大学英语新策略原文加翻译第一单元A career is the sum total of all of your work-related contributions to society in a lifetime. This includes time and effort spent to provide goods, services, or benefit to others. A career includes paid, un-paid, volunteer, part-time, andfull-time positions. Your career includes many life roles you may not think of: student, homemaker, babysitter, office worker, doctor, lawyer, etc. A career encompasses all the roles you play and duties you perform. You may have many jobs or positions that make up your career, but you only have one overall career. There are various career options in the modern world of work: Self-Employed, Organization Employed, or Project-Employed.By definition, career development is the interaction of psychological, sociological, economic, physical and chance factors that shape the sequence of jobs, occupations, or positions a person may engage in throughout his or her lifetime. Career development is an ongoing process that includes the aspects of planning and strategizing your career based on information about your self, the world of work, thematch between them, and the action you will take to create your life’s work. Formal career development occurs in high schools, colleges and universities, adult education programs, business and industry, military, community and government agencies, trade and technical schools. Consider all the places you have developed your career with either academic or work experience. Where can you go next and what can you do to further develop your career?You have the power to create what you want, whether you wish to be self-employed, change career fields entirely, hold a certain kind of position, or volunteer your time. Smart career development requires you to be self-reflective, resourceful, motivated, flexible, and able to keep your skills and competencies up-to-date.Contemporary Career ConceptsStatistics say that we will experience many job transitions throughout our life. For example: the U.S. Department of Labor says that the average person will have 3.5 different careers in his lifetime and work for ten employers, keeping each job for 3.5 years.From the 1995 National Association of Colleges and Employers Journal of Career Planning, ―The average American beginning his or her career in the 1990s will probably work in ten or more jobs for five or more employers before retiring.‖In the mid 1990s, Richard Knowdell said, ―Career planning in the 1950s and 1960s was like riding on a train. The train remained on the track and one could quite possibly stay on that track until retirement day. In the 1970s and 1980s career planning was like getting on a bus. One could change buses and it was a little closer to driving than on a train. For the 1990s and beyond, career planning is more like an all-terrain vehicle. The worker gets to drive, has to read the map, and has to be attuned to the terrain, which could change from moment to moment.‖When I attended a recent California Career Development Conference, I heard several other metaphors to describe the career development process. One person said, ―The old career was a marriage. The new career is a date.‖ And someone else mentioned, ―A career is like going to an amusement park, where you go from one ride to the next.‖Obviously, the concept of climbing the career ladder is antiquated. Rather than ―moving up‖ in one organization, you will find yourself moving up, down, and even off the ladder. It could, in fact, seem more like a maze, with many twists and turns, stops and starts.My own concept of career is like a wardrobe, where you ―try on‖ different outfits throughout your lifetime, and continue to check the mirror to see if it still fits and matches your current style and taste. In the modern world of work, you will need to find work that is ―suited‖ to you. Think of your life’s work as your wardrobe. It is ever-changing as you move through life, changing as your styles and interests change. Throughout the process, you will be tailoring yourself to fit different roles, and to meet changing work styles and expectations.Thus, today, the way in which we go about planning and strategizing our work life is constantly changing. We are taking a more proactive—therefore more exciting and challenging approach— to managing which way our career takes us. People are daring to walk their unique paths, and ignoring traditional routes. In fact, tomorrow’s jobs are relatively unknown to us at this time, as there will be new titlesand new career fields that will develop. If a modern career is like a wardrobe, you will wear many kinds of outfits throughout a lifetime, sometimes mixing and matching ensembles, but always checking to see that it still reflects your current style and remains a good fit. It has been said that clothes make the man–what you are displaying to the world through your choice of clothing is how you express yourself. Similarly, how you express yourself and what you value is reflected in the work you choose to perform.As Mark Twain said, ―There is no security in life, only opportunity.‖ Given today’s cha nging times, we cannot hold onto one idea for very long—there is so much good work that must be done to help us evolve to our fullest potential. We are multi-talented, multi-faceted beings with many gifts to share. We cannot lock ourselves into any one job or job path. We must walk our path, but remain flexible and open to new experiences. We also need to learn our lessons along the way. Each job, no matter how small, is meaningful and is part ofour career plan in that we are always building onto our careers. Today’s work will prepare us for tomorrow’s opportunities.何为事业呢?A career is the sum total of all of your work-related contributions to society in a lifetime. 一个人的事业是之总和,你所有的工作对社会的贡献在一生。

W: Tom’s mother told me that Tom was in hospital.M: He left the hospital yesterday and he’ll go to class tomorrow.Q: Where is Tom probably now?3. W: How do you like your new job, Jim?M: Fine. This week I have been reading the financial reports and studying the books. Next week I will probably start to handle some of the accounts.Q: What does the man do for a living?4. W: Your glasses are fine, if you don’t like the frames, perhaps we could change them. M: Actually I was thinking of trying some contact lenses, if you think that I would be able to wear them.Q: To whom is the woman speaking?5. W: Do you believe Jack’s story about being late because his alarm clock had stopped? M: I think he made it up.Q: What does the man mean?6. W: Tom, you really must take school more seriously. If you don’t pass your exam,you’ll have to go out and work.M: I don’t see that it makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do boring work every day; but if I’m at school, I must listen to boring teachers every day. Q: Which does Tom prefer, work or studying at school?7. W: You still have a social science requirement to fulfill, Jim. You can take history,psychology, anthropology, or sociology. Which do you think you’d like?M: Well, I’ve always been fascinated by the conscious and unconscious reasons people have for acting as they do, and I’d like to learn more about how memory works.Q: Which course will the man probably take?8. W: What time does the library close?M: On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, it closes at five p.m下午. On Tuesday and Thursday, it’s open till nine. It stays open until six on Saturday, but on Sunday it’s closed all day.Q: Which evenings is the library open?9. W: The election will be very close, according to the polls.M: Remember what happened in 1948?

