The truth, as always, is somewhere in between.It's true that money (or the lack of it) can have (33)devast at i ngeffects. People who findthemselves in (34)abj ectpoverty are all too aware of the pain that money can cause.It's also true that money can easily lead to uncontrollable (35)gr eedamong peoplewho simply can't get enough.

There have always been and will always be people who lie, cheat, or steal to get what they want. Dishonesty has many faces. Some of them are obvious, and some are more clandestine. Producing counterfeit products—products that are not the genuine article—is one of the more widespread forms of dishonesty. The practice affects almost every industry in every country of the world.Official currency is not immune to this problem. Indeed, counterfeit banknotes have been a problem for nearly as long as people have used money. Many governments (who print and regulate national currencies) have fought back by creating banknotes that are incredibly difficult to copy. High-tech security features are embedded within the money to identify the note as legal and genuine. Modern banknotes are not merely slips of paper; they are essentially sophisticated pieces of technology!In most countries of the world, the printing and issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by thegovernment or a government-owned bank. In the United Kingdom, however, there are seven retail banks, in addition to the central Bank of England, that are authorized to print their own banknotes. These seven banks are located in, and print currency unique to, Scotland and Northern Ireland.Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom, and it primarily serves England and Wales. For nearly 300 years, the Bank of England has been issuing banknotes, and for nearly 300 years, counterfeit notes have been a problem. In response to this ongoing threat, the following security features have been developed.•Banknotes are printed on special paper that is highly durable and has a unique feel.•Raised lettering is used throughout the notes, particularly on the words Bank of England.• A metallic thread weaves through every note. It looks like a broken line across the note, but if you hold it up to the light, it appears as a continuous dark line.•There is a watermark of the Queen that is visible when held up to the light.•Every note has a 3D hologram design that alternates between the value of the note and an image of Britannia.•If the note is placed under an ultra-violet light, the number (5, 10, 20, or 50. will appear as bright red and green.•Microlettering beneath the Queen's portrait is only visible with a magnifying glass.The Bank of England prints notes in denominations of £5, £10, £20, and £50. The above security features are common to all four values. £20 and £50 banknotes have additional features that make them even more difficult to counterfeit.Unfortunately, counterfeit bills aren't going away anytime soon. That's why it's important to be educated. Sometimes, a counterfeit bill isn't noticed right away, and it may enter circulation. If the bill ends up in your wallet, you might be held responsible if you try to use it. Even if you don't find trouble with the law, you will almost certainly lose that money. It's critical that you check the bills you receive from the bank and as change when you go shopping. You don't want to get caught with counterfeit money!41. The main purpose of this article is to give information about _____.A. the differences among world currenciesB. the history of the Bank of EnglandC. how to identify fake moneyD. dishonesty in everyday life42. Based on this passage, which of the following can you infer to be true?A. The problem of counterfeit money is going away.B. United States currency has modern security features to prevent counterfeiting.C. Banknotes in denominations greater than £50 have more advanced securityD. Most security features are fairly easy to replicate with inexpensive technology.43. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. argumentativeC. narrativeD. descriptive44. With which of the following statements would the author of this passage likely agree?A. Security features should be used on banknotes very sparingly.B. The Bank of England unwisely spent an exorbitant amount of money to institute newC. Modern security features have garnered a lot of good publicity for the Bank ofD. It's unrealistic to think that counterfeit money will disappear anytime soon.45. All of the following are mentioned as security features of British money EXCEPT _______.A. paper that is very difficult to tearB. an embedded magnetic strip。

(7段缺部分)No wonder so many Western workers worry about losing their jobs. "If the issue(问题) is the size of the total pie, globalization has proved(证明) a good thing," says Orit Gadiesh, chairman of consultants(顾问) Bain & Co. "If the issue is how the pie is divided, if you're in the Western world you could question that."
