However,what we get from school is just a small part of what we cation includes both formal learning at school and informal learning in society.So education is much broader than schooling.Education can take place anywhere,whether in the street or at a party.Likewise, educators can be anyone,ranging from an elderly woman in the neighbourhood to a young reporter on TV.The general patterns of teaching at school always remain relatively the same. Students arrive at school at the set time and take the assigned courses.The learning materials and the tests used at school are limited.We know what we can get from school education,but we can never give a full picture of what we can expect from education.F or instance,while travelling if you have a chat with a local shopkeeper, you may discover more about local culture.Education starts from the moment a person is born.It lasts for a life time and becomes part of his/her life.Key(F)1.We get most of our education at school.(T)cation can occur in a local shop when travelling.(T)3.Students at school usually use similar textbooks.(F)4.Only at school can you get new information and skills.(T)cation is always with us throughout our whole lives.Look at the diagram made by Daisy Kabagarama about the components of culture in her book,Breaking the Ice.Listen to the speaker's descriptions.Write down the key words in the blanks.The first letter of each word is already given.Components of Culture The term culture has been defined in many ways.Howard defines it as the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behaviour and thoughts.I define culture as the way of life of a group of people.In that way,culture is in essence the moulder of human behaviour of a certain group.Culture has several major components.The first important one is material possessions,which refer to objects like books or clothes.The non-material component can be illustrated by the following parts:values,norms,beliefs,emotions,attitudes,aspirations,laws,and symbols.The arrows in the figure point in both directions,suggesting that culture shapes these components.In turn,these aspects impact culture,which means culture is dynamic,always undergoing great changes.For example ,people who share the same level of material possessions may have different values or beliefs.People who have similar beliefs may change the ways to express emotions.From birth to death,people are faced with cultural messages and change in these components.Key2)Material possessionslaws attitudes emotionsListen to a speaker talking about her recent travels in West Africa and write down a short answer to each of the following questions.The Greatest Humanitarian CauseIn my recent travels to West Africa,I came to see how much in need so many people are in this part of the world.Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than those who die in the continuing bloody conflicts.We live in a world filed with conditions that cry out for others to help.What can you do in a world that needs such help?Serving and volunteering, whether in your community or in a developing country overseas,is a wonderful way to fill real human needs.Being involved in serving others and true humanitarian causes can offer you experience and contact with others that will help you through the rest of your life.The biggest benefit is that you have a direct impact on helping other human beings.We should remember that serving the needs of the despondent of this world is a very worthy cause.Doing good,one act at a time,one person at a time,is an important part of being a light in a world of darkness and preparing for a greater cause in the future.Key1.What are the West Africans suffering from?Infectious disease,poverty and continuing bloody conflicts.2.What can we do to fill real human needs?Serving and volunteering in our community or in a developing country overseas.3.What benefits can we enjoy from true humanitarian causes?Involvement in such causes offers us experience and contact with others,which will be beneficial throughout our life.4.Why is it a very worthy cause to serve the needs of the despondent of this world?Doing good for the despondent is like bringing light in a world of darkness and helps to prepare for greater causes in the future.Unit6U ni t6.m p3Listen to a speaker talking about the damage done by ice plete the following chart with the information you hear.Ice-Storm Numbers Tell Chilling TaleIn January1998,three successive storms dropped more than4inches of freezing rain in areas of New England and southern Canada.About100,00people had to take refuge in shelters,while the Red Cross raised more than$10million to help the victims.The ice brought down more than1,000power transmission towers and30,000 wooden utility poles.Nearly1.7million customers lost their electricity,in some areas for weeks.More than one-third of all farmland in the region was affected.Nearly 5.3million sugar-maple trees were in the path of the storm,and it may take 30to 40years for maple syrup production to return to normal.The hardest hit were dairy farmers,as nearly one-quarter of Canada's Cows were subjected to the storm.The ones that survived may never reach their previous level of production.Furthermore,2.5million gallons of milk,valued at more than $5million,had to be dumped because there was no electricity.KeyDamages Caused by Ice StormsUnit 7U ni t 7.m p 3Listen to a speaker talking about the facets of a person's physical appearance and his/her life.Then decide whether the following statements are true (T)or false (F).This is Charlotte.She was born just a few hours ago.Like most of us at birth,there's really nothing to her:a bit of fat,a little of sugar,a bit of protein;actually she's 75per cent water.She's really a collection of chemicals.And yet,she's the most complicated thing on Earth;and during her lifetime,she'll achieve the most amazing things.She'll eat for nearly three and a half years,consuming 7,300eggs and 160kilograms of chocolate.She'll crawl 150kilometers before she's two.From then on,she'll learn a new word every two hours for the next ten years.By the time she's ten,her heart will have beaten 368million times.She'll spend a litter over 12years watching TV and two and half years on the telephone.During her life,she'll fall in love twice.If she gets married,there's a 60%chance she'll stay married to the same person for the rest of her life.And her chance of becoming a celebrity is less than 0.01%.Key[F]1.Charlotte was a bit too fat when she was born.[T]2.Charlotte will crawl 150kilometers before she is two years old.[T]3.She'll learn a new word every two hours from age two to twelve.[F]4.According to the speaker,this little girl has the potential to accomplish great things in her life.[F]5.What the speaker says is an accurate forecast of an English woman's life AreasDamagesPeople ·About 100,000people had to live in shelter.·More than $10million was raised to help the victimsElectricity ·More than 1,000power transmission towers and 30,000utility poles fell.·Nearly 1.7million customers lost electricity.Crops ·More than 1/3of all farmland in the region was

