UNIT 25What’s She Like?Describing the Appearance and Character of People IntroductionIn your everyday life, you usually have to answer questions such as “What’s so-and-so like?”This question doesn’t mean that you have to exactly describe the appearance of thisperson. The best way to answer this kind of question is to point out what kind of person he orshe is and then maybe the characteristics of his or her appearance. To ask about a person’s 5appearance specifically, the question “What does so-and-so look like?”is usually used.Consider the following clues in describing people.Physical description: general personal impression, age, height, face, clothes and so on.Other characteristics: personality, job, interests or hobbies, their life history, achievements, family and so on.Make sure you realize that the description of a person or place should be tactful. It is extremely rude to say to someone something like this: “You are a narrow-minded overweightmiddle-aged person!”5Part One Listening InKen: Hello?Mary: Hi, Ken. It’s Mary, Mary Graham.Ken: Oh hi, Mary. How are you?Mary: I’m fine. How are you?Ken: Fine.Mary: Listen, um... I want to ask you some questions about Jim Wilson—you know him, don’t you?Ken: Sure.5Mary: What’s he like?Ken: Well, why are you asking about Jim?Mary: Well, I want to try and get a part-time job at his store...Ken: Oh, well Jim’s a nice guy...Mary: Mm-hmm.Ken: I mean he’ll give you decent hours, a decent wage, and plenty of breaks.Mary: Well, that sounds good. Um, what does he look like? I’ve got to meet him at the Sunset Restaurant for lunch and I can’t remember.Ken: Oh, well he’s about thirty-six...Mary: Uh-huh.5Ken: ... six-foot-two...Mary: Oh, sounds kind of nice.Ken: Mm.Mary: Um, is he a, a formal kind of guy, or does he dress casually?Ken: Oh, he rarely dresses casually. He always wears three-piece suits and ties—dresses very 0much in style.Mary: Oh, I see, I better dress up then...Ken: Yeah, it might be a good idea.Part Two Better Listening5Section A006: You’d better give me my instructions. I have to leave soon.Z: Just a minute, 006. I have a message for you. You have to meet the Boss, tonight.006: Oh no! Not... the Boss!Z: That’s right, 006! He’ll be in a disco called Mama Mia tonight at ten o’clock.006: In a disco? But... I’ve never met him! What does he look like?Z: Well, he’s very tall, very tall, and he has very long, dark hair.006: Long hair? How old is he?5Z: Mm... About forty-five, I guess.006: And what about a flower? Will he be wearing a flower of any kind?Z: A flower? No. But he will be wearing a T-shirt saying “Bruce Springs is the Boss!”006: A Bruce Springs T-shirt?! All right, Z. And thanks!Z: Good luck, 006. And enjoy the disco! Listen carefully.

That’s it. Now, we have to make a decision. We might as well do that now,don’t you think?5Mr. Day: Sure. Let’s see. First we saw Frank Brzinski. What did you think of him?Ms. Mendose: Mmm. Frank. Well, he’s certainly a very polite young man.Mr. Day: Yes. And very relaxed, too. That’s important.Ms. Mendose: But his appearance!Mr. Day: Ummm. He wasn’t well dressed at all, was he? He wasn’t even wearing a tie!Ms. Mendose: But he did have a nice voice. He’d sound good on the telephone.Mr. Day: True. And I thought he seemed very intelligent. He answered all our questions very well.Ms. Mendose: That’s true. But dressing well is important. Well, let’s think about the others.Now, what about Barbara Jones? She had a nice voice, too. She’d sound good 5on the telephone, and she was well-dressed, too. What did you think of her?5Mr. Day: Mmmm. She did look very neat. Very nicely dressed. But I...Ms. Mendose: But so shy! She wouldn’t be very good at talking to people at the front desk,would she?Ms. Day: No. That’s really my worry about her. But she seemed pretty smart I thought.Ms. Mendose: Yes, yes, she did seem intelligent. But so nervous. So uncomfortable.Mr. Day: Ummm. OK. Now, who was next? Ah, yes. David Wallace I thought he was very good, had a lot of potential. What about you?Ms. Mendose: Mmm. He seemed like a very bright guy, didn’t you think? He dressed verynicely, too, and he had a really nice appearance.Mr. Day: Ummm. And what about his personality? He seemed relaxed to me—the type of 5person people feel comfortable with right away. I guess I was pretty impressed byhim.Ms. Mendose: Yes, I was too. He was very polite, but also very friendly and relaxed, as yousay. I think he’d be very good with the guests at the front desk, don’t you?Mr. Day: Yes, I do. He had a very pleasant voice, too.Ms. Mendose: That’s right. Well, was there anyone else? Oh yeah. Lois Johnson. I reallydidn’t think very much of her. She was too quiet. She hardly said a word.Mr. Day: That’s right. And when she did speak, I could hardly hear a word she was saying, she spoke so quietly?Ms. Mendose: Yeah. She was polite enough, I suppose... But another thing. She wasn’t very 5well dressed for an interview. I’m not sure she would know how to dress forthe job.Mr. Day: I agree. And she didn’t seem to understand half of our questions, either. She certainly gave some very strange answers when she did answer!Ms. Mendose: Ummm. OK. Good. I guess we have our receptionist, then, don’t you?Mr. Day: Yes, I think so. We’ll just offer the job to...。

Unit 4Listen1-1Steve is very short and rather fat. He likes to wear bright-colored casual clothes. Last week, he bought a red shirt and an expensive pair of shiny leather shoes. Every week Steve spends his paycheck before he gets another one. Steve enjoys being with people. He's extremely cheerful all the time and likes to tell jokes. People laugh at his jokes, but he laughs even louder. He loves to go to parties. He eats and drinks a lot and is always surrounded by people. He likes to dance and to listen to loud music. At every party he sings all his favorite songs at the top of his voice and dances with all the girls in the room. He's the last one to leave a party. Steve is a typical extrovert.Susan is slightly overweight. She doesn't like the color of her hair, which is brown. Every month, she buys a lot of fashion magazines that show pictures of slim models wearing beautiful clothes. Susan is so busy reading these magazines and watching her favorite TV shows that she often forgets to wash her hair or take care of her clothes. When she reads the magazines, she eats chocolate. When she is not watching TV, she talks for hours on the telephone with her friends.Jennifer is the kind of girl who impresses you at first sight. She has short hair and likes to dress herself like a "handsome" boy. And she looks really "cool" in blue jeans and T-shirt. Adventure stories and romantic love stories are her favorites, of which she can cover 200 pages in an hour and retell everything in vivid detail! As long as Jennifer can get a 60 in physics or computer science or any of the other courses she has little interest in, that's all she cares about. She will not make any effort to get higher marks. Yet, she has never failed in any courses up to now.Harry is of medium height and weight. He looks quite serious with his thick glasses. He often gets creative ideas and is not easily convinced. He's a good student and quite diligent and dreams of getting the first prize this semester. He is usually quiet but is quite talkative when it comes to chess and computer programming and when there are only one or two friends around. Once he was heard to say that he would never fall in love with any girl until he was a success.Listen2-1Interviewer: Do you have many friends?Shen Mei: Yes, I have many friends and acquaintances but only one of them is very close to me.Interviewer: When did you meet this friend and how did your friendship develop?Shen Mei: We met in our first year in senior middle school, about five years ago.Xiaoqing and I were in the same experimental class. We had a lot morefree time than students in the regular classes, so we did manyinteresting things together.Interviewer: Do you have any close friends at the university?Shen Mei: No, I think friendship takes time to develop. That's probably the main reason why I haven't made any more close friends here. I'm too busystudying and going to classes.Interviewer: Why do you think you became close friends with that particular girl, rather than other girls in your class?Shen Mei: Well, it was due to a combination of factors. At the beginning, we were both chosen to represent our class in a speech contest, so weworked closely together. Then, I discovered that she was a veryhonest person and I think honesty is a very important aspect offriendship.Interviewer: Were there any other things that strengthened your friendship?Shen Mei: Yes. We were both on the basketball team, so we spent hours practising together. Teamwork and cooperation certainly made usappreciate each other even more. We also took part in running races;she helped me a