Today we’re going to talk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is? It’s a food which you don’t eat.It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s chewinggum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” The iPod arrived on the market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they want to invest in it? No, they didn’t. So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”. The idea of the game is to buy streets where you can build houses and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say they’ve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people haveplayed it. The game is truly international: It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages.ViewingScriptsP = Presenter; SB = Sergey BrinP: It’s the fastest growing company in history, used by 400 million people a month. The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary moneymaking machine and finds out how it’s changed the lives of countless millions of people w ho now inhabit “the World According to Google”. And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey’s university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you’re trying to find out about, say, “Stonehenge”,here’s what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They’re from companies who have picked“Stonehenge” as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for “Stonehenge” might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks. I’m just looking.S: OK, just let me know if you need anything.W: Thanks.Conversation 2S = Shop assistant; M = ManS: Hi there. Are you looking for anything in particular?M: Yeah, do you sell those things that soldiers wear? Er, er … it’s like a jacket.S: Um, a type of jacket?M: Er, yeah, a light green jacket with lots of pockets.S: Ah, you mean a flak jacket?M: Er, yes.S: They’re just on your left.M: Ah, yes. Thank you. Can I try this on?S: Of course.M: Where’s the fitting room?S: Just over there.M: Er, thanks.Conversation 3M = Man; S = Shop assistantM: Excuse me. Do you have one of these in a larger size? It doesn’t fit.S: Is that the Large? I’ll just go and check for you. I’m sorry. This is all we’ve got in stock at the moment. There are some other T-shirts over there on the other side. There might be some Extra Large sizes there.Conversation 4W = Woman; S = Shop assistantW: Hello. I was wondering if you’ve got any of that stuff you use for cleaning swimming pools.S: Um … yeah, we usually s ell a liquid cleaner.You pour it into the pool. There’s one here.W: Can I have a look?S: Yep.W: How much is it?S: Er, this one’s ￡28.99 for a liter bottle.Conversation 5S = Shop assistant; M = Man; W = WomanS: Hi. Are you paying by cash or credit card?M: Credit card.S: Can you enter your PIN, please? Thanks. Here’s your card.M: Thanks.S: Thank you. Who’s next, please?W: Do you take Mastercard?S: Yes, that’s fine. Um, can you just sign here, please?Group discussionScriptsA: Personally, I think these footballers earn too much money. They’re 20 years old and they’re already millionaires. I think it’s crazy.B: I agree. They earn enough money in one week to buy a house, a car – anything. Now if you look at, say, fire fighters, who risk their lives …A: Fire fighters don’t earn enough.B: They don’t earn enough.A: What about doctors? Certainly in Britain they work very hard.B: They work too hard. One of my friends is a doctor and he sometimes does 18 hour shifts.A: Ha, that’s crazy.B: Eighteen hours without a break. Again, they’re saving people’s lives.A: Teachers, too. I think they should get much bigger salaries. They also work really long hours.B: Yeah, although they do get good holidays.A: Yeah. That’s true.B: Actually, I think they get too many holidays. There’s Christmas and half term and Easter and the summer. What is it in the summer – about six weeks?A: Yeah, but I think teachers need it ’cause of all the stress.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: According to this policy, you can get more welfare money if you have children. W: Sure, I could. But having children would also cost a lot of money, so I doubt the welfare benefits will encourage people to give birth. Besides, I’m happier by myself.Q: What does the woman think about the policy?Conversation 2W: In a marriage, do you think one person should handle money, or both?M: I think it’s easier for one person to deal with money. Take my parents for example. My dad had some pocket money and the rest of his salary went into the bank for my mom to pay the bills with. It never failed once.Q: According to the man, how should a family deal with money?Conversation 3M: My sister is having trouble with her boyfriend. He wants her to sign an agreement on money problems before they get married.W: I can see why. Well, I wouldn’t have married you if you had asked me to sign such an agreement. My parents would have gone mad.