Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that. Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride.

Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train rig ht away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome.

From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as f ar as Fremont, it costs a lot more. Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is? Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley? Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance! Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that.Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth. Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take? Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right? Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one s top on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station.Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change tr ains. Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it?Denise: It’s 8:15.Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after8:04.Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch?Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house.Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train righ t away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46. Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll h ave no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring.Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming!

Unit 1Section Conversational SkillsDirections: Listen to a lecture on how to be a good conversationalist. Make notes to complete the outline below.Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about occupations, locations and relationships between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.l. W: Did you go to the lecture given byAlan Shepherd from NASA yesterday?M:Yes. And I was very interested in it. 1 hope that someday I can travel to the outer space myself.Q; Who is Alan Shepherd according to the conversation?2. M: I keep hearing the name Lucky Bumper. He sounds like a terrible person. Who ishe?W; He isn't a real person. There is a TV show called "All in the Family". Lucky Bumper is the father.Q: Who is Lucky Bumper?3. M: Don't worry about the meter ma'am. It's broken. I'll charge you a flat two dollars for the ride.W: If the traffic is this every day, it's worth twice as much.Q: What is the man's profession?4. W: I'm glad you could come today. The drain became stopped up yesterday afternoon.M: Don't worry. I'll have it open for you in no time.W: What is die man?5.W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m., please?M; I'll try, Mam, but on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at midnight.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?6. M: Before Sam built his house, he was living on a boat; and then in a tent.W: Don't forget that just before he moved in, he stayed at the hotel.Q: Where did Sam live first?7. M; Mrs. Smith, the heating in our apartment is broken again- It's freezing up here. W: I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Reed. I'll get someone to fix it right away.M: We pay our rent on time every month, but there is always something wrong with the apartment.W: I'm sorry you've been disturbed. I'll try to change new heaters for you this time. Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?8. M: Well, we need some temporary labor in our packing department. Just for a shorttime; but the job will be rather monotonous.Unit 2Section Q American EtiquetteDirections:Listen to a talk on American etiquette on certain social occasions. At the end of the talk, there will be three questions. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given for each question.In general, it's polite to say "Congratulations!" (with a lot of enthusiasm) whena person has accomplished something- Examples of these kinds of occasions include graduation, Job promotion, the birth of a child, and the purchase of a home. When congratulations are in order, it is sometimes also appropriate to give a gift, especially when invited to a birthday, graduation, wedding, or anniversary party.An invitation may say RSVP on the bottom, an abbreviation that refers to a French expression meaning "respond, please". If the invitation says, "RSVP regrets only," respond by mail or by phone only if you cannot come.Equal attention must be given to good manners on sad occasions. If a coworker, classmate, or neighbor experiences a death in the family, it is appropriate to express sympathy. In doing so, the words die or death should be avoided. It is best to simply say, "1 was so sorry to hear about your loss." It's also customary to send a sympathy card, but if you don't know the mourner's religion, be sure to select a card without religious symbols. Most customs regarding mourning relate to the family's religion and vary from one group to another, so don't send flowers or food unless you know it's appropriate.The simple words "I'm sorry" display good manners in a great many difficult social situations. "I'm sorry" has two main uses: (1) to express sympathy to someone who has had a bad experience; (2) to express regret for bothering someone or causing a problem. Other expressions of apology are "Excuse me" and "Pardon me". Use one of these expressions when you are trying to get out of a crowded elevator or stopping a stranger to ask directions.Question 1: According to the talk, on what occasions is it especially appropriate to give a gift?Question 2: When you receive an invitation which says RSVP, what are you expected to do?Question 3: Which of the following behaviors is appropriate for you when you hear your friend experiences a death?Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about offer and request between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.1. M: Would you care for a biscuit?W: Not just at the moment, thank you. I'd rather have another piece of cake if I may.Q: What does the woman want now?2. W: How annoying! I can't figure out a solution to this problem. Can you helpme?M: Well, I'm afraid I can't at the moment.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: What can I do for you, gentleman? Maybe you like this suit, because the colormatches your skin and it is the latest fashion.M: Yes, it's really a good suit and it's of good color. But I Just walk around and watch. Thank you just the same.Q: What did the man accept?4. W: Your garden is too dry, and it needs water. Let me give you a hand to waterthe flower first.M: The garden is dry and I'm drier, would you fetch me some water please?Q: What did the man offer?5. M: The room is too stuffy, let me turn on the ventilator for you and air the room. W: Yes, it's too smoky here and I can hardly breathe.Q: If the woman accepts the man's offer, what will the man do?6. M: What's the matter?W; I have heard some strange engine noise when I'm driving 30 miles per hour.M: Why don't you call the Car Talk program provided by the radio station? They can help you.Q: What is Car Talk about according to this conversation?7. W: The bus is so crowded, jammed like sardines. Oh, my God'M: But can I offer you my seat? I'm getting off here.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?8. W: Let me get you some soft drinks, what would you like to have, Coca-Cola orsoda?M: It makes no difference actually, but I'd like to have the latter if you don't mind.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?9. M: There will be a cold spell tomorrow. The news was too bad. It spoils all ourholiday plan.W: Just cheer up! We might as well do something to make it up by touring the downtown part,Q: What did the woman suggest?10. M: May I help you madam? The skirt matches your blouse all right.

