Students have to begin as early as possible and have to proceed as quickly as possible around the track. Success is measured by how many students cross the finish line in the short time .In America, we recognize the race too, but we feel that the students have a chance to explore things for themselves, even if not all of them reach the finish line. As a result of their exploring, some of the participants may have more to offer by the end of the race.The advantage of the Chinese way is that more students become proficient and reach the finish line. The disadvantage is that they may have less to say or to show once they get there. The disadvantage of the American way is that some students never finish the race. The advantage, however, is that some who do go "all the way" have very interesting and original things to say when they get there.1. F T T T F F2.1) race 2) race 3 ) proceed 4) explore things for themselves 5) proficient 6)interesting7) original 8) less 9) finish the raceListening IIOnce Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant greeted both of them and said, "May I ask why you have come to my humble house" The Goddess of Wealth said, "We want you to judge between us who is the most beautiful."The merchant did not know what to say. He knew he was between the devil and the deep blue sea: If he said that Wealth was more beautiful than Poverty, Poverty would curse him. If he said that Poverty was more beautiful than Wealth, Wealth would abandon him. However, he became calm and said, "I have great respect for you both. Would you please do what I ask of you It is the only way I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said, "Mother Wealth, would you please walk towards my house Mother Poverty, Would you please walk away from my house This way I can see you both better, from near and far." The two Goddesses did what the merchant had asked them to do. Then the merchant confidently declared, "Mother Wealth! You appear most beautiful when you are nearest my house. Mother Poverty! You look most beautiful when you are farthest from my house." The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of Wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of Poverty cheerfully departed.Whenever we have a serious problem, if we look within and think calmly, a solution will come in answer to the problem.1. F T F F F2. 1. Why did the two Goddesses go to the merchant’s place C2. What would happen if the merchant declared the Goddess of Wealth to be more beautifulthan the Goddess of the Poverty B3. What did the merchant ask the Goddesses to do D4. What was the reaction of the Goddesses A5. What does the story tell us CListening IIIThere is an old and common saying in the United States that "There is nothing new under the sun." I thought of that today while reading an article in a magazine. The article tells about the growing number of people who are building earth-sheltered houses, which are partly underground. I had known about modern earth-sheltered houses, but I had never thought about their roofs before. Instead of having metal or tiles on the roofs, many of these houses now have living roofs. The wooden top of the house is covered with a special waterproof plastic material. On top of this there is soil, in which grass and flowers are planted. Such a roof can be very beautiful. But this really is not a new idea. When the early settlers came to the United States, they often made their houses by digging into the ground. Their roofs were made of wood, and then covered by large areas of soil with grass or turf. They were warm, though not always waterproof. People replaced these houses and roofs as soon as they could live in regular wooden homes with wooden or metal roofs. Now, 200 years later, some people think of this as a new idea. But I think, "There is nothing new under the sun."1. 1) partly underground 2) living 3 ) digging into the ground 4) grass waterproof2.Questions:1. W hat does the speaker mean by saying "There is nothing new under the sun"2. W hat makes the speaker think of "earth-sheltered houses"3. W hat is a living roof4. H ow many years ago did the early settlers first build earth-sheltered houses5.

He didn't want to take time away from his card games to eat, so he ordered his butler to makesandwiches instead.Woman:Is that so Hey, look at this. The first beauty contest was held in Belgium in 1888. Why in Belgium of all placesMan: W hy not Oh, here's one I bet you're proud of.

He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags""Sand," answers Juan.The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard takes the two bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders and lets him cross the border.A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got" "Sand," says Juan.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years. Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a bar in Mexico."Hey, buddy," says the guard. "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't sleep.

The oldest known piece of pottery was found in China and dates back to 7,900 BC. That's almost 10,000 years ago!The first pots were large bowls, formed by taking a lump of clay and making a bowl shape. Pottery doesn't just include pots, but anything made from clay that can hold things, such as jugs, vases and cups. Pottery was used to hold water, milk, seeds and grains.Later, people learned to mix different clays together to make stronger pottery and to put the pottery in a fire oven so that the clay would harden faster. The potter's wheel was invented in China around 3100 BC. The wheel spins clay like a top. It allows people to make pottery much more quickly and makes shapes that were perfectly symmetrical—bowls that were really round, rather than lumpy or uneven. Pottery is not only considered one of the first inventions but also one of the first art forms. Most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; some even tell a story!1.

The characters on this show are mainly puppets, and probably the most loved of the puppets is a gigantic yellow bird called "Big Bird".Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird all the years of Big Bird's existence on American television. Spinney's love of puppets and his own creativity led him to this career. When he was five years old, he saw his first puppet show. He loved the show and never forgot it. When he was seven he bought a used monkey puppet for five cents. His mother had made him a stuffed snake from green material, so he got the idea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage fromwooden orange boxes and his mother's old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance.Spinney's family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more. For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eightcolorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, "The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped at the end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment."Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life's work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on "Sesame Street", he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.1-5 T T T F F6-10 T T T F F。

