Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I’m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you’ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop.Jenny: What’s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I’ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He’s good if you’re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that’s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison:You’re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don’t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Than ks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task2: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-onewho continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the good thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Key: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DTask 3: Money for CollegeRobert was a university student. He liked to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do but to try to call his mother for help."Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I... uh... got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I'm going to need $100.""I understand," said his mother. "I'11 send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?""Oh, yeah. Thanks," Robert said.Robert's mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her."Well, how much did you give the boy this time?" asked Dad."I sent two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1,000," answered Mom."You're out of your mind," yelled Dad. "That's $1,100. He'll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He's never going to learn the value of money that way.""Don't worry, honey," Mom said, "I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Chapter 13!"Key:F 1. The couple went to their doctor to have a complete physical checkup.T 2. At first the wife asked the husband to get her only ice cream.F 3. The husband refused to write a note, for he believed he could remember the toast.F 4. Finally, the husband brought the wife both ice cream and strawberries.F 5. The wife blamed the husband for forgetting to bring her ice cream and strawberries.。

Active Listening & Speaking IScript:Hi, my name is Rebecca Darnell, workforce service specialist with Contra Costa County, and today we’re going to discuss how to choose a career based on your personality. The first step is to really understand yourself and your own personality. Sometimes that’s easier said than done. There are a lot of different tools that you can utilize in order to really get a clear view or picture of your personality and your personality traits. A lot of times, our own self-assessments are not always as accurate as we think they are, so it’s important to get a clear picture of what types of things best describe you and your personality traits.They may be as simple as being an extrovert, which means that you are very social and enjoy being around people, versus an introvert, which would mean that you prefer to be more to yourself and in solitary situations. These types of personality traits are extremely important in determining what kind of career would be best for you because to be successful, you need to really be comfortable with yourself in the type of work that you’re doing.So just for an example, if you were to take a personality test and it determined that you are an extrovert, then it would be a good idea for you to look at jobs or different employment opportunities in social settings, potentially retail, or if you are to be a clerk or in a different job environment that allows you to interact with people and work in a team environment, and actually have a partnership with people where your work combined with theirs to make an end product. If that’s not something that you feel comfortable with, then you would want to explore other types of work. Possibly if you’re more of an introvert, you would maybe look at something along the lines of truck driving where you spend most of your time alone and you rely solely on your own skills and your own time frames and you really set your own schedule.So it’s important to take a look at how you fit into the job that you’re interested in because the happier you are and the better it fits with you, the more success you will have in your job search and in finding a job that’s going to make you happy.Notes1. end product: 最终产品，制成品2. time frame: 时间范围，期限3. fit into: 适应4. Contra Costa County: 康特拉科斯塔县，位于旧金山湾区的东部Active Listening & Speaking IIScript:Personality Affects Life after PresidencyWhen former president George W. Bush left the White House in 2009, he largely left the spotlight.However last year he worked alongside volunteers in Zambia to renovate a clinic that specializes in treating cervical cancer. Like other former presidents, Mr. Bush uses his fame to draw attention to issues, but says he prefers not to call attention to his own work.“I hope you don’t see much of it, because I don’t want to be in the news. In other words, I believe that quiet service is the best kind of service.”But former presidents have the ability to harness the public’s attention and goodwill. President Obama tapped Bush and former president Bill Clinton to lead a fundraising effort in 2010 after the earthquake in Haiti.“On behalf of the American people, I want to thank both of you for returning to service and leading this urgent mission.”Mr. Clinton has remained in the public eye since his presidency, pressing North Korea to release American prisoners, campaigning for his wife, Hillary Clinton, who ran for president in 2008, and founding the Clinton Global Initiative, or CGI. “CGI was designed to tackle big global challenges in bite-sized pieces.”But the elder Mr. Bush has little interest in pursuing that kind of high-profile work, preferring personal causes, says the director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, Mark Updegrove. “It’s a relatively passive post-presidency. Of course, the most significant chapter in his post-presidency was when he became the father of the president of the United States.”“I think in many ways that the post-presidential activities of our former presidents are more reflective of their character than their years in office, which tend to be more insular in nature,” says Updegrove, the author of various books on the presidency.Former president Jimmy Carter’s work often focuses on health, human rights, and democracy promotion, including election monitoring. He says his life’s interests did not change when he left office back in 1981.“I would say, and I think my wife would agree, that the time we spent since the White House has been the most exciting and productive and adventurous and unpredictable and gratifying time.”Notes1. campaign for: 为……助选2. bite-sized: 很小的3. high-profile: 高调的4. in office: 执政，在位5. The Clinton Global Initiative(CGI), established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, convenes global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. CGI Annual Meetings have brought together more than 180 heads of state, 20 Nobel Prize laureates, and hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations and NGOs, major philanthropists, and members of the media. To date, members of the CGI community have made more than 3,100 Commitments to Action, which have improved the lives of over 430 million people in more than 180 countries.6. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum: Also known as the LBJ Presidential Library, one of 13 Presidential Libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. The Library houses 45 million pages of historical documents, including the papers of Lyndon Baines Johnson and those of his close associates and others. The Library was dedicated on May 22, 1971, with Johnson and then-President Richard Nixon in attendance. The current director is Presidential historian Mark K. Updegrove.Supplementary Listening & SpeakingScript:Personality & StressYou have been circling the parking lot for what seems like an hour trying to find a parking spot. You left home extra early so that you wouldn’t be late for your class again. Aha! You finally see someone pulling out of a parking spot. You put your blinker on and wait patiently, silently praising the parking gods for your good luck. Just as the person backs out of the parking spot, from out of nowhere, another car squishes around the corner coming from the opposite direction and quickly pulls into the spot that was clearly yours.Your mouth drops open.You can’t believe what just happened. How do you react? Does your personality play a role in terms of how you respond to the stressor? To a large extent, our personality predicts how we perceive and deal with stressors and those accompanying stressful emotions.And that brings me to the question —is it possible to change our personality? In order to answer that question, let’s examine just exactly what I’m talking about when I refer to personality.It is thought that personality is made up of four components: values, which are abstract qualities that give meaning to our lives; attitudes, perceptions derived from values; beliefs, thoughts, ideas and perceptions based on our attitudes and values; and behaviors, or actions based on our values, attitudes and beliefs.So going back to the question of “is it possible to change our personality?”, let me first ask is it possible to change any of these components? Is it possible to change our values, attitudes, beliefs or behaviors? Actually it is possible to change all four of these components. But there is one component that’s the most easily influenced. This is not to imply that it is easy to change but it is the least difficult component to change compared to the other three. And that is behaviors! We definitely can change our behaviors. In fact, behaviors are considered to be the least difficult to change compared to the other three components. It is a bit more difficult to change deeply-rooted values, attitudes and beliefs. Of the four compon ents the one that’s the most difficult to change is your values, many of which are instilled at a very young age.So going back to the question of whether or not we can change our personality, if we can change our behavior which is a component of personality, then technically, yes, we can change our personality to an extent. In a sense, learning to change your personality or one component of your personality is absolutely critical to effectively managing stress.Notes1. pull out of: 驶出2. pull into: 驶入3. put your blinker on: 打开你的闪光警戒灯4. back out of the parking spot: 把车倒开出车位。

