到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时 的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生 都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
Para. 3b
Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, “No! No! No!” It didn’t take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English. 每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上 下挥舞着大喊：“错 ! 错 ! 错!”没有多久，我便 不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐 趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。

Nice to meet you.Kate Hi, I'm Kate.Mark Hi Kate, I guess you're from the States.Kate Right! How can you tell? You're British, huh?Mark Yes, I'm from London. And you are ...?Janet I'm Li Hui. I'm from China. But you can call me Janet.Mark Hi Janet. Welcome to England. What are you reading?Janet English.Mark How about you, Kate?Kate My major is law. And you?Mark I'm studying PPE.Kate That's a special Oxford subject, isn't it?Outside viewJulie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College. Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College.Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions.Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight.Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice.Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations.Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University.Listening inPassage 1Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right? Professor That's right, yes.Interviewer Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor In total there are eight institutions: There's Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer Ah, OK. And what's the sporting ... I believe there's some link with sports.Professor There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn't possible to be bothworld-famous for research and also top class in sport.Interviewer And what about their academic importance? I gather they're academically very, very important, they're very well-known.Professor Absolutely at the top. They're near or at the top of the USA colleges and university rankings. And they're almost always in the top one per cent of the world's academic institutions for financial resources. Interviewer And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?Professor Certainly if you've been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of the scale. The Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon, protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.Interviewer And do you know ... why's it called the Ivy League, what's the origin of the name?Professor There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it's based on four universities, and IV, the letters IV, that's the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s. Interviewer Right, OK. And which is the oldest university?Professor The oldest goes back to the 17th century, that's Harvard which was founded in 1636. And the youngest of the institutions is Cornell which was founded in 1865.Interviewer And which has the largest number of undergraduates?Professor Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.Interviewer And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?Professor That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.Interviewer And any famous alumni? Famous old boys?Professor Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over the world would certainly be George Bush who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who was at Harvard.Interviewer Thank you.Passage2Andy Did you see the film on television last night?Jane No, I was out. What was it?Andy A Beautiful Mind. It's about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane I've heard about that film, yes. He's played by Russell Crowe, isn't he? I like Russell Crowe, he's great. Andy That's the one, yes.Jane What's it about?Andy Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash's life at Princeton University as a graduate student.Jane That's one of the Ivy League schools, isn't it?Andy Yes, it's all set in New England, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. It's lovely to look at.Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he's looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.Jane So he's not interested in having fun?Andy Well, yes, but he's not very good with people or successful with women, that's all. But, you know, it's one of these bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.Jane No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?Andy That's about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.Jane Ah! At last, the love interest!Andy Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he's been asked to work by William Parcher for the US Department of Defense on breaking Soviet codes. At one point he's chased by the Russians, and it's after this that he becomes mentally ill.Jane I think I've seen this in the trailer to the film.Andy So when he's put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He's given this painful treatment which affects his relationship with his wife. And his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine.Jane It sounds quite hard to watch.Andy Well, it is, but it's well acted and directed, and so, you know, there's a-bit of distance between the audience and what's happening on film.Jane So what happens next?Andy Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated, because we're no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash's mind.Jane That sounds awful. He must have been so ill,Andy Actually, I'm kind of giving away the twist in the story. Anyway, later in his life, while he's using the library at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again. And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.Jane Well, it sounds like a great film.Andy Yes, you should see it sometime.Unit 3 Learning to thinkInside viewConversation 1Mark Hi, what're you doing?Janet Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.Mark Let's have a look then.Janet Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go? Mark OK, might as well. I'm not busy.Janet Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?Mark Yea.Janet OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?Mark True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.Janet You're right, exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual memory.Mark That sounds about right. True?Janet No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory.Mark Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.Janet Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.Mark That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired.Janet Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.Mark I'm not sure ... True?Janet Actually, it's false.Mark Oh!Janet Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.Mark I read something in The Times about that. True.Janet True, it says here.Mark Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!Janet Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!Conversation 2Kate You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?Janet Well... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.Kate You're telling me! There's so much work!Janet It's not the amount of work - but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult.Kate You have to memorize a lot, don't you?Janet Yes, but I'm good at that.Kate You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do.Janet Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking.Kate What do you mean by critical thinking?Janet Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.Kate Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.Janet I am getting better at it, I suppose.Kate Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then ask questions.Janet OK.Kate Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question!Janet Why do you say that?Kate That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.Janet Can you give an example of some research?Kate Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.Outside viewPart 1Teacher Good morning, class.Students Good morning.Teacher What we're going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. Now have any of you heard about mind maps before?Students Yes ... No ...Teacher Yes. Some of you have, some of you haven't. OK. Have any of you actually used mind maps in the past? Students No ...Teacher No? OK. Who can tell me what a mind map is?Student 1 It's a way of thinking.Teacher It is a way of thinking. Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize or structure our ideas related to a topic. What I'd like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. What are some of the reasons for using mind maps?Student 2 To make a list?Teacher To make a list? Yes. We could say to brainstorm ideas. Everyone contributes then-ideas as many ideas as quickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. OK, brainstorming is one of the most important um, um, uses of mind maps. What might be another use or another reason for using mind maps?Student 3 It can help me take notes in the class.Teacher OK, for the note-taking, a very good reason. Mind maps help us to get an overview or a, a quick understanding about a subject. By using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, a very general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly.What are some other uses of mind maps?Student 4 Preparing for exams?Teacher OK. Preparing for exams. That's a, a very good reason. We might call this, er, revision. Before an exam,after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about the subject. Are there any other uses that you can think of for mind mapping?Student 5 We can also use it for finding answers.Teacher For finding answers. That's, that's a very good, good answer. We could call this problem-solving. We can use mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives, or options to, to, to solve a problem. OK. Next, I'd like us to talk about some of the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing everything on a piece of paper. One of the most obvious advantages, as you can see, is that mind maps are very visual. They give us um, almost a picture, a, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way. Are there any other advantages that you can think of for mind mapping?Student 4 It lists the main points.Teacher They do. They do list the main points. We could call this um, a quick summary. As you can see, we have main ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts. And in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key connections for mind maps or for our given subject. Are there any other advantages you can think of? Student 1 To think creatively.Teacher To think creatively. That's, that's a very good point. We could call this creative thinking. And what we mean here is basically thinking outside of the box or thinking laterally. Mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.Part2Teacher Next, I'd like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps. So far we have completed three quarters of our mind map about mind maps. And then I'd just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about.Student 2 There is a centre.Teacher There is a centre. There is what we call a central word, a central word or a phrase. It might also be a sentence or a question. You might have that in the centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. What else do you notice about the design of this mind map?Student 1 There are only words, not sentences.Teacher Exactly. There are many what we call key words as they capture the main thought of, of an issue rather than a long sentence or, or a passage. This helps us to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as well. What other aspects of design do you notice here?Student 5 It looks like a tree.Teacher It does look like a tree because it has branches. By having branches, it shows how, um, thinking is radiating out or spiraling out from key ideas or central ideas to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. Are there any other aspects of design which you notice in this particular map?Student 2 You used a lot of colours.Teacher I did. I perhaps use too many colours. I have used different colour to show the different key words or different aspects of mind mapping. You might like to use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map or key information. Or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. It's very much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan your thinking. You might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the key words. Or you might even use symbols. We'll put a question mark because this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. For example, I might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or identifying my central phrase, mind maps. This could be a, a feature of my own mind maps. Whenever I design a mind map, I highlight my central thought using a speech bubble symbol.Listening inPassage 1Interviewer With us today is Martin Downes, a carpenter, who's 51. A year ago, Martin had a stroke. But he's been lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. Can you tell us how it all began, Martin?Martin I'm very happy to - not that I remember much at all. I was at a customer's house, building a cupboard, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.Interviewer It must have been very frightening.Martin It was. But what was really frightening was that I couldn't speak. I couldn't say a word. And I couldn't understand much that people said to me.Interviewer How awful!Martin Yeah! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't had my family. But they were there for me, they really were. I had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. But they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. This speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. They made me do all these exercises.Interviewer What kind of exercises?Martin I had to match words and pictures and say their names. You see, I'd also forgotten the names of a lot of things. She had this thing called a word board and I could point to words and phrases on it that I wanted to say.I had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.Interviewer Could you say anything to begin with?Martin I could say three words. "Hi", "Yes" and "No". That was all. And there were a lot of words I couldn't understand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.Interviewer It must have been very frustrating.Martin It was, but I was determined to get better. I was in hospital for three and a half months. When I got home I got a special computer programme that I worked with every day. And slowly my language came back to me. It was a struggle, a big struggle. I had to learn to read and write again too.Interviewer Why do you think that you were able to recover completely? It's not that common, is it?Martin I was lucky. I was given the right drug at the right time. And I had 12 weeks of therapy, five days a week.That's very important, apparently.Interviewer And now that you're better how do you feel about your life?Martin What can I say? I'm just grateful to have my life back.Passage 2Interviewer In 1907 an Italian educator called Maria Montessori opened a school in Rome that taught young children using methods that were very different from traditional teaching. Today, the Montessori method, as it's known, is used in nursery schools in countries such as America, Canada, Britain and Germany. Recent research shows that children educated at a Montessori nursery do better later on at school than other children in all subjects. We asked two Montessori teachers, Claudia Rosella and Sarah Harrington, to explain what makes their nursery school different. Sarah...Sarah I think the first thing to say is that a Montessori classroom is very quiet, very clean. Everything stays in the same place. So the children are calm and quiet as a result.Interviewer So they're not encouraged to be noisy.Sarah No, definitely not...Interviewer Claudia?Claudia Yes, the classroom's very important. Another important principle is that children direct their own learning.They choose what they want to do.Interviewer So the teacher doesn't tell the child what to do?Sarah Not at all. While a child is doing an activity we observe them. Then we work with the child for a short time and then leave them to work on their own.Interviewer That sounds excellent. And what about your equipment? It's often made of wood, isn't it?Sarah Yes, and a piece of equipment is often designed for one activity only.Claudia Right. It's so that the child can see if they're getting something right or wrong.Interviewer So they don't need the teacher so much"?Sarah That's right. Another Montessori principle is the importance of physical activity. Children learn by doing, so when they're learning to read, for example, the letters are made of sandpaper so that children can feel the shape of the letter.Interviewer Do you think there are disadvantages with Montessori methods?Claudia Yes, there are. Maria Montessori didn't understand how important it is for children to use their imagination. If she was alive today, she would recognize that. But still, the fact is, her methods are very successful.Unit 4 Person to personInside viewConversation 1Kate Oh, I must make a quick call.Jacky Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking.Kate Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please?Jacky I'll see if she's in, can you hold on?Kate Sure.Jacky Hello?

