Unit 6 Traveling and Sightseeing Thinking AheadStudents are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below:1. Do you like traveling? Where have you been before?Yes, I do. I have been to quite a lot of places, Mountain Tai, the Great Wall, Korea and Singapore, among which, Singapore impresses me the most for its combination of both a prosperous society and city of natural beauty. Believe me: you can never forget this country once you take a deep breath of fresh air there.2. How to make a reservation in the hotel?Firstly, you should make it clear when you want to check in, how long you are supposed to stay there. Then, you should tell what kind of room and how many rooms you want. The last but not the least is that, you must leave your name and maybe your contact number, which will surely help you a lot afterwards.3. What should you pay attention to when at table abroad?mind your manners at table;pay attention to your words and gestures;handle your knives and forks correctly;never talk with your mouth full;never make sounds when you’re eating or drinking something.Part I Video TimeIn this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1,students will watch a video clip from The Beach and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video.TranscriptFirst Visit to BangkokMy name is Richard.So what else do you need to know?Stuff about my family or where I’m from?None of that matters.Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose.Looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting, and yes, I admit, something more dangerous.So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane, three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touched down in Bangkok.“Hey, you! How about you? You want to go to the waterfall? Come on! Floating market! 1,500! Cheap for you! Come on. Hey!”“Hey, you need somewhere to stay?”“No. I’ll be fine. I’ll find my own place. Thanks.”“What do you want, man?”…And this is it—Bangkok, good time city, gateway to Southeast Asia.Where dollars and Deutschmarks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars.“Good time. Boy? Girl? No problem.”…This is where the hungry come to feed.“You want to drink snake blood?”“Wait a minute. Did you say snake blood?”“Oh, yeah.”“No, thanks.”“What is wrong with snake blood?”“I just don’t like the idea.”“Or maybe you’re scared? Afraid of something new?”“No. I just don’t like the idea, that’s all.”“Ha ha! Like every tourist. You want it all be safe, just like America.”So never refuse an invitation.Never resist the unfamiliar.Never fail to be polite.“Gentlemen, that was excellent.”Never outstay your welcome.Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it.(From /u/40/114596200.pdf) Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Watching for Global UnderstandingStudents are asked to watch the video clip and answer the following questions.1) What did Richard do in the plane?He watched three dumb movies, had two plastic meals, and drank six bottles of beer.2) What suggestions did Richard give us?Never refuse an invitation.Never resist the unfamiliar.Never fail to be polite.Never outstay your welcome.Exercise 2 Watching for Specific InformationStudents are asked to watch the clip and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1) None of that matters.2) Good time city.3) This is where the hungry come to feed.4) Gentlemen, that was excellent.5) And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it.Task 2In task 2,students will watch a video clip about the sight spot—Sierra Madre and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video.TranscriptSierra Madre TourismThe sheer beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is only one reason why many visitors come a long way to enjoy some quiet time in this part of the country known as the Copper Canyon.“Its natural beauty and panorama that it offers is unbelievable. If you just look at the beauty that you see here. It’s, it’s aw e-inspiring.”The views of the beautiful canyons are spectacular. A train ride through dozens of tunnels adds to the allure of the mountains. And the opportun ity to interact with the region’s Tarahumara Ind ians is another reason this isn’t an average mountain destination.“You have the Tarahumara Indians, inhabit in these mountains. And the Tarahumara Indians is one of the most unique native Americans that you still can see in its original state or the, in the original habits that they have kept for thousands of years.”But is this entire natural environment at risk as a result of an increase in tourism itself? Not according to an areal businessman, who believes in playing by the rules of nature for the benefit of the region.“It’s a, it’s a very complex thing, but we believe that is (the) only way to go. And for future generations, we have to start now by preserving what we have and letting older generations alsoenjoy what we’re doing right now. So, it’s a job and it’s a work that we’re gonna do forever.”Tourism officials say there is no reaso n to worry. They say there aren’t enough visitors in the Copper Canyon region to prompt cause for concern. But they are preparing for the future by researching and developing conservation plans.“Of course, we want to develop the area but we’re taking care of nature. It’s very important for us to protect nature. The Copper Canyon is very very important for tourism in the state of Chihuahua.”“We want to be more cautious. We created an organization called Sierra Madre Explorer that is dedicated, you know, to keep the, the, perhaps, to keep the destination as untouchable as we can. And so that’s a big effort we’re doing because we see a big responsibility to keep it very very clean and very eco-safe.”Regardless of the reason, mountain lovers are pleased that at least for now the precious landscape won’t be touched by the hand of economic progress.(From /index.php?showtopic=130873) Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to watch the video and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).T 1) The beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is one reason why visitors come to enjoy this part of the country.F 2) Tourism officials want to develop the area without taking care of nature.T 3) They have already created an organization to protect the holiday destination.F 4) Nowadays the landscape is touched by the hand of economic progress.Exercise 2 Essay WritingIn the video we can obviously feel that people are worrying about whether tourism will do harm to the natural environment. In other words, they are concerning about the ecological crisis. Students are asked to write a composition entitled The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism to express their opinions on this topic. They should write at least 200 words.SampleThe Ecological Crisis on the Booming TourismTraveling is among many people’s favorite recreations, which enables us not only to broaden our horizons, but also to shape our mind and spirits. However, just like a coin has two sides, tourism may bring about a serious problem—ecological crisis. The environment has been suffering with the boom of tourism. In order to attract tourists, many places have been turned intoresorts. Forests are gone, prairies are destroyed, rivers and lakes are polluted, and wild animals are dying out.These horrible scenes should give rise to our great attentions. We must protect our eco-environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery. In order to keep a balance between tourism and ecology, the concept of eco-tourism, which intends to bring people closer to nature with as little disturbance as possible, should be advocated. Funding environmental programs and limiting excessive exploitation of natural resources should be done by all levels of governments. What we need to do is simple: do not litter; strictly observe regulations at resorts, and use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible, only by which, can we hope to build a harmonious environment for traveling. At last, we should keep in mind that when we travel we should take away nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints.Part II Listening ActivitiesIn this part, students will have 3 listening tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will listen to a dialogue about taking a reservation over the phone and then do the exercises as required.TranscriptTaking a Reservation over the PhoneLeo: Plaza Hotel, good morning. Leo speaking.Mona:Ah yes, I’d like to book two rooms for myself and my father. Could you tell me the cost ofa single room per night?Leo: Certainly.

