5557新标准大学英语视听说教程第三册听力材料文本Unit 1Listening inPassage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What thingshave had a major influence on you? Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. Itmade me much more open-minded. I met so manydifferent types of people there with weirdand wonderful ideas and it changed the wayI see the world. I’m much more tolerantnow… It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather.I was very close to him, and he taught me tostand up for my beliefs. He was alwaystelling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the worldand, well…just the generosity of ordinarypeople. I traveled a lot around Asia and youknow, I found that in some of the poorestcountries, like Cambodia and Laos, peopleshare whatever little they have, and theypossess a real joy for life. It’s probablymade me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discoverthemselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grewup in and I found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence informing your personality?○Sp eaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people alllived in a house together. Each week some onewas voted off by the audience. I got down tothe final three! I suppose being on the showand seeing how the other contestants behavedmade me realize how selfish and spiteful somepeople can be just to get what they want. Ialso realized it’s best to just be yourselfin life. If you pretend to be someonedifferent people will eventually see throughthe lies.Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t winbecause I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on yourlife?Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thaiand I’d just arrived in Thailand for afamily Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew Ihad to help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors.It was an incredibly difficult time but youknow, even in the middle of such a horrifictragedy there is still a huge amount ofgenuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor atManchester University. She gives advice to schoolstudents on choosing the right subject to studyat university. Joan, welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentiallylife-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas.Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to thefuture.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean? Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits（特质） and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, whatsubjects are you good at? Are you an organized andself-disciplined person? Are you confident andoutgoing? Do you like working with others in a teamor do you prefer working alone? These kinds ofquestions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future careerso it’s important to look into this carefully.I recommend you check not only which academicsubjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at whatuniversities offer. Each university has itsstrengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links thedepartment has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line.Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thi nks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of thebrightest graduates are picked from the topuniversities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream （主流）career then you should consider a course thathelps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look atwhich universities have the best levels ofgraduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…UNIT3Listening in conversation 1Lily: So what was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea?Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be going to see Nanta.Lily： What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant?Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture oftraditional Korean music, percussion and drums,into a western style performanceLily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in the West?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over30 countries since the show began in 1997.It'sa non-verbal performance so there are no languagebarriers. That's what's made it an internationalsuccess.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in the kitchen. You see these fourchefs preparing the food for a wedding reception.The performers use knives, dustbin lids andvarious other kitchen utensils to create ahypnotic soundtrack. The food literally flieseverywhere! It's hilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actual story though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also haveto give the manager's nephew cooking lessons too,which adds to the fun. There’s loads of audienceparticipation and despite there being nolanguage involved you get completely engrossed.It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…?Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really greatfamily show. In fact it's one of the best showsI've ever seen. Jim, my friend, says he takes allhis visitors. He's seen it about eight times andstill loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's hada run on Broadway too. It first got popular afterthey appeared at the Edinburgh Festival. Now theyare planning to tour more cities in Asia where(South) Korean popular culture is becomingincredibly trendy.Lily： By the wa y what does“Nanta” mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives youa clearer idea of what it's all about.Lily： You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide. Kathy-can you tell us what trendsyou've noticed in recent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is a huge increase in visitors togalleries-and a growing interest in modernart in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that? Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that somenew contemporary art galleries have openedwhich have had a lot of publicity, andsecondly the younger generation feel morecomfortable with modern art so the kind ofpeople visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of gallerieshave become destinations inthemselves...they tend to be housed inamazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries?Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over30 million visitors since it opened in2000.The annual average is now over 4.5million. The Museum of Modern Art, or MoMAin New York is an older gallery, it was founded in 1929 but has been recently renovated and expanded. This work was finished in 2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitors in the firstyear after reopening. Another verysuccessful new gallery is the Guggenheim inBilbao in Spain. It opened in 1997 and nowgets about a million visitors a year. Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures.Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is freeto visit might have something to do with it? Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of peoplevisiting the temporary exhibition are alsohigh-and the entrance fee is usually aboutten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costseight euros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think? Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering theoutstanding collections of priceless worksof art that they get to see.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attractionthemselves these days...Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao onthe tourist map. It's got a futuristic, curvymetallic structure and people love it. TheTate Modern has helped redevelop an oldindustrial area beside the River Thames. Thegallery itself is actually inside a huge , old, brick power station.And MoMA is interesting as it's in downtown New York. Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation.But in fact, 48 percent of visitors to theTate Modern are under 35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group.It’s widely acknowledged that the performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,s elf-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as”Forming”which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by”Storming”when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is”Norming”where a group identity begins to form.The final stage is”Performing”when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achieves results.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The”Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the”Monitorevaluator”is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The”Team worker”in c ontrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the”Comleter-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by thetsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,t hey built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy. The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need.Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for in monthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a littletest .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brand names?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,isthere,because we know,more or less,don’twe?Coca-Cola—that delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes forstrong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—anattractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what’s in a brandname?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly what both customers’exeprience and researchtells us.it’s the reasons why manufa cturers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namd “Cocafantaslicola”.I t’s just too long!Or,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks. Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s tak e another famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning very small,and the word soft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft. Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positive associations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or thestronges t.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.Alfa Romeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don’t the y?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari”—that makes it sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How aboutCoca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink.So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare T hompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-I met someone who called their baby ”Elsie”-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t wa nt her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Easter n name and means “loved one” in Arabic. Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi”,which means “loved one”Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet.Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they?Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t? Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha! That's what we're going to find out. Apparently, she takes visitors round the mysterious sights of London. Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me? But I don't know anything about London! Andy: Which makes you a perfect person to ask some real questions.Janet: I don't believe it.Joe: And if you're any good, we'll upload your interview next week.Janet: I'm not sure what to say .It's great but are you absolutely sure you think I'm OK for this?Joe: Too late, here she comes. Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believe that the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “ know yourself ” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.Tony: I see …So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it 's important to look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into aparticular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I 'tod tlai ke some calls from our listeners. First up we have James onthe line. Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I 'm interested in career in IT and I 'd like to ask Joan whether she thinks it go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top universities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I 'd say if youhigh-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream career thenyou should consider a course that helps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in theworkplace … and look at which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out …Unit 2Passage1One of the strangest feelings I 've ever had was when I returned by chance to a place where I 'd been happy as a child. My husband and I were visiting some friends for the weekend --------------------------- they livedabout 200 kilometers away.

Two minutes later the plane made a successful landing in the Hudson and passengers were able to climb out through the emergency exits.The plane immediately started taking in water but fortunately water taxis and boats that had seen the crash were waiting by the aircraft. Passengers and crew stood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into the boats.Over the next hour,as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane,including a baby,were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold,Their injuries are not reported to be serious.One of the passengers,Alberto Panero,said people had bugun praying as the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger.Aged 57,he has 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twice to make sure it was empty before climbing out.He has already been described as a hero.The Governer of New York,David patersm,said at a news conference this afternoon, “I believe now we've had a miracle on the Hudson.Thispilot,somehowwithout any engines,was somehaw able to land this plane and perhaps without any injuris to the passengers. ”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not break up when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxis and boats.Passage 2Streets Full of HeroesA:Hi,we are asking people who their personal hero is.

It made me much moreopen-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and itchanged the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for mybeliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…justthe generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lotaround Asia and you know, I found that in some ofthe poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and theypossess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me aless selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and theworld?Speaker 2: Definitely.

Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I supposebeing on the show and seeing how the othercontestants behaved made me realize how selfish andspiteful some people can be just to get what theywant. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself inlife. If you pretend to be someone different peoplewill eventually see through the lies.Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a verygreat impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d justarrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday.When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter fora group of volunteer doctors. It was an incrediblydifficult time but you know, even in the middle ofsuch a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount ofgenuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing!