Although Browder and Mandl define(定义) their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident(意外) of birth. And not incidentally(偶然), both are Davos Men members of the international business élite(杰出人物) who trek(艰苦跋涉) each year to the Swiss Alpine(阿尔卑斯山) town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives(高管们), politicians, academics(学者), journalists(新闻记者), writers and a handful of(少数) Hollywood stars for five days of networking(交流), parties and endless earnest(认真的) discussions about everything from postelection Iraq(选后伊拉克) and HIV in Africa(艾滋病在非洲) to the global supply(供给) of oil and the implications of nanotechnology(纳米技术的含义). Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization the unimpeded(畅通无阻的) flows of capital(资本流动), labor(劳动力) and technology across national borders(边界) is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast(广阔的), interconnected(连同的) marketplace(市场) in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.

Write a description of peopleLesson 1Lead-inTV Documentary: Selling Them ShortA. The report mentions some problems short men face. What are they?buying clothes, getting a date, seeing around people in elevators, seeing a movie screen, driving carsB. Use words from the box to complete the statement. You will not use all of the words.1. mature and respected2. submissive, childish, weakVideo ScriptLynn Sherr: Imagine a world where nothing fits. Where pants are too long.Craig: The crotches are down to here, the seat’s down to here, the pants are up to there.Lynn Sherr: Where elevators are filled with giants.Rob: You kind of get cramped. And you know, it’s kind of hard to breathe sometimes.Lynn Sherr: Where driving a car means your feet don’t reach the pedals.David: You have to fumble down here, and some have bars underneath and some have these little electronic things on the side you have to figure out.Lynn Sherr: And where you can’t see the movie screen, let alone find a date to there.lst woman: I don’t care hair color, eye color, skin color-they need to be tall. Sorry.Lynn Sherr: Welcome to the world of short men. Ralph Keyes, 5’7”, wrote a book about height.Ralph Keyes: We just assume anybody we’re looking up to has power…has power over us.Lynn Sherr: We put Chris and Debbie, colleagues here at ABC News, in front of our camera, posing at different heights. Half the shots showed Chris as the tallerof the pair.Chris: The air’s kind of thin up here.Lynn Sherr: In the other half, Debbie was taller. Then we gave the photos to students at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and asked them to tell us a story about whatwas going on. When Chris was taller, the adjectives used to describe himwere mature and respected. When Chris was shorter than Debbie, theycalled him submissive, childish, weak. Andrea McGinty, who runs a datingservice in Chicago, knows all the tricks. We asked her to help us constructan experiment to test just how willing women are to date shorter men. Andwe found three brave volunteers. Stu is the shortest. How tall are you?Stu: I’m 5 foot. And 5’5” with the Afro.Lynn Sherr: Rob is 5’3”. He prefers taller women.Rob: I kind of enjoy it. I mean, I think there are some serious advantages to being a little bit, having a woman who’s a little bit taller.Lynn Sherr: David is getting married this fall.David: She is 5 feet tall.Lynn Sherr: And you are?David: I am 5’6”.Lynn Sherr: Oh, well.David: Giant, right.Lynn Sherr: We recruited other men about the same age as David, Stu, and Rob, but taller.We asked them all to dress in jeans and a sweater, then we did somethingcruel. We put them in lineups, five at a time, behind a two-way mirror. Themen couldn’t see or hear what was going on in the next room. That’s wherewe invited groups of women to look at the men and choose a date. In thiscase, we wanted to see if anyone would pick 5’3” Rob. When Andrea told uswomen like doctors, we gave him an M.D. Their choice?2nd woman: Anderw.3rd woman: I would say, Matt.Lynn Sherr: No, Rob. We piled on some more assets. We said, besides being a doctor, he was also a best–selling author and champion skier who just built his own skihouse.Andrea McGinty: Does that affect your choices?4th woman: He’s still short.Lynn Sherr: Then we gave Rob a promotion. We made him chief of at a prestigious hospital.Andrea McGinty: Who would you pick, Kim?5th woman: Andrew’s probably the closest to who I’d pick.6th woman: I’d pick Matt.7th woman: Jeffrey, the pilot.Lynn Sherr: What would it take? Now, we said Rob was also a gourmet cook who loves children.8th woman: Oh, definitely I would take him in a minute, then. Height, no problem.7th woman: I wouldn’t, because I would think I don’t want short, little kids. I was thinking that!Lynn Sherr: Well, at least someone liked Rob. But if it was this harsh for him at 5’3”, what would it take to get a date for Stu at just 5 feet?ListeningPart 1A. Sound BitesRead and listen to a conversation between a couple about dressing up and dressing down.Teaching Suggestions●Have students look only at the photos. Ask:What’s the man wearing in the first photo? (a suit and tie)What’s he wearing in the second one?