I recommend it.6) I will also bring your sourdough bread in just a moment.Additional ListeningIn this section, students will listen to a passage about the longest suspension bridge in the world and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptThe Longest Suspension Bridge in the WorldVerrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbor in 1524 and named it Angou lême. He described it as “a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the mids t of which flowed a great river”. Though V errazano is by no means considered to be a greatest explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, for on November 21st, 1964, the longest suspension bridge in the world was named after him.The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of 4,260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer. Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and e legant, fulfilling its designer’s dream to c reate “an enormous obje ct drawn as faintly as possible”.(From /Article/1321.shtml)Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Listening ComprehensionStudents are asked to listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.1) D2) A3) BExercise 2 Listening for DetailsStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1)Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbor in 1524 andnamed it Angoulême（安古拉姆）.2) The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea.3) Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet.4) Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire.Part III Oral PracticeIn this part, students will have 3 tasks to accomplish.Task 1 Group DiscussionStudents are asked to work in groups and tell each other three places where they would make their dream trips if they had the time and money. They should explain their reasons for their choice.SampleIf I had money and time, I would first go to Greece, next to Paris and then to Austria. I choose Greece as the first because ancient Greek civilization impresses me the most and I am looking forward to a visit to the Parthenon, which is the most important and characteristic monument of Greek civilization.My second choice is Paris which is a romantic city and the paradise for artists. Paris, the “City of Lights”, is best known for its world-renowned beauty and charm. The Louvre which is located on the right bank of the Seine River is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Other places like the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles are all attractive places of interest.I choose Austria, the land of music, out of my love for classical music. Austria is the hometown of many world-famous classical musicians such as the Strauss family, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Franz Schubert whose music I have been enjoying for years.Hopefully, my dream will be fulfilled one day. As you can see, all these places are located in Europe and thus it won’t cost too much to visit and take too long before I can save enough money to cover the expenses.Task 2 Pair WorkIn partⅡtask 2, students have heard a dialogue about dining a broad. Imagine it’s the lunch time in a coffee shop. Students are asked to work in pairs and make a short dialogue between a customer and a waiter/waitress.Sample for the DialogueWaitress: Hello, may I take your order?Customer: Yes, I would like the tomato and cucumber salad, garlic bread, spaghetti and meatballs and iced tea with lemon please.Waitress: Do you want to upgrade that to a super value meal?Customer: No, thanks, but what is a special meal?Waitress: That is a set meal with little fat for people on a diet. Would you like one? Customer: No, thanks, this is enough.Waitress: Is this for here or to go?Customer: I eat in, oh, and can I get some apple pies?Waitress: Sorry, the pie machine is out of work. Your total is 6 bucks.Task 3 Role PlayStudents are asked to find two partners to play the roles of a local guide, Wang and two tourists, Jack and Mike. Jack and Mike have never been to the Great Wall before and are curious about almost everything. Wang introduces the Great Wall to them, and tries his/her best to answer their questions.Sample for the DialogueWang: We’re approaching Badaling and you will see the Great Wall in a short while.Jack: Wonderful! We’ve been waiting for it so long.Mike: W hat’s the length of the Great Wall?Wang: The Great Wall meanders from east to west for about 6,000 kilometers or 12,000 li. That’s why we call it in Chinese “Wan Li Chang Cheng”, w hich literally means “Ten Thousand Li Long Wall”.Jack: And it was built more than 2,000 years ago?Wang: Yes, construction of the Wall first began during the Warring States period about 2,500 years ago. Some kingdoms built huge walls hoping to protect their territories. When Qin Shihuang or the First Emperor unified China in 221BC, he decided to have the various sections of the walls linked up and also extended. From that we got the Great Wall.Jack: And that’s what we’re going to see, right?Wang: No, not really. The Qin Great Wall hasn’t got much left today. In the subsequent dynasties, the Great Wall was rebuilt many times. The last massive rebuilding of the Great wall was in Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall we shall see at Badaling was rebuilt then. Oh, here we are.Please remember the number of our bus. Should you go astray from the group as I knowsome younger members of our group would like to have a quick climb to the top, please re member to come here before 11 o’clock.Jack: What are those towers on the wall spaced at regular distances from one another?Wang: They are beacon fire towers. In ancient times, if attacked by enemies the guards would set off smoke in the day-time and bonfire at night to alarm troops stationed along the wall. Jack: I see Bob and Ma rk are already on the wall. Let’s quicken our steps.Wang: Please watch your step. It’s very steep here and the surface is a little slippery.Jack: I now understand why you told us to wear no high heeled shoes.Wang: Shall I give you a hand?Mike: No, no. I’m doing fine with the help of the banisters.Jack: Hold on. A few more steps will bring us to the top.Wang: Now, this is the furthest point we can go. Beyond here, the wall has not been restored yet.Why don’t we sit down and rest for a while before we turn back?Mike: This is such a lovely place! Green mountains roll over one another. Lush trees dot the slopes. A gentle breeze caresses us and the Great Wall winds its way like a giant serpent. Wang: I also want to tell you a well-known legend. In 221 B.C., in ShanXi Province there was a poor scholar. One day the soldiers came to his village and seized every man in sight, but the scholar managed to escape by hiding himself in a garden. He was discovered by a beautiful young girl named Meng Jiangnu who helped him. Soon they fell in love. But on their wedding d ay he was seized by the emperor’s soldiers and taken to the Great Wall to work.For months and months, Meng Jiangnu waited for her husband to return but there was no news of him. Finally she decided to go to the Great Wall to look for him. After a long and hard journey, she arrived at the beginning of the wall, at Shanhaiguan by the sea. After searching for him for many weeks, she finally gave up her hope. In great despair she knelt by the wall and wept for three days and three nights. The wall, weakened by her tears, collapsed around here and there, where great stones had once been, lay the dead body of her husband.Meng Jiangnu was heart-broken. She threw herself into the sea and drowned. If you get the chance to go to Shanhaiguan yo u’ll see a temple dedicated to her memory over-looking the sea.Jack: Well, Wang, you are not only knowledgeable about history, but also have the gift of the gab!(From /yingyu/55/n-90755.html) Time for FunOne-breath EnglishStudents will listen to the following recording and repeat the sentences after the tape.Step 1Use one breath to imitate the speakers’ pronunciation and intonation. Try to control your speed and make sure you have the right and clear pronunciation and intonation.Step 2Articulate it as clearly and quickly as possible.。

