Chapter 4 Family in the United StatesA hundred years ago, one heard the same kind of comments about the American family that one hears today --- in short, that the American family is disintegrating. Proof of this disintegration at the end of the nineteenth century included three points: the declining birth rate, a rising divorce rate, and evidence that women were not completely content with their domestic role. It’s a little surprising to me that the same claim about the family is being made today --- that it is disintegrating. And often the same points are mentioned as proof: declining birth rates, increasing divorce rates, and discontent of women with domestic roles. Now, in no way do I mean to imply that cultural, demographic, and economic conditions are the same now as they were 100 years ago. On the contrary, the very nature of the family has changed drastically in the last 50 years, not to mention the last 100 years. But I don’t think the average person’s concept of the family has changed very much over the years. A lot of people have on fixed idea of the family: a married couple where Mother stays home to care for the children and Father works. But this idea is challenged by what we see every day in U.S. society. To be sure, the family is a very sensitive barometer for what is happening in the society, the culture, and the economy of the United States. To make this point clearer, we’ll take a look at how the American family has changed in the last 50 years by looking at three different time periods: there are the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s; the mid-60s to the mid-80s; and finally the present. Sociologist Barbara Dafoe Whitehead labels these three periods: the period of traditional familism, the period of individualism, and the period of the new familism. I will try for each period to show how economic, demographic, and cultural elements interact and, in turn, affect the family.Well, let’s proceed in chronological order and start with traditional familism. We’re talking here of the twenty years from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s. This was the period after World War II, a period characterized by a very strong economy. This gave the United States a rising standard of living and a growing middle class. Demographically, the predominant configuration of the family from these years was the traditional one: a married couple with children. Some women worked, but divorce rates were low, and birth rates were high. I guess you could say that the country idealized the family in these years. And what I mean is, there was a commitment to the family from its members and a reverence for it from society. TV programs of the era depicted the family in the classical configuration: working father, housewife, and children. Culturally, three characteristics stand out in this period: conformity to social norms, greater male domination of the family than in the later periods, and clear-cut gender roles, that is, clear and separate roles for men and women at home and at work. Well, things changed quite a bit after this period.Let’s move on to the second period, the period of individualism. This period is from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. Now, because individualism is so often mentioned in our discussion of U.S. culture and people, I should make a little detour here before we discuss it. Individualism brings to mind two other words: independence and self-reliance. Individualism conveys the idea that one should think and act for himself or herself, according to what one feels is right. Individualism is easily confused with egotism or selfishness, but in its best sense, it is much more. Individualism implies that one has the freedom to decide what is best rather than allowing that decision to be made by a group such as the community or society. Individualism does, of course,conflict with the concept of community, which implies that the group shares in making decisions. And this conflict between the individual and the community is one that comes up again and again in our lecture series about the United States. All right, let’s get back to our discussion about the family.The second period, the period of individualism, saw three important social and political movements. Do you have any idea which movements I might be talking about? Keep in mind that these decades were characterized by a lack of conformity to social norms. Well, the movements have in mind are the sexual revolution, in which sex was clearly no longer reserved for marriage; the women’s liberation movement; and the movement against the war in Vietnam. All three movements---the sexual revolution, woman’s liberation, and the antiwar movement --- were typical of the nonconforming nature of these decades. Now, culturally, it is in this period where we see two important developments: one the idealization of one’s career and work and, two, the drive for self-expression and self-fulfillment. In this period, the feminist movement challenged traditional gender roles and male domination of society. Women began to enter professions previously closed to them like medicine, law, and management. Men, for their part, began at least to consider a more active role in raising their children.These cultural changes occurred during a time of economic changes, too. This was a time of rapidly rising cost of living. Together, these forces changed the demographics of the family. The former picture of the family had only one configuration: a married couple with children where Mother stayed home. The new picture of the family had to include new configurations, like families in which the husband and wife both worked, families of single parents with children, and families of cohabiting couples with or without children. With more women pursuing careers and making money, there was less economic pressure for them to stay in an unsuitable marriage. Therefore, divorce rates doubled in a decade. Rising divorce rates and more financial independence for women made marriage a less attractive arrangement for many women. Consequently, the number of single-parent households tripled. Less conformity to social norms paved the way for cohabitation. So the number of unmarried couples living together in this period quadrupled. Can you see how economic, cultural, and demographic aspects of the society interact with each other? I hope so. Well, let’s continue with our agenda.The third period, the new familism, is harder to see because we are living in this period now. And because we are constantly informed by the media about the deteriorating American family, it’s hard to get an objective view of the state of the family. I think that today most people applaud the social changes that came about in the second period of individualism. They are not willing to give up gender equality, the freedom to leave an unsuitable marriage, or the self-fulfillment of an interesting job. At the same time, most experts, if not most people, admit that children paid a high price for the social changes that took place in the second period. It was the children who spent long days in day care or after-school hours home alone while both parents worked. And it was the children who grew up with only one parent or with stepparents in many cases.Some experts