Unit 6 in book 4Part One Listening,Understanding and SpeakingListening 1Ex 1: 3,5,6,8,10Ex 2: four, 6.9, 5.1, doubly, far moreScripts:Husband: Oh! It’s unbelievable!Wife: What’s the matter?Husband: The article says that lifespan varies according to race, income level and whether you are male or female. Now, can you guess which is the most important factor?Wife: Hmm, I think it might be the sex.Husband: That’s right! My grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa. Generally speaking, women live longer than men. In 1993, the average lifespan of women was 6.9 yearslonger than that of men in the United States.Wife: 6.9 years! I can’t believe it. Then how about race?Husband: About race, the paper says white woman live 5.1 years longer than black women.Wife: So this means I am doubly lucky since I’m a white woman.Husband: Yes. But actually the largest risk you could run is being poor. Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking, drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.Wife: That’s true. If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions, good medical care and good nutrition. But still I have a question. Why do women live longer than men?Husband: I think you’d better ask the experts.Listening 2Ex 1: FTFTTEx 2: 1.bad, degree, opportunity 2.relate, measure these risks 3.mathematics, occur rmation, statistical risk 5.pollution, smoking, fiberScripts:The possibility that something bad will happen is a risk. Risk can also be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunity. All risks have possible negative results. However, some risks are worth taking. For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school football team. You risk a possible injury while playing to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team. You decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the injury. By being fit, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.How can we determine the risks involved in an action? Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied. These risks relate to choices made over activities or behaviour that influence one’s health, either positively or negatively. Scientists can use statistics to measure these risks. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that helps determine the possibility that something will occur. The information about this possibility is called statistical risk and can help you make healthy choices.For example, statistics indicate that in the United States the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent. In other words, two out of every 10 deaths are due to some kind of cancer. Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high. However, statistics also show that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over which you have some control. In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancer. These include such things as avoiding pollution, mot smoking and eating a diet high in fiber. If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.Listening 3Ex 1: AHCLE GINJF KMOBDEx 2: BDDDDScripts:If you plan to go hiking in the wilderness or a national park, make sure you are prepared. A compass, a knife, and maps are essential items to take with you. You should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case; some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from and then go back that way.If you can't find the trail, try to explore the area, marking your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. You may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until the morning. Even a full moon won't give you enough light to see; it can throw shadows that hide dangers.If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. You can also use bright colors, shiny metal or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.Listening 4Ex 1: Ex 2:1-5 B D C D B 5 7 3 1 4 6 2Scripts:I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Well, I was flying over the mountains when suddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got my parachute on, and got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was lying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot.Part Four Further Speaking and ListeningFurther ListeningListening 1Ex 1: F T T T FEx 2: 1. 17，Mallett Street, Alford 2. 6943168 3. fire service 4. 18 5. 16, 20Scripts:Balley: Hello, fire service.Grace:Oh, em, I'm ringing because I think there's a fire in the house across the street.

But don't go into the house.Listening 2Ex 1: CBCDAScripts:Six days ago, in Russia, a mine was flooded and lots of miners were trapped underground. Nobody knew how much air was inside and what the situation was to the trapped miners. Rescue teams tried every way to get some message from the miners, but it all seemed in vain. This caused worldwide concerns. The accident was reported by the world media. But this morning, to people's great surprise, came the dramatic news that rescue teams had dug 60 meters and tunneled through. They had discovered survivors in the part of the mine not flooded. For the rest of the miners, however, those were really anxious moments. They had prepared themselves for the worst. Now suddenly there was hope that they could see their loved ones again. And then they too were rescued and brought out of the mine. Exhausted and wounded, they were not strong enough to wave to their relatives or friends. Wrapped with blankets, these survivors were carefully handed over to the ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. However, not everyone survived. One miner was reported to have been found dead, another missing.Listening 3Ex 1: TTFFFEx 2: 1. killed 2. wall 3. leg 4. killed 5. two 6 .avoid 7. hit 8. damaged 9. hurt 10 .frightening Scripts:( Joe Burns is a famous racing driver.

I suppose that's right.Reporter: When was your worst accident?Joe: I'd say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.Reporter: Is that the only time you've been close to death?Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged,but luckily, I wasn't even hurt.Reporter: You must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn't be a racing-driver otherwise?Joe: I don't know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.Reporter: Really? Was that during your last race?Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during rush hour.Listening 4Ex 1: TFTFFFFFEx 2: 1. New York 2. luxury liners 3. heroism 4. evil 5. “unsinkable” 6. July 26,1956 7. 18. 101 9. Iceberg 10. Yes 11. 1500 12. 60 13, half 14. More than enough15. another shipScripts:On the morning of April 10, 1912, the luxury liner,Titanic, left England on a voyage to New York. Four days later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner, Andrea Doria, left Italy. It was also traveling to New York. Eight days later, this great ship also lay at thebottom of the Atlantic.The sinking of the two huge ships shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world's rich and famous people. In fact, 10 American millionaires lost their lives when Titanic went down. Today, millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.Another similarity is that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and of evil. Some people acted very bravely, even heroically. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. One last similarity is that both of these ships were considered "unsinkable". People believed that they would never sink.There are also differences between these great ship disasters. To begin with, Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic; Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her hundred and first transatlantic crossing. Another difference is that the ships sank for different reasons. Titanic struck an iceberg; while Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Also, Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship; but Titanic was not equipped with radar--It had only a lookout. The lookout was only able to see the iceberg moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents is the number of lives lost. When Titanic sank, more than 1,500 people died--They drowned or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic water. Also, about 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident, 60 people lost their lives, and around 1,650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on Titanic is that the ship was considered to be unsinkable, so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats torescue all the people aboard. Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship. However, they were only able to use about half of the lifeboats due to a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting too that the wreck of Titanic was only found in September, 1985.。