He happened to pick up some bright yellow particles from the water near his sawmill. Not knowing what they were, he took them to hismaster Mr. Sutter. Sutter immediately realized the importance of the discovery and sent a man to San Francisco to inform the governor of it so that he could get permission to found a settlement on both banks of the river. Unfortunately in the beginning, the man did not believe it. Only after a reporter from a weekly newspaper went to Sutter's sawmill to make a report, did the news spread all over the USA, and even to Europe.Within a month, thousands and thousands of people hurried towards California to search for the valuable metal. Soldiers deserted the army, sailors left their ships and all sorts of people gave up their jobs so as not to miss the chance of becoming rich. Large number of Europeans joined in the search, too. Crowds of people, ships and wagon trains rushed to the same destination. This was the California Gold Rush. While this went on, families were broken up, husbands were taken away from their wives and children from their parents. On their way to California, lots of worshippers of gold lost their lives before they got a single particle of it. Some of them were killed in storms at sea; some could not stand the extraordinary hardships, and died of hunger, cold or illness.The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself. For years he tried to drive the prospectors off his land to keep the entire wealth for himself. The prospectors hated him very much, and did a great deal of damage to his business. All Sutter's houses were burned down and all his family, except for himself, were killed. At the end of his life, he became a beggar, whocontinually stopped passers-by in the street to tell them that gold is the devil.1. What lesson can we draw from this story?2.When did the news of the gold discovery spread all over the USA?3. Why were many families broken up and husbands taken away from their wives?4. What happened to Mr. Sutter in the end according to the story?5. What does the story tell us?II.1. In 1848.2.

They did much damage to his business, burned down his houses and killedhis family.Passage II.Functions of MoneyThere is an ancient rhyme about money which goes like this:"How many uses does money have? Four.A means, a measure, a standard, a store. "This rhyme forms an excellent basis for a discussion of the main features and functions of money. Money is a means, it is a means of exchange. It enables us to exchange goods and services. Things valued in terms of money become commodities; they can be bought and sold. Money, whenever it is available, provides the opportunity to obtain useful things or replace old things with new ones.The second thing our rhyme tells us is that money is a measure. It serves as a measure of value. It enables us to measure the value of all kinds of goods and services. The items sold by a large store may be very different from each other, but all without exception can be measured by the same measuring rod, namely money. Two things which are not similar in any way may have the same price.Thirdly, money is a standard of value. This means that money itself possesses a value which can remain approximately constant. To serve as a standard, a thing or a substance must remain fixed and unchangeable in comparison with other things. The amount of money in a country should vary, but it should vary in a regular way. It should correspond to the quantity and value of goods and services available for exchange and circulation in that country; if this quantity and value increases, the amount of money in circulation should be proportionately increased.Finally, money is a "store." We store money just as we store other things. Money does not go bad, though in times of financial crisis it may lose some ofits value. It enables us to provide for future needs and situations. When we save money weekly or monthly and deposit it in a bank, our savings serve as a store of value in general; they give us the opportunity to make our choices later instead of making them immediately. When we store money we store the power to choose or to decide, so that we can use this power on future occasions.1. How many functions does money have?2. Why do we say that money is a means?3. What is the main feature of commodities?4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?5. What happens to money in times of financial crisis?II.1. rhyme, features, functions2.measure, measure of value.3. similar, same price4. "store", store other things5. choose, decide, future occasions.Passage IIICredit CardsAmericans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on variousexpenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, go to sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don't pay with cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit cards.Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It allows the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customers to pay high interest on the unpaid part of the charges.In this way the bank allows customers to buy things they can not afford at one time. People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. They also do not need to carry a lot of money.

