I don’t see how we can pass unless Steven and Suzie realize that this is their last chance.Q: What is the true of Steven and Suzie?5. ScriptW: You took an MBA at Harvard Business School, didn’t you? What’s it like?M: It’s exp ensive, about U.S. $ 40,000 a year, plus the costs of food and housing. But the teaching is first class. The professors have a lot of practical experience.

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I’m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you’ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop.Jenny: What’s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I’ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He’s good if you’re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that’s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison:You’re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don’t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Than ks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task2: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-onewho continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the good thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Key: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DTask 3: Money for CollegeRobert was a university student. He liked to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do but to try to call his mother for help."Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I... uh... got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I'm going to need $100.""I understand," said his mother. "I'11 send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?""Oh, yeah. Thanks," Robert said.Robert's mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her."Well, how much did you give the boy this time?" asked Dad."I sent two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1,000," answered Mom."You're out of your mind," yelled Dad. "That's $1,100. He'll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He's never going to learn the value of money that way.""Don't worry, honey," Mom said, "I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Chapter 13!"Key:F 1. The couple went to their doctor to have a complete physical checkup.T 2. At first the wife asked the husband to get her only ice cream.F 3. The husband refused to write a note, for he believed he could remember the toast.F 4. Finally, the husband brought the wife both ice cream and strawberries.F 5. The wife blamed the husband for forgetting to bring her ice cream and strawberries.。

She’d be mad if I came home in a skirt like that.Girl 1: Let’s both got one; then maybe your mom wouldn’t be so upset if we both wore the same skirt.Girl 2: Well…maybe.1.D2. The first girl (The girl who suggests wearing the short skirt.)Dialog 2Mother: Lily, where did you get that skirt? Y ou can’t wear that. It’s much too short! What will others think?

They deign trends and create newstyles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That’s why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.1.

If you want to be a model, you should know the basic rules. Girls are usually picked to be models when they are between 15 and 22 years old. Ideally, they are tall, long-legged, and thin. The minimum height is about 5’8”, and the average weight is 108-125 pounds. A few other important things for a fashion model are clear skin, healthy hair, straight teeth, and a well-shaped body. Y ou’ll also need ambition, intelligence, confidence, independence, and will-power.If you’ve got the right looks but are worried over not being tall enough or fit enough, Kimi is the answer. Kimi is the magic key to developing your fashion model potential. Kimi is a computer-designed stimulator. It massages your feet to stimulate a part of your brain that produces more growth hormones. This will give you the fashion model kind of height. Y ou should also go in for some sports like running or basketball. These increase the benefits of using Kimi.Make an important decision today.

Speaking OutModel 1 How did you like the fashion show?Laura: How did you like the fashion show last night?John: It was dumb. I think it’s stupid of women to wear clothes like that.Laura:I didn’t see anything wrong with the clothes; they looked pretty nice to me.John:Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?Laura: Y es, I do. At least, some people certainly can. They wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style and wealth.John:Well, I still think they’re dumb. It makes more sense to spend the money on more practical purposes.Now Your TurnA: What did you think of the low-cut dress at the fashion show yesterday evening?B: I think it’s not decent for Chinese girls to wear a dress like that.A: The dress seemed quite al right to me. In fact, they looked pretty nice to me.B: Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?A: Yes, I do. Don’t forget this is already the 21st century. Some people wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style as wealth.B: Well, I still think low-neck dresses are wrong. It would be better to spend the money on high-quality, traditional clothes.Model 2 I’m looking for a light jacket.Salesman: What can I do for you?John:I’m looking for a light jacket.Salesman: Please come this way; they’re just over here. What size do you like?John:I’m not sure.Salesman: ok, I’ll measure you. Well, you are size 42. What color do you like?John:Light blue, please.Salesman: OK, try this one on.John:Y es, that’s comfortable. And the color goes well with my jeans. How much is it?Salesman: $24.99.John:I’ll take it. Can I pay with a credit card?Salesman: Sure, we take both debit and major credit cards.Now Your TurnA: Can I help you?B: Can you show me a pair of jeans?A: OK.

Can I pay with a credit card?A: Sorry, we accept only cash.Model 3 Could you show me a pair of running shoes?Salesman: Good morning, see anything you like?John:Not yet, I’ll look around first…Excuse me, could you show me a pair of running shoes? Are any of these on sale?Salesman: The price of the Reeboks won’t change, but the Nikes go on sale this afternoon:25% off. That’s a good deal.John:No, I don’t like Nikes at all.Salesman: Well, why don’t you try on this pair of Reeboks and see how they feel?John:Okay. But I think they are going to be on the small side. Oh, there, I’m afraid are a bit too tight. Do you have a size 24?Salesman:I’m sorry, they’re all sold out. But I’ll be glad to order a new pair of you.John:How long will it take?Salesman: Three days.John:Then don’t bother. Thank you anyway.Now Your TurnA: May I help you?B: I want to buy a dress. Can I have a look at the green one?A: Sure. Please try it on and see how it feels.B: OK…I think it’s a bit too large. Do you have a smaller one?A: I’m sorry, this is the smallest one. How about the blue one?B: No, I don’t like the color. Thanks.V. Let’s TalkThe MiniskirtMary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world’s attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didn’t make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves.” She said. Eventually, Ms. Quant’s skirts, which arrived in the United States in the mid-60’s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant’s opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women’s liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.1.D2.D3.A4.C5.BVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Paying for the New ClothesDaughter: Mom, I need some new clothes. Everything I have is out of date. The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping?Mother:Y ou have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition. Y our father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there’re the books too.Daughter: But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis. And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school. They are so long. People will think I came form the middle ages.Mother:But…Daughter: Maybe I could get a part-time job to help pay for the new clothes.Mother: No, you need to study. But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive.Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition. The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughter’s studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.Task 2: A Model’s Description of Her W orkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. Y ou could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don’t keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So you walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. Y ou are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.1.T2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot BikiniShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was afraid that somebody would seeOne, two, three, four, tell people what she woreIt was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time today.An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stay.Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you moreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so a blanket around her she woreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so she sat bundled up on the shoreTwo, three, four, tell the people what she wore…SpeakingBuying an Expensive DressNancy: Y our new low-cut dress is wonderful.Jill: Thank you, Nancy.

I have a hard time even recording people I‘ve been introduced to.Q: According to the conversation, what is the man‘s problem?4. ScriptM: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says ―keys‖?W: It‘s to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I‘m always locking myself out by accident!

They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. Y ou‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Anyway, I wish you had a good memory for happy events, and a bad one for unhappy things.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, my trip to Beijing was fantastic.B: Tell me what thrilled you most.[The door bell rings and A answer it….A comes back.]A: Where was I?B: Y ou were talking about your tour in BeijingA: Oh, yeah.B: I bet you had a great time.A: Yes, I particularly enjoyed visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, though the admission fees were a bit too high for me.B: What were the fees?A: Let me see….Sorry, I can‘t remember any more.B: Wha t‘s wrong with your memory?A: I hope it‘s not Alzheimer‘s disease.

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget itquickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptiveinformation on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。

Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick:Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie:Uh, yeah, that’s right.

I was planning on calling Nick.Amy: I see.Talia : Thanks for being understanding.Amy : After I call Valentino's, is there anything else you want me to do?Talia : Yes. I'm going to need your help.

