The official said the death toll could reach 2000. the Indian army has been called into help the relief effort. From Deli. Here is David Willis.The storm with winds of up to 75 miles an hour struck India’s southeast coast, flattening homes, destroying crops and cutting transport links. Eyewitnesses reported tidal waves more than 12 feet high. The storm was followed by torrential rains, which swept away roads and railway lines, and flooded low lying areas. More than 40 people are thought to have died when a ferry sank. But most of the deaths have been due to flooding, houses collapsing or electrocutions. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He’s appealed to the federal government to treat the incident as a national calamity. David Willis.B. 1. The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms appears to be over2.in parts of Europe3.During the past week4.Affected5.At least five6.because emergency warnings were issued before.C. 1. c 2 b 3. d 4. bNine hours Greenwich Mean Time. The news read by Wendy Gordon. The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping parts of Europe during the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall brought flooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport. Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in France announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are low because emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III. EarthquakesA. Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started. Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters from the rubble. Electricity, gas and water supplies have also been seriously disrupted. Experts believe that the country will be hit by more quakes during the next 48 hours.C.I. A. Sunday/ the 23rd B. in southern ItalyII. A. at least 400 B. many more than 400III. A. in small towns and villages outside Naples 1. hospital 2. church 3. private homes B. 1. eight or nine 2. in the streets or squares 3. countryside/ traffic jams 4. telephone lines/ 5. electricity and waterIV. A. 1. the fog 2. the cold weather B. roadIt’s eight o’clock on Monday the 24th of November. At least 400 people are feared to have died in a major earthquake which shook large areas of southern Italy last night. As rescue work continues in wide areas of southern Italy it is becoming increasingly more likely that the present toll of 400 dead will rise much higher. The tremors were felt all over Italy, from the French border to Sicily, but the worst damage appears to be in small towns and villages, many of them very isolated, outside Naples. Naples itself has also been badly affected. In a little village about sixty miles east of the city scores of people are thought to have died as the earthquake hit a village hospital and a local church as well as many private homes. It appears that there was an evening service going on in the church at the time.In Naples it was the old part of the city which was worst affected—many buildings of eight or nine stories broke apart and collapsed as the earthquake hit at around 8 p.m. last night. A large proportion of inhabitants spent the night in the open in the streets or squares and as smaller tremors continue, more chaos has ensued as townspeople rush for the countryside, blocking roads and causing traffic jams. Telephone lines have been broken and electricity and water supplies are failing—the fog and cold conditions are making rescue operations very difficult in some of the remoter parts of the south particularly where road conditions are not very good.Our own correspondent has been to the disaster area and sends us this report.Part IV Earthquake TipsDuring an earthquakeWhen you feel an earthquake, duck under a desk or sturdy table. Stay away from windows, bookcases, file cabinets, heavy mirrors, hanging plants, and other heavy objects that could fall. Watch out for falling plaster and ceiling tiles. Stay undercover until the shaking stops, and hold onto your cover. If it moves, move with it. Below are some additional tips for specific locations: If you are in a high-rise building, and not near a desk or table, move against an interior wall and protect your head with your arms. Do not use the elevators. Do not be surprised if the alarm or sprinkler systems come on. Stay indoors. Glass windows can dislodge during the quake and sail for hundreds of feet.If you’re outdoors, move to a clear area away from trees, signs, buildings, electrical wires and poles.If you’re on a sidewalk near buildings, duck into a doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris.If you’re driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop. A void overpasses, power lines, and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over .If you’re in a crowded store or other public place, do not rush for exits. Move away from display shelves containing objects that could fall.If you’re in a wheelchair, stay in it. Move to cover, if possible, lock you wheels, and protect your head with your arms.If you’re in the kitchen, move away from the refrigerator, stove, and overhead cupboards. (Take time now to anchor appliances, and install security latches on cupboard doors to reduce hazards.)If you’re in a stadium or theater, stay in your seat and protect your head with your arms. Do not try to leave until the shaking is over, then leave in a calm, orderly manner. A void rushing towards exits.After the earthquake checklist.Be prepared for aftershocks, and plan where you will take cover when they occur.Check for injuries. Give first aid, as necessary.Remain calm and reassure others.A void broken glass.Check for fire. Take appropriate actions and precautions.Check gas, water, and electric lines. If damaged, shut off service. If gas is leaking, don’t use matches, flashlights, appliances, or electric switches. Open windows, leaving building, and report to gas company.Replace all telephone receivers, and use for emergency calls only.Tune to the emergency broadcast station on the radio or television. Listen for emergency bulletins.Stay out of damaged buildings.Part V. do you know…?A1.Main idea: to remember Tsunami victims2.Time : midday/ 3 minutes of silence/ people stopped/ flags lowered to half staff.3.Purpose: giving people a chance to remember all those who died.4.1) Sweden/ 700+1200 Germany: +1000Brge earthquake/ epicenter under water2.no/ most quakes no tsunamis3.depending on distance/ near the earthquake/ immediately / hardest hit area/ two hoursaway.4. a. water/ seriously withdrawing or coming in for no apparent reasonb. feeling an earthquake / witnessing a landslide at the coast。

Unit 1 Nine to fiveConversation1Li:What a wonderful view! This is such a great city!Do you ever get tired of living in London, Andy?A;"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"Li:That's a quotation by Samuel Johnson, isn't it?A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.A; And you will find a job?Li:I think I have to do my Master's before I look for work.But I must admit London is very special.Do you think you would ever leave London?A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back here.Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it.A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit youLi:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.A:Don't make it look too goodLi:Why not?A;Well,if you enjoy working with London Time Off, we don't want you working with anyone elseLi:Oh, working with you and Joe it's great fun and really interesting. I couldn't think of a better way to find out about a cityA;So maybe you should think about applying for a job with usLi:But do you think I'd stand a chance(有可能，有希望)?I mean, I'm not sure if Joe likes meA:Don't even think about it!Joe is very straight talking and I promise you that you'd know if he didn't like you.Li:Perhaps we should both update our CVs and look for jobs togetherA:Hey,right!That would be fun.Conversation2Li:Talking about future plans,how do you see your career developing?A:My career?Well, I like working for London Time Off.It's a part of a larger media company called Lift off USA,so there are lots of opportunities.But... Li:But...What?A:It's not always very easy working with Joe.I mean,I kind of think he has a different agenda（different way of thinking from Andy不一样的想法）.I like his work, but sometimes I don't think his heart is in his job.Li:How did he end up in London?A:He did media studies in the