Unit 4 Law and orderReadingThe rules of lawHave you ever wondered when and where the law originated? Around 12,000 years ago in the Middle East, small permanent farming communities were established,changing traditional nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Different groups were closely living together and dealing with unfamiliar behaviours, beliefs and attitudes. To prevent chaos and resolve conflicts, the rules of conduct and consequences for unacceptable behaviours were created. Hence, the concept of law was born.Many ancient civilizations arose in the Middle East, so it is not surprising that law codes first appeared there. The oldest discovered, the Code of Ur-Nammu, dates back to about 4,000 years ago. The code presented laws in the cause-and-effect format, a style used in nearly all later codes. Another one discovered, the Code of Hammurabi, was composed around 300 years later, which is one of the longest, best-organized and best-preserved legal texts. This code was among the first to implement the concept “innocent until proven guilty”. Both codes have features in common. For instance, they treated a variety of matters,but often ignored some important rules, because such rules were deeply grounded in custom.Over time, laws evolve to become more sophisticated and wide-ranging. Societies constantly transform, so legal systems respond accordingly and ensure laws remain relevant. This response happens in various ways. Outdated laws are abolished when they no longer correspond with the values or moral beliefs of the current society. The most famous example is the abolition of slavery laws in certain countries during the 19th century. Current laws are amended when aspects of a crime change, such as becoming more serious or producing additional crime-related behaviour. In Australia, a law amendment makes workplace bullying amount to a criminal offence. Besides, new laws are made as new situations develop such as those created by advances in technology or changes in societal attitudes. For instance, the advent of the Internet and social media has led to easier exchanges of information, and in turn has provided unauthorized access to personal data, so it is necessary to adopt a new law to strengthen the protection of online users’ private inform ation.Evolving laws may represent a progressive society, but legal systems tend to remain relatively stable. Notably, global legal systems fall into categories that share similarities, and two main categories are civil law and common law. In the civil law system,laws are created by the country’s legislature. Many European countries adopt this legal system. In the common law system, some laws are created by the legislature, but most are based on published court decisions from previous court cases, which are then implemented in future similar situations. The Unites States, the United Kingdomand Australia are examples of the common law system.The law plays an essential part in resolving conflicts, settling disputes and making rules that everyone must follow, yet it has limitations. As the law is not applicable to all situations, it is just one instrument to regulate society. Governments usually employ other methods of social control to help society operate in a smooth and integrated fashion. Moreover, the law is not always ready or able to adapt to the constant changes in the society it serves. Because of its relative stability, it is unreasonable for the law to solve every newly emerging problem.The law is more than just a set of rules as you have probably realized. It helps maintain security and stability in society, and its stable structure assists our societies to reach their full potential. The law is the compass that has guided humans from the first law-abiding communities to where we are today. As it continues to lead us into the future, the law will hopefully help us develop societies that are not just more harmonious but also more civilized.Extended readingThe Red-Headed League(Excerpt)Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish writer, whose best-known fictional character is the private detective Sherlock Holmes. The detective has the habit of paying attention to the smallest and seemingly insignificant details, which inevitably leads to him solving many mysterious crimes. “The R ed-Headed League”, narrated by Holmes’s friend, Dr Watson, tells the tale of a man with red hair who joins a club for red-headed men and thus unknowingly helps a crime take place.“You see, Watson,” he explained in the early hours of the morning as we sat over a glass of whisky and soda in Baker Street, “it was perfectly obvious from the first that the only possible object of this rather fantastic business of the advertisement of the Red-Headed League, and the copying of the Encyclopaedia, must be to get Wilson, this not over-bright pawnbroker, out of the way for a number of hours every day. It was a curious way of managing it, but, really, it would be difficult to suggest a better way. The criminal Clay’s clever plan was most certainly inspired by the colo ur of his accomplice’s hair. The four pounds a week was used to attract him, and what was it to them, who were playing for thousands? They put in the advertisement; one criminal has the temporary office and the other one convinces the man to apply for it. Together they manage to secure his absence every morning in the week. From the time that I heard of the assistant having come for half wages, it was obvious to me that he had some strong motive for securing the situation.”“But how could you guess what the motive was?”“The man’s business was a small one, and there was nothing in his house which could account for such careful preparations and such expenses. It must, then, be something out of the house. What could it be? I thought of the assistant’s fondne ss for photography, and his trick of vanishing into the cellar. Then I made inquiries as to this mysterious assistant and found that I had to deal with one of the coolest and most daring criminals in London. He was doing something in the cellar— something which took many hours a day for months on end. What could it be, once more? I could think of nothing except that he was digging a tunnel to some other building.“So far I had got when we went to visit the scene of action. I surprised you by beating upon the pavement with my stick. I was establishing whether the cellar stretched out in front or behind. It was not in front. Then I rang the bell, and, as I hoped, the assistant answered it. I hardly looked at his face.His knees were what I wished to see.You must yourself have noticed how worn,wrinkled and stained they were. They were evidence of those hours of digging. The only remaining point was what they were digging for. I walked round the corner, saw a bank connected to our friend’s property, and felt that I had solved my problem. When you drove home after the concert, I called upon Scotland Yard and the chairman of the bank directors, with the result that you have seen.”“And how could you tell that they would make their attempt tonight?” I asked.“Well, when they closed their League offices, that was a sign that they cared no longer about Mr Wilson’s presence—in other words, that they had completed their tunnel. But it was essential that they should use it soon, as it might be discovered, or the gold might be removed. Saturday would suit them better than any other day, as it would give them two days for their escape. For all these reasons I expected them to come tonight.”“You reasoned it out beautifully,” I exclaimed in genuine admiration. “It is so lon g a chain, and yet every link rings true.”“It saved me from boredom,” he answered, yawning. “I already feel it closing in upon me. My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the routines of daily life. These little problems help me to do so.”“And you are a benefactor of society,” said I.He shrugged his shoulders. “Well, perhaps, after all, it is of some little use,” he remarked.。

HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEDaisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. “Where do you want to go?” it asked. Daisy responded immediately. “I’d like to see some endangered wildlife,”she said. “Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.” At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, “We’re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species.” At that Daisy cried, “I’m sorry I didn’t know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there’s some wildlife protection.”The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. “Have you come to take my photo?” it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. “Don’t laugh.”said the elephant, “We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife.”Daisy smiled. “That’s good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I’d like to help as the WWF suggests.”The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rain-forest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. “What are you doing?” asked Daisy. “I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes,” it replied. “When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rain-forest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rain-forest, no animals, no drugs.”Daisy was amazed. “Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help.”The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone-the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF…ANIMAL EXTINCTIONMany animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. The most famous of these animals are dinosaurs. They lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that time. There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live in China. The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia County, Nanyang, Henan Province. Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. When scientists inspected the bones, they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees. They learned this from the way the bones were joined together.Dinosaurs died out suddenly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more. Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappeared from the earth in such a short time.We know many other wild plants, animals, insects and birds have died out more recently. According to a UN report, some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in the last 500 years. The dodo is one of them. It lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly animal. Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the earth.。

Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries -- or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europeand the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about ￡, compared with ￡ for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring damagingsince the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belonged to frogs are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearly impossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested from the wild.Exercise A:1.Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries.2.By 1977 the French government banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians.3.Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs aredisappearing from the rice fields and wetlands.4.The United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat eachyear between 1981 and 1984.5.One of the attractions of Indian frogs was the price.Exercise B:Frog legsPeople want frogs mostly for food.

And there's a wholefood bar for refreshmentsafterwardsInterviewer: And does it cost a lot I mean, most people think health clubs are reallyexpensive.Lama: Actually our rates are really quite competitive. Since we only startedlast July, we' ve kept them down to attract customers. It's only ￡30 ayear to join. Then an hour in the gym costs ￡ -- the same as half an hour on the sunbed. Sauna and Jacuzzi are both ~ for half an hour.Interviewer: And is the club doing wellLama: Well, so far, yes, it's doing really well. I had no idea it was going to be such a success, actually. We're both very pleased. The sunbed'sso popular, especially with the over 65s, that we're getting anotherone in August.Interviewer: What kind of people join the clubLama: We have people of all ages here, from small children to old-age pensioners, though of course the majority, about three-quarters ofour members, are in their 20s and 30s. They come in their lunch hour,to use the gym, mostly, or after work, while the Youngsters come whenschool finishes, around half past three or four. The Jacuzzi's verypopular with the little ones.Interviewer: What about the old-age pensionersLoma: They're usually around in the mornings, when we offer them special reduced rates for the Jacuzzi or sauna, plus sunbed, it's only ￡2,which is half price, actually. It doesn't affect our profits really-- only about 5% of our members are retired.Dialogue 2 skiingSimon: This one shows the view from the top of the mountain.Sally: Oh, it's lovely!Teresa: That's me with the red bobble hat.Sally: Is itTeresa: Yet, it looks kind of silly, doesn't itSally: Yes, it does rather.Teresa: Oh, don't worry.