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?Conversation 4W: How can you afford such nice things on your salary? Something must be going on here.M: OK, I’ll be honest with you, but you can’t tell anyone else. I’ve been burning the midnight oil for another company. They pay me very good money.Q: What can we learn about the man?Conversation 5M: I’d like to buy a new car, but this model is too expensive.W: How about loaning some money from your uncle? It’s better than borrowingmoney from the bank because you will have to pay higher interest to the bank.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?Long conversationScriptsM: That’s a beautiful new coat, Jessica. Is that real leather?W: Yes, it is! I found it in a sale last week for only $180. I just couldn’t resist!M: $180?! How can you afford that kind of purchase as a college student? Back when I was beginning college, it was a struggle to afford tuition, books and food!W: No problem! My student loan just came in for this term, so I have plenty of money to spend! I took all of my friends out for dinner la st night, and tonight we’re going out to a concert! We got great tickets for $75! You should come with us, Mike! M: Thanks for the invitation … Um. I’ll have to pass. I need to prepare for my class. Jessica … $75! You’d better learn to be more careful with your money. What will you do if you run out of money before the end of the term?W: I’ll just call my mom! She loves to send me money. She saved up for college for me from when I was young. She said I should really enjoy my college life! So, I am! M: OK, well, I’ve got to go. Jessica, I may be an old family friend of over 15 years, but here at the university, I’m the graduate teaching assistant in your freshman biology class. So, don’t forget to study for the exam this Thursday!W: OK! Bye!Passage 1ScriptsNo one wants to work on a major holiday like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But many small businesses choose to remain open during holidays to compete with the big stores and not miss out on money-making opportunities. While most workers would prefer to celebrate such events with family or friends, business owners can make small but meaningful, gestures to show their appreciation to employees.Daniel Rubin, a human resource expert, said, “While many smaller companies can’t afford to give their holiday workers good extra benefits, there are other ways to keep employees’ spirits up. For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a home-cooked meal or a handwritten thank-you ca rd.”Rubin also said smaller companies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The company manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the company.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact. And he can give the workers some choice in when they come to work, or let them have a day off on another date.Having a small celebration at the work place, or even playing a few holiday games during the workday can help employees to get into the holiday spirit. “Let them do something fun that relates to the holiday and this will keep their spirits high,”Rubin said. “Remember, what counts most is taking the time, not necessarily spending money, and that is something every single company should do.”Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to Rubin, what can small companies do to thank holiday workers?Q3: What can small business owners do to help holiday workers get into the holiday spirit?Q4: Who are supposed to benefit most from this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersAccording to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1) evidence that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2) enhance happiness.The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3) interviewed 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was 4) rated based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions the students held. The researchers also 5) took into account the students’ family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students received from their peers 6) forecast their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.Similar results 7) emerged in another study with a larger group of students.In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools. They found the MBA students’ social well-being 8) was related to changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students’ well-being after graduation than the money they made.One of the reasons why money doesn’t buy happiness is that people quickly 9) adapt themselves to the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10) original level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.。