I care about… I care about your future.Nick: So do I!Talia: Good—you wore a tie.Nick: Yeah, your message said, wear a tie and a jacket. You look nice, by the way. Talia: Thanks. So do you.Nick: What’s that?Talia: Here. You have to put these on.Nick: I’m sorry. Did I miss something here? Is it… is it Halloween? Are you really going to make me put these on?Talia: Yes. And that’s how you’re going to hear their conversation. There’s anearphone in the wig.Nick: Whose conversation?Talia: Jackie and Dean’s. They’re having dinner here. Let’s go inside. Script 2Talia: So, as I was saying, I have a feeling Dean and Jackie are going to talk about you as soon as they get here.Nick: Really?Talia: Yup. And all we have to do is record their conversation. We just need to plant this at their table.Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?Talia: You forget—I’m a researcher… I asked the maitred’. That’s their table over there. I’ll be right back.Nick: OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while you plant the mike.Talia: Good. Just cough or something to warn me if you see them.Nick: OK. Hurry up. [Nick coughs!]Talia: Whew! That was close... Here. Look at the menu. We should order. Nick: Right, though I’m not really hungry.Talia: Neither am I.Dean: One more.Nick: Don’t look now, but here comes Jackie.Unit 6Jackie: You are not going to believe what happened.Dean: I've been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven't you called me back?Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk...Jackie: Dean, don't interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So...Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here...Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!Dean: OK. I give up. What?Jackie: So this woman Amy Ask someone not to interrupt you and I were talking when a friend of hers showed up. Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.Dean: So?Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...Dean: How does she know about...Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.Dean: Newsline ?Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you.Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea! Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!Script 2Jackie: OK. I'll calm down. But, Dean, I'm worried. I could get into real trouble. Dean: You? Why, I'm the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.Dean: Big deal.Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended!Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters? Dean: Byron Walters?Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who's going to make me a star!!Dean: Oh, him...Jackie: You said to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.Dean: Uh, I forgot to tell you. There is no Byron Walters. He quit the business. Jackie: But he was going to give me my big break, the break that's going to make me a star.Dean: Sorry, Jackie.Jackie: No, you're not. I don't think you're sorry at all now. But you will be! You tricked me, just like you tricked Nick Crawford. I don't have to stand for this. Unit 7Script 1Nick: I can’t believe it! They admitted everything.Talia: And we got it all on tape.Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me?Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I mentioned Kicks shoes. I knew she would tell Dean about it as soon as she could.Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me.Talia: Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.Nick: Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…Talia: I guess you’re right.Nick: Why don’t you finish dinner?Talia; … But if we leave now, Tony will still be in the office.Nick: Look, Talia. This whole thing is about to be clear up. Why d on’t we just take a little time now to enjoy ourselves?Talia: Of course. You’re right. Sorry, Nick. And besides, this is Valentino’s. And I am with a star!Script 2Nick: I have a confession to make.Talia: What? You have a confession to make? I thought this whole thing was over. Nick: No, no. It’s not about that. It’s about… .Talia: Us? Us, as in you and me.Nick: Yes. Do you remember that class we took together in college?Talia: Of course, I remember it. I remember it well.Nick: And do you reme mber when we were studying together in the library… Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer. In fact, we had split up by mid-semester.Nick: You are kidding. I didn’t know. Well, I guess I should’ve…Talia: I’m not seeing anyone now, though, you know.Nick: Well, then…Waiter: Tuttobene? Is everything all right? May I get you uh, un café? Te?Cappuccino?Talia: I’ll have a cappuccino.Nick: Two.Unit 8Script 1Talia: I’m too late, right?

This is the tape that will get Nick’s name cleared.Tony: OK. Let’s hear it. I have a tape player here somewhere.Amy: So, tell me. Tell me.Talia: It was perfect. I got it all on tape. Jackie said that she had posed as a Kicks executive...Amy: No!Talia: Yes! And they both admitted that there was no Kicks!Amy: Get out of here!Talia: And Dean actually said that he had sent the tape to us.Amy: Unbelievable!Talia: Wait till you hear them. Hearing is believing!Tony: Talia, let me have the tape.Talia: Oh, sure. Here. Oh, this is so exciting.Script 2Talia: Here it is, the tape that will get Nick reinstated on the team. Just a minute. Imust not have rewound it... OK, now listen.... What’s going on? Is this tape player working?Tony: It’s been working just fine. In fact, I just had it cleane d last week. Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on. Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.Tony: You probably just pressed "play".Talia: This is a disaster.Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way. Amy: Poor Talia.Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?Unit 9Script 1Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.Talia: Didn’t you get my message?Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...Nick: What are you talking about?Tal ia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie and Dean’sconversation.Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.Nick: Oh, no!Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence! Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourselfTalia: Well, I’m sup posed to be a professional! And I want to be a reporter! Script 2Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.Talia: You’re right. What’s done is done. Orin this case, what’s not done is done. Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.Talia: How can you stay so positive?Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. A nd the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10Script 1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough Talia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It'samazing.How easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello,Nick! Remember me?Nick: I certainly do.Talia: What are you doing here?Jackie: Do you have a video camera?Talia: Yes.Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous? Talia: What's the catch?Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.Script 2Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?Talia: You look fine. Really.Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure!Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nickusually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsementTalia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time. Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.Unit 11Script 1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to. Script 2Amy: You must be very happy.Nick: I really am. My name has bee n cleared. I’m really relieved. This has been a nightmare!Tony: Now that the truth has come out, how about giving Newsline an exclusive interview?Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview.Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile. Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know. Like, now you can see Jackie Bishop on TV all the time!Nick: Yup, in that ridiculous toothpaste commercial. Well, I guess things have worked out for her.Patty: Seems so. And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right? I mean, you did score the winning goal in the qualifying match.Nick: Yes, but unfortunately, we DIDN’T make itPatty: No, but there’s always next time.Nick: That’s right, there’s always next time…Patty: Oh, you know who else I see on TV a lot now? That reporter who broke the story. What’s her name again? Talia something?Nick: Talia Santos. Yeah, I heard she’s been working really hard. I haven’t had a chance to see her much lately. And now she’s going to be moving.Patty: It sounds like you need to speak with her.Nick: You’re right, Patty. I’ll see you later.Patty: Bye, Nick. Hey! Let me know how things turn out.Script 2Talia: Nick! Hi! I’ve been meaning to call you.Nick: Oh, hi. Well, Amy called me. She told me the news. She said she’s got your jo b as a researcher.Talia: That’s right. Isn’t it great?Nick: Yeah, yeah... she told me the news about you. When are you moving? Talia: Not until next week. to the finals.Nick: Oh. Is there somewhere we can go for a few minutes?Talia: Sure. Here, come in here.Nick: So Amy told me you got an offer from Newsbeat. Where are they? Atlanta? Talia: No, Chicago.Nick: Right, Chicago. Anyway, she said they want you to start right away. Talia: True. But Nick, I…Nick: Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.T alia: OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?Nick: What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.Talia: Good. Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...

