新编大学英语视听说book3Unit4听力答案及文本1Unit 4Part OneListening IFor many of you this will be your last year at university and now is the time for you to begin thinking seriously about your future careers. In order to give you as much help as possible, I have quoted a list of questions that you ought to ask yourself.First, "Have I got a clear knowledge of my abilities as well as my interests?" Be honest about your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Take a really good look at yourself and give real thought to the kind of person you are, and what kind of person you want to be.Second, "Do I know the kinds of occupations in which people like myself tend to find success and satisfaction?" Talk to people who have similar abilities and interests and who are already in the careers that interest you. You can gain some idea of what they consider to be important and challenging in those careers. Watch these people at work.Third, "Have I weighed carefully the immediate advantages against the long-term prospects offered by the jobs I am considering?" Will the occupation you select give you satisfaction in the years to come? Realize now the importance of education in all fields, technical and professional. Remember that chances of promotion are usually given to educated persons—other things being equal.Fourth, "Have I talked with my parents, my teachers and my headmaster?" Remember they have a lot of experience that you can benefit from. They can help you think about the jobs. Theycan stimulate you to give careful thought to what you really want to do, and offer useful suggestions about how you might take full advantage of your personal qualities and qualifications.Last, "How do I regard my job? Is it just a means of getting money to do the things that I want to do? Is the work important to my future happiness? Is it a combination of both?"The above questions and their answers should give you some better ideas about how you should start planning your career. Your life-long job cannot be approached in any kind of haphazard fashion. It must be considered carefully, examined from every angle, and talked over with those who know you and those who can help you in any way.Exercise 12、4、5、6、8Exercise 21. weaknesses2. similar abilities and interests / interest you/ important and challenging3. education/ promotion/ educated persons4. parents/ teachers / benefit /give careful thought /useful suggestions / personal qualities5. getting money / our future happiness/ combinationListening II(Here's a dialog between a woman whose job is to help people find jobs and a man looking for a job.)Woman: Look. Here's a job that might interest you.Man: What is it? Are you sure? The last job interview you sent me off to was a disaster.Woman: Well, look. It says they want a sales manager, and it looks like it's a big international company. That'd be good. Youmight get to travel.Man: What kind of company is it, though?Woman: Um, let's see. Yes, it's a textile company that seems to import from abroad. They say the salary is really good. They operate a system of paying you a basic salary and then offering you a sales commission on top of that. They say it is high. And oh, look! They give you a car to travel round in. That's not bad, is it?Man: Um, do they say anything about experience?Woman: Um, let's see. No, they want someone young with ambition and enthusiasm. Oh yes, they want graduates, so that's OK. You've been to university. Now what else? Let's see.Man: There must be some catch.Woman: No, the only thing is you have to travel, but then that's what the company car's for. Oh, and you have to be able to get on well with other people because it says you have to be good on a team.Man: Um, perhaps I'll have a closer look at that one.Exercise 11. D2. D3. A4. BExercise 21. import from abroad2. sales manager3. salary4. sales commission5. travel in6. experience7. university8. on a teamListening IIIInterviewer: Some people feel that their jobs are misunderstood by others. Is that very common?Sociologist: Oh, absolutely. Most jobs or professions have an image or stereotype attached to them, and some of these are not realistic. The serious point is that young people choose their careers based on these false images, and they may even avoid certain careers which have a negative image. This can cause problems for the economy.Interviewer: Is there evidence of this problem?Sociologist: Yes, there was a recent survey of children's attitudes to different professions.Interviewer: How was this done? Children don't know much about jobs and professions.Sociologist: True. What the investigators wanted to get was children's impressions and prejudices. They gave the children twelve pairs of statements, one of the pair positive, and the other negative. Children were asked to say which of the statements was "most true" for each profession.Interviewer: For example?Sociologist: Well, for example, "Such and such a person is likely to be boring or interesting company."Interviewer: I see. What professions did they ask about?Sociologist: The list