After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces leftbetween the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40 percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most between 9a.m. and early afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going strong until 1 or 2 ., so why break the momentum During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to photocopy a memo, or talkingto other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy level from dropping way down.When full alertness returns—around 4 .—you might do a few small projects that give you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize for the next day.The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London. Unlike many scientists, he believes that the world will be a better place in the future. His book, What a Wonderful Life, will be on sale, and Globe sent Reporter Catherine Brown to talk to him. Here is part of their conversation.) Catherine Brown: What changes will we see in the next few yearsAlexander Dubois:Today, work is the most important part of manypeople's lives. In the future, machines will do muchof our work.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.S tudent B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re tot ally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. Tha t’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result fromthe social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoid Ex2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such ascalculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game. So a game, seen later on, might only last hours.Listening 3Ex1: A B A B DEx2: 1)pessimistic 2)doubled 3)coal 4)chickens 5) artificial6)well-designed7)fresher 8)leading 9)unnecessaryScript:What will life be like 100 years from now Some experts are optimistic; others,far more pessimistic. They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized.Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1. What can definitely be said of life in the next century2. What does "many jobs will be 'automated'" mean according to the passage3.

They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hourseach way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。

The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary money-making machine and finds out how it's changed the lives of countless millions of people who now inhabit "the World According to Google".And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey's university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.It's a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himself created the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you're trying to find out about, say, "Stonehenge", here's what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They're from companies who have picked "Stonehenge" as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for"Stonehenge" might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communication8-6 Role-playingNote them downNote them down-11) C2) B3) A4) B5) CNote them down-21) B2) A3) B4) B5) A6) B7) A8) A9) B10) A8-7 PresentingGet ideas1) Footballers,footballers2) Fire fighters,fire fighters,Firefighters,firefighters3) Doctors,doctors4) Teachers,teachersOrganize ideas1) B2) C3) A4) E5) D6) F1) doctor2) People need special and extensive training to become doctors.3) They relieve our pain, cure our diseases, and save our lives.4) Their work is indispensable to everyone and they cannot be replaced by anyone else.5) footballer6) Footballers' work is to entertain some people.7) It doesn't add any real value to society.8) They make money simply by playing – it's not real work and it's so easy.More practice in listening8-8 More practice in listeningConversationsShort conversations1.

After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls.

We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London.

Here is part of their conversation.) Catherine Brown: What changes will we see in the next few yearsAlexander Dubois:Today, work is the most important part of manypeople's lives.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.Student B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re totally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. That’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result from the social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoidEx2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such as calculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game. So a game, seen later on, might only last hours.Listening 3Ex1: A B A B DEx2: 1)pessimistic 2)doubled 3)coal 4)chickens 5) artificial6)well-designed7)fresher 8)leading 9)unnecessaryScript:What will life be like 100 years from now Some experts are optimistic; others,far more pessimistic. They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized. Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1. What can definitely be said of life in the next century2. What does "many jobs will be 'automated'" mean according to the passage3. What will the influence of automation be upon people in terms of employment4. Is there any possibility hat some jobs will disappear in decades from now Why or why not5. What would the future job market look likeListening 4Ex1: F T T F FEx2: 1) Because they could have a large house and yard there2) The cities have grown larger3) During the last 10 or 15 years of the 20th century4) Because they want to change them into apartment buildings5) It saves people time for traveling back and forthScript:Starting in the early 1900s, many Americans living and working in large cities moved to the suburbs. They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hours each way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。

