Unit 1 Another Busy Day（1）Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, you're working too hard.Talia: I know. I always work this hard. Maybe you could mention that to Tony? I don't think he knows it.Amy: Is that a new hairstyle? It's very ... unique.Talia: Very funny. I had to work late last night. I' m tired, I'm in a bad mood, and I don't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you're not a reporter yet.Talia: You think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding...Talia: You may be right.Amy: Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class.Talia: Oh, no! Our journalism class! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework?Amy: Compare two news stories on the same topic.Talia: That's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I'll do it after work.Amy: You work too hard.Unit 1 Another Busy Day（2）Amy: Why don't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party?Talia: No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy: Come on! Josh Taylor is having a party. A lot of available guys will be there... You might meet someone.Talia: No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me...Tony: Good, you're here. I have something important to talk to you about.What are you working on?Talia: I'm researching the background information for that transportation story.Amy: She's always working. She told me to tell you that.Tony: I have a big project for you to work on. I know you've been hoping for a break. This may be it.Talia: Really? That's great!Tony: Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking News（1）Tony: Someone sent us this tape. This is incredible. What a shame. Talia: What' s a shame?Tony: Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? He's thestar forward on our national team.Talia: Of course. Everyone's heard of him, I think.Tony: Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Crawford talks about how he needs money.Amy: That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately.I've heard all sorts of gossip about that.Tony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000.Talia: What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and couldn't play in that game?Talia: Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated.Tony: Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy: You mean, he won't get to play in the next match?Tony: Exactly. And without him, we'll probably lose again.Amy: Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony: Talia, that's your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you'd better find out fast.Unit 2 Breaking News（2）Talia: OK. I'll get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, we'll run the tape on tonight's broadcas—t before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copyof this tape.Talia: Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. We shouldn't give away our only one.Tony: Good thinking. Amy ... handle this with care.Amy: Absolutely!Talia: See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia: OK. I'm on it.Tony: Is there a problem?Talia: Not exactly. I'll do it. It's just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony: You do?Talia: Yes. We went to college together. It's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony: Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's beena star on the national team for four years now.People do crazythings when they get famous.Talia: I just can't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. You're a good researcher, and one day—I hope —you'll be a great reporter. But don't let youremotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I'll have to findsomeone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job For Talia（1）Woman’s voice on tape: We ’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick ’s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman’s voice on tape: That ’s right. Do that, and fifty thousand dollars isyours.Nick ’s voice on tape: Well, I can really u tsh e money. You ’ve gotyourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It ’s a pleasure doing business with you. Tony: How ’s it going?Talia: I can ’t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too, when will we have the results?Talia: He’s going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I ’ve been a researcher here for three years. I ’v investigated other scandals. But something here doesn ’t seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn ’t make s e n sa e w.f o N r i d c k l o Cv r e s soccer. Why wouldhe do something to hurt his career?Tony: That ’s a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Ishe a friend of yours?Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English togetherfor two semesters.Tony: Oh, that ’s it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here fromEngland about 10 years ago. I know that he I’k nsoswmart.Andthat he ’s always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Unit 3 A Job For Talia（2）Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else.Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure,absolutely sure.Tony: That ’s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I don ’t know ?Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, you ’re not a reporter yet, you ’re still a researcher Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I ’ll give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won ’t be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big,the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you ’ll let me report it, won ’t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a breakI. know that. I ’ll tell you what: come up with something big and the story is yours. But, Talia be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy ?I hear he can be very charming. Don ’t let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of Trust（1）Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don ’t I?Talia: Yes. I ’m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia: After all these years, I ’m surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature classtogether, weren’t we?Talia: That’s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer ’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don ’t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn ’t we?Talia: Yes, that ’s ri g r ehct.aAl,syIou did really well on it.Nick: That ’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: Not exactly. I ’m a researcher now ?with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people aren ’t my favourite people right now. I heard there ’s a nasty story coming out aboSutome.thing aboutme throwing a game?Talia: That ’s why I ’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under differentcircumstances.Unit 4 A Matter Of Trust（2）Talia: No listen. I ’d like to ?I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do you?Nick: Nope. You ’re in the news business. You ’re all alike.Talia: Hey, don ’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn ’taI l?y.R Y e o u can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win thequalifying match next weekend. After that I will deal with this mess.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game.They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That ’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That ’s impossible.Talia: No, it ’s not. That ’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story.Did you or didn ’t you take the money? Did y oud i o dr n’t youthrow the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story,or the story that will get your show more viewers? Which story doyou really want? Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the truth is, I didn ’t do it. I ’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick ’s Explana（t i o1）nTalia: OK, let ’s get this straight. You ’re one of the country ’s players ?Nick: Well, I have to admit —that's true. Of course, some people thinkthat ’s not such a great achievement.Talia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of theyear.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a spraine（d扭伤）ankle. I could hardly walk, I certainly couldn play. ’ｔTalia: But your coach can ’t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can ’t see a s pr-ar ai n y.on an XTalia: You can’t?Nick: No.Talia: I see ?Nick: You don ’t have to believe me, but it ’s the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia: And not because you took a bribe.Nick: A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia: Then can you explain the tape?Nick: What tape?Talia: Listen to this.Woman’s voice on tape: We ’ll pay you fifty thousandNdicoklla’r s.svoice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on thebench?Woma’n s voice on tape: That ’s right. Dothat and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick ’svoice on tape: Well, I can really use the money.You’ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It ’s a pleasure doing business with you.Unit 5 Nick ’s Explana（t i o2）nNick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don ’t know why. Why would I do something so stupid?Talia: That ’s what I want to know.Nick: Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is goingto report that I deliberately sat out a game!Coach: I know all about it. Who is this?Nick: This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She worksfor Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize myteammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach: Hi.Talia: Nice to meet you both.Coach: Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia: Sure.Coach: Look. I don ’t think it ’s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean: Yeah, you ’ve got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don ’t get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me? Coach: Well, we ’re going to find that out. Now, I don ’t want to worrNick, but I ’ve been getting some p ressu rte he fr So moccerFederation.Nick: What do you mean?Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean: No!Nick: They can ’t do that!Coach: Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and,frankly, I don ’t think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad News（1）Talia: I don ’t think he did it.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: Nick. I don ’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because ?Talia: Well, for one thing, he told me he ’s innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia: As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be amistake ?or something ?Something is funny here. He ’s a M s a o k c i n c g e r star.money is not a problem for him.Amy: But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.Tony: And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take itfrom me. I ’ve seen a lot of people do stupid t h Ei n v g e s n.rich,famous people. It may not always make sense.Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick ’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week beforethe qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that ?I ’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Unit 6 Bad News（2）Tony: You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. We ’re going with t hi t s o s n t i o g r h y t. If wedon’t, the competition may beat us to it.Amy: You ’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn ’t look good.Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren ’t always as they seem.Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia: I just don ’t think that ’s true in this case.Tony: You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you ’re all right w t h o i r s k i b n y g onyourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.Talia: No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I ’d be fair. I promise you I wouldn ’t let my emotions color my j udgm Aen ndt.Ipromised myself I ’d do a good job.Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I ’m giving the story to John.Talia: Thanks, Tony. I ’ll be fine. You won ’t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement Dea（l1）Talia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick: Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No. Actually I prefer1 to stand.Nick: OK, whatever2. So now what ’s going on? Talia: This! Fiftythousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before thequalifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick: So?Talia: So? So that ’s exactly the amount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game3.Nick: It ’s also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing4 a newline5 of athletic shoes. Talia: Oh, really?Nick: Yes, really. They ’re going to be called Kicks. They ’re comin next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7 than your old shoeMs.orecomfortable, too. And they ’re less expensive than they look.Come and get your Kicks8! ”Talia: Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call youragent9? I wanna confirm10 this “endorsement deal ”．Nick: Except11, I didn ’t use an agent. Talia: No agent? What a surprise!Unit 7 An Endorsement Dea（l2）Nick: Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here comes another story.Nick: It was about 10 o ’clock one morning.