see changes occurring now in U.S. society, changes that affect the family. They see a continuing decline inn divorce rates since the 1980s but also a decline in birth rates after an initial increase in 1980s. The decline in divorce rates could be due to families’ better financial situations. Despite the decline in divorce, a quarter of U.S children today live with only one parent. The birthrate is probably declining because an increasing life span results in fewer women of childbearing age. A more encouraging reason is the reduction in unmarried teen pregnancies. Experts also report an attempt by people to balance work with family obligations, especially the care of children. They see the individualism of the middle period changing somewhat; the concern seems in many cases to be shifting from one’s career to one’s family, from individualism to the new familism. The most optimistic view of this third period would be that Americans have learned from past mistakes: they want to regain the commitment to family of the first period and keep the equality and fulfillment of the second period. It will not be easy to regain the commitment to the family of the first period. It will require changes in how society and the government look at the family. In families where bother parents work, one parent may try to work at home or work only part-time to have more time for the children. Places of work may offer more flexible working hours and on-site day care to allow more time for parents and children. For its part, the government could mandate parental leave, family allowances, and quality day-care centers. Parental leave and family allowances would allow parents to stay home to look after their newborn children. Quality day care would be adequately staffed by professionals who stay at their jobs and with the same children year after year.None of these changes is guaranteed. But it seems clear that such changes or similar ones are necessary to ensure a healthier U.S. family in the future; and, a healthier family is needed to play the central role that family does in every society. I’ve gone over a lot here, but if you want to pursue the topic further, there are some references that the end of the lesson to help you do so.Chapter 5 Lecture：ReligionReligion is a complex phenomenon in the United States and often misunderstood by foreigners. Part of this may be because the media, for example, television and films, are often the only ways that foreigners are exposed to American culture. These media, in general, ignore the role and importance of religion in America.Driving through the countrysid e and passing through small towns in the United States, foreigners are often surprised by the number of churches in even a small town of two or three thousand people. That there are so many churches doesn’t seem so strange, perhaps, if we look at the history of the United States. Remember when talked about immigration to the United States? At that time, we pointed out that many people immigrated to escape persecution and to seek freedom to practice their religion. Considering that people from many different countries and religious backgrounds immigrated to the United States, it shouldn’t be surprising to find a great number of different religious denominations. Even in a small town, there will usually be several churches representing different religious groups. Today I’d like to give you some facts and figures about religious groups in the United States, then compare the United States to other modernized nations, and, finally, say something about the importance of religion in America, particularly about the increasing role of religion in U.S. political life in recent years.Estimating the number of people belonging to various religious groups in America can be a little difficult to do. First of all, the U.S. government cannot ask for information on religious affiliationon a mandatory basis in any official capacity, statistical information must be gathered from surveys of the population and from organizational reports, which might, for example, include the number of members belonging to a church, synagogue, or mosque. One survey done in 2002 shows that 76 percent of the total population identified themselves as Jewish and another 1 percent as Muslim. I should pint out that Protestants, who form the single largest religious groups, are found in more than 1,200 denominations.Another study, called “The American Religious Identification Survey,” showed that the number of people identifying themselves as Christian dropped from 86 percent to 77 percent between 1990 and 2001. The total number of those identified themselves as Jewish declined a little, whereas the total number who identified themselves as Muslims doubled. Other smaller groups such as Buddhists and Hind us also increased their numbers. I don’t want to suggest that these are the only religious groups. Ok, so that’s enough facts and figures about various religious groups in the United States.Now let’s look at two ways that religion in the United States dif fers from religion in other modernized nations. The first relates to the number of persons who claim membership in churches or some other religious organization. The second concerns the relationship of religion and government. Let’s consider the first way the United States differs from these other modernized nations. About 60 percent of Americans belong to a church or other modernized nations. This number is surprisingly high in comparison to other modernized nations. For example, the percentage of people who belong to a church or other religious organization is only 22 percent in Great Britain, 15 percent in Spain, 7 percent in Italy, and 4 percent in France. This is not to suggest, though, that religious values may not be important in these countries, but it does suggest how important belonging to a church or other religious organization is to Americans compared to Europeans. However, there is another somewhat contradictory difference that we should also consider. In many of these modernized, European nations, there is no clear separation of religion and government. When discussing religion in America, it’s important to remember that whereas freedom of worship is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution, this same amendment also establishes the separation of church and state. Therefore, although this amendment guarantees everyone the right to practice his or her religion, it also tends to keep religion out of the public schools, for example. Religion has been a matter of government, politics, and public education. Of course, religious beliefs and values have always influenced politics and education, but generally indirectly. To sum up, then, the importance of belonging to a church or religious organization seems greater to Americans than to Europeans, but at the same time, religion has no official role in the government as it has in some European countries and has largely been confined to the private side of people’s lives. However, there has been a recent trend leading to an increase in the influe nce of religion in politics. Finally, let’s take a closer look at this rather sudden rise in the influence of religion on American political life.Although religion in America seemed to many people to be in