Some people believe that breaking a mirror is a (S1) terrible thing to do. They say it will bring you seven years of (S2)misfortune.The reason behind this belief stems the old idea that a person?s soul is in their (S3) reflection, so that if you smash your mirror, you soul will be (S4) damaged too, dooming you do an early death, and not giving you entry to (S5) heaven. Is there any way to reverse this bad luck? Y es—if you very carefully (S6) pick up all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be”(S7) washed away”..Of all number, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. (S8) Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified, and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, twelve gods had gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke, entered. After the meal, Loke killed Balder, who was the most beloved of all the gods.(S9) Friday the thirteenth of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the thirteenth of March is the worst of them all.The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is luck. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and (S10)When people talk about the “seven-year itch”they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change inpersonality.T ask3: The Status on Easter IslandScriptOne of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues on Easter Island. The island is one of the most remote places on Earth, located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, but it is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who carved these statures, and how and why were they put there?Nobody knows the answer for sure, but many ate trying to find out. There are manytheories to explain this mystery. It has even been suggested the space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues. Another theory relates to the fact that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousand of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the color of sky and the sun , the shapes of clouds, and the presence of birds making flights out to sea seeking food. The Polynesians first arrived on the island in 499A.D.However, the ocean currents which carried them there would mot take them back. They were trapped and, having arrived there, could not leave. The Polynesians probable cared the statues themselves, perhaps as religious symbols.To date, 887 statues have been discovered on the island. However, only a few statues were carried intended destination. The rest were abandoned along the way.The statues appear to have been carved out of the top edge of walls of a volcano on the island. After a statue was carved, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the base of the volcano. Then it was put upright, and ropes were tied around it. Using a pulley system, the statue was moves to its intended destination.At its peak, the population of Eater Island is believed to have reached 11,000. Eventually, the resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating one another. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.1.When and by whom was the island discovered?2.Who are mentioned in the passage as possible builders of the statues?3.What is true of the Polynesians on the island according to the passage?4.How many statues ere carried to their intended destination?5. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?Keys: 1A 2.B3. D 4.D 5BFor Reference.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1This is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts.Chris: Sue, do you know why people say, “knock on wood” when they want to avoid bad luck?Susan: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know,it has a lot to do with ancient Celtic people. They worshipped trees.Chris: Sounds interesting.Susan: They thoughts trees would suck demons back into the ground.Chris:Well, when you think about the deep roots,their belief seems to make some senses.Susan: What?s more, knocking on wood was a way to brag without being punished.People once thought that evil spirits would become jealous if good fortunewas pointed out to themChris: Uh, yes, go on.Susan: well, by knocking on wood three times, the noise could frightened away the evil spirits, and they couldn?t have to rob the braggart of that good fortune Chris: I?m afraid those who don?t know this superstition might be frightened away as well.Susan:Now here?s a test. Do you know how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originated?Chris:I haven?t the slightest idea, but I?m all ears.Susan:Again this is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts. Since they worshipped trees, they conducted many of their ceremonies in thewoods in the shade of trees.Chris: Now I see. Probably it?s under these mistletoe trees that weddings took place. Susan: I wish you were standing under some mistletoe right now.Chris: Luckily I?m not. Touch wood.MODEL2 Is there any relationship between superstitions and real life?ScriptChris: It?s strange that so many people are superstitious. There must be some relationship between superstitions and real life.Susan:Y ou know, Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist researched the relationship between superstition and luck.Chris: What did he find? Most people would be interested. At least I would Susan:He polled ,000 people and fond that people who believe themselves to be lucky tend to go for positive superstitions .They may wear a ring as a talisman or often say,”touch wood” for good luck.Chris: Then, what about the unlucky people? Do you mean if they think they ateunlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions abut bad luck.Susan: Y eah. They worry a lot about a broken mirror, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Chris: So what is his point?Susan:His point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror. Chris: So, our fate is linked to our attitude rather than to our superstitions.Susan: I think that?s what he is suggesting.Chris: This research seems too complicates. If I were a psychologist, I would conducta survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number. I f there ere trafficaccidents or murders on the 13th than on other days, then we have to believe in superstitions.Susan: What if there weren?t?Chris: Then I wouldn?t be superstitious.Susan: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon. Chris: Well as long as you don?t think I?m a fool.MODEL3 I believe ETs have visited the earth before.ScriptNora: Hey, what?s this picture of yours? It looks like a flying saucer.Chris: It is. I was visited by aliens last week and this is a picture of their spacecraft. Nora: When I look closer, it resembles aliver Frisbee.Chris: But it could have been aliens. I believe ETs have visited the earth befor e. What do you think?Nora:It would be hard to believe otherwise. Projects like the pyramids are difficult to explain away, given the level of technology that was available at the time Chris: That?s for sure. They are mysterious.Nora:When you consider all those “impossibilities, it?s tempting to infer that some highly advanced civilization assisted humans in their construction.Chris: Think about this: if you were abducted by aliens and taken up to their spaceship or something …well…Nora: What do you mean?Chris: I mean, who would believe you? Y ou?d go nuts telling everyone: “It?s true! I was abducted by aliens!”Nora: And everyone would think you were crazy, or just making up a story to get attention.Chris: From what I understand,sometimes these people do go crazy, trying toconvince people about their experiences.Nora: I believe that in some cases they offer pretty good evidence.Chris: So, take a closer look at this picture. Do you still think it?s a Frisbee?Now Your TurnT ask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSimon: Eliza, do you know why people say” keep your fingers crossed”when they want to wish others luck?Eliza: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it?s a lot to do with an ancient Christian belief.Simon: Uh, go on.Eliza:In the Christian belief “making the sign of the cross”would keep away evil spirits and bad luck.Simon: I see. When you think about the cross, sign of Christianity, that belief seems to make some sense.Eliza:That?s true. That?s why children often cross their fingers when they tell a small lie. They want to keep bad luck away, or to avoid being punished. Simon: Sounds interesting. So, I?ll cross my fingers for you before you take the final examination. Eliza:Thank you.Simon: But those who don?t understand this superstition might be puzzledEliza:With interesting communications among nations, more and more people can understand it now.V. Let’s T alkScriptThanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,” stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers.It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious peopletended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once atoilet had been flushed.There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn?t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started.Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: Horseshoes as a Sign of Good LuckScriptHorseshoes are a traditional sign of good luck. Most people believe this comes from the fact that the horseshoe is shaped like the crescent moon, a period of prosperity and good fortune. One legend has it that the Devil was in disguise and wandering at large, looking for trouble. He happened to call on St. Dunstan, who ea skilled in shoeing horses. St. Dunstan recognized the Devil and tied him to a wall with only his feet free to move. He then set to work shoeing him as though he were a horse, but with such roughness the Devil cried out for mercy. St. Dunstan stopped his work and released the Devil after making him promise never to enter a home on which a horseshoe was fixed. Witches fear horses, so they are also turned away by a door with a horseshoe mounted on it. The big issue regarding horseshoes is whether they should be hungpoints up or points down.The original superstition was that the horseshoe is points up to keep the luck from pouring out. Despite this view most buildings with horseshoes in their sign hang them the opposite way. The Horseshoe Casino in Las V egas hangs its horseshoe with the arc on top. They may be hoping their customers?luck runs out, but this is usually not something you advertise in your sign. Finger rings made of horseshoe nail are said to keep away bad luck. Also, robbing two horseshoes together is said to bring good luck.1.According to the passage, what does the crescent moon represent?2.What did St. Dunstan do to the Devil?3.What did the Devil promise?4.What is the big issue concerning the horseshoe?5.Why is the arc of the horseshoe up at the casino in Las V egas?Keys: 1.A 2.C 3.D 4.C5.BT ask 2: Superstitions or real bad lucks?ScriptJoan: Pass me that mirror, would you? I?ll see if my makeup is OK.Dick: OOOPS!! Sorry I dropped it…but is it you or me that gets the seven years of bad luck?Joan: Y ou, I hope, but probable neither of us. I wonder where that “old wives? tale”originated anyway.Dick: There used to be a lot of superstitions: black cats, ladders, numbers. My parent and grandparents are full of them.Joan: I agree. People today are much more educated than before. These superstitions are just amusing pieced of history rather than beliefs, don?t you think so? Dick: Perhaps, but some people today still go for them. People whose livelihoods depend more on luck—like professional athletes, or fishermen—often they have superstitious routines.Joan: It?s rue. I have heard of athletes who wear lucky socks or a treasured medal to bring them good fortune.Dick: And let?s not f orget lucky numbers. We all know about the number4,6, and 8 in China.Joan: I know 4 is death and 8 is wealth, but what is the significance of 6?Dick: 6 means good luck. Some people include 6 in their e-mail address just for luck. Joan: Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are.Dick: Well, there are many things in the universe that we cannot control, and that?s why people are superstitious.Keys: TTFFTT ask3: Career T ransitionsScriptThere was a king in Africa who has a close friend that he grew up with. The friend has a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”One day the king and his friend were out hunting. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!”to which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail.About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied him to a stake surrounded by wood. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king had but one thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So they set the king free.As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb off and felt badly sorry about his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “Y ou were right,”he said, “it was good for my thumb was blown off.” Then he apologized, “I?m very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”“What do you mean, …this is good?? How could it be good that I sent you, my good friend, to jail for all this time?”“If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.!”For Reference1.He had a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”2.After taking the gun, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.3.They set the king free, because being superstitious, they never ate anyone that wasless than whole4.He felt sorry for his friend and went to the jail to apologize to him.5. If he had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.News ReportEgyptian T ombsScriptArchaeologist have uncovered two tombs that date back more than 2,500 years in the part of Cairo where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood, according to Egyptian antiquity authorities.Although there is a modern suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo southeast of its ancient namesake, the original Heliopolis was known as a center of learning and academic study in ancient Mediterranean times.The 26-century-old tombs that date back to the years 664 to 625 BC were developed during a routine archaeological inspection of an empty plot of land in the Eins Shams district of northwestern Cairo. This district covers part of the ground that used to be the ancient city of Heliopolis.The owner of the land was seeking construction rights and by law, construction cannot begin without a permit certifying that the site has no historical significance.The first of the two limestone tombs to be opened contained a sarcophagus and sixteen statuettes, said the chief statearchaeologist for the Cairo-Giza area, Zahi Hawass.Hawass said in a statement that the tombs were found in a downtown residential area, three meters below the ground. [SOUND BITE]Hawass went on to give a more detailed account of the important find.[SOUND BITE]It appears that the tombs have not been raided by grave robbers, but they have been damaged by leaking sewage water. The first tomb to be uncovered belonged to a builder named Waja-Hur. His name was engraved on the statuettes, which the ancient Egyptians placed in tombs to answer questions for them in the afterlife.Te process of recovering these artifacts can be long and tedious, but the historical significance of these pieces makes the painstaking work worthwhile.[SOUND BITE]Egyptian archaeologists plan to open the second tomb on Sunday.。

