新视野大学英语读写教程第二册(第二版)Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country If it does not, and if you don’t think you w ould like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 2 第二单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhen I think back about the many people who have influenced me during my life, I often think of one person who showed his passion through his commitment to my success. I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 3 第三单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesGail and Mark were from different cultural and racial background. They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be mar rying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark wasmarrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable. After all, marriage across nations may have its problem of one kind or another.1. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be marrying for the wrong reason.2. Mark wanted to marry Gail so that he could remain in the United States.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 4 第四单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wrote a story about love, and I hope you like it. The story is about a young soldier who is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with. I suppose it’s a lot like my other stories in that it has a happy ending. You might laugh at me for writing stories that are so sweet. But, you see, I am a deep believer in love, and I am hopeful about everyone finding it. Without love, I really don’t know what the purpose of living would be.4. He is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with.5. A happy ending.6. (Open-ended.)Unit 5第五单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesToday, I want to talk about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2. To reduce children’s access to tobacco pro ducts, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to your people.3. ( Open-ended)自由作答,陈述各自的观点.Unit 6 第六单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesPre-reading ActivitiesThere are various reasons for our final decision on what name to give to a baby. For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follows the child throughout his or her life. How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when th e child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.1.Meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child.2. Three. Get opinions of people around.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 7 第七单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesStress can kill you. Being tense can damage your heart, so it is wise to take charge of your life and realize you cannot control everything. But you can control stress which is caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, and lack of control. Anger may also be the root of this stress, especially for hard-working professional women and people with no goals in life. To relax and take control of your life, try the NICE factors: new, interesting, challenging experiences. And follow Ben Franklin’s example by writing down the major goals you want to achieve in your life. For the problems over which you have no control, you have to learn to go with the flow. can be caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, lack of control, and anger..2. The NICE factors are new, interesting, challenging experiences.3. (open-ended.)Unit 8 第八单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhat is life about We work hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we w ill realize that we don’t really need that much. We then willrealize how much we have missed in life! Work definitely is not the whole of life. Work is meant to keep us living so that we enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the aim of human existence. So, live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.2. Happiness.3. (open-ended.)Unit 9 第九单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wasn’t the brightest kid in my graduating class. I didn’t even attend a famous school. What I did have, though, was a supportive family, and with their help, I was able to become one of the top lawyers in the state of Florida and then a Florida State Supreme Court Justice. And you know what It wasn’t as hard as you may think. It started with a clear set of rules: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before and never give up. When I was younger, I didn’t always remember the rules myself, so my father had to remind me. After a while, though, the rules became habit and everything else sort of fell into place.1.

The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of the firefighters as they battled the blaze.When the photographer arrived, he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would make it impossible for him to photograph anything from ground level.He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved, and arrangements were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport, where a plane would be waiting for him.He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the gate.He jumped in with his bag and shouted, “Let’s go!”The pilot swung the little plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air.The photographer said, “Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures.”“Why?” asked the pilot.“Because I am a photographer,”he responded, “and photographers take photographs.”The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, “Y ou mean you’re not the flight instructor?”__T__ 1. The photographer was sent to cover the fires at Y ellowstone National Park. __F__ 2. When he arrived there, the photographer did not know what to do because the smoke was so thick.__ T__ 3. The photographer went to a nearby airport to rent a plane to take photos from the air.___F__ 4. The photographer jumped into the plane and flew it over the park.__ T__ 5. The photographer acted like a flight instructor while taking photos over the park.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.In trying to explain the existence of the complicated body structures we see in living things around us, a theory of evolution (进化) has been developed.While most scientists accept this theory, many people do not. They feel it goes against what is written in the Bible (圣经).This theory is that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler. These earlier forms developed from still simpler ancestors (祖先), and so on back through millions of years to the very beginning when life was in its simplest form,merely a tiny mass of jellylike (胶状的) protoplasm (原生质).In trying to prove that evolution did take place, scientists depend on three chief “signs.”One of these is the study of fossil (化石) remains of animals and plants of past ages. Some of these fossils seem to trace the step of evolution at work. Fossil remains of primitive (原始的) men have been found that go back toa time 1,000,000 years ago. Fossils of certain crablike (似蟹的) animals go backnearly 500,000,000 years. These fossils show that fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians (两栖动物), amphibians before reptiles (爬行动物), reptiles before birds, and so on. Scientists believe this proves life has progressed from one form to another .9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questions orally.1.Why do complicated body structures exist according toscientists?Because of evolution.2. Why is the theory of evolution acceptable to most scientists?Because it proves that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler.3. Why do scientists study fossil remains?Because they can prove that evolution did take place.4. What do these fossils show?That fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians, amphibians before reptiles, reptiles before birds, and so on.5. What is the theory of evolution?A theory that proves that life has progressed from one form to another.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.It is more important to raise questions than to answer them.。

