Maybe she likes you.Gilbert: But I don‟t have the guts to ask her out.Henry: What are you so afraid of?Gilbert: I‟d totally die if she turned me down.Henry: But that‟s better than keeping everything to yourself.

When you get to the part where I‟m expected to promise to …love, respect and obey her,‟…giving up all others,‟ and …be true to her forever,‟ I‟d be happy if you‟d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom‟s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FTask 3: Long Distance FriendshipsAmerican weddings are not always the same. I‟d like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.1. A2.B3.C4.D1-3-7-5-4-2-6IV. Speaking OutModel 1 I just broke up with Alice!John: Hey, Se-Jin, what‟s wrong with you? You look so down!Se-Jin: Nothing.John: I know it‟s not your studies, so it must be girl trouble. You must have a broken heart.Se-Jin: Well, you‟re right. I just broke up with Alice.John: Oh, I‟m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.Se-Jin: Well, you never know. I want to settle down, but she wants a career while she‟s still young.John: Well, it‟s always difficult to choose between career and family.Se-Jin: Maybe you‟re right.John: I don‟t know what to say to comfort you, but try to cheer up!Se-Jin: Yeah, but it‟s hard to forget her at the moment.

Laura: I don‟t care what other people think. I just know that I love him and he loves me. Love‟s all that matters.Now Your TurnA: Well, you and Chris have been together for a long time.

For me, love is the most important V. Let‟s TalkDatingBefore marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.”They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other‟s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.Dating DescriptionCausal dating Early teensSteady dating Late teensMany partners e.g. a dance, a game, a picnicDouble dating Two couplesGroup dating Large groupsGo out for a long period Intention to marryAdult dating Men and women.e.g.ski, work, dine together Casual dating system Those who hardly know each otherBlind dating Those who have never met beforeVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Finding the Right Type of GirlKeith: Hey, Peter! You‟ve been in the room all night. Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.Peter: No way, Keith! She‟s the intellectual type. My pickup line just won‟t work with her. Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.Keith: Times are changing, and you‟ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids. Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can‟t believe my ears. You‟ll never find a wife.1.B2.D3.C4.ATask 2: He thinks I‟m God.A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man‟s plans. The father invites the fiancéto his study for a drink.“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.“I am a Bible student,” he replies.“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she‟s accustomed to?”“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father. “I will concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”“Don‟t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, honey?”The father answers, “He had no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I‟m God.”1.F2.T3.F4.T5.TTask 3: LadyLady, I‟m your knight in shining armor and I love you.You have made me what I am and I am yours.My love, there‟s so many ways I want to say I love you.Let me hold you in my arms forever more.You have gone and made me such a fool;I‟m so lost in your love.And on, we belong together.Won‟t you believe in my song?Lady, for so many years I thought I‟d never find you.You have some into my life and made me whole.Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning.Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.In my eyes I see no one else but you.There‟s no other love like our love.And yes, oh yes, I‟ll always want you near me.I‟ve wanted for you so long.Lady, your love‟s the only love I needAnd beside me is where I want you to be.…Cause, my love, there‟s something I want you to know,You‟re the love of my life, you‟re my lady.SpeakingMutual LoveJill: You know, Robert, we‟ve been dating a long time now.Robert: Yeah.

A: A small one.Part2 Listening and Note-taking A Territory When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders areoften guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them. Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end ofthe room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A:1.

You know I was born in Lausanne*, Switzerland; myfather was Swiss-French Swiss and my mother was American,so, of course, we spoke both languages at home and I grew upbilingual. Then, of course, I learnt German at school - inSwitzerland that's normal. And because I was already fluent inEnglish, my second language at school was Italian. So I had areal head start (有利的开端)!Interviewer: So that's ... one, two, three, four - you had learnt four languages by the time you left school? How fluent were you? Suzanne: Urn, I was native speaker standard in French and English, butI'd become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was onlyschool standard. I decided the best option was to study in theUK, and I did Hispanic Studies at university, studying Spanishand Portuguese, with some Italian, and living in Manchester.Then I went to live in Brazil for two years, teaching English. Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six languages? Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasn't perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became prettygood!Interviewer: And then what did you do?Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to aninterpreters' school and then got a job in the United Nationswhen I was 28.Interviewer: And you've been there ever since?Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czech interpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987and that was where I learnt Czech.Interviewer: And the eighth language?Suzanne: Well, unfortunately the marriage didn't last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday,got a job and stayed for two years, which was when I learntJapanese.Interviewer: That's amazing! And now you're back at the United Nations? Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried on doing work for them when I was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria andSwitzerland, and I took a "sabbatical*" to work in Japan. Theyneed people who can understand Japanese. But, yes, I've beenback with them full-time for two years now.Interviewer: And your plans for the future?Suzanne: I'm going to learn more Oriental languages. It was such a challenge learning Japanese - it's so different from all the others.So I'll spend another two or three years here with the UNfull-time, during which time I hope to get a substantialpromotion, then I think I'll go back and learn Korean, orperhaps Chinese, and Thai - I'd love to learn Thai. And then,perhaps an Indian language. Whatever, I want to be fluent inanother three or four languages before 45.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.T 2.F 3.F 4.F 5.T 6.F 7.T 8.T 9. T 10. FPart 2 PassageThe Clyde RiverRunning through one of Britain's biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow, the Clyde River* was poisoned for more than a century bythe fetid* byproducts of industry.The waterway bore the brunt of(首当其冲)Glasgow's economic success during the Industrial Revolution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life.For the first time since the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a riverthat was once one of Britain's filthiest.The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumnat 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon in sevenof the nine major tributaries.The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, but last year's survey was the first to show they've come back in healthy numbers.Although commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fish's return is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the city's identity that two are picturedon its official coat of arms.The salmon's comeback is also a sign of big improvements to water quality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in recent years, salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated* water to thrive.The decline of Glasgow's main industries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was essentially fishless for decades during the worst periods of pollution.The closure of factories that had poured toxins* and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lightened dumping rules, and modern sewage processing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air.With worries rising about the environmental impact of enormous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good news for Scotland's fish lovers.Since the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to its history.The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s. Later, during the Industrial Revolution that began in the late1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the country's great manufacturing centers.The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular tourist destination.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionRivers are important to humans because they supply fresh drinking water, serve as home for important fishes, and provide transportation routes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

