Unit5Inside viewConversation1Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis. Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert!Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting complimentsJanet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.Andy:Don’t you believe it!Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.Andy: Not only that, but I think you’d make a really TV presenter.Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here. Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信） you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.Andy:Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cook great food! Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managersAndy:OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle managementjobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.Janet:What’s the glass ceilingAndy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的） barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.Conversation 2Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceilingAndy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.Janet: It not fair.Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.Janet:That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.Andy: And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women.Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.Andy:You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And thereare plenty of women’s football teams!Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!Janet: I give up. What else has changedAndy:I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home. Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.Andy: Anyway, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course.Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!Andy:And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.Outside ViewIn South Korea, women are participating more in the economic and political sectors than they were a decade ago. But career aspirations for female students in South Korea still tend to be based on the traditional division of gender roles. They are accustomed to thinking of such jobs as teaching and nursing, what their male counterparts aim to become scientists and judges. Many of these young women are aware that if they want to be independent they need to train so they can have their own source of income. In the previous generation, women did not have the right to speak, because they did not have their own financial support. Therefore, our generation of women must work to be financially independent. The growth in the number of women who work has caused the typical South Korean household to change. For example, there are more women living alone. This is because they can make their own money rather than depend on a man to support them. There has also been a rapid rise in the numberof families in which both parents work. Married women increasingly want to participate in society but they need to balance family life and work. After marriage, we all struggle with how to take care of our children and work. The introduction of day care centers at some work places, such as the Chohung bank, has helped to make it possible for mothers to work. Whilst these women are at work, their children are in the day care center. There they are usually very well looked after, receiving a balanced diet, playing lots of games and doing plenty of exercise. Day care centers are increasingly popular all across the world because they enable parents to work. Women employees at Chohung Bank find it a big help, although the system is far from perfect. So far, my children have been well taken care of by our day care center. However, it will be difficult when my children go to elementary school because I often have to work late. Who will take care of them Our family recently decided to live together with our grandparents who might be able to take care of my children. Mothers also face other problems when they go to work. Women have traditionally been responsible for raising their children and often feel a strong sense of guilt when they put their children into day care. Some worry that it will have a negative impact on their children and that they may fail as a parent. On top of this, South Korean women often end up being less well paid than men with the same education. Korean women’s status in the labor market has not been much improved in spite of a continuing rise in their presence in the labor force and the level of their education. The majority of working women are still crowded in low wage and low status jobs many of which are found in the secondary market. So there are still lots of issues facing women going to work--- they are still having to choose between their families and their careers. What can be done to ensure that women are rewarded for their valuable contribution to the working worldSector 部门，行业，领域Aspiration 志向，抱负Whilst 在……时，虽然Counterpart 植物相当的人，职能相当的物Guilt 负罪感，内疚，自责Presence 存在，在场，出席Listening inPresenter: Has feminism(女权主义，男女平等主义） gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as stupid or weakSpeaker 1:Definitely, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that annoys me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it was one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole attitude now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.Speaker 2:Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of progress in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的）, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are portrayed in advertisements.Speaker 3: Has feminism gone too far in advertisements No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real equality of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as objects in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really don’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as super-masculine, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.Speaker4：Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weakmakes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they are more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole, I’d disagree;I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know-looking powerful. Then coming home to their wives who look after children.Speaker5: Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying. There’s that one where this woman is angry with her partner for his choice of car insurance. The idea is that she’s smart and he’s dumb（笨的，愚蠢）.Speaker6:I’ve never really thought about it, I think it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t, to show the guy as a bit of an idiot and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke. I don’t really know much about feminism. I don’t think so, no.Passage 2:The differences between men and women interest everyone. What are these differences exactly How great are they To what extent are they due to biology and how much the result of upbringing A lot of research has been done on the subject. Tests show, for example, that men tend to be more logical and analytical than women. Their spatial skills are better and they‘re better at problem-solving and mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, learn to speak earlier than boys and in general women have better verbal skills than men .They are more nurturing ,have more empathy and have better social skills.Research suggests that at least some of these differences are a result of our biochemistry and brain function. Brain scans show that men have bigger brains than women. Before men get too excited about this we should point out that both sexes do equally well in intelligence tests. So the fact that men have bigger brains does not mean they‘re more intelligent. But there are other important brain differences. Men have more grey matter in their brains and women have more white matter. Becauseof the different ways in which white matter and grey matter function, this could explain why men are better at spatial tasks and mathematics, and women are better at language skills.Now let’s take a look at the effect of hormones on the brain. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the body masculine .It‘s present in both men and women but obviously there‘s a lot more of it in men .It seems that testoste rone has the effect of making men more interested in systems and less interested in people .This would explain why women have better social skills than men. All this is not to say that it‘s biological differences alone that make men and women different. Upbringing is very important too and parents treat boys and girls quite differently. For example, up to the age of two, mothers make more eye contact with daughters and talk to them more. Men are a lot more physical with their sons and play rougher and noisier games with them. Both men and women speak more loudly to boys than to girls and girls are stroked(轻抚) more than boys. We will probably never be able to decide exactly how important upbringing and biology are in creating male and female differences. But the journey of discovery is fascinating.。

Discuss with your group members about the l essons you have learnedfrom the two vid eo clips.IV．Listening TestSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear a passage. At the end of the passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer.1. A) Because hands-free cell phones need improving.B) Because drivers d on’t have enough time to use them.C) Because drivers’ attention is turned to their conversation.D) Because drivers tend to ignore traffic lights in this case.2.

