Unit8A情人节赠送贺卡从表面上看是美国的作法，但这种现象也正在亚洲生根发芽。
然而，亚洲顾客在购买情人节卡片时，他们常常选择带有英语原文的卡片，哪怕他们一句英语也不会说。
全球主义者在此探讨情人节的全球化和美国公司在亚洲的作用。
霍尔马克问候贺卡在全世界人人皆知。
自1910年霍尔.马克根据他储藏在床底下贺卡试样生产贺卡至今，总部设在堪萨斯的卡片生产公司已经发展成为拥有3.5 亿美元的企业。
90多年后的今天，霍尔马克已成为一家全球化公司，并且把向亚洲扩展作为它战略决策的主要部分。
仅仅在亚洲，这家总部在堪萨斯的公司就于1994年在日本开设了一家公司，又于1998年在香港和新加坡，1999年在上海开办了数个富有创造性的机构。
霍尔马克公司的代表指出亚洲已成为“一个重点区域”。
香港和新加坡正从分销中心变成投资中心。
单就美国而言，情人节67%的活动是给人赠送情人卡礼物。
根据霍尔马克公司的说法，2000年的情人节美国人共花去了3.5亿美元。
尽管美国的市场很大，但在亚洲销售1330种不同类型的情人节卡片的潜力就更大。
根据霍尔马克卡片的销售量，似乎可以看出，中国、日本、韩国的具有浪漫色彩的消费者的数量正在上升。
这一现象并不令人吃惊，因为霍尔马克贺卡已成为一种绝妙的克服情感拘谨的好办法，而情感拘谨在亚洲许多国家仍然很普遍。
既作唐·璜式的风流才子，又不失脸面。
东方国家的人们由于文化的准则与浪漫的爱情常常陷入两难的境地，那就是：你怎样才能告诉一个女孩你喜欢她，但又不至于使自己“丢面子”呢？比如在中国，由于文化准则的缘故，中国男性大概永远不会被误认为是莎士比亚笔下的罗密欧，而西方的风流逸事也决不会成为中国男人茶余饭后的话题。
因此，怎么克服这种两难窘境？为了避免文化习俗上的失误，中国的唐.璜们购买情人卡送给他们的心上人。
这样，他可以通过卡片上事先印制好的文字来表达他们的感情，而不用当面说一些令人尴尬的甜言蜜语。
在日本和韩国，文化准则又稍有不同。

Unit 1Lesson 1Audio studioSteve Jobs is the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. and former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios. He is the largest individual shareholder in Walt Disney. His name is associated with innovative products like the iPod, iPhone and iTunes. He is a much respected corporate leader whose management style is studied worldwide. His attention to design, function and style has won him millions of fans.Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955. He became interested in computers when he was a teenager. In 1974, he got a job as a technician at the video game maker Atari. He saved enough money to backpack around India and then returned to Atari.Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple in 1976. Jobs guided Apple to become a major player in the digital revolution. The introduction of the iMac and other cutting-edge products made it a powerful brand with a loyal following. Jobs also enjoyed considerable success at Pixar. He created Oscar-winning movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo.In 2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a cancer. In April 2009, he underwent a liver transplant and his prognosis was “excellent.”His advice to aspiring young entrepreneurs is: “You’ve got to find what you love.”Video studioI was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees. We’d just released our finest creation — the Macintosh —a year earlier, and I’d just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually wehad a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, and I retuned to Apple, andthe technol ogy we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.Sometime life … sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep lo oking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don’t settle.Lesson 2Audio studioMaking the transition from high school to college life can be difficult. It is easy to become discouraged, overwhelmed and homesick. Here are a few tips that will make the transition to college life a little easier.You Are in Charge of Your TimeAlong with your newfound freedom at college comes responsibility. Being responsible involves being able to manage your time. Using a planner to help you stay organized is highly recommended. You should also try to plan your coursework in advance, so you can determine what extracurricular activities you will have time for.It’s Important to Keep an Open MindWhen you first move to college, you’re going to be in a new place, handling new situations. So you need to keep an open mind. College isn’t just about learning facts and theories fr om textbooks.A large part of college involves learning how to be an adult.Home Is Only a Phone Call or Instant Message AwayIf going away to college is the first time you’ve been away from home for a long period of time, it’s natural to feel homesick. Don’t be pessimistic. And if things get too bad, home is only a phone call or instant message away.Video studioAt the start of freshman year, finding a job after graduation is probably the last thing on your mind, but before you know it, it’ll be senior year and finding that job will be your top priority. Hi, I’m Lindsey Pollak, generation Y career expert and author of Getting from College to Career. I’m standing here on the campus of Columbia University to talk about a four year plan to land the job of your dreams after you graduate.Well, everybody’s experience is very different. There are a few guidelines you can follow for each of your four years. Freshman year, don’t worry too much about your career plans. Try lots of activities, get your feet wet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is you most enjoy. Sophomore year is the time to narrow down your academic focus and decide on a college major. You also want to narrow your options in terms of your extracurricular activities to focus on your biggest commitments.And finally I recommend getting a professional internship the summer between your sophomore and junior years to start having professional experience you’ll be able to list on a résumé. Junior year is a time to take on leadership positions in the extracurricular activities that you’ve chosen. It’s also really important to get your GPA above a 3.0 because that’s the cut-off for many employers to give you a job. And finally if you haven’t done an internship already, it’s essential to have at least one on your résumé by the end of your junior year.During your senior year, your goal should be to find a balance among the leadership positionsyou’ve taken on in your extracurricular activities, keeping up your grade point average in your college major and focusing on the job search for a position after graduation. I strongly encourage you to become involved in your career services centre to make sure you’re clear on the deadlines and requirements for any jobs you will be applying to.And finally it’s your senior year of college. Enjoy, have some fun. Take some time to really enjoy college before you’re off into the real world.Now that you’ve got your four-year college career plan underway, let’s talk about that dorm roo m situation.