W: I never thought I’d see your name on a book cover.M: To tell you the truth, neither did I. I didn’t even get good grades in English.Q: What is the man’s probable profession?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.Tim: Today someone said I was a pig. I got angry at first, but then I was told that he was talking about my Chinese Zodiac symbol. I was a pig because I was born in the year of the pig.Zhao Lin: Ha ha, we do have this tradition. I am one year younger than you, so I am a mouse. In China, every year is represented by an animal. There are a total of twelve animals so the zodiac follows a twelve-year cycle.Tim: Those animals are …Zhao Lin: They are the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.Tim: Interesting, but why these 12 animals instead of others?Zhao Lin: According to the legend, during a Chinese new year celebration, Buddha invited all the animals to his kingdom, but unfortunately, for reasons only known to the animals, a total of 12 turned up. The mouse came first, followed by the ox, the tiger, the rabbit and so on and finally the pig. Out of gratitude, Buddha decided to name the year after each of the animals in their order of arrival, and people born of that year would inherit the traits of that particular animal. Some Chinese consider this superstitious, but many truly believe that the signs reveal the hidden secrets of a person’s character. Some people are very careful about the zodiac when choosing their spouse.Tim: Really? If their zodiacs don’t match, will they break up?Zhao Lin: In fact, people all know that a zodiac match cannot be the deciding factor.But there are still many sayings like, sheep and rabbits are ideal partners for pigs, but monkeys and snakes are bad for pigs.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.Jo Shoesmith from Maryland, says the hardest part of her divorce was figuring out what to do with Misha, Nike, Shay, Violet, Momma Kitty and Cotton—the three dogs and three cats she and her ex-husband had cared for during their married years.“The lead-up导致物to the break-up was very rough, especially for Nike, who became so nervous, she would tremble发抖and pace踱步,”Shoesmith told The Christian Science Monitor基督教科学箴言报.“We did not want to put them through any more unnecessary stress.”At the time of the couple’s separation, Shoesmith got sole custody子女单亲监护协议of the cats, with her ex前夫, Martin Stephens from West Virginia, paying “cat support”. The former couple has joint custody共同监护of the dogs. This means that Shoesmith and Stephens travel back and forth between their two homes every other week just to spend time with their pets.The couple separated in 1997, when pet custody监护抚养权was unusual. Today, however, many top law schools, including Harvard, Georgetown and Yale, offer animal law courses on pet custody. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has handled several divorce cases with pet owners, and two law firms in California have partners who specialize in专门研究pet custody.“Certainly there is a giggle factor,” says lawyer David Wolfson, “but this area of the law needed to change to reflect that people do form special bonds with their pets.”Questions:1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?2. How often does the former couple travel between their homes to spend time with their pets?3. Which of the following is true about pet custody nowadays?4. What can we learn from the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or sentences you hear.Lawmakers in Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province enacted a law on Saturday that is intended to improve protection of the Qinling Mountains, a habitat of endangered giant pandas.The law is aimed at preserving biodiversity,preventing soil erosion水土流失and promoting harmony between man and nature in the mountain range.It requires all future development projects in the Qinling Mountains to be assessed for their possible impact on the ecology and bans real estate projects and polluting industries in nature reserves, where the ecology is more vulnerable. The law also ban s mining采矿and resource exploration in nature reserves and forest parks. According to the law, local governments must ensure immediate demolition of existing projects that are potentially harmful to the ecology.The Qinling range is home to approximately 300 Qinling pandas, a sub-species of giant pandas on the verge of extinction, and many other rare animals稀有动物under state protection, such as golden monkey s, the red ibis and antelopes.Unit 2 GeographyPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening TaskDirections: In this section, you will hear some information about geography. Listen carefully and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).1. The atmosphere of the Earth is quite thin compared to the radius半径. A very fragile脆弱的layer of gases protects us from the vacuum真空,空间of space. We must be very careful in the way we treat the atmosphere.2. The focus of the earthquake is directly below the epicenter震中. The epicenter is the point directly above the focus on the surface. The focus焦点中心is the true origin of the earthquake.3. Much of our energy is received from the Sun. You will feel the days warm and the nights cool because you are either facing or not facing the Sun. Other energy comes from within the planet. We have a molten iron core融化的铁芯that creates a magnetic field磁场to protect the Earth. There is also molten rock熔岩just below the surface that releases energy into our atmosphere and heats the oceans.4. Climate and weather are very different ideas. Weather describes the current水流conditions. Your weather might be rainy, cloudy, or hot. Climate describes the region’s environment over long periods. While snow is not something you would expect in the climate, variations in weather happen all of the time.5. The biosphere is all about life. Physical geographers地理学者use the term biosphere to describe our living world. This is where all of the trees, bugs臭虫, and animals live in. It also reaches deep into the ground at a dark cave洞穴or to the bottom of the ocean at hydrothermal vents深海热泉.II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.W: Dr. Smith, I’ve got a question here. Well, we talks about erosion侵蚀and the deposit 沉淀of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I’m confused. For that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud 泥土or sand or whatever, right? But I thought there weren’t any waves orcurrents 水流that deep in the ocean.M: Tha t’s not exactly correct. It’s true that deep down on the ocean floor we won’t have the same kinds of currents we find in shallow er更浅的parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents浊流. This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means?W: Umh, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn’t that when sediment沉淀物like sand or mud gets stirred up激起,搅拌and mixes with water? And then this mixture flows through the water around it, right?M: Good!W: Uh, but I thought that only happened in rivers.M: Well. Yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.W: But how do they get started there?M: Earthquakes mostly. When an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up抛起tremendous巨大的amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended悬浮in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much dense r and heavier than other ocean water that it flows right down the slopes斜坡of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it’s just like the winds blowing across the desert沙漠picking up扬起from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.Questions:1. What is the main topic of the conversation?2. What does the professor ask the student to explain?3. According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?4. Why does the professor mention desert winds?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Advice on how much fertilizer to use will soon be just a phone call away for rice farmers in the Philippines. The Philippine Department of Agriculture and the International Rice Research Institute plan to launch a free service next month. Farmers will call a number and a recorded voice will ask them simple questions. For example, farmers will be asked about the size of their field and how many bags of rice it produced last year. About ten minutes later the farmer will get a text message文字信息. The message will advise what kind of fertilizer to use and how much. The grower will also get suggestions about when to plant and harvest收割the rice.Roland Buresh at the International Rice Research Institute says the service couldhelp farmers in the Philippines increase their yields产量and their profits收益. Danielle Nierenberg at the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group, says the system could also help reduce pollution.The technology could also be copied for crops in other places. Danielle Nierenberg has been traveling across sub-Saharan Africa. She says the cost of a cell phone there is low enough that most farmers have their own or borrow someone else’s.In Zambia, for example, farmers without bank accounts can use their phones to buy seeds and fertilizers. They can also get information on how much their crop is selling for in city markets. They can decide whether they want to travel all the way from their village to the city, because sometimes farmers get there and prices are too low.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and fill the blanks with the information you’v e heard.The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan.Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes in the past. The Great Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people. In January 1995 a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and surroundings. Known as the Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.As to the earthquake measurement, the Japanese “shindo” scale for measuri ng earthquakes is more commonly used in Japan than the Richter scale to describe earthquakes. Shindo refers to the intensity of an earthquake at a given location.Every household should keep a survival kit with a flashlight, a radio, a first aid kit and enough food and water to last for a few days. Avoid placing heavy objects in places where they could easily fall during an earthquake and cause injury or block exits. Have a fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself with the designated evacuation area in your neighborhood.Unit 3 OceanPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the following sentences and try to grasp the meaning of each sentence with falling tone or rising tone.1. I beg your pardon.I beg your pardon.2. This is mine.This is mine.3. Are you coming?Are you coming?4. What is your name?5. What an exquisite piece of art.6. I can’t wait that long.7. Don’t go back now.8. I won’t continue the story.9.