英语高级视听说上册听力原文上外版Unit 4For much of 2005, the news out of Iraq has overshadowed what has been going on in Afghanistan, where 18,000 U.S. troops are still fighting and dying along the Pakistan border in battles with the Taliban, al Qaeda and other Muslim extremist groups.The rest of Afghanistan, at least compared to Iraq, appears relatively peaceful. But the country is facing another threat to its stability — its growing addiction the production and trafficking of heroin, which is controlled by some of the most powerful people in the country.Correspondent ,Steve Kroft, reports.Afghanistan is now the world's largest exporter of heroin, and the opium used to produce it, supplying 87 percent of the world market. And it is creating an infrastructure of crime and corruption that threatens the government of President Hamid Karzai.The heroin trade begins with fields of opium poppies grown in almost every province of Afghanistan. Last year, according to the U.S. state department, 206,000 hectares were cultivated, a half a million acres, producing 4,000 tons of opium, most of which was converted into 400 tons of illegal morphine and heroin in laboratories around the country.How much opium and heroin is that?"It is not only the largest heroin producer in the world, 206,000 hectares is the largest amount of heroin or of any drug that I think has ever been produced by any one country in any given year," says Robert Charles, who until last spring was assistant secretary of state for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, overseeing anti-drug operations in Afghanistan.Charles says Afghanistan is producing more heroin than Colombia is producing cocaine.After 25 years of war, it is the country's main cash crop, contributing nearly three billion dollars a year in illegal revenues to the Afghan economy, which equals 50 percent of the gross national product.The laundered proceeds are no doubt funding much of the rebuilding of Kabul, which is experiencing a major construction boom.But the best way to illustrate the sheer volume of the drug trade is to tour the basement vault underneath Afghanistan's Counter Narcotics police in Kabul, whereone and a half tons of heroins, just seized in the provinces, was awaiting destruction. One and a half tons of pure heroin is much larger than the biggest shipment ever seized in the United States, and once cut and repackaged it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the streets of a western city.Y et the seizure is less than one percent of all the heroin produced in Afghanistan last year, production which has increased more than 2,000 percent since 2001."That acceleration should be sending a blinking red light to all of us right now. Drug money is going to accelerate the disintegration of democratic institutions," warns Charles.What is happening, Charles says, is the transformation of a poor, war torn country struggling with democracy into a narco state where power emanates from a group of drug kingpins far more powerful than the new government.The process began in 2001 when the United States forged military alliances with powerful warlords and used their private armies to drive al Qaeda and the Taliban out of the country.But some of Afghanistan's biggest warlords also happen to be some of the countries biggest drug lords. Now that they are part of the government, often in high places, a few are even charged with eradicating the drug traffic that many people believe they're still involved in.One former warlord suspected of being involved in the opium trade is Hazrat Ali, whose private army fought against al Qaeda at the battle of Tora Bora. In appreciation of his efforts, he was placed in charge of security for Nangahar province until he resigned recently to run for parliament.He also happens to be named in a United Nations report as one of the provincial officials suspected of being heavily involved in drug trafficking.Ali doesn't deny that the heroin business flourishes in the region but denied that he is involved in the trade. "No. Y ou can ask anyone. I am opposed to drugs. If everyone was like me, there wouldn't be an opium plant in Afghanistan."60 Minutes had no difficulty finding people to make the allegations; proving them is another matter since there is virtually no criminal justice system in place to pursue them.In all of Afghanistan there are barely 100 people in jail for drug offenses, most of them small time players.Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai, who is considered honest and well intentioned, outlawed the cultivation and trafficking of opium three years ago, but has neither the power nor the prosecutors to enforce it."It is the top priority. Not one of the top — the top priority now," says Karzai."There have been lots of reports that many of the people in the provinces, many o f the former commanders, have been involved with drug trafficking in the past. And some believe still continue to be involved in drug trafficking," Kroft says.Karzai agrees. "A lot of people are still involved in drug trafficking," he says. "Maybe even there are people in the government who may be involved in drug trafficking. Drug trafficking, drug cultivation, poppy cultivation, was a major way of life in this country. Now that the country's going back toward stability, now that we have a better hope for tomorrow, that we have hope for tomorrow, the Afghan people have begun to distance themselves. Slowly, slowly."Things are moving much too slowly for the country's top law enforcement officer, interior minister Ali Amad Jalali, who resigned last month after complaining about the lack of progress in stemming the opium trade, and bringing government officials involved in it to justice.Last June, his elite Afghan anti-drug force, trained and assisted by the British, raided the offices of Sher Muhammed Akhundzada, the Governor of Helmand Province, another warlord widely suspected of being involved in the drug trade.They seized nine and a half tons on opium, but the investigation went nowhere. Governor Akhunzada said the drugs were not his but that they had been seized by police and were just being stored at his headquarters.He showed 60 Minutes a locker now loaded with another two and a half tons of opium. "This is opium that we confiscated. We have to keep the confiscated opium in a safe place. And this is where we keep it," says Akhunzada, through a translator.Not everyone bought that argument, especially the chief counter-narcotics officer for Helmand Province. When the investigation stalled, Abdul Samad Haqqani went on Radio Liberty, which is funded by the U.S. Congress, and denounced the governor as a major narcotics trafficker.Haqqani has since disappeared and President Karzai says he would look into the matter.As for the tons of opium in the Governor's administrative office, Karzai wasn't the least bit surprised"It's almost half of the economy," he says. "Why would it surprise me if there was poppy found in a governor's office? Or administrative offices? Whether they were confiscated or whether they belonged to somebody. In both cases, it doesn't surp rise me."Asked how his government would deal with the governor amid these allegations, Karzai says the governor asked to be removed."This governor of Helmand, he has come to me a number of times to say that he is tired of working in Helmand precisely because of these allegations," Karzai says. "He says, 'Well remove me' and we have not removed him. Because right now, under thecircumstances, any replacement would find it difficult to continue the fight against terrorism the way he's doing it there — in that province and at the borders."Karzai went on to say that no investigation was needed and that the governor could be removed and assigned to other government work."We don't need an investigation on him," Karzai says. "We will remove him from his place and bring him to do some other government work. Maybe he should become a senator or something."Antonio Maria Costa, director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, says he has pleaded with Karzai to do something about senior officials and governors involved in the drug business."These people who have been involved, senior officials and governors who were involved in the drug economy should be removed," says Costa. "Removed from office and possibly removed from the country."Costa says the need to fight terrorism and defeat the insurgency should not be used as an excuse to ignore the opium trade. "I think it is the responsibility of the Afghan government and the foreign powers assisting it to fight both narcotics and the insurgency. I will say that fighting one is equal to fighting the other."The British, who have overall responsibility for counter narcotics in Afghanistan, and the Americans, have limited their role to assisting the Karzai government in training anti-drug units and providing occasional logistical support for their missions to confiscate opium and destroy drug labs. So far they have destroyed 150 labs.The American military has no direct role in counter narcotics. Its responsibility is fighting terrorism and providing security and stability. If U.S. troops come across opium they can take action but it is not part of their mission.Robert Charles says the U.S. military has limited resources to commit to the effort and feels that aggressive action could disrupt the flow of intelligence. "It is easy to say, 'We will get to this issue in time' the way we get to other social issues. But we don't have time."And Charles doesn't think it is just a threat to the mission. "I think it is a threat to the Democracy. Why is it a threat to democracy? First, it has a potential for public corruption. Second, it funds the violent elements in society. Finally, it sends a signal that the rule of law doesn't matter."One U.S. counter-narcotics official told Kroft that corruption is worse in Afghanistan than it is in Colombia, and estimated that 90 percent of the police chiefs are either directly involved in the drug business or protecting those who are.The British trained mobile unit says it is under orders to stop police cars and official motorcades as well as ordinary buses. Official vehicles are the preferred means of transporting opium.There have been a few small successes. The government has stepped up a modest poppy eradication program, and with the help of the U.S. state department is trying to persuade farmers to grow alternative crops.The number of acres of poppy under cultivation actually dropped 20 percent in 2005, although opium and heroin production remained about the same.In the village of Kushkak, farmers told 60 Minutes that they voluntarily quit growing opium poppy after the government promised to build them health clinics, schools and roads. But the promises have not materialized and they are growing impatient."We did promise them alternative livelihoods," says Karzai. "We have told them that they should stop growing poppy that we'll be there to help them. And if we don't do that, people out of desperation will go back to poppies, and we should not allow that."But illegal profits from the opium and heroin trade are not only helping warlords and corrupt officials expand their influence over the government. There is evidence that some of the money is ending up with the Taliban and al Qaeda, who elicit tolls, protection money and drugs from traffickers in areas they control."Narcotics is such an insidious, creeping, potentially lethal problem in that country that it needs to be elevated to a rank that is commensurate with that threat," says Charles.Asked whether he is saying that this issue is as important as fighting terrorism, he said, "I am."。

Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

After the wedding, there is a big party—a wedding reception. All the guests eat dinner. There is a band and, after dinner, everyone dances. Sally's mother and father pay for everything. At the end of the reception, Sally andher new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house. After moving in, they invite their friends and family to a party—a housewarming party. Everybody comes to see the new house. They look at the bedrooms, the dining room, even the garage. Pete and Rose serve drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. The party is on a Saturday afternoon.It is Christmas time. Ted and Sarah Robinson want to see many of their friends over the holiday. So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes, others stay for 3 hours. About fifty people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party. They don't serve much food, just snacks—pretzels, chips, peanuts and many types of drinks. No one dances. Conversation is important with people asking questions like "What's new with you?".。

Bob White: Good morning, Dr. Herring! We both know that many communication specialists specialists believe believe believe that that that gender gender gender bias bias bias exists exists exists in in in language, language, language, culture culture culture and and society. Do you think this is really so? Dr. Herring:Y es, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin during childhood. Children usually play together with other children of the same gender, and this is where our conversational style is learned. Bob White: Can you give some specific examples? Dr. Herring:Certainly. We find that girls use language mainly to develop closeness or or intimacy intimacy intimacy as as as a a a basis basis basis for for for friendship. friendship. friendship. Boys, Boys, Boys, on on on the the the contrary, contrary, contrary, use use language mainly to earn status in their group. Bob White:But, in communication through electronic devices like e-mail discussion discussion groups, groups, groups, there there there should should should be be be no no no gender gender gender distinction distinction distinction if if if writers' writers' names are not used in the messages. Dr. Herring:One might think so, but in fact, email writing style is more comparable comparable with with with spoken spoken spoken language, language, language, so so so basic basic basic language language language styles styles styles are are are still still evident. Bob White:I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral! Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because of different communication and language styles between the sexes. Bob White:How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts t o to to back up this back up this impression? Dr. Herring: Yes. I've I've done done done a a a research research research project project project using using using randomly randomly randomly selected selected selected e-mail e-mail messages messages from from from online online online discussion discussion discussion groups. groups. groups. I I I found found found that that that females females females use use language language that that that is is is more more more collaborative collaborative collaborative and and and supportive supportive supportive such such such as as as "Thanks "Thanks for for all all all your your your tips tips tips on...", on...", on...", "Good "Good "Good point." point." point." and and and "Hope "Hope "Hope this this this helps!". helps!". helps!". Men Men tend to use more aggressive or competitive language such as "Do you understand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd to think...". Bob White:How great are these gender differences? Dr. Herring: Males Males write write messages messages messages using using using aggressive, aggressive, aggressive, competitive competitive competitive language language language more more than than twice twice twice as as as often often often as as as females females females did, did, did, while while while females females females use use use collaborative collaborative and and supportive supportive supportive language language language three three three times times times as as as often often often as as as males males males did. did. did. In In In this this study, it is clear that there is a gender difference in e-mail messages just as in other communication media. Bob White:So the "battle of the sexes" is still with us, even online. Questions:1. According to Dr. Herring, when is children’s conversational style lear ned? 2. Which of the following is most similar to e-mail writing in style? 3. Why is there still no equality on the Internet? 4. What comparison did Dr. Herring make in her speech? Keys: 1. C 2. B 3. A 4.

Right? Sometimes the equation changes if the driver is a girl and the passenger is a guy who doesn't drive. So what h appens? Should the happens? Should the girl open the door for the guy or should the guy open the door for the girl? Maybe we should just adopt an "open your own door" policy.

Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth. Rather Rather what what what I I I meant meant meant was was was except except except for for for the the the physical physical physical and and and natural natural natural differences differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them. Cathy: Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out a chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, as many guys don't do it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of me and went through the door first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold the door and not let it slam in my face. John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it for the people behind me, be it a girl or a boy. I actually had the door slam right in my face a number of times though, when the person walking closely in front of me didn't hold the heavy glass door and let it swing back in my face. Of course, I tried tried to to to hold hold hold the the the door, door, door, but but but it it it was was was too too too heavy heavy heavy and and and too too too late. late. late.

Even when our physical structures are revealed to be really similar, women and men "tend" to play different roles in society. In an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today , we find a study that reflects how parents of fifteen girl babies and fifteen boy babies differed in their descriptions of their babies.

Thus, a simple cartoon can suggest to children how they are supposed to act. Male cartoon characters are not only more prominent than female characters, but they also portray a broader range of masculine traits. Male characters are powerful, strong, smart and aggressive. Of course roles have been changing over the past decades. Nowadays, women are not not necessarily necessarily necessarily expected expected expected to to to stay stay stay home home home raising raising raising their their their family family family and and and supporting supporting supporting their their husbands.

Some say that this is simply a matter of biology; others suggest that it is a function of the way we organize the sex and gender roles in our society. In fact, many of the findings, in this area, have turned out to be unsatisfactory, and often there turns out to be very small differences with a large degree of overlap. Biologically, men certainly seem to be the weaker sex. On average, men experience heart attacks 10 y ears earlier than women, but years earlier than women, but have a better rate of survival if they survive the first year after an attack. Symptoms also vary by sex: Women experience shortness shortness of of of breath, breath, breath, fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, and and and chest chest chest pain; pain; pain; most most most male male male heart heart heart attacks attacks attacks come come come on on on as as as a a sudden, striking pain i n in in the chest. the chest. In In adulthood, men are more likely to adulthood, men are more likely to be infected with viruses and have a shorter average lifespan. In recent years, a great many biological sex differences have been found throughout the body, including the brain. However, regardless of the findings that sex differences really do exist after all and despite the pressure to deny them, socially, we still expect women to behave like women and men like men.