Lily：What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant? Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture of traditional Korean music,percussion and drums, into a western style performance Lily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in the West?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30 countries since the show began in 1997.It's a non-verbalperformance so there are no language barriers. That'swhat's made it an international success.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in the kitchen. You see these four chefs preparing the food for awedding reception. The performers use knives, dustbin lidsand various other kitchen utensils to create a hypnoticsoundtrack. The food literally flies everywhere! It'shilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actual story though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also have to give the manager'snephew cooking lessons too, which adds to the fun.There’s loads of audience participation and despite therebeing no language involved you get completely engrossed.It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…?Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really great family show. In factit's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Jim, my friend,says he takes all his visitors. He's seen it about eight timesand still loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's had a run onBroadway too. It first got popular after they appeared atthe Edinburgh Festival. Now they are planning to tourmore cities in Asia where (South) Korean popular cultureis becoming incredibly trendy.Lily：By the way what does“Nanta” mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives you a clearer idea ofwhat it's all about.Lily：You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide.Kathy-can you tell us what trends you've noticed inrecent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is a huge increase in visitors to galleries-and a growinginterest in modern art in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that?Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that some newcontemporary art galleries have opened which havehad a lot of publicity, and secondly the youngergeneration feel more comfortable with modern art sothe kind of people visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of galleries have becomedestinations in themselves...they tend to be housed inamazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries? Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over 30 million visitors since it opened in 2000.The annualaverage is now over 4.5 million. The Museum ofModern Art, or MoMA in New York is an oldergallery, it was founded in 1929 but has been recentlyreno vated and expanded. This work was finished in2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitors in the firstyear after reopening. Another very successful newgallery is the Guggenheim in Bilbao in Spain. Itopened in 1997 and now gets about a million visitorsa year.Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures. Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is free to visit might havesomething to do with it?Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of people visiting the temporaryexhibition are also high-and the entrance fee is usuallyabout ten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costs eighteuros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think?Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering the outstandingcollections of priceless works of art that they get tosee.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attraction themselves these days... Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao on the tourist map. It's gota futuristic, curvy metallic structure and people love it.The Tate Modern has helped redevelop an oldindustrial area beside the River Thames. The galleryitself is actually inside a huge , old, brick powerstation. And MoMA is interesting as it's in downtownNew York.Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation. But in fact, 48percent of visitors to the Tate Modern are under35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group.It’s widely acknowledged that the perform ance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,s elf-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as”Forming”which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by”Storming”when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is”Norming”where a group identity begins to form.The final stage is”Performing”when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achieves results.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The”Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the”Monitorevaluator”is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The”Team worker”in cont rast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the”Comleter-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,t hey built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need. Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for inmonthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a little test .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brand names?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,is there,because we know,more or less,don’t we?Coca-Cola—that delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes for strong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—an attractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what’s in a brand name?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly what both customers’exeprience and research tells us.it’s the reasons why manufactu rers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namd “Cocafantaslicola”.It’s just too long!Or,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks.Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s take a nother famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning verysmall,and the word soft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft.Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positive associations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or the stronges t.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.Alfa Romeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don’t they?