W: Are those cigarettes yours? I thought you quit. If you go back to it, your teeth and fingers will be nicotine-stained; your breath and clothes will smell smoky.M: I didn't, I swear. Ads showing diseased lungs kept me from starting again. Believe me, I'll never again be a slave to smoking.Q: Why didn't the man go back to smoking?"M: What's that noise? It's really loud! Sounds like gunshots!W: It's the local ""youth"" throwing firecrackers. Don't go out. They're likely to throw one at you or put one through the letterbox if you bother them.Q: What may the young people do?"M: I wish I had left my wallet at home. But I'm sure I put it in my back pocket.W: Oh no, it's so easy for a pickpocket to take it from there. Y ou should put your money in your breast pocket.Q: What should the man do, according to the conversation?"M: I hate that subway station. Whenever you come out, you're always plagued by beggars.W: I know, but the kids really get to me. I can't help but feel sorry for them. They look so miserable.Q: What do the man and woman think about the young beggars?"M: The bank called me today; they wanted to know if I spent 3,000 dollars in a furniture shop this morning! Of course I didn't!W: Someone must've made a copy of your credit card. It's easily done. Y ou'll have to cancel it at once and get a new one. Hopefully, the bank will cover the damage.Q: What does the woman recommend the man to do?"How to Solve Unemployment ProblemsAlan: I have a meeting with my accountant tomorrow morning. She's preparing my income tax return, and I need to go over some of the receipts with her.Pamela: Income tax return! Don't you think the government just squanders our hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects?Alan: Sure, sometimes they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don't mind paying taxes. If I'm paying income tax, it means I'm earning money. I'd rather be earning money than living on charity.Pamela: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lower.Alan: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the situation is complex: sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.Pamela: Then they should take the needed training -- upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable.Alan: Training and upgrading cost money. Some government tax dollars are directed to programsthat help the poor get jobs.Pamela: But even when jobs are available, some of the unemployed don't want to work. They would rather have a handout.Alan: It's partly a matter of education. Some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent on charity.Pamela: I think the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would put more money into people's pockets, then they would spend more, and the spending would create more jobs for the poor.Alan: Many people would agree with you."Alan's accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts with her. Pamela complains that the government just squanders people's hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects . But Alan does not mind paying taxes , saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would be much lower . Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity , but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for . But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable . Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already directed to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs . When Pamela says some of the unemployed don't want to work, preferring to have handouts , Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate . That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.A Professional GamblerIn a bar a guy told the bartender, ""I'm a professional gambler; I've made lots of money from gambling.""The bartender answered, ""I can hardly believe it. Y our odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?"" ""Well, I only bet on sure things,"" said the guy.""Like what?"" asked the bartender.""Well, for example, I'll bet you fifty dollars that I can bite my right eye,"" he said.The bartender thought about it. ""Okay,"" he said.So, the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it. ""Ah, you screwed me,"" said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.""I'll give you another chance. I'll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,"" saidthe stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, ""Well, I can see you're not blind. I'll take that bet.""So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbled up to the bartender and said, ""Bartender, I'll give you one last chance. I'll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.""The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now. ""Okay, you're on,"" he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but not a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, ""Hey, pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!""The guy said, ""That's okay. I just bet the guys in the card room 1,000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but still make you laugh!""" 1. The bartender did not believe that the guy could make a lot of money out of gambling.Fighting T een SmokingThe percentage of teens who smoked cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Y outh Risk Behavior Survey. It's a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment may be the discovery of what works to influence teens' motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won't have much effect on teens who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don't start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, more than one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health leaders and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today's young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement." 1. Whatpercentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?Battling PovertyToday I'll be presenting a report on our findings on the condition of the world's population. It may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on less than two dollars a day, and one billion people live on less than one dollar a day.I'm going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issues. We must work fast if we hope to reduce poverty by half, by the year 2015.Our survey shows that the first step should be to improve health-care systems. In the world's poorest countries, people are expected to live just 49 years. One in ten children doesn't reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor health-care systems, especially pregnant women.The second job we have to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. We have found that when given a choice, poor people in developing countries have fewer children than their parents did. A possible reason for this is probably that smaller families have fewer expenses and more chance of increasing their earnings and savings. Since the 1970s, developing countries with lower birth rates have had faster economic growth. They have had higher productivity, more savings and more investment. Obviously we must encourage family planning and lower birth rates.Now, here is the third measure we must take: promote education in developing countries. Investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated women have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. Moreover, they tend to send their children to good schools so that they can climb the social ladder.Held Back Because I Speak SpanishI was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes -- classes of English as a Second Language. I was also put in the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got the highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes.When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to the school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESL classes, but the school fought very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why -- for every student the school had in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive $400. This was pretty devastating. The school's only excuse for keeping me there was because I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program until Iwas in the fifth grade.Then my parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced it. So I didn't have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too ""Spanish"" for them."Drinking, Gambling and GolfA man was walking in the city when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.The man took out his wallet , extracted two dollars and asked, ""If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?""""No, I stopped drinking years ago,"" the bum said.""Will you use it to gamble ?""""I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive .""""Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course ?""""Are you nuts ? I haven't played golf for 20 years!""The man said, ""Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars.Instead, I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.""The bum was surprised,Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.The man replied, ""That's OK.I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf."""Why buy lottery tickets?Charles: Did you hear? Next week's lottery will be 28 million dollars! Y ou got your ticket yet? Joan: I don't buy lottery tickets, and I don't gamble in other ways, either. Lottery tickets are just another way of taxing the poor.Charles: What do you mean by that?Joan: Many of the big spenders on lottery tickets are poor. They are spending money they can't afford to spend.Charles: I just buy lottery tickets for fun. Y ou know... the first prize is a huge amount, and if I won, it would be exciting.Joan: But you don't need the money to enjoy life, so for you it's a game. But when the poor buy lottery tickets, it is often out of desperation.Charles: If they can't afford it, they shouldn't buy the tickets.Joan: But the thrill of a win, of something for nothing, is also addictive, and many people are addicted to gambling.Charles: Y ou must be right. Casinos are opening everywhere, and many people go on gambling holidays -- you can even take a gambling cruise.Joan: Imagine being on an ocean cruise and spending all your time indoors bent over a card table or a roulette wheel.Charles: Maybe there should be some programs to help people overcome their gambling addictions, something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.Joan: There's indeed an online program that can help. But nobody can force gamblers to join it. They must first want to be cured themselves."Humanity is indivisibleKofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations:Peace must be sought above all because it is a condition for every member of the human family to live a life of dignity and security.We have entered the third millennium through a gate of fire. If today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better and we see farther, we will realize that humanity is indivisible.New threats make no distinction between races, nations, or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or status. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all, in pain and in prosperity, has gripped young and old... because beneath the surface of states and nations, ideas and language, lies the fate of individual human beings in need. Answering their needs will be the mission of the United Nations in the century to come. Thank you very much."。