英语高级视听说上册听力原文上外版Unit 4For much of 2005, the news out of Iraq has overshadowed what has been going on in Afghanistan, where 18,000 U.S. troops are still fighting and dying along the Pakistan border in battles with the Taliban, al Qaeda and other Muslim extremist groups.The rest of Afghanistan, at least compared to Iraq, appears relatively peaceful. But the country is facing another threat to its stability — its growing addiction the production and trafficking of heroin, which is controlled by some of the most powerful people in the country.Correspondent ,Steve Kroft, reports.Afghanistan is now the world's largest exporter of heroin, and the opium used to produce it, supplying 87 percent of the world market. And it is creating an infrastructure of crime and corruption that threatens the government of President Hamid Karzai.The heroin trade begins with fields of opium poppies grown in almost every province of Afghanistan. Last year, according to the U.S. state department, 206,000 hectares were cultivated, a half a million acres, producing 4,000 tons of opium, most of which was converted into 400 tons of illegal morphine and heroin in laboratories around the country.How much opium and heroin is that?"It is not only the largest heroin producer in the world, 206,000 hectares is the largest amount of heroin or of any drug that I think has ever been produced by any one country in any given year," says Robert Charles, who until last spring was assistant secretary of state for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, overseeing anti-drug operations in Afghanistan.Charles says Afghanistan is producing more heroin than Colombia is producing cocaine.After 25 years of war, it is the country's main cash crop, contributing nearly three billion dollars a year in illegal revenues to the Afghan economy, which equals 50 percent of the gross national product.The laundered proceeds are no doubt funding much of the rebuilding of Kabul, which is experiencing a major construction boom.But the best way to illustrate the sheer volume of the drug trade is to tour the basement vault underneath Afghanistan's Counter Narcotics police in Kabul, whereone and a half tons of heroins, just seized in the provinces, was awaiting destruction. One and a half tons of pure heroin is much larger than the biggest shipment ever seized in the United States, and once cut and repackaged it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the streets of a western city.Yet the seizure is less than one percent of all the heroin produced in Afghanistan last year, production which has increased more than 2,000 percent since 2001."That acceleration should be sending a blinking red light to all of us right now. Drug money is going to accelerate the disintegration of democratic institutions," warns Charles.What is happening, Charles says, is the transformation of a poor, war torn country struggling with democracy into a narco state where power emanates from a group of drug kingpins far more powerful than the new government.The process began in 2001 when the United States forged military alliances with powerful warlords and used their private armies to drive al Qaeda and the Taliban out of the country.But some of Afghanistan's biggest warlords also happen to be some of the countries biggest drug lords. Now that they are part of the government, often in high places, a few are even charged with eradicating the drug traffic that many people believe they're still involved in.One former warlord suspected of being involved in the opium trade is Hazrat Ali, whose private army fought against al Qaeda at the battle of Tora Bora. In appreciation of his efforts, he was placed in charge of security for Nangahar province until he resigned recently to run for parliament.He also happens to be named in a United Nations report as one of the provincial officials suspected of being heavily involved in drug trafficking.Ali doesn't deny that the heroin business flourishes in the region but denied that he is involved in the trade. "No. You can ask anyone. I am opposed to drugs. If everyone was like me, there wouldn't be an opium plant in Afghanistan."60 Minutes had no difficulty finding people to make the allegations; proving them is another matter since there is virtually no criminal justice system in place to pursue them.In all of Afghanistan there are barely 100 people in jail for drug offenses, most of them small time players.Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai, who is considered honest and well intentioned, outlawed the cultivation and trafficking of opium three years ago, but has neither the power nor the prosecutors to enforce it."It is the top priority. Not one of the top — the top priority now," says Karzai."There have been lots of reports that many of the people in the provinces, many of the former commanders, have been involved with drug trafficking in the past. And some believe still continue to be involved in drug trafficking," Kroft says.Karzai agrees. "A lot of people are still involved in drug trafficking," he says. "Maybe even there are people in the government who may be involved in drug trafficking. Drug trafficking, drug cultivation, poppy cultivation, was a major way of life in this country. Now that the country's going back toward stability, now that we have a better hope for tomorrow, that we have hope for tomorrow, the Afghan people have begun to distance themselves. Slowly, slowly."Things are moving much too slowly for the country's top law enforcement officer, interior minister Ali Amad Jalali, who resigned last month after complaining about the lack of progress in stemming the opium trade, and bringing government officials involved in it to justice.Last June, his elite Afghan anti-drug force, trained and assisted by the British, raided the offices of Sher Muhammed Akhundzada, the Governor of Helmand Province, another warlord widely suspected of being involved in the drug trade.They seized nine and a half tons on opium, but the investigation went nowhere. Governor Akhunzada said the drugs were not his but that they had been seized by police and were just being stored at his headquarters.He showed 60 Minutes a locker now loaded with another two and a half tons of opium. "This is opium that we confiscated. We have to keep the confiscated opium in a safe place. And this is where we keep it," says Akhunzada, through a translator.Not everyone bought that argument, especially the chief counter-narcotics officer for Helmand Province. When the investigation stalled, Abdul Samad Haqqani went on Radio Liberty, which is funded by the U.S. Congress, and denounced the governor as a major narcotics trafficker.Haqqani has since disappeared and President Karzai says he would look into the matter.As for the tons of opium in the Governor's administrative office, Karzai wasn't the least bit surprised"It's almost half of the economy," he says. "Why would it surprise me if there was poppy found in a governor's office? Or administrative offices? Whether they were confiscated or whether they belonged to somebody. In both cases, it doesn't surprise me."Asked how his government would deal with the governor amid these allegations, Karzai says the governor asked to be removed."This governor of Helmand, he has come to me a number of times to say that he is tired of working in Helmand precisely because of these allegations," Karzai says. "He says, 'Well remove me' and we have not removed him. Because right now, under thecircumstances, any replacement would find it difficult to continue the fight against terrorism the way he's doing it there — in that province and at the borders."Karzai went on to say that no investigation was needed and that the governor could be removed and assigned to other government work."We don't need an investigation on him," Karzai says. "We will remove him from his place and bring him to do some other government work. Maybe he should become a senator or something."Antonio Maria Costa, director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, says he has pleaded with Karzai to do something about senior officials and governors involved in the drug business."These people who have been involved, senior officials and governors who were involved in the drug economy should be removed," says Costa. "Removed from office and possibly removed from the country."Costa says the need to fight terrorism and defeat the insurgency should not be used as an excuse to ignore the opium trade. "I think it is the responsibility of the Afghan government and the foreign powers assisting it to fight both narcotics and the insurgency. I will say that fighting one is equal to fighting the other."The British, who have overall responsibility for counter narcotics in Afghanistan, and the Americans, have limited their role to assisting the Karzai government in training anti-drug units and providing occasional logistical support for their missions to confiscate opium and destroy drug labs. So far they have destroyed 150 labs.The American military has no direct role in counter narcotics. Its responsibility is fighting terrorism and providing security and stability. If U.S. troops come across opium they can take action but it is not part of their mission.Robert Charles says the U.S. military has limited resources to commit to the effort and feels that aggressive action could disrupt the flow of intelligence. "It is easy to say, 'We will get to this issue in time' the way we get to other social issues. But we don't have time."And Charles doesn't think it is just a threat to the mission. "I think it is a threat to the Democracy. Why is it a threat to democracy? First, it has a potential for public corruption. Second, it funds the violent elements in society. Finally, it sends a signal that the rule of law doesn't matter."One U.S. counter-narcotics official told Kroft that corruption is worse in Afghanistan than it is in Colombia, and estimated that 90 percent of the police chiefs are either directly involved in the drug business or protecting those who are.The British trained mobile unit says it is under orders to stop police cars and official motorcades as well as ordinary buses. Official vehicles are the preferred means of transporting opium.There have been a few small successes. The government has stepped up a modest poppy eradication program, and with the help of the U.S. state department is trying to persuade farmers to grow alternative crops.The number of acres of poppy under cultivation actually dropped 20 percent in 2005, although opium and heroin production remained about the same.In the village of Kushkak, farmers told 60 Minutes that they voluntarily quit growing opium poppy after the government promised to build them health clinics, schools and roads. But the promises have not materialized and they are growing impatient."We did promise them alternative livelihoods," says Karzai. "We have told them that they should stop growing poppy that we'll be there to help them. And if we don't do that, people out of desperation will go back to poppies, and we should not allow that."But illegal profits from the opium and heroin trade are not only helping warlords and corrupt officials expand their influence over the government. There is evidence that some of the money is ending up with the Taliban and al Qaeda, who elicit tolls, protection money and drugs from traffickers in areas they control."Narcotics is such an insidious, creeping, potentially lethal problem in that country that it needs to be elevated to a rank that is commensurate with that threat," says Charles.Asked whether he is saying that this issue is as important as fighting terrorism, he said, "I am."。