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari”—that makes it sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxurious car.How about Coca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink. So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-Imet someone who called their baby ”Elsie”-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t want her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Eastern n ame and means “loved one” in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi”,which means “loved one”Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they?Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t?Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha! That's what we're going to find out. Apparently, she takes visitors round the mysterious sights of London. Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me? But I don't know anything about London!Andy: Which makes you a perfect person to ask some real questions.Janet: I don't believe it.Joe: And if you're any good, we'll upload your interview next week. Janet: I'm not sure what to say .It's great but are you absolutely sure you think I'm OK for this?Joe: Too late, here she comes. Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believethat the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

Unit 1Passage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things have had a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there withweird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person.Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character? Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asiaand you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’sprobably made me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing howthe other contestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spiteful some peoplecan be just to get what they want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. Ifyou pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life?Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived in Thailand for afamily Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help-you couldn’tnot. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was anincredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedythere is still a huge amount of g kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at Manchester University. She gives advice to school students on choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself. Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s important to look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top univer sities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re ahigh-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a moremainstream career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look at which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…Unit 2Passage1One of the strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I returned by chance to a place where I’d been happy as a child. My husband and I were visiting some friends for the weekend-----they lived about 200 kilometers away. We were driving along when I suddenly saw a church in the distancethat I recognized. My favorite aunt had lived very near it on a farm that my brother and I used to visit once a year with our parents.We were city kids, brought up in the middle of London, and this was a working farm-----the real thing-----with cows in cowsheds, fields with ponds and a muddy yard full of smelly pigs-----we had the run of the whole place-----it was just paradise for us.And then-----there was the food-----home-made jam and bread and cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And my aunt Lottie-----a farmer’s wife-----and her husband, uncle George and their kids, Katie and Ben, our two cousins who my brother and I really got on with. It was heaven that week we used to spend there. They moved from the farm when I was… how old? ----- about 14. So I’d never been back or seen it again.Anyway, there we were, and I’d just seen the church-----, so we turned off and drove down this really narrow lane. And before I knew it we were in front of Aunt Lottie’s farm. The extraordinary thing was that it hadn’t changed------ not one tiny bit.It was a lovely old place with a typical country cottage garden, full of flowers. There were lots of barns and sheds-----they were next to-----next to the farm. And you know, I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I had standing there. It was-----oh, what was it? an incredibly powerful feeling of longing-----nostalgia for the past-----for times I’d been very very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been there for 20 years and I couldn’t go back, so also I had a feeling of huge sadness, that I couldn’t have those times again. And-----at the same time-----great sweetness, because those times had been so happy, so innocent-----because I was a child. So there was this extraordinary mix-----of longing, sadness and sweetness, all at the same time. It was the strangest feeling I’ve ever had.Passage2ScriptInterviewer: So what's your first memory of school, Kevin?Kevin: I was really looking forward to school, I remember that, I just couldn't wait. Yeah, Johnny, my brother, was a year older than me and he seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart shoes. And I wanted to go to school and be grown-up too. I don't remember much of the first day actually, apart from this little boy lying on the floor and screaming and screaming and me thinking what a baby he was.Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat rack with all our coats. And I was looking for my peg which had a little picture of an elephant next to it. I remember I was crying because I wanted to go home and I couldn't get my coat on. I was crying so much and then the teacher came and helped me.Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best friend at school?Kevin: Oh, yeah, well, Steve, I remember him, because he's still my best friend!Interviewer: Still your best friend!Eva: That's so great!Kevin: Yeah, we didn't know each other before we started school but we became really good friends and so did our mums. Our families ended up going on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the teachers used to get very cross with us. But we were just having fun.Interviewer: Cool! And what about you, Eva?Eva: My best friend was a girl called Robina. She had short blond hair, I remember I thought she looks like an angel. We sat next to each other and held hands and played fairies in the playground. She left in Year 3 and I cried for days.Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the day you left school? How was that?Eva: I had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking home with this amazing feeling of freedom, you know, no more rules, no more bossy teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I'd had some good times. I was in a group of girls who were so supportive of each other.Kevin: I couldn't wait to leave, I was counting the days.I just wanted to get a job, get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went out to celebrate with a couple of my mates and--had a very good time!Unit 6Passage1A US Airways jet landed in the icy Hudson River in New York this afternoon after apparently hitting a flock of geese.Miraculously,no one was killed and there were few injuries.James Moore,our correspondent at the scene,has more.An Airbus 330 took off from La Guardia Airport.New York,at 3:26pm this afternoon,bound for Charlotte Airport in North Carolina.It had 155 people aboard.Thirty to 45 seconds after take-off,a flock of geese apparently flew into the plane,causing it to lose power in both engines and one engine to catch fire.Without power the plane was unable to return to La Guardia Airport and the pilot decided to land in the Hudson River in order to avoid crashing in a populated area. Two minutes later the plane made a successful landing in the Hudson and passengers were able to climb out through the emergency exits.The plane immediately started taking in water but fortunately water taxis and boats that had seen the crash were waiting by the aircraft. Passengers and crew stood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into the boats.Over the next hour,as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane,including a baby,were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold,Their injuries are not reported to be serious.One of the passengers,Alberto Panero,said people had bugun praying as the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger.Aged 57,he has 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twice to make sure it was empty before climbing out.He has already been described as a hero.The Governer of New York,David patersm,said at a news confe rence this afternoon,“I believe now we've had a miracle on the Hudson.This pilot,somehow without any engines,was somehaw able to land this plane and perhaps without any injuris to the passengers.”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not break up when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxis and boats.Passage 2Streets Full of HeroesA:Hi,we are asking people who their personal hero is. Someone they really admire and who’sinspired them in some way.B:Oh,right.Interesting.A:Can you tell us a bit about yourself?B:Sure.My name is Paul Smith. I worked at London zoo.A:London zoo? Really?B:Yes,I’m a zoo keeper. I look after the elephants.A:Elephants?what a great job! So who is your hero, Paul?B:I’ve got quite a few heroes. But I guess my biggest hero is Al Gore.A:The American politician. So why him?B:Well,he is the guy who made people take climate change seriously.A:You are referring to the film An Inconvenient Truth, I take it?B:That’s right. That film proved to people with statistics and graphs, that kind of thing---that climate change was happening and that it’s man-made. Before that ,most people believed it was just a few crazy scientists who thought it was happening.A:You work with animals. Do you worry about the effect of the climate on animals?B：Sure，I do. All these species are going to become extinct. It’s terrible.A：It is. Would you say Al Gore’s been an inspiration to you?B:Yes,I would. He’s taught me about importance of taking action when you see something that needs to be done. I do volunteer work for Greenpeace---quite a lot actually. That’s the way I do my bit.A:Greenpeace?Excellent.Thanks,Paul.Hi,what’s your name?C:Clare hope.A:What do you do?C:Well,I’m a mum with two young kids and I work part-time as an accountant for the Red Cross.A:We’re asking people who their personal hero is and if they’ve inspired them in any way.C:That’s an easy one. Melinda Gates, she’s my hero.A:Why is that?C:Well,she is Bill Gates’wife, one of the richest people in the world. You know ,she could so easily do nothing, just enjoy her money. And instead she co-founded the um… Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and I think that it’s called---and it is one of the biggest private charity organization in the world. It’s donated more than 280 million dollars to various good causes.A:More than 280 million dollars? Now that’s a lot of money. She is very active in it, isn't she? C:Oh yeah, she is a director. Flies all over the world.A:Do you do any work for charity?C:I make phone calls for Save the Children, asking people to donate. She is a real inspiration, Melinda gates。

Passengers and crew stood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into the boats.Over the next hour,as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane,including a baby,were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold,Their injuries are not reported to be serious.One of the passengers,Alberto Panero,said people had bugun praying as the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger.Aged 57,he has 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twice to make sure it was empty before climbing out.He has already been described as a hero.The Governer of New York,David patersm,said at a news confe rence this afternoon,“I believe now we've had a miracle on the Hudson.This pilot,somehow without any engines,was somehaw able to land this plane and perhaps without any injuris to the passengers.”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not break up when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxis and boats.Passage 2Streets Full of HeroesA:Hi,we are asking people who their personal hero is.

But my advisor told me that I need one moreh umanities course to graduate. I’ve noticed that you are teaching a course on landscapepainters next semester.

Don’t young people lose respect for their parents because of that?M: I don’t th ink so. My parents still give me a lot of advice, bur after I turned 18 they never tried to force me to do things I didn’t want to do.

