Paragraph 3: Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way thatattitudes towards night dreaming have changed.Paragraph 6: The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness inshaping our future lives as we want them to be..How to Attain Our Goals in LifeAs a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life. To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself asindustry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower. Here I would like to dwell alittle on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success. Take Peter G. Beidler for example. Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession. Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures,even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep. His subsequent success as ateacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983. Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life. Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course untilwe reach it. The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point. She refused to give up in the faceof all the challenges in life. Instead, she persisted in improving herself. In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper. Clearly persistence helped to make herdream come true.。

I phoned my sister and my dad for help, but they simply didn't believe in my misery.Q:Who will the man probably borrow money from?ScriptHow can a teen be convinced to stop smoking—or persuaded never to take up the habit at all?Those questions became even more crucial last week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tobacco use among teenagers increased by nearly one-third in the last decade. In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did.Teens have their own issues, their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions", says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers' Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventative medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remainnon-smokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures.ScriptThe United Nations International Labor Organization, or ILO, has launched a yearly event to help end child labor around the world. The first "World Day Against Child Labor" was held on June 12th. The ILO organized the day to help spread the message that child labor remains an international problem.Officials plan to hold the event every year to increase support for an international campaign against child labor.Almost 250 million children between the ages of five and seventeen are forced to work. That represents one of every six children around the world. Seventy-five percent of them, namely over 180 million children are doing dangerous jobs.The ILO is working with governments to end the worst forms of child labor. These forms of child labor threaten children's physical and mental health, such as illegal sex trade, illegal drug trade, wars, etc. The ILO says the worst forms of child labor are found everywhere in the world. Both boys and girls are equally at risk. Most child laborers are forced to work in farming areas in parts of Asia and Africa.There are many reasons for child labor. They include political conflict, poverty and economic problems. For example, officials say many family businesses use children when they cannot pay adult workers. Illegal child labor continues because of a lack of law enforcement.The ILO says that any effort to end child labor requires direct action at the local, national and international levels. Officials believe it is possible to end the worst forms of child labor in twelve to fifteen years. However, before this can happen, countries must decide to act on this problem. The first step is for governments to accept special programs with time limits to reduce and finally end child labor.。

Answer Keys Book ThreeUnit 8After Listening1.He holds that we must distinguish between different types of human cloning.Some are justified while others are not.2.Safety3.Y es4.Human CloningContent Questions1.At his mother’s funeral, the writer swore that one day he’d do something aboutconditions like hers.2.One night the writer went out for drinks with another gentleman whose father haddied of ALS. They talked about their parents then and wanted to do something as a legacy for them. The stem cell research company Stemagen thus came into existence.3.They were concerned about the reproductive possibilities of cloning when Dollywas born.4.Human reproductive cloning is ethically wrong because the majority ofreproductive clones in other species are actually abnormal, with very high miscarriage rates, very high stillbirth rates, fetal anomalies, death soon after birth, et cetera.5.The writer shows a positive attitude towards therapeutic cloning. He holds thattherapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings who are undergoing some awful things.6.The writer honestly thinks that someone will attempt human reproductive cloningand there is no way to stop it.7.Because by doing so, they could make cloning very real so that people around theworld know that cloning is coming along.8.Their purpose in creating disease-specific and person-specific stem cell lines is tostudy the causes of specific diseases, and then research a variety of treatments for these diseases. If the stem cell lines are created for any given individual and are later transplanted back into the individual, they will not be rejected by the individual..9.The writer hold that in reality it is transcendent because when you look throughthe microscope, you see what you may have looked like a long time ago, at least in part.10.It brought tears to his eyes because the research was done for his mother, and herealized that if she had only been able to live a few years longer, maybe they could have used this technology to help her.11.In the process of analysis, the embryos were destroyed by necessity. In otherwords, to get the genetic material from inside the cells to analyze it, they had to destroy the cell.12.Because the writer thinks that logically, an embryo is not life, although it is apotential life. The vast majority of embryos never become life----they just generate, don’t implant and die.Language Sense Enhancement1.