You know, sort of on top of each other.Teresa: It is!Sally: How did that happenSimon: Well, you see we were all pretty hopeless at first. Every day Werner used to take us to the nursery slope* to practise, and to get to the top youhad to go up on a ski lift.Teresa: Which wasn't really very easy.Simon: No, and if you fell off you'd start sliding down the slope, right into all the people coming up!Sally- Mmm.Simon: Well, on that day we were all going up on the ski lift, you know, we were just getting used to it, and, you see there was this one woman in ourclass who never got the hang of* it. She didn't have any sort of controlover her skis and whenever she started sliding, she would sort of stickher ski sticks out in front of her, you know, like swords or something. Teresa: I always tried to avoid her, but on that day I was right behind her on the ski lift* and just as she was getting to the top, she slipped andstarted sliding down the slope.Sally: Did she ~Simon: Mmm, with her ski sticks waving around in front of her!Teresa: So of course everyone sort of let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way.Simon: And that's how they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope -- it was lucky I had my camera with me.Sally: I bet that woman was popular!Simon oh,yes. everybody's favourite!Exercise A:1. They are looking at some pictures.2. A ski class for beginners.3. Two.Exercise B:Everyday the coach took them to a nursery slope. They got to the top on a ski lift. In their class there was one woman who could never learn how to ski. She couldn't control her skis and whenever she started sliding, she would stick her ski sticks out in front of her. People always tried to avoid her.One day as she was getting to the top, she slipped and started sliding down the slope. Everyone let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way and they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope.Passage 2 The Truth about the French!Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides state-of-the-art* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* two-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the "Paris school holiday week" which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Tree, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you're looking for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance.The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don't use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don't usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Always secure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don't carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Exercise A:Exercise B:2. A3. A4. A5. B6. C7. D8.

Beware of begging children.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1France's busiest airport will reopen part of a terminal that was not damaged when a segment of the roof collapsed in May, killing four people.The Transport Minister Gilles de Robien said a segment of the three-building 2E terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport would return to service on July 15. In the May 23 disaster, failing glass, steel and masonry* killed four travelers -- two Chinese,one Czech* and one Lebanese*. Three others were injured.A preliminary report by experts said Tuesday that a weakness in the concrete that formed the futuristic terminal's vaulted roof may have contributed to the collapse.Officials are still unsure about what exactly caused it to collapse. Exercise A:This news item is about the new information Of France Charles de Gaulle airport where a segment of the roof collapsed in May.Exercise B:News Item 2An Antonov 26 plane crashed in northwestern Congo shortly after take-off on Saturday, killing all 22 Congolese passengers and the crew.It was not known how many crew members were on the plane when it crashed near the town of Boende, more than 600 km northeast of the capital Kinshasa. The cause of the crash was unknown.A string of accidents this week has underlined the parlous* state of Democratic Republic of Congo's transport infrastructure* after five years of war and decades of misrule.More than 160 people drowned when a ferry sank during a storm on Lake Mai-Ndombe, north east of Kinshasa, on Tuesday.On Saturday, 18 people were killed or injured when a small truck experienced brake trouble and crashed near the eastern town of Goma.Exercise A:This news item is about a string of accidents this week in Congo.Exercise B:News Item 3In the United States lawyers for Raed jarrar, an airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it displayed an Arabic script, say he has been awarded a total of $240,000 in compensation.Lawyers representing Raed Jarrar say the payout* is a victory for free speech and a blow to the practice of racial profiling*. Back in 2006 Mr Jarrar was waiting to board a flight at New York's JFK airport wearing a T-shirt that read 'We Will Not Be Silent" in English and Arabic. His lawyers claim he was ordered to remove the item of clothing by staff who said other passengers felt uncomfortable with the Arabic slogan. He eventually agreed to cover the shirt and boarded the plane, but says he was made to sit at the back.Exercise A:This news item is about the practice of racial profiling in the United States. Exercise B:Raed Jarrar, an airline passenger, has recently been awarded a total of $ 240,000 in compensation.Back in 2006 Mr Jarrar was waiting to board a flight at New York’s JFK airport wearing a T-shirt that read “ We Will Not Be Silent” in English and Arabic. Later he was ordered to remove the printed words on his T-shirt by staff who said other passengers felt uncomfortable with the Arabic slogan. He eventually agreed to cover the shirt and boarded the plane, but he was made to sit at the back.Lawyers representing Raed Jarrar say the payout is a victory for free speech and a blow to the practice of racial profilingSeetion three oral workRetellingThere is a street called "The Strand" in Galveston, where hundreds of thousands of touristsvisit today. This street was Mama's stomping* ground as a kid. Before Mama died,we took a streetcar around Galveston to see all the lovely, restored homes. Whata great day. She knew morethan the tour guide. As we sat enjoying the sights, Mama said, "Liz, do you know why my nose is a little crooked*" (I thought, "Where did that come from") "No, Mama, you haven't ever mentioned it," I replied."Well," said mother, "one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcar ran overme. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in the groundso hard, I broke mynose! It sure caused a lot of chaos*. People screamed, the police came, and I just crawled out,brushed myself off and went home. The only thing 1 ever noticed different aboutme was a crookedI just looked at her nose and looked at Mama in utter disbelief!Section Four Supplementary ExercisesBabies and IntelligenceSome people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learningon their first day of life.Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Development note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learnsto get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other humans. This abilityto learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.The Finnish researchers used devices to measures the babies' brain activity. The researchersplayed recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while the babies slept.The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleep becausethe part of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remains active at night. The cortex is very important for learning. This part of the brain is not activein adults while they sleep.Many experts say the first years of a child's life are important for all later development. AnAmerican study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. The study involved more than 1,200 mothers and children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their children four times during this period.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generally are more intelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of a child at seven years of age is directly linked to his or her weight at birth. Study organizers say this is probably because heavier babies received more nutrition* during important periods of brain development before they were born.The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City used traditional tests to measure intelligence. Brothers and sisters were tested so that the effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet or other considerations.The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally did better on the intelligence tests. Also, the link between birth weight and intelligence later in life was stronger for boys than for girls.Exercise A:1. Some people thought babies were able to learn things when they were five or six months old.2. Doctors think babies begin learning things on their first day of life.3. Babies communicate with other people by smiling.4. They can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were stilldeveloping inside their mothers.5. Babies can learn while asleep.6. They are important for a child's all later development.Exercise:BExercise C:Your opinionDirections: Listen to the passage again and give your opinion on the following topics,"Many experts say the first years of a child's life are important for all later development."1. What should mothers do in the first year of a child's life2. What might affect a child if his parents get divorced in his first year oflifeFatigueFatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy.Fatigue is different from drowsiness. In general, drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep, while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens) can be symptoms of fatigue.Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical exertion, emotional stress, boredom, or lack of sleep. However, it can also be a nonspecific sign of a more serious psychological or , physical disorder. Fatigue that is not relieved by enough sleep, good nutrition, or a low-stress environment should be evaluated by your doctor. Because fatigue is a common complaint, sometimes a potentially serious cause may be overlooked.The pattern of fatigue may help your doctor determine its underlying cause. For example, if you wake up in the morning rested but rapidly develop fatigue with activity, you may have an ongoing pysical condition like an underactive thyroid*. On the other hand, if you wake up with a low level of energy and have fatigue that lasts throughout the day, you may be depressed.Here are some tips for reducing fatigue:Get adequate, regular, and consistent amounts of sleep each night.Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day.Exercise regularly.Learn better ways to relax. Try yoga* or meditation*.Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule.Change your stressful circumstances, if possible. For example, switch jobs, take a vacation, and deal directly with problems in a relationship.Take a multivitamin. Talk to your doctor about what you need and what is best for you.Avoid alcohol, nicotine*, and drag use.If you have chronic* pain or depression, treating either often helps address the fatigue. However, some antidepressant* medications may cause or worsen fatigue. Your medication may have to be adjusted to avoid this problem. Do not stop or change any medications without instruction from your doctor.Stimulants* (including caffeine) are not effective treatments for fatigue, and can actually make the problem worse when the drugs are discontinued. Sedatives* also tend to intensify fatigue in the long run.Exercise A:Fatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy. Fatigue isdifferent from drowsiness.

