Multiple Choice (Reading Comprehension)Directions: Read the following passage and then choose the best answers to the questions that follow. (5 points)Passage 1"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength (气力) to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I cannot make worthy (富有的) men of you, but I can help make men of yourselves."Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable (有价值) to the human beings. They cannot gain achievements (成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts (努力).46.

Nature lovers can explore hundreds of acres (英亩) of lakes, forests and wetlands filled with native birds, fish and wildlife (野生动物).Florida is a sportsman's paradise (乐园) as well, with plenty of opportunities for water sportslovers. Florida is also the nation's best tennis location, with over 7,700 tennis facilities. With thousands of rivers and lakes, plus over 1,000 miles of beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf (海湾) of Mexico, Florida is a water sports wonderland.

True or FalseDirections: Read the following passage as fast as you can and then decide whether the statements that follow are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. (5 points)Passage 1The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional (职业的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (广告) than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say "Buy our things." It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as…" Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.66. The original meaning of the word "sport" is hunting wild animals and birds.67. The word "sport" used for organized games has a long history of over 100 years.68. People except professional sportsmen play the sport for fun.69. Famous sportsmen can't earn a lot of money besides the sport by advertisement.70. Sports nowadays have lost its original meaning.XI.

Short Conversations听短对话的技巧：1、在听短对话之前，应争取利用所有时间，如Direction 的时间首先去阅读各个选项，重点关注选项中有差异的的部分并打记，同时分析各个选项之间的内在关联。
然后对某些选项进行排除和保留。
1) 保留四个选项中相关联选项，排除无关联或关联很小的选项。
如果两个或三个选项中有共同信息，答案多为其中之一。
2) 如过两选项的信息紧密相关，如构成完成某件事情的步骤或过程，答案极可能为其中之一。
3) 若选项中有两个信息相反的选项，答案必为其中之一。
4) 若选项中的词语与听力原文的词语构成同义或近义，答案就为该选项。
5) 不要急于排除很短的选项，如表地点或职业的四个选项。
6) 四个选项若都为形容词，请注意其褒义和贬义的用法。
7) 四个选项所使用的时态或谓语动词词义的差异很大时，问题多为What can be inferred from … ? / What does the man mean?8) 选项中若有不符合常识的应予以排除。
2、听短对话时，应把握以下几点，（因为答案通常在此处出现）：1) 听短对话时，请特别留意第二个讲话人的内容。
考点答案通常在此，尤其是最后一句话。
2) 请特别留意使用特殊语音语调的句子。

4) 请特别留意表转折的but，however, actually, in fact 等关键词后的信息。

新视野大学英语视听说4第三版听力练习原文及答案
Short conversationsConversation 1W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I never have time for exercising.M: Don’t think it’s worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.Q: What advice does the man give to the woman?Conversation 2W: Hi, Mark, I’ve gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events? M: Well, drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables or bread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full.Q: What can we know about the woman?Conversation 3W: I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces.M: Yes, that’s right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa?Conversation 4M: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home,they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W: Yes, that’s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm. They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 5W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn’t seem to be a successful strategy.M: No, it isn’t. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a cup of 100 percent fruit juice.Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?Long conversationM: I love working out!W: Ugh! You’re sweating all over the floor …M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M: You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my mind relax and the stress just falls away.W: It is nice outside. My mom loves t’ai chi and a nearby t’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ve tried going, but it’s too early for me to get out of bed …M: T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It’s unhealthy for you to sit in front of your computer all day, every day!W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen? W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!W: A zoo membership! Now that’s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’s near my house, I can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Passage 1Have you ever felt you don’t have enough hours in the day? Or that you’d give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn’t making the list; that’s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “2”next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it’s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter. Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do a day’s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it canbe difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “night owls”, but that’s what email’s for! Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently Iinterrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can’t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be able to win some “me-time”for yourself.Short conversationsConversation 1W: So this is your last year in college. Have you ever thought about what you’d like to do after graduation?M: Well, I really don’t know. The job market seems to be improving, so I may look for a job somewhere. But I am also interested in applying for graduate school.