ScriptNora: Hey John.John:heyNora: I took a course on how the airport runs, and I don't suffer from fear of flyingany more. Last week I flew nonstop to San Francisco.John: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?Nora: United Airlines, Flight UA858.John: How did it go? Everything smooth sailing?Nora: Not everything. Since I hadn't traveled by air for a long time, I wasn't familiar with the airport. It took me quite a while to find the United Airlines check-in counter. John: Then how did you find it?Nora: In fact, it was displayed on the monitor: "Flight UA858 c~/Counter 45." John: And was everything OK once you found it?Nora: No, there was a terrible line-up. I had to wait there for an hour.John: I see. Y ou must have been burned out waiting before you even boarded the plane.Nora: That still wasn't the end of my troubles. When I finally got to the counter and handed in my passport and ticket, the airline agent looked at my passport and at me again and again.John: Why? Did she think your passport was a fake?Nora: I don't know. I just told her my photo did not flatter me at all.John: Y our photo certainly doesn't do justice to your beauty.Nora: She didn't say anything like that. Fortunately, when I asked for an aisle seat, she said she had one. Y ou know, I wouldn't dare take a window seat and look out the window.John: I prefer an aisle seat, too. Then I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up in the aisle.Nora: Finally she gave me a boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 33 in just minutes. So I had to run!John: That's bad luck. But you made it! Good for you.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, good to see you back. How was your trip? Everything smooth sailing?B: Not bad, though I had a little trouble before boarding.A: What was wrong?B: I was caught in a traffic jam and almost missed the flight. But I managed to get to the airport in timeA: Congratulations!

The queue was quite short. But I had another problem.A: What was that?B: When I handed in my passport, the airline agent looked at it for a long time.A: Why? Did the agent think your passport was a fake?B: No, she didn't, but she told me that my passport was going to expire in a week. So you see, I had to fly back quickly.A: I hope that was the end of your troubles.B: Not completely. I still had trouble with my baggage.A: What was the problem?B: It was overweight. It took me a while to go through the procedure.A: Any good news before you boarded the plane?B: Y es, when I asked for a window seat, I got one. Y ou know, I wouldn't like to take an aisle or middle seat where I couldn't enjoy the view.A: I prefer an aisle seat, though. So that I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up.B: Finally the agent gave me the boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 24 in just minutes. So I had to run!A: But you made it! Good for youMODEL 3 I've got jet lag.ScriptSusan: Wow! What happened? Y ou look like something the cat dragged in.John: Y ou would too if you’d been through what I have. I've got jet lag.Susan: Jet lag's not for real, is it? It's like a "broken heart"-a figure of speechJohn: It’s for real. See my eyes? They’re all bloodshot. I can’t eat; I can’t sleep. Susan: How long does this jet lag last after you’re home again and walking round? John: I don’t know exactly. It can be a day for each hour’s difference in time. Susan: Ouch! At that rate it’ll take you twelve days to recover from the flight. John: Maybe a drink on the plane can ease your jet lag.Susan: That's not a very good idea. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin.John: I wonder whether a long flight like that is worth the high cost.Susan: Take my advice. Go by boat. Arrive rested and ready to enjoy your holiday. John: No, it'll take too long-longer than the time for me to reset my biological clock after a flight.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Wow! What's wrong with you? Y ou look dead tired ~B: Y ou would too if you'd been through what I have. I've got jet lag. See my eyes: they're bloodshot. I can't eat; I can't sleep.A: How long will this jet lag last?B: I don't know exactly. It can be a day for each hour's difference in time.A: Ouch! At that rate it'll take you twelve days to recover. Maybe a drink on the plane can save you from jet lag.B: That's not a good solution, I'm afraid. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin. But if you drink a lot of water, it helps. A: let's check on the Internet to see how we can overcome jet lag quickly.B: Look, here's an article. So you need to get some exercise. Y ou can go to the gym to work out.A: Y ou should try to match your schedule with the local time. When it's time to go to bed but you don't feel sleepy, you might as well take sleeping pills.B: When you feel sleepy in broad daylight, you can drink strong coffee to stay awake. A: In this way you can reset your biological clock quickly.V. Let' TalkScriptBefore I conclude my talk, I'd like to summarize what we have covered.Air travel has its inherent advantages. Airplanes fly fast, and they are now flying faster than before. Now supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just a couple of hours. It is reported that new models are being designed. In the future they may carry people from New Y ork to London in less than an