新进阶视听说1 Practice Test One 听力录音原文及答案

Practice Test OneScript and Answer KeySection ADirections: In this section, you will hear three news reports. At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).News Report OneMany people traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the 50th Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. The show is said to have the largest collection of new electronic devices in the world.The 2017 show had many examples of “smart home” devices. “Smart home” technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes.Jeremy Warren is with smart home service provider Vivint.“When someone comes to your front door and rings the doorbell, the light can turn on immediately. I get a notification when I’m halfway around the world that someone came, and I can start talking to the person who’s at my front door, and I can say, ‘Oh, here let me let you in.’ I can unlock the door for them very easily.”Another use of smart home technology is being able to watch what is taking place in your home—whether you are just around the corner or halfway around the world.A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices.Many of these devices at the Consumer Electronics Show were available before. But now they communicate better and can learn repeat behavior and habits.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What is NOT true about the 50th Consumer Electronics Show?2. What is the concern for some homeowners when they use smart devices?Key1. D2. CNews Report TwoBritain’s decision to leave the European Union prompted Prime Minister David Cameron to resign and markets to fall around the world. Final results in Thursday’s historic referendum gave the “Leave” campaign 52 percent, while “Remain” took 48 percent. Voter turnout was reported high across Britain, even with heavy rain falling in many areas. The outcomeshocked many within Britain and across the world since recent opinion polls showed a growing lead for “Remain.”UK Independent Party Leader Nigel Farage was the most vocal voice in the anti-EU movement. He said the “Leave” win was “our independence day.” He called the results“a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, a victory for decent people.”The close vote showed how deeply divided Britons are on issues of immigration and sovereignty that became the focus of the “Leave” campaign. Prime Minister Cameron addressed that divide outside the official residence at 10 Downing Street Friday morning.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. Which of the following is the consequence of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union?4. Which is NOT the comment of the UK Independent Party Leader?Key3. A4. DNews Report ThreeThe International Football Association’s ethics committee banned its president, Sepp Blatter, from the organization for eight years on Monday. The association is known as FIFA. Also getting an eight-year ban was Michel Platini, the head of the European soccer federation, UEFA.The ruling came because of a $2 million payment from FIFA to Platini in 2011. The two men called it salary for advising the president. But according to the Associated Press news service, Platini had no such contract with FIFA at the time. Blatter was already serving a provisional ban over the scandal earlier this year when 14 FIFA officials were arrested on corruption charges.The payment is also being investigated by authorities in Switzerland.The organization will elect a new president in February. For many years, it was anticipated that Platini would take over for Blatter. That is not likely after the news of his eight-year ban. Also, Platini is not on the list of candidates for the upcoming election.Blatter promised to fight the ban in the Court of Arbitration for Sport. He denied doing anything wrong by authorizing payments to Platini, calling the lack of a contract an administrative error.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. What was the FIFA ruling about?6. What was the reason of ruling?7. What was Blatter’s response to the ruling?Key5. A6. B7. CSection BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Conversation OneM: Well, Cathy, now that we have seen the three apartments, which one do you like best? W: I don’t know, John. I know one thing. I don’t like the one on the 66th Street.M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 75th Street one and the 82nd Street one.W: The one on the 82nd Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was very clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You could always just put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any secrecy, and the bedroom was too small.M: Yes, you are right.W: If the desk is put in the living room, it is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 75th Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It is more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I did not like about that place is the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner?M: No. Was there one?W: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.M: Yes, I think the apartment is best for our needs. There is good parking, and there is a semi-private area for our desk.W: OK. Let’s take that one.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. Why did they cross off the apartment on the 66th Street?9. Which of the following is NOT true about the apartment on the 82nd Street?10. What’s wrong with the west window?11. Which consideration is crucial in their choice of an apartment?Key8. D 9. B 10. C 11. AConversation TwoW: Hi, John.M: Oh, hi, Laura. What are you doing here?W: Uh, I’m usually here on weekends. It’s my dad’s shop. So, you are looking for a bike? M: Yeah. Now the weather is warming up. I thought I’d get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.W: Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you’d like?M: Well, I don’t want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I’ll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.W: How far is that?M: About four miles.W: Are there a lot of hills on the way?M: Some I guess. But, um, maybe I should just tell you in front that I’ve got a hundred and fifty dollars. Can I get anything decent for that?W: Well, you are not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have a few used ones in the back that are in good condition.M: That sounds good.W: And you’re right. For that kind of riding you’re going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it’s the right height for you. Follow me and I’ll show you what we’ve got.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. Why is Laura at the bicycle shop?13. Why does John want to buy a bicycle?14. What does Laura suggest that John buy?15. What does Laura say is the most important about a bike?Key12. A 13. C 14. C 15. DSection CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneIn American high schools, most students take English, science, math and history. These are basic courses and each course is as useful as the others. In English class, the students study grammar and read famous literature. In science class, they study biology, chemistry or physics. History is more interesting to some students because they learn important events and places in USA. Students take other courses, too. These are called electives. Some of them are music, home economics and computer science. Students don’t have to take all of these courses. Some study music because they feel it is more enjoyable. Some study computer science because they think it is more practical. In each class, teachers give students exams. Some exams are more difficult than others, but a good student can always do well.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What are the basic courses in American high schools?17. Which of the following is true?18. Why do some students choose to study computer science?Key16. B 17. C 18. APassage TwoIt has been found that less than one shopper in five makes a complete shopping list before going to the store. The reason for this is that seven out of ten of today’s purchases are decided in the store, where the shoppers tend toward impulse buying. Buying groceries on impulse has risen for the past 40 years, and, this rise has coincided with the growth of self-service shopping. However, in grocery stores where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying. It is hard for people to buy on impulse if they have to address a clerk.Psychologists have joined forces with merchandising experts. It is their job to persuade people to buy products which they may not need or even want until they see them attractively presented. It was discovered by the psychologists that shoppers want help in their purchases. Having so many choices confuses them, they prefer the package that attracts them. Therefore, it is now more usual for food packers to pay attention to their package design. Attraction depends heavily on the position of the product on the shelf, however. Thus, persuading the shopper to buy is easier if the product is located at eye-level.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Which can be the best title for this passage?20. Which of the following is true according to the passage?21. Why is there less impulse shopping in grocery stores where customers are served?Key19. A 20. D 21. DPassage ThreeWe use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that man is either very afr aid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it might mean surprise. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!”Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislikes. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, loveand happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.

I’m Ryan Kaplan.Jared Kaplan:And I’m Jared Kaplan. Today we’re gonna uncover the lost art of managing your personal spending in college.Ryan Kaplan:And that’s probably something, Jared, (that) you wish you knew a little bit more about when you’re back at school. It seemed you did spend your entire f irst month allowance on that Harry Potter’s costume back in the university in Michigan.Jared Kaplan:Er, yah, I did and I still got the spectacles and Quidditch stick to prove it.(sound from a movie)You’ll never catch me, Potter!Ryan Kaplan:Man, I love that costume.Jared Kaplan:Yeah, it’s even more of a reason that I wish I knew the tips. We’re gonna talk about today back when I was in school.Jared Kaplan:Let’s start with housing. Choosing dorms versus apartments for other of campus alternatives if you’re looking to save money. If you’re gonna go with the apartments off campus choices, choose a roommate of two or three, preferably those with capital hygiene. This would help you not only split the cost on rent, but on groceries, utilities, and all the other associated costs.Ryan Kaplan:Now there’s also some way to save money when it comes to food. The first thing you could do is enroll in your school’s sponsored meal plan. This meal plan will cover several meals throughout the week and will save you money over having to buy each individual meal. Dorm food gives some people the willingness though, and for those individuals, there are also ways to save money. Go to your grocery store, buy some chicken, and have a salmon baked. The bottom line is that if you’re cooking food ev ery single night instead of order-in, you’ll save money in your hall.Jared Kaplan:Ryan, I know you love to highlight every little word of those freshly minted textbooks, but go with used books to save money, and don’t forget at the end of the semester, toreturn it for a little extra spending cash.Jared Kaplan:Many university employers offer flexible hours to fit your schedule. And if you’re the studying type, you may be even able to do it on the job, like if you work at the library. Some people want jobs that pay great tips like waitress thing and parking cars, but even better, get a paid internship. It will help you get a jumpstart on your career while at the same time, put a little cash in your pocket.Jared Kaplan:Ryan, what do you think about entertainment?Ryan Kaplan:Well for fun at school, I used to go to the museum on campus.Jared Kaplan:Not the exactly what I was thinking about, but you still bring up a good point. Many college towns have a ton of free events you can go to, and even if they’re not free, museums and concerts, plays, even movie theatres sometimes offer specially discounted tickets for students.A good place to check is in student newspaper. And some colleges will even offer special discounted cards for a mere 10 dollars. Think about all the great places on campus you can get special deals at that.Ryan Kaplan:If you wanna go on spring break, check with the travel agencies on your campus. Many offer discounts or even a free trip to a person who organizes the trip to a group of individuals. There is no reason why you can’t be that person. I mean with your frien ds. And in no time you may be on the beaches in Cancun, sipping on Mia Tai, free of charge.Ryan Kaplan:Another way to keep cash in your pocket is to make sure that when you go out, you only take the cash that you’re willing to spend or that you can affo rd to spend. Leaving your credit card at home is actually a great way to save money, because you don’t tempt yourself making purchases like going out to a bar with your friends and then charging the night on your card. So don’t even tempt yourself. Leave t hat puppy at home.Jared Kaplan:That’s right Ryan. But if you’re gonna bring your credit card out, make sure you spend wisely. Credit card debt can pile up faster than a cheetah running across the Tanzanian plain.Ryan Kaplan:Ok anyways, for more on managing credit card debt, check on our previous segment titled “Debt Dilemma”.

