Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider“ 13” an unlucky number. Some peoplein the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles ontheir birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the groundand pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing on'es path? Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such adisaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big af ter graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to do volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the u niversity. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important for everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose t o major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I can’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies nextweek. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my biggest dream.Audio Track 3-5-10/Audio Track 3-5-11Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from Vancouver, Canada answered our questions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Do you have any international travel experience?Stephanie: Yes, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This jo b gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money, so I won’t have to worry about money for my trip to Europe. Interviewer: Why should we choose you?Stephanie: Because I love to travel!

While Sun-hee and Mike were waiting for him to come home, they talked about Takeshi’s plans for grad school. Takeshi had applied to several graduate programs, but two schools had already rejected him! Mike said that Takeshi was going to hit the road if he didn’t get accepted. When Takeshi got home, he explained that if he didn’t get accepted he was going to travel for a while and then he would apply to graduate school again. He also said that if he was accepted, he was going to become a film director. Takeshi finally opened the letter — and it was good news! Takeshi was going to go to grad school at Columbia!。

My children are five and eleven now. But I still remember when they were young.Ellie: What can I do?Lee: Well, remember that it will pass. … It won’t last forever. Try to be patient.Audio Track 3-3-3/ Audio Track 3-3-4Mandy: My homework assignment is too hard.Mom: What is it?Mandy: I’m doing an oral report on an accomplished woman. I chose Sadako Ogata. I have to present it to the class tomorrow.Mom: Do you know the material?Mandy: I think so.Mom: OK, let’s practice.

When I’m 23, I may come home to look for a job. Most probably in a bank or an accounting firm. After working for 4 to 5 years, I may have some savings to start a family. At the age of 30, I’d like to be a father. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll retire at the age of 50 and travel around the world.Audio Track 3-3-6Hi Jackie,I’m so excited about visiting you! Here are the details. My plane arrives on Friday at 2 p.m. When I get to the airport, I’ll take a taxi, so I’ll arrive at yo ur house at about 3:00. That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had theirtwentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping w ith life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.

