That summer, Jesse Owens, a black American, joined the best athletes from 50 nations to compete in the Olympics in Berlin, Germany.There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year because Adolph Hitler was then the leader of Germany. He and his Nazi party believed that white people were better than other races, especially those with dark skin. They were all very surprised when Owens won four gold medals and set new world records.Years later, Jesse Owens wrote that he was most proud of showing Hitler and the world how great a black man could be. Through everything, he never lost confidence in himself. Nor did he ever lose pride in himself. To this day, Jesse Owens is remembered as an amazing man who fully expressed the Olympic spirit.Qs: 1.

Emily was only eight years old.If your child has ever participated in a sport, you’ve undoubtedly met people like Emily’s dad. They expect too much from their children and upset them by putting too much pressure on them. These parents get so wrapped up in（全神贯注于）winning and losing or in low well their won children perform that they lose sight of what’s really important. They forget that the most important goal is helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship occurs when teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other with due respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see adults demonstrating good sportsmanship finally come to understand the real winners are those who know how to be strong and to act with self-respect—whether they win or lose a game. A child who treats others with respect on the playing field will likely carry this attitude into the classroom and other social situations.1.Why was Emily crying by the time the softball game ended?Because children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.2.What is the most important goal in children’s sports?Helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.3.When do athletes demonstrate good sportsmanship?When people treat each other with due respect.4.What, in your opinion, is sportsmanship?5.Please give some examples of how sportsmanship is displayed in daily life.Supplementary Listening task 1: Let’s go divingM: Have you ever tried scuba diving?W: No, I’m kind of scared of the whole diving thing. I mean, I hear all these stories about getting sick from coming up too fast and dangerous fish and stuff. I don’t think it’s for me.M: I guess there’s a lot that could go wrong, but if you’ve been trained and you follow the rules, there’s really nothing to worry about.W: I don’t know.M: It’s really worth trying. It’s a whole other world down there. It’s such an amazing experience.W: That’s what a lot of people tell me, but I think I’d prefer to stick to surfing rather than take my chances in the deep.M: To be honest, I think you have more chance of meeting with an accident surfing than diving.W: As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’ll be OK.M: Diving’s the same. You just have to follow the rules. Say, I’m going next weekend. Why don’t you come along? There’s a pool that isn’t so deep where you can see all kinds of fish and things. It’s perfect for a novice diver.W: Well, if it’s not too deep, it can’t be too bad. Why not? Sure, I’ll go with you.M: Great!1.According to the man, what makes diving scary?

I’ve begun a class that teaches aerobics, and I would like to tell you about it. I think you’ll be very excited about this vigorous exercise and will agree with me that it’s a sport.Aerobic dancing is like other sports in that it can help you improve your mental strength. Often, when doing it, you’ll want to quit. Continuing, despite your desire to stop, forces you to be strong. The encouragement that you receive from those around you helps you to carry on for the entire 45 minutes until the end. It’s something like running a long race.Like swimming, aerobic dancing makes your body stronger. It quickens your heart beat and helps you to lose fat. Many football players, as well as athletes in other sports, do aerobic dancing to improve their fitness. Many other people enjoy it as well. Aerobic dancing can change your life. If you participate regularly, it’ll make you a better person, both mentally and physically. I recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit more out of life.1.According to the passage, how do people feel about aerobic dancing? A2.In which way is aerobic dancing similar to other sports? B3.Who will encourage you not to quit when doing aerobic dancing? C4.How is aerobic dancing like swimming?B5.According to the speaker, who should take part in aerobic dancing?

