英语高级视听说Unit1PiratesoftheInternet
英语高级视听说Unit1PiratesoftheInternetIt s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now the hign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America s movie studios know that if they don t do something----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: ?”Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.”Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know ?”Chernin: .”Correspondent: “And it s only going to grow.”Chernin: “It s only going to grow. Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet. A perfect digital copy, all right. And with the click of mouse, send out a million copies all over the world, in an instant.”And it s all free. If that takes hold, kiss Hollywood goodbye. Chernin recently organized a “summit”between studio moguls and some high school and college kids---the people most likely to be downloading.Chernin: “And we said, Let s come up with a challenge. Let s give them five movies, and see if they can find them online. And we all sat around and picked five movies, four of which hadn t been released yet. And then we came back half an hour later. They had found all five movies that we gave them. ”Correspondent: “Even the ones that hadn t even been released yet?”Chernin: “Even the ones that hadn t even beenreleased yet.”Correspondent: “Did these kids have any sense that they were stealing?”Chernin: “You know it s…it s a weird dichotomy. I think they know it s stealing, and I don t think they think it s wrong. I think they have an attitude of, It s here. ”The Internet copy of last year s hit Signs, starring Mel Gibson, was stolen even before director M. Night Shyamalan could organize the premiere. Correspondent: “The movie was about to be released. When did the first bootleg copy appear?”6Shyamalan: “Two weeks before it or three weeks b efore it. Before the Internet age, when somebody bootlegged a movie, the only outlet they had was to see it to those vendors on Times Square, where they had the boxes set up outside and they say, Hey, we have Signs---it s not even out yet. And you walk by and you know it s illegal. But now, because it s the digital age, you can see, like, a clean copy. It s no longer the kind of thesleazy guy in Times Square with the box. It s just, oh, it s on this beautiful site, and I have to go, Click. ”Correspondent: “How did those movies get on the Internet? How did that happen?”Chernin: “Through an absolute act of theft. the or circulated among companies that do special effects, or subtitles. Chernin: “The other way that pre-released movies end up (stolen) is that people go to …there are lots of screenings that happen in this industry…on…”Correspondent: “And record it.”This is one of those recorded-off-the-screen copies of Disney s Pirates of the Caribbean. Not great quality, but not awful either. And while it used to take forever to download a movie, anyone with a high-speed Internet connection can now have a full-length film in an hour or two.Saaf: “Well, this is just one of many websites where basically people, hackers if you will, announce their piracy releases.”R andy Saaf runs a company called Media Defender that helps movie studios combat online piracy. Correspondent: “Look at this, all these new movies that I haven t even seen yet, all here.”Saaf: “Yep.”Correspondent: “Secondhand Lions that just came out. Sometimes I feel like I m the only person in this country who has never downloaded anything. But maybe there is a few others of us out there. So I m going to ask you to show us Kazaa, that s the biggest downloading site, right?”Saaf: “Right. This is the Kazaa me dia desktop. Kazaa is the largest peer-to-peer network.”It s called peer-to-peer because computer users are sharing files with each other, with no middleman. All Kazaa does is provide the software to make that sharing possible. When we went online with Randy Saaf, nearly four million other Kazaa users were there with us, sharing every kind of digital file. Saaf: “Audio, documents, images, software, and video. If you wanted a movie, you would click on the video section, and then you would type in a search phrase. And basically what this is doing now, it is asking the people on the peer-to-peer network, Who has Finding Memo ?”Within seconds, 191 computers sent an answer: “We have it.”This is Finding Memo, crisp picture and sound, downloaded free from Kazaa a month before its release for video rental or sale. If you don t want to watch it on a little computerscreen, you don t have to. On the newest computers, you can just “burn”it onto a DVD and watch it on your big-screen TV. And that s a dagger pointed right at the heart of Hollywood. Chernin: “Where movies make the bulk of their money is on DVD and home videos. 50 percent of the revenues for any moviecome out of home video…”Correspondent: “15 percent?”Chernin: “50 percent so that if piracy occurs and it wipes out your home video profits or ultimately your television profits, you are out of business. No movies will get made.”Even if movies did get made, Night Shyamalan says that wouldn t be any good, because profits would be negligible, so budgets would shrink dramatically. Shyamalan: “And slowly it will degrade what s possible in that art form.”Rosso: “Always. You can t shut it down.”Wayne Rosso is Hollywood s enemy. They call him a pirate, but officially he s the president of Grokster, another peer-to-peer ne twork that works just like Kazaa. Correspondent: “Ok, I have e.”Rosso: “Right.”Correspondent: “Ok, did I pay to do that?”Rosso: “No, it s free.”Correspondent: “So who pays you? How do you make money?”