Unit 5 DreamsPart One Viewing, Understanding and SpeakingVideo ScriptTopic: Interpreting DreamsSetting: At the river bankCharacters: John (young man), Mary (young woman)[John and Mary, a newly married couple, are on their honeymoon. While they are sitting at the river bank, John is reading Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams and Mary is having a nap.]Mary: (awakes from a sweet dream) Ah…Darling, everything is so wonderful! The sun, the air, the water… I feel as if I were in a dream.John: (still reading the book with not much response) A dream? Yes, a dream.Mary: Have a look at the beautiful scenery around you, Darling. Don’t you think it’s too good to be true?John: Mm, maybe.Mary: Eh, you aren’t listening to me. What are you reading now?John: (finishes the last page of the book and closes the book) It’s Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams. Honey, have you ever wondered what…what the meaning of your dreams? You might get some satisfactory explanations for your dreams from this book, because Freud explains various kinds of dreams in it.Mary: It must be a very interesting book! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ignored me. It seems to me that I am not as attractive as Freud.John: Yes, it really is.Mary: Yes?! You mean I am not charming enough? I can hardly stand your rudeness.John: Of course not. I mean it’s really an interesting book. Freud says that everything in our dreams has something to do with our real life.Mary: Really? I often dream about gathering fruit in an orchard. What does fruit represent in my dreams?John: It predicts good fortune. You’ll be rich, Honey.Mary: But the fact is we still can’t afford to buy a house.John: I have to admit that’s absolutely true. I spent about all I had on our honeymoon.Mary: Well, there must be something wrong with your interpretation, Darling. I doubt whether dreams can predict the future.John: Before I can be more exact, you have to give me more details.Mary: What further information do you need?John: Well, Honey, could you tell me what the color of the fruit is in your dreams?Mary: Er… the fruit doesn’t seem to be ripe. In my dreams, I think it’s green.John: Mm…I’ve got it. If the color of the fruit is green, you can’t be rich immediately, because only ripe fruit is interpreted as good fortune at hand.Mary: Oh? Are you sure about that?John: Definitely. I’ve just looked it up in Freud’s book.Mary: Then we’ll just have to wait and see?John: That’s right, Honey. Do you have any other happy dreams?Mary: Yes. I had another one just now. It was so sweet that I smiled from ear to ear. Would you like to have another try, Mr. Freud?John: I t’s my pleasure, madam. What happened in this dream? I guarantee you I can give you another good explanation.Mary: When I was dozing, I dreamed that you gave me a beautiful diamond necklace as a memento of our wonderful honeymoon. What do you think that means?John: (understands her wife’s actual intention and tries to find a way out) Er…Er…I’m not sure.Er…maybe I’m… I’m not knowledgeable enough! But anyway I can turn to the book for help. Wait a minute!Mary: Take it easy, Darling! I’m sure you know how you can make it come true.John: Too bad!Mary: What’s wrong?John: (smiles cunningly at his wife) I’m afraid Freud didn’t tell me how to interpret a daydream, only dreams at night.Mary: Daydream?!John: Yes, it must be a daydream since you had it during the day.Exercise 1Directions: You’re going to watch a video in which a couple talk about dreams.

They’re quite different. In passive sleep, the body is at rest. The heart slows down. The body processes become very slow. We move very little, and the brain becomes very inactive. If a person continues to sleep, she or he enters a new stage, a more active stage. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, the amount of blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very, very still, and the brain goes from being very inactive to being active. And as the brain becomes more active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. Eye movement is a sign of another change—that of a person dreaming.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and a half hours on the average.Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams—in fact, everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kinds of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds.

Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animal life, like worms and snails, ever really sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep a human being needs depends on age, the individual and possibly race. For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are exceptional cases of old people who sleep only between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known for certain if mental activity (apart from dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a specific, pre-determined time. There are also stories about mathematicians who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.Some types of unpleasant dreams (or “nightmares”) are quite common; the dreamer is taking a test, but is not properly prepared; he is falling from a tree; or an animal or thing is chasing him.Some people say these last two occur because man’s ancestors lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.

