The topic I'd like to deal with this morning is what makes a good language learner. This is an eternal problem, and one to which there's no real solution. I would however like you to think about the situation of learners outside the classroom because in many ways it would be true to say that there are more people in the world who speak a foreign language or a second language who didn't learn it in a classroom than there are who did and I think this awareness of the success of out-of-classroom learning provides us with a key to how in-classroom learning can be successful.
Part I Getting ready
B.
1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and they don't care how well you speak it. They are not upset when you make mistakes. I think in order to learn, you mustn't be afraid of making mistakes. 2. I'm a very shy person and it's not easy for me to talk to strangers. But you have to force yourself to talk to people. That's what I did and it really helped me. 3. I think the best language learners are people with a sense of humor. Try to laugh at your own mistakes and don't take yourself too seriously. You'll find that other people will be sympathetic when you make mistakes. 4. I took two courses in business studies. I read, studied, listened to lectures and took notes in English. It was a very good experience for me because I didn't have time to think about the language. I recommend forgetting about the grammar and thinking about the meaning instead. 5. In my experience, learning a foreign language always involves a lot of time, a lot of boring work and lots of problems! In short, if you want to learn another language you have to work hard. 6. Try to read as much as you can. I think that's the best way to improve your English and to learn more new words. I always try to read something in English every day.