lot. She organized a singing contest and I did a lot ofthings for her. I think helping each other is another important aspectof friendship.Interviewer: Do you still see each other on a daily basis?Shen Mei: No, unfortunately we aren't in the same city now. I passed the entrance examination, but she failed. We were terribly sad, at first.But we are still best friends and that will never change.Interviewer: How would you summarize the difference between a really close friend and other friends?Shen Mei: It's more a question of being a process. Like a flower, real friendship grows day by day. It needs many special ingredients to flourish. Statements:1. Shen Mei doesn't have many friends.2. When Shen Mei and Xiaoqing were in the experimental class, they didn't have much free time.3. It can be inferred that both of them were very athletic in senior middle school.4. Xiaoqing helped Shen Mei to improve her basketball skills.5. Xiaoqing organized a singing contest and Shen Mei helped her a lot.6. They don't see each other on a daily basis because Xiaoqing is at another college.7. They are still the best friends and will be so forever.8. According to Shen Mei, real friendship is like a flower, which needs many special ingredients to flourish.Mlisten1-1The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mud and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in the stone where no wind can ever erase it."Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in the stone.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.Questions:1. Where did the story take place?2. What did the person do when he got slapped?3. What did they decide to do when they found an oasis?4. What did the person write when he was saved?5. How did the person feel when the other wrote something on a stone?Mlisten2-1There once was a little girl who had a bad temper. Her mother gave her a bag of nails and told her that every time she lost her temper, she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.The first day the girl had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to control her anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the girl didn't lose her temper at all.She told her mother about it and the mother suggested that the girl now pull out one nail for each day that she was able to hold her temper. The days passed and the young girl was finally able to tell her mother that all the nails were gone.The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said, "You have done well, my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one."You can hurt a person and it won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry", the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.Mlisten3-1Part IWelcome to the Garden of Friendship. We hope you leave your troubles at the gate, and enjoy your stroll through our garden.The Garden of Friendship was planned to bring men and women together on common ground and to provide a network allowing them to meet one another. The Garden of Friendship reaches out to all corners of the globe, so that people can come together to share ideas, spread joy, support one another, and build friendships.Our members come from every color, race and religion and will be shown no discrimination when they walk through the garden. We stand together and support one another. We support each other in our causes, our triumphs and our tribulations, lending a hand whenever it is needed.The Garden of Friendship is blooming with support, whether you need help with an idea, praise for an accomplishment, support through one of life's hardships, prayers for a friend or family member, and so much more. We stand together showing love and support for one another without prejudice. Any member displaying prejudice, racism, hatred, or bias will have their membership revoked immediately.Mlisten3-2Part IIHere is how we define the Garden of Friendship:G is for genuineness; the friendship is just about thisA is for always, always here for youR is for respect, for you'll find it does aboundD is for durable; it's always aroundE is for everlasting, as friendships should beN is for nurturing, for this is the keyO is for outstanding; you'll find this so trueF or friendship makes you smile, when you are blueF is for fantastic, the way you'll always feelR is for reliable, now that's a great dealI is for independence, 'cause we're all uniqueE is for equal, in all we do and speakN is for necessary, 'cause life without friendsD oes not supply the soul with a purpose to its endS is for support, friends always do, you knowH is for happiness when the friendships growI is for ideas; we share them with each otherP is for the privilege of knowing one anotherMlisten4-1Part IShow me that smile againOh, show me that smileDon't waste another minute living on your cryingWe're nowhere near the endWe're nowhere nearThe best is ready to begin...Mike: Dad, can I talk to you as a friend, not as a guy who will make my life miserable? Jason: What's wrong, Mike?Mike: Dad, I gotta know that what I tell you won't be used against me.Jason: OK, what is it?Mike: OK, so I have your word that whatever I say you're not going to...Jason: Mike, just say it, OK?Mike: OK. Me and Eddie and Boner, we ended up at a party where everybody was doing, doing cocaine.Jason: Cocaine?Mike: Wait, you're not my dad, you're a friend!Jason: Cocaine? Really?Mike: Yeah, and if you didn't do it you were a wimp.Jason: Cocaine.Mike: Dad, I never felt so much pressure in my life.Jason: And?Mike: And from Boner and Eddie.Jason: And?Mike: And it was like I didn't even have a choice.Jason: And?Mike: And I didn't do it.Jason: You didn't do what?Mike: I didn't do the stupid drug.Jason: Well, that's great, Mike. That's wonderful. I always figured that you'd make the right choice if you had to face that, and I'm relieved.Mike: Dad, that's not it.Jason: What?Mike: Dad, I've been thinking about this since the party. Dad, I've been driving and driving...Jason: Mike, you did the right thing.Mike: Yeah, that's what kills me.Jason: I don't understand.Mike: Dad, I know I did the right thing. It's just that I feel like everyone's going to laugh at me. And some of those people did laugh.Jason: Well, Mike, you're not going to be able to please everybody.Mike: Yeah. Well, tonight I didn't please anybody.Jason: Except yourself.Mike: Yeah.Jason: Yeah, what you did tonight took real courage, Mike. I admire you.Mike: Thanks.Jason: Sleep on it.Mike: Good night, Dad.Jason: Good night, Mike.Mike: Thanks, Dad.Statements:1. Mike and his father, Jason, were talking like friends.2. It was with Boner alone that Mike went to the party.3. Jason felt relieved after hearing the right choice Mike's friends had made.4. Mike was laughed at by some people at the party because he didn't take the cocaine.5. Jason hopes that Mike could please everybody.Mlisten4-2Part IIMike: You know a lot of people tell you that drugs are cool and they're the same people who are saying that everybody is doing something, so what's your problem? Well, they're wrong. Everybody's not doing drugs and you don't have to do it to be cool.Look, I'm not telling you how to live your lives, but I am telling you that you don't have to do something you don't want to do just to keep your friends happy. I mean, if that's the way that they feel, then maybe they're not your friends. And maybe they're not as cool as you thought they were. And one last thing, I'm not being paid to say this. This is how I feel and if you think that makes me uncool, then you're wrong.Quiz1-1Be a Friendby Edgar GuestBe a friend. You don't need money,Just a disposition sunny;Just the wish to help anotherGet along some way or other;Just a kindly hand extendedOut to one who's unbefriended;Just the will to give or lend,This will make you someone's friend.Be a friend. You don't need glory.Friendship is a simple story.Pass by trifling errors blindly,Gaze on honest effort kindly,Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,Pity him who's sadly sighing;Just a little labor spendOn the duties of a friend.Be a friend. The pay is bigger(Though not written by a figure)Than is earned by people cleverIn what's merely self-endeavor.You'll have friends instead of neighborsFor the profits of your labors;You'll be richer in the endThan a prince, if you're a friend.Quiz2-1If there is one old saying that will forever be true, it is that good friends are hard to find. Friends come and go, and very few of them you have right now will be your friends ten years from now. So often, we expect friendships to last forever, and we get hurt when they don't. I know I've spent a lot of time in my life feeling hurt because people I thought were good friends turned out not to be or simply lost touch.It is hard not to be hurt and when a friend leaves it feels like a part of yourself has gone too. There isn't much you can do to prevent