D 2. CExercise 2:Leaves are Nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.Passage 2Exercise 1: 1. C 2. BExercise 2:1. They are leaf pigments, length of night, and weather.2.

If this view were correct, the universe should have looked the same millions of years ago as it looks now. but astronomers have found that the old universe did not look the same as it does now. therefore, the steady state theory does not seem to be correct.The big bang theory states that the universe began in a massive explosion at a single point in space about 15 million years ago. If the statement were right, there should exist in the universe the cosmic background radiation from the explosion. Researchers have found evidence for its existence. In the 1960s, while studying radio signals from the Milky W ay. researchers at Bell Labs found their work experiencing interference from every direction. They discovered that the interference turned out to be the cosmic background radiation . So the big bang theory appears to be the correct.Passage 2Exercise 1:1. expanding2. gravity/ initial explosion/ in motion3. density/ matter/ universeExercise 2:1. c2. b3. d4. d5. cPart C1.

There wer e no goods on display; there was no shop-window: nothing but a number of empty shelves at one end of the room in front of which a man was stan ding on a raised platform, and shouting loudly that the greatest sale of the year was about to begin. I decided to stay and see what would happen.A harassed assistant began to pile all sorts of odds and ends on the sh elves: table-lamps, cutlery-sets, clocks, electric razors, crockery, vases, an d a large quantity of small packets all similarly wrapped in bright red pap er. When the man at the table was satisfied that a sufficiently large crowdof people had collected, he began distributing the packets, asking for the small sum of three pence in return, and declaring that the value of the con tents was fifty times as much.I paid three pence for my packet and was immediately informed that I should not open it until after the sale. The money I had given, I found, e ntitled me to bid for anything on the shelves. All these beautiful and extre mely valuable objects, the man announced, would be given away, simply given away. He was as good as his word, for he held up an electric razor and asked a young man (who from the look of his face needed it) whether it was worth six pence. The man had no doubt about the matter and was promptly handed the razor for the sum asked. The same occurred with a number of other articles.Then, instead of asking for small sums like six pence, the man began to demand larger amounts for “very rare, high-quality antiques”. The peo ple present, thinking that these too were being “given away”, soon found t hemselves paying a great deal of money for useless, yacht-like lamps and ugly clocks in carved, heavy frames. I decided I had better go quickly bef ore being tempted into buying something I did not want. I went into the s treet and opened my prize packet, only to find that I had been rewarded w ith a cheap bottle of scent.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1~5: C, A, B, D, B 6~8: A, D, BPart 3 NewsNews Item 1Authorities in Pakistan say a suicide bomber has killed at least 15 people and injured more than 22 others in a central part of the country's capital city.

He came to the United States with his wife, Helen, last September. Helen and Max met in Rome two years ago. Helen lived in Paris for a few months while she was waiting to come to the United St ates.They lived in New York City for a few months, and then the moved t o Boston. They had lived there ever since. At first they had not much mo ney and Max didn’t understand English very well at all, so they had a lot of problems. But both of them have good jobs now. For the past six mon ths, Helen has been working as the assistant manager of an apartment buil ding, and Max has a good job as an engineer. Since he began to work for this company, his boss has given him two promotions. So, he is very happ y with this companySection Four Supplementary ExercisePart 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 Bargains or Fixed Price ShoppingTranscriptOnce I have settled in my new job and new place I started looking for good places to shop around. In my home country, there was lot of bargai ning in almost every store. However, I heard that in the US bargaining is not allowed in large stores. Therefore, I started to explore different stores to compare prices. I spoke to some American colleagues and neighbours about the different shopping avenues. From whatever information I colle cted I could find out that some of the best buys could be made at the barg ain or discount stores. That was the first time I came to know about the b argain shopping in the US.From what I have learnt, your could make use of the following techni ques for bargain shopping Watch for sales. This is when items are offere d at a discounted price. The sale might be a set a percentage discount. Sa les are generally advertised. Be sure to always check the local paper issu ed on Sunday; usually all the sales for the week will be announced. Man y stores will also have clearance sales. Items on clearance generally willnot be reordered, so he store needs to make room for new goods. Often t hese sales are unadvertised. Great bargains can be found at clearance sale s!Look for and use coupons. These can be found in the Sunday paper, i n magazines, sometimes in the telephone book. A coupon is a little slip o f paper allowing you to get a small discount when you buy the specific ite m described. The coupon will say “Save 40 cents on any Pledge”, for exa mple. That means that if you present the coupon at the time of purchase, and if you bought the correct brand and size, and if the expiration date ha s not passed, you will pay 40 cents less for that can of Pledge furniture po lish. If the store is having a “double coupon day”, the coupon is worth tw ice as much (you would pay 80 cents less for a can of Pledge).Purchases can be made very inexpensively at garage sales and second -hand stores. Used items in good condition often can be found for a low p rice. Also, check newspapers and local bulletin boards for listings of use d goods for sale.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1~5: B, A, A, D, C6~8: B, B, DPassage 2 American CosmonautDennis Tito paid the Russian government $20, 000, 000 for the chanc e to travel in a Soyez space craft to the new International Space Station. His space flight will be launched on April 30th.Mr Tito says he has been interested in space travel since he was seve nteen years old. That was when the former Soviet Union launched the fir st satellite, Sputnik. This interest led him to become a rocket scientist. H e worked for the United States Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. H e left that job after a few years to start an investment business.Today, Ennis Tito’s company is among the nation’s largest investme nt businesses. Reports say he is worth about 200, 000, 000 dollars. So he can easily pay 20, 000, 000dollars for a trip into space.This is not the first time the Russian space programme has earned nee ded money by selling seats on its spacecraft. A Japanese television report er flew on Mir for a price of 12, 000, 000 dollars. And the American spac e agency NASA paid 400, 000, 000 dollars to send several American astr onauts to Mir.Mr Tito is now living and working at Russia’s Star City training area to prepare for his ten-day trip. Why does he want to go into space? Mr T ito says he has been on Earth for sixty years and the now wants to take a l ook at the planet form space.Exercise:Part 2 Oral WorkMark was a little too early. He stood in the road by the entrance to th e school and wondered what to do while he waited. Perhaps after all he s hould have come with Nancy’s two sons as their mother had suggested. But they were so much older that he, besides, they never talked to him. H e was convinced they looked down on him.He walked slowly into the school. There were already abut a hundre d children there, most of them moving confidently around in groups, obviously glad to see each other again after the holidays.

