And everything in lstanbul is very affordable for visitors. Traffic is a problem in the city, because there are too many cars for the old streets. There are also subways, trains, and buses, and some people take ats to go between the European side and the Asian side. The weather is very good in summer, but in winter it’s somttimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parkks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution.

When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other cities in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15 C/60 F to 26 C / 79 F). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why Iive in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city – once a small fishing village – is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples. Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day.

Unit 6 FearPart II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLesson A / ListeningSCRIPTTrack 6-1What are some of the things people are afraid of? A recent survey asked more than 1,000 people what they were afraid of and snakes are number one on the list. According to the survey, 51 percent of people are afraid of them. Next, the survey found that 40 percent of people are afraid of speaking in public. Only 11 percent of people said they are afraid of crowds, and just five percent of people are afraid of the dark. Mice, however, were quite high on the list—20 percent of people are afraid of them.SCRIPTTrack 6–21. I have an unusual fear. It happens to me when I’m on public transportation sometimes. I’m fine if there aren’t a lot of people, but if it’s crowded, I freak out a little. I can’t relax. Crowded subways are the worst. If I’m on a crowded car, I usually get off and wait for the next one.2. It’s strange; I like my classmates and I have no trouble talking to any of them. But every time I have to speak in front of the class, I get really nervous. I talk too fast, or I forget information. It’s frustrating. Once I start talking, I’m usually okay, but I have a really hard time at first.3. I don’t know why I’m afraid of them; I’m much bigger than they are, but they still freak me out. Mice just run so fast everywhere! Sometimes, I’ll see one run across the kitchen fl oor and I can’t go into the kitchen for hours. I can’t even set a trap for them. It’s crazy.ConversationTrack 6–3A: What’s something you’re afraid of?B: Nothing really. When I was a kid, I was scared of bugs, like spiders and roaches.A: Oh yeah. Me too. But some things still make me nervous.B: Really? Like what?A: Going to the dentist.B: Yeah, that freaks me out, too.Lesson B / Listening 1Exercise 1SCRIPTTrack 6-4Narrator:Journalist Sebastian Junger—who has reported from places like Afghanistan and Sierra Leone—talks about taking risks and controlling fear.Sebastin Junger:One of our primary emotions is fear. It is one of the worst emotional experiences we can have. Many people do almost anything they can to avoid it, but some actively seek it out. In many ways, doing things that make us afraid is crazy. No other animal intentionally risks its life for thrills or excitement, and yet humans do it all the time. We climb mountains, jump off bridges with parachutes, or kayak in dangerous waters.I used to work as a tree climber, removing old branches from trees. Many times I climbed as high as 24 meters, and then I had to cut six meters of tree above me. It was very dangerous and I had to make just the right cut so that the top of the tree fell forward rather than back on top of me. To deal with my fear, I would wait five or ten minutes before I made the cut. But I wasn’t waiting for courag e; I was waiting for emptiness. For those five to ten minutes, I would care and care and care, and then at some point, I would stop caring. Inside, I’d feel empty. Then I’d make the cut.I imagine that every skydiver who steps out of an airplane or every bungee jumper who jumps off a bridge experiences the same thing. Maybe we’re attracted to these sports not because they’re exciting, but because they give us the chance to face our biggest fear—that someday our lives will end. We’re the only animal that k nows this, and we’re the only one that seems to need to practice for it again and again. Questions:1. According to Sebastian Junger, why do we do things that make us afraid?2. How did Sebastian Junger deal with fear when he was cutting tall trees?1. parachute：降落伞2. kayak：皮划艇Exercise 2SCRIPTTrack 6-5Narrator:Journalist Sebastian Junger—who has reported from places like Afghanistan and Sierra Leone—talks about taking risks and controlling fear.Sebastin Junger:One of our primary emotions is fear.

