(B)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONSConversation1 (Dr. Scott and Thomas Hunt talk about a man called Martin.)M 1: Dr. Scott, I have had some problems since my father died and left me all his money. Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true!Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Who was Martin?2. According to Martin, who did Thomas' father leave his money to?3. What did Thomas and his father argue about?4. How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5.

Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker. And... and I use them for finding my way in the dark and...and for finding the keyhole late at night. And... and I happen to collect lighters.M: I bet you do, madam.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows,external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency? W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff’s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I’m talking about principles like “Mental Visualization”, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id “Association”a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you’re familiar with?W: Right on! ‘Consolidation”is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I’ve already learned.M: You’re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I’m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That’s not the way. Follow the principle of “Distributes Practice”.Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you’ve got a good memory. But what about me? I’ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You’re too modest. There’s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is likea muscle; it needs exercise. And don’t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one’s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one’s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “Distributed Practice”, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, “Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?”Before the man left, she added, “Why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”“Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I’d like some strawberries on it. You’d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.”“Don’t be silly,” replied the husband. “There’re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!”With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, “Hey, you forget the toast!”Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don’t try tomemorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don’t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person’s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What’s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one’s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I’m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‘re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that’s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I’m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I’d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there’s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It’s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one’s ability to concentrate. Also, one’ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, “This is Don Smith”.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that “this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can’t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your “memory bank”each time you hear someone’s name, and within a short time the “repeating” process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that “ties in “with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the “picture” in your mind’s eye as you look at the name; or when you see hename, visualize the “picture” you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man’s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The “Dolphins on Parade” exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists’ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。

Listening InPage 20Keys: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the finalexamination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‟s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‟s message”.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?10.What is the main idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 29Task 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A”so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn‟t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn‟t have a spare, and couldn‟t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Uint3III. Listening InPage 35Keys: 1C 2.A3. B 4.B 5.BTask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.” There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I‟m glad you didn‟t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.11.What was the speaker most afraid of?12.Which of the following is NOT true?13.What did the speaker‟s colleague say?14.Which of the following is true?15.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done? VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 42Task 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20thcentury, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children‟s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company‟s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Uint4III. Listening InPage 49Keys: 1C 2.C3. B 4.A 5.DTask3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in theadvertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16.What is the passage mainly concerned with?17.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?18.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?19.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”20.What should you say when asked about your strong points?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 58Task 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewScriptWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It‟s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it‟s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it‟s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won‟t be the end of the world if you don‟t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it‟s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It‟s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn‟t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don‟t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you‟d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it‟s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.Uint5Page 64Keys: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it.

Further Listening and SpeakingPage 73Task 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individualcommercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Unit 6Page 80Keys: 1D 2.A 3. B 4.C 5.III. Listening InTask3: Fighting Teen SmokingScriptThe percentage of teens who smoke cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. It‟s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens‟motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won‟t have much effect on teen who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don‟t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that still means morethan one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today‟s young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement.26.What percentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?27.What happened in the 1990s, according to the speaker?

However, official at the United States National Weather Service say EI Nino is weaker than usual this year. EI Nino is a change in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four or five years. Normally, water temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean increase near the end of the year. This cause more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby place. At the same time, cold ocean water cause less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during EI Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America, causing unusually high amounts of rainfall there. In contrast, EI Nino causes dry weather in Indonesia and Australia.A strong EI Nino can severely affect the weather all over the world. The last powerful EI Nino was in 1997 and 1998. It caused major floods in many places. EI Nino also led to extremely dry weather in some other areas. Reports say the weather caused the deaths of about 24,000 people.So experts say having a weaker EI Nino this year is good news. Meteorologists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of EI Nino will begin to show in November in the United States. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say EI Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year‟s powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.31.According to the passage, how often does EI Nino happen?32.What normally happens in the western Pacific Ocean?33.What did the EI Nino in 1997 and 1998 cause?34.What is NOT mentioned as a result of this year‟s EI Nino?35.What is the central idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 107Task 2: Mountain regions face a number of dangers. ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world‟s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world‟s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South Americaare among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year. In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.。

This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woma n adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one,s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned.

The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, “Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?”Before the man left, she added, “Why don,t you write that down so you won't forget?”“Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I'd like some strawberries on it. You,d better write that down because I know your memory is failin g.”“Don,t be silly,” replied the husband. “There,re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries.

The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we ’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager's maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down 'Idon't' know', and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”For Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather thanon the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I ”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.Uint5Chris and Nora are going to a reception.

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he,d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can,t pay you a hundred pounds! ” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge meto dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I,d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you,re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell.

Pamela complains that the government just squanders people's hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lower. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are alreadydirected to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don,t want to work, preferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerScriptIn a bar a guy told the bartender, "I’m a professional gambler; I ’ve made of lots of money from gambling.”The barte nder answered, “I can hardly believe it.

Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency?W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journalthat studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about princi pleslike ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notesright after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new materialinto what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swearthis weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principleof ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind ofwhat is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principleof ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one hasalready learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, thedoctor told them that theywere physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to theol d man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖ “Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖“Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer,learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learnto play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. Theseadded activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, youcan take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think onits various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mindwhile you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then releaseit slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you canthink about a special feature of his face and then link it withhis mane.1. What‘s seems to be an especially important way tostimulate one‘s memory?2. What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3. How can you concentrate on a pen?4.

Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers thingsbetter if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Impro ving One‘s Memory ExamplesCreating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:1.a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If,however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essentialfactor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep alsoplays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, wemust allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise andstore the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according tothe passage?3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4. What problem can a lack of water cause?5. Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple whooften entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. Onthis particular spring night, they have invited a retiredprofessor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while theywere washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong inthe rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, andin addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―tiesin ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye asyou look at the name; or when you see he name, visualizethe ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover theartists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.

Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an importantpart of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖“I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖“Oh, yeah.

He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖“Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A‘sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.A student says, ―Whateve r I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an ac tive reader-one whocontinually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?3.

It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one’s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one’s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.T ask 2: Y ou forget my toast!Keys: FTFFFT ask3: Memory-Improving T echniquesKes: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DV.

They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn’t have a spare, and couldn’t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points.

For Britain’s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm.He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions.Those who took part, called ―volunteers‖, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As one said, ―He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.‖The prince said he liked being treated as an ―equal‖by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime.It seems that there’s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British prince.Uint3II.

Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.T ask3: They are coming for Christmas,For Reference:1.

There’s a new stone market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. Thenew colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New Y ork’s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one’s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably be fully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, ―It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.‖The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying ―Diamonds are forever‖may lose some of its meaning.Uint4II. Basic Listening PracticeKeys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.C 5.BIII.

It’s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it’s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps usfrom obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it’s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won’t be the end of the world if you don’t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence.Y our ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it’s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It’s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn’t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don’t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you’d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it’s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.T ask3: An Interview That Upsets the BossFor Reference1.He lost both of his ears.2.Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after hebought it.3.Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4.He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5.He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersScriptThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pairs?The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the evening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor theOscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come.

When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the ―fishing business‖, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the ―fishing industry‖, which sounds somewhat formal. The word ―trade‖ may serve as an equivalent of both ―business‖ and ―industry‖.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers.

It talks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one’s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one’s notes after class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “Distributed Practice”, which favors shorter study sessions d istributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving Techniques.1.

They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, “This is Don Smith”.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that “this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can’t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your “memory bank” each time you hear someone’s name, and within a short time the “repeating” process can be discontinued When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or acti ons that “ties in “with his or hername. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the “picture” in your mind’s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, v isualize the “picture” you have assigned to the name. Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.

Thank you very much for your time.B: You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.ProblemsResultsEducators just want to give standardized tests. They only focus on academic perf ormance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be aswell-rounded as possible.Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak” stude nts are separated from the rest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.DebateSAMPLEA: Many ads about English classes for children say, “Don’t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.” I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B: It’s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adults usually learn vocabulary and grammar faster.A: You can learn vocabulary and grammar later on; but when you grow up, you can hardly change your pronunciation.B: But if they learn the wrong pronunciation from the beginning? If they don’t learn English when they are young in the right way, it’ll affect their English studiesA: Anyway, some good or “key” schools g ive English tests to kids before admitting them.B: English is important, bur other subjects like Chinese and math ate equally important. If kids spend too much time on English, they have little time left for other subjects.A: Some people say that learning a foreign language can help develop children’s mental abilities such as memory, attention span and concentration, which will e of help in learning other subjects.B: But too much time for studying and too little left for playing, children’s moral and phy sical development will be affected.A: Well, it’s difficult for me to convince you, and vice versa. Let’s agree to disagree.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1001. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rud enstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.6. What is main idea of the passage?7. How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?8. What was the role of religion at Harvard University was during is early years?9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey’s fund-raising program?10. What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DTask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. Theyexplained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on th e way back, didn’t have a spare, and couldn’t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his sepa rate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityScriptInternational students often underestimate the amount of time required to apply for admission to a college or university in the United States. You should avoid this mistake by setting yourself a schedule that starts well in advance of the time you hope to begin your studies. When setting this timetable, always remember that doing things early is the best way forward. To find the institution or program that will best serve your academic or professional goals, allow yourself sufficient time to research thoroughly your options. Then meet the application deadlines of the university to which you apply. These may be as much as 10 months before the school term.The need for an early start holds true even if you can apply on the Internet. University websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests, in time to meet application deadlines. In fact, although some students did score high on TOEFL and GRE, theywere not admitted because they failed to meet the deadline.For Reference:1. They often underestimate the amount of time required.2. They must allow themselves sufficient time to research thoroughly their options3. They may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms.4. They still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests.5. Because they failed to meet the deadline.News ReportPrince William in ChileScriptWhat goes into a prince’s education today? For Britain’s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm.He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions.Those who took par t, called “volunteers”, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As one said, “He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking onthe team spirit.”The prince said he liked being treated as an “equal” by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime.It seems that there’s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British prince.。

What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. Myfriends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.” There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I’m glad you didn’t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.1.What was the speaker most afraid of?2.Which of the following is NOT true?3.What did the speaker’s colleague say?4.Which of the following is true?5.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done?