UNIT6What does it feel like to help dying patients through their final days? Experience it through the eyes of hospice nurse Jill Campbell, who does her job with grace, compassion, and gratitude.1.Outside, it's noisy on this busy block of row houses in Baltimore. But inside one tidy living room, all is quiet except for the sound of a woman's raspy breathing. The patient is huddled in an easy chair under a handmade pink-and-blue afghan, a knit cap on her head and booties on her feet. She has trouble staying warm these days. Her cancer has returned with a vengeance and she has only a few weeks to life.Hospice nurse Jill Campbell kneels down beside her patient, listens to her breathing, and then checks her blood pressure. Campbell has already hauled in oxygen tanks, showed family members how to work them, organized the medicine, and assessed how her patient has been eating and sleeping.2.But now is a moment to connect one-on-one. Campbell wraps her hands around the woman’s hands and rubs them together to warm them. She looks into her face. “are you feeling a little better?” she asks softly.3.Getting to know her patients and helping them through the toughest time of their lives is what Campbell, 43, appreciates most about being a hospice nurse. “I don’t know of another position where you can do more for people,” she says.4.Her patients have all been told that they have six months or less to live. Rather than continue with often-difficult or painful treatments that probably won’t extend their lives, they have decided to stop trying for a cure. Instead, with the help of hospice care, they’ll focus on comfort and on living whatever they have left of their lives to the fullest ---usually in their own home.5.Being able to die at home is a major part of the appeal of hospice, but patients and family members may not see it that way at first. “A lot of people still view hospice as giving up and letting the disease in,” says Campbell. That’s why the decision to call in hospice care can be an incredibly difficult one for a family to make. Once they do, though, most patients and their families soon understand the value of having a team of dedicated professionals---including social workers, health aides, chaplains, and nurses---work together to provide not only physical but also emotional and spiritual support. 帮助即将离世的患者度过最后的时光会是怎样的感受呢？让我们借助吉尔·坎贝尔的所见经历这一切吧。

Most people like alcohol all over the world. Drinking alcohol is a social activity for people. But alcohol can be dangerous if people drink too much. A little alcohol is good for health and mind, but too much alcohol can cause damage to our minds and bodies. I learned that people should drink a glass of water for every drink of alcohol they have. This will help prevent dehydration, and perhaps stop a hang-over. I also learned that if someone's blood alcohol concentration goes over the 4.5 point, he or she might stop breathing and die. I think alcohol is a good drink because usually everyone feels good, and they can enjoy talking. However, people must take responsibility for their actions and drink responsibly.Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences with the information you hear.1.

Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms o f making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t getto an in terview or at least people won’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Um, do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, er holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course you have to ask yourself if they’re like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you?

Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. )Mr. Toms: Yes, I see.

Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them —and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman —I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert. And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。

Unit Six Globalization*************Part one Three Eras of Globalization************* Listening Script oneBasically what I am arguing there is that, there’ve been 3 great eras of globalization, I would argue. The first era, try to call globalization 1.0, lasted from while, I would say, 1492 until the early 1800s. Say, 1820 was the beginning of global arbitrage. The first era of globalization 1.0 really shrank the world from a size large to a size medium. That era of globalization was really spearheaded by countries globalizing. You went global through your country. Whether it’s Spain exploring the new world, Portugal East Asia, Britain colonizing India, it was countries going global for reasons of imperialism, power, natural resources. But the dynamic agent of globalization in that era was really the country. The second era of globalization, globalization 2.0, I would argue, was from early 1800s until the year 2000. It just ended. And that era of globalization shrank the world from size medium to size small. And that era of globalization, I would argue, was spearheaded by companies globalizing, multinationals globalizing for markets and for labor. And in that era of globalization, you went global through your company. The company was the dynamic agent of that era of globalization. What I am trying to argue in this book is while you were sleeping, we enter globalization 3.0, certainly while I was sleeping. It is shrinking the world from size small to size tiny and flattening the global economic playing field at the same time. Only what’s really new, unique and different about this era is that this era of globalization is not built around countries globalizing, and it’s not built around companies globalizing. What is new and unique about this era is the degree to which it is and will continue to be built around individuals globalizing, individuals and small groups. What is the new and unique thing about this era is the degree to which individuals and small groups can globalize themselves and increasingly must think of themselves globally and locate themselves globally. And pay attention, this era of globalization, I would argue, unlike globalization 1.0 and 2.0, is not gonna be built exclusively around a group of white western individuals who dominated the first 2 eras of globalization. It’s gonna be built around individuals and small groups of every color of the rainbow who will be able to plug and play. Listening Script twoScott London: The case, as it’s usually presented, is that the globalized economy is a good thing that will secure jobs, allow us to remain competitive, and promote democracy abroad.Isn’t there some truth to that?Jerry Mander: The people who are making that case are the people who are promoting globalization — corporations and banks and governments. They are saying that globalization can solve the world’s problems, that it’s going to give people something to eat and so on. They are redesigning an economy that they say works. But it doesn’t work.We’ve had globalization for quite a while, it’s just being accelerated right now. Wherever the rules of free trade and economic globalization are followed, you have economic and ecological disasters immediately thereafter. You’ve got the complete destruction of small, traditional farming in Africa and elsewhere; you’ve got the complete devastation of nature all around the world; you’ve got people shoved off their lands to make Way for giant damsand agri-business and so on, who then become part of the millions and millions of people roaming the land and going into cities looking for impossible-to-find jobs, all in competition with each other, and violent and angry. And then people are angry with them, because who needs more people around? So you’ve set into motion a global disarray and nonfunctionalism that would not have been achieved — certainly not at the same level and with the same speed — without this emphasis on global development.However poorly people lived in terms of material wealth in traditional societies, there was much that they retained. They retained a fair amount of local control. They retained some degree of traditional culture. Even in societies that had already been impacted, like India, you had a lot of cultural identity and a history of relationships to scale that were really different. It was an economy of small-scale institutions. That has been wiped out by economic globalization with the invasion of franchises and giant institutions that have taken over the land.London: I remember a full-page ad in the New York Times. A long list of Nobel laureates in economics and the various sciences expressed their support for the free-trade agreement.How is it that so many “experts” could speak out in favor of something that has such damaging effects?Mander: Look, the roots of globalization are in the concepts that are underneath it. The concepts of economic globalization are the absolute need for economic growth and the viability of the free market. Economic globalization is an acceleration of both of those conceptual frameworks. Those frameworks are not questioned in this society. In every newspaper report about the economy, in every presidential campaign, and in a high percentage of congressional speeches, people insist on the need for more economic growth.This idea is at the root of our classical economics. The fact that so-called experts, like five former presidents and five former secretaries of state, all got together in a press conference and said that free trade is a good thing was already known. They were the ones who helped create it. What was the big news about that? The fact that big economists and big corporations all think the global economy is a good thing is not news. Of course they think so, they are the ones who have been running it all along.