I really want to introduce you to him.He's ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing.I'm so disappointed. I feel like such a fool.Amy: Look, Talia, you' re no fool. Don' t be so hard on yourself.Talia: But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you'd break this big story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I'd be yourassistant, and you'd give me a raise.Talia: I'm so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I'm so depressed. Amy: Don't look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick: Talia. Talia.Amy: Hello. Nick Crawford? I' m Amy Lee.Nick: And I' m here to talk to Talia.Amy: Uh, I don't think you can speak to her now.Nick: But I've got to talk to her. I know who's responsible for this mess. Talia: I've heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don't have to speak to you. I'll give my story to that other reporter, what's his name? John Donnelly.Unit 11 The Truth Revealed（2）Talia: I ’II give you two minutes.Nick: You won't be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That' s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn't lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We' ve got reservations for lunch. Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It ’s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there. Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It' s so much more pleasant to talk over a good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we' II pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes.Nick: She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick : I ’m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I' ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s Challeng（e1）Nick: Oh, good, you' re here. Coach, I' ve been trying to speak to you since last night. This whole scandal is because ...Coach: Nick, Nick, we' ve been working together for four years now.You' re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel like we're family. Nick: Thanks, Coach. Me too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for me, then? Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow madea phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fakeendorsement.Coach: And you' re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game?Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you?Nick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he' s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so that he can bethe star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I' ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two. I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days. They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Unit 12 Dean ’s Challe（n g2）eNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you' re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened.Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your- so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't knowyou were that smart.Dean: You're talking crazy now.Nick: It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out.。

新时代交互英语视听说3第六单元 2minute speech

2013212703 xxxSchool of mathematics and statisticsOct 14, 2014Listening and Speaking CourseThe Importance of TrustLadies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I’m very glad to make a two-minute speech today. And my topic is the Importance of Trust. With the development of the world, not only energy is a problem, but the problem of trust more and more is not optimistic. So when we solve the energy problem is also more to solve the trust problem. Because trust is the basis of society, and no one wants to live the lies and deceit in a world full of. And trust can keep things simple, can improve the working efficiency, improve the feelings between people, and give us a sense of security.However, trust is fragile, easy to be shaken. Therefore, to strengthen the trust between people is important. Honesty and trust are inseparable, only honest people can get trust, so we must be honest. We also need to trust others, because you trust others, you will gain the same trust.At last, I hope that the whole society will be full of trust, so the whole world will become more beautiful. That’s all. Thanks for your listening.。

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 keep fit – going to the gym, yogaclasses, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active.W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job.

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 oureating 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 youthan 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?

For health reasons or social reasons?W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. Yousit 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 eatthe same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.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 happe nwith 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 liquidbecomes 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 normaldrinks 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.

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 most exciting 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 yourselfwaiting 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 number 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 oftenbecomes 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.。

So I froze, like a statue … I didn’t move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away.

I even wore my dad’s favorite green tie for good luck!W: Did you win?M: Almost! I came in second. I was so sad after I misspelled “knowledgeable”. But my mom gave me a big hug afterwards, and then we went out for ice cream. Um … vanilla ice cream.W: Wow Dad! S econd place in the state competition! In my next competition, I’m going to wear my favorite new yellow dress for good luck!

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science andtechnology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US historysince 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------新视野大学英语(第三版)视听说Book1-Unit6-听力原文Unit 6 Wit and fitListening to the worldSharing Scripts F = Finn Part 1 F: Often it’s hard to find a time to exercise when you have a full-time job. 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. I must say I really enjoyed that. Thanks very much. C: That’s fine. Fine. B: I say, it’s, it’s a super game, isn’t it? I, I can’t understand why I’ve never tried it before. Absolutely lovely.

B: I see. But how many is love? C: Love is nothing. B: Oh no, no. That’s not right, I’m sure, because I’m sure you got a goal, earlier on, right at the---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ beginning. C: A point! B: A point, I mean. C: A point, yes, well of course I did. That was when you … B: Oh, I know, I was holding the thing by the wrong end. I must remember, hold the bat by the thin end. C: The racket! B: Racket, I mean. C: The racket! B: Yes. C: This is … this is a ball. B: Yes. C: The gam e is called “squash”. B: Yes. C: Let’s start from basic principles. B: Yes. C: The whole thing is called “squash”. B: Squash. C: This is a ball. B: Yes. C: This is a ... racket when you do that. That’s what that is. That is a racket. B: I see. Will it work now you’ve done that? C: Ah … I don’t much care, to be honest.I mean … I’m not going to be playing squash anymore ever! B: Oh, I say. That’s a pity, because I was hoping we could have another game next week. I mean, I can, I thought, well you know, I thought I might get a bit better. C: A bit better? A bit better?! Look matey, I’m the secretary of this squash club. You know. I, I, I mean, I captain the A-team. You know. I’m one of the best players round here, as a matter of fact. You know, I won the area finals last year, all that sort of thing, you know. You know, I’m good. You know, good. And you come along here, if I may say so. You’ve never played the game before. You’re vastly overweight, if I may say so. You’re very slow on the7/ 18court. You’ve gone out on that court, and you’ve thrashed me. You’ve pounded me into the ground. You pulverized me, in front of my friends, four games to love! Well, how do you do it? B: Beginner’s luck? C: It’s a fluke. That’s what it is, a fluke, matey. It won’t happen again. I’ll tell you what … It won’t happen the next time. B: No, well, there won’t be a next time, will there? Because you’ve broken your rocket. C: My racket! I’ll get a new one. I don’t care. I’ll get a new one. Look, mate. I’ll get a new one, and tomorrow morning, here, 10 o’clock, things will be different! B: Oh no, no. Sorry, old boy. No, not tomorrow. No can do. C: What do you mean, “No can do”? B: I’ve got to go up to a place called Lords tomorrow. I’ve got to play a game called “cracket” or something.Spe aking for communication---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Role-play Scripts Conversation 1 D = Doctor; W = Woman D: Hello. I’m Dr. Andrews. Now, what’s the matter? W: Well, doctor, I feel terrible. I get these headaches and I feel sick. D: Oh. How long have you had this problem? W: A few weeks now. And I can’t sleep at night because my head hurts. D: You can’t sleep? W: That’s right. D: And are you very worried or under pressure at the moment? W: No, I don’t think so. D: Do you have a healthy diet? W: Hmm. Quite healthy. D: Do you drink tea or coffee? W: Yes, I do. D: How much? W: Tea? Er … probably about eight cups, or ten. D: A day? W: Yes. D: I see. And has that changed in the last few weeks? W: Not really. D: OK. Well the first thing is I think you should stop drinking so much tea and coffee. Try to drink just one small cup a day. I’ll give you some painkillers for the headaches. Take two of these three times a day. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, but if your headaches continue … Conversation 2 D = Doctor; M = Man D: Good morn ing. How can I help? M: Well, I’m worried about my foot. D: Your foot? M: Yes. It hurts when I walk. D: I see. Did you do anything to it? Did you have an accident? M: Um. Well, sort of. D: What happened? M: I kicked a wall. D: I see. When did you do that?

He’s a hero, not just for me, but probably for all Brazilians. I think he is one of the greatest football players ever. He was such a good athlete, and he had so much talent. He was “King of Football”, and scored more goals for Brazil than anyone else. And he was born very poor. You know he didn’11/ 18t 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.

That is, early risers can begin work at 7 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. while late sleepers need not go to work until 10 a.m. but they must work until 6 in the evening. M: That’s cool for a night owl like me. Q: At what time is the man most likely to go to work? Conversation 4 M: You’ve been working so hard. I know you don’t want to rest because you love your job.

W: That’s right. But you know triathlons are tough with the three events: swimming, then cycling and finally running! My sister, Jennifer, did a triathlon last year and loved it! 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 people---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ from 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 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.

Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner.

Remember Nick Crawford had an in j u r y and c o u l d n't play in that gameTalia : Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated,Tony : Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy : You mean, he won' t get to play in the next matchTony : Exactly. And without him, we' II probably lose again.Amy : Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for realTony : Talia, that' s your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you' d better find out fast.Video Listening 2Talia : OK. I' II get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, w e'l l run the tape on t o n i g h t's broadcast before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copy of this tape.Talia: Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. We s h o u l d n't give away our only one.Tony : Good thinking. Amy ... handle this with care.Amy : Absolutely!Talia: See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert. Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I' m on it.Tony : Is there a problemTalia : Not exactly. I'l l do it. It’s just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony : You doTalia : Yes. We went to college together. I t's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony : Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's been a star on the national team for four years now. People do crazy things when they get famous.Talia : I just c a n't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribeTony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. Y o u'r e a good researcher, and one day I hope y o u'l l be a great reporter. But d o n't let your emotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I' II have to find someone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job for TaliaVideo Listening 1Woman's voice on tape: We'll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick's voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the benchWoman's voice on tape: That' s right.

