He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.[ Knock on door ]Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye．Nick: Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?Talia: I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again:When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?Nick: I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．Talia: Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch．Talia: Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.Nick: Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.Talia: Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.Nick: Right. And she explains that I, II have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.Talia: OK. Can you think of anything else?Nick: Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．Talia: A commercial? What commercial?Nick: I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Video2Talia: Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear mo re about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．Nick: OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…Jackie: So, you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick: Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie: Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.Nick: Cool!Jackie: In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?Nick: Sure.Jackie: OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day.Nick: So far, So good.Jackie: OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”Nick: Uh—huh.Jackie: And you say, “That’s me. ”Or something like that．Nick: Right．Jackie: And then the kid says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?” And you say, “Kicks. What else?”Nick: That’s it?Jackie: That’s it.Nick: So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?Jackie: That’s all you have to do.Talia: That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lu nch. Then she edited the tape, So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.Nick: Oh. wow!Unit 2 A Hot LeadVideo1Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.Tony: Come in. What’s going on?Talia: I just sp oke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn’t take a bribe. It just sounds that way.Tony: Well, what does you r audio expert say?Talia: I forgot to tell you. It‘s definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.Tony: Bu t I don’t get it. Who’s behind this?Talia: One of Nick’s teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick’s shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.Tony: Of course! The bottom line is… being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.Talia: Still. I can’t imagine…Tony: OK. So, now, what’s you r plan?Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won’t run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you’re not emotionally involve d in this story.Talia: Me?