decline during most of this country, in the 1970s, there was a religious revival that surprised many, especially those people in academia, the media, and government. This religious revival became known as the “rise of the religious right.” That is, the people involved in this religious revival were polit ically conservative, or to the right of the center. For a while it seemed that this rise in conservative religion would be largely confined to the private sphere of life. The religious right was generally opposed to abortion,but abortion was made legal by the Supreme Court anyway. The religious right generally favored prayer in schools, but the Supreme Court found that prayer in public schools was unconstitutional. The issues of abortion and prayer were felt by many to be matters of private concern, not serious political issues. However, these issues have become increasingly politicized, and because very politicized and has led to very bitter political debate and even acts of violence. The religious right has also put more and more pressure on politicians to put prayer back in the schools, even if this requires another amendment to the Constitution. This rise of the religious right can no longer e ignored by people in politics. However, whether this group will be able to influence political life fir a long time cannot be known. Perhaps this is a temporary phenomenon, and in time the religious right will become less important.What the role and importance of religion will be in the future of American society cannot be known, of course. There are those who predict that Americans will become more like Europeans if economic prosperity continues, that is, more secular and less religious. Others fear that the rise in conservative religious beliefs may lead to a more authoritarian political atmosphere with less personal freedom for individuals. Because religious values have always been important in America in one way or another, it seems likely that religion will continue to play an important role in America well into the future.By the way, the history of some religious minorities in the United States is particularly interesting and sheds some light on the tougher issues related to the government’s commitment to freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. Some of these better known groups are the Amish, the Mormons, and the Seventh-day Adventists. I don’t have time to go into them today, but for those of you who are interested, I suggest that you do some further investigation of these religious minorities.Chapter 6 Birth，Marriage, and DeathCustoms vary so much from country to country or culture that it’s often bewildering for a foreigner trying to understand the traditions and customs of a new country. Part of what makes it so difficult is that most of these customs are so ingrained in the culture that most local people accept them without ever thinking about them. Some of the reasons for the customs or traditions are historical and may have ever been forgotten by the people who still practice these customs. When pressed for an explanation of some of their customs, people will sometimes be quite surprised that anyone would question their customs. “Doesn’t everyone do it this way?” might be their response, yet some of the customs that seem so natural to the people in the country or culture may seems quite strange and inexplicable to people new to a country. In a country as large as the United States, with people from so many different parts of the world and different cultures, it can be even more bewildering. Many ethnic groups still practice customs and traditions brought by their ancestors from their countries, yet if we look at the country as a whole, its people as a whole, we can find a kind of “general” culture with traditions that are often accepted or least adapted to fit the customs and traditions of each immigrant group as it becomes assimilated into the larger culture. Today let’s look at some widely accepted customs and traditions of most Americans concerning three of life’s most important events: birth, marriage, and death. Please keep in min d that these descriptions are very general and that society is changing quite rapidly in the UnitedStates and that people adapt and modify these customs to fit changing societal conditions and their own situations.The birth of a baby is a momentous occasion in any family and is celebrated in some way or another. There are many traditions associated with this event. One of the most common ones is the baby shower, which is a nonreligious tradition observed by almost everyone in the society. A shower is given by a close friend or relative of the expectant mother shortly before the bay is due. In the past, showers were almost always arranged in secret so as to be complete surprise to the mother-to-be. The mother-to-be was usually invited to someone’s home on one pretex or another, where she was surprised by her female friends and relatives who had planned this special party for her. In recent years, the tradition has been modified, at least in some social circles, so that the shower is not always a surprise occasion, but one that the expectant mother knows about ahead of time.Whether the baby shower is a surprise or not, the mother-to-be is showered with gifts for the new baby by her friends and relatives. The gifts may be small ones or very expensive ones depending on the financial situation of the participants, but there is always a very emotional outpouring of good wishes for the expected baby and its parents. The gifts are always opened at the party, and everyone expresses great admiration for them. There’s always a lot of advice from experienced mothers and expressions of envy form those women who do not yet have children. This way, the expectant mother is reassured about the coming event and desirability of her situation. A few years ago, t was almost unheard of for men to participate in bay showers. However, as I mentioned earlier, society is changing rapidly and men’s participation at baby showers is becoming more common. That reminds me of another related change in society in the United States. In the past, when births manly took place at home, it was a strictly female event with men banished from the room where the baby was born. After women started going to hospitals to have their babies, men still never went into the delivery room and were expected to wait nervously in the waiting room for doctor to come and tell them the good news. Today this is changing for many modern couples. Often they attend classes together to prepare them for the birth of the baby, and many men are with their wives in the deli very room and “coach” them through the birth along with the doctors.After a baby is born, many, if not most, people want to have a religious service for their baby within a few weeks of the baby’s birth, even if they are not very religious themselves. Fri ends and family will attend the service, which will be held in a church or a synagogue (犹太教堂) . For Christians, this service is ordinarily called baptism.There are many customs and traditions surrounding marriage and particularly the wedding activities themselves. Once again, it is very hard to generalize about these customs, as they vary so much among different people, but there are