It has made Bill Gate one of the richest men in the world. William Gates the 3rd was born in 1955, in a western city of Seattle, Washington. He became interested in computers when he was 13 years old. When most young boys his age were playing baseball or football, young Bill Gates was learning to write computer programs. These programs tell computers how to perform useful tasks. Bill Gate attended Harvard University after high school. At Harvard, he began developing the computer language called Basic. He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gate returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoft developed computer software for established American companies, like General Electric and Citibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company knownas IBM. In 1981,IBM began selling a personal computer that used Microsoft products as part of its operating system. By then, Microsoft had 129 workers. Today IBM still uses Microsoft's computer operating system. So do many other computer companies. One of the most famous Microsoft products is a program called Windows. Windows makes it much easier to use a computer. Company officials say Microsoft has sold about 40 000 000 copies of the Windows program around the world. Microsoft does thousands of millions of dollars in business each year. It now has more than 16 000 workers in more than 48 countries. Microsoft today produces computer programs in 30 languages and sells them in more than 100 countries.Part II Bill Gate s’ new rulesIf the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about re-engineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly business itself will be transacted. About how information access will alter the life-style of consumers and their expectations of business. Quality improvements and business-process improvements will occur far faster. When the increase in velocity is great enough, the very nature of business changes. To function in the digital age, we have developed a new digital infrastructure. It's like the human nervous system. Companies need to have that same kind of nervous system — the ability to run smoothly and efficiently, to respond quickly to emergencies and opportunities to quickly get valuable information to the people in the company who need it, the ability to quickly make decisions and interact with customers. The successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work. To make digital information flow an intrinsic part of your company, here are 12 key steps.1. Insist that communication flow through e-mail.2. Study sales data online to share insights easily.3. Shift knowledge workers into high-level thinking.4. Use digital tools to create virtual teams.5. Convert every paper process to a digital process.6. Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs.7. Create a digital feedback loop.8. Use digital systems to route customer complaints immediately.9. Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries.10. Transform every business process into just-in-time delivery.11. Use digital delivery to eliminate the middle man.12. Use digital tools to help customers solve problems for themselves.As I said in The Road Ahead, we always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction. You know you have built an excellent digital nervous system when information flows throughyour organization as quickly and naturally as thought in a human being and when you can use technology to marshal and coordinate teams of people as quickly as you can focus an individual on an issue. It's business at the speed of thought.Part III Great business deals1.In the … er … late 1920s, early 1930s, there was a … a young Greek businessman who …er … made quite a lot of money … er … by importing tobacco into Argentina. Um … he then moved up to North America … er … this was in about … er … 1933, when of course the world was in the middle of a … a trade slump. Er … he … er … decided he wanted to get into shipping, and to get into shipping he needed ships so he … he started looking around for some ships to buy with his tobacco fortune and he found ten vessels … er …which belonged to the Canadian National Steamship Company … er … the problem being that they were frozen into the ice in the St Lawrence River in Canada. They'd been rusting away there for two years and were now completely filled up with snow and ice.Er … in fact the story goes that when he went aboard to … er … inspect one of the ships, he fell into a snowdr ift and … er … ended up on the deck below. Well, the ships had cost $2 million to build … er … about ten years before, and the owners were prepared to let them go just for a … a scrap price of … er … $30 000 each. He offered $20,000 and the owners accepted.He left them there, stuck in the ice, there was nothing more he could do. Er … but a few years later, the … the world depression … er … came to an end and … er … world war seemed to be looming in Europe and, of course, that led in its turn to a … bit of a shipping boom. So the young man, there he was with his ships and … er … he became one of the richest men in the world. His name was … Aristotle Onassis.2.Once upon a time there was an enterprising Scottish actor, called Arthur Furguson, whodiscovered that he could make a very good living selling things that didn't actually belong to him, in other words he was a con man. He first got the idea when he was sitting in the middle of Trafalgar Square (in London that is). Um … this was in 1923, and he saw a n American tourist admiring the stone lions and the fountains and Nelson's Column. He introduced himself as the "official guide" to the Square and started to explain the history of the place. And while he was doing this he also slipped in a little mention that as Britain was heavily in debt, the British government was looking for the right kind of person to buy the Square. He said that he was the official government salesman and that the asking price was around ￡6 000. The American said that this was a good price and offered to pay by cheque right away, so Mr. Furguson went off to okay this with his superiors — in other words he went off for an hour and a half and kept the American waiting. Well, he then came back and said, yes, they were willing to sell to the American at that price. The American wrote a check and Furguson gave him a receipt and the address of a company who would dismantle the Square and get it ready for shipping it to the States. Then he went off to cash the check.Soon after that he sold Big Ben for ￡1 000 and took a down payment on Buckingham Palace of ￡2 000. Two years later he went to the United States and leased the White House to a Texas cattleman for 99 years for $100 000 per annum. Later he arranged tosell the Statue of Liberty to an Australian for $100 000, but unfortunately Furguson allowed the buyer to take a photograph of him and the Australian, feeling slightly suspicious, showed the photograph to the police. Furguson was identified and sent to prison for fraud for five years. When he came out he retired to California, where he lived in luxury until he died in 1938.Part IV More about the topic: alt DisneyPresenter:Walt Disney is well known as the creator of Mickey Mouse and the inventor of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but his creations are better knownthan his