1Li Yang Crazy for EnglishBy staff reporter ZHAN NIPUT your face into your pocket, and cry out in English with me, so that you won't lose it in the future!" Li Yang yells, while making gestures to indicate correct pronunciation, and titillating the audience into roars, whooping, and applause. Such ardor and vigor is the trademark of Li Yang's Crazy English, an unconventional method of English study that encourages learners to enunciate English as they study.Crazy English was not readily accepted when it first emerged, as it ran counter to all traditional modes and concepts of teaching. It is in no way strange that Crazy English was initially despised and detested by the many traditional Chinese people who have longcherished the oriental virtues of restraint, modesty and moderation. But Li, a sturdy young man with bristling brush-cut hair, has never given up, despite all prejudice and opposition.To date, Li Yang has lectured over 20 million people in China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. Over 100 members of the media from 30 countries, including Canada, the U.S and Australia, have interviewed him, and the Japanese TV station NHK has made a live broadcast of his Crazy English. A documentary film has also been shot about this latter-day legend.Li showed no aptitude for languages during his childhood, and in his early youth he was so introverted that he was afraid to talk to strangers or go to the cinema alone. As a child he once suffered an accidental electric shock during physical therapy, but was too shy to mention it. In 1986 Li entered the Engineering Mechanics Department of Lanzhou University, but his college life did not get off to a good start. He did so badly at school work that he failed a total of 13 exams in various subjects, including English. Determined to make a change, Li devoted himself topreparing for the upcoming TEM 4, a national English exam for college students.At first he busied himself with books full of exercises, like all his classmates, but one day he found that his study effectiveness was much improved when he read the text out loud. By enunciating what he was learning, he felt more confident and courageous, and furthermore, that he could focus his attention more closely on studying and therefore have a clearer memory of what he had learned. So every day, in a clearing on campus, he read English exercises, texts and books out loud. The effect was magic. In the TEM4 exam he attended four months later Li Yang finished all the questions within 50 minutes and won the second highest mark in his college.2This success inspired Li Yang. He summarized hisexperience and gradually forged a unique method of Englishstudy that consists of listening, reading, speaking, writing andtranslating, and named it Crazy English. This is an effective wayof improving English pronunciation, speaking, listening and oraltranslation. Li Yang was eager to share his experience withothers who had also experienced difficulty in learning English,and one day surprised everyone who knew him by posting up anotice on campus, announcing that he would give a lecture on studying English. This lecture, the first Li had ever given, was warmly applauded by his schoolmates, despite his initial awkwardness of delivery.After his graduation in 1990 Li Yang got a job at the Northwest Electronic Equipment Institute in Xi'an in Shaanxi Province. He went on with his Crazy English by reading English on the way to and from his office, and standing on top of the office building every morning shouting out English. In 1992 Li went to Guangzhou, and was selected from among 1,000 other candidates taking the test for a post on the English channel of the Guangdong People's Radio Station. He later became a popular English news reader at Guangzhou TV station, and the youngest member of the China Translators' Association.In the years following Li further advanced his English via practice of Crazy English. His English became so pure that it is hard to distinguish him from a native speaker, and the advertisements he dubbed were widely broadcast in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. He is now also a noted bilingual compere in Guangzhou and a specially-invited translator at the U.S. Consulate General, and is referred to jokingly as an all-purpose translating machine.Vexed at the thought of over 300 million Chinese people still studying English dumb and mute, Li Yang quit his job in 1994 and founded the Li Yang Cliz English Promotion Studio. In the past years his Crazy English has been accepted by 20 million people in over 100 cities in China, and inspired millions of people in their study of English.Time Magazine once published a report on Li Yang, which read: "There was a time when diplomats needed to speak French, and doctors benefited from German. But Li Yang believes English is an indispensable language. He thinks there is one method that can help China grow strong and confident. That is to shout English out loud." This article pushed Li Yang and his Crazy English into the foreground of world attention.With the belief that language learning will become one of the biggest businesses in the future, with Chinese and English predominating, Li Yang has set himself another ambitious target: to promote his Crazy English.Crazy Chinese world-wide and to help 300 million Chinese to speak excellent English, and 300 million foreigners to speak excellent Chinese.Li Yang hopes that more Chinese people will go abroad to work as language teachers, as Americans and Britons have done in China, as its further opening up and increasing influence within the international community means that Chinese is becoming an important foreign language in many countries. Chinese courses