do quite a few in-depth research projects.• She resisted the temptation to laugh.noun + verb• An opportunity arose for me to work in China, so I went and spent a year there.•People feel educational standards slipped when the government cut finances.noun + noun•James has been a team leader / member / player, and he is now able to enjoy the fruits of his hard work.•Their demanding work schedule means they have less time to devote to school assignments. adjective + noun•And they reported lower levels of commitment to school and more modest educational aspirations.•This is not an empty threat; I will call the police if this happens again!verb + adverb• She smiled proudly as she looked at the photos of her new grandson.•I don’t like to travel with my brother because he drives carelessly.adverb + verb• I fully understand that there will be serious problems when doing this project.•You may respectfully listen to their advice, but don’t take it too seriously.In this unit about working part-time while studying, we have come across quite a few useful grammatical collocations, mainly in the patterns of “adjective + noun” and “noun + noun”.Please take a look at the following list of collocations in this unit:Text Astudent achievement, school performance, school engagement, heavy commitment, academicyear, school achievement, school commitment, educational aspirations, school careers, working students, school assignments, non-working students Text Bhigher education, undergraduate student, wealthy students, educational performance, formal education, educational funding, educational benefits PART IIKEY TO EXERCISESSECTION A111) A teaching assistant in kindergarten or a tutor2) A cashier in a store3) A waiter in a restaurant4) A car cleaner2 • I would like to work as a teaching assistantin kindergarten. I really enjoy spending timewith small children and I am thinking ofworking as a teacher in kindergarten in thefuture. So working as a teaching assistantwould definitely be a great experience for me.• I would like to work in a company, whetherbig or small, because in the future I plan toestablish my own business. Working part-time in a company would give me some ideaof what it is like to work in a company, howa company is run, and what job a boss shoulddo.210 Third Edition2In my opinion, the most important advantages of doing part-time jobs are: gaining work experience, acquiring communicative skills, and building connections for future career. In doing part-time jobs, especially those jobs which are related to my field of study, I can build up my work experience and enrich my resume. Besides, in working, I may have to communicate with different kinds of people, soit can help develop my communicative skills, which are essential to success. And in getting to know some important people in the workplace, I can build some contacts for my future career.Understanding the text11To measure the impact of employment on student achievement.2According to the research, a heavy commitment to part-time work undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement andcommitment.3About 10 hours per week or less.4Students become interested in study again.5Students may take easier classes, copyothers’ assignments, cut class, or refuse todo assignments, and over time, students’commitment to school is eroded bit by bit.6Students may find school less rewarding and interesting, and it is highly possible that thosewho have been working long hours will dropout of school before graduation.7Because teenagers working long hours frequently have more money to spend than their peers,and they often become used to spending theirearnings on drugs and alcohol.8Doing part-time jobs while studying isacceptable, but students should work nomore than 10 hours a week if they want to besuccessful in school. Critical thinking21 • Yes, I think early employment can definitelybuild character because besides study,you have to fit yourself into the workingenvironment. You can learn interpersonalskills, social responsibility and professionalethics in a working setting. Moreover, youhave to try hard to strike a balance betweenwork, study, and play. In this way, you willdevelop a strong sense of responsibility andboost your self-confidence.• No, not necessarily. Though early employmentmay help students to gain some workexperience, it is not necessarily helpful inbuilding their character. Because they have tospend quite a lot of time working and maybecome less responsible or less committedto their study. Too much work may also leadto alcohol and drug abuse. So, in some cases,early employment undermines character-building rather than help it.2 • Yes, I agree. Students have so many academictasks to complete in college that they hardlyhave any extra time for work. If they work,they will certainly have to spend less time andenergy on study, which is likely to depresstheir school performance. I see many workingstudents around me sleep in class, skip class,or copy others’ assignments. If they cannotbe responsible students when they should be,how could they become responsible peopleafter graduation? So, I think students shouldtake study as their main task instead of doingpart-time jobs.• No, I don’t agree. College students shouldprepare themselves for future careers, so theyneed not only to perform well academicallybut also develop other skills becausesurviving in society requires more than bookknowledge. Working part-time can exposestudents to the real world and help themacquire basic interpersonal skills. Besides, byearning money to pay for their study, collegestudents can learn how to manage their211UNIT 6 Earn as you learn?money and become less dependent on theirparents.3 • Yes, I agree with the author that workingwhile studying has many negative impactson students, such as not getting enough rest,decreased school performance, abuse of drugsand alcohol. As one’s time and energy arelimited, working, even part-time, will affectone’s study. Therefore, students should takestudy seriously and it is critical not to worklong hours while studying at college.• No, I don’t think there are so many negativeimpacts of working while studying asmentioned by the author. I have manyclassmates who are working part-timeto cover their tuition. Most of them areresponsible students as they want to sharethe financial burden with their parents. Theyalso study very hard for scholarships. At thesame time, they try to make full use of theirworking time. Some of them work with theirprofessors in the lab, so their work does notinterfere with their study. In fact, workingmay benefit their study because they canapply what is learned in class in practice.4 • Yes, I think part-time jobs may help builda sense of responsibility, which in turn mayenhance students’ school performance.Because if you take part-time jobs whilestudying, you have to follow the work ethics,observe the working schedule, work up toexpectations, contribute to teamwork, andbalance work and study. All these will helpyou to multitask, to be more efficient, tocultivate a sense of responsibility, and toenhance your school performance.• No, I don’t think part-time jobs help to builda sense of responsibility, not to mentionenhancing students’ school performancebecause students who take part-time work,especially those who work long hours, haveto strike a balance between work and study.To meet the demanding working schedule,more often than not, they have to cut corners,for example, by devoting less time to studyor ignoring homework. Moreover, they mayspend more on entertainment and luxurygoods as they have more spending money.Students who work long hours usually fail tomeet the academic requirements and have noclear plan for career development.5Part-time employment provides a good opportunity for students to learn many otherthings other than book knowledge. It has many positive influences:• building a sense of responsibility as you haveto accomplish your tasks;• building self-discipline as you have to manageyour time well and rely on yourself;• gaining social skills and work experienceas you interact with people outside theclassroom;• broadening your vision as you learn about theworkplace and society;• having more employment opportunities asyou gain work experience in preparation foryour future career.Words in use31indicate 2conventional3assess 4decrease5alter 6has undermined7 compromise 8controversial9resolved 10 abandonWord building4form formationoccupation occupysolve solution(To be continued)212 Third Editionpersuade persuasion transmit transmission original originality flexibility flexible secure security simple simplicity prosperousprosperity51 solution2 transmission3 prosperity4 formation5 flexible6 occupied7 originality8 productivity9 simplicity10 persuasion 11 representation 12 securityBanked cloze61 J2 C3 H4 D5 M6 G7 I8 A9 E 10 NExpressions in use71 cutting back on2 interfere with3 take a toll on4 at risk of5 dropped out6 in turn7 contribute to 8 are accustomed to 9 held on to 10in other wordsStructure analysis8(Continued )213UNIT 6 Earn as you learn?Structured writing9There are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job applications or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired due to poor attendance. No boss likes an employee who is often late for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty getting along with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a good employee, it isimportant to be honest, punctual, and cooperative.10间隔年指的是学生休假不去上学而去旅游或工作等的一段时间，但不一定是一年。