M: Mom, I can’t finish math homework, it’s too difficult to do.W: You know what to do, if there is a problem.Q: What does the woman mean?4. W: Look. I’m sorry, I didn’t turn up for the match yesterday, Bob. B ut I couldn’t,I’m afraid.M: Well, it is a bit late to be sorry now, isn’t it?Q: What does the man mean?5. M: Let’s see if the basket ball game has started yet?W: Started?It must be clear who is going to win.Q: What does the woman mean?6. W: I hear Jane has been pretty successful in her job.M: Pretty successful? That is understatement of the year.Q: What does the man imply about Jane?7. W: Mr. Smith’s briefing seems to go on forever. I was barely able to stay awake. M: How could you sleep through that! It is very important.Q: What does the man imply?8. M: I bought a few books at the new bookstore. Would you like to have a look atthem?W: A few! It looks like you bought out the store.Q: What does the woman mean?9. W: Do you enjoy majoring in mathematics?M: Enjoy? If I could choose again, I would study biology.Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the man’s reply?10.W: Would you like a cup of coffee to help you wake up?M: A cup of coffee? I need three or four.Q: What does the man mean?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.A student is interviewing a weatherman Li Hua.M: Hello, Li Hua. I’m interested in hurricanes飓风whose matchless无比的无敌的power and the loss they cause are often reported in TV news. I wonder how a hurricane form.W: OK! In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical热带的Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea加勒比海. About half of them generate strong circle盘旋的winds of 75 miles per hour or more. At first, these great storms travel aimlessly漫无目的over the sea, hit the coast海岸and form circling disturbance干扰骚乱hundreds even thousands of miles out to the sea. M: Is such a circle disturbance called hurricane?W: No. When the conditions are just right, moist air湿空气flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, the moisture in the warm air produces rain and with the moisture, the heat is converted into energy in form of strong wind. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl旋转in a counter-clockwise逆时针motion.M: How long does a hurricane exist?W: Its average life is only nine days. But it is difficult to imagine how great energy it produces in a single day.M: How great?W: The energy released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for six months.M: Wow! How much rain does a hurricane bring?W: A typical hurricane brings 6-12 inches downpours倾盆大雨, resulting in sudden flood. The water level rises at 15 feet above the normal as it moves toward shore.M: And there, it causes millions of dollars of damage and brings death to large number of people.W: Yeah.M: Thank you very much!W: You’re welcome!Questions:1. When do hurricanes often occur?2. When is a tropic storm considered to be a hurricane?3. In what motion do hurricanes usually begin to swirl as the heat increases?4. On an average how long does a hurricane exist?5. What a rainfall does a hurricane bring?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific Ocean, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles wide where Columbus crossed it. Even its narrowest is about 2,000 miles wide.Two things make the Atlantic rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also it is the world’s saltiest ocean.There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much water there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water were brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up.One of the largest mountain ranges山脉of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few mountains reach up露出来above the sea and make islands.Ocean currents海洋洋流are sometimes called “rivers in the sea”. One of these “rivers”in the Atlantic is called “the Gulf Stream”. It is a current of warm water. Another is “Labrador Current拉布拉多寒流”. It is a current of cold water. The cold water comes from the Arctic Ocean current北冰洋洋流.Today the Atlantic is a great highway交通干线. However it is not always a smooth and safe one. Storms暴风雨sweep across it and pile up积累great waves. Icebergs float down from the north across of the path of ships.Questions:1. How wide is the Atlantic Ocean where Columbus crossed?2. Which of the following makes the Atlantic Ocean unusual?3. Which of the following is sometimes called “River in the sea”?4. Where does one of the largest mountain ranges of the world rise from?5. What does the “High Way” mean in this passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the words you have heard.The Arctic Ocean is located in the Northern Hemisphere, and almost in the Arctic North polar region. It’s the smallest and shallowest of the world’s five major oceans.The Arctic Ocean is almost completely surrounded by Eurasia, North America, Greenland, and by several islands. It occupies a roughly circular basin and covers an area of 14 million sq. km, almost the size of Russia. The coast line is over 45 thousand km.The Arctic Ocean’s salinity varies seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes. Its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to the low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic water with higher salinity.The Arctic Ocean holds 25% or more of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas resources. Fish, seals, whales hares, polar bears, sea gulls can be found in abundance in the area. However, it has a fragile ecosystem which is slow to change and slow to recover from disruption or damage.Unit 4 Environmental ProtectionPart I In-class ListeningI.

W: I wonder if I could use your phone.M: Oh, I’m sorry. You see, it’s out of order again.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. M: Your power of concentration is amazing. Didn’t you hear me come in?W: Are you talking to me?Q: What can be inferred from this conversation about the woman?5. W: I’ve got time to buy a magazine, haven’t I?M: The train is about to leave.Q: What does the man mean?6. M: Aren’t we supposed to have a literature test this afternoon?W: It’s postponed because the teacher has to attend a conference.Q: What can we learn from this conversation?7. W: I am afraid this research work is really beyond me.M: Oh, why not come to Dr. Scott?Q: What does the man mean?8. W: I wonder if a problem like this can be solved by Linda.M: Well, if she can’t solve it, no one can.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?9. M: The play should have begun ten minutes ago. What’s holding things up?W: The main actor is caught in a traffic jam.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?10. M: Do you like Professor Zhang’s class?W: I never miss her class, you know.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. (Emma and Michael are talking about tropical rain forests.)W: Hi, Michael, how did you enjoy your trip to Brazil?M: Oh, very well. We’ve been to different parts of the country.W: What do you like most about Brazil?M: Its forests. Brazil has one of the largest tropical rain forests in the world. There are many different kinds of trees there. It’s wonderful.W: I can imagine. It’s said that the area is the heaven for plants. Is that true?M: Yes. It has an average rainfall of about 400 inches a year, and the average temperature is about 28℃. It’s just the right condition for trees to grow.W: But a recent report says that tropical rain forests will disappear soon. Is it true?Why is it happening?M: It’s true. It is because of the destruction of forests. Men are over cutting down trees for money.W: It’s really stupid to do so. They don’t know such destruction may even change the climate.M: That’s what we are worried about. Trees are closely related to climate. Climate changes may also lead to decrease in trees. The result will be terrible.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.There are many stories about global warming. You cannot pick up a newspaper or watch TV without hearing about it. There are different opinions on it. A small number of people think that global warming is not real. They say that the earth’s climate has been changing for as long as anyone can remember. Why worry about the changes that are happening today?Most people, on the other hand, take the problem very seriously indeed. Scientists have shown that for the past twenty years the temperature of the earth has been increasing by 0.1℃every year. As the earth gets hotter, ice caps in the North Pole and the South Pole will slowly melt. The level of the oceans will rise. A recent report says the sea will rise by 70 meters in the next five generations.But there will be many more changes. Certain areas of the earth will become wetter, while others will become drier. Areas which today are green and fertile will turn into deserts. Summers will become warmer. Tropical diseases such as malaria will be common in areas where today that are unknown.Why is this happening? For many people the answer is simple—greenhouse gases are allowing more of the infrared heat from sun to reach us on earth. They believe the solution is also simple and lies with each one of us—stop producing greenhouse gases. In other words, stop using your car!Questions:1. What changes will be brought about by global warming?2. Which of the following is true?3. What should we do to stop global warming?4. Which of the following is the most probable title for the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear.On July the 4th, 2010, Chinese actress Li Bingbing, was designated in Shanghai as the first national Goodwill Ambassador in China for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).As Goodwill Ambassador, Li Bingbing will help UNEP in its mission to generate awareness and understanding of environmental causes, as well as inspire positive action.The new Goodwill Ambassador will help focus attention on some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environment.“I am honored to have this opportunity to work with UNEP on the environment. I am an environmentalist in my personal life and I try to share this passion with my fans and the wider public,” she said.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director said: “Li Bingbing is our first G oodwill Ambassador in China and UNEP is delighted to welcome her on board. UNEP commends her personal commitment to a greener lifestyle and her passion to influence the public.”Test OneI. Understanding Basic SkillsDirections: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words, phrases or sentences you hear.All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, however.In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.For many years, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods, and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.II. Understanding ConversationsDirections: Listen to the following ten short conversations and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.1. M: The lock on my front door is broken.W: Why don’t you have Mr. Smith fix it? He’s very good.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?。