That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. c 3. a 5. d2. d 4. d 6. bTranslation1.当时我俩并未意识到这一点，但那就是我们之间开始拉开距离的日子，是开始在家庭内部重新界定劳动者的意义的日子。

One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport.Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1.This passage is about the early history of flying.2.The key words are designs, an Italian artist, fifteenth century, eighteenthcentury, fly, float, balloons, hot-air balloon, April 1783, airships, September 1852, aeroplane.Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueBuying a CarA: Good morning, can I help you?B: Yes, I'm interested in buying a car.A: Have you anything in mind?B: Not really.A: What price are you thinking of?B: Not more than £13,500.A: Let's see now ... Over there between the Lancia and the Volvo is a Mini. It costs £12,830 and is cheap to run: It does 38 miles per gallon. Or there's the Citroen, behind the Mini. It costs £12,070 and is even cheaper to run than the Mini: It does 45 miles per gallon. It's not very fast though. It only does 69 miles per hour.B: No, I think the Mini and the Citroen are too small. I've got three children.Isn't there anything bigger at that price?A: Well, there's the Toyota over there, to the left of the Peugeot. It's very comfortable and costs £13,040. It's cheap to run too, and it also has a built-in radio. Or there's the Renault at the back of the showroom, behind the Peugeot. It costs a little more, £13,240, but it is cheaper to run. It does 40 miles per gallon and the Toyota only does 36 miles per gallon.B: What about that Volkswagen over there, in front of the Toyota?A: That costs a little more than £13,500 but it's a very reliable car. It's more expensive to run than the others: It does 34 miles per gallon, but it's faster.Its top speed is 90 miles per hour. The Toyota's is 80 miles per hour and the Renault's is 82 miles per hour.B: How much does it cost?A: £13,630 and that includes a 5-year guarantee.B: And the Fiat next to the Volkswagen?A: Again that's more than £13,500, but it's cheaper than the Volkswagen. It costs £13,550.B: Hmm well, I'll have to think about it and study these pamphlets. How much is that Peugeot incidentally, behind the Lancia?A: Oh, that's expensive. It costs £15,190.B: Yes, that is a bit too much. Thank you very much for your help. Goodbye.Part 2 PassageThe Wrights ’ StoryOn the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, four flights were made, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright. The starts were all made from a point on the level sand about 200 feet west of our camp, which is located a quarter of a mile north of the Kill Devil sand hill, in Dare County, North Carolina.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity* of 27 miles an hour at 10 a.m., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer* at the Kitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.The flights were directly against the wind. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.After a run of about 40 feet along a monorail* track, which held the machine 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the ground, it rose from the track and under the direction of the operator climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached, after which the course was kept as near horizontal as the wind gusts and the limited skill of the operator would permit.Into the teeth of a December gale （逆风） the "Flyer" made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.It had previously been decided that for reasons of personal safety these first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible. The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering* in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms. Consequently the first flight was short.The succeeding flights rapidly increased in length ，and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 seconds was made, in which time the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and a distance of 852 feet over the ground.The landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the aviator. After passing over a little hummock* of sand, in attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder* too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected. The reverse movement of the rudder was a fraction of a second (转瞬间，顷刻) too late to prevent the machine from touching the ground and thus ending the flight.

Wright worked closely with his brother, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), American aeronautical engineer, in designing and flying the Wright airplane.During the years 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1903, the two brothers developed the first effective airplane. At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first successful flight of a piloted, heavier-than-air, self-propelled craft, called the Flyer. The third Flyer, which the Wrights constructed in 1905, was the world's first fully practical airplane. It could bank, turn, circle, make figure eights, and remain in the air for as long as the fuel lasted, up to half an hour on occasion.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1.On the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, fourflights were made, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright.2.Under the direction of the operator it climbed upward on an inclined coursetill a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached.3.Into the teeth of a December gale the "Flyer" made its way forward with aspeed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.4.The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty a wind and withno previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms.5 .In attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1.Four flights were made on the morning of December 17, 1903, two by OrvilleWright and two by Wilbur Wright.2.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity of 27 miles an hour at 10a.m., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer at theKitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.3.Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alonewith no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.4.The machine ran about 40 feet along a monorail track before it rose from thetrack.5.These first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible for reasonsof personal safety.6.The machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air in 59 secondsat the fourth trial.7.The early landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of theaviator.8.As winter was already well set in, it was not a favorable season for the trials. Exercise D After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1.Because they wanted to know whether the machine possessed sufficient powerto fly, sufficient strength to withstand the shocks of landings and sufficient capacity of control to make flight safe in boisterous winds as well as in calm air.2.(Open)Section Three NewsNews Item 1World Basketball ChampionshipThe semifinal round of the World Basketball Championship tournament is later today (Saturday) in the mid-western (US) state of Indiana.Argentina is the only undefeated team at the tournament.

To get here, the Maryland Terrapins had to beat three teams with great basketball traditions: Kentucky, Connecticut and Kansas.Now they face another, Indiana. While Maryland was one of the four top seeds in this 65-team tournament, the Indiana Hoosiers* were a fifth seed, and virtually no one expected them to reach the title game*. But they knocked off defending champion Duke in the third round, and in the semifinals they upset Oklahoma.Maryland coach Gary Williams knows it will take a solid effort to win. "Any team that's gotten to where Indiana has gotten, you don't look at their record. You look at how they're playing now, how they play. Any time a team plays team defense like they do, they have a chance to beat anybody. That's what concerns me the most, their ability to play together as a unit, because a lot of times you can play with anybody when you play that close together like they do."Indiana has 27 wins and 11 defeats this season. The last time a team won the national championship with as many as 11 losses was Kansas in 1988. Maryland has a school record of 31 wins against only 4 losses.