is long, but it included lawyers, economists, accountants, sales representatives, scientists and engineers.Interviewer: And the results?Sociologist: Well, they are striking, especially for engineerswho came out much worse than one might expect. About 90 percent of the children thought that engineering was a "dirty job", of "low status", and the engineer was more likely to take orders than to give them. The only other person they thought more likely to lose his job was the sales representative. But, there were good points too. Engineering was seen to be "interesting, well-paid work".Interviewer: Hmm, not a rosy picture.Sociologist: No, but it got better when children were asked what they thought of the engineer as a person. Most of them chose positive comments, but most thought the engineer was likely to be badly dressed.Interviewer: What about other professions? What were the most popular?Sociologist: Oh, the lawyers by far. Next came accountants and scientists as well as economists. The engineers and sales representatives were the least popular.Interviewer: Sounds like a sign of the times.Sociologist: Yes, but I think the most serious implication was the children's apparent ignorance of the importance of the engineer's role in society.Exercise 11. choose their careers2. avoid certain careers3.different professions4. impressions and prejudices5. lawyers6. accountants7. scientists8. most popular9. least popular 10. ignoranceExercise 21. T2. F3. T4. F5. TListening IVMegan: Tim, if you could pick any occupation in the world, what do you think would be a cool one?Tim: Well, truth be told, i think it would be pretty awesome to be a commercial fisherman. Megan: Fisherman! Why would you want to be a fisherman?Tim: Believe it or not, i’m really fascinated by the ocean. I like spending time in the ocean and I think if you go out on those boats and get away from the land, you really get in touch with the sea.Megan: Is it dangerous, though?Tim: Oh, it can be dangerous, for sure. You can get caught in storms. It can be rough sometimes.Megan: Do you get paid a lot of money?Tim: Not so much, but that is not necessarily vital. You know, you can work with nature. You can catch healthful food, provide for yourself, and I think that’s really fulfilling. How about you , Megan? What do you think would be a cool job?Megan: I think I would like to be a writer.Tim: Why is t hat? Lots of writers don’t succeed in making much of a living.Megan:Well, being a movie star would be exciting too, or a rock star, but the fame is overwhelming—too many peoplealways want to talk to you or want your autograph. I think as a writer, you are doing something you love without all that pressure or the media coming after you, and you can sort of make your own workk schedule and do it where you like. You can write in the countryside in a cabin, or you can write in the city wherever you please. So, I think it is a very flexible, rewarding job.Tim: Yeah, you’ve got to have the aptitude for it, though. Do you think you have what it takes?Megan: No, not yet. I’m a terrible writer. But anyway, if I could have my pick of jobs, I’d like to be a writer.Exercise 11. C2. A3. C4. B5. DExercise 21. occupation, cool2. catch, provide, fulfilling3. media coming after you, making your own work schedule4. have my pick of jobsPart 4Further ListeningListening IThere are at least 100 million workers in the Unites States. Most of them are on the job 35 to 40 hours a week. Their typical day includes seven to eight hours of work. Usually, they have a 15-minute coffee break in the morning and in the afternoon. But work schedules vary from job to job.White-collar workers—office workers and manyprofessionals—usually have "nine to five" jobs. They begin at 9:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. "Blue-collar" workers—mechanics, electricians, and laborers—often work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In many factories, blue-collar workers come to work in eight-hour shifts. Typically, these shifts start at 8:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m., and midnight. Finally, sales people and managers in retail stores work on Monday and Thursday nights, when the stores are open. Many retail workers also work on Saturdays, and some work on Sundays.These are the normal schedules for most American workers. However, many businesses now use a new system called "flex-time scheduling". Under this system, the employees choose their own working hours. Some people work from 8:00 to 4:00 five days a week. Some work from 9:00 to 5:00. Other people work 10 or 12 hours a day four days a week. Employees and managers are both happy with the system. The employees like the freedom of choice, so they work hard. The managers, of course, like the hard-working employees.What, then, is a typical work schedule? It depends on the job—and on the workers.Exercise:1. 100 million2. 35 to 403. 7 to 84. office workers, many professionals5. 