Unit 8 Money mattersListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 1F: I spend a lot of time shopping. I like buying shoes and books. I buy things online, but I also like visiting street markets. How about you? How do you feel about shopping?W1: Er, I don’t really like it very much on the whole. Er, I find it can get very stressful – big crowds, especially in London.M1: It depends on my mood, but generally yes, I enjoy it.W2: I might think it’s one of the bes t things to do, ever!W3: I like shopping – when I can afford it. But I can’t afford it most of the time.W4: I love shopping. It’s, it’s a good way to spend a day. You can have fun, go out with your friends or family and come home with some new things.W5: Love it. I enjoy it very much. It’s great … gives you a buzz.M2: I have mixed feelings about shopping. Sometimes I’m in the mood and other times, I can’t bear the idea of shopping.W6: I love shopping, because it’s like you find new things and you spend time with your friends or family. Yeah, it’s good fun.M3: I hate shopping. I prefer shopping on the Internet, where I can look at everythingand have everything delivered to my house.W7: I love it and I hate it.M4: What do I feel about shopping? I don’t like shopping.Part 2F: Where do you usually shop?W1: For clothes? I guess I like the high street chains. And you find them in lots of places around London.M1: Usually clothes shops, er, independent clothes shops.W2: I’ve been to Harrods. Harrods is really expensive, obviously, but it’s just wonderful to go in there and see what they’ve got on offer and things like that.M3: I shop on eBay. I like eBay because you can find, er, older things or very rare items.W3: Second-hand stores. I like vintage stores and markets, and those sorts of places. W4: If I have the money, I go for the more expensive designers. But usually just midrange.W5: I usually shop in large stores, er … like Selfridges.M2: I try to avoid the big department stores, but I find the small independent shops. W6: I usually shop in high street stores or vintage shops, because in vintage shops, you can find rare things that nobody else has.W7: Because I live in Cape Town, I do most of my shopping in Cape Town, South Africa. But I come to Europe quite often during summer time, so I do my shopping in England, in London or in Italy.Part 3F: Have you bought anything recently?W1: I have actually. Er, I bought a dress and I bought a telephone.M1: Yes, I bought a book – to read on the train.W2: I bought myself a new coat.M5: A pair of trainers that I’m wearing at the moment I bought yesterday. So, that’s the most recent thing I’ve bought.W6: I bought lots of things in the sale, like tops and skirts. And I bought a pair of shoes as well that I had my eye on for a while.M2: Yes, I’ve bought some very cheap trousers in the sales, um, which I’m very pleased about. I bought two pairs because when you find one pair that you like, you should always buy another.W3: I haven’t, no, but my friend Nat alie has.W4: I bought my sunglasses. They’re Chanel, so they’re quite expensive. And that’s today. The other week though, I bought a Mimco handbag which was also fairly expensive but I think it’s very nice.ListeningScriptsWelcome to Money Matters, presented by Jimmy Stevens. Today we’re going to talk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is? It’s a food which you don’t eat.It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s chewinggum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” The iPod arrived on the market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they want to invest in it? No, they didn’t. So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”. The idea of the game is to buy streets where you can build houses and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say they’ve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people haveplayed it. The game is truly international: It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages.ViewingScriptsP = Presenter; SB = Sergey BrinP: It’s the fastest growing company in history, used by 400 million people a month. The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary moneymaking machine and finds out how it’s changed the lives of countless millions of people who now inhabit “the World According to Google”. And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey’s university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you’re trying to find out about, say, “Stonehenge”,here’s what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They’re from companies who have picked “Stonehenge” as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for “Stonehenge” might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks.

But many small businesses choose to remain open during holidays to compete with the big stores and not miss out on money-making opportunities. While most workers would prefer to celebrate such events with family or friends, business owners can make small but meaningful, gestures to show their appreciation to employees.Daniel Rubin, a human resource expert, said, “While many smaller companies can’t afford to give their holiday workers good extra benefits, there are other ways to keep employees’ spirits up. For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a home-cooked meal or a handwritten thank-you card.”Rubin also said smaller companies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The company manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the company.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact. And he can give the workers some choice in when they come to work, or let them have a day off on another date.Having a small celebration at the work place, or even playing a few holiday games during the workday can help employees to get into the holiday spirit. “Let them do something fun that relates to the holiday and this will keep their spiritshigh,” Rubin said. “Remember, what counts most is taking the time, not necessarily spending money, and that is something every sing le company should do.”Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to Rubin, what can small companies do to thank holiday workers?Q3: What can small business owners do to help holiday workers get into the holiday spirit?Q4: Who are supposed to benefit most from this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersAccording to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1) evidence that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2) enhance happiness.The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3) interviewed 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was 4) rated based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions the students held. The researchers also 5) took into account the students’ family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students received from their peers 6) forecast their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.Similar results 7) emerged in another study with a larger group of students.In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools. They found the MBA students’ social well-being 8) was related to changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students’ well-being after graduation than the money they made.One of the reasons why money doesn’t buy happiness is that people quickly 9) adapt themselves to the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10) original level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.。