Time to discuss howyou feel about time!M: Well, since we all come from the same country, I think our views will be similar. Q: Why does the man believe the people will havesimilar views?2.W: It annoys me the way my foreign friends treat time.M: I just read a book about this problem! It's entitledInternational Clock Talk. Q: Which problem is the book about?3.M: Australians are so relaxed about time! It drives me mad!W: That's the way they are. While you're here, you'll have to get used to it. Q: What advice does the woman give the man?4.M: Have you noticed differences between our cultures?W: Sure. In my country, people don't care about time very much. Here, you take it seriously.Q: How do people in the woman's country feel about time?5.W: Can you explain why you're always five minutes late for conferences? M: Oh, I'm sorry. In my country, people are often late.Q: Why is the man late for conferences?6.W: What do you appreciate most about life in Germany?M: German people are rarely late for meetings. I never have to deal with latecomers. Q: What does the man like best about life in Germany?7. M: I've heard that Chinese people are very relaxed about time. W: That used to be true. Nowadays, people are increasingly bothered by lateness. Q: According to the woman, how have Chinese people changed?8.M: Why did you walk out of the restaurant abruptly? We had just started talking. W: Just started? We were there for two hours! In my country, meals take 15 minutes! Q: Why did the woman walk out of the restaurant so abruptly?9. W: What did Mom think about her trip to Russia? I'm so looking forward to hearing about it.M: She didn't say much. When I picked her up at the airport this morning, she was just eager to get home to see Dad. She just said thefood was great there. Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?10. M: It's only 6:30, and you're done! I won't finish work till 10. You're very efficient.W: Well, Tom finished two hours earlier than me.

W: I think it's probably the Swedes.M: Really, what makes you say that?W: Well, on my last trip to Sweden, I ordered a taxi to pick me upat my hotel at 6:25 am. I got to the street at 6:27, but the taxi had already left. M: That's a little hard to believe. Is it true?W: Absolutely, everything runs on time there. There's no room for mistakes. Everyone is very time-conscious!M: They must seem very stiff and serious!W: Sure, but once you get to know them, you find kind, caring people behind their serious faces.M: This is very different from my experiences traveling in South America. Of course, people there are very kind, but they don't care much about time.W: I agree. South Americans don't put very much stress on time.They're always late for everything, but no one seems to mind.1. What does the woman think about Swedish people?2.

People from some countries think it is OK to show up late for a meeting and some people even don't think they need to come at all! As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is notacceptable. Whereas in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact words that I would use to explain my feelings. I even wrote my words down. I planned to discuss this problem at the meeting today, and entitled my speech "International Clock Talk". Unfortunately, I have a problem — no one came to the meeting!1. What is the company's greatest problem?2. Which of the following does the speaker consider is his duty as president of thecompany?3. Why does lateness cause a decrease in efficiency?4.

M: He said, "All that glitters is Olympic gold," to remind me of the Olympic spirit. Q: What was the coach's advice to the man?3.W: Running the hundred-meter dash is nothing compared to the passion necessary to run longer races.M: Are you kidding? I've run both and I know they both require determination. Q: Why does the man disagree with the woman?4.M: Do you think drug taking is widespread among amateur athletes trying to get stronger?W: It's hard to say whether it's true or not. So much of what we hear seems to be rumors.Q: Does the woman believe that there is a problem with amateur athletes taking drugs?5.W: Do you think that he could have run in the Olympics if things had turned out differently?M: Definitely. He had the heart. It was just his injury that cost him the opportunity to compete.Q: Did the athlete compete in the Olympics?6.M: I heard that when the athlete accepted the gold medal, he thanked his mom. W: That's right. He swore that she was responsible for him developing the strength to win the race.Q: Why was the athlete able to win the race?7.W: Come on, you can eat this cake. You don't have to deny yourself sweet food just because you're in the Olympics.M: Yes I do! With the games coming so soon, I have to stay on a healthy diet. Q: Why does the man refuse the woman's offer?8.M: Most people who watch the Olympics would like to be like the athletes they see.W: Maybe they would.

And if you say otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about.W: I know you're strong. That's not the problem.M: Then you think my heart is weak. But that isn't so! I have amazing determination. I swear, my passion is unmatched by any other amateur athlete in the world. I defy you to say otherwise.W: I wouldn't dare. I've seen you run and not quit, and I know your heart is strong.

Years later, Jesse Owens wrote that he was most proud of showing Hitler and the world how great a black man could be.

And I'm going to have some trouble dealing with his culture.Q: What concern does the woman have about marrying a Frenchman?4.W: Has anyone criticized you for marrying someone of a different race? M: I expected people to. But they haven't so far. Besides, I don't care what people think.

We talk every day. He's helped me a lot. Q: What does the woman's husband help her with?8.W: I have a question for you. Would you ever marry a person from another culture? M: That's a tough one! If I do, it'll probably be to someone from a culture similar to mine.Q: What kind of woman would the man marry?\9.W: Our marriage is falling apart.