新挑战大学英语听力教程（第四册）听力原文及练习答案主编：副主编：编写：上海外语音像出版社上海外语电子出版社Unit One Advertising (1)Part A Long ConversationsTask OneIn this section, you will hear one long conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).HELLER : Have Americans changed their consumption habits radically in the past 20 years?DUNCOMBE : I think that consumption—not just as an act, but as a lifestyle—has become more and more pronounced. We define ourselves by what we buy,or don‟t buy, and these definitions have become more and more particular. HELLER : What is the role of advertising in consumption today? Have consumers simply substituted ads for entertainment?DUNCOMBE : Advertising defines these lifestyles, or subverts already existing lifestyles, and promises us that we can embody them through the purchaseof a product. Given the task of envisioning these life worlds—includingthe life-world of the savvy consumer who does not buy intoconsumption—advertising has become more entertaining, as each ad is asymbol laden mini-narrative. But ads have also gotten more entertainingsimply to cut through the clutter of [hundreds of] channels and get aroundthe TV fast forward.HELLER : Viral and guerrilla campaigns are being launched in place of conventional advertising. Given that advertising is part of the American way of life, howdo you feel about these new strategies? Are they indeed subversive? DUNCOMBE : They‟re subversive strategies insofar as they don‟t present themselves as being strategies at all, but instead appear as cultural and socialmovements, sub cultural artistic expressions, or even innocentconversations. I think the prevalence of “subversive strategies” ofadvertising these days speaks to two things: the disgust that manyconsumers have with traditional advertising and the ease with which theycan avoid it; and the real hunger for engagement in some sort of socialmovement, artistic expression, and conversation that speaks to their needsand desires. Responding to the first, advertisers capitalize on the second. Questions:1. What is consumption according to the second speaker? (B)2. What is the role of advertising? (A)3. Why is advertising becoming more and more entertaining? (D)4. Can consumers avoid traditional advertising easily? (A)5. Why are viral and guerrilla campaigns launched in place of conventional advertising? (C)Task TwoListen to the conversation again and fill in the blanks according to what you have just heard in the conversation.Key:(1) pronounced (2) purchase of a product (3) symbol(4) movement (5) advertisers capitalize on the secondPart B PassagesTask OneYou are going to hear one passage.At the end of the passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear each question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Television advertisements appear between shows, but also interrupt the shows at intervals. This method of screening advertisements is intended to capture or grab the attention of the audience, keeping the viewers focused on the television show so that they will not want to change the channel; instead, they will (hopefully) watch the advertisements while waiting for the next segment of the show. This is a technique of adding suspense, especially if the break occurs at a cliffhanger moment in the show. Entire industries exist that focus solely on the task of keeping the viewing audience interested enough to sit through advertisements. The Nielsen ratings system exists as a way for stations to determine how successful their television shows are, so that theycan decide what rates to charge advertisers for their advertisements. Advertisements take airtime away from programs. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time includes 22 minutes of programming with 6 minutes of national advertising and 2 minutes of local.In other words, over the course of 10 hours, American viewers will see approximately 3 hours of advertisements, twice what they would have seen in the sixties. Furthermore, if that sixties show is rerun today it may be cut by 9 minutes to make room for the extra advertisements (some modern showings of Star Trek exhibit this).Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the average length of a television advertisement was one minute. As the years passed, the average length shrank to 30 seconds (and often 10 seconds, depending on the television station's purchase of ad time).

Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Advertising is a form of (1) communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to obtain and (2) use them. Many advertisements are also (3) designed to generate increased consumption of those products and services through the creation and reinforcement of brand (4) image and brand loyalty. For these purposes advertisements often contain both factual information and persuasive messages. Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including: television, radio, movies, (5) magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet (see Internet advertising), and billboards. Advertising is often placed by an advertising agency on behalf of a company.Advertisements can also be seen on the seats of grocery carts, on the walls of an airport (6) walkway, on the sides of buses, heard in telephone hold messages and in-store public address systems. Advertisements are usually placed (7) anywhere an audience can easily and/or frequently access visuals and/or audio and print(8) Organizations which frequently spend large sums of money on advertising but do not strictly sell a product or service to the general public include: political parties, interest groups, religion-supporting organizations, and militaries looking for new recruits. (9) Additionally, some non-profit organizations are not typical advertising clients and rely upon free channels, such as public service announcements. Advertising spending has increased dramatically in recent years. In the United States alone in 2006, spending on advertising reached $155 billion, reported TNS Media Intelligence. That same year, according to a report titled Global Entertainment and Media Outlook: 2006-2010 issued by global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, worldwide advertising spending was $385 billion. (10) The accounting firm's report projected worldwide advertisement spending to exceed half-a-trillion dollars by 2010.Unit 2 Advertising (2)Part A Long ConversationsTask OneIn this section, you will hear one long conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).HELLER : How do you feel about politics and political issues being sold by ad agencies in the same ways that they sell our goods and services?Shouldn‟t we be taught to see the difference?DUNCOMBE : The problem with selling politics like a bar of soap is that you reproduce the same relationship we have to a bar of soap. Politics thenbecomes something we purchase, try for a while, and then if we don‟tlike it, switch. I think politics demands another approach. In a democracy,people need to engage in the production of politics, not its consumption.In my book I am not suggesting that we learn to advertise politics likeany other product. Instead, I think we have to look deep into advertisingto understand what passions and desires advertisers speak to, and learn tooffer the political equivalent in order to get people engaged in producingpolitics.HELLER : Is consumerism politics? Has it somehow replaced ideology? DUNCOMBE : Along with every product being sold through advertising is a dream of life as it should be—is this any different than capitalist or fascistideology? What makes it different is that it does not announce itself aspolitical. This, in my mind, is what makes it all the more powerful. HELLER : Come on, now, is there anything fundamentally wrong with the way we, as consumers and citizens, consume, and in how we are addressed throughadvertising, marketing, and promotion?DUNCOMBE : Is there anything wrong in how we are addressed? No. I think advertisers are very smart and creative people who have worked out, farbetter than most politics I know, how to speak to our dreams. Is thereanything fundamentally wrong with what is delivered? Y es. It‟s a productin the place of a dream.Questions:1. What should people do regarding politics according to the second speaker ? (D)2.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear each question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).An advertising network or ad network is a company that connects web sites that want to host advertisements with advertisers which want to run advertisements. Increasingly Ad networks are companies that pay software developers as well as web sites money for allowing their ads to be shown when people use their software or visit their sites.Ad networks serve advertising on your website and share advertiser revenue for qualified clicks each time your site's visitors click on ads. An advertising network (also called an online advertising network or ad network) is a collection of (often unrelated) online advertising inventory. When it is clear that the environment involved is the Internet, companies who run or administrate such networks are also called Advertising Agents or simply Agents.Online advertising inventory comes in many different forms. This inventory can be found on websites, in RSS feeds, on blogs, in instant messaging applications, in adware, in e-mails, and on other sources. Some examples of advertising inventory include: banner ads, rich media, text links, and e-mails.An advertiser can buy a run of network package, or a run of category package within the network. The advertising network serves advertisements from its ad server, which responds to a site once a page is called. A snippet of code is called from the ad server, that represents the advertising banner.Large publishers often sell only their remnant inventory through ad networks. Typical numbers range from 10% to 60% of total inventory being remnant and sold through advertising networks.Smaller publishers often sell all of their inventory through ad networks. One type ofad network, known as a blind network, is such that advertisers place ads, but do not know the exact places where their ads are being placed.Questions:1. What is an advertising network?

