What channel?Viewer 3 Uh, anything but this.Voice-over These television viewers are trying to decide on a programme to watch, by clicking on channels, and seeing what's on. This practice isknown as channel surfing. In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV. There were only three channels to choose from. Cable television has changed all that. There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves. This business traveller doesn't like anything. Many people like a particular type of programme.Speaker 1 TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.Speaker 2 I usually watch dramas, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.Speaker 3 I like watching talk shows.Speaker 4 I guess of all my favourite TV showsI'd like news programmes.Speaker 5 I like to watch soap operas and news.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow!Unit 5-Listening inNews ReportA new craze is sweeping the city of Toronto, Canada. More and more board game cafes are opening in different neighborhoods.In some of cafes, customers pay an hourly rate to play tabletop games; in others a flat fee allows them to play for an unlimited time. On top of the fee, the cafes also require customers to purchase food and drinks. Most cafes offer hundreds of games, varying from classics like “Monopoly” and “Battleship” to European strategy games like “Settlers of Catan” and “Agricola”. They also have staff members to teach customers the rules of the game if necessary. This means that players are more comfortable exploring games that they haven’t played before.People enjoy going to these cafes because they can try out the games. It is cheaper than buying the games and then deciding they don’t like them.

全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程2Unit 1 Sports Part A]Listening StrategyIdentifying NumbersNumbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. The ability to catch the exact num bers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner. A good way is to pra ctice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. It also helps to practice writing down the numbers yo u hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into Chinese. You're going to hear a p assage about Michael Jordan, a retired American professional basketball player.Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers.Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He was born on Feb.17, 1963, in Broo klyn, New York. He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls tea m for the 1984 season. In the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score ever. He w as named NBA Slam Dunk Champion(扣篮冠军)in 1987 and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1988, an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998. Jordan guided his team to win six NBA championships during the 1990s, s coring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 NBA finals. In 1999, he was named th e greatest North American athlete of the 20th century. Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of th e 1993-1994 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball. Since his baseball game wasn't quite as g ood as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the Bulls in 1995. Yet, after playing for f ive more years, he once again announced his retirement in 1999. But he returned for two more N BA games in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.[ti:Unit 1 Part B]Listening Tasks A ConversationWhy Don't You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?Exercise 1Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know. I try to go three times a w eek, but I'm busy so I can't always make it.Peter: I know more women who work out than men. What's the main reason you work out? For y our health, or to look good?Laura: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration . Peter: If they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look bett er, and not merely for health reasons.Laura: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise?Peter: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a ti me but I never go to the gym like you do.Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?Peter: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV.Laura: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by m yself.Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, b ut only recreational swimming.Laura: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime? I can get you a guest pass. Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that. Questions1. What do you know about Peter?2. Where might the two speakers be having this conversation?Speaking Tasks Pair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with yo ur partner.Conversation 1A: What's your plan for this evening?B: Well, there's a good game at the stadium but I haven't got a ticket yet.A: I'm going to the gym. Would you like to come along? I can get a guest pass for you. B: That's w onderful. I'd always wanted to work out in the new gym. Thank you very much. Conversation 2 A: Hi, Xiao Wang. Fancy meeting you here! How are you doing?B: Can't complain. I'm busy with my experiments in the lab. But after work I often play some spor ts．A: Like what?B: Like swimming, running and sometimes tennis.A: Tennis? That's my favorite game. Say, what're you doing this weekend? B: Nothing particular. I guess I'll probably just work in the lab. A: Come on. You need to relax. What about a game of ten nis? B: OK.Conversation 3A: Are you doing anything special tomorrow, Bob? B: Not really. Why do you ask?A: Some of us are going motorcycling. Would you like to join us? B: Motorcycling? I've never done that. Isn't it a bit dangerous? A: Maybe, but it's really exciting.B: I enjoy jogging. It's more relaxing.A: That's a good form of exercise. It can help you stay in shape. B: Yes, it's also safer.Now make similar conversations according to the given situations. Use the structures and express ions above in your conversations where appropriate[ti:Unit 1 Part C]Test Your ListeningYou're going to hear five short conversations. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. W: I like playing basketball, volleyball and table tennis. What about you? M: Well, tennis is my f avorite sport. Q: What sport does the man like?2. W: You don't like boxing very much, do you? M: It's far from being my kind of sport. Q: What d oes the man mean?3. W: I think yesterday's football game was quite exciting. What about you, John?M: You said it. But it was a bit long.Q: What does the man think about the football game? 4. W: Do you like to play chess?M: I like the game, but I don't play it often enough. I'm afraid I'm not a very good chess player. Q: What does the man mean?5. M: I knew the names of all the football players and the dates of all the games in my high schooldays. But recently I have failed to keep up with football. W: Now you are busy with your golf gam es.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Unit 2 Food and Drinks Part AListening StrategyListening "Between the Lines"People do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen "between the lin es". The English language offers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their m eaning. To find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the m eaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says "I have an essay to wri te" in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the context that he cannot acc ept the invitation. And if someone says "Andrew passed with flying colors" in reply to an inquiry a bout how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom "to pass with flying c olors" that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meani ng of a message. For example, "He is very clever" said with an ironic tone means just the opposite . You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.Listen carefully and write down "Yes" or "No" to each of the following questions. 1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate? W: Yes, many times.Whenever my friends come to visit me, I'll take them there to eat. 2. W: Is there something wron g, sir?M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal. 3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.M: Next to beef.5. M: Have you tried this wine before?W: No, never. It's my first time, but it's really to my taste. 6. W: John, do you want a soda? M: Sod a? I think it tastes like medicine. 7. W: Why, the fish is left almost untouched. M: Well, it would be good if it were less salty. 8. M: Hi, Sue, would you like to eat out tonight?W: Oh, I'd really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..[ti:Unit 2 Part B] Listening Tasks A ConversationWhat About Dining Out?Exercise 1Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. Peter: Hi, Kate.Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been? Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask. Do you have any plan for this Saturday? Kate: No, n ot yet, I don't think so. Why?Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend? Kate: Tha t would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much lately.Kate: Me too.Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve somuch food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.Kate: Chinese food would be good.Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much o il or cream or heavy sauces.Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide th en where to eat.Peter: That's fine by me.Speaking Tasks Pair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording.