are now available in manySome 20,000 Englishlearners shout CrazyEnglish with Li Yang atthe Workers'Gymnasium.3 primary and middle schools in certain Western countries, and more and more foreigners are swarming to China to study Chinese."In the 21st century, people with a mastery of both English and Chinese will be in great demand around the world. So we must study English, and true English, in earnest. We have to grasp English before we can spread Chinese to more countries and regions of the world." For this purpose Li Yang is planning to make a circuit of foreign countries to give lectures on the Chinese language and culture. He also hopes that Chinese language and culture centers, where people may gain a better understanding of this ancient country, might be set up in foreign metropolises and leading universities.Li has sacrificed much in pursuit of his ideal, in particular his health and private life. Overwork has resulted in various ailments such as congestion of the throat, hyperosteogeny and a slight paralysis of the limbs. This exuberant young man often dreams of retreating from the current excitement and bustle to go and rest in a peaceful place, like Lijiang, Yunnan Province for example. Such thoughts are banished, however, as soon as he catches sight of the foot-high pile of invitations on his desk.-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-To all Chinese English learners:写给所有中国英语学习者的第一封信：1.I am truly honoured to have this fantastic opportunity to make all your guys’acquaintance.万分荣幸能够有这样绝佳的机会与大家相识。
2010英语期末口语考试
第一篇：①Having a Boyfriend or Girlfriend on CampusIn recent years, having a boyfriend or girlfriend has become a fashion on campus, especially at colleges and universities. This fashion is thought of by most love-struck students as a good way of developing their personality and a precious part of campus life.While it is true that being together and in love is wonderful for young people, there are still many difficult issues to cope with. Firstly, since having a special friend is a large responsibility, it takes up a lot of time looking after the needs and interests of another person, most of which could be used for studying or playing sport. Financial situation is another factor to consider. Some activities are cheaper to do together, but most are not. For example, going to the movies or to a restaurant and buying each other more expensive gifts than necessary often cost a great deal.As a college student, I don’t think it wrong or shameful to have a boyfriend or girlfriend on campus,and meanwhile, I don’t encourage this deed. After all, study is the principal task on campus.第二篇:②Cheating at ExaminationsCheating at examinations has long been a headache of school authorities although every possible effort has been made to stop it. Some students consider cheating as an effective approach to pass examinations and such cheat has given rise to many adverse effects on students’ study and career.The reasons for cheating at examinations consist in both the students and the schools. The students who cheat at examinations are always those who don’t study hard or are rather poor at certain subjects, so they have no choice but to cheat. Meanwhile, good performance in examinations has been the most important standard of being a good student. The schools often evaluate and rank students according to their results in examinations, bringing to students great pressure.There are at least two applicable ways to solve this problem. First, the schools should introduce a new all-round system of evaluating a student to replace the traditional examination-oriented system. Second, more high-tech means, such as video surveillance and fingerprint identification, should be employed to catch such cheat.第四篇:③English cornersEnglish corners are occasions where English teachers can talk with each other in English on some topics. Now, nearly every college provides students such opportunities to practice speaking English.Needless to say, English corners are helpful for English study. First, by talking with other people, one can improve his or her oral English, especially when native speakers join. Also, taking part in English cornersmay develop one's interest in English. Confidence in speaking may build up confidence in writing and listening. More importantly, participating in English corners is a way to find one's mistakes in speaking English, and fortunately, most of the mistakes are often corrected right on the corners.In order to make good use of English corners, one should take into consideration the following suggestions. What is most important is speaking only English from the very beginning to the end. Another is speaking actively yet modestly.第六篇:④Pros and Cons of Online ShoppingRapid development of the Internet leads to the rise of online shopping. People first browse through the screen to find wanted articles, then pay with credit or debit cards, and the goods are later delivered to them. Websites such as eBay and Taobao have become burgeoning competitors versus real stores, taking up a considerable market share.Convenience is the major attraction about online shopping. While it usually takes a whole day to wander about the malls, online shopping process is within several clicks of the mouse at home. Since the ordered goods are delivered to your doorsteps, there is no need to lug heavy bags home. Lower price is also an advantage. Online stores have lower overheads, thus reducing the costs. As a result, customers can have real bargains.However, at present, security of online shopping is still a concern for some people. There is a chance you could get ripped off by the website, or a hacker could work out the password of your credit card. What is more, customers only see the pictures online, and are sometimes dissatisfied with the actual items. After all, online shopping is an emerging thing, and we believe these problems can be solved when the market is more mature. By then people can go shopping online free of worry.