My mom would never let me wear something like that.Girl 1: My mom’s cool. She lets me make my own decisions about clothes.Girl 2: Not my mom. She’d be mad if I came home in a skirt like that.Girl 1: Let’s both got one; then maybe your mom wouldn’t be so upset if we both wore the same skirt.Girl 2: Well…maybe.1.D2. The first girl(The girl who suggests wearing the short skirt.)Dialog 2Mother: Lily, where did you get that skirt? You can’t wear that. It’s much too short!

They deign trends and create new styles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That’s why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.1.

Then the clothes are copied and made up in largenumbers, for which one does not have to pay a high price.Other manufacturers use Paris styles simply as a starting pointfor their own ideas.Still others adapt only a part of the French designTask 3: Dreaming of Being a Fashion ModelTop fashion models travel all over the world, earn huge salaries and live exciting lives. If you want to be a model, you should know the basic rules. Girls are usually picked to be models when they are between 15 and 22 years old. Ideally, they are tall, long-legged, and thin. The minimum height is about 5’8”, and the average weight is 108-125 pounds. A few other important things for a fashion model are clear skin, healthy hair, straight teeth, and a well-shaped body. You’ll also need ambition, intelligence, confidence, independence, and will-power.If you’ve got the right looks but are worried over not being tall enough or fit enough, Kimi is the answer. Kimi is the magic key to developing your fashion model potential. Kimi is a computer-designed stimulator. It massages your feet to stimulate a part of your brain that produces more growth hormones. This will give you the fashion model kind of height. You should also go in for some sports like running or basketball. These increase the benefits of using Kimi.Make an important decision today. Order Kimi right now! Don’t you think having the hegith and shape of a fashion model would be wonderful? Yes, Kimi helps you realize your dream.1.D2.B3.A4.B5.CTop fashion models…..earning large salariesFuture models…..being at least 5’8” tallKimi…………..massaging one’s feetA part of the brain……producing growth hormones directlyCustomers…….buying KimiIV.

How about the blue one?B: No, I don’t like the color. Thanks.V. Let’s TalkThe MiniskirtMary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world’s attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didn’t make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legswould take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves.” She said. Eventually, Ms. Quant’s skirts, which arrived in the United States in the mid-60’s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant’s opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women’s liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.1.D2.D3.A4.C5.BVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Paying for the New ClothesDaughter: Mom, I need some new clothes. Everything I have is out of date. The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping?Mother:You have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition. Your father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there’re the books too.Daughter: But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis. And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school. They are so long. People will think I came formthe middle ages.Mother:But…Daughter: Maybe I could get a part-time job to help pay for the new clothes.Mother:No, you need to study. But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive.Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition. The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughter’s studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.Task 2: A Model’s Description of Her WorkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space.A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. You could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don’t keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So youwalk through conversations, unable to stop or react. You are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.1.T2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot BikiniShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was afraid that somebody would seeOne, two, three, four, tell people what she woreIt was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time today.An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stay.Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you moreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so a blanket around her she woreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so she sat bundled up on the shoreTwo, three, four, tell the people what she wore…SpeakingBuying an Expensive DressNancy: Your new low-cut dress is wonderful.Jill: Thank you, Nancy.

