With a shower, please.Assistant I can get you rooms in budget hotels and motels for around 75 dollars a night.Mark Does the price include breakfast?Assistant Let me see. Yes, I can do that for you.Mark What time is check-out?Assistant Usually midday... Do you have a student card? You’ll need it for the cheap flights and the accommodation.

Can you get me a seat from New York to Boston, traveling on the 12th of August? And then one from New York to Chicago on the 17th? After Chicago I’m going to DC and then back to New York, but I’ll get those tickets when I’m in the States.

I’m too busy. You can go if you promise to tell me all about it.Speaker 1 OK.Speaker 2 Oh, and get me some photos of kangaroos and koalas. I’d love to see them.Voice-over So here I am in Australia. How about a few facts to start with? Australia is the largest “island” in the world. There are over 27,000 kilometres of coastline. It’s the world’s smallest continent, but the sixth largest country. Its population is only 20 million, so there’s a lot of space. This is Perth on t he west coast. It’s famous for its black swans. If you come here, you’ll definitely want to go sailing. This is Uluru, or Ayers Rock.This amazing rock formation is in the traditional lands of the original inhabitants of Australia -the Aborigines.Their rock paintings have been preserved here for centuries. If you want sun, sea and sand, Queensland is the place to be. This is where you can find the famous Great Barrier Reef. It’s the world’s largest natural feature and is 2,300 kilometres long. Sydney is Au stralia’s biggest city with over four million people -nearly a quarter of the entire population. The Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are famous landmarks. If you like surfing, you’ll have to visit the world-famous Bondi Beach. The smallest state is the Australian Capital Territory around the city of Canberra, which is the capital of Australia. And finally, this is Melbourne -a lively city in the southeast. I did promise pictures of koalas and kangaroos. Are these OK?Listening inPassage 1Part 1Matt So how was your visit to the USA? How did you get on?Caroline Well, it was great. A bit difficult at the start, but it got better.Matt So what happened?Caroline Well, I started my trip in New York, but the trouble was I forgot to ring my friend Dave before I left London and ask him to meet me. Then, just as the plane was landing at New York airport, this French businessman sitting next to me called Serge, gave me a warning, “You shouldn’t arrive in New York alone.” This made me a bit worried, but I was going tocall Dave as soon as I arrived, so I hoped I’d be OK. But when we got off the plane, I was feeling a bit nervous. As soon as I walked out into the arrivals hall this crowd of peoplesurrounded me. And when Serge disappeared, I did feel lonely and rather foolish.Matt I can see why.Caroline And when I saw a smiling group of new arrivals, you know, tourists from England, I wanted to join them. Just as I was starting to panic, someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Serge. I was so relieved.Matt Thank heavens for strange men!Caroline Exactly! But when I called Dave from Serge’s office, he was out. It was late by now so I had to find a hotel. Serge told his driver to take me to a hotel in the Bronx. As soon as I got out of the car, two policemen in a police car stopped me and asked what I was doing in the district as it was dangerous at night. And at the reception desk, when I explained that I was on my own, they didn’t want to give me a room.Matt So what did you do?Caroline Well, I had to wait at reception until the school in Albany, where I was going to work, sent an email. When the hotel knew what I was doing in the States, I got a room.Part 2Caroline Well, in the end I got in touch with Dave and spent the next few nights with his family.But it was cold, and a freezing cold wind was blowing all the time.Matt But it all went better for you after that?Caroline Well, yes, until one morning I decided to go for a walk. I was really enjoying the fresh air, when I realized that I was lost. Then I found a street, which looked like the one the flat was on ... but then I found another one, and another one.Matt Oh no! You must have been very frightened!Caroline Well, I was. I couldn’t remember the address of the flat. It was freezing cold, minus 12 degrees. I was standing by the side of the road, praying that Dave would. send out a search party when suddenly a car stopped, and the driver said, “Taxi?” I was so relieved. Within a couple of minutes I was drinking tea with Dave and the driver back home. His name was Kevin and he was on his way to work. He wasn’t a taxi driver at all.Matt Was he a friend of Dave’s?Caroline No, just someone who was going to work when he saw someone looking lost, I think.They can be very friendly, the Americans.Part3Caroline I then took the train to Albany. No one was waiting for me at the station, although the school where I was working was going to send someone. I later learnt that the person didn’t recognize me because I was wearing a thick coat and a warm hat. So I took a taxi to the school, where I met one of the other teachers, Rebecca. She invited me to stay with her. She lived in a flat near the school, which she was sharing with three other people. I didn’t have much money, because I hadn’t been paid yet, and I wasn’t living on the school campus, so I tried to find some cheap food in the evenings. There was an old man selling hot dogs on a street corner. By the end of the first week, he greeted me and had a hot dog and coffee ready for me. Ah, it was an amazing experience.Passage 2There was this man, and he’s riding his bike along the road, heading towards the border between Mexico and the United States. So he comes up to the border, and this guard stops him. And he points to two sacks the man has on his shoulders.“What’s in the bags?” says the guard.“Sand,” says the man on the bike.So the guard says, “Sand? Get them off your shoulders. We’ll take a look.”So the man on the bike did as he was told, emptied the sacks, and poured the sand on the ground.“Sure enough, it’s nothing but sand,” says the guard, and the man on the bike loads the sand back into the sacks, puts them on his shoulders and goes across the border.Anyway, two weeks later, the man on the bike turns up at the border again, on his bike with two sacks on his shoulders.So the guard says, “What’s in the sacks?” The man takes them off his shoulders, pours the sand onto the ground, puts the sand back in the sacks, puts the sacks on his shoulders, gets back on his bike and goes across the border.This goes on every week for six months, man on the bike, guard at the border, sacks on the man’s shoulders, sand on the ground, sand back in the sacks, man across the border ... until one day the man on the bike with the sand bags doesn’t turn up.A few days later, the guard happens to meet the man on the bike downtown. “Say friend, you sure made us crazy,” says the guard. “We knew you were smuggling something across the border.I won’t say a word - but what is it you were smuggling?”The man on the bike say s, “Bicycles!”Passage 3Speaker 1I don’t know if I’ve told you, but apparently this is a true story. There’s this small airline somewhere in New Zealand, I think, and it uses planes that carry about seven or eightpassengers. So you sit just behind the pilot and get a really good view.Speaker 2 Yeah, I get the picture.Speaker 1 Anyway, the passengers are told to board the plane, and they climb in, you know, not much room. And they sit there waiting. A few minutes later the last passenger, a really cool-looking guy, turns up and takes his seat, and they all wait for the pilot to arrive and take off. And they wait. And they wait some more. And they’re still waiting, not long, you know, a few minutes, but just enough to make them wonder where the pilot is. Then the cool-looking guy at the back starts looking at his watch, and saying, “Well, where’s the pilot? We’re going to be late.” And they wait a bit longer, and the guy says, “I’ve got some people to meet, and I don’t want to miss my appointment.” And they wait some more, and the pilot still doesn’t turn up. So this guy says, “Right, I’m not going to wait any longer, if we don’t have a pilot, I’m going to take off and fly this plane myself.Speaker 2 What?Speaker 1 Exactly, and everyone is going ... duh? W hat’s happening? And this guy gets into the pilot seat, turns on the engine, starts heading for the runway ... and takes off.Speaker 2 I don’t believe it!Speaker 1 Yeah, well nor did the passengers. But the funny thing is ...Speaker 2 What?Speaker 1Apparently, the cool-looking guy really is the pilot. He plays the same trick on passengers fairly often because he gets bored with doing the same flight every day.。