He says the nine chemicals that have joined the list of Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPS, are extremely harmful to the environment and to health.The newly targeted chemicals include products that are widely used in pesticides and flame-retardants, and in a number of other commercial uses, such as a treatment for head lice.These nine toxic chemicals will join the Stockholm Convention's original list of 12 Persistent Organic Pollutants, referred to as the "dirty dozen."The pollutants are especially dangerous because they cross boundaries and travel long distances, from the Equator to the Arctic. They persist inthe atmosphere and take many years, often decades, to degrade into less dangerous forms.They pose great risks to the environment and human health, especially to young people, farmers, pregnant women and the unborn.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about a ban of nine of the world’s most hazardous chemicals.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following passage.UN environment Program Executive welcomed the agreement to ban the production of nine of the world’s most hazardous chemicals that are extremely harmful to the environment and to health.

A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will focus on ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud (世界气象组织秘书长贾侯)says countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate. They must be able to respond to a world that is likely to experience more extreme weather events, such as floods and hurricanes.Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adapt to a dryer climate. He says they might have to modify irrigation systems or consider growing crops that do not require much rain.He says global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Therefore, better and more timely information on these phenomena are essential to make decisions onclimate variability and change. To do this, he says, weather observation networks must be strengthened.The WMO chief says climate change is a global problem. And, everyone needs everyone else to solve this problem. He says even the biggest, richest countries cannot do it alone. He says the developed world needs reliable weather information from developing countries andvice-versa.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an appeal for global cooperation to deal with climate change.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and answer the following questions.1)Scientists predict the world will get hotter over the coming decades.2)A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will focuson ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.3)Countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate.4)Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adaptto a dryer climate.

An unexpected discovery at the southern end of the reef has provided some rare good news for researchers.Researchers found that coral in the Keppel Islands off Queensland, which was damaged by bleaching in 2006 and then smothered by seaweed that overgrew the reef, has managed to repair itself.Experts say to see reefs bounce back from mass coral bleaching in less than a decade is highly unusual.Like other coral systems, the Great Barrier Reef is facing a range ofenvironmental threats. Scientists say their capacity to recovery from damage inflicted by warmer waters, for example, will be critical to its future health.The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's premier tourist attractions. It covers an area bigger than Britain and is the largest living structure on earth and the only one visible from space.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the Great Barrier Reef.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.

Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted. Mr. Ban urged people everywhere to pressure their governments to take decisive action to cut carbon pollution.Organizers are hoping that up to a billion people from small villages in Namibia to sprawling cities in Asia will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.One of the architects of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley from the conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms."The global economic crisis has proved that we are a global community, so when America goes bad, we all go bad and climate change is going to be on a scale that is way, way beyond our global economic crisis at the moment and we need to put in place the measures to a) slow that down and ideally halt it, b) be ready for economies that will have to change. So, the longer we procrastinate the more we pay the penalty so we need to move quickly," he said.Earth Hour was started by environmentalists in Sydney in 2007. It encourages households, businesses and governments to switch off all non-essential lights for 60 minutes in a show of unified concern for thehealth and future of the planet.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and its aim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year, which hopes to establish a new U.N. climate treaty.However, critics of Earth Hour have insisted it is simply a symbolic gesture that will not affect significant environmental change.The event will officially begin on the international dateline in the remote Chatham Islands southeast of New Zealand and will conclude in Hawaii.Exercise A: Directions: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a global event known as Earth Hour.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Scotland's Edinburgh Castle, the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing andthe pyramids in Egypt will join the Sydney Opera House in d imming their lights as part of Earth Hour.2.Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate changedemonstration ever attempted.anizers are hoping that up to a billion people will participate in aninternational effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.4.Andy Ridley, One of the architects of Earth Hour, says the currentfinancial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms.5.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and itsaim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year.Part 2 PassageLab produces shape-shifting fruits and vegetables Many fruits and vegetables we know almost as much by their shape as by their color or taste. Bananas are long and curved. Onions are round. But what if you could alter the familiar shape? Would a square tomato still be a tomato?Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits and vegetables so they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen. It can be done to some extent with traditional hybrid techniques. And as we hear from reporter Julie Grant, it can also be done by flipping a genetic switch.Ester van der Knaap steps gingerly around the greenhouse. We're at the Ohio State Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster.Van Der Knaap points out short, round tomatoes - and some odd-looking long, thin ones.V AN DER KNAAP: "That's one gene. One gene can make that difference."Van der Knaap's team discovered that gene and isolated it. They call it the SUN gene. And they've been able to clone it in tomatoes.Van der Knaap's research could lead to square-shapes - something she thinks the tomato industry might like. Square tomatoes fit into packages better. And, overall, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.So far money for her research has come from the National Science Foundation - not big ag.Designer fruit shapes are gaining popularity.People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes they want for a long time. But this is not the same thing.Dick Alford is a chef and professor of hospitality management at the University of Akron [Ohio].The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks have been doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference between cross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.Chef Alford watches students as they cut yellow crookneck squashand carrots.They're trying to make uniform, symmetrical shapes out of curvy and pointed vegetables. There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.ALFORD: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you could get a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great."In a country that loves hamburgers, Van der Knaap has heard that request before. But the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. She says there's more genetics to be studied.“Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes”, Van der Knaap says, “ we'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And maybe then we'll get those square carrots.”Exercise A Pre-listening Question(open)Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