He would keep his dirigible tied to a gas lamp post in front of his Parisapartment and during the day he'd fly to go shopping or to visitfriends.2. Since his was the first public flight in the world, he was hailed as theinventor of the airplane all over Europe.3. But to bring up the Wright brothers with a Brazilian is bound to elicitan avalanche of arguments as to why their flight didn't count.4. His flight did meet the criteria: He took off unassisted, publicly flewa predetermined length and then landed safely.5. By the time the Brazilian got around to(开始考虑做) his maidenflight the Wright brothers had already flown numerous times,including one flight in which they flew 39 kilometers.Ask anyone in Brazil who invented the airplane, and they will say Alberto Santos-Dumont, a bon vivant as well-known for his aerial prowess as he was for his dandyish* dress and place in the high-society life of Belle Epoque Paris.As Paul Hoffman recounts in his biography Wings of Madness, the eccentric* Brazilian was the only person in his day to own a flying machine."He would keep his dirigible* tied to a gas lamp post in front of his Paris apartment at the Champs Elysees, and every night he would fly to Maxim's for dinner. During the day he'd fly to go shopping or to visit friends," Hoffman said.It was on November 12, 1906, when Santos-Dumont flew a kite-like contraption* with boxy wings called the 14-Bis some 220 meters on the outskirts of Paris. Since his was the first public flight in the world, he was hailed as the inventor of the airplane all over Europe.It was only later that Orville and Wilbur Wright proved they had beaten Santos-Dumont at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, three years earlier.But to bring up the Wright brothers with a Brazilian is bound to elicit* an avalanche of arguments as to why their flight didn't count."It's one of the biggest frauds* in history," scoffs Wagner Diogo, a taxi driver in Rio de Janeiro."No one saw it, and they used a catapult* to launch the airplane."The debate centers on the definition of flight.Henrique Lins de Barros, a Brazilian physicist and Santos-Dumont expert, argues that the Wright brothers' flight did not fulfill the conditions that had been set up at the time to distinguish a true flight from a prolonged hop.Santos-Dumont's flight did meet the criteria: He took off unassisted, publicly flew a predetermined length and then landed safely."If we understand what the criteria were at the end of the 19th century,the Wright brothers simply did not fill any of the prerequisites," said Lins de Barros.Brazilians claim that the Wrights launched their Flyer in 1903 with a catapult or at an incline, disqualifying it from being a true airplane.Even Santos-Dumont experts like Lins de Barros concede* this is wrong. He says that the steady winds at Kitty Hawk were crucial for the Flyer's takeoff, disqualifying the flight because it probably could not lift off on its own.Peter Jakab, chairman of the aeronautics division at the US National Air and Space Museum in / Washington, says such claims are preposterous*.By the time Santos-Dumont got around to his maiden flight the Wright brothers had already flown numerous times, including one flight in which they flew 39 kilometers.Even in France the Wrights are considered to have flown beforeSantos-Dumont, says Claude Carlier, director of the French Center for the History of Aeronautics and Space.By rounding the Eiffel Tower in a motorized dirigible in .1901,Santos-Dumont helped prove that air travel could be controlled.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionAlberto Santos-Dumont was a wealthy Brazilian aviation pioneer who came to Paris, France, at the age of 18 to live and study. He attempted his first balloon ascent in 1897 and had his first successful ascent in 1898. He began to construct dirigible airships powered with gasoline-powered engines in 1898 and built and flew fourteen of the small dirigibles. In 1901, he flew his hydrogen-filled airship from St. Cloud, around the Eiffel Tower, and back to St. Cloud. It was the first such flight and won him the Deutsch Prize and a prize from the Brazilian government. In 1902, he attempted to cross the Mediterranean in an airship but crashed into the sea. In 1909, he produced his "Demoiselle" or "Grasshopper" monoplane, the precursor to the modern light plane.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案Unit 1Text 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening.'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Ex. 2 1. took// out to dinner// neighborhood2. nicer than he expected.3. A couple of times.4. the importance of slowing down//his marriageUnit 2Text1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out todrive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidence Text2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise1：1.The house was decorated exactly the same as Mr. Stewart remembered it2.Mr. Stewart happened to be in the house when a postman came to deliver a letterto his father-in-law who had died 15 years ago.3.The old postman had called in sick that day, and the postman who came in hisplace was not familiar with the neighborhood. Other wise the letter would have been returned to its sender.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Unit 3Text 1Krimali (Part One)On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, Krimali, a girl of 17, had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn't quite right about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but were unable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn't know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Exercise 1: Ex 1 1-2 c c Ex 2 1-8 T F F F F T T FText 2Krimali ( Part Two)Krimali planned to rescue her family first, but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby."Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!"The woman refused. Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but stillwould not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman's face. "I'll be back!" Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby's mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved.Exercise 1:Questions :1-2 d bExercise 2:1. Because she was afraid Krimali might not be able to catch her.2. Because she thought the bed sheets could somehow protect the baby from being hurt if she failed to catch her.3. Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. To make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Unit 4Text 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.) John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic.Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation?Exercise 2:1. Because she wanted to understand each other's expectations so that potential problems could be avoided and they could live happily together.2. Cleaning up. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping.

Arguing?Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize.John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do youplan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.

If such drugs were present there, she reasoned, they might also be found near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms, which can kill untold numbers of people.The girl, then 16, began testing her area's river -- the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio and its tributaries over ten weeks. Reading scientific journals, she taught herself to analyze the samples. It was the most scientifically sound project for someone her age.Her experiment, one of the first of its kind in the United States, showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She received a $5,000 scholarship and an audience with Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science was sparked by walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff -- how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. "Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has won $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. "I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done," she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize. Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

By now just about everybody has heard the "Not for Sale" commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies. What many people don't know is that teenagers from West New York and across New Jersey worked on various aspects of the campaign, and even appeared in some of the advertisements. The campaign organizer thought it would be better than using actors if actual REBEL members were in the commercials.REBEL, which stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies, is a statewide youth initiative against tobacco companies. The movement, which began in November last year, carries the message that teens no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. Knowing that peer pressure on teens to smoke or do drugs is one of the biggest problems that teens face, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New York swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group."We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie, one of its founding members. "But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now."Exercise 1:1. Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies2. They launched an advertising campaign to call on youth to fight against tobacco companies by starting the "Not fro Sale" commercial on television and radio.3.

And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment. Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have? Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.Interviewer: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop. Interviewer: Really?Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic. Sam: All right.Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. What's the relationship between the two speakers?2. What does Sam mainly talk about?3. What do you know about Sam?Exercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends on the assignment one has. In his opinion the biggest pert of the stress is the fear of the unknown and patrol is the most stressful assignment.Text 2Stress ReducersInterviewer: Sam, you've talked about the police officers' stressful time. Now let's move on to the next topic. So far as I know, there's a connection between stress and illness. Do you think that there's a higher percentage of illness among police officers than in the general population? I mean, do they get more colds or anything? Is this really true?Sam: Yes, it is, and the stress level not only manifests itself in daily health --whether or not you've feeling well on any given day. It also manifests itself in things like ulcers, heart disease -- police officers tend to have a higher rate of heart disease and ulcers than people in other professions.Interviewer: Really? That's documented?Sam: Yes, it's documented. And also the divorce rate among police officers is much higher.Interviewer: Is there something that the police department does to help you deal with this stress?Sam: Yes, there are several programs that most police departments have in place. One is an exercise program where some part of your day is spent on some type of physical exercise. They've found that's a great stress reducer. Besides, there's also a psychological program with counseling for officers to help them reduce their stress. And there are several discussion groups as well. They've found that sometimes just sitting around and talking about the stress with other officers helps to reduce it. So, those things are available.Interviewer: And what do you do, personally, to help you deal with the stress of your job, Sam?Sam: Well, during the baseball season, I'm the biggest baseball fanatic, and I will either be reading about baseball, or listening to baseball, or watching baseball. Another thing I try to do is to get some sort of exercise every day. And then I work hard at keeping up my personal relationships, especially my relationship with my wife. Fortunately I get along very well with my wife. When I come back home, I can talk about my day with her, and then just forget about it.Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. TStatements:1. The dialogue is mainly about how police officers can deal with stress.2. According to Sam, most police officers enjoy good health.3. According to Sam, the divorce rate among police officers is higher than among people in other jobs.4. Counseling is the most effective program to help police officers relieve stress.5. Sam knows how to reduce his stress.Exercise 2:1. ... One is an exercise program, another is a psychological program with counseling for officers. And there are several discussion groups as well for officers to sit down and talk about their stress with other officers.2. 2)...He tries to get some sort of exercise every day.3)...his personal relationships, especially his relationships with his wife.Unit 7 The Business WorldKenneth: Hello, my name is Kenneth Johnson.