States,and then found work as a gofer（杂工）at Lift off USA in New York.Li:What's a gofer?A:Go for this,go for that.It's a word for the least experienced person in the film and TV industry.Then he came to London and got a proper job as a researcher at Lift off UK,and then after a few years he got the producer's job in London Time OffLi:He is good at his job,isn't he?A:Yes,he is confident and competent at what he does,so the people who work with him rate him quite highly（speak highly of）.Li:Except you?A:No,I rate him too.And I get on with him quite well,although we are not best budies or anything like that,it's just...I want his job!Li:Now we know your little secret.I promise I won't tell anyoneA:Janet,there was something I was going to ask you...Li:Sure,what is it?A:I was wondering...oh,it's nothing.Anyway,all this talk about your future career is making me thirsty.Let's go for a drink.Li:Who is round ?A:You...Conversation2 P3-6选择题答案 bdacPassage1“It’s not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel阐明the 1.logic逻辑；理由behind who succeed and who doesn't."This is the basic idea of an intriguing有趣的book called Outliers局外人, by the American journalist Malcolm Gladwell. The book 2.explores探索 the factors which contribute to促成 people who are 3.extremely非常地 successful in their careers, for example, the role that family, culture and friendship play.Gladwell examines检查the causes of why the 4.majority大多数 of Canada ice hockey冰球players are born in the first few months of the calendar日历year, what the founder建立者of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his 5.extraordinary非凡的 success, and why the Beatles 6.managed to能够redefine 重新定义the whole of popular music in the 1960s.Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada 7.recruits招收from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger, stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year. And because they have this 8.advantage优势 at the start of their sports career, they ‘re given extra 9.coaching辅导, and so there’s a greater chance that they ‘ll be picked for an elite精英的 hockey team in the future.He calls this 10.phenomenon现象accumulative累积的advantage, a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Success depends on the 11.process过程 by which talented有天赋的 athletes are 12.identified 确认 as much as it does on their own abilities.Another 13.aspect方面 which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule. Great success demands an 14.enormous大量的 amount of time for practice and training. For example, the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200 times over four years, much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell 15.claims宣称 is necessary for great success. So by the time they returned to England, they had developed their talent and sounded completely different from any other group.In the same way, Bill Gates had thousands of hours’ worth值…的量 of programming编程 because he had 16.access使用to a computer at his high school. He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the test最新的developments in computer technology. All through the book, Gladwell repeats his claim that it’s not just talent or 18.genius天才 which 19.determines决定 someone’s success, but opportunity, advantage and even simple good luck.Outliers has met with extraordinary success, matched比得上 only by Gladwell ‘s own career for 25 years in journalism新闻业. As a result, many critics 评论家have seen it as an autobiography自传, in which the writer appears to be 20.apologizing道歉；辩解 for his own personal achievements. But the idea that you have to be born at the right moment, in the right place and in the right family, and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking 引人深思的way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement. It’s certainly worth reading, as long as只要 you don't take it too seriously.Passage1 P8-3选择题答案bdacUnit 2 A good readConversation1Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.Andy: OK, sure.Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books?Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet?Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.Andy: Have you read them?Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me. Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle（伦敦视角）? Andy: Not necessarily.Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?Joe: Absolutely.Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography（自传） of Charles Dickens which I'm reading.Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.Joe: OK, tell us more.Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.Andy: Sounds right up your street（拿手的）!Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it!Conversation2Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this? Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves（使某人心烦意乱）.Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain. Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode（集，一集）.Andy: And was he a Londoner?Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old.Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels.Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator（社会评论员） as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century. It makes me want to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave（突然想到的妙计，灵感） to suggest the new biography.Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping! Conversation2 P15-6选择题答案abdccPassage1M：So how long has your book group读书会 been running?C：Well, let me see, it's over 20 years now. I think it's actually one ofthe oldest book groups around, because it was only about 20 years ago that they started to become 1.fashionable流行的 in the UK.M：And how often do you have meetings?C：We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to（前奏，预备期）Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.M：And how many 2.members成员 do you have?C：We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can 3.attend参加. M：And what happens during the meeting?C：Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start 4.fairly非常地late, around 8:30, and the 5.host主人 prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts.M：It sounds quite rmal随意的，不正式的.C：It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it's fairly 7.rare罕见的 that no one likes the book, and it gets quite interesting when opinions about it are 8.divided有分歧的.M：And what sort of books do you read?C：Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that beinga member of the club makes me read more modern fiction小说 than I might do9.otherwise相反地. But we also read the 10.classics名著, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and 11.whereas而 I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly惹人恼火地12.dull无聊的. And we read non-fiction纪实文学, quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like 13.poetry诗歌, which I don't, but you know, we're 14.tolerant 宽容的 of each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.M：And how do you choose the books?C：Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically 基本上, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.M：And that works OK?C：Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's 15.respect尊重. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!Passage1 P20-3选择题答案 dacabUnit 3 Fashion statementConversation1Tanya: Hey! That looks good on you! You should try it on.Janet: No thanks, I’m just looking.Tanya: Go on, try it on. I can tell it suits you.Janet: You seem to want me to buy something. And I’m not sure I want to buy anything at all.Tanya: Well, yes .I’m pretty sure you want to buy something.Janet: How do you know?Tanya: Well, it’s my job to know what women want to wear.Janet: How do you know what I want to wear?Tanya: I can just tell. Most women don’t hold things up like that unless they know they want to buy it, but either they haven’t got the money or they are nervous about impulse buying.Janet: So what type of Tanya am I then?Tanya: No money.Janet: Yeah! You are right, but how do you know?Tanya: If you were nervous about impulse（心血来潮的，一时冲动的） buying, you’ll feel good that you’ve made a careful decision.Janet: That’s pretty smart. What is your job then?Tanya: I’m a buyer for a store in New York City. I’m here for London Fashion Week. Hey, do you want to go? I have some free tickets for the catwalk show this afternoon.Janet: Well, I’m not sure. I’m waiting for a friend for a friend, actually ,and…Joe: Hi, Janet!Janet: Joe! What are you doing here?Joe: Why the surprise?Janet: It’s just…I didn’t expect to see you. That’s all. Er, this is …Tanya: Hello, I’m Tanya Feinstein. Is this the friend you were waiting for…Janet: NO. Yes!Tanya: So would you both like to come this afternoon?Janet: Tanya has invited us to the catwalk show this afternoon.Tanya：Look at this. Oh, it’s perfect. I’ll try it on. I’ll leave you two to make up your minds.Conversation2Joe: Who is she? Is she a friend of yours?Janet: No, she just came up to me and started talking about fashion. She’s a buyer for some New York fashion store.Joe: But why she invited us to a catwalk show?Janet: She’s giving out free ti ckets. Part of her job I think.Joe: So do you want to go?Janet: I suppose so. Have not got any money for shopping, so why not? Tanya: OK, you guys made up your mind?Joe: You sure you got a couple of tickets for us?Tanya: Sure!Joe: Thanks. So what is your take on the London fashion scene then? Tanya: As far as I am concerned, the clothes shops in London are some of the best in the world. The way I see it, if I want haute couture（高级时装） I can go to Paris or Milan. But if I want street fashion that will look good in New York too, I come to London. The kids here all have this unique style. Joe: But they can not afford designer prices.Tanya: In London the fashion tends to start on the streets. It gets popular among the kids, and then the designers come and pick up on their style, turn it into designer clothes. Whereas in Paris or Milan, it is more of a top-down process(从上至下的过程).Janet: Top-down?Tanya: Sure. The big name designers create these wonderful clothes but they are really only for a few rich people.Joe: So you think it is different in London?Tanya: I sure do. And. if you ask me, New York as well. Anyway, you ready? Joe: Sure. Why not? Janet?Janet: Well…Oh well, it is getting late. So, I suppose so.Tanya: OK, follow me .Let us get a cab.Conversation2 P27-6选择题答案 bdabcPassage1Presenter: How often do you change your clothes during the day?Penny: Um I think it all depends on what I’m going to do. Um it might be as many as three times if…Presenter: Three times.Penny: Yes, if I was … if I was going to go to gym, for instance, having dropped the children off at school I’d be wearing an outfit一套服装 for…just a 1.casual休闲的 outfit for doing the school run, then I’d go to gym and get changed and then if I was going out in the evening I’d change again. Presenter: Yeah. How about you?Penny: Yeah, I think it depends what happens during the day. Most of the time though I just put on my clothes for work. I go to work I come home. Um maybe take something off, like er my shoes and change into a pair of 2.slippers 拖鞋 or something, just a pair of sneakers 运动鞋. Um but there are times when if I go to gym, like Penny said, or if we are going out, my wife and I are going out for some 3.occasion场合, I have to change into something a little nicer.Presenter: And, and so what would, what would be the occasion when you changed into something nicer? It would be different from a work…？Eric: Yeah like going to someone’s house for dinner or going out for dinner, or going to some kind of event.Presenter: Yeah, yeah. Would that be the same for you?Penny: Definitely当然了. Going to the 4.theatre剧院, um or meeting friends for a drink, yes.Presenter: So you’d always change for a social 5.circumstance情形；环境? Penny: Definitely makes it feel more of an occasion.Presenter: OK, and what about the clothes you are wearing at the moment, how would you know, what made you choose these clothes this morning?Penny: Well I am going for an interview in an hour’s time so I’ve got to look quite smart整洁的；优雅的 and presentable拿得出的；像样的 so that’s why I am looking smarter than I 6.normally通常地 would do in the day. Presenter: I think you have got a head start占得先机 here because you look very presentable.Penny: Ah thank you.Presenter: How about you?Eric: I am able to go to work in fairly casual clothes so you know it’s fairly relaxed, nice and easy, anything I’m comfortable with but as long as it’s clean and boss says it’s alright.Presenter: And so you dress for fort 舒适or do you think you are fashion conscious有意识的as well?Eric: Maybe a little bit fashion conscious yeah. You don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb很显眼 and people make fun of you, you know for some reason, but at the same time you want to have your own bit of individuality 个性.Presenter: I think you are discreetly不显眼地 fashion conscious, would you agree with…？Penny: Yes and another a good 8.trick窍门 I always do is carry my high heels 高跟鞋 in my hand bag and go in my trainers运动鞋 you see, and then I can 9.charge向…冲去 along and jump on the bus and then, and then look…Presenter: And you manage high heels?Penny: Yes once I’m there and haven’t got to move around too much. Presenter: Very impressive令人印象深刻的, very impressive. What do you think your clothes say about your 10.mood心情or your personality? Do you change depending…if you get up in the morning do you put on certain clothes depending on how you feel?Penny: Definitely, yes. If I’m feeling maybe a bit down I do not want to wear black because it’s quite draining精疲力尽的 and also as you get older it’s draining too, so I might put on some warm colors or which um, I don’t know, sort of make your skin look lighter and your eyes 11.sparkle闪烁 a little more. Um I, I change…I would say I have got a lot of different colors clothes according to my mood.Presenter: Yeah, and what about you? Do you change 12.dramatically引人注目地 in the evening when you go out on town on the razz狂欢 you know? Eric: Well not really.

I thought you were meeting with me.Janet: You were late.Andy: Ah, yes. You got me there.Janet: Joe is right you know. You are late quite often.Andy: Ok.Janet: I didn’t know what to do because l didn’t know you were on you way.And Tanya offered me the free tickets and then Joe just turned up.Andy: Oh well. Look, I’m really sorry I didn’t… Oh, I’d better take this. Hi, Andy speaking. Oh, yes of course. Hi, Mr. Pearson. Are we still on for today? It’s the guy we’re meeting today. Yes, we’re already here. Something unexpected has come up. OK, sure，we will have to make another arrangement to meet. That’s fine, no problem. So when would it be convenient for you?I think that’s OK, but can I check my schedule? Can you hold on for a moment, please? He can’t make it this morning. Are we clear this afternoon? Janet: I think so, yes.Andy: That’s OK. Could we make it at 2:30 rather than 2:00? Well, let me think. How about at our local, the Duke of York? Would that be OK with you?... Sure, no problem. See you this afternoon. Bye!Janet: What’s he coming to talk about?Andy: The city. The financial capital of the world… Next to New York, of course. I’d better tell Joe about th e change of plan.Conversation2Janet: So what does the world high finance have to do with our website? Joe: Well, I thought we could do something on the Bank of England Museum- It’s really quite interesting.Janet: So who exactly is Tim Pearson?Joe: He works there and he’s coming along today to plan our interview and a tour round museum.Janet: So we’re not actually doing any firming?Andy: No. Just asking more about the Bank and the museum.Tim: Hi.Joe: Hi, Tim.Andy: Hi, Tim.Janet: Hi, I’m Janet.Tim: Hi, Janet. Right, so where do you want to begin?Joe: I’ve got a plan of the museum. Can we go through it with you? Tim: Fine. Basically, the Bank of England Museum tells the story of the Bank of England. There’s also a collectio n of Bank notes and gold bars. Andy: Any free samples?Tim: Sorry, no chance! Now, you come in here on the left, past the museum shop. Then the first room you enter is a reconstruction of a late 18th century banking hall.Janet: And moving through to this room, on the top right hand site? Tim: That’s the story of the early years at the Bank from when it was founded in 1964.Janet: What about this room on the left?Tim: That’s the bank’s collection of silver goods, a pile of gold bars. And this room here below contains a description of how the modern economy works.Janet: So is our paper money always backed by its value in gold?Tim: Yes, the notes they gave or received were originally receipts for the loans in gold. But gradually these paper receipts replaced the gold and became bank notes.Janet: So is the Bank independent or controlled by the government?Tim: The Bank was given its independence in 1997.Janet: And why didn’t the Bank help the economy during the credit crunch in 