Lots of my friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you? What do you do to keep fit? M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 2 M1: Uh … I do quite a few things actually. Um, I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs. Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there quite a bit. I coach, actually coach rowing as well. W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do any extra organized exercise. W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques. M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week. And I also watch what I eat. W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature also. M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running. W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep1/ 18fit – going to the gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active. W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours doing foot patrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps me quite fit. Part 3 F: What other things would you like to do to keep fit? M1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport. Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey. W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the only sports that I’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV. M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle. W3: I would like to learn to rock climb. M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfortunately I don’t have time and it is a little bit expensive. W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing. W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like jive, 1940s jazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way of keeping fit, and you meet a lot of people. Part 4 F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------M1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet things. W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well. W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that –as much as I can, although it does happen quite regularly. W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it. W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early hours of the morning. W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink caffeine. M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also eat a lot of cake. Listening Scripts I = Interviewer; W = Woman I: Can you tell us a little about superfoods? W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach. I: Hmm. W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you. I: Right. W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future. I: Can you tell us why not? W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day. I: Um, right. W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week. I: I see. So what you’3/ 18re saying is … I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills. W: Yes. I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future? W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it. I: Right. W: But I don’t think food pills will replace normal food. I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons? W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’t the same. I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills? W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future. I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about … W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor. I: Can you give an example? W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ I: The same food that tastes different for different people … W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose. I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button. I: So how does it work? W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future. I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different a reas of science … Viewing Scripts B = Ronnie Barker; C = Ronnie Corbett B: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

It keeps me fit and healthy with regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three events? W: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it! I woke up at six a.m. every morning and then ran three miles. Now that I’m training for the triathlon I’m loving waking up at six a.m. and running again. M: Not me! Running is my worst event! I get bored when I run. I start daydreaming about other things and forget where I’m going! Two times last week I made a wrong turn and almost got lost! W: For me, it’s swimming. Swimming pools are fine –but triathlons … take place in lakes. And … I’m scared that a giant fish will eat me! M: What?! Come on!

Q1: Why did the woman decide to do a triathlon? Q2: When did the man first do a triathlon? Q3: How does the man feel about running? Q4: Why doesn’t the woman like swimming in the triathlon? Passage 1 Scripts Happiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day. Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier. Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success. Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most15/ 18exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health. Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, you are having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around. Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier? Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions? Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings? Q4: What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 2 Scripts and answers There are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the nu mber one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family.---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass.

Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet things.W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well.W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that – as much as I can, although it does happen quite regularly.W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it.W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early hours of the morning.W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink caffeine.M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also eat a lot of cake.ListeningScriptsI = Interviewer; W = WomanI: Can you tell us a little about superfoods?W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach.I: Hmm.W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you.I: Right.W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future.I: Can you tell us why not?W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day.I: Um, right.W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see. So what you’re saying is …I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills.W: Yes.I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future?W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it.I: Right.W: But I don’t think food pills will repla ce normal food.I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons?W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills?W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about …W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an example?W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that tastes di fferent for different people …W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it work?W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different areas of science …ViewingScriptsB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

You know he didn’t have money for a football so he used to practice kicking a grapefruit, or a sock stuffed with paper.A: How much do you walk a day?E: Oh my goodness. Well, I suppose.

So, I decided to give it a try.M: Good for you! I did my first triathlon back in college six years ago. Now, I do at least one triathlon every year. It keeps me fit and healthy with regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three events?W: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it! I woke up at six a.m. every morning and then ran three miles. Now that I’m training for the triathlon I’m loving waking up at six a.m. and running again.M: Not me! Running is my worst event! I get bored when I run. I start daydreaming about other things and forget where I’m going! Two times last week I made a wrong turn and almost got lost!W: For me, it’s swimming. Swimming pools are fine –but triathlons … take place in lakes. And … I’m scared that a giant fish will eat me!M: What?! Come on! There aren’t any giant people-eating fish in lakes and even the small fish will be scared away when hundreds of peoplefrom the triathlon are swimming there all at the same time!Q1: Why did the woman decide to do a triathlon?Q2: When did the man first do a triathlon?Q3: How does the man feel about running?Q4: Why doesn’t the woman like swimming in the triathlon?Passage 1ScriptsHappiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day.Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The mostexciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier?Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings?Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the nu mber one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family.Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise good health.Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5) intense activities right before or after gettinginto bed can interrupt sleep. Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room that’s too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be anobstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9) suffers from other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes your problem too! Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10) competitive, so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night. All these make sleeping at regular times difficult.。

U校园新视野大学英语1读写教程答案Unit 6 Earn as you learn?Section A6-2 Text A: To work or not to work u2013 That is the question Pre-reading activitiesPre-reading activities-11) A teaching assistant in kindergarten or a tutor2) A cashier in a store3) A waiter in a restaurant4) A car cleaner1) I would like to work as a teaching assistant in kindergarten. I really enjoy spending time with small children and I am thinking of working as a teacher in kindergarten in the future. So working as a teaching assistant would definitely be a great experience for me.I would like to work in a company, whether big or small, because in the future I plan to establish my own business. Working part-time in a company would give me some idea of what it is like to work in a company, how a company is run, and what job a boss should do.Reading comprehensionReading comprehension-11) To measure the impact of employment on student achievement.2) According to the research, a heavy commitment to part-time work undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement and commitment.3) About 10 hours per week or less.4) Students become interested in study again.5) Students may take easier classes, copy others' assignments, cut class, or refuse to do assignments, and over time, students' commitment to school is eroded bit by bit.6) Students may find school less rewarding and interesting, and it is highly possible that those who have been working long hours will drop out of school before graduation.7) Because teenagers working long hours frequently have more money to spend than their peers, and they often become used to spending their earnings on drugs and alcohol.8) Doing part-time jobs while studying is acceptable, but students should work no more than 10 hours a week if they want to be successful in school.Reading comprehension-21) Yes, I think early employment can definitely build character because besides study, you have to fit yourself into the workingenvironment. You can learn interpersonal skills, social responsibility and professional ethics in a working setting. Moreover, you have to try hard to strike a balance between work, study, and play. In this way, you will develop a strong sense of responsibility and boost your self-confidence.No, not necessarily. Though early employment may help students to gain some work experience, it is not necessarily helpful in building their character. Because they have to spend quite a lot of time working and may become less responsible or less committed to their study. Too much work may also lead to alcohol and drug abuse. So, in some cases, early employment undermines character-building rather than help it.2) Yes, I agree. Students have so many academic tasks to complete in college that they hardly have any extra time for work. If they work, they will certainly have to spend less time and energy on study, which is likely to depress their school performance. I see many working students around me sleep in class, skip class, or copy others' assignments. If they cannot be responsible students when they should be, how could they become responsible people after graduation? So, I think students should take study as their main task instead of doing part-time jobs.No, I don't agree. College students should prepare themselves for future careers, so they need not only to perform well academically but also develop other skills because surviving in society requires more than book knowledge. Working part-time can expose students to the real world and help them acquire basic interpersonal skills. Besides, by earning money to pay for their study, college students can learn how to manage their money and become less dependent on their parents.3) Yes, I agree with the author that working while studying has many negative impacts on students, such as not getting enough rest, decreased school performance, abuse of drugs and alcohol. As one's time and energy are limited, working, even part-time, will affect one's study. Therefore, students should take study seriously and it is critical not to work long hours while studying at college.No, I don't think there are so many negative impacts of working while studying as mentioned by the author. I have many classmates who are working part-time to cover their tuition. Most of them are responsible students as they want to share the financial burden with their parents. They also study very hard for scholarships. At the same time, they try to make full use of their working time. Some of them work with theirprofessors in the lab, so their work does not interfere with their study. In fact, working may benefit their study because they can apply what is learned in class in practice.4) Yes, I think part-time jobs may help build a sense of responsibility, which in turn may enhance students' school performance. Because if you take part-time jobs while studying, you have to follow the work ethics, observe the working schedule, work up to expectations, contribute to teamwork, and balance work and study. All these will help you to multitask, to be more efficient, to cultivate a sense of responsibility, and to enhance your school performance.No, I don't think part-time jobs help to build a sense of responsibility, not to mention enhancing students' school performance because students who take part-time work, especially those who work long hours, have to strike a balance between work and study. To meet the demanding working schedule, more often than not, they have to cut corners, for example, by devoting less time to study or ignoring homework. Moreover, they may spend more on entertainment and luxury goods as they have more spending money. Students who work long hours usually fail to meet the academic requirements and have no clear plan for career development.5) Part-time employment provides a good opportunity for students to learn many other things other than book knowledge. It has many positive influences:building a sense of responsibility as you have to accomplish your tasks;building self-discipline as you have to manage your time well and rely on yourself;gaining social skills and work experience as you interact with people outside the classroom;broadening your vision as you learn about the workplace and society;having more employment opportunities as you gain work experience in preparation for your future career.6-3 Text A: Language focusWords in use1. indicate2. conventional3. assess4. decrease5. alter6. had undermined7. compromise8. controversial9. resolved10. abandonWord buliding: Practice Word buliding: Practice-11) representation2) formation3) occupy4) solution5) persuasion6) transmission7) productivity8) originality9) flexible10) security11) simplicity12) prosperityWord buliding: Practice-21. solution2. transmission3. prosperity4. formation5. flexible6. occupied7. originality8. productivity9. simplicity10. persuasion11. representation12. security Banked cloze1) generate2) interfering3) schedules4) burning5) consistent6) opportunity7) decrease8) withdraw9) compromising10) flexible Expressions in use1. cutting back on2. interfere with3. take a toll on4. at risk of5. dropped out6. in turn7. contribute to8. are accustomed to9. held on to10. in other words6-4 Structure analysis & writing Structure analysis: Practice1) work late until midnight2) less rest3) less healthy4) rewarding5) interesting6) earn and spend money7) drop out of school8) drugs9) alcohol more often10) drugs11) alcohol12) disengagement13) depressStructured writing: Practice参考：There are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job applications or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired due to poor attendance. No boss likes an employee who is often late for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty getting along with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a good employee, it is important to be honest, punctual, and cooperative.6-5 TranslationTranslationTranslation-1参考：间隔年指的是学生休假不去上学而去旅游或工作等的一段时间，但不一定是一年。

