Directions: Listen to the following information for a better understanding of the Zulu life. While listening, please fill in the blanks with the information you hear.
Descendants of the Nguni peoples of southeast Africa, the Zulu trace their history back to the 14th and 15th centuries when they _m_i_g_r_at_e_d_ southward and settled into modern-day South Africa. During the 1800s, under Chief Shaka, the Zulus _es_t_a_b_li_s_h_ed_ themselves as a very powerful people and were feared throughout southern Africa. During this time it was the men who wove Zulu baskets; however, as the British took the men to work in the mines, women found it necessary to learn to weave the traditional African Zulu Baskets. Zulu baskets served as functional utilitarian containers and were typically devoid of any designs or patterns.

Unit 11TEXT IShaka — King of the ZulusTextShaka's military career started at about the same time as Napoleon's came to an end at Waterloo. Neither man had ever heard of the other, yet they had a surprising amount in common, particularly in their genius for war and politics. Had Shaka been born in Europe he too might well have altered the course of world affairs. As it was, he built the Zulu nation. And he would have destroyed it had it not been for the courage of a minor chieftain, Gala.When he was still only twenty-nine, Shaka seized the throne of the Zulus. It took him very little time to turn the Zulu people into a first-class fighting race because he was absolutely ruthless, never moving without an escort of "slayers", whose job it was to kill anyone who displeased him in any way. If his warriors could not run 50 miles a day, they died; if they were unable to dance barefoot on a carpet of jungle thorns, they died; if they showed anything less than suicidal courage in battle, they would be unhesitatingly murdered by the slayers. Shaka was inhuman, perhaps, but he built up a formidable army in a very short time. Shaka had already increased his kingdom from 100 square miles to 100,000 when personal tragedy struck: his mother, Nandi, died. Nandi was the one person for whom Shaka felt deep affection, and on her death something seemed to snap in his mind. What followed was unbelievable, but it was recorded by an Englishman named Flynn who was in the area at the time. Nandi was buried, and 12,000 warriors were ordered to guard her grave for a year. Then Shaka sent his impis or regiments to scour the countryside and punish all those who had failed to be present at the funeral. Only after this had been done did he announce his orders for mourning: no crops were to be planted the following year; no milk was to be used — it was to be drawn from the cow and poured on to the earth and all women who were found with child during the following year were to be put to death with their husbands. As the staple diet of the Zulus consisted of grain and milk products, this order was little less than a sentence of national starvation.Shaka now developed a brooding and bitter spirit: "I have conquered the world but lost my mother," he would cry, "and all taste has gone out of my life."After two months of intensive mourning over Nandi's death, the country was in a desperate state. The fields were overgrown with weeds and oneof the staple diets, namely milk, was no longer on the food list. Total ruin now faced the Zulu nation, and it was obvious that those who had not been killed by Shaka would certainly starve to death.Finally, one of Shaka's warriors, Gala, determined to end the tyranny. "It is enough," he told his family. "Someone must tell the Great Elephant.I shall do it. " Gala's family stared at him in horror: to challenge the King's wishes at such a moment was to ask for instant death. But Gala took his warrior's stick and went to Bulawayo to see Shaka. When he reached the right distance from the royal enclosure he shouted: "O King, you have destroyed your country. What will you reign over? Will you create a new race? Shall we all die because your mother died? You have destroyed the country. Your country will be inhabited by other kings, for your people will die of hunger. As for me, O King, I say you are dead yourself through this mother of yours. Stuff a stone into your stomach. This is not the first time anyone has died in Zululand!"Stuff a stone into your stomach! This was the Zulu way of saying: "pull yourself together". There was a gasp of horror from the onlookers, and the slayers took a grip on their clubs. That a man should dare to speak to the King in such a way was unthinkable, and Gala's life seemed to be measured in seconds. But Shaka turned to his Councillors and said: "What use are you to me? You never dared, like Gala, to tell me to stuff a stone in my stomach. Now let all men know that crops are to be planted as usual and that milk may be drunk again. And as for you," said Shaka, turning to Gala, "you shall have a mighty gift of many cattle."From an article in Look and LearnTEXT IIThe Stamping of the ThornsShaka's particular genius lay in his great personal attention to detail and in his capacity for hard work. If at all possible, he always insisted on inspecting everything himself, and he invariably checked all reports by getting evidence from as many sources as possible. He was a firm believer in the saying: "It is the master's eye which makes the cow grow fat."Two months after becoming king, Shaka called all his "regiments" together. His combined fighting forces totalled only about 500 men. He told them of the virtues of the short, heavy stabbing spear or assegai which he himself had designed to replace the light throwing one used in the past by the Zulu fighters. As he expected, the younger soldiers took up the new assegai with enthusiasm, soon to be followed by the older men. Next Shaka ordered all his regiments to throw away their sandals. There was considerable protest at this, especially from the older groups, buthe pointed to his own bare feet and even ran a race to prove that he was faster than any of his men wearing sandals.A month later, Shaka noticed that there was still a lot of dissatisfaction and grumbling about his order that sandals should no longer be worn. So, he told one of his regiments to collect many basketfuls of the sharp "devil thorns". These thorns have three spikes, one of which always points upwards when they lie on the ground.When enough of these thorns had been collected, Shaka ordered them to be spread over the parade ground. All his regiments were then ordered to parade a little to the side of the ground covered with thorns. Shaka then addressed them: "It has come to my ears," he said, "that some of you have soft feet, and this has made me very sad. So I have decided to help you harden them!"Shaka then ordered his men to stamp the thorns into the ground with their bare feet. Anyone who hesitated or did not stamp hard enough was to be killed at once by his "slayers".The regiments gritted their teeth and, led by Shaka himself, spread over the parade ground. Shaka turned to face them and the stamping began. Shaka's feet, however, were horny and impervious. He felt nothing; but his eagle eye at once picked out those who were hesitant. These men were told to stand forward and were then clubbed to death by the slayers. And so he went on, searching up and down the lines, but after half a dozen examples had been made all the soldiers stamped as hard as they could. When Shaka was satisfied that the thorns had been stamped out of sight he told his men they could go. That evening they were given a great feast at which they could eat and drink as much as they liked.From Shaka Zulu by E. A. Ritter。