When will we have the resultsTalia: H e's going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I've been a researcher here for three years. I've investigated other scandals. But something here doesn't seem right.Tony: What do you meanTalia: It just doesn't make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his careerTony: T h a t's a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford Is he a friend of yoursTalia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters.Tony: Oh, t h a t's itTalia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about 10 years ago.I know that h e's smart. And I know that h e's always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his careerVideo Listening 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent Find someone else!Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That' s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and ta lk to Nick.Tony: I d o n't know ...Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, y o u'r e not a reporter yet, you're still a researcher. RememberTalia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to loseTony: All right, I'l l give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won't be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, rightTony: What do you meanTalia: I mean, you’ll let me report it, won" t you If I can get Nick to tell me everythingTony: You deserve a break. I know that. I'l l tell you what: come up with something big and t h e story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you meanTony: This Nick Crawford guy ... I hear he can be very charming. D o n't let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 1Talia: NickNick:I know you, don’t ITalia:Yes. I’m Tal ia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia:After all these years, I’m surprised you remember me.Nick:How could I forget you We were in an English literature class together, weren’t weTalia: Tha’s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia:Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick:We studied together for the final, didn’t weTalia:Yes, that’s right. As I recall, you did really well on it.Nick:That’s right! But only bec ause I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here Are you a big soccer fan nowTalia:Not exactly. I’m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick:Oh, I see. Well, news people aren’t my favourite people right now. I heard there’s a nasty story coming out about me. Something about me throwing a gameTalia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do youNick:Nope. You’re in the news business. You’re all alike.Talia:Hey, don’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I Really.You can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend. After that I will deal with this mess.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick:That’s impossible.Talia:No, it’s not. That’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn’t you take the money Did you or didn’t you throw the gameNick:Oh, you want to hear my story Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers Which story do you really want Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the tru th is, I didn’t do it. I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationTalia : OK, let's get this straight. You’re one of the country's best soccer players.Nick : Well, I have to admit—that' s true. Of course, some people think that' s not such a great achievement.Talia : Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick :Not just for some reason. I had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. You can't see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia : You can'tNick : No.Talia :I see ...Nick : You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia : And not because you took a bribeNick : A bribe How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thingTalia : Then can you explain the tapeNick : What tapeTalia : Listen to this.(Voice on tape)Woman: We' II pay you fifty thousand pounds.Nick: And all I have to do is sit on the benchWoman : That's right. Do that and fifty thousand pounds is yours.Nick: Well, I could really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: I t sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupidTalia:That's what I want to know.Nick:Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game! Coach:I know all about it. Who is thisNick:This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach:Hi.Talia:Nice to meet you both.Coach:Would you excuse us for a moment, pleaseTalia:Sure.Coach:Look. I don't think it's such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, you've got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don't get it. Why would anybody try to do this to meCoach:Well, we' re going to find that out. Now, I don't want to worry you, Nick, but I've been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick:What do you meanCoach:They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean:No!Nick: They can't do that!Coach:Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don't think we can win without you. Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1Talia:I don't think he did it.Tony:What do you meanTalia:Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia:No for one thing, he told me he was innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia:As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake …or something…Something is funny here. He’s a soccer star. Making money is not a problem for him.Amy:But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony:Yes, have you ever thought about thatAmy:He might owe a lot of people money.Tony:And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I’ve seen a lot of people do stupid things. Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense.Talia:But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony:We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy:Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia:Oh, my gosh. What Let me see that…I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. W’re going with this story tonight. If we don’t, the competition may beat us to it.Amy:You’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn’t look good.Talia:I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem.Tony:And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia:I just don’t think that’s true in this case.Tony:You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you’re all right working on this by yourself Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.Talia:No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I’d be fair. I promised you I wouldn’t let my emotions color my judgment. And I promised myself I’d do a good job.Tony:OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John.Talia:Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. You won’t be sorry.Unit 7 Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to meNick:Hello, Talia.

Come and get your kicks!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying Oh, yes. Can I call your agent I want to confirm this endorsement deal. Nick:Except, I didn’t use an agent.Talia:No agent What a surprise!Video 2Nick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning.

Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s itNick: Basically.Talia:Hmm.Nick:Well, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes, OK. I’ll call her.

Maybe she used to work here.Receptionist: I didn’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long, I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here.

She is a VP at kicks shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you are talking about.

I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line, you’re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No help for NickVideo 1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you know herReceptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again.

Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She's a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance. Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear...Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor.

Josh’s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He’s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing. I’m so disappointed. I feel like such a fool. Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself.Talia:But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you’d break this big story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise.Talia:I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed.Amy:Don’t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello.

I know it's him.Coach: Dean Who are you talking about Dean BishopNick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you’re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying gameNick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean And his sister This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to youNick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proofNick: Not yet. But I‘ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two. I'm hoping she can help. Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days. They want to suspend you. Nick: But what about Dean BishopCoach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you’re taking. Is there anything I can do to helpNick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened.Dean: Excuse meNick: You know.

The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You're talking crazy now.Nick: It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out.Dean: Wow, Nick. You've, uh, you've made up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister. Dean: Yeah Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well, you're not so popular now, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