***************Part Two Globalization and China************** Listening Script oneMr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to be here at this critical point in China’s remarkable development. Your topic, globalization and its far-reaching impacts, could not be more timely. It tops the international agenda in policymaking circles, it absorbs academics and scholars, it generates much interest in the media, and it fascinates people around the world as they debate the impact on their own lives.For China, this topic is anything but theoretical. It could not be more real. In the coming months and years, China must make decisions that will determine how well it integrates further into the global system. There is no longer a question of whether to integrate, but only of how best to do so.Globalization offers enormous benefits, in the form of higher productivity and living standards. But it also poses daunting challenges — navigating capital markets and ensuring that the benefits of the globalized economy are shared by all. In the end, China, like all nations, mustfind its own way, true to its culture and institutions. The IMF, along with the rest of the UN family, can help by providing a safer environment to do so. As UN Secretary General Kofi Annan recently said: “It is our job to ensure globalization provides benefits, not just for some, but for all; that peace and security hold, not only for a few, but for the many; that opportunities exist, not merely for the privileged, but for every human being everywhere.”China’s decision to further open up its economy should help to make domestic industry more efficient, spur the development of the legal and regulatory framework necessary for a market economy, and increase foreign direct investment. But it will also give rise to major short-term dislocations in the transition--possibly including higher unemployment and greater income disparities. It will certainly increase competitive pressures in a number of sectors (agriculture, automobiles, and certain capital-intensive producers, such as in telecommunications), all of which should work in the right direction for the longer term.For these reasons, it is essential that China continue to prepare its domestic enterprises and banking system for global competition. This will entail establishing a government social security system, strengthening the banking system, and further liberalizing interest rates. As the effects of increased competition feed through into efficiency and productivity gains, reversing the declines witnessed in recent years, the benefits will be seen in higher living standards for China’s people.Listening Script twoAnd I’m going to give you a very quick overview of some of the things that I’ve written in my new book called Integrating China into the Global Economy. The first question I try to re-answer in the book is “why did they bother?” The first diagram I think poses the question. They increased their share in the world trade more rapidly than the other countries in post WWII period. They’ve grown from not being a trader basically to the seventh largest trading country in the world. And all these outside the WTO and not subjected to any of the disciplines and the constraints that the WTO system imposes. So the second question I try to answer is “What was the motivation for making the commitments they did in WTO accession package. And basically my argument here is a familiar one. I think that the motivation is at least to a considerable degree internal, that they wanna to use WTO to push ahead their own domestic reforms to lock in a number of market opening moves that would introduce more competition in critical sectors on a very predictable and irrevocable, hopefully irrevocable schedule and I think, you know, the problems they still have are reflected in some of the structural challenges. The slowing growth was apparent through much of the 90s and apparently slower since the date for the year 2001 when they break down quarter by quarter in the largest stimulus programs they’ve been engaged in last three years trying to maintain the growth rate. But I was saying more than that... I would say the leadership is really committed to globalization. They see the (globalization as an inevitable trend. In the questionnaires, you know, “how do we position China to take the best advantage of it.” And I think we see there are a lot of commitments. And they can gain even more than what they have in the first diagram.************Part Three Globalization and Inequality************ Listening Script oneMy task is to talk about globalization and inequality in developing countries, withemphasis on Latin America. I have a simple point to make: globalization puts developing countries at risk of increasing income inequality. The increase in inequality in the United States over the last 25 years (during which the income of the poorest 20 percent of households has fallen in real terms by about 15 percent) has been blamed, rightly or wrongly, on changes in trade, technology and migration patterns associated with increasing economic integration with other countries. For developing countries, any risk of increasing inequality associated with active participation in the global economy is even greater, if only because of the greater inherent institutional weaknesses associated with being poor. Latin America has a special disadvantage: its historical legacy of already high inequality. Inequality that is already high complicates the task of effective conflict management, which Dani Rodrik has just reminded us is a critical input to managing open economies. In the past, for example, high inequality combined with the politics of redistribution led to periodic bouts of populism in Latin America—ineffective and counterproductive efforts to manage the conflicts provoked by the dangerous combination of high inequality and hard times.Let me start with two prefatory remarks. First, globalization — that is the trend of increasing integration of economies in terms not only of goods and services, but of ideas, information and technology — has tremendous potential benefits for developing countries. Nothing I say should suggest otherwise. The challenge is to realize the potential benefits without undertaking huge offsetting costs. Second, not all inequality is a bad thing. Some inequality represents the healthy outcome of differences across individuals in ambition, motivation and willingness to work. This constructive inequality provides incentives for mobility and rewards high productivity. Some would say constructive inequality is the hallmark of the equal opportunity society the U.S. symbolizes. Increases in this constructive inequality may simply reflect faster growth in income for the rich than the poor — but with all sharing in some growth. But of course it can also be true that inequality is destructive, when for example it reflects deep and persistent differences across individuals or groups in access to the assets that generate income — including not only land (which is extremely unequally distributed in Latin America) but, most important in today’s global information age, the asset of education. Obviously this destructive inequality undermines economic growth and efficiency, by reducing the incentives for individuals to work, to save, to innovate and to invest. And it often results in the perception if not the reality of injustice and unfairness — with the political risk in the short term of a backlash against the market reforms and market institutions that in the long term are the critical ingredients of shared and sustainable growth.I have three parts to my remarks: first, on inequality and market reforms; second, on inequality and the recent financial crisis; third, on what to do, or more grandly on policy implications.Listening Script twoThe question is, given the difficulties and problems that already stand particularly in developing world, has the way globalization being managed increased inequality and poverty? And I believe quite strongly that in some part of the world, not all, in some parts of the world, it has. So I began the discussion