Women’s Rights1Task One: Self-Help Group for WomenWomen constitute approximately 48 percent of the Indian population. But their socioeconomic status lags behind that of men. The majority of women are engaged in sectors that are marked bylow productivity, minimum incomes and low skill levels. In today’s Working Asia Series, Raman Hitkari from Doordashan News in India reports on ordinary Indian women, who are banding together to create a women’s self-help group that will benefit over 1,000 Indian women.This is the real situation of Indian women workers despite the fact that they work twice as many hours as men do. Women in India like any other developing nation look after their household chores apart from working for their livelihood.But with the advent of governmental and non-governmental agencies, things are gradually changing. Women are now becoming conscious of their rights. They are forming self help groups to improve their socio-economic positions.One such commendable effort is taken by a village woman named Phulbasin Bai in Sukul Daihan village in Rajnand Gaon district of Chattisgarh state. Married at 14 and a mother at 15, Phulbasin’s success has not come easy.(Phulbasin)“We were in a joint family. Our economic condition was very bad. After ninth year of my marriage, I thought to do something. I decided to organize women. The first step I took was to sensitize them against the social evil of child marriage. Because I was a victim of that.”It was 2001 the phulbasin decided to organize women. Together they launched a smallbank through micro savings to extend small loans among group members. They also started reinvesting remaining money in profitable economic ventures and decided to keep middle men away from their economic activities.(Phulbasin)“Initially women are hesitant to savings. We decided to save around 20 rupees a month fromour daily expenses. Gradually we could increase our savings to hundred thousand rupees. I am still pursuing women to come forward by joining self-help groups. I also train them to ride bicycle.”The success journey of Phulbasin started on a bicycle has now enlisted support of more than 1000 women, who are now proud members of her bicycle club. Earlier the men in village would frown upon it, but now they have realized and accepted the change. Women riding bicycle is a beginning of social change.(A group member)“Earlier we had a lot of problems from our husbands and middlemen. Now after we joined phulbasin, men in our village are scared of us.”In her village Phulbasin now runs a campaign against illiteracy. She is also running a lunch meal scheme, and handles several health programs. Outside her state, no one would recognize her,but in her village, Phulbasin is the one women turn to.2The story of a very strong-minded and determined woman. Well, in tomorrow’s Working Asia Series, women in Pakistan are also struggling to achieve an equal status with man and a better life. So join us tomorrow for this next report in our series. Task Two: Women in South KoreaWomen in South Korea who work on a freelance basis or as non-permanent employees, are seeking to protect their legitimate rights by establishing a labor union. In today’s Working Asia series, Kim Young Sang, from EBS Korea, explains this long and difficult struggle by South Korean women.At the Intensive Care Unit of a major university hospital, special care provider Ilsun Kim skillfully tends to the needs of a patient. For 24 hours straight, Ilsun is in charge of everything, from nursing duties to everyday chores.Two years ago, that hospital suddenly closed the two special care provider introduction agencies that was operating. Just like that, eighty special care providers were out of work. The hospital claimed it didn’t want to handle complaints abo ut some of the workers.These special care providers were categorized as free-lance employees to whom work was outsourced. Kumja Chong, who has worked for ten years as a special care provider, looked into the matter, and in 2001 founded a labor union.When the hospital decided to close the free introduction agency, the special service providers were working hard, even though they were not officially considered employees. They chose to fight an uphill battle instead of compromising. After that long and difficult fight, they gained more than just their jobs back.The hospital’s labor union has been a strong supporter of the special care providers’ nascent union. It has negotiated with management on behalf of so-called “non -permanent employees,” while discussing policy issues and how to deal with governmental authorities.Even if not recognized by law, if someone labors, then he or she is a laborer deserving dignity. Task Three: Muslim Women in Kuwait(Anchor)The rights of women are the focus of intense debate in one of the most prosperous societies in the world. As Brent Sadler reports, caught between religious beliefs, and modern day social norms, some Kuwaiti women believe time is on their side.