this or make it feel any better. The best thing to do is to try to find friends that you know will be good friends. Don't just try to make friends with every member of a particular group, and don't make friends because you are seeking popularity. The best friendships are based on common interests and mutual concern.It is easy to find a bunch of people to hang out with and to gossip with or joke around with. It is hard to find a true friend. Think about all of the friends you have right now. You probably can't even count them. Now, think about the people you know that you could call at three in the morning to come and get you out of trouble. I'll bet you can count those people on one hand. Those are the friends you need to hang on to, because in a few years all of the others will probably be gone.Questions:1. What is the old saying mentioned at the beginning of thepassage?2. What do we feel when friendships don't last forever?3. How can we avoid feeling bad when losing friends?4. What are the best friendships based on according to thepassage?5. According to the author, how many true friends does eachof us have at most?Quiz3-1Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.Since they were going the same way, Mark helped to carry the burden. As they walked, he discovered that the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball, and history, that he was having a lot of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a coke and to watch some TV. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home.They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice. They ended up at the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long-awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Do you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things from school that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books for me that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life!"Sview1-1Scene 1: In a sports shop(It is Sunday afternoon. Allen and Oliver are looking for a gift for Allen's girlfriend, Pauline.)Allen: Oliver, what if I send Pauline this schoolbag?Oliver: A good gift. But... if I were you, I would choose something different. Allen: Why?Oliver: According to what I hear, girls prefer something romantic. They would like boys to send them roses every day, instead of giving them something more practical.Allen: Mm, I see your point. Did you learn it from your girlfriends on-line? Oliver: Yes. But I can't remember who, Amy, Sandy, Rose or Cinderella?Allen: Yeah, you are great!Oliver: Hey, look at that girl! Is that Wendy? Come on, let's go see her.(Allen walks over after Oliver.)Hi, Wendy.Wendy: Hi, Oliver. I'm so glad to see you.Oliver: This is my roommate Allen.Wendy: Hi, Allen. Nice to meet you.Allen: Nice to meet you.Oliver: (He notices Wendy carries a lot of shopping bags and points to them.) Why have you bought so many things?Wendy: In fact, they're birthday gifts for my best friends Alice, Lily and Phyllip. Our friendship has lasted for almost ten years. You know, I spent the whole day looking for the gifts. And I find these—they're perfect. My friends are going to be so happy. Actually, would you be able to give me a hand? I can hardly take them back to my dorm.Oliver: (He says hesitantly.) Oh, well...Allen: (He says joyfully.) I'd be glad to. We can carry some of your bags. We don't charge much. We charge nothing, don't we? (He winks at Oliver and takes some bags from Wendy.)Oliver: Now I find one advantage of having e-friends, I mean, friends on-line. It's more simple. The only thing I need to do with my friends is to put words into the computer and read the reply. I don't have to worry about whether I have bought the right gift or whether I've got enough gifts for all my friends. Wendy: Maybe that's a good idea. But what's the point of friendship if friends mean only a few images and messages on-line? I'll feel disappointed if I get nothing from my friends in the real world, though I'd admit it's enjoyable to talk with them in the chat room.Allen: I agree with you, Wendy. Sending gifts is more than just telling someone that you like them. It's a way of saying "thank you for being my friend". Wendy: Wonderful, Allen, you sound like a philosopher. You expressed something thatis in my mind but I can't express myself.Allen: How about a coffee?Oliver: Sounds good.(The three of them walk out of the shop.)Scene 2: In a cafe(Wendy's roommate Cathy is browsing the Internet. She is in low spirits.) Wendy: Hi, Cathy. Didn't you have an appointment with Robin Hood today? How did itgo?Cathy: Couldn't have been worse. I waited for the whole weekend. He never showed up. And now all I can do is wait and wait and wait...Wendy: Now you see how unreliable e-friends are. This is what can be expected from e-friendships. Oliver, what do you say?Oliver: It's not that unusual in real life. Maybe he's just busy.Allen: Or maybe he'll never show up.Oliver: Cheer up, Cathy. Why don't you talk to somebody else? You'll make a better friend than Robin Hood. I still say that making friends on-line is the best way.It never disappoints me.Wendy: Come on, Oliver, I don't understand you! Why do you stick to e-friends so much?Oliver: I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm the only child in my family. I'm not good at making friends. I think that making friends on-line has advantages overpersonal friendships.Wendy: Really? I'm all ears.Oliver: Well, it's easy to find somebody to talk to in the chat room. If I just log on and say hello, there will be a guy who pops up and enjoys chatting with me and thenwe meet from time to time and we become e-friends. But in real life, accordingto my experience, it's more difficult. Nowadays people are so busy.Allen: How can you share friendships with people you don't know? You can never know their... true looks, true names, backgrounds or even true sexes.Oliver: I don't need to know their real life. I just take it for granted that the information they give me is true. It's more fun to keep friends in a virtualworld. You know, one thing we expect our friends to do is to listen to our innerheart. We need other people to share our happiness, for instance. As you know,happiness shared is happiness multiplied.Cathy: I agree with you. We girls like to talk with others in times of anxiety and misery. But of our personal friends, who can always keep a secret for us? Iwould be so embarrassed if some of my friends revealed my secrets. It couldlead to trouble or even disaster if we chose to talk to the wrong people.Oliver: But I'm happy with my e-friends. It doesn't threaten me if they talk to other people. They only know mye-name, and they don't know anything about my real life.Wendy: It sounds plausible. But don't you think that e-friendships are easy to break?Suppose your e-friends disappear from the chat room, just as your Robin Hood did, Cathy, the friendships would be gone without a trace.Cathy: I don't think that's a problem. As a matter of fact, friendships in real life are no stronger than friendships on-line. What if you stop writing letters, sending gifts or even making calls to each other? Would the friendship last then? Wendy: I don't think friendship will disappear if that kind of thing really happens, it only fossilizes. After all, all the letters and gifts would be there and they would remind me of the happy moments we once had.Allen: In fact, we can call and even go to visit their house to ask a real-life friend why they didn't show up. I would be relieved to know the truth, whatever it was. Cathy: I think it's not a real friendship any more if either person feels uncomfortable in the relationship.Oliver: Yes, I think, in this sense, e-friendships are likely to be less risky than personal friendships. We often find that friendships become complicated for many reasons.Allen: But to me, it would be awful if my friends were allon-line. However convenient it is, I can't count on them as true friends. Wendy: Yes. Remember, Cathy, when you twisted your ankle last month? What would have happened to you without your real friends?Cathy: Don't get me wrong. Oliver and I just think thate-friendships are less risky in some ways, but we would never suggest that people give up making real-life friends. Am I right, Oliver?...。

( ) Christmas is the most joyful and important festival of the year in France. Passage 3: The Spring FestivalHundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day and they went singing from home to home. In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!" In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her widedress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely! Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off. Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have. If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.1.