Suza nne: Urn, I was n ative speaker sta ndard in French and En glish, butI'd become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was only schoolstandard. I decided the best option was to study in the UK, and I didHispanic Studies at university, studying Spanish and Portuguese,with some Italian, and living in Manchester. Then I went to live inBrazil for two years, teaching English.Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six languages? Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasn't perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became prettygood!Interviewer: And then what did you do?Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to an interpreters' school and thengot a job in the United Nations when I was 28. Interviewer: And you've been there ever since?Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czech interpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987 andthat was where I learntCzech.Interviewer: And the eighth language?Suzanne: Well, unfortunately the marriage didn't last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday, got a joband stayed for two years, which was when I learnt Japanese. Interviewer: That's amazing! And now you're back at the United Nations? Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried on doing work for them whenI was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria and Switzerland,and I took a "sabbatical*" to work in Japan. They need people whocan understand Japanese. But, yes, I've been back with themfull-time for two years now.Interviewer: And your plans for the future?Suzanne: I'm going to learn moreOriental languages. It was such a challenge learning Japanese - it's so different from all the others. So I'll spendanother two or three years here with the UN full-time, during whichtime I hope to get a substantial promotion, then I think I'll go backand learn Korean, or perhapsChinese,and Thai - I'd love to learnThai.

FPart 2 PassageThe Clyde RiverRunning through one of Britain's biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow,the Clyde River* was poisoned formore than a centuryby the fetid* byproducts of industry.The waterway bore the brunt of （首当其冲）Glasgow's economic success during the Industrial Revolution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life.For the first time since the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a river that was once one of Britain's filthiest.The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumn at 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon inseven of the nine major tributaries.The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, bulat st year's survey was the first to show they've come back in healthy number.sAlthough commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fish's return is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the city's identity that two are pictured on its official coat of arms.The salm on's comeback is also a sig n of big improveme nts to waterquality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in rece nt years, salm on are very sen sitive to en vir onmen tal con diti ons and require cool, well-oxyge nated* water to thrive.The decli ne of Glasgow's main in dustries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was esse ntially fishless for decades duri ng the worst periods of polluti on.The closure of factories that had poured tox ins* and other polluta nts into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lighte ned dump ing rules, and moder n sewage process ing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air.With worries risi ng about the en vir onmen tal impact of eno rmous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good n ews for Scotla nd's fish lovers.Si nee the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to its history.The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important cen ter for importi ng tobacco, sugar and cott on from the Americas starti ng in the 1600s. Later, duri ng the In dustrial Revoluti on that bega n in the late 1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the country's great manufacturing centers.The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles andchemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular tourist destination.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionRivers are important to humans because they supply fresh drinking water, serve as home for important fishes, and provide transportation routes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted. Mr. Ban urged people everywhere to pressure their governments to take decisive action to cut carbon pollution.Organizers are hoping that up to a billion people from small villages in Namibia to sprawling cities in Asia will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.One of the architects of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley from the conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms."The global economic crisis has proved that we are a global community, so when America goes bad, we all go bad and climate change is going to be on a scale that is way, way beyond our global economic crisis at the moment and we need to put in place the measures to a) slow that down and ideally halt it, b) be ready for economies that will have to change. So, the longer we procrastinate the more we pay the penalty so we need to move quickly," he said.Earth Hour was started by environmentalists in Sydney in 2007. It encourages households, businesses and governments to switch off allnon-essential lights for 60 minutes in a show of unified concern for the health and future of the pla net.In two years, the eve nt has become a large global moveme nt and its aim is to create an eno rmous wave of public pressure that will in flue nee delegates at ameeting in Copenhagen later this year, which hopes to establish a new U.N. climate treaty.However, critics of Earth Hour have in sisted it is simply a symbolic gesture that will not affect sig ni fica nt en vir onmen tal cha nge.The eve nt will officially beg in on the intern ati onal dateli ne in the remote Chatham Islands southeast of New Zealand and will conclude in Hawaii.

Bananas are long and curved. Onions are round. But what if you could alter the familiar shape?Would a square tomato still be a tomato?Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits and vegetables so they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen. It can be done to some extent with traditional hybrid techniques. And as we hear from reporter Julie Grant, it can also be done by flipping a genetic switch.Ester van der Kn aap steps gin gerly aro und the gree nhouse. We're at the Ohio State Agricultural Research and Developme nt Cen ter in Wooster.Van Der Knaap points out short, round tomatoes - and some odd-looking long, thin ones.VAN DER KNAAP: "That's one gene. One gene can make that difference."Van der Knaap's team discovered that gene and isolated it. They call it theSUN gene. And they've been able to clone it in tomatoes.Van der Knaap's research could lead to square-shapes - something she thinks the tomato industry might like. Square tomatoes fit into packages better. And, overall, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.So far money for her researchhas come from the National Science Foundation - not big ag.Designer fruit shapes are gaining popularity.People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes they want for a long time. But this is not the same thing.Dick Alford is a chef and professor of hospitality management at the University of Akron [Ohio].The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks have been doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference betweencross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.Chef Alford watches students as they cut yellow crookneck squashand carrots.They're trying to make uniform, symmetrical shapes out of curvy and pointed vegetables. There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.ALFORD: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you couldget a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great."In a country that loves hamburgers, Van der Knaap has heard that request before. But the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. She says there's more genetics to be studied.“ Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes ”, Van der Knaap, “saywse'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And maybe then we'll get those square carrots. ”Exercise A Pre-listening Question(open)Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1. what if you could alter the familiar shape? Would a square tomato stillbe a tomato?2. Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits and vegetablesso they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen.3. People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes they wantfor a long time. But this is not the same thing.4.

Bananas and Onions are the examples known as much by their shape as by their color or taste.2. The hybrid or cross-breeding technique is regarded as the traditional way of changing the shape of fruits.3. The genetic technique which can also change the shape of fruits.4. They discovered the SUN gene and managed to clone it in tomatoes.5. Compared with round tomatoes, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.6.