The hybrid or cross-breeding technique is regarded as the traditional way of changing the shape of fruits.3.The genetic technique which can also change the shape of fruits.4.They discovered the SUN gene and managed to clone it in tomatoes.pared with round tomatoes, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.6.The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks havebeen doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference between cross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.7.There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.8.“Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes, Van der Knaap says we'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And mayb e then we'll get those square carrots.”Exercise D After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1. Chef Alford’s request: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you could get a nice long, a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great." Van der Knaap’s opinion is that the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. and there's more genetics to be studied.2)(Open)。

real thought to the kind of person you are,what you are good at,and what kind of person you want to be."Do I know the kind of occupations in which people like myself tend to find success and satisfaction?"Once you have examined and found out about yourself,your next question is what you can really do with yourself.You can gain some idea of what other people,with similarabilities and

Simplify At a certain stage of English listening,some students may report a kind of unpleasant or even frustrating experience.They say that while listening,they seem to understand everything that they hear,but as soon as the voice stops,all is gone!They say that they just can't remember what they heard,not to mention writing down or speaking out.What causes this problem?Is it also your complaint?Let us try to discuss the matter from two perspectives.First,knowing some difference between comprehension and production is important.When we learn a new language,we usually pass through at least three communication stages,namely,the one-way stage,the partial two-way stage and the full two-way stage.Obviously,there's the gap in between.Just as Brown and Terrell point out in their books on language learning and language teaching,"The inability to produce an item should not be taken to mean that the learner cannot comprehend it."Therefore,ifwe can comprehend what is being said to us,we have achieved the first goal.That's quite encouraging!Secondly,of course,we'll have to move on.And we must be aware of some possible traps on our way to effective listening.When we listen,w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网are we paying equal attention to every element in each utterance?Are we attempting to memoriz e and repeat and write down all the details in a passage?If so,we need to think for a while.Human memory can retain only a limited amount of information at a time.Therefore,only by learning to select and simplify can we possibly absorb what is really important and then remember what is the most essential.In fact,when we listen,we usually listen with a purpose.Although it is sometimes necessary to get detailed and specific information on the subject,it is,more often than not,quite enough for us to grasp the key words and the main points.Furthermore,in the course of listening,if we are capable of automatically turning the complicated sentence structures into simple ones,interrogative into affirmative,or passive into active,our brain will certainly do a much smarter job in helping our memory.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。

Their purpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the "ins and outs*" of that field from a practitioner*. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate* your interest in and suitability for a particular opportunity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have. explore the compatibility* of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informationalinterviewing will often provide leads* as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to meet for an informational interview, try contacting employers or organizations found in one of the closed stack*directories in the CRC* library.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.2.

Yet candidates from both parties are promising change.There are major issues facing Americans: the weakening economy, the Iraq war. Other concerns include the troubled housing market, high costs of health care and energy, and the debate over illegal immigration.But interest in the election is also being driven by the candidates themselves.

The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in thenation's elementary schools and high schools, Each year there are about three million high school graduates.The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life – for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then retell il in your own words. You will hear thepassage only once.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG," this is of little help to the postman~ He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences,2. A3. C4. A5. D6. A7. D8. BPassage 2 Study in the United StatesThe latest report from the Institute for International Education gives information from the school year that began in September of last year and ended in May of this year. It says more than 500,000 foreign college students attended American schools during that school year.New York University in New York City had the largest number of foreign students. Almost5,000 foreign students attended NYU last year. The University of Southern California at Los Angeles had the second largest number of students, about 4,500.The report says the State of California had the most foreign students, with about 66,000 living there last year. New York State was next, with about 55,000 foreign students.China sent the most foreign students to the United States last year. More than 54,000 Chinese students attended American schools. Japan sent the next highest number of students, almost 47,000. India was next, with about 42,000. And Korea was fourth, sending more than 41,000 students to the United States.The report says the most popular subjects of study for international students in the United States last year were business and management. Twenty percent of all foreign students were studying those subjects. Fifteen percent studied engineering. Nineteen percent studied mathematics and computer science.Exercise A: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write T or F in the space provided. Discuss with your classmates why you think the statement is true or false.F 1. The school year in the United States begins in September of this year and endsin June of next year. (The school year in the United States begins in September of this year and ends in May of the next year.)F 2. New York University in the State of New York had the largest number of foreign students.

