The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution. Two bad points – prices there are very high, and the weather is not veryjgood. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy days, and in the evening, the city MS great restaurant nightclubs to visit.Track l-5-OL-6B. Listen again. Complete the chart with information about the cities.Vrack l-5-OL-7A. Now listen to a talk aalk about The Best Cites to LiVe in. Read the sentences. Which city does each sentence describe? Someomes both cities are possible.Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other cities in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15 C/60 F to 26 C / 79 F). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why Iive in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city – once a small fishing village – is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples. Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. Uses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffc and air pollution are also a problem.Track l_5_OL-8B. Listen again. Do you want to Iive in Hong Kong or San Jose? Why or why not? What is important to you in a place to live? Put these items in order from l (very important) to 4 (not so irnportant). Explain yor reasons.Track l-5-OL-9Listen to the story summary. Fill in the blanks with what you hear.Sun-hee and Tara come home and find a note from Claudia. Claudia wants them to meet her at a restaurant called Giovanni’s. She gives Sun-hee and Tara directions to the restaurant, but Tara forgets Claudia’s note. They ask a man for directions, but they don’t understand them. They finally take a taxi to the restaurant. When they get there, they are surprised. The restaurant is right across the street from the subway station!。

The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird’s mouth was rude. John tried every method to change the bird’s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird scream and kick. Then suddenly there was silence. Not a sound for over a minute. Fearing that he’s hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out and said, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior.”John was greatly surprised at the bird’s change of attitude. As he wasabout to ask the parrot what had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued, “May Ii ask why you put the chickens there and what they did wrong”IV.

He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb chops and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher, thinking the dog wouldn’t know the difference, picked out the worst chops. The dog barked angrily and continued to bark until the butcher selected the finest chops. After the butcher took the money from the dog’s mouth, the dog picked up the chops and left the shop.The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He closed up shop and followed the dog to see where it went. The dog entered an apartment house, climbed to the third floor, and began to scratch on the door. With that, the door opened and an angry man started yelling at the dog. As he did so, the butcher stepped forwardto ask the man to stop. “What are you doing”That’s the smartest animal I’ve ever seen! Surely it doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment.”The butcher then went on to explain how the dog had bought the best lamb chops in the shop. The man looked at the butcher from the corner of his eye and said, “I don’t think he’s so intelligent. You see, this is third time this week he’s forgotten his key.”VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking Task 1: A Birthday PresentMary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday giftDavid:Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.Mary: What did she call itDavid: She’s calling it “Brian”, after a friend of hers.Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners.David: I’ve heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him before he would havean attack.Mary: Really I wonder how they can do that1David: It ahs something to do with the dog’s sense of smell. It’s very keen.Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chickenAfter David gave his mom a dog as a birthday present, she was very pleased, for the dog licked her hand and wagged its tail. She called it Brian after one of her friends. Mary read an article which says that dogs can be faithful to their owners/masters. David agreed, for he saw a TV interview which introduced a dog that could warn its master of an epileptic attack. He explained that this ability of the dog’s has something to do with itskeen sense of smell. Jokingly, Mary said she wounded whether the dog Brian can foretell/predict when David’s mom is going to roast a chicken.T ask 2: 100 Percent Polar BearOne afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear”“Of course, son, you’re 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100 percent polar bear No brown bear or panda bear”“Son, I’m 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so you’re certainly 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, don’t worry. But it’ll hurt my feelings if it’s not true. I really need to know…am I really 100 percent polar bear”Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled at his son, “Why on earth do you keep asking is you’re 100 percent polar bear”“Because I’m freezing to death out here!”Task 3: An Introduction to Advertising“Are you ready to go to work” a woman asks her dog Sydney. The dog was her tail. Then she starts sniffing around inside the house. Sydney is hunting for mold. When she sits down, that means she smells mold nearby.Usually mold is found within three or four feet. A boy who lives in this house has epileptic attacks. It could be from mold. His mother wanted to find the mold. She tried other ways to find it, but they didn’t work. She said she trusted the dog more than the other ways. Workers found mold near where Sydney sat. Nobody had thought to look for mold there before. Now it can be cleaned out and the boy will feel much better.Sydney is very special. Only about ten animals in the . can do this. She spent hundreds of hours with a police dog trainer in Florida to learn how. In the ., people have used dogs to find drugs and bombs for a long time, but dogs that find mold are something new.People in Europe have used mold-sniffing dogs for many years. Dogs are cheaper to use than human trackers and can find exactly where the mold is. They also do it quickly and for less than %500. Other methods may cost thousands of dollars and take many weeks.SpeakingA Funeral for a Dead FishNancy: Westerners often take pets as their friends, even their family members. Especially dogs They think dogs are man’s best friends. Michael: What pets do people usually keepNancy: A lot. Fish, cats, horses… anything could be a pet.Michael: Do you have a petNancy: I have three fish. One day, the fish called Susan died.