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 8 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 9 to 11 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Some traffic jams happen with no apparent cause —no accid ent, no stopped vehicle, no lanes cl osed for construction. A team of mathematicians has d evel oped a mod el that 1) d escribes how and und er what conditions such jams form, which could help road 2) d esigners minimize the od ds of their formation. Key tothe new study is the realization that the mathematics of such jams is very much 3) similar to the equations that d escribe expl osion waves.The discovery 4) enabl ed the team to solve traffic jam equations that were first theorized in the 1950s. The equations mod el traffic jams as a self- sustaining wave. 5 ) Factors such as traffic speed and traffic d ensity are used to6 ) calculate the conditions und er which a jam will form and how fast it will7) spread. Once such a jam is formed, it’s almost 8)impossibl e to break up — drivers just have to wait it out. However, 9) the mod el coul d help engineer d esign roads with enough capacity to keep traffic d ensity l ow enoughto minimize the occurrence of such jams. It can also help determine safe speed limits and id entify stretches of road where high d ensities of traffic — hot spots for accid ents — are likely to form. The team d ealt with the problem last year 10)after a group of Japanese researcher s d emonstrated the formation of a jam in an experiment. Drivers were tol d to travel 30 kilometers per hour and maintain a constant distance from other cars. Very quickly, disturbances appeared and a jam formed. 11) the d enser the traffic was, the faster the jams formed..V．Fun TimeDirections: You are going to watch a funny video clip “ Traffic Here, Traffic There”. After watching, discuss the following questions with your partner.1. What d oes the vid eo clip mainly tell us?A: It mainly tells us the bad traffic in Istanbul.2. What different means of traffic did the man try and what happened ineach case?A: At first he took a taxi but was stuck in traffic, so he decided towalk. Then he jumped onto a tram but it was too crowded and uncomfortable. At last he got onto a bus but the situation wasworse.3. Why did the man lose a kilogram? Have you ever been in a similar situation? A: Because it was crowded on the tram and he sweated a lot4. Is the man familiar with the city?A: No, he is a stranger there。

Now, back to you, Lucia …Listening Activity 3: Audio Track 3-5-61. Hi, I’m Eduardo. I got accepted to college recently. Since the s chool is just in my neighborhood, I’m going to live at home. I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business.

This practice is known as channel surfing. In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV. There were only three channels to choose from. Cable television has changed all that. There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves. This business traveller doesn't like anything. Many people like a particular type of programme. Speaker 1TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.Speaker 2 I usually watch dramas, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.Speaker 3 I like watching talk shows.Speaker 4 I guess of all my favourite TV showsI'd like news programmes.Speaker 5 I like to watch soap operas and news.

More and more board game cafes are opening in different neighborhoods.In some of cafes, customers pay an hourly rate to play tabletop games; in others a flat fee allows them to play for an unlimited time. On top of the fee, the cafes also require customers to purchase food and drinks.Most cafes offer hundreds of games, varying from classics like “Monopoly”and “Battleship”to European strategy games like “Settlers of Catan”and “Agricola”. They also have staff members to teach customers the rules of the game if necessary. This means that players are more comfortable exploring games that they haven’t played before.People enjoy going to these cafes because they can try out the games. It is cheaper than buying the games and then deciding they don’t like them.

The apartments are similar, but each family’s home is a little different.1. The family in apartment one has a sofa in the living room. There’s a lamp next to the sofa.Across from it is a TV. This family loves to travel, and there are photos of their trips together near the TV.2. In apartment two, there is a TV on a small cabinet. Near the TV, there are three trophies. Thefather is on a bowling team, and these are his. His children play sports, too.3. Apartment three is very different from the others. There’s no rug on the floor and there areblinds—not curtains—on the glass door.4. The family in apartment four is sitting on the sofa. The glass door is open.