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, recorded the brain activity of people searching the Web and found that those with experience of the Internet used more of their brain during their searches. This suggests that simply searching the Internet has the effect of training the brain and keeping it active and healthy. Many studies have found that challenging mental activities such as puzzles can help preserve brain function, but few have looked at what role the Internet might play. According to Dr Gary Small, a UCLA expert on ageing, this is the first time anyone has simulated an Internet search task while scanning the brain. Dr Small’s team studied 24 normal volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half were experienced at searching the Internet and the other half had no Web experience. Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored. The team found that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage at a much deeper level of brain activity.Video studioAnchor: Did you know that the internet could be a good exercise for the brain? A new study from UCLA finds that, when middle age and senior age adults perform internet searches, it activates many different areas of the brain, including those involved with memory, decision making and reasoning. Joining us today is the lead author of a study looking at this — Dr. Gary Smalls [Small] —and he’s also the author of the book iBrain, Surviving the technological alteration of the modern mind. Welcome Dr. Smalls [Small].Gary Small: Thank you! It’s great to be hereAnchor:So, in my parents’ house, I have to tell you how it works. My mom and dad might sit up and at some point there’s a discussion — hey you are on the internet, quit surfing internet. Can I now tell my parents, it’s OK for dad to surf the internet,it’s good for his brain?Gary Small:Well, we don’t see any harm in it, and this first study to see what the brain looks like when it searches on the internet showed very dramatic results. Compared to just reading a book text page, there was much greater activation and particularly in the front part of the brain that controls complex reasoning and decision making.Anchor: Th at’s interesting. So it’s kind of akin to crossword puzzles, sounds likeGary Small: Well, it’s… it’s probably different from crossword puzzles but similar. One thing about when we’re searching on the web is we’re constantly deciding “should you go for this site or that other site?”, whereas if we’re just reading a book page, the decision is “should I turn the page when I finish the last sentence?”And there’s something about that decision making process, something about the interaction, that is activating a much greater extent of brain neural circuits. Anchor: That’s interesting. Now what about ages where you’re looking at these kind of… I saw your study was relatively small, it seemed to be 24 people on the stuff that I’ve read. Uh, what ages are we looking at and when does this become potentially1 neural preventive for people? Gary Small: We don’t know whether it’s neural preventive and we don’t know about the age effects2, but one thing I focus on in iBrain, in my new book, is the digital divide between young people, digital natives who are getting this technology 24/73 born into it, and the older generation, the digital native4, the digital immigrants who come to it more reluctantly later in life, and how do we bridge that so-called brain gap by upgrading the text skills of older people and helping younger people with their face-to-face human contact skills?Anchor: It’s fascinating. We just have time for one last question, kind of comment, but I’ve been fascinated how able people in their 60s and 70s are really in incorporating this new technology into their daily lives in internet searching etc. It’s really been amazing to me to see how quickly that’s happened.Gary Small: Well I encourage boomers and seniors to get involved in the technology, to have fun with it and enjoy it, and it’s a great way to reach out to people who are not nearby. The communication ability is… (Absolutely) really spectacular.Anchor: Absolutely. Sorry we are out of time, but thanks so much for coming to see us Dr. Smalls [Small].Loved to hear what you had to say.Gary Small: Thank you.Lesson 2Audio studioAt the dawn of the digital age, many believed that the Internet, e-mail, blogs and interactive video games would produce a generation of more intellectually sophisticated children. The terms “information superhighway” and “knowledge economy” entered the dictionary, and it was assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to blaze a trail as the pioneers of this new digital