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home!Audio Track 2-1-7/Audio Track 2-1-8Making memoriesA popular new hobby is scrapbooking —making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: ”School days, “ “Family travel,” “Memoriesof my grandparents,” “Baby’s first year. “2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters — anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Audio Track 2-1-9/Audio Track 2-1-10/Audio Track 2-1-11Yearbooks in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year —a “book of memories”for the students.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or secondyear students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students.The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”(a funny student), the “most likely to succeed”(a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “best dressed”(a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,”or “I’ll never forget you.”They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Audio Track 2-1-12Conversation 1Sandy: Hello?Joe: Hi, Sandy.

Unit 1 FamilyPart II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLesson A A Famous FamilySCRIPTTrack 1-1Jacques Cousteau was born in 1910 in France. Cousteau loved the water, and for almost sixty years, he studied the world’s oceans. In 1943, he and a partner invented scuba diving equipment, and later he invented special cameras to film life underwater.Cousteau taught people about the oceans. In 1968, he started a TV show called The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. On the show, he traveled with his son, Philippe, around the world. They taught people about sea animals and protecting Earth’s waters. In 1973, he started the Cousteau Society, an international organization which works to protect Earth’s waters. Before h e died in 1997, Cousteau won many awards for his films and his work as an environmentalist.Jacques’family have continued his work. Jacques’ son, Philippe had two children, Alexandra and Philippe Junior. They are both famous ocean conservationists.Like her grandfather, Alexandra Cousteau, who was born in 1976, also cares about the world’s seas. In 2000, she started a company with her brother called Earth Echo International. It teaches children and teenagers about keeping Earth’s oceans clean. Later, in 2008, Alexandra started another company called Blue Legacy. It works to protect Earth’s oceans. As the head of this company, she travels around the world, working on important water problems.

