We run five every month, three during weekends and two Wednesday afternoon trips.M: What sort of places?W: Well. Obviously, it varies, but always places of historical interest and also which offers a variety of shopping, because our students always ask about that. And then we go for ones where we know there are guided tours because this gives a good focus for the visit.M: Do you travel far?W: Well, we are lucky here obviously because we are able to say that all our visits are less than three hours drive.M: How much do they cost?W: Again it varies, between 5 and 15 pounds a head, depending on distance.M: Ah haW: Oh and we do offer to arrange special trips if, you know, there are more than 12 people.M: Oh right. I’ll keep that in mind. And what are the times normally?W: We try to keep it pretty fixed so that the students get to know the pattern. We leave at 8.30 a.m. and return at 6 p.m. We figure it’s best to keep the day fairly short.M: Oh yes and then how do we reserve a place?W: You sign your name on the notice board. Do you know where it is?M: Ah ha. I saw it this morning.W:And we do ask that you sign up three days in advance so we know we’ve got enough people interested to run it and we can cancel if necessary with full refund of course.M: That’s fine. Thanks.M: And what visit sub plan for this term?W:Right. Well. I’m afraid the schedule hasn’t been printed out yet. But we have confirmed the dates and planed the optional extra visits, which you can also book in advance if you want to.M: Oh that’s all right. And if you can just give some ideas of the weekend ones so I can, you know, work out then to see friends and such I…W: Oh sure. Well, err the first one is St. Ives. That’s on the 13th of February and we will have only 16 places available because we’re going by mini bus. And that’s the day in town with the optional extra of visiting the Hepworth Museum.M: All right. Yes ah. That sounds good.W: And then there’s a London trip on the 16th of February. And we will be taking a medium size coach so there will be 45 places on that. And let’s see the optional extra is the Tower of London.M: Oh, I’ve already been there.W: Yam. After that is Bristol on the 3rd of March.M: Where?W: Bristol. B-R-I-S-T-O-L.M: Okay.W: That’s in a different mini bus with 18 places available. Oh and the optional extra is visit to the S.S. Great Britain.M: Okay.W: We’re going to Salisbury on the 18th of March. And that’s always the popular one because the optional extra is Stonehenge. So we’re taking the large coach with 50 seats. M: Oh good.W: And then the last one is to Bath on the 23rd of March.M: Oh yes, is Bath the Roman city?W: Yes, that’s right. And that’s in the 16 seats mini bus.M: And where’s the optional visit?W: It’s to the American Museum, well worth visit.M: Okay, that’s great. And thanks all that.W: My pleasure. Oh by the way, if you want more information about any of the trips, have a look in the student newspaper.M: Ok.W: Or have a word with my assistant. Her name is Jane Yentob. That’s Y-E-N-T-O-B. M: All right. I’ve got that. Thank you very much for all your help.W: You’re welcome. I hope you’ll enjoy the trips.test1_section2Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit, I'm just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I won't keep you long. OK?Now from where we're standing you've got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the region's rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So industrial villages like this one became very rare.So that's the history for you. If you'd like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guidebook.Now I’m going to give you a plan of the site and I’d just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. I’ve already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the ticket office. You won’t need that because you’ve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shop that is where you can get copies of the guide like this one here. Now beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big stone building at the top is the main workshop. That’s where the firm is and where all the metal was melted and tools were cut as you will be able to see. Now in the top right hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the show room where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages were on display. In the top left corner is the grinding shop where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the engine room and on the other is the café, which isn’t too antique you would be pleased to know though they do serve very nice old fashion teas. The lower buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the works towards the end of the eighteenth century and they are still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the Stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right. If any one wants a guided tour, then I am starting atthe engine room. If you’d like to, come along this way please, ladies and gentlemen. test1_section3W: Excuse me, Dr. Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute?M: Sure. Come in.W: I’m Melanie Griffin. I’m taking your course in population studies.M: Right, so, well, Melanie, how can I help you?W: I’m having a bit trouble with the second assignment and it’s due in 12 days.M: What’s the sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem? W: Well, that’s part of the problem. I’m also having… been having trouble getting hold of the books. I’ve been to the library several times and all the books were out.M: It sounds like you should start borrowing the books a bit earlier.W: Well I have really a big assignment due for another course and I have been spending all my time on that and I thought…M: And you might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me?W: If that’s possible. But I don’t know…M:Well. Yes it’s possible. But extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons. Otherwise, that’s really a question of organizing your study and we don’t like giving an extension to a student who simply didn’t plan the work properly. What did you get for your first assignment?W: I got 87 percent.M: Umm. Yes, you did very well indeed. So obviously you can produce good work. W: I don’t think I need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some importantreferences.M: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I’m prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one. So, that will mean you need to submit it about a month from now.W: Oh thank you.M: Now what about the reading materials? So you check out the journal articles in the list?W: Oh, no, not yet. There were about twenty of them I wasn’t sure which ones should be most useful or all important.M: Well they’re all useful, but I don’t expect anyone to read them all because a number of them deal with the same issues. And let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading.W: Right. I’ll read that one.M: You should also read the article by Jackson but just look at the part at the research methodology how they did it.W: Ok, Jackson, I got that.M: And if you have time the one by Roberts says very a lot of things although it’s not essential.W: Ok. If it’s useful I’ll try with that one.M: Now the one by Morris. I wouldn’t borrow with that at this stage if I were you.W:Ok, I won’t borrow with Morris. Oh now, someone told me that the article by Cooper is important.M: Oh yes, but just look at the last part where it discusses the research result.W: And last there’s Forster. I can’t think why I included that one. That’s not bad and could be some help but not that much.M: Now let’s deal with the assignment question. What’s the problem there?W: It’s graph from page 2.M: It seems to be the problem is just about the bar graph showing reasons why peoples change where they live.W: Well I’ve got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing.M: Ok. Look at the first bar on the graph. Now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space.W: Oh, I see. Bar one. Ok, now what’s about the next bar?M: Bar two is to do with the people who live nearby disturbing them so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now let’s look at bar No.3. Another reason people change their places of living is because they want to be closer to the city.W: Ok. Proximity to the city is the issue.M:Now bar No.4 refers to problems when the owner of the property won’t help fix things go wrong. In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out. W: Ok, now what about Bar 5.M: Bar 5 is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get among the city or to go to work.W: Ok, and Bar 6?M: Bar No.6 is mid-resting. That reason was given quite a lot. People move in becausethey wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood.W: Oh yes. Thank you very much.test1_section4Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I've been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. There're two major areas that I'll focus on in my talk: how vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate and how we can better plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment for us to living.Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make our cities, as a whole, a bit less windy or a bit more windy as that what you want. They can make it a bit cooler if it's a hot summer day in an Australian city or they can make it a bit more humid if it's a dry inland city. On the local scale, that is a particular area within the city, trees can make the local area more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy. In fact, trees and plantings of various of kinds can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous in particular areas.How do trees do that, you'll ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporates water through its leaves. And that means the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be 20 degrees more than our temperature. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they sweat. This means they canhumidify the air and cool it, a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate.Trees can also help break the force of the winds. The reason that high buildings may keep windier at ground level is that as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and faster. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesn't happen when you have trees. Trees filter the wind and considerably reduce it preventing those very large strong gusts that you so often find around tall buildings.Another problem in built-up areas is the traffic noise is intensified by tall buildings. By planting a belt of trees at the side of the road, you can make things a little quieter but much of the vehicle noise still goes through the trees. Trees can also help reduce the amount of noise in the surroundings, although the effect is not as large as people would like to think. Low frequency noise, in particular, just goes through the trees as that they aren't there.Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do, however, take up a lot of space. There're route system to consider and branches blocking the windows and so on. It may therefore be difficult to fit trees into the local landscape. There's not a great deal you can do if you have what we call a street canyon, a whole set of high-risesenclosed in the narrow street. Trees need water to grow. They also need some sunlight to grow and you need room to put them. If you have the chance of knocking buildings down and replacing them, then suddenly you can start looking at different ways to design the streets and to introduce...