人教版高一必修二英语unit 4听力材料In the listening material of Unit 4 in the People's Education Press Grade One Required English Book, we are introduced to a conversation between two friends, Jane and Peter, discussing their plans for the upcoming weekend. Jane suggests going to the cinema to watch a new movie, but Peter prefers to go hiking in the mountains. They eventually decide to compromise and do both activities over the weekend.The conversation between Jane and Peter highlights the importance of communication and compromise in maintaining healthy relationships. It is essential to listen to each other's preferences and find a middle ground that satisfies both parties. By considering each other's interests and being willing to make concessions, conflicts can be avoided, and friendships can be strengthened.Furthermore, the conversation also emphasizes the value of trying new experiences and stepping out of one's comfort zone. Jane and Peter were initially hesitant about each other's suggestions but were open-minded enough to give them a try. In the end, they both enjoyed the movie and the hike, broadening their horizons and creating lasting memories together.Additionally, the dialogue showcases the significance of time management and planning. Jane and Peter had to coordinate their schedules and make arrangements to ensure they could fit both activities into their weekend. By organizing their time effectively and prioritizing their goals, they were able to make the most of their time together and maximize their enjoyment.Overall, the listening material from Unit 4 serves as a valuable lesson in communication, compromise, open-mindedness, time management, and the importance of trying new experiences.

