Michael Dell:Michael Dell serves as Chairman and CEO of Dell Computer Corporation. He is the longest tenured CEO in the whole computer industry. By using his innovative direct-to-consumer marketing approach and by pioneering the industry’s first service and support programs—the build-to-order revolution, Dell Computer Corporation has successfully eliminated the middle-man and established itself as one of the top vendors of personal computers worldwide.Frederick SmithFrederick Smith is Chairman, President and CEO of Federal Express Corporation, or FedEx, a global provider of transportation, e-commerce and supply chain management services. But when he first came up with the idea of overnight delivery service, nobody seemed to be interested in it. And now with its just-in-time delivery system, Smith has made FedEx a multi-billion dollar industry. FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.B. Fred must stay competitive in the following aspects:1) the quality of service2) the breadth of the network3) the unique services needed4) the costPart 3 Michael Dell vs. Frederick Smith (2)A.Efficient information system can A great part of the economy will work on “supply chain” because1) take out all the unnecessary costs of transaction and processing and help find more applicable products or services;2) shrink the distance between the source of demand and the source of supply. 1) About 40% of businesses today are operated on a fast cycle basis, so you’ll have a world of choice;2) Almost everything can be presented to you on a computer and you cancustomize almost anything;3) You can have it delivered very rapidly.B. Question: What keeps you going and what have you left to accomplish? Michael:Motivation: The opportunity in the industry, in the business Ambitions1. To be a leader not only in client computing, but also in the enterprise and servers and storage.2. To do business not just in the United States but all over the world3. To add a lot of services that go along with the productsFrederickPositive attitude towards future:Being truly excited about the company’s futurePositive attitude towards work:Enjoy going to work every dayLove to competeLove to innovateLove to work with a lot of wonderful people and sit right in the middle of a lot of very exciting business trends.Part 4 More about the topicSummary:One of the most fundamental steps toward a successful business is the business plan. It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。

英语听力教程第三版(张民伦主编)Unit 6 Find the Right Words听力原文
Listen this way听力教程第三册-6Unit 6 Find the Right WordsPart I Getting ready Audioscript:The English language can be traced back to prehistoricIndo-European through the West Germanic line. However, many other influences have shaped the development of Modern English. We will review some important dates in the history of the English language. The first three are Latin influences:1. In 5,5 B.C. Caesar conquered Britain and the Celtic people.2. In 43. B.C. Rome colonized the island.3. The Romans remained for 400 years (the first four centuries of the Christian Era).The next significant dates were:4. The year 499 (which was the year of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the island).5. From 500 on, the West Germanic language was the basic language of Britain (or England).Influences from other languages continued however.6. In the sixth and seventh centuries England was Christianized bymissionaries sent by the Pope (so that Latin influence continued). Then,7. In the eig11th and ninth centuries the Norsemen (Vikings), invaded England with their Old Norse language.8. In 1066. the Norman Conquest brought French linguistic influence.9. The French influence continued for 300 years (the ninth century through the 11th century).10. And finally, in the fifteen and sixteen hundreds, when classical learning was revived, there was continued Latin language influence. Audioscript:1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and theydon'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 tolectures 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 everyday.Part II Skills to communicate badnewsAudioscript:Avi Arditti：I'm Avi Arditti with Rosanne Skirble, and this week on Wordmaster: giving doctors better skills to communicatebad news.Rosanne Skirble：Anthony Back is a medical oncologist at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson CancerResearch Center in Seattle. He and four colleagues are inthe fifth year leading a program funded with one andone-half million dollars from the National Cancer Institute. Avi Arditti：Doctor Back says specially trained actors play cancer patients to help oncologists learn how to avoid soundinginsensitive when the prognosis is grim.Anthony Back：Probably the biggest misconception I face is that you're either born with this or you're not. In fact, what theresearch shows is that people learn to do this over time.And the way they learn to do it is they see good role models,they practice, they get specific feedback on what they'redoing, they try-out new things, they innovate and developnew conversational practices for themselves.Avi Arditti：Can you give us some examples of those conversational practices -- what are some ways to impart bad news? Anthony Back：Here's an example: The patient has had cancer in the past, has been doing well and is coming in for some routinefollow-up tests. The routine follow-up tests unexpectedlyshow the cancer has started to come back.The doctor will typically go in and say to the patient,"Guess what, your cancer's back." And the patient will bejust blown away, right? There are a couple of practicesthere that doctors can do that can help. One is to start with-- especially if you don't know the patient -- asking what thepatient expected, what did they understand about theircancer, what were they expecting with this test. Because ifthe patient says to you "You know, they didn't tell meanything. I'm just here because I got this appointment in themail," that's one whole kind of comprehension level.Whereas if the patient says "I had a Tl Nl MO lung