Last year the most popular subject of study for international students in theUnited States was computer science. (Last year the most popular subject of study for international stu- dents in the United States was business and management.)Exercise B: Listen to the report again and match the number of students with the corresponding country.54,000 India47,000 China421000 Korea41 000 JapanPart 2 Oral WorkIn a recent broadcast, I heard a woman say that she felt guilty because she spent~20 at an auction sale. She was afraid her husband might accuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend ~20 as her husband. Sometimes both husband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic. Do you agree with the speaker that the woman's attitude is wrong。

One of the most popular legends is associated with a boy named Kaldi. One day, when Kaldi was with his goats, he noticed a sudden change in their behavior. The goats turned energetic and Kaldi wanted to know why. Then he saw a wild coffee shrub. Probably his goats had eaten some cherries off this shrub. He was curious and had a taste of the wild cherries himself. Upon feeling energized, he spread the story of these wild cherries in his village. Then it quickly spread between the monks and even the local people. The monks found it very useful because it helped them to stay awake during the night. The Arabs were considered to be the first to grow coffee. They even began the trade. The first coffee plants are said to have come from the shores of the Red Sea. Coffee beans were actually considered to be a food in the past. It was only in the 11th century that coffee began to be developed into a hot drink. The Venetian merchants imported coffee to Europe and by the middle of the 17th century, a number of coffee houses appeared all over the town. A lot of people gathered here to discuss business and to chat. After several centuries, coffee began to be drunk all over the world.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6.According to a popular legend, coffee was first discovered by a _____.boymonkfarmermerchant7.Kaldi's goats were energetic because _____.they were having funthey had drunk coffeethey had eaten the leaves off a coffee shrubthey had eaten the cherries off a coffee shrub8._____ were considered to be the first to grow coffee.The monksThe ArabsThe Africans<optionThe Europeans9.What is TRUE about coffee before the 11th century?</sound> Coffee was not known by people.Europeans began to drink coffee.Coffee was treated as a food.No one knew how to grow coffee.10.What did people do in the first coffee houses?</transcript>They drank coffee only.They discussed business.They made new friends.They ate their dinner.Harvard School of Public Health developed a guide for healthy eating called "The Healthy Eating Pyramid". There are six levels in the "Healthy Eating Pyramid" and each level has a group of foods recommended in your daily diet. The first group includes foods like breads and cereals. You can have at most 10 to 12 servings a day. Grains form the basis of this level. The second and third groups include vegetables and fruits. They are a source of fiber and vitamins. The healthy pyramid recommends at least 4 servingsa day. The fourth group consists of dairy products likecheese, milk, and yogurt. The "Healthy Eating Pyramid"recommends 3 servings per day. The fifth group includes foods that provide vitamins, minerals and proteins. Some of the foods recommended in the fifth level are meat, chicken, eggs and fish. You should also include dry fruits, nuts and beans. Have at least 2 helpings a day. The sixth and last group is placed at the top in the food pyramid. These food items are high in sugar and fat. It is wise to have little of these foods. This healthy pyramid gives importance to the quality and not the quantity of food you eat. A recent update to the "Healthy Eating Pyramid" is the inclusion of salt to the sixth group, and recommends adding little salt to your food. It also suggests including Vitamin D daily in your diet.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11._____ form<s> the first level of the "Healthy Eating Pyramid".MilkWaterVegetablesGrains12.What is NOT included in the fifth group?</transcript> Fish.Eggs.Dry fruits.Yogurt.>13.Most foods in the sixth group contain a lot of _____. vitaminsproteinssugarsalt14 _____ is newly included into the sixth group of the food pyramid.FatCoffeeSaltJunk food15.The healthy pyramid gives importance to _____ of food.the quality, not the quantitythe quantity, not the qualityneither the quality nor the quantityboth the quality and the quantityIn this section, you will hear several sentences.

Anyone who knows anything about the restaurant business will tell you that success isn't easy to come by. I started out with a small diner in a not so busy neighborhood. By offering good service and great food, I have been able to expand my business to higher traffic locations. And I made good money. The truth of the matter is, however, that I certainly couldn't have done it alone. I have a great staff at all of my locations, some of the best food distributors in the area and loyal customers that recognize the value of a well cooked, well priced, timely meal.Look at the pictures below, which are all about a traditional Chinese food. As you can find in the pictures, there are different varieties of this food.

Somehow, however, we made it work. And I found myself growing to become more like him. I started picking up Chinese characteristics and began speaking English with a Chinese accent! My brother joked, saying I was even beginning to look Chinese! My husband has changed a lot too, becoming more like Canadians in attitude. I suppose this is something of a compromise wherein we met each other in the middle. I suspect that we will continue to grow more alike as time goes by; that is exciting to me.