Unit 1Passage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things have had a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there withweird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person.Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character? Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asiaand you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’sprobably made me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing howthe other contestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spiteful some peoplecan be just to get what they want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. Ifyou pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life?Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived in Thailand for afamily Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help-you couldn’tnot. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was anincredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedythere is still a huge amount of g kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at Manchester University. She gives advice to school students on choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself. Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s important to look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top univer sities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re ahigh-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a moremainstream career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look at which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…Unit 2Passage1One of the strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I returned by chance to a place where I’d been happy as a child. My husband and I were visiting some friends for the weekend-----they lived about 200 kilometers away. We were driving along when I suddenly saw a church in the distancethat I recognized. My favorite aunt had lived very near it on a farm that my brother and I used to visit once a year with our parents.We were city kids, brought up in the middle of London, and this was a working farm-----the real thing-----with cows in cowsheds, fields with ponds and a muddy yard full of smelly pigs-----we had the run of the whole place-----it was just paradise for us.And then-----there was the food-----home-made jam and bread and cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And my aunt Lottie-----a farmer’s wife-----and her husband, uncle George and their kids, Katie and Ben, our two cousins who my brother and I really got on with. It was heaven that week we used to spend there. They moved from the farm when I was… how old? ----- about 14. So I’d never been back or seen it again.Anyway, there we were, and I’d just seen the church-----, so we turned off and drove down this really narrow lane. And before I knew it we were in front of Aunt Lottie’s farm. The extraordinary thing was that it hadn’t changed------ not one tiny bit.It was a lovely old place with a typical country cottage garden, full of flowers. There were lots of barns and sheds-----they were next to-----next to the farm. And you know, I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I had standing there. It was-----oh, what was it? an incredibly powerful feeling of longing-----nostalgia for the past-----for times I’d been very very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been there for 20 years and I couldn’t go back, so also I had a feeling of huge sadness, that I couldn’t have those times again. And-----at the same time-----great sweetness, because those times had been so happy, so innocent-----because I was a child. So there was this extraordinary mix-----of longing, sadness and sweetness, all at the same time. It was the strangest feeling I’ve ever had.Passage2ScriptInterviewer: So what's your first memory of school, Kevin?Kevin: I was really looking forward to school, I remember that, I just couldn't wait. Yeah, Johnny, my brother, was a year older than me and he seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart shoes. And I wanted to go to school and be grown-up too. I don't remember much of the first day actually, apart from this little boy lying on the floor and screaming and screaming and me thinking what a baby he was.Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat rack with all our coats. And I was looking for my peg which had a little picture of an elephant next to it. I remember I was crying because I wanted to go home and I couldn't get my coat on. I was crying so much and then the teacher came and helped me.Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best friend at school?Kevin: Oh, yeah, well, Steve, I remember him, because he's still my best friend!Interviewer: Still your best friend!Eva: That's so great!Kevin: Yeah, we didn't know each other before we started school but we became really good friends and so did our mums. Our families ended up going on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the teachers used to get very cross with us. But we were just having fun.Interviewer: Cool! And what about you, Eva?Eva: My best friend was a girl called Robina. She had short blond hair, I remember I thought she looks like an angel. We sat next to each other and held hands and played fairies in the playground. She left in Year 3 and I cried for days.Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the day you left school? How was that?Eva: I had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking home with this amazing feeling of freedom, you know, no more rules, no more bossy teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I'd had some good times. I was in a group of girls who were so supportive of each other.Kevin: I couldn't wait to leave, I was counting the days.I just wanted to get a job, get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went out to celebrate with a couple of my mates and--had a very good time!Unit 6Passage1A US Airways jet landed in the icy Hudson River in New York this afternoon after apparently hitting a flock of geese.Miraculously,no one was killed and there were few injuries.James Moore,our correspondent at the scene,has more.An Airbus 330 took off from La Guardia Airport.New York,at 3:26pm this afternoon,bound for Charlotte Airport in North Carolina.It had 155 people aboard.Thirty to 45 seconds after take-off,a flock of geese apparently flew into the plane,causing it to lose power in both engines and one engine to catch fire.Without power the plane was unable to return to La Guardia Airport and the pilot decided to land in the Hudson River in order to avoid crashing in a populated area. Two minutes later the plane made a successful landing in the Hudson and passengers were able to climb out through the emergency exits.The plane immediately started taking in water but fortunately water taxis and boats that had seen the crash were waiting by the aircraft. Passengers and crew stood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into the boats.Over the next hour,as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane,including a baby,were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold,Their injuries are not reported to be serious.One of the passengers,Alberto Panero,said people had bugun praying as the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger.Aged 57,he has 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twice to make sure it was empty before climbing out.He has already been described as a hero.The Governer of New York,David patersm,said at a news confe rence this afternoon,“I believe now we've had a miracle on the Hudson.This pilot,somehow without any engines,was somehaw able to land this plane and perhaps without any injuris to the passengers.”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not break up when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxis and boats.Passage 2Streets Full of HeroesA:Hi,we are asking people who their personal hero is.