It's a pleasure doing business with you.Tony: How's it going?Talia: I can' t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too. When will we have the results?Talia: He's going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I've been a researcher here for three years. I've investigated other scandals. But something here doesn't seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn't make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career?Tony: T h a t's a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours? Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters. Tony: Oh, t h a t's it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about10 years ago. I know that h e's smart. And I know that h e's always dreamed of beinga great soccer star.Tony: Mm hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video Listening 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else!Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That' s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I d o n't know ...Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, y o u'r e not a reporter yet, you're still a researcher. Remember? Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I'l l give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won't be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you’ll let me report it, won" t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything? Tony: You deserve a break. I know that. I'l l tell you what: come up with something big and t h e story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy ... I hear he can be very charming. D o n't let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 1Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don’t I?Talia:Yes. I’m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia:After all these years, I’m surprised you remember me.Nick:How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class together, weren’t we? Talia: Tha’s righ t, the Shakespeare class.Nick:Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia:Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick:We studied together for the final, didn’t we?Talia:Yes, that’s right. As I recall, you did really we ll on it.Nick:That’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia:Not exactly. I’m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people a ren’t my favourite people right now. I heard there’s a nasty story coming out about me. Something about me throwing a game?Talia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do you?Nick:Nope. You’re in the news business. You’re all alike.Talia:Hey, don’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I? Rea lly.You can trust me.Nick:Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend.After that I will deal with this mess.Talia:Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick:That’s impossible.Talia:No, it’s not. That’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn’t you take the money? Did you or didn’t you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers? Which story do you really want? Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick:Well, the truth is, I didn’t do it. I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationTalia : OK, let's get this straight. You’re one of the country's best soccer players.Nick : Well, I have to admit—that' s true. Of course, some people think that' s not such a great achievement.Talia : Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick : Not just for some reason. I had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. You can't see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia : You can't?Nick : No.Talia :I see ...Nick : You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia : And not because you took a bribe?Nick : A bribe? How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia : Then can you explain the tape?Nick : What tape?Talia : Listen to this.(Voice on tape)Woman: We' II pay you fifty thousand pounds.Nick: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman : That's right. Do that and fifty thousand pounds is yours.Nick: Well, I could really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupid? Talia: That's what I want to know.Nick:Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game!Coach: I know all about it. Who is this?Nick:This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach: Hi.Talia: Nice to meet you both.Coach: Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia:Sure.Coach: Look. I don't think it's such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, you've got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don't get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach:Well, we' re going to find that out. Now, I don't want to worry you, Nick, but I've been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick: What do you mean?Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean: No!Nick: They can't do that!Coach:Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don't think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1Talia:I don't think he did it.Tony:What do you mean?Talia:Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia:No for one thing, he told me he was innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia:As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something…Something is funny here. He’s a soccer star. Making money is not a problem for him.Amy:But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony:Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy:He might owe a lot of people money.Tony:And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I’ve seen a lot of people do stupid things. Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense. Talia:But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony:We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy:Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollarsin his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia:Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice.W’re going with this story tonight. If we don’t, the competition may beat us to it. Amy:You’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn’t look good.Talia:I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem. Tony:And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia:I just don’t think that’s true in this case.Tony:You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you’re all right working on this by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly. Talia:No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I’d be fair. I promised you I wouldn’t let my emotions color my judgment. And I promised myself I’d do a good job.Tony:OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John.Talia:Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. You won’t be sorry.Unit 7 Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No, actually, I prefer to stand.Nick:Ok. Whatever. So now what’s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in you bank account just before the qualifying match.Fifty thousand dollars!Nick: So?Talia: So? So, that’s exactly the amount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game. Nick: It is also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing a new line of athletic shoes. Talia:Oh, really?Nick:Yes, really. They’re going to be called Kicks. They are coming out next year. “Kicks: they are cooler than your old shoes. More comfortable, too. And they are less expensive than they look. Come and get your kicks!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent? I want to confirm this endorsement deal.Nick:Except, I didn’t use an agent.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!Video 2Nick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here. Jackie: E xcuse me. Aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick:Yes, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie: No. not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I am the VP of marketing for Kicks Shoes. Nick: Uh-huh.Jackie:And I have a very interesting proposition for you.Nick:Keep going, I am listening.Jackie: Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say, 12:30. we can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you all about the deal.Nick:She offered me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s it?Nick: Basically.Talia:Hmm.Nick:Well, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes, OK. I’ll call her. You know on second thought, I’d rather pay her a visit.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1Talia:Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:hmmm. I don’t think…I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia:No, I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker.Receptionist: …no, definitely not. There’s no one by that name.Talia:This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia:Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I didn’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long,I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was anarchitect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you are not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No, no. the name is Jackie Baker. She is a VP at kicks shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you are talking about. Kicks shoes? Hold on a second, I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of kicks shoes and they are not in our directory. Are you sure you are in the right place?Talia:No. I’m nor sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2Talia: Oh, no. my cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist: you seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone?Talia:I don’t know. Maybe. Probably…yes.Receptionist: I n that case, be my guest. Just dial 9 first.Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone’s in big trouble.Nick:Hello.Talia: Hello, nick. It’s Talia. Remember me?Nick: Of course I remember you.Talia: I wasn’t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts. Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, did n’t I?Talia:There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve never even heard of kicks shoes.Nick:That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building.Talia: That’s right.Nick:But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line, you’re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No help for NickVideo 1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry. But there's no Jackie Baker here.Nick : Do you mind if I look at that?Receptionist: Not at all. Have a look. Let me guess. You're Nick.Nick: That's right, but ... how did you know?Receptionist: Oh, you' re famous!Nick : Oh. Do you follow soccer?Receptionist: Soccer? No, never watch it. I was listening when that woman called you. I over heard everything.Nick : Well, that's great.Receptionist: She was really angry. Wow!Nick : I know. I know. Say, do you know what time it is?Receptionist : Nearly five. I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived.Nick : I t's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hour.Video Listening 2Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you?Nick: Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks?Receptionist:Excuse me?Nick:Kicks shoes. May I speak to someone else at Kicks shoes?Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there’s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before today.Nick:I don’t understand.Receptionist:Cheer up. Things can’t be as bad as they seem.Nick:No?Receptionist:Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me.Nick:Great. Thanks. She’s, uh, about as tall as you are. She’s got long black hair.She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met her here.She looked like an executive.Receptionist:And she’s got blue eyes?Nick:Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I gel for you?Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie?Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great.Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field.Patty: Really?Nick: Yeah. It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind making it louder? I need to catch up on the news.Patty : No problem.Reporter on TV: Let' s see if he' s got some comments about this scandal. Hey, Dean!What do you think about the Nick Crawford scandal?Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.Reporter on TV: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing;Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. /' m sure they' II decide as soon as they have more information.Reporter: What kind of information do you think they' II need to find?Dean : It's hard to say ...Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her!Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video 2Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever acted in anything.Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She's a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance.Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear... Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.Unit 11 The Truth RevealedVideo 1 ScriptTalia: I’m so glad I went to that class last night. It was really interesting.Amy:Well, Talia, you do look a little better today.Talia: Well, I don’t feel much better.Amy:You know what? You missed a great party the other night. Josh’s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He’s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing. I’m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself.Talia: But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you’d break this big story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise. Talia: I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed.Amy:Don’t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford? I’m Amy Lee.Nick:And I’m here to talk to Talia.Amy:Uh, I don’t think you can speak to her now.Nick:But I’ve got to talk to her. I know who’s responsible for this mess.Talia: I’ve heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don’t have to speak to you. I’ll give my story to that other reporter, what’s-his-name? John Donnelly.Video 2 ScriptTalia: I’ll give you two minutes.Nick: You won’t be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That’s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn’t lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We’ve got reservations for lunch.Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It’s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there.Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It’s so much more pleasant to talk overa good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we’ll pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I’m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I’ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo 1 ScriptNick: Oh, good, you’re here. Coach, I‘ve been trying to speak to you since last night.This whole scandal is because ...Coach: Nick, Nick, we’ve been working together for four years now. You’re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel like we're family.Nick: Thanks, Coach. Me, too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for me, then?Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you’re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game?Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you?Nick: Just think about it. Dean i s a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I‘ve been wor king with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two. I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days. They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you’re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened.Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You're talking crazy now.Nick: It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out. Dean: Wow, Nick. You've, uh, you've made up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: Yeah? Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well, you're not so popular now, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

Unit 6 Wit and fitListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = FinnPart 1F: Often it’s hard to find a time to exercise when you have a full-time job. Lots of my friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you? What do you doto keep fit?M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 2M1: 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 coac h, 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 keep fit – 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 3F: 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 unfort unately 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, andyou meet a lot of people.Part 4F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?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.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. I must say I really enjoyed that. Thanks very much.C: That’s fine. Fine.B: I say, it’s, it’s a super game, isn’t it? I, I can’t understand why I’ve never tried i t before. Absolutely lovely.

Now, what’s the matter?W: Well, doctor, I feel terrible. I get these headaches and I feel sick.D: Oh. How long have you had this problem?W: A few weeks now.

I’ll give you some painkillers for the headaches. Take two of these three times a day. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, but if your headaches continue …Conversation 2D = Doctor; M = ManD: Good morning. How can I help?M: Well, I’m w orried about my foot.D: Your foot?M: Yes. It hurts when I walk.D: I see. Did you do anything to it? Did you have an accident?M: Um. Well, sort of.D: What happened?M: I kicked a wall.D: I see. When did you do that?M: About a week ago.D: OK.

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!

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.。

It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university.

Ready to celebrate.Talia: Didn’t you get my message?Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...Nick: What are you talking about?Talia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie andDean’sconversation.Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.Nick: Oh, no!Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence! Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourselfTalia: Well, I’m supposed to be a p rofessional! And I want to be a reporter! Script 2Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.Talia: You’re right. What’s done is done. Orin this case, what’s not done is done. Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.Talia: How can you stay so positive?Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.Talia: Well, I wish it were m ine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the most ter rible part of all of this is that I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10Script 1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enoughTalia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It' easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello, Nick! Remember me?Nick: I certainly do.Talia: What are you doing here?Jackie: Do you have a video camera?Talia: Yes.Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous? Talia: What's the catch?Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.Script 2Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?Talia: You look fine. Really.Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure!Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time.I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nickusually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsementTalia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time. Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.Unit 11Script 1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve eve r heard you say. Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I wer e you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I think th is is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to. Script 2Amy: You must be very happy.Nick: I really am. My name has been cleared. I’m really rel ieved. This has been a nightmare!Tony: Now that the truth has come out, how about giving Newsline an exclusive interview?Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview.Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile. Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know. Like, now you can see Jackie Bishop on TV all the time!Nick: Yup, in that ridiculous toothpaste commercial. Well, I guess things have worked out for her.Patty: Seems so. And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right? I mean, you did score the winning goal in the qualifying match.Nick: Yes, but unfortunately, we DIDN’T make itPatty: No, but there’s always next time.Nick: That’s right, there’s always next time…Patty: Oh, you know who else I see on TV a lot now? That reporter who broke the story. What’s her name again? Talia something?Nick: Talia Santos. Yeah, I heard she’s been working really hard. I haven’t had a chance to see her much lately. And now she’s going to be moving.Patty: It sounds like you need to speak with her.Nick: You’re right, Patty. I’ll see you later.Patty: Bye, Nick. Hey! Let me know how things turn out.Script 2Talia: Nick! Hi! I’ve been meaning to call you.Nick: Oh, hi. Well, Amy called me. She told me the news.

I’m l istening.Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way.

Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...

I' m tired, I'm in a bad mood, and I don't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you're not a reporter yet.Talia : You think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding...Talia : You may be right.Amy : Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class.Talia : Oh, no! Our journalism class! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework?Amy : Compare two news stories on the same topic.Talia : That's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting,too. I guess I'll do it after work.Amy : You work too hard.Video 2Amy : Why don't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party?Talia : No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy : Come on!

This is incredible. What a shame. Talia : What' s a shame?Tony: Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? He's the star forward on our national team.Talia : Of course. Everyone's heard of him, I think.Tony : Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Crawford talks about how he needs money.Amy: That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately. I've heard all sorts of gossip about that.Tony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000.Talia : What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and couldn't play in thatgame?Talia : Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated.Tony : Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy : You mean, he won't get to play in the next match?Tony: Exactly. And without him, we'll probably lose again.Amy: Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony : Talia, that's your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you'd better find out fast.Video 2Talia : OK. I'll get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, we'll run the tape on tonight's broadcast—before the competition hears about it. In fact, they mayalready have a copy of this tape.Talia : Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. Weshouldn't give away our only one.Tony: Good thinking. Amy ... handle this with care.Amy: Absolutely!Talia : See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I'm on it.Tony : Is there a problem?Talia : Not exactly. I'll do it. It's just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony: You do?Talia: Yes. We went to college together. It's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony: Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's been a star on the national team for four years now.People do crazy things when they get famous.Talia: I just can't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe? Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. You're a good researcher, and one day— I hope — you'll be a great reporter. Butdon't let your emotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I'll have to find someone else to work on thisstory.Unit 3 A Job For TaliaVideo 1Woman’s voice on tape: We’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick’s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?

