The Web has added plenty of words to our lexicon, although some have yet to make the dictionary. If you had talked about Googling or blogging 10 years ago, you might have had a lot of listeners scratching their heads.
But like any youngster, the Web still needs to grow. For all its uses, most people still go to the Internet primarily for emails. According to Pew surveys, 58 million Americans sent emails each day, while 35 million used the Web to get news.
The Web is changing the way people communicate, Daboll said. He mentioned the “Internet generation,” teenagers who have grown up with the Internet. One of their favorite tools is instant messaging, he said.
A decade from now, who knows what statistics and functions they’ll be measuring. After all,
10 years ago, few people imagined it wouldn’t be long before you’d be able to get a satellite picture of a city a continent away or read the local news from three time zones away or even order pizza without talking to the folks a few blocks away.

Computer is an electronic device used in almost every field even where it is most unexpected. That is why this age is called as the Information Era. We operate washing machines, microwave oven and many other products using software. Moreover, we can store all the information about our important work, appointments schedules and list of contacts.
Computer has become very important nowadays because it is very much accurate, fast and can accomplish many tasks easily. Diseases can be easily diagnosed with the help of computer. Many machines use computer which allows the doctor to view the different organs of our body, such as lungs, heart and kidneys. There is special software which helps the doctor during the surgery.
Communication has become very easy through the Internet and emails. Computers communicate via telephone lines and modems. Through emails we can send messages to anybody in any part of the world in just a second, while if we write a letter then it will reach in some days. The Internet helps us to find information on every topic. It is the easiest and fastest way of research. Computer network makes the users capable of accessing remote programs and databases of same or different organizations.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings; a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen; the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leaves us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the i nventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940’s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” she said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had c hanged from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things”.

Listening for general comprehension
While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly
known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”.
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time to their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “Distant Parent Phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in dev eloping countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. Listening for specific information

“Where is the university?” is the question many visitors to Cambridge ask. But no one could point at any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges.It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city. Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet their minimum entrance requirements set by the university. And the graduates usually live and study in their colleges but they are taught in very small groups. Lectures and laboratories and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings. There are over ten thousand undergraduates and three thousand five hundred post-graduates. About 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes. The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than 60 specialist subject
libraries as well as the university library, which as the copy-right library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain. Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.

Unit Two What Do You Know About
Love?
Ⅰ. Pre-listening Activities
Part 2：1. AGI 2. BDF 3. CEH
■Script
Love means trusting the person I love. If I love you, I trust that you will accept my caring and my love and that you won’t deliberately hurt me. I trust that you will find me attractive, and that you won’t abandon me; I trust the mutual nature of our love. If we trust each other, we are willing to be open to each other and reveal our true selves.
Love is open. If I love you, I encourage you to reach out and develop other relationships. Although our love for each other and our commitment to each other might prohibit certain actions on our parts, we are not totally and exclusively married to each other. It is a false love that cements one person to another in such a way that he or she is not given room to grow.
Love is selfish. I can only love you if I genuinely love, value, appreciate, and respect myself. If I am empty, then all I can give you is my emptiness. If I feel that I’m complete and worthwhile in myself, then I’m able to give to you out of my fullness. One of the best ways for me to give you love is by fully enjoying myself with you.

Suppose you have everything: a good job, good health, good reputation, good relationships and lot of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The LOVE. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul.
Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning forever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love.
It is easy to fall in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before indulging in serious long-term love relationships, be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life miserable. If this is the case with you then try to get rid of that person as soon as possible.
In order to make the journey of life more exciting and enjoyable, you need a loving and caring person with whom you can share your values, dreams, fantasies, joys and jokes. In difficult times of anxiety, sorrow, distress or loss of near and dear ones, this person should stand firm besides you and console you in every possible manner.
Love your life and love the person who is in your life. Keep the flames of love burning to live a great, great love life.

Why do two people love each other? Why do we need someone to l ove? Why can’t we love ourselves and exist alone? And what is that chemistry that a couple loves each other? Why both should love each other, and nobody else? Love is truly a mystery.
The first reason is of course the passion one feels for the other. Call it hormones, mind, heart, emotions or whatever, one falls in love with another person and cannot live without him or her. Physical beauty is not the sole criteria in romantic passionate love. A very beautiful girl can passionately fall in love with an ordinary-looking man to the surprise of all. There is something more that is yet to be explored. Ask a lover about why he or she loves her beloved and you will never get a logical answer. Love does not measure qualities, nor sets any standards.
Sometimes the love arises out of appreciation of the other. This love is different from romantic love, but can be equally magnetic. You may get attracted to some persons singing so much that you want to be with him or her all the time. It can be any quality, but it is the appreciation of quality that brings forth this love. In this case the love is passionate love with that quality.
In some cases two persons find so many things alike between each other that they believe they are soul mates. Made for each other, these lovers are bound by the common qualities. Whatever may be the reason for falling in love, please fall in love because it is incomparable. Listening for specific information
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Listening for specific information：1. C 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. D
■Script
Listening for general comprehension
We search for love and try to get love, and yet it seems like we never get enough. Even when we have found love, it can slip away as time passes.
Love is both simpler and more mysterious than we have imagined. Love is the spacious, open attention of our awareness. The key to experiencing love is to notice where awareness is flowing right now. That flow of awareness is love, and it is the most satisfying and nourishing thing we can experience.
When someone else is lovingly aware of us, we can experience the outer expression of their love. We can see the way they are looking at us, the smile on their faces, and the responsiveness of their reactions to us. But the awareness of us is arising in them. The love is flowing from them towards us, and so it is filling them with this sense of satisfaction and joy.
Obviously it can be easier to open your heart and allow a fuller expression of your own love when the requirements of your conditioning are being met. When someone who matches your ideal for a lover is exhibiting attraction and interest in you, it is often especially easy to give them that same openness and attention in return. So naturally, when two people are falling in love, they are both feeling the fullness and richness of the free flow of awareness.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
2. What is the key to experiencing love?

In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse
where I worked as manager died at heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging out the “Going Out of Business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for pots and plants to place in the reception areas in the offices. “I don’t kn ow anything about plants,” she said, “I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.