(End)test2_section1W: Oh, Peter, there you're. It's been ages. What catches so long?M: Sorry, I'm so late, Sally. Have you been waiting long?W:Half an hour. But it doesn't matter. I had a coffee and I had been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down.M: Umm.W: You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink?M: I'd love really chill mineral water or something. Would you have another coffee? W:Yes, I'll. The waitress will be back in a moment. Why are you so late. Did something happen?M: Yes. You know I went to the bank to cash something traveller's cheques. Well the exchange rate was looking very healthy but I went to the teller they told me that the computer system was temporarily down. So they couldn't do any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank and I forgot the time.W: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank. Does he work there?M: No, he was a tourist, from NY. His name is Henry. And he's been here for a week, but he's moving on to Germany tomorrow. He's an architect and he's spending fourweeks travelling along Europe.W: Just like us?M: Yes, just like us. He told me the names of some places where we should eat. Great food and not too expensive, he said. Oh, and he also gave me this map of the buses to me, he said he didn't need it anymore.W: That's useful. But he's moving on tomorrow. Yes, here's the waitress. Let's order. Do you want something to eat? Or should we just have a drink?M: Well. I'm hungry. And we've got a lot of sightseeing to do. So let's just have a snack and drink.W: It sounds good to me.M:Well. Let's decide what we'll see today. I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral and then the Castle. What're the opening times for those two?W:Well, according to this guidebook, the Cathedral is only open from 9.30 in the morning until midday. (Ah...) No, hang on. That's the Cathedral Museum. (Oh!) The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon. The Castle is just open from 1 to 5 so we can't go there until after lunch. I really want to spend some time on the Art Gallery because they've got this wonderful painting by Rembrandt（倫伯朗）that I always want to see.M: What else should we see?W: Well the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens worth spending some time in. And there're open all day from 8 to 6 so we go there anytime. (En...) I'd like to go to the markets near the river too. But ... Oh no way, that's only in the mornings too.M: As well as today and tomorrow, we can see some other places on Monday you know. But I don't think the markets will be open then. They only open on Thursdays. So we miss them for this week. Maybe we can go to the Cathedral today because it's Sunday tomorrow. And even though it's open every day it might be difficult to get in tomorrow because the chair services.W: That is true. But the Art Gallery isn't open on Sundays at all. So we'll have to go there today. (En) The Castle is open every day except Monday. So it'll okay there. And the Gardens of course is only closed at night.M: Are all these places free? Or do we have to pay to go in? What does the guidebook say?W: I think there's a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens. Oh and the markets. Of course you don't pay to go in.M: Okay, well, let's have a look at our plan at this. We'll go to see the painting, you like first, that the Rembrandt, then have lunch then we go on to the Castle after that and then the Cathedral.W: Okay. It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful.M: Is that right? But I really want to do with the Cathedral is climb the tower. The view is supposed to be spectaculous!W: Okay well that'll be more than enough today. And tomorrow let's go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic. (En!) I want to sit by the river and watch the swans. The city's famous for them.test2_section2So the Counselling Services we are for dealing with any problems arising from your studies or in your life outside the university.Let's take academic counselling. If you confuse about subjects or how to combine them of your degree, we can advise you and discuss the career you are aiming for, so that you can see it all in context. We can also chase up your tutor if you're not getting proper feedback on how you will be getting on your subjects.Besides help with academic problems, you may also need personal counselling. If you think you're already under stress, well, just wait to classes begin next week, you'll have to start adjusting to teaching and learning methods that may be unfamiliar to you as well as the mounting pressures the deadline for that first assignment creates upon you.And of course you'll have to cope with all these without your usual social network, you know, the social contacts, family and friends, you can normally rely on for help. All of this causes anxiety. Studying overseas can trigger a personal crisis. You may have left a lot of or you might call unfinished business back in your own country. Or you may have interrupted personal relationships or even sometimes broken them off to come overseas. And so students often feel so lonely, unhappy, unmotivated and unable to concentrate on study. Or there may be other things bothering you. Our resident chapel can offer you spiritual guidance if that what you want or we can put you in touch with community groups that can provide you with social contacts and friendship.What about exam stress? It effects nearly every one to some extent, but especially oversea students like yourselves. There may be a huge amount of family pressure on you to succeed. And if you fail a subject or drop off a course because it's too difficult, then your self-esteem can suffer, but it's not the end of the world if you don't pass an exam. I had a reset first year anthropology so I can certainly offer you a sympathetic hear. Anyway, exam failure can lead varying changes in the way you normally behave.You may also be off your food or you may have dietary problems because the local food is not to your liking and upset you and this can affect your health and studies. Glenda Roberts is our dietician in the health service and we can put you onto her.And we all have money problems, don't we? But remember full-time students can get a low interest loan of up to 600 dollars to buy books and for similar study related expenses. That's right. And you can get a double that amount if you can't afford an item or equipment you need for your course, so, musical instrument for example. That doesn't stop there. When you move into a flat, starting-up expenses including furniture afford can be covered by a loan through the welfare service. See Jill Freeman for details.Can we help you? Well last academic year in spite of staff cuts, we counselled 240 international students for a total of 2600 hours' counselling. And finally we won all the just one of the twelve appeals that we launched on behaves of the students. Not too badfor an understaff service, don't you think? That's all for me. Thank you.test2_section3W:Oh, there you are, good. Sorry I'm a bit late. There was a long queue. So have you work out how to do with the assignment then?M1:Not yet. We've been here only a couple of minutes ourselves.W: Can you just remind me what the task is exactly?M2: Well there're two, err, no, three parts to it. The first we have got to write an essay about ways of collecting data, then...W: What's the title of the essay exactly?M1: I've got a here. Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research.W: And how much do we need to write?M1: 1500 words. That's the essay. Then for the second part of this assignment we have to choose one method of data collection and carry out a small-scale study making appropriate use of the method chosen to get data from at least 5 subjects.W: And then we have to write a report on the study?M2: That's right. It's three to four thousands words.W: Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for? Questionnaire or interview, isn't it?M1:Yes, I think we should do a questionnaire. That would be so much less time consuming than organizing interviews, I recommend. Once we've agreed on the wording we only have to send it out and wait for the responses.W: Yes...I think it probably would be quicker. But what that are the article gave us last week say about the quality of data from questionnaires？M1:I'm pretty sure recommended questionnaires are source of highly reliable data as long as you design the questionnaire properly in the first place the data will be fine. W:No. I'm sure it talks about drawbacks as well, doesn't it, something about the response rate and the problems you get if it is too low.M1: Yes, but we only need data from 5 subjects, anyway.W: Oh, I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentions was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected because it is limited to the questions fixed in advance by the researcher.M1: Come on, Rose. This is only a practice. It seems not a real research, is it?W: Well, I'm sure about that.W:Maybe I'll be back through the article again. Just to be sure. Can you remember what was called?M: Sample surveys and social science research, I think, by Mehta.W: M-E-H-T-A?M: Yep. And he also recommended a more reasonable called Survey research by Belle, I think. It's an art series published by London University.M2: And if we try to use interviews instead I saw a book in the departmental library that will be helpful for this it is called Interviews that work by Wilson published in Oxford in 1988.W: Right. Oh, I have got a tutorial now. Can we meet up again later this week. Whatabout Friday morning?M: Suits me. 11 o'clock?W: Fine.M: Before Friday, I think we should all look though the reading list.test2_section4So far, in these lectures, we've been looking at crimes like robbery and murder, both from historical view of point and also in contemporary society. And we've seen the preoccupation of western societies with crime and with lawlessness is a pile of long and continuous tradition rather than something which is null and unique to modern society.But over the past 70 years or so, there's been a massive increase in one type of crime which was what's known as corporate crime. Corporate crime is crime which as the name suggests, is connected with companies, with business organizations. It includes illegal acts leader, individuals or a group within a company. But what is important is that these actors normally in accordance with the goals of the company. They're for the good of the company rather than the individual. It's been defined as, quote, crime which is committed for the corporate organization, the company, not against it, unquote. So crimes like theft by employees, things like... err... embezzlement or fraud against one's actual employer are excluded, according to this definition. The employees maybe involve but they're acting in the first place for the company. They may not even realize that they commit a crime, or they may realize but they feel it's excusable because it's policy, or because otherwise they may lose their jobs. So here we're really talking aboutthe links between power and crime.Now this is one area that much less generally known about the conventional or traditional crime. It's been relatively ignored by the mass media. For example, it tends to be underreported in comparison with conventional crime in news broadcasts and in crime series of films and so on. They very rarely deal with corporate crime. And it also tends to be ignored in academic circles, as being far more research on conventional crime and far more data is available.There're several reasons for this lack of interest in corporate crime compared with other types of crime. It's often very complex, whereas conventional crime, it's usually possible to follow what's going on without specialist knowledge. As well as this, whereas conventional crime has a lot of human interest, corporate crime often has much less. The third reason, and possibly the most significant one, is that very often that victims are unaware. They think their misfortune is an accident, or that is the fault of no one in particular. They're unaware that they've been victims of a crime.So when we look at the effects of corporate crime, we may find it's very difficult to assess the costs, but these costs can be very considerable in both their economic and social aspects.Let's look at the economic costs first. For example, if a company is producing fruit juice,and it dilutes its product, so that's just a little below the concentration it should be, many millions of people may be paying a small amount of extra for their carrot orange juice. Now some amounts like this may seem insignificant for individual customers, too small to worry about. But for the company, this deception might result in massive illegal profit. However all our studies of corporate crime agree that the individuals are in fact deprived of far more money by such crime than they're by conventional crime like robbery and theft.In addition to this we have to consider the social costs of corporate crime. And these are again very difficult to assess but they're considerable. They're important because they can undermine the faith of the public in the business world. And also, more importantly, because the main group of people they're in fact effected not the richer section of the society but the poorer. So here, companies are robbing the poorer then benefit the rich.There're two more points to do with corporate crime. Then I'd like to illustrate with the reference to a pacific event which occurred several years ago. This was an explosion of a large oil tanker which cost the loss of more than fifty lives of the crew. It was an explosion which never should have happened and the subsequent inquiry laid the blame not on anyone who's actually been on the tanker at the time but on the owners of the tanker. They had deliberately decided not to carry out necessary repair work on the tanker as it was due to be sold. And it was this lack of repair work which was directly responsible for the explosion.。