age. That was the pro mise. But the enlightenment didn’t happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more intelligent, diversify their tastes and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generation, written by Mark Bauerlein, is astartling indictment of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its consequences for American culture and democracy.Video studioAnchor: And finally, the dumbest generation. And if you are watching this webcast, that apparently means you. At least that’s a theory of a professor of English at Emory University who’s written a book which basically argues that the internet is making people stupid.Mark Bauerlein:I’m Mark Bauerlein, professor of English at Emory University. The book hasa provocative title. It’s The Dumbest Generation: How The Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future. [In] Recent years though, I have begun to look at youth culture, youth knowledge, youth academic achievements, and what has come up, more and more, is that things don’t look good. Young people today enjoy more and more digital connections, more screen time than ever before and one of the effects of that is that they are steadily disengaging from the traditional contents … uh … the liberal arts. One of the things we measured was how much people read literature, and how much they read books in general. And the first time we did the study was in 1982, and at that time, young people formed the most active reading group. When we did it again in 2002, they were the least active.Only about half of them ever read a book on their own. If it’s not assigned for school, if it’s not assigned in the workplace, they simply don’t care. The internet is extraordinary. It is a miraculous tool for knowledge and information. But the fact is that is not what the internet means to the average sixteen-year-old. What the internet does is provide a more intense form of contact with other sixteen-year-olds. You know, I do often tell my students, read more books. Please, read more books in your leisure time, unplug for just an hour or two per day. I urge them, and they, they generally just laugh at me. Some of them may feel that I come down on them too hard, but they know deep down that this is right.Home listening1.alters2.Especially3.accessrmation5.difficulties6.expert7.suitable8.attitude9.it should not be a replacement for real friends, for a real life10.The Internet was not made for children and so it should not be used as a babysitter.Unit 3Lesson 1Audio studioThe U.S. already has high-speed trains: the Acela Express has been carrying millions of riders between Washington D.C., New York, and Boston since 2000. It zips along at 150 miles per hour for relatively short distances —just over 25 miles per hour faster than its conventional counterparts. But compare it with high-speed trains in Europe and Asia that can reach speeds over 200 miles per hour on hundreds of miles of track. The problem is: tracks in the U.S. are notdesigned to support high-speed travel. Plus, any new express trains might have to share those lines with slower freight traffic. So is high-speed train travel even possible in the U.S.? Well, the Obama administration hopes to make it so, setting aside $8 billion to create 10 high-speed lines between cities in the East, Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast. But it will take a lot more money to bring the U.S. passenger rail system up to the standards of, say, the French Train àGrande Vitesse, which runs on delicate tracks and holds the record for the fastest train at 357 miles per hour. And Amtrak has proven woefully inadequate at providing passenger rail service in its three decades of existence, requiring constant infusions of government cash and rarely keeping to schedule. So do not expect high-speed trains to show up fast at your local station.Video studioObama’s Stimulus Plan on High-Speed RailThe president joined vice president Biden in Florida to announce the administration’s biggest stimulus project of all. “Right here, in Tampa, we are going to start building a new high rail line.” $8 billion to begin a European-style, clean energy, high-speed rail system. Planners hopeit will eventually connect cities across the country, [the] largest infrastructure project since the interstate highway system. The White House claims it will create tens of thousands of jobs. The announcement is one of many plans in coming months to convince Americans —“Jobs must be our No. 1 focus in 2010” —that the president was dead serious last night w hen he said he’s pivoting to jobs. “It was rhetoric about a pivot, but no pivot at all.” But Republican critics say, despite all the post-speech fanfare, the president spent only about five minutes of a 70- minute speech on specific proposals to create jobs in the short term. And Republicans say the centerpiece of the plan, a second stimulus expected to cost about $80 billion, is a non-starter. “One more so-called stimulus bill built on the same failed policies of the last stimulus bill.” The president also proposed tax breaks for small business to encourage job creation. But critics say they are too narrow to do much good. “I think they could be much much better and I think the net job creation from these tax cuts is going to be relatively small.”The president is not entirely pivoting to