2019北师大版教材book2unit4听力文本和课文word版

Lesson 1 avatarsThe avatar you choose says a lot about you．The article will help you understand your choice of avatars better．When you are online，you can be anyone or anything. You can create your own image and a new personality．These digital identities，known as avatars，are a key part of how people use the Internet to communicate and express themselves．The first simple 2D avatars appeared in role-playing computer games in the 1980s．Yet，very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety of forms and uses．By the late 1990s，they had been used in web chats like instant messenger．When people started creating their own avatars，they discovered that they were going to have the power to create new identities that did not look or act like their real selves at all．They could dress their avatars in fancy clothes，or they could try being someone of the opposite sex，and call themselves "Andy" instead of"Anna"! When Internet users realised that their avatars would be seen by many people，not just their friends，they started having more than one avatar：a sensible词one for work；a friendly，good-looking one for meeting people；and a silly one for having fun．Avatars let you express yourself and they give you lots of room for creativity.Of course，the avatar you choose says a lot about your personality．If your blog avatar is a picture of a cute cat，your message is "I like relaxing and having fun"．Well-known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say "I'm a really funny person"．Most people create avatars that have similar features to their personalities and that look more or less like them and act like them．However，nearly all avatars are tall，young and nice-looking，so people obviously make their avatars look better than they do in real life．They also experiment with things like different hairstyles — which says a lot，perhaps，about what they want to look like．Nowadays，avatars are everywhere．In most web chats，people choose an avatar from a selection of ready-made images，or create their own images．You can also use avatars that move around and talk when you type in your message．The avatars in online worlds can talk，walk and fly around，meet people，go shopping and attend classes．The use of avatars has also caused a few concerns．Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world．The use of several avatars can also be a risk，as people can use avatars to cheat others online．However，other users view avatars in a more positive light．They look forward to a time when their avatar will act like a real person and travel around bigger，more exciting virtual worlds．The Internet Harms FriendshipsWhile the Internet can bring people closer together，it can also harm friendships．Firstly, talking online is no replacement for face-to-face contact— images really cannot replace a real-life smile or hug．According to a parenting expert，Denise Daniels，communicating through a screen makes it more difficult for children to concentrate or show kindness to others．As we know，important social skills are develop ed through direct contact with other people．It is these skills that enable us to develop lifelong friendships．Secondly，the Internet can make people self-center ed — not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves．For example，instead of having proper conversations with their friends，some people are only concerned with their online popularity — How many "likes" did I get?How many followers do I have? — though we know that the number of "likes" or followers cannot compare to having long-term and rewarding friendships．In addition, a lot of the content post ed on social media is shallow or trivial．Posts about funny cat images do not necessarily help form meaningful relationships．Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be．Friendships are built on the basis of trust，and with onlinecommunication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting to is being honest about who they are．Because of this，going online can be particularly dangerous for people who are easily influenced or too trusting．In my opinion, friends should focus more on face-to-face communication，and less on online communication. This is the best way to maintain healthy relationships．Cathy's BlogThe Internet Helps FriendshipsThe Internet can help develop friendships in many ways．Firstly，the Internet makes communication much more convenient．You can stay in touch with friends no matter where you are or what you are doing．Using a smartphone，a tablet or a computer，you can be in contact at home and also when you are on the move.Secondly, the Internet has also made communication more fun．Traditional ways of communicating，like letters and phone calls，can be limiting and take time．However，you can share photos，videos，news stories and websites with your friends online. You can give a brief response to a message with an emoji or a picture．There are so many online tools you can use to be creative!Thirdly，online communication can actually bring people closer to eachother．Nowadays，your friends are just a click away．Whenever someone needs help，friends from all over the world can immediately provide useful suggestions or information. This makes friends feel loved and cared for．To me，this is a very thought-provoking argument, as it points out the benefits of online friendships．As Eileen Kennedy-Moore，an authority on the subject，points out，online friends "fill holes real-life friends can't fill"．Finally, I believe the Internet brings people close r together and makes communication with friends more convenient and interesting．Teens Talk About Books!User name：Happy HermioneAge：17My location (optional)：Wuhan，ChinaAbout me：I'm a senior secondary school student and my favourite subject is English．I also enjoy history and geography，and I love exploring new places with my family．In my free time，I'm usually in the library or at the park with a good book．I've always loved to read! I think reading is just another way of exploring the unknown world．It's an exciting experience for me．That's why I believe that books about foreign cultures or imaginary worlds are the best!Favourite types of books：Fantasy and travelFavourite books：I like all the books in the Harry Potter series．However，I believe the first one is the best．In my opinion，the author did an amazing job of creating a whole new world through this book．After reading it，I wanted to find out what happened to each of the characters. I like Hermione most，because we have a lot in common．Are there other readers who also like her?Reason for joining the reading club：I think it's fun to hear about new books that other people enjoy．Is there a fantasy book that you really like? Let's share ideas．语法：1．构成：would／should (should 用于第一人称) + 动词原形2．用法：①表示从过去某时来看，将要发生的动作或存在的状态。

Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries -- or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about ￡, compared with ￡ for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring damaging since the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belonged to frogs are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearly impossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested from the wild.Exercise A:1.Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries.2.By 1977 the French government banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians.3.Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs are disappearingfrom the rice fields and wetlands.4.The United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each yearbetween 1981 and 1984.5.One of the attractions of Indian frogs was the price.Exercise B:Frog legsPeople want frogs mostly for food.