I think probably the public has an idea that there is more danger than there really is, but still, there is some danger and my experience with that danger has been—uh, even small amounts of it—has been really quite traumatizing.2. You know I grew up in a really safe, comfortable suburb, and I think some of my—I don’t know what you’d call it—some of my interest that leads me in that direction,I think just comes … they’re really just a reaction to the incredible safety and, frankly, sort of boringness that I grew up in.3. You know when you’re … when you exercise really hard or if you experience fear, there’s a chemical reaction in your body … and those feel good—I mean, just chemically they feel good—and the human body responds to that experience in a positive way. And so anybody—from, you know, your grandmother to an eighteen year old guy who’s driving too fast—everyone responds to the thrill of risk with some positive response to risk. People just have different levels of risk, and thrill turns to terror at different places for different people.PART III VIDEOSCRIPTBoyd Matson:“The biggest spiders in the world are the aptly named ‘goliath’ tarantulas. Most people would run the other way if they saw a spider that was this big. But one intrepid researcher ... makes it his business to track them down and catch them.”Narrator:For many, tarantulas inspire fear. But for tarantula expert Rick West, they just inspire. West says these skilled hunters, which live mostly on insects, but may eatlarger animals like mice and birds, are misunderstood.Rick West:“They’ve been maligned in horror movies. These are the things that as we’ve come up through our years watching television, science fiction movies, it’s always the thing that creeps out of the shadow and goes for the jugular. And it does; it creeps people out and gives them the wrong impression.”Narrator:Rick has come to French Guiana in search of the largest spider in the world – the “goliath.” It can grow to nearly thirty centimeters across, with large sharp teeth called fangs which can be five centimeters long.But the fangs aren’t the tarantula’s only weapons. Its abdomen is covered with small hairs. The spider can shed these quickly if it is threatened. The hairs can stick to your skin or go inside your nose and cause painful irritation.For Rick, it’s best to look for spiders in the dark. Most tarantulas live underground and come out to hunt at night. And suddenly, right at his feet … a giant. Rick West:“This is a beautiful female. She is a monster. This is Theraphosa blondi, it’s the world’s largest tarantula and world’s largest spider. She’s gotta have a legspan of about 10 inches across. Just have to slow her down here. Unless you really do something to injure it or to scare it, they’ll just walk on you.”Narrator:Rick isn’t afrai d to have a giant tarantula on his shoulder, but he is careful about its irritating hairs, so he lets the spider climb down his arm and onto the ground again. For tiny creatures, this spider is truly a threat. But for most humans, a tarantula’s bite is no worse than a bee sting. West hopes that as he teaches the world more about these creatures, fear will turn into fascination.Theraphosa blondi：亚马逊巨人食鸟蛛，又名哥利亚巨人食鸟蛛，主要生活于南美洲北部的雨林中，体型巨大。

The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler’schecks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you.Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage.Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub ofbans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Unit 1 Lesson BVideo track 3-1-1Dave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend. Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Video track 3-1-2Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns wereon his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh—video track 3-1-3Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

My kids can play there.Realtor: Shall we go outside and have a look?Mrs. Wills: OK.Audio track 3-2-7There are seceral ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is transportation. We really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, these people are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streetsbelonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.” Calming the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighbors will become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: I want my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.

He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said to Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!选择是难，更何况是心灵选择。