cancerand they told me I had a fifty-five percent chance of diseaserecurrence in the next two years," that's a whole differentstory, right?The second thing is that after you give this difficult news,then I think it's really important to address both thecognitive reaction and also the kind of the emotional side ofit.Rosanne Skirble：What are some of the phrases or the ways in which you can couch this news?Anthony Back：You know, the way to make it easier is to make sure that you are going from the context the patient drew for you.So you go from what the patient understands and you try touse their words as much as possible. And then, when youget to the really bad part of the news, I think it's actuallyimportant to be direct and concrete and not to couch thenews. It's better to say "The cancer has come back" than tosay "There are hypo-densities in your liver on the CT" (or)"You have a malignancy." All those euphemisms forcepatients to struggle to understand what's happening to them,and it adds to their confusion and distress.Rosanne Skirble: ：Well, should they say things like "I wish things were different" or "I hope for the best," or should a doctorkind of maintain a distance?Anthony Back：You know, my thought about that actually is that the more skilled the physician, the less they have to distancethemselves. There are some phrases that we use, and themost important ones are really the ones that are aboutempathy for the patient. You know, "I see this is a difficultsituation, I see this is not what you expected, I'm hoping forthe best." And I think it's fine for doctors to talk about hope,and I think it's important actually.AviArditti：Let me ask you, have you seen any cultural differences come up in the training programs as you've had doctors gothrough?Anthony Back：You know, we have actually a very multicultural group of physicians who come, and they all bring in alltheir own different values about how frank should peoplebe. Because the American standard, of course, is thatpatients themselves get all the information, they make thedecision themselves, and there's this very strong emphasison autonomy. And in a lot of other cultures that's really notthe case.Rosanne Skirble：And what got you started in the first place? Anthony Back：What got me started was, when I was an oncology trainee, and this was after a personal experience -- mymother had died of a pre-leukemia kind of thing -- Iremember walking around in the bone-marrow transplantwards with this experienced -- it was this other, older seniorphysician -- going around having these life-and-deathconversations with patients and thinking, God, there has gotto be a better way to do this.Avi Arditti：The result, says Doctor Anthony Back in Seattle, is a program that has now trained about one hundred-eightyoncologists at retreats held twice a year. The program Website is -- that's o-n-c-o-t-a-l-k dot i-n-f-o.Part III Foreign accents Audioscript:Section IAs far as I'm concerned, I do tend to judge people I meet by their accents. I don't mean that I'm a sort of snob, and only like people with posh accents, but I never feel comfortable with a new person until I've been able to place them from the way they speak. If it's an English person, I feel much more at ease if I can say "Ah, he comes form Liverpool", or "He's probably been to public school". I suppose then I know what to talk about and what to expect from the other person.The same is true of foreigners. Personally, I prefer a foreigner to speak with a recognizable foreign accent, so that I know that I'm talking to a Frenchman, a Ghanaian, a Pole, and so on. So for me, it seems a bit pointless for foreigners to try desperately hard to get rid of their national accent and try to speak BBC English. If someone isclearly French, I know there's no point in talking about cricket or making jokes about the Irish. And frankly, I think it even sounds more attractive. I can't really explain why, but if a person has a foreign accent, they seem to be more interesting, even if they are saying the most ordinary things.Audioscript:Section IIMind you, there is a limit to intelligibility. If the accent is so strong that you have a struggle to understand what they are saying, then that gets in the way of the conversation, and the flow is broken while you try to sort out the sounds into meaningful bits. I don't mean an accent as strong as that. I'm talking about the kind of accent where you can tell immediately which country the person comes from, but where they've got enough English to carry on a good conversation without searching for words, or messing up the grammar so that you lose the thread. I suppose it's the kind of accent most foreigners have, really. To be honest, it's only a very few who have such a good ear that they produce more or less genuine British English, and even then it can be quite amusing because they may have picked up a clearly regional accent, or even a very upper-class accent which doesn't fit in with their character at all. But most foreigners who learn English aredesperately keen to get rid of their foreign accents and waste a lot of time trying to do so.Part IV More about the topic:Love and Grammar Audioscript:Are you looking for love? When you want to impress a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, you take great care with your appearance and try to be on your best behaviour. But . . . what about your grammar? Do you check if you are using verbs and commas properly?If not, you'd better think again. The research arm of dating site OKCupid has suggested that bad grammar can ruin your love life. It looked at 500 000 first contacts on the site and concluded that "netspeak, bad grammar and bad spelling are huge turn-offs".On the other hand, the correct use of apostrophes seems to be quite an aphrodisiac. Using "don't" and "won't" caused better than average response rates says the research.American writer Twist Phelan, who went on 100 online dates in 100 days and later married someone she met online, believes that grammar is an important "filter system" for prospective partners. Shesays: "If you're