想出来的智慧2018年1月10日Unit 1Luis: Well, I guess the biggest change in my life over the last five years is that I got married. I used to be single, and now I’m not! I used to enjoy going out with friends every weekend- you know I was a lot more sociable. Now a more of own body, I liked to stay at home, watch TV- that kind of thing. It’s not so bad. I guess you could say that I grew up- I was tired of going out all the time and ready to settle down and start a family.Celine: For me the change has been with my work. I used to work in a large company. I worked in their corporate headquarters downtown in the accounting department. It was a great job- good money, decent benefits. When I first started at that company, I was very young and very ambitions. But after a while, I got tired of it. I was so unhappy there, and the commute was killing me! But one evening two years ago, I attended a seminar on working for yourself-you know, being self-employed and starting your own company. So I quit my job and gave it a try. It was scary at first, but after a little while I could see it was going to work out just fine for me. I couldn’t be happier.Diana: Gosh, five years ago I was a completely different person. You wouldn’t have recognized me if you’d seen me then! I talk a lot now, but I was more reserved then. And I hardly exercised at all. I never played any sports and rarely spent time outside. I was in terrible shape and worried about my health. But all that changed when I met my friend Judy. See, she convinced me to start slowly, you know, by walking every morning before work and swimming twice a week. Well, now I spend most of my free time outside- hiking, swimming when the weather’s good, playing tennis or racquetball- those kinds of things. I’m in pretty good shape now and feeling wonderful.Luis: Well, my wife is always saying that I’m not very good with money, not practical at all. She’s always teasing me about spending habits, but she’s right. When I see something I want, I just go and buy it, even if it is something I don’t really need. I guess I waste a lot of our money. We’re expecting our first child in December, and now that there’s going to be three of us, well , I think I do need to be more careful.Celine: working at home has been a real struggle. It’s been a lot harder than I imagined.I need to be more organized, that’s for sure. So, I ’ve decide to hire at a part-time secretary- you know, someone who can come in couple of times a week and help out with me phones, the filing, and just clean up in general. I’m so busy that sometimes I kind of let things get out of hand- the office gets really messy! I sure could use some help. Diana: Well, I started mountain climbing a year and a half ago, and I just love it. Well, the next step for me is to concentrate on that sport and see where I can go with it. I’d love to someday- say, five or ten years from now- go mountain climbing in the Himalayas. They have some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world. That would be a real adventure! But before I do anything like that, I have to practice, practice, practice! And I have to get stronger –mentally as well as physically.Paul: So, Andrea, you going home for the holidays?Andrea: I sure am. I’ve booked a fight for tomorrow afternoon and I can’t wait! Paul: That sounds great.Andrea: What about you? Going home, too?Paul: I haven’t decide d yet. I ‘m still debating…Andrea: Haven’t decide? Oh, you’re never going to get a flight out of there. I’m sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It’s the holiday season, after all!Paul: Well, it’s not such a big deal for me. My family only lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It’s a short trip.Andrea: You don’t sound very excited about it.Paul: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they’re spread out all over the place. One lives on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I even have a brother in Montreal!Andrea: oh, wow! What does he do?Paul: Translation work! It’s kind of strange, but we rarely get together as family anymore.Andrea: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We’re a big family- there are six of us children- so it’s always a lot of fun.Paul: Six kids?Andrea: Yep! And we’re all really close. You should see it- most of us are married, too, so it makes for a very crowded house over the holidays.Paul: I can imagine.Andrea: O f course. There are too many people to cook dinner for. It’s a real headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It’s pretty crazy.Paul: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So, when all of us do get home- which isn’t that often- she always cooks big, homemade meals. We have leftovers for days!Unit 2Carol: Well, I went away to college when I was seventeen. I’d never lived away fro m my parents before, and I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind, and I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with two other girls. I guess the thing I learned the most was how to get along with other- you know, how to respect other people’s opinions and property- stuff like that. At home I’d always had my own room. This was the first time I’d had to live with other people in the same room.We were all really different-I mean, our personalities and lifestyles were completely opposite in some ways! Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight quarters. Three seventeen-year-olds living in one room- can you imagine? I’m surprised we survived it at all.Michael: I think, for myself, the hardest thing was learning how to manage my owe time better. I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepared, and things liked that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class! It was a drag! Somehow, midway through the semester, I changed and started to do well.Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school, I didn’t have to wor ry- I had the same schedule every day, and at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibility for your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out yourself. Frank: I’m having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we’re so smart- that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the textbook confusing, and then I get discouraged. Well, some of us got together and formed a study group. It seems to work ok most of the time- we compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He’ll forget his notes or he won’t have read the book beforehand. That really bothers me and I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have hard time on the final exam.Regina: I’m trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing- most of the other kids have already picked it up, and I just can’t get it. There’s this software manual at school- I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There was simply too much information for me to remember. My probl em is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I’m not sure that what to do next.Sonia: I’m going to France next summer, so I want to learn as much French as I can. So, I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see, it’s supposed to be beginning –level class- no way! I’m telling you, most of the person in there- they already knew how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basicconversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am complete beginner! I did not know one word of French when I started this class! So I always feel lost- even from day one, I had no idea what was going on. Now, the teacher is nice, but he’s not very good! He gets off the topic, and he’ll get stuck on some tiny, little point for like half an hour at a time. But I really shouldn’t complain because after all, this class is free!Unit 3Andy: Well, this is Andy Wong, and we’re just about at the end of another episode of “Where in the world…?” But before we sign off, I’d like to tell you a little about tomorrow’s program. Tomorrow we have a very interesting report on two very exciting cities that I’m sure you won’t want to miss. Our reporters in the field, Deborah and Todd, are standing by to fill us in on the details. Deborah! Can you hear me?Deborah: Yes, Andy, loud and clear.Andy: Well, where are you?Deborah: You know I can’t tell you that, Andy! You have to watch tomorrow’s program to get the answer.Andy: oh, right! That’s right. Well, tell us about the place anyway.Deborah: ok. This city is a very exciting place to visit. First of all, it is one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is a very cosmopolitan city with a strong identity of its own. And the local food is unique. I really am enjoying the restaurants that serve barbecued beef, which is grilled right at your table. But I must warn you, much of the food is extremely spicy, so come prepared. Do you like spicy food, Andy?Andy: Love it!Deborah: Well, you should come on over, then! Andy, this city is very old! It was founded in the fourteenth century and is divided by the Han River. The city has a strikingcombination of modern and ancient architecture. In fact, most of the traditional architecture is located on the northern side of the river- when I am now. With its efficient subway system, it’s very easy to get around and see the sights.Andy: Great, Deborah. Thanks so much fo r…Deborah: oh, wait, Andy! One more thing I forgot to mention! The shopping- the street vendors here sell everything from shoes to electronics to furniture- all at discounted prices! Oops, have I said too much?Andy: No, no, not at all! Sounds like you’re having a fantastic time. We’re looking forward to hearing your full report tomorrow, and finding out just where in the world you are right now! Before we run out of time, though, let me turn it over to Todd. Todd? Are you there?Todd: I sure am. Hello, everyone. Well, my city is very old. It was founded in fifteen forty-nine by the Portuguese. It is now the third largest city in the country, with about two million inhabitants. It’s quite fascinating. Believe it or not, it’s built into a cliff, and it ov erlooks a beautiful bay. It’s actually on two levels. To get to the upper level you can take an elevator. From there you have a wonderful view of the bay. And if you enjoy swimming, there are beautiful beaches.Andy: well, Todd! I guess we know where you’re been the last few days! On the beach!Todd: Well, not exactly! Andy. There’s so much to see and do here. By the way, this city also has a strong African influence: you can see it in the music, food, and dance styles of the region.Andy: Mm-hmm. What do people like to do there?Todd: many people enjoy watching a special kind of dance that’s a mixture of dancing and fighting with an African origin. For those of you who enjoy nightlife, this city can’t be beat. It has several different street festivals during the year, each one like amini-carnival of its own.Andy: Great! Thanks a lot, Todd. Well, that certainly has given our listeners plenty to think about, but I’m sorry to say we’re out of time. That’s it, folks. This is Andy Wong reminding you to tun e in tomorrow for the next installment of our travel show,” where in the World…?” Goodnight, everybody!Interviewer: Hi, guys!Jose and Vicki: Hi.Interviewer: Thanks for agreeing to meet me here on such short notice.Jose: No problem.Interviewer: Well. Listen, as I said to you on the phone, I’m doing a story for the campus newspaper. I’m interviewing foreign students to get their impressions of our city. Um, this should only take about ten minutes or so. Let’s see…Uh, do you mind if I tape-record our interview?Vicki: Oh no, not at all.Interviewer: OK, then. Jose, why don’t we start with you. What do you think of San Francisco? How do you like it here so far?Jose: It’s OK! I guess.Interviewer: Oh, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.Jose: No, no. I like it. It’s just that I’ve been so busy studying. I haven’t had much time to explore the city.Interviewer: Oh. That’s too bad.Jose: Yeah. And when I have the time, well, it’s so cloudy and foggy here- especially in the summer. I never thought I’d be wearing a sweater in July!Interviewer: Well, this is Northern California. Hey, maybe you should move south. I hear Los Angeles is warmer. Vicki?Vicki: Oh, I love it here. I think this is a beautiful city. The rolling hills, the views of the bay- it’s very romantic.Interviewer: Yeah. So how do you guys spend your free time?Jose: Well, I’m studying architecture and am somewhat of a photographer…… Interviewer: Really?Jose: Oh, I’m just an amateur. Anyway, I …I’m always taking picture s of the building in this city. You know, the Victorians, the modern skyscrapers downtown, MOMA …… Interviewer: MOMA. You mean , the Museum of Modern Art?Jose: Right. There’s such a variety of buildings in this city. The architecture is really great. I also have taken pictures of other structures, like the Golden Gate Bridge- it looks totally different when the weather changes.Interviewer: Wow! That’s interesting. Ah, well, Vicki, it’s your turn. What do you like to do?Vicki: I like to explore the different neighborhoods. Yesterday I went to the Italian neighborhood, North Beach, to buy some pastries and have a cup of espresso. Today I’m going down to the Mission District to get a burrito for lunch.Interviewer: Hey, sounds like you like to eat!Vic ki: Yes. Actually, I like the Mission a lot. It’s a Hispanic neighborhood. We don’t have anything like that where I come from.Interviewer: Uh, well, that’s about it. Any final comments?Jose: No, not really.Vicki: I just like to say that this is the great place to live，It’s small after get around easy but big enough to offer all the advantages of large cities，I’m glad I got the chance to study hereLindsay: So, Eric, how long have you lived in New York?Eric: All my life. I was born here. Sounds li ke you’re new in town.Lindsay: Two months. I just moved here from Michigan,Eric: Wow! That’s a big change. New York must be quite a shock.Lindsay: Well, not exactly. I lived here once before, when I went to graduate school. So, I …I guess you could say that I’m used to life in N ew York, if that’s possible. Eric: when did you live here?Lindsay: Oh, let’s see, …it must have been about eight years ago. Boy, the city sure has changed since then.Eric: I supposed so. I mean, they’re really cleaned up Times Square. It used to be some dirty. I mean, now it’s just full of tourists.Lindsay: Yeah. And the subways seem to run more on schedule now.