life. Peter Spencer is the author of a new book about Disney. Whatwas Walt Disney's background?Peter:Walter Elias Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago but actually he was brought up in a small town in the Mid-West near Kansas City, Missouri, whichincidentally was later used as the model for Main Street U.S.A. inDisneyland. Um ... he first studies cartooning, you know, by doing acorrespondence course. During the First World War he worked as a … adriver for the American Red Cross but after the war he returned to KansasCity where he met a guy called Ub Iwerks. Now they … er … started to worktogether on a series of experimental-type films ... um … and after a whilethey set off to California to join Walt's elder brother Roy who was livingthere in Los Angeles.Presenter:When did Mickey Mouse first appear?Peter:Ah, well, Disney and Iwerks first invented a character called Oswald the Rabbit but then in 1928 a new character was born: cheerful, sometimesrather naughty, energetic mouse with large funny ears. Yes, it was Mickeyand he appeared for the first time in the first talking cartoon film, calledSteamboat Willie. Er … not many people know this but Walt Disney actuallyprovided the voice for Mickey. By the way, he was almost called "MortimerMouse", which doesn't have the same kind of ring to it, or does it? Well,Roy and Walt gathered a team of artists … er … illustrators together … um …by this time Ub Iwerks had left them and started his own company, this wasin 1930, and Disney Studios, as they called themselves, starting … started toproduce the famous short cartoons with … starring Mickey and Minnie andDonald Duck and Pluto and Goofy. Er … Roy was the business manager anddriving force behind th e company … er … making it very profitable and Waltwas more the … er … imaginative, creative part of the partnership. Presenter:What kind of man was Walt Disney?Peter:Well, according to the artists who worked for him Walt actually couldn't draw ve ry well … er … most of the characters were actually drawn byIwerks, but apparently he was an amazing storyteller. He would act out thestories of films doing all the voices and actions to show the illustrators whathe wanted them to do and then they had to go off and try to recreate hisvisualizations.Presenter:The most famous cartoon of all was Snow White — and the best I still think.Peter:Mm, yeah, it was the first feature-length cartoon and it was released in …er … 1935. Now, Snow White and th e Seven Dwarfs required two milliondrawings and took three years' work to make. Um … obviously it was … er …very expensive, particularly for those times. By the way, the British filmcensor gave it an Adult certificate because he thought that it would be toofrightening for little children to see on their own. Er … that was followed byPinocchio and Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941. And … er … the DisneyStudios also started making … um … some rather low-budget live actionfeature films for children … er … something which the other studios didn'tdare risk doing. Er … some of his films mixed live action with cartoons —er … I'm thinking about Mary Poppins, which I think we've probably allseen, made in 1964, where cartoon characters and … and the real life actorsappeared together on screen and talked and danced and sang together.Disney was one of the first to see the potential of television, all the otherstudios were afraid of this medium. Um … so he started to produce filmsdirectly for television and … and now of course there's a Disney Channelshowing only Disney films.Presenter:And then he dreamt up Disneyland, didn't he?Peter:Ah, "dreamt" is the right word. Disneyland was a creation of the land of his dreams: safe, happy, clean, fairy-tale world with its own Magic Kingdom.The original Disneyland was opened in Los Angeles in 1955 and it cost $17million. Walt died in 1966 but he was already working on plans for theDisney World in Orlando, Florida, which opened in 1971, and the EPCOTCenter near Walt Disney World —that's the "Experimental PrototypeCommunity Of Tomorrow", by the way. And there's also a … a TokyoDisneyland, which was opened in … um … 1983.Presenter:And … and now there's even an Euro Disneyland near Paris, I think.Peter:Yes, that's right. Um … and the Disney Studios still continue to produce films in the … the house style, the Walt Disney style and presumably italways will. Disney's films appealed … um … and still do appeal to childrenof all ages, but people often criticize them for their lack of taste and theysay they're vulgar, but Disney said, "I've never called this art. It's showbusiness and I'm a showman." Well, can you imagine a world withoutMickey Mouse?Presenter:Peter Spencer, thank you.Part V Do you know…?1. The best real estate deal in historyEven in the days when America was known as the New World, it was a country with a reputation for its spirit of enterprise and the ability of its people to make a good deal. When the settlers started negotiating, the natives hardly knew what had hit them — and in the summer of 1626, probably the most spectacular real estate coup in history took place. Governor Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India Company had the job of buying Manhattan Island from the Indians. After some haggling with Chief Manhasset, the price was agreed at 24 dollars' worth of kettles, axes and cloth. Today, $24 would not buy one square foot of office space in New York City, and an office block in central Manhattan changes hands for around $80 million. Even allowing for inflation, Minuit got himself a real bargain.2. Not again, Josephine! You would think that the Manhattan deal would remain a one-off for ever. But less than two centuries later the loser was Napoleon, Emperor of France and (in his early years, at least) a brilliant military tactician.In 1803, Napoleon had his mind on European affairs (in particular, an invasion of Britain), so he decided to dispense with France's American possessions. He sold the entire Mississippi valley, an area of 828 000 square miles extending from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico and westwards to the Rockies, for just over 27 million dollars. Through this deal, known as the Louisiana purchase, President Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States for only around 5 cents per acre.3. Nice ice at a reasonable price Napoleon did just manage to reach Moscow in his ill-fated invasion of 1812 — but it would seem that news of his poor American deal did not.For, astonishingly, the Russians went on to become the third victims of major land deals with America. On March 30th 1867, the U.S. Secretary of State, William Seward, bought Alaska from Tsar Alexander II for a mere $7.2 million —thereby acquiring another 586 000 square miles of territory for less than 2 cents per acre. The Tsar presumably thought that this remote, frozen and virtually uninhabited piece of land had nothing at all to commend it — and at first, the American people agreed with him, for Alaska was known as "Seward's folly" and "Seward's ice box" for years. In 1896, however, gold was struck at Klondike in the Yukon, and since then, over 750 million dollars' worth has been mined. In 1968, black gold was discovered —and an estimated 100 billion tons of coal are also lying underground, just waiting to be dug up.。