hour.In the past not many people traveled by air because of the high fares. Now owing to the market competition, the fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air. In the 1990s, the United States witnessed an explosive growth in demand for air travel. Many millions who had never, or rarely flown before, became regular passengers. They even joined frequent flyer loyalty programs, receiving free flights and other such benefits.Flying has become increasing convenient. The introduction of new services and more frequent flights has meant that business flyers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day. This applies to almost any two points in the country.Some passengers worry about safety in flying. In a crash there are usually no survivors. However, to prevent tragic accidents and serious financial loss, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility of accidents to the minimum. It is sometimes claimed that flying involves fewer accidents than any other modes of travel.Airplanes do have their disadvantages. For example, they are incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Also, an airport can be quite far away from the city center. But the advantages of flying outweigh these small drawbacks, and flying remains an efficient kind of transportation.That's the end of my lecture. Now may I take your questions if you have any?Pros and Cons of FlyingPro 1An airplane flies fast(1) Supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just acouple of hours;(2) In future they may carry people from Now Y ork to London in less than anhour.Pro 2 The fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air: Many millions became regular passengers, and even joined frequent flyer loyaltyprograms.Pro 3Flying has become increasingly convenient: Business fliers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day.Pro 4Airlines are cautious about checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility ofaccidents to the minimumCon 1The plane is incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Con 2An airport can be quite far away from the city center.DissussionSAMPLEA: I like flying better than any other way of traveling. It's so fast and convenient that you can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day, between almost any points in the country.B: But land transport is not slow, thanks to superhighways. What's more, it's often cheaper.A: I'll admit air fare is a bit high, but it's dropped a lot. The high speed and great convenience are worth the money.B: Land transport is often safer. In case of accidents like a fire, you can jump out of the car. Can you jump our of a plane?A: It's true that in a crash there are often no survivors. However, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft. It's sometimes believed that flying involves fewer accidents than other kinds of travel.B: The problem with a plane is that it can't transport large quantities of cargo.A: I agree, but certainly a plane can carry perishable goods like fresh vegetables to a distant city quickly and safely.B: But an airport is often quite far away from the city center. So that will add to your traveling time. Y ou can’t fly directly to your final destination.A: Y ou have a point there. I know trucks can provide door-to-door delivery service, but buses and trains can't.B: OK, let's come to this conclusion: each type of transport has its own advantages and disadvantages.A: Y es, that's why none of them has been phased out.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1:An Overview of AirlinesScriptAn airline is an organization which provides aviation services for passengers and cargo. It owns or leases airliners to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for reasons of mutual benefits.The scale and scope of airline companies range from those with a single airplane carrying mail or cargo, to full-service international airlines operating many hundreds of airplanes of various types. Airline services can be categorized as intercontinental, intra-continental, regional or domestic and may be operated as scheduled services or charters. These variations in the types of airline companies, their operating scope, and the routes they serve, make analysis of the airline industry complex. But one thing is certain: The industry is heavily influenced by the market now. In the past 50 years or so, the general trend of ownership has gone from government-owned or government-supported to independent, for-profit companies. This is a result of the government permit greater freedom. This trend is not yet consistent across all airlines in all regions. The demand for air travel services depends on other things: needs for cargo transportation, business passenger demand, leisure passenger demand, which are all influenced by macroeconomic activity in the market. These trends are highly seasonal, and often depend on day-of-week, or time-of-day. The industry is cyclical. Four or five years of poor performance are followed by five or six years of gradual improvement in performance.1.D 2 C 3.D 4.A 5.BT ask2:Results of Damage T estingScript:Birds often cause accidents when they strike aircraft. To date no reliable method of avoiding birds has been discovered. But scientists at the NASA space center have developed a gun built to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at their top speed. The idea is to reproduce the frequent incidents of collisions with birds to test the strength of the windshields. Trains sometimes encounter similar problems with birds. It was not surprising that when British engineers heard about the gun, they were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains.Arrangements were made to borrow the gun. It was flown across the Atlantic and set up with great care near London. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken flew into the shield, smashed it, went through the engineer's chair, and landed on the back of the car.Horrified, the British sent NASA the results of the disastrous experiment, along with the designs of the new windshield. They begged the U.S. scientists to send them their suggestions for avoiding smashed windshields. NASA reviewed the test thoroughly and had one recommendation: "Thaw the chicken.”T ask3: Funny Flight AnnouncementsScript:Occasionally, airline crews try to make their announcements entertaining. Here are some examples that have been reported. One pilot delivered this welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."One pilot said, "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I'm going to switch the seatbelt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings, it affects the flight pattern."A Southwest Airlines employee said, "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have small children traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing goes like this: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."Still another attendant sa id, “As you exit the plane, please be sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses. Last one off the plane must clean it.”News ReportParagliding for a Publishing DealScriptAn Australian writer-and paraglider-tried landing in front of Buckingham Palace last December to help him land a publishing deal.In what looked like a scene from a James Bond movie, the paraglider, 36-year-old Brett de la Mare, was followed through the skies of central London by a police helicopter as he headed toward the palace-the London home of Queen Elizabeth II. The royal family was not present at the time, but police took the incident seriously, all the same. The helicopter tried to force the paraglider away, but in the end, he succeeded in landing on the palace grounds. Police there promptly arrested him.This was no terrorist, however, as Police had feared. He was, rather, a writer trying to gain publicity to help publish a book, called “C anine Dawn”. Unable to get publishers interested in the book, he tried some new ways to get attention.After the incident, de la Mare explained what happened to reporters. "I came in over the fence, and I landed in the forecourt here, and the crowd started cheering. And I was arrested and dragged off." De la Mare said police had difficulty deciding what to charge him with: "They initially…they arrested me for attempted burglary..of ...Buckingham Palace... and of course, they dropped that. I mean, attempted burglary! I mean, it's hardly a discreet method of burglary..." They later charged him with breaches of the Air Navigation Order.De la Mare left a h umorous message on his cell phone for callers: "Hi, this is Brett. I'm sorry you missed me. I am incarcerated right now or something. Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I am free."。

Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one‟s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents‟ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you‟re facing a large audience.Vocabulary1.

WritingMy Advice to PessimistsSample 1It is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them:1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in the morning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism.2. Build up our self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as your can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Your list will help you see your abilities.3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise.Try your best to become an optimist.Sample 2Are you an optimist or a pessimist? If you're a pessimist, here is some advice for you.As everyone knows, pessimism is harmful to people. It makes you unhappy and unhealthy, and even brings depression, loneliness and failure. Pessimists tend to suffer more failures and setbacks because they don't believe they can succeed and thus don't' struggle for it. Optimism, by contrast, can make you happy, healthy and successful. So it is good for you to change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist.Here are some suggestions for you to become an optimist:1. Remember that everyone experiences failures and disappointments. So when you fail, don't blame yourself too much. It may not be your fault.2. When you fail in something, profit from the failure as a learning experience instead of gettingdepressed. And next time, you can make your plans to be more successful.3. When you fail, don't' be discouraged. Try again. Don't let negative thoughts hold your back. Just give yourself another chance. So never give up just because you failed.Pessimism is harmful, but it can be changed. Trust yourself and try to adopt an optimistic attitude, and then you will be a winner in life more often.Unit 2 Myths and LegendsPreparation4.

Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself “All of you.”When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast?”The man replied: “For all of you.”So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can‟t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn‟t you know that we are going to the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I‟m sure we‟ll have a lot of fun.Bird A: Yes, we‟ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise: You don‟t know me now. I‟m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let‟s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let‟s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven‟t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again. Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you.Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn‟t he? I‟m glad we decided to bring him with us.Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?Sky people: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first. Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I‟m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I‟m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can‟t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking SidesSamples1) -- I don‟t admire Tortoise‟s cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.-- I admire Tortoise‟s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn‟t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.-- I think the birds are stupid. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn‟t be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know T ortoise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn‟t cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn‟t be carried away by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can‟t change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.Vocabulary1. 1) A. invitation B. invited C. inviting2) A. prepare B. prepared C. preparation D. preparatory/preparation3) A. discoveries B. discoverers C. discovered4) A. approval B. approve C. approved D. approving E. disapprove5) A. eloquent B. eloquence C. eloquently6) A. faithful B. unfaithful/faithless C. faith D. faithfully7) A. occasional B. occasionally C. occasion8) A. delivery B. delivering C. delivered9) A. troublesome/trouble B. troubled C. troubled D. troubling10) A. assurance B. assured C. assure2. 1) ran/got into trouble 2) no trouble 3) asking for trouble4) have…trouble 5) trouble with 6) in serious/deep/big trouble7) get/getting…into trouble 8) took the trouble3.1) with a pattern of roses2) prepared a wonderful/good meal for us3) promised faithfully4) deliver this letter5) a selection of milk and plain chocolate6) keep out of mischief/behave themselves7) the sound of distant thunder8) received approval from the government9) in spite of the fact that he drank too much10) agree whether the drug is safe or notPart ThreeFURTHER Development1. 1-5 CCABA 6-10 BABBA 11-12 BA5.1)the true reason why there was no such animal in Guizhou2)they were useless in this place3)When he suddenly saw the donkey, he thought it was a monster4)He hid himself in the tree while looking at donkey5)What kind of animal is this and why does it look different from other animal that I've ever seen6)But one day the donkey stretched its thin neck and cried7)the tiger found that the donkey didn't have any other skills besides crying8)But he dared not rush to it and eat it just as he did to other animals9)This did make the donkey angry,so it raised its hind leg and kicked the tiger10)This time he rushed to it without hesitation and bit is throatPart Four Writing and Translation2.

英语专业学生经典的听力材料Unit 8 ArchitecturePart I Warming upA.Tapescript:For hundreds of years, it has been an imperial capital of Europe. Its rulers raided the Western world to enrich the coffers of the empire. They spent their wealth on magnificent palaces and grand public buildings. They built an opera house that rivals any in Europe. They founded great museums and libraries. They constructed massive, ornate government buildings. And they raised opulent palaces for themselves.A tour of Vienna is a tour of these monuments to excess.Take Schonbrunn Palace, for instance. The Palace's Million Room, named after the cost of the decorations -- 1 million guilders, is a Rococo masterpiece. Inset in the paneling are 260 rare miniatures of Indo-Persian heritage. The frames are real gold leaf, and the paneling is precious wood. The Great Gallery, modeled after a room in Versailles near Paris, has 35-foot ceilings graced with giant frescoes(壁画)boasting of the power of the Austrian army. Massive crystal chandeliers reflect in the wall of mirrors, trimmed in gold leaf.The list of other sights to see in Vienna is long. St. Stephen's Cathedral dominates the skyline of Old Town, the medieval section of the city. Itsmain spire soars 450feet into the sky, and the top can be reached by climbing 343 steps. The cathedral' was begun in the 12th century.In the catacombs(陵墓)beneath the cathedral are copper urns(骨灰坛)containing the intestines of deceased Habsburgs. Their bodies are in ornate caskets(棺材)in the Imperial Burial Vaults in the Kapuziner Church a few blocks away, and can be visited.The Old Town is a fascinating place to walk. Most of the narrow streets have been turned into pedestrian malls lined with shops, coffeehouses and restaurants. In one section, the original Roman ruins under the streets can be seen by going to an underground museum.The Natural History Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts occupy matching buildings on Maria Theresa Plaza, a small square across from the Hofburg. Hofburg is the Habsburg’s in-town palace. It is big, with 2,600 rooms, but not ornate. Hofburg is a jumble of buildings constructed at different times and in