(完整word版)英语高级视听说 听力原文 Unit 3 New orleans is sinking
Unit 3 New orleans is sinkingFor 300 years, the sea has been closing in on New Orleans. As the coastal erosion continues, it is estimated the city will be off shore in 90 years. Even in good weather, New Orleans is sinking. As the city begins what is likely to be the biggest demolition project in U.S. history, the question is, can we or should we put New Orleans back together again?Life has been returning to high and dry land on Bourbon Street, but to find the monumental challenge facing the city you have to visit neighborhoods you have never heard of. On Lizardi Street, 60 Minutes took a walk with the men in charge of finishing what Katrina started.Correspondent Scott Pelley reports.Before Katrina, "There would be noise and activity and families and people, and children, and, you know, I haven't seen a child in a month here," says Greg Meffert, a city official who, with his colleague Mike Centineo, is trying to figure out how much of the city will have to be demolished.Meffert, who is in charge of city planning, says it is "very possible" up to 50,000 houses will have to be bulldozed. Right now, most of the homes in the city are uninhabitable.Meffert faces a difficult task. Every time he goes to a house site here, he says, "It's one more knife in me that says, 'She did another one. She did another one,'" explains Meffert, "she" meaning Hurricane Katrina.When you walk through these neighborhoods and you see the houses, you get a sense of the pain of the individual families. But you don't get a sense of what has happened to the city of New Orleans itself.It is estimated that there were 200,000 homes in New Orleans, and 120,000 of them were damaged by the flood.The part of the city known as the lower Ninth Ward received some of the heaviest flooding. The houses are splintered block after block after block, almost as if the city had been carpet-bombed in war.Meffert says that before the storm, New Orleans had a population of470,000-480,000 people. Realistically, he thinks that half of those residents won't be coming back.The possessions of thousands of families, the stuff collected over lifetimes is suddenly garbage, clawed up into mountains in city parks. With so much gone already, should New Orleans pick up right where it was?"We should be thinking about a gradual pullout of New Orleans, and starting to rebuild people's homes, businesses and industry in places that can last more than 80 years," says Tim Kusky, a professor of earth sciences at St. Louis University.Kusky talks about a withdrawal of the city and explains that coastal erosion was thrown into fast forward by Katrina. He says by 2095, the coastline will pass the city and New Orleans will be what he calls a "fish bowl.""Because New Orleans is going to be 15 to 18 feet below sea level, sitting off the coast of North America surrounded by a 50- to 100-foot-tall levee system to protect the city," explains Kusky.He says the city will be completely surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico just 90 years from now.Since this story aired on Nov. 20, there has been considerable discussion about whether New Orleans really is sinking, including on CBS News' blog, Public Eye."That's the projection, because we are losing land on the Mississippi Delta at a rate of 25 to 30 square miles per year. That's two acres per hour that are sinking below sea level," says Kusky.That process could only be slowed, in theory, by massive restoration of wetlands. In the meantime, while Kusky's advice is to head for the hills, some New Orleans residents are hoping to head home.Vera Fulton has lived most of her 81 years on Lizardi Street and returned to her home recently for the first time since being evacuated."When they say 'storm,' I leave. I can't swim and I can't drink it. So what I do, I leave," says Vera, who has lost her home to two hurricanes.Vera is intent on coming back. "I don't have no other home, where I'mThree generations of Fultons, Vera's son Irvin Jr., his wife Gay and their son Irvin, 3rd, live around Lizardi Street.Irvin says his house is "just flat" and he didn't have insurance.That's the dilemma. The only thing they have left is land prone to disaster. They want to rebuild, and the city plans to let them.At Vera's house, Mike Centenio, the city's top building official, told 60 Minutes homes can go up as long as