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 2M: Do you remember Linda we met a while ago at Susan’s birthday party?W: Linda? Do you mean the lady who you said was a nurse in the community hospital before her retirement? Yeah, I remember. She looks very young for her age.Q: What does the woman think of Linda?Conversation 3M: I wish I could retire tomorrow. Then I would not need to worry about work.W: I don’t look forward to retirement. I’m afraid of getting old –my body will slow down, and my children will be away. I dread losing independence and living in loneliness.Q: What makes the woman afraid of getting old?Conversation 4W: I consider my early 20s to be the prime time of my life. How about you?M: I couldn’t agree with you more. That’s no doubt the golden period. You are young and energetic. You are free to pursue your passion. The best thing is that you have a wealth of opportunities to explore.Q: What does the man like best about being in his early 20s?Conversation 5W: Hi, John. You are taking Law 201 this semester, right? How do you like it?M: Yeah, it’s a great class. We’ve looked at several cases of age discrimination at work. Such cases are very interesting because they are rarely clear-cut and court decisions can be rather controversial.Q: What does the man say about age discrimination cases?Long conversationM: Nancy, time to make a birthday wish!W: I wish ... hmm. OK! I want a high-paying job, a husband with a perfect face and body, and abig house ... with a swimming pool!M: Wow, Nancy! Those are your three wishes?W: Of course! If I have those three things, I’ll be happy!M: Now, Nancy. Let me tell you my story, and you may see things differently.W: “See things differently?”What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?M: Here is what I once experienced in life. When I married, 32 years ago, we had a happy marriage, a beautiful house, two expensive cars, and $200,000 in the bank!W: See, just like now!M: Wait! I would suggest three different wishes!W: Well ... What would you wish for? You’re older and wiser!M: What happens if you lose your job, lose your house, and your husband becomes sick? I suggestthese three wishes: patience, courage and love!W: Patience, courage and love?M: Yes! If you have patience and courage, you and your husband will have good jobs and a nice house. And if you have true love, you and your husband will be beautiful to each other nomatter how old you become together.W: This is good.M: Within six years of our marriage, we had three beautiful children, but we lost our jobs, our house, all our money, and then I got really sick for nine years. But we didn’t lose anythingtruly valuable, because we always said: “Wherever the five of us are together, we are at home!”And, little by little things did improve, and I finally got well. Patience, courage and love!These are what make life full, strong and happy!W: Hmm, I will remember. Patience, courage and love! Thanks, Uncle Charlie!Passage 1If you think that you have to live up a remote mountain in order to live a long and healthy life,a religious community in Loma Linda, California, may prove you wrong. Its members are a group of Christians known as the Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists enjoy a much higher life expectancy than average Californians. Adventist men can expect to live about seven years longer than other Californian men. Adventist women are likely to live around four years longer than otherCalifornian women. The Adventists also act much younger than they are and see doctors much less than ordinary people.So what’s the secret of the Adventists’longevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their good health a mere accident. The Adventists live longer partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 percent of them are vegetarian, and around one half eat meat only rarely. Tobacco andalcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffeine. The Adventist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans, and water is the drink of choice.The longevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. They believe in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties. They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Linda, however, is not as good as in other longevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don’t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellent health. Despite this, the Adventists’good health certainly provides strong evidence that diet andlifestyle choices have a great impact on health and longevity.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I really need a holiday, so I’m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break?M: I haven’t got any plans yet. I don’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money, or maybe I could start studying for next semester.Q: What is the woman going to do over the semester break?Conversation 2M: I heard that you quit your swimming lessons. But you have paid $120 for them.W: Ah, it’s all these yoga sessions. I just couldn’t fit them all in. What’s more, I got the majority of my fees back because I quit immediately after the first day.Q: Why did the woman quit her swimming lessons?Conversation 3M: Shall we spend our weekend in Singapore? We can leave Friday afternoon so as to have dinner next to the river and enjoy fireworks at the shore!W: I’d rather go on Saturday. My aunt will drop in on Friday evening. We haven’t seen each otherfor a couple of years.Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to leave on Friday?Conversation 4M: What do I need to bring for our camping trip to the national park?W: Well, we’ve bought the food and rented a van. It’s a camping vehicle with a fridge and cookingequipment. I think you will need a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings.Q: What does the woman suggest the man bring for the camping trip to the park? Conversation 5M: Have you confirmed your booking at the hotel in Sydney? With only three days left before our trip, I hope everyone is as ready as I am!W: Not yet. But I’d better call them before we start our vacation. During this time of year theyalways get quite busy.Q: What will the woman probably do before the vacation?Long conversationM: Rebecca, I just learned of an amazing park right here near our city!W: Really? Is it a nature park or an entertainment park?M: It’s a beautiful nature park, located 15 miles from our home.W: What’s it called?M: It is called Big Sky Park and has nice walking trails and camping sites!W: Bill, this is perfect! We can have a vacation and still keep saving money to visit my family sometime. But, can we get to Big Sky Park without a car?M: Yes, easily. We just take the No. 32 bus that goes right to the park. The only problem will be getting all of our camping stuff with us on the bus.W: Well, I did just buy that new cart to help carry groceries home on the bus, plus we have your big backpack. Together, I think we will be fine. All of our camping equipment should easily fit on the bus.M: Good. Good! I know we can make it a really special weekend. I have longed for a time when we could walk alone together in the quiet beauty of nature. I’m so, so happy to have this chance to be with you at the park.W: I know me too! I know what I’ll do! I’ll pack all of our favorite food, and I’ll bake a small chocolate cake. Your favorite! Then we can drink tea and eat the chocolate cake around a campfire. I’m so happy you found Big Sky Park. I can’t wait, just two more days for the weekend to come!M: I’m so happy as well. Big Sky Park will be wonderful. The fire, the dinner and spending time with you make me such a happy, happy man, Rebecca!Passage 1A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. Butyou have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things such as sofas, beds and anything that makes you feel like taking a rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around relaxingly in the museum.It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened rightafter the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.The museum’s founder Marcela Arrieta said she wanted people to rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they may feel they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and change our lifestyle to a type that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stress ofwork can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta’s advice for yourself, slow down, and think about being lazy?Short conversationsConversation 1M: I think the government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address.W: It’s not a bad idea. But I wonder where the money will come from.Q: What does the man think the government could do?Conversation 2W: You see, some colleagues are not as active and efficient as usual and few have made any progress in their business recently.M: Why don’t we organize some social activities, such as a baseball match? Our colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another.Q: What does the man suggest to change the situation?Conversation 3W: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of day.M: When you take the subway, you don’t have to deal with traffic. I never drive home. Driving at this time may be slower than walking.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?Conversation 4W: Have you heard? Kate quit her job and went to Africa to work as a volunteer!M: Really? I really admire her courage. I think we should all extend an arm of help, love and compassion to help poor people become self-reliant financially and psychologically.Q: What does the man think we all should do?Conversation 5W: You know there are many creative ways to reuse items. For example, old shoe boxes can be used for storage and plastic containers can be used for growing plants.M: I never realized that we could be so green. I just learned to recycle glass bottles.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationW: Hey, John! Everything OK? You look upset.M: Oh, hi Kate. I was in the cafeteria eating alone. James from accounting walked by, sat down to eat at the table right next to me –didn’t say a single word to me. I wondered why.W: Is that the main thing stressing you out, John?M: No, I was silly to feel bad about that. What I am stressed about is my workload. My manager, Steven, is a great guy. He always counts on me to get the work done. But I have five meetingsthis week and two big projects to complete by next Monday. I don’t see how I can finish. I’m really worried I’ll let my team down.W: I have some free time on Friday and over the weekend. I can help you with your extra work if you’d like. I know that feeling of being overwhelmed with work. It’s awful. I’d like to help. M: Really? You’d do that for me?W: Of course I will! John, a lot of us really admire your work. Some of us have asked to work on your team. You’re a great example to us, John. You shouldn’t doubt yourself. I’m glad to help out.M: Wow, Kate. Thanks!W: We could ... discuss it over dinner on Thursday. My treat!M: Wow. No ... I mean I get to buy dinner, Kate! How about the new restaurant on 6th Street, 365?It’s called 365 because it offers local, seasonal foods –fall, winter, spring, and summer –healthy choices with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. Let’s meet at 7 p.m.W: Sounds wonderful! Thursday, 7 p.m. at the new restaurant 365 on 6th Street. Perfect!Passage 1More than half of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a survey. That’s bad news for employers because workers’discontent can hurt productivity and hinder innovation.Lynn Franco, co-author of the report, says Americans’job satisfaction is at its lowest level in more than two decades: Only 45.3 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobs compared with 61 percent in 1987.The report was produced by the Conference Board, a non-profit organization that helps businesses strengthen their performance. It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee’s work life, including interest in the job, dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither young people who are just entering the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says, arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it’s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 percentof baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that’s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opportunities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction. Thereare economic reasons such as wages, promotion policy and bonus policy that are sort of adding tothis level of dissatisfaction. In addition, workers are also dissatisfied with the benefits: vacation policy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I’ve read a lot about this young singer in the music press. She’s certainly creating a stir. Is she really that good?M: She’s absolutely brilliant. Each of her performances has been a sell-out. Her mix of rap and folk music is unique and awesome.Q: What does the man say about the singer?Conversation 2M: So here we are in Rome, Italy. In the next four days, we are going to have a full schedule.W: I’m so excited. Rome has been my dream city. I can’t wait to see the historical buildings, visit the art galleries and eat real Italian pizza. By the way, shall we start with the famous Capitoline Museums tomorrow?Q: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Conversation 3W: Besides modern opera, which you are studying now, are there any other areas of the arts you enjoy?M: All sorts. I like pop music, and I very much enjoy pencil drawing. But what interests me most is poetry, especially American poetry in the early 20th century.Q: What’s the man’s area of study?Conversation 4M: Hi. I am calling to inquire about the exhibit of ancient Greek sculptures you are now hosting. Could you please tell me the admission fee and the opening times?W: Sure. Admission is free. The opening hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.Q: How long does the exhibit open on Saturdays?Conversation 5W: Darling, let’s check out the reviews of this movie online. If it’s good, we should watch it. M: I think we should. To watch a silent movie is certainly not something common in modern days. The actors must have superb skills to attract the audience if they do not say anything.Q: What is special about the movie?Long conversationW: This feels like a dream ... The last time I was in San Francisco was 30 years ago, when I was your age, 15 years old. So much has changed in the city–but you know–many of the sites are just the same.M: Wow! San Francisco is as beautiful as a picture! I can’t believe it! Let’s get going! Let’s look at the map and take the streetcar to the Golden Gate Bridge.W: Yes, of course. But, wait–let’s just take a moment to look at the Golden Gate Bridge from here–up high on the hill. See how amazing the sun looks, shining on the bridge there high above the water? Sometimes the best way to really enjoy something is to see it from different angles and perspectives.M: Yes! Just beautiful from here! OK! Let’s get going! Wait! You know what, Aunt Lucy, I’m really, really hungry! May we eat before we head out to see the Golden Gate Bridge?W: Yes, of course we can. We’re already here in Chinatown and near my favorite Chinese restaurant. Even after 30 years have passed since I last visited, it’s still busy and active.M: That’s great, Aunt Lucy!W: And, it’s right here!M: Wow! This is amazing! The man inside the window is making noodles by hand–just by pulling on the flour dough. I’ve never seen anything like it before. How?W: Yes, I know. It’s amazing, right? And the food is delicious, too! Sometimes the best way to enjoy culture is to simply slow down and truly experience it. We have five full days here inSan Francisco. Let’s go slowly and enjoy every moment!Passage 1The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world. It was created byLeonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, between around 1503 and 1506. The subject is the wife of a wealthy silk merchant of Italy. The woman’s husband requested Da Vinci to portray her as a celebration of their home’s completion and the birth of their second son. What is it about thispainting that has created such a lasting impact on the artistic world?One factor is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a scientist,an architect and an engineer. His knowledge of the human form came from the study of actual human bodies, so he was able to draw and paint it more accurately.Another factor is the material used for the painting. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, butunlike other paintings, which are usually created on canvas, the Mona Lisa has a wood panel as the surface. The use of a wood panel makes it possible for the work to have survived for centuries.Lastly, the style and techniques used for the painting make the Mona Lisa a masterpiece. Da Vinci presented precise details in the subject’s hands and face. He applied a shadowing techniqueat the corners of her lips and her eyes, which gives her an unbelievably lifelike appearance. He also created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape. His remarkable skills left behind no visible brush marks at all.All these factors–Da Vinci’s talent, the medium used for the painting, the style and techniques applied in the work–contribute to the lasting and mysterious beauty of the Mona Lisa.Short conversationsConversation 1M: There is not much worth in reading the newspapers these days. They have more pages but fewer words that really matter.W: You said it! All you find in them are advertisements and celebrity gossip. I wish they could direct more attention to issues that are more important to society.Q: What does the man think of today’s newspapers?Conversation 2W: Hello. Today on Business Focus I am talking about knowledge management with Mr. Adam Johnson, the Human Resources Manager of a multinational company. Mr. Johnson, how has knowledge management changed the way your company works?M: In lots of ways. The most significant change occurs in how we manage the process of our project development …Q: What is the woman probably doing?Conversation 3W: Recently, reality television has swept across almost all channels: matchmaking, job hunting, and talent shows. I don’t know why people are so crazy about it!M: In my view, some people watch reality TV because it makes them feel they’re better than others. They may also enjoy seeing other people get embarrassed.Q: What does the man say about reality TV?Conversation 4W: I think teenagers today experience a different social reality from what we had before.M: Exactly. When we were kids, we would hang out with friends, chatting, or going to movies. That’s our experience, but what we see now is that young people are choosing to live online. Q: How do young people socialize today according to the man?Conversation 5W: Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are, butI think communications technology is bringing people closer.M: Yes, I’d go along with you on that. With these modern tools, there’s a new kind ofconnectionbeing built within families.Q: What does the man think of modern communications technology?Long conversationW: Hey Billy! It’s 7:30 p.m.!

But why is Dad on his computer while I can’t be on mine!W: Billy, your father is working. But you are chatting with your friends about celebrities!So your father needs to be on his computer. And you don’t!M: OK. Sorry, Mom. What are we having for dinner? Pizza?W: Pizza?! I’ve made us a nice dinner of roast chicken, mushroom soup and vegetable salad. I even made chocolate cake for dessert –and you want pizza!M: Just kidding Mom! I love your cooking! Mmm I’m hungry, and it smells delicious!W: Billy! I told you to shut down all electronics!M: Mom! This isn’t fair. You told me to turn off my computer and my TV –you didn’t say all electronics –and you didn’t mention my cell phone! I have to check the news! My favorite golf player just got in trouble for drunk driving! Please Mom! I have to find out!W: You can’t go five minutes without having your eyes on a screen! Hand me your phone. Now! I am turning it off so we can have a nice dinner.M: OK Mom. Fine! Here’s my phone.W: Now, where is your father?M: Will you make Dad do the same? We never have family dinner anymore without Dad being on electronics!W: Hmm, you know, Billy, you have a very good point. I think it’s time we had family dinner without any electronics.

As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is not acceptable. Whereas2 in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact wordsthat I would use to explain my feelings. I even wrote my words down.

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.W: I always thought that culture shock was something that would happen to other people, not to me.M: Actually, I’m not totally certain what the words �Dculture shock‖ refer to.W: Culture shock is the anxiety that occurs when a person moves to completely new surroundings. M: Does it include a lack of direction and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate? W: It sure does. And, it generally sets in a few weeks after arriving in a new place. M: Is it a physical or mental discomfort?W: It’s both. Most people suffer stress in their body and mind. It can result in feeling very tired, getting sick, becoming depressed and doing things you might otherwise think are wrong. M: I think I’v exp erienced all of the symptoms（症状）.W: It’s only natural. When you first arrive, you don’t speak the language, don’t know how to use banking machines, don’t know how to use the telephone and so forth. M: At the same time it can also be an opportunity.W: I agree. It can help you develop a better understanding of yourself and encourage a sense of creativity. Questions:1 What did the woman first think about culture shock? 解析：该题四个选项并没有给我们提供太多的有用信息，因此学生要认真听懂该对话和问题后才能解答2 Which of the following statements is NOT true about people experiencing culture shock?3 How may culture shock affect people’s lives?4 When the woman talks about the newcomer’s inability, which of the following is NOT mentioned?5 How can culture shock also be an opportunity?Task 2 Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.Even though you may not be able to eliminate1 culture shock, there are ways to ease the stress. The following are some activities that can help:Get out of your room or apartment, so you are able to experience first-hand what Americans are doing.Make friends so you can talk to them and ask about what you don’t understand.