some customs that are quite generally observed. It is no longer necessary for a young man to ask permission of s girl’s father for her “hand”, and among modern couples a woman may actually be the first one to bring up the subject of marriage, but most young people still very much want their parents’ approval of the person they hope to marry. It is still traditional for young man to give his fiancée a diamond ring at the beginning of their engagement period. As for the actual wedding ceremony and related celebrations, traditionally it is the bride’s family who pays for these expenses. The wedding ceremony can be very simple one, with only a few family members and close friends present, or it can be veryelaborate, with hundreds of people in attendance. The traditional reception that follows the ceremony can be as simple as cookies and punch in the church or as elaborate as a large sit-down dinner held at a local hotel with a dance and private orchestra following the dinner. Sometimes people are invited only to the wedding or only to the reception. At any rate, these events can usually be attended only by invitation. One very popular tradition associated with weddings is, once again, the shower that we mentioned in relation to birth. At this shower given before the wedding, the bride-to-be receives gifts to help her set up her new household, such as electrical appliances, sheets, towels, and pots and pans. In addition to shower gifts, wedding gifts are also expected from people who receive wedding invitations. Occasionally people choose not to have any religious service at their wedding and opt to get married in a civil ceremony in a government building. However, a civil ceremony is not necessary if a couple decides to get married in a religious ceremony. Priests, ministers, and rabbis are legally empowered to marry couples, and it is not necessary to have both a civil and a religious ceremony. By the way, there’s an interesting tradition associated with weddings that is rather hard to explain, but then many traditions are. It is said every bride at her wedding should be wearing or carrying “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” The bride will be checked at the last minute to be sure that she has one of these. There are some other customs similar to this one that are rather superstitious in nature. For example, people believe that it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony. And immediately following the ceremony, as the couple leave the church, people at the ceremony will throw rice at them to signal fertility—that is, a hope that they will have many children. Some churches and other places where weddings are held have recently banned the throwing of rice as being hazardous to guests who can slip and fall on it. Some suggest throwing rose petals or some other substitute for the rice.In addition to birth and marriage, every society has to deal with death. Once again, it is hard to generalize about the customs surrounding death. Each religious group has ways to help its members cope with the loss of a family member or friend. For most people, religious or not, there are many decisions to be made at the time of a death. One decision is whether to have a funeral held in a church or in a funeral home. Another decision is whether to have the body cremated or not. If the body is cremated, a memorial service is held rather than a funeral. If the body is not cremated, a decision must be made about whether to display the body or not at the funeral. A day or two before the funeral, it is also quite common to hold a wake at a funeral home where the body is displayed in its casket. At the wake the family receives those people who whish to express their sympathy to the bereaved.At the funeral service it is customary for a religious leader to speak some words of comfort for the bereaved. In addition, a eulogy is usually given by someone close to the deceased person. Sometimes many people will speak about the good deeds of the person who has died. After the religious ceremony, the body is usually taken to a cemetery, where it will be buried after another brief religious service. Of course, most people learn of the death of someone they know from the person’s famil y, but notices of funeral services are also printed in the newspaper, and anyone who whishes to attend the service is expected to without a personal invitation from the family. People who knew the deceased casually, but who want to express their condolences, usually send a “sympathy” card to the family. It is traditional to send flowers to a funeral, but it is important to check with a florist to be sure to send the correct kind of flowers. It’s sometimes important toknow what kind of clothes to wear to a wedding or a funeral. Traditionally the bride wears white, and quests at the wedding are free to wear whatever colors they like, except for women, who do not wear white. At a funeral, it used to be necessary to wear black to show grief, but today this custom is no longer observed.As I said before, in a society so large and diverse as the United States, customs can vary greatly from area to area, among different social, ethnic, and even from generation to generation. I have tried to give you some idea of customs and traditions that are generally accepted, but, of course, it’s always wise to ask if you find yourself in a situation where you might be invited or expected to participate on one of these events. When in doubt, ask.Chapter 7 MulticulturalismForeigners from older cultures with traditions dating back hundreds and hundreds of years sometimes react with surprise and skepticism when the topic of U.S. culture comes up. Commenting on the United States, they sometimes say things like “But the United Sta tes has no culture.” People in the United States find comments such as this one amusing at best, and sometimes downright infuriating. In a way, I understand why a foreigner might react skeptically to the United States, especially if the person comes from a more ethnically and racially homogeneous society. Or if the person comes from a society whose culture is reinforced by state institutions—government, church, and schools, for instance. It would be hard for this foreigner to understand a multiracial, ethnically diverse country like the United States, whose institutions do not strongly reinforce the culture. However, it seems naive or even perverse to deny the existence of a culture that has such great impact on other cultures, for better or worse. The clothes that Americans wear, the food they eat, the music, films, and books they produce, and even to some extent the religions they practice influence how many people in other countries live and think. One may easily disapprove of the influence that mass American culture has on the world, but one cannot objectively deny that influence. (General introduction)In all fairness,I have to say that it’s understandable that foreigners have trouble identifying an American culture because not even the best minds in the country—writers, educators, and politicians—agree on the basic nature of U.S. culture. Now today I’ll try to contrast three ways that U.S. culture has been perceived over the years. Then perhaps you can decide which point of view seems the most logical to you. We’ll take a look at the older monoculturalist view; a newer, multiculturalist view; and finally a third view, which I’ll call the pluralistic view.(speaker’s opinion and subtopics of the lecture)First in our discussion is the monoculturalist view of the United States as a melting pot. A melting pot, literally a pot in which metals like aluminum and copper are milted in order to blend them, is the traditional metaphor for the way the different groups of immigrants came together in the United States. Now, theoretically, the result。