I mean, besides graduating, mine was living on campus and meeting some truly amazing people. But for thousands of students, moving away from home and leaving behind that special person in their lives can be really tough. So I’ve called our iMag relationship expert Marie Forlio to give us the 411 on campus relationships.Andrey:So tell me, Marie, how do you deal with a long distance relationship?Marie:Andrey, here’s a thing about long distance relationships. Especially when you’re about to go away to college, you gotta have a sense of humor and let yourself have fun. You gotta realize you’re at the beginning of a life stage where you’re gonna meet a lot of different people and have a lot of different relationships: so be generous with your heart; let your partner have fun; be sure you communicate honestly. A really great idea is to establish what the game rules are early on. So, are you guys allowed to kiss other people? Do you wanna go on dates? And if ever it gets to the point where it’s just too stressful for either one, just let it go. I’m sure when you go back h ome after a semester or after college is over, if it’s really meant to be, you guys will get back together.Andrey:So how do you meet someone new at school? Are bars and frat parties a bad idea? Marie:There’s tons of ways to meet people. Of course you c an do it at frat parties and bars and it’s never a bad time ’cos that’s the point in your life when you’re all gonna do that. But in your classes, in the library, walking around on campus, you can meet someone anywhere.Andrey:So, Marie, just give me som e basic Dos and Don’ts.Marie:OK. Let’s go with the Don’ts first, Andrey. So one big thing, don’t hook up with a guy, if you’re sloppy drunk, or he’s sloppy drunk. You’re just gonna find yourself doing the walk of shame in the morning. That’s not gonna be cute. No.2 on your Don’t: stay away from your friend’s guy. So if your friend is really interested in a guy or she’s been dating him for a little bit, stay away. It is not gonna be good for your friendship or good for anybody. And No.3: do your best to stay away from your professors. I know some can be cute, but let’s not go there. On the Do side, do date and have fun, go bowling, go to the theater, go to a museum, try different activities besides just the drinking thing. Next on the Do side, you do wanna date and what I mean by this is a lot of people get caught up in many marriages; they wanna find one person, stick with them and hold on for dear life. Don’t do it. Let yourself date different people. And on that note, your final do, broaden your horizons. See if you can get out there, and try people that have different interest than you. You’re gonna be surprised. You may just find someone wonderful, who you can have a great time with.Andrey:Ok, Marie, so you’re talking about dating and exploration in college, how far should we take that?Marie:So here is the thing. What you wanna do is really have a good time, but you got to take a look at what work for you personally. You’re comfo rtable with your sexuality and it means having different partners. I honestly don’t think it’s a bad thing as long as everyone’s practicing safe sex and it’s consensual. However, if you’re doing it as a manipulation to get the man to feel something for you, I would really suggest you take a good hard look and probably hold back for now, because it’s not gonna turn out the way that you expect.Andrey:Now you should be completely schooled on Campus Relationships 101.This is a great time in a lot of young people’s lives and we hope this information helps.

Listen for general understanding.The first: College age students are naive.The second: College age students get all those free offers in the mail for credit cards.The third: Typically students don’t examine their financial records.2. Listen for detailed information.1) third, five, cars, credit accounts, booths, social security number, background check, 150,0002) rusting, scarfed, cynical, good3) dangerous, 50, dispose of, name4) balance, precaution, hintTranscriptFinancial author Dave Ramsey explains to Julie Chen why students are the most likely target for identity theft and what they can do to stop it from happening.Anchor: Here is a warning for college students: you are a prime target for identity thieves. So before you go back to school, there are some things you and your parents need to know. Financial author and radio host Dave Ramsey is here to explain. Good morning, Dave.Dave Ramsey: Good morning.Anchor:I wanna begin by reading a letter that you got from one of your listeners,’cause it really illustrates the problem. This listener wrote: My third day at college, I applied for several credit cards on campus, five years later I found out that all of my personal information was posted on a website. I had cars bought in my name, and credit accounts across the country. A college student who ran one of the credit card booths was responsible for posting my information. Even though I now have a new social security number, I constantly have to monitor my credit reports. I have had to explain all this to employers that run a background check on me. Those free T-shirts almost wound up costing me 150,000 dollars. How likely is it that a college student will have their ID stolen?Dave Ramsey:More likely than any other age group, sadly that’s the No 1 age group for identity theft. And identity theft as we all know is a big deal on America right now. But this 18—29 age group the Federal Trade Commission says is the No 1 area, and of that group, the college agers, wow,the biggest group.Anchor: There are three main reasons you say. The first one being that college age students are naive.Dave Ramsey:We are so trusting. Sign up for five credit cards makes me look like an adult. Never thinking about that, all this information is just being scarfed and something is going to happen to it. You have to be a little bit cynical to avoid identity theft. You have to be a little bit paranoid. A healthy level of paranoid is good and those of us sort of being beaten up a little bit older we kind of know that.Anchor: The second reason you say is because college age students get all those free offers in themail for credit cards.Dave Ramsey: Well, they do, and they are dangerous, not only like that particular letter a lot of writers found, but also there up to 50 percent of them are getting one to six offers a week. And so you’ve got to dispose of these things properly. They just lay around in a pot with your junk mail. Someone comes along, picks that thing up, fills it out for you, using your name but someone else’s address. Now we’ve got a mess on our hands.Anchor: And the third reason is you say that typically students don’t examine their financial records.Dave Ramsey: Yeah,here is an idea, balance your checkbook. And here is an idea, pull your credit bureau report. These aren’t things I thought of when I was in college. But now you have to, in the environment that we live in today you’ve got to take a little bit of precaution. You gotta watch what you are doing. But if you’re balancing your checkbook, you’re opening your mail, you’re looking at what’s going on, you discover it. You have a credit card account that you didn’t open, then that’s a hint that you’ve go t a problem going here.Clip Five American Students under Heavy PressureKey1.

You know arts activities, sports activities. We think that’s great; we just want balance.Reporter: Dr Kent Ginsberg is a paediatrician and co-author of the 32-page report which says free and unstructured play is essential for the physical, social and emotional well-being of children. Dr. Kent Ginsberg: We do understand that play or even in school for example recess allows kidsto reboot. And as they reboot, they’re gonna absorb all of the rest of life’s lessons more effectively.Reporter: Dr.Ginsberg also says all work and no play could not only make Jack dull, it could make him depressed.Dr. Kent Ginsberg:We’ve taken care of a lot of kids who are showing the manifestations of stress. You know the bellyaches, the fatigue. They’re not sleeping well enough. You know by the time they get to the college, they’re seen to be in an increasing level of anxiety and depression. Reporter: But many parents fear slowing the pace means not keeping up with the Jones or the Jones’ kids.Reporter: So what do you guys want to do in two days, would you want...Reporter: That hasn’t kept the Brown family from Forward Texas from keeping two days a week free, just for fun.Interviewee 2: My son looked at me and said, Mom, I just want some me time. And I said, OK. Interviewee 3:It was too much...Reporter: And the parents we spoke with knew all too well about the preils of overscheduling. Reporter: So I’m just curious, do you get the sense that kids today are overscheduled? Interviewee 4: Absolutely. We actually had to make a conscious decision to unschedule them and to make more family time, because we realize we’re raising kids we didn’t even see. Interviewee 5:My wife and I both teach, so we try to really underprogram the supposed overprogram.Reporter: Really, why?Interviewee 5: Just so, the kids have a chance to grow up to be kids.Reporter:So if you’re in the quandary about how much is too much, you may wanna go directly to the source.Reporter: Would you rather be going to the farm or just hanging at home?Interviewee 6: Hanging at home.Clip Six School DinnersKey1. Listen for general understanding.1) It is unpopular.2) Yes.3) No, because it did not give the caterers enough time to do this.4) Firstly, the government still aren’t giving enough money; secondly, the changes on menus have happened too quickly.2. Listen for detailed information.1)a.Fb.Tc.Fd.Fe.Tf.Tg.Fh.T2)A-c B-b C-aTranscriptAnchorman: Healthy food is proving so unpopular in some parts of the country. There is a warning that some catering services are in danger of collapse.Anchorwoman:60 percent of English secondary schools who responded to a BBC survey reported a fall in the number of pupils wanting cooked meals. Now our correspondent Collette McBeth is at Chater High School in Ipswich for us. How is it looking there then, Collette? Collete McBeth: Well, this was supposed t o be the beginning of the school dinner’s revolution. Out with fatty foods like chips and chicken nuggets, more things like chili vegetable pasta we can see on the menu here. But now that these healthy meals are on sale, many school caterers are asking exactly how many pupils want to eat them.Collete McBeth: Lunch time at Barr’s Hill School in Coventry and there is a new healthier menu to choose from. This was one of the first secondary schools this term to adopt the government’s new guidelines limiting the amount of fried and fatty food. Good news you may think but the canteen here has seen a fall in demand. Some children are simply choosing to eat elsewhere. Interviewee 1:I go out of school for meals here because I don’t like healthy foods and I prefe r chocolate and crisps.Interviewee 2: I think I’d rather have a packed lunch because I can have anything I want and I know that I will actually eat it.Collete McBeth:And it seems to be the same picture in many parts of the country. The BBC spoke to 59 of the 150 local authorities across England. Almost 60 percent of them said the number of children opting for school meals had fallen since last year. In Scotland too, the latest figures show a small drop in the number of secondary school pupils eating school meals. While in Wales, Denbighshire has become the first local authority to say its whole school meal service is under threat. Some local authorities say the changes were rushed in too quickly and even blame the so-called Jamie Oliver effect. His ca mpaign may have got the government’s attention but it seems many children remain unconvinced.Irene Carroll: I think the government have got it wrong in as much as they did not give the caterers enough time to do this. They have not given the manufacturers enough time to actually get the products needed to comply with the regulations and to actually give enough information to schools and to pupils about why we are doing it.Collete McBeth: School food campaigners say there were always going to be teething problems and parents need to do more to encourage children to swap their chips and fizzy drinks for a healthier diet.Collete McBeth: So there are many possible explanations for this downturn. Jamie Oliver, who spearheaded the campaign, says that the government still aren’t giving enough money. They have pledged 220 million over the next 3 years. But when you take that down to each individual kitchen like this one and each individual pupil, it amounts to very little. The other reason is this may have all happened too quickly. Some campaigners say if you and I as parents were to swap the baked beans, for say, mung beans on the kitchen table, we too would meet with some resistance, and that’s exactly what’s happening in schools. Back to you.。