新世纪大学英语综合课程2(第二版)Unit1-Unit8 Listen and Respond听力原文

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them toexplore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on yourdoor, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up andescaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

新视野大学英语读写教程第二册(第二版)Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 2 第二单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhen I think back about the many people who have influenced me during my life, I often think of one person who showed his passion through his commitment to my success. I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 3 第三单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesGail and Mark were from different cultural and racial background. They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be ma rrying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark was marrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable.

In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to red uce their access to tobacco products, andto restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follow s the child throughout his or her life.How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them? Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when the child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around!

Being tense can damage your heart, so it is wise to take charge of your life and realize you cannot control everything. But you can control stress which is caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, and lack of control. Anger may also be the root of this stress, especially for hard-working professional women and people with no goals in life. To relax and take control of your life, try the NICE factors: new, interesting, challenging experiences. And follow Ben Franklin’s example by writing down the major goals you want to achieve in your life. For the problems over which you have no control, you have to learn to go with the flow.1.Stress can be caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, lack of control, and anger..2.

We work hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much. We then will realize how much we have missed in life! Work definitely is not the whole of life. Work is meant to keep us living so that we enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the aim of human existence.

What I did have, though, was a supportive family, and with their help, I was able to become one of the top lawyers in the state of Floridaand then a Florida State Supreme Court Justice. And you know what? It wasn’t as hard as you may think. It started with a clear set of rules: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before and never give up. When I was younger, I didn’t always remember the rules myself, so my father had to remind me. After a while, though, the rules became habit and everything else sort of fell into place.1. He owed his success to his supportive family.2. The rules were: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before, and never give up.3.

It’s nice to relax and enjoy the moment while your packages are being wrapped. I like all of the traditions, and the care and attention that people give you, and the manners. To me, it’s a wonderful place to live.Steve: I think you’re nuts.Trish: You’re not gonna last long, mate.Unit 6 Identity “What’s your number?”Int: So, Ms. Spencer, why did you apply for this job at CNN?Amy: Well, I’ve always wanted to be a journalist, and I like traveling.