8:00 to 4:006. eight-hour shifts7. Monday ,Thursday, Saturdays ,Sundays8.choose their own working hours, freedom of choice , happy withListening IIMan: How long have you worked for AM-ADMEL, Gill?Woman: Only for a year. It's May now, isn't it? Yes, I joined last August in fact.Man: August in 1996.Woman: Yes.Man: What did you do before that?Woman: I used to work for a travel agency in London.Man: It was interesting, wasn't it?Woman: Not really. It was just secretarial work, rather like this job. And it wasn't too well-paid. But I took a secretarial course when I left school and I couldn't think what else to do.Man: So you went straight from school into a secretarial course, didn't you?Woman: Well, not quite. I left school when I was 16, in 1989, I think it was. And then I went to work in a hotel in Austria for a year, to learn some German.Man: Austria? Why Austria?Woman: I don't know really. Well, we used to go there on holiday quite often when we were younger, and, well, I like Austria actually. Anyway then I went back and did the secretarial course. That was a year's course.Man: And then you got the job at the travel agency I suppose.Woman: Yeah, that's right. That was in 1991.Man: So you were there for five years!Woman: Yes, it's awful, isn't it? Actually, I'm thinking of giving it all up to become a nurse.Man: Really?Woman: Well, I worked in a hospital in Twickenham during my last year at school. Just cleaning and helping to make bedsand so on. It was part of our Practical Careers training.Man: And you liked it?Woman: Yes, it was interesting.Exercise1. A2. D3. C4. A5. DListening IIIMan: Well, now then, one thing I'd like to ask is, er, exactly why you applied for the job. I mean, just looking at your application form, you're actually over-qualified...Woman: Yes, I thought you might ask that. Um, the thing is, in my present job, although I'm actually in charge of a small team and I have a lot of responsibility, it's largely a desk job with a lot of paperwork...Man: And you're not too keen on being stuck in an office all day?Woman: To be honest, no, I'm not. I much prefer being out on site where I can supervise things, and deal with problems as they occur. And this job should give me the kind of contact with other engineers, architects, builders and so on.Man: Mmm. You'd certainly have to do quite a lot of traveling in the local area, you know, visiting different sites. You do realize, though, that the starting salary isn't as good as the salary in your present job?Woman: Yes, I realize that, but um, it does say in the job advertisement that the promotion prospects are very good.Man: That's true, and er, as this is a new project that we'reworking on, we think there'll be a very good chance of fairly quick promotion, depending on performance, that is...Woman: Yes, of course. Well, you see, I've got very little chance of promotion in my present job.I mean it's a very small company and there's nowhere really for me to go; that's why I'm looking around for somewhere else.Exercise1. C2. B3. D4. C5. AListening IVDavid: Hi! You're listening to Radio Southwest, the best in the southwest for music andup-to-the-minute news. Sue's here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David: And we've got the Jobspot for you today. So, if you're looking for a new job, this could be the spot for you. So, let's have a look, and see what we've got today.Sue: Well, the first one we've got is a cook. That's in a large, busy restaurant, so it's very useful to have had experience in cooking. Must be a high school graduate and the pay is $12 an hour. So that's not bad, is it? The hours are good too. That's Monday to Friday, 3:00 p.m. till 6:00 p.m.David: Great. Thanks, Sue. So that's a cook. Now, how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? So as long as you're fit and strong, and at least 16 years old, that'll suit you. The pay is $8 an hour. And the hours, Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you have to work on Sundayonce a month, but on Monday the Garden Center's closed. Now, the sort of work you'd be doing is potting, watering, things like that. So, how about applying for that? Pay, $8 an hour. Sue, what else have you got?Sue: Right, Dave. Well, from outdoors to indoors. We've got a word processor operator job here. This job might suit a woman with school-age children, because the hours are only 15 hours a week. It's a small, friendly office, and they require a high school graduate with two years' experience operating a computer. Pay is $9 per hour. So, there you go. That's a nice job in an office. If you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on Jobspot at Radio Southwest. And now back to the music.Exercise 11. C2. A3. B4. D5. BExercise 21. ADF2. BF3. ACE。