trying to date a woman, I don't expect flowery Jane Austen prose. But aren't you trying to put your best foot forward?" Perhaps you think you are ready to start looking for anEnglish-speaking girlfriend or boyfriend. Am I right? You go online, look at the picture and start calling him or her "beautiful", "gorgeous" and "sexy" before you meet. Will it work? The research says it won't! The wrong adjective can put a full stop on a potential relationship. People enjoy receiving compliments but not when they sound like a pick-up line.General compliments such as "cool", "it's nice that ..." and "awesome" got good responses from the dating site users.So now you are ready. Keep your wits about you because many things online are not what they seem; and watch your vocabulary and punctuation.Some say that a comma might even save lives -- as in the example: "Let's eat, my darling!" as opposed to "Let's eat my darling!"Can you see which one would grant you a meal with your date and which one would land you in jail?Part V Do you know ...?Audioscript:Alex：Hello, Carole? Is that you?Carole：Alex! What on earth are you doing ... a stupid question, you're doing the same as I am.Alex：What are you laughing at?Carole：Well, actually I'm just reading this article in Punch. It's the Franglais column. It's very funny.Alex：Oh, yes, yes, er ...Carole：I know this is only a spoof, but I think these adaptions of English into French or French into English can be veryfunny. How does it occur actually?Alex：Oh, I suppose it came after the war, you know when the Americans were in France and a lot of English words andexpressions came into French. Er ...Carole：Oh, I see, yes, so ...Alex：But after that there was a strong reaction against it, I think.Carole：You mean people don't... aren't very keen on it. A sort of linguistic imperialism.Alex：Exactly, yes, er, take the ex ... example like "lift" you see.We've got no, no word in French for "lift".Carole：You mean "lift", the thing that goes up and down ... Alex：No, no. No, no, I mean, erm, would you like a lift home or something like that.Carole：Mm.Alex：Would you like a lift. What would you say in French? You would say something like, er, can I take you home with mycar?Carole：Oh, I see, so ...Alex：It's so much easier to say er, would you like a lift, you see. Carole：... I see, so in fact it's often for words that there's no equivalent for in...Alex：Yes, that... that's it, yes.Carole：... in French.Alex：Yes.Carole：Or something ... I suppose the same would apply to something like erm, "le weekend".Alex：Yes, yes. That goes a bit ... that goes back a bit. Yes, I suppose it was something er, before, even before the first WorldWar.Carole：Oh, that one's really old. Are there any more recent examples?Alex：Er, oh yes. "Speakerine" is a good example.Carole：Speakerine?Alex：Speakerine, yes.Carole：That doesn't even sound French. That sounds more German. Alex：Yes, it's a bit of a monster actually. You know, it means an announcer or a, a newsreader.Carole：Oh, I see, on the, on the box!Alex：Yes.Carole：And there are other things, aren't there, that are distortions like that. Erm ... oh, what's the one I can, erm ... "lesmoking" ...Alex：Ah, le smoking, yes.Carole：... which means, er, dinner jacket in English ...Alex：And we say smoking in French. It's very strange, in fact. But you've got another one, "the training", the training. Andyou ...Carole：What's that?Alex：Oh, it's like, it's like a pyjama in French. And you will say, I don't know, er...Carole：The pyjama?Alex：... children it's getting late, erm, put, put your training on and go to bed.Carole：How peculiar, because I mean, training means something quite different. Are there any other reasons why we borrow,why the French borrow words, borrow English words? Alex：Er, snob value, I suppose.Carole：Oh, really.Alex：Oh, yes. Er ...Carole：You mean English words are snobbish in French?Alex：Yes. They would, they would take a word like "building" and think it's much better to live in a building than to be -- tolive in a house.Carole：How strange, because building is such ...Alex：So we say building; we are living in the building.Carole：It's such a mundane word in English. I mean, it sounds just so ordinary.Alex：Yes, it is.Carole：But surely, I mean something like "le parking" which is very common, that, that can't have snob value, can it?Alex：No, no, of course, I mean just the French is cumbersome. Carole：Mm. Receptionist: Mrs. Harding, could you go through now please?Carole：Oh dear! I've got to go.Alex：Bye, bye, Carole.Carole：I hope it's not too painful, Alex. Thanks, bye.Part VII Watch and enjoy Videoscript:-- Jove! Good heavens!-- Oh, sir. Is there any sign of it stopping?-- I'm afraid not. It's worse than before.-- Oh, dear.-- If it's worse, it's a sign it's nearly over. Cheer up, captain. Buy a flower off a poor girl?-- I'm sorry. I haven't any change.-- Oh, I can change half a crown.

I never spoke to him except to ask him to buy a flower offme!-- Oh, don't start!-- What's all the b100ming noise?-- There's a "tec" taking her down.-- Well, I'm making an honest living!-- Who's doing all that shouting?-- Where's it coming from?-- Oh, sir.

How do I know you took me down right? You just show me what you wrote about me. Oh. What's that? That ain't proper writing. I can't read it.-- I can. I say, captain, now buy you a flower off a poor girl.-- Oh, it's cause I called him "captain". I meant no harm. Oh, sir. Don't let him lay a charge against me for a word like that!-- Charge? I'll make no charge. Really, sir. If you are a detective, you needn't begin protecting me against molestation from youngwomen until I askyou. Anyone can tell the girl meant no harm.He ain't no "tec". He's a gentleman. look at his boots.How are all your people down at Selsey?Who told you my people come from Selsey?Never mind. They do. How do you come to be up so far east? You wereborn in Lisson Grove.Oh. What harm is there in my leaving Lisson Grove?

He ain't, to interfere with a poor girl!How do you do it, may I ask?Simple phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession. Also myhobby.