英语听力教程(第2册)Unit8听力原文

Unit 8 听力原文Part ICAn easy way to remember how much we need to exercise for fitness is to keep in mind the letters F, I and T:Frequency --- 3 to 5 days a weekIntensity—till your heart rate reaches your target speedTime -15 to 60 minutes each timeThen you may ask how to work out your target heart speed range. Let's do it together.The upper limit of your target heart speed range is 190 minus your age.The lower limit is 160 minus your age.For someone who is 20 years old, for example, his target heart speed range would be between 140 beats per minute (160-20) and 170 beats per minute (19~20).Once you've got your target speed range, you may start checking whether your exercise gives you the fitness effect.First, warm up with five minutes for stretch exercises. Then start your energetic exercise (e.g. jogging). About 10 minutes after starting energetic exercise, stop and check your pulse rate (whichis the same as your heart rate). Finally, count your pulse beats forl5 seconds and multiply by four.Remember to take your pulse rate as soon as you stop. If you wait even 30 seconds, the rate will have begun to slow and will not be accurate.You are getting the fitness effect if your pulse rate is in your target heart speed range.Part II The digestive system and diarrheaAEvery now and again, a stressful situation may arise the course of our school, home or community life. Often, the situation involves disagreements between people.Sometimes, the situation involves work difficulties—not knowing how to solve a problem or having to make a difficult decision. At other times, it involves money—not having enough to spend or disagreement over what to spend on.That is why relationship problems, work-related problems and money problems are three well-known situations that cause stress. So knowing how to handle people, learning how to solve problems or make decisions, and living within our income all help to control stress.Here are four ways to help you control stress from situations.Clue #1: Be kind, loving and polite to your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. Make time to talk, play and relax together.Clue #2: Treat others the way you would like them to treat you. Smile, chat, laugh and do things together. Learn to cooperate, share and make sacrifices for others.Clue #3: Do not keep your worries to yourself. Talk them over with someone you respect. Two heads are better than one.Clue #4: Think of the good and bad points of each choice. Be guided by facts and not your feelings. Choose together with the people who will be affected by the results. In this way, they will see how the choice is made and be more willing to bear with the bad points.CThere are many explanations of why people catch colds. Some say colds are caused by the environment. Others say colds can result from smoking too much, lack of exercise, not enoughrest, poor diet, or working too hard. But new studies suggest that people who feel extreme tension for a long period of time also may be at a higher risk of developing a cold. The researchers notethat stress is not the cause of all colds. But studies show that people who suffer from the stress caused by serious personal problems are more likely to get sick than those who do not.Researchers have spent years trying to find out why some people have colds more often than others. An earlier study directed in 1991 showed that emotional stress can lead to colds. In current studies, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh studied almost 300 people, ages 18 to 55. They were given physical, social and mental and emotional examinations. Then live cold viruses were placed in their noses. During the next five days, they were examined to find out who became infected by the virus and then developed signs of a Cold. Such signs include coughing, sneezing and a blocked nose. Stress lowers resistance, but just how it does is unknown. So in this study, the researchers look for the kinds of stress involved and how they might have affected resistance to colds. The study found that severe stress lasting a month or more increased the risk of a cold. Two causes of stress—losing a job or having difficulties with family members or friends—increase the risk the most.Part III “So you wanna keep fit, huh?”Exercise keeps you fit and healthy. Exercises should be done three to five times a week. Exercise for at least 15 to 30 minutes each time. However, a good exercise plan should include warming-up exercises before and cool-down exercises after vigorous activity. Both of them should last five to ten minutes. These exercises, such as head tilt, arm circles, side bend and toe touch, stretch your muscles and make them move more easily. They prepare you for vigorous activity and help your body slowly return to its normal breathing and heart rate after vigorous activity. Andhere comes Crystal Collins.Hi there! I'm Crystal Collins, and I'm very happy to share some time with you. So, you wanna keep fit, huh? Well, you sure came to the right place! Together we can keep fit and healthy, and be more successful. It's easy. Everybody can do it, you hear?Just remember the five golden rules:Number one. Always wear loose and comfortable clothes when you're exercising. You needto feel comfortable and relaxed.Number two. You should always do some simple warming-up exercises first. To get your body ready for the real thing.Number three. Never try to do too much exercise too soon. Take it nice and easy now, you hear? There's no rush about this.Number four. Don't forget to relax completely for about five minutes when you've finishedyour-workout. You need to rest a little bit after you've been exercising.And here is golden rule number five. Stop immediately if you feel any pain in your chest, throat, neck or head.Part ⅣMore about the topic: Subhealthstressed out:very tense and anxious because of difficulties in their lives. (INFORMAL) 紧张的,有压力的borderline: the point at which one quality, situation, emotion etc ends and another begins.i.e. She slipped over the borderline into sleep.exposure: when someone is in a situation where they are not protected from something dangerous or unpleasant.exposure toi.e. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.fatigue: a feeling of extreme physical or mental tiredness. 疲倦,疲乏,疲劳endocrinopathy: [end?ukrai'n?p?θi] n. [医]内分泌病] n. 神经衰弱症neurasthenia: [nju?r?s'θi:ni?climacteric: [klai'm?kt?rik] 更年期insomnia: Someone who suffers from insomnia finds it difficult to sleep.agitation: If someone is in a state of agitation, they are very worried or upset, and show this intheir behavior, movements, or voice.不安,焦虑cardiovascular: [kɑ:di?u'v?skjul?] adj. 心脏血管的palpitations: /p?lp?'te???nz/ n [plural] if you have palpitations, your heart beats quickly in an irregular way急速不规则的跳动;心悸]名词‘医’心律不整; 心脏跳动不规则arrhythmia: [?'riθmi?aquatic: living or growing in water, e.g. an aquatic planttrace element: a chemical element such as iron or zinc that occurs in very small amounts in living things and is necessary for normal growth and development. ‘生物’(动植物所不可欠缺的) 微量元素indispensable: essential; too important to be without: Cars have become an indispensable part of our lives.digestive tract: 消化道Feeling stressed out lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the fancy equipment there show that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the thirdstate or gray state, is defined as a borderline state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-time, due to their heightened exposure to stress. Subhealth comes under several clinical names, including fatigue syndrome, endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, and climacteric syndrome. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. In addition, cardiovascular diseases such as palpitations and arrhythmia may appear. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly,and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic products because they are rich in nutritional elements--vitamins and trace elements--that are indispensable to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.Part V Memory test: How to Keep Your Liver HealthyThe liver does so much for your body that without it, you wouldn’t last longer than 24 hours. Its functions are so vital that if it falls into poor health, the rest of your body falls into poor health.In this video, we’re going to discuss in greater detail how to keep your liver healthy because a happier liver means a happier you. If you like to drink, be sure to do so in moderation. Drink aslittle as possible although one glass of red wine a day is acceptable and can even help your body. However, avoid hard liquors such as scotch, whiskey and vodka, which actually cause the most damage to your liver. Eat liver-healthy foods. Now we will be going to much more detail on healthy liver foods, liver diets and even liver cleanses in later videos, but it’s important that you eat foods rich in antioxidants such as kale, spinach, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. These foods will help your liver detoxify damaging chemicals that are currently in your body. Drink lots of water. Water is a great natural detoxifier. Water will flush toxins from your body, and give your liver a much needed break. This next suggestion can be tough for many, but by cutting down caffeine-rich stimulants, such as coffee, soda and tea, will also reduce the amount of work your liver has to put into removing toxins in your body as well. Exercise regularly, even if it’s lightly. Getting out and exercise regularly increases liver activity by causing you to sweat and get your liver to push toxins out as you do. It’s like a jumpstart for your liver. Exercise does much more for you and your body beyond a healthy liver and is always a good idea if you want to stay healthy.。