Test 1Part APassage 1:Catherine's mother was an energetic woman full of life and love before she got cancer. It pained Catherine to see her mother suffer and become someone who depends entirely on others. Catherine tried hard to find a way to give her mother something to look forward to. Then one night last August an idea occurred to her. She would write a letter to the local newspaper, telling people how much she loved her mother and asking them to send her their best wishes. The letter was published and within weeks her mother had received about 500 loving caring cards and letters. Catherine was so excited to see that her mother's old spirit returned. Her mother fought against her disease until she died in October. Today the letters have become a treasured memory and a constant source of inspiration for Catherine.Question:What does the passage mainly tell us?Passage 2:The nuclear family generally consists of a husband, a wife and children. However, if there are no children, then the husband and wife are the nuclear family. If you put two or more nuclear families together, then you have an extended family. For the most part, in an extended family a married couple lives with either the husband's parents or the wife's parents. But the couple may also live with aunts, uncles, cousins and others who are not blood relations.The extended family pattern is favored in some countries. For example, as a rule, people choose to live in extended families in Africa and Japan. In other countries, the nuclear family pattern is favored. In these countries, where people can choose the pattern they want, they normally choose to live only with their nuclear family.Question:What can we learn from the passage?Passage 3:In some industrialized countries, the majority of elderly people don't see their children on a regular basis due to the fact that they move so often. Then do you know what percentage of theelderly live in the same household with their children, or live within ten minutes of their children by car? The answer is 60 percent of the elderly do. However, even though they may live close to their children, they do not see their children very often. They do not see their brothers and sisters or other relatives often either because the nuclear family is so strong in these countries. But there are some elderly people who live with their children. They are living with their children because they are sick. Otherwise they would live on their own. Luckily, there are some offices and programs that take care of the elderly for families that no longer care for old people.Question:How does the speaker feel about the life of the elderly people in some industrialized countries?Part BPassage:Imagined for centuries, space exploration began over forty years ago when the former Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik 1, on 4th October 1957 into space. If Sputnik had not been launched, the modern space age might never have begun.Sputnik, which means 'fellow traveler ' in Russian, was as small as a football and was powered by battery. Compared to today's technology, it was very simple. But its effect was earth-shattering. After its launch, things began to happen quickly. Before long the Russians were sending dogs and monkeys into space and then, in April 1961, the first human being was sent into space -- a Russian cosmonaut called Yuri Gagarin.These Russian successes pushed the Americans into action and thus the 'space race' began. In 1961, President Kennedy said that America would begin a program to put a man on the moon. On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon. At this historic moment he said: 'This is one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.'Part CM: I think after all the noise in the city a quiet walk in the woods can be very restful.W: You're right there. I feel the same.M: Look, it's so pretty when the leaves are changing color. I'm glad we decided to come here. W: Changes in nature always make things so beautiful. In the spring, the green grass and leaves make everything seem new. In the autumn when the leaves turn red, yellow and brown, the woods are full of color. No wonder autumn is also called fall. When leaves fall on the ground, they cover it like a blanket.M: Actually tree leaves turn color because in the autumn days are shorter than in the summer, and the number of daylight hours decreases. I'm sure this does not sound very romantic, but it's scientifically accurate.W: Scientifically accurate or not, I just enjoy looking at the trees that can have a dozen different shades of color in the sunlight.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the dialogue you've just heard.1. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?2. Why do tree leaves change color according to the man?Part DPassage 1In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. When one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he still wants people to think that he is. That's what 'keeping up with the Joneses' is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American named Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors; they try to look as rich and as successful as their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it 'keeping up with the Joneses', because 'Jones' is a very common name in the United States. 'Keeping up with the Joneses' came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the 'right' books, go to the 'right' universities and eat in the 'right' restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are 'Joneses' in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1. What does the expression 'Keeping up with the Joneses' mean according to the passage?2. What does the speaker think of the practice of 'keeping up with the Joneses'?Passage 2Ozone is a form of oxygen. It is found in the air we breathe and in the upper atmosphere. Near Earth, ozone in the air is a danger to life. It is a pollutant. But between ten and fifty kilometers up in the atmosphere, ozone protects life on Earth. Ozone forms in the atmosphere through the action of radiation from the sun. Ozone blocks harmful radiation from reaching Earth. Scientists say a decrease in ozone and an increase in the harmful radiation will cause many more cases of skin cancer. And it will harm crops, animals and fish.Ozone problems first became known in 1985. British scientists reported that ozone levels in the Antarctic atmosphere near the South Pole fell sharply each year in October and November. 1987 was the first year that a huge hole developed in the ozone layer above the Antarctic.A recent study of the atmosphere over the Arctic area near the North Pole showed extreme thinning of the ozone. Officials from the American space agency said the latest study is a result of the largest campaign yet to measure ozone amounts and changes in the Arctic area. NASAresearcher Paul Newman said some of the measurements show ozone in the Arctic decreased about sixty per cent between January and the middle of March. These measurements are similar to the ozone losses observed in this area a few years ago.Other studies have shown that man-made chemicals were destroying ozone in the atmosphere. An international agreement halted production of the most harmful chemicals. The new findings support the idea that recovery of the ozone layer may be delayed.1. Where can ozone be found useful to life according to the passage?2. When did ozone problems first become known?3. What is the passage mainly about?重点单词及词组Part Bexploration 探险Sputnik 人造地球卫星historic 历史性的Part Cin nature 实际上,本质上Part Doxygen 氧atmosphere 大气,空气upper 上面的pollutant 污染物质。

East Asia’s obsession with blood types comes from the work of Furukawa Takeji, a Japanese doctor who nearly a century ago was sure that one’s personality was caused by his/her blood type. According to his theory, each blood type had a distinctive, corresponding personality type: Type A people are conservative and passive, and are concerned with appearances. Although type A people are superficial and have a touch of mental instability, they are very patient and finish what they start. Type B people get along well with others because they are straightforward, and are noted for their creativity. But type B people are also moody and become bored and annoyed easily. Type O people are stubborn and impulsive. Their redeeming quality is that they are loyal to their friends. Type AB people are indecisive and picky. They tend to be demanding and impatient, and they have trouble seeing things through.