Let’s TalkScriptIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that’s my story.Remarried is the last thing I’d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife. As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.DebateSAMPLEA: On the whole I don’t support remarriage. Too many remarriages have turned out to be unsuccessful and end in divorce.B:If you say many remarriages have failed, that means other remarriages have survived, or even bloomed. We should not only look at the dark of the issue.A: But ther e’re too many factors contribute to the failure of a second marriage. For example, as you become older, you may find it increasingly difficult to adjust to a different pattern of life with a new mate. Once there’s a conflict neither is willingto give in.B: There’re conflicts everywhere, but you should not neglect that an adult has psychological and physical needs. Without a companion, one may feel lonely and anxious.A: In a new family the husband tends to compare his new wife’s weak point with his ex-wife’s strong point. And the wife does the same.B: I wish you’d seen the film The Sound of Music. The governess Maria blended so smoothly into the Captain’s family.A:It is not easy for children to accept the new mother or father. It is simply impossible for them to forget their birth-mother’s loving care and the happy moments in their childhood.B: But how happy are the Captain’s seven children with their adopted mother Maria! If the new mother shows genuine care for the kids, they will gradually warm to her. On the other hand, many children in a single-parent family are under psychological pressure and suffer from anxiety attack. So, the single life is not the right choice. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Early MarriageScriptAt the age of 12, Lisa has been married for three years to a young man she met just after finishing secondary school. He treated her well. She almost died during the birth of their first child, born a year after their marriage. The second child, born 18 months later, was also a girl. Lately she and her husband quarrel frequently. She wants to go to vocational school to learn skills to add to the family income, but his mother insists she stay home and produce a son.This example is by no means exceptional. Early marriage is common in many parts of the world. Early marriage leads to early motherhood. In some developing countries, 20 percent or over half of the women give birth to their first child before the age of 18.Expectations from parents, in-laws and society are to produce a child as soon as possible. Many young wives feel pressure to bear son. This typically results in early and frequent pregnancies.In developing countries, more than half a million women die every year from causes related to pregnancy. There are four important reasons for these deaths. Birth are either “too soon, too close, too many, or to late”. According to statistics, it is young women who most die during pregnancy.1.At what age did Lisa give birth to her first child?2.What does Lisa want?3.Why do women in some developing countries have babies early?4.What are the reasons women die from childbirth?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.D3.A 4.D 5.CTask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Task3: They are coming for Christmas,ScriptA man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Christmas and says, “I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mom and I are divorcing, Forty-five years of misery is enough..”“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the father says. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.”Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.“Oh, heck, they’re getting divorced,” she shouts. “I’ll take care of this.”Losing no time, she call her father and screams at him, “You are not getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do anything! DO YOU HEAR ME?”Then she quickly hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to his wife and says merrily, “Okay, they are coming back for Christmas and paying their own way.”For Reference:1. He and the boy’s mother are divorcing.2. Forty-five years of misery is enough. They can’t stand the sight of each other any longer. They’re sick of each other.3. He gets frantic and calls his sister.4. They will come back home and stop the parents from divorcing.5. He is happy, for his son and daughter will come back for Christmas and pave their own way.News ReportPrince More Precious Than the DiamondScriptPeople have long known the saying ’s best friend.” But this may be changing. There’s a new stone market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. The new colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New York’s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one’s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably befully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, “It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.”The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying “Diamonds are forever”may lose some of its meaning.。

M: So that's where you learned it... from your parents?W: My parents were good.

Over the years, parents have tried dramaticalty different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their ba by cry himseHto sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the 口ature of chrldren and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social To them, their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method.None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be. But some things are certain -* a child will be more likely to be loving if you shew him love, more successful if you give him examples of success, and happie『tf you are happy.3.

Despite these successes T producing cloned mammals is enormously difficult, with most attempts ending in failure・Cloning succeeds four percent of the time in species that have already been successfully cloned. In addition, some studies have indicated that cloned animals are less healthy than normally reproduced animals.In 2001, researchers in Massachusetts announced that they were trying to clone humans in an attempt to extract stem cells. The National Academy of Sciences, while announcing support for such so-called therapeutic or research cloning in 2001, announced they opposedthe cloning of humans for reproductive purposes in 2002. They said it was unsafe.Ethicists, religious and politicat leaders, and others have called for a ban on human cloning for any purpose.