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became b itter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principa l of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to Al l”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister publis hed the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-on e years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Ed ucation at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Cole man published the song, without the sisters‟ permission. He added a second part, which i s the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made t he song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday t o Yo u” had altogether replaced the sisters‟ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 P atty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey w ere the real owners of the song.1. teacher at a kindergarten2. Good Morning to All3. Happy Birthday to You4. Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher‟s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but la ter turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other P atty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kinderg arten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morn ing to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens .Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters‟ per mission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birt hday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sist ers‟first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: KaraokeDalin: It‟s Mike‟s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar?

In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together. We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups?

F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool m odern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for trans mitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines w ith this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a tel ephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invente d the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexand er Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp” for speech to be transmitte d over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degr ees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what‟s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King . That‟s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really l oved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think o f the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night. Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn‟t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?UNIT2II. Listening Skills1.

The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in bloo d.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several year s of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director s aid, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk o nto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb , smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my lo ve.‟” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and ov er again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, lo oked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my lo ve.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You da mned fool!” he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled,“What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose !”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon W edding”.It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movi e shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of t he movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, wh o lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration ca mps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is a bout three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who sen d them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers.

Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So… what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as goo d as theprevious ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-t he-artspecial effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes. Laura: You‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they create d somany fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast.

But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesti ng at all.A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She‟s adorable!V. Let‟s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caug ht up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides t he viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the a udience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tensi on around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hi tchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “An d what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was som etimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he wa s afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspape r that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI.

RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard.Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seve n years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the b ooks would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker.

Sometimes, however, you are not able to get through and the reason is given by a recorded message.*dial a telephone number: 拨打一个电话号码*a recorded message: 电话录音A. You are going to hear some recordings that the telephone company uses to tell you why your call did not go through. Listen carefully and write down all the telephone numbers you hear and the reasons why the calls did not go through.Sometimes even when a telephone call goes through, the caller is still unable to speak to the person being called. Instead, the call might be answered by a machine. An answering machine answers calls with a tape recording, and many answering machines also allow the caller to record a message. It’s more efficient to leave your name and telephone number than to waste your time calling again and again.*a tape recording: 主人预录在电话答录机上的话*to record a message: 客人在电话答录机上留言B. . You are going to hear several calls that are answered by machines. Listen to the recorded messages. Write down the reasons why each call is being answered by a machine instead of a person and the actions you decide to take. Write “W” for “wait on the line”, “L” for “leave a message”, and “C” for “call back later”.People usually receive telephone calls unexpectedly. Sometimes they have to make a note of the information contained in the call — particularly when the call is for someone else. Message taking is one of the most useful skills in dealing with telephone calls. A great deal of practice is needed in this respect.*message taking: 信息记录C1. You are going to hear some recorded phone calls. While listening for the first time, add more key words if you can in the left-hand column. After the second listening,complete the messages in the right-hand column with the help of the notes.。

"the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit"2. columnist, column3. Walt Disney, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.4. the Academy offices1 Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit", but the term never stuck.2. No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with fivespokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam container slightly larger than a shoebox.Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybepeople stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth."Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionEvery January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking. The annual presentation of the Oscars has become the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' most famous activity. The Oscar Statuette is a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listening to some sentences and write them down.

The Security Council gave Iraq this last opportunity to disarm or face serious consequences, a euphemism* for possible war. The United States says it will make sure Iraq disarms, one way or another.But Mr. Blix* emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the course of events in the region. He says they will visit suspected sites, conduct interviews with Iraqi scientists, ferret* out information and report back to the Security Council for its members to decide.As for US and British intelligence reports, which the Bush administration says proves that Iraq has banned weapons, Mr. Blix says he is not going intoIraq with pre-conceived ideas of what is there.The next test for Iraq will be December 8th, the deadline for Iraq to present a full accounting of its weapons programs. If Iraq presents, in effect, a blank sheet, Mr. Blix says, he would expect the United States to put its evidence on the table, so it can be verified.Iraq has persistently maintained it does not have the banned weapons.

It taught the people who lived along its banks the noble art of "teamwork". They depended upon each other to build their irrigation trenches and keep their dikes in repair. In this way they learned how to get along with their neighbors and their mutual-benefit-association quite easily developed into an organized state.Then one man grew more powerful than most of his neighbors and he became the leader of the community and their commander-in-chief when the envious neighbors of western Asia invaded the prosperous valley. In due course of time he became their King and ruled all the land from the Mediterranean to the mountains of the west.But these political adventures of the old pharaohs* (the word meant "the Man who lived in the Big House") rarely interested the patient and toiling peasant of the grain fields. Provided he was not obliged to pay more taxes to his King than he thought lust, he accepted the rule of pharaoh as accepted the rule of Mighty Osiris *.It was different however when a foreign invader came and robbed him of his possessions.After twenty centuries of independent life, a savage Arab tribe of shepherds, called the Hyksos, attacked Egypt and for five hundred years they were the masters of the valley of the Nile. They were highly unpopular and great hate was also felt for the Hebrews who came to the land of Goshen* to find a shelter after their long wandering through the desert and who helped the foreign usurper* by acting as his tax-gatherers and his civil servants.But shortly after the year 1700 B.C., the people of Thebes began a revolution and after a long struggle the Hyksos were driven out of the country and Egypt was free once more.A thousand years later, when Assyria* conquered all of western Asia, Egypt became part of the empire of Sardanapalus*. In the seventh century B.C., it became once more an independent stateExercise A Pre-listening Question,It is the Great Pyramid of Giza probably. The great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20-year period. The site was first prepared, and blocks of stone were transported and placed. An outer casing (which disappeared over the years) was then used to smooth the surface. Although it is not known how the blocks were put in place, several theories have been proposed. One theory involves the construction of a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the construction proceeded. This ramp, coated with mud and water, eased the displacement of theblocks which were pushed (or pulled) into place. A second theory suggests that the blocks were placed using long levers with a short angled foot.1.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am ... ' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people. Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy, sexually explicit stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 8. BAmerican IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the name "Indians" by the explorer Christopher Columbus. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations, or on tribal lands. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as longas other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.C2.