talking about how globalization had benefited East Asia and how East Asian countries had managed to grow very rapidly on the basis of globalization, but how they in the late 80s and early 90s, they were forced to have, for instance, capital market globalization and that exposed them to enormous amount of risk and then they had the crisis.That crisis increased poverty enormously, which was really quite striking that the progress, for instance, Indonesia had made in about 30 years reducing poverty, was undone in the space of about two years. So you can do, you know, it’s easier, general rule is, it’s easier to create poverty than to reduce it. And some of our institutions have done a fantastic job. Now they, there're two, I guess my time is running out. OK. There’re two examples that I can talk, there’re more but let me just give you two examples. The first is that some of the rules I referred to earlier expose countries to additional risks. Additional risk means higher volatility. And it’s the poor that disproportionally bear the cost of that higher volatility. The second point is that there’ve been an asymmetry, by the way, just to abide by George’s point. He pointed out academics do tend to talk longer and the natural unit of time is 15 minutes for us. So that, whereas George is used to making short presentations (to) people whose time was very valuable. That’s a difference between getting pay for talking vs. trying to get somebody to do what you want. So, anyway, so the second point is that the asymmetries in globalization have some inequality generating consequences. The asymmetries in trade and globalization have, we call, in terms of trade of facts, the main fact of which was that all we want was the champion of a great success. Whereas the poorest region in the world, the sub-Saharan Africa saw its income decline by 2%. It wasn’t just the United States got the lion’s share of the gains that you might have thought. Those gains were partly at the expense of the poorest region in the world. Similarly capital market globalization means that capital can go in and out very easily, as George pointed out. That means the capital gives the right to who’s applicable domestically. Because it’s more difficult to get capital. It’s asymmetry in domestically, in the rules of games, how you abide by the rules of governance, as a result of that again were to enhance inequality. In short, I think there’re enormous numbers of problems. I think globalization has enormous potential for reducing poverty as we’ve seen that it has. But the way that it has been managed has not done that. And the way that we address those problems is, I think, is to try to address the gap that has occurred between the way globalization has occurred at economic level and political globalization to make globalization more democratic and then more responsive.。

Unit 6 FestivalsTask 3Number OneWoman: I like Earth Day a lot. I mean, it's important to think abou t the environment especially on Earth Day. Now, I...I mean, you have to think about this：Our planet is our only home, and we must not destroy it. Now, on this day, people plant trees or clean up parks, and I just think that's so wonderful. Now, because most events need to take place on a weekend, Earth Day is usually on the weekend before or after April 22nd.Number TwoMan: Valentine's Day is a day when couples show that they love each other.They give each other cards, and they buy each other flowers and boxes of chocolates ---and they have romantic dinners together. It's just a really romantic day. Valentine's Day is on February 14th, and it is definitely my favorite holiday.Number ThreeWoman: Well, in the United States, Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. Uh...People get together with friends and family for a big meal. And many people eat roast turkey, potatoes, ah...cranberry sauce, and...mmm.., pumpkin pie for dessert. Oh, uh...most people don't work the Friday after Thanksgiving, so it's a long four-day weekend. Well, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.Number FourMan: I...uh...I love April Fools' Day. It's...it's a lot of fun, you know, because everybody can...can play tricks on everybody else and not get into trouble. It's not...not really a holiday--it's just a normal day, but I really like it. It's...it's April 1st, that's when April Fools' Day is, and after you play a trick on somebody, you...you yell April Fools!"Task 4Man: The Day of the Dead in Mexico is the first of November. Some people believe that the souls of dead people visit earth for one day each year.Urn...The living people welcome them. There's a big parade, and...and people wear strange costumes and masks. Uh...Children get candy in the shapes of skulls. It may sound frightening, but...um...it's actually a very happy day. There can even be singing and dancing. At the end of the day,everyone has a big meal.Woman: American Independence Day is July 4th. Now, this is a great day. It's the day when we celebrate our independence from Great Britain in 1776. Now, it's a very important national holiday,and...uh...many cities and small towns have big parades. And people decorate things in the colors of our flag, which, of course, are red, white, and blue. And...uh...the weather can be very hot at this time of year, so many people often have outdoor picnics. But at night comes the best part--people watch fireworks!Man: Ramadan is a month when people don't eat or drink during the daytime. They can only have their meals in the evening after it gets dark and in the early morning before it gets light. But at the end of Ramadan, they celebrate. In the morning, people go to the mosque. Then they put on their best clothes, visit their family, and give each other presents. After that, there's a big meal for the whole family People continue to eat all day long!Task 5Number OneResearcher: Excuse me, we're doing some research on how people spend Christmas. Can I ask what you do?Young male adult: Well, eat, drink, and watch telly mostly. On Christmas Eve I usually go to a party with some friends. On Christmas Day, I get up late and then we go down the pub, comehome, watch the Queen on the telly----my Mum and Dad always like to see the Queen'sSpeech. Then we have dinner and well, watch telly--or go to sleep.Researcher: And what about Boxing Day?Young male adult: We always go and watch a football match.Researcher: Do you like Christmas?Young male adult: Yeah, it's great.Number TwoResearcher: Excuse me, can I ask you how you celebrate Christmas?Youngish woman: Well, we don't really celebrate it, because we're not Christians. We're Hindus and it isn't a Hindu festival.Researcher: So is Christmas Day just a normal day for you, then?Woman: No, not really, because we don't go to work. And we still give the children presents. You see, when they go to school all their friends are talking about the presents that they got. And so we give the children presents, but we don't really celebrate it.Researcher: Do you put up decorations or have a Christmas tree?Woman: Yes, we do, actually, but some families don't. And we do enjoy all the films and things on the telly.Number ThreeResearcher: Excuse me, we're doing some research on how people spend Christmas. Can I ask how you celebrate it?Woman: Certainly. Christmas is a family thing for us. We usually have my parents-in-law and my brother.Researcher: And what sorts of things do you do?Woman: On Christmas Eve we go to church for the midnight carol service. Then on Christmas Day the children open their presents from Father Christmas. We have lunch at about 15 o'clock--turkey and Christmas pudding, of course. Then after that we open the family presents and then usually play games or watch a film on TV.Researcher: What about Boxing Day?Woman: We normally go out for a walk, if the weather’s fine. Or we sometimes go to see a pantomime.Researcher: Do you like Christmas?Woman: Yes, it is very nice for children, but I think it is getting too materialistic nowadays with all the presents and the decorations that people buy. I think we’ve forgotten what is really for.Number FourResearcher: Excuse me, we're doing some research on how people spend Christmas. Can I ask how you celebrate it?Man: We don't.Researcher: Oh, why's that?Man: We always go on holiday over Christmas. We usually go somewhere Where's there's sunshine--Egypt, India, places like that.Researcher: Do you like Christmas?Man: No, I can't stand it. I mean, I don't mind having a party on Christmas Day, but all the rest of it--eating and drinking too much, sending cards to people that you haven't seen for years. And the weather in Britain's awful at that time of year. No, you