Listening InTask 1: How to Solve Unemployment ProblemAlan: I have a meeting with my accountant tomorrow morning. She’s preparing my income tax return, and I need to go over some ofthe receipts with her.Pamela: Income tax return! Don’t you think the government just squan ders our hard-earned tax on some unnecessary projects? Alan: Sure, someone they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don’t mind paying taxes. If I’m paying incometax, it means I’m earning would be much lower.Pamela: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lowe r.Alan: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the s ituation is complex: sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.Pamela: Then they should take the needed training—upgrade their skil ls and knowledge to become more employable.Alan: Training and upgrading cost money. Some government tax dollar s are directed to programs that help the poor get jobs. Pamela: But even when jobs are available, some of the unemployed don’t want to work. They would rather have a handout.Alan: It’s partly a matter of education. Some people have to be e ducated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent on charity.Pamela: I think the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would put more money into people’s pockets, then they would spend more, and the spending would createmore jobs for the poor.Alan: Many people would agree with you.Alan’s accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts with her. Pamela complains that the gove rnment just squanders people’s hard-earned tax money on some unneces sary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means h e is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela in sists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lowe r. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. B ut Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed trai ning to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already di rected to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get j obs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don’t want to work, pre ferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thi nking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax r ate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerIn a bar a guy told the bartender, “I’m a professional gambler; I’v e made of lots of money from gambling.”The bartender answered, “I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fift y-fifty at best, right?”“Well, I only bet on sure things,” said the guy.“Like what?” asked the bartender.The bartender thought about it, “Okay,” he said.So the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it, “Ah, you screw ed me,” said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.“I’ll give you another chance. I’ll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,” said the stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, “Well, I can see you’r e not blind. I’ll take that bet.”So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the loc als. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbles up to the bartender and said, “Bartender, I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whis key bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.”The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now, “Okay, you’re on,” he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but no a d rop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, “Hey, pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!”The guy said, “That’s okay. I just bet the guys in the card room1, 000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but you s till laugh!”Keys: TFTFTFor Reference5. Because not a drop tomato juice fell into the whiskey bottle, and he was to win the bet of 500 dollars.6. Because he just bet the guys in card room1, 000 buckeach that he could dump tomato juice all over the bartender and s till make him laugh.Task3: Fighting Teen SmokingThe percentage of teens who smoke cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Preventio n. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behav ior Survey. It’s a triumph for many people across the nation who wor ked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens’ motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best schoo l health classes won’t have much effect on teen who already smoke. M any of them need professional help before they can quit. Another inte resting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don’t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with ciga rettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quic kly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that st ill means more than one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today’s young peop le to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too ear ly to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for impr ovement.26. What percentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?27. What happened in the 1990s, according to the speaker?

When you’ve written a first draft, read it aloud to elim inate awkward spots.Nora: I’m feeling a lot better about this essay and a lot less worri ed about Granny now.John: The essay is a piece of cake; but ensuring Granny’s OK is a lo t harder.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Oh, Bobby, so you’ve come to see me again.B: How are you doing?

I don’t know where and how I can get help.B: I n theory government offices and lawyers can help you in cases of abuse.A: But it is inconvenient for me to contact government offices again and again, and I’m too poor to hire a lawyer.B: OK, aunt, since it’s hard to ensure you’re Ok here, I’ll take y ou home. Mary and I will take care of you.A: Are you sure Mary thinks in the same way as you do?MODEL2 This beauty battled the bottle.Chris: Hey Nora.Nora: Hey Chris. How is it going?Chris: Not too bad.

That helped me to relax.A: So gradually you drank more and more?B: Yeah, first it was a drink at night, then two, then a bottle, and then I drank to wake up.A: Oh, I simply can’t imagine my handsome son to be a drunk and a he avy smoker now. Can’t you stop?B: It’s difficult. I lack the will-power to stop.A: But remember the dangers of heavy drinking and smoking. Sooner or later you’ll develop high blood pressure, heart trouble, or liver trouble.B: There are alcoholics all over the world, and they are still living.A: I’m sorry that drinking and smoking ate diseases that strike young and old, rich and [poor, and all walks of life.

He also gave me some me dicine.A: I guess it was a thought fight.B: Yes, though but worth it. Anyway, “Bitter pills may have wholesom e effects.”V. Let’s TalkToday I’ll be presenting a report on our findings on the condition o f the world’s population. It may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on less than two dollars a day, and one bill ion people live on less than one dollar a day.I’m going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issu es. We must work fast if we hope to reduce poverty by half, by the ye ar 2015.Our survey shows that the first step should be to improve health-care systems. In the world’ poorest countries, people are expected to li ve just 49 years. One in ten children doesn’t reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor-care systems, especially pregnant wo men.The second job we have to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. We have found that when given a choice, poor people in d eveloping countries have fewer children than their parents dis. A pos sible reason for this is probably that smaller families have fewer ex penses and more chances of increasing their earnings and savings. Since the 1970s, developing countries with lower birth rates have had faster economic growth. They have had higher productivity, more savi ngs and more investment. Obviously we must encourage family planning and lower birth rates.Now, here is the third measure we must take: promote education in de veloping countries. Investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated women have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. Moreover, they tend to send their children to food schools so that they can climb the social ladder.Well, any questions? None? OK.

VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Held Back Because I Speak SpanishI was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. Whe n I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes —classes of English as a Second Language. I was also put in the Limi ted English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got t he highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There as no rea son for me to be in any of those classes.When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to th e school administration to complain about the discrimination. The sch ool had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESL cla sses, but the school fought it very hard to keep me there. And then w e found out why—for every student the school had in the ESL and Limi ted English Proficiency Program, they would receive$400. This was pre tty devastating. The school’s only excuse for keeping me there was b ecause I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I was influe nced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I rem ained in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program until I was in the fifth grade.Then parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced it. SO I didn’t have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers.I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too “Spanish” for tem.25. What kind of class does the speaker think he should attend?26. What was the real reason the speaker was placed in a Limited English Proficiency class?27. What was the excuse the school used to put the speaker inan ESL class?28. How did the speaker perform in the regular English class?29. When the speaker described his first school, what were his feeling?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.ATask 2: Drinking, Gambling and GolfA man was walking in the city when he was accosted by a particularly dirty-looking bum, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?”“No, I stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said.“Will you use it to gamble?”“I don’t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive?”“Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?””Are you nuts? I haven’t played golf for 20 years!”The mad said, “Well, I’m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I’ m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by m y wife.”The bum was surprised, “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doi ng that? I know I ‘m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.”The man replied, “That’s OK. I just want her to see what a man look s like who’d given up drinking, gambling, and golf.”Task3: Why buy lottery tickets?Charles: Did you hear? Next week’s lottery will be 28 million dollar s! You got your ticket yet?Joan: I didn’t buy lottery tickets, and I don’t gamble on other ways, either. Lottery tickets ate just another way of taxingthe poor.Charles: What do you mean by that?Joan: Many of the big spenders on lottery tickets ate poor. They a re spending money they can’t afford to spend.Charles: I just buy lottery tickets for fun. You know…the first prize is a huge amount, and if would be exciting.Joan: But you don’t need the money to enjoy life, so for you it’sa game. But when the poor buy lottery tickets, it is often out of desperation.Charles: You must be right. Casinos are opening everywhere, and many people go on gambling holiday—you can even take a gamblingcruise.Joan: Imagine being on an ocean cruise and spending all your time i ndoors bent over a card table or a roulette wheel.Charles: Maybe there should be some programs to help people overcome their gambling addictions something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.Joan: There’s indeed an online program that can help. But nobody c an force gamblers to join it. They must first want to be cured themselves.For Reference6. She thinks many (of the) big spenders on lottery are poor, spending money they can’t afford to spend.7. He just buys lottery tickets foe fun. He thinks ifhe won a huge amount, it would be exciting.8. They buy lottery tickets out of desperation. And the thrill of a win, of something for nothing, is addictive.9. Casinos are opening everywhere, many people go on gambling holidays, and one can even take a gambling cruise.10. It will be helpful to habitual gamblers only when they want to be cured themselves.News ReportHumanity is indivisible.Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations:Peace must be sought above all because it is a condition for every me mber of the human family to live a life of dignity and security.We have entered the third millennium through a gate of fire. If today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better and we see farther, we will realize that humanity is indivisible.New threats make no distinction between races, nations, or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or statu s. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all, in pain and in p rosperity, has gripped young and old…because beneath the surface of state and nations, ideas and language, lies the fate of individual hu man beings in needed. Answering their needs will be the mission of th e United Nations in the century to come. Thank you very much.。