It exists to promote a free-market international trade system. The WTO promotes trade by:1. reducing tariffs;2. prohibiting import or export bans or quotas;3. eliminating discrimination against foreign products and services;4. eliminating other impediments to trade, commonly called "non-tariff trade barriers''.With China's successful entry into WTO in Nov 2001, it currently has135 member countries, accounting for over 90% of world trade. Over 30 others are negotiating membership. The WTO's top-level decision-making body is the ministerial conference which meets at least once every two years. Over three-quarters of WTO members are developing countries. Special provisions for these members are included in the WTO's agreements. GATT is now the WTO's principal rule-book.Decisions are made by the entire membership by consensus or majority vote. The WTO's agreements have been ratified in all members' parliaments. If a trade barrier is found to be unfair, the WTO can authorize the imposition of trade sanctions to force a change in that country's law. The WTO exempts trade barriers which are designed to conserve natural resources or protect health.Critics say the WTO credits agreements are skewed in favor of rich countries. The west may preach trade liberalization, but it has used negotiations to prize third world market while keeping its own barriers intact.。

UINT 1 SECTION CHave you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how peoplearranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end.Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you."And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.UINT 3 SECTION BFirst StoryMy husband and I met in high school. During our senior year, we studies biology together. We talked and laughed a lot during class. One Friday, we Joked that we should go on a date that night. At first, I didn't know if he was serious. He didn't know if I was joking. That night I put on a new dress and waited. He had a more difficult time. He had to knock on the door without knowing if I would be ready or not. But he knocked, and I was ready! That was our first date. This year, we celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary'Second StoryMy husband and I met one day at an airport. It was Christmas day. I was picking up my friend Bernd. He was coming from Germany to spend the holidays with my family. While we were waiting for his luggage, I heard a man speaking in Italian. I decided to say something to him because I speak Italian. I said, "Buon Natale" which means, "Merry Christmas!" When I spoke in Italian, he said, "Mama mia! Why do you speak Italian? Who are you?" He asked me for my phone number. He called me the next day, and we dated for a year. Then we got married. So be careful who you talk to in the airport!Third StoryMy wife and I met through our parents. Our parents arranged our marriage. Before we got married, my wife and I wanted to meet. Our parents arranged our first meeting in a restaurant. That night, we talked about ourselves and what we wanted in our lives. We talked for hours. We shared our hopes and dreams. After a while, we decided that our parents were right! And we got married.Fourth StoryMy wife and 1 met through a matchmaker. I'm an engineer, and in my field, most people are men.I couldn't meet any women at work. So one day I saw an advertisement for a matchmaking service, and I decided to call. The matchmaker introduced me to many nice women. I enjoyed meeting them, but I didn't meet anyone I wanted to marry. Finally, she introduced me to my wife. I decided not to date any other women because I liked her very much. We enjoyed the same things, and we laughed a lot together. We also had the same goals and values in life. My wife and I were married six years ago, and now we have two children. I'm glad I picked up the phone and called that matchmaker!UINT 3 SECTION CAmong married couples in the U.S., one finds a wide range of living patterns. Some older couples still have traditional marriages, with the man as breadwinner and the woman as homemaker. But most younger women today are not content to be full-time homemakers. The women's liberation movement, which swept the country in the 1960s, changed attitudes and behavior forever. Today's young American woman wants marriage, but she also wants her own identity. She wants what men have always had—a marriage that is important but still allows time to pursue individual goals. The maJority of American wives, even those with children, work outside the home- As a result, the older idea that housework, cooking, and child care are "women's work" is being discarded. In the contemporary American marriage, the husband and wife share both financial and domestic responsibilities.Sharing money-making and housekeeping responsibilities provides a better life for the family. Of course, problems can develop in the two-income family if the husband expects his working wife to be the perfect homemaker that his stay-at-home mother was- Also, there may be arguments if the wife expects her husband to help with household chores, but he is unwilling to do so. In most families, the working wife probably still handles the largest share of the housework, cooking, and child care. but she gets some help from her husband.The contemporary American marriage is also characterized by a relationship of equality and shared decision making. Most American women today will not tolerate a husband who considers himself the boss. The American girl is given freedom and education equal to a boy's. After completing her education, she is able to get a job and support herself. She does not need to marry for financial security. She is self-sufficient and will not accept a submissive role in marriage. When husband and wife are able to share decision making and respect each other's viewpoints, their marriage is probably closer than those of past generations. When they battle for dominance, they're likely to end up in divorce court.UINT 4 SECTION B“Ring out the old, ring in the new,”wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the nineteenth-century English poet. And that's exactly what Americans do every December 31. New Year's Eve is a time for noise and fun- At home or in restaurants, most Americans drink and dine with friends- At midnight on New Year's Eve, bells ring, horns blow, and friends toast each other with champagne. It's also customary to exchange kisses. New Year's Eve festivities often continue until two or three o'clock in the morning. Many people travel from one party to another to celebrate with several different groups of friendsThe country's most crowded New Year's Eve celebration takes place in New York City's Times Square. Since 1907, the famous ball-lowering ceremony has been a holiday highlight. To celebrate the arrival of the year 2000, an estimated 2 million people crowded into Times Square, and hundreds of million viewed the scene on TV The huge, 1,070-pound lighted crystal ball began its descent from a 77-foot flagpole at 11:59 p.m. and reached the bottom at exactly midnight. Simultaneously, confetti, balloons, and fireworks brightened the night sky. It was the biggest public event ever held in the city.What do Americans do on New Year's Day? Many sleep late because they stayed up all night long. Many watch TV which offers spectacular parades and football games between champion college teams. From ancient times to the present. New Year's customs have been connected with saying good-bye to the past and looking forward to a better future. Therefore, New Year's Day often inspires people to start new programs and give up bad habits. Some people make New Year's resolutions. People talk about "turning over a new leaf", referring to a clean, blank page or a fresh start. Typical New Year's resolutions are to spend less money, give up smoking, begin a diet, or be nicer to others. It's safe to assume that about half of them are forgotten by January 31'UINT 4 SECTION CIt was a cool autumn evening. Mrs. Brown was sitting in her living room, reading. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on her door, then two or three more knocks. Mrs. Brown put the safety chain on her door. Then she opened the door a little and looked out. There stood three children wearing masks and costumes. When they saw her, they all shouted, "Trick or treat! Money or eats!"Mrs, Brown dropped a candy bar into each child's bag."Thanks for the candy," shouted the children as they ran off to ring another doorbell-"You're welcome," said Mrs. Brown. "Have fun, and don't play any pranks."Every year on October 31. Halloween scenes like this occur throughout the USA. American children love to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. If an adult refuses to supply a treat—candy, cookies, fruit, or money— the children may play a trick. Typical Halloween pranks are soaping windows, writing on doors with crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep them ringing, throwing raw eggs, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends.Halloween is celebrated by nearly all American children, and over 70% of adults also participate in some Halloween activity. College students and other young adults may attend masquerade parties or Halloween parades. Many families carve pumpkins and decorate the outside of their homes with the traditional Halloween symbols. Businesses get into the act, too. Store windows display jack-o'-lanterns, scarecrows, and witches. Servers in restaurants and salespeople in supermarkets and bookstores are often in costume. Many nightclubs and bars encourage customers to come in costume by offering prizes for the best disguisesUINT 4 PART 31.

For example, ten minutes in the morning, ten minutes at lunch, and ten minutes after dinner.Next, money. "I don't have money to go to a gym. 1 don't have money to buy expensive shoes." No problem. You don't have to spend money to exercise. All you need is a street and comfortable clothes. Our solution? Walk. Don't drive. For instance, walk to the store, to the library, to the bank. Walking is free and easy.The third most common reason is bad weather. "It's raining. It's too hot. It's snowing." Here's a solution. Exercise inside. For example, turn on some music. Dance. Or clean the house. You can go to the shopping mall and walk fast.Fourth, people say they're tired. "I'm too tired to exercise. I'll exercise when I have more energy." But exercise gives you energy. Most people feel too tired because they don't exercise. The solution? Exercise every day. Take a walk. Go for a bike ride. Run around the block. You'll feel great! And you won't feel tired.Finally, some people feel embarrassed. "I feel silly exercising. I don't have a great body." Listen to this solution: Don't feel bad; you should feel great!