In the past, when two people married each other, they intended to stay together for life. Today, many people marry believing that they can always get divorced if the marriage does not work out. In the past, a large majority of the Americans frowned of the idea of divorce. Furthermore, many people believed that getting a divorce was a luxury that only the rich could afford. Indeed, getting a divorce is very expensive. However, since so many people have begun to take a more casual view of marriage, it is interesting to know that the costs of getting a divorce are lower. In fact, in the United States today, it is not unusual to see newspaper ads to provide information on how and where to get a cheap divorce. Hollywood has always been known as the divorce capital of the world. The divorce rate among movie stars is so high that it is difficult to know who is married to whom. Today many movie stars change husbands and wives as though they were changing clothes. Until marriage again become the serious and important part of people's lives that it used to be, we will probably continue to see a high rate of divorce.1. What did many Americans think of divorce in the past?2.

In the speaker's view, when will the high rate of divorce drop?1.B2.D3.B4.C5.ATask 31.they care about2.performed marriages .3.wait longer to get married4.bring people together5.plan a blind date6.follow their cultural traditions7.meant for the other 8.establishing a relationship9.improve their chances 10.meet someone over the Internet。

to catch the exact numbers spoken in english is an important but difficult skill for a chinese learner. a good way isto practice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. it also helps to practice writing down the numbers you hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into chinese. youre going to hear a passage about michael jordan, a retired american professional basketball player.listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers. michael jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. he was born on feb.17, 1963, in brooklyn, new york. he is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. jordan joined the chicago bulls team for the 1984 season. in the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score ever. he was named nba slam dunk champion(扣篮冠军)in 1987 and won the most valuable player award in 1988, an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998. jordan guided his team to win six nba championships during the 1990s, scoring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 nba finals. in 1999, he was named the greatest north american athlete of the 20th century. jordan left the nba at the beginning of the 1993-1994 nba season to pursue a career in baseball. since his baseball game wasnt quite as good as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the bulls in 1995. yet, after playing for five more years, he once again announced his retirement in 1999. but he returned for two more nba games in 2001 as a member of the washington wizards.[ti:unit 1 part b]listening tasks a conversationwhy dont you join me at the gym sometime?exercise 1listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.peter: hi laura. where are you heading with that big bag?laura: hi, peter. im off to the gym. ive got to stay in shape, you know. i try to go three times a week, but im busy so i cant always make it.peter: i know more women who work out than men. whats the main reason you work out? for your health, or to look good?laura: to be honest, for both. with women, good looks are always a very important consideration. peter: if they werehonest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.laura: how about you? do you get any regular exercise?peter: i do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but i never go to the gym like you do.laura: well, walking is good exercise. how about sports?peter: not since my school days. i used to love playing baseball, but its impossible to get enough people together for a game now. mostly i just watch sports on tv.laura: i play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.peter: oh, i forgot about that. i go cycling sometimes too. and i often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.laura: why dont you join me at the gym sometime? i can get you a guest pass. peter: well, maybe someday, but im pretty lazy about things like that. questions1. what do you know about peter?2. where might the two speakers be having this conversation? speaking tasks pair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1a: whats your plan for this evening?b: well, theres a good game at the stadium but i havent got a ticket yet.a: im going to the gym. would you like to come along? i can get a guest pass for you. b: thats wonderful. id always wanted to work out in the new gym. thank you very much. conversation 2 a: hi, xiao wang. fancy meeting you here! how are you doing?b: cant complain. im busy with my experiments in the lab. but after work i often play some sports.a: like what?b: like swimming, running and sometimes tennis.a: tennis? thats my favorite game. say, whatre you doing this weekend? b: nothing particular. i guess ill probably just work in the lab. a: come on. you need to relax. what about a game of tennis? b: ok.conversation 3a: are you doing anything special tomorrow, bob? b: not really. why do you ask?a: some of us are going motorcycling. would you like to join us? b: motorcycling? ive never done that. isnt it a bit dangerous? a: maybe, but its really exciting.b: i enjoy jogging. its more relaxing.a: thats a good form of exercise. it can help you stay in shape. b: yes, its also safer.now make similar conversations according to the given situations. use the structures and expressions above in your conversations where appropriate[ti:unit 1 part c]test your listeningyoure going to hear five short conversations. listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. w: i like playing basketball, volleyball and table tennis. what about you? m: well, tennis is my favorite sport. q: what sport does the man like?2. w: you dont like boxing very much, do you? m: its far from being my kind of sport. q: what does the man mean?3. w: i think yesterdays football game was quite exciting. what about you, john?m: you said it. but it was a bit long.q: what does the man think about the football game? 4. w: do you like to play chess?m: i like the game, but i dont play it often enough. im afraid im not a very good chess player. q: what does the man mean?5. m: i knew the names of all the football players and the dates of all the games in my high schooldays. but recently i have failed to keep up with football. w: now you are busy with your golf games.q: what do you know about the man from the conversation?unit 2 food and drinks part alistening strategylistening between the linespeople do not always say directly what they mean. very often, we have to listen between the lines. the english languageoffers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. to find out what a speaker really means, we canrely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. for example, if someone says i have an essay to write in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. and if someone says andrew passed with flying colors in reply to an inquiry about how andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom to pass with flying colors that andrew did very well on the test. often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. for example, he is very clever said with an ironic tone means just the opposite. you are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.listen carefully and write down yes or no to each of the following questions. 