It has made Bill Gate one of the richest men in the world. William Gates the 3rd was born in 1955, in a western city of Seattle, Washington. He became interested in computers when he was 13 years old. When most young boys his age were playing baseball or football, young Bill Gates was learning to write computer programs. These programs tell computers how to perform useful tasks. Bill Gate attended Harvard University after high school. At Harvard, he began developing the computer language called Basic. He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gate returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoftdeveloped computer software for established American companies, like General Electric and Citibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company known as IBM. In 1981,IBM began selling a personal computer that used Microsoft products as part of its operating system. By then, Microsoft had 129 workers. Today IBM still uses Microsoft's computer operating system. So do many other computer companies. One of the most famous Microsoft products is a program called Windows. Windows makes it much easier to use a computer. Company officials say Microsoft has sold about 40 000 000 copies of the Windows program around the world. Microsoft does thousands of millions of dollars in business each year. It now has more than 16 000 workers in more than 48 countries. Microsoft today produces computer programs in 30 languages and sells them in more than 100 countries.Part II Bill Gate s’ new rulesIf the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about re-engineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly business itself will be transacted. About how information access will alter the life-style of consumers and their expectations of business. Quality improvements and business-process improvements will occur far faster. When the increase in velocity is great enough, the very nature of business changes.To function in the digital age, we have developed a new digital infrastructure. It's like the human nervous system. Companies need to have that same kind of nervous system — the ability to run smoothly and efficiently, to respond quickly to emergencies and opportunities to quickly get valuable information to the people in the company who need it, the ability to quickly make decisions and interact with customers.The successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work. To make digital information flow an intrinsic part of your company, here are 12 key steps.1. Insist that communication flow through e-mail.2. Study sales data online to share insights easily.3. Shift knowledge workers into high-level thinking.4. Use digital tools to create virtual teams.5. Convert every paper process to a digital process.6. Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs.7. Create a digital feedback loop.8. Use digital systems to route customer complaints immediately.9. Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries.10. Transform every business process into just-in-time delivery.11. Use digital delivery to eliminate the middle man.12. Use digital tools to help customers solve problems for themselves.As I said in The Road Ahead, we always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.You know you have built an excellent digital nervous system when information flows through your organization as quickly and naturally as thought in a human being and when you can use technology to marshal and coordinate teams of people as quickly as you can focus an individual on an issue. It's business at the speed of thought. Part III Great business deals1.In the … er … late 1920s, early 1930s, there was a … a young Greek businessman who …er … made quite a lot of money … er … by importing tobacco into Argentina. Um … he then moved up to North America … er … this was in about … er … 1933, when of course the world was in the middle of a … a trade slump. Er … he … er … decided he wanted to get into shipping, and to get into shipping he needed ships so he … he started looking around for some ships to buy with his tobacco fortune and he found ten vessels … er …which belonged to the Canadian National Steamship Company … er … the problem bei ng that they were frozen into the ice in the St Lawrence River in Canada. They'd been rusting away there for two years and were now completely filled up with snow and ice.Er … in fact the story goes that when he went aboard to … er … inspect one of the sh ips, he fell into a snowdrift and … er … ended up on the deck below. Well, the ships had cost $2 million to build … er … about ten years before, and the owners were prepared to let them go just for a … a scrap price of … er … $30 000 each. He offered $20,000 and the owners accepted.He left them there, stuck in the ice, there was nothing more he could do. Er … but a few years later, the … the world depression … er … came to an end and … er … world war seemed to be looming in Europe and, of course, that led in its turn to a … bit of a shipping boom. So the young man, there he was with his ships and … er … he became one of the richest men in the world. His name was … Aristotle Onassis.2.Once upon a time there was an enterprising Scottish actor, called Arthur Furguson, whodiscovered that he could make a very good living selling things that didn't actually belong to him, in other words he was a con man. He first got the idea when he was sitting in the middle of Trafalgar Square (in London that is). Um … this was in 1923, and he saw an American tourist admiring the stone lions and the fountains and Nelson's Column. He introduced himself as the "official guide" to the Square and started to explain the history of the place. And while he was doing this he also slipped in a little mention that as Britain was heavily in debt, the British government was looking for the right kind of person to buy the Square. He said that he was the official government salesman and that the asking price was around ￡6 000. The American said that this was a good price and offered to pay by cheque right away, so Mr. Furguson went off to okay this with his superiors — in other words he went off for an hour and a half and kept the American waiting. Well, he then came back and said, yes, they were willing to sell to the American at that price. The American wrote a check and Furguson gave him a receipt and the address of a company who would dismantle the Square and get it ready for shipping it to the States. Then he went off to cash the check.Soon after that he sold Big Ben for ￡1 000 and took a down payment on Buckingham Palace of ￡2 000. Two years later he went to the United States and leased the White House to a Texas cattleman for 99 years for $100 000 per annum. Later he arranged to sell the Statue of Liberty to an Australian for $100 000, but unfortunately Furguson allowed the buyer to take a photograph of him and the Australian, feeling slightly suspicious, showed the photograph to the police. Furguson was identified and sent to prison for fraud for five years. When he came out he retired to California, where he livedin luxury until he died in 1938.Part IV More about the topic: alt DisneyPresenter:Walt Disney is well known as the creator of Mickey Mouse and the inventor of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but his creationsare better known than his life. Peter Spencer is the author of anew book about Disney. What was Walt Disney's background Peter:Walter Elias Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago but actually he was brought up in a small town in the Mid-West near Kansas City,Missouri, which incidentally was later used as the model for MainStreet U.S.A. in Disneyland. Um ... he first studies cartooning, youknow, by doing a correspondence course. During the First WorldWar he worked as a … a driver for the American Red Cross butafter the war he returned to Kansas City where he met a guycalled Ub Iwerks. Now they … er … started to work together on aseries of experimental-type films ... um … and after a while theyset off to California to join Walt's elder brother Roy who was livingthere in Los Angeles.Presenter:When did Mickey Mouse first appear?Peter:Ah, well, Disney and Iwerks first invented a character calledOswald the Rabbit but then in 1928 a new character was born:cheerful, sometimes rather naughty, energetic mouse with largefunny ears. Yes, it was Mickey and he appeared for the first timein the first talking cartoon film, called Steamboat Willie. Er … notmany people know this but Walt Disney actually provided thevoice for Mickey. By the way, he was almost called "MortimerMouse", which doesn't have the same kind of ring to it, or does itWell, Roy and Walt gathered a team of artists … er … illustratorstogether … um … by this time Ub Iwerks had left them an d startedhis own company, this was in 1930, and Disney Studios, as theycalled themselves, starting … started to produce the famous shortcartoons with … starring Mickey and Minnie and Donald Duck andPluto and Goofy. Er … Roy was the business manager and drivingforce behind the company … er … making it very profitable andWalt was more the … er … imaginative, creative part of thepartnership.Presenter:What kind of man was Walt DisneyPeter:Well, according to the artists who worked for him Walt actually couldn't draw very well … er … most of the characters wereactually drawn by Iwerks, but apparently he was an amazingstoryteller. He would act out the stories of films doing all thevoices and actions to show the illustrators what he wanted themto do and then they had to go off and try to recreate hisvisualizations.Presenter:The most famous cartoon of all was Snow White — and the best I still think.Peter:Mm, yeah, it was the first feature-length cartoon and it was released in … er … 1935. Now, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfsrequired two million drawings and took three years' work tomake. Um … obviously it was … er … very expensive, particularlyfor those times. By the way, the British film censor gave it anAdult certificate because he thought that it would be toofrightening for little children to see on their own. Er … that wasfollowed by Pinocchio and Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941.And … er … the Disney Studios also started making … um … somerather low-budget live action feature fi lms for children … er …something which the other studios didn't dare risk doing. Er …some of his films mixed live action with cartoons —er … I'mthinking about Mary Poppins, which I think we've probably allseen, made in 1964, where cartoon characters a nd … and the reallife actors appeared together on screen and talked and dancedand sang together. Disney was one of the first to see the potentialof television, all the other studios were afraid of this medium.Um … so he started to produce films directly for television and …and now of course there's a Disney Channel showing only Disneyfilms.Presenter:And then he dreamt up Disneyland, didn't hePeter:Ah, "dreamt" is the right word. Disneyland was a creation of the land of his dreams: safe, happy, clean, fairy-tale world with itsown Magic Kingdom. The original Disneyland was opened in LosAngeles in 1955 and it cost $17 million. Walt died in 1966 but hewas already working on plans for the Disney World in Orlando,Florida, which opened in 1971, and the EPCOT Center near WaltDisney World — that's the "Experimental Prototype CommunityOf Tomorrow", by the way. And there's also a … a TokyoDisneyland, which was opened in … um … 1983.Presenter:And … and now there's even an Euro Disneyland near Pa ris, I think.Peter:Yes, that's right. Um … and the Disney Studios still continue to produce films in the … the house style, the Walt Disney style andpresumably it always will. Disney's films appealed … um … and stilldo appeal to children of all ages, but people often criticize themfor their lack of taste and they say they're vulgar, but Disney said,"I've never called this art. It's show business and I'm a showman."Well, can you imagine a world without Mickey Mouse? Presenter:Peter Spencer, thank you.Part V Do you know…1. The best real estate deal in historyEven in the days when America was known as the New World, it was a country with a reputation for its spirit of enterprise and the ability of its people to make a good deal.When the settlers started negotiating, the natives hardly knew what had hit them — and in the summer of 1626, probably the most spectacular real estate coup in history took place. Governor Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India Company had the job of buying Manhattan Island from the Indians.After some haggling with Chief Manhasset, the price was agreed at 24 dollars' worth of kettles, axes and cloth.Today, $24 would not buy one square foot of office space in New York City, and an office block in central Manhattan changes hands for around $80 million. Even allowing for inflation, Minuit got himself a real bargain.2. Not again, Josephine!You would think that the Manhattan deal would remain a one-off for ever. But less than two centuries later the loser was Napoleon, Emperor of France and (in his early years, at least) a brilliant military tactician.In 1803, Napoleon had his mind on European affairs (in particular, an invasion of Britain), so he decided to dispense with France's American possessions.He sold the entire Mississippi valley, an area of 828 000 square miles extending from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico and westwards to the Rockies, for just over 27 million dollars. Through this deal, known as the Louisiana purchase, President Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States for only around 5 cents per acre.3. Nice ice at a reasonable priceNapoleon did just manage to reach Moscow in his ill-fated invasion of 1812 — but it would seem that news of his poor American deal did not.For, astonishingly, the Russians went on to become the third victims of major land deals with America.On March 30th 1867, the U.S. Secretary of State, William Seward, bought Alaska from Tsar Alexander II for a mere $7.2 million —thereby acquiring another 586 000 square miles of territory for less than 2 cents per acre.The Tsar presumably thought that this remote, frozen and virtually uninhabited piece of land had nothing at all to commend it — and at first, the American people agreed with him, for Alaska was known as "Seward's folly" and "Seward's ice box" for years.In 1896, however, gold was struck at Klondike in the Yukon, and since then, over 750 million dollars' worth has been mined.In 1968, black gold was discovered —and an estimated 100 billion tons of coal are also lying underground, just waiting to be dug up.。