第七篇:⑤Fang XiaoyuRoom 323, No. 7 BuildingNo. 1037, Longshan RoadWuhan, 430074Department of Humatt ResomcesZiguang BuildingNo. 108, Zhongguancun North RoadBeijing, 100081Dear Sir Or Madam,I learned from Being Youth Daily on Dec. 2nd that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Peking University, and obtained a bachelor's degree in business management. During my stay in the university, my major courses included economics, marketing and computer applications. I was especially food of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well. In addition, I passed CET-6 with a high score and can speak English fluently.Before graduation I was engaged with P&G Beijing Branch as an assistant to the head of Marketing Department. The two-year experience helps me a lot in many ways. In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of cooperation among co-workers. I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I enclose herein my resume end some relevant documents as required.I appreciate your kind consideration of me, and I am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Fang Xiaoyu第八篇：⑥Private cars in chinaWith the improvement of people's living standards, private cars have found their way to ordinary Chinese’s homes. Remarkable national economic growth provides a strong backing for the increasing trend. Nowadays, more and more citizens are planning to buy cars. And for some better-off families, one may not be enough.People embrace private cars primarily for its convenience, which can free us from the rigid timetable and fixed route of buses and metros. Efficiency is the second attraction, since driving is usually faster than other means of transportation. This advantage becomes obvious especially in the event of emergencies when it is difficult to take a taxi. Despite these merits, contrasting arguments are equally salient. First, efficiency is usually a mirage. Frequent congestions actually render the cities huge parking lots. Second, private cars are responsible for air Pollution, as emissions of carbon dioxide and ethane contribute to global warming.Now that there seems no way to stop people from buying cars due to consumers' freedom of choice, it is almost certain that the number of private cars in China will continue to rise. If we can improve the road systems, and develop more environment-friendly cars, we may minimize the negative consequences while enjoying the benefits.。

In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tent to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists onlyof a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work.

CCACCPassage 4Many people now keep animals as pets. Some people have cats and dogs in their houses. Other people like fish, caged birds, tortoises and even snakes, monkeys or lions. Millions of dollars and much time are spent every year on pet food, equipment, taming and medical treatment.Of course, there are some people who do not look after their pets properly or are even cruel to them. For this reason a royal society was created in 1824 in Britain to prevent cruel treatment of animals.In contrast to the love of pets is the fact that blood sports still exist in most countries. People go hunting foxes, elephants, pandas, ducks, rabbits and other animals, or go fishing, not because they need the meat to eat, but just for pleasure. In some countries, blood sports like bull fighting and cock fighting are common and hunting rare animals for commercial purposes has brought about an even more serious problem in the protection of the ecosystem.It is strange that people love certain animals, but enjoy killing others, in cruel ways, too.1. How do most people treat their pets?A. They do not take care of them.B. They train them at home.C. They spend a very large amount of money and time on equipment to give them good exercises.D.

Which of the follow ing seems to affect the earth’s ecosystem most seriously?A. Hunting animals for pleasure.B. Keeping pets at home.C. Illegal killing of rare animals.D. Maltreating animals.5. What does the passage mainly imply?A. People should not keep animals as pets at home.B. Rare animals should not be killed for profits.C. Animals should be well treated and protected.D. Hunting should be forbidden.DDACCPassage 5Weather has a great influence on people. It influences people's health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart disease (疾病) and other kind of health problems during the month. In the Northeast and Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these places may have heart disease after the weatherchanges in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1982 study by scientists, the IQ scores of a group of students were very high during a storm, but after the storm their IQ scores were lower than usual level. So storms can increase intelligence. However, very hot weather can lower it. Students in the United States often do badly on exams in the hot months of the year.Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months and they may feel unhappy during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. The summer heat may make them tired and they are easy to get angry.Are you feeling sick, sad, tired or very intelligent today? The weather may be the cause.1. If thin people feel unhappy, the weather may be very __________.A. warmB. coldC. coolD. hot2. Students in the U.S. usually do badly on exams in __________.A. JanuaryB. DecemberC. AugustD. May3.

Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price!

Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example，if you fall off a bike and break your arms，it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes，so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wristsHand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time，follow these three rules: 1) Rest your wrists on some thing.2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands，wrists and fingers in a different way.Your backSome people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way，you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes.Your forearms，wrists，hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time，get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms，legs and neck.Enjoy your computer，but use it safely.1.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1. It is ＿＿＿＿since a man felt all the pain while being operated .A. a few more yearsB. not longC. few yearsD. two thousand years2. Long ago , when the sick man was operated on , he ＿＿＿＿.A. could feel nothingB. could not want anythingC. could feel all the painD. could do anything3. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ＿＿＿＿.A. be afraid of anythingB. feel painC. want to go to the partiesD. be ill4. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ＿＿＿.A. felt nothingB. felt very comfortableC. still felt painD. would die5. One who took too much of the laughing gas ＿＿＿.A. would dieB. would laugh all the timeC. would never feel painD. would be very calmACBCAPassage 13Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and conversation. Formal dinners in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the United States have no servants, their dinner parties at home are decidedly informal. As many new small homes have no separate dining room or just have very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates or trays on their knees.A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic. Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket. Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside. Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold －sandwiches, salads, potato chips, pickles. Watermelon is a favorite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps for the old and weary.1. What do Americans like to do with their friends?A. To invite them to dinner at restaurants.B. To invite them to some fine homes.C. To spend an evening with them in the countryside.D. To invite them over to dinner at their homes.2. Why do most Americans prefer informal parties?A. Because they cannot afford formal ones.B. Because they have no servants to help them prepare formal ones.C. Because preparing a formal party will take up too much of their time.D. Because they do not like formal ones.3. Where do guests sit and eat at an informal dinner, according to the passage?A. In the dining room or in the living room.B. Wherever they like.C. In the garden.D. In the kitchen.4. According to the passage, what do people SELDOM have at a picnic?A. Cooked food.B. Cold food.C. Hot food.D. Fruit.5. Why is the picnic considered a more enjoyable form of meal?A. Because the whole family can have it together.B. Because a dessert is always served.C. Because people can be closer to nature.D. Because a baseball game is always arranged after it.DBACCPassage 14There were once many sheiks（阿拉伯的酋长）who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia. However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands.These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one. One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat. The first sheik gave her some stale （不新鲜的）food left over from the day before. The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail.。

泰迪熊学英语2010年Here is an English essay on the topic "Teddy Bear Learns English 2010":Teddy Bear was excited for his first English class. He had been studying hard and couldn't wait to put his new skills to use. He arrived at the classroom and found a seat, ready to learn.The teacher, Mrs. Smith, stood at the front of the class. "Good morning class," she said. "Today we are going to practice basic greetings and introductions."Teddy Bear listened closely as Mrs. Smith modeled different ways to say hello and introduce oneself. "Hello, my name is Teddy. It's nice to meet you." He repeated the phrases, trying to perfect his pronunciation.Next, Mrs. Smith had the class practice conversing with a partner. Teddy Bear turned to the bear sitting next to him. "Hello, how are you today?" he said."I'm doing well, thank you for asking," the other bear replied. "It'snice to meet you. My name is Fluffy.""It's nice to meet you too Fluffy," Teddy Bear responded. They continued their conversation, asking questions and sharing information about themselves.Mrs. Smith walked around the classroom, listening to the students' dialogues. She stopped to speak with Teddy Bear and Fluffy. "Excellent work you two," she said with a smile. "Your conversational skills are coming along nicely."Teddy Bear beamed with pride. He was so excited to be learning English and making new friends in the process.As the class continued, they moved on to vocabulary related to the classroom. Mrs. Smith held up different objects and the students named them in English. "Pencil," "book," "chair." Teddy Bear raised his paw confidently each time, eager to showcase his knowledge.The lesson flew by, and soon it was time for the class to end. "Great job today everyone," Mrs. Smith said. "I'll see you all again next week."As Teddy Bear packed up his things, Fluffy approached him. "Would you like to get lunch together?" he asked."I'd love to!" Teddy