1. m: have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate? w: yes, many times.whenever my friends come to visit me, ill take them there to eat. 2. w: is there something wrong, sir?m: my wife and i have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal. 3. w: where is the cake i made this morning?m: we ate it, mom. can you make another one for us?4. w: i hear you like chicken very much.m: next to beef.5. m: have you tried this wine before?w: no, never. its my first time, but its really to my taste. 6. w: john, do you want a soda? m: soda? i think it tastes like medicine. 7. w: why, the fish is left almost untouched. m: well, it would be good if it were less salty. 8. m: hi, sue, would you like to eat out tonight?w: oh, id really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..[ti:unit 2 part b] listening tasks a conversationwhat about dining out?exercise 1listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. peter: hi, kate.kate: hi, peter. how have you been? peter: oh, ok, i guess. and you?kate: not too bad. we havent seen each other for a while, have we?peter: no, we havent. so that makes me ask. do you have any plan for this saturday? kate: no, not yet, i dont think so. why?peter: what do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend? kate: that would be great. do you have any particular place in mind?peter: well, i think id like to eat something thats not too heavy. ive been eating a little too much lately.kate: me too.peter: i love italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. they always seem to serve somuch food in italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.kate: chinese food would be good.peter: yes, or maybe some japanese sushi. that style uses alot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.kate: yes, either of those choices would be good. lets just meet on saturday night, and decide then where to eat.peter: thats fine by me.speaking tasks pair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1(at the school canteen) a: what a crowd!a: thats true. im starving and i cant wait. id rather not stand in a long line. b: why dont we have some fried noodles?a: noodles are sold at no. 2 box. no queue there, you see. b: thats great. (at no. 2 box) counter hand: what can i get you? a: one plate of fried noodles, please. b: make it two.counter hand: ok. two plates of fried noodles. anything else? a: how much is the tomato soup? counter hand: its free. it goes with the noodles. a: i see. (to b) do you want any soup? b: yes. a: (to counter hand) two bowls of soup, please. conversation 2 (at a fast food restaurant)counter hand: what can i do for you?customer: ill have one order of chicken nuggets and a chicken sandwich. counter hand: anything to drink? customer: a small sprite. no ice, please. counter hand: okay. for here or to go? customer: for here. conversation 3(at a chinese restaurant)waiter: are you ready to order?a: do you have any recommendations?waiter: yes. the sichuan style crispy whole fish is very good.its todays special.a: mary, would you like to try that? i hear its very good.b: why not? and id like shrimp in black bean sauce, too. its my favorite. waiter: okay. anything else?a: what about some vegetables, mary? b: yes. how about spinach? a: spinach is fine with me. waiter: anything to drink? a: yes. id like one bud light, please. whatll you have, mary? b: orange juice, please. waiter: one bud light and one orange juice. is that right? a: right.now make similar conversations according to the given situations. use the structures and expressions above in your conversations where appropriate[ti:unit 2 part c]test your listeninglisten to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. a: well, here we are, not too crowded.b: great! lets order quickly so we can chat a little. a: ok. what are you in the mood for?b: something light. i had a huge breakfast and im still full. a: there are three salads. or you could have soup and a sandwich. b: what are you having? a hamburger, i suppose.a: no, actually i ate out last night. we had pizza at pizza hut, then a late snack at kentucky fried chicken.b: oh, dear. well, maybe you should have a salad.a: yes, i think so. look, the daily special is spaghetti. that sounds good. b: oh, the prices are great too. ill have that as well. a: now lets decide on drinks.b: ill just have coffee and a glass of iced water. a: italian food needs red wine, you know. b: but we have to go back to work. a: ok, a coke for me then.b: here comes the waitress. let me order first. questions1. what is the relationship between the two speakers?2. where does the conversation take place?3. what will they order?unit 3 weather part alistening strategylistening for important detailsbesides understanding the main idea of a listening text, we often find it necessary to grasp the important details as well. what counts as important details depends on the kind of information we want. generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. in listening to a weather report, on the other hand, the important details we should watch out for are the current weather conditions, temperature, and weather outlook. youre going to hear two short passages about weather. while listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in note form.then complete the exercises in your book.1. the weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in southern and central areas of britain. a pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. there will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees celsius, 64 degrees fahrenheit. look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. a storm in changchun, capital of northeast chinas jilin province, claimed four lives on sunday. the storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m. the winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.[ti:unit 3 part b] listening tasks a conversationdid you hear the forecast?exercise 1listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. alan: oh, look at the sky, michelle! its starting to get cloudy.michelle: i see it. i hope it doesnt rain. i thought it was going to be a fine day today.alan: thats certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.michelle: you cant have a picnic without good weather. you need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment. alan: yeah, sunshine — but not too much! do you remember last year?。