Unit 4 HealthListeningAudio Track 3-4-1A: Has anyone you know ever fainted?B: Oh, yes. He was one of my high school friends. One day he just fell on the floor and lost consciousness.A: What happened then?B: We felt very anxious. So one of us hurried to tell our teacher, and the rest of us waited beside him.A: Was it serious?B: Thankfully, it wasn’t. He recovered before our teacher arrived.A: How lucky!B: , he really was. He told us that he had been playing online games all night and he hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why he felt lightheaded and fainted.Audio Track 3-4-2/Audio Track 3-4-3/Audio Track 3-4-4Female newscaster (F), Male newscaster (M), Woman (W)F: Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn’t it?M: Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They’re calling it the “holiday cruise disease.”F: It sounds scary. What caused it?M: The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it was somet hing in the food the passengers ate.F: OK, give us the details.M: All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded.They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience.W: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really terrible!F: What’s the situation now?M: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday —after only two and a half days at sea —and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They’re exhausted —many haven’t slept fo r 48 hours —but they’re doing fine.F: That’s good news. It’s too bad they couldn’t enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn’t want to refund the full amount.F: What’s going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story, though, and I’ll have more details for you tomorrow.Audio Track 3-4-5/Audio Track 3-4-6/Audio Track 3-4-7Mom: Have you finished packing?Bill: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time. I don’t want to forget any of the pieces. Mom: Is that your first aid kit?Bill: Yep.Mom: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin. Where’s everything else?Bill: Like what?Mom: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste, for example.Bill: I’ll put it in. Don’t worry.Mom: And where is your allergy medicine? You’ll need your nasal spray and some lozenges. Just in case.Bill: OK.Mom: Are you going to pack any lotion? You know, you might touch some poison ivy or something and then …Bill: Mom, it’s only an overnight camping trip.Mom: OK, all right then. Oh … what about mouthwash? After you brush your teeth you’re going to want …Bill: Mom, I’m not preparing for a date. I’m going on a camping trip! An overnight camping trip.I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!Mom: All right, then. I was just trying to be helpful. … I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Audio Track 3-4-8Susan: What’s wrong?Anne: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.Susan: Do you have a cold?Anne: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred — he has the flu.Susan: I’m sorry to hear that.Anne: , it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Audio Track 3-4-9I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was hard to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinkingcoffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early!A lot of people drink coffee just because they feel tired.Audio Track 3-4-10/Audio Track 3-4-11Get in the habit!We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.These habits are:1. eating breakfast every day2. avoiding snacks between meals3. keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4. exercising regularly5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6. not smoking7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret’s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can’t. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she’s embarrassed by it. “I’ve never been a tidy person,” she says. “My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.”Today it’s so easy to get information … and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and messages. For some people, it’s too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can’t think clearly. “I can’t sleep at night because I worry,” says Bahman, a college seni or. “It’s terrible.” Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. “I’m always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,” says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in “deskfast” (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurrysickness!We’ve all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you’re working. Steven works as a project manager. “I can finish my work in about four hours, but I’m afraid to say anything about it. I don’t want to be assigned too much work!” In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even become depressed. Chances are you’ve experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be “pain in the neck,” because that’s what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between y our neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long massage is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Audio Track 3-4-14Ed is about to faint.Stop him from falling.Ask him to sit down.Loosen his collar.Ann has already fainted.Lay her on her back.Raise her legs.Check her body for injuries.Speaking and CommunicationAudio Track 3-4-15Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad.