2008?Tim: Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain…Andy: Take your time, Tim, we’d really like to know.Tim: Well, uh…Conversation2 P39-5选择题答案 bcdacPassage1Presenter: With me today is Tara Black, author of The History of Money. Tara, before we had money, we exchanged交换things, didn’t we?Tara: Yes, that’s right. In the Stone Age, people exchanged things like salt or 1.cattle牛. But of course the problem is that the things you exchange don’t last持久. And so money was introduced as a more 2.permanent永久的way ofpaying for things. And of course, money’s also a lot easier to use. You can carry it around with you very easily.Presenter: So when did people start changing from exchanging goods to paying for things with money?Tara: Well, as far back as 5000 BC, people in China and the Middle East were exchanging 3.metals金属 for goods.Presenter: As long ago as that?Tara: Yes. The first silver银ingots金银铸块、锭…Presenter: Silver bars条? Tara: Yes, they appeared around 2200BC in Europe and were used as 4.currency货币. Coins then appeared in Lydia around 700 BC. Presenter: Lydia?Tara: Lydia is a country in what’s now known as Turkey土耳其. Then other countries followed their example and started 5.producing制造them. A Greek 希腊的coin, the drachma德拉克马，希腊原货币单位, became the 6.standard标准的form of money in large parts of Asia and Europe.Presenter: And the first paper money?Tara: Paper money was first used in china around 960 AD.Presenter: It’s always China, isn’t it?Tara: Quite often, yes.Presenter: So as well as being long-lasting持久的；耐用的and 7.convenient 方便的, a big advantage of coins and paper money is that they have a standard value标准价值.Tara: Yes, they’re known as 8.representative代表的money. Every coin or paper has a certain value that doesn’t depend on the 9.actual实际的value of the paper or metal.Presenter: And how did banks started?Tara: Both the early Persians波斯人and the Ancient Egyptians埃及人had storehouses仓库where they kept their country’s grain粮食- we’re talking about 3000 BC. They exchanged the grain for promissory note期票；约定支付的票据. This 10.meant意味着 a written promise to pay back a 11.sum金额of money to someone. Really, these storehouses can be seen as the first banks.Presenter: I see.Tara: So over a great many centuries banks became places where money was 12.deposited存and lent贷. And they 13.guaranteed保证that a note票据of a certain value could be exchanged for a certain amount of silver. Presenter: And then there was the gold standard金本位, wasn’t there? Tara: Yes, the gold standard was 14.applied应用 all over the world from 1870 to 1915 but it was slowly 15.abandoned抛弃.Presenter: When did it become easier…Unit 5 Gender studiesConversation1Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis. Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert! Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）?Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting compliments?Janet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better. Andy: Don’t you believe it!Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.Andy: Not only that, but I think yo u’d make a really TV presenter. Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here. Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信） you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.Andy: Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cookgreat food!Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managers?Andy: OK, it’s a good point. I think that m any women manage to get middle management jobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.Janet: What’s the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的） barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.Conversation2Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceiling?Andy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.Janet: It not fair.Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.Janet: That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.Andy: And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women. Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing. Andy: You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially? Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And there are plenty of women’s footbal l teams!Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!Janet: I give up. What else has changed?Andy: I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet y ou it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home.Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.Andy: Anyway, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course.Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bri ng it back to football! Andy: And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.Conversation2 P51-5选择题答案bccabPassage1Presenter: Has feminism女权主义，男女平等主义gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements? Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as 1.stupid愚蠢的 or weak?Speaker 1: 2.Definitely当然, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that 3.annoys使恼火；生气 me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it was one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole 4.attitude态度 now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.Speaker 2: Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of 5.progress进步 in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as 6.inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are 7.portrayed描绘 in advertisements.Speaker 3: Has feminism gone too far in advertisements? No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real 8.equality平等 of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as 9.objects。

Pre-listening discussion: Say names of animals you know Insects: bees, wasps, ants, termites, flies, butterflies… Carnivores: tigers, lions, leopards, wolves… Other animals: apes, monkeys, …
来源于拉丁文caro，“flesh”。carnal肉欲的，好色的；carnalism寻欢作乐的纵欲主义，是贪图肉体的享受；carnivore中字根vore指“吃”所以carnivore指肉食动物。herbivore食草动物； folivore食叶动物。甚至连carnation康乃馨，大多也是粉红色，肉色的。至于大家熟悉的carnival 狂欢节，现在又翻译为“嘉年华”（根据该词粤语读音直译），过去是指在天主教为期40天的大斋戒来临前，人们聚在一起狂啃肉的情景。从字面上理解，拉丁文carne vale相当于英语flesh，farewell，相当于中文 “别了，肉（所以现在让我赶紧吃几口）”。

新发展大学英语《听力教程4》参考答案

各位老师：学生反映在网络教学平台胡“大学英语资源”下载到的《听力教程4》答案为老版本，现在这里有新版本的答案，请参考如下：Unit One Urban Life or Rural LifeⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 2There are positive effects and negative effects of living in the suburbs.●Positive effects:1. The air might be cleaner.2. There are more trees and less traffic congestion.3. You’ll probably have a garden.●Negative effects:1. Most people drive more and walk less.2. You’ll have little time for cooking and thus rely heavily on junk food.■ ScriptIn the suburbs the air might be cleaner, as there are more trees and less traffic congestion. Better still you’ll probably have a garden, which most inner-city dwellers don’t. Gardening is a healthy activity for you, and your children have the chance to play outside every day. This is a lot better for them than playing computer games all day because there is nowhere to go.The disadvantages of living in the suburbs are the flip side of the city advantages. Most people living in the suburbs end up driving more and walking less, as nothing is particularly close. This leads to weight gain and general lack of fitness. Those medium sized journeys that suburb dwellers need to do could be done on a bicycle, although this is not always practical or even possible.A less obvious effect of having to commute is little time for cooking. If a considerable portion of your time is spent getting to and from work, it is tempting to rely heavily on junk food, ready meals and takeaways. None of these is very healthy and too many can lead to obesity and the associated health problems.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C2. B3. C4. C5. A6. C7. A8. C9. D 10.