“And how many people use Grokster?”Rosso: “Ten million.”Correspondent: “Ten million people have used it.”Rosso: “A month.”Correspondent 9Correspondent: “what else?”Rosso: “I will assume. See, we have no way of knowing what people are downloading.”Correspondent: “That sRosso: “We have no idea what the content is, and whatever it is…”Correspondent: “Well, you may not know the specifics, but you know that s what your site…”Rosso: “And we can t stop it. Correspondent: “But you are there for that purpose, that is why you exist, of course it is.”Rosso: “No, no, no, no, no, no.”Correspondent: “Come on, this is the fig leaf part.”Rosso: “No, no, no, no, no.”Shyamalan:“He is totally conformable with putting on his site a stolen piece of material. Am I wrong in that? If my movie was his site?”Correspondent: “Because I have nothing to do with it.”Shyamalan:“Yeah, right.”Correspondent: “Because I just provided the software.”Shyamalan:“Yeah, right. So,immediately, how can you ever have a conversation with him? Because he s taken a stolen material and he is totally fine with passing it around in his house. All these, all these are illegal activities. So, I m not, it s just my house, I m not doing anything wrong.”But it is Rosso who has the law on his side. A federal judge has ruled that Grokster and other file-swapping networks are Rosso: “So we are completely legal, and unfortunately this is something the entertainment industry refuses to accept. They seem to think the judge s decision was nothingThe studios are appealing that court ruling. And they like the carpenters and painters who work on film sets. At the same time, Hollywood is trying to Chernin: “You will very seldom go to an early screening of a movie right now where, probably you don t notice until you pay attention, someone s not in the front of that auditorium with i nfrared binoculars looking for somebody with a camcorder.”Saaf: “What we re just trying to do is make the actual pirated content difficult to find. And the way we do that is by, you know, serving up fake files.”It s called “spoofing.”but aren t. Correspon dent: “So if I had clicked on any number of those Finding Nemo offerings, I could have clicked on one of yours, or somebody like you. And what would I have found after my hour and a half of downloading?”Saaf: “it might just be a blank screen or something. You know, typically speaking, what we push out is just not the real content.”Correspondent: “What you are trying to do is make this so impossible, so infuriating that people will just throw up their hands and say it s just easier for me to go rent this thi ng, buy the DVD or whatever, it s just easier.”Saaf: “Right.”Correspondent: “That s your goal.”Saaf::“Right.”Correspondent: “Does that work? Is that a good idea?”Rosso: “No. It doesn t work. I mean I don t blame thembut it doesn t work because what happens is that the community cleanses itself of the spoofs.”He means that downloaders quickly spread the word online about how to tell the fake movie files from the real thing. Correspondent: “It s like an arms race(军备竞赛), isn t it?”Chernin: “That s exactly wh at it s like. It s like an arms race. There will be, you know, they re gonna get a step ahead. We re gonna try and get that step back.”Rosso: “But I ll tell you one thing: I ll bet on the hackers.”Correspondent: “That they will break whatever…”Rosso: “The studios come up with.”Correspondent: “The companies throw at them.”and that isn t going away. Chernin: “The generally accepted estimate is that Correspondent: “60 million.”Chernin: “At 60 million Americans, that s a mainstream product. That s not a bunch of college kids or, you know, a bunch of computer geeks. That s America.”So, instead of trying to stop it entirelybest way is to negotiate some kinds of licensing deal with him. Rosso: “If the movie industry acts now and starts exploring alternatives and solutions with guys like me, hopefully they won t have a problem.”Correspondent: “What if they try to buy you?”Rosso: “I d sell it in al heartbeat.”Correspondent: “You would sell, Grokster would sell to a movie studio?”Rosso:“Sure, call me.”The idea of ma king deals with appeal to Hollywood. Instead, Fox and other studios have just launched their own uld love the idea that you don t have to go to the video store. You can do this. And that s what we re working the most effective business model in the world can t compete with free.”Not that Peter Chernin is interested, but he won t have the chance to buy Grokster, at least not from Wayne Rosso. A few days ago, Rosso announced that he is leaving Grokster to take over as president of another file-swapping software company,this one based in Spain. Grokster will continue under new management.Key to the exercises Task I Global Listening1. C2. C.3. D .4. D5. A6. B.7. B8. CTask IIEpisode 1 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5.

