Part 1 Lead-inTeaching tipsHelp the students understand that body language is the type of communication in which a person uses the body, including facial expressions, to react to situations. It will be of great benefit to develop one's ability to read and understand signals and signs of body language as this will help in easily understanding the nature of other human beings and also improve communication with them.ACTIVITY 1 LISTENINGBody LanguageTapescript:Some of us think that what we say (verbal communication) is more important than how we say that. Researches show that we could not be more wrong. Do you know what the numbers 55% - 38% - 7% mean? 55% body, 38% tone and 7% words. How 1 incredible! Non-verbal communication is more important than verbal. We can be saying wise and clever things but if they are not 2 coherent with our body language, no one will believe us. When we are talking to other people we want to be sure that they are listening and understand us, otherwise we are wasting our precious time. We can see whether a person is listening to us by 3 observing their body movements. Let's make an experiment. When speaking to people, observe if:(1). they 4 maintain eye contact(2). their hands are 5 inclined forward(3). they are nodding their heads(4). their feet are pointing towards the speaker(5). they often smile.Check the answers:1. incredible2.coherent3. observing4. maintain5. inclinedTeaching tipsAllow the students to listen to the passage once to get the general idea of the passage. Then let the students listen to the tape again to pay attention to some details.ACTIVITY 2 VIEWINGDirections: Watch the video on How to Talk to Your Cat twice, and decide whether each of the following statements is true or false. If it is false,correct it.Video Transcript：How to Talk to Your CatSure, you talk to your cat now, but does he know what the heck you’re saying? And do you understand his purrs and meow s? If not, it’s time to have a good chat with your furry friend.You will need:o A willingness to look sillyo Attention to pay to his soundso A working knowledge of cat body languageStep 1: Mimic his soundsCreate greater intimacy with your cat by mimicking his meows. Just knowing that you’re attempting to speak his language will make him feel closer to you.Step 2: Use his nameIncrease your chances of your cat listening to you by using his name when you’re issuing a command.Men should use a higher-pitched voice when speaking to their cats, because cats respond better to sopranos.Step 3: Watch your toneLike humans, cats seek clues about a person’s mood by listening to his voice. So when you talk to your cat, be sure that your tone matches the message you want to convey.If you want your cat to know you’re upset that he just peed on the rug, do what his mom would do: Gently pick him up by the scruff of his neck and growl.Step 4: Learn his languageCats have about 100 words in their vocabulary in the form of meows, growls, purrs and hisses. Pay close attention and you’ll begin to learn the sounds he makes when he’s hungry, angry, fearful and so on.Step 5: Read his tailLearn how to read your cat’s tail. If only the tip is moving, he’s irritated. If the ta il is swinging from side to side, he’s PO’d. If he’s carrying his tail tall and proud, he’s happy.Step 6: Interpret speed and volumeFigure out kitty’s mood by paying attention to the speed and volume of his mewling. Fast, loud sounds indicate anxiety, while slow, quieter sounds convey confidence. Did you know, in ancient Egypt, cats were so revered that when one died, the owner placed embalmed mice in the cat’s coffin so he’d have food in the afterlife.Note:PO’d：very angry (slang; not polite)Check the answers:Statements True / False Correct Answers 1.

Fast, loud sounds indicate anxiety,while slow, quieter sounds indicate intimacy. FalseFast, loud sounds indicateanxiety, while slow, quietersounds convey confidence.ACTIVITY 3 SPEAKINGDirections: Work in pairs, discuss the following questions. Then share your opinions with the whole class.How Do We Communicate?⏹Ask the students to work in pairs, and then ask one or two groups to present theirown discussions.⏹Some ideas for reference:Animals communicate with each other and other species in the same ways we do, through vocalization and body language cues.We can communicate by words, by gestures, symbolic expressions and various other methods of communication. For example the way you walk, your posture, and the clothes you wear can communicate about you to others. Similarly, it is said that a mere cheerful look makes a dish a feast.A person will assume different roles to fit different situations, such as a) when talking to a business associate, b) when talking to an intimate friend, c) when talking to a subordinate, d) when talking to a spouse and e) when talking to a pet dog.Teaching tipsACTIVITY 1 ORAL FUNCTIONSDirections: Read the following sentences. Pay attention to the way of clarification.Help the students know more about clarification:While clarifying doesn’t actually sort out the problem, it does help to ensure that both parties have the same understanding about what the problem is. It also gives each the opportunity to agree or amend their understanding, and in this way enables them to move forward towards a resolution.The difficulty is that when we hear something negative it is human nature to take it as criticism. This immediately puts us on the defensive and/or we start fighting back before really having a full understanding of the issue being presented to us.ACTIVITY 2 ORAL PRACTICETask1ListeningDirections: Listen to the conversation and fill in the blanks.Tapescript:On HouseworkA: I know I don’t help much with the children, but I’m at work all day. It’s such a rush in the mornings and by evening time I’m tired and there’s usually only about an hour before they go to bed. What you forget is that although my wo rk isn’t physical, it is very stressful! I usually spend part of the weekend doing jobs around the house or gardening and shopping with you, and I also play with the children as much as I can.B: So you don’t think my job looking after the children and the home is as difficult as yours and I shouldn’t complain?A: No –I’m not saying that, I think it is a difficult job which you do extremely well. What I’m trying to tell you is why I feel I can’t do much more.B: But do you think I’m being unfair to say you don’t spend enough time with the children?Check the answers:I know; you don’t think; I’m not saying that; What I’m trying to tell you;do you think;Task 2 ViewingDirections: Watch the video clip of Titanic twice. Pay attention to the following two examples of clarification and fill in the blanks.Video Transcript：JACK: Don’t do it!ROSE: Stay back! Don’t come any closer!JACK: Come on! Just give me your hand and I’ll pull you back over.ROSE: No, stay where you are! I mean it! I’ll let go!JACK: No you won’t!ROSE: What do you mean, no, I won’t?