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the conversation?5. What time will the woman come to have a look at the apartment?Task 3 Understanding PassagesPassage OneListening for general comprehension1. Two2. B; AListening for specific information1. B2. D3. C4. D5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionSam and Mabel Brown wish they lived on a farm. If they had a farm, they could raise animals and produce their own food. It is hard work, but Mr. and Mrs. Brown would enjoy the peace and quiet of living in the country. And they could spend more time with their children. Linda could have her own horse, and Jimmy could go hunting and fishing with his father. On the other hand, if the Browns left the city, Jimmy and Linda would miss their friends. The Browns almost bought a farm several months ago, but it wasn’t what they expected. Nowadays, it’s hard to find a good piece of farmland at a reasonable price.Elmer and Sarah Barton have lived on a farm all their lives, and it hasn’t been easy. In 1998 their house burned down. That year they had lost most of their corn and wheat crops because of bad weather. Sarah Barton thinks it would be better if they moved to the city. Elmer could get a job working in his brother’s supermarket, and she could open a bakery. She makes wonderful cakes and pies. If Elmer and Sarah moved to the city, they would make new friends and go out more often. But they would probably miss their farm. After all, it’s the only life they have ever known.Listening for specific information1. What is Sam and Mabel’s wish?2. What would Jimmy do if the Browns realized their dream?3. What happened to Elmer and Sarah Barton in 1998?4. What do we know about Elmer and Sarah Barton according to the passage?5. What is the purpose of using the stories of two families in the passage?Passage TwoListening for general comprehension1. A C D H2. B E F GListening for specific information1. A2. C3. B4. C5. B■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionAmerican houses usually have private kitchens, a living room and sometimes separate areas for eating and watching television. A house usually has its own mailbox, a yard with plants or perhaps a lawn, and a place to store garbage out of sight.An apartment is usually one living space within a building. Several apartments can be in the same building, with a shared yard and parking spaces. A town house is a two-floor apartment. The kitchen, living room and dining room are usually on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second floor.Most Americans are happy to talk about their homes. And if they’ve done anything special in their home, they’ll let you know what it was, and maybe tell you what it cost. Most Americans live in cities, but nearly as many live in the suburbs. Suburban America has shopping centers called malls. Most of the houses in the suburbs are one or two storeys tall, with private yards and gardens and garages. There are few tall buildings in th e suburbs. Cities have neighborhoods, “warehouse” stores, and public transportation is usually pretty good. Private houses might only have a back yard, and if there is a garage it probably is small. Cities have a lot of apartment buildings and some tall bu ildings may seem to “scrape the sky”, so they are called “skyscraper s”.Listening for specific information1. What does an American house usually have according to the passage?2. What are the characteristics of a town house?3. What is most Americans’ attitude towards talking about their homes?4. What do we know about the houses in the suburbs according to the passage?5. According to the passage, what do we know about the tall buildings in the cities?Passage ThreeListening for general comprehension1. opportunities2. lifestylesListening for specific information1. C2. B3. B4. D5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionNowadays, more and more people, especially the young people, decide to live in large cities. The main factor is that cities offer many opportunities. First of all, young people can attend the best universities there and get good education which increases their chances to find employment in good companies. Besides, large modern cities provide limitless sources of entertainment. Young people can socialize in cafes, pubs, clubs or discos. Moreover, they can enjoy shopping in large shopping centers or department stores. All of these charms and attractions of the city are appealing to young people, however, when they start their own families they usually start missing peacefulness of country life. As they become older, people are tired with the stressful city life and often decide to move outside the city.Obviously, living in the country has many advantages. First of all, countryside is not polluted, therefore, you can breathe fresh air. Besides, there is hardly any road traffic, thus you can enjoy silence. You can also relax and go for a nice walk in the forest or in the meadows. What is more important, people can grow their own fruit and vegetables which are healthier than those you can buy in the greengrocer’s in the city.All things considered, it is obvious that the two lifestyles have their advantages and disadvantages. Some people find cities more exciting and appealing than the countryside but others prefer the beauty and peace of the countryside. The choice where to live depends on every person’s character and preferences.Listening for specific information1. What can young people get from the best universities in the cities?2. According to the passage, where can young people socialize?3. When do people begin missing peacefulness of country life according to the passage?4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT mentioned asan advantage of living in the countryside?5. How do people decide where to live according to the passage?Task 4 Compound Dictation1. changed2. estimate3. experts4. quality5. released6.settlements7. permanent 8.surrounding9. The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups10.the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life11. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious ■ ScriptFifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent estimate from the United Nations.City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this processof urbanization. A new report from the Worldwatch Institute says it is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the environment. The environmental research group in Washington released its 2007State of the World report last week.Of the three billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about one billion live in unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing. The report says that more than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries.The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups. For example, it says Freetown, Sierra Leone, has established farming within the city limits to meet much of its growing food demands. In Colombia, engineers have created a bus system in Bogota that the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life.Olav Kjorven heads the Environment and Energy Group at the United Nations Development Program. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious.But he says governments also need to consider why people are moving out of rural areas. Climate change, drought, floods there are many reasons forcing people to leave, he says.Ⅳ. Listening Skills for Long Conversations (Ⅰ)19. D 20. C 21. B 22. C■ ScriptW: Good evening, and welcome to this week’s Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established a bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours?M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the woman doing?20.

Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 21. commit; rosy2. negative; failed3. considerate; criticize■ ScriptIn a proactive-love situation, you commit to keeping the fires of love burning, not expecting them to burn of their own accord. You know it will not be easy. But because you care, you are ready to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes. You believe in your partner, and you believe in love. You know that love is not the rosy feeling, which comes and goes without notice. It is a commitment, through thick and thin, independent of your feelings. Rather than wait to receive love, you give it first. And in selfless sowing you reap a harvest bigger than your seed.However, if reactive love is your style, your negative seeds will grow in every relationship you have, possibly causing a cycle of failed relationships.Regarding relationships, we could restate this law thus: Your relationship isthe harvest of the seeds YOU have sown. Therefore, to change your relationship, you must start by changing YOU, not your partner! If you want it better, become a better person. Be more considerate. Be more tolerant. Listen more. Criticize less. Give only what you would like to receive.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C2. C3. D4. B5. C6. D7. D8. C9. C 10. B■ Script1.