Unit 1 Famous PeopleAs the owner of a small business selling software I find it hard to recruit good people in today‘s tight labor market and having got people on board, there is an equally, if not more difficult task of keeping them happy.Staff turnover is a real problem. Twoyears ago our staff turnover at Epmus plc was out of control. We were consistentlylosing staff across the spectrumfrom clerical workers to senior managers, Butour real worry was the skilled technical people who were leaving us. They comprised a bulk of our work force so we brought in a group of consultants to help usfigure out why they were leaving. It wasn‘t too difficult to see what had gone wrong. Getting new recruits to deal with clients without any specialist training wasn‘t a g ood idea. We were putting our staff in an unfair position, especially when they had to reach sales targets. Nor was the system of evaluating employee performance only once a year a good idea. It meant we won ' t pick up potential problems early enough. So having conducted our assessment we established a formal plan to retain the people who had worked so hard to recruit and hire. We laid out specific steps for communicating with ourstaff. Firstly, every year we close down the company and invite our entire staff to an off-site meeting. We talk shop and it gives us a chance to reinforce what the company vision is. It is after allessential that everyone is aware of where we are goingand what we have to achieve. Then to build on this ground work, the session managers send e-mail messages every 3 months to describe any modifications there have been to that division, as the process took hold we noticed that doing this quarterly wasn‘t adequate. As a result i now have a meeting once a week with the managers whoare directly responsible to me to review and revise their department goals. However, in my view, communicating theplan of where the company is headed is something let medown on a continual basis ever amid the often chaotic day-to-day undertakings of our fast-growing company. I think that this jogs to the memory or to be incorporated into every CEOs usual interaction with their staff. Our staff turnover ratehas fallen to just over 30 percent this yearwhich we were very pleased with. And thesteps we took might prove useful to other entrepreneurs. There are key things that need to be done. For example, set up meetings every 3 months or so with your most important personnel and use these occasions to provide feedback, and talk about any problems the staff may have. In addition, make sure new recruits are put through a proper 2-week training period and spend time with a mentor who has been formally delegated to look after them and answer their questions.Also when looking to retain staff, don‘t just focus on compensation. Bear in mind that when it comes to keeping people you need to show publicity that you value their contribution. There are also other methods of rewarding staff who stay with you, such as stock options and in the long term our goal is for all employees to be receiving these.Unit 2 Growing PainsYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of deep springs of life.Youth means temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in aman of 60 more than in a boy of 20. Nobody grows older merely by the number of years. We grow older by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turn the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being‘s hear t the lureof wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what‘s next, and the joy of the game of living.In the cente r of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long are you young.When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20; but as long as the aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope that you may die young at 80.Unit 3 Sports and GamesPlay is very important for humans from birth to death. Play is not meant to be just for children. It is a form of freedom and connectionthat can tap into your creativity, and can allow you the chance to find your inner child and the inner child of others. I have collected the top five benefits of play here.Play can stimulate you to think differently. It can go against all the rules, and change the same old boring way of doing things. Walt Disney was devoted to play, and his willingness to oppose the common wisdom changed the world of entertainment. The next time you are stuckin a fixed and boring way of life, pull out a box of color pencils, modeling clay, glue and scissors, and invite your inner child out and break free. You will be amazed at the way your thinking shifts the new world of discovery.Playing can bring greater joy into your life. What do you think the world would be like-if every human spent time each day in play? I bet just asking you this question has brought a smile to your face. Play creates laughter, joy, entertainment, and a feeling of inner peace. Starting today, try to get 30 minutes each day to engage in some form of play, and watch your joy factor rise!Play is known to reduce stress. Studies show that, as humans, play is part of our nature. We have the need to play because it isinstinctive and basic to human existence.With regular play, our problem-solving and adaptive abilities will be in much better shape to handle this complex world, and we are much more likely to choose healthy answers to challenging situations as they arise. It creates laughter and freedom that can instantly reduce stress and add a feeling of relaxation to our daily living.Play can stimulate the imagination, curiosity (18), and creativity. Research shows that play is both a ?hands-on' and ?minds-on' learning process. It produces a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the world and its possibilities. We begin giving meaning to life through story making, and playing out various possible situations.Unit 4 Culture and Corporate CultureSome of the best American companies today have turned themselves upside down. They‘ve found the old top-down pyramid style management chart doesn‘t work. So they‘ve flipped the pyramid over, giving employees more say in what goes on. And it works, as evidenced in improved sales and earnings.Interested in inverting the pyramid in your operation? Here are some tips:Challenge employees to come up with their own better ways to do their jobs, You may be surprised at how valuable some of their suggestions are.Seek out ideas from everyone, not just those who have a direct involvement with the job,Sometimes good ideas come from unlikely resources.Tr eat employees with honesty and respect. Don‘t dictate to them if they are not going to have their ideas enacted. Explain the reasons that underline a decision or policy.Spread authority around. If the largest part of the pyramid is to be at the top, the top people should have authority.At one auto plant any worker who sees a problem can shut down the whole assembly line until the problem is solved. By giving employees more control over their work environment and more involvement in running their jobs, you tap into a valuable source of ideas and productivity—and that pays off for everyone.Unit 5 Science and TechnologyRight Reverend Lord HARRIES(Member, House of Lords; Former Bishop, Oxford for the Church of England): Now you ask, what is the relationship between scientific theory and Christianfaith? The simplest way of thinking is to say, well, they're really answering different questions.Science is trying to address the question, how do things happen. And in answer to that, you get the theory of evolution. Things happened over millions and millions of years by a very gradual process through natural causes.PALCA: But Harries says if you ask why did things happen, then you get a completely different answer. It's the why of life that belongs in the spiritual domain. Harries says the problems some religions have with Darwin and evolution come from a literal interpretation of the Bible. And he says, while the Bible contains profound truths, it's not word for word true.Right Rev. Lord HARRIES: First of all, take the issue of the age of the Earth. I mean, do people really think that the universe is only4,000 years old where every science - chemistry, paleontology, physics, astronomy- every single science points with huge amounts of evidence to the Earth being billions of years old and the universe being even more billions of years old.So you just have to ask people, what do they make - do they think that the vast majority of scientists in every scientific discipline on Earth are liars?PALCA: In the beginning - in other words, in 1859 when "On theOrigin of Species" was published, the church was uncomfortable with Darwin's theories. But clearly, that position has changed.So much so that recently, a spokesman for the Church of England wrote an article saying the church might owe Darwin an apology for its initial resistance to evolution. The Rev. Dr. Malcolm Brown says some people misread his comments to say the church was, in fact, apologizing.Reverend Dr. MALCOLM BROWN(Director of Mission and Public Affairs, Church of England): I suggested than an apology might be owed, which isa slightly different thing. I don't have the authority to make it.My point was that by raising doubts about Darwin at the beginning, by getting our first reaction wrong, even though as the Church of England, we pretty quickly got OK with Darwin, we legitimized,to some extent, later movements, particularly in the States in the early 20th century, to raise creationism as an ideology and make Darwina whipping boy.Unit 6 LiteratureThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumptionthat drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world –even the seasonal changes as unpredictable, and they sought through various means tocontrol these unknown and feared power. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retainedand repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. As time passed some rituals were explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and customers were almost used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the ― acting area ‖ and the ― auditorium ‖. In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leader usually assumed that task, wearing masks and costumes often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect –success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun –as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces the theater ' s origin from the humaninterest instorytelling. According to this view tales ( about the hunt , war, or other feats ) aregradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, anddialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by adifferent person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations if animal movements and sounds.。