Where does the conversation take plac e?3. What will they order?Unit 3 Weather Part AListening StrategyListening for Important DetailsBesides understanding the main idea of a listening text, we often find it necessary to grasp the im portant details as well. What counts as important details depends on the kind of information we want. Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. In listeni ng to a weather report, on the other hand, the important details we should watch out for are the current weather conditions, temperature, and weather outlook. You're going to hear two short p assages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, t emperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down i n note form.Then complete the exercises in your book.1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in so uthern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. Th ere will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit . Look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers mov ing in from the west.2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday. The storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m. The winds reached speeds of over a hund red miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.[ti:Unit 3 Part B] Listening Tasks A ConversationDid You Hear the Forecast?Exercise 1Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. Alan: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It's starting to get cloudy.Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.Alan: That's certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.Alan: Yeah, sunshine — but not too much! Do you remember last year?Michelle: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the s un.Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold d rinks. And then we dozed off.Michelle: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off.Alan: But there wasn't. Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.Michelle: Well, we don't have that problem this year, apparently.Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?Alan: I don't know. I didn't catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short s hower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.

Use the structures and express ions above in your conversations where appropriate..[ti:Unit 3 Part CTest Your ListeningYou're going to hear five short conversations. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. W: It's been freezing for the last few days.M: Yes. And the forecast says there will be more snow next week, accompanied by strong winds. Q: What will the weather be like next week?2. M: We haven't had such a severe winter for a long time, have we? W: No, and the forecast saysit's going to get worse before it warms up. Q: What can we learn from the conversation?3. W: What if it rains hard? What are we going to do?M: I think it will clear up soon. But if it keeps raining, the whole thing will have to be cancelled. Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. M: How was the weather when you left New York?W: It was very much like the weather in Beijing. You don't have to take a lot of clothes. Q: What c an we learn from the conversation?5. W: If it is this hot tomorrow, we may have to give up the idea of playing tennis in the afternoon . M: The weather forecast says it will cloud over by noon. Q: What does the man mean?Unit 4 Music Part AListening StrategyListening for Signal WordsThe ability to identify signal words can help us follow the thread of the speaker's thought. People often use signal words or phrases like "but", "therefore" and "as a result" to add a comment that contrasts with what has just been said or to signal what they are about to say is the result or caus e of their previous remarks. Similarly, words and phrases like "for example", "most importantly", " first", "second", "finally" and "then" usually signal that the speaker is going to provide an illustrati on or emphasize a certain point or discuss several aspects of a certain topic. So we should pay att ention to signal words in listening as they will prepare us for what is going to be said. You're going to hear four short passages.Listen carefully and write down the signal word(s) in each passage. Then choose a, b, c or d to ind icate the function of the signal word(s) used in each of the passages.1. Most people like music. In fact, we are surrounded by it. It's on the radio and television and ca n be heard in stores and restaurants. However, not everyone likes the same kind of music.2. The manager of the music shop was called Brian Epstein. Because so many people had asked fo r a record by the Sun, Epstein decided to go and listen to the group himself.3. Firstly I would like to talk about classical music and its representative composers, then I will mo ve on to jazz music, and finally I will focus on pop music in the last century.4. We listen to exciting music and our hearts beat faster, our blood pressure rises, and our blood f lows more quickly. In short, we're stimulated.[ti:Unit 4 Part B] Listening Tasks A PassageBackground MusicExercise 1Listen to the passage. As you listen, read the signal words in your book and put a tick () in the bra ckets after the ones you have heard.Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. V ery soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music. To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spo t items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sale s. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving — unless, of course,the resulting indigestion leads to complaints. Questions1. Where was recorded background music first used?2. What was the original purpose of backgr ound music?3. What kind of music can have a powerful effect on customers in shops?4. Why doesn't the same kind of music work in restaurants according to the passage? Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with yo ur partner. Conversation 1A: Do you like English songs? B: I'm crazy about them.A: What's your favorite song?B: It's hard to say. There are so many beautiful songs. A: Who's your favorite singer then?B: Sarah Brightman, undoubtedly. I do admire her, you know. I love all her songs. A: I like her, too, but not that much. Conversation 2A: Do you care for opera?B: Yes, I do, very much.A: Which do you like better, opera or musical?B: Opera.A: Do you just listen to it or go to performances?B: I prefer going to a performance. It has everything, color and spectacle and great music. A: Why don't we go and see Aida together? It's being performed at the Grand Theater. B: I've seen it alre ady. It's excellent.A: Oh, lucky you! Conversation 3A: Do you enjoy listening to music?B: Yes, very much. I enjoy listening to music more than any other pastime.A: What's your favorite music?B: It depends. When I am in a good mood, I'd prefer something exciting, with a fast rhythm. But if I feel low, I can only listen to something soft and quiet. A: Mm, me too.Now make similar conversations. Use the structures and expressions above where appropriate. Y our conversations should include the following points.[ti:Unit 4 Part C] Test Your ListeningListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her pare nts, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had comp osed the song "It Was Only a Dream". Her mother and brother helped her to make a recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The ad dress was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first conquest, but there would be millions more. Celine's rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been steady, but not without difficultie s. Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, wh o mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albums won a great succe ss. And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record inFrance. In 1990, Celine made her first English language record with Unison but her real breakthrough in America came when she was selected by Disney to sing the theme song of Beauty and the Beast. The song went to No.1 on the chart and won both a Grammy and an Academy award. In 19 96 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997 she r ecorded the theme song for Titanic, and her name became synonymous with the enormously suc cessful film. Celine Dion's favorite theme is love. She sings the depth and the power of love in a gr eat many of her hits such as "Love Can Move Mountains", "Because You Loved Me", "The Power of Love" and, of course, the theme song of Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On".Unit 5 Health Part AListening StrategyIdentifying the Relationship Between the Speakers in a ConversationIdentifying the relationship between the speakers in a conversation is an important skill in liste ning comprehension. Although sometimes the conversation itself does not contain words that sa y exactly what the relationship is, we can rely on contextual clues to find it out. Such clues includ e the degree of intimacy (e.g., how intimately the speakers address each other, what endearment s are used), the degree of politeness (strangers tend to be more polite towards each other than fr iends or family members), and the particular situation (at a doctor's consulting room, at a shop, e tc.).Listen to the following conversations and choose the right answers to the questions that follow the conversations.1. M: What's the trouble?W: I feel dizzy and my whole body aches. M: How long have you been sick? W: Two or three days now.M: How's your appetite?W: I've got no appetite. The sight of food simply turns my stomach. What's wrong with me? M: Y ou seem to be generally run-down.Q: What is the mnost probable relationship between the two speakers? 2. W: What's the matter, Jack? You look pale. M: Oh, I feel terrible.W: Why? What's the matter?M: I have a splitting headache and a sore throat. W: Why didn't you tell me?M: I thought they might go away, but I feel worse this morning. I'm aching all over.W: Hmm. You feel warm, too. You must have got a fever. There's a pretty bad flu going around, yo u know.Q: What's the most probable relationship between the two speakers?[ti:Unit 5 Part B]Listening TasksA ConversationGoing to See the DoctorExercise 1Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to complete the statements. D: So what's your trouble?P: Well, doctor, I haven't been feeling well lately. My biggest problem is that I'm having trouble sl eeping.D: Have you tried any of the sleeping medications available? P: I've tried one or two, but they don 't seem to help. D: How long have you had this problem?P: Three or four months — it's been rather a long time now.D: Are you suffering from an unusual level of stress in your life lately? P: Not more than usual. My biggest worry is the fact I can't sleep. D: Well, some people don't need as much sleep as others. P: But I feel tired all day, so it is a problem for me. D: Have you been experiencing any other symp toms? P: I've also had a lot of indigestion lately.D: Well, you are a little overweight, aren't you?P: Yes. And I've gained about seven kilograms this past year.D: You really should try to lose at least that extra weight. Do you get much exercise? P: No, not ve ry much.D: Physical activity is very important.P: So what do you recommend, doctor?D: I will give you some medications for your insomnia and your indigestion. But I also recommend that you begin a regular exercise program.P: But I have neither the time nor the money to go to a gym.D: You don't need to go to a gym. A simple walking program would be very beneficial for you. I thi nk you'll find that diet and exercise will be very helpful in taking care of your recent complaints. Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with yo ur partner. Conversation 1D: What's wrong with you?P: I have a burning stomachache. And I feel like vomiting, too. D: How long has it been like this? P: Since yesterday.D: What did you eat yesterday? Did you eat seafood? P: Yes. I had some crabs at lunch and then I just felt terrible. D: Yours seems to be a minor case of food poisoning.P: What do you think I should do, doctor?D: I'll give you some medications for your stomachache and indigestion. And don't eat any seafoo d for the next week or so.P: I won't, doctor. Thank you.Conversation 2D: What seems to be the problem?P: I hurt my left foot yesterday. I missed one step while coming down the stairs.D: (after examining the foot) You have a sprained ankle. It's slightly swollen. How does it feel? P: Rather painful there. What should I do, doctor?D: I'll give you an X-ray to see if there is anything wrong with the bone.Now make similar conversations according to the given situations.

Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oUnit Three The Skeptical MindPart A Pre-listening Task (I)Listen to the facts and opinions about The Skeptical Mind twice and fill in the blanks with the words you hear from the recording. Pay attention to the sentence structures that you might find useful in your discussions.Facts and OpinionsNotedPreclude n. 排除Atheist n.无神论者1. Having a skeptical mind means keeping an open mind and basing your beliefs, so far as possible, on the total available evidence.2. You believe that everything is “explainable” in principle, and the only difference between a miracle and a natural phenomenon is that you are not able yet to explain the former in natural terms.3. Skepticism is essentially(本质上) a way of evaluating other people’s beliefsand forming your own.4. Skeptics believe that in matter of the intellect(智力), we ought to follow ourreason so far as it is possible.5. Skepticism does not necessarily preclude belief in God or an afterlife. It maybe true that most skeptics are atheists and doubt the possibility of an afterlife.6. It is a mistake to think that we ought to either believe in God or not believe in God because of the psychological benefits of doing so.7. Being a skeptic means being a mature adult who take responsibility for hisor her own life and who makes his or her own judgments.8. Sometime people’s opinions are influenced by the media and by what is saidover and over again.9. Skepticism is a primary tool of science, but unbridled(不受控制的,放纵的) disbelief is a threat to the development of science.10. However , it must be admitted that our actual knowledge of natural laws isimperfect and limited, so that the belief in the existence of basic all-embracing(包括一切的;包罗万象) laws in Nature also rests(倚靠) on a sort of faith.11. Apollo was the name given to any of a series of manned U.S. spacecraftdesigned to explore the Moon and surrounding space.Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o 12. On July l6, 1969, the crew of Apollo II-Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz Aldrin-headed off to attempt the first lunar landing.13. In April 1970 Apollo l3 almost ended tragically when an oxygen tank inside the service module exploded.14. On 19th December 1972 the return of the astronauts aboard Apollo l7 after the 6th successful Moon landing marked the end of the Apollo era.15. Over the past thirty years, many people have been persuaded that theApollo missions never actually took place and therefore represent the largest hoax in history.16. It would be quite easy for me to state that the people who believe that the Apollo Moon landings were faked are wrong or just mad.17. My present interest in Apollo is historical I love the details of how and why the Apollo spacecraft worked as well as the details of the lunar exploration.18. I watch astronauts carrying out experiments, picking up Moon rocks, taking pictures and so forth, especially during the last few flights to the Moon.19. But it wasn’t until later that I really understood how and why they wouldpick a particular rock to sample or crater(火山口) to visit.20. The Internet is quickly growing into the largest and most complex web ofinformation our world has ever known.21. There are few filters that separate reliable information from false and misleading data.22. We are presented with piles upon piles of ideas, claims and unusual phenomena without a tool kit to help us sort out the good from the bad.Part A Pre-listening Task (II)Pair/ Group Work - Additional question for discussion1. Do you think a skeptical attitude is important in scientific research? Why orwhy not?2. Are you a skeptical person? Give an example to show that you are or aren'ta skeptical person?3. Do you chat with strangers on a train when going home during the vacationin order to kill time? What kind of persons do you choose to talk to?4. What are the topics that you like to talk about with strangers on a train?Sample1. Do you think a skeptical attitude is important in scientific research? Why or why not?In my opinion, a skeptical attitude is not only important but also necessary in scientific research. Every discovery and every new theory must have a reason to exist and can be explained in a scientific way. For example, British scientist Isaac Newton had doubts about Kepler's discoveries about the universe, because Kepler's theory could not answer some basic questions, such as: "What keeps the planets in their elliptical(椭圆的) orbits?Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o On our spinning (旋转) Earth what prevents objects from flying away when they are thrown in the air? What keeps you from being hurled off (用力投掷) the spinning Earth?”With these questions in mind, Newton stated out to find the truth and in the end he discovered the Law of Gravity. (万有引力定律)2. Are you a skeptical person? Give an example to show that you are or aren't a skeptical person?Yes, I am a skeptical person to some extent. Take global warming for example, scientists say the Earth is turning hotter and hotter. Then I would not just take what scientists said for granted and I would ask why. I would compare the weather data collected about l0 year ago with the data of today. I would try to find out the reasons that caused the increase of the earth average temperature during these years. If the high level of carbon (碳) dioxide (二氧化物) emitted (发出) by major industrial countries is the main cause, I would probably join or support the international efforts to curb(限制) the emission(排放) of it into the atmosphere(大气).3. How much do you know about the Moon, such as its orbit, diameter , temperature and surface?The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, visible by reflection of sunlight and having a slightly elliptical orbit, approximately 356,000 kilometers (221,600 miles) distant at perigee (（月球等轨道的）近地点) and 406,997 kilometers (252,950 miles) at apogee(距地心最远的一点). Its mean diameter(直径) is 3,475 kilometers (2,l60 miles), its mass approximately one eightieth that of the Earth, and its average period of revolution(革命;彻底改变;旋转;运行，公转) around the Earth 29 days l2 hours 44 minutes as calculated with respect to(相对于) the sun.Part BListening Task(A)Notesswirl v. 纷乱地流传hoax n.骗局conspiracy n. 阴谋X-Files (X-档案) (美国科幻电视剧名)Mitch Pileggi (人名)Bill Kaysing (人名)testimony n. 证据，证明，证言Nevada n. 内华达州studio n. 摄影棚blundering a. 笨拙的Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o constellation n. 星座discrepancy n. 差异，不一致immortal a. 不朽的Reference1. Background InformationConspiracy theorists (阴谋论) like Bill Kaysing and Ralph Rene claim that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax. On 15 February and 19 March 2001 the Fox TV network aired a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?", hosted by "X-Files" actor Mitch Pileggi, that rehearsed (排演) these claims. Guests on the show argued that NASA technology in the 1960s wasn't up to the task of a real Moon landing. Instead, anxious to win the Space Race any way it could, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios. Thesuggestive (引起联想的) scenes in films like "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971) and "Capricorn (摩羯座) One" (1978) helped establish the Moon Hoax theme in American popular culture. The best rebuttal (反驳) to allegations(指控) of a "Moon Hoax," however, is common sense. Evidence that the Apollo program really happened is compelling(引人入胜的).2. That last bit was hard to swallow, …The last part of what she said was hard for me to believe, …3. the controversy (论战) that swirled (纷乱地流传) through the small townthe controversy that spread out like a swirl of wind through the small town4. the Fox Television networkalso Fox Broadcasting Company (FBC), an American television network with headquarters in Los Angeles. FBC distributes entertainment, sports, and talk programs and television movies to about 200 affiliated (隶属于) stations in the United States. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, FBC, also known simply as Fox, became the fourth major commercial television network in the United States.5. Conspiracy Theory…speculation concerning the existence of an agreement to perform together an illegal (不合法的) or unofficial actionDid We Land on the Moon?Last week my phone rang. It was my mother and she was very upset."Tony!" she exclaimed, "I just came from the coffee shop and there's a guy down there who says NASA never landed on the Moon. Everyone was talking about it ... I just didn't know what to say!"That last bit was hard to swallow, I thought. Mom's never at a loss for words.Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o But even more incredible was the controversy that swirled through the small town and places like it across the country. After a long absence, the "Moon Hoax" was back.All the debates about the Moon landing began on Thursday, February 15, 2001 when the Fox Television network aired a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" It was re-aired on March 19. The program was hosted by "X-Files" actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert. According to them, NASA technology in the 1960s did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon. Instead, anxious to win the Space Race any way it could, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios. Neil Armstrong's historic first steps on another world, the Moon vehicle and the American flag -- it was all a fake! Fortunately the Soviets didn't think it was a hoax. Otherwise, they could have filmed their own fake Moon landings and really embarrassed the free world. According to the show, NASA was a blundering (笨拙的) movie producer thirty years ago. The hoax believers pointed out a lot of discrepancies (差异, 分歧) in Apollo imagery. For example, pictures of astronauts transmitted from the Moon don't include stars in the dark lunar sky -- an obvious production error! What happened? Did NASA film-makers forget to turn on the constellations?Here's another one. Pictures of Apollo astronauts erecting (直立的) a US flag on the Moon show the flag bending and waving. How can that be? After all, there's no breeze on the Moon ..."One small step for man, one giant leap(跳跃, 飞跃) for mankind." These immortal (不朽的) words were spoken when American astronaut Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon in 1969. Or did he?Questions I.:Listen to the story and choose the right answers to each questions you hear.1. Why was the speaker's mother at a loss for words at the beginning?A.