Come here, let me feel your head…you don’t seem to have a fever; maybe I should get the thermometer…Chris: It’s mostly in my stomach.Mother: Well, what exactly is wrong? Are you nauseous; do you have pains; do you have heartburn?Chris: no, not exactly. My stomach just feels funny.Mother: Was it something you ate? You didn’t throw up, did you? Chris: No.Mother: What did you and your friends eat at the mall last night? Chris: The usual junk. You know, burgers and fries.Mother: I hope you weren’t drinking with your friends last night.

Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another.

From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train rig ht away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome.

Unit6Listen1-1Early one morning,my husband turned on the radio.Suddenly he exclaimed,"That has to be Rod.No one else talks like that!"We listened attentively and heard the announcer say,"You've just been listening to an interview with Dr.Rod Smith,who has been telling you about a breakthrough in AIDS research that he and his colleagues have made."We both had Rod as a student and agreed that he was absolutely the slowest student we had ever had.He spoke slowly,moved slowly,and wrote slowly.We suspected that he thought slowly.When he took an examination,he could never finish it.The unanswered questions kept him from having high marks.During his senior year,Rod announced that he wanted to go to graduate school,but no graduate school would accept him.He kept trying and a year or so later the biology department of a large university allowed him to enroll in a few classes on a trial basis. They discovered that he was talented in basic research.He was then allowed to enter the master's degree program,and later the Ph.D.program.He cheerfully persevered.In six years he could proudly add the title of"Doctor"to his name.His professional career began and we lost track of him,until we heard his slow,steady voice that morning.There is no great moral to our story,except that many times persistence does pay. We'd like to hope there will be more institutions that will look beyond test scores and consider the other personal strengths that prospective students may have.We thus urge all young students to remember the old saying,"If at first you don't succeed,try,and try again."一天早上，我丈夫打开收音机。

From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as f ar as Fremont, it costs a lot more. Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is? Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley? Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance! Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that.Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth. Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take? Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right? Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one s top on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station.Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change tr ains. Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it?Denise: It’s 8:15.Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after8:04.Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch?Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house.Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train righ t away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46. Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll h ave no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring.Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming!