He is most famous for his strange, frightening stories about death and evil powers such as The Fall of the House of Usher. Another story, The Murders in the Rue Morgue (莫格街凶杀案), is one of the first detective stories. His most famous poem is The Raven (乌鸦).TapescriptA Dream within a Dreamby Edgar Allan PoeTake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow --You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand --How few! yet how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep -- while I weep!O God! can I not graspThem with a tighter clasp?O God! can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream.Exercise(Online)Directions:Listen to the poem “A Dream within a Dream” twice and fill in each blank with the word you hear.Key to the exercise:1) parting 2) wrong 3) dream 4) night 5) none 6) seem 7) shore 8) sand9) fingers 10) grasp 11) save 12) wavePractice Three DaydreamsWords You Need to Know:fantasize 幻想abnormal 不正常的inherit 遗传divert 转移alert 警觉的TapescriptAlmost all people daydream during a normal day. We tend to daydream the most during those quiet times when we are alone in our cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. Daydreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic human characteristic. Most people have reported that they enjoy their daydreams. Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women, but the subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different. Men daydream more about being heroes and good athletes while women tend to daydream about fashions and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still common in old age. Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past. Daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists believe that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play. It is a normal part of their development. It helps children develop and explore their imagination.Daydreaming has advantages and disadvantages. In some situations it can reduce a person’s fear or anxiety. It can also keep us entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, we must divert part of our attention from our environment. When it is important for us to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around us, daydreaming can cause problems. (246 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage about daydreams, then decide which of the following questions are answered in the passage. Write “Yes” beside those answered, and “No” besidethose unanswered.Key to Exercise 1:“Yes” for 2), 3)& 6), “No” for 1), 4) & 5)Exercise 2 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage again, and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.Key to Exercise 2: 1) A 2) C 3) B 4) C 5) A 6) CPractice Four What Do People Dream about?Words You Need to Know:distorted 扭曲的conflict 冲突conditioning 影响monster 妖怪hostile 敌对的aggression 进攻depressed 沮丧的victim 受害人rejection拒绝Naomi Epel (人名)subconscious 潜意识TapescriptNew research shows that dreams are often distorted reflections of our daily life. Many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize our inner conflicts.According to some experts, men and women dream differently because of biological and social conditioning. In a study of 1000 dreams, half from each sex, experts found that men more often have action dreams. Usually these dreams are set outdoors or in unfamiliar surroundings. Women dream more of emotional struggles with loved ones, usually in indoor settings. As more women have care ers, their dreams might become more like men’s. Researchers have found that while housewives dream more about children, women in the workplace dream about bosses and colleagues. Small children who are easily scared dream of frightening animals and monsters that chase and attack them. Teenagers dream of romance and sex.Some dream researchers found in a study that people between 21 and 34 have more anxiety over issues of right and wrong in their dreams, possibly because they are making important decisions about career, marriage and life direction. People of ages 35 to 49 are much less hostile toward others in their dreams, perhaps because they’re reaching their greatest achievement, and have less need for aggression while awake. After age 65, anxiety about aging appears much more often in people’s dreams.If life stages affect our dreams, so do our attitudes. Studies show that angry people act out their anger in their dreams, and depressed people sometimes dream they are victims of rejection.Creative people often use their dreams to solve problems. According to author Naomi Epel, when some writers, artists or scientists go to sleep, they ask their subconscious for a dream that will help them solve problems. (299 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage on what people dream about and match each kind of person with the dream they are more likely to have.

His name was Max Hoffman.“Will our son die?” Max’s parents asked the doctor.“Maybe,” the doctor said quietly. “Stay with Max. Keep him warm. That’s all you can do.”For three days Max lay in his bed. Then he died. He was only five years old.Max’s parents buried their son in the town cemetery. That night Max’s mother had a terrible dream. She dreamed that Max was moving in his coffin. She screamed in her sleep.“Sh, sh,” her husband said. “It’s all right. You had a bad dream.”The next night Max’s mother screamed in her sleep again. She had the same terrible dream.On the third night Max’s mother had another bad dream. She dreamed that Max was crying. She got out of bed and got dressed. “Quick! Get dressed,” she told her husband. “We’re going to the cemetery. I want to see Max. I want to dig up his coffin.”At four o’clock in the morning Max’s parents and a neighbor hurried to the cemetery. They dug up Max’s coffin and opened it. There was Max. He looked dead. But he wasn’t lying on his back. He was lying on his side.Max’s father carried Max home. Then he ran to get the doctor. For an hour the doctor rubbed whiskey on Max’s lip and warmed his body. Then Max opened his eyes. Max was alive! A week later he was playing with his friends.Max Hoffman died—really died—in the United States in 1953.

She was yelling, “Don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me!”Father: What was wrong with her then?Mother:I don’t know. I couldn’t get a word out of her when she woke up this morning.