Have you tried it yourself?B: Absolutely. It really works.A: I don’t know ... I’m scared of needles.B: Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt and it’s very safe. You know, it has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medical practice.C: If you’re afraid of needles, perhaps you should try hypnotism.A: Is it effective in curing headaches?C: Sure it is. It has been used to treat nervous energy and pain. The biggest advantage is that no medicine is required because it uses your mind to bring you peace of mind. It will definitely do you good.A: But I’m not sure if I could be hypnotized.C: Relax. I’ll recommend you a very nice hypnotist.D: If you find it difficult to be hypnotized, you should try yoga.A: But it’s physically challenging.D: That’s true but yoga emphasizes control of breathing and it’s a very good way to exercise.

Unit 4 ConservationPart II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLesson A Why Are They Endangered?ListeningSCRIPTTrack 4-1Numbers of most animal species worldwide are going down. For example, in the 1970s, there were about 1,200,000 African elephants. Today there are only about 500,000. In the 1970s, there were about 200,000 African lions. Today, there are fewer than 21,000. But there is some good news. For example, in the 1970s, there were only about 1,000 bald eagles. Today, there are more than 50,000. Giant panda populations also look to be increasing, but very slowly. In the 1970s there were about 1,000 pandas in the wild, today scientists think there are about 1,600.Animals worldwide are in danger for several reasons. First, people poison them because they want to kill them. This happens with lions, for example. Also, many farmers who grow food use pesticides to kill insects. Some animals eat these insects and die, too. This happened with bald eagles until farmers stopped using the dangerous pesticide called DDT.Second, there is habitat loss. In much of the world, people cut down trees. They destroy forests because they need land for farms and cities. This takes away land from animals. This happens, from example, with lions, elephants, and pandas.Third, there is hunting. People sometimes kill animals for food. They also kill animals for their body parts. For example, poachers kill elephants for their white tusks. More often, farmers want to protect their own animals — their cows and sheep — so they kill lions. Or they want to protect their land, so they kill elephants. In the past, poaching was a problem for pandas as people hunted pandas for their skin. Today, this isn’t really a problem for them.1.

Why are they endangered?A: Mainly because of hunting by humans and habitat loss.B: How many are left?A: Only about 25,000.Lesson BListening 1SCRIPTTrack 4-3Zeb HoganMany of the world’s largest freshwater fish are endangered. In Mongolia, for example, people who live near the rivers and lakes are often poor. They kill the fish for food, decreasing their numbers. People also kill them for sport, so their numbers are further decreasing. Zeb Hogan, from the United States, is working with local people to save fish such as the giant salmon in Mongolia. Hogan is part of a project to bring tourists to rivers in Mongolia. They pay to catch salmon for sport, and then release them — throw them back into the water. The fish are not hurt, and the people in Mongolian villages make money from the tourism.Tuy Sereivathana (Vathana)In Cambodia, there are many new towns, roads, and farms, and elephant habitats are disappearing. Because of this, elephants go into villages and eat the crops. Poor farmers kill them to protect their land. As a result, the Cambodian elephant population has fallen from 2,000 in 1995 to fewer than 500 today.Tuy Sereivathana (known as Vathana), from Cambodia, is working to save Asian elephants. He builds schools where students learn about conservation. Also, he teaches farmers ways to keep their land safe from elephants, so farmers don’t kill them. For example, he shows them how to use fireworks to scare elephants, or to put hot chili peppers on fences around their fields. The farmers keep their crops, and the elephants keep their lives.1. Cambodia：柬埔寨Listening 2SCRIPTTrack 4-4Many people worldwide want to help endangered animals by donating money or volunteering. However, they don’t know about the many projects conservationists are doing to save animals. Another big problem is that many conservationists want to share the work they do with the rest of the world, but don’t know how.Paula Kahumbu, from Kenya, writes books and gives talks. Also, she is the director of a website, . This site has many blogs, photos, and podcasts from about 120 different conservation