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

We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we‟re seeking.A:How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They‟re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they‟ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I‟m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we‟ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you‟re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you‟ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you‟re a good team player.Keys: T F T T F TTTaks 2 Are you ready for a phone interview Nowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out –of-town candidates.While you…re job-searching, it…s important to be prepared for a phone in terview on a moment…s notice. You never know w hen a recruiter might call. So, you…d better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions. You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it…s at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and Paper handy for mote taking.It…s helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the ph one. In this wa y, you…ll be able to hear your “ums”and “uhs” and “OKs”, and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer…s title(Mr. or Ms. and their last ,name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?2. What can you infer from the speaker…s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?3. What does the speaker say about your resume?4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on the phone? Keys: BCCADTask3: Do you know how to write a resume?Your resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‗d better get it right firs time. Here…re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don…t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. Itshould emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.Questions1. Why doe s the speaker say the resume is important?2. Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?3. Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to the passage?4. How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5. Which is the passage mainly about?Keys: CAACBFurther listening:Task 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I‟m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I‟m impressed by this city‟s dynamic economy. I‟ve come to love it so much that I‟ve decided to stay and work here. M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company‟s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I‟ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They‟re my role models. However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter‟s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company‟s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn. Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we‟ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager‟s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager‟s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down …I don‟t‟ know‟, and you put down …Neither do I‟.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3.

ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Global ViewpointsP13 ADave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of m}'r traveling experience was w hen I came to the . for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to T anzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In T anzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray.

But Sun-hee is tatally relaxed because she has already finished getting ready. Sun-hee tells Mike about all the errands she had to do earlier that day. She had to confirm her flight, get travel’s checks, change her voice-mail message, and pay the bills. Finally, T ara and Claudia are ready to go and Sun-hee checks to be sure they have everything. However, after they leave, Sun-hee soon comes running back in. Why? She forgot to take her ticket and passport!Unit 4, Lesson ATrack 3-4-1 Track 3-4-2(F): Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn't it?(M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They're calling it the "holiday cruise disease." It sounds scary. What caused it? The doctors aren't exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate. OK, give us the details. All right, here's the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 . with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded. They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience. Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn't eat anything. It was really terrible! What's the situation now? Well, the ship had to return home on Monday---- after only two and a half days at sea---- and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They're exhausted---- many haven't slept for 48 hours---- but they're doing fine.F: That's good news. It's too bad they couldn't enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn't want to refund the full amount.F: What's going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I'II keep following the story, though, and I'II have more details for you tomorrow.Track 3-4-3Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can't stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes.

Let's take your temperature.Track 3-4-41. When I was younger and I had a sore throat my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it works.2. I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Track 3-4-OL-1 Track 3-4-OL-2M: Are you finished packing?B: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time, I don’t want to forget any of the pieces.M: Is that your first aid kit?B: Yep.M: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin, where’s everything else?B: Like what?M: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste for example.B: Huh…I’ll put it in, don’t worry.M: And where is your allergy medicine?

I’m going on a camping trip, an overnight camping trip! I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!M: All right then. I was just trying to be helpful. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Track 3-4-OL-3A: What’s wrong?B: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.A: Do you have a cold?B: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred, he has the flu.A: I’m sorry to hear that.B: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Track 3-4-OL-4I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was had to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early! A lot of people drink coffee just because the feel tired.Track 3-4-OL-5 Track 3-4-OL-6Get in the habitWe all know that good habits bring in good health. But we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California, LA interviews seven thousand people about their health habits. Then they follow these people to see how long they lived. The scientist discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life. These habits are：1. Eating breakfast everyday. 2. Avoiding snacks between . Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too . Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or . Not . Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week and be patient, it takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Track 3-4-OL-7 Track 3-4-OL-8Surprising syndromes of modem lifeR4argaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid." Today it's so easy to get information--and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. I;or some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible." Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing. Get headaches a lot. T aking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness! We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have topretend that you're working. Steven works as a project manager. "I can finish my work in about four hours, but I'm afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!" In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed. Chances are you're experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be "pain in the neck," because that's what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long message is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Unit 4, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsP65 AAlejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and I've got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don't want to get out of bed. So I stay home. I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick----and I mean really sick---- the first thing I do is run to the machine cabinet and try to find something to make me feel better.