Lesson 1 NapoleonToday, I’m going to talk to you about one of the most important historical figures in European history: Napoleon Bonaparte. Let ’s start by talking about his early life. Napoleon was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica. When he was only 10 years old, his father sent him to military school in France. Napoleon was not a very good student in most of his classes, but he excelled in mathematics and military science. When he was 16 years old,he joined the French army. In that year 1785,he began the military career that would bring himfame ,power,riches and finally defeat. Napoleon became a general in the French army at the young age of 24. Napoleon had many victories on the battlefield but he also became involved in French law and politics. And in 1804, at the age of 35,he became the first emperor of the France.Napoleon was many things. He was, first of all, a brilliant military leader. His soldiers were ready to die for him. As a result, N.won many military victories. At one time he controlled most of Europe, but some countries, including England, Russia, and Austria fought fiercely against him. His defeat —“his end”came when he decided to attack Russia. In this military campaign against Russia, he lost most of his army.The great French conqueror died alone – deserted by his family and friends in 1821. Napoleon was only 51 years old when he died.=========================================================== Lesson 2 PompeiiThe lecture for this class is about the city of Pompeii. A natural disaster occurred there almost 2000 years ago.Today many rich people who live in large metropolitan areas such as Beijing, Paris and New York leave the city in the summer. They go to the mountains or to the seashore to escape the city noise and heat.2,000 years ago, wealthy Romans did the same thing.They left the city of Rome in the summer. Many of these wealthy Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii, a beautiful city, located on the Bay of Naples.In the summer of the year 79 C.E., a young Roman boy who later became a very famous Roman historian was visiting his uncle in P.. The boy’s name was Pliny the Younger. One day Pliny was looking up at the sky. He saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud. This black cloud rose high into the sky. What Pliny saw was the eruption of the volcano called Mount Vesuvius.Rock and ash flew through the air. The city of P . was at the foot of Mt. V.. When the volcano first erupted, manypeople were able to get out of the city and to escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000 people died. These unlucky people were buried alive under the volcanic ash.The eruption lasted for about 3 days. When the eruption was over, P . was buried under 20 feet of volcanic rock and ash. The city of P . was forgotten for almost 1,700 years.In the year of 1748 an Italian farmer was digging on his farm. As he was digging, he uncovered a part of a wall of the ancient city of P.. Soon archaeologists began to dig in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient city of P. was uncovered. Today tourists come from all over the world to see the ruins of the famous city of Pompeii.===========================================================Lesson 4 Roller CoasterLet's talk about the physics involved in a ride on a roller coaster. I'm sure many of you have taken a ride on a roller coaster. A simple roller coaster consists of a frame with a track on it. The track is very much like a train track, this track goes over a series of hills and around curves. It follows a path that ends at the same place it started. A trainof cars travels around on this track, very fast. The cars have two sets of wheels. One set of wheels rolls on top of the track, and the others set of wheels rolls below the track. The wheels below the track keep the fast moving cars from coming off the track, roller coaster cars as you probably know don't have any motors or engines. Instead, a chain pulls the cars up the first, tallest and steepy staff hill, this is how the ride begins. Then, at the top of the hill the chain comes off the cars and gravity takes over. gravity pushes the cars down the other side of the hill. the taller and steeper the first hill is, the faster the ride will be. And the farther the cars will travel. as the cars rolled downhill they gained speed. the cars have enough speed and energy to send them up the next hill. as the cars near the top of the second hill they begin to slow down. but then, the cars reached the top of that hill, and start down the other side. gravity again pushes them toward the ground. this process repeats on each hale. Okay, so let's go over this process again. first, the cars are pulled by a chain up the first highest hill. then they go down a very steep slope, at this point, there is enough energy to pull the cars up and over the next hill. when they reached the bottom of that hill, there is enough energy to climb the next hill, the roller coaster cars lose energy as the ride continues. so, the hills have to be smaller toward the end of the track, finally we roll to a stop on ground level right where we began.======================================================== Lesson 5 Language: How Children Acquire TheirsWhat I’d lie to talk to you about today is the topic of child language development. I know that you all are trying to develop a second language, but for a moment, let’s think about a related topic, and that is: How children develop their first language.What do we know about how babies develop their language and communication ability? Well, we know babies are able to communicate as soon as they are born,even before they learn to speak their first language. At first, they communicate by crying. This crying lets their parents know when they are hungry, or unhappy, or uncomfortable. However, they soon begin the process of acquiring their language. The first state of language acquisition begins just a few weeks after birth. At this stage, babies start to make cooing noises when they are happy. Then, around four months of age they begin to babble. Babies all over the world begin to babble around the same age, and they all begin to make the same kinds of babbling noises. Now, by the time they are ten months old, however, the babbling of babies from different language backgrounds sounds different. For example, the babbling of a baby in a Chinese-speaking home sounds different from the babbling of a baby in an English-speaking home. Babiesbegin a new stage of language development when they begin to speak their first words. At first, they invent their own words for things. For example, a baby in an English-speaking home may say ―baba‖for the word ―bottle‖or ―kiki‖for ―cat.‖In the next few months, babies will acquire a lot of words. These words are usually the names of things that are in the baby’s environment, words for food or toys, for example. They will begin to use these words to communicate with others. For example, if a baby holds up an empty juice bottle and then says ―juice,‖to his father, the baby seems to be saying, ―I want more juice, Daddy‖or ―May I have more juice, Daddy?‖This word ―juice‖is really a one-word sentence.Now, the next stage of language acquisition begins around the age of 18 months, when the babies begin to say two-word sentences. They begin to use a kind of grammar to put these words together. The speech they produce is called ―telegraphic‖speech because the babies omit all but the most essential words. An English-speaking child might say something like ―Daddy, up‖which actually could mean ―Daddy, pick me up, please.‖Then, between two and three years of age, young children begin to learn more and more grammar. For example, they begin to use the past tense of verbs. The children begin to say things such as ―I walked home‖and ―I kissed Mommy.‖They also begin toovergeneralize this new grammar rule and make a log of grammar mistakes. For example, children often say such thins as ―I goed to bed‖instead of ―I went to bed,‖or ―I eated ice cream‖instead of ―I ate ice cream.‖In other words, the children have learned the past tense rule for regular verbs such as ―walk‖and ―kiss,‖but they haven’t learned that they cannot use this rule for all verbs. Some verbs like ―eat‖are irregular, and the past tense forms for irregular verbs must be learned individually. Anyway, these mistakes are normal, and the children will soon learn to use the past tense for regular and irregular verbs correctly. The children then continue to learn other grammatical structures in the same way.If we stop to think about it, actually it’s quite amazing how quickly babies and children all over the world learn their language and how similar the process is for babies all over the world.Do you remember anything about how you learned your first language during the early years of your life? Think about the process for a minute. What was your first word? Was it ―mama‖or maybe ―papa‖? Now think also about the process of learning English as a second language. Can you remember the first word you learned in English? I doubt that it was ―mama.‖Now, think about some of the similarities anddifferences involved in the processes of child and adult language learning. We’ll talk about some similarities and differences in the first and second language learning processes tomorrow. See you then.===========================================================Lesson 7 RobotsWhen people think about a robot,they often picture a machine that look s something like a human being.However,that’s not always the case.Mo st robots do not look much like a human being at all,they look like machi nes because that’s what most of them are-industrial machines.Today,I’m going to talk mostly about industrial robots used in industry. These are robots that do work that for humans would be physically dema nding,repetitive,dangerous or very boring.Most industrial robots work on in an assembly line in a factory.For example,a robot might put liz on j ars of fruits or start boxesfor shaping.In a car factory,robotic arms on an assembly line join the parts of a car together;other robots tighten the b oats on the car’s wheelsor paint the car.There are thousands of robots p utting cars together in___plan.These robots are very precise when repe ating a task.For example,they always tighten boats with the same exact amount of force.They always move a heavy engine to exactly where it should be and they always put ahold in the exact same place in every car d oor hour after hour.These are examples of robots doing the work human s could do but the robots are doing the work more efficiently and precise ly.So,just how do robots work?To do its job a robot first needs a control s ystem.This control system directs the robots mechanical parts.The contr ol system of a robot is sort of speak--a robot brain.So how does a robot learn which action to do first and whi ch of its moving part needs to do that action?A robot learns its job with the help and guidance of a human being.To teach an industrial robot to do something,first a person must use a hand-held computer.The computer is used to guide the robot’s arm and hand through the motions it needs to do.Then,the robot stores exact movem ent in its computer memory.The robot has sensors to gather information ,so now the robot will use its sensors to direct its actions.The robot tells its moving part what to do and then it performs the action.For example, to pick up and move a box,the robot first finds the box,next it decides t he weight of the box.Then it decides how much force is needed to lift an d move the box,and finally,it finds the correct place to put the box dow n.It repeats the process over and over until it's turned off.It does the sa me job until it is given the job and new program to follow.Some scientists think that robots of the future will be smarter than today's robots.They may also look more human like or even animal like.In fact,they may wo rk and think more like humans do.The industrial robots we've been talki ng about so far today are automatic robots.They are known as automatic robots because they have program to follo w a specific series of ually,they have parts that move but t hey really don't travel around.On the other hand,an autonomous machi ne can change itsbehavior in relation to its surroundings.For example,an autonomous robot with wheelsor legs to move around can change direc tion when it senses that there are something in its way.A robot such as …can detect the movement of people nearby.It can move to avoid bump ing into ing toward it.Asthma can even learn to dance by followi ng the movements of a dancer next to it.I don't know whether or when people would welcome autonomousmachines or human like robots.I gu ess that we will not only think about that in the future.We need to think about how we will interact with our global doctor:robal teacher,robal p et,or even our robal friend.===========================================================Lesson 8 A Tidal WaveA tidal wave is a very large and very destructive wall of water that rushesin from the ocean towards the shore. Many scientists call these waves tsunami. In Japanese tsunami means “storm wave.” But do you know that tidal are not caused by storms and that they are not true tidal at all? A true tidal is the regular rise a waves and fall of ocean waters, at definite times each day, but a tidal wave comes rushing in suddenly and unexpectedly. A tidal wave is caused by an underwater earthquake. The word “seaquake” is made up of two words, the word “sea” which means “ocean” and the word “quake”. “To quake” means “to shake” or “to tremble.” When a seaquake takes place at the bottom of the ocean, the ocean floor shakes and trembles, and sometimes the ocean floor shifts. It is this shaking that produces the tidal wave. The tidal wave begins to move across the sea at great speed.Tidal waves have taken many human lives in the past. Today scientists can predict when a tidal wave will hit land. They use a seismograph to do this.A seismograph is an instrument that records the strength, the direction, and the length of time of an earthquake or seaquake. It is not possible to hold back a tidal wave, but it is possible to warn people that a tidal wave is coming. This warning can save many lives.