英语听力（课后第四题）Unit 6 — Business and Economy4. Shopping Centers in the UKTapescriptDan: Now there are a lot of shopping centres in the UK, and we went to the Canary Wharf Shopping Complex in East London to talk to some of the shoppers about what they like or dislike about shopping centres. One man compares the experiences of shopping centres with shopping at boutiques on a local high street.Rob: The high street is the main shopping street in a town or area; in America they call it ‘main street’. And a boutique is a small shop, which usually specialises in fashionable items.Dan: So let‘s listen to the speaker as he compares shopping in a local high street and a shopping centre; what does he say is the advantage of going to a big shopping centre?I love t he choice in a big shopping centre; I don‘t think it replaces localisedshopping so a nice boutique in a local high street I think always has a place. But that said if you want a good deal, a good discount, a good sale I think you need to go to a big shopping centre really.Dan: So the shopper there said he liked the choice of a big shopping centre. It‘s the place to go if you want a good deal, a good discount or a good sale.Rob: A discount is a reduced price –it’s when something costs less than normal.A good deal means the same –it‘s when you buy something for a good price. Dan: We have a clip here from another shopper describing shopping centres in the UK.She says they’re quite vast and open and have a massive variety of shops. Rob: Both vast and ma ssive mean very large. So there‘s a massive variety of shops in the shopping centres.Dan: So let‘s listen to the clip. What types of restaurant can you find in British shopping centres? Shopping centres are usually quite vast and open and full of a massive variety of shops but they’re quite standard. So each shopping centre tends to have exactly the same basic shops that you come to expect. You sort of tend to get the same standard restaurants and food outlets as well in shopping centres, so either fast food or slightly more upmarket restaurants.Dan: She says you get the same standard restaurants in a British shopping centre: either fast food or more upmarket restaurants.Rob: Fast food is what we call anything that can be served and eaten quickly, often from restaurant chains, such as McDonalds, Burger King or Subway.Dan: And what about the upmarket restaurants?Rob: Upmarket means something of high quality that generally appeals to peoplefrom higher social classes. The opposite is downmarket.Dan: Of course, not everyone likes shopping centres. Some people say they find them too crowded.Rob: Mm, crowded, when there are too many people. I agree, particularly at weekends or during the holidays when there are lots of people, a lot of these shopping centres are far too crowded to shop, or walk, or even move! BDirections: Listen to the dialogue again and decide whether the following statements are true or false.1) A boutique is a small shop, which usually specialises in fashionable items. ( T )2) A big shopping centre is the place to go if you want a good deal, a good discount ora good sale.( T )3) A discount is a reduced price –it‘s when something costs less than normal. A good deal means differently. ( F )4) Shopping centres are usually quite vast and open and have a fewvariety of shops but they‘re quite standard.( F )5) Not everyone likes shopping centres. They are far too crowded to shop, or walk, or even move, particularly at weekends or during the holidays. ( T )Unit 7 — Cultures4. Table Manners and Diet CustomsTapescriptM: Last weekend, I went as a guest to a Chinese friend‘s house. It was really an interesting experience! I felt a little bit of cultural shock.F: Really? So you discovered a few China and America‘s differe nt customs.M: Definitely. First, Chinese and Americans have very different ways of accepting gifts. When I went to their house, I brought a bottle of wine as a small gift. I originally thought we would drink together as we ate. So I surprised when the host put it aside and didn‘t open it. I really didn‘t understand but I didn‘t say anything.F: You shouldn‘t have worried. That‘s just a way Chinese people accept gifts. It‘s considered impolite to open something right when you receive it. The way Chinese people see it, opening the gift on the same occasion that you receive it seems to imply that you only want to see whether the gift is good or bad and you don‘t care about the thought that your friend put into it.M: Oh really? Well I guess it was just a misunderstanding then. Americans almost always open the gift right away. Then they can say something nice to show that they like what the person gave them.F: When you were having dinner, did they keep encouraging you to eat and drink?M: Yes! They were al ways saying ―Eat some more! Take a bit more!‖ And the moment there is a bit space in my bowl, they immediately gave me another helping. That day I had 4 bowls of rice, ate I don‘t know how much food. I ate so much I couldn‘t walk in a straight line. In America, the host won‘t urge the guest to eat and drink more. The guest just eats however much they want to eat.F: That‘s just the Chinese way of being friendly and welcoming to one‘s guests. For Chinese people, making sure their guest eat their fill and eat well is the most important thing.M: Also they set up this incredibly abundant table of food but then they said there is nothing here to eat, it wasn‘t prepared very well and other things like that. And it seems even stranger to me. If they have prepared well, then how many dishes will they have to have?F: They were just being modest. Even if they had prepared more, they still would have said that. And Chinese hosts would always prepare a whole lot of dishes. Because if they are among meager selection, the host will feel that he had lost face. Preparing a huge feast is a way of showing your respect for the guest.M: Oh the Chinese customs are so complicated. I will never have understood if you haven‘t told me.F: Every culture has its own particular ways of doing things though. There are some western customs that Chinese people think are hard to understand.M: I guess what I have learned is that when you study a language, you also have to understand the culture that behind it because otherwise it‘s e asy to create misunderstandings and miscommunications.F: I agree.B Directions: Listen to the dialogue again and decide whether these statementsare true or false.1) When the man went to the host‘s house, he brought a bottle of wine as a gift andthey drank together in the dinner. ( F )2) When Americans accept a gift, they almost always open the gift right away. ( T )3) American hosts are always saying ―Eat some more! Take a bit more!‖( F )4) Chinese hosts like to say that there is nothing here t o eat, it wasn‘t prepared verywell and they mean it. ( F )5) Since the man has been studying Chinese for a long time, he knows all the customs quite well.Unit 8 — Transportation and City Life4. Foggy California City is Tops With TouristsB Directions:Listen to the passage again and decide whether the followingstatements are true or false.1) Each year Los Angeles ranks first or second in the nation in touristvisits. ( F ) 2) Considering so many attractions, it‘s no wonder San Francisco is a desirable andexpensive place to visit. ( T ) 3) San Francisco gets a lot of rain, but its winters are cold and its summers warm.( F ) 4) San Francisco has a fleet of 37 cable cars which are the only ones of their kindremaining in the world. ( T ) 5) T he ―hippie‖ experience of San Francisco‘s 1967 ―Summer of Love‖has quitefar-reaching influence on some American people. ( T ) TapescriptFoggy California City is Tops With TouristsHilly San Francisco is America‘s 13th-largest city. Three other California cities — Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose — are larger. Yet each year, San Francisco ranks first or second in the nation in tourist visits.What‘s the attraction? Why did singer Tony Bennett, in his signature song, leave his heart in San Francisco, rather than, say, Boston or Cincinnati?Perhaps it‘s the setting: shrouded in fog along 40 steep hills, overlooking glistening San Francisco Bay. Many of the densely-packed neighborhoods clinging to these hills are filled with ornate Victorian hous es called ―painted ladies.