projects in different countries. The conservationists tell people about their important work, and people around the world can read about the conservationists’ projects — for example, saving gorillas in the Congo or orangutans in Indonesia or lions in Kenya. People can learn about the projects and send money to help, if they want.1. Kenya：肯尼亚，位于非洲东部，全境位于热带季风区2. Congo：刚果，位于非洲中西部3. Indonesia：通称印度尼西亚，简称印尼，东南亚国家PART III VIDEOSCRIPTNarrator:It’s morning in Kenya, at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Little elephants and their humankeepers are waking up to a beautiful African morning.This is little Shimba. He came to the nursery when he was only six weeks old.And this is ten-month old Shula. Shula became an orphan when her mother was killed by poachers.Many of the orphans here had mothers killed by poachers. And without their mothers, these baby elephants would not have survived in the wild. In total, the orphanage has saved over 100 young elephants. But taking care of baby elephants is not easy. It took the Trust twenty years to find the right food and care to keep the baby elephants alive. Elephants canno t drink cow’s milk, so they must drink a special kind of milk. Every baby elephant needs to drink more than 10 liters of this special milk every 24 hours. That’s a lot of milk. When they get older, they must drink even more milk to stay healthy. They can now also eat some dried coconut and oatmeal.Growing elephants don’t just need a lot of food, they also need a lot of love. The keepers stay close to their elephants 24 hours a day. Just as a mother elephant would stay close to her children. With their human parents nearby, and a soft blanket to rest against, the babies feel safe and warm.And then it’s playtime! Like human children, young elephants love to play.Edwin Lucichi, a keeper, says: They behave like human babies. What you tell them not to do is what they want to do. And where you want them not to go is where they want to go.There are 51 keepers here in all. Their job is to care for the elephants until they are ready to go back into the wild. Sometimes this can take up to ten years. But it is possible. The Trust has seen elephants from the orphanage re-enter the wild and start families of their own.For one hour every day, the Trust lets in tourists and locals who want to see the elephants. It’s a chance to show people what they’re doing and teach people how important it is to protect the elephants.In just thirty years, over two and half million elephants have died, many killed by poachers. And their habitats have been destroyed by human activity. But here at the Trust, the orphans are all safe, for now.As the sun sets, the baby elephants are put to bed by their keepers who will stay close-by all night in case the babies need them. And with their help, the Trust hopes these animals will have a bright future under the African sky.1. coconut：椰子2. oatmeal：燕麦片。

Unit 4Part BText 1Being a Police Officer Is a Stressful JobInterviewer: Welcome to our program, Sam.Sam: Thank you.Interviewer: Sam, how long have you been a police officer?Sam: I've been a police officer for thirty years.Interviewer: Thirty years. And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.Sam: Y eah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job.Would you agree?Sam: Y es, it's definitely a stressful job. B ut i t depends on your assi gnment.Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assi gnment you can have?Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, apatrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be avery low-stress situation.Interviewer: Y es, it is a very low-stress situation.Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers i nj ured duri ng a routi ne stop.Interviewer: Really?Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, peoplejump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the moststressful time.Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.Sam: All right.Questions:1. What's the relationship between the two speakers?2. What does Sam mainly talk about?3. What do you know about Sam?Text 2Stress ReducersInterviewer: Sam, you've talked about the police officers' stressful time. Now let's move on to the next topic. So far as I know, there's a connection between stress and illness. Do youthink that there's a higher percentage of illness among police officers than in thegeneral population? I mean, do they get more colds or anything? Is this really true?Sam: Y es, it is, and the stress level not only manifests itself in daily health -- whether or not you've feeling well on any given day. It also manifests itself in things like ulcers,heart disease -- police officers tend