Unit 14. What do you learn from Huffman’s success story?Huffman has a hit TV show “desperate housewives”. And she stars in a new movie that is generating Oscar talk in which she plays a man determined to be a woman. Her excellent performance made her win the best actress award in multiple film festivals. She made an achievement and realized her dream.What do I learn from her success story. Simple summary is that I admire her persistence and courage.As a female who is not young and beautiful, Huffman has worked hard in the entertainment industry for nearly three decades. In the years before desperate housewives, Huffman was in a lot of TV shows and played some supporting role in soap opera. She just worked as a free actor so that she always worried about for the next opportunity to perform and thought she was going to get fired. What’s worse, in Huffman’s younger years ,she had her own issues with her body, she had an eating disorder, suffering from bulimia.Facing such frustration, she never has an idea of giving up, instead inspiring her fighting spirit.The dark movie experience and physical illness haven’t beaten her down. Her persistence and courage gave me a great impression. There are always many failures and difficulties in our life,They may let us down, even break us down. However, we are forced to face to them no matter how we are fed with them. Just like Huffman, what we should do is to build up self-confidence and stick to our dreams.Unit 15. Although the average family is shrinking in China, the size of an average new house is growing. What do you make of this? Do you think sometimes in the future Chinese may emulate the American craze for unreasonably big houses?Nowadays, one of the burning issues we are faced with is that although the average family is shrinking in China, the size of an average new house is growing. And if you ask me what I think of this phenomenon, I will give you such an answer: it’s completely caused of the progress of the age.With the growth of affluence, Chinese people put more and more focus on material life. Housing, as a big part of human being’ material life, is certainly in the limelight. And as to the housing problem, many Chinese seem to own such an opinion that big is beautiful. Then they try all their efforts to make a house as big as possible so that the house will be more and more beautiful and attractive. Besides, I think another factor worthy to note is the need to keep up with the Jones. Most Chinese people have one kind of following the crowd psychology, they think everyone’ house is bigger and bigger, so they can’t be the exception. As a result, the trend of Chinese’s growing appetite for bigger houses came out.Meanwhile, there also has such a question that whether Chinese will emulate the American craze for unreasonably big houses. I will answer you for certain that it is impossible. Because China’s current situation is everything. Although China owns the largest land in the world, its population is also the biggest in the world. So I own such an opinion thatthe craze for unreasonably big houses will be held back by the government of China instantly before it swept the country.Unit 4. Have you ever dreamed of being a math wizard奇才like Daniel when you were toiling through费力的做puzzling令人费解的math problems数学题? Do you still envy羡慕his genius天赋after watching the video clip视频剪辑? Why?Frankly speaking, I have ever dreamed of being a math wizard like Daniel when I was toiling through puzzling math problems. Because of the reason is that if I have such a talent like him, I can deal with the math problems more easily.However, it doesn’t mean that I envy his genius. In my opinion, although Daniel owns extraordinary memory and an exceptional talent in mathematical calculations indeed, he is still a person who is different from an ordinary people. And I am a person who insists that a simple life leads to truth and a real joy comes from peace. In other words, I just want to have an ordinary and happy life without being treated differently and teased by the people around me because of my extraordinary aspects whether it is genius or idiot.What’s more, I also believe that a person can not be perfect. If the God give you something special talent, he will also deprive something from you. That’s why the idiot savant exists. Daniel is just a case in point. He is a genius in math, but he still acts in a strange way when excited that he couldn’t help but flap his hands, pull at his fingers or pull at his lips.To sum up, I don’t envy such genius like Daniel, I just want to be a normal guy.。

April and May are warm and beautiful. From June to September, it’s very hot.Australia. Summer here is from December to April. It sometimes rains, but the weather is usually very good. In winter, it snows a little in some places, but most of Australia isn’t very cold.B. Hong Kong, China. The Weather is hot and very humid here a lot of the year. In July and August, it’s sometimes very windy, and there are bad storms. October and November are warm and not so humid, but in December and January, it gets very chilly sometimes.Germany. From November to April, the weather is cold, cloudy, and snowy. In spring it’s warn, but there’s a lot of rain. July and August are usually warm and sunny.India. You shouldn’t travel to India from June to September. There is a lot of rain everywhere. From November to April, after the rainy season, the weather is nice and cool. In April and May, it often gets very hot.Optional Listening 4In Tokyo, it’s an envelope with $850,000 in cash. At Florida’s Disney World, it’s a glass eye. At a hotel in England, it’s a goat and a false leg. How are all of these things similar? They are unusual things that people leave in hotel rooms, in airports, and on city streets. Irish Martino works in the lost and Found Center at an airport in a U.S. city. “Sure, we find the usual stuff—cell phones, keys, sunglasses and wallets,” she says. “But people also forget some weird things at the airport, too.” “What does Ms. Martino find? A woman’s false teeth in the bathroom. A mannequin in an airport waiting area. “ How do you forget those things?” Martino wonders. Nobuo Hasuda works for the Lost and Found Center in downtown Tokyo. The Center has almost 800,000 items Three hundred thousand od them are umbrellas! There are also many other things--- jewelry and briefcases, snowshoes and musical instrument. Mr. Hasuda keeps the lost items for six months and two weeks. After this time, the finder can take the item. This is good luck for some people. Remember the envelope in Tokyo with $ 850,000? The owner did not claim it. Now the money belongs to the finder!Key: OL1: A. 1. checking in at the airport; 2. looking at; 3. checking into a hotel. B. Berlin; 2. New York; 3.