By 2030, it will be 60 percent. With more people in cities, there is less space, and housing costs more. What can we do? Here’s an idea.Container HousingThe city of Amsterdam is using old shipping containers as housing for students and other people. The containers are small—30 square meters (three hundred twenty square feet)—but they are comfortable. There is space for a living area, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. These houses are also inexpensive: only a few thousand dollars to buy. Today, the containers are used around the world as homes and student dormitories, as well as shops, offices, and hotels.Tiny HousesIn the U.S., Jay Shafer makes tiny houses for people. The smallest is only 9 square meters (98 square feet). The houses are small, but they have everything you need. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. On the second floor is a bedroom. It is big enough for two people. The houses are also inexpensive. Most are $15,000.1. Container Housing集装箱房屋2. Tiny Houses微型房屋Listening 2ScriptM1: I go to school in Amsterdam and I need some place to live. Container homes are comfortable and inexpensive. They’re perfect for students.F1: I don’t know ... I know container apartments are a good idea, but I think they’re ugly. They look like big boxes.M2: A tiny house is perfect for one or two people, but I have a family of four. They’re just too small.F2: Tiny houses are inexpensive to make and buy so you save money. Also, they’re small so you use less water and energy. They’re good for people and the Earth.1.some place to live一个住的地方2. a family of four一家四口人3.save money省钱LISTENING SKILLSScript1) Laura is one of the top students in Grade One.2) Ted likes to sing English pop songs.3) Listening is not a big problem for me.4) Frank can speak six languages fluently.5) I’d like to read novels and short stories in English.6) Bob’s strong local accent makes it difficult for us to understand him.1. one of the top students优秀学生之一2. local accent当地口音PART III VIDEO ECO-FRIENDLY HOMESCRIPTNarrator:This is the Cohen’s home. It’s a three-bedroom house in a suburb in the United States. It’s a nice area, but there is a problem with this house: it uses a lot of energy.But this isn’t surprising. Houses and buildings use forty percent of all the energy in the United States. And many homes waste a lot of energy.Amory Lovins teaches people to save energy in their homes.Today, he is visiting the Cohen’s house. Lovins walks around the house, and he finds different problems. There’s a problem with the heater in one room, and the freezer in the kitchen. Lovins:“Oh, what have we here...?”Narrator:We don’t have to use a lot of electricity in our homes, says Lovins. There are simple ways to save energy.It’s surprising; homes waste a lot of energy, even while you sleep.To save energy in your home, unplug electronics when you’re not using them.Lovins:“Do you see that little red light down in the corner?”Narrator:Now, the TV is off, but it’s still using energy because it’s plugged in. The Cohens pay sixty dollars every year for this extra energy. The Cohen family has lots of electronics. They’re all plugged in. So they’re always using energy.Lovins lives in Aspen, Colorado, in the mountains. His house is very eco-friendly. All of the home’s electricity comes from solar panels.Some days, it’s below -40 degrees Celsius here. But Lovins’ house is warm, thanks to the solar panels.In fact, Lovins’whole house uses very little energy—only 120 watts. That’s a little more energy than you need to turn on one light bulb.It’s a very eco-friendly home.1. a three-bedroom house一幢有三间卧室的房子2.unplug electronics拔出电器的电源插头3.plug in插上电源的插头4.thanks to幸亏；由于。

Track 5-1-3之马矢奏春创作C. Now listen to the whole interview. Circle the correct words or phrases to complete each sentence according to whateach speaker says.Cynthia: And welcome back to "Book Talk" on WKRZ. I'm your host Cynthia Marques, and this morning we'llbe reviewing Corinne Maier's French bestsellerBonjour Paresse -- which translates into Englishas Hello Laziness. Maier's book, Hello Laziness,takes a humorous look at the corporate workplace,and encourages readers todo as little as possiblewhen they're at work.Joining me to discuss thebook are David Sorenson, a journalist for CityTithes magazine, and Marc Pryce, a professor ofsocial psychology at Bower UniversitySo, let'sstart with Maier's opinion in Hello Laziness thatwe work because we have to -- because we need themoney, not because most of us love out'jobs.David, what are your thoughts about this? David: I completely agree with that .... I mean, the fact is, most of us do go to work for thepaycheck ... not because we love our jobs ... weneed money to live.yntbia: Are you speaking frompersonal experience?David: Oh absolutely! Who hasn't felt this way -- especially if you've worked in a boring job withlittle chance of advancement? ... Anyway, Ithought that Maier dealt with the subject ofoffice work in a very witty, amusing way in herbook. 1 laughed out loud several times whilereading it.Cynthia: Can you give us an example?David: Of what made me laugh? Well, for instance, she gives all of these wonderful tips for doing aslittle as possible at work -- things likepretending to be a smoker so that you can takefrequent five-minute breaks.Cynthia: That's a good one.David: ... Or ... um ... hiding a magazine inside a large work manual.Cynthia: Right, her tips were funny ... So what about you, Marc? What did you think of the book?Marc: Well, in places, it was humorous, no question.But overall, I found it to be rather negative --in spite of the humor.Cynthia: What bothered you about the book? Can you think of a specific example?Marc: Well, one thing Maier says in her book is to be nice to temporary workers. Why? Because they arethe only ones who do any real work. In otherwords, the other people in the company are alljust modern-day slaves ...They aren't doinganything meaningful.David: Now I think that's pretty funny.Marc: And then there's another tip from the author: Never accept a position of responsibility. Shesays that you'll just have to work extra hard forlittle money. Instead of encouraging people tofigure out what else they could be doing withtheir lives, she tells them it's better to justgoof off at work. 1 didn't really find that veryfunny, 1 guess.David: Yes, but Maier is being ironic, Marc ...Marc: I know what you're saying, David, but what I'm getting at is that Maier's book encourages peopleto just give up. She claims that it's pointless totry to change