Listen to two people talking about reflexology and complete the following chart.Woman: Did I tell you about the reflexology* class I’m taking at the Asia Center?Man: The what class?Woman: Reflexology. It’s foot massage? You know, from Chinese medicine.Man: Foot massage?Woman: Yeah. It’s wonderful. Here, let me show you what I’ve learned. Take of f your shoes and socks.Man: Are you serious?Woman: Just try it.Man: OK.Woman: The important thing to understand is that parts of your foot are connected to other parts of your body.Man: Yeah, my legs.Woman: No. I mean certain places on your foot are connected to other places, other parts of your body. So when you ma ssage a part of your foot, it’s good foranother part. For example, look at your big toe.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: The area on the bottom of the big toe is connected to your brain. Do you have headaches?Man: Headaches? Sometimes.Woman: So just rub the area on the bottom of your big toe. It will help your brain.Man: Huh? Huh. Actually, my eyes hurt more often than my head. My eyes get tired from using the computer at work.Woman: Massaging your other toes can help your eyes. Onthe bottom of each toe, there’s a small area. They’re round, li ke circles. Well, rubbing these circlesmakes your eyes feel better. It relaxes tired eyes.Man: Here? This area under each toe?Woman: Yeah. But that’s not the only place for tired eyes. If your eyes really hurt, find the area under your two sm allest toes … there by your two smallesttoes.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: It looks something like the letter “U.” Massage that U. It will help when you feel really bad pain in your eyes.Man: What else?Woman: Well, now move down your foot on the outside. Find the widest part of your foot on the out side, there’s an area r elated to your shoulders. Massage itfirmly — not so hard that it hurts, but you should be firm. This will help themuscles in your shoulders.Man: Like stiff shoulders, that kind of thing?Woman: Right. Now let’s look at the oth er side of your foot. On the inside of your foot, put your fingers near the top — on the inside, just under the big toe.Slowly and firmly, rub from the top all the way to your heel … to the end ofyour foot. This area will heal your back. If you have backaches, rub thislong, narrow area several times a day.Man: The whole inside edge helps the back?Woman: That’s right. How’s your stomach? Do you get stomachaches?Man: Not very often … well, sometime s, if I eat too much.Woman: Find the area in the center of your foot. It goes from the inside edge of your foot almost all the way to the other side. It’s almost like a small egg.Massage it firmly. It can help your stomach.Man: Here, in the middle?Woman: Right. You can work on your knees, too. If you have sore knees, move your hand to the bottom, outside edge of your foot, the sole of your foot, by theheel. Rub firmly.Man: You know, this is kind of interesting. But actually, you know what hurts the most? My feet. I get blisters* a lot.Woman: Blisters? Maybe you need bigger shoes.KeyPart 3 PassageEating CultureScriptB. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.Don’t Americans know that eating immoderate quantities of French fries and pizza can lead to overweight? Almost 80 percent know that high fat intake may lead to health problems,86 percent are aware that cholesterol* can mean trouble, and 88 percent know that sodium*may have negative effects on health.This leaves obesity* researchers struggling with the questions of why we eat a lot of fat when we know it makes usfat. What’s m ore, overweight is on the rise, even as popular culture continues to celebrate slimness, to the point of embracing fashion models as standards of female beauty.A couple of different societal forces are pushing Americans toward overweight, eventhough we value slenderness. First, broad changes have conspired* to make many adults feel stressed at home and work, from corporate downsizing to being a single parent. They eat as a form of release. People are eating more because it’s a form of gratification.Second, Americans live in the only country in the world where pie-eating contests are old-fashioned fun, and all-you-can-eat restaurants dot the landscape.Many obesity experts believe that cultural standards of slenderness are primarily embraced by white Americans, to whom slimness becomes more important with increasing income. Yet blacks, particularly black women, don’t necessarily buy into the slim-is-better philosophy.If there is greater acceptance of overweight among black women, it’s unclear whether it promotes their higher-than-average rates of overweight or results from them. One thing is certain: this high prevalence of overweight among blacks is not genetic. Obesity is not an issue for blacks native to Africa. The low household incomes of many blacks living in the U.S. may play a major role in their high levels of overweight. If you’re poor, you learn to eat foods that yield the greatest amount of energy for the lowest cost —that’s fat.Questions:1. How many Americans know that sodium may do harm to their health?2. What worries obesity researchers most?3. What happens to the Americans as popular culture prefers slimness?4. What have made many adults live under the pressure?5. Why do people eat more?6. What do white Americans consider slenderness?7. Which group of people do not believe in the slim-is-better philosophy?8. Which of the following is certain about the cause for high obesity rate among blackAmericans?C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA. Experts agree the key to healthy eating is the time-tested advice of balance, variety andmoderation. In short, that means eating a wide variety of foods without getting too many calories or too much of any one nutrient. Here are some tips that can help you:●Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods.●Enjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables.●Maintain a healthy weig ht.●Eat moderate portions.●Eat regular meals.●Reduce but not eliminate certain foods.●Balance your food choices over time.●Know your diet pitfalls.B. 1.

