, the hooks are put in place and secured by the first climber, and then they stay there for the other climbers to be able to climb safely. (He turns to his Dad.) Dad, what do you think about climbing?Dad: Well, how many of you are going? Do you have a guide, or even an instructor? Johnny: Y es, there'll be an instructor with us, and there'll be about 10 of us climbing.Dad: To be honest, this conversation reminds me of, uh, my childhood, my parents being protective of me.Mom: Isn't that what parents should do—protect our children?Johnny: Mom, I know you love me, and I am very thankful for that. But I'd like to make my own decision about rock climbing. I've been wanting to go climbing for a very long time now. It isn't much different from the climbing I've done during my training, and I've learned that I can do it safely. I don't mind taking some risks! It's like what the poem says: The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Y ou've already admitted that driving a car is a risk, but you still do it, and you enjoy it.Mom: I'll admit that. I know your Dad's always taking risks.Dad: Me? What risks do I take?Mom: Y ou smoke almost a pack of cigarettes a day. Don't you think you're risking having a heart attack, lung cancer or whatever?Dad: Don't get me involved. We are talking about Johnny and rock climbing!Johnny: I think Mom's right about the risk of smoking. The important point is whether you think the risk is worth taking. Just like Dad, he knows smoking will harm his health, but he still won't give it up. I don't think rock climbing is as risky as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.Lily: Even if you stay at home, doing nothing, you still have the risk of fires, earthquakes, and tornadoes...Mom: OK, OK, I give up. Just be careful. Do what your instructor has to say. Stay close to the rest of your group. I don't want you to get injured. OK?Johnny: Don't worry, I'll be very careful. We'll all be careful. Thanks Mom. Y ou are the greatest!(He winks at Lily.)LS-11. 3-5-6-8-10Husband:Oh! It's unbelievable!Wife:What's the matter?Husband:This article says that lifespans vary according to race, income level and whether you are male or female. Er, now, can you guess which is the most important factor?Wife:Mm, I think it might be the sex.Husband:That's right! Y ou see, my grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa. Generally speaking, women live longer than men. In 1993, the average lifespan of women was 6.9 years longer than that of men in the United States.Wife:6.9 years?! I can't believe it. Then how about race?Husband:Race... The paper says white women live 5.1 years longer than black women.Wife:So this means I am doubly lucky since I am a white woman.Husband:Y es. But actually the largest risk you could run—after being born male—is being poor. Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking, drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.Wife:That's true. If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions, good medical care and good nutrition. But still I have a question. Why can women live longer than men?Husband:I think you'd better ask the experts.LS-21. NYNYYThe possibility that something bad will happen is a risk. Risk can also be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunity. All risks have possible negative results. However, some risks are worth taking. For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school team. Y ou risk a possible injury while playing to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team. Y ou may decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the risk of injury. By being fit, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.How can we determine the risks involved in an action? Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied. These risks relate to choices made of activities or behavior that influence one's health either positively or negatively and scientists use statistics to measure these risks. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that helps determine the possibility that something will occur. The information about the possibility is called statistical risk and can help you make healthy choices. For example, statistics indicate that in the United States the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent. In other words, two out of every ten deaths are due to some kind of c ancer. Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high. However, statistics also show that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over which you have some control. In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancer. These include such things as avoiding pollution, not smoking, and eating a diet high in fiber. If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.ML-11.A-H-C-L-E-G-I-N-J-F-K-M-O-B-D2.BDDABIf you plan to go hiking in the wilderness or a national park, make sure you are prepared. A compass, a knife, and maps are essential items to take with you. Y ou should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case, some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit, and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from. Then go back that way.If you can't find the trail, try to explore the area, marking your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. Y ou may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until morning. Even a full moon won't give you enough light, and it can throw shadows that hide dangers.If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. Y ou can also use bright colors, shiny metals or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.ML-21.BCCDB2.5-7-3-1-4-6-2I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Another time, I was flying over the mountains when suddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was lying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot. Questions:1. What is the speaker?2. What does the speaker mean by "I was flying a bomb, not a plane"?3. How did the speaker feel when flying a plane carrying a lot of dynamite?4. What happened when the speaker was flying over the mountains?5. What does the speaker think of his job?ML-31.