What time?Abbie Is three o'clock OK?Kate Three's fine.Abbie OK, I'll call you then. Speak soon.Kate Bye.Abbie Bye.…Kate Abbie's my Nightline trainer.Janet You're saying she's your Nightline trainer! But she's still a student.Kate Well, experienced students train new students, that's the way it works.Janet Oh, I see.Kate It's great! At the moment, she's training us in listening skills.Janet Listening skills? What do you mean, listening skills?Kate Um ... The ability to really listen to someone and make them feel you're listening. It's very important.Janet I've never thought about that before.Kate Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differently.Janet So what you're saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words?Kate Yes. You see, when you do that, you check you've understood and you show them you're really listening.Janet So they know you've really heard them.Kate Very good, Janet. I can see you've got it already! Hi,... how's it going?Outside viewVoice-over It's the most popular means of communication in the 21st century. Nobody writes letters any more, especially young people. They all use text messaging instead. Officially called SMS - short message service - text messaging is slow to enter, and you can only key in 160 characters. So why is it such a success? The first text message was sent in 1992, but texting only became commercially available in 1995. It has grown incredibly quickly since then. Just look at the graph. In 1999, the number of texts sent reached one billion.Over the next three years, it grew to 20 billion! So people have now sent billions of texts, and the number continues to rise. It isn't difficult to see why it quickly became part of youth culture.Emily I use it every day. I don't call a lot of people on it. I just use it for text messages because it's easy and quick to send things and arrange things by text.Heidi Mainly to friends. Sometimes it's useful to get information for work as well. You know, if people want to give you contact numbers or things like that, it's easier than phoning.Andy I've had my mobile phone for about three years. I mostly use it for just texting my mates and arranging sort of social meetings with them.Alice I like texting. I don't really talk much on it except just to make arrangements but texting's the biggest thing I do.Male I probably text message about ten, 15 times a day.Alice Usually, I don't know, about ten. Ten to 15. Fifteen maybe to 20.Voice-over It isn't just young people who use texting. Companies use it too - for advertising and promotion. For example, the Orange telephone network has run a text message promotional campaign since April 2004. People text a special number on a Wednesday and receive a discount voucher by text. They show this message to any one of 450 cinemas in Britain and get two tickets for the price of one. Why Wednesday? Wednesday has always been the worst day of the week for cinemas. Since the campaign started, cinema attendance has risen on Wednesdays by nearly ten per cent. And, of course, TV uses text message voting to decide lots of things. Texting has been one of the most successful inventions for years.Listening inPassage 1John Are you packed?Mike Yup. Everything's there.John Sure you've packed your mobile?。

新标准大学英语-视听说教程第一册Listening-in听力原文
新标准大学英语-视听说教程第一册Listening-in听力原文新标准大学英语-视听说教程第一册Listening-in 听力原文Unit 1 Starting outListening inPassage 1Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right?Professor That's right, yes.Interviewer Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor In total there are eight institutions: There's Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer Ah, OK. And what's the sporting ... I believe there's some link with sports.Professor There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Nowsometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last 50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn't possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.Interviewer And what about their academic importance? I gather they're academically very, very important, they're very well-known.Professor Absolutely at the top. They're near or at the top ofthe USA colleges and university rankings. And they're almost always in the top one per cent of the world's academic institutions for financial resources.Interviewer And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?Professor Certainly if you've been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of the scale. The Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon, protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.Interviewer And do you know ... why's it called the Ivy League, what's the origin of the name?Professor There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it's based on four universities, and IV, the letters IV, that's the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s.Interviewer Right, OK. And which is the oldest university?Professor The oldest goes back to the 17th century, that's Harvard which was founded in 1636. And the youngest of the institutions is Cornell which was founded in 1865.Interviewer And which has the largest number of undergraduates?Professor Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.Interviewer And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?Professor That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.Interviewer And any famous alumni? Famous old boys?Professor Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over the world would certainly be George Bush who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who was at Harvard.Interviewer Thank you.Passage2Andy Did you see the film on television last night?Jane No, I was out. What was it?Andy A Beautiful Mind. It's about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane rve heard about that film, yes. He's played by Russell Crowe, isn't he? I like Russell Crowe, he's great.Andy That's the one, yes.Jane What's it about?Andy Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash's life at Princeton University as a graduate student.Jane That's one of the Ivy League schools, isn't it?Andy Yes, it's all set in New England, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. It's lovely to look at.Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend.Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he's looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.Jane So he's not interested in having fun?Andy Well, yes, but he's not very good with people or successful with women, that's all. But, you know, it's one of thesebad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.Jane No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?Andy That's about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.Jane Ah! At last, the love interest!Andy Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he's been asked to work by William Parcher for the US Department of Defense on breaking Soviet codes. At one point he's chased by the Russians, and it's after this that he becomes mentally ill.Jane I think I've seen this in the trailer to the film.Andy So when he's put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He's given this painful treatment which affects his relationship with his wife. And his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine. Jane It sounds quite hard to watch.Andy Well, it is, but it's well acted and directed, and so, you know, there's a-bit of distance between the audience and what's happening on film.Jane So what happens next?Andy Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated, because we're no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash's mind.Jane That sounds awful. He must have been so ill,Andy Actually, I'm kind of giving away the twist in the story.Anyway, later in his life, while he's using the library at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again. And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.Jane Well, it sounds like a great film.Andy Yes, you should see it sometime.Unit 3 Learning to thinkListening inPassage 1Interviewer With us today is Martin Downes, a carpenter, who's 51. A year ago, Martin had a stroke. But he's been lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. Can you tell us how it all began, Martin?Martin rm very happy to - not that I remember much at all. I was at a customer's house, building a cupboard, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.Interviewer It must have been very frightening.Martin It was. But what was really frightening was that I couldn't speak. I couldn't say a word. And I couldn't understand much that people said to me.Interviewer How awful!Martin Yeah! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't had my family. But they were there for me, they really were.I had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. But they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. This speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. They made me do all these exercises.Interviewer What kind of exercises?Martin I had to match words and pictures and say their names. You see, I'd also forgotten the names of a lot of things. She had this thing called a word board and I could point to words and phrases on it that Iwanted to say. I had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.Interviewer Could you say anything to begin with?Martin I could say three words. "Hi", "Yes" and "No". That was all. And there were a lot of words I couldn't understand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.Interviewer It must have been very frustrating.Martin It was, but I was determined to get better. I was in hospital for three and a half months. When I got home I got a special computer programme that I worked with every day. And slowly my language came back to me. It was a struggle, a big struggle. I had to learn to read and write again too.Interviewer Why do you think that you were able to recover completely? It's not that common, is it?Martin I was lucky. I was given the right drug at the right time. And I had 12 weeks of therapy, five days a week. That's very important, apparently.Interviewer And now that you're better how do you feel about your life?Martin What can I say? rm just grateful to have my life back.Passage 2Interviewer In 1907 an Italian educator called Maria Montessori opened a school in Rome that taught young children using methods that were very different from traditional teaching. Today, the Montessori method, as it's known, is used in nurseryschools in countries such as America, Canada, Britain and Germany. Recent research shows that children educated at a Montessori nursery do better later on at school than other children in all subjects. We asked two Montessori teachers, Claudia Rosella and Sarah Harrington, to explain what makes their nursery school different. Sarah...Sarah I think the first thing to say is that a Montessori classroom is very quiet, very clean. Everything stays in the same place. Sothe children are calm and quiet as a result.Interviewer So they're not encouraged to be noisy.Sarah No, definitely not...Interviewer Claudia?Claudia Yes, the classroom's very important. Another important principle is that children direct their own learning. They choose what they want to do.Interviewer So the teacher doesn't tell the child what to do?Sarah Not at all. While a child is doing an activity we observe them. Then we work with the child for a short time and then leave them to work on their own.Interviewer That sounds excellent. And what about your equipment? It's often made of wood, isn't it?Sarah Yes, and a piece of equipment is often designed for one activity only.Claudia Right. It's so that the child can see if they're getting something right or wrong.Interviewer So they don't need the teacher so much"?Sarah That's right. Another Montessori principle is the importance of physical activity. Children learn by doing, so when they're learning to read, for example, the letters are made ofsandpaper so that children can feel the shape of the letter.Interviewer Do you think there are disadvantages with Montessori methods?Claudia Yes, there are. Maria Montessori didn't understand how important it is for children to use their imagination. If she was alive today, she would recognize that. But still, the fact is, her methods are very successful.Unit 4 Person to personListening inPassage 1John Are you packed?Mike Yup. Everything's there.John Sure you've packed your mobile?Mike r II look again, John ... yes.John Well, we've got another ten minutes before we need to leave, so we might as well relax. You know someone told me an amazing story yesterday about these Australians who got completely lost in some national park.Mike And don't tell me, they used their mobile to get help?John That's right!Mike So what happened?John Well, it was this guy with his son and niece -I think she was about 14 - and they were hiking in this really rugged country and they got completely lost - no idea where they were at all.Mike That's not going to happen to us.John No, it isn't. Anyway, the guy had his mobile and he phoned the emergency services —it wasn't dark yet - and they sent out a search party, but they couldn't find them. And then -this is the interesting bit - the guy sent photos of the place where they were.Mike I'd have thought of that.John Yes, well it's pretty obvious, really. And in the photos there were mountains in the background, and the staff at the emergency service centre were able to identify exactly which mountains they were. And they used the photos to pinpoint their location, you know, to get the exact location.Mike How did they do that?John They used mapping software.Mike Right.John Anyway, by then it had got dark and really freezing. So they slept behind this ridge and covered themselves with leaves. Andyou know what the young girl said afterwards? She said, "It was quite fun."Mike Really, wasn't she frightened?John I don't think so.Mike So - is there a happy ending?John Yes, well they sent out helicopters as soon as it was daylight and the helicopter hovered over the area, and the man kept talking to them till they were able to pinpoint his location. And when they finally found them they were only 400 metres away from where they'd expected them to be.Mike Amazing!John And that's because they'd moved 400 metres away from where they'd taken their photos because the ground was too rough to sleep on.Mike Incredible!John And the moral of the story is-Mike Always take your mobile phone with you when you go hiking.John And take one that has a camera.Mike Hey, I think we should go, John.John Yes, OK. You think we're going to get lost?Mike No chance, mate!Passage2Social networking - it's the 21st century way of having fun - online. And if you're under 40, you probably use a social networking site - maybe when you should be working. It's well-known that -. office workers spend up to two hours a day on a site, exchanging messages and photos. And do students ever do anything else? Different social networking sites are used by different age groups.For people in their 20s, the most popular site is Facebook, the online phenomenon started by an American student in 2004. It's taken only four years to make Facebook a huge success - and the website's made its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, a very rich man indeed.What's extraordinary about Zuckerburg is that he started Facebook when he was only 18. He was a student at Harvard, one of America's top universities, when he launched the Facebook website, working from his college room. In only two weeks, more than two-thirds of his college had signed up and in a year, thousands of colleges were using it. T oday, Facebook has millions of users. More than half of them visit the site at least once a day.So what makes Facebook so special? Like other networking sites, you create a profile with photos, you list your interests, you exchange messages and join groups of friends. But where Facebook is different is that it gives you a privacy that you just don't get on other sites. Unlike other sites, you have a lot of control over what users can see about you. As a result, one-thirdof Facebook users give out their mobile numbers - they know it's safe to do so.But you still need to be careful about what you think is safe to show people. One reason is that more and more employers are using Facebook to check out potential employees. Is the person you've just interviewed as good as he seems? Facebook can provide the answer. If a 26-year-old man says on Facebook that he's been travelling round the world for the