(the first) Why?Why is he underdressed in the second photo?●In pairs, have students tell the story of what happened in the conversation using thewords in the box.●Circulate to offer help with the new words as needed.●To review, have a volunteer tell the story to the class.Part 2Evaluate Ways to C hange One’s AppearanceA. Listening ComprehensionListen to Part 1 of a radio program about men’s hairstyles. Then read the statements and listen again. Complete the statements, according to the information in the program.1. a2. b3. aScript T44Part 1 [C = Chuck Sims, host; S = Susan Yiga1, Australia]C: Chuck Sims here, and you’re listening to In Style. T oday we welcome Susan Yiga1, a hairstylist who does a lot of work for the film industry. Susan has won numerous awards for her beautiful work.S: Oh, thanks.C: Susan, I love your work. So many movies. So many gorgeous actors.S: Thank you, Chuck. Great to be here.C: Susan is an expert on the history of hairstyles, and today we’re going to focus on men’s hairstyles. Susan, tell us something about how men’s hairstyles changed in the twentieth century.S: Absolutely. But before I do, let’s not forget some of the styles that were in fashion before the twentieth century. Remember that back in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, among the European upper classes, the wig was a fashion must. Everyone wore one.C: Think wigs will ever come back?S: These days, you never know. Do you know why they became so fashionable?C: Not really.S: Well, you see, in the seventeenth century, King Louis XIV of France was going bald –so he had a staff of about forty wig makers working on long curly wigs for him to wear. C: Forty wig makers!S: Yes. And of course it then became the rage for all men to wear long curly wigs – until the nineteenth century. At that time, the style changed, and men stopped wearing wigs by the beginning of the nineteenth century. After that, they generally wore their own hair fair fairly long, and most men wore very long beards or sideburns.C: Which we see in some of the very early photos from that time.S: Right. But by the early twentieth century, that had changed. The norm for men was to wear their hair cut very, very short. And beards were something only grandfathers wore.If a man wore a mustache at all, it was cut very short.C: Until the 1960s and’70s, of course.S: Of course.B. Read the following statements and listen to Part 2 again. Complete the statements, according to the information in the program.1. b2. a3. cScriptPart 2S: By the 1960s, in Europe and throughout the Americas, men began to wear their hair long, and they grew beards and mustaches – pretty much as a protest against decades of what they saw as a very conservative culture.C: I remember that.S: At that time there had been an unwritten fashion code that said any man who didn’t wearhis hair very short – or who had a beard – was a radical.C: That’s hard to believe today.S: But that’s how it was. In the UK and the U.S., rock musicians led the way with hair, and mustaches seeming to get longer each year.C: Men today don’t always realize what an incredible change that was. Isn’t that true?S: Absolutely. How a man wore his hair was a social and political statement. But today,men’s hair fashions are all over the place –which was certainly not true back then.Men can wear their hair either long or short. Anything goes.C: Ponytails. Braids.S: Yup. A short beard or moustache.C: The goatee has been the beard of choice for a number of years now.S: And, of course, the bald look has become very popular now. Who would have thought twenty years ago that men would actually choose to shave off all their hair! No way! C: Any other trends worth looking at?S: Well, we haven’t said anything yet about men dyeing their hair. Over the last decade some men have chosen to dye their hair bright blond, red, yellow –even green or purple.C: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I saw that last time I was in Tokyo.S: That’s right. I’ve heard that in Japan this is a kind of social statement in response to strict school dress codes.C: Well, thank you, Susan, for … ahem … letting your hair down about a very interesting subject.S: Good one, Chuck. Thanks for having me.Teaching suggestionsStep 1Have a volunteer read the statements and answer choices out loud. If necessary, explain the meanings of unfamiliar terms.Step 2Review answers as a class.Step 3To have students support their choices, ask What were man protesting against when they changed their hairstyles? What would it have been considered eccentric? Why do they want to express their individuality?Option:Form