II. Listening SkillsListening to People Talk About Health1.M: I haven’t been to see my doctor for a very long time. I’m worried that he’ll be angry with me for not havinga physical examination for so long.W: Which is more important, the doctor’s feelings or your health? You’d better go if you want to make sure everything is all right with you.It seems that the man worries more about the doctor’s feelings than his own health.2.W: Oh, I’ve got a cold. I’m not used to the cold weather, and it often gets the best of me. What I need now issome good medicine.M: The best medicine is to keep healthy. I promise you that if you get involved with some sort of physical exercise, you’ll get sick a lot less. Why don’t you try joining a gym?The woman catches cold easily and believes in taking some good medicine, but the man thinks physical exercise is more important.3.W: Exams are coming up soon. I’ve been so busy with schoolwork that I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping.M: School is important, but so is your health. Maybe you should talk to a doctor. Doctors see people all the time for this very problem. They can help you.The woman has been so busy with schoolwork that she has had difficulty sleeping. The man believes that health is important that she should see a doctor.4. M: Do you mind if I have a cigarette before we eat?W: Well, actually, I do. If you don’t mind, could you smoke outside? If you want to poison your body and shorten your life, that’s your business. But as for me, I want to live long and healthy.The woman asks the man to smoke outside because she wants to live long and healthy. She believes second-hand smoke causes cancer too.5. W: Robert, when we last talked, you promised there would be less television and junk food, and more exercise in your life.But now you’re becoming quite overweight.M: I know it’s bad, but I really like watching TV. After all we should enjoy ourselves while we are young.W: But you’re risking your health watching TV so much.M: Oh, yes: heart trouble, high blood pressure. But I’d rather die than give up TV.The man once promised he would watch TV less, eat less junk food and have more exercise. But he believes it is more important to enjoy himself, although the woman says he’s risking his health watching TV so much.III. Listening InTask 1: DietsIf you’re a young lady in your twenties, you may be either on a diet or wondering which diet to follow. Indeed, people are so concerned with their appearance that the word “diet”has lost its original meaning. It now has the same meaning as “weight loss diet”. There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure. Them came Twiggy, a British supermodel most famous in the 1960s, and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig. Because of this trend, many diets have become popular. It is not uncommon to meet young girls who look weak enough to be blown away in the wind, yet they are still talking about diets! However, extreme diets can lead to health problems. Many such dieters may end up with very serious disorders. Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite; Karen Carpenter, a popular singer of the 1970s, died of the less of appetite. You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at he risk of your health and life. Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good.1.A2.C3.B4.B5.CTask 2: Culture Shock(D=Doctor; S=Student)D: Hello, I’m Dr. Black. How’re you feeling?S: I’m not feeling well, doctor.D: What seems to be the problem?S: I don’t know. I just feel tired all the time. I want to sleep all day. I’m not interested in studying or being with people.D: How long had this been going on?S: Almost one month now.D: Are there any other symptoms?S: I’m just tired.D: Do you have many friends?S: I don’t really have many here. I’m an international student.D: I imagine that many things about your life here are different from your home.S: Yeah, my life’s changed a lot. Foods, customs, socializing…even body language and gestures are all different from those in my own country.D: How long have you lived here?S: Almost three months now. It seems much linger; it’s a struggle for me to get used to the new way of life here.D: Hmm. Well, let’s check you over. (a few minutes later) Well, I don’t see anything physically wrong with you. Your heart is strong. Lungs are clear. Your blood pressure is normal.S: Then what do you think is wrong with me, doctor?D:Your problem seems to be culture shock. Sometimes when people move to a new location, especially a new country, they experience culture shock. Sometimes this culture shock can be serious, and people become very depressed. I suggest that you try to spend some time each week with people from your own culture.S: But my teachers tell me to speak English all the time.D: I understand, but right now we need to deal with your symptoms. Follow my advice, and you’ll feel better.S: How long does this last?D: Culture shock lasts for a while and then begins to disappear. The length of time varies from person to person. If you aren’t feeling better in two or three weeks, please call me again.1.The student feels tired all the time, wants to sleep all day, and is not interested in studying or being with people.2.Many things in the student’s life have changed, such as foods, customs, socializing, and even body language and gestures.3.Because the student’s heart, and blood pressure are all normal.4.Sometimes when people move to a new location, especially a new country, they experience culture shock.5.The doctor suggests that the student try to spend some time each week with people from her own culture.Task 3: The FluThere’s nothing gradual about the flu: it hits you like a hammer. One minute you’re feeling fine, and the next you can be shivering, burning up, and then shivering again. In minutes, your legs become weak and your body aches in places that have never hurt before. Influenza can break out so suddenly that people can sometimes say, “It hit me at exactly 9 last night.” But whether the flu strikes at night or on the bus to school, there’s just one thing a victim wants to do: lie down in bed. A healthy person can fight off the flu in three to five days, though a cough and tired feeling can last two more weeks. But often an attack of the flu is followed by another illness. Doctors recommend that old people, or people of nay age with heart or lung problems, get a flu vaccine every year. Because flu viruses change all the time, a new vaccine must be prepared each year to protect against future attacks.The flu is such an infections illness that it can hit you any time and anywhere. One minute you can be feeling fine, and the next you can be shivering, burning up, and then shivering again. Soon your legs become weak and your body begins to ache. Once the flu hits you, you just want to lie down in bed. Usually, it lasts three to five days, buy is often followed by another illness. If you’re old or have heart or lung problems, you’d better get a flu vaccine every year so as to protect against it.Task 4: An AnnouncementReceptionist: Good morning. Dr. Black’s office.Student: Hello, this is Albert Shaw. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Black for a checkup. Would 9:30 be all right?Receptionist: Let’s see. He doesn’t have any openings in the morning. But there’s a cancellation in the afternoon at 3o’clock.Student: Hmmm, how about 3:30? I’ll have a class until 3:15.Receptionist: OK, let’s make it 3:30 the day after tomorrow. That’s Thursday.IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnJames: Hello, Nicky! Are you feeling better today?Nicole: Well, the fever is gone, but I’m still feeling weak. You know, I can’t take it easy any longer.