things in the workplace ... you know,that you can be WordStrd by another person at anytime. Her message is that you can't get ahead intoday's workplace, and you'll probably be laid offeventually, so why bother.David: Yes, but Maier wasn't trying to write a self-help book, Marc. When she tells us to go for the mostuseless position in the company so that you won'thave to work too hard ... well, she's not beingentirely serious. It's kind of a joke.Cynthia: Well, I can see that our listeners are going to have to read the book and decide for themselves.Thank you both for joining us today.Track 5-1-8C. Pair work. Now listen to the whole interview. Pay special attention to what Resende said towards the end of the interview. Who do you think may have said each statement below7 Write the person's name. Then compare your answers with a partner and give your reasons. Interviewer: Why don't we start off by talking a little about how you developed your interest in foodand cooking?Resende: We!l, food has always been my passion. As a child, ! used to love preparing meals with mygrandmother, who was from Brazil. And as I gotolder, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen,experimenting with different dishes Thai soups,German tortes, Italian pastas.Interviewer: But you never considered a career in the culinary arts7Resende: Not at all. You know, as a kid, I grew up learning that a person went to college and gota job in business, law, or something like that.Telling myparents that ! wanted to "studyfood" would’ve been impossible. They neverwould have agreed.Interviewer: So, fast forward to the present. You're nowa business development manager for aninternational technology company. !t doesn'texactly sound like the career you dreamed of.Tell us, how did The Mediterranean came intoyour life?Resende: About three years ago, I moved into anapartment around the corner from this storeit's a lovely little place that specializes inimported food from Greece, Spain, and Italy.There's a deli as well. Anyway, i'd drop inthere once a week or so to pick up differentitems. But the next thing you knew, i wastalking with the owner, Alex Kanellos, about acheese or a certain wine. Then one day, hejokingly suggested that i work in the delisince I had all of these ideas. I just laughedwhen he said it, but when I got home, !couldn't stop thinking that maybe this part-time job was an opportunity in disguise. interviewer: So you took the job?Resende: Oh yeah. ! went to the deli the next morning.I had butterflies in my stomach. ! keptthinking ... I'm thirty years old and I'mtaking a part-time job in a deli. What am Idoing? When I asked Mr. Kanellos if he wasserious about letting me work there part-time,he looked a little surprised at first. Butthen, Mr. Kanelloshanded me an apron, and therest is history, so to speak, i've beenworking there every Saturday for the lastcouple of years.Interviewer: What led to your decision to buy the deli?Resende: About eight months ago, Mr. Kanellos mentioned that he was getting ready to retire, and wasgoing to sell the place. So, l startedthinking ... lfhe's going to sell it tosomeone, why not me? When lapproached Mr.Kanellos with the idea, he was very open to it.l also think he was pleased to turn over theplace to someone he knew.Interviewer: And what about your job with the tech company?Resende: I'm going to stay for another three months, until Mr. Kanellos retires.Interviewer: How are your family and friends reacting to the news?Resende: My friends are really happy for me. A lot of them have jobs they can't stand -- especiallymy friend Suki -- and most would love to makea change in their lives. My boyfriend has beenpretty supportive, too, though at first, hethought I was crazy to work part-time at thedeli. My mom isn't thrilled, though. She'sworried about me leaving a "good job" to runthe store, but I know that as a smallbusinesswoman, 1 can be successful, too. I'msure she'll come around!Unit 1, Lesson BForced to outsourceTV reporter: Silicon Valley software developer S.Atlantic makes no apologies for the fact thatmost of its work is done by engineers in India.Much of its business involves helping start-upsoftware companies launch their products.Without India's cost savings, those companieswouldn't exist, because venture capital firmsnow require software start-ups to offshorebefore they'll invest.O'Brian: It is now a table stake for a software start-up to do a pretty large percentage of theirproduct development with an outsourcing andoffshore model. And I would say the majorityof that work is done in Indiatoday, withChinastarting to grow quickly, and other areas aswell: Eastern Europe, Latin America, otherparts of South Asia.TV reporter: S. Atlantic's founders are Indian immigrants, as are most of its 70 U.S. employees. It'sHyderabad, India, software developers makeabout a quarter of what U.S. workers would.That translates to 50% overall costsavings forits clients. The CEO of software start-upKommendio says he had no other option.Gil: Not in Silicon Valley during one of the most -- the toughest economic periods in history.Because capital is very, very tight.TV reporter: (;il says the lower costs will also speed up Kommendio's development cycle by at least ayear. S. Atlantic's offshoring business isgrowing faster than it expected. The companyplans to add a total of about a thousand jobsin India this year and next. S. Atlantic sayshiring in the United States will beproportional,so that's less than a hundredjobs. Nationwide, information technologyemployment continues to struggle. At the endof the first quarter, it was 2% higher thanlast year, and that's expected to slow becausetech companies plan to hire fewer than halfthenumber of workers they did last year.O'Brian: It's clear that there is a lot of creative destruction in capitalist societies andeconomies, and nowhere more so than in SiliconValley.And the benefits of that sort ofcreative destruction, at the bottom line, arefundamentally, economic growth and more jobsin the long run.TV reporter: In the near term, however, most ofS.Atlantic's jobs will be created in India.Your reporter, Fremont, California.Track 5-2-3C. Now listen to the whole conversation. Complete eachsentence with words and information you hear. Mr. Young: Hi, Carrie ... Joel. It's nice to meet you.Please, have a seat.Joel: Thanks, Mr. Young.Mri Young: So, is this your first time visiting with a financial advisor?Carrie: Yeah, it is for me.Joel: Me too.Mr. Young: OK, that's fine. Now, in preparation for our