I could even get her a job as a lady's maid or a shop assistant, which requires better English.-- Here, what's that you say?-- Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf; you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns; you incarnate insult to the Englishlanguage. I could pass you off as, uh, the Queen of Sheba.-- Oh! You don't believe that, captain?-- Anything's possible. I, myself, am a student of Indian dialects. -- Are you? Do you know Colonel Pickering, the author of Spoken Sanskrit?-- I am Colonel Pickering. Who are you?-- I'm Henry Higgins, author of Higgins' Universal Alphabet.-- I came from India to meet you.-- I was going to India to meet you!-- Higgins!-- Pickering!。

money with your money. First, you have to earn money. As a kid, you get money from allowance, gifts, services, or from selling goods such as lemonade. Try to save some, if not all of this money. The next step is to make your money grow through investing.There are two main reasons why you should invest. The first is to stay ahead of inflation and the second is to achieve financial goals. Inflation causes the increase of prices. When a Big Mac goes up from $1.20 to $1.50 or when gas goes up from $1.30 to $1.70 a gallon, we say that is inflation. Y ou need to make more money just to keep up with the rising cost of living.Financial goals can be separated into two types: short-term goals and long-term goals. The first refers to the things that you need or want now or within the year, such as a bike, a computer, or a video game. Generally, it takes less money to reach these short-term goals. However, long-term goals are expensive and require some planning. They are things you need or want in a few years or more, for example, going to college, buying a house, and even starting a business.Investing is like “planting” money. A small amount of money invested will often grow to a larger sum over time. Y ou’ve heard the phrase, “ Time is money.” With investing, time also makes money.Although investing can make money with money, the downside of investing is that there is a risk of losing your money. The key to investing is to minimize the risk and to maximize the financial reward.PART 2-BOn Thursday, April 17, “ National Teach Children to Save Day,” 2500 bankers will make 5000 presentations in elementary school classrooms across the country to teach children how to save money.“Bankers are committed to investin g in the future of children because we want them to be able to make smart financial decisions throughout their lifetime,” said American Bankers Association Executive Vice-president Donald G. Ogilvie, “ Education and money management skills are keys to a better life.”The ABA Education Foundation declared “ National Teach Children to Save Day” as a way to show banking industry support for teaching children money management skills and encouraging them to save money for the future. In 1996, Americans saved only 4.9% of their disposable incomes, compared to 1970 when they saved 8%.The Foundation coordinated a great effort with state bankers associations to encourage bankers to participate in “National Teach Children to Save Day”. It also prepared a resource kit with tools to help bankers make presentations in classrooms. More than 125 000 students will be part of this national initiative.The ABA Education Foundation also offers tips for parents to foster the savings habit in their children:Give them an allowance with the understanding that part of it goes into their own savings—a first step towards learning to budgetTo make their savings visible and real, have them build up savings in a piggy bank. Then help them open their own bank savings account, and have them make deposits each month.Use their monthly statements or the record in their savings passbooks, to show them how their money is multiplyingFor every dollar your children earn, encourage them to spend 25 cents on what they want or need now, put 25 cents away for a bigger-item purchase later and save or invest the rest. (That’s a 50% savings rate!)Make savings and investing fun. Give your children play money to “invest” in stocks they can track in local newspapers. If the stocks go up, pay them in more play money; if the stocks decline, they pay you.PART 3Credit cards are an important part of American life. Whether we have a positive or negative image of credit cards, they are an inescapable part of our finances, either now or in the future.Wit hout a credit card, it’s just about impossible to rent a car, make a hotel or airline reservation, or even get a membership at a video store.Since credit cards are so important, yet so many people are in financial trouble because of them, we feel education is extremely important. We want to show our customers that credit cards are not toys; they are an important responsibility.A credit card can be used to “charge” things like clothes, tapes or CDs, dinner at a restaurant, or maybe a hotel room while you’re on vacation. When you charge something, you are agreeing to pay for your purchase at a later date. Basically, you are buying something now and paying for it later.Credit cards come with a “limit’. Let’s say your credit card has a limit of $100.00 worth of items on your card. Y ou will get a statement in the mail each month that lists the charges you have made. Y ou will also have to make a payment every month that you have a balance owing.Since we’re about educating our customers on the realities of c redit and credit cards, we’re going to be perfectly honest. First, using a credit card can be very expensive. Banks don’t offer credit cards just because they like you. They offer them because they make money when customers use credit cards.How do they make money? When you charge something on a credit card, you not only will have to pay for what you bought, but you will also have to pay interest, or a finance charge, if you don’t pay your bill in full by the due date. The finance charge is your extra cost for having something now and paying for it later. The interest rate on a credit card can be 15% or even higher. If, however, you pay your bill in full every month by the due date, you do not have to pa interest. And of course, we highly recommend you do that!It’s very easy to make lots of purchases on your card and then be surprised at how quickly they add up when your bill arrives! If you’re not careful when you use a credit card, you could find yourself in a lot of debt. And it always takes much longer to pay it off than to spend it.Y ou will also want to be careful about buying things with credit card youwouldn’t normally be able to afford. Again, you can get in over your head and end up paying a tremendous amount of interest.However, when used cor rectly, credit cards can be very helpful. It’s sometimes hard to do certain things without a credit card. Credit cards are also helpful for emergencies and are good for travel. Some credit cards even insure your purchase, meaning if something is lost, stolen, or broken, it can be replaced.We believe the best way to become responsible with credit is to learn through hands-on experience. If you begin at a young age with a low limit, you won’t be likely to blow it and get in financial trouble later on.PART 4-BTeenagers and children everywhere like to buy toys and special treats if they have the money to spend. Indeed studies show there are quite a few young consumers in the world today. But there are some real differences from country to country. An American business school professor has been traveling around the world studying just how children tend to spend their money. He is trying to predict the international market place trends of the future.University Professor James McMill can tell you what type of consumers your economy is going to have in 15 years just by watching the way your children spend money today. He has been making spending predictions like that for thirty years now and is considered so accurate in the United States that advertising agencies frequently call upon his expertise. Over the last decade Mr. McMill began studying children in cultures outside the United States. His most recent stop was Beijing, China, where he studies the consumer behavior patterns of 780 children between the ages of 8 and 12, whose parents’ jobs range from professionals to unskilled workers. Mr. McMill said he anticipated finding very little consumer behavior among China’s children. But he was wrong.“Those children are participating in the market place. Typically there is one child in the household and the child has two, four, six parents. In other words there are two parents and four grandparents, and they’re receiving a great deal of money. But I think it was a surprise to me how robust the economy was, you know firsthand, and how robust the participation in the economy was by the children.”Mr. McMill says most of the money Chinese children spend comes from gifts from their parents and grandparents. In addition, he says, 15% of the (Beijing) children he surveyed are given money for performing household chores and other 6% receive money for work outside the home. China’s children average three and a half store visits a week during which they average one and a half purchase. He estimates children in China receive only 66% as much as children in the United States because Chinese children save more of their income than U.S children. Mr. McMill says the number one purchase for children in both the United States and China is the same thing---snacks.“But when you get to number two then, for our children it’s play, it’s toys, it’s play items; for their children it’s reading material we’ll call it. When you get to number three items, for the Chinese children, it will probably be school supplies and for our children it will be clothing. And when you get to the number four for theirchildren it’ll be toys, play items because they like to play too, and for our children it will probably be electronics of some sort.”PART 5When we think of money today, we picture it either as round, flat pieces of metal which we call coins, or as printed paper notes.However, the earliest method of exchange was barter in which goods were exchanged directly for other goods. Problems arose when either someone did not want what was being offered in exchange for the other good, or if no agreement could be reached over how much one good was worth in terms of the otherV aluable metals such as gold and silver began acting as a medium of exchange. Governments then decided to melt down these metals into coins. By the seventeenth century people were leaving gold with the local goldsmith for safe keeping. Receipts of ?1 and ?5 were issued which could then be converted back into gold at any time. Soon these receipts were recognized as being “as good as gold” and were readily taken in exchange for goods. Goldsmiths became the first specialist bankers and their receipts began to circulate as banknotes.Nowadays, however, notes are not usually used to buy expensive items such as cars. The buyer is more likely to write out a check which instructs his bank to transfer money from his account into the account of the seller. Hence bank deposits act as money.Unit 4 Loans for the DreamPart 1 Getting readyB: Dialogue One.Items ItemsEating out √Hobbies √ Antiques √Food and groceries √Dialogue Two:Items Same Up down figuresEntertainment √ 2566Depreciation √Secretarial expenses √…Motor expenses √2612Audit & accountancy costs √Telephone & postage √Part 2 Raising money for buying a carA: SummaryMr. Jackson … in the college… As… worth repairing, he … .