And though buying with a mouse is still tiny compared to shopping with your feet online retailing is more popular than ever.Christmas shopping in the street is great sometimes. But when you’ve just got to get a bunch of shopping done and you want to have something to send to a third-party location, it’s much better online.In the U.S., online shopping is predicted to be 30% ahead of last December, while mails can expect less than a 6% increase in sales.

Now listen to an interview discussing English and American good customer services.Part ⅤTapescript:“Everybody loves a bargain,”this is a common American saying. A bargain is something you buy for less than its true value. It is something you might not buy if it costs more. One person’s useless ugly object can be another person’s bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a “for sale” sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you think are extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked ＄10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusetts. He paid $125 for what everyonethought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachustetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jaudere learnt the war club was valued at about $150000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston, Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1.Which of the following is a common American saying2.What can be sold at a yard sale3.Why do people go to a yard sale4.When was the old wooden club stolen5.What was the real value of the club6.Why was the club at a great value2Hotel or B&BPart ⅠGetting ready1.English breakfast is hot food: fried egg, fired bacon, porridge, etc.2.Continental breakfast consists of coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey—nothing cooked.3.Half-board includes dinner, bed and breakfast.4.Full-board is the room plus all meals.5.V AT stands for Value Added Tax.Part ⅡA touch of home1.

Now we operate in more than 100 other countries.Junior Achievement is the world’s oldest, largest, and fastest growing economic educational organization. It began in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The group’s first program was for high school students after school hours. Its goal was to show young people how businesses are organized and operated. The students learned by forming their own companies. Local business people advised them.First, the students developed a product. Then they sold shares in their company. They used this money to buy the materials needed to make the product. They produced the product and sold it. Finally they returned the profits to the people who owned shares in the company. The Junior Achievement “Company Program” was very successful. It continues to teach young people about American business by helping the operate their own companies.In 1974, Junior Achievement began teaching students in their classrooms aboutbusiness. Today, there are programs for students of all ages from 5 to 18. More than 2700000 American students are involves in Junior Achievement. They are taught by more than 85000 business advisors who are not paid.Junior Achievement has programs for young school children ages 5 through 11. V olunteer business advisors teach the main rules of successful businesses. They teach how businesses are organized. They teach how products are made and sold. They also teach about the American economy, the system of money, industry and trade. And they teach students how the economy affects their families and their communities.Junior Achievement has programs for middle school students ages 12 to 14. A volunteer business expert teaches the students once a week. One program is called “Project Business”. It is about economic theories. Students learn about supply and demand. They learn about corporations. And they learn about world trade.Another Junior Achievement program for 12 to 14-year-old students is called “the Economics of Staying in School”. It is for students who may be thinking about leaving before completing high school. These students learn the importance of continuing their education. First they play a game. The game shows what kinds of jobs people have. It shows how much education is needed for each job. And it shows how much money each job pays. The students learn that workers with more education get better jobs and earn more money. Then the students learn how much money they need to buy the things they want. They realize that they probably will not earn enough money if they do not finish high school.7Fame and FortunePart ⅠB. Tapescript:In the past few year, hundreds of magazine and newspaper stories have been written about Bill Gates and his company, the reason the Microsoft Company is extremely successful.

These programs tell computers how to perform useful tasks. Bill Gates attended Harvard University after high school. At Harvard, he began developing the computer language called Basic. He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gates returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoft developed computer software for established American companies, like General Electric and Citibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company known as IBM.

Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.“Hey,” I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher”The teacher made herself known at last.

Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions W: Excuse me, professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie But it’s a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.W: Do you think that I use too few wordsM: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember themM: Now that’s a very good question.W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using “too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.” Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.1.Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary2.What is “active vocabulary” according to the professor3.What do many English learners want to do4.What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language5.What does the professor want to tell Winnie1---5: D D A B DTask 2The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, you can expand your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.1.What is the biggest problem that many English learners have2.Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all3.What is the best way to learn English according to the speaker4.What is the best way to learn English through music5.How can you benefit from watching English movies1---5: B B D A C。