Someone you had great confidence in,surely.But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to mm to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice,including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who—as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are.In studiesI conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University,for example,I found mat people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they’re addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments.subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures,some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear.For each picture,subjects guessed twice:the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant.When the pictures were in focus,we found,subjects tended to discount the advice;apparently,they were confident in their ability to guess correctly.When the pictures were unclear,subjects leaned heavily on me advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion.Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received--consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall.They would have done better if they’d considered the advice equally,and to a moderate degree,on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice—related prejudice I've found people compels to overvalue advice that they pay for.In one study conducted,subjects answered different sets of questions about American history.Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were.In one version of the experiment,people could get advice for free,while in another version,they paid for it.When they paid for advice,people tended to have firm belief in it,I suspect,by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.51.In the face of a mission—critical decision,people tend to __________.[A]trust their own efforts[B]rely on research findings[C]get affected by other’s opinion[D]seek help from the more knowledgeable52.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often __________.[A]discount others’advice[B]overlook others’advice[C]disagree with others’advice[D]over-rely on others’advice53.The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions __________.[A]strengthen people’s initial opinion[B]strengthen people’s self-confidence[C]influence people’s response to advice[D]influence people’s guess of weight loss54.It can be inferred that people are likely to __________.[A]undervalue free advice[B]overvalue peer’s advice[C]misinterpret specialist’s advice[D]misjudge their instinctual belief55.The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal __________.[A]how to follow others’advice[B]how to understand others’advice[C]what causes people to seek advice[D]what affects people’s attitude to adviceText 3Top National Health Service(NHS)nurses will be able to earn $40,000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures.New“supernurse”grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum$28,000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators.Hundreds of experienced andhighly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity·While only a few thousand of Britain’s 332,000 NHS nurses will qualify for the$40,000 plus salary. Fast track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase the pay of many more.The government announced that a new simplified career structure would see just four grades replacing the existing six.Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade,followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimately consultant practitioner and a$40,000salary.“Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernization,”said a government official“These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to Patients·We do not think mat in order to be paid more,nurses should have to move into management·Nurses working at the sharpened of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalizes them for wanting to stay there.”The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and Improve opportunities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in part-time roles·The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms.The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers.56 Hundreds of experienced nurses are lost to patient care every year because they__________·[A]dislike the nursing job[B]are dissatisfied with their pay[C]are replaced by“super nurses”[D]lack further training for the profession57.The new system will mostly benefit those who__________·[A]move into management[B]work on a part time basis[C]have retired from the nursing job[D]have reached the top of the system58.The new career structure is different from the existing one in its__________.[A]quality of nurses’services[B]possibility of a job transfer[C]opportunities for promotion[D]simplicity of nurses’grades59.The Nursing Strategy will be adopted in order to__________ .[A]provide more consultation to practitioners[B]encourage experienced nurses to work part time[C]enable the most experienced nurses to be paid more[D]promote the most experienced nurses to management60.The Royal College of Nursing __________.[A]proposed similar top salary for nurses[B]raised the management issue to ministers[C]suggested a four-grade system for nurses[D]put forward the Nursing Strategy to ministersPart BDirections:Read the texts taken from five people's comments on an article on the issue of global poverty.For questions61 to 65,match the name of each person(61to 65)to one of the statements(A to G)given below Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Ankita Agarwal:Your article made me ashamed.I've always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed teenager,but I guess l was wrong.While I sit in my large,warm and cozy house.Wishing for the shoes and clothes I see in teen magazines,there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have.Janet Tejada:What about the relationship between population,consumption and resources? After all, poverty most simply defined,is not having enough resources.The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U.S.,and increasing levels of C0nsumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’salready dwindling resources to go around.Tadaship Kawabe:Extreme poverty is so tragic.Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time,while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn't attract the world’s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty,however,we shouldn’t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others·Jane Thomas:The poor should be trained to organize,set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action.What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things:outsiders determine the priorities and solutions,then throw money at them.To actually help,we must first develop our own skills and understanding.We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are.We have to listen to poor people.Sanjay Kathe:Concerned and sensible people’s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are deserving of high praise.It is sad,however,that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually l each them.The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to checkfirst—hand the use of their funds.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.61.