The weather is very good in summer, but in winter it’s somttimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parkks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution. Two bad points – prices there are very high, and the weather is not veryjgood. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy days, and in the evening, the city MS great restaurant nightclubs to visit.Track l-5-OL-6B. Listen again. Complete the chart with information about the cities.Vrack l-5-OL-7A. Now listen to a talk aalk about The Best Cites to LiVe in. Read the sentences. Which city does each sentence describe? Someomes both cities are possible.Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other cities in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15 C/60 F to 26 C / 79 F). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why Iive in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city – once a small fishing village – is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples. Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. Uses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffc and air pollution are also a problem.Track l_5_OL-8B. Listen again. Do you want to Iive in Hong Kong or San Jose? Why or why not? What is important to you in a place to live? Put these items in order from l (very important) to 4 (not so irnportant). Explain yor reasons.Track l-5-OL-9Listen to the story summary. Fill in the blanks with what you hear.Sun-hee and Tara come home and find a note from Claudia. Claudia wants them to meet her at a restaurant called Giovanni’s. She gives Sun-hee and Tara directions to the restaurant, but Tara forgets Claudia’s note. They ask a man for directions, but they don’t understand them. They finally take a taxi to the restaurant. When they get there, they are surprised. The restaurant is right across the street from the subway station!。

But one of the funniestI could recall was----there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of m}'f flight. attendants was serving…I think…she was serving food…and she had this tray.

Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about aweek before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don’t pack the night before you travel. You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.2.Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like cameras and cellphones.Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.3.Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses the emptyspace and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.4.Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler’s checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage.Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub ofbans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Track 3-1-OL-7 Track 3-1-OL-8Travel TodayGoing solo is the way to go!By D. ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stayon a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day! You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night. The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Global ViewpointsP13 ADave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend. Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of m}'r traveling experience was w hen I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out. Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead.

I've never been to Mexico, have you?Mike: No, I haven't. Have you finished everything?Tara: Oh my gosh! Where's my bag?Sun-hee: (to Tara) It s in the closet. (into phone) Of course!

Mexico----here we come!(all exit)Tara and Claudia: (Sun-hee re-enters to get her ticket and traveler's checks) Now-- Mexico----here we come!Track 3-1-OL-9Sun-hee, Claudia, and Tara are preparing to go to Mexico for a vacation. While Sun-hee is talking to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara have some trouble preparing for the trip. First, Tara can’t find her bag and then Claudia doesn’t know where her ticket is. But Sun-hee is tatally relaxed because she has already finished getting ready. Sun-hee tells Mike about all the errands she had to do earlier that day. She had to confirm her flight, get travel’s checks, change her voice-mail message, and pay the bills. Finally, Tara and Claudia are ready to go and Sun-hee checks to be sure they have everything. However, after they leave, Sun-hee soon comes running back in. Why? She forgot to take her ticket and passport!Unit 4, Lesson ATrack 3-4-1 Track 3-4-2(F): Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn't it?(M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone.

How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can't stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recently?Chad: Let's see…I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit you. Please sit up here. Let's take your temperature.Track 3-4-41. When I was younger and I had a sore throat my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it works.2. I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works. Track 3-4-OL-1 Track 3-4-OL-2M: Are you finished packing?B: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time, I don’t want to forget any of the pieces. M: Is that your first aid kit?B: Yep.M: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin, where’s everything else?B: Like what?M: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste for example.B: Huh… I’ll put it in, don’t worry.M: And where is your allergy medicine?