Is that true? M: Yes, I'm afraid so.W: That's a surprise. What happened to your first wife?M: Your grandma was my first wife.W: But...M: And your grandma is my second wife. You see, I met her while I was in Germany during the war. We knew we loved each other from the moment we met, so we got married right away. But we weren't ready for the resistance we received from her family. Her mother insisted that Americans and Germans weren't compatible. So, she divorced me.W: Too bad. What happened then?M: Three years later, we met again in New York, quite by accident. I was working at the port and she was on a boat coming to the U.S. When we saw each other again after all that time, we decided to overlook her parents' advice.

As someone who has married a foreigner, I know. I'm a Canadian who married a Chinese man. At first, I harbored some reservations. I wasn't sure how compatiblewe'd be. Somehow, however, we made it work. And I found myself growing to become more like him. I started picking up Chinese characteristics and began speaking English with a Chinese accent! My brother joked, saying I was even beginning to look Chinese! My husband has changed a lot too, becoming more like Canadians in attitude. I suppose this is something of a compromise wherein we met each other in the middle. I suspect that we will continue to grow more alike as time goes by; that is exciting to me. A person, after all, should change during his or her lifetime.1. According to the speaker, which circumstances cause the greater change in peopleafter they're married?2. How did the woman feel when she first got married?3. What joke did the woman's brother make about her?4. How has the woman's husband changed?5.