Listen to the news item and decide whether the following statements are true (T) orfalse (F). Then give a brief summary about the news item.The World Health Organization says society worldwide will experience major changes, with 20 percent of the population older than 60. The report urges governments to have policies that permit older people to participate more in society.In 2006, there were 50 million older adults in the Americas. That number is expected to double by 2025. By the year 2050, 1-in-4 people in the Americas will be over 60. Globally, 1-in-5 people will be over 60.The WHO report says that older people make many important contributions to families and communities. It suggests that these contributions are greater than the costs of providing elders with more health services.The report says societies need to adjust to an aging population. Communities need to become friendlier to older people. This means improving security for the elders and preventing social isolation* and loneliness.Health systems need to better serve older people. Systems need to provide more long-term care for conditions common in older age.Governments also need to develop long-term care systems that ensure people live their later years with dignity*. The report says that especially women — who often are the main caregivers for older family members — need more support and resources.B. Listen to the news item again and complete the following sentences.KeyA. 1. According to the WHO, 30 percent of the world population will get older than60.2. By the year 2025, older adults in the Americas are expected to be 100 million.3. The contributions that the elders make to families and communities are almostthe same as the costs of their health services..4. Communities need to better serve older people, be friendlier to them and permitthem to participate more in society.5. Women who are the main caregivers for elder family members should get moresupport.This news item is about the necessity of having long-term care systems for the growingageing population worldwide.B. 1. Communities need to improve security for the elders and prevent social isolation andloneliness.2. Governments should develop long-term care systems to ensure people live their lateryears with dignity.C. Health systems need to better serve older people. Systems need to provide morelong-term care for conditions common in older age.News item 2 What Is “Social Jet Lag”?ScriptA. Listen to the news item and complete the following outline. Then give a briefsummary about the news item.Do you often start your day feeling tired? Do you ever fall asleep at work? Do you sometimes just feel out of it —as if your brain is still asleep, even though your body is awake?If you answered “yes” to any of these questio ns, you might be suffering from what re searchers call “social jet lag*.” And help might come from simply changing your work hours.Till Roenneberg is a German chronobiologist. “Chrono” comes from the G reek root word “chronos” and means “time.” So, a chro nobiologist is a scientist that studies the states of being awake and being asleep.Till Roenneberg led researchers in a study at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. They studied “social jet lag” a mong workers at a steel company in Europe.Factory workers were given work times that matched their natural sleeping habits.Supervisors did not force the so-called “night owls,” people who like to stay awake at night, to get up early for work. On the other hand, supervisors also did not force early risers, sometimes called “larks,” to work late.Changing the schedules of the workers to fit their lifestyle improved their sense of wellbeing, says Mr. Roenneberg.B. Listen to the news item again and complete the following sentences.KeyA. A Study on “Social Jet Lag”The institution: Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, GermanyLeading researcher: Till RoennebergSubject of the research: Workers at a steel company in EuropeMethod: Factory workers were given work times that matched their natural sleeping habits.Finding: Changing the schedules of the workers to fit their lifestyle improved their sense of wellbeing.This news item is about a way that could cure “social jet lag” —changing workschedule.B. 1. “Social jet lag” is a feeling that a person usually has when he finds h is body is awakeand his brain is asleep. Therefore he will say he feels out of it.2. A person who likes to stay up late is called a “night owl”, while a person who gets upearly is called an early riser, or a “lark”.C. Do you often start your day feeling tired? Do you ever fall asleep at work? Do yousometimes just feel out of it—as if your brain is still asleep, even though your body is awake?Section Three Oral WorkRetellingHollywood Totem PoleScriptListen to a story and then retell it in your own words. You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key wordsand phrases.Screenwriters, as Tom Schulman quickly learned, have long been the lowest members on the Hollywood totem* pole.“If I had any inclination to get a big head, the Oscars cured th at,” he once recalled.“The presenter who gave me the award [for Dead Poets Society] was Jane Fonda. She had recently been in the news because she had started dating Ted Turner.Anyway, she handed me the Oscar and I made my little speech and we went together into the pressroom where there was a small stage in front of bleachers* filled with about 60 press members, who were supposed to ask the winner questions.Jane and I took the stage and she said, “I’d like to introduce you to Tom Schulman, who’s just won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Do you have any questions?”There was a barrage* of questions. “Jane, what’s it like with Ted? Are you getting married?” etc. And she said, “Come on, this isn’t my night, it’s Tom’s night. Please direct your questions to him.”So there’s a little pause and somebody says, “Tom,what’s it like getting an Oscar from Jane? What’s your thought —you think she’ll marry Ted?”.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageCancerScriptA. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.Cancer is the general name for a large group of diseases. It occurs when cells in the body grow and divide out of control.Our bodies are made up of millions of cells. Layers of cellsform tissues. Normal cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly way. This process helps keep our bodies healthy.Cancer cells grow and divide too quickly. The process usually starts when something damages the genetic structure (DNA*) inside the cells. Instead of dying in an orderly way, cancer cells keep growing, lump together* and form an extra mass of tissues. This mass is called a malignant* tumor. As a malignant tumor grows, it damages nearby tissue. A malignant tumor can take a long time (up to 30 years) or a short time (2 or 3 years) to cause symptoms.Cancer can begin in one part of the body and spread to others. This is called metastasis*.During metastasis, cancer cells travel through the body. In the new location, cancer cells create a new malignant tumor and grow out of control.Not all tumors are malignant. Some are benign, which means they aren’t cancerous.Benign tumors usually aren’t life threatening. They can usually be removed and rarely come back.We’re not exactly sure what causes cancer. We don’t always know why one person gets it and another doesn’t. However, we do know a lot about the risk factors for cancer. The more we know about the risk factors, the more we can do to protect ourselves.Risk is a person’s chance of getting a disease over a certain period of time. A person’s risk factors make up a person’s risk.A risk factor is anything that raises or lowers a person’s chance of getting a disease. Youcan control some of them, but not all of them. Risk factors for cancer include:● A lifestyle choice, like what a person eats;●A n environmental exposure, like smoke from other people’s cigarettes;●Genetic make-up or family history;●Another disease or medical problem.These things mix together with different effects on different people. Some people are more sensitive to risk factors than others. Just because you have one or even several risk factors does not mean you will definitely get cancer. And avoiding risk factors does not guarantee you will be healthy.Questions:1. What are our bodies made up of?2. When does the process of cancer cells growing and dividing start?3. What do cancer cells form instead of dying in an orderly way?4. How long can a malignant tumor take to cause symptoms?5. Where can cancer start at the beginning?6. What do cancer cells do during metastasis?7. How many risk factors for cancer do we know?8. What do risk factors mean to those people who have one or several risk factors?B. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA. 1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B 8. CB. 1. Cancer occurs when cells in the body grow and divide out of control.2. The process of normal cells helps keep our bodies healthy.3. No, not all tumors are malignant. Benign tumors canusually be removed and rarelycome back.4.

Just because you have oneor even several risk factors does not mean you will definitely get cancer. Andavoiding risk factors does not guarantee you will be healthy.Part 2 VideoStudents Invent Water Purification DiscScriptWatch the video film and answer the questions.The lab operates like a kitchen. They add this ingredient and that, mixing, weighing, pressing and baking.What’s created is called a MadiDrop —a ceramic* disc infused* with silver.When dropped in water, silver ions are released to purify the water. And, testing here at the University of Virginia shows clean, safe water. Beeta Ehdaie is a doctoral candidate at UV A.“It’s not just about making a really great technology that effectively removes or kills bacteria and pathogens*. It’s about making a low cost, simple to use one, tailored* to people in developing countries who don’t have many resources.”The students are experimenting with various shapes of MadiDrops to correspond with different sizes of water storage containers. So why did they name them “MadiDrops”?The word “madi” means “water” in Tshivenda,a language of Limpopo Province in South Africa. Here fifty women run a water filter* factory, set up by the university last summer.。

As we left there we stopped at a garage for a car check ... oil, the water, the tires, allthat ... petrol. And the mechanics spotted something. They said that our fuel pump was not working properly and it was quite serious ... it would cost a lot of money ... well, we were very worried.Friend(s): Were you insuredStoryteller: Well, no, we weren't and I didn't have that much money on me, you know.