Listening InTask 1: Fast Food CultureSince the late 1900s, Americans have begun to fully believe in their “fast food culture”. In 1994 alone, fast food restaurants in the United States sold over 5 billion hamburgers, making it a favorite meal and an important commodity. Each day in 1996, seven percent of the population ate at the 11,400 McDonald’s; males from their mid-teens to their early 30s made up 75 percent of this business. By then, fast food had become a cultural phenomenon that reached beyond America’s borders. In 1996 McDonald’s owned over 7,000 restaurants in other countries, including: 1,482 in Japan; 430 in France; 63 in China; and so on. McDonald’s has also recognized some cultural differences. In Germany, for example, the outlets sell beer, in France they sell wineand beer, and in Saudi Arabia they have separate sections for men and women and close four times a day for prayers. But for the most part the fast food fare is the same, maintaining the same culture on an international level.1.D2.C3.A4.B5.CTask 2: McDonald’sW: John, I’m really hungry!M: Just get anything you want, it’s on me today. I’m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.M: Me, too. The formula of McDonald’s is really special.W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald’s.M: It’s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people’s tastes and preferences in different areas.W: Right. Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!M: But I’ve heard that McDonald’s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.W: Yeah. It’s just so difficult to stay competitive when there so many fast food chains in the States.I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.M: It seems that they’re doing better overseas,’ cause they’re really able to sell American culture. W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.1.They will probably eat a hamburger, some chicken McNuggets, and the shakes.2.McDonald’s is so successful because of its formula and diversity.3.You can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality.4.McDonald’s is losing market share in the States now and has closed down some restaurants.Because there’re so many fast food chains in the U.S. that it’s difficult for McDonald’s to stay competitive.5.Because they’re able to sell American culture by using all the media they can.Task 3: American Eating HabitsEating habits in America really get a lot of criticism. But the truth is, it matters much where in America you look. In big cities, people are becoming more health-conscious every day. This is shown by what foods they choose to buy in supermarkets, and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, these habits contrast with those in America’s heartland. Here, people tend to eat more traditional and higher fat foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast and other greasy, but delicious foods. Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald’s and the Olive Garden, which serve cheaper food, draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.There are different eating habits across America. In big cities, people have now become more health-conscious than ever. There is a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In NewYork and other big cities, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, people in America’s heartland are quite different. They often eat more traditional and higher fat foods. Fast food chain restaurants draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.Task 4: An AnnouncementHave you ever dreamed of tasting your favorite McDonald’s foods for only one dollar, and then, adding something to your Extra Value Meal? Now your dream can come true with McDonald’s Dollar Menu. Great choices. Every day here at McDonald’s. Look for these and more: Salad, Double Cheeseburger, Fries, McChicken Sandwiches, Snack Fruits, Soft Drinks, and Pies. Have a great meal!IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnJames: Hey, Lisa! The physics exam is over at last! What’re you planning to do this weekend? Lisa: Oh, nothing special. You got any good ideas?James: We haven’t had a party for ages. How about having a pot-luck supper Saturday evening?Each of us can contribute something. We’ll have a good time.Lisa: Good idea! And who do you think we should invite?James: The whole class, of course. The more the merrier.Lisa: Terrific!Model 2 What do you recommend?Now Your TurnWaitress:Here’s the menu.Jennifer:Thanks. Chris, let’s have fried noodles for a change, shall we?Christopher:That sounds good, but it’s not satisfying with only noodles.Jennifer:Waitress, what do you recommend?Waitress:How about seafood with fried noodles and vegetables?Christopher: Good. I like seafood.Jennifer:Same here.Model 3 It’s easier said than done!Now Your TurnSarah: Hi, Jim! You look pale. What’s wrong?James: Well, yesterday I had a huge steak for supper. At night I had a terrible stomachache. Sarah: You shouldn’t have eaten that much. How’re you feeling now?James: Better than I was. But I guess I won’t be able to look a cow in the eye for a while. Sarah: Take my advice! If you eat regular meals, you won’t feel so bad.James: It’s easier said than done. Steak is my favorite.V. Let’s TalkJane: I’m from the Students Union. We’re doing a survey of students’ eating habits. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?Jim: Will it take long?Jane: No, not really. Fie minutes maybe? There aren’t all that many questions.Jim: And what’s it for exactly?Jane: Well, we want to get an idea of the sort of things students eat on a regular basis, and to find out how aware people are about diet and nutrition and those matters. The intention is to produce an information leaflet about healthy eating.Jim: Yeah, I suppose something like that would be quite useful. Anyway, what do you want to know, exactly?Jane: OK, first question. What would you say your favorite food is?Jim: That’s easy. Hamburgers and fries. Lots of fries1 I must say I like a nice Chinese meal as well.Jane: Mmm. You’re getting into some bad habits there. How many meals do you have a day? I mean sit-down meals, not snacks.Jim: Well, I nearly always oversleep. I usually skip breakfast altogether. And I’d probably just have a chocolate bar for lunch. So I don’t sit down to a meal till evening.Jane: OK. Typical student, I suppose. And how about fresh fruit? Is it important in your diet? Jim: Nah, not really. I know it’s bad, but…I’m just not in the habit really. I suppose I might eat an apple once in a while.1. Hamburgers fries2.