Part tweListening1Love story*Where do I begin to tell the story of how great love can be,The sweet love story that is older than the sea,The simple truth about the love she brings to me?Where do I start?With her first hello, she gave a meaning to this empty world of mine.There'll never be another love another time.She came into my life and made the living fine.She fills my heart, she fills my heart,With very special things, with angel's songs, with wild imaginings.She fills my soul with so much love,That anywhere I go, I'm never lonelyWith her along, who could be lonely?I reach for her hand, it's always there.(Repeat the part marked with “*”.)How long does it last?Can love be measured by the hours in a day?I have no answers now but this much I can say.I know I need her till the stars all burn away,And she'll be there.Listening2Traditionally the heart is the part of the body where emotions come from. If you are a warm-hearted person, for example, you are kind and thoughtful towards others. If you have a heart of gold, you are a very generous person. But if you are heartless, you are cruel and unfeeling.Of all the emotions, it is love that is the most associated with the heart. In love songs, all over the world, love almost always goes together with the heart. As the song from Titanic says, “You are here in my heart and my heart will go on and on. Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime, and never let go till we're gone.”Perhaps the role of the heart in love comes from what happens to it when you feel really attracted to someone. The strong feelings of attraction make your breathing speed up and your heart beat faster.Listening3In past generations, the challenge of dating was different. Men and women wanted a partner who could fulfill their basic needs for security and survival. Women looked for a strong man who would be a good bread-winner; men searched for a nurturing woman to make a home. This practice that worked for thousands of years has suddenly changed.The new challenge of dating is to find a partner who not only will be supportive of our physical needs for survival and security but will support our emotional and spiritual needs. Today we want more from our relationships. Millions of men and women around the world are searching for a soul mate to experience lasting love, happiness, and romance.It is no longer enough to just find someone who is willing to marry us, and we want partners who will love us more as they get to know us: We want to live happily ever after. To find and recognize partners who can fulfill our new needs for increased closeness, good communication, and a great love life, we need to update our dating skills.Part threePractice oneA Mother's LoveYou can see it in her eyes—in her gaze and in her sighs. It is a mother's love.You can feel it in her touch—in her tender hugs and such. It is a mother's love. You can hear it in her words—in her praises and bywords.It is a mother's love.She cares. She understands.She lends an ear and holds our hands. She gives us a mother's love.Practive twoTalk to kidsMy son's primary school celebrates Valentine's Day in a wonderful way. Each day throughout the month of February, the school honors each student in informal ceremonies. At the ceremony, classmates, teachers and parents get together to deliver compliments to that particular child. They believe that a child's emotional and social skills should be developed alongside their intellectual skills. Learning to acknowledge qualities and strengths in others—and receiving that acknowledgment gracefully—is a very important learning lesson.I know I compliment my son frequently, and certainly try to make sure he knows he is loved. But I realize that I have never actually pointed out, one by one, specific qualities that make him unique and so special to me. And how infrequently we really point out what is special in others. Sure, we say “I love you” or “thanks” regularly, but when do we take the opportunity to really and truly examine what makes a person special? What is unique and different about them?This year, the time was scheduled for my son to receive more than 40 compliments from his peers, teachers, parents, and himself. Each child had their day at the center of the circle, their friends coming up one by one to give a gift of powerful words. This year, my son heard that his thoughtfulness was appreciated, his ideas important, his expressions inspiring. He was also expected to write and deliver a compliment to each of his classmates.Practice threeTalk to kidsIn the end, I had to ask my husband to read my Valentine compliment to our son. I was simply crying too hard to get the words out. Witnessing the tenderness of school-age children saying what they thought was special about my little boy proved too much for me. But I was not alone. When I warned my son I might get emotional, he said, “That's OK. Lots of parents cry.” H e was right.This is what my husband read to our son on my behalf:Dear Cole:Your love of language and information has always amazed me. I love learning from you and with you. I admire how new words are so easily incorporated into your vocabulary. I think you are fresh and eager and loving.I admire that relationships are important to you. I like to listen to the connections you make with past experiences. I think you are good at remembering.I love how you are proud of yourself when you try something new. I feel proud, too.I like how your whole body tells a story, and your expressions make me feel good.I am proud of your willingness to express your fears and appreciate the reminder that you will grow at the pace that suits you best. I love your jokes and your fondness for telling them over and over—so I will laugh. I think you are fun to be with.I love that you are my son.I am really grateful to this school for creating a learning environment. These exercises benefit the parents as well as the kids. That, to me, is a Valentine worth giving.Practice fourMy familyI grew up in a family with six sisters. In my lifetime I have seen all of them abused by various men in their lives. Even my mother has the scars from two unsuccessful marriages.When I was a teenager, my mother shared some insights into all of their failed relationships. She explained that they really weren't expecting to be treated as queens, but they did desire two things from the men in their lives: to be told frequently that they are loved and to be shown often that they are special. It was at that point that I decided I would be the sort of husband my mom and sisters had dreamed of but never had.When I was dating my wife-to-be I remembered those two points my mother shared with me years earlier. I admit that I struggled trying to be able to express my love in words and in action. For most men, it isn't natural for us to be romantics. But then again, it isn't natural for us to be millionaires or sports superstars. It does take effort, practice and diligence. But the rewards are there.Now we've been married for nine years. I really, truly, deeply love my wife and let her know it every day by what I say and what I do. Our friends and family members all admire us and want to know our secret.Part fourSection 1Good old daysLife was very different in the 1950s than it is today. Divorce was not common. Husbands went out to work to support the whole family. Most women didn't work and depended on their husbands' incomes for living. Children didn't come home after school to an empty house as many do today. Families did more things together. One of the favorite family pastimes was a drive in the country. Gas was cheap. People had big cars, and the whole family could ride comfortably. Before TV became popular, people talked to each other more. Children didn't have as many toys, and they played more games together. On Saturdays the neighborhood theaters had special movies for children. The shows cost only 25 cents.People stayed at one job for most of their lives. They didn't change jobs every year like they do today. They also lived in the same house for a long time. They didn't move as much.Services were better in the 1950s. Doctors often came to a sick person's house, especially if you were “sick in bed”. Milkmen delivered fresh dairy products daily to homes. There were no self-service gas stations, and attendants used to wash your car windows and check your oil free of charge.Scetion 2East Meets West and Loves ItHisham and I will have been married for twenty years this February. Everybody said it would not work. H e is Jordanian, Muslim, and I am Italian, Catholic. W e met in Florida twenty-two years ago. What we had in common was nothing except youth. He could barely speak the English language, and I thought Arabs were from India. Within a year I found out where J ordan was exactly and he could say “I love you” in broken English.When we got married people actually placed bets at our small wedding in my family's dining room. They thought our relationship would not last a year. Hisham did not tell his parents he was married for almost five years. He felt that if he failed at school his family would blame the marriage. Of course everybody, from Arabs to Americans, thought he married me to get a green card. I knew he didn't.I lived in his country for six years after graduation and had a son there. Through Hisham's eyes I saw the beauty of his culture and religion and the simple ways of his people. Being from N ew York and living in Amman, Jordan, I still had my Christmas tree each year, my Easter eggs and even a Halloween pumpkin in the window. I alsotook some of their ways—cooking, methods of mothering, socializing—and it enhanced my own character in the long run.Throughout the years, I was not the Italian girl from New York, not the American married to the Arab; I was a beautiful blended person with two children and a man who loves me.Section IIILove You and Love Your WeaknessA man had two large pots for carrying water. One pot had a crack in it, while the other was perfect. At the end of the long walk from the stream to his house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For two years the man had been delivering only one and a half pots full of water everyday to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of itself. And the cracked pot felt ashamed and miserable because it was able to do only half of the work. After two years of failure, it spoke to the man one day.“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because of this crack in my side,” t he pot said. The man felt sorry for it and said, “As we return to the house, I want you to look at the beautiful flowers along the path.” Indeed, as they went up the hill, the cracked pot saw the sun warming the beautiful flowers on the side of the path. But it still felt bad because half of the water had run away, and again it apologized.Then the man said to the pot, “Did you see that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about you and planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the house. Without you, the house would not look so beautiful.”。