Track 3-4-OL-3A: What’s wrong?B: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.A: Do you have a cold?B: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred, he has the flu.A: I’m sorry to hear that.B: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Track 3-4-OL-4I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was had to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early! A lot of people drink coffee just because the feel tired.Track 3-4-OL-5 Track 3-4-OL-6Get in the habitWe all know that good habits bring in good health. But we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California, LA interviews seven thousand people about their health habits. Then they follow these people to see how long they lived. The scientist discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life. These habits are：1. Eating breakfast everyday. 2. Avoiding snacks between meals.3. Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too thin.4. Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or less.6. Not smoking.7. Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week and be patient, it takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Track 3-4-OL-7 Track 3-4-OL-8Surprising syndromes of modem lifeR4argaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid." Today it's so easy to get information--and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. I;or some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible." Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'malways rushing. Get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness! We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you're working. Steven works as a project manager. "I can finish my work in about four hours, but I'm afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!" In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed. Chances are you're experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be "pain in the neck," because that's what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long message is the suggested treatment for this syndrome. Unit 4, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsP65 AAlejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and I've got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don't want to get out of bed. So I stay home. I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick----and I mean really sick---- the first thing I do is run to the machine cabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I'm not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I'm really OK, and it's just a matter of time.Malinda: When I xx-as younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste can cure burns---bee stings---uh-- bites-- it's... amazing. "I got a bee sting---- ah, put toothpasteon it." "I got burnt---- ah, put toothpaste on it." "I have cancer---- ah, put toothpaste on it." Kumiko: I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works. Catherine: My father's been recently very interested in acupuncture. He's been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he's been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I'm a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.City LivingIt must be a miracle!Tara: (opening the door to find Takeshi and Mike) Hi--hi.Takeshi: Hi.Tara: Thank goodness you're here! This morning she almost fainted, then she felt very tired, and now she says she feels very lightheaded. I don't know hat to do.Takeshi: Has she seen a doctor?Tara: She won't go. She says just needs to get some rest.Mike: Did anything happen?Tara: Nothing out of the ordinary. The worst thing is, she has this big meeting with the president of the university tonight. She's been pretty anxious about it.Takeshi: OK.

Audio Track 3-1-8, Audio Track 3-1-9Tips for better packingAre you planning to travel for a weekend or several months around the country or overseas? Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything.Reveal it about a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don’t pack the night before you travel. You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.2.Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items likecameras and cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.3.Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It usesthe empty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.4.Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, planetickets, traveler’s checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember topack a few rub of bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful.Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Audio Track 3-1-10, Audio Track 3-1-11,Audio Track 3-1-12Going solo is the way to go!How do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing,or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo? Bon voyage!Unit 2 Lesson AAudio Track 3-2-2, Audio Track 3-2-3Carson and Jenna are looking for a vacation rental home. Listen. Circle the one they choose.Jenna: OK, I think we have two choices.

No washing machine or dryer-- not even a TV!Carson: Oh no! What are we going to do without a TV? That's terrible! Jenna: Very funny. I'm just letting you know about the place.Carson: I know. What's our second choice?Jenna: It's on the opposite side----the sunny side----of the island. Very fancy place with a bigswimming pool. It s only three blocks from the ocean.Carson: Who needs a swimming pool? I mean, it's only three blocks. Jenna: I see your point. Well, the pool area also has barbecue grills, beautiful gardens'-Carson: You like the second place better. I can tell..Jenna: Well, it does have everything. Washing machine, dryer, TV, VCR, frying pan'*'Carson: All we need is a toothbrush and a swimsuit-- Let's go with the second choice.Jenna: OK. I'II call them right now and reserve it.