He wants to make a good salary and he loves to travel.A: Well, Sara hates to fly. It seems Jason would be the person we need.B: Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any sales experience.Optional Listening 3A. I’m Don Pierce. A good actor works very, very hard. People think that actors spend their time at a lot of parties and nightclubs, but that isn’t true. Actors spend hours-many hours-studying their lines for each movie. And you really have to understand people so that you can understand your characters in the movie.I’m Janice. I think the most important thing for a good doctor is being a good listener. You have to understand people and their problems. A good doctor likes to solve problems and always wants to help his or her patients. And you can’t be impulsive---you should always be careful. Sometimes the first answer you think of isn’t the right answer. Doctors need a lot of energy, because they are usually hardworking.Hi, I’m Daniel. To be a success in business, you have to work well with groups of people. At the same time, you need to have strong opinions and be able to explain your opinions clearly. Good business-people always like to make new things and try new ideas. They are very organized, and they work very long hours.Optional Listening 4The Dreamer:A dreamer thinks there is a “right” way to do things. This person wants to live in the “perfect world”. A Dreamer is often hardworking and organized. Many are good listeners and like to help others. Many Dreamers work as teachers, lawyers, and in leadership roles.The Partner: A Partner wants to be in a group. For this person, rules and group harmony are important. These rules keep peace in the group. Partners are often serious, careful people. Many do well as teachers, managers, police officers, and politicians.The Thinker: For Thinkers, understanding things is very important. They like to solve problems and make new things. Thinkers can also be competitive. They like to win. They are independent and often have very strong opinions. Many Thinkers work as scientists, inventors, politicians, and engineers.The Artist: Artists want to be free. They don’t want to follow the rules all the time. Artists like action and are often impulsive. They also like trying new things. Like Thinkers, many Artists have strong opinions. Many Artists are creative and do well as musicians, actors, fashion designers, and athletes.Key OL1: A. Ashley’s major at school. B. 1. arts; 2. business; 3. a lot; 4. too competitiveOL2: A. C; B.

Interviewer: And welcome back to the KPLX radio in Los Angeles. We’re talking this morning with Europe’s hottest singer, Yeliz. Thanks for joining us.Yeliz: Sure! Hello Los Angeles!Interviewer: So, tell us a little about yourself, Yeliz. Where are you from exactly?Yeliz: I was born in Istanbul, but I live in Scotland now. My dad’s Scottish. My mom’s Turkish.Interviewer: You’re only seventeen. What’s it like being successful at your age?Yeliz: It’s pretty exciting. I get to travel, and meet some interesting people.(B. )Interviewer: You’re touring now, but what are your plans for the future?Yeliz: After the tour, I want to take a break. Then, later this year, I plan to make a new CD.Interviewer: Do you have any advice for other young artists?Yeliz: Well, I’d say follow your dreams. Work hard, and you can be successful.Optional Listening 2If you want to become a successful businessman, you should do three things. First, you should think about your goals every day. Make plans for today, tomorrow, and next year. Second, you should join a business club. You can learn a lot from the other members, and they can give you good advice. Third, you shouldn’t work every night and every weekend. Sometimes you should take a break. You get more energy and ideas when you relax. And you need a lot of energy and ideas to make money!Optional Listening 3---Find your dreamWe all have dreams, but some people actually take their dreams come true. Their secret? They quit dreaming. And they start doing. Even a very big dream starts with small steps, and small goals. Maybe your dream is to become a doctor. Start by thinking about small goals for yourself. Ask, “What can I do today?” You can’t start medical school today, but you can send e-mails and make phone calls to get information about medical schools. Make a list of schools to call, and then call a few of them every day. What do you need for your dream? Tell friends and family members—many of them can help you. For example, you want to become an artist. You need a lot of cheap paper for drawing. Maybe your friend’s brother throws away a lot of big paper at his office. So, share your dream with the world! Another good idea is talking to people who are doing your dream job. Do you dream about having your own restaurant? Go to your favorite restaurant and ask the owner lots of questions. Most people like to talk about their work.Optional Listening 4 ---A lifetime dreamEveryone has his or her own dream jobs. Let’s listen to Yi Wang, a 29-year-old young teacher, and Hicham Nassir, who are going to talk about their dream jobs.