Why do most people like to make friends with someone different from themselves?5. Which of the following statements is true?Task 3 Understanding PassagesPassage OneListening for general comprehension1. This passage is mainly about how to love yourself2. Three waysListening for specific information1. C2. A3. D4. B5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionMost of us long for relationships in which we are loved and accepted just the way we are. However, we can have such relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselves—and, strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all.Do you love yourself? There’s only one way to find out—by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. If you’re really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work.Here are three ways for gaining greater personal insight for deeper love. Firstly, listen closely to your thoughts. Your thoughts will determine your actions. A journal or a notebook can help record various insights you gain as you go about your life. It will help you know what’s in your heart. Secondly, be honest with yourself. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself. Thirdly, take quiet time to listen to your inner voice. Sometimes you may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. The key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. It’s hard to find quiet ti me during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.Listening for specific information1. Which of the following is the hardest relationship of all?2. What will determine your actions according to the passage?3. What can make a difference in your life?4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?5. Which of the following is the key to having love with no limits?Passage TwoListening for general comprehensionThis passage is about showing our brotherly loveListening for specific information1. B2. D3. B4. D5. D■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionMost of us participate in some activities and organizations and give our time and money to help others. We are showing our brotherly love for others, but it is not quite the same as giving the love in person. Ways that we can share brotherly love in person are varied. When I see young people holding the door for an elderly person, or someone helping a lady put her groceries in the car, or even a scout who helps a woman cross the street, I realize that they are taking their time to share brotherly love personally. Many people collect food and clothing for the poor. Otherpeople participate in some programs where Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are provided for those in need, as well as Christmas presents for the less fortunate.This famous quotation “Though we can give without loving, it is almost impossible to love without giving.” was said by a French philosopher. When we do good deeds that help our fellow man, we are showing love. We are often told to “love our neighbors”. We should neither feel indifferent to those who need help nor let our egos stand in the way of helping them. There are many occasions when we can sympathize with those less fortunate and we are capable of giving them our generosity. Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love but every town that has people who care and help those less fortunate is also “cities of brotherly love”. Listening for specific information1. According to the passage, which is NOT the way to share brotherly love in person?2. Which of the following program of showing brotherly love is NOT mentioned in thepassage?3. Which of the following is NOT true about the quotation “Though we can give withoutloving, it is almost impossible to love without giving.”?4. Which of the following deeds should be forbidden according to the passage?5. Which city is known as the city of brotherly love?Passage ThreeListening for general comprehension1. This passage is mainly about the influence of parents’ love to children’s development2. The importance of mothers’ love seems to drop out altogether in some of the analyses Listening for specific information1. A2. B3. D4. D5. D■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionA father’s love—or the lack of it—contributes as much to the development of a child’s personality and behavior as the love of a mother, according to researchers. In some respects, they add, a father’s love is even more influential.Probably the most important and most surprising finding of all is that the importance of mothers’ love seems to drop out altogether in some of the analyses.The researchers reviewed almost 100 U.S. and European studies investigating the effects of parenting on the psychology and behavior of children as they grew older. The earliest study was conducted in 1949, and the most recent was completed in 2001.They report that the degree of acceptance or rejection a child receives—and perceives—from his or her father appears to affect his or her development as deeply as the presence or absence of a mother’s love.They note that the withholding of love by either the mother or the father is equally connected to a child’s lack of self-esteem, emotional instability, withdrawal, depression and anxiety. And the risk of developing problems with aggression, drug and alcohol abuse was equally related to a child’s rejection or acceptance by either parent.The investigators also found that having the love and nurturing of either parent has an equally positive effect on a child’s happiness, well-being and social and academic success from early childhood through young adulthood.Listening for specific information1. According to the researchers, whose love is even more influential in some respects?2. How many U.S. and European studies have investigated the effects of parenting onthe psychology and behavior of children?3. When was the earliest study on the effect of parenting conducted?4. If a child is rejected by either parent, which of the following problems is NOTmentioned in this passage?5. In which aspect can love from either parent have equally positive effect onchildren?Task 4 Compound Dictation1. golden2. meaning3. sense4. Owing5. pressures6. supposed7. humanity8. grasp9. campus love is just to find a partner to get rid of loneliness and boredom and enjoy happiness10. Therefore, “love passionately today, break up tomorrow” is understandable11. we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfectperson perfectly■ ScriptCollege years are considered to be the golden time for love. But I wonder whether college students know the true meaning of love. Many students don’t, they believe that happiness is just a sense of loving and being loved.Each love course can be unique as each person is unique. Owing to different family backgrounds and pressures, everyone has his own history and future, and personal character. And love is supposed to find our weakness, deficiencies and the true colors of humanity, to grow mature by learning, to grasp the true meaning of life, and to learn to free ourselves and requite others’ love in the process of courting.However, the majority of college students believe that campus love is just to find a partner to get rid of loneliness and boredom and enjoy happiness. Yes, if both of the two are of mature mentality and strong willingness to love, love can be raised to a higher level─to enjoy happiness. Yet, many college students do not treasure the happiness from love, instead, they are favor of nit-picking their boyfriend or girlfriend and demanding more and more things. Therefore, “love passionately today, break up tomorrow” is und erstandable. In my eyes, these students totally misunderstand the true meaning of love. After all, we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Love is to cultivate ourselves. It is only when we have seen through and perfected ourselves that our love is worthy.Ⅳ. Listening Skills for Long Conversations (Ⅱ)。

Always buy goods from well-known and trustworthy companies. Deal with companies which offer customer service, a complaints procedure and have a refund policy.Talk to merchant. E-mail and wait for reponses. Take down the addresses and phone numbers of those companies and make sure they are real by calling them up before buying any products and services.Ensure secure connection. Since buyers must submit personal information like number and expiry date of the card there are fears over security. Deal with sites that apply strict safety measures that require shoppers to give specific data known only to card holders before making the transaction.Be extra careful at a cybercafe or other public connection.Part II Net shopping under fireThere is an urgent need for e-commerce rules to boost confidence in buying online. Consumers International, a federation of 245consumer organizations — including the UK's Consumers Association —said its survey showed that there were still obatacles to shopping online with complete trust.The study, funded by the European Union, involved buying more than 150 items from 17 countries. Each consumer organization taking part tried to find one site in its own country and one abroad to buy a selection of items. These included a dictionary, a doll, jeans, a hairdryer, computer software and hardware, chocolates and champagne.The key findings were:Eight of the items ordered took more than a month to reach their destination and at least 11 (eight percent) never arrived.Many sites did not give clear information about delivery charges.Only 13% of the sites promised that they would not sell