It guides how employees think, act, andfeel. Corporate culture is a broad term（广义的术语） used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics（企业伦理，公司道德）, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement（宗旨）and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.How does a company's culture affect you In many, many ways.For instance:The hours you work per day, per week, including optionssuch as flextime and telecommuting.The work environment, including how employees interact,the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun orhostile environment - or something in-between.The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire*and things such as casual days.The office space you get, including things such ascubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display ofpersonal items.The training and skills development you receive, which youneed both on the job and to keep yourself marketable forfuture jobs and employers.Onsite perks（特别的待遇）, such as break rooms, gyms andplay rooms, daycare facilities, and more.The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you canask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as:What's it really like to work here?What skills and characteristics does the company valueHow do people get promoted around hereThe bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot oftime in the work environment ---and to be happy,successful and productive, you’ll want to be in a placewhere you fit the culture, a place where you can have avoice, be respect and have opportunity for growth.A：Pre-listening QuestionMany articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members".Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.B：Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Suzanne: Well, I think it all started with a really fortunate accident of birth.You know I was born in Lausanne*,Switzerland; my father was Swiss-French Swiss and mymother was American, so, of course, we spoke bothlanguages at home and I grew up bilingual. Then, ofcourse, I learnt German at school - in Switzerland that'snormal. And because I was already fluent in English, mysecond language at school was Italian. So I had a realhead start (有利的开端)!Interviewer: So that's ... one, two, three, four - you had learnt fourlanguages by the time you left school? How fluent wereyou?Suzanne: Urn, I was native speaker standard in French and English, but I'd become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was only school standard. I decided the best option was tostudy in the UK, and I did Hispanic Studies at university,studying Spanish and Portuguese, with some Italian, andliving in Manchester. Then I went to live in Brazil for twoyears, teaching English.Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six languages?Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasn't perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became pretty good!Interviewer: And then what did you do?Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to an interpreters' school and then got a job in the United Nations when I was 28.Interviewer: And you've been there ever since?Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czechinterpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987 and that was where I learnt Czech.Interviewer: And the eighth language?Suzanne: Well, unfortunately the marriage didn't last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday, got a job and stayed for two years, which waswhen I learnt Japanese.Interviewer: That's amazing! And now you're back at the United Nations?Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried on doing work for them when I was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria and Switzerland, and I took a "sabbatical*" towork in Japan. They need people who can understandJapanese. But, yes, I've been back with them full-time fortwo years now.Interviewer: And your plans for the future?Suzanne: I'm going to learn more Oriental languages. It was sucha challenge learning Japanese - it's so different from allthe others. So I'll spend another two or three years herewith the UN full-time, during which time I hope to get asubstantial promotion, then I think I'll go back and learnKorean, or perhaps Chinese, and Thai - I'd love to learnThai.

T 10. FPart 2 PassageThe Clyde RiverRunning through one of Britain's biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow, the Clyde River* was poisoned for more than a century by the fetid* byproducts of industry.The waterway bore the brunt of(首当其冲)Glasgow's economic success during the Industrial Revolution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life.For the first time since the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a river that was once one of Britain's filthiest.The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumn at 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon in seven of the nine major tributaries.The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, but last year's survey was the first to show they've come back in healthy numbers.Although commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fish's return is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the city's identity that two are pictured on its official coat of arms.The salmon's comeback is also a sign of big improvements to water quality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in recent years, salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated*water to thrive.The decline of Glasgow's main industries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was essentially fishless for decades during the worst periods of pollution.The closure of factories that had poured toxins* and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lightened dumping rules, and modern sewage processing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air.With worries rising about the environmental impact of enormous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good news for Scotland's fish lovers.Since the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to its history.The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s. Later, during the Industrial Revolution that began in the late 1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the country's great manufacturing centers.The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular touristdestination.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionRivers are important to humans because they supply fresh drinking water, serve as home for important fishes, and provide transportation routes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1)Salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated water to thrive.2)The closure of factories that had poured toxins and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly and modern sewage processing plant s（污水处理厂）helped eliminate some of the foul smells.3)The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s.4)The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.5)When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation（社会剥夺）and rough streets.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.l.A 2.

A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of theyear will focus on ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud (世界气象组织秘书长贾侯)says countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate. They must be able to respond to a world that is likely to experience more extreme weather events, such as floods and hurricanes.Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adapt to a dryer climate. He says they might have to modify irrigation systems or consider growing crops that do not require much rain.He says global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Therefore, better and more timely information on these phenomena are essential to make decisions on climate variability and change. To do this, he says, weather observation networks must be strengthened.The WMO chief says climate change is a global problem. And, everyone needs everyone else to solve this problem.

An unexpected discovery at the southern end of the reef has provided some rare good news for researchers.Researchers found that coral in the Keppel Islands offQueensland, which was damaged by bleaching in 2006 and then smothered by seaweed that overgrew the reef, has managed to repair itself.Experts say to see reefs bounce back from mass coral bleaching in less than a decade is highly unusual.Like other coral systems, the Great Barrier Reef is facing a range of environmental threats. Scientists say their capacity to recovery from damage inflicted by warmer waters, for example, will be critical to its future health.The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's premier tourist attractions.

Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted. Mr. Ban urged people everywhere to pressure their governments to take decisive action to cut carbon pollution.Organizers are hoping that up to a billion people from small villages in Namibia to sprawling cities in Asia will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.One of the architects of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley from theconservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms."The global economic crisis has proved that we are a global community, so when America goes bad, we all go bad and climate change is going to be on a scale that is way, way beyond ourglobal economic crisis at the moment and we need to put in place the measures to a) slow that down and ideally halt it, b) be ready for economies that will have to change. So, the longer we procrastinate the more we pay the penalty so we need to move quickly," he said.Earth Hour was started by environmentalists in Sydney in 2007. It encourages households, businesses and governments to switch off all non-essential lights for 60 minutes in a show of unified concern for the health and future of the planet.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and its aim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year, which hopes to establish a new U.N. climate treaty.However, critics of Earth Hour have insisted it is simply a symbolic gesture that will not affect significant environmental change.The event will officially begin on the international dateline in the remote Chatham Islands southeast of New Zealand and will conclude in Hawaii.Exercise A: Directions: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a global event known as Earth Hour.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Scotland's Edinburgh Castle, the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing and the pyramids in Egypt will join the Sydney Opera House ind imming their lights as part of Earth Hour.2.Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted./doc/dd1245122.html,anizers are hoping that up to a billion people will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.4.Andy Ridley, One of the architects of Earth Hour, says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms.5.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and its aim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year.Part 2 PassageLab produces shape-shifting fruits and vegetables Many fruits and vegetables we know almost as much by their。