Bear replied. The two bears headed to the cafeteria, chatting animatedly in their newly acquired English.Over the next several weeks, Teddy Bear continued to attend his English class, making steady progress. He mastered basic conversation, expanded his vocabulary, and even started learning how to read and write in the language.One day, Mrs. Smith announced that the class would be putting on a small performance for the school. "Each of you will recite a short poem or passage in English," she explained. "This is a great opportunity to showcase your skills."Teddy Bear was both excited and nervous. He spent hours practicing his chosen piece, determined to do his best. Finally, the day of the performance arrived.When it was Teddy Bear's turn, he took a deep breath and stepped up to the microphone. "Hello, my name is Teddy," he began. "Today I will be reciting a poem called 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.'" He proceeded to recite the poem flawlessly, his voice clear and confident.The audience erupted into applause when he finished. Teddy Bearbeamed with pride, basking in the success of his accomplishment. Fluffy gave him a big hug, congratulating him on a job well done.After the performance, Mrs. Smith approached Teddy Bear. "Wonderful job today," she said. "I'm so proud of the progressyou've made. Keep up the great work!"Teddy Bear could hardly contain his excitement. He had come so far in his English studies, and he knew there was still more to learn. But for now, he was simply grateful for the opportunity to use his new skills and share them with others.As he walked home from class, Teddy Bear couldn't stop smiling. He was living proof that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. He couldn't wait to see what the future held for him as an English language learner.。
2010年BEC高级口语考试素材(2
2010 年 BEC 高级口语考试素材(2 As is know to all, it is very important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers.First,it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands. Third, if possible it may provide some incentives to its old customers.For example,it can grant a certain discount to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. Apart from all these, a company should design strategies to attract new customers and create transactions with them, to expand their customer base, so to speak.These strategies include product diversification and upgrading.All in all, a company should try its utmost to keep its current customers satisfied with its products and services,and at the same time it should stay ahead of the market through product and pricing strategies.2、How to fill a key vacancyIn order to fill a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure.It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience,attributes and so on.Having produced this profile,the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile.This might be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter.Having decided on the best recruitment method,the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through the company’s recruitment processes.This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis.This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want.Background Information3、Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesCareer planning:Even after a job is offered and accepted,career decisions mustbe made. On-the-job experience may affect the desired path. Aspiring to achieve a position above the present position is natural. The planned career path to that position may involve either a series of promotions within the firm or switching to a different firm. While planning a career path is a useful motivator, the plans should be achievable. If everyone planned to be president of a company, most plans would not be achieved.This can cause frustration. A preferable career path would include short-term goals,since some ultimate goals may take twenty years or longer. The use of short-term goals can reinforce confidence as goals are achieved.Career Development:the importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerIt is important a person to have a range of skills in the course of his career development. When he has a range of skills, he is obviously more competitive than those who don’t and therefore has more chances of promotion. And it will be easier for him to find a job outside his company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In addition, a person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way up to the top of the corporate ladder. 来。

2010年BEC高级口语考试素材(1
2010 年 BEC 高级口语考试素材(1 了解不同：中西文化差异的五种基本模式1.Different Communication Styles不同的交流风格The way people communicate varies widely between,and even within, cultures.One aspect of communication style is language usage.Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example,even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I'll consider it" to "definitely so," with many shades in between.Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication.Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures ; it also involves seating arrangements,personal distance,and sense of time.In addition,different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings.For instance,some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.2.Different Attitudes Toward Conflict对待冲突的态度不同Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing,while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable ; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist.In contrast,in many Eastern countries,open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning ; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict.3.Different Approaches to Completing Tasks采用不同方法去完成任务From culture to culture,there are different ways that people move toward completing tasks.Some reasons include different access to resources,different judgments of the rewards associated with task completion,different notions of time,and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together.When it comes to working together effectively on a task,cultures differ with respect to the importance placed on establishing relationships early on in the collaboration. A case in point, Asian and Hispanic cultures tend to attach more value to developingrelationships at the beginning of a shared project and more emphasis on task completion toward the end as compared with Americans. Americans tend to focus immediately on the task at hand, and let relationships develop as they work on the task. This does not mean that people from any one of these cultural backgrounds are more or less committed to accomplishing the task,or value relationships more or less ; it means they may pursue them differently.4.Different Decision-Making Styles不同的做决定的风格The roles individuals play in decision-making vary widely from culture to culture. For example, in the U.S., decisions are frequently delegated --that is,an official assigns responsibility for a particular matter to a subordinate.In many Southern European and Latin American countries, there is a strong value placed on holding decision-making responsibilities oneself.When decisions are made by groups of people, majority rule is a common approach in the U.S. ; in Asia consensus is the preferred mode. Be aware that individuals'expectations about their own roles in shaping a decision may be influenced by their cultural frame of reference.5.Different Attitudes Toward Disclosure对待披露/曝光的态度不同In some cultures, it is not appropriate to be frank about emotions,about the reasons behind a conflict or a misunderstanding,or about personal information. Keep this in mind when you are in a dialogue or when you are working with others. When you are dealing with a conflict, be mindful that people may differ in what they feel comfortable revealing. Questions that may seem natural to you -- What was the conflict about? What was your role in the conflict? What was the sequence of events? -- may seem intrusive to others. The variation among cultures in attitudes toward disclosure is also something to consider before you conclude that you have an accurate reading of the views, experiences, and goals of the people with whom you are working.。

2010英语一partbIt's amazing how time flies. Just yesterday, I was reminiscing about my childhood days, playing in thebackyard with my dog. The sun was shining brightly, and the air smelled fresh and sweet.I remember the first time I tasted sushi. It was a bitof an adventure, to say the least. The texture and flavor were unlike anything I'd ever had before. It was a wholenew world of flavors that opened up my taste buds.I can't believe I'm already planning my next vacation.It feels like just a blink of an eye since my last one.This time, I'm thinking of somewhere tropical, with white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Just the thought ofit makes me feel relaxed already.Last night, I had a dream that I was flying. It wassuch a liberating feeling, like nothing was holding me down.I wish I could stay in that dream forever, feelingweightless and free.Music has always been a big part of my life. There's just something about a good song that can lift my spirits and make me feel alive. Whether it's a catchy tune or the lyrics that speak to my soul, music has the power to transform me.Oh, and did I mention that I finally got my driver's license? It's been a long journey, but I'm so glad I persevered. Now, I can finally explore the world on my own terms.。

2010六级听力
Section A短对话（11~18）11W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. It’s located in a quiet building and it’s close to bus lines.M: That maybe true. But look at it, it’s awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?12M: The pictures we took at the botanical garden should be ready tomorrow. W: I can’t wait to see them, I’m wondering if the shots I took are as good as I thought.Q: What is the woman eager to know?13W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday? M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldn’t take too long.Q: What does the man mean?14M: This truck looks like what I need but I’m worried about maintenance. For us it’ll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?15M: I think your boss would be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation. W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him frankly I could no longer live with his poor management and stupid decisions.Q: What do we learn about the woman?16W I’d like to exchange the shirt. I’ve learned that the person bought it for allergic to wool.M Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way.Q；What does the women want to do？17M: Excuse me, Miss？Did anyone happen to turn in a new handbag? You know, it’s a birthday gift for my wife.W: Let me see. Oh, we’ve got quite a lot of women’s bags here. Can you give me more detailed information, such as the color, the size and the trademark?Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?18M What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfather?W I once intended to sell it, but now, I’m thinking of turning it into a guest house, because it's still a solid structure.Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?