they meet what is called the "100-year flood level."The federal government had set a flood-level, but didn't figure on a levee failure that would flood parts of the city.The official level is several feet off the ground. If people meet the requirement, they can rebuild their homes, despite the fact that we saw, for example, a refrigerator lifted to the top of a carport by the floodwaters.Asked whether allowing people to rebuild makes sense, Centenio says it is "going to take some studying."Right now, he says the flood level requirement is the law.Twelve weeks after the storm hit, no one has an answer to where people should go. An estimated 80,000 homes had no insurance, and for now, the biggest grant a family can get from the federal government is $26,200. Those without flood insurance face an uncertain road ahead, trying to piece their lives and homes back together."I don't think any of us get to be made whole. I don't know of anybody that's even getting back to where they were. It's just a matter of how much you lost," says Meffert.No one wants to risk more losses until the levees are fixed but there is not a lot of confidence in that. There's evidence some of the levee walls may have failed from bad design or lousy workmanship.Fixing them is up to Colonel Richard Wagenaar, who told 60 Minutes, that by next summer, the levees will withstand a Category 3 storm. But for a Category 5 storm, Congress would have to double the levee height to 30Col. Wagenaar says building a 30-foot flood control system around the city could take five to ten years, and cost billions of dollars.Asked whether he would live in New Orleans if the levees were restored to pre-Katrina levels, Col. Wagenaar said he would, after a long pause."There's a lot of long pauses in things I think about these days," Wagenaar added.Another thing that gives you pause is the fact that one of the world's largest pumping systems can't keep the city dry with broken levees.60 Minutes was there in September during Hurricane Rita. Crews were fighting with everything they had, cooling a pump with a hose and a coat hanger. When the station flooded during Katrina, Gerald Tilton dove under water to open valves.Since then, Tilton and his men have been living at the station. "Most of us, our homes have been destroyed but a large number of us are still here doing the job that we get paid to do," says Tilton.Tilton says he hasn't seen his home since the storm hit and only took one thing from the house when he left: his diploma. "I graduated from Tulane last year and that was the one thing that I wanted. I know it might sound crazy."But sharp minds and heroism couldn't stop a second flood.It took another two weeks to dry out and count the losses. Now, inspectors with laptops are identifying ruined houses."Every house in New Orleans is loaded into this database," explains Centineo. The reports are sent instantly to a computer at city hall, where the database is linked to aerial images of every address, both before and after.When the reports are in, they will know how many billions it will take to rebuild, but not where that money is coming from.Mike Centineo showed us, at his house, that you can't appreciate the loss until you walk through the door. He lost pretty much everything in his home. "We've lost a lot. What hurts is family photos. They went under water and I pulled them out to try to salvage what I could," Centineo says.Centineo says he understands, probably better than any building official ever has, what the victims of Katrina are going through. "I'm one of them, that's true, I'm one of them."He is one of about 400,000 people still unable to come home. That's the worst part now, the deflation of the Big Easy.There are too few people to pay taxes or keep businesses going. The world's largest domed stadium doesn't have a football team; In New Orleans, these days, not even the Saints go marching in.Meffert has some clear feelings on whether the nation should commit billions of dollars and several years to protect the city."Is it commit or invest? I mean this is the thing that that people miss. The country has to decide whether it really is what we tell the world what we are. Or are we just saying that? Because if we are that powerful, if we are that focused, if we are that committed to all of our citizens, then there is no decision to make. Of course you rebuild it," says Meffert.。