I can't believe how late she is!Q: What surprises the man?2.M: I heard a song on the radio by Elvis, called "A Big Hunko'Love". W: I know that song. It's really happy though, which is why I don't like it. Love songs should be sad, like love.Q: Why does the woman NOT like the song?3.W: You found love in India? How romantic! It's my dream to fall in love in a foreign country!M: It was really exciting at first. After I got used to it though, it was kind of boring.Q: How did the man's feeling of love change?4.W: More than once, I thought about killing myself after I lost my boyfriend. M: Just about everyone gets depressed, but you can't let those feelings get the better of you.Q: According to the man, what does everyone experience after a breakup?5.W: You look so happy! What's going on to make you smile like that? M: For the first time in years, my sister has found love. I'm going to meet the guy today.Q: Why is the man happy?6.W: I can help you find your old girlfriend if you can give me more information about her.M: Name, old address... that's all I can tell you. But maybe it doesn't matter. I probably should try to forget her.Q: Why can the man's old girlfriend NOT be found?7.M: Hey! You look great! Am I wrong, or has something changed about you? W: Something big! I found a man who really makes me happy. He's brightened up my life.Q: What do we know about the woman's new boyfriend?8.M: You've been writing me letters for years. When are you going to admit your love for me?W: What? Love? No, I'm just being friendly. You think everyone loves you! Q: According to the woman, what mistake has the man made?9.W: So, what makes you think that your marriage will last, when 50 percent fail? M: Fifty? Nah. That number is more like 30 or 40 percent. And in my family, there are no divorces.Q: What is the divorce rate in the man's family?10.M: Honey, don't you have any objections to our daughter having a boyfriend? W: None whatsoever! Having a boyfriend will teach her how to become a loving wife someday.Q: What is the relationship between the man and the woman?\LONGW: Another letter.M: For me?W: Who else? It's from...M: Hey, don't look at that! It's private! Give it here!W: OK! Sorry! I was just a bit curious. You've been getting a lot of these letters lately. And they're always in these pink envelopes. It makes me wonder if you've got a girlfriend. That's all.M: If you must know, yeah, I have a girlfriend.W: I thought so! So, what does she look like?M: I don't really know. So far, we've only communicated by mail.I've never seen her.W: Not much of a girlfriend, then, is she?M: I think I'm in love with her. Isn't that what it means to have a girlfriend? W: Well, that wouldn't have been enough for your father and me. We wouldn't have fallen in love without meeting. To be in love, you have to see a person, at least. M: The love I have for my girlfriend is spiritual; I don't have to see her. You wouldn't understand.1. Why does the woman want to see the letter?2. What does the woman want to know?3. According to the man, what doesn't he know?4. According to the woman, what must all people in love have?5. What is the relationship between the speakers?PASS"Going to war was the greatest thing to have ever happened to me," said Albert Thomson, a former soldier. Some people might find this strange, especially considering that Thomson lost an arm and the use of both legs in combat. "Of course, I didn't like the fighting," Thomson said. What he did like was that, by going to war, he met the woman whowould become his wife and the mother of his four children. One effect of World War II was that it brought many young people from different countries together. When peace was achieved, these young people oftenfell in love with people of different nationalities. During World War II, an estimated 1,000,000 American soldiers married women from over 50 different countries. In the Pacific, 16,000 of the 1,000,000 American soldiers married Australian and New Zealand women. Of these, 12,000 went to the U.S. Many of the relationships failed, but some were as happy as Thomson's.1. What did Thomson lose during the war?2. What did Thomson enjoy about the war?3. What is spoken of as a positive effect of World War II?4. How many U.S. soldiers married Australian or New Zealand women?5. What do we know about these marriages?UNIT51.M: I have just found out that my teenage daughter is pregnant! I don't know what to do!W: It's too late for tears. Sounds like all you can do now is to comfort her and tell her you'll support her.Q: What is the woman's advice to the man?2.W: Have you read this book called No More Worries or Tears? It'sfull of adviceon raising children.M: I sure have! It has been a big help. Now, I understand my two sons much better than before.Q: What does the man think about the book?3.M: I took our daughter to the doctor. The doctor took one look at her lungs, and he knew she had been smoking.W: I knew it! But why won't she listen to us? I tell her all the time that smoking is bad.Q: What does the woman tell her daughter?4.W: I'm very impressed by your daughter! She has such good manners and seems so well-behaved!M: She's a good girl. We've always had a good relationship. We're able to talk about things that worry us as well.Q: What do the man and woman agree upon?5.M: Thank you for meeting with me. Can you tell me how my daughter is doing in class?W: Since our last meeting, there has been a great improvement in her work. Q: What has taken place since the man and the woman met the last time?6.M: I can't believe that you bought our daughter eye-liner. Didn't we agree she was too young for it?W: I'm sorry. But she just kept asking and asking. I couldn't stand the constant begging and it made her happy.Q: What is the argument between the man and the woman about?7.M: Every time I teach my son a lesson, he sees something on TVthat undermines what I've said.W: Maybe you should think about getting rid of your television. TV often has a bad influence on people.Q: What does the woman think about television?8.M: My parents are very generous with me. Sometimes, I wonder if their generosity has been bad for my character.W: You seem all right — not too greedy or selfish. I don't think it has done you any harm.Q: How does the woman feel about the man's parents?9.W: Do you think our son is getting into trouble? Is he violent?M: Our son? No way! He knows right from wrong. We've made it clear to him that violence is never the answer to a problem.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?10.W: How's your reading on teenage behavior going? Have you learned anything? M: Yeah. It says here that 50 percent of all teenagers are from broken homes and that these children are 73 percent more likely to commit crimes.Q: How much more likely is it that teenagers from broken homes will commit crimes?LONGW: Many people are having trouble with their sons and daughters. I was just reading a newspaper article on it this morning. There are190,000 teenagers in our city. M: Does it say anything about the causes of teenage violence? My son has been hitting other students at school.W: Yes. It says TV has a major influence. By 18, teenagers have often seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV. And people who have seen the most violence on TV tend to be the most violent.M: My son doesn't watch much TV, so it must be something else.W: Maybe it's music. Teenagers typically listen to four hours of music every day. Many of the songs have very violent messages.M: Does the article say that violence in pop music leads to violent behavior? W: It isn't quite clear. The article reports on two studies. One report says teenagers who listen to pop music are almost twice as likely to become violent, while the other one says there's nosignificant connection between the two factors.1.

Which of the following does the man's son NOT do very often?5. What do the studies say about music and violence?PASSIt's odd that parents are so worried about their teenagers smoking, especially since smoking isn't a teenager's biggest problem. Then what is? Shockingly, a teenager's biggest problem is his own mother andfather! Today's teenagers know they should not smoke, but they don't know when not to listen to their parents. They don't know they shouldsay no to their parents when their parents are being too generous. Therefore, as they receive more and more from their parents, the teenagers become greedy and selfish. Gradually, they have become spoiled. Studies show that spoiled teenagers are much more likely to take drugs and do poorly in school. They may also develop poor manners and get pregnant at an earlier age. However, this is not what parents want to hear. They think they are being kind to their teenagers, and they have a tendency to ignore the damage they are really doing.1. According to the speaker, what seems strange?2. What does the speaker think causes a teenager's problems?3. What does the speaker suggest that parents should NOT do?4. What might teenagers do as a result of being spoiled?5. What are parents likely to ignore?。

By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart becamethe conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose.