长对话（19~25）W: When you write a novel, do you know where you’re going, Dr. James?M: Yes, you must, really, if you’re writing the classical detective story, because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesn’t mean to say that I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.W: When you’re planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that you’re by yourself?M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can’t even bare anybody else in the house. I don’t mind much where I am as long as I’ve got enough space to write, but I need to be completely alone.W: Is that very important to you?M: Oh, yes. I’ve never been lonely in all my life.W: How extraordinary! Never?M: No, never.W: You’re very lucky. Someone once said that there’s a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it, watch it happening. There is this ‘detachment’ and I realize that there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and this detachment makes people feel there’s a bit of ice in the heart.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the key to write a good classical detective story according to theman?20. What does the man mainly need when working on a book?21. What does the man say about writers?W: There is an element there about competition then, isn’t there? Because British railways are a nationalized industry. There’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and buy another. But if you don't like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn’t have monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized.W: Do you think that’s a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized?M: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.W: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways happen being nationalized, they would simply have disappeared?M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion ponds a year. The German railways, 2 billion ponds a year. But you see, those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand, you’ve got to provide the best service.M: Yes, you are right.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does the woman say about British railways?23. What do some people who write to the man complain about?24. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways?25. What does the man say about railways in other countries?Section BPassage OneAmong global warming’s most frightening threats is the prediction is that the polar ice-caps will melt, raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded. Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet, a Brazil-size mass of frozen waterthat is much as 7000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up, the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock will blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean, it is also vulnerable, but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is. Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years, a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time, a million years is recent history. The proof, which was published last week in Science, comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and California Institute of Technology who drew deep holes near the edge of ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substances lying beneath the ice. They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice. As Herman Engleheart, a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says, ‘the West Antarctic ice sheet disappear once and can disappear again.’26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage?27. What did scientists disagree on?28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet?29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest?Passage TwoIt's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself. Try this: T ake a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request. Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service at the same time. But because changes aren't reflected across the content deliverynetworks immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks. In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time", though obviously that time can vary considerably.30. What does the speaker ask us to try out?31. What accounts for the failure of some websites to remove photos immediately?32. When will the unwanted data eventually disappear from Facebook according to the company?Passage ThreeEnjoying an iced coffee? Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer.The worst offender - a coffee from Starbucks -- had 561 calories. Other iced coffees contained more than 450 calories and the majority had an excess of 200.Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a man about 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight. Dieters aim for 1,000 to 1,500 calories a day."The fact that there is an iced coffee on the market with over a quarter of a woman's daily calories allowance is alarming," Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager at London-based WCRF, said in a widely-reported statement."This is the amount of calories you might expect to have in an evening meal, not in a drink."The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers."If you are having these types of coffee regularly then they will increase the chances of you becoming overweight, which in turn increases your risk of developing cancer, as well as other diseases such as heart disease." she added.33. What warning did some health experts give?34. What does the author suggest people do after they have an iced coffee?35. What could British people expect if they maintain a normal body weight according to the WCRF?Section CPsychologists are finding that hope plays a surprisingly vital role in giving people a measurable advantage in rounds as diverse as academic achievement, bearing up in tough jobs, and coping with tragic illness. And, by contrast, the loss of hope, is turning out to be a stronger sign that a person may commit suicide than other factors long thought to be more likely risks. ‘Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far,’ said Doctor Charles R. Snyder, a psychologist, who has devised a scale to assess how much hope a person has. For example, in research with 3920 college students, Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a more accurate predictor of their college grades, than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school, the two measures most commonly used to predict college performance.