Listen this way. Book Two.Unit 1 Under the Same RoofPart ⅠGetting ready.A The following words and phrases will appear in this unit. Listen carefully andstudy the definitions.1. kindergarten:2. nursery school:3. kid:4. stability:5. discipline6. divorce:7. care for:8. coo:9. wedding.10. bride:B You are going to hear some people talking about pictures of their families.Listen carefully and identify which one of the following pictures each person is talking about.Number 1 This is my family. I'm married. My husband's name is Bill. We have two children — a boy and a girl. Our little girl is six years old, and our little boy is four. Jennie goes to kindergarten, and Aaron goes to nursery school. My father lives with us. Grandpa's great with the kids. He loves playing with them and taking them to the park or the zoo.Numberer 2 This is a picture of me and my three sons. We're at a soccer game. Orlando is twelve, Louis is ten, and Carlos is nine. All three of them really like sports. Orlando and Louis play baseball. Carlos is into skating.Number 3 This is my wife June, and these are my three children. Terri on the right is the oldest. She's in high school. She's very involved in music. She's in the orchestra. Rachel — she's the one in the middle — is twelve now. And this is my son Peter. He's one year older than Rachel. Rachel and Peter are both in junior high school. Time really flies. June and I have been married for twenty years now.Number 4 This is a picture of me with my three kids. The girls, Jill and Anne, are both in high school. This is Jill on the right. She'll graduate next year. Anne is two years younger. My son Dan is in college. It seems like the kids are never home. I see them for dinner and sometimes on Saturday mornings, but that's about it. They're really busy and have a lot of friends.PartⅡQ: Parent Link is an organization that looks at the problems that parents and children face. Its director, Tim Kahn, told us about the changing roles of parents and children.T: The authoritarian model was one in which the child had no rights and I guess in the 60s and parents the 70s many people rejected that and we had the sort ofthe permissive era — the age where many parents felt they had allow theirchildren to do whatever they wanted to do and so in a sense the roles werereversed and it was the children who were the bosses and the parents who ranaround behind them. The ideas that we offer to parents are kind of a thirdposition in which we’re looking at equal, where parents and children aredifferent but equal.Q: What about changes in the male-female roles?T: Society has changed a lot. As well as technology leading to great changes, people’s roles have changed very much, in particular the women’s movement hasvery much questioned the role of women and led many women to demand a freerchoice about who they are and how they can be. There’s a lot of frustrationwith how men haven’t changed, and it seems to me that the more thefrustration is expressed the more stuck in and being the same men are and weneeded to find ways of appreciating men for the amount of work that they haveto do in being bread-winners and providers for families and appreciating theefforts men are making to be more involved with their children.Q: Are there any changes you would like to see in the attitude to family life in Britain?T: In the past there were arranged marriages and I wonder if part of having an arranged marriage is knowing that you have to work at it to create the love andthat now people are getting married out of love and there’s a kind of feelingthat your love is there and it will stay there for ever and we don’t have to workat it and when it gets tricky we don’t know how to work at it and so we opt out.I think helping people learn to work at their relationships to make theirre lationship work be a significant thing that I’d like to see happening.Part III Family life then and nowJosephine Davies and Gertrude Smith, two members of the older generation, aretalking about their childhood in Britain 70 years ago.A Now listen to the following conversation. While listening for the first time, add more key words in the left-hand column. After the second listening, answer the questions.Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see ... in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem to do more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think.Question: What was your parents' role in family life?Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it. We had somebody who looked after us and then we also had someone who did the cleaning.Gertrude: Well, we lived in a flat, we only had three rooms and a bathroom. Father worked on the railway at Victoria Station and my mother didn't work, obviously. My father's wage I think was about two pounds a week and I suppose our rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know as rent was - I'm going back a good many years. We didn't have an easy life, you know and I think that's why my mother went out so much with her friends. It was a relief for her, you know really.Question: Did you have a close relationship with your parents?Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn't feel that way, we didn't think about it very much I don't think. I think today people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything, which we didn't. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn't have a television or even a radio and we would play games in the evenings rather than have conversation, I think.Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days?Josephine: Oh yes, I do think so, yes. We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the conversation and decide whether the statements after the conversation are True or False. Put "T" or "F" in the brackets.Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see ... in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem to do more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think.Question: What was your parents' role in family life?Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it.