I care about… I c are about your future.Nick: So do I !Talia: Good, you wore a tie..Nick: Yeah, your message said, wear a tie and a jacket. You look nice, by the way. Talia: Thanks. So do you.Nick:What’s that?Talia: Here. You have to put these on.Nick:I’m sorry. Did I miss something here? Is it… is it Halloween? Are you really going to make me put these on?Talia:Yes. And that’s how you’re going to hear their conversation. There’s an earphone in the wig.Nick: Whose conversation?Talia:Jackie and Dean’s. They’re having dinner here. Let’s go inside.Video2Talia: So, as I was saying, I have a feeling Dean and Jackie are going to talk about you as soon as they get here.Nick: Really?Talia: Yup. And ass we have to do is record their conversation. We just need to plant this at their table.Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?Talia: You forget --- I’m a researcher… I asked the maitre d’. That’s their table over there. I’ll be right back.Nick:OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while yo u plant the mike.Talia: Good. Just cough or something to warn me if you see them.Nick: OK. Hurry up.[Nick coughs]Talia: Whew! That was close. Here. Look at the menu. We should order.Nick: Right, though I’m not really hungry.Talia: Neither am I.Dean: One more.Nick: Don’t look now, but here comes Jackie.Unit 6 Dean’s Double CrossVideo1Jackie: You are not going to believe what happened.Dean: I’ve been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven’t you called me back?Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk…Jackie:Dean, don’t interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So…Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something IMPORTANT. We may have a slight problem here…Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!Dean: OK. I give up. What?Jackie: So this woman---Amy---and I were talking when a friend of hers showed up.Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.Dean: So?Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.Jackie:I know that and you know that, but she doesn’t know…Dean: Hw does she know about…Jackie:I’m scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.Dean: Newsline?Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I’ve been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I’m the one who’s behind all this. And he even knows about you.Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea!Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!Video2Jackie:OK. I’ll calm down. But, Dean, I’m worried. I could get into real trouble. Dean: You? Why, I’m the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.Dean: Big deal.Jackie:What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended!Dean: Yeah. Yean. You’re a great actress. I know.Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters? Dean: Byron Walters?Jackie:Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who’s going to make me a star!Dean: Oh, him…Jackie: You said to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.Dean: Un, I forgot to tell you. There is no Byron Walters. He quit the business. Jackie:But he was going to give me my big break, the break that’s going to make me a star.Dean: Sorry, Jackie.Jackie:No, you’re not. I don’t think you’re sorry at all---now. but you will be! You tricked me, just like you tricked Nick Crawford. I don’t have to stand for this.Video1Nick: I can’t believe it! They admitted everything.Talia: And we got it all on tape.Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me ?Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I mentioned Kicks shoes. I knew she would tell Dean about it as soon as she could.Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me. Talia:Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.Nick:Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…Talia:I guess you’re right.Nick:Why don’t you finish dinner?Talia:… But if w e leave now, Tony will still be in the office.Nick:Look, Talia. This whole thing is about to be clear up. Why don’t we just take a little time now to enjoy ourselves?Talia: Of course. You’re right. Sorry, Nick. And besides, this is Valentino’s. And I am with a star!Video2Nick: I have a confession to make.Talia: What? You have a confession to make? I thought this whole was over.Nick: No, no. It’s not about that. It’s about… .Talia: Us? Us, as in you and me.Nick: Yes. Do you remember that class we took together in college?Talia: Of course, I remember it. I remember it well.Nick:And do you remember when we were studying together in the library…Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer. In fact, we had split up by mid-semester.Nick: You are kidding. I didn’t know. Well, I guess I should’ve…Talia: I’m not seeing anyone now, though, you know.Nick: Well, then…Waiter:Tutto bene? Is everything all right? May I get you uh, un café? Te? Cappuccino?Talia:I’ll have a cappuccino.Nick: Two.Video1Talia:I’m too late, right? You already aired the story about Nick on the evening news? Tony: No, I decided not to. When I hadn’t heard from you, I decided to wait.Talia: Oh, gosh, what a relief.Tony: As a matter of fact, I was just going to call you.Talia: Well, I am so glad you waited, Tony ... Tah dah!Tony: So that’s the tape?Talia: Yup. This is the tape that will get Nick’s name cleared.Tony: OK. Let’s hear it. I have a tape player here somewhere.Amy: So, tell me. Tell me.Talia: It was perfect. I got it all on tape. Jackie said that she had posed as a Kicks executive ...Amy: No!Talia: Yes! And they both admitted that there was no Kicks!Amy: Get out of here!Talia: And Dean actually said that he had sent the tape to us ...Amy: Unbelievable!Talia: Wait till you hear them. Hearing is believing!Tony: Talia, let me have the tape.Talia: Oh, sure. Here. Oh, this is so exciting.Video2Talia: Here it is, the tape that will get Nick reinstated on the team. Just a minute. I must not have rewound it... OK, now listen... What’s going on? Is this tape player working? Tony: It’s been working just fine. In fact, I just had it cleaned last week.Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on.Tony: Did you press “play” and “record” together?Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.Tony: You probably just pressed “play.”Talia: This is a disaster.Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way.Amy: Poor Talia.Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?Unit 9 A Canceled CelebrationVideo1Talia: Who is it?Nick: Nick. Here I am! Ready to celebrate.Talia: Didn’t you get my message?Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?Talia: Yeah…..No…..Nick, I don’t know how to tell you…Nick: What are you talking about?Talia:The tape. I mean, There is no tape. I never recorded Jackie and Dean’s conversation.Nick: Yes, There it is. I was there.Talia:No, I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.Nick: Oh, no!Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence! Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourself.Talia: Well, I’m supposed to be a professional! And I want to be a reporter!Video2Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I'm an athlete. Iknow. You just have to forget what’s have done and go on.Talia: Y ou’re right. What’s done is done. Or in this case, what’s not done is done. Nick: Look, Talia, i f you hadn’t done such a g ood job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.Talia: How can you stay so positive?Nick:I don’t know. It’s just my nature.Talia:Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my p lace. She’ll be a good researcher.Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.Talia: Y es, they are. Nick, they’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is very wise woman. She always told the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10 Jack’s Big SceneVideo1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Unti l you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick:It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough.Talia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It's amazing how easily you can get people’s addresses these days. Oh, hello, Jackie: Nick! Remember me?Nick: I certainly do.Talia: What are you doing here?Jackie: Do you have a video camera?Talia: Yes.Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous?Talia: What's the catch?Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.Video2Jackie:I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?Talia: You look fine. Really.Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure! Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company ...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement.Talia: And did he?Jackie:Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Gower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just - found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.Talia: I see.Jackie:Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.Unit 11 Hard EvidenceVideo1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean:Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that. Dean:That lying…Nick:Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard e vidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach:I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry you had to go through all of this.Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach:Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour—you’ll be there, right?Nick:Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to.Video2Amy: You must be very happy.Nick:I really am. My name has been cleared. I’m really relieved. This has been a nightmare!Tony:Now that the truth has come out, how about giving Newsline an exclusive interview?Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview. Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’t let your emotions get in the way of your job. Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12 Just Being HonestVideo1Announcer on TV:Glitter … the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile.Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could youturn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn UP the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You remember! The day when you recognized Jackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it DOES seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know. Like, now you can see Jackie Bishop on TV all the time!Nick: Yup, in that ridiculous toothpaste commercial. Well, I guess things have worked out for her.Patty: Seems so. And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right? I mean, you DID score the winning goal in the qualifying match.Nick: Yes, but unfortunately, we DIDN’T make it to the finals.Patty:No, but there’s always next time.Nick: That’s right, there’s always next time …Patty: Oh, you know who else I see on TV a lot now? That reporter who broke the story. What’s her name again? Talia something?Nick: Talia Santos. Yeah, I heard she’s been offered a job at a different news show. Patty:You don’t look very happy about it.Nick: Well, we’ve both been so busy… she’s been working really har d. I haven’t had achance to see her much lately. And now she’s going to be moving.Patty: It sounds like you need to speak with her.Nick: You’re right, Patty. I’ll see you later.Patty: Bye, Nick. Hey! Let me know how things turn out.Video2Talia: Nick! Hi! I’ve been meaning to call you.Nick:Oh, hi. Well, Amy called me. She told me the news. She said she’s got your job as a researcher.Talia:That’s right. Isn’t it great?Nick: Yeah, yeah ... she told me the news about you. When are you moving?Talia: Not until next week.Nick: Oh. Is there somewhere we can go for a few minutes?Talia: Sure. Here, come in here.Nick: So Amy told me you got an offer from Newsbeat. Where are they? Atlanta? Talia: No, Chicago.Nick: Right, Chicago. Anyway, she said they want you to start right away.Talia:True. But Nick, I …Nick: Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.Talia:OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.Nick:I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?Nick:What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.Talia: Good. Because THIS is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I t urned Newsbeatdown. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words ... I just made a fool of myself.Talia:No. As usual, you were just being honest. It’s one of the qualities I like most about you.。