You let go, and I’m gonna have to jump in there after you.ROSE: Don’t be absurd. You’d be killed.JACK: I’m a good swimmer.ROSE: The fall alone would kill you.JACK: It would hurt, I’m not saying it wouldn’t.

Ice-fishing is, you know, when you…ROSE: I know what ice-fishing is!Check the answers:Example 1:ROSE: No, stay where you are! I mean it! I’ll let go!JACK: No you won’t!ROSE: What do you mean, no, I won’t? Don’t presume to tell me what I will and will not do.

I remember when I was a kid, me and my father, we went ice-fishing out in Lake Wisota. Ice-fishing is, you know, when you…ROSE: I know what ice-fishing is!Task 3 SpeakingDirections: Work with a partner and then come up with two dialogues that include clarification.Try to use as many as possible of the usefulexpressions and ideas that you learned in this unit.Teaching tipsSample:A: I’m so fed up with the arguments. There’s such an atmosphere - when you walk into the office you can cut it with a knife! I’ve started dreading going to work and on some mornings when I’m getting ready, I actually start feeling sick. She doesn’t seem to be affected by it at all, but I just don’t enjoy my job any more.B: So you’re finding it difficult to go to work because of this woman’s behavior, and it sounds like you’re thinking about leaving?A: No –that’s just it! I used to love my job, and I still love the work. It’s just her that I’m finding difficult. What I want is for her to behave differently.In this instance, while Person A seemed to be saying that she wanted to leave her job, in fact what she was saying that she wanted the situation in the office to change, so that she could once again enjoy her work.Notes:you could cut the atmosphere with a knife: something that you say to describe a situation in which everyone is feeling very angry or nervous and you feel that something unpleasant could soon happen.Part 3 In-putting & Out-puttingACTIVITY 1 LISTENING TO LEARNIn this section, you will hear a passage about baby sign language. Before you listen, think about the following questions:⏹What is baby sign language?⏹Does baby signing help or hinder?Background information:Baby sign language is a method in which you and your infant (or toddler) uses specific handshapes and motions to convey words and meaning (quickly and easily) with each other.Tapescript:Baby Sign LanguagePrior to mastering the art of speech, your baby has great difficulty in communicating his needs to you. This can cause frustration for you both -- yet there is a solution. Baby sign language is rapidly becoming popular as a means of recognizing -- and responding to -- a young baby's needs.Babies can be taught sign language from any age, but they really begin to take notice of the signs from around six months and may begin using them from as early as seven to eight months of age. As many parents will testify, babies understand an awful lot more than they are able to communicate through speech at this stage.Some parents fear that using baby sign language may hamper their child's speech development later on. Research into this subject, however, shows that children taught baby sign in infancy go on to develop superb language skills. In some cases, they may learn to speak earlier and often have an increased ability to learn a second language.There are other benefits to introducing baby sign language - studies indicate that children who sign often develop a higher than average IQ. The major advantage for parents, of course, is to be able to identify their babies' needs and respond appropriately -- easing the frustrations that can lead to tantrums. Once this channel of communication is open, many parents feel that a deeper bond with their child is formed, creating a great sense of harmony.Task 1 Listening for InformationDirections: Listen to the passage once and decide whether each of the following statements is true or false. If it is false, correct it.Statements True/ False Correct Answers1. Baby sign language is becomingpopular as a means of recognizing-- and responding to -- a youngbaby's needs.True2.

Listen carefully again and fill in the blanks.1. Prior to mastering the art of speech, your baby has great difficulty in communicatinghis needs to you.2. As many parents will testify, babies understand an awful lot more than they are ableto communicate through speech at this stage.3. In some cases, they may learn to speak earlier and often have an increased ability to learn a second language.4. Once this channel of communication is open, many parents feel that a deeper bond with their child is formed, creating a great sense of harmony.Task 3 Oral PracticeDirections: Take a survey. Ask your classmates about their opinions on the importance of body language. Then explain the results of yoursurvey to the class.Teaching tips■Allow students time to share their ideas.■Circulate and help students with vocabulary as needed.More for teachersBenefits of using baby sign languagePromotes the development of language skillsReinforces language skills already developedReduces frustration at not being able to express needsIt is true that eyes are the mirror of the soulThe facts about negative emotions, confusion, not understanding, lying, distracted, non-interest and anger is very well expressed with eyes. If you look away in an airy fairy manner, it clearly suggests you are not comprehending the topic of group discussion.It takes ten seconds to make a first impression and a lifetime to undo itAccording to some studies, 93% of communication is non-verbal. Out of this 55% is through body language and 38% is tone of voice and balance 7% of total communication is verbal. ACTIVITY 2VIEWING TO LEARNIn this section, you will watch and hear Alison Doyle, a Job Searching Guide, talking about the importance of body language during a job interview.Video Transcript：Hi, I'm Alison Doyle for . What you don't say during an interview is as important as what you do say. How you dress, your body language, and your communication skills will all be evaluated by the interviewer. Today I'm going to show you the best ways to use them to your advantage.Job Interview Communication College Journal reports that, according to some studies, body language comprises 55% of the force of any response, whereas the verbal content only provides 7%, and paralanguage, or the intonation -- pauses and sighs given when answering -- represents 38% of the emphasis. To maximize the perceptions you communicate, you want to use these non-verbal impressions to your advantage.Job Interview AttireFirst, consider your interview attire. Surveys show that dressing unprofessionally or untidily is the leading reason that candidates are excluded from consideration. This candidate already has more strikes against her than she can afford: inappropriate clothing, chewing gum, drinking coffee, and overall unprofessionalism. Dressing appropriately in a clean and professional interview outfit can increase your chances of getting a job offer.Nonverbal Communication in InterviewsNonverbal communication is as important, or even more important, than verbal communication. The evaluation of your nonverbal communication will start as soon as you walk into the company's lobby and continue until the interview is finished.Turn off your cell phone before you enter the building. Talking on the phone during an interview is not only disruptive, it's rude.Prepare for the InterviewPrepare answers to typical interview questions in advance, so you're comfortable responding.Job Interview Body LanguageIt's important to make eye contact with your interviewer and to focus on the question. Stay relaxed, but do not laugh or crack jokes at inappropriate times. You should show personality, but don't overdo it because you're nervous or over-eager.Relax and lean forward a little towards the interviewer so you appear interested and engaged. Don't lean back or slump in your chair. You will look too casual and relaxed. Keep your feet on the floor and your back against the lower back of the chair. Pay attention, be attentive, and look interested. Focus on the interviewer, and don’t get distracted.A polished and professional image is what is going to get you to the next stage of the hiring process, a second interview or even a job offer.