Tony: Me, too, when will we have the results?Talia: He’s going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I’ve been a researcher here for three years. I’ve investigated other scandals. But something here doesn’t seemright.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn’t mak e sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Whywould he do something to hurt his career?Tony: That’s a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours?Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters.Tony: Oh, that’s it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about 10 years ago. I know that he’s smart. AndI know that he’s always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape. Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else.Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That’s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I don’t know…Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide inme.Tony: Talia, look, you’re not a reporter yet, you’re still a researcher. Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I’ll give you one more day. But only one more day. Talia: You won’t be sorry. Just one m ore thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you’ll let me report it, won’t you? If I can get Nickto tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a break.I know that. I’ll tell you what: come up with s omething big and the story is yours. But,Talia becareful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy… I hear he can be very charming. Don’tlet him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 1Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don’t I?Talia: Yes. I’m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia: After all these years, I’m surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class together, weren’t we?Tali a: Tha’s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn’t we?Talia: Yes, that’s right. As I recall, you did really well on it.Nick: That’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently. Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: Not exactly. I’m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people aren’t my favourite people right now.I heard there’s a nasty story coming out about me.Something about me throwing a game?Talia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video 2Talia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do you?Nick: Nope. You’re in the news business. You’re all alike.Talia: Hey, don’t judge me so quickl y. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I? Really. You can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend. After that I will dealwith this mess.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That’s impossible.Talia: No, it’s not. That’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn’t you take the money? Did you ordidn’t you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers?Which story do you really want? Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the truth is, I didn’t do it. I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationVideo 1Talia: OK, let’s get this straight. You’re one of the country’s best soccer players…Nick: Well, I have to admit — that's true. Of course, some people think that’s not such a great achievement.Talia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a sprained（扭伤）ankle. I could hardly walk, I certainly couldn’tplay.Talia: But your coach can’t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can’t see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia: You can’t?Nick: No.Talia: I see…Nick: You don’t have to believe me, but it’s the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprainedankle.Talia: And not because you took a bribe.Nick: A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia: Then can you explain the tape?Nick: What tape?Talia: Listen to this.Woman’s voice on tape: We’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick’s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman’s voice on tape: That’s right. Do that and fifty thousanddollars is yours.Nick’s voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You’ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don’t know why. Why would I do something so stupid?Talia: That’s what I want to know.Nick: Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game!Coach: I know all about it. Who is this?Nick: This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and youmay recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach: Hi.Talia: Nice to meet you both.Coach: Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia: Sure.Coach: Look. I don’t think it’s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean: Yeah, you’ve got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don’t get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach: Well, we’re going to find that out. Now, I don’t want to worry you, Nick, but I’ve been getting some pressure fromthe Soccer Federation.Nick: What do you mean?Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean: No!Nick: They can’t do that!Coach: Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don’t think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1Talia: I don’t think he did it.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia: Well, for one thing, he told me he’s innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia: As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something… Something is funny here. He’s a soccer star.Making money is not a problem for him.Amy: But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.Tony: And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I’ve seen a lot of people do stupid things.Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense.Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account aweek before the qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation forthis.Video 2Tony: You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. We’re going with this storytonight. If we don’t, th e competition may beat us to it.Amy: You’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn’t look good.Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem.Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia: I just d on’t think that’s true in this case.Tony: You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you’re all right working onthis by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.Talia: No. I can do this mysel f. I promised Nick I’d be fair. I promised you I wouldn’t let my emotions color my judgment.And I promised myself I’ d do a good job.Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John. Talia: Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. You won’t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick: Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No. Actually I prefer1 to stand.Nick: OK, whatever2. So now what’s going on? Talia: This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before the qualifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick: So?Talia: So? So that’s exactly the a mount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game3.Nick: It’s also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing4 a new line5 of athletic shoes. Talia: Oh, really?Nick: Yes, really. They’re going to be called Kicks. They’re coming out6 next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7 than your old shoes.More comfortable, too.And they’re less expensive than they look. Come and get your Kicks8!”Talia: Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent9? I wanna confirm10 this “endorsement deal”.Nick: Except11, I didn’t use an agent. Talia: No agent? What a surprise!12Video 2Nick: Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here comes another story.Nick: It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here.Jackie: Excuse me, aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick: Yes, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie: No, not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I’m the VP13 of Marketing for Kicks Shoes.Nick: Uh-huh.Jackie: And I have a very interesting proposition14 for you.Nick: Keep going. I was listening.Jackie: Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say15, 12:30. We can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you about thedeal.Nick: She offered16 me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear theshoes next year when I play.Talia: That’s it?Nick: Basically17.Talia: Hmm.Nick: Well, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia: Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes. OK, I’ll call her. You know, on second thought18, I’d rather pay her a visit19.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1Talia: Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist: Hmmm. I don’t think… I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia: No. I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker. Receptionist No, definitely not. There's no one here by that name. Talia: This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: Yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia: Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I don’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Tenyears too long, I might add.… Someone named JacobBanker used to work here. Funny, he was an architect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Areyou sure you’re not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No. No. The name is Jackie Baker. She’s a VP at Kicks Shoes. Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Kicks Shoes? Hold on a second. I’m sorry, but I’ve neverheard of Kicks Shoes and they’re not in our directory.

There has never been a JackieBaker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve nevereven heard of Kicks Shoes.Nick: That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building?Talia: That’s right.Nick: But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch… Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “The person you are calling is not available”. Ithought it was odd.Nick: Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth. Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you’re gonna see agood story on Newsline, you’re wrong! Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No Help for NickVideo1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry.

What do you think about the NickCrawford scandal?Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.Reporter on TV:: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing,Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. I' m sure they’ll decide as soon as they have more information.Reporter: What kind of information do you think they’ll need to find? Dean : It's hard to say ...Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her!Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video2Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister.

That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ... Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever acted in anything.Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She' s a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance.Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear...Patty: Here you go Nick. . I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ……the evidence is not in his favor.

It was really interesting.Amy : Well, Talia, you do look a little better today.Talia : Well, I don't feel much better.Amy : You know what? You missed a great party the other night. Josh' s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce youto him. He's ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing. I'm so disappointed. I feel like such a fool.Amy : Look, Talia, you' re no fool. Don' t be so hard on yourself.Talia : But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy : It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you'd break this big story and become the top reporter at the station. ThenI'd be your assistant, and you'd give me a raise.Talia : I'm so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I'm so depressed.Amy : Don't look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick : Talia. Talia.Amy : Hello. Nick Crawford? I' m Amy Lee.Nick : And I' m here to talk to Talia.Amy : Uh, I don't think you can speak to her now.Nick : But I've got to talk to her. I know who's responsible for this mess.Talia : I've heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don't have to speak to you. I'll give my storyto that other reporter, what's his name? John Donnelly.Video2Talia : I’ II give you two minutes.Nick : You won't be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia : There is no Jackie Baker.Nick : That' s right.Talia : So you admit that you lied?Nick : No, I didn't lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We' ve got reservations for lunch. Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie : It’s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there. Nick: Sounds good.Jackie : Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It' s so much more pleasant to talk over a good meal.Nick : Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie : So, just sign here. It basically says we' II pay you $50,000to endorse the shoes.Nick : She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the starplayer.Talia : Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick : I’m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I' ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo1Nick : Oh, good, you' re here. Coach, I' ve been trying to speak to you since last night. This whole scandal is because ...Coach : Nick, Nick, we' ve been working together for four years now.You' re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel likewe're family.Nick : Thanks, Coach. Me too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick : No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me.Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down.Coach : Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for me, then?Nick : I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him. Coach : Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick : Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousanddollars for a fake endorsement.Coach : And you' re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game?Nick : Exactly.Coach : But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you?Nick : Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he' s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so thathe can be the star.Coach : Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick : Not yet. But I' ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two. I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days. They want to suspend you.Nick : But what about Dean Bishop?Coach : He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video2Nick : Dean.Dean : Nick, buddy. Tough rap you' re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick : Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach whatreally happened.Dean : Excuse me?Nick : You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean : Uh, what are you talking about?Nick : How you and your- so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean : I don't know what you're talking about.Nick : Yeah. The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. Ididn't know you were that smart.Dean : You're talking crazy now.Nick : It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out.Dean : Wow, Nick. You've, uh, you've made up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean : Yeah? Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well,you're not so popular now, Nicky boy.Nick : I know what you did.Dean : You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