===========================================================Lesson 9 Levels of LanguageToday I want to talk about levels of language usage. You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two general, broad categories, or levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English is no exception. I’m not talking about correct and incorrect English. What I’m talking about are two levels of correct English. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books such as encyclopedias, and in business letters. For example, a letter to a university would be in formal style. You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school. People usually use formal English when they give classroom lectures or speeches and at ceremonies such as graduations. We also tend to use formal language in conversations with persons we don’t know well or with people we have a formal relationship with, such as professors, bosses, doctors, friends of our parents’, strangers, etc. Informal language is used in conversations with colleagues, family and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends, as well as in diaries, etc. Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. However, today I’m going to talk only about a couple of ways. First of all, formal language tends to be more polite. Interestingly, it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or familymember, "Close the door, please", but to a stranger or someone in authority I probably would say "Would you mind closing the door" or "Excuse me, could you please close the door" Using words like "could" and "would" makes my request sound more polite, but also more formal. Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let me give you a couple of examples of what I mean. Let’s say "I’m just crazy about soccer!" But if I were talking to my supervisor or a friend of my parents’, I would probably say "I really enjoy soccer" or "I like soccer very much". Let’s say I’m telling someone some news I heard about the police arresting a criminal. To my friend I might say "The cops bagged the crook". To my parents’ friend I might say "The police arrested the thief".Although the line between formal and informal language is not always clear and although people are probably less formal today than in the past, it is useful to be aware that these two levels, or categories, do exist. The best way for a non-native speaker of English to learn the difference is to observe the different ways English speakers speak or write in different situations. Television newscasters, your college professors in class, your doctors in their offices, etc, will usually speak rather formally. However, your classmates, teammates, family members, friends, etc. will generally speak in an informal fashion. The difference can be learned over time byobserving and interacting with native speakers.===========================================================Lesson 10 Power: The Kinds People Use and Abuse John Mack, who is the author of a book about power, says that the need for a sense of personal power is one of the primary forces in human life. On the other hand, he also says that a feeling of powerlessness is one of the most disturbing of human emotions ―a feeling to be avoided at all costs. Just what is power?Psychologists define power as the ability to determine or to change the actions or behavior of other people. Psychologists are trying to identify different kinds of power so that they can better understand how people use these different kinds of power to gain control over other people. They are trying to understand how people manipulate other people for good and evil purposes. Psychologists have identified five basic types of power, and I’d like to talk about each of these briefly in the next few minutes.The first type of power is called information power. Some psychologist believe that information power is one of the mosteffective types of power and control. The person who has information that other people want and need, but do not have, is in a position of power. Why is this? Well, most people like to receive and have information. Having information increases a person’s own sense of power. People who provide information can manipulate those who do not have information. Often, when people receive information, they do not know that they are being manipulated by those who provided the information. The psychologist named Edwards says, for example, that newspapers provide a lot of information to their readers, and that these newspaper readers generally believe the information they read. Readers do not question the accuracy of the reports about world events they read in the newspapers.A second type of power is called referent power. For example, a person may want to behave like the members of a particular group, such as a soccer team ( or a group of classmates), or a person may identify with and want to be like a certain teacher, a friend, or say , a rock star. If you identify with another person, that person has power over you, and that person can influence your actions and behavior. Many people imitate and are controlled by the people they identify with. Let me give you a sad example ofthe use of this type of power for evil purposes. In the 1970s in Jonestown, Guyana, more than 900 people committed suicide when their religious leader Jim Jones told them to kill themselves. They did what he told them to do because he had referent power over them. They identified with him; they believe him, and they did what he told them to do. More recently a man named David Koresh controlled the lives and destinies of a small community of men, women, and children in Waco, Texas. Most people in his community died in a fire, along with their leader, during a confrontation with U.S. government agents.A third kind of power is classified as legitimate power. Government officials, according to Edwards, have a lot of legitimate power. When the government decides to raise taxes or make people go to war, most people will do what their government officials tell them to do. One psychologist reported on an experiment that showed an example of this type of power. In this experiment, a researcher asked people on the street to move away from a bus stop. When he was dressed as a civilian, few people moved away from the bus stop. When the researcher was dressed as a guard, most people moved away from the bus stop.The guard’s uniform seemed to give the researcher a look of legitimate power.A fourth kind of power is called expert power. An expert is a person who is very skilled in some area, such as sports, or who knows a lot about something, such as computers. Most people are impressed by the skills or knowledge of an expert. Some of these “experts” use their skills at playing sports or knowing about computers to gain power and influence ―and t o gain money or admiration, according to Edwards. In other words, they use their expertise to gain power.Finally, reward or coercive power is used by people who have the power to reward or punish another person’s actions or behavior. Giving a reward will change people’s behavior because it offers people a chance for gain. Giving a punishment may or may not cause the people to do what the powerful person wants them to do, but the changes may not last for a long time. The person who uses coercive power may also have to carefully watch thatthe less powerful person does, in fact, change his or her actions or behavior.To sum up, then, power may be gained in many ways. It may come from having information that other people want or need; it may come from being a referent for other people to identify with or to imitate; it may come from having an official, or legitimate, position of authority; it may come from having skills or expertise; or it may come from having the power to reward or punish people. We all exercise one or more of these various kinds of power over other people, and other people will try to exercise one or more of these kinds of power over us throughout our lives.==================================================Lesson11 Asian and African Elephants:Similarities and Diff erencesThe African and the Asian elephants are the largest land animals in the w orld.They are really enormous animals.The African and the Asian elepha nts are alike,or similar,in many ways,but there are differences between the2types of elephants,too.What are some of the similarities between the African and the Asian ele phant?Well,for one thing,both animals have long noses,called trunks. An elephant sometimes uses its trunk like a third hand.Both kinds of ele phants use their trunks to pick up very small objects and very large,heavy objects.They can even pick up trees with their trunks.For another thin g,both the African and the Asian elephants have very large ears,althoug h the African elephant’s ears are considerably larger.In addition,both animals are intelligent.They can be trained to do heavy work.They can also be trained to do tricks to entertain people.In other words,they both work for people,and they entertain people also.As I said before,the African and Asian elephants are alike in many ways, but they are also quite different,too.Let me explain what I mean.The Af rican elephant is larger and heavier than the Asian n eleph ants reach a height of about 10 feet, and African elephants reach about 13 feet tall.The African male elephant weighs between12,000and14,000pounds.I n contrast,the average Asian male elephant weighs between7,000and1 2,000pounds.So one is bigger than the other, but as you can see,both are still enormous animals.Another difference between the2kinds of elephants is the size of the ea n elephants have smaller ears than African elephants.The Africa n elephant has2very large teeth.These teeth are called tusks.The Asian elephanthowever sometimes does not have any tusks at all.The elephants differ i n color,too.The African elephant is dark gray in color while the Asian ele phant is light gray.Occasionally an Asian elephant is even white!The lastbig difference between the2 typesof elephants is their temperament.The Asian elephant is tamer than the African elephant, orin another way,the African elephant is much wilder than the Asian eleph ant.As a result,it’s more difficult to train the African elephant to perfor m tricks to entertain people.That’s why the elephants you see in the circ us are probably Asian elephants and not African elephants.Yes,there certainly are differences between the African and the Asian el ephants,but as I mention at the start of mytall,there is one big similarity between the2animals:they are both fasci nating and enormous animals.===========================================================Lesson 13 Lincoln and KennedyJohn F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln lived in different times and had very different family and educational backgrounds. K ennedy lived in the 20th century; Lincoln lived in the 19th cen tury. Kennedy was born in 1917, whereas Lincoln was born m ore than a hundred years earlier, in 1809. As for their family b ackgrounds, Kennedy came from a rich family, but Lincoln’s f amily was not wealthy. Because Kennedy came from a wealthy family, he was able to attend expensive private schools. He graduated from Harvard University. Lincoln, on the other hand, had only one year of formal schooling. In spite of his lack of f ormal schooling, he became a well-known lawyer. He taught himself law by reading law books. Li ncoln was, in other words, a self-educated man.In spite of these differences in Kennedy and Lincoln’s backgr ounds, some interesting similarities between the 2 men are ev ident. In fact, books have been written about the strange coin cidences in the lives of these 2 men. Take forexample ,their political careers. Lincoln began his political car eer in congress. Similarly, Kennedy also began his political car eer in congress. Lincoln was elected to the U.S. House of Repr esentatives in 1847, and Kennedy was elected to the House in 1947. So they were elected to congress exactly 100 years apart. Another interesting coincidence is that each man was e lected president of the United States in a year ending with the number 60. Lincoln was elected president in 1860, and Kenne dy was elected in 1960; furthermore, both men were presiden t during years of civil unrest in the country. Lincoln was presid ent during the American Civil War. At the time Kennedy became president,African-Americans were fighting for theircivil rights ,unrest took the form of civil rights demonstrations.Times change and it’s just over 15 more years,the United States elected its first African-American president Barack Obama. President Obama was elected in 2008 and…,but let me get back to talk about Lincoln and Kennedy.Another striking similarity between these 2 men was that, as y ou probably know, neither president lived to complete his ter m in office. Lincoln and Kennedy were both assassinated whil e in office. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 inDallas, Texas, after only 1,000 days in office. Lincoln was assas sinated in 1865 a few days after the end of the American Civil War. It’s rather curious to note that both presidents were sh ot while they were sitting next to their wives.These are only a few examples of the unusual similarities in th e destinies of these 2 Americans – men who had a tremendou s impact on the social and political life in the United States an d the imagination of the American people.。