different styles, from Baroque, Gothic and Classical to Renaissance and Rococo. Its oldest parts date from the 13th century, but most were built from the 1700s on.B1.The Palais du Louvre:Location: heart of ParisBeginning year of construction: 1527Time when first used as a public art gallery: 1793The Louvre Pyramid:Designer: Ieoh Ming Pe iUse: the main entrance to the Palais du LouvreHeight: 21mWidth: 33mMaterials:steel tubes, cables, sheet glassYear of completion: 1988Tapescript:The Palais du Louvre stands at the heart of Paris, and houses one of the world's greatest collections of works of art. The original palace dates from 1527, and it was extended and added to over the next four centuries. It was first used as a public art gallery in 1793. In 1981, the Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei was commissioned to redevelop the public part of the Louvre and create more space for reception areas and services. He designed the famous Glass Pyramid, which serves as the main entrance to the building, leading underground to the museum and art gallery. The Pyramid is 21 meters high and 33 meterswide, and uses a combination of steel tubes, cables and sheet glass. It was completed in 1988,and quickly became a major tourist attraction in its own right.B21. She likes the Louvre Pyramid because of the transparency, and it has a light effect.2. She likes the Louvre Pyramid for its contrast of shapes. It emphasizes the beauty of the Louvre.3. She thinks the right thing is to put something so contradictory to the Louvre. They stand in dialogue with each other and they don't try to complement each other.4. She thinks it would have been the biggest mistake to try to build something similar to the Louvre.Tapescript:I like the Louvre Pyramid because of its transparency, because you can just look through it, and it has a very light effect. It is not heavy and it is made of glass, and so it looks like a light object. And I like it for its contrast of shapes, because it is such a contrast to the Louvre building that in fact it doesn't interfere with the beauty of the Louvre, but it even, it emphasizes the beauty of the Louvre. And in the evening when this pyramid is lighted, it's just a source of light to put the Louvre into a new light. And this has for me also a symbolic meaning. And it is such an unexpected shape in this urban context, just to use a traditional shape of a pyramid built in new materials with new technologies, high-tech, and so on, that it is a completely surprising effect. So that people get shocked by it or they like it, but there is nobody who would be uninvolved or who could just pass and not notice this building. So it's something you have to look at. And I think this is also very important in building, and creating something in the cities, and exactly for example close to these historical buildings which are such a... they are so sensitive topics that nobody dares to touch them. I think the right thing is really to put something so contradictory to it that they stand in dialogue with each other and they don't even try to complement each other. Because it would have been the biggest mistake to try to build something similar to the Louvre, to put a building which would copy the Louvre, because it would just mean that we don't live in continuity, the architecture doesn't continue its history,but it would mean that architecture stands still on the level of the 17th century, and that would be a lie.Ecology 生态学ecological system 生态系统Consultant 顾问Model 模式Minimize 减小,减少Part II eco-conscious constructionAThe world’s first eco-city /off the coastAgricultural land /half a million /$1.3 billion /a sustainability consultantSustainable developmentA more ecologically friendly model /minimize impact on nature /solar and wind power /power and fertilizers /electric carsB1.1. a dream-house which is sustainable by the environment ----- an environmentally-sustainable dream-house2. windows that face south -- south-facing windows3. a kitchen that is well lit -- a well-lit kitchen4. paint that is based on milk or uses milk as a base ---- milk-based paint5. solutions which are beneficial to the environment -- environmentally-beneficial solutionsTapescript.1.

The approach is being spearheaded by a quiet revolution in the eco-conscious construction business. Colorado PublicRadio's Peter Jones recently visited a building site near Boulder and brings us this report.J: Architect Jim Logan is building his environmentally sustainable dream-house at the site of a former commune a few miles north of Boulder. Logan has incorporated nearly every aspect of a modern eco-conscious design. As you drive onto the small farm property, you're immediately struck by a series of large south-facing windows. Walk through the well-lit kitchen, and you'll see that even the north side of the building has a passive solar component.L: Every room in this house has a window that faces south, regardless of where it's located, so all the rooms in the house have both day-lighting, which means that there's ample light coming in high into the room so that we don't need to use electric lights during the day, and also have south-facing glass that provides solar heat.J: As a result, Logan's house will have neither a furnace nor air-conditioning. For hot water, he'll tee an active solar heater. But efficient use of the sun is only one of the building's many eco-conscious features.L: The outside walls -- if you include a foot of adobe, a foot of insulation, and another foot of adobe- are three feet thick.J: The so-called super-insulation is required to store the solar heat, but Logan is also using thermal mass, or dirt, to keep the house both warm inthe winter and cool in the summer.J: In all facets of construction, Logan is emphasizing both biodegradable building products and nontoxic