Unit 1 Another Busy DayTapescript of Video 1Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, you're working too hard.Talia: I know. I always work this hard. Maybe you could mention that to Tony? I don't think he knows it.Amy : Is that a new hairstyle? It's very ... unique.Talia : Very funny. I had to work late last night. I' m tired, I'm in a bad mood,and I don't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you're not a reporteryet.Talia : You think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding...Talia : You may be right.Amy : Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class.Talia : Oh, no! Our journalism class! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework?Amy : Compare two news stories on the same topic.Talia : That's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I'll do it after work.Amy : You work too hard.Video 2Amy : Why don't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party? Talia : No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy : Come on! Josh Taylor is having a party. A lot of available guys will be there... You might meet someone.Talia : No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me...Tony : Good, you're here. I have something important to talk to you about. What are you working on?Talia : I'm researching the background information for that transportation story.Amy : She's always working. She told me to tell you that.Tony : I have a big project for you to work on. I know you've been hoping for a break.This may be it.Talia : Really? That's great!Tony : Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsTapescript of Video 1Tony : Someone sent us this tape. This is incredible. What a shame.Talia : What' s a shame?Tony: Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? He's the star forward on our national team.Talia : Of course. Everyone's heard of him, I think.Tony : Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Crawford talks about how he needs money.Amy: That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately. I've heard all sorts of gossip about that.Tony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000. Talia : What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and couldn't play in that game?Talia : Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated. Tony : Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy : You mean, he won't get to play in the next match?Tony: Exactly. And without him, we'll probably lose again.Amy: Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony : Talia, that's your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you'd better find out fast.Tapescript of Video 2Talia : OK. I'll get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, we'll run the tape on tonight's broadcast—before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copy of this tape.Talia : Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. We shouldn't give away our only one.Tony: Good thinking. Amy ... handle this with care.Amy: Absolutely!Talia : See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I'm on it.Tony : Is there a problem?Talia : Not exactly. I'll do it. It's just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony: You do?Talia: Yes. We went to college together. It's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony: Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's been a star on the national team for four years now. People do crazy things when they get famous. Talia: I just can't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. You're a good researcher, and one day—I hope —you'll be a great reporter. But don't let your emotions get in the way of your work.If you do, I'll have to find someone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job For TaliaVideo Listening 1Woman‟s voice on tape: We‟ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick‟s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman‟s voice on tape: That‟s right. Do that, and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick‟s voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You‟ve got yourself a deal.Woman‟s voice on tape: Great. It‟s a pleasure doing business with you.Tony: How‟s it going?Talia: I can‟t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too, when will we have the results?Talia: He‟s going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I‟ve been a researcher here for three years. I‟ve investigated other scandals. But something here doesn‟t seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn‟t make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career?Tony: That‟s a good question. How well do you k now Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours? Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters. Tony: Oh, that‟s it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about 10 years ago.I know that he‟s smart. And I know that he‟s always dreamed of being a great soccer star. Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video Listening 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else.Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That‟s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I don‟t know…Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, you‟re not a reporter yet, you …re still a researcher. Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I‟ll give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won‟t be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right? Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you‟ll let me report it, won‟t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a break. I know th at. I‟ll tell you what: come up with something big and the story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy… I hear he can be very charming. Don‟t let him charm you out ofa story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo Listening 1Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don‟t I?Talia: Yes. I‟m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia: After all these years, I‟m surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class to gether, weren‟t we? Talia: Tha‟s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer‟s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don‟t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn‟t we?Talia: Yes, that‟s right. As I recall, you did really well on it.Nick: That‟s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: Not exactly. I‟m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people aren‟t my favourite people right now. I heard there‟s a nasty story coming out about me. Something about me throwing a game?Talia: That‟s why I‟m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I‟d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don‟t trust me, do you? Nick: Nope. You‟re in the news business. You‟re all alike.Talia: Hey, don‟t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn‟t I? Really.You can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend. After that I will deal with this mess.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That‟s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That‟s impossible.Talia: No, it‟s not. That‟s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn‟t you take the money? Did you or didn‟t you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers? Which story do you really want? Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the truth is, I didn‟t do it. I‟m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationVideo Listening 1Talia: OK, let‟s get this straight. You‟re one of the country‟s best soccer players…Nick:Well, I have to admit —that's true. Of course, some people think that‟s not such a great achievement.Talia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a sprained（扭伤）ankle. I could hardly walk, I certainly couldn‟t play.Talia: But your coach can‟t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can‟t see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia: You can‟t?Nick: No.Talia:I see…Nick:You don‟t have to believe me, but it‟s the truth. I sat out the first roundqualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia:And not because you took a bribe.Nick: A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia:Then can you explain the tape?Nick:What tape?Talia:Listen to this.Woman’s voice on tape: We‟ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick’s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman’s voice on tape: That‟s right. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick’s voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You‟ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It‟s a pleasure doing business with you.Video Listening 2Nick:It sure sounds like my voice, but I don‟t know why. Why would I do something so stupid? Talia:That‟s what I want to know.Nick:Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game!Coach:I know all about it. Who is this?Nick:This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean:Hey.Coach:Hi.Talia:Nice to meet you both.Coach:Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia:Sure.Coach:Look. I don‟t think it‟s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, you‟ve got that right.Nick:Coach, I just don‟t get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach:Well, we‟re going to find that out. Now, I don‟t want to worry you, Nick, but I‟ve been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick:What do you mean?Coach:They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean:No!Nick:They can‟t do that!Coach:Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don‟t think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1Talia: I don‟t think he did it.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: Nick. I don‟t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia: Well, for one thing, he told me he‟s innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia: As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something… Something is funny here. He‟s a soccer star. Making money is not a problem for him.Amy: But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.Tony: And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I‟ve seen a lot of people do stupid things. Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense. Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick‟s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I‟m not going to stop investigating. There mightVideo 2Tony: You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice.We‟re going with this story tonight. If we don‟t, the competition may beat us to it. Amy: You‟ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn‟t look good.Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren‟t always as they seem. Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia: I just don‟t think that‟s true in this case.Tony: You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you‟re all right working on this by yourself? Maybe you should work with JohnDonnelly.Talia: No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I‟d be fair. I promised you I wouldn‟t let my emotions color my judgment. And I promised myself I‟ d do a good job.Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I‟m giving the story to John.Talia: Thanks, Tony. I‟ll be fine. You won‟t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement DealVideo 1 TranscriptTalia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you?

Fifty thousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before the qualifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick:So?Talia:So?

They‟re coming out6 next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7 than your old shoes.More comfortable, too.And they’re less expensive than they look.Come and get your Kicks8!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent9? I wanna confirm10this “endorsement deal”.Nick:Except11, I didn‟t use an agent.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!12Video 2 transcriptNick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia:Ooh, here comes another story.Nick:It was about 10 o‟clock one morning.

I‟ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes. OK, I‟ll call her. You know, on second thought18, I‟d rather pay her a visit19.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1 Transcript (1’41’’)Talia: Hello. I‟m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:Hmmm.

Josh‟s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He‟s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive②. So convincing③. I‟m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you‟re no fool. Don‟t be so hard on yourself④.Talia:But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you‟d break this big story⑤and become the top⑥reporter at the station. Then I‟d be your assistant, and you‟d give me a raise⑦.Talia:I‟m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I‟m so depressed⑧.Amy:Don‟t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford? I‟m Amy Lee.Nick:And I‟m here to talk to Talia.Amy:Uh, I don‟t think you can speak to her now.Nick:But I‟ve got to talk to her. I know who‟s responsible for this mess.Talia:I‟ve heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don‟t have to speak to you. I‟ll give my story to that other reporter, what‟s-his-name? John Donnelly.Video 2 ScriptTalia: I‟ll give you two minutes.Nick: You won‟t be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That‟s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn‟t lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We‟ve got reservations for lunch.Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It‟s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there.Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It‟s so much more pleasant to talk over a good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we‟II pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked⑨me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way⑩. Dean is the next in line⑾to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I‟m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I‟ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo 1 ScriptNick: Oh, good, you‟re here. Coach, I…ve been trying to speak to you since last night. This whole scandal is because ...Coach: Nick, Nick, we‟ve been working together for four years now. You‟re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel like we're family①.Nick: Thanks, Coach. Me, too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down②.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up③for me, then?Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved④, too. They somehow⑤made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you‟re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game? Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you? Nick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he‟s always in my shadow⑥. He wants you to kick me off the team⑦so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I…ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two.I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days.They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy⑧. Tough rap⑨you‟re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened. Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up⑩that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed⑾. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You're talking crazy now.Nick: It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out. Dean: Wow, Nick. You've, uh, you've made up⑿quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off⒀. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: Yeah? Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well, you're not so popular now, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