Let‟s Talk The Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You” The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined hermusical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters‟ permission. He added a second part,which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters‟ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song. 1. teacher at a kindergarten 2. Good Morning to All 3. Happy Birthday to You 4. Happy Birthday to You GoodMorning to All Possible Retelling for the Teacher‟s Reference The story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens. Thirty-oneyears later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters‟ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters‟ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her word文档可自由复制编辑sister really owned the song. VI.

Singing is not a very in thing, so I don‟t sing very well. 1. F 2. F 3.T 4.T 5.F Task 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line? So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels. 5-4-2-1-3 Task 3: Thank You for the Music I‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing …Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I‟m so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing Thanks for all the joy they‟re bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly What would life be Without a song or a dance what are we word文档可自由复制编辑So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk She says I began to sing long before I could talk And I‟ve often wondered, how did it all start Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can Well, whoever it was, I‟m a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing …Speaking Musical Memories Tony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what‟s the big deal? Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That‟s the Elton John song from the movie. Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you. Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times! Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date,we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night. Tony: Oh,I can understand why you love that song! Isn‟t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs? Unit2 II. Listening Skills 1. W: From what I can remember, the director asked us to rehearse this a hundred times. M: One hundred times? Is the director out of his mind? Q: What does the man imply? 2. M: Do you think we have made enough food for the party? W: The refrigerator is about to explode. Q: What does the woman imply? word文档可自由复制编辑3. W: She said she might become a famous movie star. M: Yes, and pigs might fly. Q: What does the man mean?4. M: Although the man often plays a bad guy in movies, in real life he has a heart of gold. W: So does a hard-boiled egg. Q: What does the woman mean?5. W: What a beautiful sunset! M: Don‟t blink. You might just miss it. Q: What does the man mean? 1. A2.D3.B4.C5.B III. Listening In Task 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter Movie Amy: I‟m so excited about finally seeing this movie! Peter: Me too. I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series? Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime. Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet? Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary. Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think about it! Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary.The girl shares that view because of the writingon the wall in blood. Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could nolonger remember his lines. After severalyears of searching, he finally found atheater that was willing to give him a try.The director said, “This is the mostimportant part, and it has only one line. Atthe opening you walk onto stage carrying arose. You hold the rose to your nose withjust one finger and thumb, smell it deeplyand then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All day long before the play hepracticed his line over and over again.Finally, the time came. The curtain went up,the actor walked onto the stage, looked atthe audience, and with great emotion saidthe line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.”The audience exploded in laughter. Only thedirector was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damnedfool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play!You‟ve ruined me!”word文档可自由复制编辑The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?” “No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!” 1.D 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.B Task 3: Movie Reviews I love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great! Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions. “The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes. “Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills,and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss. 1. He likes to see movies and comment on them. 2. Four. 3. Three. 4. One.

Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I‟m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You‟re welcome. Now Your Turn SAMPLE DIALOG A: Hi, are you busy this weekend? B: Yes. What‟s on your mind? A: I‟ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me? B: Sure.

Laura: Well…I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones. John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible! Laura: Why do you think so? John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art word文档可自由复制编辑special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes. Laura: You‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes,weapons and creatures. Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOG A: What did you think about The Lion King? B: Well…I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It‟s a killer flick. A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good. B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so? A: Well, it‟s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings. B: You‟re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as themurder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet. Model 3 The plot is first-class. John: It‟s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes. John: I know exactly what you mean!

But I don‟t think the character development was that strong.John: Do youthink that has anything to dowith the casting of the movie? Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting wasa little weak.

He‟s soooo cute! Now Your Turn SAMPLE DIALOG A: What do you think about the movie? B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was so strong.