meeting, you were asked to do a littlehomework -- to create a budget of sorts onyour own. Did you get a chance to do that? Carrie: Yeah, we did, but it was tough. I don't see how it's going to work.Mr, Young: And you, Joel? How do you fee!?Joel: Pretty much the same. But, ifwe don't get things under control, we're going to be in bigtrouble.Mr. Young: From looking at your expenses, I’d agree with you there. OK ... next question ... anyidea how you got into this situation?Joel: Credit cards. We splurged last year: we bought a new entertainment center for theapartment, went on vacation to the Bahamas, Ibought a new car. Basically, we spent a lot ofmoney on things we didn't need, and now we'vemaxed out all our cards.Carrie: And we don't have any kind of financial plan.We're living paycheck to paycheck, I’m havinganxiety attacks just thinking about it. What'sgoing to happen if one of us loses our job?Mr. Young: Let's take this one step at a time and see if we can lessen your anxiety, OK? ... Thesituation certainly isn't hopeless. One thingto do is to start tracking your expenses. Then,make cutting back on these expenses a priority, Carrie: That's easier said than done ... OK, so where do we start?Mr. Young: Well, the first thing to do, I think, is to eliminate some of your bigger expenses --bring down the costs ... Let's see ... Joel,you're making payments on a new car, aren'tyou?Joel: Yes, I am.Mr. Young: Well, one thing I’d suggest right off the bat is for you to sell that new car.Joel: I'd hate to lose my car...Mr. Young: Well, get a used one then. The payments willbe much more manageable.Joel: OK ... I guess I can accept that ... But honestly, how will we ever pay off thosecredit cards?Mr. Young: Hold on a second. We have to start slowly and be focused. Before you can get out of debt,you have to start spending less money ingeneral -- making some small changes.... Now,let's look at your daily habits. You havecable TV, right?Joel: Yeah.Mr. Young: And what about magazine subscriptions? Did you calculate that for me?Carrie: Yep. We spend about $250 a year on magazines.The cable bill runs about ... I don't know ...what is it?Joel: About 50 buck a month?Carrie: I think it's more like 60 ... So that comes out to about $720 a year.Mr. Young: OK, so let's say we cut back on halfofthe magazines -- that's $125 a year --pluseliminate the $720 for cable.Carrie: Wow, that's almost $900 saved over a year.And we hardly watch TV anyway.Joel: Seems doable to me.Mr. Young: This is the way we need to look at it. Now, what about entertainment -- things like goingto the movies, concerts, clubbing, going outtoeat...?Joel: Well, we don't really go out that often.Carrie: Yeah, maybe we go to the movies or see a band somewhere once or twice a month.Joel: And we do meet friends for dinner on Saturdays, but most of the week, we eat athome.Carrie: Yeah, but we do get take-out at the Chinese restaurant about once a week.Joel: Oh yeah. And I usually grab a cup of coffee in the morning -- on my way to work. Does thatcount?Mr. Young: You know, if you buy a cup of coffee every morning it can really add up. Just think abouthow much you spend every day. Now think abouthow much that coffee will cost you over 10years.Joel: Wow. I had no idea.Mr. Young: Yeah ... I'd suggest taking your own from home.Carrie: Sounds like another great way for us to save. Mr. Young: Good! Now, about eating out and going places with friends...Track 5-2-4A. A professor is talking to his class about migrantworkers. Listen to the lecture and number the topics in the order ill which they are presented.Today, we are going to start looking at the impact that migrant workers have been having around the world, andat some of the challenges that they face on both personal and institutional levels. By the end of this lecture, 1 hopeyou come to realize that migrant workers are not only very important to national economies but also to the globaleconomy, and that they will continue to grow in importance as countries and companies compete more aggressively toenhance their human resources.Let me start out by giving you some statistics. Today, almost one out of every ten residents in manyindustrializednations is from another country, and the number of people living and working outside their home countries has morethan doubled since the mid-1970s to almost 180 million.In fact, over the last ten years, thousands of people have traveled abroad in search of opportunity, and thismovement has been noticed, and even encouraged, by different countries, as I will explain later. For example, Japanand Canada, and countries in Europe, Australasia, and the Middle East are beginning to realize how important workersfrom abroad are to their economies. Migrant workers bring with them special skills needed in an industrialized nation,and they are also willing to do Certain jobs that many citizens won't do, such as janitorial and factory work.In addition, by working abroad and sending money home, migrant workers are helping to improve the lives of theirfamilies. Money sent home can be used to buy a house, send someone to school, or start a small business. These are opportunities that families in some countries might not have otherwise.Moreover, the money that migrant workers send home has animpact on the economies of their countries of origin. It helps to sustain, and sometimes improve, the economic we!l-being of the home country. In 2002, for example, Brazilian workers in Japan sent more money home than Brazil made by exporting coffee that year. Another statistic points out that a very small percentage of india's population, only zero point one percent (0.1%), live and work in the U.S. However, these workers earn and send back almost ten percent (10%) of india's national income.Industrialized nations that have the largest number of migrant workers are now changing their laws to make it easierfor foreign workers to enter, and remain in, their countries. Many countries are now allowing dual citizenship -- which was quite uncommon in the recent past, especially in developing nations. And now, a citizen of one country can live and work abroad as a citizen of another nation, and still send money back to his or her home country.Living and working in a foreign country is not easy of course, but many migrant workers have a strong sense of purpose. One man I met from Mumbai told me thatalthough he missed being with his family, he knew that he had made the right decision to move here, and in the long run, it would be worth it.Now, are