jobs. Today in Tampa he repeatedly brought up health care reform and his intention to keep fighting until it’s law.Lesson 2Audio studioCompetition between airlines and rail operators will further hot up thanks to the launch of China’s longest high-speed train link between Wuhan and Guangzhou. The line stretches more than 1 ,000 km and will slash the travel time from Wuhan to Guangzhou from 10 hours to just three. The link, on which trains will reach a top speed of 350 km per hour, is expected to pose a real threat to airlines. “High-speed rail has three advantages over air travel: it is more convenient, more punctual and has a better safety record. This could help erode the airlines’ market share,” said Si Xianmin, chairman of China Southern Airlines. To deal with this threat, China Southern Airlines has unveiled several counter measures, including cutting ticket prices from Wuhan to Guangzhou by almost half for purchases made in advance. “If railway chiefs cut the numbe r of low-cost tickets on slower trains too sharply, as they did when the country’s first high-speed link opened between Beijing and Tianjin last year, the airlines could win more passengers with their cheap offers. But whichever side wins, passengers will be the ultimate winner.” said Zhao Jian, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University. Wu Wenhua, a researcher with the National Development and Reform Commission’s comprehensive transport institute, says that “developing high-speedrail networks is in line with the demand for high-efficiency, low-emissions transport.” By 2020 China plans to have high-speed rail services running between 70 percent of its key cities, covering more than 80 percent of the present airline network.Video studioHigh-Speed Rail Boost TravelNow travel agents in Fujian are also getting in on the action. They’ve got big plans for the World Expo, even those taking place in Shanghai. The province has just begun a special high speed rail travel package to bring in Taiwan tourist s, just across the Strait. Let’s take a look.High-speed rail service between Fuzhou and Shanghai takes only five hours. The Fujian branch of China Travel Service has exclusive rights to the High Speed Rail Tours for the World Expo. And it’s counti ng on its location to bring in tourists from Taiwan.[Wang Ying, vice General Manager of Inbound Tours, CTS:] “Once in Fujian, they can stay in the region for two to three days. And then they can take the high-speed rail to Shanghai for the World Ex po.” Packages range from 900 yuan to 3,000 yuan each.

Starting in July 2007, interest rates on new student loans will rise to 6.8 %, from today’s rate of 4.7 %. And interest rates on new loans that parents take out called PLUS loans will rise to 8. 5%. The bottom line is that getting your degree is becoming even more expensive.On a $20,000 loan, students will be paying about $2,500 more over the life of the loan just in interest payments. And parents will have to put up $3,000 more.This is going to prevent a lot of young adults from living independently once they leave school. Many will be unable to pay off their credit card debt. Parents are also going to feel the pain because they will have to support their children for much longer, with the result that they mayhave to defer their own retirement.Video studioAnchor: How do you manage your cash? Do you have a budget? Do you keep track of what comes in, what goes out and where you spend your money? If you want to be debt free and have financial freedom, knowing every detail of your expenses is crucial, especially in this tough economic times. Jacob Gold is a third generation financial planner, as well as author of a new book – Financial Intelligence: Getting Back To Basics After An Economic Meltdown. And he’s here to give us some tips on improving our cash flow. Welcome Jacob, it’s great to see you. Jacob: Thanks for having me.Anchor:Now Jacob, before we get to all your tips, let’s talk a little bit about your book.What motivated you to write it?Jacob:Well, you’d be surprised that, with the abundance of financial information that’s readily available to individuals via the internet and … and TV and newspapers, you would think that people would have a clear path to get back on track after this terrible economic meltdown. But the exact opposite has happened. There’s too much information out there. And people tend to put their head in the sand and they don’t have that path. So my goal was to create a simple “How to” guide of getting back on track financially and prepare for yourself a financial future that is ... er … that is worthy of, of your time and effort.Anchor: It sounds great. A lot of confused folks out there, and they can definitely use, usesome good advice. Now what are some of the biggest complaints you’re hearingabout the current economic situation?Jacob:You know, I’d say the biggest complaint is people really didn’t have a good grasp of how much risk they were taking on when they were investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds as well as real estate. And when there’s an economic meltdown that is the worst since the Great Depression, many people lost more money than they ever thought they could lose in a given calendar year. So that has be en … er … absolutely a detriment for individuals and they’re just scared on how to move