\\Eric: Basically, I think the city is safer anywhere you go, probably because we have so many more police officers on the street.Lindsay: Oh, that’s for sure! You know, though, one thing I can’t get used to is the noise- especially those garbage trucks! They come at five in the morning and are so loud. The noise wakes me up every time!Eric: I guess I’ve lived here so long I don’t hear it anymore. I can sleep through just about anything. You know the one thing I am tired of –the weather. I mean, I’m notsick and tired of these long, cold winters. I’m thinking about moving next year. Lindsay: Really?Eric: Ye ah. I mean, like I said, I’ve live here all my life, and I feel like I need some kind of change. You know, a new environment. it’s time to get out of New York. Lindsay: Hmm. Not me! I love the nightlife: the theater and the great restaurants. I can’t wait to get out and discover all that New York is offering!Unit 4 Lisa: Uh, well, I'm a freelance writer, and that means that I work at home. And a lot of people think my job is easier because I don't have to go the office every day. And I don't have to deal with office politics. But, you know, the truth is, my job is very hard. I have to be very organized and very disciplined. and pretty self-motivated. And when I have a problem, there is no one around to help me- I have to solve it myself. And sometimes I worry about money. So when I get stressed, I take a hot bath to relax, and then I curl up in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea. And that usually does the trick at the end of a long and very hard day.Sean: Traffic stresses me out. I do a lot driving to school and to my part-time job. Drivers can be so rude, especially during rush hour. I try to ignore them by listening to my favorite music in the car. Then, when I get home, I try to something fun to relax. I'll watch a funny movie or go to a friend's house- something like that. Anything to take my mind off school and work.Victor: I work in the hospital emergency room. You can imagine how stressful that is! Everyone is in a hurry and under tremendous pressure. The doctors are demanding, and there's always too much to do. I cope with all this stress by going to the gym at least four times a week. My friend got me started weight lifting, and now I'm addicted. When I feel especially frustrated, it feels good to go to the gym and throw those weights around. The other thing I do it is get out of the city. Every month or so, I go for a drive in the country. The fresh air and the quite do wonders for me.Lucia: I have this recurring dream. I'm back in high school, and in my dream, the school Ilooks mostly th e same as it did, but much bigger. The weird thing is ……that although I'm now twenty years old, I had to go back to high school and study with all these fifteen-year-olds. It's very embarrassing. No one seems to notice that I'm much older and shouldn't be there in the first place. But still, it's very uncomfortable. I keep thinking. "What am I doing here?" Well, I think it must be a couple of weeks into school, and I've lost my class schedule. I start walking through the halls trying to find the main office. I can't find it. No matter how far, how many hallways, I just can't find it. I know I'm late for class, and this really worries me. Finally , I wind up in my math class, but it's almost over- so I've missed most of it, and I don't know what the homework is, and I think I've missed an important test, or something. Basically, that's the dream. I think I have that dream when I am worried or overwhelmed about something that is happening in my life at the time.Rick: my name is Rick, and I sometimes have this dream, this bad dream. Really it's a nightmare. I'm in danger, but I'm not sure from what, and I can't move or scream or anything. I can feel something coming closer and closer to me, and, you know, it's really strange because usually in the dream I am exactly where I am in real life- like in my own bed in my bedroom- and everything is very realistic. The only part is dreamlike is that I can't move. Sometimes I can't even open my eyes, or I can open one eye, usually I have to alert someone, or possible save someone, although the person often changes. Anyway, I can't do anything because I can't move. It's really terrifying. You know, I think the dream means that I'm feeling there's something in my life that I can't control, although I should be able to. Once I had the dream when one of my children was very sick, and I just felt completely helpless. I hate feeling that way.Unit 5 Yoshiko: In some ways, I'm a typical Japanese teenager. I go to a public high school and wear a uniform, just like everyone else. I go to school five and a half days a week- I get Sundays off. I have interests similar to most of my friends: I like to play video games and am a big fan of American movies. Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors. There's one big way I'm different, though. I spent almost six years living outside Japan. My father's company transferred him overseas, and of course we went with him. Living in a foreign culture was really tough at first, but I guess I'm lucky in a way. I learned to speak English,and I made a lot of new friends. So you can see that I'm really quite a bit different from my classmates!Renato: My life is pretty typical, I think. I head off school at seven in the morning, and school finishes at midday. After school, I usually study or play soccer. On weekends, I like to get together with my friends. We usually hang out in one of the shopping centers. Everyone just shows up there on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a lot of fun……most of the time. I think one way I am different is that I like to do my own thing sometimes. I don't always want to hang out with the group. There's a lot of peer pressure to spend time with my friends, but I don't listen to what they say. I guess you could say that I think for myself. Sometimes it makes my friends angry, but that's just the way I am. Suzanne: I guess I worry about the same things other kids my age to do ……you know, grades, getting along with my parents…… I am doing OK in school, but I have to study really hard. I want to make sure that my grades are good enough so I can get into a decent university. I am pretty typical: I go to classes, attend club meetings after school, and do homework at night. Weekends are great because I get to sleep late. Oh yeah, I am also a member of the orchestra at school. I pay the violin. My school is different from a typical school in the United States. We study all the core subjects- like most other students- in the morning: science, math, English, history-the usual stuff. In the afternoon, though, we study things like music, dance, and art. You see, I go to a special school for the arts. A lot of us have dreams of becoming dancers or singers someday. That's why we spend so much time learning about the arts.Dominique: You see, I find making an expensive purchase quite difficult. Probably because I don't want to make a mistake and get stuck, especially for something that costs a lot of money, like a car. You see, when I bought my car, I knew I just couldn't go into a showroom and choose a car! No impulse purchases for me! I needed a lot of time to think it over and consider the options. So, I read consumer magazines to see how they rated their cars. I wanted to know the average prices and safety records of different cars. I mean, you never know...I also talked to people in the field who are knowledgeable. You know, the guy down the street who works in the garage, oh, and, uh, also, my brother-in-law--he's a car fanatic.And once I decided which one I liked, I finally went to the showroom to test-drive the car. I suppose you could say that my approach takes a lot of time, but I feel secure in my decisions.Carla: I'm in charge of hiring new staff for my department at work. I mean, several of us do the interviews, but I'm the person who gives the final approval. If I say "no," then the person isn't hired. It's a lot of pressure! Sometimes I get stressed out about it. I have to admit that I hate to waste time making decisions. It's funny, my boss does it completely differently. She just likes to sit and think, you know, mull over the information and let the decision "come to her." We have completely different styles! I think I've learned a lot from my previous mistakes: You just have to go with your instincts--that is, do what you think is best and then just hope that it works out. I mean, we all get strong feelings about things, and usually those feeling are right. The important thing is to act quickly! Up until now I've been pretty lucky. The people I've hired have all worked out--no major problems so far.Wayne: When I have to make an important decision, I find I need to talk to a lot of people, get their input. If I have to do it myself, I get confused. It's like the more I think about something and consider all the options, the more frustrated I get. I could sit and analyze something forever. My friends say that I can always see both sides of everything, which makes it hard to decide on anything! You can imagine how irritated my friends must get. When I was deciding where to spend my long Christmas holidays last year, I asked everyone for help. Basically what I did was pose this question: "Where would you go in December if you had three weeks?" I listened to all the answers and then made my decision. You might think I'm strange, but it worked. Based on everyone's advice, I went to Miami. I had an amazing vacation!Unit 6 Unit6: Lesson A: ListeningFirst conversationLiz: Hi,...Pete?Pete: Yes. Hello.Liz: I'm Liz, Donna's mother. Donna has told me all about you.Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton.Liz: It's nice to meet you, too. So, are you enjoying the party?Pete: Yeah, it's great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I've been pretty busy. I haven't had much time to sample the food.Liz: I know what you mean. I can't believe that all you kids are finally graduating. Donna has grown up so fast! Do you have any plans after graduation?Pete: Well, I've applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I'll probably find out if I got the job or not next week.Liz: You’re more adventurous than Donna. She's going to take a job right here in town, at least for the summer. After that, who knows?Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,...wait a minute. I'm sorry. I think Dan is leaving the party. Excuse me, Mrs. Morton, I've got to talk to him before he goes.Liz: Certainly. It was nice meeting you, Pete.Pete: Same here.Liz: Oh, and good luck with your job search.Pete: Thanks. Thanks a lot.Second conversationMan 1: You know, I...uh...I kind of like this music.Man 2: Well, it is lively. I'll say that for it.Man 1: Great music for dancing.Man 2: Dancing? Yeah. I guess. For young people, anyway.Man 1: What? What, you think we're too old?Man 2: Oh, no. You're not thinking..Man 1: And why not? It looks like fun! Why should we sit here while everyone else is having a great time?Man 2: If you start dancing to this music, you're going to make a fool out of yourself. Man 1: Hmm. That's what you think.Man 2: Anyway, who would you dance with?Man 1: Oh? Is that a challenge?Man 2: Oh, no. Woman: Hey, there. Want to dance?Man 1: Uh,...why...why, yes, I would, young lady. (turns to Man 2) Uh, excuse me. It's been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I've got to go.Third conversationWoman 1: Mmmm,...this is delicious. I love stuffed grape leaves.Woman 2: Ummm. Me, too. It all tastes delicious. Do you think they made all this themselves? Or did they have it catered?Woman 1: Oh, no. George is a great cook. Why would they cater it?Woman 2: Really?Woman 1: Oh, yeah.Woman 2: George cooks?Woman 1: You didn't know that? Lynn's always saying that's half the reason she married him!Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He completely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen.Woman 1: You know, my husband's talking about signing up for an Italian cooking class on Saturdays. Oh, I hope he does it.Woman 2: Oh. I wonder if I could convince my husband to do that. I'd sure love being the taste tester for his recipes.Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I'll let you know when the class starts. Woman 2: Great! Please do. In the meantime, I think I'll go mention it to him. Talk to you soon.Woman 1: OK. Bye.Unit6: Lesson B: ListeningNicole: I got some incredible news over the weekend!Man: Yeah? What happened?Nicole: Well, my sister is finally getting married.Man: Really? Well, that is exciting! How long have they been seeing each other? Nicole: Oh, I mean, it's been over four years. We all knew that they would get married someday, but no one expected it to happen now. And you know what? Yhe funny part is how it happened.Man: Yeah?Nicole: Yeah. OK, listen. They were on a cruise, and one night while they were sitting on the deck of the ship, looking at the stars... Man: Ah,...let me guess. He pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him.Nicole: No, smarty. The other way around. She asked him! She got right down on one knee and proposed.。