there any questions before we move on?Unit 2, Lesson BBritain's migrant boomTV reporter: When the flags were raised back in May to salute the arrival often new countries in theEuropean Union, there was one sour note.Worried at the prospect of increasedimmigration, many of the older EU states putrestrictions on the free movement of incomersto work in their countries. But now those whodidn't, like Britain, are gaining dividends. FPB official: Several British firms have actually set up shop in Poland for a few days, doing a sort ofwork trade, ifyou like, where people haveapplied for jobs and the firms found them --have signed them up, found them accommodationhere, and they're working happily.TV reporter: Handy for Poland, where unemployment runs around 20%; but good, too, for Britain, whereemployers back the Bank of England's verdictthat the influx of job seekers is helping tokeep down interest rates.CBI official:They explain why we are continuing to see increases in employment, reductions inunemployment,without the disease we alwaysused to have when the economy overheated: wageinflation, inflation generally, boom and bust.The economy's far more flexible than it usedto be, and one of the reasons is migrantworkers.TV reporter: More than half those working in the UK's health service, for example, are migrantworkers born overseas.CB! official: They're filling gaps that either we have key skill shortages in -- and I think that'sparticularly noticeable in construction -- orthey're filling gaps where people, frankly,will not do the work because ofantisocialhours, because of relatively poorpay.TV reporter: But some opposed to increased immigrationssee snags.MW official: It is true that a large flow of cheap labor will keep wages down. That's fine for theemployer. But of course, it's the taxpayer whohas to pay for the housing, the hospitals, theschools, and so on; not the employer. So, ofcourse, cheap labor has some benefits. Butit's having a substantial effect on oureconomy, on the overcrowding in Britain.TV reporter: But not all the migrant workers like those from Poland stay.FPB official: Largely because they have already made some money, and they can go to Poland and eitherset up a little business of their own oranyway help the family who have beenstruggling while they've been living over here. TV reporter: Migrants help to oil the economic machinery.In Britain, construction, agriculture, thehealth servicewould be in trouble without them.But if business leaders can see the benefitsof managed migration, many ordinary folk,fearful of seeing wage levels driven down, areyet to be convinced.Your reporter, London.Unit 3, Lesson ATrack 5-3-1A.

Good luck toboth of you!Track 5-3-6C, Listen again to the whole TV program. Then read the statements in A and B, and decide if each is a fact or a theory. Write the correct letter (For T} next to eachstatement above.Speaker 1: For years, scientists have tried to account for the mysterious disappearances of planesand ships at sea. Now, they may have theanswer due to new satellite data. Stay tunedto Mystery World.Speaker 2: From Washington, DC, here's Clark Jacobs with Mystery World.Speaker 1: Consider these three facts: First...Over the last twenty years, hundreds of cargo ships --many as big as a soccer field -- havemysteriously disappeared or been destroyed inthe North Atlantic and near the tip of SouthAmerica and South Africa.Second...The Bermuda Triangle, roughly the areabetween southern Horida, Puerto Rico, andBermuda, has been the site of many ship andaircraft disappearances over the last hundredyears, and Third...in the Pacific Ocean, justoff the coast of central Japan, there is aregion known as "The Devil's Sea" -- given itsname in 1955 after ten ships vanished, and thearea has been named a danger zone by theJapanese government.For years, scientists have struggled to explainthese events. Many speculated that bad weatheror machine problems were responsible, and onMystery World, we considered the possibility ofvisitors from space as the cause.But now there is evidence that may shed newlight on the disappearances. Satellites set upby the European Space Agency have recentlyidentified enormous waves far out in the oceans.These "monsterare often nearly thirty metershigh, or about the size ora twelve-storybuilding. They often rise unexpectedly, likegiant walls of water from the sea, crashing downwith great force, and then, they disappear.Speaker 2: Though waves this size have been a part of folklore for centuries, people believed thatthey were extremely rare, occurring only onceevery ten thousand years. The satellite data,though, proves that they are more common thanonce thought. Scientists now also suspect thatthese waves may have been responsible for manyof the unexplained disappearances of low-flying aircraft and ships over the years. So,how and why do waves like these form? Inanalyzing the recent satellite imagescollected by the European Space Agency,scientists have noted that monster wavesappear to form most often in places wherewaves of different strengths come togetherfrom different directions. At the southern tipof Africa,for example, where the Atlantic andindian Oceans meet, it is quite common forwaves to crash into eachother. Combined withthe strong ocean currents in the region, wavesmay then grow to enormous height. This theorymay explain the occurrence of monster waves insimilar locations around the globe such as atthe tip of South America.To understand why monster waves might form in places like the North Sea, where there are no fast- movingocean currents, scientists have turned tostudying the weather and its effect on the。

4. What does Assistant Professor Christo Wilson think about many E-commerce sites?
A) They will give deals or change the prices for people using specific devices or browsers.
B) They will change the order of search results to highlight more expensive items.
C) Both A) and B). D) Neither A) nor B).
For years now, merchants have tracked individual online shopping habits to personalize their websites and attract customers. That also helps them make assumptions about income and spending power.
Assistant Professor Christo Wilson explains, “Many Ecommerce sites will give deals or change the prices for people using specific devices or particular kinds of browsers, or will change the order of search results to highlight more expensive items.”
Analysts say U.S. online shopping has hit records in November and December. 57 percent of Americans have made at least one online purchase.