Nect time I would invite you to a fast food meal at McDonald’s and tell you more about American food.A, say what you fell about B’s words.Oh, that’s really different from ours.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Foods in the WorldFood is national and international. Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones. You can find European and Oriental restaurants on most large cities. You can find Italian, French, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants in New York, Washington, San Francisco, and many other cities in the United States. As well, you might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some cities in the US. American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris. In almost every country you will find rice, potatoes, eggs, bread, soup, meat, vegetables, milk, fruit, and other basic foods. People all over cook them differently in different countries. People all over the world also prefer different things to drink. The English drink a lot of tea, and the French a lot of wine. Americans prefer coffee, milk or pop. German beer is now completely international. Children are often very conservative about new foods. In the United States they often prefer to eat the same three or four favorite dishes: hamburgers and French fires, hot dogs, fried chicken, and ice cream.1. national international2. national dishes foreign ones.3. hamburgers hotdogs Paris4. tea coffee milk pop5. children three or four hamburgers fried chickenTask 2: GM FoodsThe term GM foods refers to those produced with the latest genetic engineering techniques. In 2000, countries that grew 99% of the global GM crops were the United States, Argentina, Canada, and China. The next decade will see rapid development in Gm products. Gm foods may solve many of the world’s hunger problems, and help protect environment. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of human and environmental safety,labeling and consumer choice, ethics, food security, regulation and international policy. Many people feel that genetic engineering is inevitable and that such a technology should be put to use. However, others warn that we must take care to avoid causing unintentional harm to both human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.1. F2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: HungerI have known bread hunger,Yet have I strength.I have known heart hunger,Yet do I live.I have known soul hunger,And faith is not dead.When the body cried,I lit love in my heart.When the heart wept,I lit a lamp in my soul.Yet all the while,I heard life asking its goal.I was alone looking out of a house,Knowing the empty rooms.。

Chris feels it will be a piece of cake and promise to meet her back there at two.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptOnce there was a Scottish accountant. The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?”The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference1.countless clients that had gone in and out of the office2.He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringingpeople in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?1.What is the speaker mainly talking about?2.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from yourhome?3.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?4.What will the recruiting money tell you?5.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceTo decide on a good business location, one has to consider the local economy, the job market there, and whether you can integrate wit the local community.IV.

It seems to me you don’t have the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do then?Bill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loans for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don’t have much collateral, I can still quality for a loan? Bill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers crossed!Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: You’ve worked as a consultant for a long time, so you know the company inside out.

I just need some time to get revenues up.B: Well, apply for a risk investment, and keep your fingers crossedMODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I’ve been searching for a loan, but I was rejected everywhere. Now I’m afraid I have some very bad news.Bill:What is it?Helen:Well, the company has been experiencing serious financial difficulties for quite a long time now.Bill: I know we’ve been operating in the red for the past few months.Helen: Exactly. After a long discussion with my partners, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to file for bankruptcyBill: What? Bankruptcy? I didn’t know you were in this kind of serious financial trouble.Helen:Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading competitors are discussing a merger. Then we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go from bad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the employees? Helen:Early next week.Bill:What kinds of severance package will we able to offer them?Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salary.Bill: Oh! How terrible! OK, I’ll contact Vivitek and see if they are interested in acquiring our company.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I have some very bad news.B: What’s that?A: The c ompany’s products haven’t sold well for a long time, you know.B: Yeah.