materials. He's using milk-based paint, for example, and relatively little of that.L: This room and the inside of this room- virtually all the finishes did not need to be painted. The ceiling is made out of galvanized metal and the walls are plaster. Painting is a fairly un-environmental act in that it is something that involves chemistry, it involves doing it over and over many times in the lifetime of the building.J: And don't look for any carpeting in Logan's house.L: Well even if carpet is made from recycled material, it still can't be recycled the second time currently, so carpet virtually always gets thrown away. Also, most carpet gives off volatile organic compounds.J: Initially, Logan will get all his water from a well. The house won't be connected to a city water system. But he says the roof has gutters and will eventually collect rainwater for general use. Logan is paying $75 a square foot to build his house, and estimates environmental features added 10 - 15% to the up-front costs. But he says he'll save money in the long run. L: In many cases, many environmentally-beneficial solutions pay for themselves in as little as 6 or 7 or 8 months. A low-flow showerhead in most situations will pay for itself in a month.Part III Tomorrow's houseA.1. What is home automation? In your opinion, what are some of the things that could be examples of home automation?2. What are some of the main interests in creating automated houses?3. Can home automation offer benefits and lifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people? Imagine how.B.Safety:Security systems that detect fires, gas and water leaks, intruders, unwelcome guests, etc.Security systems that limit home access to specific times of the day and tell you which doors and windows are openEnergy-efficiency:Lights that turn themselves off when you leave a roomSensors that help open skylights, turn on ceiling fans and close the draperies when the house reaches a certain temperature ConvenienceAppliances that tell you when something is wrong with them Security system, spa, lights, CD player, garage door, thermostat, stereo, etc. that can be controlled while in the house or remotely from a touch-tone phone or computer and modemLifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people: voice command, infrared remote control, etc.Tapescript:Current advances in home automation offer homeowners convenience, security, energy savings and a lot of gee-whiz technology.With a fully automated home, you'd be able to pick up your phone, call your house and instruct it to disarm the security system, start the spa, turn up the lights and coax classical music from the compact disc player. While you were at it, you could also open the garage door or set the thermostat to a pleasant 70 degrees.Sound intriguing? How about lights that turn themselves off when you leave a room? A stereo that quiets itself when the phone rings? Or appliances that tell you when something is wrong with them?Although most home automation systems now on the market are expensive and available only in new homes, within the next two years you can expect an explosion of products that transform homes into architectural geniuses.By all accounts, the time is right for houses to become "smart." During the last decade, consumers have readily accepted such technological wonders as microwave ovens, fax machines and cellular phones. Our cars use microprocessors, automated tellers abound, and virtually everyone has access to a personal computer. The interest in home automation,however, is not born out of a desire to create a space-age home. It stems from a genuine interest in ways to make houses safe, energy-efficient and more comfortable.Take security, for example. If there is a fire, an automated house will detect it, turn off the gas, close the dampers in the ventilation system, turn on the lights, unlock the doors, set off an alarm and call the fire department. More advanced systems might even tell you where the fire is and through which room you should escape.In the case of an intruder, a triggered motion detector can turn on floodlights in the yard and instruct your stereo to queue up the sound of a barking dog.Or say you want to avoid unwelcome guests. By mounting a video camera at the front door, you can view visitors on a TV screen. Automated security systems can also detect gas and water leaks, limit home access to specific times of the day and tell you which doors and windows are open when you activate the system.With Home Manager, one of several automation systems on the market, you can warm up the master bedroom, kitchen and bathroom in the morning before the alarm goes off. Or you can program it to keep the nursery at a constant temperature. In midsummer, you can even instruct sensors in the house to open skylights, turn on ceiling fans and close the draperies when the house reaches a certain temperature.All of these functions can be controlled while in the house or remotely from a touch-tone phone or computer and modem.In addition, home automation offers tremendous lifestyle improvements for elderly and disabled people. For those who cannot push a button or flip a switch, a voice command can be used to activate security cameras, turn up the stereo volume or drop the room temperature a few degrees. The click of an infra: red remote control could turn on the oven, close the blinds or open the door.So what is home automation, exactly? In short, it's actually a combination of several things including microprocessors, enhanced power line transmission, computer chips, telephone and cable wiring, infrared sensors and radio frequency waves.Fortunately, the manufacturers that are developing these automated products understand that consumers don't care how something works as much as they care that it does work and is easy to operate.。