“At the moment, I’m teaching chemistry at a university in Beijing. It’s a good job, but my dream is to make films. In China, young artists move to Beijing from all over the country. Many of them are painters, writers, and actors. I’d like to make a film about their lives and their work.” Wang is writing the film now with help from her friends. But it isn’t easy. “At the moment, the biggest problem is money,” explains Wang. “We don’t have much.” But this isn’t going to stop Wangand her partners. She says, “First, we are going to make this movie. Then, we’d like to show it in China and, maybe someday, at film festivals around the world. ”16-year-old Hicham Nassir is a soccer player. He’s getting ready for a soccer match with his teammates. Hicham, the team’s star player, is a native of Morocco. He now lives in London with his family. “My parents want me to go to college, and major in business or law,” he explains. “They want me to become a lawyer or a successful businessman. I understand them, but I want to change their minds,” says Hicham, “I want to play soccer professionally. It’s my dream”Key: OL1: A. 1. singer; 2.

From that day , they are adults , and they are responsible for their own religious development. In Japan today , young people become legal adults at age of 20.

Exposing The Truth Of Abu GhraibThis segment was originally broadcast on Dec. 10, 2006. It was updated on June 21, 2007.You may not remember the name Joe Darby, but you remember the impact of what he did. Darby turned in the pictures of prisoner abuse at AbuGhraib in Iraq – pictures he had discovered purely by accident. Unfortunately for Darby, exposing the truth has changed his life forever, and for the worse.60 Minutes first broadcast this story last December, the story of an ordinary Joe who grew up in Appalachia and signed up to be an MP in the Army Reserves. As CNN's Anderson Cooper reports, Darby's local unit was sent to Abu Ghraib where he worked in the office while others guarded the prisoners.And then one day, when Joe Darby wanted scenic pictures to send home, he spotted the unit's camera buff, prison guard Charles Graner."So I walked up to Graner and I, you know, 'Hey do you have anypictures?' And he said 'Yeah, yeah, hold on.' Reaches into his computer bag and pulls out two CDs and just hands them to me," Darby remembers.Asked if he thinks Graner realized what was on these discs, Darby says, "I don't think he realized what was on, but I don't think it would have mattered either way. I knew Graner and Graner trusted me."That trust was about to change Darby's life forever. He copied Graner's discs and gave him back the originals. Later, when Darby looked at the photos he first saw scenic shots of Iraq, but then he came upon the pictures that launched the scandal. One of the first shots was a photo of a pyramid of naked Iraqis."I didn't realize it was Iraqis at first, you know? 'Cause we lived in prison cells too," Darby says.At first, Darby thought the pictures were maybe of American soldiers goofing off."I laughed. I looked at it and I laughed. And then the next photo was of Graner and England standing behind them. And I was like, 'Wait a minute. This is the prison. These are prisoners.' And then it kind of sunk in that they were doing this to prisoners. This was people being forced to do this," Darby recalls.Forced, Darby said, by Graner, who he called the ring leader.Asked what Charles Graner was like, Darby says, "If you were around him long enough you saw that he had a dark side, a morbid side."And a sadistic side, according to Darby, who told 60 Minutes Graner directed the abusive posing and picture taking during his night shift when he and his buddies were alone with the prisoners.What was going through his mind when he clicked through the photos?"Disbelief," Darby says. "I tried to think of a reason why they would do this, you know.""Well there's some who say, 'Look, this is a valuable interrogation tool,'" Cooper remarks."These were MPs. Our job wasn't to interrogate prisoners," Darby says."There has been testimony that some of the MPs were told to soften the prisoners up, that this was part of that," Cooper says."And I've heard that. And I wasn't there. I didn't work the tier. Ican't say that that didn't happen," Darby replies.But no matter why they were doing it, Darby knew what they were doing was wrong."I've always had a moral sense of right and wrong. And I knew that you know, friends or not, it had to stop," Darby says.Darby says his unit was close-knit, many of the members coming from similar small town backgrounds.Still, Darby decided he had to turn in the pictures but he didn't want his friends to know that he had done it.Asked why it was important to him to remain anonymous, Darby says, "I knew a lot of them wouldn't understand and would view me being a stoolpigeon or however, a rat, however you want to put it.""You knew there would be some kind of investigation?" Cooper asks."I knew these people were going to prison," Darby says. And in his opinion, they deserved to go to prison.Darby copied Graner's pictures onto a disc and put it in an envelope with an anonymous letter. He took the envelope to the Criminal Investigations Division — CID — and told them it had been left on his desk."I said, 'This was left in my office. I was told to give it to the CID.' I said, 'Have a nice day, Sir,' and turned around and walked away," Darby recalls.Darby hoped that would be the end of it but within less than 45 minutes, the investigator came to him.And the investigator knew that Darby wasn't telling the truth. He promised to keep