Unit 6 What’s in a Name?新视野大学英语听说教程第二版第2册1. M: That was really something! What do you remember most about the play we watched?W: I remember an actor asking “What’s in a name?” It made me think about my own name and its meaning.Q: What does the woman remember about the play?2. W: What do you think the writer of the play meant when he asked “What’s in a name?”M: I think that he was questioning the importance of names, that is, how they affect our lives. Q: Why did the writer ask the question?3. M: There’s something I don’t understand. Please tell me again why you changed your name. W: I wanted a name that would sound more elegant than the one my parents gave me.Q: Why did the woman change her name?4. M: My English teacher discouraged us from using our Chinese names in class.W: That’s not fair! I’m proud of my own name, and I’m not going to use another!Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to use another name?5. W: In Sociology class, I learned that in many different cultures, names say a lot about people. M: I heard the same thing in Psychology class. Names can have a great influence on a person’s identity.Q: According to the man, how do names affect people?6. W: I’ve heard that the judging people by their names is superficial.M: I couldn't agree more. There are much better ways of judging people.Q: How does the man feel about judging people by their names?7. M: Y our name is very impressive! It sounds beautiful! Lucky you!W: Not really. I never thought that my name correctly expressed who I really am as a person. Q: What is the woman’s impression of her name?8. W: If our child is a boy, I think we should give him your name. What do you think?M: Let’s not. I don’t agree with parents doing that. Naming a child after a parent seems uncreative.Q: Why would n’t the man like to name his son after himself?9. M: I always thought my name was unique, but this book says 17% of babies born in the sameyear as me had the same first name.W: But it also says only 50 of those 600,000 babies also had the same middle name.Q: How many people, born in the same year as the man, were given the same first and middle names?10. W: If we name our son after someone in the Bible, maybe he’ll become more religious.M: I doubt it. My brother has a name from the Bible, and he isn’t at all religious. I think we should think more about this.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?LONGW: There sure is a lot of pressure on Chinese to take a foreign name, don’t you agree?M: I’m not sure. Many people don’t use foreign names even when they go abroad or meet foreigners. Take our leaders, for example.W: Y es, but many internationally famous actors, writers and artists do. Some of them feel they won’t be successful abroad if they use their Chinese names.M: What does it matter? What’s in a name, anyway?W: Names are important, and I feel people are turning their backs on their culture when they takea foreign name.M: I don't think so. Names to me are superficial things. I use a foreign name in my English class just for the sake of convenience. When speaking to people in another language, it’s simpler to use a name that belongs to that language.W: Maybe you’re right, but I still feel the way I do. Using a foreign name doesn’t seem right to me.1.How does the woman feel about Chinese taking foreign names?2.What are people doing when they take foreign names according to the woman?3.What does the man think of names?4.When does the man use a foreign name?5.What does the woman decide in the end?PASSI’m going to change my name tomorrow. Does this sound odd? Let me explain. Since I was a baby, my name has been a label that has identified me as I grew. However, I have changed a lot. Most of all, my ideas on life have developed. By the time I become an adult, I was clearly not the same person I was as a baby. So why should my name be the same? I’ve decided to change it to reflect my changes as a person. Some people tell me they don't approve of this plan. They think I am disrespecting my parents, who named me. But I’ve spoken with my parents, and they agree with me. Keeping the same name throughout life is nonsense. The only real problem for me is that it will take people a long time to get used to my new name.1.What does the speaker plan to do tomorrow?2.What does the speaker say has changed about her the most?3.Why don’t some people agree with her plan?4.What do her parents think of her plan?5.What problem does the speaker anticipate after changing her name?。

That summer, Jesse Owens, a black American, joined the best athletes from 50 nations to compete in the Olympics in Berlin, Germany.There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year because Adolph Hitler was then the leader of Germany. He and his Nazi party believed that white people were better than other races, especially those with dark skin. They were all very surprised when Owens won four gold medals and set new world records.Years later, Jesse Owens wrote that he was most proud of showing Hitler and the world how great a black man could be. Through everything, he never lost confidence in himself. Nor did he ever lose pride in himself. To this day, Jesse Owens is remembered as an amazing man who fully expressed the Olympic spirit.Qs: 1.