全新版大学英语(第二版)听说教程2Unit 1 SportsPart A]Listening StrategyIdentifying NumbersNumbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. The ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner. A good way is to practice 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 you hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into Chinese. You're going to hear a passage 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 Brooklyn, New York. He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls team for the 1984 season. In the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score ever. He was 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, scoring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 NBA finals. In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century. Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of the 1993-1994 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball. Since his baseball game wasn't quite as good as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the Bulls in 1995. Yet, after playing for five more years, he once again announced his retirement in 1999. But he returned for two more NBA games in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.[ti:Unit 1 Part B]Listening TasksA 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 week, 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 your 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 better, 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 time 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 myself.Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but 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 TasksPair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with your 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 wonderful. I'd always wanted to work out in the new gym. Thank you very much. Conversation 2A: 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 sports.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 tennis?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 expressions 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 favorite 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 does 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 school days. But recently I have failed to keep up with football.W: Now you are busy with your golf games.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Unit 2 Food and DrinksPart AListening StrategyListening "Between the Lines"People do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen "between the lines". The English language offers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says "I have an essay to write" in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. And if someone says "Andrew passed with flying colors" in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom "to pass with flying colors" that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning 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 wrong, 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: Soda? 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 TasksA 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, not yet, I don't think so. Why?Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?Kate: That 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 so much 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 oil or cream or heavy sauces.Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.Peter: That's fine by me.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with your partner.Conversation 1(At the school canteen)A: What a crowd!B: This is the worst time. The morning classes are just over.