We didn't have an easy life, you know and I think that's why my mother went out so much with her friends.

We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.Statements:1. Seventy years ago young people often smoked and drank in front of others.2. Apart from a great deal of work outside, Josephine's mother also looked after her children and did the cleaning in the house.3. Gertrude's father earned two pounds a week.4. Gertrude's family had to pay ten shillings a week for their flat.5. Young people seventy years ago deeply felt that they did not have a very close relationship with their parents.6. Nowadays people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything to them.Part ⅣMore about the topic: Father's DayThe following passage is about the father's role in the family. Supply the missing words while listening.Father is a very formal word today. Most people use the word "Dad" or "Daddy" instead. On Father's Day children might take their dad out for a meal. They might send him a greeting card or call on the telephone, or they might buy him a present.Not all children however will see or speak with their dad on Father's Day. Studies say about 24% of American children live in a family without a father. This is three times more than in 1960. Back then only 8% of children lived in a family without a father.One reason is the increasing children born to women who are not married. Studies show the children growing up without a father are more likely to be poor. They are more likely to leave school before completing their education, and they are more likely to become involved in crime or illegal drugs.Another reason for the large number of American families without fathers is the increasing of the number of people who have ended their marriage. The divorce rate in the US has increased sharply in recent years. Today more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce. In 1960 the rate was only 6%. After a divorce, a judge decides which parent will care for the children. In about 70% of cases, the judge decides that the children will live with their mother. In about 8% of the cases, children live with their father after a divorce and in about 15% of the cases children live with each parent at different times.The image of fathers in America has changed especially since the 1960s. Before then, many people felt that fathers were not supposed to become involved with theirchildren or to show love for them. This was not a part of a father's image as a strong and emotional man. Fathers were the leaders of the family. They earned the money. They made the rules. They punished the children when they were bad. Back then fathers did not always spend a lot of time with their children. Most mothers stayed at home to care for them. They also did all the shopping, cleaning and cooking.During the 1960s and 1970s, however, more American women began to work outside the home. As a result, more and more fathers became interested in taking care of their children and helping their wife. Yet, most studies today show that women still spend more time caring for their children and doing housework. This is true even if the wife works and earns the same amount of money as her husband.Several studies show that fathers who are involved with their children are usually more happy and in better health than fathers who are not involved. So celebrating fatherhood is important for men not only on Father's Day but throughout the year.Part ⅤMemory test: Brothers and SistersYou are going to hear a young lady talking about the relationship between brothers and sisters. After that several questions will be asked. Find the right answers as quickly a possible according to the notes you have taken while listening. Woman: Well, my brother was six years younger than I, and er, I think that when he was little I was quite jealous of him. I remember he had beautiful red curls (mm) ... my mother used to coo over him. One day a friend and I played, erm, barber shop, and, erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down) ... That's right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother just was so upset, and in fact it's the f irst ... I think it’s one of the few times I've ever seen my father really angry.Man: What happened to you?Woman: Oh ... I was sent to my room for a whole week you know, it was terrible.Man But was that the sort of pattern, weren't you close to your brother at all?Woman: Well as I grew older I think that er I just ignored him ...Man: What about ... you've got an older brother too, did ... were they close, the two brothers?Woman: No, no my brother's just a couple of years older than I ... so the two of us were closer and we thought we were both very grown up and he was just a ... a kid ... sowe deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time.Man: What was he doing down there?Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work ... And, erm, I didn't, I can't even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married. But I re ... I do remember that later on my mother was showing me pictures of his wedding, 'cause my mother and father went down there (uh huh) to the wedding, and er, there was this guy on the photos with a beard and glasses, and I said, "Oh, who's this then?" 'cause I thought it was the bride's brother or something like this (mm) ... and my mother said frostily, "That ... is your brother!" (laughter)Questions for memory test:1. According to the passage, how many brothers does the lady have?2. When the sister saw her mother coo over her younger brother, how did she feel?3. What's her father's reaction when he got to know that the sister had cut off her younger brother's hair?4. How old was her younger brother when she left home?5. Where did her brother eventually live?6. Who was the guy on the photos with a beard and glasses?Unit 2Part IBWhen parents make a lot of rules about their children's behavior, they make trouble for themselves. I used to spend half my time making sure my rules were obeyed, and the other half answering questions like “Jake can get up whenever he like, so why can’t I?"or “Why can't I plays with Angela?"Jack's mum do esn't mind who he plays with"or"Jack can drink anything he likes. Why can't I drink wine too?"Jack's mum, I decided was a wise woman. I started saying things like “Of course, dear. You can drink as much wine as you like” and "No, I don't mind how late you get up”and "Yes,dear,you can play with Angela as often as you like."The reault have been marvelous. They don't want to get up late any more, they’ve decided they don't like wine, and, most important, they’ve stopped playing with Angela. I’ve now realized(as Jack's mum realized a long time ago)that they onlywanted to do all these nasty things because they weren't allow to.Part II Radio phone-inRadio presenter: Good afternoon.

He'll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn't always safe for young girls to go out at night.Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to come and pick you up from Christine's house once or twice.Rosemary: Yes. I don't think he'll agree to that, but I'll talk to him about it. Thanks.