Because she disbelieved the story and didn’t want to argue back.正确答案：B. Because she was so surprised at the news that she just couldn ’tRe c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o think what to say.2.

Pictures of Apollo astronauts erecting a US flag on the Moon show the flag bending and waving. How can that be? After all, there's no breeze on the Moon.6. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." These immortalwords were spoken when American astronaut Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon in 1969. Or did he?Speaking Task (I)You have just heart a passage about the Moon landing that happened during the time between 1969 and 1972. What is your opinion of the Apollo mission? Are you skeptical after listening to the text? Exchange views with your partner. You may to cover the following points in your discussion.1. When and how did the upsetting debate start?2. What was the theme of the program aired by the Fox Television?3. What were the two discrepancies in the pictures of the Apollo mission?4. What do you think of the arguments put forward by the hoax believers? Are you skeptical about NASA ’s Moon Landing? Give your reasons.The argument began on Thursday, February 15, 2001 when the Fox Television network aired a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" It was replayed on March 19. The argument was put forward by some conspiracy theorists, including BiII Kaysing. Kaysing claimed on TV that NASA's Apollo Moon missions were a giant hoax. During the 1960s and 1970s, NASA was so anxious to win the space race with the Soviet Union that faked all the Apollo Moon missions and fabricated(虚构) the films and photos of the Moon landings in a film studio.The program also showed some discrepancies in the Moon landing photos. One of the discrepancies is that the photos don't include stars in the dark lunar sky. The other one is that the American flag erected by the US astronauts was fluttering and bending. How could the flag wave on the Moon since there is no breeze there?In my opinion, this TV program was like a nuclear bomb. The Fox Television network is one of the major news agencies in the US and most people tend to believe what it says. If it said that the whole Apollo Moon landing was a big hoax, then people would tend toRe c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o believe it. This indicates that people are generally gullible(易受骗的) about what is said in the media. So l think the merit of this program is to make people think for themselves and help them reach their own conclusions based on the evidence.As for me, I don't think the Apollo Moon landing was a hoax. I have made this judgment on common sense and on the evidence that the astronauts brought back some Moon rocks. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. But in many cases, we can not see what is happening elsewhere in the world with our own eyes. Anyway, people should have the right to know the truth and should be skeptical about what is said in the media.

Unit 2Listen1-1If you're invited to an American friend's home for dinner, keep in mindthese general rules for polite behavior. First of all, arrive approximately on time (but not early). Americans expect promptness. Being a few minutes late might give the host more time to get dressed or finish preparing the dinner, so it's OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then. When you're invited to someone's home for a meal, it's polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candies are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food that you don't like or can't eat, don't make a fuss about it. If your host doesn't say anything about what you aren't eating, then you shouldn't, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit that you don't eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you've enjoyed the other foods and have had "more than enough" to eat. Don't make the host feel obliged to prepare something else for you. Be sure to compliment the host on the food that you enjoyed.Don't leave immediately after dinner, but don't overstay your welcome, either. When your friend seems to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.Listen2-1Americans are usually tolerant of non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become annoyed when a person pretends to understand but doesn't really. This creates problems when he misunderstands what is said. No one wants soap when he asks for soup. So if you don't understand what is said to you, admit it and politely ask the person to repeat or explain. All you have to say is, "Excuse me, would you mind repeating what you said I didn't understand."Second, it is quite rude to converse with a companion in your native language and leave your American friends standing there feeling uncomfortable because they can't understand the conversation. The Americans may also feel that you are talking about them or saying something you don't want them to hear. If you have to switch to your native language to explain something to a non-English-speaking companion, then at least translate for your American friends so they don't feel left out.Statements:1.Americans will get impatient if a person can't understand English.2.Sometimes it is wise to pretend to understand what one actually doesn't in order toavoid embarrassment.3.Asking for repetition or explanation is not considered good manners when talking withAmericans.4.It is impolite for people to talk in their native language in the presence ofAmericans.5.Americans may feel uncomfortable when they can't understand the conversation ofnon-English speakers.Mlisten1-1One winter day in San Francisco, a woman in a red car drove up to a tollbooth. The back seat of her car had a pile of colorful Christmas gifts on it. She smiled at the tollbooth operator and said, "I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me." She handed the operator seven toll tickets and drove on. As the next six cars arrived at the tollbooth, the operator told each driver, "A lady up ahead paid your toll. Have a nice day."Why did the lady do this As she told her husband later, "I read a card taped on my friend's refrigerator. It said, 'Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.' I liked that phrase and copied it for myself. Paying the tolls was a little act of random kindness I could do."Now all over the ., it is becoming a popular phrase. One can see it on car bumper stickers, on walls, and even on business cards. Random acts of kindness are easy to perform if one is looking for opportunities. In Portland, a man might put a coin in a stranger's parking meter just in time to save that person from getting fined for overtime parking. In Chicago, a teenage boy may shovel snow not only from his driveway but also his neighbor's driveway. Undoubtedly thousands of random acts of kindness occur every day.What are some senseless acts of beauty A person might