Part 4 Follow-up ActivitiesACTIVITY 1 LISTENING TO LEARNTask 1 Listening for InformationDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen carefully for its general idea.When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanksnumbered 1 to 8 with the exact words you have just heard. Forblanks numbered 9 to 11, fill in the missing information, using theexact words you have just heard or your own words. Finally, whenthe passage is read for the third time, check what you have written. Tapescript:On LanguageWhen each of you in this room were born, there were 6,000 languages spoken on the (1)planet. Now, a language is not just a body of (2)vocabulary or a set of grammatical rules. A language is a (3)flash of the human spirit. Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed, a thought, an ecosystem of spiritual (4)possibilities.And of those 6,000 languages, as we sit here today in Monterey, fully half are no longer being (5)whispered into the ears of children. They're no longer being taught to babies, which means, (6)effectively, unless something changes, they're already dead. What could be more lonely than to be enveloped in (7)silence, to be the last of your people to speak your language, to have no way to pass on the (8)wisdom of the ancestors or anticipate the promise of the children? And yet, (9)that dreadful fate is indeed the plight of somebody somewhere on Earth roughly every two weeks, because every two weeks, some elder dies and carries with him into the grave the last syllables of an ancient tongue.And I know there's some of you who say, "Well, wouldn't it be better? (10) Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all just spoke one language?" And I say, "Great, let's make that language Yoruba. Let's make it Cantonese. Let's make it Kogi." And you'll suddenly discover (11)what it would be like to be unable to speak your own language.Task 2 Oral PracticeDirections: Look carefully at the following cartoons and topics, then pick one of them. Present a three-minute speech on it before your class. Try touse as many as possible of the useful expressions and ideas thatyou learned in this unit.Teaching Tips●Put the students into groups and ask them to prepare for this part before class.●Encourage students to use the Internet and other resources.●Evaluation is necessary after the students’ presentations.ACTIVITY 2 VIEWING TO LEARNTask 1 Viewing for InformationDirections: Watch the video On the World's English Mania. Then answer the three questions below.Background information:Jay Walker explains why two billion people around the world are trying to learn English. He shares photos and spine-tingling audio of Chinese students rehearsing English -- "the world's second language" -- by the thousands.Video Transcript：On the World's English ManiaLet's talk about manias. Let's start with Beatle mania. Hysterical teenagers, crying, screaming, pandemonium. Sports mania. Deafening crowds. All for one idea: Get the ball in the net. Okay, religious mania. There's rapture. There's weeping. There's visions. Manias can be good. Manias can be alarming. Or manias can be deadly. The world has a new mania. A mania for learning English. Listen as Chinese students practice their English by screaming it.Teacher: ... change my life!Students: I will change my life.T: I don't want to let my parents down.S: I don't want to let my parents down.T: I don't ever want to let my country down.S: I don't ever want to let my country down.T: Most importantly ...S: Most importantly ...T: I don't want to let myself down.S: I don't want to let myself down.Jay Walker: How many people are trying to learn English worldwide? Two billion of them.Students: A T-shirt. A dress.JW: In Latin America, in India, in Southeast Asia, and most of all in China. If you are a Chinese student you start learning English in the third grade, by law. That's why this year China will become the world's largest English speaking country. (Laughter) Why English? In a single word: Opportunity. Opportunity for a better life, a job, to be able to pay for school, or put better food on the table. Imagine a student taking a giant test for three full days. Her score on this one test literally determines her future. She studies 12 hours a day for three years to prepare. 25 percent of her grade is based on English. It's called the Gaokao. And 80 million high school Chinese students have already taken this grueling test. The intensity to learn English is almost unimaginable. Unless you witness it.T: Perfect! S: Perfect!T: Perfect! S: Perfect!T: I want to speak perfect English.S: I want to speak perfect English.T: I want to speak -- S: I want to speak --T: perfect English. S: perfect English.T: I want to change my life!S: I want to change my life!JW: So is English mania good or bad? Is English a tsunami, washing away other languages? Not likely. English is the world's second language. Your native language is your life. But with English you can become part of a wider conversation. A global conversation about global problems. Like climate change or poverty. Or hunger or disease. The world has other universal languages. Mathematics is the language of science. Music is the language of emotions. And now English is becoming the language of problem solving. Not because America is pushing it. But because the world is pulling it. So English mania is a turning point. Like the harnessing of electricity in our cities, or the fall of the Berlin Wall, English represents hope for a better future. A future where the world has a common language to solve its common problems. Thank you very much. (Applause)Task 2 Oral Practice1. Directions: Read the following dialogue and discuss with your partner aboutLanguage Learning according to the key points listed in the box.Dashan’s Feelings about Language LearningZhao Wei: You have been in China for so many years, what’s yo ur feeling about living in China? Do you enjoy it?Dashan: Well, actually, I lived in China full time for 7 years, from 1988 to 1995. But now since 1995, I live half in Canada and half in China. I really enjoy that, because I enjoy my work in China and my friends and everything here. But I also enjoy Canada. So I find the best thing for me is to go back and forth, because that way I can continue with my career here and have my normal life in Canada where nobody recognizes me. For me, both of those together are really the best combination.Zhao: I think Chinese people are more familiar with you speaking Chinese, but our magazine needs you to speak English. So it’s lucky for us to hear your English this time. I just wonder which language do you speak more in your daily life, Chinese or English?Dashan:It’s hard to say, because sometimes it depends on what you are doing, whom you are talking with and what subject you are talking about. But I find talking about something very Chinese is difficult to do in English. And also from the opposite way, sometimes trying to explain something about western culture in Chinese is difficult too.Zhao: You are considered a successful foreign language learner, could you share with us your experience in learning foreign languages?Dashan: I studied Chinese for 4 years in my university in Canada. I think one of the things my teacher did very well was to get away from traditional textbooks as soon as possible. We used the standard textbooks for the first 2 years, because you have to learn the pinyin, you have to learn the basic characters and basic grammar. For those things, textbooks are the best, because they are very scientific. Everything is nicely arranged for you to learn in order. But language itself is not like that. In many ways, it’s not really a very scientific thing. I think many people in China who study English have a mistake. They try to use very scientific methods to study something that itself is very unscientific.Key Points in Discussionfeelings about living in Chinadepend onexperiences in learning foreign languages。