‖ Considering its ocean beaches, bustling commercial waterfront, two of the world‘s most striking bridges, and the largest urban park west of Philadelphia, it‘s no wonder San Francisco is a desirable and expensive place to live and a treat to visit.Add in its lively theater scene, the oldest ballet company in the United States, dozens of art galleries, and thousands of fine restaurants, and San Francisco exudes sophistication.The city does get a lot of rain, but its winters are mild and its summers cool. Really cool. In fact, there‘s a delightful saying —incorrectly credited to humorist Mark Twain —that the natives enjoy: ―The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.‖Among the city‘s top visitor attract ions is Chinatown —the largest Asian community outside Asia. And one of the enduring symbols of San Francisco is its fleet of 37 cable cars —the only ones of their kind remaining in the world.San Francisco‘s hills themselves are tourist attractions —especially aserpentine stretch of Lombard Street that everyone calls the ―Crookedest Street in America.‖In the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, you can still run into people who are trying to recapture the ―hippie‖ experience of San Francisco‘s 1967 ―Summer of Love.‖ And in San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Prison, which once housed the worst of the worst federal prisoners, is open for tours.These unique allurements explain why the American short-story writer O. Henry wrote, ―East is East, and West is San Francisco.‖Unit 9 —Health4. Link between Heart Health and EducationB Directions:Listen the passage again and decide whether the following statementsare true or false.1) Less educated people tend to have more heart attacks and other so-calledcardiovascular events.( T )2) The correlation between more education and fewer heart attacks, strokes, and othercardiovascular events was strongest among women in richer countries.( F )3) Educated people in lower- and middle-income countries tend to avoid risky behaviors like smoking, or they eat better, or get better medical care.( F )4) Women in Latin America are increasingly targeted by tobacco companies.(T )5) More educated women in lower- and middle-class countries are more likely to get better positions with health care insurances.(F )TapescriptNumerous studies have found a connection between education and the risk of heart disease and stroke. More educated people tend to have fewer heart attacks and other so-called cardiovascular events. But new research finds that the correlation doesn't apply everywhere.Previous studies have been done almost entirely in richer, industrialized countries. Abhinav Goyal of Emory University in Atlanta wanted to see if that link between heart disease and education applied in low- and middle-income countries."So what we found is that there is a relationship between education level and cardiovascular events that differs both in terms of gender and in terms of world region," says Goyal.The correlation between more education and fewer heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events was strongest among men in richer countries. The linkwas weaker among women in rich countries and men in lower- and middle-income countries."And then finally, when you looked at women in low- and middle-income countries, there was almost no difference - meaning that, unlike men in high-income countries, it does not appear that education is protective against cardiovascular events in women in low- and middle-income countries," says Goyal.Educated people in richer countries may be less likely to have cardiovascular disease because they tend to avoid risky behaviors like smoking, or they eat better, or get better medical care.But in lower-income countries in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East - where the people in this study live - many of those women are moving into urban areas, taking sedentary office jobs. They are increasingly being targeted by tobacco companies. And there may be social limits to what women can do. "Because of some of the social constructs of some of the low- and middle-income countries, women are not as free to have access to the family income," says Goyal, "and their education may not necessarily translate to better employment, and then they may not be in a position always to seek health care and follow-through with those plans." Goyal's study suggests that it's wrong for physicians and policymakers to assume that just because people get more schooling they will automatically adopt a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Abhinav Goyal's research appears in the journal Circulation, published by the American Heart Association.Unit 10 — Computer and the Internet4 Virtual WorldsB Directions:Listen to the passage again and decide whether the followingstatements are true or false.(F) 1) One can buy real land in a virtual game since the line between the real worldand online ‗virtual worlds‘ is becoming increasingly vague.(T) 2) By playing MMOGs thousands of people can play simultaneously on the internet, interacting or competing with each other.(T) 3) Some gamers have spent real money inside the game while other online gamers have used their virtual investments to make a profit.(F) 4) A gamer, known as Deathifier, paid £40,000 for an island in the game ProjectEntropia in 2004.(F) 5) The BBC has bought a virtual island in the game Second Life to stage onlinemusic festivals and showcase new musical talent.TapescriptThe line between the real world and online ‗virtual worlds‘ is becoming increasingly blurred with gamers spending real money to buy virtual commodities and even real estate in digital worlds.Welcome to the world of MMOGs, Massive Multiplayer Online Games. For those who don‘t know, an MMOG is a computer game which thousands of people can play simultaneously on the internet, interacting or competing with each other.Some of the most well-known MMOGs include Second Life, World of Warcraft and Legend of Mir II.Whilst many of these kinds of games involve role-playing and fulfilling tasks, others simply offer an alternative universe where players can socialise, earn money and trade with each other.In recent years ‘social’ MMOGs like Second Life and Project Entropia have invited gamers to spend real money inside the game. And whilst many people might find this strange, some online gamers have used their virtual investments to make a profit.A 23-year-old Australian gamer, known as Deathifier paid around £14,000 for an island in the game Project Entropia in 2004 and within a year had recouped his investment by selling land to other gamers to build virtual homes on. The young entrepreneur is highly confident that his digital assets will continue to be profitable.―The money made to date is only a taste of what can be achieved with my virtual island purchase,‖ said Deathifier, ―There is still more room for growth and revenue with the untapped resources surrounding the land.‖Here at the BBC we are never slow to embrace new technology, and have rented a virtual tropical is land within the game Second Life. The BBC’s island has been used to stage online music festivals and showcase new musical talent. It is hoped that it will also bring gamers closer to their favourite artists.BBC interactive ed itor, Daniel Heaf, said, ―There may be opportunities to have people like Justin Timberlake on spaces like this—that will allow a level of interaction with the audience that we have never tried before.‖。