small groups. To personalize the activity, have male students tell their group members which styles they have worn or would like to wear.C. DiscussionDo you agree with the hair stylist that “anything goes” today for men’s hairstyles? Are there any hairstyles that you really don’t like on a man? Do you think men’s hairstyles have improved or gotten worse in recent times?Teaching suggestionsStep 1To prepare for the discussion, have students look at the photos depicting hairstyles and decide which they like and which they don’t like on a man.Step 2Have students discuss the questions in small groups.Step 3To review, take a class poll. With a show of hands, determine which hairstyles depicted inthe photos are the least popular on a man. Then have students vote on whether they think hairstyles have improved or gotten worse in recent times. Write the results on the board. Step 4To finish, have volunteers summarize the results of the poll.SpeakingComment on Fashion and StyleA. Conversation snapshotTeaching SuggestionsStep 1Before students read and listen, have them look at the photo. Ask What do the man’s clothes say about him? (Possible response: that he likes fashion; that he wants to attract attention)Step 2After students read and listen, check comprehension by asking What does the first woman think about what the man is wearing?What does the second woman think? (that the man is in style; that his shirt is loud.)Language note:Check out is used in spoken English to tell someone to look at someone or something. Can you believe……? Shows you are surprised or shocked by something.Rhythm and Intonation PracticeTeaching SuggestionsHave students repeat chorally.B. VocabularyDescribing fashion and style. Listen and practice.Teaching SuggestionsStep 1Have students listen to the words and study the definitions. Then have students listen and repeat chorally.Step 2Say Use words that are informal (hot, tacky, flashy) with friends or other people you know well.Step 3To provide practice, have pairs use the words or phrases to give their own opinions of the clothes the man in the conversation snapshot picture is wearing.C.

综合教程第四单元听⼒翻译及答案Unit 4 News 24⁄7Outside viewPart1Keith :I saw Robin Williams come to the patio. I made the run, jumped a couple of sawhorses, climbed up a stairway, got in front of him, and said, “Robin, do you mind if I take a picture?” He goes, “After all that, how could I stop you?”V/O (画外⾳)Keith Sykes has a long career in journalism, photography, and communications.Keith :I’ve taken pictures of a lot of celebrities. Cindy Crawford. I’ve tak en her picture a few times and, I, I think it’s impossible to take a bad picture of her. James Garner. I’ve photographed famous politicians. I stood in the same position for two hours to get this picture. Photographing these people is uh, an exciting thing for me. When I moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to become editor of a weekly newspaper out there, I was really excited when I started getting these invitations to come to this award show, or this benefit show. I was showing up at all these eventsand seeing people that I had seen on the screen and it was, uh, really, uh, a magical moment for me.Part2Keith :The word paparazzi means “the pest” in Italian. Fellini dubbed a character who played a pesky photographer in La Dolce Vita “Paparazzo”. The roots of papa razzi photography were in Europe after World War II. The countries were all subject to many political factions who were deciding what direction their countries would go. This createdawesome political rivalries. And photographers would cover political events, knowing that they would probably turn into violent protests and they’d get newsworthy pictures and be able to sell them. Now at the same time, more and more celebrities were going to the Mediterranean, to Monte Carlo … And these photographers, who had started as political photographers, took pictures of the celebrities and their … those celebrities’ wild lives. There are financial rewards. If I got a photograph of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt holding hands, then I’d be paid maybe $10,000. If I shot Je nnifer and Brad throwing drinks at each other, I would get $50,000. How much a photograph is worth is often determined by how negative it portrays that celebrity. When, uh, Princess Diana died, I started thinking. I had realized that the business had gone bad, that it was being motivated by money, that it was creating not artists, or even well-meaning photographers who wanted to pursue this craft, but rather, really bounty hunters.Part3Keith :I decided to