With the first anniversary of the 2008 Beijing Olympics (August, 8th), just around the corner, people are assessing the legacy the Olympic Games has left the city, both materially and spiritually. There can be little doubt that the Games have brought substantial benefits. Our national sports culture has continued to develop and flourish. Local people are delighted that the Beijing municipal government has decided to open Olympic venues to the public, providing alternative gymnasiums as well as a chance to see the venues up close. Currently, six Olympic venues have been opened to the public. In choosing which venues to visit, people tend to select the ones nearest their homes. During the Olympics a hundred thousand volunteers impressed the world with their charming smiles and quality service. Many of them have chosen to continue serving the city as volunteers after the Olympics. They consider it to be a way of spreading the volunteer spirit far and wide and of developing a sense of civic responsibility. The Olympics have brought about significant changes in people‟s ways of life. Greater interest in sport, greater awareness of environmental protection and a greater willingness to volunteer are all valuable outcomes of the Games. Although the Olympics are now history, our lives have become richer as a result of them.

LISTENING TASK 2There has been a lot of research in recent years into what makes a good language learner. Here is a brief summary of the latest theories:Good language learners think about how they are learning. Theytry to find out what works for them and what doesn't. If; they don't understand the purpose of a particular exercise, they ask their teacher for a clear explanation.Good language learners are willing to experiment and take risks. For example, they will out different ways of learning vocabulary until they find the way that suits them best. They are also not afraid of making mistakes because they know that these will help them.Good language learners are realistic. They know that it will take time and effort to become proficient in English, and that there will be periods when they don't seem to be making much progress.Good language learners are independent. They do not expect to learn English just by sitting in the classroom, and do not rely on the teachers to direct their learning.Good language learners are organized and proactive. They use their time to learn English sensibly, and are always looking for opportunities to develop their language both inside and outside the classroom.Some students are extroverts in communicating their thoughts and do not care about making many mistakes in doing so. Good language learners, on the other hand, are concerned with bothfluency in communication and accuracy of language usage PART BLearning English in America ...... an Interview Interviewer:Hello, Miss Hsiao! From your CV we know that your Chinese name is Wenchin Hsiao, and that you have an interesting English nickname, "Stella". Why did you pick "Stella" as your nickname?Wenchin Itsiao: I wanted to find a unique name, and "Stella" sounds different. I picked it from a dictionary. "Stella" means star.Interviewer: Why did you choose to study journalism in the US? Wenchin Itsiao: I have at least two reasons. One is, the States is an English speaking country. I've studied English for about 10 years, so there will be no great language barrier to communication if I choose to study in America. The second reason is, journalism in the States is more advanced and influential than in any other countries. And there're quite a few world famous universities which offer best courses in journalism. Also, I have a lot of friends and relatives here, so I can be taken care of by them.Wenchin Itsiao: Yes, I started in junior high school . I also learned Japanese when I was at university. Japan occupiedTaiwan of China for 15 years, so a lot of people in Taiwan could speak Japanese. And also, for a Chinese, learning Japanese is easier because Japanese has borrowed a lot of words and characters from Chinese. Learning Japanese is easier than learning English. But English is international language, so most of us learn it when we are young.Interviewer:Do you find it more difficult to speak English or to write it?Wenchin Hsiao: Oh, I have difficulty in writing and speaking, but not in reading and listening. It seems in Taiwan we have more of an opportunity for reading and listening. But I have to improve my English writing and speaking skills in America. Interviewer Has there ever been an occasion when someone ridiculed your English?Wenchin Hsiao: No, but I'm a sensitive person. If I say something and they can't understand me, they'll say, "I'm sorry I can't understand you." If they say that, then I feel frustrated or embarrassed. I have been learning English for 10 years and still can't express myself very clearly.PART CThe Story of Norfolk-Pitcairn Language---- a Radio Talk Bruce Hill: Hello and welcome to Pacific Focus on Today'sSociety. I'm Bruce Hill. Norfolk Island in the Tasman Sea is home to one of the most unique cultures in the Pacific. And one of the things the islanders are most proud of is their unique language. But as with many languages in the region, the Norfolk-Pitcairn dialect is under threat of being diluted or being superseded entirely by mainstream English. So for the first time it's going to be taught in the schools on Norfolk Island. Ellis Buffet has written a grammar book and dictionary of the Norfolk-Pitcairn language to help school children learn the language. She says one of the concerns that the islanders have is that inter-marriage with outsiders might dilute the languageEllis Buffet: A lot of children and young people who are of Norfolk Island blood or Pitcairn descent, who can't speak the Norfolk Island language, have come to me in recent years and asked me where their culture is and where their language is. By 1987, I foresaw that it would happen that the people would be wanting to know how to speak their language. So I have given the language a writing system because English is too hard. You can't use the English might speak a fair bit of English mingled with the language (which is not pronounced the same as English), it was necessary to have a spelling system that could write thelanguage as we pronounce it.Bruce Hill: Is what you're doing here ... teaching it in schools and having written these books … are these going to be enough to save the language?Ellis Buffet: No, they're going to have to use it themselves; you know, practise. People used to go up to the school and tell children Norfolk Island words and do a little bit of conversational Norfolk Island language. But my vision is that people, whose mother tongue is the Norfolk Island language, will also write in it too, and express themselves using their own language as fully as they can in the language that they have learned as their native dialect.Bruce Hill: The Norfolk-Pitcairn language isn't of interest just to the islanders though. Professor Peter Muhlhausler of the Linguistics Department of Adelaide University says it's a fascinating blend of 18th century English and Tahitian , along with other elements. So Ms. Buffet, thank you for coming. And good luck to you!。