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, orput a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It alsocaused the worst landslides in US historysince 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

Unit 3—Conversation 1Kate: So, what did you think of the movie?Mark: It was good but I thought it was too long.Kate: Yes, me too.Kate: Hey, where's my bike? I don't believe it! It's gone!Mark: It was next to mine, you chained it up!Kate: Someone's stolen it! Oh, how could they!Mark: Oh, Kate!Kate: How could someone have done this! The creep!Mark: It's a really mean thing to do, steal a bike.Kate: It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune —I don't have the money to buy another one. Mark: Listen, I'll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don't you go into that shop and seeif they've seen anything suspicious? I'll be back in a minute.Kate: OK.Kate: Well?Ma rk: No luck. What did they say in the shop?Kate: I asked the shopkeeper if she'd seen anything —Mark: And?Kate: She said she hadn't. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police. But according toher, bikes get stolen all the time around here.Mark: Listen, let's get back so you can report it.Kate: I've got no bike. I'm just so upset!Mark: It's not far to college. Come on!Unit 3--Conversation 2Mark: So did you ring the police?Kate: Yes. I went to the police station to report it.Mark: What did they say?Kate: No one's found it. This woman said that Oxford has the fifth highest rate of bike theft in the country!Mark: You're joking!Kate: That's what she said.Mark: What else did she say?Kate: She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back —the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and then people find them and report them.Mark: So you might get it back.Kate: I hope so, Mark, I really do. It's just too much, you know? But ... um ... what else? She told me to go to this sale they have of abandoned bikes. She thinks I might find it there. But it's only every two months, I can't wait till then! Honestly, Mark, I'm really furious!Mark: You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.Kate: Hello ... Speaking ... You found it! Where was it? Is it ...? Oh, that's fantastic news! There was a lamp and a basket on it ... Right ... OK, thank you, I'll be in tomorrow morning to pick it up. Unbelievable! This guy found it!Mark: Brilliant! Was that the police?Kate: Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside this guy's backyard.Mark: That's so strange!Kate: The lamp's been stolen and the basket.Mark: Forget about it! You're lucky to get it back!Unit 3-Outside viewPart 1Presenter Dodgy deals aren't the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your doorstep presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home. I'm joined now by Ian Holt, from Thames Valley Police. Ian, just outline for me what does distraction burglary actually entail? Ian Holt Well basically what happens is, somebody uses a story to get inside somebody's house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.Presenter And what are the different techniques that are commonly used?Ian Holt Well basically they er ... the people that commit this crime move from area to area, er ... they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may be er, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property. Something that indicates that there's a vulnerable person in there. Usually, it's an elderly person that lives there.Presenter Is this quite a common problem now?Ian Holt It is becoming more common. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary. But, it... there's a slight increase this year over last year's figures.Presenter OK, you mentioned some of the victims being elderly. What other people are targeted? Ian Holt Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there's such a thing as a, a victim for this type of crime, is a white female aged 81 years.Part 2Presenter And what about things that people can do to prevent it happening, basically?Ian Holt Well the things they can do are very, very simple. The difficulty comes, is that some of these people, er ... it's very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the three things we, we always say is: stop, chain and check. And that's stop before you open the door to make sure who's on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven't got a chain, fit a chain to the door, or a door bar if you've got difficulty in handling a chain with arthritic fingers. But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from the Water Board or from utilities. They may say they're from a charity or even from local authority. But generally, a utility will be in uniform. Ask for their identification. A genuine person will not mind you doing that and will wait until you can check them out. If you do need to check them, phone the number on, on your last bill. What won't happen is that if it is a bogus caller, they will become unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.Presenter OK and there's also a couple of gadgetsnew on the market that also can help as well. Just talkus through that.Ian Holt Certainly, yes. The ... a spy er ... viewer isfairly standard. But for elderly who may have pooreyesight there's a spyscope which actually makes it alot easier for them to see who's outside. As Imentioned before about the door bar, again, it can beeasier to apply than the chain. Very reasonable priceder, and something that is fairly new ... as I mentionedbefore it's very difficult for some of these people toremember what they have to do when they go to thedoor and that's why they become victims. And thisitem is called a Memo Minder and actually you canrecord a message on there and it's nice to have agrand-daughter or somebody to record a message, butevery time the person approaches the door it remindsthem with a voice to say "Put your chain on."Unit 3-Listening inPassage 1Patrick I read a funny story today in the paper - true story.Steve Go on, then.Patrick OK. This 72-year-old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The man then bit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve He bit the policeman?Patrick Yes - you have to remember, he was 72.Steve I'd forgotten that.Patrick Problem was, it didn't hurt the policeman at all, 'cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before he left home.Steve Very funny!Patrick And the moral of the story is -Steve Always remember to wear your false teeth if you're going to bite someone.Patrick That's good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let's see ... yeah ... this guy... this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America -1 can't remember where exactly -anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he'd stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, "Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I'm wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I'd taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you."Steve He was probably telling the truth.Patrick He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call - the guy was ringing from a phone booth - and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve That's good. Stupid guy! I've got another true story ... This - this - old guy was in court for some crime - and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said, "My clientpleads not guilty." The man suddenly woke up, but wasn't sure what was happening. He jumped up and shouted, "I plead guilty! I plead guilty!"Patrick So what happened?Steve The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick That's the best, I think.Passage 2Presenter You're listening to Kevin Fallen and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone - and it's a very frightening experience. So it's positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a mugger and defeated them - especially when that person is a woman. Anna Black was attacked by a mugger. She's here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?Anna Just over a week ago. The day it happened,I was coming home from work a bit later than usual -1 think it was about seven. I was on my mobile phone, talking to my husband.Presenter And it was still daylight?Anna Yes. Anyway, suddenly, someone pulled my hair from behind - and at the same time they grabbed my mobile phone. Now, I'm a karate black belt -Presenter Really!Anna Yes, I practise three times a week - so I'm ready for situations like this.Presenter I bet you are.Anna Yes, I can react very fast. So as soon as this guy grabbed me, I did what you're told to do in these situations.Presenter And what's that?Anna I fell backwards onto him.Presenter You fell backwards onto him!Anna Yeah! I'm tall and quite heavy - so we both fell to the ground together.Presenter Goodness!Anna I er, yeah -1 was ready to hit him but then next thing I knew, two men had seized the guy. They were driving past and they, they stopped to help. They were big strong guys. They called the police who came in five minutes.Presenter So the mugger was arrested?Anna Yes, he was.Presenter Do you think, if that hadn't happened, you could have injured him?Anna Oh, I'd like to think so. I'm a black belt,that's what I'm trained to do.Presenter Well, it's great to hear of women coping well in situations like this. Perhaps we should all learn karate.Anna I think it's a good idea to have some kind of defence training. Yes, especially if you live in an area that isn't very safe.。