can keep it.Task 7Part 1Right then, I'm going to tell you a little bit about the festival of Hina Matsuri. I think this was one of the most interesting and touching things I witnessed while I was living in Japan. It's a one-day festival, and takes place in Japan each year on 13rd March. Hina Matsuri means "little doll" and it is, as you can probably guess, festival which is completely dedicated to dolls. Many Japanese girls take part in festival.Part 2Now these dolls aren't something that you just play with, like a Barbie or something like that, rather, they are something that you display, you know, have on show. I've brought a couple in, and you can see just how beautiful they are. They are dressed in the most exquisite costumes. Lots and lots of girls are given a set of dolls when they are born, often by their, er, grandparents, or else there are dol1s which have been in the family for generations. The idea is that the dolls are used to teach the girls about traditional values. They take enormous care of them.Part 3Anyway, in the week leading up to Hina Matsuri, families put the dolls in the best room of the house. They take a great deal of pride in the display. Incidentally, the dolls have to be put away after Hina Matsuri, otherwise it brings bad luck. If you're ever lucky enough to be invited, you'll probably be offered rice cakes called mochi. They’re beautifully wrapped up cherry blossom leaves. You see, thiskind of perfection is just for granted in Japan. The cakes are offered to the dolls and then to the visitors.Part 4I've said something about the private side of the festival but now I'd like to talk about its public side. Some Japanese people believe you can transfer illness or bad luck to one of these dolls. So, for instance, someone with a sick child might give a doll to a temple. As you can see, this one has got hundreds and hundreds. Anyway, what happens is, the dolls are put into boats and taken down to the seaby people wearing traditional costumes and robes. There, priests say prayers, and the boats are sent out to sea. You see, the idea is, of course, that any bad luck or illness is taken away with the dolls. Over the years it has become an extremely popular sight, and more and more people come each year to watch the ceremony. It really is quite a moving occasion.Task 8Like all nations, the United States has many holidays that occur during the year. Glancing at any U. S. calendar, you will notice the large number of days marked off as special. Besides the religious, traditional and patriotic celebrations, many American holidays are borrowed from around the world. This is, of course, a result of the large number of ethnic groups that make up the United States. Let us take a look at the various kinds of holidays that Americans celebrate.Most Americans are Christians. The Christian holiday of 1).Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and is an especially colorful occasion. Christmas occurs on December 25 when, in many places, the weather is gloomy and cold. At Christmas time, homes and shops in America are brightly decorated with colored lights and fresh-smelling Christmas trees. The streets are filled with people shopping for presents for friends and family.Besides Christian holidays, there are many holidays celebrated by other religious groups in the United States. For example, the Jews celebrate their 2).High Holy Days in early Autumn. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It begins at sundown with the blowing of a special horn to welcome the new year.All Americans enjoy the national holidays of Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Labor Day.3).Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November, celebrates the first harvest of the original European colonists back in 1621. It is a time for feasting on the delights of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.4).Independence Day is the anniversary of America's independence from the British in 1776. In order to celebrate this event, Americans set off fireworks at outdoor picnics and barbecues. Independence Day is the holiday that highlights the summer season on July Fourth.5)Labor Day, the first Monday in September, honors the workers of the land. Like Independence Day, Labor Day is a time for outdoor picnics and barbecues, and it ends the summer season.Number ThreeResearcher: Excuse me, we're doing some research on how people spendChristmas. Can I ask how you celebrate it?Woman: Certainly. Christmas is a family thing for us. We usually have myparents-in-law and my brother.Researcher: And what sorts of things do you do?Woman: On Christmas Eve we go to church for the midnight carol service.Then on Christmas Day the children open their presents fromFather Christmas.

They’re smashing my car window. Oh no! Help! Oh, there’s a tall manwith long dark hair and a big guy with a hat. Oh, no, he’s got a big bat! There’s a woman, too! She’s breaking the lock of my car door. Please, hurry!Dispatcher: Now stay calm. Please tell me the location.Caller: Oh, no! He’s breaking the back window. You’ve got to come now!Dispatcher: Yes, please tell me where you are.Caller: Oh, no! Oh, Uh. . . Yes, . . . Uh . . . On Washington Street.Please come!Dispatcher: You must tell me the address.Caller: Oh, no! The tall man is running away with my car stereo and all of my CDs. Stop! . . . Stop!Dispatcher: Please calm down. I need to know where you are. Caller: Yes. Uh . . . 23 Washington Street.D ispatcher: What’s the cross street?Caller: Green. Uh . . . Green Street. Please hurry. They’re getting away.Dispatcher: Okay. We’ll send a police car right away. Can youdescribe the suspects?Caller: A tall man, a man with a hat and a woman. The tall man has a blue jacket on. The man with the hat is wearing a green sweater. The woman has curly brown hair and ared hooded sweatershirt. The tall one has light pants. Theother man has blue jeans and the woman is wearing darksweat pants.Dispatcher: Let’s see. There’s a tall man in a blue jacket with light pants . . .Section 2: DisastersFirst I’m first going to talk about hurricanes and typhoons.These are very strong rain storms with high winds. The only difference between hurricanes and typhoon is location: Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean and typhoons happen in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. If you get news hat a hurricane or typhoon is coming here’s what you should do. First, if your home is near the ocean, try to go to a safer place. If you cannot leave, cover your windows with wooden boards and move to the inside of your home away from the windows.Next, I will discuss tornadoes. Like hurricanes and typhoons, tornadoes cause a lot of damage because of strong winds. This time, however, the winds spin very quickly in a funnel shape that looks very much like an ice cream cone. A tornado funnel is very powerful and can pick up an entire house and throw it hundreds of feet away. People involved in tornadoes should try to go to a strong safe building. If you are at home when the tornado comes, you should first open your windows and then move away from them. One of the safest places at home is the bathtub. Lie down flat and cover yourself with something like a bed mattress.The third disaster to be prepared for is an earthquake. If you live in earthquake country, you know there is never a warning before the ground begins to shake and move. In an earthquake, the ground can shake for as little as a few seconds to as much as a minute or ever longer. If you are indoors when an earthquake occurs, stay there. Do not run outside. Get away from windows. Stand in a doorway or get under a strong table or other sturdy piece of furniture. If you are outdoors, move far away from buildings or anything that can fall down. Try to find an open space.Finally, I’d like to talk about floods. A flood occurs when abody of water such as a river covers an area that is usually dry. Floods are common where there are unusually long periods of heavy rain. Unlike earthquakes, there is usually some warning before a flood. If you hear a report of flooding, don’t ignore it! Leave the areawhere you are immediately when you hear the emergency announcement.Part Four: Focus: Time ClausesExercise 1: Listen to the following clauses and circle the clauses that can be joined to them.Example: The suspect was arrested1.The woman called 9112.The robber usually puts on a disguise3.After the robber left the bank4.We could only take the most important things from our home5.We bought new flashlights and checked our food and watersupply6.The witness gave a description of the suspectExercise 2: Listen to the following sentences.