大学英语听说教程3Unit1Part B Text1Dating with My Mother(Part One)After22years of marriage,I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy.I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea.One day she said to me,'Life is too short,you need to spend time with the people you love.You probably won't believe me,but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together,it will make us closer.'The'other'woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother,a72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died20years ago.Right after his death,I moved2,500miles away to California and started my own life and career.When I moved back near my hometown six years ago,I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom.But with the demands of my job and three kids,I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?'she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,'I said.'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,'she said.When I pulled into her driveway,she was waiting by the door with her coat on.Her hair was curled,and she was smiling.'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son,and they were all impressed.They can't wait to hear about our evening,'Mother said.Questions:1.What would make the speaker closer to his wife,Peggy?2.What do you know about the speaker's mother?3.Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Text2Dating with My Mother(Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy,just a neighborhood place where we could talk.Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows,I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,'she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,'I said.We had a nice talk over dinner,just catching up on each other's lives.We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,'my mother said as I dropped her off,'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?'my wife asked when I got home that evening.'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,'I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month.Sometimes we take in a movie,but mostly we talk.I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy.Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past.Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War.I know how she met my father there,and know how they went through the difficult times.I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me,a part of my history.We also talk about the future.Because of health problems,my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down.Peggy was right.Dating another woman has helped my marriage.Questions:1.What does the story mainly tell us?2.Which of the following is true?3.What can you learn from the story?Part CConversation1:W:You know,many American parents are now wondering why they can't keep their teenage children from drinking. M:I'm aware of that.To my mind,it's the permissive attitude of the parents that is to blame.Q:What can you learn from the man's response?Conversation2:M:Don't you think it's good to give our children a monthly allowance?W:I think so.It can teach them the value of money.With a monthly allowance they can learn to budget their expenses wisely.Q:What are they talking about?Conversation3:M:Mom,I've got a part-time job at a supermarket.Three hours a day weekdays and all day Saturday.W:Congratulations,Tom.But are you sure you can handle it?What about your homework and your piano lessons? Q:How does the mother feel about Tom's part-time job at the supermarket?Conversation4:M:Hey,Mary.You look so upset.What happened?W:My father had an accident the other day.He is now in hospital and will have an operation tomorrow.You see, his heart is rather weak.I really don't know whether he can survive it.Q:What's the woman worried about?Conversation5:W:Mother's Day is coming soon.Could you tell me what sons and daughters do in your country on that day? M:Well,they send their mothers flowers and cards to celebrate the occasion.Besides,it is a common practice for them to wear pink carnations on that day.Q:Which of the following is true of the customs of Mother's Day in the man's country?Part DMy First JobMy parents ran a small restaurant.It was open twenty-four hours a day,seven days a week.My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old.My duties increased as I grew older.By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates.My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards.I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers.I was never paid for any work I did.One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week.He said,"OK,then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?"He figured I owed him about40pounds a week.This taught me quite a lot.Statements:1.The speaker had more than one responsibility at his parents'restaurant.2.The speaker's parents kept their business open around the clock.3.It can be inferred that the speaker's family lived in the United States.4.It seems that the speaker's father was very strict with him but quite kind to his friends.5.The father finally agreed to pay his child for his work but would deduct the cost of his meals.6.This story shows that the speaker has very unhappy memories of his childhood.重点单词及词组Part Brelationship关系encouraging奖励的widow寡妇demands of要求curled卷曲的suspicious可疑的driveway车道got around to抽出时间(做某事)Part CWondering显出惊奇teenage年青的be aware of知道attitude态度permissive许可的to one’s mind根据某人的意见allowance津贴,零用钱budget预算handle处理,操作survive幸存occasion时机,机会carnation康乃馨Part Drestaurant饭馆standard标准shining光亮的,华丽的Unit2Part B Text1What a Coincidence!(Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor.But the tuition for a medical school in1984was15,000dollars a year,which was more than his family could afford.To help him realize his dream,his father,Mr.Stewart,a real estate agent,began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business.One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town.Mr.Stewart called the owner,trying to persuade him to let him be his agent.Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent.Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire,the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at3o'clock in the afternoon,Mr.Stewart received another call from the owner.His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time.And so it was.The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then,they could talk it over.Mr.Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside,he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area,he had a strange feeling of having been there before.The streets,the trees,the neighborhood,all looked familiar to him.And when he finally reached the house,something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law!The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive,he had often visited him with his wife and children.He remembered that,like his son Andrew,his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and,failing to do so,had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Questions:1.Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2.How did Mr.Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3.What problem did Mr.Stewart have?4.What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Text2What a Coincidence!(Part Two)When he entered the house,Mr.Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it.He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too.However,they were in for even greater surprises.It so happened that in the middle of their discussion,a postman came to deliver a letter.And the letter was addressed to Mr.Stewart's father-in-law!Were it not for Mr.Stewart's presence there and then,the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer.As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip,Mr.Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law.Mystified,the owner urged Mr.Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained.The letter was from a bank.When he opened it,two words immediately met his eye--'For education'.It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs.With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over$15,000,just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman.The original postman,who had worked in this neighborhood,called in sick that day.So the postman,who was new to the area,came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman,the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew.With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine.Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Statements:1.Several coincidences happened in the story.2.The coincidences made it possible for the owner to sell his house at a good price.3.No one actually benefited from the coincidences.4.It can be inferred that Mr.Stewart did not have to seek extra work from then on.5.With the extra money Mr.Stewart had earned,Andrew's dream finally came true.Part CDad Stops for Gas,Finds Lost SonNueng Garcia was the son of an American serviceman stationed in Thailand in1969.But his father went back to the States when Nueng was only three months old.When he grew up Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo,Colorado.His dream was to find his father John Garcia.Year after year, he tried in vain to search for information about the whereabouts of his father.It was a fine day in Pueblo.There was not a cloud in the blue sky.But for him,it was just another day on the job.Suddenly he noticed the name of one customer who paid with a check.The man,who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own.Nueng raised his head from the check and looked at the man.Could this be his father?"Are you John Garcia?"he asked."Yes,"came the answer."Were you ever in the Air Force?""Yes.""Were you ever in Thailand?""What's that to do with you?"answered the man,who became suspicious by then."Were you or were you not?"Nueng persisted."Yes.""Did you ever have a son?"At this truth dawned on the man.They stared at each other and realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated27years ago and half a world away.John Garcia hadn't seen his son since1969.He lost touch with Nueng's mother when she started seeing another man.He moved to Pueblo nine years ago.He said he never went to that gas station,wasn't even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check.Statements:1.Nueng's parents divorced when he was only3months old.2.After moving to the U.S.A.,Nueng worked at a gas station in Colorado.3.Nueng never gave up his efforts to find his father,but John Garcia had never looked for his son.4.One day while at work Nueng's eyes fell on the photo of a customer's driver's license,and the man in the photolooked like his father.5.John Garcia was once in the U.S.Air Force stationed in Thailand.6.John Garcia and his son didn't meet each other again until1996.7.Nueng's father said he often went to that gas station but never paid with a check.8.It was by coincidence that John Garcia and his son were reunited after many years of separation.Part DUnexplained ParallelsOne of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday,in the presence of their wives;both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice.Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy;Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln.Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater;Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company--and so on.Similar coincidences often occur between twins.A news story from Finland reported of two70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents,with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles.According to the police,the second victim could not have known about his brother's death,as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth.Dorothy Lowe and BridgetHarrison were separated in1945,and did not meet until1979,when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota.They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands,two bracelets on one wrist,a watch and a bracelet on the other.They married on the same day,had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers.Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise;Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise.In fact,she had wanted to call her Catherine.Both had a cat called Tiger.They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.How can we explain the above similarities?Statements:1.Both Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy were killed by a Southerner.2.John F.Kennedy's secretary was named after Abraham Lincoln.3.The news story told about the traffic accidents that killed two twin brothers.4.It can be inferred from the passage that more parallel phenomena are studied in the United States than in anyother country.5.Coincidences occurring in three nations are described in the passage.6.Some psychologists'interest is the research on coincidences between twins.7.According to the speaker,coincidences occur much more often between twins than between people who are notrelated.8.The speaker does not mention his/her own opinion on whether these parallels can be explained.重点单词及词组Part Bcoincidence一致,巧合tuition学费real estate房地产persuade劝说appointment约会acquire获得,学会be supposed to应该,被指望decorate装饰intrigue激起…的兴趣signature签名receipt slip收款便条mystified迷惑tuition学费Part Cimmigrate移来,移居whereabouts下落,行踪lost touch with和某人失去联系Part Dunexplained不清楚的parallels导轨in the presence of在面前justice正义,合理convertible可改变的victim受害人,牺牲者identify识别,鉴别investigation调查,研究psychologist心理学者bracelet手镯string一串,一行mannerism特殊习惯,怪僻Unit3Part BText1A Marriage Agreement(Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement.Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John,a reporter,is talking to them about the agreement.)John:Tom,Linda,first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom:We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse.We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda:Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves.Like,I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff--clothing,papers,everything!--lying around on the floor.It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John:This is mentioned in Article1:Cleaning Up,isn't it?It says,"Nothing will be left on the floor overnight.Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom:Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John:I see.What about Article2:Sleeping?It says,"We will go to bed at11p.m.and get up at6:30a.m.except on weekends."I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom:Well,we disagree.We think it's very romantic.This agreement shows that we sat down and talked,and really tried to understand the other person.A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda:That's right.When we disagreed about something,we worked out a solution that was good for both of us.I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowersor a box of candy.Questions:1.Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2.According to Tom,what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3.What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation?Text2A Marriage Agreement(Part Two)John:Linda,do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules?Arguing? Linda:No,not at all.Tom:A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations.I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John:What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom:Well,that's in Article13of our agreement.John:Is it?Oh yes,Article13:Breaking Rules."If you break a rule,you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda:Yeah,like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John:What's the rule?Linda:The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes. John:What happened?Tom:We were driving to a friend's wedding,and we got lost.Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions,but I thought I could figure it out.Linda:Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom:So I took her out to dinner.I knew what I should do to apologize.John:That's very important,I think,knowing how to apologize.By the way,do you plan to update your agreement at all?What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda:We've thought about that too.Article14states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John:Well,it was really nice talking to you both.Thank you very much for your time.Tom&Linda:Thank you.Statements:1.Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects.2.Once Tom broke Article14and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner.3.If some of the rules in the marriage agreement become outdated,changes will be made to update them.4.It seems that both Tom and Linda are satisfied with their marriage agreement.Part CA Perfect MatchAre you looking for a good relationship with someone special?What type of person is the best person for you? Is it the person with the highest IQ?Is it the most beautiful or most handsome person?How about the richest person or the most ambitious?Is your ideal partner the most traditional or the most modern person?Is he or she the person most like you,or most unlike you?The answer,psychologists say,is none of the above.Why?Because they are all extremes.In a number of research studies,psychologists asked couples these questions.The answers were clear.Most people are happy with moderation--with partners who are not the most or the best(or the least or the worst).People are more comfortable with partners who are not so special.The research showed several other important things.In a love relationship,two things can cause trouble. First,trouble happens when both people get angry quickly.This is not surprising.Second,trouble happens when people don't expect to change themselves in a relationship.Do you stay calm when you disagree with someone?Are you ready to change yourself?If you can tolerate disagreement and are willing to change,maybe you are ready for a serious relationship.Statements:1.The passage implies that the perfect match for you is a person who is most unlike you.2.The author argues that the most beautiful or most handsome person may not be your perfect partner.3.Moderate person,that is,the partners who are not the most or the best can be your perfect match.4.The research showed that an extreme love relationship between the two can cause trouble.5.The passage states that the anger is one of the causes that lead to the breakup of a love relationship.6.The perfect match lies in the people's attitudes to tolerate disagreement and be willing to change in arelationship.Part DHusbands and Wives Don't See Things AlikeLet's face it--husbands and wives just don't see things alike.Take TV remote controls,for example.I'm a channel-grazer.When I watch the news,I flip back and forth through four different networks."It drives me crazy when you do that,"my wife complains.I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels.After all,she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives.Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands.But,no,she won't change channels,not even if she dislikes the program she's watching."This talk show host makes me so angry!"she cried one evening."Then why don't you change the channel?"I asked."Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels."Differences.No right or wrong,just differences."The first law of civilization,"said an old philosopher,"is to let people be different."I don't need to convert my wife to my ways,and she doesn't try to make me be like her.We simply take turns monitoring the remote control.Statements:1.The major difference between the speaker and his wife is their TV viewing habits.2.According to the speaker,he is more interested in talk shows while his wife is more interested in news programs.3.The wife seems to be more weird than the husband is.4.The speaker and his wife usually take turns working the remote control when they watch television.5.It can be inferred that women are generally more tolerant than men of their spouse's differences.6.The speaker and his wife maintain peace not by changing each other but by tolerance.重点单词及词组Part Bexpectation期望,期待bug打扰peeve麻烦的事物spouse配偶solution解决办法a bunch of一捆candy糖果expectation期望apologize道歉end up最终以…为结局Part Cpsychologist心理学者ambitious有雄心的moderation适度tolerate忍受Part Dcomplain抱civilization文明,文化philosopher哲学家monitor监控convert使转换Unit4Part B Text1Being a Police Officer Is a Stressful JobInterviewer:Welcome to our program,Sam.Sam:Thank you.Interviewer:Sam,how long have you been a police officer?Sam:I've been a police officer for thirty years.Interviewer:Thirty years.And you've had different types of assignments on the police force,I guess. Sam:Yeah,I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work,and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer:Sam,I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job.Would you agree?Sam:Yes,it's definitely a stressful job.But it depends on your assignment.Interviewer:So,what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?Sam:I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer:That's interesting!In what way?Sam:Well,I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor--the fear of the unknown. Interviewer:What do you mean,Sam?Sam:Well,in patrol work,you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence.Let's say,for example,a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation.It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.Interviewer:Yes,it is a very low-stress situation.Sam:But the truth is,there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.Interviewer:Really?Sam:Really!That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings.People back over policemen,people shoot policemen,people jump out at policemen--different kinds of things.So that's probably the most stressful time.Interviewer:I see.Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.Sam:All right.Questions:1.What's the relationship between the two speakers?2.What does Sam mainly talk about?3.What do you know about Sam?Text2Stress ReducersInterviewer:Sam,you've talked about the police officers'stressful time.Now let's move on to the next topic.So far as I know,there's a connection between stress and illness.Do you think that there's a higher percentage of illness among police officers than in the general population?I mean,do they get more colds or anything?Is this really true?Sam:Yes,it is,and the stress level not only manifests itself in daily health--whether or not you've feeling well on any given day.It also manifests itself in things like ulcers,heart disease--police officers tend to have a higher rate of heart disease and ulcers than people in other professions.Interviewer:Really?That's documented?Sam:Yes,it's documented.And also the divorce rate among police officers is much higher.Interviewer:Is there something that the police department does to help you deal with this stress?Sam:Yes,there are several programs that most police departments have in place.One is an exercise program where some part of your day is spent on some type of physical exercise.They've found that's a great stress reducer.Besides,there's also a psychological program with counseling for officers to help them reduce their stress.And there are several discussion groups as well.They've found that sometimes just sitting around and talking about the stress with other officers helps to reduce it.So,those things are available.Interviewer:And what do you do,personally,to help you deal with the stress of your job,Sam?Sam:Well,during the baseball season,I'm the biggest baseball fanatic,and I will either be reading about baseball, or listening to baseball,or watching baseball.Another thing I try to do is to get some sort of exercise every day.And then I work hard at keeping up my personal relationships,especially my relationship with my wife.Fortunately I get along very well with my wife.When I come back home,I can talk about my day with her,and then just forget about it.Statements:1.The dialogue is mainly about how police officers can deal with stress.2.According to Sam,most police officers enjoy good health.3.According to Sam,the divorce rate among police officers is higher than among people in other jobs.4.Counseling is the most effective program to help police officers relieve stress.5.Sam knows how to reduce his stress.Part CShort Conversations1.M:You look so nervous,Rose.Are you all right?W:Frankly speaking,I'm on pins and needles.I have to give a presentation to a group of important visitors this afternoon.Q:Why does Rose feel nervous?2.M:You look so upset,Sue.What's worrying you?W:My son Jack made me extremely unhappy.He seems to be playing video games all the time.Whenever I talk to him he turns a deaf ear to me.Q:What's the woman's problem?3.W:David,you don't look happy.Anything wrong?M:Well,you know,my mother died three years ago.And since then my father has lived in an apartment on his own and has very few friends.Q:What is David worrying about?4.W:Michael,I don't know what has happened to Mother.Her memory seems to be going.I have to remind her ofalmost everything.M:Don't worry,Mary.She's just getting old.Q:What do you know about Mary?5.W:I'm worried about sending my son Peter to college.You see,nowadays many college students behave ratherstrangely.They don't seem to be interested in their studies.M:Just a few.Most students still concentrate on their studies.Q:What can you infer from the man's response?Part DFinding Creative Outlets for Very Stressful TimesBeautifying your home is a fun and practical pastime that can offer a wonderful sense of accomplishment.Few people may realize,however,that painting the walls,knitting bedspreads or sewing pillows can help relieve the life pressures we all experience.Studies indicate that engaging in creative endeavors such as sewing and crafting can lower one's risk of stroke,kidney damage and heart disease.These calming,repetitive activities relax the mind and can lower blood pressure.Sharing such activities can also be a way to spend time with loved ones,which increases our sense of belonging and further reduces stress.People have always turned to working with their hands in times of stress.Handicraft works,with their symbols of hope,have a far greater impact when created by groups.Keep in mind the following tips to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your craft projects:1.Work with materials that stimulate the senses;work in a comfortable area without distractions;play your favorite music.2.Make a family project of selecting your favorite photos,and frame them so they can be enjoyed every day.In stressful times,the photos can lift your spirits as you recall happy moments.3.If your schedule is hectic,choose a practical project that will make the most of crafting time.If a simple kitchen curtain needs to be replaced,start there.。

Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do exactly?
Andy: Basically, we check out new events on the London music scene, you know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as well as exhibitions in galleries and museums. Then we go and film interviews with the musicians or the actors, or anyone who has anything to do with the event.
The classes aim to help students in achieving a positive state of mind, by using all their own resources and boosting their self-esteem. In addition, they hope classes will increase self-awareness and physical comfort. Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers’ behavior. The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer.

BOOK3Unit 1Inside ViewConversation 1Janet: Hi, it’s me again, Janet Li. I’m still a student at the University of Oxford in England. But I’m not in Oxford right now. And I haven’t gone back home to China either. It’s the long vacation now, and believe it or not, it’s the middle of summer. I’m spending my summer in one of the world’s greatest cities. I’m in London, home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge…and the double-decker bus. I want to find out what it’s like to live in this busy, lively city.So I’m working for London Time Off, a website about what’s on in London. This is Joe…, he’s my boss, and this is Andy, who is a reporter. And what’s my job?Well, I don’t know yet, because it’s my first day. But I’m meant to be shadowing Andy, oh, what I mean is, I’m going to be helping him. So can you tell me something about London, Andy?Andy: It’s the greatest city in the world. .Joe: Except for New York!Andy: New York? Don’t make me laugh!Joe: And your point is…?Andy: Look, if you wan t my opinion, London is greater than New York…Joe: No, I don’t want your opinion, thank you very much. It’s a fact.Andy: A fact! Are you serious?\Janet: And here we are in London, probably the greatest city in the world.Andy: What? Probably? Excuse me, I prefer to deal with this myself…Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy………Conversation 2Janet:So when did you start working at London Time Off?Andy: About a year ago.Janet: And I hope you don’t mind my asking ,but do you like working here?Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get along quite well. He drives me crazy sometimes, because he’s my boss, and I wish I earned a bit more money, but…I think my job is really cool, because I get to see everything that’s happening in London. And I didn’t want to join the r at race.Janet: What do you mean by the rat race?Andy: You know, doing the same thing day in day out, and not doing anything creative, or having any time to enjoy life. It’s the last thing I want to do.Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do exactly?Andy: Basically, we check out new events on the London music scene, you know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as well as exhibitions in galleries and museums.Then we go and film interviews with the musicians or the actors, or anyone who has anything to do with the event.Janet: Ok, then what happens?Andy: We edit the interviews, and then we upload it all onto the website. We get 200,000 hits a week. We’re London’s biggest listings site.Janet: Can I ask you something else?Andy: Fire away.Janet: What are we going to do now?Andy: I need to go back to my flat, and get my research. Then we’ve got an interview to do. Let’s get the tube back to my place.Janet: And what about Joe?Andy: Well, he’s supposed to be on his way to the National Theatre, to do an interview with the director of a new play. But I kind of hope he gets lost on the way. Then he’ll discover what a great place London is.Janet: I don’t understand.Andy: I’m joking! Come on, let’s go!Outside viewHappiness is not what most students have in mind when they think of school. Yet a school in Germany has developed a novel way to raise the morale of its students, by teaching happiness in classes. Students at Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics are learning how to achieve happiness as an official subject, alongside mathematics and languages. This is the first school in Germany to develop a happiness course, intended for 17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams.Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school’s principa l, is on a mission to change things.Ernst Fritz-Schubert: It was my idea-I’ve been at this school for 31 years, and I feel that school and happiness have to be reunited. These are two terms which are not considered together, because one does not connect school with happiness. In some cases school comes behind the dentists on the popularity scale and we should try topush schools’ popularity a bit.It has been proved by science that a happy student can learn more than an unhappy one, Unhappy students can concentrate for a while but do not use all their potential. The happiness classes are intended to help students fulfill their potential. They will help the students live happy and prosperous lives.The classes aim to help students in achieving a positive state of mind, by using all their own resources and boosting their self-esteem. In addition, they hope classes will increase self-awareness and physical comfort. Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers’ behavior. The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer.Bjoern Bonn: One of the exercises I do is to have one of the students walk across the classroom, with the others copying his walk. Through this exercise, I hope they learn something about themselves. Why do I move like this? How do others see my way of walking? I hope that with a higher body awareness they ideally –of course it will take time-achieve a higher self-consciousness which could lead to happiness.Wolfgang Lang: We give these classes to students to help them find happiness. Now the question is: How do I define happiness? Happiness is for example a strengthening of the personality. We are providing helpful suggestions to make stronger people. People that ask“Who am I as a person? Am I really happy?”Pascal Gemble: It takes time and everybody has to find happiness for themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson and say teach me happiness. One can only getindications from teachers or the visiting lecturers. There are also happiness scientists, if we could talk to one of those, I am sure he would have some hints.Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya: You would think that the teachers are writing definitions on the board. Not true. Those who want happiness have to find it for themselves, you cannot really learn that.So what does it take to be happy and can you learn it at school?Listening inPassage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things have had a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I seethe world. I’m much more tolerant now… It made me a more roundedperson.Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. Itraveled a lot around Asia and you know, I found that in some of the poorestcountries, like Cambodia and Laos, people share whatever little they have,and they possess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me a less selfishperson.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was votedoff by the audience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on theshow and seeing how the other contestants behaved made me realize howselfish and spiteful some people can be just to get what they want. I alsorealized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to be someonedifferent people will eventually see through the lies.Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you wer e eventually voted off? Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life?。