Can you tell me something about the clubLama: Yes, well we offer a choice of facilities -- gym, sunbed*, sauna* andJacuzzi* -- that's also from Scandinavia -- as well as our regularfitness classes, that is. And there's a wholefood bar for refreshmentsafterwardsInterviewer: And does it cost a lot I mean, most people think health clubs are reallyexpensive.Lama: Actually our rates are really quite competitive. Since we only startedlast July, we' ve kept them down to attract customers. It's only ￡30 ayear to join. Then an hour in the gym costs ￡ -- the same as halfan hour on the sunbed. Sauna and Jacuzzi are both ~ for half anhour.Interviewer: And is the club doing wellLama: Well, so far, yes, it's doing really well. I had no idea it was going to be such a success, actually. We're both very pleased. The sunbed's so popular, especially with theover 65s, that we're getting another one in August.Interviewer: What kind of people join the clubLama: We have people of all ages here, from small children to old-age pensioners, though of course the majority, about three-quarters of our members, are in their 20sand 30s. They come in their lunch hour, to use the gym, mostly, or after work,while the Youngsters come when school finishes, around half past three orfour. The Jacuzzi's very popular with the little ones.Interviewer: What about the old-age pensionersLoma: They're usually around in the mornings, when we offer them special reduced rates for the Jacuzzi or sauna, plus sunbed, it's only ￡2, which is half price, actually.It doesn't affect our profits really -- only about 5% of our members are retired.

I know it looks ridiculous.Simon: Look. That's our instructor, Werner.Teresa: Yeah, we were in the beginners' class.Sally: Well, everyone has to start somewhere.Simon: Ah, now, this is a good one.Sally: What on earth is thatSimon: Can't you guessSally: Well, it looks like a pile of people. You know, sort of on top of each other.Teresa: It is!Sally: How did that happenSimon: Well, you see we were all pretty hopeless at first. Every day Werner used to take us to the nursery slope* to practise, and to get to the top you had to go up on a ski lift. Teresa: Which wasn't really very easy.Simon: No, and if you fell off you'd start sliding down the slope, right into all the people coming up!Sally- Mmm.Simon: Well, on that day we were all going up on the ski lift, you know, we were just getting used to it, and, you see there was this one woman in our class who never got thehang of* it. She didn't have any sort of control over her skis and whenever shestarted sliding, she would sort of stick her ski sticks out in front of her, you know,like swords or something.Teresa: I always tried to avoid her, but on that day I was right behind her on the ski lift* and just as she was getting to the top, she slipped and started sliding down the slope.Sally: Did she ~Simon: Mmm, with her ski sticks waving around in front of her!Teresa: So of course everyone sort of let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way.Simon: And that's how they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope -- it was lucky I had my camera with me.Sally: I bet that woman was popular!Simon oh,yes. everybody's favourite!Exercise A:1. They are looking at some pictures.2. A ski class for beginners.3. Two.Exercise B:Everyday the coach took them to a nursery slope. They got to the top on a ski lift. In their class there was one woman who could never learn how to ski. She couldn't control her skis and whenever she started sliding, she would stick her ski sticks out in front of her. People always tried to avoid her.One day as she was getting to the top, she slipped and started sliding down the slope. Everyone let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way and they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope.Passage 2 The Truth about the French!Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides state-of-the-art* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* two-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the "Paris school holiday week" which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Tree, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you're looking for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance. The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don't use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don't usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Always secure your vehicles, leavenothing of value visible and don't carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Exercise A:Exercise B:2. A3. A4. A5. B6. C7. D8.