新编大学英语视听说教程4_听力原文与答案
视听说4 听力原文及答案Unit 1 Leisure activitiesPart 1 listening oneEver wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your ne w tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate histhoughts to the audience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. DPart 1 listening two(The following is an interview from a weekly sports program.) Presenter: Good morning, listeners. Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. BPart 1 listening threeGerry: I've just been to see Gone with the Wind. It was fantastic. Well worth seeing. Have you ever seen it?Judy : No, but I've read the book. I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

After the wedding, there is a big party—a wedding reception. All the guests eat dinner. There is a band and, after dinner, everyone dances. Sally's mother and father pay for everything. At the end of the reception, Sally and her new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house. After moving in, they invite their friends and family to a party—a housewarming party. Everybody comes to see the new house. They look at the bedrooms, the dining room, even the garage. Pete and Rose serve drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. The party is on a Saturday afternoon.It is Christmas time. Ted and Sarah Robinson want to see many of their friends over the holiday. So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes, others stay for 3 hours. About fifty people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party. They don't serve much food, just snacks—pretzels, chips, peanuts and many types of drinks. No one dances. Conversation is important with people asking questions like "What's new with you?".Keys:1.√2 √32.4.d inner band dances piece2.5.house drinks snacks2.6.Invite arrive fifty/502.7.snacks Conversation new with youPart 4 Listening 1Receptionist: Good morning.

Can you give me some information about days and times, please?Receptionist: Yes, there are four classes a day, every day from Monday to Saturday with nothing on Sunday.Cathy: Yeah, can you tell me the open hours?Receptionist: The first one is an aerobics class from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning. Then there's another aerobics class at lunchtime from12:30 to 1:30.Cathy: Right.Receptionist: Then in the evening from 5:30 to 6:30—another aerobics class too. And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30. Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK fora beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me giveyou a schedule.Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class? Receptionist: You pay a ￡1 entrance fee and then the classes are ￡2.50 each and ￡3.50 for the jazz dancing. It's there on the sheet. Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two weeks. Receptionist: Oh, right.

Woman: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive. Woman: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet.

It seems that theRomans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible?Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have first started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the English began to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until 1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5.

Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hardas you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says, "OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." Suddenly, the guy starts to recite flawless Shakespeare followed by a short pause and an extremely insightful analysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, "Hey, triple my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." The guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have puzzled scientists in all fields.The last guy is so impressed by the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my IQ." The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."The guy says, "No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free." "Please," says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking... It'll change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?"But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, "Done." And he becomes a woman.Keys: 1. F 2. F 3. F 4. T 5.