Let me order first.Questions1. What is the relationship between the two speakers?2. Where does the conversation take place?3. What will they order?Unit 3 WeatherPart AListening StrategyListening for Important DetailsBesides understanding the main idea of a listening text, we often find it necessary to grasp the important 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 listening 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 passages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in 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 southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. There 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 heavyshowers moving 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 hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.[ti:Unit 3 Part B]Listening TasksA 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 sun.Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. 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 shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.Questions1. What are Alan and Michelle mainly doing?2. What do you know about Alan?3. What can you infer from the conversation?Speaking TasksListen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. Then role-play them with your partner.Conversation 1A: What lovely weather we're having! Nice and cool.B: Yeah, I really like this kind of weather.A: What's the temperature today?B: The high is 26 and the low is 20. The weather forecast says the good weather is likely to last, too.A: I hope so.Conversation 2A: It seems to be clearing up. All the dark clouds are gone and the sun is coming out.B: Yes. Let's just hope it stays this way. I hate rainy days.A: I think it will continue to be fine for the next few days. Anyhow, that's what the weatherman says.B: That's great. Let's go for a walk, shall we?A: All right.Conversation 3A: It's hot and humid, isn't it? I can hardly breathe.B: Yeah. I feel suffocating too.A: Are summers always this hot here? It's almost like in the desert.B: Yes, especially in July and August.A: Well, what did the weatherman say?B: He said another heat wave is on the way.A: Oh no! I hope not.B: How about going out to the beach to cool off?A: Good idea. Maybe it's the only place for this sort of weather.Now make similar conversations according to the given situations. Use the structures and expressions 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 says it'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 can 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 MusicPart 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 cause 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 illustration or emphasize a certain point or discuss several aspects of a certain topic. So we should pay attention 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 indicate 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 can 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 for 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 move 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 flows more quickly. In short, we're stimulated.[ti:Unit 4 Part B]Listening TasksA PassageBackground MusicExercise 1Listen to the passage. As you listen, read the signal words in your book and put a tick () in the brackets 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. Very 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 spot 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 sales. 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 background 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 your 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 already. 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. Your 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 parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had composed 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 address 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 difficulties. Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albumswon a great success. And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in France. 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 1996 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997 she recorded the theme song for Titanic, and her name became synonymous with the enormously successful film. Celine Dion's favorite theme is love. She sings the depth and the power of love in a great 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 HealthPart AListening StrategyIdentifying the Relationship Between the Speakers in a Conversation Identifying the relationship between the speakers in a conversation is an important skill in listening comprehension. Although sometimes the conversation itself does not contain words that say exactly what the relationship is, we can rely on contextual clues to find it out. Such clues include the degree of intimacy (e.g., how intimately the speakers address each other, what endearments are used), the degree of politeness (strangers tend to be more polite towards each other than friends or family members), and the particular situation (at a doctor's consulting room, at a shop, etc.).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: You 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, you 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 sleeping.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 symptoms?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 very 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 think 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 your 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。