Uint1III. Listening InScriptM: Tell me your secret. You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W:Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖.Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is likea muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

It seems to work that way.Julia: Thanks.Mike: So how are you?Julia: I'm fine. How are you?Mike: Good. Good.Julia: So what were you guys talking about?Carlos: We were just talking about the ideal roommate.Julia: Oh.Jane: Julia, you have three roommates.Julia: Oh, yeah.Jane: What do you think makes an ideal roommate?Julia: Hmm. Well, I want my roommate to be a neat person, as I want everything to be in order. I don't like to see our rooms in a mess.Mike: Y ou want a neat person. I'd like my roommate to be very thoughtful. This is important because people who live together need to help each other. For example, if I were sick and it was my turn to clean the living room, my roommate would do it for me. And I would not hesitate to ask him to do a favor for me. In fact, I'm lucky. I've a roommate like that right now.Carlos: So you mean you like a helpful roommate, and he can always give you a hand when you are in trouble. If you ask me, I would like someone who is interesting. Jane: Y ou mean who shares your interests?Carlos: Not only that. I mean he is really intelligent and interested in learning new things. He has different experiences from me and can share ideas with me. This roommate and I, we would immediately tell each other everything, and in this way become closer. It's a natural closeness, not something we have to work on. So just give me somebody really intelligent, and we can work together.Julia: So you are actually looking for a friend, not a roommate. A roommate doesn't have to be your best friend. If you have such high expectations of him, you might be disappointed. A roommate is different from a friend. If you want to look for a friend, he doesn't have to be your roommate.Jane: So far, no one has mentioned honesty and I think that honesty is really important. Do you all agree with me on this?Julia: Oh, yeah.Mike: Y es, I agree with you. Y ou have to live with your roommate for a long time. If you don't trust him, how could you be happy? But if my roommate is honest, then I would want him for my friend. Now, personally, I am unwilling to live with a quiet person. I mean a person who is silent and has nothing interesting to share with me. Such a person would make me feel unhappy.Julia: Then how about a good sense of humor? Do you think it is important? Carlos: Y es, I think it's important. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live with someone whosees the humor in everything? Y ou'd have so much fun together, and you'd never be bored.Mike: I agree with you, but it's impossible for a roommate to be perfect. I would hate for my roommate to want me to be perfect. Won't you? We should never demand too much of our roommates. Or we'll ruin our relationship, and we need to remember that. Julia: OK, let's be realistic and try to appreciate what we have now.Exercise 2A√ B C√D√E√ F G√H I√Exercise 31,in a mess 2,my turn 3.a hand in trouble 4.work on 5.expectations of 6,how about 7.too much 8,what we havePart TwoListening IM = man W = womanM: Hello, 776-2235.W: Oh, good evening.