Lots of people do. In fact, many stores use certain techniques so we buy more. Here’s how: One. Bright colors: Red, green, yellow—on a wall or a sign—make you stop and look at something.Two. Time limits: At some store sales, you have only a short time to buy something: TODAY only: all T-shirts 25 percent off. When you read this sign, you may be more likely to buy a shirt you don’t need. Why? Because you can only get the lower price today.Three. Special extras: Other stores offer something special: Buy one bag, get one 50 percent off! When people read this sign, many will buy two bags instead of one. They may not need the second bag, but they buy it anyway.Four. Free samples: Some stores give shoppers a little food, drink, or other item to try for free. Studies show that when you try something, you are more likely to buy it.The next time you go into a store or shop online, look around.

Dear Dr. Micro, I need your help. I am drowning in information overload at work. Between the telephone calls, voicemail systems, email messages, and faxes, it’s becoming too much. At the office I am often trying to carry on a conversation while typing a memo and checking the time for my next conference call. I spend my days sitting in front of my computer or talking to clients on the telephone. I have almost no face-to-face interaction with people during the day. And at night, it’s the same problem as I try to answer email and IMs from my friends and family. I thought all this technology was supposed to make my life easier, but it’s rapidly becoming a recipe for disaster. I feel chained to my computer. —Nadia Silva

My uncle gave it to me when I was five, and it?s been with me ever since. It brought me luck in all my college exams. I can?t bring myself to part with it.Q: What does the man say about his lucky charm?2.ScriptW: Wish me luck; I?ve got a job interview this afternoon. I?m really nervous.M: Stay calm, best of luck! I?ve got my finger crossed for you.Q: What does the woman say he has crossed his fingers for the woman?3. ScriptW: Oh no! Did you see that black cat walk right in front of me? That?s unlucky!M:Really? I guess it depends on where you come from. In my hometown it?s the opposite: It?s lucky to see a black cat cross your path. So no need to worry!Q: What do the man and the woman think about a black cat crossing their path?4. ScriptM: Guess what I did this morning? I smashed my mirror. A great way to start the day! W: Oh no, seven years? bad luck, isn?t it?Q: What happened in the morning?5. ScriptM: I can?t believe this rain; it?s been pouring for hours! Where can I dry my umbrella?W: Not in here please! It?s unlucky to open an umbrella indoors. You can put it on the porch.Q: Where does the woman ask the man do to open his umbrella?Keys: 1.C2.C3. A 4.D 5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: David Copperfield is coming.W:My brother is going to pick up some tickers for the David Copperfield show.You interested in coming with us?M:I don?t know. I?ve been card tricks before, and rabbits from hats. I even do tricks myself—watch me change this coin into an ice cream cone.W:Very funny. David Copperfield is the world?s greatest magician; he?s certainly worth a look.M:Actually, I have seen him on television. He pulls off some pretty amazing stunts. I wish I knew how he performed his tricks. Then I could also makea person float in the air. I could pull a rabbit out of my hat. I could escapefrom a straitjacket and handcuffs—all underwater. And I could saw awoman in half.W: A magician never tells his secrets. David attempts the impossible and no one has any idea how he does it. I saw him on TV when he walked throughthe Great Wall of China.M:How could he do that?W: I have no idea, but I know what I saw: He entered a canvas shelter on one side of the wall, and he came out of a canvas shelter on the other side.M:yes, bur was he always in full view of the camera, or did they cut to a commercial or something else?W:Not only was the camera running all the time, but he was hooked up a heart monitor, and you could track his progress as he moved through the wall. M:It?s difficult to know what to believe. I know it?s not possible for him to do that, but…W: It sounds to me like it?s a show worth watching.M: Count me in. Instead of an ice cream cone, I?ll turn my money into a ticket.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.Which of the following DOESN?T the man mention?3.What did David Copperfield do at the Great Wall of China, according to thewoman?4.Under what condition did David Copperfield go through the Great Wall?5.What does the man finally decide to do?Keys: 1C 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.CFor Reference1. He could make a person float in the air, pull a rabbit out of his hat, escape from astraitjacket and handcuffs—all underwater, and saw a woman in half.2. She thinks Davis Copperfield in the world?s greatest magician and he?s certainlyworth a look.Task 2: Is it really bad luck?ScriptAre you worried because you have just broken a mirror? Some people believe that breaking a mirror is a (S1) terrible thing to do. They say it will bring you seven years of (S2) misfortune. The reason behind this belief stems the old idea that a person?s soul is in their (S3) reflection, so that if you smash your mirror, you soul will be (S4) damaged too, dooming you do an early death, and not giving you entry to (S5) heaven. Is there any way to reverse this bad luck? Yes—if you very carefully (S6) pick up all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be”(S7) washed away”.Of all number, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. (S8) Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified, and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, twelve gods had gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke, entered. After the meal, Loke killed Balder, who was the most beloved of all the gods.(S9) Friday the thirteenth of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the thirteenth of March is the worst of the all.The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is luck. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and (S10)When people talk about the “seven-year itch”they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change in personality.Task3: The Status on Easter IslandScriptOne of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues on Easter Island. The island is one of the most remote places on Earth, located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, but it is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who carved these statures, and how and why were they put there?Nobody knows the answer for sure, but many ate trying to find out. There are manytheories to explain this mystery. It has even been suggested the space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues. Another theory relates to the fact that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousand of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the color of sky and the sun , the shapes of clouds, and the presence of birds making flights out to sea seeking food. The Polynesians first arrived on the island in 499A.D.However, the ocean currents which carried them there would mot take them back. They were trapped and, having arrived there, could not leave. The Polynesians probable cared the statues themselves, perhaps as religious symbols.To date, 887 statues have been discovered on the island. However, only a few statues were carried intended destination. The rest were abandoned along the way.The statues appear to have been carved out of the top edge of walls of a volcano on the island. After a statue was carved, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the base of the volcano. Then it was put upright, and ropes were tied around it. Using a pulley system, the statue was moves to its intended destination.At its peak, the population of Eater Island is believed to have reached 11,000. Eventually, the resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating one another. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.1.When and by whom was the island discovered?2.Who are mentioned in the passage as possible builders of the statues?3.What is true of the Polynesians on the island according to the passage?4.How many statues ere carried to their intended destination?5. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?Keys: 1A 2.B3. D 4.D 5BFor ReferenceThe resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating each other. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1This is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts.Chris: Sue, do you know why people say, “knock on wood” when they want to avoid bad luck?Susan: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it has a lot to do with ancient Celtic people. They worshipped trees.Chris: Sounds interesting.Susan: They thoughts trees would suck demons back into the ground.Chris: Well, when you think about the deep roots, their belief seems to make some senses.Susan: What?s more, knocking on wood was a way to brag without being punished.People once thought that evil spirits would become jealous if good fortunewas pointed out to themChris: Uh, yes, go on.Susan: well, by knocking on wood three times, the noise could frightened away the evil spirits, and they couldn?t have to rob the braggart of that good fortune Chris: I?m afraid those who don?t know this superstition might be frightened away as well. Susan:Now here?s a test. Do you know how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originated?Chris:I haven?t the slightest idea, but I?m all ears.Susan:Again this is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts. Since they worshipped trees, they conducted many of their ceremonies in thewoods in the shade of trees.Chris: Now I see. Probably it?s under these mistletoe trees that weddings took place. Susan: I wish you were standing under some mistletoe right now.Chris: Luckily I?m not. Touch wood.MODEL2 Is there any relationship between superstitions and real life?ScriptChris: It?s strange that so many people are superstitious. There must be some relationship between superstitions and real life.Susan:You know, Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist researched the relationship between superstition and luck. Chris: What did he find? Most people would be interested. At least I would Susan:He polled ,000 people and fond that people who believe themselves to be lucky tend to go for positive superstitions .They may wear a ring as a talismanor often say,” touch wood” for good luck.Chris: Then, what about the unlucky people? Do you mean if they think they ate unlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions abut bad luck.Susan: Yeah. They worry a lot about a broken mirror, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Chris: So what is his point?Susan: His point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror. Chris: So, our fate is linked to our attitude rather than to our superstitions.Susan: I think that?s what he is suggesting.Chris: This research seems too complicates. If I were a psychologist, I would conducta survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number. I f there ere trafficaccidents or murders on the 13th than on other days, then we have to believe in superstitions.Susan: What if there weren?t?Chris: Then I wouldn?t be superstitious.Susan: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon. Chris: Well as long as you don?t think I?m a fool.MODEL3 I believe ETs have visited the earth before.ScriptNora: Hey, what?s this picture of yours? It looks like a flying saucer.Chris: It is. I was visited by aliens last week and this is a picture of their spacecraft. Nora: When I look closer, it resembles aliver Frisbee.Chris: But it could have been aliens. I believe ETs have visited the earth befor e. What do you think?Nora:It would be hard to believe otherwise. Projects like the pyramids are difficult to explain away, given the level of technology that was available at the time Chris: That?s for sure. They are mysterious.Nora: When you consider all those “impossibilities, it?s tempting to infer that some highly advanced civilization assisted humans in their construction.Chris: Think about this: if you were abducted by aliens and taken up to their spaceship or something …well…Nora: What do you mean?Chris: I mean, who would believe you? You?d go nuts telling everyone: “It?s true! I was abducted by aliens!”Nora: And everyone would think you were crazy, or just making up a story to getattention.Chris: From what I understand,sometimes these people do go crazy, trying to convince people about their experiences. Nora: I believe that in some cases they offer pretty good evidence.Chris: So, take a closer look at this picture. Do you still think it?s a Frisbee?Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSimon: Eliza, do you know why people say” keep your fingers crossed” when they want to wish others luck?Eliza: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it?s a lot to do with an ancient Christian belief.Simon: Uh, go on.Eliza:In the Christian belief “making the sign of the cross” would keep away evil spirits and bad luck.Simon: I see. When you think about the cross, sign of Christianity, that belief seems to make some sense.Eliza:That?s true. That?s why children often cross their fingers when they tell a small lie. They want to keep bad luck away, or to avoid being punished. Simon: Sounds interesting. So, I?ll cross my fingers for you before you take the final examination. Eliza:Thank you.Simon: But those who don?t understand this superstition might be puzzledEliza:With interesting communications among nations, more and more people can understand it now.V. Let’s TalkScriptThanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,” stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers.It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious people tended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once a toilet had been flushed.There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn?t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started.Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Horseshoes as a Sign of Good LuckScriptHorseshoes are a traditional sign of good luck. Most people believe this comes from the fact that the horseshoe is shaped like the crescent moon, a period of prosperity and good fortune. One legend has it that the Devil was in disguise and wandering at large, looking for trouble. He happened to call on St. Dunstan, who ea skilled in shoeing horses. St. Dunstan recognized the Devil and tied him to a wall with only his feet free to move. He then set to work shoeing him as though he were a horse, but with such roughness the Devil cried out for mercy. St. Dunstan stopped his work and released the Devil after making him promise never to enter a home on which a horseshoe wasfixed. Witches fear horses, so they are also turned away by a door with a horseshoe mounted on it. The big issue regarding horseshoes is whether they should be hung points up or points down.The original superstition was that the horseshoe is points up to keep the luck from pouring out. Despite this view most buildings with horseshoes in their sign hang them the opposite way. The Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas hangs its horseshoe with the arc on top. They may be hoping their customers? luck runs out, but this is usually not something you advertise in your sign. Finger rings made of horseshoe nail are said to keep away bad luck. Also, robbing two horseshoes together is said to bring good luck.1.According to the passage, what does the crescent moon represent?2.What did St. Dunstan do to the Devil?3.What did the Devil promise?4.What is the big issue concerning the horseshoe?5.Why is the arc of the horseshoe up at the casino in Las Vegas?Keys: 1.A 2.C 3.D 4.C5.BTask 2: Superstitions or real bad lucks?ScriptJoan: Pass me that mirror, would you? I?ll see if my makeup is OK.Dick: OOOPS!! Sorry I dropped it…but is it you or me that gets the seven years of bad luck?Joan: You, I hope, but probable neither of us. I wonder where that “old wives? tale”originated anyway.Dick: There used to be a lot of superstitions: black cats, ladders, numbers. My parent and grandparents are full of them.Joan: I agree. People today are much more educated than before. These superstitions are just amusing pieced of history rather than beliefs, don?t you think so? Dick: Perhaps, but some people today still go for them. People whose livelihoods depend more on luck—like professional athletes, or fishermen—often they have superstitious routines.Joan: It?s rue. I have heard of athletes who wear lucky socks or a treasured medal to bring them good fortune.Dick: And let?s not forget lucky numbers. We all know about the number4,6, and 8 inChina.Joan: I know 4 is death and 8 is wealth, but what is the significance of 6?Dick: 6 means good luck. Some people include 6 in their e-mail address just for luck. Joan: Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are.Dick: Well, there are many things in th e universe that we cannot control, and that?s why people are superstitious.Keys: TTFFTTask3: Career TransitionsScriptThere was a king in Africa who has a close friend that he grew up with. The friend has a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”One day the king and his friend were out hunting. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!” to which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail.About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied him to a stake surrounded by wood. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king had but one thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So they set the king free.As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb off and felt badly sorry about his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right,”he said, “it was good for my thumb was blown off.” Then he apologized, “I?m very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”“What do you mean, …this is good?? How could it be good that I sent you, my good friend, to jail for all this time?”“If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.!”For Reference1.He had a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”2.After taking the gun, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.3.They set the king free, because being superstitious, they never ate anyone that wasless than whole4.He felt sorry for his friend and went to the jail to apologize to him.5. If he had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.News ReportEgyptian TombsScriptArchaeologist have uncovered two tombs that date back more than 2,500 years in the part of Cairo where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood, according to Egyptian antiquity authorities.Although there is a modern suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo southeast of its ancient namesake, the original Heliopolis was known as a center of learning and academic study in ancient Mediterranean times.The 26-century-old tombs that date back to the years 664 to 625 BC were developed during a routine archaeological inspection of an empty plot of land in the Eins Shams district of northwestern Cairo. This district covers part of the ground that used to be the ancient city of Heliopolis.The owner of the land was seeking construction rights and by law, construction cannot begin without a permit certifying that the site has no historical significance.The first of the two limestone tombs to be opened contained a sarcophagus and sixteen statuettes, said the chief statearchaeologist for the Cairo-Giza area, Zahi Hawass.Hawass said in a statement that the tombs were found in a d owntown residential area, three meters below the ground. [SOUND BITE]Hawass went on to give a more detailed account of the important find.[SOUND BITE]It appears that the tombs have not been raided by grave robbers, but they have been damaged by leaking sewage water. The first tomb to be uncovered belonged to a builder named Waja-Hur. His name was engraved on the statuettes, which the ancient Egyptians placed in tombs to answer questions for them in the afterlife.Te process of recovering these artifacts can be long and tedious, but the historical significance of these pieces makes the painstaking work worthwhile.[SOUND BITE]Egyptian archaeologists plan to open the second tomb on Sunday.。