Then Janescreamed.6.The fire truck was dispatched to Mr. Saunder’s house at2:13. Exercise 3: You will hear three conversations. At the beginning of each conversation, you will hear a question. Listen to the conversation. Then, circle the best answer.1.Question: How many places did the woman go during herlunch?Woman: Yes, I’d like to report a missing purse.Police officer: Was it stolen or did you lose it?Woman: I’m really not quite sure. You see, I was eating lunch in a cafeteria with a friend. By the time I left, my purse was gone. Police Officer: Did you leave your table during the time you were at the restaurant for any reason?Woman: Well yes, actually I did. Now let’s see … I went to make a phone call when I first arrived, and after the waiter brought the menu, I quickly ran outside for a minute to get a newspaper. Police Officer: Did you have your purse with you each time? Woman: Well, now, I’m not really sure. I do remember having itwhen I bought the paper, and I must have had it when I made the phone call.Police officer: Were there any suspicious looking people near your table during your meal?Woman: No, but when I went to the ladies room… oh, of course;I must have left my purse on the sink in the ladies room! Hold on; let me go look.2.Question: What is the most serious emergency? Dispatcher: 9-1-1 Emergency Services.Woman: (Dog barking in the background)Yes, I’m calling from the Brill Building.

It turned out that Jed’s little piece of land, whi ch barely produced enough food for the family, was full of pure gold. Jed and hisfamily became instant millionaires.Although they were happy with their good fortune, they really didn’t know what to do with all of the money. Everyone in town told Jed to move to sunny and warm California to the live beside the movie stars. So Jed paced up all of his belongings and, using his old, broken-down truck, moved Elly May, Granny, and his nephew Jethro to a big, beautiful mansion in Beverly Hills, California.At first, Jed and his family had a lot of trouble adjusting to their new lives. They had never eaten in a fancy restaurant or even shopped in a big department store. Suddenly they had enough money to go anywhere and do anything. In time, with the help of his financial adviser, Mr. Drysdale, and his trusted assistant, Miss Hathaway, they learned how to live the “good life.”Jed’s story became so famous that a TV show about his life was made.

I think overacted.D:I am really sorry. I said you were being self-righteous.Ramona:it’s ok. It’s just I felt so sorry for Mildred. I know she is a little weird. But you are not the kind of the person who makes fun of themD:you were right to get mad. We did say some pretty mean things. I feel really awful. Poor Mildred. What jerks we were?Ramona:Lisa, god subject has a life of its own sometimes. Don’t be so hard on yourself.D:Ramona, you were really friend.i don’t deserve you. I am sorry .Ramona:I am sorry too.D:I know what. How about lunch tomorrow? My treat.Ramona:deal.Pannel discussionHost:good deeds is our topic for today. We all like to do some good in the world.Peter ,have you ever been involved in any charitable organization?Peter: yes, I have. First of all , I affirm to belive in giving back to the community. We get so much during the course of our life. It’s very important to give back.so other people can benefit also. I’ve been involved very closely with my neighbourhood organization.and we organize clean-ups, drives for the hunger.so you know it’s very important part of the people’s life of the thing.Host: how about you ,mimi?Mimi:yes, actually I do a lot of volunteer work. I volunteer at local grammar school. I also volunteer at community organiztion.Host:great, how about you , Linda?Linda:well, also. I think it’s very important to give back when you life are a fortunate one.and you have the means to help. I make regular donations to certain charities. And I am very involved in the neighbourhood. Because I think it’s very important you do things close to home. But I would say a good deed that makes the most differences of someone’s life was I got involved in is getting a young man out of prison who was wrongfully convicted. And with the help of some lawers, we managed to set right and justice. And that’s something that I feel my own life was enriched by doing this. Peter:like Linda was saying. We were so fortunately ,especially in the United States.we have so much and there is a lot of people out there who are less fortunate who for some reason their life went wrong. And they need helping hands sometimes. Host:so you had ,say, a lot of money. There is on object and you had plenty of time ,what charity might you pick to devote your time and money to?Peter: I would probably look into something that would benefit the children. I think regardless of what neighbourhood they live in ? what community they come from? What backgroud they are ? they are the future of our world , I think no child should be thought of as who should be wasted .Linda:when I look at all of the requests I get from donations.I can’t give to them all.A few years ago I decided that I would concentrate on those things that helped children. For the same reason you said.Mimi:I would like to start a scholarship, foundation or something to help disadvantaged children college or even better high school. Something like that. Host:perhaps you’ve on the receiving end of some charitable or good deed ,can you tell me a little bit about that?Peter:when I was younger, I come from a family that a very modest means. That my father was cooking in the restaurant, my mother was a stitcher. We didn’t have a lot and I remember there was an older teenager in my neighour who took me a younger brother almost, he took me to movies, baseball games and there was just a fun enriched my life because this person really remembered my fam ily and didn’t know me well originately. He was willing to treat me like his younger brother. It impressed me. Now I feel the same way .i want to do things for other people in that same way . because you know you did n’t have to but he wanted to.soHost: t hat’s wonderful .thank you for sharing your experiences.it’s good talking with you.。

At this point, we'll just have to make do with what we've got.Q: What will the speakers probably do?Passage I:Each year, millions of people around the world apply to study at American colleges or universities. The most widely used college admissionstest is called the SAT. More than 3,000,000 of the tests were given in 2001.The SAT was first used for college admissions in 1926. Its purpose was to help college officials identify which students would be successful in college.Critics say the test has not always done this. Research suggests that students from rich families do better on the SAT than students whose parents are poor. For example, many rich students are able to improve their scores on the test after taking costly preparation classes.Critics also say many African American and Hispanic teenagers score lower on the test than students of other ethnic groups,The College Board is a non-profit higher education association that owns the SAT. It recently announced major changes in the test. It says the new SAT will better test a student's reasoning and thinking skills. Education experts say the new test will show how well students have learned material taught in high school.The first change will end analogy questions on the SAT. Analogies are words with meanings that are linked. Critics have said that such questions show only a knowledge of words, not reasoning skills. The analogy questions will be replaced with questions that better show the student's reading ability. The second major change will add higher level mathematics questions. The final change will add a writing test. Students will have aboutthirty minutes to write about their reactions to a question or statement.In 