It has made Bill Gate one of the richest men in the world. William Gates the 3rd was born in 1955, in a western city of Seattle, Washington. He became interested in computers when he was 13 years old. When most young boys his age were playing baseball or football, young Bill Gates was learning to write computer programs. These programs tell computers how to perform useful tasks. Bill Gate attended Harvard University after high school. At Harvard, he began developing thecomputer language called Basic. He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gate returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoft developed computer software for established American companies, like General Electric andCitibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company known as IBM. In 1981,IBM began selling a personal computer that used Microsoft products as part of its operating system. By then, Microsoft had 129 workers. Today IBM still uses Microsoft's computer operating system. So do many other computer companies. One of the most famous Microsoft products is a program called Windows. Windows makes it much easier to use a computer. Company officials say Microsoft has sold about 40 000 000 copies of the Windows program around the world. Microsoft does thousands of millions of dollars in business each year. It now has more than 16 000 workers in more than 48 countries. Microsoft today produces computer programs in 30 languages and sells them in more than 100 countries.Part II Bill Gate s’ new rulesIf the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about re-engineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly business itself will be transacted. About how information access will alter the life-style of consumers and their expectations of business. Quality improvements and business-process improvements will occur far faster. When the increase in velocity is great enough, the very nature of business changes.To function in the digital age, we have developed a new digital infrastructure. It's like the human nervous system. Companies need to have that same kind of nervous system —the ability to run smoothly and efficiently, to respond quickly to emergencies and opportunities to quickly get valuable information to the people in the companywho need it, the ability to quickly make decisions and interact with customers. The successful companies of the nextdecade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work. To make digital information flow an intrinsic part of your company, here are 12 key steps.1. Insist that communication flow through e-mail.2. Study sales data online to share insights easily.3. Shift knowledge workers into high-level thinking.4. Use digital tools to create virtual teams.5. Convert every paper process to a digital process.6. Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs.7. Create a digital feedback loop.8. Use digital systems to route customer complaints immediately.9. Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries.10. Transform every business process into just-in-time delivery.11. Use digital delivery to eliminate the middle man.12. Use digital tools to help customers solve problems for themselves.As I said in The Road Ahead, we always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.You know you have built an excellent digital nervous system when information flows through your organization as quickly and naturally as thought in a human being and when you can use technology to marshal and coordinate teams of people as quickly as you can focus an individual on an issue. It's business at the speed of thought.Part III Great business deals1.In the … er … late 1920s, early 1930s, there was a … a youngGreekbusinessman who … er … made quite a lot of money … er … by importing tobacco into Arge ntina. Um … he then moved up to North America … er … this was in about … er … 1933, when of course the world was in the middle of a …a trade slump. Er … he … er … decided he wanted to get into shipping, andto get in to shipping he needed ships so he … he started looking around for some ships to buy with his tobacco fortune and he found ten vessels … er …which belonged to the Canadian National Steamship Company … er … the problem being that they were frozen into the ice in the St Lawrence River in Canada.They'd been rusting away there for two years and were now completely filled up with snow and ice. Er … in fact the story goes that when he went aboard to … er … inspect one of the ships, he fell into a snowdrift and …er …ended up on the deck below. Well, the ships had cost $2 million to build …er … about ten years before, and the owners were prepared to let them go just for a … a scrap price of … er … $30 000 each. He offered $20,000 and the owners accepted.He left them there, stuck in the ice, there was nothing more he could do.Er … but a few years later, the … the world depression … er … came to an end and … er … world war seemed to be looming in Europe and, of course, that led in its turn to a … bit of a shippi ng boom. So the young man, there he was with his ships and … er … he became one of the richest men in the world. His name was … Aristotle Onassis.2.Once upon a time there was an enterprising Scottish actor, called ArthurFurguson, who discovered that he could make a very good living selling things that didn't actually belong to him, in other words he was a con man. He firstgot the idea when he was sitting in the middle of Trafalgar Square (in London that is). Um … this was in 1923, and he saw an America n tourist admiring the stone lions and the fountains and Nelson's Column. He introduced himself as the "official guide" to the Square and started to explain the history of the place. And while he was doing this he also slipped in a little mention that as Britain was heavily in debt, the British government was looking for the right kind of person to buy the Square. He said that he was the official government salesman and that the asking price was around ￡6 000. The American said that this was a good price and offered to pay by cheque right away, so Mr. Furguson went off to okay this with his superiors — in other words he went off for an hour and a half and kept the American waiting. Well, he then came back and said, yes, they were willing to sell to the American at that price. The American wrote a check and Furguson gave him a receipt and the address of a company who would dismantle the Square and get it ready for shipping it to the States. Then he went off to cash the check.Soon after that he sold Big Ben for ￡1 000 and took a down payment on Buckingham Palace of ￡2 000. Two years later he went to the United States and leased the White House to a Texas cattleman for 99 years for $100 000 per annum. Later he arranged to sell the Statue of Liberty to an Australian for $100 000, but unfortunately Furguson allowed the buyer to take a photograph of him and the Australian, feeling slightly suspicious, showed thephotograph to the police. Furguson was identified and sent to prison for fraud for five years. When he came out he retired to California, where he lived in luxury until he died in 1938.Part IV More about the topic: alt DisneyPresenter:Walt Disney is well known as the creator of Mickey Mouse and the inventor of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but his creationsare better known than his life. Peter Spencer is the author ofa new book about Disney. What was Walt Disney's backgroundPeter:Walter Elias Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago but actually he was brought up in a small town in the Mid-West near Kansas City,Missouri, which incidentally was later used as the model for MainStreet in Disneyland. Um ... he first studies cartooning, you know, by doing a correspondence course. During the First WorldWar he worked as a … a driver for the American R ed Cross but afterthe war he returned to Kansas City where he met a guy called UbIwerks. Now they … er … started to work together on a series of experimental-type films ... um … and after a while they set off to California to join Walt's elder brother Roy who was livingthere in Los Angeles.Presenter:When did Mickey Mouse first appearPeter:Ah, well, Disney and Iwerks first invented a character called Oswald the Rabbit but then in 1928 a new character wasborn:cheerful, sometimes rather naughty, energetic mouse with largefunny ears. Yes, it was Mickey and he appeared for the first timein the first talking cartoon film, called Steamboat Willie. Er …not many people know this but Walt Disney actually provided thevoice for Mickey. By the way, he was almost called "Mortimer Mouse", which doesn't have the same kind of ring to it, or doesit Well, Roy and Walt gathered a team of artists … er …illustrators together … um … by this time Ub Iwerks had left them and started his own company, this was in 1930, and DisneyStudi os, as they called themselves, starting … started to producethe famous short cartoons with … starring Mickey and Minnie andDonald Duck and Pluto and Goofy. Er … Roy was the business managerand driving force behind the company … er … m aking it very profitable and Walt was more the … er … imaginative, creativepart of the partnership.Presenter:What kind of man was Walt DisneyPeter:Well, according to the artists who worked for him Walt actually couldn't draw very well … er … most of the characters wereactually drawn by Iwerks, but apparently he was an amazingstoryteller. He would act out the stories of films doing all the voices and actions to show the illustrators what he wanted themto do and then they had to go off and try to recreate hisvisualizations.Presenter:The most famous cartoon of all was Snow White — and the best I still think.Peter:Mm, yeah, it was the first feature-length cartoon and it was released in … er … 1935. Now, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfsrequired two million drawings and took three years' work to make.Um … obviously it was … er … very expensive, particularly for those times. By the way, the British film censor gave it an Adultcertificate because he thought that it would be too frighteningfo r little children to see on their own. Er … that was followed by Pinocchio and Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941. And … er …the Disney Studios also started making … um … some rather low-budget live action feature films for children … er …something which th e other studios didn't dare risk doing. Er …some of his films mixed live action with cartoons —er … I'm thinking about Mary Poppins, which I think we've probably allseen, made in 1964, where cartoon characters and … and the reallife actors appeared together on screen and talked anddanced andsang together. Disney was one of the first to see the potential of television, all the other studios were afraid of this medium.Um … so he started to produce films directly for television and …and now of course there's a Disney Channel showing only Disneyfilms.Presenter:And then he dreamt up Disneyland, didn't hePeter:Ah, "dreamt" is the right word. Disneyland was a creation of the land of his dreams: safe, happy, clean, fairy-tale world with itsown Magic Kingdom. The original Disneyland was opened in LosAngeles in 1955 and it cost $17 million. Walt died in 1966 but he was already working on plans for the Disney World in Orlando,Florida, which opened in 1971, and the EPCOT Center near WaltDisney World —that's the "Experimental Prototype Community OfTomorrow", by the way. And there's also a … a Tokyo Disneyland,which was opened in … um … 1983.Presenter:And … and now there's even an Euro Disneyland near Paris, I think.Peter:Yes, that's right. Um … and the Disney Studios still con tinue to produce films in the … the house style, the Walt Disney styleand presumably it always will. Disney's films appealed …um …and still do appeal to children of all ages, but people often criticize them for their lack of taste and they say they're vulgar,but Disney said, "I've never called this art. It's show business and I'm a showman." Well, can you imagine a world without MickeyMousePresenter:Peter Spencer, thank you.Part V Do you know…1. The best real estate deal in historyEven in the days when America was known as the New World, it was a country with a reputation for its spirit of enterprise and the ability of its people to make a good deal.When the settlers started negotiating, the natives hardly knew what had hit them — and in the summer of 1626, probably the most spectacular real estate coup in history took place.Governor Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India Company had the job of buying Manhattan Island from the Indians.After some haggling with Chief Manhasset, the price was agreed at 24 dollars' worth of kettles, axes and cloth.Today, $24 would not buy one square foot of office space in New York City, and an office block in central Manhattan changes hands for around $80 million. Even allowing for inflation, Minuit got himself a real bargain.2. Not again, Josephine!You would think that the Manhattan deal would remain a one-off for ever. But less than two centuries later the loser was Napoleon, Emperor of France and (in his early years, at least) a brilliant military tactician.In 1803, Napoleon had his mind on European affairs (in particular, an invasion ofBritain), so he decided to dispense with France's American possessions.He sold the entire Mississippi valley, an area of 828 000 square miles extending from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico and westwards to the Rockies, for just over 27 million dollars.Through this deal, known as the Louisiana purchase, President Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States for only around 5 cents per acre.3. Nice ice at a reasonable priceNapoleon did just manage to reach Moscow in his ill-fated invasion of 1812 —but it would seem that news of his poor American deal did not.For, astonishingly, the Russians went on to become the third victims of major land deals with America.On March 30th 1867, the . Secretary of State, William Seward, bought Alaska from Tsar Alexander II for a mere $ million —thereby acquiring another 586 000 square miles of territory for less than 2 cents per acre.The Tsar presumably thought that this remote, frozen and virtually uninhabited piece of land had nothing at all to commend it —and at first, the American people agreed with him, for Alaska was known as "Seward's folly" and "Seward's ice box" for years. In 1896, however, gold was struck at Klondike in the Yukon, and since then, over 750 million dollars' worth has been mined.In 1968, black gold was discovered —and an estimated 100 billion tons of coal are also lying underground, just waiting to be dug up.。