Unit5Inside viewConversation1Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis.Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert!Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）?Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting compliments?Janet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.Andy:Don’t you believe it!Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.Andy: Not only that, but I think you’d make a really TV presenter.Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here.Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信）you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.Andy: Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cook great food!Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managers?Andy: OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle management jobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.Janet:What’s the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的）barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.Conversation 2Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.Janet: It not fair.Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.Janet: That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.Andy:And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women.Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.Andy: You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially?Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And there are plenty of women’s football teams!Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!Janet: I give up. What else has changed?Andy: I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home.Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.Andy: Anyway, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course. Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!Andy: And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.Outside ViewIn South Korea, women are participating more in the economic and political sectors than they were a decade ago. But career aspirations for female students in South Korea still tend to be based on the traditional division of gender roles. They are accustomed to thinking of such jobs as teaching and nursing, what their male counterparts aim to become scientists and judges. Many of these young women are aware that if they want to be independent they need to train so they can have their own source of income. In the previous generation, women did not have the right to speak, because they did not have their own financial support. Therefore, our generation of women must work to be financially independent. The growth in the number of women who work has caused the typical South Korean household to change. For example, there are more women living alone. This is because they can make their own money rather than depend on a man to support them. There has also been a rapid rise in the number of families in which both parents work. Married women increasingly want to participate in society but they need to balance family life and work. After marriage, we all struggle with how to take care of our children and work. The introduction of day care centers at some work places, such as the Chohung bank, has helped to make it possible for mothers to work. Whilst these women are at work, their children are in the day care center. There they are usually very well looked after, receiving a balanced diet, playing lots of games and doing plenty of exercise. Day care centers are increasingly popular all across the world because they enable parents to work. Women employees at Chohung Bank find it a big help, although the system is far from perfect. So far, my children have been well taken care of by our day care center. However, it will be difficult when my children go to elementary school because I often have to work late. Who will take care of them? Our family recently decided to livetogether with our grandparents who might be able to take care of my children. Mothers also face other problems when they go to work. Women have traditionally been responsible for raising their children and often feel a strong sense of guilt when they put their children into day care. Some worry that it will have a negative impact on their children and that they may fail as a parent. On top of this, South Korean women often end up being less well paid than men with the same education. Korean women’s status in the labor market has not been much improved in spite of a continuing rise in their presence in the labor force and the level of their education. The majority of working women are still crowded in low wage and low status jobs many of which are found in the secondary market. So there are still lots of issues facing women going to work--- they are still having to choose between their families and their careers. What can be done to ensure that women are rewarded for their valuable contribution to the working world?Sector 部门，行业，领域Aspiration 志向，抱负Whilst 在……时，虽然Counterpart 植物相当的人，职能相当的物Guilt 负罪感，内疚，自责Presence 存在，在场，出席Listening inPresenter: Has feminism(女权主义，男女平等主义）gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements? Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as stupid or weak?Speaker 1: Definitely, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that annoys me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it w as one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole attitude now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.Speaker 2: Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of progress in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的）, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are portrayed in advertisements.Speaker 3:Has feminism gone too far in advertisements? No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real equality of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as objects in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really don’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as super-masculine, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.Speaker4：Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weak makes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they are more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole, I’d disagree; I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know-looking powerful. Then coming home to their wives who look after children.Speaker5: Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying. There’s that one where this woman is angry with her partner for his choice of car insurance. The idea is that she’s smart andhe’s dumb（笨的，愚蠢）.Speaker6:I’ve never really thought about it, I think it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t, to show the guy as a bit of an idiot and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke. I don’t really know much about feminism. I don’t think so, no.Passage 2:The differences between men and women interest everyone. What are these differences exactly? How great are they? To what extent are they due to biology and how much the result of upbringing?A lot of research has been done on the subject. Tests show, for example, that men tend to be more logical and analytical than women. Their spatial skills are better and they‘re better at problem-solving and mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, learn to speak earlier than boys and in general women have better verbal skills than men .They are more nurturing ,have more empathy and have better social skills.Research suggests that at least some of these differences are a result of our biochemistry and brain function. Brain scans show that men have bigger brains than women. Before men get too excited about this we should point out that both sexes do equally well in intelligence tests. So the fact that men have bigger brains does not mean they‘re more intelligent. But there are other important brain differences. Men have more grey matter in their brains and women have more white matter. Because of the different ways in which white matter and grey matter function, this could explain why men are better at spatial tasks and mathematics, and women are better at language skills.Now let’s take a look at the effect of hormones on the brain. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the body masculine .It‘s present in both men and women but obviously there‘s a lot more of it in men .It seems that testosterone has the effect of making men more interested in systems and less interested in people .This would explain why women have better social skills than men. All this is not to say that it‘s biological differences alone that make men and women different. Upbringing is very important too and parents treat boys and girls quite differently. For example, up to the age of two, mothers make more eye contact with daughters and talk to them more. Men are a lot more physical with their sons and play rougher and noisier games with them. Both men and women speak more loudly to boys than to girls and girls are stroked(轻抚) more than boys. We will probably never be able to decide exactly how important upbringing and biology are in creating male and female differences. But the journey of discovery is fascinating.。

Roadway2.relationship3.stuck4.total5.going nowhere6.annoying7.ad d ed up8.figureSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to watch a news report“ Spanish Plane Crash”(2’40 ”).Task 1Watch the vid eo clip and fill in the blanks with proper words or phrasesOne of Spain’s 1) d eadliest commercial plane crashes happened when a Spanish jet liner 2) took off from the capital city of Madrid. It had been fill ed nearly to its 172-passenger 3) capacity, most of them 4) Spaniards, a few5) Germans and two infants as well. Because the left engine6) caught fire during its takeoff, the aircraft just lifted up briefly before7) smashing into a ditch. Fewer than 20 passengers 8) survived the crash.Task 2Watch the vid eo clip again and then some questions will be asked about it. Choose the best answer to each question from the four choices given below.1. What did the emergency crews do in ord er to save passengers?A) They asked others to help with the stretchers.B) They scrambled to the smoky scene.C) They l ooked out to see if there were any survivors.D) They tried to figure out what had caused the disaster.2.