Unit 1Section Conversational SkillsDirections: Listen to a lecture on how to be a good conversationalist. Make notes to complete the outline below.Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about occupations, locations and relationships between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.l. W: Did you go to the lecture given byAlan Shepherd from NASA yesterday?M:Yes. And I was very interested in it. 1 hope that someday I can travel to the outer space myself.Q; Who is Alan Shepherd according to the conversation?2. M: I keep hearing the name Lucky Bumper. He sounds like a terrible person. Who ishe?W; He isn't a real person. There is a TV show called "All in the Family". Lucky Bumper is the father.Q: Who is Lucky Bumper?3. M: Don't worry about the meter ma'am. It's broken. I'll charge you a flat two dollars for the ride.W: If the traffic is this every day, it's worth twice as much.Q: What is the man's profession?4. W: I'm glad you could come today. The drain became stopped up yesterday afternoon.M: Don't worry. I'll have it open for you in no time.W: What is die man?5.W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m., please?M; I'll try, Mam, but on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at midnight.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?6. M: Before Sam built his house, he was living on a boat; and then in a tent.W: Don't forget that just before he moved in, he stayed at the hotel.Q: Where did Sam live first?7. M; Mrs. Smith, the heating in our apartment is broken again- It's freezing up here. W: I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Reed. I'll get someone to fix it right away.M: We pay our rent on time every month, but there is always something wrong with the apartment.W: I'm sorry you've been disturbed. I'll try to change new heaters for you this time. Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?8. M: Well, we need some temporary labor in our packing department. Just for a shorttime; but the job will be rather monotonous.Unit 2Section Q American EtiquetteDirections:Listen to a talk on American etiquette on certain social occasions. At the end of the talk, there will be three questions. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given for each question.In general, it's polite to say "Congratulations!" (with a lot of enthusiasm) whena person has accomplished something- Examples of these kinds of occasions include graduation, Job promotion, the birth of a child, and the purchase of a home. When congratulations are in order, it is sometimes also appropriate to give a gift, especially when invited to a birthday, graduation, wedding, or anniversary party.An invitation may say RSVP on the bottom, an abbreviation that refers to a French expression meaning "respond, please". If the invitation says, "RSVP regrets only," respond by mail or by phone only if you cannot come.Equal attention must be given to good manners on sad occasions. If a coworker, classmate, or neighbor experiences a death in the family, it is appropriate to express sympathy. In doing so, the words die or death should be avoided. It is best to simply say, "1 was so sorry to hear about your loss." It's also customary to send a sympathy card, but if you don't know the mourner's religion, be sure to select a card without religious symbols. Most customs regarding mourning relate to the family's religion and vary from one group to another, so don't send flowers or food unless you know it's appropriate.The simple words "I'm sorry" display good manners in a great many difficult social situations. "I'm sorry" has two main uses: (1) to express sympathy to someone who has had a bad experience; (2) to express regret for bothering someone or causing a problem. Other expressions of apology are "Excuse me" and "Pardon me". Use one of these expressions when you are trying to get out of a crowded elevator or stopping a stranger to ask directions.Question 1: According to the talk, on what occasions is it especially appropriate to give a gift?Question 2: When you receive an invitation which says RSVP, what are you expected to do?Question 3: Which of the following behaviors is appropriate for you when you hear your friend experiences a death?Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about offer and request between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.1. M: Would you care for a biscuit?W: Not just at the moment, thank you. I'd rather have another piece of cake if I may.Q: What does the woman want now?2. W: How annoying! I can't figure out a solution to this problem. Can you helpme?M: Well, I'm afraid I can't at the moment.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: What can I do for you, gentleman? Maybe you like this suit, because the colormatches your skin and it is the latest fashion.M: Yes, it's really a good suit and it's of good color. But I Just walk around and watch. Thank you just the same.Q: What did the man accept?4. W: Your garden is too dry, and it needs water. Let me give you a hand to waterthe flower first.M: The garden is dry and I'm drier, would you fetch me some water please?Q: What did the man offer?5. M: The room is too stuffy, let me turn on the ventilator for you and air the room. W: Yes, it's too smoky here and I can hardly breathe.Q: If the woman accepts the man's offer, what will the man do?6. M: What's the matter?W; I have heard some strange engine noise when I'm driving 30 miles per hour.M: Why don't you call the Car Talk program provided by the radio station? They can help you.Q: What is Car Talk about according to this conversation?7. W: The bus is so crowded, jammed like sardines. Oh, my God'M: But can I offer you my seat?