I read with great interest your interpretation on dreams of teeth falling out. It is the same interpretation that many others use as well (needing to be heard etc). I myself had this dream repeatedly and was dying to know what it meant, as it was always confusing and disturbing. However, I was always unsatisfied with the “needing to be heard” thing.You might note that many people who have this dream are feeling worried, depressed or frightened as their teeth are falling out painlessly. Sometimes they even try to keep the teeth from falling out. Finally I came up with a different interpretation, which fitted much better for me. In fact, I’ve had fewer dreams of this sort now. So I thought you might be interested. For me, the dream means I am talking TOO MUCH. It means thoughtlessness, telling secrets, gossiping unwisely. And it’s my subconscious warning me. Now, if I have this dream, I know I have been unwise with my big mouth! Trying to cram the teeth back in, or stop them falling out, or trying to find a dentist, actually means trying to stop the words or gossip from coming out, and the feelings of depression are reflecting the regret of being too revealing—usually to an enemy. I am much more aware of this now and not such a big mouth! Maybe you could add this to your interpretations.BestKatie(243 words) Part ADirections: In this section, you’ll hear a letter to a newspaper column that provides interpretations of typical dreams regularly.

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years.

My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa.

Next month I’ll move to New Y ork to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast.

It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way!

She made a point of telling her fellow crew members about this.Because it was April 1st, April Fool's Day, the day people play tricks on one another,the captain decided to have a little fun.About an hour before landing, he made an announcement that went like this: "Ladiesand Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. I have a little bit of bad news. There'resome thunderstorms at our destination, and they've currently closed the airport. Theyexpect it to reopen in about 30 minutes to an hour. As one might expect, this willresult in long delays. As we've come all the way from the West Coast, we don't evenhave enough fuel to circle until the airport reopens. Therefore, we are going to bediverting to Cleveland, and we should be landing in about 30 minutes. We'll takesome fuel there and get you back on your way to our original destination. I’m terriblysorry for the delay. However, we’11 get you there just as soon as possible."It was at this moment that you could hear someone running up to the cockpit. Thecockpit door flew open, and sure enough it was the lead flight attendant mumblingsomething like, "This can’t be happening. What shall I do?" As she went on painfully,the captain made another announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, happy April Fool'sDay!”Key1.T2.F3.T4.F5.TTask3 what to do for mom?ScriptYoung men and women, tomorrow will be Mother's Day. Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a hair clip with a touch of difference. Checked out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and give it to her if you can afford it.You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a cat’s picture on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Make her feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible, take one with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside could show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.Key(1)buy(2)office wear(3)likes(4)cats(5)pet(6)time(7)special dish(8)little party(9)little trip(10)countrysideIV.

And we have another activity. We also "give not expecting to get".Susan: That's a peculiar expression. What do you mean by that?Nora: It's secret giving. We sneak up to the door of somebody we want to give a gift to, ring the doorbell, and run.Susan: So, you're not expecting anything; you're just being generous. That's a kind-hearted gesture.Nora: (6) Isn't that what the true spirit of Christmas is supposed to be?MODEL2 The Pilgrims' spirit of Thanksgiving lives on.ScriptChris: Will Nora be spending Thanksgiving with us this year?Susan: No, she's going home to (1) spend the holiday with her mother and brother.She hasn't seen her family in over a year.Chris: I know how she feels.

It was a time to relax and "count your blessings".Chris: You know, most cultures seem to have some sort of celebration like this--don't the Chinese have a festival of moon cakes to celebrate the harvest month? Susan: Yeah, they do. I believe the round moon cakes also (4) symbolize a family reunion.Chris: Well, today Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holiday. Susan: True, it's a very emotional time. Families often travel great distances (5) to be together and share a huge dinner. Jamie's mother will have a turkey and a ham, corn on the cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to top it all off, pumpkin pie. Chris: (6) Just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water, and I think I'm going to gain 10 pounds this year.Susan: But you have the rest of the year to lose those unwanted pounds. And losing weight will give you something to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten youon HalloweenScriptSusan: Hey Kim! (1) Are you OK? You seem badly shaken.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Wilsons’ ThanksgivingScriptThanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion. On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when the members of a family gather.But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family. Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take long distances to visit their parents. They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members. But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their "extended family". This included people in their community.