(Telephone rings)Jim: Hello.Marty: Hi. It’s Marty. How are you? We missed you at the game today. Jim: Yeah. I’ve been in bed for a couple of days.Marty: Oh gee. What’s wrong?Jim: Oh, I’m just a little under the weather, I guess. My nose is topped up and I’ve just felt crummy.Marty: Yeah, everybody seems to have something that’s going around. Have you seen a doctor?Jim: No. I just got some non-prescription nasal spray at the drugstore and I’m drinking plenty of fluids. One more day of rest and I’m sure I’ll be ba ck to work. I had chills the first day and my stomach was upset, but now it’s really only my nose.Marty: Well that’s good. Listen, I won’t keep you any longer. I’m sure you’ll want to rest. Do you think you’ll be going to the game on Wednesday?Jim: Oh, I’m sure. I’ll be fine by then.Marty: Great. Well, take care. I’ll see you on Wednesday.Jim: Yeah. Thanks for calling.Marty: Bye.2. Doctor: O. K., Mike. You said it’s around your stomach. Please take off your shirt.Mike: O.K…. The rash is all over my right leg, too, Doctor.Doctor: I’ll look at that in just a minute. Have you been out in t he woods lately?Mike: Yes. I went for a hike in the country on Saturday.Doctor: Uh-huh; and when did you first notice the rash?Mike: On Monday. At first I thought it was very uncomfortable. I washed it with antiseptic soap, but that didn’t’ seem to help, and by Tuesday, it started to itch and burn.Doctor: Did you notice if you had a fever or not?Mike: I didn’t take my temperature, but aside from the itching, I feel fine. Doctor: And, any difficulty breathing?Mike: No.Doctor: Sore throat or runny nose?Mike: No.Doctor: O.K. I think you’re going to be fine. I’m going to prescribe some cream that will help with the rash.Mike: Thanks, doctor.Doctor: And make sure to thoroughly wash all clothing that you were wearing during your hike last Saturday.3.

Ooh…Ow…Oh! Where’s the Fizz-Away? It’s burning.Mindy: Oh, Lou. This can’t go on!Lou: Look, it was probably just the fried chicken at dinner.Mindy: Here, take this. Now, I’m not taking no for an answer. You’re going to the doctor tomorrow and that’s final! Fried chicken! How come I don’t have any pain?

Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.First StoryMy husband and I met in high school. During our senior year, we studies biology together. We talked and laughed a lot during class. One Friday, we Joked that we should go on a date that night. At first, I didn't know if he was serious. He didn't know if I was joking. That night I put on a new dress and waited. He had a more difficult time. He had to knock on the door without knowing if I would be ready or not. But he knocked, and I was ready! That was our first date. This year, we celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary'Second StoryMy husband and I met one day at an airport. It was Christmas day. I was picking up my friend Bernd. He was coming from Germany to spend the holidays with my family. While we were waiting for his luggage, I heard a man speaking in Italian. I decided to say something to him because I speak Italian.I said, "Buon Natale" which means, "Merry Christmas!" When I spoke in Italian, he said, "Mama mia! Why do you speak Italian? Who are you?" He asked me for my phone number. He called me the next day, and we dated for a year. Then we got married. So be careful who you talk to in the airport!Third StoryMy wife and I met through our parents. Our parents arranged our marriage. Before we got married, my wife and I wanted to meet. Our parents arranged our first meeting in a restaurant. That night, we talked about ourselves and what we wanted in our lives. We talked for hours. We shared our hopes and dreams. After a while, we decided that our parents were right! And we got married.Fourth StoryMy wife and 1 met through a matchmaker. I'm an engineer, and in my field, most people are men. I couldn't meet any women at work. So one day I saw an advertisement for a matchmaking service, and I decided to call. The matchmaker introduced me to many nice women. I enjoyed meeting them, but I didn't meet anyone I wanted to marry. Finally, she introduced me to my wife. I decided not to date any other women because I liked her very much. We enjoyed the same things, and we laughed a lot together. We also had the same goals and values in life. My wife and I were married six years ago, and now we have two children. I'm glad I picked up the phone and called that matchmaker!Among married couples in the U.S., one finds a wide range of living patterns. Some older couples still have traditional marriages, with the man as breadwinner and the woman as homemaker. But most younger women today are not content to be full-time homemakers. The women's liberation movement, which swept the country in the 1960s, changed attitudes and behavior forever. Today's young American woman wants marriage, but she also wants her own identity. She wants what men have always had—a marriage that is important but still allows time to pursue individual goals. The maJority of American wives, even those with children, work outside the home- As a result, the older idea that housework, cooking, and child care are "women's work" is being discarded. In the contemporary American marriage, the husband and wife share both financial and domestic responsibilities.Sharing money-making and housekeeping responsibilities provides a better life for the family. Of course, problems can develop in the two-income family if the husband expects his working wife to be the perfect homemaker that his stay-at-home mother was- Also, there may be arguments if the wife expects her husband to help with household chores, but he is unwilling to do so. In most families, the working wife probably still handles the largest share of the housework, cooking, and child care. but she gets some help from her husband.The contemporary American marriage is also characterized by a relationship of equality and shared decision making. Most American women today will not tolerate a husband who considers himself the boss. The American girl is given freedom and education equal to a boy's. After completing her education, she is able to get a job and support herself. She does not need to marry for financial security. She is self-sufficient and will not accept a submissive role in marriage. When husband and wife are able to share decision making and respect each other's viewpoints, their marriage is probably closer than those of past generations. When they battle for dominance, they're likely to end up in divorce court.“Ring out the old, ring in the new,” wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the nineteenth-century English poet. And that's exactly what Americans do every December 31. New Year's Eve is a time for noise and fun- At home or in restaurants, most Americans drink and dine with friends- At midnight on New Year's Eve, bells ring, horns blow, and friends toast each other with champagne. It's also customary to exchange kisses. New Year's Eve festivities often continue until two or three o'clock in the morning. Many people travel from one party to another to celebrate with several different groups of friends The country's most crowded New Year's Eve celebration takes place in New York City's Times Square. Since 1907, the famous ball-lowering ceremony has been a holiday highlight. To celebrate the arrival of the year 2000, an estimated 2 million people crowded into Times Square, and hundreds of million viewed the scene on TV The huge, 1,070-pound lighted crystal ball began its descent from a 77-foot flagpole at 11:59 p.m. and reached the bottom at exactly midnight. Simultaneously, confetti, balloons, and fireworks brightened the night sky. It was the biggest public event ever held in the city.What do Americans do on New Year's Day? Many sleep late because they stayed up all night long. Many watch TV which offers spectacular parades and football games between champion college teams. From ancient times to the present. New Year's customs have been connected with saying good-bye to the past and looking forward to a better future. Therefore, New Year's Day often inspires people to start new programs and give up bad habits. Some people make New Year's resolutions. People talk about "turning over a new leaf", referring to a clean, blank page or a fresh start. Typical New Year's resolutions are to spend less money, give up smoking, begin a diet, or be nicer to others. It's safe to assume that about half of them are forgotten by January 31'It was a cool autumn evening. Mrs. Brown was sitting in her living room, reading. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on her door, then two or three more knocks. Mrs. Brown put the safety chain on her door. Then she opened the door a little and looked out. There stood three children wearing masks and costumes. When they saw her, they all shouted, "Trick or treat! Money or eats!"Mrs, Brown dropped a candy bar into each child's bag."Thanks for the candy," shouted the children as they ran off to ring another doorbell-"You're welcome," said Mrs. Brown. "Have fun, and don't play any pranks."Every year on October 31. Halloween scenes like this occur throughout the USA. American children love to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. If an adult refuses to supply a treat—candy, cookies, fruit, or money— the children may play a trick. Typical Halloween pranks are soaping windows, writing on doors with crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep them ringing, throwing raw eggs, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends.Halloween is celebrated by nearly all American children, and over 70% of adults also participate in some Halloween activity. College students and other young adults may attend masquerade parties or Halloween parades. Many families carve pumpkins and decorate the outside of their homes with the traditional Halloween symbols. Businesses get into the act, too. Store windows display jack-o'-lanterns, scarecrows, and witches. Servers in restaurants and salespeople in supermarkets and bookstores are often in costume. Many nightclubs and bars encourage customers to come in costume by offering prizes for the best disguisesUINT 4 PART 31.