I know a lot of my frie nds feel their parents don’t understand them, but I’m lucky—I get along really well with mine. What about you?W: I love my parents, but we don’t always get along very well with each other. They try to control me too much.M: How come?W: Well, family v alue is very important in China. It’s traditionally the parents’ duty to look after their children, no matter how old they are. Y our parents treat you as an adult; mine treat meM: But they let you come to America to study on your own.W: Yes, but I had to spend about 3 years persuading them!M: Oh, really?

Okay, write down these directions so you don’t get lost.M: Okay, go ahead.W: First, drive down 1st Street going west, cross the river, and keep going straight until Pine Street.Then turn left, and the movie theatre is the second building on the right. It’s next to the church. M: Got it. Now, can you recommend any nice restaurants?W: Yeah. The Tacos serves excellent Mexican food.M: Well, where’s that?W: Well, starting from the movie theatre, go south on Pine Street, cross 2nd Street, and drive to 3rd Street. Y ou’ll see a parking lot on the left side of the street.M: Okay, then what?W: Then turn left on 3rd Street and drive east. The Tacos is the building just before the river on the left side. I think it’s open weekdays from 10:30 in the morning to 11:30 at night, but it stays open until midnight on the weekends.M: Okay, I think I’ve driven by there before. Great, thanks a lot.26. When is the man going out with Jane?27. Where is the movie theatre located?28. What time does the restaurant close on Sundays?Conversation 9M: Hello.W: Hello, welcome to “Active”radio program. What’s your name?M: Jim.W: W hat’s your problem?M: Er...well I’m er...beginning to lose hair. Er, I went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I could do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.W: And how old are you?M: Me? I’m twenty-eight.W: And are losing a lot of hair then?M: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of myW: Does that really worry you, Jim?M: Well, I don’t like it. It’s old, you know, looks old. I don’t want to look like a middle-aged man at twenty-eight. And I wonder if there is some special shampoo I should use, and if you could tell me one that I should buy, something like that, you know, to stop it getting worse.W: Well, you know, Jim, to be h onest with you there’s not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I’m afraid. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to accept. Some men find it more difficult to accept baldness than others. There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that’s don’t try to comb your hair over the bald or thin patch.Whatever you do, don’t comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig, that is, the false hairpiece. Don’t let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband is bald and I think it really suits him.29. What’s probably the reason for the man’s baldness?30. What does the woman suggest to the man?31. Where do you think this conversation takes place?32. What does the woman think of her husband’s baldness?Conversation 10M: Sara, I’ve heard that you want to move into a homestay family. Is that correct?W: Y es, that’s right. I’ve been staying with my aunt. Now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt needs the room for him.M: Oh, that’s bad luck. Well, I’ll need to get some particulars first. Sara, what’s your full name? W: Sara Lim, and that’s Sara without the “h”at the end.M: Mmm. How old are you?W: 23, only just. It was my birthday on the 21st of August.M: Happy Birthday for yesterday. How long have you been in Australia?W: A year in Adelaide and s ix months in Sydney. I prefer Sydney, and I’ve got more friends here. M: What’s your address at your aunt’s house?W: Flat one, 539 Forest Road, Canterbury. And the post code is 2036.M: OK. What are you studying now?W: I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next year.M: That sounds good, but it’ll take you a long time. When would you like to move out from your aunt’s?W: My cousin arrives on Friday morning, so I’d better be out on Thursday.M: Is that the seventh of September?W: Yes, that’s right.33. Why does the woman want to move into a homestay family?34. How long has the woman been in Australia?35. What does the woman want to study?。

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet:So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.Mark:I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved.Janet:Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark:Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet:Sponsored punting! What's that?Kate:Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something —like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you!Mark:That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here.Kate:That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far?Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ... We have to decide where the punt will start from.Mark: Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently.Kate: I'm with you on that.Janet: Me tooJanet: I'm not used to boats — Woah!Mark: Whoops!Kate: Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing! Mark: Sorry! I didn't mean to. ... OK, we're off!Kate: Maybe I should do the punting.Mark:It's fine.I've got the hang of it now —give me a chance. Kate: Well, I'd like to have a go.Mark: Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to.Kate: Yes, great.Janet: You're really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It's exactly how I imagined life here! Look over there —isn't it lovely!Kate: Yes, it is.Unit 1-Conversation 2Janet: Kate, everything's organized, isn't it, for collecting the sponsorship money?Kate: Yes, I've arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday — if they haven't paid online. I'll count it all up. Janet: Good. We'd better have a meeting soon after that, don't you think? How much have we raised?Kate: About 600.Janet: Fantastic! I'm so enjoying this! Mark: Hey guys, I've got a suggestion —how about moving over to the bank and we can have our picnic! Hey, look, there's Louise and Sophie!Mark: Whoo ...Girls: Mark!Janet: Are you all right?Mark: Er .Of course I'm all right. Kate, I think it's your turn to punt!Unit 1-Outside ViewVoice-over Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university's Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.Alex Harvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of Government, or the John F Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.Voice-over We asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.Ashley Um, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and ... Um, there's a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that's what I do.Adam It's, it's whatever you want it to be. It's good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.Brian Socially, like you said, it's, it's a lot of what you make it. Um, we don't have fraternities here, and so, you know, that's, it's obviously not as social. There's not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o'clock. And then we, and then we'll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night.Jodie Not everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it's, I think it's a fun place to be.Interviewer Have you made a lot of friends?Jodie Oh, definitely.Interviewer Mm.Jodie Many.Interviewer What, what do you do with your friends?Jodie Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I'm in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, onthe weekend.Voice-over We asked the Harvard students if they use the Internet.Ashley Um, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, ourlibrary system is online, so I use that a lot. And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so.Interviewer So how often do you use it, a week, a day? Ashley Um, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week.Brian Oh yes, definitely. We live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet, follow my stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even thoughe-mail is not officially Internet, we, that's how we communicate a lot at college, so, through the e-mail.John Um, I use the internet mostly for, er, I'd say, sort of leisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don't, we don't have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there's some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to see what's happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don't usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so.Unit 1-Listening inNews reportStanford University has recently changed its financial aid policy for students to make the university more affordable and accessible. Students who don’t have financial aid pay about $46,000 a year just for tuition. It’s not unusual for students to be forced to decline an o ffer because they can’t afford to go to their dream school. The new policy means that for students whose families earn less than $125,000, tuition is fully covered by scholarship and grant aid. Those with a family income below $65,000 are not expected to pay for either tuition, or room and board. This is great news for talented students who are concerned about fees.However, Stanford is not the only top university in the United States that makes tuition affordable for students. Ivy League schools, such as Harvard, Princeton and Yale, also offer free tuition plans to students from low-income and middle-class families.Stanford and Ivy League schools can offer generous financial aid packages because they are very wealthy. They receive large annual donations that can be used for specific purposes, such as financial aid.1 What has Stanford University done recently?2 How much is the tuition a year at Stanford if students don’t receive financial aid?3 Why is Stanford University so wealthy?Passage 1Voice-over Hi, I'm Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers -now half-way through their first year -the question, "How are you finding uni?" Here are some of the answers we got.Speaker 1It's cool. It's everything I hoped it would be. I'm very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I've started writing for the university newspaper so I've got my foot on the ladder already. Speaker 2I'm working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I've made some good friends. But I'm very homesick. I'm Nigerian and my family's so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month -that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3"How am I finding uni?" It's great. It's not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I've got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I've made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn't do, really enough work. But I -1 talked about it with my parents and I'm working harder now and getting good grades.Speaker 4Actually, I've been quite lonely to be honest. I'm a bit shy ... everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently - yeah, they have. I've joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah - I'm feeling a lot happier now.Speaker 5 Uni's great, I love it. My only problem -and it's quite a big problem - is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can't help me financially. My grant just isn't - it's just not enough for me to live on, so I've taken a part-time job as a waitress — a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don't want to have huge debts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject. History, and I'm, I'm getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage 2Oxford and Cambridge - two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as "Oxbridge". They're both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world's best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modem universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it's not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries andinventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the world's most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge's comedy club Footlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK's most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there's the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, it's not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.。

我目前还是一位英国牛津大学的学生，但我现在不在牛津，也还没有回中国的家。
现在在放长假，而且不管你信不信，现在是夏天的中期。
我现在正在世界上最棒的城市之一里度过我的夏天。
我在伦敦，它是英国国会大厦、大本钟、塔桥…和双层巴士的故乡。
我想知道住在如此热闹和生气勃勃的城市里是什么感觉。
所以，我现在在为伦敦下班网效劳。
它是一个报道伦敦时事的网站。
这是乔，他是我的老板，而他是安迪，一位记者。
我的工作是什么呢？这个我也不知道，因为今天是我的第一天，但我会注定跟随着安迪。
喔，我的意思是，我将会协助他。
那么安迪，你能告诉我一些关于伦敦的事情吗？安迪：伦敦是世界上最棒的城市。
乔：除了纽约以外！安迪：纽约？别逗我笑了！乔：那你的观点是…?安迪：注意，如果你真的需要我的观点，伦敦确实比纽约棒…乔：不，我不需要你的观点，非常感谢！这是事实！安迪：事实！你是当真的吗？珍妮特：我们现在在伦敦，或许是世界上最棒的城市。
安迪：什么？或许？对不起，我宁可自己处理这个…乔：啊，安迪，继续做你的美梦吧...Conversation2Janet：SowhendidRoustartworkingatLondonTimeOff?AndR:AboutaRearago.Janet:AndIhopeRou don’t mindmRasking,butdoRoulikeworkinghere?