I'm taking your course in Population Studies.DR JOHNSON: Right. Well, Melanie, how can I help you?MELANIE: I'm ... having a bit of trouble with the second assignment, and it's due intwelve days.DR JOHNSON: What sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem?MELANIE:Well, that's part of the problem. I'm also having ‐ been having ‐ trouble gettinghold of the books. I've been to the library several times, and all the books areout. DR JOHNSON: Sounds like you should have started borrowing books a bit earlier.MELANIE: Well, I had a really big assignment due in for another course, and I've beenspending all my time on that, and I thought ...DR JOHNSON: ... you might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me? MELANIE: If that's possible, but I don't know ...DR JOHNSON: Well, yes, it is possible, but extensions are normally given only for medical orcompassionate reasons, otherwise it's really a question of organising your study, and we don't like giving extensions to students who simply didn't plantheir work properly. What did you get for your first assignment?MELANIE: I got eighty ‐seven per cent.DR JOHNSON: Mmm, yes, you did very well indeed, so obviously you can produce good work.MELANIE: I don't think I'll need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some ofthe important references.DR JOHNSON: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I'm prepared to give you anextra two weeks for this one, so that'll mean you'll need to submit it about amonth from now.MELANIE:Thank you. DR JOHNSON: Now, what about the reading materials? Have you checked out the journalarticles in the list?Ferritic 整理Page 2 of 3MELANIE: Umm, no, not yet, there were about twenty of them, and I wasn't sure whichones would be most useful or important.DR JOHNSON: Well, they're all useful, but I don't expect anyone to read them all, because anumber of them deal with the same issues. Let me give you some suggestions.The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading.MELANIE:Right, I'll read that one. DR JOHNSON:You should also read the article by Jackson, but just look at the part on the research methodology ‐ how they did it. MELANIE:OK ... Jackson, got that ... DR JOHNSON:And if you have time, the one by Roberts says very relevant things, although. it's not essential MELANIE: So, OK, if it's useful, I'll try and read that one ...DR JOHNSON: Now, the one by Morris. I wouldn't bother with that at this stage, if I were you.MELANIE: OK, I won't bother with Morris. Oh, now, someone told me the article byCooper is important.DR JOHNSON: Well, yes, in a way, but just look at the last part, where he discusses theresearch results. And lastly, there's Forster ‐ I can't think why I included thatone. It's not bad and could be of some help, but not that much.‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ DR JOHNSON:Now, let's deal with the assignment question. What's the problem there? MELANIE:It's the graph on page two. DR JOHNSON:What seems to be the problem? It's just the bar graph showing reasons why people change where they live. MELANIE:Well, I've got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing. DR JOHNSON:OK. Look at the first bar on the graph ‐ now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space. MELANIE: Oh I see ... bar one. OK ... Now what about the next bar?Ferritic 整理Page 3 of 3DR JOHNSON: Bar two is to do with the people living nearby disturbing them, so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now let's look at bar number three ... another reason people change their place of living is because they want to be closer to the city.MELANIE: OK. Proximity to the city is an issue ...DR JOHNSON: Now ... bar number four refers to problems when the owner of the propertywon't help fix things that go wrong. In other words, the owner is nothelpful and so the tenants move out.MELANIE:OK ... now what about bar five? DR JOHNSON:Bar five is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get them into the city or to go to work. MELANIE:OK ... and bar six? DR JOHNSON:Bar number six is Interesting. That reason was given quite a lot ‐ people moving because they wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood. MELANIE:Oh, yes, thank you very much.。

I hope yolul enjoy'the trips.test1_section2Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit, I'm just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I won't keep you long. OK?Now from where we're standing you've got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the region's rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So industrial villages like this one became very rare.So that's the history for you. If you'd like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guidebook.Now I ' m going to give you a plan of the site and I ' d just like to point out where everything is an you can take a look at everything for yourself. I ' ve already pointed out the river, which is on th And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance.See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the ticket office. You won'tneed that because you ' ve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shopthat is where you can get copies of the guide like this one here. Now beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big stone building at the top is the main workshop. That ' s where the firm is and where all the metal was melted and tools were cut as you will be able to see. Now in the top right hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the show room where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages were on display. In the top left corner is the grinding shop where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the engine room and on the other is the caf e , which isn ' t too antiquecyt o u would beknow though they do serve very nice old fashion teas. The lower buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the works towards the end of the eighteenth century and they are still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the Stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right. If any one wants a guided tour, then I am starting at the engine room. If youcome along this way please, ladies and gentlemen.test1_section3W: Excuse me, Dr. Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute?M: Sure. Come in.W: I ' m Melanie Griffin. I ' m taking your course in population studies.M: Right, so, well, Melanie, how can I help you?W: I ' m having a bit trouble with the second assignment and it' s due in 12 days. M: What ' s the sort of trouble are you having? Isethassignment question a problem? W: Well, that ' s part of the problem. I ' m also having …been having trouble getting hold of the I I ' ve been to the library several times and all the books were out.M: It sounds like you should start borrowing the books a bit earlier.W: Well I have really a big assignment due for another course and I have been spending all my time on that and I thought …M: And you might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me?W: If that ' s possible. But I don ' t know …M: Well. Yes it ' psossible. But extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons. Otherwise, that ' resally a question of organizing your study and we don ' ltike giving an extension to a student who simply didn ' ptlan the work properly. What did you get for your first assignment?W: M: W: M: for this one. So, that will mean you need to submit it about a month from now.W: Oh thank you.M: Now what about the reading materials? So you check out the journal articles in the list?W: Oh, no, not yet. There were about twenty of them I wasn' t sure which ones should be most u or all important.M: Well they ' re all useful, but I don ' t expect anyone to read them all because a number of themI got 87 percent.Umm. Yes, you did very well indeed. So obviously you can produce good work.I don ' t think I need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some important references.Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I' m prepared to give you an extra twowith the same issues. And let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker isreally worth reading.W: Right. I ' ll read that one.M: You should also read the article by Jackson but just look at the part at the research methodology how they did it.W: Ok, Jackson, I got that.M: And if you have time the one by Roberts says very a lot of things although it ' W: Ok. If it ' s useful I ' ll try with that one.M: Now the one by Morris. I wouldn ' t borrow with that at this stage if I were you.W: Ok, I won ' t borrow with Morris. Oh now, someone told me that the article by Cooper is important. M: Oh yes, but just look at the last part where it discusses the research result.W: And last there 's Forster. I can' t think why I included that one.bTadhaatnd could be 'sosmneothelp but not that much. M: Now let ' s deal with the assignment question. WhatW: It ' s graph from page 2.M: It seems to be the problem is just about the bar graph showing reasons why peoples change where they live.W: Well I ' ve got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing.M: Ok. Look at the first bar on the graph. Now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space.W: Oh, I see. Bar one. Ok, now what ' s about the next bar?M: Bar two is to do with the people who live nearby disturbing them so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now let ' s look at bar No.3. Another reason people change their places of living is because they want to be closer to the city.W: Ok. Proximity to the city is the issue.M: Now bar No.4 refers to problems when the owner of the property won In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out.W: Ok, now what about Bar 5.M: Bar 5 is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get among the city or to go to work.W: Ok, and Bar 6?M: Bar No.6 is mid-resting. That reason was given quite a lot. People move in because they wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood.W: Oh yes. Thank you very much.test1_section4Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I've been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. There're two major areas that I'll focus on in my talk: how vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate and how we can better plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment for us to living.Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make our cities, as a whole, a bit less windy or a bit more windy as that what you want. They can make it a bit cooler if it's a hot summer day in an Australian city or they can make it a bit more humid if it's a dry inland city. On the local scale, that is a particular area within the city, trees can make the local area more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy. In fact, trees ands not e ' s the problem there? ' t help fix things go wplantings of various of kinds can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous in particular areas.How do trees do that, you'll ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporates water through its leaves. And that means the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be 20 degrees more than our temperature. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they sweat. This means they can humidify the air and cool it, a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate.Trees can also help break the force of the winds. The reason that high buildings may keep windier at ground level is that as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and faster. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesn't happen when you have trees. Trees filter the wind and considerably reduce it preventing those very large strong gusts that you so often find around tall buildings.Another problem in built-up areas is the traffic noise is intensified by tall buildings. By planting a belt of trees at the side of the road, you can make things a little quieter but much of the vehicle noise still goes through the trees. Trees can also help reduce the amount of noise in the surroundings, although the effect is not as large as people would like to think. Low frequency noise, in particular, just goes through the trees as that they aren't there.Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do, however, take up a lot of space. There're route system to consider and branches blocking the windows and so on. It may therefore be difficult to fit trees into the local landscape. There's not a great deal you can do if you have what we call a street canyon, a whole set of high-rises enclosed in the narrow street. Trees need water to grow. They also need some sunlight to grow and you need room to put them. If you have the chance of knocking buildings down and replacing them, then suddenly you can start looking at different ways to design the streets and to introduce...