2001, the president of the University of California, Richard Atkinson, called on his school to stop using the SAT as an entrance requirement. He said the skills it tests are not taught in high school He said the results of the test do not show if students are prepared to attend college.College Board officials say those comments caused them to move quickly to change the test. However, they say they had been discussing such changes for some time. They say students will begin taking the new SAT in March 2005. It will affect students planning to enter college in the fall of 2006.1.What is the SAT?2. What is the purpose of the SAT?3. How is the new SAT to be different from the former one?4. Which of the following is NOT true about the changes of the SAT?5. Why did the president of the University of California call on his school to stop using the SAT as an entrance requirement?1.In 1926.2.They can take costly preparation classes.3.African Americans and Hispanics.4.About30 minutes.5.In March, 2005.Passage II:Men and women in the United States who want to become doctors attend four years of college or university. They usually study science intensively. They study biology, chemistry and other sciences. If they do not, they may have to return to college for more education in science before trying to enter medical school. Some students work for a year or two in a medical or research job before they try to seek a place in a medical college.There are 125 medical colleges in the United States. More than 66,000 students are attending medical colleges. It is difficult to gain entrance to them. In 2001, about 35,000 students applied to medical schools in the United States. About 17,000 were accepted. A medical education is very costly. It costs as much as 30,000 dollars for each year.After entering medical school, students spend the next four years studying only medical sciences. The first two years of medical school are spent mainly in class. The students learn about the body and all its systems. They learn about chemistry and medicines, and they begin studying diseases and how to recognize and treat them. Many students say the first year of medical school is the most difficult. They must remember a great deal of information. For example, many schools require that students remember the names of every bone in the body.By the third year of medical school, students are ready to use their knowledge to begin helping sick people in hospital. These students work under the guidance of experienced doctors. Students observe the treatment of patients. They also examine patients and advise treatment. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice when they become doctors.During the fourth year of medical school, students begin seeking to enter a medical training program in a hospital. This training program is called a medical residency. Medical school graduates face strong competition to gain a resident position at the hospitals they want most. Hospitals want the top medical school graduates.Most states require that a person complete at least one year of medical residency before being permitted to take examinations to practice medicine, Some doctors work for many years as residents in hospitals and the residency depends on which medical field they have chosen1. What is required before someone enters medical school?2. How many medical colleges are there in the US?3. How much does medical education cost each year?4. What do many of the students think of the first year of medical school?5.

姓名：……学号：……学院：….. 专业：….. 指导老师：……Unit 6Time traveler1. What was the guy doing when he suddenly found himself in a completely different world? What year is it in this different world?Answer: The guy was just about to give his wife a present for herbirthday ,and there were thunders and lightening. Then all of a sudden, he found himself in a completely different world.It is the year 2000 i n this different world.2. What are some of the cultural shocks he’s experienced in this world?Answer: He traveled from the year 1900 to the year 2000, so he experienced many cultural shocks when communicating with others.He felt confused about the ID card, the driver licence, the credit card, ATM card and something like that. He misunderstood the meaning of the restroom and the bathroom. Also he could not understand the meaning of a mall or food court. He couldn’t read the menu and thought a hotdog as a real dog. What’s more, he was curious about the cellphone because he had never seen it before.3. Some science fictions on time travel are mainly about cultural shocks. Can you conceive of a time traveler of our time going back to 1960’s or even earlier, or vice versa? What would be some of the cultural shocks the traveler would encounter? Make a list of them or conceive a conversation as the traveler first sets foot in the different world.Answer: Recently, many TV plays, based on a series of experiences of a time traveler, such as The Palace and Startling by Each Step, arouse a great upsurge in time traveling. In fact, I can’t conceive of a time traveler of our time going back to 1960’s or even earlier,but these TV plays really appeal to me. For example, the leading lady in Startling by Each Step, traveled from our time back to Qing dynasty.Of course, a time traveler will encouter many cultural shocks. When one travels in a completely different world, he will feel like a fish out of water. He may misunderstand what others said, and can’t communicate well with others.Also,he can’t adapt to the diets in the completely different world. All in all, a time traveler can't adapt to the habits and customs very quickly.Panel discussion: cultural shock or feeling of going back home?1. Tom went to Japan back in the 70’s, yet felt like being home, with no experiences of cultural shocks. Does Tom explain why? What do you think may be an explanation for this?Answer: No,Tom gave no explicit reasons about this .In my opinion, Tom was familiar with the culture of Japan, so he could adapt to it very quickly.2. What does Peter think is a shame for tourists? Why?Answer: It’s a shame that so many Americans go abroad to enjoy exotic vacations, because they stay in the resort and don’t really go out and venture out to experience the customs and traditions of the people who live there. In his opinion, the world is so big that we can learn so much about it. However, too many people just go there and lie by the swimming pool or whatever.3. What would you anticipate being in a different culture? Would it be a smooth transition or a difficult one? Does knowing the local language help? Would it make any difference if you were a visitor or someone intending for a much longer stay? What do you think could help to make the transition easier? (at least 200 words)Answer:When in a different culture, of course, we all except that the habits and customs are familiar to us so that we can adapt to it quickly. However, as far as I’m concerned, it would turn out to be a difficult transition. At the beginning, you may feel like a fish out of water and make every possible mistake. It’s important to learn some local dialect to help you communicate with the residents more smoothly. What’s more, it must be kept firmly in mind not to talk about the taboo subjects. Only in this way can you gradually adapt to the new culture.If you intend for a much longer stay, it should be a good choice to learn about the local culture ahead of schedule. For example, you must be aware of the sensitive topics in the local culture. However, if you are just a visitor, you can surf the internet to get some useful information for your journey, such as the rout and the weather. That’s enough!It couldn’t be better to make friends with some natives. It may make the transition easier because they can give you some practical proposals. With their help, you may feel like just being at home.。