to have a higher rate of heart disease and ulcersthan people in other professions.Interviewer: Really? That's documented?Sam: Y es, it's documented. And also the divorce rate among police officers is much higher. Interviewer: Is there something that the police department does to help you deal with this stress?Sam: Y es, there are several programs that most police departments have in place. One is an exercise program where some part of your day is spent on some type of physicalexercise. They've found that's a great stress reducer. Besides, there's also apsychological program with counseling for officers to help them reduce their stress.And there are several discussion groups as well. They've found that sometimes justsitting around and talking about the stress with other officers helps to reduce it. So,those things are available.Interviewer: And what do you do, personally, to help you deal with the stress of your job, Sam?Sam: Well, during the baseball season, I'm the biggest baseball fanatic, and I will either be reading about baseball, or listening to baseball, or watching baseball. Another thing Itry to do is to get some sort of exercise every day. And then I work hard at keeping upmy personal relationships, especially my relationship with my wife. Fortunately I getalong very well with my wife. When I come back home, I can talk about my day withher, and then just forget about it.Statements:1. The dialogue is mainly about how police officers can deal with stress.2. According to Sam, most police officers enjoy good health.3. According to Sam, the divorce rate among police officers is higher than among people in other jobs.4. Counseling is the most effective program to help police officers relieve stress.5. Sam knows how to reduce his stress.Part CShort Conversations1. M: Y ou look so nervous, Rose. Are you all right?W: Frankly speaking, I'm on pins and needles. I have to give a presentation to a group of important visitors this afternoon.Q: Why does Rose feel nervous?2. M: Y ou look so upset, Sue. What's worrying you?W: My son Jack made me extremely unhappy. He seems to be playing video games all the time. Whenever I talk to him he turns a deaf ear to me.Q: What's the woman's problem?3. W: David, you don't look happy. Anything wrong?M: Well, you know, my mother died three years ago. And since then my father has lived in an apartment on his own and has very few friends.Q: What is David worrying about?4. W: Michael, I don't know what has happened to Mother. Her memory seems to be going. I have to remind her of almost everything.M: Don't worry, Mary. She's just getting old.Q: What do you know about Mary?5. W: I'm worried about sending my son Peter to college. Y ou see, nowadays many college students behave rather strangely. They don't seem to be i nterested i n thei r studi es.M: Just a few. Most students still concentrate on their studies.Q: What can you infer from the man's response?Part DFinding Creative Outlets for V ery Stressful TimesBeautifying your home is a fun and practical pastime that can offer a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

If you don't have good health, you will lose many chances of fulfilling your dream. If you are sick, you couldn't do the job. The boss will fire you. So I suggest that you should not forget the importance of doing excises and sports. Take my case, I play Ping-pong two hours every morning, I feel energetic for the whole day.3.Be aware of mental healthAbstract with the development and changes of the modern society, the future society put forward higher requirements for the quality of people, requiring every person to have the spirit of facing the reality, not being afraid of difficulties having the pioneering spirit, with the ability to co-operation, communication and the innovative spirit.

So we can say, kindergarten education is the foundation of the quality education of our people, it is not only the preparation for the primary stage of learning and living, more importantly, the preparation for their lifelong development and health psychology. Therefore, we should be aware of mental healthyUnit3 1、My success strategiesIn order to accomplish my goal for sucess, I have several ways.One of them, is that I work very hard and focus. I don't let myself to wander off away, and I will complete very fast. This strategy works very well.The other, is that I get help from others. Others may know information that I don't know, and it will be easier to accomplish sucess.The third, is that I go on the computer and find out the best way to do each task swiftly and quickly.2.I am a slow walker , but I never walk backwardOn the way to our success , I am a slow walker compared with other people .