My kids can play there.Realtor: Shall we go outside and have a look?Mrs. Willis: OKAudio Track 3-2-7Listen to a talk about ways to improve life in the city. Then fill on the blanks with information you hear.There are several ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is transportation. We really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride mybicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicycling and walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening. We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio Track 3-2-8, Audio Track 3-2-9Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways these people are changing the face of their cities.All around the world people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant pedestrians. Cities have painted cross walks on their streets, made their streets narrower put in traffic lights and speed bumps and made plans to help more kids walk all bike to school.Many people have learnt from a man from Brisbane Austrian, named David Engwicht. His book reclaiming our cities and towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streets belong to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. While Engwicht was writing his book he learnt about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on the street.They put old couches, tables and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, the saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic. Engwicht says we’d think about streets as our “outdoor living room”. “Calming” the traffic is just the beginning. Streets will be safe places for children again, and our neighbors will become our friends.Audio Track 3-2-10Creating spacesJin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard, "Of course, I came here for the academics,” she says. "But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk around sometimes just to relax." Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "Inever get bored. The park is so big. I can always find a different path with a new view."Niagara falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "The footpaths allowyou to get a wonderful view. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your face."What do these three places- Stanford University, Central Park, and Niagara Falls State Park- - --all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been called the "father of landscape architecture."In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some community leaders becameworried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Olmsted and his partner, CalvertVaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---- the first landscaped public park in theUnited States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. In the late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. Members of the movement wanted to preserve the beauty of Niagara falls. Despite opposition and pressures from business to industrialize the area. Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls StatePark, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot oftrash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared.

I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7Listen to a passage…Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to the church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing. When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends. Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had their twentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-8Now listen…Audio Track 3-3-9B.

The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler’schecks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you.Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage.Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub ofbans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Unit 1 Lesson BVideo track 3-1-1Dave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requesteda vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to myroommate, and I water my plant.Video track 3-1-2Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first timeby myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my handsto explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my secondtrip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't reallyknow the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis:I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniestI could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendantswas serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray.

Everyone loves cell phones!！More and more people are buying cell phones. With a cell phone, you can keep in touch with friends, family, and co-workers, everywhere you go. It’s important to choose the right cell phone, and the right company.2. Choose the right plan.Look at plans from different companies, and answer these questions: Will I use my cell phone every day, or only in an emergency When will I make calls —during the day, at night, or on weekends Does the price fit my monthly budget3. What phone is right for youBefore you buy a phone, think about these things: What size do you want Is it easy to use Does it have the features you need — for example, voice dialing or Internet service4. Don’t ta lk and drive.You need two hands to drive a car. Taking your hand off the steering wheel to use your phone is risky. In some places it’s illegal. If you need to make or receive a call, stop at the side of the road.5. Use your cell phone politely.Turn your phone off in meetings, movies, restaurants, or any place where a ringing phone might disturb people. It’s okay to use your cell phone in a public place; just remember to speak softly and keep your conversation private.,How do you feel about cell phonesIt can’t be denied: there has been a cell phone boom in the last decade. Everywhere you go, people seem to be talking on the telephone. How do people feel about cell phones Our on-the-street survey found some interesting answers.Sixty-nine percent of the people we asked think cell phones are convenient and save time. Nineteen percent use cell phones only when they have to. A small percentage —only three percent —think cell phones are unnecessary. Another three percent say they are addicted to their cell phones! There have been some problems associated with cell phones. Some cities have passed laws affecting cell phone use. For example, in some places, it is now illegal to drive and use your cell phone at the same time. A survey asked people about cell phones and laws. Here is how they answered. There should be laws about cell phone usage …in classrooms, theaters, and restaurants 57% agreewhile driving 45% agreeon public transportation 34% agreeOne thing is sure about cell phones: everyone has an opinion about how and when they should be used!Listen to what these four people had to say:'Phil: I’m Phil. I love talking on the phone. I keep my phone next to my bed. I even take it with me into the bathroom! My friends say that I am “cell phone crazy.”Sherry: I’m Sherry. I live in the country. My nearest neighbor is 25 miles away. My cell phone makes me feel safe. I can call someone in an emergency.Eric: I’m Er ic. I think cell phones are unnecessary. Why do people use them so often, especially in public places I think it’s a form of noise pollution!Carmen: I’m Carmen. I’m very busy. Sometimes I have to cancel an appointment at the last minute. I use my cell ph one to do that. It’s good for business.Audio Track 3-6-12A: My number is five-five-five, six-seven-four-nine.B: Five-five-five, six-seven-four-nineA: Yes.