plant flowers along a highway. Another might clean graffiti from a city park bench. Yet another might pick up litter from the street and put it in a trash can.You should remember this phrase and put it into action. Not only will you help others, but you will feel better yourself since you have helped the world to become a better place. And who knows The people you help might well be inspired to help someone else later. It's a "win-win" situation.Statements:1.The woman paid for the six cars behind her as a Christmas gift.2.The woman taped a card on her refrigerator that reads: Practice random kindness andsenseless acts of beauty.3.Random acts of kindness are not difficult to perform.4.One can see graffiti everywhere in the .5.People sometimes do good unconsciously.6.The world can become a better place because of the little acts of kindness and beauty.7.The people you help may well help someone else later.8.Random acts of kindness and beauty do good to all parties involved.Mlisten2-1Don't talk with your mouth full.Keep your elbows off the table.Say "thank you".Any of those sound familiarChances are, if you observe a parent, he or she has repeated at least one of those lines a few thousand times. Etiquette experts and people who work with children tend to agree that teaching the children good manners is more than worth the effort. Good manners can definitely begin at home. Veronica tries to teach her 5-year-old son Matthew about the importance of the Golden Rule in words that he can understand. "You need to treat people the way you want to be treated," she tells Matthew.According to etiquette experts, teaching by example is the best approach. By using good manners, parents can be role models for their children, who often learn by imitation. "At 2 years old, they're watching," experts say. "You know, monkey see, monkey do." They also advise parents to begin introducing their toddlers to simple words like "please", "thank you", "excuse me", and "I'm sorry"."It's never too soon to start teaching them," they say. "When they're sitting up in the high chair, you can start."By teaching children good manners and then helping them practice, parents are doing their children a great service. It's not just about being polite and well-mannered in the short run. Ultimately, as they grow and they're better-behaved, they'll go on to greater success in their lives and be better liked.But home is not the only teaching environment when it comes to manners and etiquette. More and more schools are looking for ways to instill good manners in their students.Statements:1.All parents try to teach their children good manners.2.You need to treat people the way you want to be treated.3.Monkeys are especially good at imitating small children.4.Parents should set an example to their children when teaching them good manners.5.Parents are helping their children in the long run by teaching them good manners.6.Both parents and teachers are responsible for the teaching of etiquette. Questions:1.What manners do parents teach their children2.What is the Golden Rule3.What is the best way for parents to teach their children good manners4.What's the appropriate time to start teaching children manners5.What is the ultimate goal of teaching children good mannersMlisten3-1(Four students are sitting in a dorm lounge, casually watching TV.) Wayne: You know, people lie to us all the time! That advertiser on TV just told me that all I have to do to be attractive is to drink the right kind of beer.I don't even like beer!Celia:And I've seen the same kind of ads for different clothing brands. I don't see how anyone can believe all of that stuff.Heather:It's not just TV ads. Religious leaders tell us that if we attend their church we'll be happy and politicians tell us if we vote for their party membersthe nation's problems will disappear. Not true!!Randy:I think most of us are smart enough to figure out that these things are lies.But it really irritates me when people have the arrogance to start theirsentences to others by saying "You need to" do something when they reallymean "I need you to" or "I want you to". That's a kind of lying too.Celia:You're right. In fact it's really rude because it implies that other people lack the intelligence to determine for themselves where their interests areand to act accordingly.Heather:My dad has talked about a person in his office who does this a lot. He's creating a bad work environment and it's obvious that the co-workers aregetting tired of being ordered around like this. They know what they shoulddo and want to do it their way.Wayne:I imagine that even the boss should be careful in this respect. If he's rude to his employees by implying they don't know what they're doing, they won'tput forth their best effort.Celia:Since we started talking now, I've been thinking about a friend I had in high school. She kept telling me what I "needed" to do. After a while I realizedit was her way of getting me to do what she wanted. Needless to say, ourfriendship ended. And it was a kind of lying on her part because she wasn'tsaying that what I "needed" to do was really what she "wanted" me to do. Ittook me a while to figure that out.Randy:I guess there are all sorts of ways to lie. We'd better watch out, right Others:Right.Mlisten4-1(Paul and Joyce are going to a movie.)Paul: Hurry up, Joyce. We need to leave now if we're going to get to the theatera half hour before the feature begins.Joyce:Why on earth do we need to be there that early The theater is never even half full. I've also been wondering if we should take the kids with us, even thoughMom is here with them.Paul:Leave the kids at home. We're not going to a kid's movie like Harry Potter.When I went to the movies that night you went to play bridge it looked likea day care center in the theater. Strollers were flying down the aisle, kidswere restless and obviously bored, so started whining for candy, and therewas even a fight.Joyce:My goodness! What happenedPaul:One other patron who was trying to enjoy the movie told the parents of some noisy children behind him to shut their kids up. The father of the noisy kidshit the complainer and that led to a fight. The police had to be brought in. Joyce:I'm ready to go, but you still haven't told me why we need to be so early.Paul:Actually I like to watch the people. For some just choosing a seat is a major decision. They stand in the middle of the aisle juggling coats, popcorn andCokes, almost overwhelmed by having to choose. You can almost read theirthoughts. Should I sit down in front, or will that be too close Is this toofar back That man is tall. I won't be able to see the movie if I sit behindhim. I'd love to sit close to the middle, but then I'd have to sit close tothat big group of teenagers. Oh, dear! The lights are dimming and I haven'tmade up my mind. I won't be able to see where I'm going.Joyce:You aren't the only one to notice such things. Many people choose their seats, find they are unsatisfied, so move. I've watched a few couples go from onespot to another four or five times before settling down.Paul:While we're on the topic, my other pet peeve is people who won't be quiet during the movie. They comment on everything. "What a cute puppy," they saywhen they see a dog appear. "I have a lamp like that at home but mine's red."And on it goes.Joyce:I don't like the people behind me to sit and chew popcorn noisily. It's possible to be quiet but they don't try. They just keep on chewing and thenstart on a big box of candy.Paul:So let's go! We'll try to find a good seat, look around us a bit, and then we'll sit down and shut up.Questions:1. Why does Paul decide not to take kids to the movie？