大学英语视听说4全部答案
Unit1Hello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Unit2Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you’ll find it interesting how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. Y ou’ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year.If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they’re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper thanbig-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy “outfits”. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories.If you can’t afford expensive clothes, you can spend money on accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags. Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.Unit3A natural disaster is the consequence of a hazardous event, occurring when human activities are affected by adverse natural phenomena such as flood, drought, hailstorm, heat wave, forest fore, hurricanes or typhoons, tornado, tsunami, landsides and mudslides, or volcanic eruption. The resulting deaths or property damages depend on the human ability to resist the disasters.Sometimes two seemingly different disasters may be related to each other. For example, an undersea earthquake may result in a tsunami. While there is a long dry spell in one area, there may be a great flood in another. It is necessary for human beings to understand and combat natural disasters.A drought is a long-lasting weather pattern consisting of dry conditions with very little or no precipitation. During this period, food and water supplies can run low, and other condition, such as famine, can result. Drought can last for several years and are particularly damaging in areas in which the residents depend on agriculture for survival.A flood follows too much rain or water in a location, and could be the result of many different conditions. Floods can be caused by heavy rainfall from a storm, including thunderstorms, rapid melting of a large amounts of snow, or rivers which swell from too much precipitation upstream, causing widespread damage to areas downstream. Another possible cause of a flood is the bursting of man-made dams.Unit4Lillian: Mr. Baxter, you have worked in the company for five years, and you manage everything here smoothly, like a clock. Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Unit5Kathy: Well, now that everybody I here, let’s call the meeting to order. Today we have to discuss the operation of our software development department. We’re all aware that nowadays market competition is becoming more intense than ever before. If we want to keep our competitive edge, the only way is to offer excellent and considerate service to our customer and, at the same time, lower our prices. So, what I’m thinking is, maybe we could outsource the software side of out business to another company. But what impact will ithave on our engineers? It’s a big problem. Mm, I’d be interested to know your thoughts, Warton.W arton: I totally agree with you.Kathy: Could you go into more detail about your opinion?W arton:I think that outsourcing this part of our operation to another company certainly makes a lot sense. Our software engineers ate getting a bit too old,and their technology is a bit out of date. Worse still, their salaries are quitehigh. Many professional software-designing companies are offering betterproducts at lower rates. With outsourcing, we can give some of theengineers the sack.Jennifer: Sorry to interrupt you. Coming from the PR department, I look at this issue from a different perspective. I think we should consider all sides of thisissue before we make a decision.Kathy: Jennifer, I’d be interested t o knot your view too.Jennifer: I think as a large company we should consider not only customers and prices, but also our employees. Our workers have contributed a lot to ourcompany. Some of them even started working here when our companyopened. I hope we can find a solution that won’t require us t o lay off ourloyal and trust employees.Kathy: I’m very much impressed by what you said. We’d better give this issue more careful consideration.Unit6Thanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,” stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers.It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious people tended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once a toilet had been flushed.There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn’t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started.Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”。