lesson 11Medicines May Soon Come in the Form of Food If Western people think they are healthy eaters, they will have to think again. The no cholesterol, low-fat, high-fiber, calcium-enriched,sugar-less,peservative-additive-color-free-with-added-vitamins diet is about to become a passing fashion. The new “buzz word” in the food industry is nutraceuticals-foods that provide medical benefits as well as traditional nutrients. “Imagine a supermarket where each food category is subdivided into categories for those consumers who have back problems, are at risk from cardiovascular disease, obesity, arthritis and other diseases,” says Mark Braman, president of the American food company Omega Tech. “Imagine great-tasting foods that help protect the body from major diseases and environmental damage.” That vision is starting to become a reality. Last year in Britain, the chemical company Roche launched Startup, a fruit juice that contains twice as many vitamins as milk. Multinational food giant Nestle is marketing a yogurt fortified with ingredients that rid the body of bacteria. In the new millennium, natural foods won't be able to compete with bio-engineered and processed foods. The lycopene discovery is a case in point. Processed tomato products containing oil that facilitates the absorption of lycopene are better than eating the real thing, raw tomatoes. The conventional wisdom, however, is that, if you have a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, you'll get all the vitamins and minerals and nutrients you need for a healthy body. Supplements, nutritionists often claim, are a waste of money. According to Dr Sheldon Saul Hendler, nutritional adviser to the US Olympic Committee, vitamin and mineral deficiencies occur in healthy individuals eating generally adequate diets. In The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia, he writes: “There is growing evidence that substances in our 'well-balanced' diets contribute to cancer and other degenerative diseases. A vitamin and mineral supplement is recommended for even healthy individuals as a key element in the prevention of many of these degenerative diseases.” The trick is to know which vitamins and minerals you need to supplement. Some of that guesswork may be eliminated by the introduction of more vitamin and mineral-enriched foods. In Australia, scientists want to lace beer with thiamine (vitamin B1) to reduce the instance of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a potentially fatal brain disorder found in heavy drinkers. Vitamin and mineral-enriched foods, however, may also create problems through over-dosing and interaction. The optimal dose for many vitamins and minerals is unknown and some can be toxic in high doses. If you find yourself unaccountably laughing, for instance, you could be overdosing on manganese. Manganese madness is a recognized disorder that can produce manic states followed by deep depression. As nutraceuticals or functional foods start to fill the supermarket shelves, it will become harder to work out exactly what dosage of vitamins and minerals we are ingesting or what effect it is having on us. The line between food and medicine will become increasingly blurred, and the health claims more imaginative. Most food companies are reluctant to have their product categorized as a medicine, because of the requirement for expensive research and lengthy clinical trials. In the US and Europe, nutraceuticals exist in a regulatory twilight zone. Problems aside, though, the mew revolution in food could produce some useful lifestyle products.。

Exactly.
And is it possible to have my overcoat dry-cleaned, too?
There are some stains on it.
B:
I'm afraid you will not have it tomorrow.
Dry-cleaning usually takes two whole days.
A:
Oh, no.
I have to wear it tomorrow, too.
B:
If that's the case, suppose I ask the dry-cleaner to clean up the spots for the moment and have the coat well pressed so that you might get it back in time then.
Differences between people do exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so.
The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs.

And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages.
With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned.