The little child had no shoes and his clothes were old and torn. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him into the store. There she bought him some new shoes and warm clothes.They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, "Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday."The little boy looked up at her and asked, "Are you God, ma'am?"She smiled down at him and replied, "No, son, I'm just one of his children."The little boy then said, "I knew you had to be a relative of God."Exercise 11,A 2.B 3.B 4.D 5.AExercise 2old and torn 2.blue 3.by the hand 4,holiday 5.relativeExercise 31.A woman and a little boy.

She saw an old lady with a small bag of groceries at her feet. She was breathing hard."If you're going toward 181st Street, could you carry my bag for me?""I don't have the time for this," the younger woman thought. But when she saw the old woman, who looked very tired, she said, "Of course."The old woman took hold of the younger woman's arm and they walked together slowly and talked. They were neighbors but they didn't know each other. The old woman lived alone and the younger woman lived with her family. They talked about the difficulty of living in a big city: the younger woman talked about the cost of food and the problems of raising children, the older about loneliness.They finally reached the old woman's apartment house. She seemed reluctant to go in. She reached into her purse. "Let me give you a dollar for your trouble," she said."Oh, no. It was no trouble.""Well, we're neighbors," the old woman said. "We'll see each other again.""I hope so."The old woman took her bag and started to go in.

People always say things like that when they fall in love, Jane. Jane: Exactly, but I'm asking you now, after five years, would you do anything for him?Laurie: No, not anything. Obviously, there are things I wouldn't do, just the other night, I said "forget it". But what do you have in mind? Give me an example.Jane: OK, right, now let's think. Now, if um... OK, say he was wanted by the police, would you lie to protect him?Laurie: Ooh, it'd depend on the crime I think. If it was a traffic ticket, probably. But no, ooh.

Laurie: No, Jane, why could he possibly want me to give it up?Jane: Well, I don't know, say if he was feeling threatened by your success or something like that.Laurie: No, absolutely not.Jane: But he might be, what if he really wanted you to give up your career? Would you?Laurie: Of course not. Not for that reason, no. Because that would break us up eventually because of the resentment. I wouldn't ask him to give up his career, unless he changed careers and I don't know, say if he became a hit man or something. Jane: What about if he, say if he found a new religion or something, that he was completely obsessed with it and he wanted you to convert to that religion, would you do that for him?Laurie: He's a good Catholic boy, so I somehow can't see that happening. Y ou mean like some cult or something? That I think would be the beginning of the end. If someone's so obsessive about religion, I think, then there's only room for that.Jane: But if you loved him?

I mean, we both work, we both live in the house, we agreed that housework is... is both of our responsibility, I don't like to have to keep reminding you about it. It makes me feel like an old nag or something.Brian: Sometimes you are an old nag.Norma: Oh, great!Brian: No, it's just that I don't notice when things get dirty like you do. Look, all you have to do is tell me, and I'll do it.Norma: No, I don't want to be put in that position. I mean, you can see dirt as well as I can. Otherwise—I mean, that puts all the responsibility on me.Brian: It's just that cleanliness is not a high priority with me. There are other things I would much rather do. Besides, the living room floor does not look that dirty. Norma: Brian.Brian: Okay, a couple crumbs.Exercise 11.A2.B3.D4.C5.DPart FourSection IJane: What kind of man would you like to marry, Sally?Sally: I suppose I'd have to take two things into consideration: his personality and his background.Jane: What would you look for?Sally: Well, he'd have to be intelligent—I can't stand stupid people. He'd have to be hard-working, reliable, and down to earth. I couldn't get along with someone who wasn't practical.Jane: I like a man with a good sense of humor.Sally: Oh, I do, too. He'd have to be good-natured. I have a terrible temper myself, and I don't think a marriage can work if both people are the same.Jane: What did you mean when you said that background was important?Sally: As far as I'm concerned, people who've been brought up in different environments think differently. They usually just can't understand each other well enough to get married.Jane: Do you think that good looks are important?Sally: In my opinion, that matters the least, though of course I couldn't marry an ugly man.Part AA B C√ D E√F√G√H I J K√L√Part B1.personality background2.terrible3.same4.looksSection IIA few months ago, I moved into a very small flat after living for years with myparents. It is the first time I have ever had a place of my own and I am very fond of it, despite the lack of space. I had been there only for a few days when a friend phoned and begged me to let him stay for a while. He explained he had lost his job recently but was sure he would find another one very soon. Since I thought it would be only for a short time, I agreed.More than a month has gone by and my friend shows no sign of moving out. There are only two small rooms in the flat, plus the small bathroom and tiny kitchen. He has more or less taken over the front room. I don't like sharing the bathroom, either. In fact, I just don't like other people living in my flat!A few days ago, I decided that it was enough and that he would have to leave. I intended to tell him that I wanted the place to myself again, but he persuaded me to let him stay longer. He still hasn't found a job and can't afford to rent a place of his own. And there just doesn't seem to be anyone else he can stay with.Of course, I'd like to help him. He is, after all, a friend! But there are limits, even to friendship.