He is talking about his small cottage in the Welsh mountains:"And that brings me to say what is primitive about it, namely, it is anything that has to be done, and there are obviously certain basic needs of life, is 'DIY' as they say: Do it yourself. There is no labor to be had nowadays in such a remote part. Er, there are no neighbors for most of the year and so you are on your own entirely. The place itself is extremely primitive. Er, I mentioned the water. I mentioned that we now have got electricity. Er, the building itself - it's important to keep it clean and it's stupid totry. We try to keep it tidy, and reasonably clean. It is very difficult to keep it warm, warm enough particularly in winter and that we do by an old kitchen range with coal and wood." ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and find its topic sentence. The topic sentence is "The place itself is extremely primitive."Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart1 DialogueA Healthy LifeDr Martin Answay writes a column in a popular women's magazine on health problems. He is also an expert on heart disease.Q: Is there a secret to good health? I mean, is there some way we can achieve it which is not generally known?A: It certainly isn't a secret. However, there is a great deal of ignorance, even among supposedly educated people, about how to be reasonably healthy.Q: Well, what advice do you give, then?A: Vh ... to begin with, take diet. I believe that one of the greatest dangers to health in Britain and other countries ...particularly developed countries ... is the kind of food wetend to prefer.Q: Such as?A: Such as that great national institution, the British breakfast, for example, ham and eggs. Or the kind of lunch so many people in this country have: sausage and chips! Or all the convenience foods like hamburgers. Or even things we regard as "healthy", such as full-fat milk. Or Cheddar cheese.The list is endless.Q: What's wrong with those things?A: The excessive consumption of such things leads to the overproduction of cholesterol, which in turn results in heart attack ...Q: Excuse me, but what exactly is cholesterol?A: It's a ... wax-like substance ... yellowish ... and it's produced naturally in our livers. We all need some cholesterol forsurvival.Q: Well, if we need it, in what way is it bad for us?A: Too much of it is bad for us. It builds up in our arteries, causing them to get narrower, so that our blood supply has difficulty in getting through ... and this, of course, can eventually end in a heart attack or stroke. The point I'm trying to make here is that, even though we all need some cholesterol in order to insulate our nerves, and to produce cellmembranes and hormones, the things many of us eat and even consider healthy lead to the overproduction of cholesterol. And this is very dangerous.Q: How can we avoid this overproduction of cholesterol?A: By cutting down our consumption of animal fats: things like red meat, cheese, eggs, and so on. And by increasing ourconsumption of fresh fruit and vegetables, and also by eating more potatoes, rice, pasta and bread.Q: Pasta? Potatoes? But ... aren't such things fattening?A: Nonsense. It isn't pasta, potatoes or bread that makes us fat.It's what we put on such things! Cheese, Butter, Meat!Q: So anything we like, anything that's delicious, is bad for us.Isn't that what you're saying?A: Rubbish! I'm simply saying we eat too much of these things.And there are many ways of preparing delicious food without using such large quantities of animal fats.Q: Last of all, what about exercise? You recently warned against certain forms of exercise, which you said could bedangerous.A: What I said was that if people aren't used to getting regular and vigorous exercise, they should begin slowly, and not try to do too much at the beginning! I also said that certaingames, such as squash, can be dangerous, particularly if you aren't used to playing them. A number of injuries are due to sudden, twisting movements that games like squash involve. Q: What kinds of exercise do you recommend, then?A: Gentle jogging, swimming, cycling, brisk walking ... exercise that is rhythmic and gentle, and above all, sustained. That is, done for at least fifteen minutes uninterruptedly at least three times a week. We all need such exercise, and the fact is that far too few of us get enough of it, particularly if we live in large cities and regularly use cars.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and complete the following grids.A.

ExercisePart 2 PassageAging of America1)T he impending collision between the boomers and the nation's retirement system is naturally catching the eye of policymakers and the boomers themselves.2)R etirement income security in the United States has traditionally been based on the so-called three-legged stool: Social Security, private pensions, and other personal saving.3)R etirement planning takes time, and these issues need to be addressed sooner rather than later.4)O ne found that in 1991 the median household headed by a65-69-year-old had financial assets of only $14,000, but expanding the measure to include Social Security, pensions, housing, and other wealth boosts median wealth to about $270,000.5)O nly one or two generations of Americans have hadlengthy retirements, and the crucial retirement issueskeep changing rapidly, making long-term predictionseven harder.The Baby Boom* generation - the roughly 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964has been reshaping American society for five decades. From jamming the nation's schools in the 1950s and 1960s, tocrowding labor markets and housing markets in the 1970s and 1980s, to affecting consumption patterns almost continuously, boomers have altered economic patterns and institutions at each stage of their lives. Now that the leading edge of the generation has turned 50, the impending collision between the boomers and the nation's retirement system is naturally catching the eye of policymakers and the boomers themselves.Retirement income security in the United States has traditionally been based on the so-called three-legged stool: Social Security, private pensions, and other personal saving. Since World War II the system has served the elderly well: The poverty rate among elderly households fell from 35 percent in 1959 to 11 percent in 1995 .Are the baby boomers making adequate preparations for retirement? In part, the answer depends on what is meant by "adequate". One definition is to have enough resources to maintain pre-retirement living standards in retirement. A rule of thumb* often used by financial planners is that retirees should be able to meet this goal by replacing 60-80 percent of pre-retirement income.Retired households can maintain their pre-retirement standard of living with less income because they havemore leisure time, fewer household members, and lower expenses. Taxes are lower because retirees escape payroll taxes and the income tax is progressive. And mortgages have, for the most part, been paid off. On theother hand, older households may face higher and more uncertain medical expenses, even though they are covered by Medicare.From a public policy perspective, assuring that retirees maintain 100 percent of pre-retirement living standards may be overly ambitious. But should policymakers aim to ensure that they maintain 90 percent of their living standards? Or that they stay out of poverty? Or use some other criterion? Retirement planning takes time, and these issues need to be addressed sooner rather than later.A second big question is how to measure how well baby boomers are preparing for retirement. Studies that focus only on personal saving put aside for retirement yield bleak conclusions. One found that in 1991 the median household headed by a65-69-year-old had financial asset of only $14,000. Butexpanding the measure to include Social Security, pensions, housing, and other wealth boosts median wealth to about $270,000.A third issue - crucial but as yet little explored - iswhich baby boomers are not provided adequately for retirement and how big the gap is between what theyhave and what they shouldhave. Some boomers are doing extremely well, others quite poorly. Summary averages for an entire generation may not be useful as descriptions of the problem or as suggestions for policy.The uncertain prospects for the baby boomers in retirement are particularly troubling because, as a society, we as yet understand little about the dynamics of retirement. Only one or two generations of Americans have had lengthy retirements, and the crucial retirement issues - health care, asset markets, Social Security, life span - keep changing rapidly, making long-term predictions even harder.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionAs China's aging population is increasing rapidly, there should be a well-funded pension system put in place. However, the country's pension system only covers a fraction of the workforce. It predicts that China will have an elderly population of about 400 million by 2040, which will be a large burden on the economy if an effective pension system is not established.The Chinese government, aware that the old pension system in the planned economy could not keep pace with the market economy, started to reform a purely "pay-as-you-go" pension system in 1997 and introduced one that combines a basic pension with personal savings accounts. The accounts are jointly paid into by employers and employees, as saving to support employees' retirements. The state is considering expanding a reformed pension insurance system nationwide.China is also accelerating the reform of China's pension system.It has been trying to find appropriate ways to invest pension funds in the capital market rather than simply putting them in banks or buying treasury bonds.It has also been trying to find appropriate ways to invest pension funds in the capital market overseas.To ensure the maintenance and appreciation of the pension pool, more investment tools should be allowed, with sound governance and parallel reform in the financial sector to ensure returns.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.