The annual Super Bowl football game is known as much for its commercial advertisements as for the (3) game itself, and the (4) average cost of a single 30-second TV spot during this game has reached $2.7 million .Because a (5) single television advertisement can be broadcast repeatedly over the course of weeks, months, and even years television advertisement production studios often spend enormous sums of money in the production of one single thirty-second television (6) spot. This vast expenditure has resulted in a number of (7) high-quality advertisements, ones which boast of the best production values, the latest in special effects technology, the most popular personalities, and the best music. (8) A number of television advertisements are so elaborately produced that they can be considered miniature thirty-second movies; indeed, many film directors have directed television advertisements both as a way to gain exposure and to earn a paycheck. One of film director Ridley Scott's most famous cinematic moments was a television advertisement he directed for the Apple Macintosh computer, that aired in 1984. Even though this advertisement was aired only once , it has become famous and well-known, to the point where it is considered a classic television moment.(9) Despite the popularity of some advertisements, many consider them to be an annoyance for a number of reasons. The main reason may be that the sound volume of advertisements tends to be higher than that of regular programming. The increasing number of advertisements, as well as overplaying of the same advertisement, are secondary annoyance factors. (10) A third might be the increasing ability to advertise on television, prompting ad campaigns by everyone from cell-phone companies and fast food restaurants to local businesses and small businesses.Unit 3 TerrorismPart A Long ConversationsTask OneIn this section, you will hear one long conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).W oman: America today has more enemies than friends. Serious minded people, Americans, intellectuals included, confess that this country is a 'uniqueincarnation of injustice and hypocrisy' while the Arab nations identify itwith 'arrogance'. Do you think there's something inherently wrong with theAmerican way of thinking?Man: I'm not sure there is something inherently wrong with American thinking but there is something distinctive about it which is the enormously highstandards it sets itself as measured by the idealistic sentiments expressed inAmerica's founding documents, presidential speeches etc. There isinevitably a gap between the aspirations and the reality. Americans are lessaware of the gap because they often do not see the consequences of thepolicies pursued by their government. Those directly affected by Americanpolicies are often acutely aware of the gap.W oman : As we have seen in the recent past it is not just the American establishment but many nations have become vulnerable to terrorists attacks. EvenMuslim nations are not spared. We cannot put the current crisis in theframe of clash of civilizations. Does the problem lie in some deeper strata? Man : The 'problem', as you call it, may not lie in some deeper strata but in the more obvious field of politics. Why do states 'fail'? I don't believe I have fullyanswered your question. Who could? If I were going to take it further Iwould look at the disruptive and uneven effects of globalization ondifferent regions, cultures and states. As far as Islam is concerned, I agreewith scholars such as Olivier Roy and others who say that the intenseanger and frustration which has led to terrorism by some Muslims is in partbecause of the failure of many states in the Islamic world to satisfy theaspirations of their peoples.Questions:1. What is assumed by the first speaker? (A)2. Is there something inherently wrong with the American way of thinking according to the second speaker? (C)3.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear each question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Television advertisements appear between shows, but also interrupt the shows at intervals. This method of screening advertisements is intended to capture or grab the attention of the audience, keeping the viewers focused on the television show so that they will not want to change the channel; instead, they will (hopefully) watch the advertisements while waiting for the next segment of the show. This is a technique of adding suspense, especially if the break occurs at a cliffhanger moment in the show. Entire industries exist that focus solely on the task of keeping the viewing audience interested enough to sit through advertisements. The Nielsen ratings system exists as a way for stations to determine how successful their television shows are, so that they can decide what rates to charge advertisers for their advertisements. Advertisements take airtime away from programs. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time includes 22 minutes of programming with 6 minutes of national advertising and 2 minutes of local.In other words, over the course of 10 hours, American viewers will seeapproximately 3 hours of advertisements, twice what they would have seen in the sixties. Furthermore, if that sixties show is rerun today it may be cut by 9 minutes to make room for the extra advertisements (some modern showings of Star Trek exhibit this).Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the average length of a television advertisement was one minute. As the years passed, the average length shrank to 30 seconds (and often 10 seconds, depending on the television station's purchase of ad time). However, today a majority of advertisements run in 15-second increments (often known as "hooks").Questions:1. What is the chairman of the independent commission saying about the 9/11 attacks?(B)2.

Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to (2) create fear, are perpetrated for an ideological goal, and deliberately (3) target or disregard the safety of civilians. Many definitions also include only acts of unlawful violence and acts of war.Terrorism is also a (4) form of unconventional warfare and psychological warfare. Few words are as politically or emotionally (5) charged as terrorism. and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. One 1988 study by the US Army found that over 100 definitions of the word "terrorism" have been used. A person who (6) practices terrorism is a terrorist.Terrorism has been used by a broad array of political organizations in furthering their objectives; both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic, and (7) religious groups, revolutionaries and ruling governments. (8) The presence of non-state actors in widespread armed conflict has created controversy regarding the application of the laws of war.An International Round Table on Constructing Peace, Deconstructing Terror (2004) hosted by Strategic Foresight Group recommended (9) that a distinction should be made between terrorism and acts of terror. While acts of terrorism are criminal acts as per the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 and domestic jurisprudence of almost all countries in the world, terrorism refers to a phenomenon including the actual acts, the perpetrators of acts of terrorism themselves and their motives. (10) There is disagreement on definitions of terrorism. However, there is an intellectual consensus globally, that acts of terrorism should not be accepted under any circumstances. This is reflected in all important conventions including the United Nations counter terrorism strategy, the decisions of the Madrid Conference on terrorism, the Strategic Foresight Group and ALDE Round Tables at the European Parliament.Unit 4 Love and MarriagePart A Short ConversationsDirections:You are going to listen to 5 short conversations.