Scripts Unit 1Part II Listening and SpeakingTask 1 FAQs in job interviewComments on the three questions:Point for Q 1: Tell me something about yourself.Sample answers:Q1.I am graduating in June from ABC University and my major is hotel management. I am an outgoing, energetic person. I enjoy teamwork very much. As part of my degree program, I needed to finish different projects with my teammates. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a very positive attitude. My career aspiration is to become a successful hotelier（旅馆经理）. During my internship at the Grand Hyatt(君悦酒店), I worked as a receptionist. My duties included offering friendly and efficient check-in and check-out service to guests, answering phone calls, taking and passing on massages to guests. I find that if I can make the guests happy, I will be very happy, too.Q2.I received honors in several school-wide English and computer contests. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds. I am good at communicating, organizing and coordinating. If something blocks my path, I will look for a solution. I never give up easily.Sometimes I receive comments that I need to improve in the area of filing(文件归档). I am now trying to improve by learning from others.Q3.Interest and career development are two of my criteria in the choosing a job. Interest is the best motivation. I love the hotel business, so I will definitely devote myself to it. Moreover, high job satisfaction can be attained when the job is what I am interested in.Career development is very important for me when choosing a job. From what I know, Shangri-La provides equal career advancement for all staff. The job rotation(轮换)plan and individually tailored(定做的)training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me.Task 2 Inappropriate questions in job interviewScript:M: Come in, please.W: Good morning, sir. I’m Karen Yang.M: Good morning, Miss Yang. I’m Kevin Carter, the Administration Manager. Take a seat, please.W: Oh, is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.M: Thank you. Ah… Miss Yang, I’ve gone through your resume. I’d like to ask you some questions now, if you don’t mind.W: Of course not. Please go ahead.M: Well, can you tell me why you would like to work as a medical representative with us?W: I really like this kind of work, and having been a doctor for three years, I want to apply for this position for a change.M: Don’t you think it’s a pity for you to leave your present job?W: To some extent, it is. I have learned a lot in the hospital. But I would like to try a different kind of life. By the way, could you tell me how much the new job pays? M: Sure. There is a five-month probationary period(试用期) and you can only get RMB2,000 for each month. After that, we’ll determine your salary according to your performance.W: Oh, I see. Then, what about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that? M: Every employee in our company enjoys life insurance(人寿保险) and unemployment insurance. In addition, they enjoy two-week paid holidays.W: That sounds fine. How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?M: I’m not sure. It depends on your ability and performance. Maybe we’ll send you to one of our branches, if you like.W: No problem. I hate staying at one place all the time. But in which cities do you have your branches? And, where is your company based (把总部设在…)?M: Our company is based in New York, with branches in many cities, such as Philadelphia, Beijing and London.…Key:Is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.Avoid asking interviewer personal questions or making personal comments.Could you tell me how much the new job pays?The interviewer might infer from these questions that you are only interested in your own needs and not those of their company. Wait until the employer raises these subjects to discuss them.What about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that?How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?But in which cities do you have your branches? And where is your company based?It is also unwise to ask about things you should have already known. You are only telling the interviewer that you haven't done your homework.Part IV Viewing and SpeakingVideo 1 Applying for the position of financial consultantScript:Chen: Good morning, Ms Mandel.Ms. Mandel: Good morning, sit down, please.Chen: Thank you!Ms. Mandel: You are Chen Bo, aren’t you?

For example, I know I must first analyze the problem and work out the major cause. Then I will be able to search for ways to solve it from available data.Ms. Mandel: Sometimes data is not enough. Have you got any relevant experience in this field?Chen: Last year, during the probationary period, I was involved in the restoration of a factory in Nanjing, I really learned a lot from the experience, especially how to access评估people’s strengths and abilities.Ms. Mandel: Can you cope with hard work under pressure and in a tough environment?Chen: No problem, I don’t care about pressure or the environment as long as I enjoy the work.Ms. Mandel: Good. Now, do you have any questions to ask?Chen: Yes, I’ve got one. Are there any opportunities for Chinese employees to be transferred to the head office in New York or other branch offices around the world? Ms. Mandel: Um, probably. I think you are likely to be sent to work in an overseas branch to get experience later on once you’ve proved your worth.Chen: Oh, great. If I’m accepted, I will do my best for the company.Ms. Mandel: I wish you luck! We’ll notify you of our final decision by Friday. Chen: Thank you! Ms. Mandel.