(End)test2_section1W: Oh, Peter, there you're. It's been ages. What catches so long?M: Sorry, I'm so late, Sally. Have you been waiting long?W: Half an hour. But it doesn't matter. I had a coffee and I had been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down.M: Umm.W: You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink?M: I'd love really chill mineral water or something. Would you have another coffee?W: Yes, I'll. The waitress will be back in a moment. Why are you so late. Did something happen?M: Yes. You know I went to the bank to cash something traveller's cheques. Well the exchange rate was looking very healthy but I went to the teller they told me that the computer system was temporarily down. So they couldn't do any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank and I forgot the time.W: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank. Does he work there?M: No, he was a tourist, from NY. His name is Henry. And he's been here for a week, but he's moving on toGermany tomorrow. He's an architect and he's spending four weeks travelling along Europe. W: Just like us? M: Yes, just like us. He told me the names of some places where we should eat. Great food and not too expensive, he said. Oh, and he also gave me this map of the buses to me, he said he didn't need it anymore. W: That's useful. But he's moving on tomorrow. Yes, here's the waitress. Let's order. Do you want something to eat? Or should we just have a drink?M: Well. I'm hungry. And we've got a lot of sightseeing to do. So let's just have a snack and drink.W: It sounds good to me.M: Well. Let's decide what we'll see today. I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral and then the Castle. What're the opening times for those two?W: Well, according to this guidebook, the Cathedral is only open from 9.30 in the morning until midday. (Ah...) No, hang on. That's the Cathedral Museum. (Oh!) The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon. The Castle is just open from 1 to 5 so we can't go there until after lunch. I really want to spend some time on the Art Gallery because they've got this wonderful painting by Rembrand(t 倫伯朗) that I always want to see.M: What else should we see?W: Well the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens worth spending some time in. And there're open all day from 8 to 6 so we go there anytime. (En...) I'd like to go to the markets near the river too. But ... Oh no way, that's only in the mornings too.M: As well as today and tomorrow, we can see some other places on Monday you know. But I don't think the markets will be open then. They only open on Thursdays. So we miss them for this week. Maybe we can go to the Cathedral today because it's Sunday tomorrow. And even though it's open every day it might be difficult to get in tomorrow because the chair services.W: That is true. But the Art Gallery isn't open on Sundays at all. So we'll have to go there today. (En) The Castle is open every day except Monday. So it'll okay there. And the Gardens of course is only closed at night. M: Are all these places free? Or do we have to pay to go in? What does the guidebook say?W: I think there's a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens. Oh and the markets. Of course you don't pay to go in.M: Okay, well, let's have a look at our plan at this. We'll go to see the painting, you like first, that the Rembrandt, then have lunch then we go on to the Castle after that and then the Cathedral.W: Okay. It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful.M: Is that right? But I really want to do with the Cathedral is climb the tower. The view is supposed to be spectaculous!W: Okay well that'll be more than enough today. And tomorrow let's go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic. (En!) I want to sit by the river and watch the swans. The city's famous for them.test2_section2So the Counselling Services we are for dealing with any problems arising from your studies or in your life outside the university.Let's take academic counselling. If you confuse about subjects or how to combine them of your degree, we can advise you and discuss the career you are aiming for, so that you can see it all in context. We can also chase up your tutor if you're not getting proper feedback on how you will be getting on your subjects.Besides help with academic problems, you may also need personal counselling. If you think you're already under stress, well, just wait to classes begin next week, you'll have to start adjusting to teaching and learning methods that may be unfamiliar to you as well as the mounting pressures the deadline for that first assignmentcreates upon you.And of course you'll have to cope with all these without your usual social network, you know, the social contacts, family and friends, you can normally rely on for help. All of this causes anxiety. Studying overseas can trigger a personal crisis. You may have left a lot of or you might call unfinished business back in your own country. Or you may have interrupted personal relationships or even sometimes broken them off to come overseas. And so students often feel so lonely, unhappy, unmotivated and unable to concentrate on study. Or there may be other things bothering you. Our resident chapel can offer you spiritual guidance if that what you want or we can put you in touch with community groups that can provide you with social contacts and friendship.What about exam stress? It effects nearly every one to some extent, but especially oversea students like yourselves. There may be a huge amount of family pressure on you to succeed. And if you fail a subject or drop off a course because it's too difficult, then your self-esteem can suffer, but it's not the end of the world if you don't pass an exam. I had a reset first year anthropology so I can certainly offer you a sympathetic hear. Anyway, exam failure can lead varying changes in the way you normally behave.You may also be off your food or you may have dietary problems because the local food is not to your liking and upset you and this can affect your health and studies. Glenda Roberts is our dietician in the health service and we can put you onto her.And we all have money problems, don't we? But remember full-time students can get a low interest loan of up to 600 dollars to buy books and for similar study related expenses. That's right. And you can get a double that amount if you can't afford an item or equipment you need for your course, so, musical instrument for example. That doesn't stop there. When you move into a flat, starting-up expensesincluding furniture afford can be covered by a loan through the welfare service. See Jill Freeman for details.Can we help you? Well last academic year in spite of staff cuts, we counselled 240 international students for a total of 2600 hours' counselling. And finally we won all the just one of the twelve appeals that we launched on behaves of the students. Not too bad for an understaff service, don't you think? That's all for me. Thank you.test2_section3W:Oh, there you are, good. Sorry I'm a bit late. There was a long queue. So have you work out how to do with the assignment then?M1: Not yet. We've been here only a couple of minutes ourselves.W: Can you just remind me what the task is exactly?M2: Well there're two, err, no, three parts to it. The first we have got to write an essay about ways of collecting data, then...W: What's the title of the essay exactly?M1: I've got a here. Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research.W: And how much do we need to write?M1: 1500 words. That's the essay. Then for the second part of this assignment we have to choose one method of data collection and carry out a small-scale study making appropriate use of the method chosen to get data from at least 5 subjects.W: And then we have to write a report on the study?M2: That's right. It's three to four thousands words.W: Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for? Questionnaire or interview, isn't it?M1: Yes, I think we should do a questionnaire. That would be so much less time consuming than organizing interviews, I recommend. Once we've agreed on the wording we only have to send it out and wait for the responses.W: Yes...I think it probably would be quicker. But what that are the article gave us last week say about the quality of data from questionnaires？M1: I'm pretty sure recommended questionnaires are source of highly reliable data as long as you design the questionnaire properly in the first place the data will be fine.W: No. I'm sure it talks about drawbacks as well, doesn't it, something about the response rate and the problems you get if it is too low.M1: Yes, but we only need data from 5 subjects, anyway.W: Oh, I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentions was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected because it is limited to the questions fixed in advance by the researcher. M1: Come on, Rose. This is only a practice. It seems not a real research, is it?W: Well, I'm sure about that.W: Maybe I'll be back through the article again. Just to be sure. Can you remember what was called?M: Sample surveys and social science research, I think, by Mehta.W: M-E-H-T-A?M: Yep. And he also recommended a more reasonable called Survey research by Belle, I think. It's an art series published by London University.M2: And if we try to use interviews instead I saw a book in the departmental library that will be helpful for this it is called Interviews that work by Wilson published in Oxford in 1988.W: Right. Oh, I have got a tutorial now. Can we meet up again later this week. What about Friday morning? M: Suits me. 11 o'clock?W: Fine.M: Before Friday, I think we should all look though the reading list.test2_section4So far, in these lectures, we've been looking at crimes like robbery and murder, both from historical view of point and also in contemporary society. And we've seen the preoccupation of western societies with crime and with lawlessness is a pile of long and continuous tradition rather than something which is null and unique to modern society.But over the past 70 years or so, there's been a massive increase in one type of crime which was what's known as corporate crime. Corporate crime is crime which as the name suggests, is connected with companies, with business organizations. It includes illegal acts leader, individuals or a group within a company. But what is important is that these actors normally in accordance with the goals of the company. They're for the good of the company rather than the individual. It's been defined as, quote, crime which is committed for the corporate organization, the company, not against it, unquote. So crimes like theft by employees, things like... err... embezzlement or fraud against one's actual employer are excluded, according to this definition. The employees maybe involve but they're acting in the first place for the company. They may not even realize that they commit a crime, or they may realize but they feel it's excusable because it's policy, or because otherwise they may losetheir jobs. So here we're really talking about the links between power and crime.Now this is one area that much less generally known about the conventional or traditional crime. It's been relatively ignored by the mass media. For example, it tends to be underreported in comparison with conventional crime in news broadcasts and in crime series of films and so on. They very rarely deal with corporate crime. And it also tends to be ignored in academic circles, as being far more research on conventional crime and far more data is available.There're several reasons for this lack of interest in corporate crime compared with other types of crime. It's often very complex, whereas conventional crime, it's usually possible to follow what's going on without specialist knowledge. As well as this, whereas conventional crime has a lot of human interest, corporate crime often has much less. The third reason, and possibly the most significant one, is that very often that victims are unaware. They think their misfortune is an accident, or that is the fault of no one in particular. They're unaware that they've been victims of a crime.So when we look at the effects of corporate crime, we may find it's very difficult to assess the costs, but these costs can be very considerable in both their economic and social aspects.Let's look at the economic costs first. For example, if a company is producing fruit juice, and it dilutes its product, so that's just a little below the concentration it should be, many millions of people may be paying a small amount of extra for their carrot orange juice. Now some amounts like this may seem insignificant for individual customers, too small to worry about. But for the company, this deception might result in massive illegal profit. However all our studies of corporate crime agree that the individuals are in fact deprived of far more money by such crime than they're by conventional crime like robbery and theft.In addition to this we have to consider the social costs of corporate crime. And these are again very difficult to assess but they're considerable. They're important because they can undermine the faith of the public in the business world. And also, more importantly, because the main group of people they're in fact effected not the richer section of the society but the poorer. So here, companies are robbing the poorer then benefit the rich.There're two more points to do with corporate crime. Then I'd like to illustrate with the reference to a pacific event which occurred several years ago. This was an explosion of a large oil tanker which cost the loss of more than fifty lives of the crew. It was an explosion which never should have happened and the subsequent inquiry laid the blame not on anyone who's actually been on the tanker at the time but on the owners of the tanker. They had deliberately decided not to carry out necessary repair work on the tanker as it was due to be sold. And it was this lack of repair work which was directly responsible for the explosion.Now this illustrates two points to do with corporate crime. First of all, that it's not had to be intentional. The owners of the tanker certainly did not intend it to explode but very serious consequence can result from people or organizations not considering the possible results are their actions seriously enough. The main crime here was indifference to the human results rather than actual intention to harm anyone. But that didn't make the results any less tragic. And this leads to my second point. That corporate crime can have very severe consequences. It's not just a matter of companies making big profits they should do, but of offense which may affect the lives of innocent people. And here're very often companies, because they say they didn't intend to。