What is parents’ hard choice and what are the possible consequences of each option?The choice is between funding their retirement or sending their kid to college. And both can have enormous implications on their futures. If parents aren't funding their retirement they have problems down the road. If the kids have to take out loans for their college education, then they're left with a huge debt at the end.3.What do schools imply when they call themselves “need-blind”? They will take any applicant regardless of his or her ability to pay.4. What do the packages offered by schools consist of? What are the differences between categories of money awarded?Package usually consists of grants and funds, work-study, a mosaic of different moneys.Grant: In a grant a student is not paying it back; it's basically like a scholarship. Work-study program: It is essentially where the student will have to work while he's studying and some of that money that he earns helps pay for his books or other living expenses that he'll have.Loans: Students borrow that money and then at the end of school they pay that money back.5. What is wrong with the myth about federal loans among students and their parents? What are the loans that the students and parents can apply for?There’s a myth that if you don't apply for those loans at the start of the year the supply runs out. But the federal government is always there to offer loans to families that need them.Students can borrow what are called Stafford loans and parents can borrow what is called a Plus loan to cover the rest of that expense for them.6. Why is college education regarded as a good investment?Studies show that over a lifetime, a college graduate earns one million dollars more than just a high school graduate.Internet accessInformation on aid, scholarships, and loansHealthy debt-management habitsThe steps are:Step 1: Apply for federal aidStep 2: Search for scholarshipsStep 3: Apply for a federal loanStep 4: Seek private lendingStep 5: Understand the debt you're taking onStep 6: Pay it off early1)A student loan should be the first option when a student thinks about getting money for his/her college education. F2)How much financial assistance a student can get is determined by his/her Estimated Family Contribution. T3)If a student is athletically competitive,he/she is likely to succeed in getting a scholarship. T4)If a student wants to save money by fixed interest rates,a need-based loan is an ideal choice. T5)Responsible repayments habits can help a student to apply for a private loan and reduce interest rates. T6)A student borrower can lower interest rates through better debt management habits. T1)get into an Ivy League college2)major in business when you get there3)facts4)Ivys5)lifetime earnings6)have a lock on7)earning power8)chemical engineering9)measured1) Why do many people say no when asked whether the large amount of money put in college education can pay off in higher lifetime earnings?They cite a famous study which looked at students who had been accepted to colleges with high SAT scores but ended up going to schools with lower scores. It found that 20 years later those students were making just as much money as peers who did go to the more selective colleges.2)Why is the result of the 1998 study so unconvincing in breaking the myth that selective colleges are worth the cost?Because if you define selective by something other than SAT scores thegraduates of the more selective schools did seem to have an advantage in lifetime earnings.3)What does the speaker imply at the end by saying that it is not crazy to pay for the elite colleges?Elite colleges are worth the cost.。

The learning environment
The ‘lesson’ is the usual teaching mode. Time spent in class takes up most of students’ learning
time.
Lectures, tutorials , seminars and lab sessions are features of university teaching. These are conducted face-to-face and, increasingly, online.
Students may use the Internet and newspapers for research.
University lecturers usually give out long reading lists. They may point out what is essential to read from the list and what is desirable to read but not crucial.
We rely on you to do the work. 我们依靠你们去做这件事。 You can rely on my watch keeping time. 你可以放心,我的表走得很准。
