Unit 1 Studying EnglishPart BListening TasksScriptTalking About Studying EnglishAt a gathering of students from China and some other countries, Yang Weipingand Virginia Wang, both first-year college students, are talking about their learningof English.Hello, my name is Yang Weiping. I‟m a freshman at Beijing University and I‟m majoring in Chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I chose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I‟m getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I‟ve decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult.When I graduate from the university, I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Part CAdditional ListeningScriptHow to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don‟t know. Now I‟m trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about the new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I‟ve understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening context.Unit 2 Fun with LanguagePart BScriptHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that‟s the biggest mistakes of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people‟s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather—It sure is cold today, isn‟t it?News—-Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn‟t always go smoothly. Sometimes yo ur partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn‟t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Part C Additional ListeningScriptSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good.Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? You‟re rig ht. The frowning students.The specialists don‟t know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DScript:Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is to be "beside oneself". You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement.The dictionary tells us that "beside" means "next to", or "at the side of". So the expression"beside oneself" describes something that really is not possible.Today, you might hear a husband say, "When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy." Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job.When you are full of joy or are extremely excited about something, you may do something else that is strange. You may "flip your lid". A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you "flip your lid", you become so excited that you lose your self-control.Unit 3 School LifePart BScriptAccommodation for College StudentsR:Good morning. Can I help you?S: Yes, please. I'm a new student and I'd like to have some information about the ...em...the accommodation for students.R: Right. The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence and self-catering accommodation.S: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?R: For a single room, £37.86 per week, that's about £5.40 a day. For a double room, it's £52.78 per week. This will apply throughout this academic year.S: I'd like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is it from the residence to the university?R: It all depends. The residences at Elms Road and Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freemen's Common Houses at William Road are half a mile.S: When do I need to apply?R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?S: Undergraduate.R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.S: Could you possibly tell me what to do, if no vacancy is available?R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.S: Where‟s the office?R: In the Students‟ Union Building.S: Whom can I contact?R: Mr. Underwood. David Underwood, the manager of the accommodation information office. S: Thank you very much.R: You are welcomePart CScriptWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow‟s class es. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Part DScriptDespite what your parents and others try to make you believe, life at college may not be the best experience you will ever live through. Why?The simple one word answer is: Roommates. One has often heard about the guy that never sleeps or the girl who always has her friends over or the one who studies all the time and becomes very disturbed by the slightest movement you make. Okay, they are not all that bad. So how do you get them to stop?You can't do it. It's impossible. The only way you will be able to live with your roommates is by compromising. If you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. If you don't like to listen to music while you are studying but one of your roommates does, ask him to use headphones. Talk about your habits and ask your roommates about theirs. Respect your roommates and your roommates will respect you.You may not be friends with your roommates by the end of the year but you may be friends with them the year after, when you are no longer rooming together. This is alright though. Sometimes it's too difficult to try to live together and be good friends at the same time. Roommates are not always meant to be your best friends.Remember: Not only do you have roommates, you are a roommate. Be good to your roommates.Unit 4 Going to a PartyPart BScriptSmall Talk Is EasyA: Mike, guess what?B: What?A: Carol just invited me to a party at her house on Saturday.B: Carol? You mean the pretty girl in your economics class?A: Yeah.B: Great! I‟m sure you‟ll have a super time.A: I‟m not so sur e.B: What do you mean, John? I thought you really liked Carol.A: I do. But I don‟t know her friends very well.B: So get to know them.A: But I‟m no good at small talk.B: Small talk is easy. You can learn.A: By Friday?B: Sure. I‟ll coach you. You just have to remember a few simple sentences.A: I don‟t know. I have trouble remembering things. Especially when I meet people. I get nervous. B: Don‟t worry, John. You can do it. You just need a few tips.A: But what if I say something stupid?B: Relax. You won‟t. But even if you do, it‟s all right. Everyone makes mistakes.A: Yeah, especially me! What if I‟m boring? No one wants to listen to a bore.B: Hey, you're not giving a speech. You're just having a conversation. So just talk about something you know they are interested in.A: That's the problem. I don't know what Carol's friends are interested in.B: Let them tell you. If you let people talk about themselves, they'll think you're interesting.A: You mean something like, "So, tell me what you're interested in."B: Well, you don't have to be that direct. For example, you can talk about the weather.A: You can't be serious. The weather's boring.B: It's a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you say, "What do you do in such terrible weather?"A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they liked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that‟s what small talk is about, is it? Well, I‟ll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You‟re welcome. Have a good time at the party.Part CScriptAre You Calling About the Party?Laura: Hello. This is Laura David speaking.Simon: Oh, hello, Laura. This is Simon here, Simon Williams.Laura: Oh, Simon. How nice to hear from you. Are you calling about the party? You did get the invitation, didn‟t you?Simon: Yes, thanks, I did. That‟s just it, I‟m afraid. You see, I‟m already tied up that evening. Laura: Oh, reall y? That‟s a pity.Simon: Yes. I‟m afraid it‟s been planned for ages. You see, some friends of mine are coming from Scotland to see me. I haven‟t seen them for a long time, and you know … well …I managed to get some tickets for the opera, and I promised to take them out to dinnerafterwards. I can‟t get out of it, unfortunately. I wish I could.Laura: Oh, what a shame! We were looking forward to seeing you. Still, if you drop in later with your friends, we‟d love to see you.Simon: Thanks. Well, I‟ll certainly try, but I don‟t think there‟s much chance. Actually I‟ve sent you an e-mail to say that I can‟t come.Laura: Oh, have you? That‟s very kind, thanks. Well, keep in touch, Simon.Simon: I will. Regards to James. And I hope the party goes well. Bye!Laura: Thanks. Bye.Unit 5 TelephoningPart BScriptA Business CallA: Good afternoon. ABC Imports. May I help you?B: Yes, may I speak to Mr. James Johnson, please?A: I'm afraid Mr. Johnson isn't available right now. Would you like to leave a message?B: This is Richard Alexander with Star Electronics.