Emily was only eight years old.If your child has ever participated in a sport, you’ve undoubtedly met people like Emily’s dad. They expect too much from their children and upset them by putting too much pressure on them. These parents get so wrapped up in（全神贯注于）winning and losing or in low well their won children perform that they lose sight of what’s reallyimportant. They forget that the most important goal is helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship occurs when teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other with due respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see adults demonstrating good sportsmanship finally come to understand the real winners are those who know how to be strong and to act with self-respect—whether they win or lose a game. A child who treats others with respect on the playing field will likely carry this attitude into the classroom and other social situations.1.Why was Emily crying by the time the softball game ended?Because children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.2.What is the most important goal in children’s sports?Helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.3.When do athletes demonstrate good sportsmanship?When people treat each other with due respect.4.What, in your opinion, is sportsmanship?5.Please give some examples of how sportsmanship is displayed in daily life.Supplementary Listening task 1: Let’s go divingM: Have you ever tried scuba diving?W: No, I’m kind of scared of the whole diving thing. I mean, I hear all these stories about getting sick from coming up too fast and dangerous fish and stuff. I don’t think it’s for me.M: I guess there’s a lot that could go wrong, but if you’ve been trained and you follow the rules, there’s really nothing to worry about.W: I don’t know.M: It’s really worth trying. It’s a whole other world down there. It’s such an amazing experience.W: That’s what a lot of people tell me, but I think I’d prefer to stick to surfing rather than take my chances in the deep.M: To be honest, I think you have more chance of meeting with an accident surfing than diving.W: As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’ll be OK.M: Diving’s the same. You just have to follow the rules. Say, I’m going next weekend. Why don’t you come along? There’s a pool that isn’t so deep where you can see all kinds of fish and things. It’s perfect for a novice diver.W: Well, if it’s not too deep, it can’t be too bad. Why not? Sure, I’ll go with you.M: Great!1.According to the man, what makes diving scary? D2.What measures might help ensure the safety of diving? C3.According to the conversation, what has be woman heard about diving? D4.What does the man think about surfing?

I think you’ll be very excited about this vigorous exercise and will agree with me that it’s a sport.Aerobic dancing is like other sports in that it can help you improve your mental strength. Often, when doing it, you’ll want to quit. Continuing, despite your desire to stop, forces you to be strong. The encouragement that youreceive from those around you helps you to carry on for the entire 45 minutes until the end. It’s something like running a long race.Like swimming, aerobic dancing makes your body stronger. It quickens your heart beat and helps you to lose fat. Many football players, as well as athletes in other sports, do aerobic dancing to improve their fitness. Many other people enjoy it as well. Aerobic dancing can change your life. If you participate regularly, it’ll make you a better person, both mentally and physically. I recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit more out of life.1.According to the passage, how do people feel about aerobic dancing? A2.In which way is aerobic dancing similar to other sports? B3.Who will encourage you not to quit when doing aerobic dancing? C4.How is aerobic dancing like swimming?B5.According to the speaker, who should take part in aerobic dancing? DTask 3 VOA1)on the ball, 2)did something unexpected, 3)at the job or activity, 4) hit it out of the park, 5) think it over, 6) is very successful, 7) complete a job or activity, 8) did something wrong, 9) how much it is worth, 10) close to my selling price。

CUnderstanding the PassageThe biggest problem in my company has to do with culture, in particular our different ways of looking at time. People from some countries think it is OK to show up late for a meeting and some people even don’t think they need to come at all. As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is not acceptable. Whereas in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact words that I would use to explain my feelings.

Some people might find this strange, especially considering that Thomson lost an arm and the use of both legs in combat,: Of course, I didn’t like the fighting,” Thomson said. What he did like was that, by going to war, he met the woman who would become his wife and the mother of his four children.One effect of World War II was that it brought many young people from different countries together. When peace was achieved, these young people often fell in love with people of different nationalities .During World War II, an estimated 1,000,000 American soldiers married women from over 50 different countries. In the Pacific 16,000 of the 1,000,000 American soldiers married Australian and New Zealand women.

There are 190,000 teenagers in our city.M: Does it say anything about the causes of teenage violence? My son has been hitting other students at school.W: Yes. It says TV has a major influence.By18, teenagers have often seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV. And people who have seen the most violence on TV tend to be the most violent.M: My son doesn’t watch much TV, so it must be something else.W: Maybe it’s music. Teenagers typically listen to four hour of music every day. Many of the songs have very violent messages.M: Does the article say that violence in pop music leads to violent behavior?W: It isn’t quite clear. The article reports on two studies.