But don't go into the house.ML-42. TFFFTOn the morning of April 10, 1912, the luxury liner the Titanic left England on a voyage to New Y ork. Four days later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner the Andrea Doria left Italy. The Andrea Doria was also traveling to New Y ork. Eight days later this great ship also lay at the bottom of the Atlantic.The sinking of the two huge ships, these two very, very large ships, shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When the Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of the Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world's rich and famous people. In fact, ten American millionaires lost their lives when the Titanic went down. Today millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.Another similarity was that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and acts of evil. Some people acted very bravely, even heroically. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on the Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. The last similarity was that both of these ships were considered "unsinkable". People believed that they would never sink.There are also differences between the great ship disasters. To begin with, the Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic. The Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her 101st transatlantic crossing. Another difference was that the ships sank for different reasons. The Titanicstruck an iceberg while the Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Another contrast was that the Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship, but the Titanic was not equipped with radar. The Titanic had only a lookout. The lookout was able to see the iceberg only moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents was the number of lives lost. When the Titanic sank, more than 1,500 people died. They drowned or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic water. Just over 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident 60 people lost their lives, and about 1,650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on the Titanic was that the ship was considered to be unsinkable and so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats to rescue all the people aboard the ship. The Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship; however, they were able to use only about half of the lifeboats they had because of a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of the Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on the Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting that the wreck of the Titanic was found only in September of 1985.TY-1FFTFTTMrs. Grace Hume is one of the few living survivors of the Tyrone disaster. The ship sailed from Liverpool for New Y ork on the 7th of April 1926. Five hundred passengers were aboard. Only 85 of them survived. Mrs. Hume described the voyage recently for a BBC radio program."The morning we left Liverpool the weather was very pleasant and we were all sure we were going to have a very pleasant voyage. The captain told us it would be warm and calm all the way to New Y ork. I still remember some of the passengers. There was an old lady who was going to visit her son in Boston. And there was a man who was going to start a new life in Canada. They both went down with the ship. The first and second days were very nice. I thought I would soon have a fine suntan. Then, on the second evening, the captain told us that the weather the next day was going to be a bit worse than expected but that it wouldn't last long."It turned very nasty on the third day. I remember someone saying, 'Oh, well, it'll soon be over.' None of us had any idea how bad it was going to get. By the time it was evening, it was really terrible."Everybody stayed in their cabins on the fourth day. The storm was impossible to describe by then. Suddenly I felt a jolt. Then someone started screaming something about a huge leak in the engine room. We all ran up on to the deck. I was sure I would never be able to get in one of the lifeboats. There were too many people fighting over them. I also knew that I would go down with the ship if I stayed any longer because it was going to sink any minute. When I jumped into the water I sank so deep that I was sure I was never going to come up again. Somehow I did and there was a lifeboat in the water near me, only half full. Someone pulled me in."During the night I often thought we were going to sink again or at least die of the cold, but the next morning the storm died down. Then a ship came into sight and we and some people in another lifeboat were rescued."TY-2( Joe Burns is a famous racing-driver. He is being interviewed on a sports program.) Reporter: Y ou've had a very dangerous life, haven't you, Joe? I mean, you've almost been killed several times, haven't you?Joe: Y es. I suppose that's right.Reporter: When was your worst accident?Joe: I'd say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.Reporter: Is that the only time you've been...er...close to death?Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged, but luckily, I wasn't even hurt.Reporter: Y ou must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn't be a racing-driver if you didn't want to be, would you?Joe: I don't know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.Reporter: Really? When was that? During your last race?Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during the rush hour.TY-3CBCDASix days ago, in Russia, a mine was flooded when all the miners were working. And lots of miners were trapped underground. Nobody knew how much air was inside and what the situation was to the trapped miners. Rescue teams tried every way to get some message from the miners, but it seemed in vain. This caused worldwide concerns. The accident was reported by the world media. But to people's great surprise, this morning came the dramatic news. Rescue teams dug 60 meters and had tunneled through. They discovered survivors at part of the mine not flooded. To miners underground those were really anxious moments. They prepared themselves for the worst. Now suddenly they had hope they could see their loved ones again. And then they were brought out of the mine. Exhausted and wounded, they were not strong enough to wave to their relatives or friends. Wrapped with blankets, these survivors were carefully handed over to the ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. However, not everyone survived. One miner was reported to have been found dead, another missing.Questions:1. Where did the accident happen?2. What caused the mine's accident?3. What can we learn about the rescue teams?4. Which of the following statements is true of the miners?5. How many miners became the victims of the accident?。

Unit2Listening 1Tour Guide: OK, everyone, here’s our next exhibit. Do you see the body of the little bird in that bottle? That is a dusky seaside sparrow. It was an old male that died on June 16, 1987. It’s kind of sad because he was the very last dusky seaside sparrow in the world. They’re now extinct. Yes, you have a question?Male: Do you know why they became extinct?Tour Guide: Basically, they lost their habitat. See, the dusky seaside sparrow lived only in one place—on Merritt Island in Florida. The island had a lot of mosquitoes and wetlands. The people on Merritt Island used chemicals to kill the mosquitoes.Tour Guide: Those chemicals were also very harmful to the sparrows, and many died. In addition, the people on Merritt Island tried to control and exploit the wetlands. As they altered them, the wetlands were no longer a good habitat for the sparrows. The birds died one by one until there weren’t any left.Female: So, if people were to blame, can’t we make sure something like that never happens again?Tour Guide: We’re trying. The situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. We need to protect endangered animals. However, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals andtheir habitats, too. After all, if an animal’s habitat is destroyed, the animal will likely become extinct.Tour Guide: We’re trying. The situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. We need to protect endangered animals. However, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals andtheir habitats, too. After all, if an animal’s habitat is destroyed, the animal will likely become extinct. That’s why the Endangered Species Act, which was passed in the United States in 1973, protects both endangered animals and their habitats. For example, the steelhead trout lives in rivers and streams on the west coast of the United States—the Columbia River in Washington state for instance. Recently, both the fish and the river came under the protection of the Endangered Species Act.Male: But how can we protect large areas such as rivers and forests? No one—not even the government—can afford to buy or control all the land that endangered species live on.Tour Guide: Good point. In fact, that’s what makes the Endangered Species Act difficult to fully enforce. There’s an ongoing conflict between some landowners and the government. Take the case of the gray wolf, for instance. At one time, the wolves were common all over North America, but by the 1930s they were nearly all killed. Then in 1973, the wolves came under the protection of the Endangered Species Act, along with huge areas of land—in Wyoming and Idaho, for example. This angered ranchers. They think they should have the right to shoot wolves that threaten their sheep and cows.Tour Guide: So, landowners may understand the need for the protection of endangered species, but it’s understandable that they might also feel that the Endangered Species Act violates their rights. Yes?Female: Is the law working? I mean, what is the status of endangered species today in the United States?Tour Guide: Unfortunately, the situation of threatened and endangered animals is worse now than in 1973, even with the Endangered Species Act in place. Reports on topics such as habitat loss, deforestation, and overfishing show that the situation for many species is far worse now than it was in 1973. Let me be more specific. Right now over 1,300 species in the United States are listed as endangered or threatened.Tour Guide: And, it’s important to keep in mind that not many species are ever taken off the list. Since 1973, in fact, only around 39 species have been removed from the Endangered Species list. But that number doesn’t indicate the complete story. What’s significant about that number is that only 14 species were removed because they had actually recovered. Nine species became extinct, and the others were removed from the list after scientists found evidence that listing the species had been a mistake in the first place. Meanwhile, another 300 species may soon be added to the list, including a plant, the Las Vegas buckwheat, and an insect, the Miami blue butterfly. So, you see, even with the Endangered Species Act in place, we’re not making as much progress as we would like. Any more questions? OK, let’s move on to the next exhibit. This way, please.导游：好，大家好，这里是我们的下一个展览。