last three years, and in his interview he said he'd been working in an office - well, he probably won't get the job.Unit 5 All you need is loveListening inPassage 1Interviewer So - tell us about how you first met.Amy How we first met... Oh, it wasn't very romantic.David I thought it was very romantic.Interviewer Why don't you begin at the beginning?Amy Good idea. Well, I was 22 and rd just left uni and I went on holiday to the French Alps with a girlfriend. And someone invited us to go climbing. But my friend got ill so I went without her. There was this group of about eight guys and two girls.David There were four girls.Amy Alright! Well, anyway, no one had told me that the mountain we were going to climb was - vertical - and that we were climbing with ropes! I was terrified, absolutely terrified, I just really hadn't expected it.David She was terrified! I noticed her immediately. She looked so scared -she was wearing this great hat ——but she was white as a sheet.Amy Oh, I don't know about that, but I remember I wasshaking all over. David came over and started talking to me and telling me how safe it was with the ropes. And he was so sweet, you know I think I fell in love with him right then.David Yeah, it was the same with me ... We roped up and I made sure I stayed next to her ... I kept talking to her and encouraging her.Amy It really helped. I think I would have fallen off the mountain if you hadn't done that.David Rubbish! You were perfectly safe. Anyway, we got to the summit —it was a kind of flat area - and Amy just collapsed - she couldn't stand up!Amy It's true, I couldn't. I felt -1 was just - everyone ignored me except David - everyone.David Quite a few people came to talk to you.Amy They didn't!David They did!Amy Well, you talked to me, and that's all that mattered.David Thank you!Amy So-David So we climbed back down the mountain.Amy which was just as bad -David and we headed for the nearest village and we both had huge pizzas.Amy I didn't eat a thing! I was still feeling too sick.David You did, you know.Amy You know, you have a terrible memory sometimes.David So do you! ... To cut a long story short, we got married six months later and went on a three-week honeymoon to Barbados. Amy Two weeks!David And we've lived happily ever after.Passage2Presenter And now let's move on to online dating, a way of meeting a potential partner that's becoming more and more popular.James O'Hanlan and Claire Goodall are two online dating experts who are going to give all you listeners advice about how to use online dating safely and successfully. James ...James OK. The first thing to say is, don't be nervous. A lot of people are and it's very understandable. But there's no need to be, provided you follow the rules, which we're going to tell you right now. Isn't that right, Claire?Claire Absolutely.James So, let's begin at the beginning. When you join an online dating site, the first thing you do is give some basic information about yourself. Now, don't be tempted to lie - about your age, for example. If you want a good relationship, you need to be honest. If you're not, you'll get found out and that could be painful.Claire Another thing - it's a good idea to use a photo, you'll get many more replies than if you don't.James But use a recent photo, not one that was taken ten years ago!Claire Let's move on to the next stage. You've had some responses 响应and chosen one or two people you'd like to chat with.Now, the most important advice here is, don't give out any personal information until you're 100 per cent sure you're that happy to do so. That includes your real name, your phone numbers, your workplace address and your email address. Use the email facility 设备at the website and only give out your emailaddress when you feel completely safe.James And email for as long as you want, it's a great way of getting to know a person. Then, the next stage is to talk on the phone. Now that's very revealing, because you'll hear the person's voice, and also because people have to be spontaneous on the phone - they can't think about what they're going to say for half a day, unlike emails.Claire Then, if you're feeling really comfortable, agree to meet. But always choose a public place. Don't go to someone's home.James A cafe or bar is the best choice.Claire And don't forget to tell a friend where you're going and what time you expect to be back. That's important.James Another good idea is to ask the same friend to call you during the meeting so that if you want to leave quickly you can say that something urgent's come up and you have to go.Claire That's everything! If you follow this advice you should be perfectly safe. And you may find the man -James ... or woman —Claire ... of your dreams!James & Claire Happy hunting!Unit 6 Shop fill you drop!Listening inPassage 1Speaker 1 ]Interviewer So, how are you enjoying yourself in St Petersburg? What's it like?Speaker 1 Oh, I think it is a very beautiful place.Interviewer What sort of... Is it good for shopping? What do you buy in St Petersburg?Speaker 1 Yes, there are things you should buy. Of course, vodka is very good here and the other thing very expensive is the caviar. It is beautiful. Then there are the dolls. What have do they say? Matrioshka dolls.Interviewer Matrioshka dolls. Those wooden dolls that go inside each other?Speaker 1 Yes, you take one out and open the top and there is another one. You take off the top and there is another. They get very very small inside. Very small.Interviewer OK.Speaker 1 And of course, the chess. Because they are very famous here in this part of the world to play the chess.Interviewer Yes. And what sort of shops are there? Where's it best to shop?Speaker 1 Oh, here there are very good department stores, where you can buy everything that you like, clothes and everything.And also, lots of small kiosks that are very unique 独一无二的,owned by different shopkeepers, you know. And they are all over St Petersburg. Little kiosks and also markets that are very good. And there is a very good museum shop at the museum - at the Hermitage Museum.Interviewer And what are the opening hours?Speaker 1 At the museum?Interviewer Well, all shops, generally. What are the opening hours ... for shopping?Speaker 1 Yes. Usually, they open at around 10 o'clock in the morning and I think they are open to 7 o'clock at night; sometimes even longer, to 8 o'clock.Interviewer And how do you, how do you actually buy things?How do you pay for things? I think, there is a slightly different way of。

Part One Viewing, Understanding, and SpeakingVideo ScriptJulia: Oh, my God! Hi, guys. How are you? Sorry to keep you waiting for long. How's life? You're OK? Here we go.Mike: I really do. It seems to work that way.Julia: Thanks.Mike: So how are you?Julia: I'm fine. How are you?Mike: Good. Good.Julia: So what were you guys talking about?Carlos: We were just talking about the ideal roommate.Julia: Oh.Jane: Julia, you have three roommates.Julia: Oh, yeah.Jane: What do you think makes an ideal roommate?Julia: Hmm. Well, I want my roommate to be a neat person, as I want everything to be in order. I don't like to see our rooms in a mess. Mike: You want a neat person. I'd like my roommate to be very thoughtful. This is important because people who live together need to hel p each other. For example, if I were sick and it was my turn to clean the living room, my roommate would do it for me. And I would not hesitate to ask him to do a favor for me. In fact, I'm lucky. I've a roommate like that right now.Carlos: So you mean you like a helpful roommate, and he can always give you a hand when you are in trouble. If you ask me, I would li ke someone who is interesting.Jane: You mean who shares your interests?Carlos: Not only that. I mean he is really intelligent and interested in learning new things. He has different experiences from me and can sh are ideas with me. This roommate and I, we would immediately tell each other everything, and in this way become closer. It's a natural clos eness, not something we have to work on. So just give me somebody really intelligent, and we can work together.Julia: So you are actually looking for a friend, not a roommate. A roommate doesn't have to be your best friend. If you have such high exp ectations of him, you might be disappointed. A roommate is different from a friend. If you want to look for a friend, he doesn't have to be your roommate.Jane: So far, no one has mentioned honesty and I think that honesty is really important. Do you all agree with me on this?Julia: Oh, yeah.Mike: Yes, I agree with you. You have to live with your roommate for a long time. If you don't trust him, how could you be happy? But i f my roommate is honest, then I would want him for my friend. Now, personally, I am unwilling to live with a quiet person. I mean a pers on who is silent and has nothing interesting to share with me. Such a person would make me feel unhappy.Julia: Then how about a good sense of humor? Do you think it is important?Carlos: Yes, I think it's important. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live with someone who sees the humor in everything? You'd have so much f un together, and you'd never be bored.Mike: I agree with you, but it's impossible for a roommate to be perfect. I would hate for my roommate to want me to be perfect. Won't y ou? We should never demand too much of our roommates. Or we'll ruin our relationship, and we need to remember that.Julia: OK, let's be realistic and try to appreciate what we have now.Part Two Listening,Understanding, and SpeakingListening IM= man W= womanM: Hello, 776-2235.W: Oh, good evening. It's Mrs. Richards here. I'm phoning from Number 65 next door.M: Yes?W: Well, I've been trying to sleep since eleven o'clock, but I'm afraid the noise from your house is so loud that it's quite impossible for me to do so.M: Oh, sorry.W: Would you mind asking your friends to be a little quieter and turn the music down? I'm sorry but it's absolutely deafening.M: Sorry. Yes, I will.W: Thank you.Listening IIOne cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and his clothes were old and torn. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eye s. She took the child by the hand and led him into the store. There she bought him some new shoes and warm clothes.They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, "Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday."The little boy looked up at her and asked,"Are you God, ma'am?"She smiled down at him and replied,"No, son, I'm just one of his children."The little boy then said, "I knew you had to be a relative of God."Listening III"Are you going to 181st Street?" asked an old woman.The younger woman leaving the supermarket was in a hurry,but she stopped and turned to look. She saw an old lady with a small bag o f groceries at her feet. She was breathing hard."If you're going toward 181st Street, could you carry my bag for me?""I don't have the time for this," the younger woman thought. But when she saw the old woman, who looked very tired, she said, "Of course. "The old woman took hold of the younger woman's arm and they walked together slowly and talked. They were neighbors but they didn't kno w each other. The old woman lived alone and the younger woman lived with her family. They talked about the difficulty of living in a big city: the younger woman talked about the cost of food and the problems of raising children, the older about loneliness.They finally reached the old woman's apartment house. She seemed reluctant to go in. She reached into her purse. "Let me give you a dollar for your trouble," she said."Oh, no. It was no trouble.""Well, we're neighbors," the old woman said. "We'll see each other again.""I hope so."The old woman took her bag and started to go in. Then she turned and said sadly, "But then, perhaps we'll never see each other again."Part Three More ListeningPractice OneJane: Laurie, it seems incredible that you've been with Pete for five years.Laurie: Can you believe it?Jane: Yes, it's hard to believe. Well, I remember you used to say that you would do anything for him, absolutely anything, now do you still think so?Laurie: I remember. People always say things like that when they fall in love, Jane.Jane: Exactly, but I'm asking you now, after five years, would you do anything for him?Laurie: No, not anything. Obviously, there are things I wouldn't do, just the other night, I said "forget it". But what do you have in mind? Give me an example.Jane: OK, right, now let's think. Now, if um... OK, say he was wanted by the police, would you lie to protect him?Laurie: Ooh, it'd depend on the crime I think. If it was a traffic ticket, probably. But no, ooh. Yes, I probably would actually even if it w as a serious one—isn't that terrible? I just realized that about myself. Yes, I probably would, unless, of course, he did something to me. Practice TwoJane: Right. OK, we'll leave that one, Laurie. What about your career? Would you give up your career? If Pete wanted you to give up your job, would you do that?Laurie: No, Jane, why could he possibly want me to give it up?Jane: Well, I don't know, say if he was feeling threatened by your success or something like that.Laurie: No, absolutely not.Jane: But he might be, what if he really wanted you to give up your career? Would you?Laurie: Of course not. Not for that reason, no. Because that would break us up eventually because of the resentment. I wouldn't ask him to give up his career, unless he changed careers and I don't know, say if he became a hit man or something.Jane: What about if he, say if he found a new religion or something, that he was completely obsessed with it and he wanted you to conver t to that religion, would you do that for him?Laurie: He's a good Catholic boy, so I somehow can't see that happening. You mean like some cult or something? That I think would be th e beginning of the end. If someone's so obsessive about religion, I think, then there's only room for that.Jane: But if you loved him? And that was part of him.Laurie: I'd let him go to his God.Practice ThreeEd: Hey Rocky! You've been holding this wall up all night. Get out and dance with someone like that girl over there.Rocky: No way, Ed!Ed: Oh come on man! What kind of woman do you like?Rocky: I want a woman that fulfills my every need, and that girl is not the right type.Ed: Hey. Where have you been? Times are changing, and you're never going to find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up!Rocky: Oh really? I met a lot of women like that, just not at this party. Oh, I prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and watch the ki ds.Ed: Okay, but where do you fit into this wonder plan? I mean what are your household responsibilities once you get home from work? Rocky: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw out the trash.Ed: Wait, wait, wait. I can't believe I'm hearing this. You're never going to get married. I recently read a news report that said that 40 perce nt of women don't think their husbands do their share around the house, and you seem to fit into that mold.Rocky: That's interesting, but that doesn't change my point of view.Ed: That's your problem. Well, I like women who are open-minded and have something interesting to say. Hey, and if I stick with you here, this is going to be a long, lonely night.Practice FourNorma: You know, Brian, it doesn't look like you've vacuumed the living room or cleaned the bathroom.Brian: No, I haven't. Ugh. I had the worst day. I am so tired. Look, I promise I'll do it this weekend.Norma: Listen, I know the feeling. I'm tired, too. But I came home and I did my share of the housework. I mean, that's the agreement, rig ht?Brian: All right. We agreed. I'll do it in a minute.Norma: Come on. Don't be that way. You know, I shouldn't have to ask you to do anything. I mean, we both work, we both live in the ho use, we agreed that housework is... is both of our responsibility, I don't like to have to keep reminding you about it. It makes me feel like an old nag or something.Brian: Sometimes you are an old nag.Norma: Oh, great!Brian: No, it's just that I don't notice when things get dirty like you do. Look, all you have to do is tell me, and I'll do it.Norma: No, I don't want to be put in that position. I mean, you can see dirt as well as I can. Otherwise—I mean, that puts all the responsi bility on me.Brian: It's just that cleanliness is not a high priority with me. There are other things I would much rather do. Besides, the living room floor does not look that dirty.Norma: Brian.Brian: Okay, a couple crumbs.Part Four Testing YourselfSection