A4. Which of the following does the man’s son NOT do very often? D5. What do the studies say about music and violence? AUnderstanding a PassageIt’s odd that parents are so worried about their teenagers smoking, especially since smoking isn’t teenager’s biggest problem. Then what is? Shockingly, a teenager’s biggest problem is his own mother and father! Today’s teenagers know they should not smoke, but they don’t know when not to listen to their parents. They don’t know they should say no to their parents when their parents are being too generous. Therefore, as they receive more and more from their parents, the teenagers become greedy and selfish. Gradually, they have become spoiled. Studies show that spoiled teenagers are much more likely to take drugs and do poorly in school. They may also develop poor manners and get pregnant at an earlier age. However, this is not what parents want to hear. They think they are being kind to their teenagers, and they have a tendency to ignore the damage they are really doing.1. According to the speaker, what seems strange? D2.

What do you remember most about the play we watched？W: I remember an actor asking “What’s in a name?” It made me think about my own name and its meaning.Q: What does the woman remember about the play?2. W: What do you think the write of the play meant when he asked “What’s in a name?”M: I think that he was questioning the importance of names, that is, how they affect our lives.Q: Why did the writer ask the question?3. M: There’s something I don’t understand. Please tell me again why you changed your name.W: I wanted a name that would sound more elegant than the one my parents gave me.Q: Why did the woman change her name?4. M: My English teacher discouraged us from using our Chinese names in class.W: That’s not fair! I’m proud of my own name, and I’m not going to use another!Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to use another name?5. W: In Sociology class, I learned that in many different cultures, name say a lot about people.M: I heard the same thing in Psychology class.

W: I’ve heard that judging people by their names is superficial.M: I couldn’t agree more. There are much better ways of judging people.Q.: How does the man feel about judging people by their names?7. M: Your name is very impressive! It sounds beautiful! Lucky you!W: Not really. I never thought that my name correctly expressed who I really am as a person.Q: What is the woman’s impression of her name?8. W: If our child is a boy, I think we should give him your name. What do you think?M: Let’s not. I don’t agree with parent doing that. Naming a child after a parent seems uncreative.Q: Why wouldn’t the man like to name his son after himself?9. M: I always thought my name was unique, but this book says 17% of babies born in the same year as me had the same first name.W: But it also says only 50 of those 600,000 babies also had the same middle name.Q: How many people, born in the same year as the man, were given the same first and middle name?10. W: If we name our son after someone in the Bible, maybe he’ll become more religious.M: I doubt it. My brother has a name from the Bible, and he isn’t at all religious.

Many people don’t use foreign names even when they go abroad or meet foreigners. Take our leaders, for example.W: Yes, but many internationally famous actors, writers and artists do. Some of them feel they won’t be successful abroad if they use their Chinese names.M: What does it matter? What’s in a name, anyway?W: Names are important, and I feel people are turning their backs on their culture when they take a foreign name.M: I don’t think so. Names to me are superficial things. I use a foreign name in my English class just for the sake of convenience.When speaking to people in another language, it’s simpler to use a name that belongs to that language.W: Maybe you’re right, but I still feel the way I do. Using a foreign name doesn’t seem right to me.Questions:1. How does the woman feel about Chinese taking foreign names? A2. What are people doing when they take foreign names according to the woman? D3. What does the man think of names? D4. When does the man use a foreign name? C5. What does the woman decide in the end? BUnderstanding a PassageI’m going to change my name tomorrow. Does this sound odd? Let me explain. Since I was a baby, my name has been a label that has identified me as I grew. However, I have changed a lot. Most of all, my ideas on life have developed. By the time I became an adult, I was clearly not the same person I was as a baby. So why should my name be the same? I’ve decided to change it to reflect my changes as a person. Some people tell me they don’t approve of this plan. They think I am disrespecting my parents, who named me. But I’ve spoken with my parents, and they agree with me. Keeping the same name throughout life is nonsense. The only real problem for me is that it will take people a long time to get used to my new name.Questions:。