(Reporter)In Kuwait a dramatic contest of ideas. Between the past and the present, over the rights of women, inside a Muslim society with some startling contradictions. Between what women want and how they behave. It’s a case of religious conservatism versus a more liberal interpretation of Islam, as you can clearly see inside this popular shopping mall where women browse through western-style boutiques and purchase designer labels.(An unidentified woman)To me, the way I dress here is the same the way I dress in Europe, the States, wherever I am. (Reporter)But while women in Kuwait can drive, work and hold senior government positions, society remains strictly conservative. Wedding parties separate men from women and public schools are segregated after kindergarten. Westerns are often criticized here for interpreting the rules in a bad3light.(An unidentified woman)But its not. Actually it’s like more open than most countries around us.(Reporter)More open that is, than say Saudi Arabia. But still behind the times, says this Kuwaiti lawyer, because women can’t vote or run for office in Kuwait. She’s spent nearly 30 years campaigning for those rights. Aroor Al-Rifaee may dress differently from the lawyer, but sheis no less committed to political reform for women. But all in good time she says, arguing that pressure from the West to move faster is a mistake.(An unidentified woman)This kind of pressure is too much. We don’t want to get our political rights because America wants it. We think that we need it because it’s time for it.(Reporter)An evolution, not revolution, say women here, that could one day give them the same political rights as men.Alicia Silverstone(Reporter)Although it’s a Broadway first for 25-year-old Silverstone, her love of theatre goes way back. She was born and raised in San Francisco, but spent summers in London with her British parents, who took her to West End shows.(Silverstone)I was just leaning over all the time, as I was a kid, so I was just leaning over, watching the show all the time. And at the end, I went backstage to ask. I was always got my program signed. (Reporter)Silverstone started a modeling career by the time she was six. Dancing and acting classes soon followed.(Silverstone)And it was amazing. Now I was like, 12 years old. Studying with these 18, I am the youngest one there, they are all like 15, 16, 18. I was in my element.(Reporter)Some commercials led to her part on the popular “Wonder Years” television show, but Silverstone wanted more. The young actress dropped out of high school, got her GED, and began focusing on a film career.(Silverstone)I was just like at that point, my life sucks, and I hate everything, and I am a teenager, and I don’t have any time for any lesson, this is stupid. And that’s when “The Crush” came along. It was a perfect attitude for the part.(Reporter)She landed the part of the teenager stocker in the 1993 cult film “The Crush”.(Movie lines)4Guy “What are you doing?” “Making lemonade, want some?”(Reporter) At 15, Silverstone got legal permission to leave her parents and moved out on her own. This enabled her to work longer hours on her first big movie role. But it wasn’t untilSilverstone started in a string of popular Aerosmith videos, that she catapulted to teen idol status. (Silverstone)I was the Aerosmith chick, and I was like, I’m an actress.(Reporter)Movie executives were attracted to Silverstone’s California girl looks.(Reporter)In 1995, at 18, she was cast for the lead in a contemporary remake of Jane Austin’s Emma. (Movie lines)Silverstone “Oh, get off of me.”(Reporter)The movie, renamed “Clueless” scored huge with audiences. Silverstone’s betrayal of Cher, a Beverly hills valley girl, made her a star.(Movie lines)Silverstone “You’re about to become compost.”(Reporter)In 1997, Silverstone traded her designer clothes for a batgirl suit.(Movie lines)Batman “And you are?” “Batgirl.”(Reporter)She starred in “Batman and Robin”, the 3rd sequel to the original “Batman” movie. At 18, she became one of Hollywood’s highest -paid actresses. 练习答案Unit 8 Women ’s RightTask One: Self-help Group for WomenExercises:1.

Today we’re going totalk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is?It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s ch It’s a foodwhich you don’t eat.gum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980scountries, including the UK, now have “mobiles” started to become popular. Manymore mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film The iPod arrived on the 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!”market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they wantwho worked in a printing company, to invest in it? No, they didn’t.

Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like theIndustrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wantedto be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work?

And that was how a searching for “Stonehenge”humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks.

She put her coat on the rack -- on top of the rack this time.。