2. Why was there a fight the other night？3. Why do some people find it difficult to decide which seat totake？4. What problem troubles the couple at the theater？5. Which of the following is true according to the dialog？Quiz1-1China is known as a state of etiquette and ceremonies. Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation such as "Civility costs nothing" or "Courtesy demands reciprocity" and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way and in his effort to catch it, he got hold of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved by the story as well as the sincerity. And the saying "The gift is nothing much, but it's the thought that counts" was spread far and wide.Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a salute. This tradition has a history of more than 2,000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and appropriate on some formal occasions. Bowing, to convey respect to the higher level, was often used by the lower like subordinates and attendants. But at present, things are quite different. Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting. To some extent this evolution reflects the ever-increasing pace of modern life.Quiz2-1Writing a thank-you letter after an interview doesn't just show a candidate's manners—it can also make or break their chances of landing a job. Nearly 15 percent of hiring managers say they would not hire someone who failed to send a thank-you letter after the interview. 32 percent say they would still consider the candidate, but would think less of him or her, according to a recent survey. The survey, "How to Get in the Front Door", included more than 650 hiring managers.Although most hiring managers expect to receive a thank-you note, format preferences differ. One-in-four hiring managers prefer to receive a thank-you note in e-mail form only, 19 percent want the e-mail followed up with a hard copy, 21 percent want a typed hard copy only and 23 percent prefer just a handwritten note.According to the survey, no matter which format you choose, it's crucial to act quickly when sending a thank-you letter to your interviewer. 26 percent of hiring managers expect to have the letter in hand two days after the interview, and 36 percent to have it within three to five days. Sending the letter quickly reinforces your enthusiasm for the job, and helps keep you top-of-mind for the interviewer.Statements:1.Sending a thank-you letter after the interview adds to one's chances of getting ajob.2.32 percent of hiring managers would not consider the applicant who does not writea thank-you letter.3.650 hiring managers advise people on how to climb up the ladder in their career.4.As to the format of the thank-you note, most hiring managers prefer an e-mail.5.19 percent of hiring managers want a thank-you note in e-mail form followed up witha hard copy.6.Sending a thank-you letter to the interviewer promptly is of vital importance. Quiz3-1One day many years ago, Swift Eagle visited some friends on an Indian reservation in central New York. While he was out walking, he heard sounds of boys playing in the bushes."There's another one. Shoot it!" said one of the boys.When he pushed through the bush to see what was happening, he found that they had been shooting small birds with a gun. They had already killed three. The boys looked up at him, uncertain what he was going to do or say.As an Indian bird lover, Swift Eagle might have given a stern lecture on the evil of killing birds or threatened to tell the boys' parents about their wrongdoing. However, he did something else."Ah," he said, "I see you have been hunting. Pick up your game and come with me."He led the boys to a place where they could make a fire and cook the birds. He made sure they said a thank-you to the spirits of the birds before eating them, and as they ate he told stories. It was important, he said, to be thankful to the birds for the gifts of their songs, their feathers, and their bodies as food. The last thing he said to them they never forgot—for it was one of those boys who told me this story many years later. "You know, our Creator gave the gift of life to everything that is alive. Life is a very sacred thing. But our Creator knows that we have to eat to stay alive. That is why it is permitted to hunt to feed ourselves and our people. So I understand that you boys must have been very, very hungry to kill those little birds..."Thus children were taught the values of their culture through example and stories. Instead of scolding or lecturing them, Swift Eagle showed the boys how to build a fire and cook the game they had shot, giving the birds the same respect he would have given a rabbit or deer. He told stories that pointed out the value of those birds asliving beings. What he did taught the boys more than a hundred lectures would have done, and the lesson stayed with them all their lives.Questions:1. What is true about Swift Eagle？2. What did he do when he found the boys killing birds？3. What did the boys do afterwards？4. What did Swift Eagle tell the boys to do？5. What lessons did the boys learn from this experienceSview1-1Tom: Hey, George. Still studying the textbooks, huh When are you going to relaxGeorge:I am relaxing! I happen to find textbooks interesting, especially the psychology course. This one is talking about some amazing experimentswith chimpanzees. Do you know, psychologists have taught somechimpanzees to communicateJess:What... you mean talkGeorge:No, they can't talk. They don't have the vocal equipment that we have.But they can be taught sign language, for example.Jess:Yes, they're certainly very intelligent.George:They're actually our nearest animal relatives. Do you know we share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzeesTom:Wow, that's a lot. We really are cousins, aren't weGeorge:So, what have you pair been doingJess:Well, while you were reading about our nearest animal relatives, we've been actually visiting them!George:What do you meanTom:We've been to the City Zoo, and the most interesting animal there was probably Phyllis, the chimpanzee.George:Oh, yes, I've read about her. She enjoys interacting with the crowds.Tom:She certainly does. She was really