UNIT 1Stay Hungry, Stay FoolishLesson OneAudio StudioSteve Jobs is the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. and former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios. He is the largest individual shareholder in W alt Disney. His name is associated with innovative products like the iPod, iPhone and iTunes. He is a much respected corporate leader whose management style is studied worldwide. His attention to design, function and style has won him millions of fans.Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955. He became interested in computers when he was a teenager. In 1974, he got a job as a technician at the video game maker Atari. He saved enough money to backpack around India and then returned to Atari.Jobs and W ozniak founded Apple in 1976. Jobs guided Apple to become a major player in the digital revolution. The introduction of the iMac and other cutting-edge products made it a powerful brand with a loyal following. Jobs also enjoyed considerable success at Pixar. He created Oscar-winning movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo.In 2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a cancer. In April 2009, he underwent a liver transplant and his prognosis was “excellent.”His advice to aspiring young entrepreneurs is: “Y ou’ve got to find what you love.”Video StudioI was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. W oz and I started Apple in my parents’garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees. W e’d just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I’d just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? W ell, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did. The turn ofevents at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.Lesson TwoAudio StudioMaking the transition from high school to college life can be difficult. It is easy to become discouraged, overwhelmed and homesick. Here are a few tips that will make the transition to college life a little easier.Y ou Are in Charge of Y our TimeAlong with your newfound freedom at college comes responsibility. Being responsible involves being able to manage your time. Using a planner to help you stay organized is highly recommended. Y ou should also try to plan your coursework in advance, so you can determine what extracurricular activities you will have time for.It’s Important to Keep an Open MindWhen you first move to college, you’re going to be in a newplace, handling new situations. So you need to keep an open mind. College isn’t just about learning facts and theories from textbooks. A large part of college involves learning how to be an adult.Home Is Only a Phone Call or Instant Message AwayIf going away to college is the first time you’ve been away from home for a long period of time, it’s natural to feel homesick. Don’t be pessimistic. And if things get too bad, home is only a phone call or instant message away.Video StudioAt the start of freshman year, finding a job after graduation is probably the last thing on your mind, but before you know it, it’ll be senior year and finding that job will be your top priority. Hi, I’m Lindsey Pollak, generation Y career expert and author of Getting from College to Career. I’m standing here on the campus of Columbia University to talk about a four year plan to land the job of your dreams after you graduate.W ell, everybody’s experien ce is very different. There are a few guidelines you can follow for each of your four years. Freshman year, don’t worry too much about your career plans. Try lots of activities, get your feet wet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is you most enjoy. Sophomore year is the time to narrow down your academic focus and decide on a college major. Y ou alsowant to narrow your options in terms of your extracurricular activities to focus on your biggest commitments.And finally I recommend getting a professional internship the summer between your sophomore and junior years to start having professional experience you’ll be able to list on a résumé. Junior year is a time to take on leadership positions in the extracurricular activities that you’ve chosen. It’s also really important to get your GPA above a 3.0 because that’s the cut-off for many employers to give you a job. And finally if you haven’t done an internship already, it’s essential to have at least one on your résumé by the end of your junior year.Home Listening1)anxiety2)definitely3)experienced4)volume5)possibly6)decisions7)patience8)satisfying9)Explore the local town or suburbs with one or two of your new friends.10)Going to college is as much about finding out who you really are as it is about getting that degree.。

Unit 1 book 11.听力原文（Active Listening and Speaking 1）Hi, I’m Donna Bones, life and relationship coach here in New York City, and the author of It’s All About You.In this program, we’ll talk about how to make a good first impression in college. And the first thing is really just the basics. Make sure that you dress nice. You know, just because you can doesn’t mean you should wear sweat pants, and be really casual when you go to class.Be on time. Being on time just shows respect and it’s a good habit to get into for your whole life. If you can sit near the front where you can participate and ask questions, then that’s a good way to make a good impression.And, really study. I know it’s tempting， but you are in college to learn. So, if you can, really make your studies a priority and do that first. So the best way to make a good impression is to make school your top priority, dress nice, ask questions in class, show up on time, and really dedicate yourself to learning. I promise you as you get older and go through life, yes, you’ll look back at the great times you had in college. But the most important thing is the education that you got at college.And as far as to the other students, if you want to make a good impression, maybe, you know, go join a fraternity or sorority or something. And join a club, or something else to get you involved with other people, because then you can get to meet other people and make new friends.So I think, as long as you’re true to yourself, and confident in yourself, and proud of yourself, you’ll always make a good first impression no matter where you go.2.words bankSome examples for your reference:Words SentencescasualI had no idea what Sunday lunch meant in French terms, whetherit was formal or casual.priorityHis first priority was to find someone who could aid him in hissearch.dedicate Divide up what you have to learn into manageable parts and then dedicate one day to one part.involvePeople should note that health funds are not morally acceptableas they may include companies involved in animal testing. confidentThere were times when I’d done both those things, but still wasn'tvery confident.participateThe athlete refused to participate in the games for politicalreasons.3.how to start a conversationExpression for starting a conversation at a Party or Club:—What an amazing party!