Darby's name secret, and convinced him to explain how he had really gotten those pictures. Then investigators immediately began to round up the suspects."Once they were brought in, once this investigation began, were they removed from the base?" Cooper asks."No," Darby says. "They still had their weapons. They still hadunlimited access to the facility and me the whole time, for almost a month."He says he was very scared and even slept with a pistol under his pillow. "With my hand on it. I put it in my pillow case, I put my hand on it and cocked it, cocked the hammer and I'd sleep with it under my hand under my pillow," he remembers.He slept like this every night. "I slept in a room by myself. And anybody could come in in the middle of the night. You walk in the door, you hang a left, and then come in and cut my throat," Darby says."And you really thought that could happen, someone could cut your throat?" Cooper asks."I knew that if they found out who did it, they would be after me," he says.Weeks later, the guards under investigation were removed and Darby could finally sleep without a gun under his pillow. The suspects were gone,and his name was still secret.Several months later, 60 Minutes II broke the story of the pictures.An article in "The New Yorker" revealed Darby's role, though no one in Iraq seemed to notice.But then, while Darby was having lunch in the mess hall watching Donald Rumsfeld testify before Congress about Abu Ghraib, the defense secretarysaid, "There are many who did their duty professionally and we should mention that as well. First, Specialist Joseph Darby, who alerted appropriate authorities that abuses were occurring.""I just stopped in mid bite. I was eating and I just stopped. What the hell just happened? Now the anxiety came back. Now, I'm worried," Darby remembers. "Everyone in the unit knew within four hours."What was the reaction?"It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You know, I got support," Darby says.But he didn't get support back home in Cumberland, Md., a military town that felt Darby had betrayed his fellow soldiers.The commander of the local VFW post, Colin Engelbach, told 60Minutes what people were calling Darby."He was a rat. He was a traitor. He let his unit down. He let his fellow soldiers down and the U.S. military. Basically he was no good," Engelbach says.Asked if he agrees with that, Engelbach says, "I agree that his actions that he did were no good and borderline traitor, yes.""What he says in his defense is 'Look. I'm an MP. And this is something which was illegal,'" Cooper remarks."Right. But do you put the enemy above your buddies? I wouldn't," Engelbach replies.[Editor's Note: Colin Engelbach, the commander of the VFW post in Cumberland, was giving his own personal opinions to 60 Minutes and not speaking for the VFW or anyone else.]Their hometown held a vigil for members of his unit, including the accused, not however, for Joe Darby."These were people who knew me since I was born. These were people who were my parents' friends, my grandparents' friends that turned against me," Darby says.To prevent any soldiers from retaliating against him in Iraq, the military sent Darby back to the states early, ahead of the rest of his unit."I get called into my commander's office at like ten o'clock at night. He said, 'Do you have your bags packed?' I said 'Sir, we live in a tent.I always have my bags packed.' He said 'Good. Be on the flight line. In an hour you leave,'" Darby recalls.When Darby arrived at Dover Air Force Base, his wife Bernadette was there to meet him. He thought they would head back home, but the Army had other plans.An officer asked Darby what he wanted to do. "I said, 'Sir, I just want to go home. I've always just wanted to go home.' He said, 'Well son,that's not an option.' He said, 'The Army Reserve has done a security assessment of the area and it's not safe for you there. You can't go home,'" Darby remembers. "'You can probably never go home.'""They said, 'If you had to choose, where would you want to live?' And you know basically where do you pick, you know? You've lived a wholelife in one area," he says.Asked if it seemed fair to him, Darby says, "No.""It's not fair. That we're being punished for him doin' the right thing," his wife Bernadette adds.The Army's security assessment of his hometown had concluded that "the overall threat of harassment or criminal activity to the Darbys is imminent. …a person could fire into his residence fr om the roadway."The local VFW commander told Cooper the military was right to keep Darby out of town. "Probably so. There was a lot of threats, a lotta phone calls to his wife," Engelbach remembers.He says there was a lot of anger in Cumberland. "'Cause it really did put our troops in harm's way more so than they already were," Engelbach says.Bernadette Darby says she heard people calling her husband a traitor,that he was a dead man and that he was walking around with a bull's eye on his head.To keep Joe and Bernadette safe, the military moved them to an Army base with body guards around the clock. "I couldn't go anywhere without security. Nowhere," Darby remembers."Even goin' to a restaurant?" Cooper asks."We walk in with, me and her and six guys?" Darby says, laughing. "And all of 'em are armed."Darby says he was protected by bodyguards for almost six months.。