He can reach me at my office number before 6 p.m. or anytime today on my mobile.A: Very well, I'll give him your message as soon as he returns to the office.Part C Additional ListeningScriptGood Luck CompanySecretary: Good Luck Company.Applicant: I‟m calling in connection with your post of computer sales representative.

But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived the store was closed and two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods are defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the shopkeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and started selling the defective goods right away.The shopkeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladies‟ purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.。

Unit1 Writing for Myself 为自己而写1.The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but itwasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I've been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这一想法才有了实现的可能。

我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。

我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。

Unit 1 Growing UPPart Text A Writing for MyselfⅡWhen we are writing we are often told to keep our readers in mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten. Can you guess who? Russell Baker surprised himself and everyone else when he discovered the answer.我们写作时常常被告诫,脑子里要有读者,笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。

但有一位读者特别不该忘记。

你能猜出是谁吗?当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时,他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。

弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。

据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。

我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。

他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。

他身穿古板的套装,领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。

他长着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来一本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。

3. I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long timewas not disappointed. Late in the year we tackled the informal essay.Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering us a choice of topics.None was quite so simple-minded as "What I Did on My Summer Vacation," but most seemed to be almost as dull. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on thesofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eye stopped was "The Art of Eating Spaghetti".我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年,不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。

后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。

弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题目供我们选择。

像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数一样乏味。

我把作文题带回家,一直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。

我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。

我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。

4. This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. Vividmemories came flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table - Uncle Allen, my mother, Uncle Charlie, Doris, Uncle Hal - and Aunt Pat served spaghetti for supper.Spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. All the good humor of Uncle Allen's house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。

贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。

那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。

多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有一个吃起来得心应手的。

艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作一团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。

5. Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and goodfeeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself.I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted,however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I'd learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had writtenthis thing for myself.突然我就想描述那一切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把它写下来仅仅是想自得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。

那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。

我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。

然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则,弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它一个不及格。

没关系。

等我为自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。

6. When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no time left tocompose a proper, respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the Belleville supper. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyone's but mine. I was preparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately after school for discipline when I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class's attention.等我写完时已是半夜时分,再没时间为弗利格尔先生写一篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。

第二天上午,我别无选择,只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。