IJane: What kind of man would you like to marry, Sally?Sally: I suppose I'd have to take two things into consideration:his personality and his background.Jane: What would you look for?Sally: Well, he'd have to be intelligent—I can't stand stupid people. He'd have to be hard-working, reliable, and down to earth(practical). I couldn't get along with someone who wasn't practical.Jane: I like a man with a good sense of humor.Sally: Oh, I do, too. He'd have to be good-natured.I have a terrible temper myself, and I don't think a marriage can work if both people are the same.Jane: What did you mean when you said that background was important?Sally: As far as I'm concerned, people who've been brought up in different environments think differently. They usually just can't understa nd each other well enough to get married.Jane: Do you think that good looks are important?Sally: In my opinion, that matters the least, though of course I couldn't marry an ugly man.Section IIA few months ago, I moved into a very small flat after living for years with my parents.It is the first time I have ever had a place of my own and I am very fond of it, despite the lack of space. I had been there only for a few days when a friend phoned and begge d me to let him stay for a while. He explained he had lost his job recently but was sure he would find another one very soon. Since I th ought it would be only for a short time, I agreed.More than a month has gone by and my friend shows no sign of moving out. There are only two small rooms in the flat, plus the small ba throom and tiny kitchen. He has more or less taken over the front room. I don't like sharing the bathroom, either. In fact, I just don't like ot her people living in my flat!A few days ago, I decided that it was enough and that he would have to leave. I intended to tell him that I wanted the place to myself aga in, but he persuaded me to let him stay longer. He still hasn't found a job and can't afford to rent a place of his own. And there just doesn' t seem to be anyone else he can stay with.Of course, I'd like to help him. He is, after all, a friend! But there are limits, even to friendship. I don't know what I'll do if he is here mu ch longer.Section IIIRalph: Well, my parents are not going to be able to look after themselves, I'm afraid. So I have to decide what I'm going to do with them. George: How old are they now, Ralph?Ralph: They're approaching their seventies.Gopal: Would you not have them living with you? Do you think you would want that?Ralph: Absolutely not.George: You wouldn't?Ralph: Well, I'd rather not, no. I know that sounds selfish.Gopal: That's interesting because in India, a lot of the grandparents live with their children and they play an important role in the home. Th ey're not just there...Ralph: ... But is that because they've always been in the home, Gopal?Gopal: They have, true.Ralph: That's the difference. To me it would be very unnatural to suddenly have them back and in my world.George: Would you think of putting them in a retirement home?Ralph: Um, yeah, that would be what I'd like to do.George: Is that unthinkable to you, Gopal?Gopal: Well, it's interesting because my parents are very independent. But I would feel happier if they came to me, then you know because my husband isn't Indian, it would be quite unusual. How about you, George?George: I'm just like Ralph. I'm a long way from my parents; the idea of them living with me does seem pretty weird. But the terrible thin g about retirement homes is that they're full of old people and if I were an old person, I would hate to be surrounded just by old people. Ralph: I think the best alternative idea is to have a "granny flat", that is, to have a house next door.Gopal: Next door but separate enough to live in your own little space...Unit Two Remembering and ForgettingPart One Viewing, Understanding, and SpeakingVideo ScriptHelen: Jason.Jason: Yes, Mom?Helen: Didn't you have something you had to do tonight?Jason: Hmm, I can't think of anything.Helen: You told me you had an article to turn in tomorrow. Did you finish it?Jason: Oh, yeah, I was supposed to write an article for the high-school paper.Helen: You'd better get to work on it right now. It's 8 o'clock.Jason: I can't think of anything to write about.Helen: Can't you write an article about how you feel about graduation?Jason: That's a good idea. I'll go and work on it. Hmm, by the way, how did you feel about graduating from high school?Helen: Me? A little scared and excited, too.Jason: I feel the same way. I'm scared of leaving home and going to college.Helen: Don't worry about that. Leaving home is part of growing up. Besides, you'd better get to work on your article.Jason: OK.(About one and a half hours later.)Jason: Mom, where is the typing paper? I can't find any.Helen: It's in Dad's study. I'll go and get some for you.(Michael is in the study. He is working on his computer when Helen knocks on his door.)Michael: Who is it?Helen: Helen.Michael: Come on in, honey.Helen: Jason needs some typing paper. He's writing an article. (Helen takes out some typing paper from the printer.) How was your work go ing?Michael: I'm still preparing tomorrow's presentation. What time is it, Helen?Helen: (She looks at her watch.) It's about 9: 30. Well, don't work too late.(The next morning, Michael and Jason are getting ready to leave for the company and school.)Michael: Helen, where is my new grey coat? I can't find it anywhere.Helen: It's in the closet.Jason: Mom, where is my mathematics textbook? I left it on the desk several days ago and it's gone.Helen: I put it in the second drawer of your desk.Michael: Honey, where is my briefcase? I put all my presentation papers in it.Helen: It's beside your desk on the right side. All your papers are in it from last night.Michael:(He finishes dressing and starts to leave.) You know something, honey? I can always count on you. You always know where everyt hing is.Helen: That's why everyone says I'm Mrs. Perfect Memory. Hurry up, or you'll be late. Ah, don't forget your briefcase, Michael.Michael: Bye-bye.Helen:Bye.(When Michael comes home, Helen is busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Helen finds that Michael is in a bad mood, so she goes to the l iving room and sits beside Michael.)Helen: Hi, honey, what's the matter, Michael? You look depressed.Michael: Mr. Smith decided not to put the new product on the market yet. A whole month's work turned out to be useless for now. Helen: Don't worry too much, Michael. Everything will be just fine. At least you can take some time off now. You've been working too har d lately.Michael: Maybe later on, but I'd like to go over that presentation again.Helen: Why don't you come and see what I'm fixing for you for dinner? I think you'll like it.(Helen walks into the kitchen.)Helen: Oh, my goodness. I forgot to turn the oven on. Now we can't have that famous pumpkin pie because it would take too long to bake now.Michael: (He smiles.) Well, imagine that. Mrs. Perfect Memory finally made a mistake and forgot to turn on the oven.Part Two Listening,Understanding, and SpeakingListening IA math professor was very absent-minded. When he moved from Cambridge to Newton, his wife, knowing that he would forget that the y had moved and where they had moved to, wrote down the new address on a piece of paper and gave it to him.During the day, the professor had an idea in solving a math problem. He reached in his pocket, found the piece of paper and started to write on it. Then he thought it over and realized that there was a mistake in his idea. So he threw the piece of paper away.At the end of the day he went home (to the old address in Cambridge, of course). When he got there, he realized that they had moved. However, he had no idea where they had moved to, and the piece of paper with the address was long gone.Fortunately, there was a young girl on the street. He went to her and asked, "Excuse me, perhaps you know me. I lived in this house u ntil this morning, and we've just moved. Would you know where we've moved to?"The young girl replied, "Yes, Daddy, Mommy thought you would forget, so I came to meet you."Listening IIThe Absent-Minded MeI will tell you a story of what happened to meWhen my father once lent me his car.Of all the foolish things that I've