Unit3Section One Tactics for ListeningPart2 Listening and Note-takingA TerritoryWhen we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, peopleautomatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us. Exercise A:1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space.2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country.3. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house.4. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space.5. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between.section two listening comprehensionpart 1 DialoguesDialogue I Credit Card—I recently touring around America found there was a chap I was with ... He ... we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not let him go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy, {right, right}. In other words we've got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look ... (That's right, it doesn't matter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card —Because you know you can't rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you can't rent without, without using a credit card, you can't, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel ...—I think that what's underneath that is the society in which you're only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerised, (Yeah.) and can trace you, and everybody's insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and ... that side of credit I find rather upsetting.— It's kind of ugly, isn't it— Like a lot of people ,it's a great facility, if you're disciplined with it.2. D3. CDialogue 2 Card Insurances— I'll tell you about one awful experience that happened to me, erm, I took out, erm ... one of these card insurances that cover all your cards (Mm.) should your cards be stolen and I had my handbag snatched* in a store and immediately got the store security, who were very quick, got me into their office and we phoned all of the credit cards that I had on me, within ten minutes.— Which is what they tell you to do—Yeah. When, I suppose by the time we’d got to all of them it about half an after the bag had been snatched. Got up to the top floor of the office, started ringing round, and the whole thing was done within half an hour. Erm, when the bag was snatched it went through apparently a chain of people, out of the store, and it went two miles away and they managed to ... three different people had spent over £2,000 on four of my cards ...—But you're only liable* for the first 50.—I wasn't liable for any of it. Because thank goodness I had this insurance.—None of it. Yeah.—But ...—Touch wood* quick. That was ...—.. They'd spent it within twenty minutes of stealing.—That's incredible, isn't it—And the thing that absolutely horrified me was I was close to limits on two of the cards, the ones that I do clear every month (Mm – mm.)I was close to the limit I'm allowed on those, and they, both of those cards they went into banks, said they were me, and got (No!) well over what the top limit would have been.—Really! Well it just goes to show, you could walk into a bank and get more than you could possibly ever pay off*!—I couldn't probably, because I go in, and they say, "No, you've spent it all already—Right, right.1. F2. F 3, F 4. T 5. T 6. T 7. FPassage 1 Credit CardsThe system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place.Cards can be presented at any place where the bank card sign is displayed, and that could be at a shop, a service station, a hotel, a restaurant or in fact at all kinds of businesses.The sales assistant imprints the card details onto a sales voucher* which the customer signs, and the card is then returned to the customer. Each month the bank sends the holder a credit card statement setting out where purchases were made and totalling what is owing. A payment has tobe made within 25 days of the date of the statement, but not necessarily the full amount. If the customer pays in full within this time the use of the card does not cost anything, But if he decides to pay only the minimum repayment shown on the statement –£5 or 5% of the outstanding* balance*, which- ever is the greater -- he automatically chooses to use the system's extended repayment facility. The remaining balance is then carried forward and attracts interest at the rate of % per month.Bank credit cards are more versatile than store credit accounts in that they also enable people to obtain cash .Any bank displaying the bank card sign will arrange a cash advance* for a card holder, whether or not be is one of their own customers. For money drawn in this way the bank makes a charge at the rate of 2 25% a month calculated. cash advances appear on the monthly bank card statement.The bank credit card system operates entirely separately from cheque accounts but nevertheless it is a customer's previous relationship with his bank that is used as a guide to the amount of credit he will be extended. When a card is issued a personal credit limit is imposed indicating the maximum that can be owing at any one time. This is confidential* between customer and bank and does not appear on the card.Exercise A:The system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place. Bank credit cards can be presented at any place where the bank card sign is displayed and in fact at all kinds of businesses. Bank credit cards also enable people to obtain cash.Exercise B:1. A2. C3.

Each month the bank sends the holder a credit card statement setting out where purchases were made and totalling what is owing,3. The customer can pay in full within 25 days of the date of the statement or he can pay only the minimum repayment shown on the statement4. Because they also enable people to obtain cash.5. When a card is issued a personal credit limit is imposed indicating the maximum that can be owing at any one time.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1Thousands of public workers have begun to demonstrate violently against a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers Wednesday. Demonstrators clashed with riot police in front of Congress after the chamber of deputies approved the measure. Brazilian media reports say at least 60 people were injured. Some demonstrators said the president had betrayed them by seeking approval of the measure in Congress. The measure is designed to cut retirement assistance, raise the retirement age of public workers and tax their retirement money. The government says the changes are necessary to save the government thousands of millions of dollars.Exercise A:This news item is about public workers' reaction to a retirement reformplan passed by Brazilian lawmakers.Exercise B:Thousands of public workers have begun to demonstrate violently against a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers Wednesday.