taken with Jess, for example, andI think she must have been trained by one of your psychologists,because she could do sign language.George:ReallyTom:Look, I'll demonstrate. Jess, I'm Phyllis, OK Let's show George. (Tom waves his arms above head and hoots.)Jess:(She laughs.) Well, first I waved to her and then she waved back. (Tom waves his arms again.) Yeah, and then I waved both arms above my head,and Phyllis did the same! (Tom waves his arms a third time.) But thefunniest part was when I put on my sunglasses, Phyllis pretended todo the same! (Tom imitates a chimp putting on sunglasses.) George:Yes, those are all excellent examples of chimps imitating human beings, though whether it can be called sign language or communicationis debatable. And Tom, you do a great chimpanzee!Tom:Well, whatever it was, it was really funny, and the crowd just loved it, especially the little kids.Jess:Yeah, it was really great, and up to that point it looked as if Phyllis was enjoying herself too. (She looks suddenly sad and uncomfortable.)But then something really rather gross happened.George:Oh What was thatJess:Well, there was a young man smoking a cigarette. Phyllis went up as close as she could get and started to peer at the guy. Then she startedto imitate him smoking, which of course made everyone laugh again. George:So, what was wrong with thatJess:Well, then the young man deliberately dropped the cigarette into the enclosure. Phyllis picked it up and started smoking it herself!Tom:Yeah, it was hilarious! You know, she coughed a bit at first (He imitates the chimp smoking and coughing.), but... but then she seemedto start enjoying it. And the crowd loved it!Jess:Yes, but I didn't. I thought it was terrible. I mean, smoking is not good for humans, it can't possibly be good for apes! I thought theyoung man was really... very stupid.George:Yes, there are notices up all over the place, aren't there You mustn't feed the animals, and certainly not give them anything harmful.Jess:But what happened next was even more upsetting. Phyllis finished the cigarette, and wanted another one. But the young man just lit one forhimself and taunted her with it, you know (She demonstrates taunting.)He wouldn't even give it to her, and she began behaving really badly. George:Behaving... badlyTom:Yes, she started screaming (He imitates the chimp being angry), and she's making threatening gestures, then she began throwing things atthe crowd, like... branches from the tree, or stones. It was as ifshe was being deliberately rude.George:Oh, come on, Tom, animals can't be rude. And she wasn't behaving badly;she was just reacting with aggression to a situation that wasfrustrating her. It wasn't her fault. She didn't ask to be locked ina cage, and have crowds come and laugh at her, did sheJess:I agree. I think the one who was behaving badly was the idiot with the cigarette.George:And you, what about your behaviorTom & Jess:Our behaviorGeorge:Yes, did you tell that young man he shouldn't behave like that to an animal, that it was cruel and possibly dangerousJess:(She looks shamefaced.) No, I'm afraid we didn't... we just walked away. I suppose we didn't want to get into a fight.Tom:Oh, come on, Jess, lighten up. It was only a bit of fun!Jess:I don't agree, Tom. I take George's point. No matter how intelligent chimpanzees are, they are still only wild animals. We shouldn't treatthem badly. It reflects badly upon us. We're supposed to be thesuperior animal.George:Excuse me a second, you guys, I just want to catch the news. I want to know the result of the big match. (He turns on his transistor radioand holds it to his ear.)(It sounds tinny in the background as Jess and Tom continue.) Tom:OK, I accept that it was bad behavior on the part of the guy with the cigarette, and I suppose we could have been a bit more responsibleourselves and said something. But after all, nobody got hurt, nobodydied for heaven's sake...George:Oh no! My gosh! Listen to this! (He turns up his radio.)News Reporter:... Phyllis was taken to the City Animal Clinic where veterinariansare trying to save her life. It appears that someone had dropped orthrown a full pack of cigarettes into the animal's enclosure, and thechimpanzee had eaten most of the pack. She is now suffering from acutenicotine poisoning. Doctors have administered a stomach pump, and saythat there is only a fifty-fifty chance of the animal surviving. Ata meeting in Scotland, the Prime Minister has met with the AmericanPresident... (The voice fades out as Jess turns the set off. The threelook at each other, shocked. )Jess:Oh, I feel terrible.Tom:Eating a whole pack of cigarettes! What a stupid thing to do!George:That's not the stupid thing, Tom. She is just an animal. The really stupid action was done by whoever threw the pack into the cage.Jess:Do you think it was the same guyTom:Don't know. Probably. (He sighs.) We should have done something, shouldn't weJess:(She sighs.) Yes. It was us human beings who have acted badly, not the chimp.George:But it's the poor animal that is suffering.Jess:Poor Phyllis. I do hope she recovers.Tom:Yeah. And I hope next time I have the courage to speak up if I seesomething like that happening again. Jess:Mm. Me too.。

Moreand more board game cafes are opening in different neighborhoods.In some of cafes, customers pay an hourly rate to play tabletop games; in others a flat fee allows them to play for an unlimited time. On top of the fee, the cafes also require customers to purchase food and drinks. Most cafes offer hundreds of games, varying from classics like “Monopoly” and “Battleship” to European strategy games like “Settlers of Catan” and “Agricola”. They also have staff members to teach customers the rules of the game if necessary. This means that players are more comfortable exploring games that they haven’t played before.People enjoy going to these cafes because they can try out the games. It is cheaper than buying the games and then deciding they don’t like them. Also, it’s like having a party with your friends—but not at your own house!1.What do we learn about board game cafes from the newsreport?2.Why do people enjoy going to board game cafes?

全新版大学英语听说教程第五册翻译
全新版大学英语听说教程第五册翻译我会告诉你昨天晚上发生在我母亲和我身上的一件有趣的事情。
昨天下午，妈妈带我去伦敦看牙医。
之后，我们去了一家咖啡厅。
当我们从咖啡馆出来的时候，正在下雨。
“我们必须坐出租车，”我妈妈说。
他们中的很多人都过来了，但他们里面都有乘客。
就在那时，一个人向我们走来。
他是个小个子。
他可能有70多个孩子。
他礼貌地对我母亲说：“对不起。
”他在一把高高的伞下。
“是？”我的母亲说，非常酷和遥远。
他说：“我不知道我能不能请你帮个忙。
我看到我母亲怀疑地看着他。
她是个可疑的人，我母亲。
小男孩说：“我需要帮助。
”。
"我母亲正沿着她的整个鼻子盯着他。
我想对她说：“妈妈，他是一个很老的人，他很有礼貌，而且他有点麻烦，所以对他很好。
但是我什么都没说。
他说：“我从未忘记。
“你从来没有忘记什么？”我的母亲问。
“我的钱包，”他说。
“我一定是把它忘在我的另一件夹克里了。
”“你要我给你钱吗？”我妈妈说。
“不，我会给你这把伞来保护你。
如果你能给我一英镑车费，就带我回家。
”“你为什么不回家？”我的母亲问。
“哦，我想我做不到。
我做得太过分了。
”获得雨伞的想法非常有吸引力。
“这是一把可爱的丝质伞，”小个子男人说。
“夫人，你为什么不买呢？它花了我20多英镑，但没关系，因为我想回家。
”“我不认为应该从你身上拿一把价值二十磅的雨伞是对的，我想我最好给你打车费。
”“不，不，不！”他哭了。
“我决不会接受你这样的钱。
亲爱的女士，拿起你的雨伞，把雨水洒在你的肩膀上。
”她拿出一英镑交给了这个小个子。
他拿起它，把伞给了她。
他说：“谢谢，夫人，谢谢。
”然后他走了。
问题：当她拿到雨伞时，她母亲为什么保持冷静和疏远？当老人向母亲求助时，叙述者的第一反应是什么？老人请她帮个忙。