Chelsea Hu, who will graduate in December with a master's degree in communication management from the University of Southern California, seems unusually relaxed while most of her classmates are scrambling to find jobs in the United States."I have decided to return to China, where I will be more competitive for a senior-title job," she said."I'm concerned more about finding something I am interested in rather than taking an entry-level job just for the purpose of staying in the US," Hu said.The 26-year-old passed four rounds of telephone interviews to land an internship this summer in the Beijing office of an American video-on-demand provider. Hu, who earned her bachelor's degree in television editing and directing from Peking University, left for the Chinese capital last week.Before coming to the US, she worked for a year in a Beijing public relations firm. Work experience combined with her US degree would make Hu a top candidate for many jobs in her home country, as employers seek out talented Chinese who were educated abroad to help them navigate the global marketplace.Hu is among a growing number of graduates who are heading home to China and its enticing job market as hiring in the US lags. Statistics show that over the past year, unemployment among US college graduates younger than 25 has averaged 8.5 percent. That's better than the 9.5 percent recorded in 2011 but much higher than the 5.4 percent seen in the year preceding the recession that began at the end of 2007.A New York Times editorial on June 4 noted that even those American graduates lucky enough to find decent work will face reduced starting salaries this year. From 2007 to 2011, the wages of young college graduates, adjusted for inflation, declined 4.6 percent, or about $2,000 each per year, the paper said. Many others will struggle to find work or have to settle for lower-level or lower-paid positions that don't require a college degree. "The posts available for international students are very limited at job fairs," Hu said.For Yang Jie, who graduated in 2011 with a master's degree in business administration from New York's Fordham University, 12 months of job hunting in the US didn't end happily. After sending more than 100 application letters and getting a few phone interviews, he has yet to receive a single offer.But Yang said he isn't frustrated. "This is quite normal. Even some American graduates might face the disappointment of moving back in with their parents, or have to work at a cafe to pay off loans," he said.He plans to fly back to China in July and research the domestic market's potential for an education business he has in mind."More and more Chinese families want their children to study in the US at younger ages," he said. "I want to start my career by setting up a study-abroad website to serve Chinese applicants."Data shows Chinese have outnumbered Indian peers to become the leading group of international students at US colleges and universities since the 2009-10 academic year.Some Chinese students of the Class of 2012 have lucked out.Zhang Yanni, a graduate of the University of Rochester in New York State, recently started a job as a digital-marketing specialist for an American IT company in Southern California. She said the pay is good and her boss is nice."I am the first and only Chinese student (of 13) in my class to get a job so far," Zhang said."The job market here is pretty good this year for Chinese students majoring in high-tech. It seems the high-tech field is in another boom cycle," said Roy Kong of the US-China Association of High-Level Professionals. Questions:1. What was the unemployment rate for US college graduates last year?2. What are more Chinese students doing after graduation?3. Who is the leading group of international students at US colleges and universities since the 2009-10 academic year?Answers:1. 8.5 percent.2. Returning home to China to find jobs.3. Chinese.Women-only train carriagesNB: This is not a word for word transcriptAlice: Hello! I’m Alice and this is 6 Minute English…. Welcome to Rob who is joining me today! Hi Rob. Rob: Hello Alice.Alice: Today we’re talking about female-only carriages on trains.Rob: These are train carriages which are only for women. We don’t have them in the UK.Alice: No we don’t –but there are quite a few countries which do have female-only carriages for commuters. It’s to help women from being bothered while they are travelling –to stop sexual harassment1. Can you guess which of these countries have female-only carriagesRob? I’ll give you a choice of 4.Canada, Japan, Egypt or GermanyRob: I’ll have a think and tell you at the end of the programme. Why is this in the news?Alice: It’s in the news because women in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, will now be able to travel in female-only train carriages. Here’s part of a report by the BBC’s Karishma Vaswani in Jakarta.Extract 1:The trains to the suburbs are always packed with commuters trying to get from their offices in the city back to their homes. Female passengers have been complaining that some male commuters are taking advantage. By introducing women’s only carriages, the state-run rail operator wants to put a stop to sexual harassment.Alice: The company that operates the trains in this part of Jakarta say they have received lots of complaints about men taking advantage of women. Taking advantage –that’s a polite way of saying some men were touching2 women or banging into them on purpose on crowded trains.Rob: It is officially called sexual harassment.Alice: The state-run rail operator –the train company owned by the government –said that women were avoiding packed trains to avoid sexual harassment. So they have created women only train carriages.Rob: They have even designed the train carriages to appeal to women apparently3.Alice: That’s right. The carriages are made in Japan and have brightly covered pink seats. They’re easy to spot.Rob: They’re easy to spot –they stand out, they’re easy to see from a distance.Alice: This woman, 22 year old Yanti a student in Jakarta said she hopes the carriages will help stop sexual harassment on crowded trains.Extract 2(Voiceover in English): Hopefully this service will be able to reduce the number of women who become targets of sexual harassment on the trains. Sometimes there are men who bump and push into us on purpose, and they take advantage of the cramped 4 conditions. But there must be other ways to stop sexual harassment. We have to try and raise awareness5 about the issue as well.Alice: So Yanti said the carriages are part –but not all of the solution - to prevent sexual harassment on the train.Rob: Yes –she said that it’s important to raise awareness about the issue of sexual harassment as well.Alice: to raise awareness –that’s a useful phrase –you often hear it when people want to talk about difficult issues –issues which are difficult to discuss.Rob: We also heard the phrase taking advantage again.Alice: Yanti said that some men take advantage of the cramped conditions on the train to bump or push into women on purpose.Rob: on purpose –that means you do something deliberately6. The carriages are full of people –they’re very cramped.Alice: He did it on purpose, she did it on purpose –it wasn’t a mistake, they did it deliberately. Sexual harassment is a difficult issue to talk about. Some countries have laws which make sexual harassment illegal –especially in the workplace. What is the official definition of sexual harassment Rob?Rob: The United Nations Development Fund for Women defines sexual harassment as "unwelcome or unwanted verbal, non-verbal, physical or visual conduct based on sex or of a sexual nature; the acceptance or rejection7 of which affects an individual's employment.Alice: Verbal means spoken. So sexual harassment can be language too –not just physical touching. Unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, physical or visual conduct. Visual –means it could be a look from somebody that is unwanted as well.Rob: That definition of sexual harassment is also just about women at work. But it can happen in other places too.Alice: Yes –and remember it’s not just women who can be sexually harassed8. There are also many legal cases where men say they have been sexually harassed at work or in other places too.Rob: Men can be victims of sexual harassment too.Alice: So Rob have you thought about the answer to my question. Which of these countries already have female-only train carriages?Canada, Japan, Egypt or GermanyRob: I’ll have a guess. Is it Canada and Japan?Alice: The answers are Japan and Egypt. Female-only train carriages were first introduced in Japan in the year 2000 during the busy end-of-year festive9 season when lots of people had been celebrating. And you can also find female-only train carriages in Cairo, Egypt, Brazil, Malaysia and Taiwan. So before we go Rob shall we review some of today’s language?Rob: Yes of course. female-only carriages commuters sexual harassment taking advantage state-run rail operator easy to spot to raise awareness cramped on purpose verbalAlice: Well that’s all we’ve got time for today. Thanks for joining us and see you next time. Bye!What motivates us to take on life's challenges? Is it the lure of money, fame, power? Or is it something else?In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Pink challenges traditional concepts of what drives us to act -- and shares some surprising scientific explanations for why we do what we do.The science behind motivationPink says there's a big gap between what science knows and what business leaders know about how to motivate a workforce.Pink says most businesses operate today on the carrot-and-stick system of rewards and punishments. Employees are rewarded for good performance, and penalized for performing badly. Author Daniel Pink believe a system of rewards and punishments works well for simple, routine jobs.According to Pink, the carrot-and-stick approach usually works well in situations where workers are performing simple, routine tasks, like checking products on an assembly line or packing boxes. But for jobs that require creativity, and deeper, more complex