He ordered three pints of Guinness, sat in the back of the room, and drank a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished them, he came back to the bar and ordered three more.The bartender asked him, "Y ou know, a pint goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."The Irishman replied, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together."The bartender admitted that this was a nice custom, and left it there. The Irishman became a regular in the bar, and always drank the same way.One day, he came in and ordered two pints. All the other regulars noticed and fell silent. When he came back to the bar for the second round, the bartender said, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I want to offer my condolences on your great loss." The Irishman looked confused for a moment, then a light dawned in his eye and he laughed. "Oh, no, everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking.”Key:1) F 2) T 3) T 4) F 5) FPassage Two Early MarriageDirections: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each question you hear.At the age of 21, Lisa has been married for three years to a young man she met just after finishing secondary school. He treated her well. She almost dies during the birth of their first child, born a year after their marriage. The second child, born eighteen months later, was a girl, too. Lately she and her husband quarrel frequently. She wants to go to vocational school to learn skills to add ti the family income but his mother insists that she stay at home and produce a boy for the family. This example is by no means exceptional.Early marriage is common in many parts of the world. Early marriage usually leads to early motherhood. In some developing countries, 20 percent or even the half of the women give birth to their first child before the age of 18. Expectations from parents, in-laws and society are to produce a child as soon as possible after marriage. Many young wives feel pressure to bear sons. This typically results in early and frequent pregnancies.In some developing countries, more than half a million women die every year from。

Consumers still control the final buying decision.Part B A PassageExercise 1 1. c 2. b 3. d 4. dSuccessful AdvertisingOne of the keys to successful advertising is to catch the interest of readers.In your busy life, there is little time to read every page in front of you, so youhave to be very selective. Being aware of this, advertisers go to great lengthsto arouse your curiosity in what they have to say. You should know when advertisers are trying to catch your interest so that you keep in mind that theyare attempting to influence you.Advertisers always have an intended audience targeted for theirmessages — men, women, or children of specific ages, from various ethnic groups, and with certain interests. It is important that you know to whom an advertisement is designed to appeal so that you can decide whether or not you should spend your time giving serious consideration to what it has to say. Obviously the whole point of a given advertisement is to get you topurchase a product, take a certain action, or thinkIn a certain way. An effective advertisement is very specific about thebenefit to readers as a result of their buying, doing, or thinking whatever isbeing urged by theAdvertisement. It is extremely important that you recognize the benefitstressed by an advertisement so that you can make a sound decision as towhether or not to follow its advice.Exercise 21.…men, women, children of specific ages, from various ethnic groups, …certaininterests2.…what benefit customers will get…buying, doing, thinking3.…seriously …it is designed to appealA ConversationExercise 1 1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cWe Were Born to Help You Do ItBetterJoyce: Dad!Father: Yes? …What‟s the matter, Joyce?Joyce: I‟m wondering if I should buy a pair of tennis shoes.

InEuropean countries even though shoes sometimes become very muddy,this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves alittle to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, a guest always leavesa little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or eats up his food toshow that he has enjoyed it.Here are some examples of the things that a well- mannered person doesor does not do no matter whether he is an oriental or a westerner.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries tohelp them. He is always kind whether to people or to animals. When he iswaiting for a bus, he takes his turn and never pushes to the front of the line. Inthe bus, he gives his seat to an old person, or a disabled person or a lady whois standing. When talking to people, he never tells heavy people they are fat,but says that they are losing weight for he knows everyone is weight consciousand wants to be thin. He never asks people, women inParticular, their age. Everyone wants to be young. If he is invited to adinner party at seven, he is sure to be there by seven, knowing how peoplerespect time and expect everyone to be “on time”. If he smokes, he neverlights his cigarette before getting the permission from people around them.He says “Please” when making a request and “Thank you” when hereceives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person,and he does not sit down until the other person is seated.Exercise 2 1. …laugh at people 2. …animals, with kindness3. …push to the front…waiting for a bus4. …the old, disabled5. …they are “losing weight”6. …women …their age/weight7. …time 8. …getting permission from people around9. …Please …Thank you10. …a lady or an older person … the other is seatedPassage 2 Exercise 1 1. b 2. c 3. b 4. dTea Ceremony in JapanThe tea ceremony in Japan, or Chanoyu, is a special form ofentertainment for distinguished guests. The tradition started in the 15th centuryand has existed for about 600 years, and it has very special and strict rulesthat must be followed.There are many different kinds of tea ceremonies, from the informal to thequite formal. But all Chanoyu ceremonies have one thing in common, that is,guests are invited to enjoy a moment of peace and calm.Traditionally a Chanoyu ceremony takes place in a tea room which isusually not very big. The guests take off their street shoes and put on special bamboo shoes. Then they cross a beautiful garden. They stop for a moment ata rock water basin, where they wash their hands. Then they enter the tea room through a small low door.The inside of the tea room is simple but beautiful. The room is notfurnished at all. The floor is covered with a kind of bamboo mats which arecalled ‘Tanami” There are flowers and some traditional decorations like tea setof ancient times, landscape painting, national costumes, etc. The guests sit inthe traditional way, on their knees on the floor. In formal ceremonies, smallcakes are also sewed. The tea master, a man or a woman, follows a certain procedure in making the tea and then serves it to the guests in turn, startingfrom the most distinguished. The guests are not supposed to drink the tea atone go. They should sip bit by bit and at the same time appreciate the designsof the bowl and the dish. From time to time the host and the guests would bowto each other. When the guests finally leave the tea room, put on their shoesand leave the house, they feel happy and peaceful.Exercise 21.The tea roomNot big; ( √)Simple but beautiful; ( √)Not furnished; ( √)Its floor covered with tatami; ( √)Traditionally decorated; ( √)Decorated with fresh flowers and traditional artistic works; ( √)2.The tea ceremonyThe guests take off their shoes and put on bamboo shoes before entering the tea room; ( √)The guests wash their hands in a rock water basin before entering the tea room;( √)The guests sit in the traditional way----on their knees;( √)The guests praise the design of the tea set they are using;( √)The tea master serves the tea to the guests in turn, starting from the most distinguished; ( √)The tea master and guests bow to each other from time to time during the ceremony.