Unit 8 Receiving Visitors2.Listening PracticeTask 2-1A receptionist in a small firm may have to use a computer, operate a switchboard, and perform other clerical duties, in addition to receiving visitors. In a large firm a receptionist can concentrate on welcoming and looking after visitors.A visitor to a large firm should make an appointment, because executives are often very busy and do not have much time for visitors. Executives and secretaries should notify the receptionist in advance about important appointments, and about the movements of executives, especially when they are out of the building on business. Executives often ask receptionists to make travel arrangements for them, such as booking hotel rooms and airline tickets.Task 2-2There is a certain procedure for receiving visitors. A receptionist should find out if the visitor has an appointment or not. If the visitor is an important client, the executive or his secretary will come down to the reception area to greet the visitor. Sometimes the receptionist or another secretary escorts, or accompanies, the visitor to the executive’s office. Using the visitor’s name when he arrives is a friendly gesture and gives the visitor a good impression of the firm. The receptionist announces the visitor’s name, title and position, and introduces the executive to him.When a visitor’s request for a meeting cannot be satisfied, the receptionist should apologise and make some suggestions for an alternative time. If a meeting is impossible, the receptionist should express regret and explain why, with tact, so that the visitor’s feelings are not hurt.A receptionist should keep a register which includes dates, times, names and the firm the visitor works for. A receptionist can then refer to this if there is a request for information.4. Video 1(R for receptionist; S for secretary; V for visitor)R: Good morning. May I help you?V: Yes, I’d like to see Mr. Hansen, the president.R: Do you have an appointment, sir?V: Yes.

Would you ask Mr. Dantini to wait for a few minutes?R: All right. I’m sorry, Mr. Dantini, our president is occupied just now. Would you please wait for a few minutes?V: Yes, of course.R: Would you like something to drink? Do you prefer coffee or tea?V: Thank you. Coffee, please.R: Would you like sugar and cream with your coffee?R: Here you are, Mr. Dantini. And there are some magazines if you’d like to read them.V: Oh, good. Thank you very much.S: Mr. Hansen is available now. Please send Mr. Dantini up.R: OK. Mr. Dantini, our president is available now.

I wish I knew what I wanted to do.Kate: Didn't you say something about teaching Janet: Yes, I'm thinking about it. I'm quite attracted to teaching. But I'm not really sure yet. Kate: Well, you've got lots of time. What about you, Mark What are your plansMark: I'm going to row for England.Kate: SeriouslyMark: No. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you've got to plan ahead— starting at the age of 12.Janet: So we're not doing very well.Mark: No.Kate: SoMark: Well ...

They're going to let meknow about it.Janet: Fantastic!Unit 8-Conversation 2Kate: You know that job placement I told you about — they've asked me to go for an interview. Janet: That's brilliant. WhenKate: Two weeks' time ...Interviewer: So what made you decide to study law, KateKate: A number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I've got a good brain, a good memory. And I'd certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money's good. Interviewer: Well, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV's very good.

I start at the end of June.Janet: Well done!Unit 8-Outside viewEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.Unit 8-Listening inNews reportA survey of more than 14,000 UK residents has revealed that being an author is the most desired job in Britain. Sixty per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is £11,000, which is less than the minimum incom e. Librarians make between £19,500 and £29,500 annually,depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news reportPassage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all goingSpeaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1 It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for youSpeaker2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's havea look atyour file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades,you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on trackfor a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea whatyou'd like to doSpeaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot ofnovels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be aliterary editorSpeaker 2 That's right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hardprofession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than justliterature. For example, there's educational publishing,professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing,such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thingbut... you get the idea.Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1 First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.Speaker 2 Right. How do I find out who to write to Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher's Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2 Thank you.Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2 I'll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they're quite romantic about it,but there are other departments - marketing, sales, and theproduction side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful.But it'sliterary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how youget on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, I was frightened I'd go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It's the grammar I find difficult, there's so much to cover.Jessica It's extraordinary, isn't it We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a teaching English course and discover we don't know anything.Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica Jessica Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan —Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really - the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time. Patrick So you're teaching English because you want to travel Jessica Yes, that's part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it's a good career.Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do nextJessica Marketing, I think. I'm going to do a year here, then -1 hope - get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that's the plan.Patrick Sounds good.Harry What about you, Patrick Where have you worked Patrick I did three years in Italy - Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn. Harry.Harry Well, I'm not like you and Jessica. I'm just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.Jessica You don't see teaching English as a career Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry Harry I did a year's teaching in Brazil - Rio de Janeiro —such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.Patrick Cool. And thenHarry Two years in Mexico City ...Jessica You should be a travel writer.Harry I'm too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.Lucy Great!Harry Well, we're all giving our reasons forteaching English, so what's yours, LucyLucy Um -I think I'm going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it's great to be in Italy. I mean Venice, what more can you ask。