thinking, such as writing or designing, employers need to take a different approach.What really motivates us?People in more creative jobs are not as motivated by external factors like cash rewards, according to Pink. They do their job because they like it."They like the challenge of it, they like the mastery of it, they like the engagement that it brings, they like the creativity that it requires," says Pink.He calls these intrinsic or internal motivators. An intrinsic motivator says Pink, is doing something for the sake of the activity itself. "So you play the banjo because you like to play the banjo," he says.Extrinsic motivator on the other hand, is doing something in order to get a reward. A person might work really hard at their job if they know the person with the most sales will get a $100 gift card.AutonomyPink says intrinsic motivators can be broken down into three components: The first is autonomy; "that is, self-direction." The second is mastery, "our desire to become better at something that matters," and finally, purpose, "to do what we do in service of something larger than ourselves.""Those are really the pathway to high performance on a whole range of things," says Pink, "especially on the more creative, conceptual, complex things that more and more people in this country, in the United States, in Western Europe, in Canada, in Australia, in Japan in much of the industrialized world are doing."Pink goes on to explain the importance of autonomy in situations where people are in restricted environments:"The history of humans of all kinds of societies -- western, eastern, modern, ancient -- is that human beings typically resist control," he says. Pink says people, like these Iranian protesters in July 2009, follow a natural instinct to resist control and direct their own lives. ."So you have people in Iran who are protesting that government even though it puts them in harm's way, because they don't want to be controlled. You have a young man who stands in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square. I mean that is, I think, our human nature; human nature is to direct our own lives and to resist control."Pink believes the greatest things that have happened in human civilization have been the result of people being able to do what they wanted to do:"Most great pieces of art, most great pieces of music, many great architectural triumphs, many great technological innovations, the things that last and endure, are often the product, obviously, of human ingenuity, but also the product of the autonomy that allowed people to be ingenious," he says.Jerry BauerBest-selling author Daniel Pink reveals the surprising truth about what motivates us, in his new book, 'Drive.'MasteryAnother element of intrinsic motivation, says Pink, is the element of mastery. That is, "the desire to get better at things."He quotes a recent Harvard business school research that shows that the biggest motivator at work - by far - is making progress."The days that people feel most engaged, most motivated, are the days when they've made some progress in their work," he says.Pinks believes that one of a manager's biggest roles is to help people see their progress, and to recognize and celebrate it. Making progress he says, "is one of those things that [make up] the virtuous circle, so that if you make progress one day, you're more likely to be motivated, which makes it more likely that you'll make progress the next day."PurposeIn addition to autonomy and mastery, says Pink, there's a third element of intrinsic motivation, the universal human desire for a sense of purpose."We tend to work better when we know what we're doing matters in some way," he says. "Not necessarily matters in some super transcendent eliminate-green-house-gases from the atmosphere way, but can be simply writing a great story that helps people understand their world a little bit better; or creating a product that makes people live their lives a little easier, or creating something that brings beauty to somebody's life."Daniel Pink believes that as we learn more about the science of human motivation, society will adapt."I think that what the science shows here is very much in sync with our instincts," he says."Humans are complex. They're different. We have a mix of drives. We do things for silly irrational reasons and we do things because of getting the reward or the punishment, but we also do things for big, transcendent reasons," he says. "That's part of what it is to be human - and now you have a body of science that shows what I think we know in our hearts - and I think that's a pretty good combination."Pink says today's business managers, facing the increasingly competitive pressures of a global marketplace, may be more inclined than ever before to question traditional attitudes about what motivates, and ultimately fulfills us, as humans.Disabled army veteran Doris Moffit gets help from a dog named Bubba. Since hurting her back 12 years ago, Moffit has been in a wheelchair, and Bubba is her companion.In recent years, the disabled have been getting help from dogs like Bubba. For 80 years, dogs have guided the blind.In Santa Rosa, California, the Assistance Dog Institute trains dogs as human helpers. Institute president Bonnie Bergin helped create the idea of the service dog in 1975, after spending time in Asia.She saw disabled people use donkeys to help them move around and carry their belongings, and thought dogs could do the same."Everywhere I went, I was told it was a bad idea," she said.She persisted and has trained hundreds of dogs to turn on lights, open refrigerators and perform other basic tasks for the disabled.Bergin worked with a disabled woman named Kerry Knaus to show that dogs can be effective helpers."Kerry was in a power wheelchair and she was the most dynamic person I've ever met," Bergin said. "And so between the work that the dog did, that she did and that I did, we created this concept."Training starts with three-and-a-half week-old puppies. At 12 weeks, the dogs know 90 commands, and before long, are providing help and security for their owners.Doris Moffitt says having the dog makes her feel safer.A dog can also be a close companion for the disabled."And this dog becomes their very, very best friend, not just a helpmate, but a partner, a friend and a helpmate combined, and it's magical. When you see it work, it's magical," Bergin said.There are thousands of assistance dogs at work around the world, and Bergin says she hopes the practice continues to spread so that more disabled people can enjoy the companionship and help they need.。

From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as far as Fremont, it costs a lot more.Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that. Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth.Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take?Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right?Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one stop on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station. Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change t rains.Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it?Denise: It’s 8:15.Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after 8:04.Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch?Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train rig ht away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming! You’d better hurry so you don’t miss it!Part ThreeExercise 3AThe BART system is a modern metro that links thirty-nine stations throughout Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

You can at least get something warm there.A: Well, I guess we don?t have any other choice.B: Yeah, it?s either the canteen or three hours of listening to your stomach growl.Teacher: Good evening class. Before we begin tonight?s lesson. I want to remind you about next Thursday?s midterm. Remember to review chapters one through eight in the book. You will be responsible for knowing all of the information in the chapters plus all of the other topics we have discussed in class. This test will include multiple choice, True/False, and essay questions. You will not be able to use any books, notes or dictionaries.Now, last week, I spoke about the importance of using note cards and visual aids to prepare your speeches. Tonight I?m going to talk about specific things that will helpyou with your speech delivery. Please take careful notes so you can use those techniques to improve your speech delivery.The first and perhaps the most important element of good speech delivery is eye contact. It is extremely important, especially in the English-speaking world, to make eye contact with your entire audience. This may be very difficult for you if you come from a culture where making direct eye contact is a sign of disrespect. But, you really need to practice this skill until you are comfortable looking directly at all of your audience members when you are speaking to them. Please note that you need to look at the entire audience. Please don?t direct yourattention to just one person or one side of the room, and really be sure not to stare into the eyes of anyone for too long of a period.Next, you need to make sure that when you talk to your audience, you are enthusiastic about your topic and excited to share it with your audience. Vitality is a way of maintaining the audience?s attention and indicating to them that you firmly believe in what you are saying. Volume, intonation, facial expressions, and gestures all add to the vitality of your speech. Think abut a speaker you really liked. Did he or she just stand there and read words from a piece of paper? No, of course not. Probably the speaker was full of life and his or her energy forced you into becoming involved in caring about the topic of the speech.4.Dr. Stevens: Ted, can I speak to you a minute?Ted: Yes, Doctor Stevens?Dr. Stevens: I finished reading your essay and before I return it to you, I was hoping you might be able to come in and speak with me about it.Ted: Oh, uh, okay, sure.\Dr. Stevens: Can you come during my office hours?Ted: I think so. When are they again?Dr. Stevens: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 o?clock until 4:30.Ted: That?s no problem Oh, wait a minute, I have football practice every day from 2o?clock until 5 o?clock.Dr. Stevens: Hmm. Well, how about if we get together tomorrow right before class?Ted: Sure.5. You have reached the Student Union Activity Hotline.