The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies.Question and key1. What is true of a typical Thanksgiving Day?A) It is a day for family reunion.2. Who are included in the "extended family"?D) People in the neighborhood.3. How many generations of people does the Wilson’s party include?C) Three.4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as traditional Thanksgiving food?B) Roast duck.5. What is the passage mainly about?C) A couple who spend Thanksgiving with people other than their family members.Task2 Father’s DayScript and keyFather’s Day is fairly new (S1) celebration Britain compared with Mother’s Day, which has been a (S2) popular festival in the U.K. for a very long time.The origins of celebration are (S3) American, and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. His wife (S4) died giving birth to their sixth child, so he raised six children alone without (S5) remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.His (S6) daughter, Sonora Dodd, realized when he was an adult what her father sacrificed for his children. It was in the early (S7) 1900s and she was actually in the church one day, listening to a sermon on Monday’ Day. She thought there should be a Father’s Day celebration. So (S8) the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora’s father’s death.Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. What do British people do for Father’s Day? Well, most people buy their fathers a card. (S9) The card probably has a nice message on it saying what a great dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for dads are probably ties, chocolates, or socks because these are things that dads can always use even if they don’t want them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, (S10) British people might give their dad a bit of a rest-make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn.Task3 St.Valentine’s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed, "Love from your Valentine."I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.Key1.He thought he was that if men were not married, they would not mind joining thearmy. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages.2.He kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly.3.They came to the jail to visit him. They throw flowers and notes up to his window.4.She was one of those young people and the daughter of the prison guard.5.Before he was killed, Valentine left the girl a little note thanking her for herfriendship and loyalty. He signed, “Love from your Valentine.” That note started the custom.Viewing and speakingA Famous Christmas Market1. Script and keyReceiving Christmas presents is always (1) fun, but buying them can be a (2) headache. This is why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city of Nuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt.The 400-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its (3)150 stalls sell all kinds of toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering (4) two million people visit the market annually.The old city and market add a special (5) feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist, Mivart Thomas, explains, “There's something quite, sort of, medieval about the (6) atmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls—(7) traditional-looking stalls--and the cathedral in the background with (8) lights all around, and just a few minutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. The whole atmosphere is wonderful."The market maintains its Old World atmosphere with (9) regulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is on the (10) family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that the market's name (11) translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is to offer presents for (12) children on Christmas.Christmas markets are found in many German cities, but Nuremberg's is the (13) most famous. It gives a very (14) different impression from the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of the market (15) spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.。

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?”The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference1.countless clients that had gone in and out of the office2.He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringingpeople in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?1.What is the speaker mainly talking about?2.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from yourhome?3.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?4.What will the recruiting money tell you?5.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3.

Let’s TalkScriptMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities.We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55.According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old. Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seemmore active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should considerexpanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more details of this proposal.DiscussionSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can have a clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and women of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the results won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than older people, and they tend to buy more.A:It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their money. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out.B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.1.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?2.Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?3.Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,”he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1.“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’texist can’t have the job!”2.He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, hesucceeded in doubling his capital.

Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

Unit5Inside viewConversation1Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis.Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert!Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）?Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting compliments?Janet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.Andy:Don’t you believe it!Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.Andy: Not only that, but I think you’d make a really TV presenter.Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here.Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信）you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.Andy: Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cook great food!Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managers?Andy: OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle management jobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.Janet:What’s the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的）barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.Conversation 2Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.Janet: It not fair.Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.Janet: That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.Andy:And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women.Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.Andy: You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially?Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And there are plenty of women’s football teams!Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!Janet: I give up. What else has changed?Andy: I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home.Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.Andy: Anyway, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course. Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!Andy: And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.Outside ViewIn South Korea, women are participating more in the economic and political sectors than they were a decade ago. But career aspirations for female students in South Korea still tend to be based on the traditional division of gender roles. They are accustomed to thinking of such jobs as teaching and nursing, what their male counterparts aim to become scientists and judges. Many of these young women are aware that if they want to be independent they need to train so they can have their own source of income. In the previous generation, women did not have the right to speak, because they did not have their own financial support. Therefore, our generation of women must work to be financially independent. The growth in the number of women who work has caused the typical South Korean household to change. For example, there are more women living alone. This is because they can make their own money rather than depend on a man to support them. There has also been a rapid rise in the number of families in which both parents work. Married women increasingly want to participate in society but they need to balance family life and work. After marriage, we all struggle with how to take care of our children and work. The introduction of day care centers at some work places, such as the Chohung bank, has helped to make it possible for mothers to work. Whilst these women are at work, their children are in the day care center. There they are usually very well looked after, receiving a balanced diet, playing lots of games and doing plenty of exercise. Day care centers are increasingly popular all across the world because they enable parents to work. Women employees at Chohung Bank find it a big help, although the system is far from perfect. So far, my children have been well taken care of by our day care center. However, it will be difficult when my children go to elementary school because I often have to work late. Who will take care of them? Our family recently decided to livetogether with our grandparents who might be able to take care of my children. Mothers also face other problems when they go to work. Women have traditionally been responsible for raising their children and often feel a strong sense of guilt when they put their children into day care. Some worry that it will have a negative impact on their children and that they may fail as a parent. On top of this, South Korean women often end up being less well paid than men with the same education. Korean women’s status in the labor market has not been much improved in spite of a continuing rise in their presence in the labor force and the level of their education. The majority of working women are still crowded in low wage and low status jobs many of which are found in the secondary market. So there are still lots of issues facing women going to work--- they are still having to choose between their families and their careers. What can be done to ensure that women are rewarded for their valuable contribution to the working world?Sector 部门，行业，领域Aspiration 志向，抱负Whilst 在……时，虽然Counterpart 植物相当的人，职能相当的物Guilt 负罪感，内疚，自责Presence 存在，在场，出席Listening inPresenter: Has feminism(女权主义，男女平等主义）gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements? Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as stupid or weak?Speaker 1: Definitely, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that annoys me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it w as one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole attitude now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.Speaker 2: Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of progress in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的）, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are portrayed in advertisements.Speaker 3:Has feminism gone too far in advertisements? No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real equality of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as objects in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really don’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as super-masculine, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.Speaker4：Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weak makes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they are more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole, I’d disagree; I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know-looking powerful. Then coming home to their wives who look after children.Speaker5: Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying. There’s that one where this woman is angry with her partner for his choice of car insurance. The idea is that she’s smart andhe’s dumb（笨的，愚蠢）.Speaker6:I’ve never really thought about it, I think it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t, to show the guy as a bit of an idiot and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke. I don’t really know much about feminism. I don’t think so, no.Passage 2:The differences between men and women interest everyone. What are these differences exactly? How great are they? To what extent are they due to biology and how much the result of upbringing?A lot of research has been done on the subject. Tests show, for example, that men tend to be more logical and analytical than women. Their spatial skills are better and they‘re better at problem-solving and mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, learn to speak earlier than boys and in general women have better verbal skills than men .They are more nurturing ,have more empathy and have better social skills.Research suggests that at least some of these differences are a result of our biochemistry and brain function. Brain scans show that men have bigger brains than women. Before men get too excited about this we should point out that both sexes do equally well in intelligence tests. So the fact that men have bigger brains does not mean they‘re more intelligent. But there are other important brain differences. Men have more grey matter in their brains and women have more white matter. Because of the different ways in which white matter and grey matter function, this could explain why men are better at spatial tasks and mathematics, and women are better at language skills.Now let’s take a look at the effect of hormones on the brain. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the body masculine .It‘s present in both men and women but obviously there‘s a lot more of it in men .It seems that testosterone has the effect of making men more interested in systems and less interested in people .This would explain why women have better social skills than men. All this is not to say that it‘s biological differences alone that make men and women different. Upbringing is very important too and parents treat boys and girls quite differently. For example, up to the age of two, mothers make more eye contact with daughters and talk to them more. Men are a lot more physical with their sons and play rougher and noisier games with them. Both men and women speak more loudly to boys than to girls and girls are stroked(轻抚) more than boys. We will probably never be able to decide exactly how important upbringing and biology are in creating male and female differences. But the journey of discovery is fascinating.。