use the small college town of North Hampton and go up there every Saturday night, and I put on the full uniform, photo vest, and press IDs, and I would lurk in doorways and follow people and jump out in front of them and take their picture. I’ve, you know, walked up with my camera behind me and then just pulled it out and shot it with the flash. We wanted to know what it felt like – as an everyday person, how do you like the idea that someone can take pictures of you on the street? And almost universally, people feel you shouldn’t have the right to invad e their privacy. I think, as consumers of the media, we at least have to look at ourselves occasionally and evaluate what it is we’re consuming. Because whatever we’re consuming, we’re encouraging to spread.Listening inPassage1Phil :Hello.Tony :Hello, is that Phil Taylor?Phil :Speaking.Tony :Hi, Phil, my name’s Tony, and I’m a reporter for SUN.Phil :The uni paper! I suppose you want to talk to me about the fire.Tony :Yes, if it’s OK with you. We’d like to do a piece on the fire for next week’s paper. Canyou tell people how it happened?Phil :Yeah, OK, it probably is a good idea.Tony :So when can I come and see you?Phil :Um … Wednesday afternoon? Three o’clock? I’m in South Block, Room 18.Tony :OK, I’ll be there.…Tony :OK, so let’s get started. When did the fire happen?Phil :Two days ago.Tony :November the 10th. OK, so tell me how it happened.Phil :Um … It was about 11 pm. I decided to fry some chips, I used quite a lot of oil – I wasdeep-frying. Um … And I put the chips in. And then my girlfriend rang.Tony :OK.Phil :We’d had a quarrel, and I was pretty upset, so we started talking, and I completely forgotabout the chips and went back to my room.Tony :You fool!Phil :Thanks. We talked for a quite long time. Next thing I knew, there was this smell of smoke,and someone was shouting, “Fire! Fire!” And I realized immediately of course, it was my chips! And I rushed out of my room –the kitchen was next door –and …well … there were flames all over one wall.Tony :And it was all your fault!Phil :It was. But people were in the kitchen throwing blankets over the flames, and someone had already called the fire brigade and they came – in ten minutes I think – and put it out very quickly.Tony :So what was the damage?Phil :They’re gonna to have to replace the cooker, two kitchen units, repaint one wall. Tony :Sounds pretty bad.Phil :It could have been a lot worse.Tony :Can I take a photo of you for the paper?Phil :Do you have to? Oh, OK.Tony :Thanks. It’ll be front page news.Phil :Oh dear! Haven’t you got anything else to write about?Tony :Not this week. There’s not much happening on campus. I’m joking. You’re on Page2.Phil :Thanks!Passage2Presenter:Today’s discussion is about reality TV programmes, the programmes loved by millions and hated by just as many. We have three people on our panel – Triciaa student at Liverpool University, Rick from Luton, and Karen who is a full-timemum.Panel :Hello.Presenter :So let’s begin with a very obvious question. Do you watch reality TV programmes and if so, why?Tricia :Yes, I do, I love them, I’m addicted to them, I’m afraid.Presenter :Addicted to them?Tricia :Yes, I think all my friends are really. I guess it’s just, you know, fascinating to watch real people put under a bit of pressure and then see how they behave. Presenter :That doesn’t sound very nice exactly.Tricia :No, it isn’t. But reality TV isn’t very nice actually.Presenter :Karen, how about you?Karen :Yes, well I watch them but I’m not like Tricia. I’m definitely not addicted to them.I can take them or leave them. But I do like to watch property programmes. Presenter :Property programmes?Karen :You can learn a lot from them. And it’s –it’s great to see real people buying aproperty and then doing it up, the mistakes they make, that kind of thing. And yes, you know, there’s the human interest factor as well.Presenter :Rick –Rick :I can’t stand reality TV. I mean, OK, if it’s a property programme or a gardening programme, fine, but most of them are just –they’re set up to humiliate people. Tricia :Not always.Rick :I disagree. People are on show. It’s like watching animals in a zoo. I mean, would you appear on a reality show? Tricia :Maybe. I don’t know. Probably not.Rick :There you are you see? You don’t want to be humiliated.Karen :Some people do very well on reality shows. They win a lot of money.Rick :OK, that’s true, but –standards on reality shows can be pretty low, you can’t deny it.Presenter :Tricia, what have you got to say to that?Tricia :Well, it’s true, yes.Karen :I agree with Rick.Presenter :So, next question …。