Beware of begging children.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1France's busiest airport will reopen part of a terminal that was not damaged when a segment of the roof collapsed in May, killing four people.The Transport Minister Gilles de Robien said a segment of the three-building 2E terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport would return to service on July 15. In the May 23 disaster, failing glass, steel and masonry* killed four travelers -- two Chinese,one Czech* and one Lebanese*. Three others were injured.A preliminary report by experts said Tuesday that a weakness in the concrete that formed the futuristic terminal's vaulted roof may have contributed to the collapse.Officials are still unsure about what exactly caused it to collapse.Exercise A:This news item is about the new information Of France Charles de Gaulle airport where a segment of the roof collapsed in May.Exercise B:News Item 2An Antonov 26 plane crashed in northwestern Congo shortly after take-off on Saturday, killing all 22 Congolese passengers and the crew.It was not known how many crew members were on the plane when it crashed near the town of Boende, more than 600 km northeast of the capital Kinshasa. The cause of the crash was unknown.A string of accidents this week has underlined the parlous* state of Democratic Republic of Congo's transport infrastructure* after five years of war and decades of misrule.More than 160 people drowned when a ferry sank during a storm on Lake Mai-Ndombe, north east of Kinshasa, on Tuesday.On Saturday, 18 people were killed or injured when a small truck experienced brake trouble and crashed near the eastern town of Goma.Exercise A:This news item is about a string of accidents this week in Congo.Exercise B:News Item 3In the United States lawyers for Raed jarrar, an airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it displayed an Arabic script, say he has been awarded a total of $240,000 in compensation.Lawyers representing Raed Jarrar say the payout* is a victory for free speech and a blow to the practice of racial profiling*. Back in 2006 Mr Jarrar was waiting to board a flight at New York's JFK airport wearing a T-shirt that read 'We Will Not Be Silent" in English and Arabic. His lawyers claim he was ordered to remove the item of clothing by staff who said other passengers felt uncomfortable with the Arabic slogan. He eventually agreed to cover the shirt and boarded the plane, but says he was made to sit at the back.Exercise A:This news item is about the practice of racial profiling in the United States.Exercise B:Raed Jarrar, an airline passenger, has recently been awarded a total of $ 240,000 in compensation.Back in 2006 Mr Jarrar was w aiting to board a flight at New York’s JFK airport wearing a T-shirt that read “ We Will Not Be Silent” in English and Arabic. Later he was ordered to remove the printed words on his T-shirt by staff who said other passengers felt uncomfortable with the Arabic slogan. He eventually agreed to cover the shirt and boarded the plane, but he was made to sit at the back.Lawyers representing Raed Jarrar say the payout is a victory for free speech and a blow to the practice of racial profilingSeetion three oral workRetellingThere is a street called "The Strand" in Galveston, where hundreds of thousands oftouristsvisit today. This street was Mama's stomping* ground as a kid. Before Mama died, we took a streetcar around Galveston to see all the lovely, restored homes. What a great day. She knew morethan the tour guide. As we sat enjoying the sights, Mama said, "Liz, do you know why my noseis a little crooked*" (I thought, "Where did that come from") "No, Mama, you haven't ever mentioned it," I replied."Well," said mother, "one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcar ranoverme. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in the ground so hard, Ibroke mynose! It sure caused a lot of chaos*. People screamed, the police came, and I just crawled out, brushed myself off and went home. The only thing 1 ever noticed different about me was a crookedI just looked at her nose and looked at Mama in utter disbelief!Section Four Supplementary Exercises Babies and IntelligenceSome people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or sixmonths old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Development note thatbabies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her motherdoes something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to pleaseher mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate withother humans. This ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.The Finnish researchers used devices to measures the babies' brain activity. Theresearchersplayed recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while the babies slept.The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleep because the part of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remains active at night. The cortex is very important for learning. This part of the brain is not active in adults while they sleep.Many experts say the first years of a child's life are important for all later development. An American study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. The study involved more than 1,200 mothers and children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their children four times during this period.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generally are more intelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of a child at seven years of age is directly linked to his or her weight at birth. Study organizers say this is probably because heavier babies received more nutrition* during important periods of brain development before they were born.The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City used traditional tests to measure intelligence. Brothers and sisters were tested so that the effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet or other considerations.The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally did better on the intelligence tests. Also, the link between birth weight and intelligence later in life was stronger for boys than for girls.Exercise A:1. Some people thought babies were able to learn things when they were five or six months old.2. Doctors think babies begin learning things on their first day of life.3. Babies communicate with other people by smiling.4. They can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.5. Babies can learn while asleep.6. They are important for a child's all later development.Exercise:BExercise C:Your opinionDirections: Listen to the passage again and give your opinion on the following topics, "Many experts say the first years of a child's life are important for all later development."1. What should mothers do in the first year of a child's life2. What might affect a child if his parents get divorced in his first year of lifeFatigueFatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy.Fatigue is different from drowsiness. In general, drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep, while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens) can be symptoms of fatigue.Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical exertion, emotional stress, boredom, or lack of sleep. However, it can also be a nonspecific sign of a more serious psychological or , physical disorder. Fatigue that is not relieved by enough sleep, good nutrition, or a low-stress environment should be evaluated by your doctor. Because fatigue is a common complaint, sometimes a potentially serious cause may be overlooked.The pattern of fatigue may help your doctor determine its underlying cause. For example, if you wake up in the morning rested but rapidly develop fatigue with activity, you may have an ongoing pysical condition like an underactive thyroid*. On the other hand, if you wake up with a low level of energy and have fatigue that lasts throughout the day, you may be depressed. Here are some tips for reducing fatigue:Get adequate, regular, and consistent amounts of sleep each night.Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day.Exercise regularly.Learn better ways to relax. Try yoga* or meditation*.Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule.Change your stressful circumstances, if possible. For example, switch jobs, take a vacation, and deal directly with problems in a relationship.Take a multivitamin. Talk to your doctor about what you need and what is best for you.Avoid alcohol, nicotine*, and drag use.If you have chronic* pain or depression, treating either often helps address the fatigue. However, some antidepressant* medications may cause or worsen fatigue. Your medicationmay have to be adjusted to avoid this problem. Do not stop or change any medications without instruction from your doctor.Stimulants* (including caffeine) are not effective treatments for fatigue, and can actually make the problem worse when the drugs are discontinued. Sedatives* also tend to intensify fatigue in the long run.Exercise A:Fatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy. Fatigue is different from drowsiness.