Which of the foll owing is true about Spanair?A) It is Spain’s second largest airlines.B) Its pilots threatened to strike this morning.C) It is the first time that it has had fatalities.D) All of the above.5. Why is there an increased risk of fire at the point of takeoff?A) Because the plane has the maximum weight at this point.B) Because the plane meets the maximum amount of resistance at this point.C) Because the plane needs to overcome the maximum gravity at this point.D) Because the plane has the maximum amount of fuel at this point.A: BCADDTask 3You’re going to hear three sente nces twice. Listen to each of them carefully and write down what you’ve heard. Then paraphrase the sentences orally in your own words.A:1. Emergency crews scrambled to the smoky scene, trying to save passengers on that plane.2. The plane reportedly had takeoff problems from the beginning because of atechnical issue.3. Twenty-year-old Spanair has had a strong safety record, not a singl e fatality until this.Session 2III．Speaking PracticeDirections: In this section, you are going to watch a video clip “ G ridlock—Hell on Wheels”（3’02”）.Task 1Watch the video clip and then some questions will be asked about it. Choose the best answer to each question from the four choices given below.1. Which of the foll owing cities is not mentioned in the vid eo clip?A) Portland. B) San Francisco. C) San Diego.

How many possibl e ways are mentioned to get Josh home fast?What are they?A: Three. Double-d eck freeway, tunnel, and the 91 Express Lanes.4. What benefits d o the 91 Express Lanes bring to drivers?A: First, they are very convenient for the drivers to use because they run right next to the regular lanes; second, since tolls are coll ected el ectronically,drivers needn’t stop at toll booths and can zoom past slow-moving traffic.Task 3 Group DiscussionDiscuss the following questions about traffic problems in groups of four. After that, one student from each group comes to the front to tell the class what they have come up with.1. Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam? How did you feel at that time?2. What possibl e consequences can a traffic jam have? What’s yoursuggestion for those who are stuck in congestion?3. As peopl e are getting richer and richer, more and more families can afford aprivate car. As a result, the number of private cars in cities has beenincreasing rapidly. What’s your opinion on this phenomenon?4. What d o you think of the public transit in your city? What improvement canbe mad e about it to relieve traffic pressure?5. Analyze the traffic problem in your city and try to find out an ultimate solutionto it.Task 4Now watch two video clips and complete the following tasks1. Work in groups and retell what you have seen. Then one stud ent fromeach group comes to the front to tell the class his und erstanding of thestories.2. Discuss with your group members about the l essons you have learnedfrom the two vid eo clips.IV．Listening TestSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear a passage. At the end of the passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer.1. A) Because hands-free cell phones need improving.B) Because drivers d on’t have enough time to use them.C) Because drivers’ attention is turned to their conversation.D) Because drivers tend to ignore traffic lights in this case.2. A) They are less likely to get involved in traffic accid ents.B) They are less likely to keep enough foll owing distance.C) They react more sl owly when using the cell phone.D) They have a habit of driving more carefully.3. A) They feel frustrated because it is hard to regain the speed.B) They tend to have a small er foll owing distance.C) They are more likely to smash into passengers.D) They make more mistakes in realizing important changes.4. A) Drivers using their cell phones kill 33,000 peopl e in the UnitedStates every year.B) Drivers talking on the cell phone are 80 percent slower to react totraffic lights.C) A chatting driver is more likely to cause traffic accid ents than aslightly drunken one.D) Young adults show little difference in driving performance whenusing the cell phone.A: CBBCSection BDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 8 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 9 to 11 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Some traffic jams happen with no apparent cause —no accid ent, no stopped vehicle, no lanes cl osed for construction. A team of mathematicians has d evel oped a mod el that 1) d escribes how and und er what conditions such jams form, which could help road 2) d esigners minimize the od ds of their formation. Key tothe new study is the realization that the mathematics of such jams is very much 3) similar to the equations that d escribe expl osion waves.The discovery 4) enabl ed the team to solve traffic jam equations that were first theorized in the 1950s. The equations mod el traffic jams as a self- sustaining wave. 5 ) Factors such as traffic speed and traffic d ensity are used to6 ) calculate the conditions und er which a jam will form and how fast it will7) spread. Once such a jam is formed, it’s almost 8)impossibl e to break up — drivers just have to wait it out. However, 9) the mod el coul d help engineer d esign roads with enough capacity to keep traffic d ensity l ow enoughto minimize the occurrence of such jams.