Unit 6Lead in > Task 1∙Fashion goes round in circles. — Siobhan Fahey∙Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom. — Golda Meir ∙Fashion is made to become unfashionable. — Coco ChanelI agree with the first statement, because very few fashions in music, movies, clothes, etc. are completely new. You can always find similar fashions in the past.I don't think the third statement is true. If some fashions were well designed, they can endure the test of time. For example, the T-shirt is so comfortable, jeans so durable, and the miniskirt shows a girl's legs so beautifully. These fashions may last a long time—even forever.Listening skills: Identifying the relationship between the speakersGirl 1:What do you think of this miniskirt, Amy? Pretty hot stuff, eh?Girl 2:Wow... it's pretty short. My mom would never let me wear something like that.Girl 1:My mom's cool. She lets me make my own decisions about clothes. Girl 2:Not my mom. She'd be mad if I came home in a skirt like that.Girl 1:Let's both get one. Then maybe your mom won't be so upset if we're both wearing the same skirt.Girl 2:Well... maybe.Mother:Lily, where did you get that skirt? You can't wear that. It's much too short! What will others think?Lily:You don't understand fashion. It's what everyone is wearing. Besides,I think it looks very attractive.Mother:Nonsense, it's only suitable for a supermodel on the catwalk. It's not meant for ordinary people like us. Your dad is sure to say the skirtis far too revealing!Lily:But it's really in high fashion; everyone is wearing clothes like this. Mother:Not everyone. Your friend Amy would never wear a skirt like that!(Amy comes in, wearing the same style of short skirt.)Lily:Look, Amy has come. She's wearing the same skirt!Mother:My God, I give up.Listening in > Task 1Lily:Mom, look at that woman. Her dress looks funny.Mother:I wouldn't say that, Lily. It looks fine to me.Lily:Are you kidding? She's out of fashion. That's last year's style.Mother:Oh, come on! As long as it looks good on her.Lily:Wow! You're really as out-dated as she is.Mother:You're right. I'm out of date. So what? What's the point of following fashion trends?Lily:No wonder you never buy me new dresses.Listening in > Task 2Fashion designers design and make fashionable clothes for men and women. They begin trends and create new styles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January, they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, they visit to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That's why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.Listening in > Task 3There are different kinds of models. Fashion models may walk on catwalks or runways to display and promote various types of clothing, such as underwear, dresses and swimsuits—especially bikinis. Some supermodels are highly-paid fashion models and often appear on the covers of top fashion magazines. Bikini models are usually required to have a very thin body shape that is considered attractive. A glamour model, on the other hand, often poses on a red carpet for photographs, which emphasize the model's appealing body shape more than the fashion of the clothes. Glamour models are also used for advertising in men's magazines.There are differences as to what should be the best body shape for a model, but the British Association of Model Agents says that the idealchest-waist-hip measurements for a female model, also called her vital statistics, are around 34-24-34 inches (or 86-61-86 centimeters). Models should also be at least 5 feet 8 inches (or 1.73 meters) tall. It is believed that a good body shape is a sign of good health and reproductive ability.Today, many people think that the emphasis of the media and fashion industry on thinness and an ideal female body shape is harming the health of young women, as this emphasis gives rise to excessive dieting and results in eating disorders. This alarming trend focuses on thinness above fitness and has caused some organizers of fashion shows to even turn away models judged to be too thin.Speaking out > Model 1Speaking out > Model 2Speaking out > Model 3Let's talk > Task 1Mary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between the generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world's attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short skirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. "If I didn't make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves." she said. Eventually, Ms. Quant's skirts, which arrived in the United States in themid-60's, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generations believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant's opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose made girls look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women's liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.Let's talk > Task 2Let's talk > Task 3Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 1Before the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30 p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. I could hear the talking—fashion shows are not a theater, and people don't keep quiet. Journalists were discussing what to write about; buyers asking each other whether they could make a profit from the clothes. And although we have been chosen for our looks, which are suitable for certain dresses, as models, we are just a form of advertisement for the designer. So we walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. We are not creative human beings, just smiling dolls.Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 2She was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was afraid that somebody would seeOne, two, three, four, tell the people what she woreIt was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time todayAn itsy bitsy teentie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stayTwo, three, four, stick around we'll tell you moreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so a blanket around her she woreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so she sat bundled up on the shoreTwo, three, four, tell the people what she wore...Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 3Daughter:Mom, I need some new clothes.

People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have private security guards and sometimes even police stations. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees. The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, 8 nightclubs, and a 7-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week. The first indoor mall in the U.S. was built in 1965 in Minnesota, but now malls are like town centers where people come to do many things. They shop, eat food from all over the world, and see movies at theaters. Some people even get their daily exercise from the new sport of “mall walking”. Others go to malls to meet friends. In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church. In a word, people can do just about everything in malls.。