Maybe I can find a copy on .2. I used the new computer registration system to charge my tuition on my credit card, and they totally messed it up. They were supposed to charge me $500 for the two art classes, and instead, it says that I?m enrolled in three history classes to the tune of $900. This isridiculous!3. Today is my graduation day. I am done! Now, I can finally spend my weekends doing something other than cramming for exams and writing term papers. Yippee!4. This schedule is baffling. It says that English 90 is offered at both the midtown and downtown campuses, but the times are vague. Look here; does this nine mean AM or PM? Hmm, I?m stumped.5. Oh yeah. I absolutely recommend professor Ponz. She?s a real dilly, let me tell you. If you enjoy writing endless term papers on meaningless subjects, participating in class activities that have zero relevance to the topic of the course, she?s the teacher for you!2单元Denise: Excuse me, miss, how much does it cost to ride BART?Stranger: Well, that depends on your destination.

Boy, do I need coffee. I was up till 2:30 last night for the second night in a row.Ruth: More trouble with the lovebirds?David: Yeah, good ole Michael and Betty were at it again all night.Ruth: Were they breaking dishes again?David: No, I don?t think they have any dishes left after the last fight. They were yelling about his old girlfriend.Ruth: Haven?t you spoken to them/ I mean, don?t they know they?re keeping you up all night?David: I think when they?re fighting, they don?t care about anything else. I banged on the ceiling with a broom for about five minutes and they kept yelling.Ruth: They sound like very selfish people.David: You?ve got that right, Ruth.Ruth: Why don?t you just call the landlord?David: He doesn?t care if I?m unhappy. He wants me to move! I?velived in the building the longest, and with rent control, I pay half as much as they do. If I move, he can jack up the price.Ruth: What about the other neighbors? Can?t you all get together and complain?David: Are you kidding? I have had problems with everybody in that building! Rob and Steve, the people who live next door to Michael and Betty, crank-up the volume of their stereo at all hours of the night.Ruth: That?s terrible.David: yeah, those two guys are so busy throwing parties that they probably never even hear the fighting.Ruth: Well, there has to be someone in your building who you like.David: There is Mrs. Anderson, the woman who lives below me. She?s87 years old, as sweet as can be with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, she?s a little deaf and I?m sure she never hears any of the noise in the building. Actually, as much as I like her, she?salso a problem.Ruth: How so?David: Her niece phones from out of state every Sunday morning at6:30 to check on her. The trouble is because she?s deaf, she screamsinto the phone, and it wakes me up.Ruth: Every Sunday?David: Yes, and the sound of her voice goes right up through thefloor “Hello? Yes, dear. It?s so good to hear your voice.” She?s more reliable than an alarm clock!Ruth: Wow, that sounds like a real nightmare!David: It?s not her fault, poor old thing. She?s just very old and her health isn?t good.Ruth: I?m pretty lucky. The biggest problem I have is the garbage collectors waking me up at 5:30 in the morning three times a week when they empty the cans. But, I can usually fall asleep again after they leave.David: At least your neighbors put their garbage into the cans! Art, the guy who lives next door to Mrs. Anderson, is sometimes such a pig. He ever seems to throw away his garbage. Whenever I walk by his door I have to hold my nose.Ruth: Maybe you just need to start looking for a new place to live.David: And give up my book?Ruth: Book? What book?David: I told you about my book, didn?t I? I?m writing a book about a guy who lives in an apartment building with a bunch of crazy people. I hope it?ll be a big Hollywood movie someday.Ruth: That sounds fantastic, but can?t you write the book in a nice quiet apartment in another building?David: No way! Every week I get a new idea for a chapter from somebody in the building. If I move now, I?ll never be able to finish the book!Exercise 4 Vocabulary in ContextNarrator: 1.

Husband: Honey, I think it?s time we redid this room.Wife: Gee, I kind of like it the way it is.Husband: Oh, come on. Look at this floor—it?s totally scratched. It needs to be refinished or carpeted.Wife: Yeah, and while we?re at it, we might as well paint the wall around the fireplace.There are smoke stains all over it from last year?s Christmas party.Husband: Now you?re talking! Why don?t we wallpaper the other three walls in here too? Then if we get some new drapes and maybe a couple of lamps—Wife: Wait a second. This is getting out of hand. Why don?t we just move the armchair over to cover the scratched floor and save ourselves a lot of money and trouble.2. Painter: Good morning. I?m from Daniel?s Paint-O-Rama.Woman: Oh, good. Com on in. Would you like some coffee?Painter: Maybe later. Now, have you decided on the color?Woman: I was thinking white might be nice.Painter: I wouldn?t have white in this room. It would get dirtypretty quickly.Woman: Couldn?t we use enamel paint? It?s easy to clean, right?Painter: But it smells horrible and takes a long time to dry. You wont? be able to use this room until tomorrow.Woman: Oh, my. Well, I guess we could go to a restaurant…Painter: Why don?t you choose a color that goes with your linoleum?I could nix up a shade of latex semi-gloss that matches this blue.Woman: What about the latex semi-gloss in white? Couldn?t I washthat down if it gotdirty?Painter: Yes, you could, but you?ll still have to do it more often than if you choose another color. And if you clean it too often, the finish will start to rub off.Woman: Maybe we?d better stick with the enamel then.3. Tenant: Look at the ceiling; it?s cracked and peeling over here; there?s a big water stain on the wall in the corner, and—Landlord: Okay, why don?t you get some paint and fix it up and I?ll pay for it.Tenant: I don?t think that?s going to fix the problem. It?s happened before and I don?t feel like wasting my time and energy covering up problem that?s just going to happen again.Landlord: Well, I?m not sure what else you want me to do. I said I?d pay to fix it.Tenant; I want you to find out what?s causing this!Landlord: Well, I?ll talk to Steven upstairs and warn him to be more careful in the future.Tenant: I don?t think Steven is the problem. The last time this happened he wasn?t even home. Besides, he?s always been a considerate neighbor.Landlord: Maybe you steam up the room yourself. That can cause a lot of chipping and peeling. A small room like this full of steam can do a lot of damage.Tenant: Look, don?t try to turn this around on me. I always leavethe window and door open so it doesn?t steam up. Either you send someone over to repair this, or else I?ll get somebody and deduct the cost from the rent. It?s up to you.4. Meg: Tony? Tony? Tony!。

Unit 8 War Background 战时风云Section 1: Braveheart (勇敢的心1995, USA)(Castle in Edinburgh)Craig: I knight thee Sir William Wallace. Sir William, in the name of God we declare and appoint thee guardian and high protector of Scotland and thy Captains asaides-de-camp. Stand and be recognized.(William presents necklaces to his men)Robert: Does anyone know his politics?Craig: No, but his weight with the commoners can unbalance everything. The Balliols will kiss his arse so we must.Balliol supporter: Sir William, Sir William. In as much as you and your captains hail from a region long known to support the Balliol clan, may we invite you to continue yoursupport and uphold our rightful claim.Mornay: Damn the Balliol clan! They're all Longshanks' men!(Screaming)William: Gentlemen! Gentlemen!Balliol supporter: Now is the time to declare a king.Mornay: Wait! Then you are prepared to recognize our legitimate succession.Balliol supporter: You're the ones who won't support the rightful claim.(Screaming)Balliol supporter: Oh, no. That's the truth.Mornay: Those were lies when you first wrote them.Balliol supporter: I demand recognition of these document．.(Disgusted, Wallace starts to walk out.)Craig: Gentlemen! Please, Gentlemen! Wait! Sir William, where are you going? William: We have beaten the English, but they'll come back because you won't stand together.Craig: Well what will you do?William: I will invade England and defeat the English on their own ground.Craig: Invade? That's impossible.William: Why? Why is that impossible? You're so concerned with squabbling for the scraps from Longshank's table that you've missed your God-given right tosomething better. There is a difference between us. You think the people of thiscountry exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists toprovide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it. (The debate starts again)(Outside)Robert: Wait! I respect what you said, but remember that these men have lands and castles. It's much to risk.William: And the common man who bleeds on the battlefield, does he risk less? Robert: No, but from top to bottom this country has no sense of itself.