I’m following the doctors orders, but I hate taking pills. You can’t be sure about the side effects. James: I know what you mean. Some medicines are not safe.Nicole: You could say that again.Model 2 Is it serious, doctor?Now Your TurnDoctor: Well, John, your blood pressure is a bit high. Is there a history of that in your family?John:Is it serious, doctor? My grandpa died of a Stroke.Doctor:Your condition is not that bad. But you have to take care. More rest, less work.John: Do I have to drop some classes? The trouble is that my class schedule is so tight this semester.Doctor:Take it easy.

Here you are!VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Medical Services on CampusWhile every university in America has its own policies and creates its own rules, most provide some type of medical service or health insurance for students, especially large universities. If students have a cold, or other illnesses, they can see a doctor, and they may also seek medical advice on a range of issues. Free testing for STDs such as HIV is a major part of disease prevention—sharing important information about the epidemic. If students need a major operation or procedure, they must seek outside assistance, but the school may help them make the arrangements. Smaller universities and colleges are not likely to provide in-depth medical assistance; they usually deal with small problems in housing, and assist students to take care of major issues off campus. No medical services are offered in universities and colleges that do not have students living on campus.1. medical service health insurance2. medical advice3. operation outside make the arrangements4. medical assistance housing off campus5. living on campusTask 2: An Expensive TreatmentSteven had a temperature of 100. His head was stuffed; his bones ached and his throat was sore. He knew he had the flu. All his roommates had been sick with it. He had used up all the special creams and herbs that his mother had carefully packed and put in his suitcase, saying, “Just in case you get sick.” After three days of lying in bed, feeling miserable, Steven decided to go to the doctor. He described all his symptoms and was sure the doctor would give him a shot that would make him feel much better. Instead, the doctor told him to get plenty of rest and to drink lots of liquids. She gave him a prescription to fill and said in two or three days he would be feeling better. Ashe left, the receptionist told him his visit would cost $50. Steven paid the money in cash and left the doctor’s office feeling very angry1. F2.T3.F4.F5.TTask 3: Doctor’s AdviceOnce an old gentleman went to see a doctor. The doctor examined him and said, “Medicine won’t help you.” You must have a complete rest. Go to a quiet country place for a month, go to bed early, drink milk, walk a lot, and smoke just one cigar a day.”“Thank you very much,” said the old gentleman, “I shall do everything you say.”A month later, the gentleman came to the doctor again, “How do you do!” said the doctor, “I am very glad to see you. You look much younger.”“Oh, doctor,” said the gentleman, “I feel quite well now. I had a good rest. I went to bed early. I drank a lot of milk.I walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you told me to smoke one cigar a day, and that one cigar almost killed me at first. It’s no joke to start smoking at j\my age.”1.D2.B3.A4.B5.D。