AScriptsAs many of our students are approaching graduation, today I’m going to talk about the issues you should pay attention to when looking for your first job. First, you should start with a self-assessment of your skills, values, and interest. Work with a career counselor on this, because it’s difficult to be objective when working alone.Once you’ve done your self-assessment, you can explore your career options and career paths. This process can be time-consuming. It involves reading about careers and talking to professionals in the fields that interest you. Informational interviews or even casual conversa-tions might be helpful. If you’re really serious about a career, consider job shadowing or an internship.Next, you can target companies for your job search. There are several aspects to consider. For example, look for companies that focus on employee development. In addition, investigate the rewards that companies offer. The quality of the company is important, too. It should look good on your résumé for future jobs.When you try to identify particular positions, there are many considerations concerning re-wards. Is the salary sufficient for your needs? Is the benefits package competitive? Remember that these may depend on the location. A salary that funds a great lifestyle in Buenos Aires might be too low to live on in Paris. And here’s a final piece of advice: Don’t fall into the so-called “salary trap” by looking for a higher, steady salary instead of a lower salary at, say, a tech start-up that might soon increase dramatically, resulting in much higher incomes in the long run.2. Questions:1. What can you do to explore your career options and career paths?2. According to the speaker, why should you avoid taking a job at a low-quality company?3.