We both know that many communication specialists believe that gender bias exists inlanguage, culture and society. Do you think this is really so? Dr. Herring: Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin duringchildhood. Children usually play together with other childrenof the same gender, and this is where our conversational styleis learned.Bob White: Can you give some specific examples?Dr. Herring: Certainly. We find that girls use language mainly to develop closeness or intimacy as a basis for friendship. Boys, on thecontrary, use language mainly to earn status in their group.Bob White: But, in communication through electronic devices like e-mail discussion groups, there should be no gender distinction ifwriters' names are not used in the messages.Dr. Herring: One might think so, but in fact, email writing style is more comparable with spoken language, so basic language stylesare still evident.Bob White: I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral!Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because ofdifferent communication and language styles between thesexes.Bob White: How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts to back up this impression?Dr. Herring: Yes. I've done a research project using randomly selected e-mail messages from online discussion groups. I found thatfemales use language that is more collaborative andsupportive such as "Thanks for all your tips on...", "Goodpoint." and "Hope this helps!". Men tend to use moreaggressive or competitive language such as "Do youunderstand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd tothink...".Bob White: How great are these gender differences?Dr. Herring: Males write messages using aggressive, competitive language more than twice as often as females did, while females usecollaborative and supportive language three times as often asmales did. In this study, it is clear that there is a genderdifference in e-mail messages just as in other communicationmedia.Bob White: So the "battle of the sexes" is still with us, even online. Questions:1. According to Dr. Herring, when is children’s conversational style learned?2. Which of the following is most similar to e-mail writing in style?3. Why is there still no equality on the Internet?4. What comparison did Dr. Herring make in her speech?Keys: 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B2.1. language, culture, society, cultural expectations2.2 closeness intimacy, earn status2.3 collaborative supportive, aggressive competitivePart 1 listening threeJohn: Cathy, do you think it's appropriate for females to continuously expect guys to behave in a standard gentlemanly fashion like opening cardoors?Cathy: W ell, I think it would be nice if men could do such things.John: My side of the theory is that we all have to admit that we are living in the world of change. Right? Sometimes the equation changes if the driver is a girl and the passenger is a guy who doesn't drive. So what happens? Should the girl open the door for the guy or should the guy open the door for the girl? Maybe we should just adopt an "open your own door" policy.Cathy: Yes, I agree, John. But...sometimes it's just a matter of courtesy. It doesn't matter who opens the door for whom. Maybe females just should not expect too much. Life isn't a fairy tale after all.John: It's absolutely true. Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth. Rather what I meant was except for the physical and natural differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them.Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out a chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, asmany guys don't do it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of meand went through the door first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold thedoor and not let it slam in my face.John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it forthe people behind me, be it a girl or a boy. I actually had the door slam right in my face a number of times though, when the person walking closely in front of me didn't hold the heavy glass door and let it swing back in my face. Of course, I tried to hold the door, but it was too heavy and too late. But I think it was more embarrassing for him than me as everyone was looking at him, while I was rubbing my squashed nose.Cathy: So being a gentleman does not stop at opening doors. There are many other aspects I believe.Keys:1. T T F F T 2. D A B A BPart 1 listening fourDo you know how you learned to be a woman? Do you know how you learned to be a man? What makes the difference in terms of gender and our roles in society? Even when our physical structures are revealed to be really similar, women and men "tend" to play different roles in society. In an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today, we find a study that reflects how parents of fifteen girl babies and fifteen boy babies differed in their descriptions of their babies. Despite the fact that objective data such as birth length, weight, irritability, etc. did not differ, when the parents were asked to describe their babies, they said that girl babies were softer, littler, morebeautiful, prettier, cuter than boy babies. Based on these facts, we could conclude that parents' attitude is influencing their children.Our parents and later our school, television and the Internet are showing us a whole set of expected behaviors that create our patterns. Thus, a simple cartoon can suggest to children how they are supposed to act. Male cartoon characters are not only more prominent than female characters, but they also portray a broader range of masculine traits. Male characters are powerful, strong, smart and aggressive.Of course roles have been changing over the past decades. Nowadays, women are not necessarily expected to stay home raising their family and supporting their husbands. In the same way, men are no longer expected to be the only breadwinners like they used to be; now women and men share these responsibilities. But traditional roles still have a big influence. Keys:2. F F T T F2.1reflects descriptions 2.2 parents’ attitudes2.3suggest, act 2.4 raising their family, supporting their husbands 2.5used to be, share these responsibilitiesPart 4 Listening 1"Equal" does not always mean "the same". Men and women are created equally but boys and girls are not born the same.You throw a little girl a ball, and it will hit her in the nose. You throw a little boy a ball, and he will try to catch it. Then it will hit him in the nose.A baby girl will pick up a stick and look in wonder at what nature has made.A baby boy will pick up a stick and turn it into a gun.When girls play with Barbie dolls, they like to dress them up and play house with them. When boys play with Barbie dolls, they like to tear their hair off. Boys couldn't care less if their hair is untidy. But for girls, if their hair got cut a quarter-inch too short, they would rather lock themselves in their room for two weeks than be seen in public.Baby girls find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting their faces. Baby boys find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting the walls.Boys grow their fingernails long because they're too lazy to cut them. Girls grow their fingernails long—not because they look nice—but because they can dig them into a boy's arm.Girls are attracted to boys, even at an early age. At an early age, boys are attracted to dirt.Most baby girls talk before boys do. Before boys talk, they learn how to make machine-gun noises.Girls turn into women. Boys turn into bigger boys.Keys: 1. 1 hit 1.2 try to catch 1.3 in wonder 1.4 turn…into1.5 dress, play house 1.6 tear…off 1.7 care less 1.8 lock, in public1.9 painting their face 1.10 painting the walls 1.11 lazy, cut 1.12 dig…into 1.13 boys 1.14 dirt 1.15 talk 1.16 make machine-gun noisesListening 2In order to understand this story, you have to know the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. In this nursery rhyme, the words in the title have no meaning. The rhyme goes like this:Hickory Dickory Dock,The mouse ran up the clock.The clock struck one,The mouse ran down!Hickory Dickory Dock.Here is the story:One day I took my seven-year-old son with me to shop for an electric wall clock for the kitchen and found a whole counter full of them on sale at a discount store. I had trouble deciding which clock to buy. While I held one clock in my hand and looked at another, I asked my son which one he liked better.“The one you’re holding with the mouse in it, Mom,” he said.Before I understood his words, a real, live mouse jumped out onto the counter and ran away. I screamed so loud everyone turned to see what was wrong. I was so embarrassed. I tried to make my way quietly out of the store. Everyone was looking at me. On the way out the door, my delighted son recited Hickory Dickory Dock. What a naughty boy!Questions:1.Where did the story take place?2.Why did the mother ask her son which clock he liked better?3.Which clock did the boy like best?4.Why did the mother feel embossed?5.Why did he boy recite Hickory Dickory Dock?Keys:2. B 2. D3. A4. C5. DListening 3Men, it is said, are generally more aggressive than women and enjoy taking risks. They play fighting games and enjoy "dares". More men than women are convicted for crimes, especially crimes of violence.Some say that this is simply a matter of biology; others suggest that it is a function of the way we organize the sex and gender roles in our society. In fact, many of the findings, in this area, have turned out to be unsatisfactory,。

1. What do you think is the relationship between money and happiness?
In my opinion, money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. There are lots of rich people in the world who live unhappy lives. Happiness is just a state of mind, and it mainly depends on how you look at people and things. However, having money sometimes does make us feel a little happier because it can help us to gain what we want more easily.