Part ⅢFamily discipline1. Discipline needs to be there in a certain amount but too much of it can be a bad thing I think and I certainly do get too much of it occasionally.2. I think talking to them, trying to explain why you're upset, what it is they have done wrong is better than hitting them, because if you hit them, they learn to hit other things, other people, you, and I don't think that is a solution to anything.3. My experience as, as, as a mother now is you can, you can talk with a child verymuch and, and the child is going to understand much more than you believe, even if it is a one-year-old or two-years-old child. And I think it's um it's a very bad thing punishing children, because it remains being er an awfully er dark experience, and so it was it for me too, because when I'm thinking about my parents I can't help thinking about these days where they punished me.4. I wouldn't be as strict as my dad was, definitely not, cos （because 的缩写）I don't think that works. That only makes you rebel.5. Well, there's smacking and smacking. I don't at all agree with beating a child, but I do think sometimes a quick, short smack on the hand or arm is better than a long drawn-out moan. It's quick and the child understands it.6. I can't really defend it when I, when I hit my child, I don't do it often but something about it makes me think that it's not … a terrible thing to do. I mean, what are the alternatives? You can shout at your child, you can try to sit down and reason with your child, which is incredibly difficult if you're trying to talk to a two-year-old. Or what else can you do? You can send them out of the room, you can send them up to their room, you cannot let them … have any puddi ng for the dinner, or something, but I mean to me a little spank, to me it's quick, it's honest, it's physical, but having said all that I still try not to do it.PartⅣ填空题不传原文PartⅤA.Louisa: She doesn’t let me watch that much TV after school, which is really annoying because most of my friends watch Home and Away and Neighbors but I only get to watch one of them. I sometimes don’t—I mean I think that’s really unfair so sometimes I just watch both anyway.Mother: First and foremost, Louisa watches a fair amount of television whether she thinks she’s deprived or not, she must watch at least 45 minutes per day. And when I’m not around you know I know the child sneaks in a fair amount more than that. So she gets in a fair amount of television, certainly on the weekends. But I am of the opinion that television, very very very few programs will teach them anything. And I think when a child is under your care for 18 years it’s the parents’ responsibility to make sure that the input is of value, and I don’t t hink television, much television is of any value at all, I think reading a book and doing her piano lessons are far more valuable than watching crummy American soap operas.Questions for memory test:1. How many TV plays are mentioned?2. For how long a time does Louisa watch TV per day?3. Does Louisa try to get more time to watch TV?4. Which activities does Louisa’s mother think are far more valuable?B. My parents gave me a lot of free time. After dinner, during the week when I was say even 15 years old they would let me go out until ten o’clock and they would never ask where I went. I would smoke cigarettes and drink beer, at 15 years old I would hang out in the ... in the local pubs and these were type of things that I don’t think were too good for me at that time. I think my parents should have, you know, maybe at least showed an interest as to where I was going. They never even asked where I was going and they, they gave me a lot of free time, and I think that they, they felt that this was a thing that was being a good parent. But I think that teenagers are very native, and I was as a teenager very native, and I think I could have used a little more direction from them. These days a lot of parents think they should be lenient with their children, they should let them grow and experience on their own. And I think that’s what my parents were doing, I think there’s a Biblical saying”Spare the rod, spoil the child” and I think that really applies.

英语听力教程第三版(张民伦主编)Unit4HaveaNiceTrip听力原文
Listen this way 听力教程第三册-4Unit 4 Have a Nice TripPart I Getting ready Audioscript: ★ Australia is the world's largest island and its smallest continent. Its total area of 3 000 000 square miles is about the same as that of the continental United States (excluding Alaska).★ The area of Nepal is about 54 000 square miles. Within its borders are five of the world's highest peaks.★ Switzerland is a small, landlocked country, 15 944 square miles in area. It's bordered by France, Austria, and Italy. ★ More than 20 000 000 people live in Argentine. About 97 percent are of European stock. Most Argentines live on the eastern plains. Fewer than 19% live in the dry western and northwestern provinces.★ Austria is 32 376 square miles in area. This makes it twice the size of neighboring Switzerland. There are about 7 150 000 people living in Austria. More than one third of the people live in or near Vienna, the capital city.★ Colombia is the only country in South America with a coastline on both sides of the continent. It is a big countrywith an area of 439 828 square miles and about 16 300 000 persons live in Colombia.★ Saudi Arabia's area is estimated to be about 830 000 square miles. Almost all of Saudi Arabia's 7 000 000 people are Arabs. Today Saudi Arabia's vast oil resources are paying for the modernization of the country. Conditions there are changing more rapidly than they have for centuries.★ Denmark proper has an area of only 16 575 square miles. It is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries -- Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. But Denmark's population of over 4 600 000 is greater than that of Norway and more than half that of Sweden.Part II CanadaAudioscript:Thank you for calling the Daily News Information line on Canada.Canada is a huge country, second in size only to the former Soviet Union. Yet it has only 26 million people, which is less than half the population of the United Kingdom. It extends from the Great Lakes in the south to the majestic RockyMountains in the west, and the bleak Arctic Islands in the far north. A third of the country is covered by forest and there are also vast grasslands and countless lakes and rivers.There are great variations in climate. Winters are extremely cold except in Vancouver which has a milder climate owing to its location on the west coast, so take a heavy overcoat and a fur hat. Canadian summers are warm on the whole, especially inland, so you'll only need lightweight clothing.A quarter of all Canadians, mainly those living in the province of Quebec in the east, speak French as their first language. In addition, there are half a million American Indians, a million Germans and smaller numbers of Italians, Ukranians and Inuit. Canada has two official languages: English and French, except in the province of Quebec where French alone is the official language. You'll find English spoken virtually everywhere apart from Quebec and if you plan to visit Quebec City, you'll definitely need a French phrasebook if you don't speak French.Eating out is a pleasure in Canada and you'll find restaurants, coffee shops and snack bars to suit every pocket. Menus offer a wide choice with excellent seafood like Pacificsalmon, lobsters and clams, meat dishes including moose steaks and beefsteaks, and also a range of ethnic foods. For the sweet course, the specialty/speciality is waffles, a kind of thick pancake, served with maple syrup. Beer is good but foreign wines, even those from neighboring America, tend to be quite dear and local wines are not particularly good.Canada has some of the world's most modern shopping centers. Clothes tend to be slightly expensive by European standards but there are some bargains to be had. Good buys include moccasins, a kind of soft leather shoe made by Indians, woolen gloves and sweaters, wood carvings, leather goods and maple syrup, of course.The unit of currency is the Canadian dollar. Banking hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Thursday and till later on Fridays.Have a good trip, and thank you for calling the information line.Part III Travelling aroundAustraliaAudioscript:Nancy: Oh, David, hi!