People may argue with each other over very trivial things.2 Anti-social behaviour includes abusive behaviour, being verbally or physically abusive to others. People may become drunk and violent. Some may start shoplifting and mugging, or vandalizing and damaging public facilities, or littering and drawing graffiti, or begging and spitting (in some countries).3 Some people may just ignore what happens around them; some would report it to police; some wouldn’t really care or might even join in with the anti-social behaviour; some may fight back against those who are being anti-social.4 Different countries may have different laws, regulations or ways to deal with the problem. People in China can report the anti-social behaviour to police, the residential committee, local government, etc. They can also use local newspapers and TV to expose the anti-social behaviour.Watching and understanding2Answers1 It’s peaceful and quiet and just the place to relax.2 They fight.3 During the mating season.4 When they’re on a crowded street or bus.5 She’d be very angry and tell them to move.6 Maybe throw a little sand in their face and make them move.7 Move his towel next to them and start a conversation.8 People can get a lot more aggressive.9 She’s waiting until someone wants her parking space.3Answers1(b) 2(c) 3(c) 4(d) 5(a)4Example answers1 I guess the producer will show us what happens when someone wants to take her parking space.2 Perhaps another person will quickly take the parking space instead of the personwho is already waiting for her to come out of her place.3 Because he is following the social rule to wait for his turn, but another person just ignores this rule and takes the space without waiting.5Answers1 He pulls into the parking space that the producer left.2 Because he was waiting first.3 Anger management counselling.4 Because the radio is on.5 A hearing problem.6 He would beep the horn, roll down the window and shout very rude things at the person who took the space.7 She would yell out of the window and tell them to move.8 It is important for survival.6Answers7-1-4-14-11-12-5-6-8-2-9-13-3-10Developing critical thinking7Example answers1 I would advertise him to calm down and drive away. It is a waste of time to reason or argue with the person.2 Yes. I remember some time ago, I was at an airport and saw a person smoking in the hall. Funny enough, there was a non-smoking sign right behind him on the wall. So I went to him and calmly pointed to the sign and asked him to stop smoking. Instead of being apologetic and stopping smoking, he got really angry with me, staring at me, and continuing his smoking. So I said it again. He shouted to me: “None of your business!” I replied firmly: “Of course, it is my business and everyone else’s as well, because you are polluting our air. It is not good for your health either.” He paused fora short while, put out his cigarette and then walked away.3 It is difficult to compare, because it depends on many factors. I remember there were more beggars in the street before and now it seems there are fewer. However, I heard that some of the beggars are millionaires back in their villages. I suppose that years ago many beggars genuinely needed help.4 There are many ways people can try to control their anger. Physically, you can takea deep breath. Mentally, you can tell yourself that being angry will affect your emotions and harm your health.5 Personally, I can’t see any justification for aggression. However, if psychologists say that this could help with survival, then I suppose it is OK to become angry when you are wrongly blamed or accused of something you did not do.Listening and understanding2Answers●synergy: performance of effective groups > sum of individuals.●1930s Elton Mayo discovered “Hawthorne effect”:-- Being in a study improves productivity regardless of other factors.-- Personal identity, self-esteem and social context in which group works improve performance.●1960s Tuckman described stages of a group.-- 1 Forming: Individuals get to know each other.-- 2 Smoking: Individuals share ideas and creative energy.-- 3 Norming: Group identity forms-- 4 Performing: Group works together.3Answers1(c) 2(a) 3(e) 4(g) 5(f) 6(d) 7(h) 8(b)Developing critical thinking4Example answers1 Employers can show they value staff contributions by praising them (and raising their salaries if possible), and they can provide a positive working environment.2 Perhaps the best way to reach the performing stage is that each member of a group is given a clear role and responsibilities and group members can help each other in a competitive, but fair and friendly way.3●I think it would be a resource investigator, because I am very adventurous andkeen to explore new ideas.●I guess the role of completer-finisher suits me well, because I am very particularabout doing things perfectly.

Ancient Egyptians knew that death was inevitable—all living things eventually die— but in an attempt to make the afterlife as comfortable as possible, mummies were accompanied by things they would need in the future. The items buried with ancient Egyptians represented important aspects of their daily lives— everything from furniture to cooking oil. They believed that in the afterlife, these items became real and useful to the dead person. That idea may not seem rational nowadays, but ancient Egyptians didn’t distinguish between human needs before and after death. They even mummified pieces of meat to represent the food the dead person would need.