Maybe a %(1)% offered in the new job, possibly it's just a %(2)% , or it could be because they can't stand their management, and they believe their supervisors are doing a bad job about it.My next guest says that %(3)% is the main reason why people leave their jobs.He's Stephen Taylor, he's a lecturer in management atManchester Metropolitan University. It's good morning to you!# This is an extraordinary finding that basically you are saying poor management and super vision, finally people said, "That's enough, I'm off."# That's right; I think that's very right. We've interviewed about %(4)% people in depth about their last %(5)% . We've asked them to tell us in detail why they left their last jobs. And that's the %(6)% finding of our research, and it's sort of a %(7)% reason. I think a lot of organizations don't understand, don't realize how important this is.But certainly most people, the majority of people that was the %(8)% reason they left.# Now when we talk about s-poor supervision or bad management, we're obviously talking about more than, say, %(9)% , abuse, bullying and that sort of thing. Y ou are really talking about they are not doing their job, absolutely, not supervising.# There are examples of bullying, and just unpleasant treatment, abuse of power and so on, but they're a minority. It's much more common to find examples of ineffective management of %(10)% , not listening to %(11)% , not listening to people, just not managing in effect actually. # And that, of course, those managers would say that they are %(12)% from their own managers. # That's very tricky, we have also interviewed supervisors themselves and we get the same thing from them. They will complain about the area manager, and so on and it goes up the %(13)% .# Is that %(14)% in the system of %(15)% in the corporation? If it's so common and in so many countries, what can be done?# Well, a lot can be done. I think it's a hidden reason, I don't think it's so much endemic in the bureaucracy. I think they just don't realize because when people leave a job, that's not the reason they give. They are not honest. They say they are leaving for %(16)% , or they are leaving for %(17)% , or something of that kind. So I just think they don't actually realize how important this factor is. Because a great deal can be done about it, well, you can select %(18)% on their %(19)% , rather than for their technical skills; you can give them %(20)% in basic people management skills.# But, you see, the problem with that, Steven, is every time when anybody sits on a course in “People Management”, “Human Resource Relations”, “Managing Y our Staff”, everybody says “What a load of %(21)% .” Y ou know, bunny rabbit's gone mad.# Well, maybe that's the problem, it's not rubbish. It's very %(22)% .It's costing industry %(23)% because people are leaving. They have %(24)% them %(25)% , they %(26)% , they've spent huge %(27)% getting them in there, then they walk out the door. It's really about time people took the issue a bit more seriously.# And a final thought, when are you next going to look at this again to determine if there've been any changes? Before you resign?# Well, that's right. I think it will be an on-going study and I've certainly got a long way to get to it.I want to look at various different professional groups and see how they vary. That's what I would like to do next.# Well, Steven, assuming you haven't resigned to go elsewhere, please do come back and talk more about it, absolutely fascinating, thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much.a higher salary career advancement bad management 200job-move main hidden primary sexual harassment sweeping problems under the carpet grievances suffering the same problem the hierarchy endemic bureaucracy more pay personal reasons supervisors supervisory skills training rubbish very serious millions and millions of pounds a year trained up selected them amount of moneyU1How do your current designs and your current collections fit in with your manifesto or are they two separate entities? My manifesto applies to my gold label but it applies particularly to "World's End" because I wanted to. That's the shot where I did punk rock and everything and I thought what would I tell young people these days and I wanted to activate it. I wanted to get a great look in there that was cheap enough to buy and yet you looked great good quality all this stuff and put also lots of my old favourites in there that never will date and you can just wear them forever and get a real look in there. And I needed some T-shirts. My manifesto started with me putting graphics together. All these ideas from my graphics active resistance to propaganda. This is Rembrandt. Y ou don't see him very well on there but that's "AR" for Active Resistanceand it's like not only Che Guevara is a rebel. Rembrandt was a rebel. He really changed the world. He changed the world we see. He changed ethics. Y ou know when you see the world differently you change your point of view and it's only culture can do that and that's what my manifesto is about and as regarding fashion. Fashion is not...it's on the side of culture. It's very much to do with social life and I can't say that it's... I'm not saying it's art terribly - it's too ephemeral - but it's definitely to do with your taste and showing the kind of person you are and I just think it would be absolutely great if people dressed up and that was a way of showing that they were concerned about the world and I think if they bought designer clothes they could have very sustainable clothes because you shouldn't buy too many... you should just buy something that you really choose... that you really want and you really like and it suits you and you should wear it every day until it's worn out and you'll always look great and like for example if somebody was doing that and you'll be coming along the street now thinking "there's that guy again, you know he looks really cool". It's great to wear the sa me clothes and I think the status in wearing the same clothes over again .if you've chosen the greatest clothes. Do it and wear evening dresses for daytime and whatever you like if you can only afford one thing or get your own things together and that's one of the reasons I ask these little kids to get involved when I do my Paris show.1.What is Vivien Westwood famous for ?For Punk rock designs2.What does Westwood advise people to do to get a great look ?People should be dressed up and buy a designer’s clothes ,some sustainable clothes and people can get their own things together .3.What does “AR”stang for ?It stands for Active Resistance .4.What are Westwood’s graphics ?Propaganda5.Please explain some of Westwood’s views on fashion ?Fashion is on the side of culture .It has much to do with social life it is definitely to do with a person’s taste ,showingwhat kind of person one is .。