They come from 100 different nations, and they speak almost 150 different languages!No group is the majority here. Other neighborhoods might have more immigrants. But only in Queens are there so many different cultures and nationalities, all in one place.Queens Resident:“I know that I am from Madras, the southern part of India. My parents live there and my grandparents live there.”Queens Resident:“My mom’s from South Korea and on my father’s side I am German, Irish, English, and I think a little bit Native American but that part I’m not sure.”Queens Resident:“My great grandfather was Puerto Rican, and his parents were Puerto Rican and so on and so forth, so as far as I know, we’ve always been Puerto Rican.Narrator:Queens isn’t the most diverse place in the world. Other cities in Africa and India have as much or even more diversity.But for now, Queens is the most diverse place in the U.S., and people in this community seem happy about that.1.one of the most diverse places: 最多样化的地方之一2.on my father’s side: 父亲这边的亲缘（来讲）3. a little bit Native American: 有一点美洲本土人的血缘4.and so on and so forth: 如此等等，诸如此类5.as far as:就……来说，在……看来。

Unit 1 book 11.听力原文（Active Listening and Speaking 1）Hi, I’m Donna Bones, life and relationship coach here in New York City, and the author of It’s All About You.In this program, we’ll talk about how to make a good first impression in college. And the first thing is really just the basics. Make sure that you dress nice. You know, just because you can doesn’t mean you should wear sweat pants, and be really casual when you go to class.Be on time. Being on time just shows respect and it’s a good habit to get into for your whole life. If you can sit near the front where you can participate and ask questions, then that’s a good way to make a good impression.And, really study. I know it’s tempting，but you are in college to learn. So, if you can, really make your studies a priority and do that first.So the best way to make a good impression is to make school your top priority, dress nice, ask questions in class, show up on time, and really dedicateyourself to learning. I promise you as you get older and go through life, yes, you’ll look back at the great times you had in college. But the most important thing is the education that you got at college.And as far as to the other students, if you want to make a good impression, maybe, you know, go join a fraternity or sorority or something. And join a club, orsomething else to get you involved with other people, because then you can get to meet other people and make new friends.So I think, as long as you ’re true to yourself, and confident in yourself, and proud of yourself, you ’ll always make a good first impression no matter where you go.2.words bankSome examples for your reference:WordsSentences casual I had no idea what Sunday lunch meant in French terms, whether it wasformal or casual .priority His first priority was to find someone who could aid him in his search.dedicate Divide up what you have to learn into manageable parts and thendedicate one day to one part.involvePeople should note that health funds are not morally acceptable as theymay include companies involved in animal testing.confident There were times when I ’d done both those things, but still wasn't veryconfident .participate The athlete refused to participate in the games for political reasons.3.how to start a conversationExpression for starting a conversation at a Party or Club:—What an amazing party!

Time to get a move on, sweetheart! Wow. You know, if Mom was here, she’d know exactly what to say. She'd be so excited you're going to her school, gonna join her sorority.Sydney: I’m not in yet, Dad.Dad: Girl, you’re gonna fit into that place like a... overflow tube in a pressure tank. Sydney: Come on, Dad. We said no mushy stuff.Dad: Right. No mushy stuff. Come here.Sydney: I love you, Dad.Mom:Dear Sydney, I love you so much. I’m so sorry I’m not there to see you off to college.

By the people, for the people, and of the people. But most Americans would be surprised to find how afraid the Founding Fathers were of what a direct democracy could do to the country. Can anyone tell me why? The young man snoring there, perhaps?Student 1:The Founding Fathers were afraid that direct democracy would do to America what it did to Rome. Alexander Hamilton even advocated a monarchy. (snores)Professor:Exactly. We are trained to think the more power the people have, the better. Can any of you tell me some reasons why this isn’t necessarily true? Ah, Terrence. Still here after eight years. What do you say we give someone else a chance to respond this time, huh? Um... Ms. Witcburn?Ms. Witchburn:Most Americans don’t educate themselves about the issues. There are some valid arguments for keeping things a little bit more... elite. You could even argue a case for certain types of oligarchy.Professor:Interesting. Let's hear from someone else. How about... you? Ms? Sydney:White.Professor:Ms. White. Any thoughts?Sydney:Um... I guess I think that's... underestimatingthe masses a bit. Not to mention overestimatingthe elites. Apartheid was an oligarchy, and no one wants that again. Professor:Excellent.5.词汇1.适应大学fit into the college2.不要伤感。

In the end, I didn’t want to go home!Audio Track 2-1-7/Audio Track 2-1-8Making memoriesA popular new hobby is scrapbooking —making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: ”School days, “ “Family travel,” “Memoriesof my grandparents,” “Baby’s first year. “2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters — anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Audio Track 2-1-9/Audio Track 2-1-10/Audio Track 2-1-11Yearbooks in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year —a “book of memories”for the students.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or secondyear students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students.The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”(a funny student), the “most likely to succeed”(a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “best dressed”(a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,”or “I’ll never forget you.”They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Audio Track 2-1-12Conversation 1Sandy: Hello?Joe: Hi, Sandy.