Y ou will bear an ironman competitor on a TV phone-in program. He willanswer some questions from different caller. Listen to the recording and fill in the table below with what you bear.Presenter: so now it’s time for our phone-in. our guest today is Greg Mortimer. Just to remind you, Greg is a regular competitor inthe Ironman triathlon race, which involves swimming fourkilometers, cycling 180 kilometers, and running 42kilometers. Our first caller is Christine Goodyear. What’syour question, Christine?Christine: I’d like to know how long the race takes.Greg: Well, that depends on how good you are. The top athletes take about nine hours, but for the people at the back it might take 12hours or longer. Of course, some people don’t finish. Presenter: Thank you, and now Ben Clough.Ben: how do you train for the race?Greg: I train for about 10 or 12 hours every day, but I don’t do the same thing each day. In a nor mal week I go to the swimming pool about four-times and each time I swim six or seven kilometers. I do three or four 100-lilmeter bike rides and two long runs—maybe 50 kilometers each. And I usually go to the gym to exercise with weights about twice a week.Presenter: I feel exhausted just listening to that. And now Jamie Watts.What’s your question?Jamie:I’d like to ask Greg what kind of diet he eats.Greg: I eat most things, meat,fish,cheese,eggs,vegetables,but the most important thing for me is to eat a lot ofcarbohydreates-bread,pasta,potatoes,fruit, and things like that. Ineed about 9,000 calories a day. A normal person would probablyeat about 2,000. During the race the most important thing iswater. We have to drink every tem to fifteen minutes during therace. Dehydration could kill you very easily if you didn’t. Presenter: and our last question for now comes from betty lamb. Betty: like a lot of people I think, I’d like to know why you do it! Greg: yes, that’s the question that most people ask me! Well, it may sound strange but I actually enjoy it. But most of all it’s a challenge. I suppose it’s like climbing a mountain. It’s hard work, but it’s a wonderful feeling to stand on the top. So I do it because at the end of the race I can look back and say I did it.Task 8Listening: you are going to bear a snowboard champion talking about bear life in the sport. Before you listen to the recording, look at the types of information in the list and match them to the spaces in the notes. As you listen, fill in the missing information.(I=Interviewers;S= Snowboard Champion)I: Have you always been interested in snow sports?S: Well, my father encouraged me to try out lots of sports then I was growing up in Chicago and then in the town of Steamboat,Colorado. I guess I was pretty good at most of them. But once I’dtried snowboarding; I knew it was the one for me.I: So how did you start?S: Well, my older brother Sean was already snowboarding and Iused to follow him and his friends around. I just wanted to learn everythingI could. He was great! H never made me feel stupid evn though Iwasn’t nearly as fast or as good at snowboarding as he was. I finished High School early so I could go on a snowboarding tour with him.I: Where did you get the money to go on tour?S: our parents gave us each $10,000 and then we had to find our own financial support by getting sponsors.I: Weren’t your parents worried about a young girl doing such a dangerous sports?S: Both my Mom and Dad are athletic and they know what it’s like to compete. They’ve always encouraged me. They agree that young girls need to know that they can try different things and not beafraid of failing.I: You obviously enjoy competing.S: Yes but the competition part isn’t as important as the fun! I keep it new and exciting by trying new things. My husband Dave and I spend our summers surging. I love to be in the water. It’s the best thing after a season of cold weather and sore legs! In snowboarding you mainly use your legs and in surfing it’s mainly the upper part of your body, so it gave me a chance to recover and improve my balance skills at the same time. I: It sounds as if you are on the move most of the year.S:We are. We only spend about two months a year at home.Tak9Listening: Do you like boxing? What do you think of women’s boxing?