The first of these was the rapid growth of the technological and professional education to meet the urgent demands of a complex industrial and urban society. New schools of technology, engineering, architecture, law and medicine flourished. The second wasthe provision for graduate study, such as what had long existed in France and Germany. Harvard and John Hopkins Universities quickly took the lead in this field, but the state universities did not lag far behind. The third was the increased provision for the education of women. This included the establishment of new women's colleges, such as Vassar, Wellesley and Smith, and the adoption of co-education in all the new state universities outside the South as well as in many private institutions: These developments, the growth of the technological and professional education,the provision for graduate study, and the increased educational opportunities for women began over a century ago, well over thirteen decades since the end of the Civil War.I.

On November 15th, 2000, Peter Taylor gave me the greatest honor of my career in making me Captain of England and fulfilling my childhood dream. Now almost six years later, having been captain for 58 of my 95 caps I feel the time has arrived to pass on the armband as we’re entering a new era under Steve McClaren. It has been an honor and a privilege to have captained their country and I want to stress that I wish to continue to play for England and look forward to helping both the new captain and Steve McClaren in any way I can.

It is an annual tradition of the United States of America. People, towns, high schools and colleges come together, usually in late September or October, to welcome back former residents and alumni. It is built around a central event, such as a banquet（宴会）or a game of American football, basketball, or ice hockey. When celebrated by schools, the activities vary widely. However, they usually consist of a football game played on the school’s home football field（主场）, activities for students and alumni, a parade featuring the school’s marching band, and the coronation（加冕礼）of a Homecoming Queen (and at many schools, a Homecoming King). Related “Homecoming Dances” can be either boy asking girl or Sadie Hawkins style（女追男）. At most major colleges and universities, the football game and preceding tailgate（球迷的汽车后挡板作餐桌的聚会）are the most widely recognized and heavily attended events of the week. Sometimes during the school week, a picnic could occur.

Before listening, students are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural note related to the report.TranscriptSports Fans, US Businesses Await “Sup er Bowl Sunday”“Super Bowl Sunday” is virtually a holiday in the United States. Not an official holiday, of course, but many activities around the country will come to a halt when American-style football’s championship contest begins in southern Florida.This year the Super Bowl pits the Indianapolis Colts against the Chicago Bears. Over the past 40 years, the game has become an important part of the American sports calendar ... a time to get together with friends and neighbors ... and a big shopping event.Millions of Americans—more than ever before, according to a recent poll—will be watching the big game in restaurants or bars, or hosting Super Bowl parties. And well over a million consumers are buying home entertainment centers, and other accessories to enhance their viewing of the big game.It all adds up to a huge payday: the National Retail Federation says nearly 9 billion dollars will be spent on Super Bowl-related purchases.The Super Bowl is no longer an exclusively American event. Last year, an estimated one billion people around the world tuned in to watch the game.Taking advantage of cutting-edge technology, this year’s Super Bowl will be broadcast in HD—high-definition—format TV.Chuck Sanders, a manager at Best Buy, a big electronics store in Washington explains, “HD is generally a higher-definition signal versus a standard signal. Basically, you’ll get a brighter, sharper picture than you would with a standard picture coming in the house.”And the best way to get the full effect of HD broadcasts is to watch them on high definition television sets—the bigger, the better, and preferably a flat-screen model.Salesmen like Abbey Giewa, at a Microcenter electronics store in the Washington suburbs, are expecting a big rise in HDTV sales,“Absolutely, because right now, (the shoppers are saying,) I want to share that experience with my family and friends. I want to have that big-screen TV,” he explains. “I want to be the one to host the Super Bowl party.”Sanders adds, “It’s an opportunity for everyone to entertain. So there are more people coming in looking for TVs versus any other time of the year.”Since the 1960s when the Super Bowl began, the game also has become a media event, featuring new commercials and a lavish half-time show with top names in entertainment.So even if the football match turns out to be a dud, television viewers—especially those with HDTV equipment—can still enjoy the other attractions that make this Sunday really super.(From /voastandard/2007/2/36939.html) Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Listening for General UnderstandingStudents are asked to listen to the report carefully and choose the best answers to the questions.1) B2) C3) BExercise 2 Listening for Specific InformationStudents are asked to listen to the report again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1) The National Retail Federation says nearly 9 billion dollars/$ 9 billion will be spent on Super Bowl-related purchases.2) Super Bowl game features new commercials and a lavish half-time show with top names in entertainment.3) For some retailers, Super Bowl game is a huge payday.Part III Oral PracticeIn this part, students have 3 tasks to accomplish.Task 1 Role PlayStudents are asked to create their own dialogues based on the following roles and settings.