The measure is designed to cut retirement assistance, raise the retirement age of public workers and tax their retirement money.News Item 2According to a report to Congress, more than million students endure sexual misconduct* by employees at their schools, from inappropriate jokes all the way to forced sex.The best estimate available shows nearly one in l0 kids faces misbehaviour ranging from unprofessional to criminal sometime between kindergarten and 12th grade.The report, delivered to Congress on Wednesday, is the first to analyze research about sexual misconduct at schools.Some educators took issue with the way the report combines sexual abuse with other behaviours such as inappropriate jokes, in one broad category of sexual misconduct.Exercise A:This news item is about prevalent sexual misconduct endured by students according to a report to Congress.Exercise B:2. D3. C4. ASection three oral workSection Four Supplementary ExercisesParent-Teacher Associations6 million people in the United States belong to parent-teacher associations*, or PTA. PTA's work is to help schools and students in theircommunities.Members give their time to serve on committees. They plan school projects and special activities, such as sales and other events to assist schools. Members also serve as activists for children's issues* before government agencies and other organizations. There are national, state and local PTA organizations. PTA groups exist in the 50 American states and the District of Columbia. The PTA also operates in the United States Virgin Islands and in Department of Defense schools in the Pacific and Europe. These are schools for children of American military families. Three women are responsible for establishing the Parent-Teacher Association. Two of them, Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst, established the Congress of Mothers in 1897. Both women lived in Washington, D.C.Alice Birney proposed the plan for the group in 1895. Two years later, she met Phoebe Hears who provided the money to start the organization. Later, fathers, educators and other interested citizens joined the group. It then changed its name to the National Congress of Parent-Teacher Associations.Selena Sloan Butler is considered the third founder of the PTA. She established and served as the first president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers. In 1970, the congress united with the National PTA.The National PTA provides members with, among other things, information online about educational issues. It publishes a free newsletter called "This Week in Washington" on its website. It tells about developments that affect education.There are critics of the National PTA. In a recent book, educationresearcher Charlene Haar says the positions of the group mainly serve the interests of teachers unions. PTA spokeswoman Jenni Sopko says the group speaks for parents, students and teachers, and is not influenced by the unions. She also notes that other countries have used the PTA in the United States as an example to develop their own parent-teacher associations. Exercise A:1. It stands for parent-teacher associations.2. Its work is to help schools and students in their communities.3. Six million people in the United States belong to parent-teacher associations.4. She established and served as the first president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers.5. The National PTA can provide its members with information online about educational issues.Exercise B:1. The plan to establish PTA group was proposed in 1895 by Alice Birney. Two years later, she met Phoebe Hearst who provided the money to start the organization. Later, fathers, educators and other interested citizens joined the group.2. Members of PTA's should give their time to serve on committees. They plan school projects and special activities. Members also serve as activists for children's issues before government agencies and other organizations.3. PTA groups exist in the50American states and the District of Columbia. The PTA also operates in Department of Defense schools in the pacific and Europe. These are schools for children of American military families.4. The Nation PTA publishes a free newsletter called "This Week in Washington" on its website. It tells about developments that affect education.5. There are critics of the National PTA. An education researcher Charlene Haar says the positions of the group mainly serve the interests of teachers unions.Exercise C:Your opinionDirections: Listen to the passage again and give your opinion on the following topics."PTA's work is to help schools and students in their communities."1. Is it necessary for schools in China to have PTA2. What roles can PTA play at schools in China3. If your parent is selected as the member of PTA. will you support him/herPassage 2 Your Legal Rights at the SalesJust who is doing the favour for whom in the sales Are the shops really giving us shoppers a chance to buy bargains Or are we just helping them to clear their shelves twice a year to make way for new lines* -- buying up* the rubbish they would otherwise throw away In most sales there is a bit of both. Some bargains are more genuine than others. Some price claims are true, while others are misleading or plain false.If the sale notice says "Coats -- reduced from £30 to £10” it should ,by law ,be true.The rules are that, unless a shop says otherwise, the coats must have been on sale at the higher price for at least 28 consecutive daysin the previous six months. They can, however, get around it by saying "Last week £30. Now £10."Be a bit suspicious about a ticket which just says "Sale price £5.' It may mean the goods are specially bought in for the sale and does not necessarily indicate any reduction.And there is nothing to prevent the shopkeeper boasting: "Worth £50, only £20' or even "Normally£300, only £150."Another practice which is frowned upon, though not illegal, is an imprecise offer, like "Up to £l0 off latest models." It gives no clear idea of how much you have to spend or exactly what you have to buy to benefit.If you see a price claim you do not believe or feel to be misleading, you can complain to the local Trading Standards Office -- the town hall will put you in touch.If you see a notice saying "No refunds on sales goods," ignore it, but don't forget it. It is illegal for shops to say this and you should report it to the Trading Standards Officer. He can order the signs to be removed.Sale or no sale, nothing can remove your right to your money back if the goods are faulty. If on the other hand, you just change your mind about something you buy in the sale the shop does not have to give you anything back.Goods labelled "seconds" have their own peculiar problems. You cannot expect something described as "seconds" to be perfect in every way, but the shop has no right to sell you anything that is not fit for the purpose for which it was made.A "slightly imperfect" kettle should still boil water and youcan demand your money back if it doesn't. So take your spectacles with you and never be afraid to ask what is substandard about the thing you are about to buy.Exercise A:You have the right to know the true price. You have the right to know the quality of goods. Sale or no sale, nothing can remove your right to your money back if the goods are faulty.Exercise B:2. D3. C4. A5. A6. D7. C8. B Exercise C:1.