But take a break for just a minute and listen to this. Here are three jobs you can apply for that seem too fun to be real!First, there’s a large Italian ice cream company that hires people to develop and taste new flavors. These so-called “flavor gurus” do research and take customer suggestions to get ideas for the next delicious flavor. A food science degree or related training is required. They usually eat at least two pints of ice cream at work every week ‒ and even more at home! Or, how would you like to have a beautiful Caribbean island all to yourself? As an island caretaker, you can. When wealthy island owners fly off on their private planes, they hire someone to take care of their residence. Caretakers might need to do some gardening, cleaning, or repair work, but most of their time is free. If you love nature and don’t mind being alone, why not apply?Finally, how about hugging giant panda cubs for a living? The China Conservation and Re-search Center for the Giant Panda needs panda nannies. The nannies will spend all their work-ing hours with these wonderfully cute animals, holding, feeding, and playing with them.

I’m Matt, I work in virtual reality and this is how you get my job.That’s recording …At Animal we make a lot of films, and because we need to check how the films look on a big screen, we have our own cinema. Awesome! When I was growing up I always loved films, always loved ah animation especially, and for some reason it never occurred to me that that was an actual job, that people could be paid to do that. I still have to kind of pinch myself every day. I say, I, I, I … I get paid, it’s my actual job, to make things like, like a virtual Lego Batman, it’s… . So Animal’s been around for a while, so we’ve got lots of cool trophies over here, got a jukebox over there, everyone loves a jukebox.The best thing about my job is that I’m always learning. When I first started this job I started as a character animator, so I was making characters move and dance and talk; but then I fell into doing effects, did that for a while and then virtual reality came along.So, virtual reality: imagine you had a screen that you could strap on your head and the screen knew exactly where your head is at any point in time. And the thing is, when I put this on myhead it doesn’t just feel like looking at a screen, it feels like I’m inside a space, inside a room, inside a virtual room and that's what virtual reality is.And the clothes, yeah, because I do more, cute. That. T hat’s it. T hat’s it. T hat’s what I want.It’s only really been around for maybe a couple of years, but if you think of all the kinds of things that you might be able to do from just being here with a computer, rather than having to physically go to a place. So I could virtually go to a classroom on the other side of the world, or I could watch an operation happening. I could do so many things because I don’t have to physically be somewhere; but right now i t’s mainly games.So my typical day’s pretty various: I’ve done virtual owls that look pretty real, I’ve done talking holograms for Avengers, I’ve done Batman, Lego movies, I’ve had to come up with virtual Lego rain, all kinds of strange things.So, getting into VR specifically: there are university courses starting to appear, but by the same token you can learn a lot of this stuff by yourself. So the Internet is a fantastic resource: there’s all kinds of learning material out there, so that can be as simple as Photoshop, or that can be doing 3D programs; all the principles you can learn from stuff you can just download onto your home computer really easily.My top 3 tips for getting into this industry would be:∙Step 1, learn to draw; you don’t have to draw great, but just get comfortable with the idea of drawing and showing your work to others.∙(Step 2), get comfortable with Math; you don’t have to be amazing at Math, but just good enough that you can follow along.∙And step 3 would be get used to making pictures on a computer; if you can think of your computer as a big pencil, and you just get comfortable with that process, that’s a really good start.…I’m gonna take a selfie on that background, selfie node, arms up …Thanks for coming, and see you at the movies.L ISTENING 2V OICE OF C HINA2. Answers43. Answers1. returning to; abroad2. indicates; optimistic3. reverse culture shock; adapting to4. recruit; campusesScriptsAccording to the Ministry of Education, more young Chinese people than ever are returning to China after completing their studies abroad. The number of people returning from overseas increased from about 100,000 in 2009 to over 500,000 in 2018, and that figure is expected to rise.These people have various reasons for coming back. A recent survey indicates that being op-timistic about China’s future is the most important reason. They also mentioned being close to family, accessing China’s booming job market, and enjoying the comfort and convenience of the Chinese lifestyle.Once back in China, these people find both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, their knowledge of foreign languages, cultures, and management makes them valuable to companies that do business internationally. On the other hand, they may experience some-thing known as “reverse culture shock”, which means they have difficulties adapting to the domestic job market and Chinese workplace culture.These people who’ve studied abroad have made a lot of contributions in various industries. By virtue of their broad knowledge and international experience, they have been placed in positions to bring new management concepts. Moreover, some companies listed on foreign stock exchanges are either run or funded by people who returned from abroad. As such, Chi-nese students are warmly welcome back home after completing their studies abroad. Some Chinese companies even recruit young Chinese people on foreign university campuses.F URTHER LISTENINGC ONVERSATION1. Answers1. A2. A3. B4. DScriptsCharles: Hi, Kiki!Kiki: Hi, Charles.

This will help to improve the recruitment process by scanning résumés, automating interviews, and removing bias in candidate assessment.The huge number of résumés that corporations receive is nearly impossible for a human to go through. AI-powered résumé-screening software, however, can review thousands of résumés in seconds.The software checks résumés and searches for relevant information. It also removes sources of bias by assessing a candidate without referring to their gender, age, or even name. The software identifies desirable employee characteristics by comparing candidates’ résumés with those of successful professionals.Another innovation is AI-powered interview software. The software asks questions and analyzes the answers, even evaluating a candidate’s voice to decide whether the individual is being honest. Although it is currently only an initial step in the hiring process, recruiters find it helpful for interviewing, assessing, and hiring candidates.AI in recruitment still faces challenges. Many recruiters don’t trust AI yet, and AI sometimes follows the biases in existing systems, such as hiring from particular universities. However, many believe that the advantages of AI in recruitment outweigh the disadvantages.Questions:1. What can we learn about AI from the news report?2. How can AI-powered interview software decide whether someone is telling the truth?3. What is the problem that AI in recruitment faces?P ASSAGE 23. Answers1. D2. C3. A4. CScriptsGraduation is approaching, and many of you will be beginning your job search. Interviews are a central component of the recruitment process. You already have some general ideas about face-to-face interviews. In today’s workshop, we’re going to review three specific types.First, there is the candidate group interview, where several candidates are interviewed simul-taneously to allow the interviewer to assess how you interact with others. You should expect role-plays and group activities to test your social and leadership skills. To make a good im-pression, don’t be shy, and treat the other candidates as partners, not rivals. Listen to them carefully, and respond to what they say, just as if you were members of a team.Second,a panel or committee interview involves one candidate and several interviewers. It’s crucial to connect with them all because they all have a say in the hiring decision. Therefore, learn their names and their positions, ideally before the interview. This will help you to focus on each interviewer in turn as you speak and respond appropriately to their questions and also help you to make a connection.Finally, some high-pressure industries conduct stress interviews to test how candidates perform under pressure. The interviewer might ask you, “How do you think this interview is going?” or suddenly ignore you. Whatever happens, remember it’s a test and that the interviewer is probably a nice person. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, express yourself clearly, and, above all, keep your cool.Questions:1. In which type of interview is teamwork important?2.

I once received a résumé that seemed to have no address. By chance, it fell off my desk, and I saw the contact information on the back! Bad idea! It should be clearly visible near the top of the first page.I remember another résumé for an accounting position. The work experience section included the top accounting firms in Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed until I got to the end, where the candidate included a college job in a coffee shop. You should remove irrelevant work experience. It doesn’t help and gives the impression that you didn’t edit your résumé.I once reviewed the résumé of an excellent manager but was surprised to see that he used the word “I” 35 times in the work experience section. It’s repetitive and unnecessary. Since it’s your résumé, whoever is reading it knows that it is about you!Finally, a designer submitted a résumé in a fancy pink font on beautiful Japanese paper. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to read. Hiring managers have limited time. That’s why we like clear résumés. Be careful using colors, unusual fonts or font sizes smaller than 11 points.。

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy‟s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing n concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for V ienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.1. Which of the following is true of Mozart? D2. How long has Mozart‟s fame lasted? A3.

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to Y ou”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to Y ou” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters‟ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to Y ou”. Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters”original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to Y ou”had altogether replaced the sisters‟ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1.teacher at a kindergarten2.Good Morning to All3.Happy Birthday to Y ou4.Happy Birthday to Y ou Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher‟s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to Y ou” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one.

F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp” for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank Y ou for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesT ony: Listen!