国际交流英语视听说3听力原文英文回答：This is an excellent question, as it demonstrates a strong interest in the complexities of international communication and the role that English plays in it. As such, I will do my best to provide a comprehensive response that delves into the various aspects of this topic.First and foremost, it is important to recognize that English has become the global lingua franca, meaning that it is the language that is most widely used for communication between people from different countries. This is due to a number of factors, including the historical spread of the British Empire, the rise of the United States as a global superpower, and the increasing interconnectedness of the world through trade and technology. As a result, English is now used in a wide variety of contexts, from business and diplomacy to education and entertainment.However, it is important to note that English is notthe only language that is used for international communication. In fact, there are many other languages that are also widely spoken around the world, such as Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, and French. These languages are oftenused in specific regions or for specific purposes, and they can play an important role in facilitating communication between people from different cultures.In order to be effective in international communication, it is important to be able to speak and understand at least one other language in addition to English. This will allow you to communicate with a wider range of people and to participate more fully in the global community. There are many different ways to learn a new language, and there are many resources available to help you get started.In addition to language skills, there are a number of other factors that can contribute to effectiveinternational communication. These include cultural awareness, sensitivity, and empathy. It is important to beaware of the different cultural norms and values that exist around the world, and to be respectful of the ways in which other people communicate. It is also important to be sensitive to the different ways in which people may express themselves, and to be empathetic to the challenges thatthey may face.By developing your language skills, cultural awareness, and empathy, you can become more effective in communicating with people from different cultures. This will not onlyhelp you to build relationships and bridge cultural divides, but it will also help you to succeed in the global marketplace.中文回答：英语是国际交流的通用语言，在世界各地被广泛使用。

But I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it off with the secretary of the art history department. She’ll see that I get it.M: Ok. Oh I almost forgot. I’m a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one moreh umanities course to graduate. I’ve noticed that you are teaching a course on landscapepainters next semester. Could you tell me a little bit about it?W: Sure. Well, it’s a course for non-art majors. We’ll be looking at several different painters and exam ining their works.

And, mm, he’d have to know how to work with people and all about the company.W: Mmm.M: Y es, I, er, should think a manager must know, er, something about all aspects of the work. W: Y es, that’s right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Y oung men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose. But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I’d like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.W: Y ou know the charm of travelling abroad disappea rs when you’ve got to work hard.

I’d like to know if I’d have to sign a contract, what the salary is and what the prospects are.W: With our scheme, Mr. Smith, there is no contract involved.

Don’t young people lose respect for their parents because of that?M: I don’t th ink so. My parents still give me a lot of advice, bur after I turned 18 they never tried to force me to do things I didn’t want to do. I think I respect them more for this, not less.W: Y ou seem very close to your parents.M: I am. I know a lot of my frie nds feel their parents don’t understand them, but I’m lucky—I get along really well with mine. What about you?W: I love my parents, but we don’t always get along very well with each other. They try to control me too much.M: How come?W: Well, family v alue is very important in China. It’s traditionally the parents’ duty to look after their children, no matter how old they are. Y our parents treat you as an adult; mine treat meM: But they let you come to America to study on your own.W: Yes, but I had to spend about 3 years persuading them!M: Oh, really?

It’s next to the church. M: Got it. Now, can you recommend any nice restaurants?W: Yeah. The Tacos serves excellent Mexican food.M: Well, where’s that?W: Well, starting from the movie theatre, go south on Pine Street, cross 2nd Street, and drive to 3rd Street.