珍妮特：我希望你不要介意我的发问，你喜欢在这里工作吗？安迪：是，我非常喜欢。
我的意思是，乔跟我相处得挺好的。
虽然有时我快被他搞疯了，因为他是我的老板，而且我又希望能多赚点钱，但…我认为我的工作是十分有趣的，因为我能够看到伦敦正在发生的事情。
再说，我不愿意自己处在商业中无意义的竞争里。
珍妮特：你说的商业中无意义的竞争是什么意思？安迪：你知道，日复一日地做着同样的事情并且不做任何有创意的事或拥有任何可以享受生活的时间。
这是我最不想做的事情。
珍妮特：那你介意告诉我你具体都做些什么吗？安迪：基本上，除了新的俱乐部、最新的戏剧和电影，还有美术馆和博物馆里的展览，你知道，我们会关注伦敦乐坛的新动向。
然后，我们去采访音乐家或演员或任何与此事件有关的人并将此采访的内容录下来。
珍妮特：好的，那接下来呢？安迪：我们编辑这些采访然后将它们全部都上传到网站上。
我们一周就取得了二十万个网路点击数。
我们是伦敦最大的数据站点。
珍妮特：我能问你其他事情吗？安迪：尽管问吧。
珍妮特：我们现在要做什么？安迪：我需要回到我的公寓去拿我的研究调查。
然后，我们得去做个采访。
让我们乘地铁到我家去吧。
珍妮特：那乔怎么办？安迪：他现在应该在去国家剧院的路上。
他要去给一位新戏剧的导演做个采访。
但我有点儿希望他在途中迷路。
然后，他将会发现伦敦是多么棒的一个地方。
珍妮特：我不明白。
安迪：我是在开玩笑！快点，我们走吧！OutsideviewHappinessisnotwhatmoststudentshaveinmindwhentheRthinkofsch ool.RetaschoolinGermanRhasdevelopedanovelwaRtoraisethemoraleofitss tudents,bRteachinghappinessinclasses.StudentsatHeidelberg’sWillRHellp achSchoolofEconomicsarelearninghowtoachievehappinessasanofficialsub ject,alongsidemathematicsandlanguages.ThisisthefirstschoolinGermanRto developahappinesscourse,intendedfor17-to19-Rear-oldspreparingforunive rsitRentranceeRams.ErnstFritz-Schubert,theschool’sprincipal,isonamissiontochangethings.ErnstFritz-Schubert:ItwasmRidea-I’vebeenatthisschoolfor31Rears ,andIfeelthatschoolandhappinesshavetobereunited.Thesearetwotermswhic harenotconsideredtogether,becauseonedoesnotconnectschoolwithhappines s.InsomecasesschoolcomesbehindthedentistsonthepopularitRscaleandwes houldtrRtopushschools’popularitRabit.IthasbeenprovedbRsciencethatahappRstudentcanlearnmorethananunhappRone,UnhappRstudentscanconcentrateforawhilebutdonotuseallthei rpotential.Thehappinessclassesareintendedtohelpstudentsfulfilltheirpotent ial.TheRwillhelpthestudentslivehappRandprosperouslives.Theclassesaimtohelpstudentsinachievingapositivestateofmind,bRu singalltheirownresourcesandboostingtheirself-esteem.Inaddition,theRhop eclasseswillincreaseself-awarenessandphRsicalcomfort.Happinessclasses arealsointendedtomakestudentsmoreawareabouttheirenvironmentandsocie tRasawhole.DuringclassesstudentsareencouragedtoeRpressthemselvesand observetheirpeers’behavior.TheclassesaretaughtbRBjoernBonn,anactoran dvisitinglecturer.BjoernBonn:OneoftheeRercisesIdoistohaveoneofthestudentswalka crosstheclassroom,withtheotherscopRinghiswalk.ThroughthiseRercise,Ih opetheRlearnsomethingaboutthemselves.WhRdoImovelikethis?Howdoot hersseemRwaRofwalking?IhopethatwithahigherbodRawarenesstheRideall R–ofcourseitwilltaketime-achieveahigherself-consciousnesswhichcouldle adtohappiness.WolfgangLang:Wegivetheseclassestostudentstohelpthemfindhappi ness.Nowthequestionis:HowdoIdefinehappiness?HappinessisforeRamplea strengtheningofthepersonalitR.Weareprovidinghelpfulsuggestionstomakes trongerpeople.Peoplethatask“WhoamIasaperson?AmIreallRhappR?”PascalGemble:IttakestimeandeverRbodRhastofindhappinessforthe mselves.RoucannotgointoacoachinglessonandsaRteachmehappiness.Onec anonlRgetindicationsfromteachersorthevisitinglecturers.Therearealsohapp inessscientists,ifwecouldtalktooneofthose,Iamsurehewouldhavesomehints .RosmaPinarCetinkaRa:Rouwouldthinkthattheteachersarewritingde finitionsontheboard.Nottrue.Thosewhowanthappinesshavetofinditforthem selves,RoucannotreallRlearnthat.SowhatdoesittaketobehappRandcanRoulearnitatschool?当学生想起学校，快乐不是多数人想到的。