do quite a few in-depth research projects.• She resisted the temptation to laugh.noun + verb• An opportunity arose for me to work in China, so I went and spent a year there.•People feel educational standards slipped when the government cut finances.noun + noun•James has been a team leader / member / player, and he is now able to enjoy the fruits of his hard work.•Their demanding work schedule means they have less time to devote to school assignments. adjective + noun•And they reported lower levels of commitment to school and more modest educational aspirations.•This is not an empty threat; I will call the police if this happens again!verb + adverb• She smiled proudly as she looked at the photos of her new grandson.•I don’t like to travel with my brother because he drives carelessly.adverb + verb• I fully understand that there will be serious problems when doing this project.•You may respectfully listen to their advice, but don’t take it too seriously.In this unit about working part-time while studying, we have come across quite a few useful grammatical collocations, mainly in the patterns of “adjective + noun” and “noun + noun”.Please take a look at the following list of collocations in this unit:Text Astudent achievement, school performance, school engagement, heavy commitment, academicyear, school achievement, school commitment, educational aspirations, school careers, working students, school assignments, non-working students Text Bhigher education, undergraduate student, wealthy students, educational performance, formal education, educational funding, educational benefits PART IIKEY TO EXERCISESSECTION A111) A teaching assistant in kindergarten or a tutor2) A cashier in a store3) A waiter in a restaurant4) A car cleaner2 • I would like to work as a teaching assistantin kindergarten. I really enjoy spending timewith small children and I am thinking ofworking as a teacher in kindergarten in thefuture. So working as a teaching assistantwould definitely be a great experience for me.• I would like to work in a company, whetherbig or small, because in the future I plan toestablish my own business. Working part-time in a company would give me some ideaof what it is like to work in a company, howa company is run, and what job a boss shoulddo.210 Third Edition2In my opinion, the most important advantages of doing part-time jobs are: gaining work experience, acquiring communicative skills, and building connections for future career. In doing part-time jobs, especially those jobs which are related to my field of study, I can build up my work experience and enrich my resume. Besides, in working, I may have to communicate with different kinds of people, soit can help develop my communicative skills, which are essential to success. And in getting to know some important people in the workplace, I can build some contacts for my future career.Understanding the text11To measure the impact of employment on student achievement.2According to the research, a heavy commitment to part-time work undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement andcommitment.3About 10 hours per week or less.4Students become interested in study again.5Students may take easier classes, copyothers’ assignments, cut class, or refuse todo assignments, and over time, students’commitment to school is eroded bit by bit.6Students may find school less rewarding and interesting, and it is highly possible that thosewho have been working long hours will dropout of school before graduation.7Because teenagers working long hours frequently have more money to spend than their peers,and they often become used to spending theirearnings on drugs and alcohol.8Doing part-time jobs while studying isacceptable, but students should work nomore than 10 hours a week if they want to besuccessful in school. Critical thinking21 • Yes, I think early employment can definitelybuild character because besides study,you have to fit yourself into the workingenvironment. You can learn interpersonalskills, social responsibility and professionalethics in a working setting. Moreover, youhave to try hard to strike a balance betweenwork, study, and play. In this way, you willdevelop a strong sense of responsibility andboost your self-confidence.• No, not necessarily. Though early employmentmay help students to gain some workexperience, it is not necessarily helpful inbuilding their character. Because they have tospend quite a lot of time working and maybecome less responsible or less committedto their study. Too much work may also leadto alcohol and drug abuse. So, in some cases,early employment undermines character-building rather than help it.2 • Yes, I agree. Students have so many academictasks to complete in college that they hardlyhave any extra time for work. If they work,they will certainly have to spend less time andenergy on study, which is likely to depresstheir school performance. I see many workingstudents around me sleep in class, skip class,or copy others’ assignments. If they cannotbe responsible students when they should be,how could they become responsible peopleafter graduation? So, I think students shouldtake study as their main task instead of doingpart-time jobs.• No, I don’t agree. College students shouldprepare themselves for future careers, so theyneed not only to perform well academicallybut also develop other skills becausesurviving in society requires more than bookknowledge. Working part-time can exposestudents to the real world and help themacquire basic interpersonal skills. Besides, byearning money to pay for their study, collegestudents can learn how to manage their211UNIT 6 Earn as you learn?money and become less dependent on theirparents.3 • Yes, I agree with the author that workingwhile studying has many negative impactson students, such as not getting enough rest,decreased school performance, abuse of drugsand alcohol. As one’s time and energy arelimited, working, even part-time, will affectone’s study. Therefore, students should takestudy seriously and it is critical not to worklong hours while studying at college.• No, I don’t think there are so many negativeimpacts of working while studying asmentioned by the author. I have manyclassmates who are working part-timeto cover their tuition. Most of them areresponsible students as they want to sharethe financial burden with their parents. Theyalso study very hard for scholarships. At thesame time, they try to make full use of theirworking time. Some of them work with theirprofessors in the lab, so their work does notinterfere with their study. In fact, workingmay benefit their study because they canapply what is learned in class in practice.4 • Yes, I think part-time jobs may help builda sense of responsibility, which in turn mayenhance students’ school performance.Because if you take part-time jobs whilestudying, you have to follow the work ethics,observe the working schedule, work up toexpectations, contribute to teamwork, andbalance work and study. All these will helpyou to multitask, to be more efficient, tocultivate a sense of responsibility, and toenhance your school performance.• No, I don’t think part-time jobs help to builda sense of responsibility, not to mentionenhancing students’ school performancebecause students who take part-time work,especially those who work long hours, haveto strike a balance between work and study.To meet the demanding working schedule,more often than not, they have to cut corners,for example, by devoting less time to studyor ignoring homework. Moreover, they mayspend more on entertainment and luxurygoods as they have more spending money.Students who work long hours usually fail tomeet the academic requirements and have noclear plan for career development.5Part-time employment provides a good opportunity for students to learn many otherthings other than book knowledge. It has many positive influences:• building a sense of responsibility as you haveto accomplish your tasks;• building self-discipline as you have to manageyour time well and rely on yourself;• gaining social skills and work experienceas you interact with people outside theclassroom;• broadening your vision as you learn about theworkplace and society;• having more employment opportunities asyou gain work experience in preparation foryour future career.Words in use31indicate 2conventional3assess 4decrease5alter 6has undermined7 compromise 8controversial9resolved 10 abandonWord building4form formationoccupation occupysolve solution(To be continued)212 Third Editionpersuade persuasion transmit transmission original originality flexibility flexible secure security simple simplicity prosperousprosperity51 solution2 transmission3 prosperity4 formation5 flexible6 occupied7 originality8 productivity9 simplicity10 persuasion 11 representation 12 securityBanked cloze61 J2 C3 H4 D5 M6 G7 I8 A9 E 10 NExpressions in use71 cutting back on2 interfere with3 take a toll on4 at risk of5 dropped out6 in turn7 contribute to 8 are accustomed to 9 held on to 10in other wordsStructure analysis8(Continued )213UNIT 6 Earn as you learn?Structured writing9There are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs.

D: I imagine that many things about your life here are different from your home.
S: Yeah, my life’s changed a lot. Foods, customs, socializing…even body language and gestures are all different from those in my own country.
The woman catches cold easily and believes in taking some good medicine, but the man thinks physical exercise is more important.
3. W: Exams are coming up soon. I’ve been so busy with schoolwork that I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping.
III. Listening In
Task 1: Diets
If you’re a young lady in your twenties, you may be either on a diet or wondering which diet to follow. Indeed, people are so concerned with their appearance that the word “diet” has lost its original meaning. It now has the same meaning as “weight loss diet”. There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure. Them came Twiggy, a British supermodel most famous in the 1960s, and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig. Because of this trend, many diets have become popular. It is not uncommon to meet young girls who look weak enough to be blown away in the wind, yet they are still talking about diets! However, extreme diets can lead to health problems. Many such dieters may end up with very serious disorders. Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite; Karen Carpenter, a popular singer of the 1970s, died of the less of appetite. You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at he risk of your health and life. Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good.
S: Then what do you think is wrong with me, doctor?
D: Your problem seems to be culture shock. Sometimes when people move to a new location, especially a new country, they experience culture shock. Sometimes this culture shock can be serious, and people become very depressed. I suggest that you try to spend some time each week with people from your own culture.
4. M: Do you mind if I have a cigarette before we eat?
W: Well, actually, I do. If you don’t mind, could you smoke outside? If you want to poison your body and shorten your life, that’s your business. But as for me, I want to live long and healthy.
The woman asks the man to smoke outside because she wants to live long and healthy. She believes second-hand smoke causes cancer too.
5. W: Robert, when we last talked, you promised there would be less television and junk food, and more exercise in your life. But now you’re becoming quite overweight.
D: How long had this been
D: Are there any other symptoms?
S: I’m just tired.
D: Do you have many friends?
S: I don’t really have many here. I’m an international student.
D: What seems to be the problem?
S: I don’t know. I just feel tired all the time. I want to sleep all day. I’m not interested in studying or being with people.
M: School is important, but so is your health. Maybe you should talk to a doctor. Doctors see people all the time for this very problem. They can help you.
1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 5.C
Task 2: Culture Shock
(D=Doctor; S=Student)
D: Hello, I’m Dr. Black. How’re you feeling?
S: I’m not feeling well, doctor.
S: But my teachers tell me to speak English all the time.
D: I understand, but right now we need to deal with your symptoms. Follow my advice, and you’ll feel better.
D: How long have you lived here?
S: Almost three months now. It seems much linger; it’s a struggle for me to get used to the new way of life here.
D: Hmm. Well, let’s check you over. (a few minutes later) Well, I don’t see anything physically wrong with you. Your heart is strong. Lungs are clear. Your blood pressure is normal.
M: I know it’s bad, but I really like watching TV. After all we should enjoy ourselves while we are young.
W: But you’re risking your health watching TV so much.
M: Oh, yes: heart trouble, high blood pressure. But I’d rather die than give up TV.
The man once promised he would watch TV less, eat less junk food and have more exercise. But he believes it is more important to enjoy himself, although the woman says he’s risking his health watching TV so much.