‘Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,’ Doctor Snyder said. ‘When you compare students of equivalent intelligence and past academic achievements, what sets them apart is hope.’ In devising a way to assess hope scientifically, Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. ‘That notion is not concrete enough and it blurs two key components of hope,’ Doctor Snyder said, ‘Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.’。

1这就是成功的内涵。
翘首幸福：请你一定记住的15句话Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlie r in my life; things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years—and most of those that I inflicted on others too.随着时间的流逝我们一直在获得新的知识，但是这些学问却往往在我们需要它的时候姗姗来迟。
很多对我早期生活应该极其有用的事情我却现在才知道，它们本可以帮助我在那些年里避免很多错误跟伤害----大部分事情我也曾经强加于别人身上过。
I don’t buy the romantic notion that my life has been somehow richer or more interesting because of all the times I screwed up; nor that the mistakes were “put” there to help me learn. I m ade them myself—through ignorance, fear, and a dumb wish to have everyone like me—and life and work would have been less stressful and more enjoyable (and certainly more suc cessful) without them. So here are some of the things I wish I had learned long ago. I hope th ey may help a few of you avoid the mistakes that I made back then. veduchina我不相信生活会无故地变得富裕而有情趣，那只是浪漫的妄想。
因为我一生都充满动荡和不安。
也不同意错误是已经存在于某个地方好帮助我们学习的。
那些错误都是我自己犯的- ---出于无知、害怕还有希望所有人都喜欢自己的愚蠢愿望----没有了它们我们的生活工作就会有更少的压力更多的快乐(当然还包括成功)。
下面有几点是我很久以前就希望自己能够了解的。
期待它们能帮助大家，即使是小部份人，能够避免重蹈我的覆辙。
1. Most of it doesn’t matter.So much of what I got excited about, anxious about, or wasted my time and energy on, turned out not to matter. There are only a few things that truly count for a happy life. I wish I had known to concentrate on those and ignore the rest.1.拥有一颗平常心。
太多我曾经为其兴奋，为其焦虑，亦或是浪费了我时间以及精力的事情到最后却被证明是无关紧要的。
它们只是幸福生活里极其微小的一部分。
我多么希望早点知道这些，以便能把精力都投入到这些关乎幸福的事，而不是其他。
2. The greatest source of misery and hatred in this world is clinging to past hurts.Look at all the terrorists and militant groups that hark back to some event long gone, or base their justi fication for killing on claims of some supposed historical right to a bit of land, or redress fora wrong done hundreds of years ago.veduchina2.这个世界上痛苦与仇恨最大源泉是对过去的执迷。
看看那些恐怖组织和激进分子，他们总是抓住过去的一些事情不放，或把一小片土地的历史归属问题作为他们进行杀戮的理由，更或是为了修正几百年前的所谓的历史错误。
3. Waiting to do something until you can be sure of doing it exactly right means waiting for e2 ver.One of the greatest advantages anyone can have is the willingness to make a fool of them selves publicly and often. There ’s no better way to learn and develop. Heck, it ’s fun too. veduchina3.等待有把握时再去做一件事，往往意味着永远的等待。
一个人能做的最大的冒险事情，就是乐意在公共场合经常暴露自己的愚昧。
没有什么能比这样学得更快。
“哎呀”, 也是一种乐趣。
4.Following the latest fashion, in work or in life, is spiritual and intellectual suicide.You can be a cheap imitation of the ideal of the moment; or you can be a unique individual. The choic e is yours. Religion isn ’t the opiate of the masses, fashion is.4.盲目追赶潮流是对精神和智力的扼杀你可以成为一个廉价的时尚木偶，也可以成为独一无二的你，这些都在于自己的选择。
信仰不是群众的鸦片，流行才是。
5. If people complain that you ’re too fond of going your own way and aren ’t fitting in, you must be on the right track.Who wants to live life as a herd animal? The guys in power don ’t want you to fit in for your own sake; they want you to stop causing them problems and foll ow their orders. You can ’t have the freedom to be yourself and meekly fit in at the same time.5.如果有人抱怨你太特立独行，恭喜你，你正走在正确的路上谁愿意像动物一样活着？那些强有力的家伙们不希望你按照自己的意愿去做，他们希望你停止给他们制造麻烦并听从他们的命令。
但你得知道，你无法做到在卑躬屈膝的同时又能活出自我。
6. If you make your work your life, you ’re making your life into hard work. Like most people,I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life ’s “work ” fills their time. That isn ’t work. It ’s who they are. Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you t o earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an e njoyable life. Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end. Only idiots live to work.6.如果你将工作等同于生活，那么你将为工作而生活和很多人一样，当看到那些艺术家和音乐家的工作几乎是全部的生活，我感到很困惑。
其实那不是工作，那是他们的自我。
除非你有无法抵挡的激情，恰巧也能让你从中得以谋生，否则请永远记住，工作只是一种手段，而不是目的，我们的最终目的是享受生活。
在实现目的的同时，尽可能地少花时间在手段上。
只有傻瓜才是为工作而生活。
7. The quickest and simplest way to wreck any relationship is to listen to gossip.The worst w ay to spend your time is spreading more. People who spread gossip are the plague-carriers of our day. Cockroaches are clean, kindly creatures in comparison.7.破坏关系的最快最简单的方法就是听信谣言浪费你时间的最糟糕方式是传播这些谣言。
传播流言蜚语的人好比瘟疫的携带者，相比之下，蟑螂都比他们干净、善良。
38. Trying to please other people is largely a futile activity. Everyone will be mad at you somet ime.Most of the people you deal with will dislike, disparage, belittle, or ignore what you say o r do most of the time. Besides, you can never really know what others do want, so a good dea l of whatever you do in that regard will go to waste. Be comforted. Those who love you will p robably love you regardless, and they are the ones whose opinions are worth caring about. T he rest aren ’t worth five minutes of thought between them. veduchina8.试图取悦别人是徒劳无益的做法总有些人会对你发飙。