1.HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WLDLIFE（26页）Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. "Where do you want to go?" it asked. Daisy responded immediately. "I'd like to see some endangered wildlife," she said. "Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater." At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, "We're being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species." At that Daisy cried, "I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection."The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. "Have you come to take my photo?" it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. "Don't laugh,”said the elephant, "We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife."Daisy smiled. "That's good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests." The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. "What are you doing?" asked Daisy. ”I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes," it replied. "When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs."Daisy was amazed. "Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help." The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone - the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF…第四单元阅读一Daisy如何学习去帮助野生动物Daisy常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的种类的野生动物。

一天她醒来发现一个正在飞行的飞毯在她包里。

“你想去哪里？”它问。

Daisy立刻回答它。

“我想去看那些濒临灭绝的动物，”她说。

“请带我去那个我可以找到供给皮毛去制造这件毛衣的动物的一个遥远的地方。

”飞毯立刻带她飞去了西藏。

在那里Daisy看到了一支看起来很伤心的羚羊。

它说，“我们被杀是为了我们肚子下的毛。

我们的皮毛被人类用来制造像你这样的毛衣。

因此，现在我们是一种濒临灭绝的种类。

”然后Daisy 哭喊着，“我很抱歉我不知道那些。

我想知道神马可以被做来帮助你们。

飞毯，请带我去一个有一些野生动物保护区的地方。

”飞毯飞得如此的快以至于他们下一分钟就在Zimbabwe。

Daisy转来转去然后发现她被一头大象盯着。

“你过来跟我照相了么？”它问。

Daisy松了口气突然笑起来。

“不要笑，”大象说，“我们曾经是濒临灭绝的品种。

农民好不仁慈地猎杀我们。

他们说我们破坏了他们的天地，和来自那些只游览大工厂的游客的钱。

所以政府决定去帮助。

他们允许游客给钱农民然后可以去猎杀确定数量的动物。

现在农民很高兴而且我们的数量在增加。

所以好事情正被做于营救当地的野生动物。

”Daisy微笑了。

“那是个好消息。

它展示了野生动物保护的重要性，不过我喜欢去帮助像WWF这样的建议。

”飞毯再次升起然后几乎同一时间他们在一个阴霾的热带雨林。

一支猴子看着他们就像它摩擦它自己。

“你在干神马？”Daisy问。

“我在保护自己不受蚊子的伤害，”它回答。

“当我找到一只千足虫昆虫，我会在我身上摩擦它。

它包涵了一种强大的可以影响蚊子的药物。

你应该更加注意那些我居住的热带雨林并好好鉴赏动物们如何居住在一齐。

没有雨林，没有动物，没有药物。

”Daisy很惊讶。

“飞毯，请带我回家这样我可以联系WWF并开始保护这种新的药物。

猴子，请过来帮忙。

”那猴子同意了。

飞毯飞回家了。

当他们降落时，事物开始消失了。

两分钟后所有东西都消失了-那只猴子也是。

所以Daisy不能去制造她的新药物。

不过如此的一段经历！她已经学习了那么多！还有那里的WWF......ANIMAL EXTINCTION（30页）Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. The most famous of these animals are dinosaurs. They lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that time.There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live inChina. The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia, County, Nanyang, Henan Province. Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. When scientists inspected the bones, they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees. They learned this from the way the bones were joined together. Dinosaurs died out suddenly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more. Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappeared from the earth in such a short time.We know many other wild plants, animals, insects and birds have died out more recently. According to a UN report, some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in the last 500 years. The dodo is one of them. It lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly animal. Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the earth.从地球有史以来的这段漫长时期，许多动物都消失了。