Unit 1 Another Busy dayVideo Listening 1Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, y o u'r e working too hard.Talia: I know. I always work this hard. Maybe you could mention that to Tony? I don't think he knows it.Amy: Is that a new hairstyle? I t's very ... unique.Talia: Very funny. I had to work late last night. I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood, and Id o n't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you' re not a reporter yet.Talia: You think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding ...Talia: You may be right.Amy: Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class. Talia: Oh, no! Our journalism class! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework? Amy: Compare two news stories on the same topic.Talia: T h a i's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I II do it after work. Amy: You work too hard.Video Listening 2Amy: Why do n't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party?Talia: No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy: Come on! Josh Taylor is having a party. A lot of available guys will be there.... You might meetsomeone.Talia: No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me ...Tony: Good, y ou'r e here. I have something important to talk to you about. What are you working on?Talia: I'm researching the background information for that transportation story.Amy: She' s always working. She told me to tell you that.Tony: I have a big project for you to work on. I know you've been hoping for a break. This may be it.Talia: Really? That's great!Tony: Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you clone something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsVideo Listening 1Tony : Someone sent us th is tape. This is incredible. What a shame.Talia : What's a shame?Tony : Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? H e's the star forward on our national team.Talia : Of course. Everyone's heard of him, I think.Tony : Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Cr awford talks about how he needs money.Amy：That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately. I've heard all sorts of gossip about that.Tony : Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000. Talia : What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and c o u l d n't play in that game?Talia : Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated, Tony : Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy : You mean, he won' t get to play in the next match?Tony : Exactly. And without him, we' II probably lose again.Amy : Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony : Talia, that' s your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you' d better find out fast.Video Listening 2Talia : OK. I' II get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, w e'l l run the tape on t o n i g h t's broadcast before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copy of this tape.Talia: Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. We s h o u l d n't give away our only one.Tony : Good thinking. Amy ... handle this with care.Amy : Absolutely!Talia: See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I' m on it.Tony : Is there a problem?Talia : Not exactly. I'l l do it. It’s just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony : You do?Talia : Yes. We went to college together. I t's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony : Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's been a star on the national team for four years now. People do crazy things when they get famous. Talia : I just c a n't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. Y o u'r e a good researcher, and one day I hope y o u'l l be a great reporter. But d o n't let your emotions get in the way of your work.If you do, I' II have to find someone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job for TaliaVideo Listening 1Woman's voice on tape: We'll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick's voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman's voice on tape: That' s right. Do that, and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick's voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. You've got yourself a deal. Woman's voice on tape: Great. It's a pleasure doing business with you.Tony: How's it going?Talia: I can' t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too. When will we have the results?Talia: He's going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I've been a researcher here for three years. I've investigated other scandals. But something here doesn't seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn't make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career?Tony: T h a t's a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours? Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters. Tony: Oh, t h a t's it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about10 years ago. I know that h e's smart. And I know that h e's always dreamed of beinga great soccer star.Tony: Mm hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video Listening 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else!Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That' s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I d o n't know ...Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, y o u'r e not a reporter yet, you're still a researcher. Remember? Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I'l l give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won't be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you’ll let me report it, won" t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything? Tony: You deserve a break. I know that. I'l l tell you what: come up with something big and t h e story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy ... I hear he can be very charming. D o n't let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 1Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don’t I?Talia:Yes. I’m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia:After all these years, I’m surprised you remember me.Nick:How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class together, weren’t we? Talia: Tha’s righ t, the Shakespeare class.Nick:Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia:Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick:We studied together for the final, didn’t we?Talia:Yes, that’s right. As I recall, you did really we ll on it.Nick:That’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia:Not exactly. I’m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people a ren’t my favourite people right now. I heard there’s a nasty story coming out about me. Something about me throwing a game?Talia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do you?Nick:Nope. You’re in the news business. You’re all alike.Talia:Hey, don’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I? Rea lly.You can trust me.Nick:Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend.After that I will deal with this mess.Talia:Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick:That’s impossible.Talia:No, it’s not. That’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn’t you take the money? Did you or didn’t you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers? Which story do you really want? Take your pick.Talia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick:Well, the truth is, I didn’t do it. I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationTalia : OK, let's get this straight. You’re one of the country's best soccer players.Nick : Well, I have to admit—that' s true. Of course, some people think that' s not such a great achievement.Talia : Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick : Not just for some reason. I had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. You can't see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia : You can't?Nick : No.Talia :I see ...Nick : You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia : And not because you took a bribe?Nick : A bribe? How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia : Then can you explain the tape?Nick : What tape?Talia : Listen to this.(Voice on tape)Woman: We' II pay you fifty thousand pounds.Nick: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman : That's right. Do that and fifty thousand pounds is yours.Nick: Well, I could really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupid? Talia: That's what I want to know.Nick:Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game!Coach: I know all about it. Who is this?Nick:This is an old friend of mine from college, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean: Hey.Coach: Hi.Talia: Nice to meet you both.Coach: Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia:Sure.Coach: Look. I don't think it's such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, you've got that right.Nick: Coach, I just don't get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach:Well, we' re going to find that out. Now, I don't want to worry you, Nick, but I've been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick: What do you mean?Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean: No!Nick: They can't do that!Coach:Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don't think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1Talia:I don't think he did it.Tony:What do you mean?Talia:Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia:No for one thing, he told me he was innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia:As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something…Something is funny here. He’s a soccer star. Making money is not a problem for him.Amy:But gambling may be a problem for him.Tony:Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy:He might owe a lot of people money.Tony:And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I’ve seen a lot of people do stupid things. Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense. Talia:But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony:We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy:Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollarsin his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia:Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice.W’re going with this story tonight. If we don’t, the competition may beat us to it. Amy:You’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn’t look good.Talia:I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem. Tony:And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia:I just don’t think that’s true in this case.Tony:You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you’re all right working on this by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly. Talia:No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I’d be fair. I promised you I wouldn’t let my emotions color my judgment. And I promised myself I’d do a good job.Tony:OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John.Talia:Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. You won’t be sorry.Unit 7 Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No, actually, I prefer to stand.Nick:Ok. Whatever. So now what’s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in you bank account just before the qualifying match.Fifty thousand dollars!Nick: So?Talia: So? So, that’s exactly the amount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game. Nick: It is also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing a new line of athletic shoes. Talia:Oh, really?Nick:Yes, really. They’re going to be called Kicks. They are coming out next year. “Kicks: they are cooler than your old shoes. More comfortable, too. And they are less expensive than they look. Come and get your kicks!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent? I want to confirm this endorsement deal.Nick:Except, I didn’t use an agent.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!Video 2Nick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here. Jackie: E xcuse me. Aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick:Yes, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie: No. not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I am the VP of marketing for Kicks Shoes. Nick: Uh-huh.Jackie:And I have a very interesting proposition for you.Nick:Keep going, I am listening.Jackie: Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say, 12:30. we can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you all about the deal.Nick:She offered me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s it?Nick: Basically.Talia:Hmm.Nick:Well, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes, OK. I’ll call her. You know on second thought, I’d rather pay her a visit.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1Talia:Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:hmmm. I don’t think…I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia:No, I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker.Receptionist: …no, definitely not. There’s no one by that name.Talia:This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia:Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I didn’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long,I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was anarchitect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you are not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No, no. the name is Jackie Baker. She is a VP at kicks shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you are talking about. Kicks shoes? Hold on a second, I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of kicks shoes and they are not in our directory. Are you sure you are in the right place?Talia:No. I’m nor sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2Talia: Oh, no. my cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist: you seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone?Talia:I don’t know. Maybe. Probably…yes.Receptionist: I n that case, be my guest. Just dial 9 first.Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone’s in big trouble.Nick:Hello.Talia: Hello, nick. It’s Talia. Remember me?Nick: Of course I remember you.Talia: I wasn’t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts. Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, did n’t I?Talia:There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve never even heard of kicks shoes.Nick:That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building.Talia: That’s right.Nick:But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line, you’re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No help for NickVideo 1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry. But there's no Jackie Baker here.Nick : Do you mind if I look at that?Receptionist: Not at all. Have a look. Let me guess. You're Nick.Nick: That's right, but ... how did you know?Receptionist: Oh, you' re famous!Nick : Oh. Do you follow soccer?Receptionist: Soccer? No, never watch it. I was listening when that woman called you. I over heard everything.Nick : Well, that's great.Receptionist: She was really angry. Wow!Nick : I know. I know. Say, do you know what time it is?Receptionist : Nearly five. I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived.Nick : I t's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hour.Video Listening 2Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you?Nick: Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks?Receptionist:Excuse me?Nick:Kicks shoes. May I speak to someone else at Kicks shoes?Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there’s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before today.Nick:I don’t understand.Receptionist:Cheer up. Things can’t be as bad as they seem.Nick:No?Receptionist:Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me.Nick:Great. Thanks. She’s, uh, about as tall as you are. She’s got long black hair.She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met her here.She looked like an executive.Receptionist:And she’s got blue eyes?Nick:Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I gel for you?Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie?Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great.Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field.Patty: Really?Nick: Yeah. It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind making it louder? I need to catch up on the news.Patty : No problem.Reporter on TV: Let' s see if he' s got some comments about this scandal. Hey, Dean!What do you think about the Nick Crawford scandal?Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.Reporter on TV: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing;Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. /' m sure they' II decide as soon as they have more information.Reporter: What kind of information do you think they' II need to find?Dean : It's hard to say ...Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her!Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video 2Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever acted in anything.Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She's a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance.Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear... Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.Unit 11 The Truth RevealedVideo 1 ScriptTalia: I’m so glad I went to that class last night. It was really interesting.Amy:Well, Talia, you do look a little better today.Talia: Well, I don’t feel much better.Amy:You know what? You missed a great party the other night. Josh’s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He’s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing. I’m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself.Talia: But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you’d break this big story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise. Talia: I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed.Amy:Don’t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford? I’m Amy Lee.Nick:And I’m here to talk to Talia.Amy:Uh, I don’t think you can speak to her now.Nick:But I’ve got to talk to her. I know who’s responsible for this mess.Talia: I’ve heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don’t have to speak to you. I’ll give my story to that other reporter, what’s-his-name? John Donnelly.Video 2 ScriptTalia: I’ll give you two minutes.Nick: You won’t be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That’s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn’t lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We’ve got reservations for lunch.Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It’s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there.Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It’s so much more pleasant to talk overa good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we’ll pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I’m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I’ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo 1 ScriptNick: Oh, good, you’re here. Coach, I‘ve been trying to speak to you since last night.This whole scandal is because ...Coach: Nick, Nick, we’ve been working together for four years now. You’re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel like we're family.Nick: Thanks, Coach. Me, too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for me, then?Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you’re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game?Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you?Nick: Just think about it. Dean i s a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I‘ve been wor king with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two. I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days. They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you’re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened.Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You're talking crazy now.Nick: It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out. Dean: Wow, Nick. You've, uh, you've made up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: Yeah? Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well, you're not so popular now, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