U 2 Listening 1A Student PresentationTeacher: OK, class, let’s get started with the first presentation. Sompel has prepared a short presentation about his home country of Bhutan. Go ahead, Sompel.Sompel: Thanks. Um, hi, everybody! You know that my name is Sompel, but you may not know that I’m from Bhutan. Bhutan is a small country—high in the Himalaya Mountains—between Indiaand China. In our language, Bhutan is known as Druk Yul, which in English is land, land of the thunder dragon. The dragon is even displayed on our flag. For many years, my country was isolated from the world, partly due to its geography—it’s surrounded by high mountains—but also because of government policies.Our government had always been a, an absolute monarchy, I mean, government headed by a king with unlimited power. Anyway, until very recently, Bhutan had no electricity, no cars or trucks, no telephones, and no postal service. You may be surprised to learn that in Bhutan people have only had television since 1999. It was the last country on Earth to get it. You may be wondering: Why did Bhutan reject the modern world for so long?Well, the government was trying to protect the people from negative influences such as high crime rates, youth violence, and pollution. But the king has admitted that the policy of isolation had many negative consequences. For example, the education system definitely fell behind. Some people never learned to read and write. Then, one of our kings began opening up Bhutan to the outside world, and our current king has continued the process. There are new roads, schools, and health clinics. The king doesn’t want to open up the country all at once to the outside world and risk ruining it. He wants our country’s development to be guided by, now let me think, oh, yes, Gross National Happiness.Teacher: Sompel, sorry to interrupt, before you continue, could you define Gross National Happiness for the class, please?Sompel: Um, sure. How should I put it? Well, you’ve probably heard of Gross National Product, which is a phrase that refers to the dollar value of all the goods and services produced by a countryover a period of time. It’s one way of measuring a country’s success. But Gross National Happiness is different. Actually, one of our kings invented the phrase Gross National Happiness. It’s the approach the country takes to the domestic development of Bhutan—to help make sure that the people are always happy with their lives and with the country. There are four parts, um, four “pillars”, to this approach: good government, sustainable development, environmental protection, and cultural preservation. So, for good government, the king puts the needs of the country first. In fact, even though the people love him, he gave away most of his power to the people in 2006.That’s when the country transitioned to democracy. The king still has an important role, but he no longer has absolute power. Real power belongs to the people and the officials that we elect. Sustainable development means that we help our country grow without damaging the environment. And the pillar of environmental protection is closely related to sustainable development, too. Agriculture is veryimportant in Bhutan, and we are trying to find new ways to farm without hurting theenvironment.Also, the government wants to keep 68 percent of the land covered in forests. Cultural preservation—the last pillar—is a challenge though. Half of Bhutan’s population is in their twenties or younger, and the government anticipates that some young people will get involved with gangs, crime, or drugs, for example. The government has banned television channels that they think are harmful. Even so, youth gangs are growing. Theft, which was not very common before, is also rising. On the other hand, there is a positive side to all of the changes.In a mountainous country such as Bhutan, communication technologies—for instance, mobile phones and the Internet—allow people to communicate more easily than ever before. And it seems that the arts are really moving ahead. Twenty years ago Bhutan had never produced a movie, but these days we produce over 20 a year. And some movies have even displayed the difficulties that Bhutan has had with the challenges of the modern world. These types of movies are important. They can help us explore the contradictions that have come with our changing culture.Teacher: Sompel, how do you view Bhutan’s future?Sompel: Well I’m hopeful about Bhutan’s future, and I’m glad that the approach of Gross National Happiness is helping to make sure that we don’t lose our beautiful environment and the best parts ofour ancient culture.Sompel: Um, sure. How should I put it? Well, you’ve probably heard of Gross National Product, which is a phrase that refers to the dollar value of all the goods and services produced by a country over a period of time. It’s one way of measuring a country’s success. But Gross National Happiness is different. Actually, one of our kings invented the phrase Gross National Happiness.