That’s why they call you headhunters.V. Let’s TalkScriptMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities.We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55.According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old. Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seemmore active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should considerexpanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more details of this proposal.DiscussionSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can have a clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and women of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the results won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than older people, and they tend to buy more.A:It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their money. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out.B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.1.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?2.Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?3.Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,”he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1.“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’texist can’t have the job!”2.He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, hesucceeded in doubling his capital.

Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

First of all, Daniel Gilbert, psychologist at Harvard, says that we really don't know what we'll like until we try it. So having a lot of jobs when you start your adult life is a good way to figure out what to do with your adult life.But, job hopping is a good thing for everyone to do—not justtwenty-somethings—because it's a way to maintain passion in your work. Frequent changes keep your learning curve high and your challenges fresh. Finally, frequent job hopping, coupled with high performance allows you to build a professional network much faster than someone who stays in oneposition over a long period of time. And a vibrant network will make findingjobs easier, so job hopping will not be a difficult path.It's clear that job hopping benefits the employee, not the employer. But when the majority of young people are job hopping, and companies are having a hard time attracting young people to work, recruiters don't have the luxury of writing people off just because they job hopped. Recruiters write people off because their résumé looks like they won't contribute enough to the company.So, the trick with job hopping is to make sure your résumé always shows that you make a huge contribution wherever you go. That can be independent of job duration. You can show that you are loyal to a company by exceeding their expectations with your outstanding performance. Loyalty is about delivery. Show that on your résumé, the same place you show job hopping.An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman sailed in. Inside the small boat were several large fish. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.The Mexican replied, "Only a little while." The American then asked why hedidn't stay out longer and catch more fish?The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, play with my children, drink wine and play the guitar with my friends. I have a full and busy life."The American laughed. "I'm a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing, and with the money earned, buy a bigger boat. Then with more money earned from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processing factory. Finally, you can open your own factory. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, and then Los Angeles where you will run your expanding enterprise."The Mexican fisherman asked, "But what then?"The American laughed and said, "When the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public. Then you would make millions of dollars.""Millions. Then what?"The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishingvillage where you would sleep late, play with your children, drink wine and play the guitar with your friends.""What do you think I am doing now?" asked the Mexican fisherman.。

There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves.

More and more board game cafes are opening in different neighborhoods.In some of cafes, customers pay an hourly rate to play tabletop games; in others a flat fee allows them to play for an unlimited time. On top of the fee, the cafes also require customers to purchase food and drinks.Most cafes offer hundreds of games, varying from classics like “Monopoly” and “Battleship” to European strategy games like “Settlers of Catan”and “Agricola”. They also have staff members to teach customers the rules of the game ifnecessary. This means that players are more comfortable exploring games that they haven’t played before.People enjoy going to these cafes because they can try out the games. It is cheaper than buying the games and then deciding they don’t like them. Also, it’s like having a party with your friends—but not at your own house!1.What do we learn about board game cafes from the newsreport?2.Why do people enjoy going to board game cafes?

It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl.She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?” I asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in. I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?” I asked. “Oh yes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five years ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”

Conversation 1
Woman: Morning, Simon. Wow, you look tired.
Man : Oh, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I had a weird dream. I was in a classroom at school, but I didn’t have any clothes on. No one looked at me, but I was really embarrassed.
Q. What do the experts say?
A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but coundn’t solve the mystery.
Q. What do you think causes the lights?
A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.
Optional 4
Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?
A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”
Q. Are the local people scared?
A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.

Mike: ..So, we can look forward to warmer temperature. It’ll be a good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.
Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally, this story just in. … We have a report that a local man, Nick Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10 p.m. He said the lights were bright and they moved across the sky. He stopped at a gas station and talked to a police officer about the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.
Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?
A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.
B What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.
1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.
5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.
M : Hmmm,… that’s strange story. What happened next?
A : Well, Mr Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.
3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.
4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.
Conversation 2
Woman: Jesse,Jesse, Wake up. You’re having a nightmare.
Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?
A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so.

A The Tunguska mystery
It was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.