For example , as the Sports Meeting is drawing near , athletes work harder in order to bring forth their best performance . Everyday ,the excellent athletes gathered and take special training ,but they never complain, because they understand the real meaning of the proverb opportunities favor the prepared mind .Unit4 1.My favorite works in American literatureOne of my favorite works in American literature was the Harry Potter written by J.K. Rowling. Through reading it, I know that she had the idea about Harry Potter when she was on train :“Harry just walked into my head” she said later. She started writing the first edition of Harry Potter the next day.As we all know, Harry Potter is a magical school student who wears glasses and has no parents. He is very brave and known by everyone because he is the only person who will not die by evil. When read the book my first time, I feel very exciting and interesting. Now there are seven edition of Harry Potter published and they are very popular with young students. Therefore I think the Harry Potter can stand for the work in American literature.2.The birth of the US as a nationIn the 18th century, England established the 13 colonies in the Atlantic coast. The economy of colonies developed rapidly. To increase the fiscal revenue, the British government increased the colonial tax and squeeze people in colonies. It brought about the independence War of America . The United States was born3.A national symbol of ChinaIn China, I think Dragon is the symbol o f the Chinese nation, every Chinese is “the inheritor of dragon”, the dragon became a kind of culture. At the bottom of Chinese heart, dragon occupies the incommutable position. It is said that adoration of the nature and the find wish that produce good. People constructed a power animal that had ability to rain and raise with the devil, which was the dragon.In the feudal age, the dragon symbolized the royal power, it was inviolable. Today, the dragon even becomes a kind of mascot, it belongs to the common people. In this new age, dragon is given the new life. It won’t only be the symbol of China but also the Chinese spirit and it will represent the Chinese nation as well.新视野大学英语4（听说教程）Unit1 1、The trouble of fameIt seems to be a common sense that everyone wants fame for it can distinguish ourselves and enhance our social status .However few people ever pondered on the gloomy side of fame .When we own the fame we strived for trouble ensues underhandedly. At first ,we enjoy standing in the limelight .Y et,as time rolls by ,we're getting bored by the repeating exposure of our pirvate life and frustrated by the negative news spreaded by our rivals on us .Then we start getting tired of it and deeming fame as a doomed bless .We want to get away from fame .We're willing waive anything in order to get rid of it .Everything comes with a price .Y ou get something and you lose something .2、The meaning of a good nameNames are symbols that attempt to differentiate between different individuals. They take on different interpretations among different people. One person, for example, will think of something completely different when they hear a specific name. Etymology is the study of words. This includes the interpretations and their origins.A name is very personal thing. It is a powerful piece of who we are. A name is applied to us, identifies us, it is the sound we respond to. Our name is an invocation of who we are; repeated it becomes a chant -- a seductive siren call from a lover; an angry reproach from a parent. It is personal, it is fundamental: it is not all of who we are and yet we are someone quite different when it changes.3、The ideas people have about meEveryone to some of your idea, need to contact with you, Only in these way, can they have more accurate understanding about you. Actually, I have no idea what people think of me right now. I have no idea what my mom think of me, I have no idea what my teacher think of me, also, I have no idea what my roommate think of me.Once upon a time, my friends say that I'm a elusive person, sometimes I will be good ,I will do something you want for you, that time , you will think I’m your best friend in the world. But sometimes I would not pay attention to you, no matter what you are talking about or what you are suffering.Well, Indeed, I don't like this view, because a lot of things I can only to bear by myself, a lot of people can’t understand something what I have done. They need thereason I give. Because of this, they can judge me only according to their own ideas and what they have seen or what they have heard.Unit2 1、An orginal person in my life(我生活中具有创造性的人)Xiaolin of my good friends is a very creative person, he is very clever, often produce small hand-it-yourself, transform the old stuff, turning waste into treasure. When we usually do not do the math, ask him, he always used a simple method to make. Do question is his own creation, we all admire him.He also participated in the technology race, and get good results2、why being original is importantIf the technology innovation is a river, then being original innovation is the source of the river; If the source is a surge of congested the constantly, so the river living water will be a long standing of power.Being original innovation is to promote the country's science and technology development of catalysts, science and technology and continuous development of source of power. In the current WTO background, the development of economic globalization trend and the rapid development of science and technology, will be the leading edge of the competition in overall national pushed area, which determines the innovation is the key of the innovation system integration and integration. Therefore, we must take effective measures to further deepen the reform of the science and technology system, establish and improve the national innovation system, create innovative environment, effectively solve China's science and technology innovation ability is not now. At present, our country is on the reform of the system of science of being original innovation is a great blessing of life, we believe, with the technology further deepen the reform of Chinese scientists should have also will have on the world science and technology have great influence on the mainstream of the innovation achievements are now to come out.如果把科技创新比做一条河，那么原始性创新就是这条河的源头；如果源头是一泓涌动不息的活水，那么这条河将具源远流长之势。