Students have to begin as early as possible and have to proceed as quickly as possible around the track. Success is measured by how many students cross the finish line in the short time .In America, we recognize the race too, but we feel that the students have a chance to explore things for themselves, even if not all of them reach the finish line. As a result of their exploring, some of the participants may have more to offer by the end of the race.The advantage of the Chinese way is that more students become proficient and reach the finish line. The disadvantage is that they may have less to say or to show once they get there. The disadvantage of the American way is that some students never finish the race. The advantage, however, is that some who do go "all the way" have very interesting and original things to say when they get there.1. F T T T F F2.1) race 2) race 3 ) proceed 4) explore things for themselves 5) proficient 6)interesting7) original 8) less 9) finish the raceListening IIOnce Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant greeted both of them and said, "May I ask why you have come to my humble house" The Goddess of Wealth said, "We want you to judge between us who is the most beautiful."The merchant did not know what to say. He knew he was between the devil and the deep blue sea: If he said that Wealth was more beautiful than Poverty, Poverty would curse him. If he said that Poverty was more beautiful than Wealth, Wealth would abandon him. However, he became calm and said, "I have great respect for you both. Would you please do what I ask of you It is the only way I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said, "Mother Wealth, would you please walk towards my house Mother Poverty, Would you please walk away from my house This way I can see you both better, from near and far." The two Goddesses did what the merchant had asked them to do. Then the merchant confidently declared, "Mother Wealth! You appear most beautiful when you are nearest my house. Mother Poverty! You look most beautiful when you are farthest from my house." The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of Wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of Poverty cheerfully departed.Whenever we have a serious problem, if we look within and think calmly, a solution will come in answer to the problem.1. F T F F F2. 1. Why did the two Goddesses go to the merchant’s place C2. What would happen if the merchant declared the Goddess of Wealth to be more beautifulthan the Goddess of the Poverty B3. What did the merchant ask the Goddesses to do D4. What was the reaction of the Goddesses A5. What does the story tell us CListening IIIThere is an old and common saying in the United States that "There is nothing new under the sun." I thought of that today while reading an article in a magazine. The article tells about the growing number of people who are building earth-sheltered houses, which are partly underground. I had known about modern earth-sheltered houses, but I had never thought about their roofs before. Instead of having metal or tiles on the roofs, many of these houses now have living roofs. The wooden top of the house is covered with a special waterproof plastic material. On top of this there is soil, in which grass and flowers are planted. Such a roof can be very beautiful. But this really is not a new idea. When the early settlers came to the United States, they often made their houses by digging into the ground. Their roofs were made of wood, and then covered by large areas of soil with grass or turf. They were warm, though not always waterproof. People replaced these houses and roofs as soon as they could live in regular wooden homes with wooden or metal roofs. Now, 200 years later, some people think of this as a new idea. But I think, "There is nothing new under the sun."1. 1) partly underground 2) living 3 ) digging into the ground 4) grass waterproof2.Questions:1. W hat does the speaker mean by saying "There is nothing new under the sun"2. W hat makes the speaker think of "earth-sheltered houses"3. W hat is a living roof4. H ow many years ago did the early settlers first build earth-sheltered houses5.