customers' personal information on to a third party.Only 53% of the companies had a policy on returning goods.Only 65% of the sites provided confirmation of the order and only 13% told customers when their goods had been dispatched.In two cases,customers are still waiting for their money back more than four months after returning their goods.Louis Sylvan, vice-president of Consumers International, said, "This study shows that, although buying items over the Internet can benefit the consumer by offering convenience and choice, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome before consumers can shop in cyberspace with complete trust."Chris Philips, Marketing Manager at a London based e-commerce security company commented, "This study confirms the difficulties of establishing consumers' trust in the Internet as a shopping experience. With statistics like these and Visa claiming 47% of disputes and fraud cases were Internet-related, it is little wonder that Internetcommerce is not producing the profits predicted two or three years ago. Trust takes time to build, and the Internet will not mature as a retail channel until trusted brands, like the banks for example, start to offer ways of supporting trust relationships with guarantees payment and service."In September, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development will hold a meeting to discuss a set of international guidelines for electronic commerce.Part III Banking at homeMany people dislike walking to the bank, standing in long lines, and running out of checks. They are dissatisfied with their bank's limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night, and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home, any hour of the day, any day of the week.Many banks are preparing "online branches," or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically, and even e-mail questions to the bank.Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep —people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology asthey move into the twenty-first century.Online banking may not be appropriate for everyone. For instance, many people do not have computers at home. Other people prefer to go to the bank and handle their accounts the traditional way. Even though online banking may never completely replace a walk-in bank, it is a service that many customers are going to want to use.Part IV More about the topic: Secret of Good Customer Service In Britain they ask you, "Are you being served?" Whilst in America they tell you to "Have a nice day." But what is the secret of good customer service? From Harrods in London and Saks New York, we're going to find out the dos and don'ts of selling protocol.The reason that Harrods has been so successful over a hundred and fifty years is two fold. First of all they've offered their customers the products they want to buy in a pleasant environment. But secondly and more importantly, the level of customer service that they've given their customers, before sale, during sale and after sale, has been second to none. I think it's fair to say that if you compare the British with our cousins elsewhere in the world that we are actually quite a reserved lot. To a certain extent there are a lot of shrinking violets in this country who would rather just do their own thing. They'd rather wander around and browse and if they do need any help eventually, ask for it. So I think the way that we approach our own U.K. based customers is actually slightly different to the way we know we need to approach. For example, an American customer, or indeed a Japanese customer, or a Middle Eastern customer, who all have different ways of doing things.Well in serving different, I guess, nationalities, you do take very different approaches. With Europeans, for example, you do kind of let them take a look at everything. See what's being on offer and then ask them if they need any help. I think they'd probably much moreprefer to come to you, rather than you so much to go to them. The American customer very much expects you to go to them, approach them, show them alternatives. Well I think maybe the more European or British customer can be almost turned off by that if someone is seen to be too aggressive, maybe too anxious to make a sale.It's most important that the first contact, the first initial meeting with the customer is a good and successful one because on that basis, the customer will make up their mind what they want to do next.I quite like the English sales assistants because they definitely have better thing to do than talk to you, which I like. It's very terrifying when you go to America. "Can I help you?" they're like licking you. You're just like, "No, I'm fine. I just want to look." That puts me off. I love the English sales assistant.So where have you experienced the very best in customer service?Umm, probably America. In terms of best as in, they give you so much attention it's almost embarrassing. They treat you, you know, the "have a nice day" thing. They' want to help you. They want you to buy, 'cause they often work on a commission basis. That's if you like best. But I prefer the ... like, being ignored.Tamara:I think England's still way behind in terms of, like America for example. I can call in America from London and they'll track the item down. It's not like, "Sorry madam we don't have that in your size."I just got the Gucci boots, which mine had actually broken. And in England they said, "Sorry" you know, that's it. So this woman in Los Angeles tracked them down and, in fact got them for me. That's because they work on commission. And the sooner we learn that, the better the service will get.So what do the Americans have to say? They may speak with adifferent accent. But is the sales pitch a foreign language to the rest of the world?I think part of the reason Americans are known as experts is that we tend to focus a lot more in the human side of selling, not the mechanical side, which is the register and knowing about the product. We really want to know about your lifestyle. We want to know about your family. We want to know about your income. We want to know about your occasions in your life. And that's very different outside of the United States. Our consumer actually is comfortable with forming a partnership with a sales associate and giving up that information, very personal information, very personal information. I think that best part about Saks sales associate training that we actually develop customers, five different types of customers and we videotape them and put them up in front of every new sales associate and say, "This is our customers." They're very different. Each one of them is a top customer at Saks but they shop in a very different way. A lot of stores in this industry really measure selling effectiveness by sales and quite frankly that's not what Saks is about. I think the way you measure good quality staff is by repeat business. Obviously if you have someone on your selling floor that has a clientele, that is the measure of a good sales associate.Part V Do you know…?"Everybody loves a bargain, "this is a common American saying.A bargain is something you buy for less than its true vale. It is something you might not buy if it costs more.One person's useless ugly object can be another person's bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a "for sale" sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you thinkare extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked $10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusertts. He paid $125 for what everyone thought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachusetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jardere learnt the war club was valued at about $150 000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1. Which of the following is a common American saying?2. What can be sold at a yard sale?3. Why do people go to a yard sale?4. When was the old wooden club stolen?5. What was the real value of the club?6. Why was the club at a great value?Unit 2 Hotel or B&BPart I Getting readyB.

A: What proportion of tourists take their own car?B: Well, in an average year about 20% of tourists take their own car, but this year about 30% are taking their own car. A: Thank you very much for your help.C.C:… so here's a brochure with the hotels in Midford. It gives you all the rates …T:I'm sorry, my English isn't so good. Can you explain this to me?C:Yes, of course. First of all we have the Castle Inn … here …it's the cheapest. It will cost you only ￡12 for a single room and ￡15 for a double. The price includes continental breakfast. If you want a full English breakfast you'll have to pay extra …T:What is this "English breakfast"?C:Oh, you know, hot food: fried egg, fried bacon, porridge …whereas the continental breakfast is coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey — nothing cooked, you see.T:I think I would prefer the continental breakfast.C:Well, yes, that's included. And then we have the Dalton Hotel, more expensive, but very nice, a bathroom attached to every room. The Dalton charges ￡30 for a single room and ￡60 for a double. But there is no charge for children under 12 who stay in the same room as their parents.T:I won't have my children with me. But maybe my husband will come a little later …C:Well, the Park Hotel is very reasonably priced. ￡16 per person. Every room has a bath. There's a special rate of ￡25 which includes dinner, bed and breakfast — what we call half board. Or you can have full