for your health, or to look good?laura: to be honest, for both. with women, good looks are always a very important consideration. peter: if they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.laura: how about you? do you get any regular exercise?peter: i do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but i never go to the gym like you do.laura: well, walking is good exercise. how about sports?peter: not since my school days. i used to love playing baseball, but its impossible to get enough people together for a game now. mostly i just watch sports on tv.peter: oh, i forgot about that. i go cycling sometimes too. and i often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.laura: why dont you join me at the gym sometime? i can get you a guest pass. peter: well, maybe someday, but im pretty lazy about things like that. questions1. what do you know about peter?2. where might the two speakers be having this conversation? speaking tasks pair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1a: whats your plan for this evening?b: well, theres a good game at the stadium but i havent got a ticket yet.a: im going to the gym. would you like to come along? i can get a guest pass for you. b: thats wonderful. id always wanted to work out in the new gym. thank you very much. conversation 2 a: hi, xiao wang. fancy meeting you here! how are you doing?b: cant complain. im busy with my experiments in the lab. but after work i often play some sports．a: like what?b: like swimming, running and sometimes tennis.a: tennis? thats my favorite game. say, whatre you doing this weekend? b: nothing particular. i guess ill probably just workin the lab. a: come on. you need to relax. what about a game of tennis? b: ok.conversation 3a: are you doing anything special tomorrow, bob? b: not really. why do you ask?a: some of us are going motorcycling. would you like to join us? b: motorcycling? ive never done that. isnt it a bit dangerous? a: maybe, but its really exciting.b: i enjoy jogging. its more relaxing.a: thats a good form of exercise. it can help you stay in shape. b: yes, its also safer.now make similar conversations according to the given situations. use the structures and expressions above in your conversations where appropriate[ti:unit 1 part c]test your listeningyoure going to hear five short conversations. listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. w: i like playing basketball, volleyball and table tennis. what about you? m: well, tennis is my favorite sport. q: what sport does the man like?2. w: you dont like boxing very much, do you? m: its far from being my kind of sport. q: what does the man mean?3. w: i think yesterdays football game was quite exciting. what about you, john?m: you said it. but it was a bit long.q: what does the man think about the football game? 4. w: do you like to play chess?m: i like the game, but i dont play it often enough. im afraid im not a very good chess player. q: what does the man mean?5. m: i knew the names of all the football players and the dates of all the games in my high schooldays. but recently i have failed to keep up with football. w: now you are busy with your golf games.q: what do you know about the man from the conversation?unit 2 food and drinks part alistening strategylistening between the linespeople do not always say directly what they mean. very often, we have to listen between the lines. the english languageoffers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. to find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. for example, if someone says i havean essay to write in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. and if someone says andrew passed with flying colors in reply to an inquiry about how andrew did on a test,we can infer from the meaning of the idiom to pass with flying colors that andrew did very well on the test. often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. for example, he is very clever said with an ironic tone means just the opposite. you are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.listen carefully and write down yes or no to each of the following questions. 1. m: have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate? w: yes, many times.whenever my friends come to visit me, ill take them there to eat. 2. w: is there something wrong, sir?m: my wife and i have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal. 3. w: where is the cake i made this morning?m: we ate it, mom. can you make another one for us?4. w: i hear you like chicken very much.m: next to beef.5. m: have you tried this wine before?w: no, never. its my first time, but its really to my taste. 6. w: john, do you want a soda? m: soda? i think it tastes like medicine. 7. w: why, the fish is left almost untouched. m: well, it would be good if it were less salty. 8. m: hi, sue, would you like to eat out tonight?w: oh, id really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..[ti:unit 2 part b] listening tasks a conversationwhat about dining out?exercise 1listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. peter: hi, kate.kate: hi, peter. how have you been?