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 keep fit – 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.

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 t hatI’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 unfortu nately I don’t have time and it is alittle 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, 1940sjazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way of keeping fit, andyou meet a lot of people.Part 4F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthyM1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth.

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 futureW: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space.

It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pillsW: 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 exampleW: 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 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 workW: 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 …ViewingB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

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 healthywith regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three eventsW: 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 time s 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 people from the triathlon are swimming there all at the same time!Q1: Why did the woman decide to do a triathlonQ2: When did the man first do a triathlonQ3: How does the man feel about runningQ4: Why doesn’t the woman like swimming in the triathlonPassage 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 most exciting 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 toimprove 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 happierQ2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelingsQ4: What is the main idea of the passagePassage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the number 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 goodhealth.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.。

The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.Talia: Still. I can't imagine...Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story. Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.Script 2Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you?Amy: How about a large iced tea?Patty: Coming right up.Amy: ... and a little information.Patty: What kind of information?Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop.

Too bad.Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I rememberseeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university. Maybe you could catch up with her there.Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university?Patty: Mmm-hmm.Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.Patty : Oh, likewise! Thanks!Unit 3Script 1Amy: Talia, are you almost here?Talia: I’m about ten minutes away. Can you see her?Amy: Yes. She’s sitting on a sofa. Hurry up. Classes start in about 20 minutes.

Amy: Oh, yeah. I can do a little acting myself, if that’s what you mean.Talia: So go act like a drama student, and go and talk to her. I’ll be right there. Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class.

He’s going to introduce me to him.Amy: Oh, that’s great! Oh, wait, is your brother that soccer player…?Jackie: Dean Bishop! That’s right! He’s my elder brother. We just adore eachother! He’s a soccer star, and I’m going to be a movie star! Tonight he’s taking me out for a celebration.Amy: Tonight? Really? What are you celebrating?Jackie: Oh, just … this thing. Nothing really.

I'm taking acting classes, like Amy. Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late for Professor Roberts.Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you.Jackie: Really?Talia: Yes. The Gower Building.Script 2Talia : Don't you work for a shoe company?

She's booked a special table.Talia : This is perfect. Great work. You should be proud of yourself.Amy : Thanks, but it was nothing. Piece of cake, in fact.Talia : OK, then. You call Valentino's and make a reservation for two.Amy: Oh, wow. Are we going to Valentino's?Talia : Oops ... no. I was planning on calling Nick.Amy: I see.Talia : Thanks for being understanding.Amy : After I call Valentino's, is there anything else you want me to do?Talia : Yes. I'm going to need your help.

We just need to plant this at their table.Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?Talia: You forget—I’m a researcher… I asked the maitred’. That’s their table over there. I’ll be right back.Nick: OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while you plant the mike.Talia: Good. Just cough or something to warn me if you see them.Nick: OK. Hurry up. [Nick coughs!]Talia: Whew! That was close... Here. Look at the menu. We should order. Nick: Right, though I’m not really hungry.Talia: Neither am I.Dean: One more.Nick: Don’t look now, but here comes Jackie.Unit 6Jackie: You are not going to believe what happened.Dean: I've been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven't you called me back?Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk...Jackie: Dean, don't interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So...Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here...Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!Dean: OK. I give up. What?Jackie: So this woman Amy Ask someone not to interrupt you and I were talking when a friend of hers showed up. Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.Dean: So?Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...Dean: How does she know about...Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.Dean: Newsline ?Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you.Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea! Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!Script 2Jackie: OK. I'll calm down. But, Dean, I'm worried. I could get into real trouble. Dean: You? Why, I'm the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.Dean: Big deal.Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended!Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters? Dean: Byron Walters?Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember?

They admitted everything.Talia: And we got it all on tape.Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me?Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I mentioned Kicks shoes.

If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.Nick: Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…Talia: I gu ess you’re right.Nick: Why don’t you finish dinner?Talia; … But if we leave now, Tony will still be in the office.Nick: Look, Talia.

And I am with a star!Script 2Nick: I have a confession to make.Talia: What? You have a confession to make? I thought this whole thing was over. Nick: No, no. It’s not about that. It’s about… .Talia: Us? Us, as in you and me.Nick: Yes. Do you remember that class we took together in college?Talia: Of course, I remember it. I remember it well.Nick: And do you remember when we were studying together in the library… Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer.

Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on. Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?T alia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.Tony: You probably just pressed "play".Talia: This is a disaster.Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way. Amy: Poor Talia.Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?Unit 9Script 1Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.Talia: Didn’t you get my message?Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...Nick: What are you talking about?Talia: The tape.

And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons!

Script 2Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.Talia: You’re right.

Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.Talia: How can you stay so positive?Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10Script 1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough Talia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It'samazing.How easily you can get people's addresses these days.

One that will make us all really famous? Talia: What's the catch?Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.Script 2Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK?

I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nickusually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsementTalia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time. Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.Unit 11Script 1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say. Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I thin k this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to. Script 2Amy: You must be very happy.Nick: I really am. My name has been cleared. I’m really relieved. This has been a nightmare!Tony: Now that the truth has come out, how about giving Newsline an exclusive interview?Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview.Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile. Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know. Like, now you can see Jackie Bishop on TV all the time!Nick: Yup, in that ridiculous toothpaste commercial. Well, I guess things have worked out for her.Patty: Seems so. And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right? I mean, you did sco re the winning goal in the qualifying match.Nick: Yes, but unfortunately, we DIDN’T make itPatty: No, but there’s always next time.Nick: That’s right, there’s always next time…Patty: Oh, you know who else I see on TV a lot now? That reporter who broke the story. What’s her name again? Talia something?Nick: Talia Santos. Yeah, I heard she’s been working really hard. I haven’t had a chance to see her much lately. And now she’s going to be moving.Patty: It sounds like you need to speak with her.Nick: Yo u’re right, Patty. I’ll see you later.Patty: Bye, Nick. Hey! Let me know how things turn out.Script 2Talia: Nick! Hi! I’ve been meaning to call you.Nick: Oh, hi. Well, Amy called me. She told me the news.

I’m listening.Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?Nick: What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.Talia: Good. Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...