Part fourThe military aspect of the United States Civil War has always attracted the most attention from scholars. The roar of(1)gunfire, the massed movements of(2)uniformed men, the shrill o f bugles, and the drama of hand to hand combat have(3)facinated students of warfare for a century. Behind the (4)lines,however, life was less spectacular. It was the story of (5)back breaking labor to provide the fighting men with food and arms, of nerve tingling uncertainty about the course of national events, of (6)heartbreak over sons or brothers or husbands lost in (7)battle.If the men on the firing line won the victories, the(8)means to those victories were forged on the home front.(9) Never in the nation's history had Americans worked harder for victory than in the Civil War. Northerners and Southerners alike threw themselves into the task of supplying their respective armies. Both governments made tremendous demands upon civilians and, in general, received willing cooperations.By 1863 the Northern war economy was rumbling along in high gear. Everything from steamboats to shovels was needed and produced. Denied Southern cotton, textile mills turned to wool for blankets and uniforms. Hides by the hundreds of thousands were turned into shoes and harness andsaddles; ironworks manufactured locomotives, ordnance, armor plate. Where private enterprise lagged, the government set up its own factories or arsenals.(10) Agriculture boomed, with machinery doing the job of farm workers who have been drawn into the army. In short, everything that a nation needed to fight a modern war was produced in uncounted numbers. Inevitably there were profiteers with gold headed canes and flamboyant diamond stickpins, but for every crooked tycoon there were thousands of ordinary citizens (11)living on fixed incomes who did their best to cope with rising prices and still make a contribution to the war effort.Those who could bought war bonds; others knitted, sewed, nursed, or lent any other assistance in their powerSome pessimistic historians think the whole society of man runs in cycles and that one of the phases is war.The(12) optimists,on the other hand,think war is not like an (13)eclipse (日食) or a flood or a spell of bad weather.They believe that it is more like a disease for which a (14)cure could be found if the (15)causes were known.Because war is the (16)ultimate drama of life and death stories and pictures of it are more interesting than those about peace.This is so true that all of us,and perhaps those of us in television more than most,are often (17)caught up in the action of war to the exclusion of the ideas of it.If it is true,as we would like to think it is,that our age is more (18)civilized than ages past,we must all agree that it’s very strange that in the twentieth century,our century,we have killed more than 70 million of our fellowmen on(19)purpose,at war.It is very strange that since 1900 more men have killed more other men than in any other seventy years in history.Probably the reason we are able to do both, that is,(20)believe on the one hand that we are more civilized and on the other hand wage war to kill －is that killing is not so personal an affairas it once was.The enemy is invisible.(21) One man doesn’t look another in the eye and kill him with the sword.The enemy dead or alive is largely unseen.He is killed by remote control: a loud noise,a distant puff of smoke and then silence. The pictures of the victim’s wife and children,which he carries in his breast pocket,are destroyed with him.He is not heard to cry out.The question of compassion or pity or remorse does not enter into it.The enemy is not a man;he is a statistic.(22)It is also true that more people are being killed at war now than previously because we’re better at doing it than we used to be.One man with one modern weapon can kill thousands.。

Unit5Part 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening IScriptPart AJennifer is talking to an interviewer about her nightmare.Jennifer: It was always the same. Always. I was in a house, a strange house, and I knew somehow that I shouldn‘t have gone in. But there was some strange force pulling me. There were some stairs…very steep stairs… and I started to climb them, and … and then, suddenly fell. Then when I was at the bottom of the stairs, I suddenly realized that there was someone…or something else in the house with me, and that these eyes had been watching me all the time, and…I knew then that something terrible…was going to happen to me…that I was going to be punished…because I‘d done something I shouldn‘t have done. I didn‘t know what it was, but I knew it was wrong, very wrong. Then I could hear it…whatever it was in the house with me…coming closer in the darkness, because everything was dark, you see, and it came closer and closer. And I was scared…and there was nothing, nothing I could do to avoid it…nothing. I was trapped! Trapped in that dark house at the bottom of the stairs. There was no way out.Interviewer: And how often…Jennifer: No way out !Part BInterviewer: How often have you had this nightmare?Jennifer: When I was in college, just about every time I had an exam. And then, a few years later, when I was taking an intensive Italian course in Italy, I had the same dream again. Just the same as before.Interviewer: And you discussed it with a psychoanalyst ?Jennifer: Yes, later, after I came back to Los Angles, I started therapy, and this dream came up, and we discussed it quite a bit.Interviewer: And what did the psychoanalyst say?Jennifer: He said…uh…you have to be very careful about interpreting dreams, but we both agreed that the dream was a symbol of my fear of failure…of disappointing my parents when I was in college, for example, by failing my dreams, or…or when I was taking that Italian course, I remember how scared I was sometimes. Interviewer: Scared of what?Jennifer: Of making mistakes in class, in front of the teacher or the other students. I was always in fear.Interviewer: I see.Jennifer: And the dream was a kind of classic symbol of that fear…of the fear of failure. Falling down stairs in a dream is a symbol of that. The two words are very similar.Interviewer: Which…which two words? Oh, you mean…Jennifer: Y es, fall-fail, falling-failure. V ery similar, aren‘t they?Listening IIScriptNew research shows that dreams are often distorted reflections of our daily life. many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize our inner conflicts.According to some experts, men and women dream differently because of biological and social conditioning. In a study of 1000 dreams, half from each sex, experts found that men more often have action dreams .Usually these are set outdoors or in unfamiliar surroundings. Women dream more about emotional struggles with loved ones, usually in indoor settings. As more women have careers, their dreams might become more like man‘s. Researchers have found that while housewives dream more about children, women in the workplace dream about bosses and colleagues. Small children who are easily scared dream about frightening animals and monsters that that chase and attack them. Teenagers dream about romance and sex.Some dream researchers found in a study that people between 21and 34 have more anxiety over issues of right and wrong in their dreams, possibly because they are making importance decisions about career, marriage and life direction. People of age 35 to 49 are much less hostile toward others in their dreams, perhaps because they are reaching their greatest achievement and have less need for aggression while awake. After age 65, anxiety about aging appears much more often in people‘s dreams.If life stages affect our dreams, so do out attitudes. Studies show that angry people act out their anger in their dreams, and depressed people sometimes dream they are victim of rejection.Creative people often use their dreams to solve problems. According to the author Naomi Epel, when some writers, artists or scientists go to sleep, they ask their subconscious for a dream that will help them solve problems.Listening IIIScriptAlmost all people day dreaming during a normal day. We tend to daydreaming the most during those quiet times when we are alone in our cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. day dreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic human characteristic. Most people have reported that they enjoy their day dreams . Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women , but subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different. Men day dream more about being heroes and good athletes while women tend to daydream about fashions and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still common in old age. Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past. daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists believe that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play . It is a normal part of their development. It helps childrendevelop and explore their imagination.Daydreaming has advantages and disadvantages In some situations it can reduce a person's fear or anxiety. can also keep us entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, we must divert part of our attention from our environment. When it is important for us to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around us, day dreaming can cause problems. Listening IVScriptA Dream Within A DreamTake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow---Y ou are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Y es if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand---How few! Y et how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep---while I weep!O God! Can I not graspThen with a fighter clasp?O God! Can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream?Part 4 Further Speaking and ListeningFurther ListeningListening IScriptIn 1865 ,in a small town in Germany ,a little boy was very sick.