外研社版学术英语综合U n i t8译文-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1第八单元全球化Text A从柏柏尔人到巴赫的全球化之路马友友作为职业大提琴手已有三十余年，其间有整整二十个年头都一直奔波在巡演的路上，与此同时，我也致力于了解各种音乐的传统与文化。
正是这些旅途让我认识到文化传统在全球化的世界中所扮演的角色——为个体身份、社会安定与友好交流建立至关重要的框架。
当今世界变化日新月异，这必然会导致文化上的不稳定，人们也不禁对自身的定位产生疑问。
在全球化背景下，我们不得不屈从于他人的规则，因此常常会威胁到个体的特性。
这种处境令我们不安，因为屈从他人规则就意味着不得不改变我们坚守数千年并引以为傲的风俗习惯。
因此，当前全球化背景下的领导者们所面临的一个关键问题就是：如何才能在不牺牲个体特性与文化自豪感的同时，让各种文化和习俗逐渐发展到能够适应一个更大的平台呢这些年的音乐之旅告诉我，全球化进程中的交流互动并不只会破坏文化，相反，它不仅能创造新的文化，而且还会为那些存在了几世纪的古老传统注入新的活力，使其被世界上更多的人熟知。
这一点与生态学上的群落“边缘效应”类似，后者本身是用来描述两个不同的生态系统交汇时的景象。
例如，在森林与大草原这两种生态系统的交界之处，存在着密度最小但种类最多的生命形态，而每一种形态都汲取了两种生态系统的精髓。
由此可见，有时候最有趣的事情往往发生在边缘地带，而交叉地带往往能够揭示出意想不到的联系。
文化，就像是聚集了世界各地瑰宝的拼图。
探索世界的途径之一正是深入地挖掘文化传统的核心。
举一个音乐领域的例子，每一位大提琴手的核心曲目都是巴赫的《无伴奏大提琴组曲》。
而每一个组曲的核心都是一种叫做萨拉班德舞（sarabande）的舞曲。
这种缓慢而感性的舞曲最早来自于北非柏柏尔人的音乐，随后流传到西班牙，但因当时人们认为曲子猥亵而遭到禁止。
后来西班牙人将这种舞曲又带到美洲，继而流传到了法国，在那里演化为一种庄严的宫廷舞蹈。