想出来的智慧2018年1月10日Unit 1 Luis: Well, I guess the biggest change in my life over the last five years is that I got married. I used to be single, and now I’m not! I used to enjoy going out with friends every weekend- you know I was a lot more sociable. Now a more of own body, I liked to stay at home, watch TV- that kind of thing. It’s not so bad. I guess you could say that I grew up- I was tired of going out all the time and ready to settle down and start a family.Celine: For me the change has been with my work. I used to work in a large company. I worked in their corporate headquarters downtown in the accounting department. It was a great job- good money, decent benefits. When I first started at that company, I was very young and very ambitions. But after a while, I got tired of it. I was so unhappy there, and the commute was killing me! But one evening two years ago, I attended a seminar on working for yourself-you know, being self-employed and starting your own company. So I quit my job and gave it a try. It was scary at first, but after a little while I could see it was going to work out just fine for me. I couldn’t be happier.Diana: Gosh, five years ago I was a completely different person. You wouldn’t have recognized me if you’d seen me then! I talk a lot now, but I w as more reserved then. And I hardly exercised at all.I never played any sports and rarely spent time outside. I was in terrible shape and worried about my health. But all that changed when I met my friend Judy. See, she convinced me to start slowly, you know, by walking every morning before work and swimming twice a week. Well, now I spendmost of my free time outside- hiking, swimming when the weather’s good, playing tennis or racquetball- those kinds of things. I’m in pretty good shape now and feeling wo nderful.Luis: Well, my wife is always saying that I’m not very good with money, not practical at all. She’s always teasing me about spending habits, but she’s right. When I see something I want, I just go and buy it, even if it is something I don’t really need. I guess I waste a lot of our money. We’re expecting our first child in December, and now that there’s going to be three of us, well , I think I do need to be more careful.Celine: working at home has been a real struggle. It’s been a lot harder th an I imagined. I need to be more organized, that’s for sure. So, I ’ve decide to hire at a part-time secretary- you know, someone who can come in couple of times a week and help out with me phones, the filing, and just clean up in general. I’m so busy that sometimes I kind of let things get out of hand- the office gets really messy! I sure could use some help.Diana: Well, I started mountain climbing a year and a half ago, and I just love it. Well, the next step for me is to concentrate on that sport and se e where I can go with it. I’d love to someday- say, five or ten years from now- go mountain climbing in the Himalayas. They have some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world. That would be a real adventure! But before I do anything like that, I have to practice, practice, practice! And I have to get stronger –mentally as well as physically.Paul: So, Andrea, you going home for the holidays?Andrea: I sure am. I’ve booked a fight for tomorrow afternoon and I can’t wait!Paul: That sounds great.Andrea: What about you? Going home, too?Paul: I haven’t decide d yet. I ‘m still debating…Andrea: Haven’t decide? Oh, you’re never going to get a flight out of there. I’m sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It’s the holiday season, after all!Paul: Well, it’s not such a big deal for me. My family only lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It’s a short trip.Andrea: You don’t sound very excited about it.Paul: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they’re spread out all over the place. One lives on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I even have a brother in Montreal!Andrea: oh, wow! What does he do?Paul: Translation work! It’s kind of strange, but we rarely get together as family anymore. Andrea: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We’re a big family- there are six of us children- so it’s always a lot of fun.Paul: Six kids?Andrea: Yep! And we’re all really close. You should see it- most of us are married, too, so it makes for a very crowded house over the holidays.Paul: I can imagine.Andrea: O f course. There are too many people to cook dinner for. It’s a real headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It’s pret ty crazy.Paul: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So, when all of us do get home- which isn’t that often- she always cooks big, homemade meals. We have leftovers for days!Unit 2 Carol: Well, I went away to college when I was seventeen. I’d never lived away from my parents before, and I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind, and I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with two other girls. I guess the thing I learned the most was how to get along with other- you know, how to respect other people’s opinions and property- stuff like that. At home I’d always had my own room. This was the first time I’d had to live with other people in the s ame room.We were all really different-I mean, our personalities and lifestyles were completely opposite in some ways! Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight quarters. Three seventeen-year-olds living in one room- can you imagine? I’m surprised we survived it at all.Michael: I think, for myself, the hardest thing was learning how to manage my owe time better.I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepare d, and things liked that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class! It was a drag! Somehow, midway through the semester, I changed and started to do well. Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school, I did n’t have to worry- I had the same schedule every day, and at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibility for your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out yourself.Frank: I’m having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we’re so smart- that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the textbook confusing, and then I get discouraged. Well, some of us got together and formed a study group. It seems to work ok most of the time- we compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He’ll forget his notes or he won’t have read the book beforehand. That really bothers me and I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have hard time on the final exam.Regina: I’m trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of emb arrassing- most of the other kids have already picked it up, and I just can’t get it. There’s this software manual at school- I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There was simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I’m not sure that what to do next.Sonia: I’m going to France next summer, so I want to learn as much French as I can. So, I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see, it’s supposed to be beginning –level class- no way! I’m telling you, most of the person in there- they already knew how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am complete beginner! I did not know one word of French when I started this class! So I always feel lost- even from day one, I had no idea what was going on. Now, the teacher is nice, but he’s not very good! He gets off the topic, and he’ll get stuck on some tiny, little point for like half an hour at a time. But I really shouldn’t complain because after all, this class is free!Unit 3 Andy: Well, this is Andy Wong, and we’re just about at the end of another episode of “Where in the world…?” But before we sign off, I’d like to tell you a little about tomorrow’s program. Tomorrow we have a very interesting report on two very exciting cities that I’m sure you won’t want to miss. Our reporters in the field, Deborah and Todd, are standing by to fill us in on the details. Deborah! Can you hear me?Deborah: Yes, Andy, loud and clear.Andy: Well, where are you?Deborah: You know I can’t tell you that, Andy! You have to watch tomorrow’s program to get the answer.Andy: oh, right! That’s right. Well, tell us about the place anyway.Deborah: ok. This city is a very exciting place to visit. First of all, it is one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is a very cosmopolitan city with a strong identity of its own. And the local food is unique. I really am enjoying the restaurants that serve barbecued beef, which is grilled right at your table. But I must warn you, much of the food is extremely spicy, so come prepared. Do you like spicy food, Andy?Andy: Love it!Deborah: Well, you should come on over, then! Andy, this city is very old! It was founded in the fourteenth century and is divided by the Han River. The city has a striking combination of modern and ancient architecture. In fact, most of the traditional architecture is located on the northern side of the river- when I am now. With its efficient subway system, it’s very easy to get around and see the sights.Andy: Great, Deborah. Thanks so m uch for…Deborah: oh, wait, Andy! One more thing I forgot to mention! The shopping- the street vendors here sell everything from shoes to electronics to furniture- all at discounted prices! Oops, have I said too much?Andy: No, no, not at all! Sounds lik e you’re having a fantastic time. We’re looking forward to hearing your full report tomorrow, and finding out just where in the world you are right now! Before we run out of time, though, let me turn it over to Todd. Todd? Are you there?Todd: I sure am. Hello, everyone. Well, my city is very old. It was founded in fifteen forty-nine by the Portuguese. It is now the third largest city in the country, with about two million inhabitants. It’s quite fascinating. Believe it or not, it’s built into a cliff, and it overlooks a beautiful bay. It’s actually on two levels. To get to the upper level you can take an elevator. From there you have a wonderful view of the bay. And if you enjoy swimming, there are beautiful beaches.Andy: well, Todd! I guess we know wher e you’re been the last few days! On the beach! Todd: Well, not exactly! Andy. There’s so much to see and do here. By the way, this city also has a strong African influence: you can see it in the music, food, and dance styles of the region. Andy: Mm-hmm. What do people like to do there?Todd: many people enjoy watching a special kind of dance that’s a mixture of dancing and fighting with an African origin. For those of you who enjoy nightlife, this city can’t be beat. It has several different street festivals during the year, each one like a mini-carnival of its own. Andy: Great! Thanks a lot, Todd. Well, that certainly has given our listeners plenty to think about, but I’m sorry to say we’re out of time. That’s it, folks. This is Andy Wong reminding you to tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our travel show,” where in the World…?” Goodnight, everybody!Interviewer: Hi, guys!Jose and Vicki: Hi.Interviewer: Thanks for agreeing to meet me here on such short notice.Jose: No problem.Intervi ewer: Well. Listen, as I said to you on the phone, I’m doing a story for the campus newspaper. I’m interviewing foreign students to get their impressions of our city. Um, this should only take about ten minutes or so. Let’s see…Uh, do you mind if I tape-record our interview? Vicki: Oh no, not at all.Interviewer: OK, then. Jose, why don’t we start with you. What do you think of San Francisco? How do you like it here so far?Jose: It’s OK! I guess.Interviewer: Oh, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.Jose: No, no. I like it. It’s just that I’ve been so busy studying. I haven’t had much time to explore the city.Interviewer: Oh. That’s too bad.Jose: Yeah. And when I have the time, well, it’s so cloudy and foggy here- especially in the summer. I never thought I’d be wearing a sweater in July!Interviewer: Well, this is Northern California. Hey, maybe you should move south. I hear Los Angeles is warmer. Vicki?Vicki: Oh, I love it here. I think this is a beautiful city. The rolling hills, the views of the bay- it’s very romantic.Interviewer: Yeah. So how do you guys spend your free time?Jose: Well, I’m studying architecture and am somewhat of a photographer…… Interviewer: Really?Jose: Oh, I’m just an amateur. Anyway, I …I’m always taking picture s of the building in this city. You know, the Victorians, the modern skyscrapers downtown, MOMA ……Interviewer: MOMA. You mean , the Museum of Modern Art?Jose: Right. There’s such a variety of buildings in this city. The architecture is really great. I also have taken pictures of other structures, like the Golden Gate Bridge- it looks totally different when the weather changes.Interviewer: Wow! That’s interesting. Ah, well, Vicki, it’s your turn. What do you like to do? Vicki: I like to explore the different neighborhoods. Yesterday I went to the Italian neighborhood, North Beach, to buy some pastries and have a cup of espresso. Today I’m going down to the Mission District to get a burrito for lunch.Interviewer: Hey, sounds like you like to eat!Vic ki: Yes. Actually, I like the Mission a lot. It’s a Hispanic neighborhood. We don’t have anything like that where I come from.Interviewer: Uh, well, that’s about it. Any final comments?Jose: No, not really.Vicki: I just like to say that this is the great place to live，It’s small after get around easy but big enough to offer all the advantages of large cities，I’m glad I got the chance to study hereLindsay: So, Eric, how long have you lived in New York?Eric: All my life. I was born here. Sounds li ke you’re new in town.Lindsay: Two months. I just moved here from Michigan,Eric: Wow! That’s a big change. New York must be quite a shock.Lindsay: Well, not exactly. I lived here once before, when I went to graduate school. So, I …I guess you could s ay that I’m used to life in N ew York, if that’s possible.Eric: when did you live here?Lindsay: Oh, let’s see, …it must have been about eight years ago. Boy, the city sure has changed since then.Eric: I supposed so. I mean, they’re really cleaned up T imes Square. It used to be some dirty. I mean, now it’s just full of tourists.Lindsay: Yeah. And the subways seem to run more on schedule now.