Unit 12Part BText 1The Launching of the EuroAs firework displays ushered in the euro from Paris to Athens, Rome to Madrid, curiosity drove Europeans to cash machines at midnight December 31, 2001 for the first look at the brightly colored new notes. More than 300 million Europeans began changing their old currencies for the euro in the most ambitious currency changeover in history. To prepare for the large demand, banks across the euro zone disabled 200,000 A TMs in the afternoon, changing software and loading them with euro notes. Altogether 15 billion banknotes and 52 billion coins -- worth 646 billion euros, or $568 billion -- have been produced for the switchover.Knowing how people can be attached to their national currencies, architects of the euro expressed hope that it will help realize dreams of a united Europe.Across the continent, officials welcomed the euro as a sign of economic stability -- a new symbol to bind 12 nations on a continent at the heart of two world wars."We will become a greater Europe with the euro," EU Commission President said in Vienna, shortly after he used the new currency to buy flowers for his wife. "We shall become stronger, wealthier."His view was shared by Helmut Kohl, the former German chancellor, who with the late French leader Francois Mitterrand had championed the single currency to bring peace and security to Europe. Kohl wrote in a newspaper, "A vision is becoming a reality. For me, the common currency in Europe fulfills a dream. It means there is no turning back from the path toward unification of our continent."The nations adopting the euro are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Those staying out are Britain, Sweden and Denmark.Questions:1. What does the passage mainly tell us?2. What can be said about the passage?3. What can be inferred from the passage?Text 2Britain's Reaction to the Single CurrencyBuckingham Palace and other royal residences open to the public do not accept euros at theirgift shops and entry turnstiles.The new currency was launched in 12 European Union countries on January lst, 2002, but Britain was not one of them.A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said the decision not to accept the euro was purely a business one and not a political statement. The retail outlets at the official residences have never accepted any other currencies. It is simply because as very small retail outlets, they don't have the facilities for changing currencies.However, many retail outlets in Britain have prepared to accept the new currency since millions of tourists are expected to visit the country every year. In 2002 alone, visitors from the euro zone were estimated to spend more than 6.55 billion euros in Britain.Major department stores Debenhams and Marks & Spencer and a big electronics retailer accept euros, but only on a limited basis initially.Twenty-nine of Marks & Spencer stores, primarily those in tourist locations, have at least one cash register on each floor to process euro transactions. Its other stores have at least one designated area -- either a register or a customer service desk-where the currency is accepted. Products are not priced in euros, however, and change is given in British money.The British prime minister Tony Blair said Britain will only join the single currency if economic conditions are right. A series of recent opinion polls show many Britons oppose the euro and see it as against Britain's sovereignty.Questions:1. What does the passage mainly tell us?2. What can we infer from the passage?3. What is the speaker's attitude toward Britain's decision not to join the single currency?Part CWithdrawing MoneyTeller: Hi. Can I help you?Peter: Hi. I've, uh, just opened a checking account and I want to withdraw 150 euros. What I want to know is, who do I make the check out to?Teller: Well, since the money is for you yourself, you make it out to cash.Peter: OK. W... how do I do that?Teller: Y ou just write the word 'cash' on this line.Peter: This line here?Teller: Y es, next to 'pay to the order of'.Peter: OK. C-A-S-H. Now, I want to make this 150 euros. There, how's this?Teller: Well, you've written the amount in numbers, but you have to write it out in words, too. That goes on the second line, there.Peter: Oh, yeah.Teller: By the way, it's a good idea to draw a line from the end of the amount to the word 'euros' sonobody can change the amount.Peter: Oh, thanks. Well, that should do it. Here you go.Teller: Y ou forgot to sign your name. There, in the bottom right corner.Peter: Woops, sorry. Here you go.Teller: The date.Peter: W... huh?Teller: The date -- you forgot it. It goes in the top right corner.Peter: Oh, right. OK, am I done?Teller: Y es. That's fifty-a hundred -- a hundred and fifty euros.Peter: Thanks a lot. Have a good day.Teller: Y ou too.Part DThe French FrancFor a century much attached to national symbols, France took the imminent death of the franc calmly. It was as if an ancient great-great uncle were about to pass away: a time for nostalgia and regret, rather than grief.Unlike the German mark, the franc had never been a symbol of national rebirth or glory. Its recent history was relatively stable but it had to be revalued as recently as 1960. In the 1950s, its value and reputation were so weak that French politicians considered abolishing it and replacing it with something else, based on the value of the pound.But money is money after all. It is with us every day. It was surprising that such a conservative people did not express greater sorrow for the loss of their familiar francs. It was also surprising they did not feel a greater sense of aesthetic loss for the franc had alw ays been one of the world's most beautiful currencies.The name franc was first used in 1360, to celebrate and help to pay for the release of King Jean II, who was captured by the still poundless English. He created the "franc" or "free" to celebrate the occasion. Over the next 400 years the name came and went but was finally restored by the Revolution in 1795. On February 17th, 2002, the French franc disappeared completely from the financial scene.Questions:1. How did the French feel for the loss of their franc?2. At what time did the French politicians think of replacing the franc with some other currency?3. Why was the French currency named "franc" when it was first used in the 14th century?4. What can be learned about the French people from the passage?重点单词及词组Part BLaunchingfirework display 焰火usher 引导,展示curiosity 好奇心ambitious 有雄心的changeover 完全改变switchover 替换,转换be attached to 附属architect 建筑师economic stability 经济稳定champion 拥护unification 统一,合一turnstile 十字转门electronics 电子学sovereignty 君主,主权transaction 办理,处理事务Part Cchecking account 经常账户in the bottom 在底部Part Dattached to 使依恋imminent 即将到来的pass away 去世nostalgia 乡愁rebirth 复活glory 荣誉,光荣conservative 保守的。

Unit 5Part BText 1AshleyAshley was reading a magazine when she came across an article about antibiotics and other drugs discovered in European rivers and tap water. If such drugs were present there, she reasoned, they might also be found near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms, which can kill untold numbers of people.The girl, then 16, began testing her area's river -- the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio and its tributaries over ten weeks. Reading scientific journals, she taught herself to analyze the samples. It was the most scientifically sound project for someone her age.Her experiment, one of the first of its kind in the United States, showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She received a $5,000 scholarship and an audience with Sweden's Crown Princess V ictoria.Her interest in science was sparked by walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff -- how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. "Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has won $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. "I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done," she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize.Statements:1. Ashley lives in the state of Virginia.2. Antibiotics in streams and rivers can lead to the emergence of supergerms.3. Bacteria found in European local waters and tap water have killed countless people.4. Using simple equipment designed by herself, Ashley collected 350 water samples in ten weeks.5. Ashley's experiment proved that antibiotics did exist in the Ohio River.6. Ashley developed a strong interest in science when she was in her sixth grade.7. Ashley wants to make discoveries by herself and knows how to make use of what she has read.8. The International Stockholm Junior Water Prize is a Nobel Prize for teenagers.9. Ashley got a $5,000 scholarship from Harvard University.10. Ashley can be regarded as a role model for young people.Text 2Y oung People Say No to SmokingOn February 16, 2001, the teens from a youth group called REBEL launched their advertising campaign at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. By now just about everybody has heard the "Not for Sale" commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies. What many people don't know is that teenagers from West New Y ork and across New Jersey worked on various aspects of the campaign, and even appeared in some of the advertisements. The campaignorganizer thought it would be better than using actors if actual REBEL members were in the commercials.REBEL, which stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies, is a statewide youth initiative against tobacco companies. The movement, which began in November last year, carries the message that teens no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. Knowing that peer pressure on teens to smoke or do drugs is one of the biggest problems that teens face, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New Y ork swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group."We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie, one of its founding members. "But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now."Questions:1. When did REBEL launch their advertising campaign?2. How many members did REBEL have by the summer of 2001?3. Who are the members of REBEL?4. What did REBEL do for their campaign against tobacco companies?5. What did REBEL do recently?Part CSkatescootersIn Hong Kong these days, you will often see people riding skatescooters in the streets. Depending on which way you look at them, they can be great for performing tricks or are just the latest fashionable commodity. Fung is one of the more experienced skatescooter riders, as he has been practising his technique for about a year. His curly hair and baggy jeans show his devotion to street fashion and being comfortable. He has a deep passion for and understanding of this sport."I started riding skatescooter a year ago, but at that time there was no one to share the experience with or learn new tricks from," he explained. "Now that it has caught on and more people take part in it, it is more enjoyable."Most of the best brands of skatescooters are made in Switzerland and began to be imported to Hong Kong in 1999. No one took much notice of them, however, until they became popular in Japan. When people saw skatescooters in Japanese magazines they were soon trying to buy them in Hong Kong. V ery quickly Hong Kong had its own group of skatescooter riders and the number is still growing.However, not all who enjoy skatescooters regard riding them as a sport. For some people they are simply a quick way to get from home to the underground or from a bus stop to the office. As they can be folded up without difficulty and are easy to carry about, they have become popular with a variety of people from school students to business executives.Statements:1. Skatescooters are very popular in Hong Kong. Y ou'll find riders performing tricks on skatescooters in the streets.2. Fung is the person who introduced skatescooters to Hong Kong.3. Fung is a devoted performer and the most skillful rider of skatescooters in Hong Kong.4.

Now skatescooters has been listed as one of the competitive sports around the world.7. People like to ride skatescooters as a sport as well as a convenient means of transportation.

And we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study, all she seems interested in are clothes and boys.

Jane may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while.

II. Understanding NewsListening TaskDirections: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).AGRICULTURE REPORT—Some Crops (Like Some People) Do Well as Companions Companion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help each other grow. These compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose.Crops like beans and potatoes can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm eac h other’s development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas, a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen too quickly. Fruits that release a lot of ethylene also include apricots, melons and tomatoes. Vegetables easily affected by ethylene include asparagus, broccoli, cabbage and cucumbers. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple, banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Their advice: Place the fruit in a fruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.And that’s the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, written by Jerilyn Watson.建议相伴种植的是有时更基于传统而不是证据。