He didn't want to take time away from his card games to eat, so he ordered his butler to makesandwiches instead.Woman:Is that so Hey, look at this. The first beauty contest was held in Belgium in 1888. Why in Belgium of all placesMan: W hy not Oh, here's one I bet you're proud of.

And the equals sign, you'll be pleased to hear, was first usedin Oxford, in 1557. You'd have thought they'd all have been invented at the sametime.Man:Well, we both got these right. Coffee was in Arabia around 1,000 AD, and just before that, playing cards were invented in China.Woman:Well, I got this one right. First diagram of a flying machine was drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, as I said, in 1492.Man: Y eah, but the first air flight wasn't made until 1903, and it was in the United States.

He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags""Sand," answers Juan.The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard takes the two bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders and lets him cross the border.A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got" "Sand," says Juan.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years. Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a bar in Mexico."Hey, buddy," says the guard. "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't sleep.

The oldest known piece of pottery was found in China and dates back to 7,900 BC. That's almost 10,000 years ago!The first pots were large bowls, formed by taking a lump of clay and making a bowl shape. Pottery doesn't just include pots, but anything made from clay that can hold things, such as jugs, vases and cups. Pottery was used to hold water, milk, seeds and grains.Later, people learned to mix different clays together to make stronger pottery and to put the pottery in a fire oven so that the clay would harden faster. The potter's wheel was invented in China around 3100 BC. The wheel spins clay like a top. It allows people to make pottery much more quickly and makes shapes that were perfectly symmetrical—bowls that were really round, rather than lumpy or uneven. Pottery is not only considered one of the first inventions but also one of the first art forms. Most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; some even tell a story!1.

The characters on this show are mainly puppets, and probably the most loved of the puppets is a gigantic yellow bird called "Big Bird".Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird all the years of Big Bird's existence on American television. Spinney's love of puppets and his own creativity led him to this career. When he was five years old, he saw his first puppet show. He loved the show and never forgot it. When he was seven he bought a used monkey puppet for five cents. His mother had made him a stuffed snake from green material, so he got the idea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage fromwooden orange boxes and his mother's old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance.Spinney's family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more. For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eightcolorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, "The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped at the end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment."Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life's work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on "Sesame Street", he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.1-5 T T T F F6-10 T T T F F。

But I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about.Joan: You’re fired. That’s what I’m talking about.Carl: I find that surprising, Miss Jackson. After all, I sold twenty-five percent more of our products than any other salesperson.Joan: Look, I’m not here to argue. You’re fired. Understand?Carl: I understand perfectly. I just wonder what’s going to happen to the contract I’ve been arranging. It would be a shame to lose it; it could meana lot of our company. And I’m the only one who knows the details.Joan: No one is indispensable. Just clear out your desk, and that’s the end of it.Do I make myself clear, Mr. Westlake?Carl: Crystal clear—apart from one small detail.Joan: And what, pray tell, is that detail?Carl: I’m not Mr. Westlake.

Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Keys:Relationships, marketing manager, in conflict with, expenses, ended in vain, training administrator, visited, establish closer relationships, long-term, picked upTask3:Keys:CDDCAIV.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of thereport?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5.

What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly.Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.”Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. “Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.”Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.”Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, “Recognize.”This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope.