board, that's the room plus all meals for ￡29 per person per night.T:We would only want breakfast.C:I see. Mm … you could try the fourth hotel here, the Phoenix. It will cost you ￡28 for a double room with bath. Breakfast is ￡5 per person.T:Yes. But what about the extra money, what do you call it in English, the service...C:All these rates include a service charge of 10%. They also include VAT - that's Value Added Tax.T:If we come later in the year will it be cheaper?C:Yes. These are the rates for June to September. You would pay less at other times of the year.T:I'll talk about it with my husband. Thank you for explaining everything to me.C:You're very welcome.Part II A touch of homeBev Rose is a very good hostess. She tells the guests in her home there are sodas in the refrigerator, snacks in the kitchen, and videos next to the TV.But Rose's guests aren't out-of-town family or friends. Her guests are from all over the world. Rose's house is like a small hotel. It is called a bed and breakfast or B&B for short. The name of Rose's B&B is Suits Us.Rose and her husband have joined a growing number of people who are operating B&Bs in their homes. B&Bs offer the charm, comfort, and hospitality that is often missing in big hotels. That's why there are many people who would rather stay at a B&B than a hotel when they travel.There are about 15 000 B&Bs across the U.S. Each year they welcome millions of visitors. And the number is increasing. "I think guests are looking for the personal touch," said Pat Hardy, the director of the American Bed and Breakfast Association. "In a B&B, you don't have a room number. The owner knows who you are and helps you enjoy your trip," Hardy said. Travelers often want more than just a place to sleep. They like B&Bs because the owner takes a personal interest in them.Rose said one of the best things about owning a B&B is meetingall the different people. She loves watching the guests meet each other for the first time at breakfast. "It's really fun to stand in the kitchen and talk with my guests. Even though most of them have just met for the first time, the conversations at the breakfast table are really interesting and lively."Many B&Bs are older homes with interesting histories. Suits Us was built in 1883. The rooms are filled with antiques and 19th-century decorations. The Roses rent three of the upstairs bedrooms to guests. Every room at Suits Us has its own personality. The Roses have named several of the rooms for previous guests. For example, one of the rooms is named the Woodrow Wilson Room because the former U.S. President stayed there. Another room is called the Annie Oakley Room because the famous cowgirl was once a guest there.Bed and breakfasts aren't for everyone. Some people aren't comfortable staying in someone else's home. And other people don't care for the personal interaction. But for a quiet, romantic place to stay, many people are checking into bed and breakfasts instead of hotels. Once people have stayed in a B&B, they often find it hard to go back to hotels.Part III Renting a carA:Good afternoon. U-Drive-It rentals. May I help you?C:Hi, yeah. I'm interested in, uh, renting a car for the weekend, and I'm wondering if you have a special weekend rate?A:Yes, we do. [Mm-hmm.] Uh …what sort of car were you interested in?C:Well, we're a family of three and we have camping equipment. Now, I'm used to driving a small car, but I might need something a little larger because of the family and, uh …all the equipment that we have. A:Well, um … I could suggest a compact car for/to you.[Mm-hmm.] Some of our compacts have … have large trunks, [OK.] or, uh …Oh, better yet, why not a small station wagon? [Oh, good.] Um …all our cars are current models and, uh, have automatic transmission.C:Oh, well, I'm used to driving a standard, but I guess there's no problem with automatic transmission.A:No, no. If you can drive a standard you can drive an automatic. [Mh-hmm.] Uh, now, listen, when were you … uh … interested in …in renting this?C:Uh, well, we'll be leaving on a Friday, that's the …let's see, that's Friday, July 7th, and then returning on the Monday. That would be the tenth.A:Mm-hmm. Well, let's see … uh … we have … uh … Oh! We have a Pinto station wagon for those dates. [Mm-hmm. Good.] Um … yeah, I think … I think that's your best bet.C:OK. Uh … well, then when would we have to pick up the car and when would we have to return the car to get that special weekend rate?A:Well, for the weekend rate you have to pick up the car after four o'clock on Friday afternoon [Uh-huh.] and then return it by ten o'clock on Monday morning.C:After four on Friday and returning by ten o'clock on Monday morning. [Mm-hmm.] OK. What … uh … uh, what would be the price for that?A:OK, now, our … our regular rate is seventy-nine ninety-five. [Ooh!] but the special weekend rate w…you can get that for fifty-nine ninety-five. [Oh, Great.] Um …now the first three hundred miles are free, [Mm-hmm…] after that it's twelve cents per mile.C:Oh, so it's twelve cents a mile extra after the first three hundred miles?A:That's right.C:OK. Uh …do you have any …um …rentals with unlimited mileage?A:Well, we do, but you can't get that special weekend rate.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, then does the fifty-nine ninety-five - that was the rate, right? [Mm-hmm.] — does that include insurance?A:No … um … the insurance is ten dollars more, but I really recommend it.C:Yeah.A:OK, now there's a … there's a sales tax of eight percent, [Mm-hmm…] and … um … you have to return the car with a full tank of gas. [Uh-huh.] Also, we require a deposit of a hundred dollars.C:Oh boy. It sure adds up!A:Well, our rates are still the lowest in town.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, I tell you what. I'd like to think about it, if that's right, and then I'll call you back…uh…A:Sure, that's fine. Uh, listen, when you …when you do call back, ask for Doug. That's me.C:OK. Well, thanks a lot. Doug. Goodbye.A:Take care.Part IV More about the topic: What Type of Room Do You Want?S: If the terms are favorable, we could come to an arrangement for regular accommodation. Now, I wanted to discuss the types of room with you, and rates for their use.M:Certainly. The rates I’ll quote to you first of all are what we call "rack rates" , that is the normal rates quoted to the public. But obviously we would discuss a discount rate for you. Now, as regards the rooms, they are all of a very high standard. All our rooms have central heating. Most of them are with bathroom, and they all have a washbasin and a toilet.S:That sounds fine. Can you tell me about your single rooms?M:Yes. Our single rooms are very comfortable, and the rates are very reasonable. I think you'd find them suitable for visiting staff of all grades. The rack rate is ￡40 a night.S: ￡40 a night …M:Yes. Or for real economy, let's suppose you have a sales conference. You could double up your sales staff and put them into twin rooms. That would work out very cheaply. The normal rate is ￡55 per twin or double room per night.S: Well, we might consider that possibility. But we also have some quite important visitors sometimes. Have you any really special accommodation we can offer them?M: Well, suppose you have visiting managerial staff. For something more luxurious, we can offer our Delphos Suite. It's delightful, and convenient for entertaining private guests. It has its own private terrace where guests can sit outside and enjoy the view over the lake …S: That sounds most attractive …M: The normal rate is ￡150 per night …S: ￡150.M: …but for total luxury, the finest accommodation of any hotel in this area, I can recommend our Bella Vista Penthouse. From the balcony, there's a magnificent view over the whole countryside.S: Oh, lovely.M: It has a bedroom connecting to a large sitting room, with a separate study, a bathroom, and a fully-fitted kitchen. It combines total luxury with total privacy. For example, if your Company Director and his wife wanted to stay for a few days it would be ideal.S: And the rate?M: The normal rate would be ￡220 a night.Part V Do you know…?Five U.S. hotels were voted among the world's top ten, with the Halekulani in Honolulu ranking first, a survey of Gourmet magazine readers released last Friday said.Coming in second was the Oriental, in Bangkok, Thailand, followed by Villa d'Este, Cernobbio, Italy; The Regent Hong Kong, and Hotel Ritz, Paris.The Greenbriar, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia ranked No. 8. The 10th-ranked hotel was the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, in Charlestown, Nevis, West Indies.More than 150 hotels, resorts and inns in 27 countries and regions were ranked in general and specific categories that rated such things as dining, bars, pools, workout centers and romantic atmosphere. This is the third year that Gourmet, which has more than 5 million readers, has conducted the survey.Another U.S. hotel, the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, topped the list for restaurant dining, beating out the Connaught in London, Italy's Villa d'Este and Bangkok's the Oriental. The Four Seasons in Philadelphia was No. 5.In the specific category of best business hotels, the Regent Hong Kong ranked first as it has for the past three years. In other categories, Paris' Hotel Ritz with its Roman thermal baths was voted to have the best pools and The Green- briar in West Virginia was found to have the best workout center, golf and tennis.Unit 3 “Planting” MoneyPart I Getting readyC.