forward.Anchor:All right. So let’s jump right in with your first tip on how to improve cash flow. And you say organize yourself better. What exactly are the things we need to organize? Jacob: Well, a lot of times people have things all over the place. They don’t know how much they have in their credit card debt. Perhaps they don’t know what their mortgage payment is. And the first step is to get organized. Designate a place in the house where you focus on your financial situation. Perhaps you buy some type of software like a Microsoft Money or, or a Quicken. And really begin to categorize and alphabetize all of your expenses and try to find some type of spending pattern. Anchor: All right. And the next thing you say we need is dedication. What do we need to be dedicated to?Jacob:Well, it, it’s never convenient to ... er ..., manage your money appropriately. There’re always obstacles and people tend to always want to procrastinate. But what you need to do is you need to set aside a little time every single month to go over your expenses, to know what your debt liability is, and just really be focused on improving your financial situation.Anchor: So you really have to be dedicated to making this a goal, right?Jacob: Absolutely. I mean it is difficult to become financially independent and to have agood grasp of where you stand financially and you act always keep your eye on the price. Anchor: ... I love your next tip, b ut it’s not a very easy thing to do. You say leave home with less cash. And I suppose that also means staying away from the cash machine.Jacob: You know, in, in, in some cases, yes. Er, you know, the problem about people going to an ATM machine is they repeatedly go to an A TM machine and withdraw 20,100, 200 dollars a month. Many times when they start to go over their finances, they have no idea where they actually spent their money. So even if you were to use a debit card, at least electronically you can keep track of those purchases. And then also too, the less money you have in your pocket, we would hope the less money you would spend just on every day little items. Anchor: As long as you don’t use that as an excuse to keep going to the ATM and incurrin g all these ATM fees, right?Jacob: Correct, absolutely.Lesson 2Audio studioThe financial aid package has just arrived in the mail from your dream school but with a slight problem－it’s still not enough. Where are you going to find the extra?One of the most common ways of paying for college is through scholarships and grants. Scholarships are usually awarded to students based on academic achievement or merit, while grants are usually based on other considerations, such as geographical location or financial need. Both are considered “gift aid” and do not have to be paid back after graduation. Another way to pay for college is through federal loans, which often come in association with grants, scholarships and other aid that an institution awards potential students for a given academic year. Repayment of these loans does not begin until six months after the student has graduated or left school. If there’s nowhere else to turn, students can contact the college or university’s financial aid office. They wil l usually then be assigned a specific financial aid counselor to help them with their concerns or to secure additional resources to enable them to finance their college education. A college education should not be put on hold due to funding problems. However reluctant students and their parents may be to get into debt in order to finance higher education, they will surely find that it turns out to be an investment that pays off when the student enters the professional world and starts a career.Video studioAnchor: Welcome Kim. Thanks for being here.Kim: My pleasure. Thanks for having me.Anchor: So the bottom line is the more a college student can cut now from their expenses,the better off they are on graduation day, right?Kim: Absolutely. Every dolla r you cut out of you expenses is one dollar you don’t have to borrow or one dollar you don’t have to earn or try to raise in scholarships.Anchor: So they should, really should be focused on keeping student loans especially to a minimum.Kim: Absolutely. I mean there are wonderful new repayment programs but still, less debtis always better. More ... less is more.Anchor:Less is more. Let’s talk about some of the ways to cut the debt. First, you say “sellthe car”. That is a significant cost.Kim: You know, college financial aid officers say the single biggest budget buster on campusis the car. Think about it, not only do you have the car payment, you’ve got insurance,which for a young person is very high, and you’d be surprised by how expensiveparking i s, is on campus. And of course, then you’ve got maintenance and gas. So wefigure if you sell the car, you just, you’ll right away you’ll save like 6,000 dollars a year.。

1. Roommates and Majors in American Colleges
Freshman roommates are usually assigned randomly, with no attention to their majors, they may take none of the same classes, and do not have to choose their majors the first year. In future years it’s very easy to change roommates, and in the junior or senior year it’s quite common for students to move to off-campus apartments. So there’s much less likelihood that freshman roommates will become lifelong friends.