Nancy will bring her camera with her when she travels in Australia.7. There are no crocodiles in the tropical forest in Australia.Part IV More about the topic: The story of DenverAudioscript: :Denver is the largest city and the capital of the western state of Colorado. There's a marker on the step in the State Capitol Building. Standing there, you are exactly 1.6 kilometers above sea level, one mile high. Denver is known as "the-mile-high city", but it does not appear to be that high. This is because it is built almost completely on smooth flat land. Denver is the largest city of the Rocky Mountains. Many people believe it is actually in the Rocky Mountains. However, it is about 50 kilometers east of them.The city of Denver has a population of about 470 000 people. This makes it the 26th largest city in the United States. The area around Denver has more than 1 600 000 people. City officials are proud of the fact that Denver receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Storms moving east across the country lose much of their strength in the Rockies. So Denver gets only about 3 5 centimeters of rain and snow a year. The nearby mountains, however, get a lot more than that.Denver is the business and marketing center for all the Rocky Mountain area. It has more than 1 500 manufacturing companies. Food processing is the main manufacturing activity. Other factories make equipment for the defense, space, high technology and transportation industries. Gold production is also important. Denver is home to companies that control half the gold produced in the United States.The computer and communications industries have become increasingly important in recent years. Denver has the third highest number of high technology jobs in relation to the population. The area also has become a center for companies that do business in other countries. This is true throughout the western states. In fact, more jobs in the American west are linked to foreign trade than in any other part of the country.Tourism is also an important industry in Denver. For example, the Colorado History Museum shows the history of the native American Indians, gold miners and other people who moved to Colorado. The Denver Museum of Natural History shows Indian objects and examples of local wildlife. Many visitors to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains use Denver's newinternational airport, which opened in 1995. It was the first major new airport built in the United States in 21 years. It cost almost 5 000 million dollars. It is the largest airport in North America, almost 90 000 passengers land at Denver International Airport each day.There is a lot to see and do in Denver. The State Capitol Building is in the center of the city. The top is covered with more than 500 g of gold. On a clear day, a visitor to the Capitol can see for a distance of almost 250 kilometers. 87 years ago, city officials began to purchase land to make sure it would be protected from development. Today, the city owns 8 000 hectares. On this land, Denver has built the largest city park system in the nation. Finally, there's Larama Square. It is a business area that is said to look like Denver of the early 1900s. Larama Square is filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehicles pulled by horses. It is a part of the new Denver that lives in the past.Part V Do you know ...?

My next stop is another of the world's great modern cities.In little more than 200 years, Sydney has gone from being a dumping ground for British convicts to a confident metropolis, with a number of potential treasures I'm keen to see. I've come to Sydney to seek my treasure. To find the treasure that captures the extraordinary history, the spirit of this city and this nation. There are several contenders.The first one is obvious -- The Sydney Opera House. It's the great Australian icon and one of the most celebrated buildings of the 20th century.The Opera House was designed in 1957 by a Danish architect, Jorn Utzon. The Opera House was one of the most memorable buildings of the 20th century. Its forms are so strong. They're like a symbol for the city. These great shells one upon the other, incredibly powerful. The influences are complex. Utzon looked at many things. He'd been to Mexico, seen Mayan architecture. He loved the platform. I'm on the platform now. The shells rise from -- rise from the platform. Below are sort of the service parts of the buildings, and these great steps, again from the great Mayan temples in Mexico. So he's thinking of ancient sacred buildings. Utzon also took inspiration from nature. He needed to make the structure easyto build. His solution was ingenious. The shape of each of these shells originates from one form -- a sphere. If one takes an orange and one cuts it into components, I'm now creating the surface of the shells on a miniscule scale. And these surface shapes of standard geometrical form are the basis of the shell structure of the city Opera House, you see. Incredible this use of nature, use of simple forms, use of powerful elemental geometry, use of modern building materials -- concrete, all very ingenious, to create emblematic building, which sums up the city, which has captured the imagination of the world, which says Sydney.My heart sinks when I enter the Opera House. It seems like another building. The imaginative design of the exterior has not been repeated inside. It's all because in 1966 Uzton walked off the project after rows over the design and escalating budget. The consequences of Uzton's resignation were, well, tragic really. The fact is the relationship between the inside and the outside is, er, what shall one say -- unresolved, unsatisfactory. It's good in parts, but not as good as it ought to be and that's very sad. A masterpiece has been flawed.。