ever done,This was the most foolish, by far.We arrived at the school, my brother and I,And I put the car keys away.I was feeling quite lucky as I startedTo go to my classes that day.But at some point in time,For some reason I completely forgotThat the car I had driven to schoolWas still parked in the lot.When at last the long school day was overI walked out the back with a shout,And continued, while talking with my good friend,To walk home on my usual route.I entered the house and asked, "Dad, where's your car?I have a meeting I don't want to miss."I realized right then from the look on his faceThat he didn't think I'd say this.I noticed a smile in his eyesAnd he laughed in a humorous way.He simply replied,"You drove it to school just today."The next sound I heard was uncontrolled laughterWhich had to be coming from Mother.She managed to say in her usual way,"We'd better go bring home your brother."Part Three More ListeningPractice OneFor an anniversary gift, my friend Nathan decided to give his parents a specially monogrammed quilt that said "The Wood Family—esta blished ? ? /? ? /? ?" Unfortunately, he couldn't remember his parents' wedding date, so he dialed their home, and his father answered."Hi, Dad," Nathan said. "I need to know the date when you and Mom were married."For the next several moments, the line was silent. Finally, Nathan heard his father's voice once again. "Carol, " he called out to his wife, "it's for you."Practice TwoA large dog walks into a butcher's shop, carrying a purse in its mouth. He puts the purse down and sits in front of the meat case. "Wh at is it, boy?" the butcher jokingly asks. "Want to buy some meat?""Woof!" barks the dog."Hmm," says the butcher. "What kind? Liver, bacon, steak...""Woof!" interrupts the dog."And how much steak? Half a pound, one pound, ...""Woof!" signals the dog. The amazed butcher wraps up the meat and finds the money in the dog's purse. As the dog leaves, he decides t o follow. The dog enters an apartment house, climbs to the third floor and begins scratching at a door. With that, the door opens and an angry woman starts shouting at the dog."Stop!" yells the butcher. "He's the most intelligent animal I've ever seen!""Intelligent?" counters the woman. "This is the third time this week he's forgotten his key."Practice ThreeMemory seems to be a growing problem in my family. My wife has trouble remembering a number of things, including where she left her keys, whether she paid her credit card bill, when she visited her dentist last, and why she married me.I have trouble remembering things, too, including appointments, anniversaries, and birthdays. My memory got me in big trouble last year: I couldn't remember the exact date of my wife's birthday. She was really upset, giving me no credit whatsoever for remembering the exact month.I also have trouble remembering people's names. They introduce themselves to me and two seconds later I have no idea what to call the m. "Hey you!" doesn't seem to please anyone, not even my sister.If everybody worked on their memory, the world would have fewer problems. For example, the divorce rate—growing faster than my bald spot—would decrease. A married man who's tempted to have an affair would be able to remember what the ring on his finger means. And he might also remember his wedding vows.Of course, having great memory has its disadvantages. When others hurt us, we would perhaps forgive, but we couldn't possibly forget.At family reunions, we'd be bored too soon, after recalling every last detail of Uncle Mike's adventure in the Amazon, which he has told us only 189 times.Great memory would also ruin our enjoyment of prime time TV, because half the shows are reruns. Forgetting the plot is crucial. Practice FourEvery time I smell roses I can see myself again in the garden of that large house in Cornwall. The year is 1971, the month is March an d the sun is shining. And when I smell a certain type of suntan oil,I am back again in the Greek islands. Or it is the smell of lavender t hat reminds me of my grandmother.Smell is one of the senses that is most likely to produce pleasant memories, but it is the most difficult to recall. This is because only a small area of the brain is used in smell. Most people, however, can recognize at least 4,000 different smells, and women usually have a bet ter sense of smell than men.Our ideas of what smells are pleasant or unpleasant is something that we learn at about the age of three or four. It is not something we are born with. We learn what smells good and what doesn't. And we know what smells mean danger, for example, the smell of burning.Flowers are one thing, but what about the smell of people? Each human being has a unique odor. A one-month old baby can recognize its mother by smell. In many parts of the world people greet each other by sniffing the face or the hands. The kiss began as a sniff and Ne w Zealand Maoris still sniff when they meet one another. In modern times we use soap and perfume to replace our natural odor.Part Four Testing YourselfSection IMr. Jones hadn't called his doctor for several years. Now it was two o'clock in the morning, and his wife had a bad stomachache that he was sure was appendicitis. The doctor said, "Relax. It couldn't possibly be appendicitis. She probably has something wrong with her stomach.I took out your wife's appendix ten years ago, and in all of medical history, I've never heard of anyone having a second appendix." "That may be true," Mr. Jones said, "but haven't you ever heard of anyone having a second wife?"Section IIOne cold day in the middle of winter, Mr. and Mrs. Ross decided to fly to Florida for a vacation.Mrs. Ross packed their summer clothes very carefully the night before they left home, and the next morning they got up early and drove to the airport.While they were waiting at the check-in counter, Mr. Ross began to question his wife about the things she had packed."Did you remember my red bathing suit?" he asked."Of course", she answered."You didn't forget our sports shoes, did you?" he asked."Of course not," she replied. Suddenly there was a long silence."Murray, what's wrong?" said Mrs. Ross. "You look worried.""I'll bet you didn't bring the piano," he replied."The piano?" she said. "Why on earth would I bring the piano?""Because," he said quickly, "I left our plane tickets on top of it."Section IIIOne day, Carol Evans was walking along the street when she bumped into another woman. She looked at the woman very carefully. The n she said, "Kate Foster! Well, well, well, I haven't seen you for ten years."She looked the woman up and down. "But you've changed, Kate," she went on. "You used to be fat, but now you're slim." She smiled a t her, "But you look well and it's good to see you again." She took the woman's hand and shook it. "But, oh, you have changed," she said. "I've never known anyone to change so much. You used to have thick hair but now it's very thin. You didn't used to wear glasses but now you're wearing really thick ones." She smiled at the woman again. "But you're still the same Kate Foster I used to have coffee with every week. We had some good times, didn't we, Kate?""Excuse me, ma'am," the woman said, "but my name isn't Kate Foster."Carol thought for a minute, and then she said, "So you've changed your name as well, haven't you?"Unit Three More Than WordsPart One Viewing, Understanding, and SpeakingVideo ScriptB (boy): You know, it's too bad that except for you guys I hardly have any friends on campus. I'll probably never get married. Girls don't e ven talk to me.C (boy) : You expect girls to talk to you? Why don't YOU speak first?A (girl) : I think we all lack communication skills, even though we know they're important. If we can't communicate with each other, it will be hard for us to make new friends. It will be also hard for us to make ourselves clear to others when we finally have a new job some d ay.B: You're right. But what do you think we should do to improve our communication skills?A: First we should be positive speakers.C: What do you mean by "positive speakers"?A: I mean we should think and speak positively. For instance, we should always take the initiative to talk to others instead of waiting for ot hers to talk to us. We can talk about current events, our daily life, or the WEATHER!。