She screamed in her sleep.―Sh ,sh,‖ her husband said. ―It‘s all right .Y ou had a bad dream.‖The next night Max‘s mother screamed in her sleep again . She had the same terrible dream.On the third night Max‘s mother had another bad dream. She dreamed that Max was crying . She got out of bed and got dressed. ―Quick!

Then Max opened his eyes .Max was alive ! A week later he was playing with his friends.Max Hoffman died—really died—in the United State in 1953. He was 93 year old . Listening IIScript(A couple is talking about their 8-year-old daughter ,Debbie .They also have a son ,Barry ,who is 16.)Mother : I had to go in to Debbie twice last night .She was having these terrible nightmares! She was screaming and shouting and she kept trying to push me away .She was yelling , ―Don‘t hurt me ! Don‘t hurt me !‖Father : What was wrong with her then ?Mother : I don‘t know. I couldn‘t get a word out of her when she woke up this morningFather: Does Barry know anything about it ? Didn‘t she go with him to his friend‘s yesterday afternoon ?

They shouldn‘t be allowed to make them . They must be really sick! All they care about is making money –they don‘t care they are doing to kid s‘ minds.Listening IIIScriptDear Editor,Y our paper is great . I read with great interest your interpretation of dreams of teeth falling out .It is the same interpretation that many others use as well : needing to be heard etc. I myself had this dream repeatedly and was dying to know what it meant , as is was always confusing and disturbing . However , I was always unsatisfied with the ― needing to be heard ‖ thing.Y our might note that many people who have this dream are feeling worried , depressed or frightened as their teeth are falling out painlessly .Sometime they even try to keep the teeth from falling out . Finally I came up with a different interpretation , which fitted me much better . In fact , I‘ve had fewer dreams of this sort now .So I thought you might be interested .For me , the dream means I am talking TOO MUCH . It means thoughtlessness ,telling secrets , gossiping un wisely . And it‘s my subconscious warning me .Now ,if I have this dream ,I know I have been unwise with my big mouth ! Trying to cram the teeth back in , or stop them falling out ,or trying to find a dentist , actually means trying to stop the words or gossip from coming out , and the feelings of depression are reflecting the regret of being too revealing –usually to an enemy . I am much more aware of this now and not such a big mouth ! Maybe you could add to your interpretation,Best,KatieListening IVScriptSleep is something we generally associate with living creatures. Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animals life, like worms and snails, even really sleep. On the other hang, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep a human being needs depends on age, the individual and possibly race. .For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours, and adults between 7and9 hours. There are exceptional cases of old people who sleep only between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known for certain if certain if mental activity (apart from dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a specific, pre-determined time. There are also stories about mathematicians who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.Some types of unpleasant dreams (or ‗‗nightmares‘‘)are quite common, the dreams is taking a test, but is not properly prepared. he is falling from a tree ,or an animal or thing is chasing him. Some people say these last two occur because man‘s ancestors lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.。