I think it’s open weekdays from 10:30 in the morning to 11:30 at night, but it stays open until midnight on the weekends.M: Okay, I think I’ve driven by there before. Great, thanks a lot.26.

What’s your name?M: Jim.W: W hat’s your problem?M: Er...well I’m er...beginning to lose hair. Er, I went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I could do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.W: And how old are you?M: Me? I’m twenty-eight.W: And are losing a lot of hair then?M: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of myW: Does that really worry you, Jim?M: Well, I don’t like it. It’s old, you know, looks old. I don’t want to look like a middle-aged man at twenty-eight. And I wonder if there is some special shampoo I should use, and if you could tell me one that I should buy, something like that, you know, to stop it getting worse.W: Well, you know, Jim, to be h onest with you there’s not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I’m afraid. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to accept. Some men find it more difficult to accept baldness than others. There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that’s don’t try to comb your hair over the bald or thin patch.Whatever you do, don’t comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig, that is, the false hairpiece. Don’t let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband is bald and I think it really suits him.29. What’s probably the reason for the man’s baldness?30. What does the woman suggest to the man?31. Where do you think this conversation takes place?32. What does the woman think of her husband’s baldness?Conversation 10M: Sara, I’ve heard that you want to move into a homestay family. Is that correct?W: Y es, that’s right. I’ve been staying with my aunt. Now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt needs the room for him.M: Oh, that’s bad luck. Well, I’ll need to get some particulars first. Sara, what’s your full name? W: Sara Lim, and that’s Sara without the “h”at the end.M: Mmm. How old are you?W: 23, only just. It was my birthday on the 21st of August.M: Happy Birthday for yesterday. How long have you been in Australia?W: A year in Adelaide and s ix months in Sydney. I prefer Sydney, and I’ve got more friends here. M: What’s your address at your aunt’s house?W: Flat one, 539 Forest Road, Canterbury. And the post code is 2036.M: OK. What are you studying now?W: I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next year.M: That sounds good, but it’ll take you a long time. When would you like to move out from your aunt’s?W: My cousin arrives on Friday morning, so I’d better be out on Thursday.M: Is that the seventh of September?W: Yes, that’s right.33. Why does the woman want to move into a homestay family?34. How long has the woman been in Australia?35. What does the woman want to study?。

So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't reallyknow the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis:I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as "double-dating". Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is "adult dating". They ski together and they dine together, either at restaurants or in each other's homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a "blind date", that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.(1) early (2) late teens (3) Double-dating (4) Group dating (5) marry(6) Adult dating (7) hardly (8) Blind date (9) never / notTask 3: An American WeddingAmerican weddings are not always the same. I'd like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and when the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, wesent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me away to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next person to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.3-2-1-8-4-7-6-9-5IV.

Let‟s TalkOnline datingOnline dating is a dating system which allows people to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a romantic relationship. Online dating services usually provide matchmaking over the Internet through the use of personal computers or cell phones.Online dating sites generally require applicants to provide personal information before they can search the database for other individuals using criteria they set, such as age, gender, race, religion and location. Most sites allow members to upload photos of themselves and browse those of others. Sites may offer additional services, such as online chatting, telephone chatting, and message boards.Some sites provide free registration, but may offer services which require a monthly fee. For example, they may offer full access to profiles, but provide additional services for pay, such as putting paying users' profiles at the top of the list, making their profiles appear several times in different places in the search results and giving them a more advanced search engine to work with. In one real example, free users may only search for persons of specified age, gender and city, while subscribers may also search for such information as height, weight and interests. Other dating sites depend on advertising for their income. In the recent years such sites have become increasingly popular.1.B2.B3.C4.D5.AVI.

"Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows.

He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom's vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, "Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife thatyou will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?" The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, "Yes, I will." Then the groom whispered to the minister, "I thought we had a deal." The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, "She made me a much better offer."1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FSpeakingMutual LoveJill: You know, R obert, we‟ve been dating a long time now.Robert: Yeah.