\\Eric: Basically, I think the city is safer anywhere you go, probably because we have so many more police officers on the street.Lindsay: Oh, that’s for sure! You know, though, one thing I can’t get used to is the noise- especially those garbage trucks! They come at five in the morning and are so loud. The noise wakes me up every time!Eric: I guess I’ve lived here so long I don’t hear it anymore. I can sleep through just about anything. You know the one thing I am tired of –the weather. I mean, I’m not sick and tired of these long, cold winters. I’m thinking about moving next year. Lin dsay: Really?Eric: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I’ve live here all my life, and I feel like I need some kind of change. You know, a new environment. it’s time to get out of New York.Lindsay: Hmm. Not me! I love the nightlife: the theater and the great re staurants. I can’t wait to get out and discover all that New York is offering!Unit 4 Lisa: Uh, well, I'm a freelance writer, and that means that I work at home. And a lot of people think my job is easier because I don't have to go the office every day. And I don't have to deal with office politics. But, you know, the truth is, my job is very hard. I have to be very organized and very disciplined. and pretty self-motivated. And when I have a problem, there is no one around to help me- I have to solve it myself. And sometimes I worry about money. So when I get stressed, I take a hot bath to relax, and then I curl up in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea. And that usually does the trick at the end of a long and very hard day.Sean: Traffic stresses me out. I do a lot driving to school and to my part-time job. Drivers can be so rude, especially during rush hour. I try to ignore them by listening to my favorite music in the car. Then, when I get home, I try to something fun to relax. I'll watch a funny movie or go to a friend's house- something like that. Anything to take my mind off school and work.Victor: I work in the hospital emergency room. You can imagine how stressful that is! Everyone is in a hurry and under tremendous pressure. The doctors are demanding, and there's always too much to do. I cope with all this stress by going to the gym at least four times a week. My friend got me started weight lifting, and now I'm addicted. When I feel especially frustrated, it feels good to go to the gym and throw those weights around. The other thing I do it is get out of the city. Every month or so, I go for a drive in the country. The fresh air and the quite do wonders for me.Lucia: I have this recurring dream. I'm back in high school, and in my dream, the school I looks mostly the same as it did, but much bigger. The weird thing is ……that although I'm now twenty years old, I had to go back to high school and study with all these fifteen-year-olds. It's very embarrassing. No one seems to notice that I'm much older and shouldn't be there in the first place. But still, it's very uncomfortable. I keep thinking. "What am I doing here?" Well, I think it must be a couple of weeks into school, and I've lost my class schedule. I start walking through the halls trying to find the main office. I can't find it. No matter how far, how many hallways, I just can't find it. I know I'm late for class, and this really worries me. Finally , I wind up in my math class, but it's almost over- so I've missed most of it, and I don't know what the homework is, and I think I've missed an important test, or something. Basically, that's the dream. I think I have that dream when I am worried or overwhelmed about something that is happening in my life at the time.Rick: my name is Rick, and I sometimes have this dream, this bad dream. Really it's a nightmare. I'm in danger, but I'm not sure from what, and I can't move or scream or anything. I can feel something coming closer andcloser to me, and, you know, it's really strange because usually in the dream I am exactly where I am in real life- like in my own bed in my bedroom- and everything is very realistic. The only part is dreamlike is that I can't move. Sometimes I can't even open my eyes, or I can open one eye, usually I have to alert someone, or possible save someone, although the person often changes. Anyway, I can't do anything because I can't move. It's really terrifying. You know, I think the dream means that I'm feeling there's something in my life that I can't control, although I should be able to. Once I had the dream when one of my children was very sick, and I just felt completely helpless. I hate feeling that way.Unit 5 Yoshiko: In some ways, I'm a typical Japanese teenager. I go to a public high school and wear a uniform, just like everyone else. I go to school five and a half days a week- I get Sundays off. I have interests similar to most of my friends: I like to play video games and am a big fan of American movies. Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors. There's one big way I'm different, though. I spent almost six years living outside Japan. My father's company transferred him overseas, and of course we went with him. Living in a foreign culture was really tough at first, but I guess I'm lucky in a way. I learned to speak English, and I made a lot of new friends. So you can see that I'm really quite a bit different from my classmates!Renato: My life is pretty typical, I think. I head off school at seven in the morning, and school finishes at midday. After school, I usually study or play soccer. On weekends, I like to get together with my friends. We usually hang out in one of the shopping centers. Everyone just shows up there on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a lot of fun……most of the time. I think one way I am different is t hat I like to do my own thing sometimes. I don't always want to hang out with the group. There's a lot of peer pressure to spend time with my friends, but I don't listen to what they say. I guess you could say that I think for myself. Sometimes it makes my friends angry, but that's just the way I am.Suzanne: I guess I worry about the same things other kids my age to do ……you know, grades, getting along with my parents…… I am doing OK in school, but I have to study really hard. I want to make sure that my grades are good enough so I can get into a decent university. I am pretty typical: I go to classes, attend club meetings after school, and do homework at night. Weekends are great because I get to sleep late. Oh yeah, I am also a member of the orchestra at school. I pay the violin. My school is different from a typical school in the United States. We study all the core subjects- like most other students- in the morning: science, math, English, history-the usual stuff. In the afternoon, though, we study things like music, dance, and art. You see, I go to a special school for the arts. A lot of us have dreams of becoming dancers or singers someday. That's why we spend so much time learning about the arts.Dominique: You see, I find making an expensive purchase quite difficult. Probably because I don't want to make a mistake and get stuck, especially for something that costs a lot of money, like a car. You see, when I bought my car, I knew I just couldn't go into a showroom and choose a car! No impulse purchases for me! I needed a lot of time to think it over and consider the options. So, I read consumer magazines to see how they rated their cars. I wanted to know the average prices and safety records of different cars. I mean, you never know...I also talked to people in the field who are knowledgeable. You know, the guy down the street who works in the garage, oh, and, uh, also, my brother-in-law--he's a car fanatic.And once I decided which one I liked, I finally went to the showroom to test-drive the car. I suppose you could say that my approach takes a lot of time, but I feel secure in my decisions.Carla: I'm in charge of hiring new staff for my department at work. I mean, several of us do the interviews, but I'm the person who gives the final approval. If I say "no," then the person isn't hired. It's a lot of pressure! Sometimes I get stressed out about it. I have to admit that I hate to waste time making decisions. It's funny, my boss does it completely differently. She just likes to sit and think, you know, mull over the information and letthe decision "come to her." We have completely different styles! I think I've learned a lot from my previous mistakes: You just have to go with your instincts--that is, do what you think is best and then just hope that it works out. I mean, we all get strong feelings about things, and usually those feeling are right. The important thing is to act quickly! Up until now I've been pretty lucky. The people I've hired have all worked out--no major problems so far.Wayne: When I have to make an important decision, I find I need to talk to a lot of people, get their input. If I have to do it myself, I get confused. It's like the more I think about something and consider all the options, the more frustrated I get. I could sit and analyze something forever. My friends say that I can always see both sides of everything, which makes it hard to decide on anything! You can imagine how irritated my friends must get. When I was deciding where to spend my long Christmas holidays last year, I asked everyone for help. Basically what I did was pose this question: "Where would you go in December if you had three weeks?" I listened to all the answers and then made my decision. You might think I'm strange, but it worked. Based on everyone's advice, I went to Miami. I had an amazing vacation!Unit 6 Unit6: Lesson A: ListeningFirst conversationLiz: Hi,...Pete?Pete: Yes. Hello.Liz: I'm Liz, Donna's mother. Donna has told me all about you.Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton.Liz: It's nice to meet you, too. So, are you enjoying the party?Pete: Yeah, it's great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I've been prettybusy. I haven't had much time to sample the food.Liz: I know what you mean. I can't believe that all you kids are finally graduating. Donna has grown up so fast! Do you have any plans after graduation?Pete: Well, I've applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I'll probably find out if I got the job or not next week. Liz: You’re more adventurous than Donna. She's going to take a job rig ht here in town, at least for the summer. After that, who knows?Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,...wait a minute. I'm sorry. I think Dan is leaving the party. Excuse me, Mrs. Morton, I've got to talk to him before he goes.Liz: Certainly. It was nice meeting you, Pete.Pete: Same here.Liz: Oh, and good luck with your job search.Pete: Thanks. Thanks a lot.Second conversationMan 1: You know, I...uh...I kind of like this music.Man 2: Well, it is lively. I'll say that for it.Man 1: Great music for dancing.Man 2: Dancing? Yeah. I guess. For young people, anyway.Man 1: What? What, you think we're too old?Man 2: Oh, no. You're not thinking..Man 1: And why not? It looks like fun! Why should we sit here while everyone else is having a great time? Man 2: If you start dancing to this music, you're going to make a fool out of yourself.Man 1: Hmm. That's what you think.Man 2: Anyway, who would you dance with?Man 1: Oh? Is that a challenge?Man 2: Oh, no. Woman: Hey, there. Want to dance?Man 1: Uh,...why...why, yes, I would, young lady. (turns to Man 2) Uh, excuse me. It's been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I've got to go.Third conversationWoman 1: Mmmm,...this is delicious. I love stuffed grape leaves.Woman 2: Ummm. Me, too. It all tastes delicious. Do you think they made all this themselves? Or did they have it catered?Woman 1: Oh, no. George is a great cook. Why would they cater it?Woman 2: Really?Woman 1: Oh, yeah.Woman 2: George cooks?Woman 1: You didn't know that? Lynn's always saying that's half the reason she married him!Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He completely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen.Woman 1: You know, my husband's talking about signing up for an Italian cooking class on Saturdays. Oh, I hope he does it.Woman 2: Oh. I wonder if I could convince my husband to do that. I'd sure love being the taste tester for his recipes.Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I'll let you know when the class starts.Woman 2: Great! Please do. In the meantime, I think I'll go mention it to him. Talk to you soon.。