Last week her lecturer advised her tochange to a more suitable course. He said that a career in law was unsuitablefor women.Nancy: I was shocked. At first I thought he was joking. Of course, it was astupid thing to say. Women are as intelligent as men. There are some excellent women lawyers. If he doesn’t want to teach me, he should change his job. Ihave a right to study law.Andrew: Nancy, you’re wasting your time studying law. ‘When you arema rried and have children you’ll be too busy to work. Anyway, women can’tdecide anything properly because they’re too emotional. You should studycooking and sewing in order to become a good wife and mother.Paul: As I see it, an intelligent woman can succeed in any career if shehas enough strength to overcome male prejudice. But Nancy has to decidefirst whether or not she wants to have children. It’s impossible to have asuccessful career and to be a good mother at the same time. That’s why all the professions are dominated by men.Betty: Well, I can’t understand why Nancy wants to study law, or any other course. For myself, I really enjoy being a wife and a mother. I have two lovelylittle boys and I have a good husband who works hard to pay for everything we need. I couldn’t do his work and he certainly couldn’t do mine. We’re bothhappy with our work. Women’s liberation should stop interfering.Chris: Until I find a job that pays me more money than my wife’s gettingnow, I will do all the housework. Some men might laugh at me, but I’m quitehappy with this arrangement. And of course it leaves me so much free time for hobbies. They say that housework is a woman’s job. That’s stupid. Men alwaysdo their own housework when they’re single, don’t they? If Nanc y wants tohave a career in law, why should anybody try to stop her?Exercise 2Nancy (1st speaker) Women have a right to study law.2nd speaker It’s a waste of time for women to study law. Women can’t decide anything properly because they’re too emotional.3rd speaker Women can succeed in any career but it’s impossible for a woman to have a successful career and to be a good motherat the same time.4th speaker Women can’t do men’s work, and men can’t do women’s work. Women’s liberation should stop interfering.5th speaker It is stupid to say that housework is a woman’s job.Forum 2 Exercise 1 1. d 2. a 3. dHandgunsChairman: Good evening. It’s Bob Smith. As we know, the question ofhandguns always raises a lot of discussion in our countr y. Tonight we’ll have opinions from all of you, as people from different countries. Our guests tonightare Roger from Canada, Reiko from Japan, Yu Fen from China, and Antoniofrom Italy. Roger, let’s start with you.Roger: In my opinion, the laws on handguns should be changed. Do youknow more than 40,000 people a year are killed with handguns? It’s crazy.Guns should be outlawed immediately.Chairman: Yu Fen, what’s your opinion?Yu Fen: Well, I don’t really like guns, but we have to ask who is doing thekilling. I think most of the killers are criminals. I hate to say it, but I think people should be allowed to own guns. Ordinary people have to be able to protect themselves and their families.Chairman: People in Japan can’t have guns at home. What do you think ofall this, Reiko?Reiko: I also hate to say it, but I agree with Yu Fen. A violent person mightuse anything as a weapon. Roger said around 40,000 people get killed withguns each year. I think more than a million people have a gun at home. All gun owners are not crazy killers. In my opinion people should be allowed to ownguns.Chairman: That’s a very good point, Reiko. It’s like traffic accidents. Manypeople get killed in car accidents, but we don’t talk about the millions andmillions of people who drive their cars every day and never have an accident. Antonio? What do you think of it? Do you agree with Reiko or not?Antonio: I see her point. But I’ve heard that there are close to 20,000accidents in the home every year that happen because of guns. Childrenwatch TV and see people shooting other people, but they are too young to understand what happens in real life. So I think it is very dangerous to allowpeople to possess guns. I think the law should be changed, and no one exceptthe police should be able to carry guns.Chairman: Thank you, guests. So, listeners, you’ve heard some opinionsfrom around the world. Now we want to hear your opinion. Please call us ore-mail us.Exericse 2Roger from Canada Guns should be outlawed immediately.Yu Fen from China Ordinary people should be allowed to own guns to protectthemselves and their families.Reiko from Japan People should be allowed to own guns.Antonio from Italy No one except the police should carry guns.Unit 6 MoneyPart A Exercise 11.She thinks a lot of them are in financial difficulties.2.She thinks the government should give them a monthly allowance.3.He thinks it’s not a good idea because some of them would want to be students alltheir lives.4.He thinks that the government can get those students an interest-free loan and letthem pay back in ten years.5.Yes. She also finds it a good idea.Part B Passage 1Exercise 1 1. b 2. b 3. b 4. c 5. dBanksNearly every adult has some business with a bank. Most people havesavings accounts where they deposit their money. Many also have checking accounts which permit them to write a check against the hinds in theiraccounts. A lot of people pay their bills by check rather than in cash. It is more convenient and the cancelled check is a receipt of payment. Banks do morethan offer savings and checking accounts to their customers. A bank willgenerally cash acheck for you and will change large bills for you:When the bank accepts money for deposit it pays interest on the money deposited. Thus your money in the bank is earning money. Normally the bankpays about 3% interest.The bank also provides security for one’s special papers and valuables.Most banks have a safe deposit section. Here you can rent a box (made ofmetal) in which you store your valuables and important papers. You are givena key to the box and only you can open the box.One of the most important functions of a bank is to make loans. This is theway the bank makes its money. If you want to buy an expensive object (car, house, etc.) you may have to borrow the money from the bank. You go to thebank and make an application for a loan. After the bank examines yourapplication to insure that you are a good risk they then will give you the money.You then have to repay the bank the amount of the loan plus interest over aperiod of time.Exercise 2How do you get a bank loan?Step 1 You go to the bank and make an application;Step 2 The bank examines your application;Step 3 The bank gives you the money after making sure that you are a good risk;Step 4 You repay the bank the amount of the loan plus interest over a period of time.Passage 2 Exercise 1 1. a 2. b 3. c 4. b 5. dWhat Is Money?Money is a medium of exchange that is widely accepted in payment forgoods and services and in settlement of debts. Money also serves as astandard of value for measuring the relative worth of different goods and services.The functions of money as a medium of exchange and a measure of valuegreatly facilitate the exchange of goods and services and the specialization of production. Without the use of money, trade would be reduced to barter, or thedirect exchange of one commodity for another; this was the means used byprimitive people. In a barter economy, a person having something to trademust find another who wants it and has something acceptable to offer in exchange. In a money economy, the owner of a commodity may sell it formoney, which is acceptable in payment for goods. Money may therefore be regarded as a keystone of modem economic life.Most of the money circulating today is made of metal, paper or plastics.But in ancient times, people actually used various kinds of things as exchange media, such as knives, cloth, rice, gold and silver. In China, for instance, clothand metals were used as money for thousands of years. In southwest Asia and parts of Africa, rice and other things were used as money for a long time.Today everybody knows that the first metal coins were made in China.England used tin to make its first coins. Russia and some other countries used copper to make their money. Later, a number of countries began to make coinsof gold and silver. Again the Chinese people thought of a way to improve their money. As the metal money wasInconvenient if you wanted to buy something expensive, paper currencycame into existence, though the first paper money looked more like a notefrom one person to another than the paper currency we use today.Exercise 21.…medium of exchange …payment for goods and services ….settlement of debts2.…standard of value …relative worth3.…the exchange of goods and services …the specialization of production4.…keystone of modern economic lifeUnit 7 EnvironmentPart A Exercise 1Item The Way to Recycle1. old reports reuse 1) the other side of each page2. a chipped cup can be used as a 2) penholder3. an empty container great for 3) storage of foods like 4) cookies, candies or chocolates to keep them 5) freshExercise 21) noticeable 2) trip 3) results 4) typically 5) layers 6) excessive7) effects8) we should try to avoid excessive packaging wherever possible9) to encourage consumers to bring their own bags and to choose products that involve less packaging10) We should do away with the practice so as to conserve resources and protect our environment.Part B Passage 1Exercise 1 1. d 2. c 3. c 4. d 5. bExercise 2 1.