上册U1WDo you remember your favorite hobbies when you were a child? What do those mean to you? Luther , Sarah , and William are discussing their childhood hobbies。
Luther: My hobby is stamp collecting. I started at the age of six, and I’ve been collecting stamps ever since. Stamps are tiny but amazing. They're miniature works of art, covering just about every subject you can think of. Sometimes stamps are worth more as they get older, and I guess that's one of the reasons they are treasured by many collectors.Sarah: When I was a little girl, my friends were fond of dolls or cartoons, but I just loved yard work. My house had a big yard, which I regarded as my fantasy world. I helped my grandmother mow the lawn and spread fertilizer. Actually was a little bit lazy in my schoolwork but never in yard work. Some of my friends said it was an activity that only retired people took up. I didn’t mind. I enjoyed making my yard beautiful and I enjoyed sweating after a whole days work. It's good for my health. Maybe I’ll spend most of my time in the yard after I retireWilliam: Transformers! Optimus Prime and Megatron! Those robots from the 1980s that would turn into cars and planes. That’s why I became a mechanical designer. Few people can claim to be as big a fan of Transformers as I am. I have an entire room in my house dedicated to them, over 700 Transformers from every generation, as well as many posters and tons of other collectible items. Transformer collecting is not just a hobby to me--they're a way of life.U1PThe other morning, I overheard a nine-year-old boy complain: “We don’t want that nerd in our soccer team. We are so ashamed that he doesn’t know a goal-kick from a head-shot. As it happens the "nerd" was my son. I'm sorry, Son, I guess I blew it. My son didn’t receive serious instruction as other boys did. In my day, when we played baseball, it didn’t matter if any of us played terribly; we weren’t out to slaughter the other team. To us, sports were just a way of having a good time.I enjoy singing badly and drawing badly. I'm not ashamed of my incompetence in these areas.I do one or two other things well, but I'd always like to try something new which I don’t have to be good at. Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style. In today’s competitive world we have to be experts even in hobbies.if you pull on your gym shoes and jog around the block once in a while, you' l be laughed at by the so-called "serious runners" -the ones who run 20 miles or more a week in their 50-dollar jogging suits and fancy shoes. As far as they are concerned, if you don’t have the latest shoes, you are embarrassing yourself. And going dancing no longer means putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns on Saturday night. Nowadays, dancing means squeezing into tights sweating through five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz classes and then dance like a beautiful swan to make others obsessed. It seems that we pay too much attention to self-improvement, even with hobbies. I don’t think hobbies bring as much fun as they used to.Let's draw for drawings sake. Let's sing for singings sake. We are talking about recreation and the activities we enjoy. We take up those because they are for our pleasure.上册U3WWe usually think that school is the only place where people get an education. However, what we get from school is just a small part of what we learn. Education includes both formal learning at school and informal learning in society. So education is much broader than schooling.Education can take place anywhere, whether in the street or at a party. Likewise, educators can be anyone, ranging from an elderly woman in the neighborhood to a young reporter on TV.The general patterns of teaching at school always remain relatively the same. Students arrive at school at the set time and take the assigned courses. The learning materials and the tests used at school are limited. We know what we can get from school education, but we can never give a full picture of what we can expect from education. For instance, while travelling if you have a chat with a local shopkeeper, you may discover more about local culture.Education starts from the moment a person is born. It lasts for a lifetime and becomes part of his / her life.上册U3PLike most students at Fort Hays State University, Nola Ochs plans to spend some time reading and studyi ng during this week’s fall break. But she’ll take time out on Wednesday to celebrate her 95th birthday.Ochs is living on campus while pursuing her degree in theology at the university. She has about 15 hours of classes to take next semest er to get her bachelor’s degree. If she does it, Ochs will beThe Guinness Book of World Records oldest college graduate. But it will also be the culmination of a lifetime of learning. She started at Fort Hays in 1930, when it was known as Kansas State Teachers College. In the 1970s, she took classes part-time at a community college and completed a few virtual classes on the Internet before deciding to attend classes this semester.On Friday, her family and fellow classmates will throw her a birthday party. Her son, Alan Ochs, flew in from Jetmore for the occasion. Her granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, didn’t have to travel as far--she's in the same class as her grandmother. After the party Alan Ochs will take his mother home for Thanksgiving break. We’re happy to get her back home for a while, he said. "We missed having her out there, especially through the fall harvest.”Though Nola is amused by her potential status as the world's oldest graduate, she said she’s more excited about getting to walk at the graduation ceremony with her granddaughter.上册U5WIn my recent travels to West Africa, I came to see how much in need so many people are in this part of the world. Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than those who die in the continuing bloody conflicts. We live in a world filled with conditions that cry out for others to help.What can you do in a world that needs such help? Serving and volunteering, whether in your community or in a developing country overseas, is a wonderful way to fill real human needs. Being involved in serving others and true humanitarian causes can offer you experience and contact with others that will help you through the rest of your life. The biggest benefit is that you have a direct impact on helping other human beings.We should remember that serving the needs of the despondent of this world is a very worthy cause. Doing good, one act at a time, one person at a time, is an important part of being a light in a world of darkness and preparing for a greater cause in the future.U5PI was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I honestly said that the principal reason for my interview with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years had recently died. A job in Boston would help me reduce the extreme pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter, since it's important to keep her in her present school.I could still barely talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn’t probe any further. He acknowledged my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject.After the next interview Bruce took me to lunch and asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife of 20 years. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as mine-a pain almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need someone to talk to. I should feel free to call him.Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of extreme need.下册U1WEdmund inspects houses for a living. His job is to find hidden problems in houses that are being sold.Once when he was inspecting a property In New Hampshire, he came across some old papers--and four bank deposit bags in a drawer.Edmund unzipped a bag and found several $ 100 bills. He opened the second bag, and there were still more 100 bills. He didn’t bother unzipping the third or fourth. He called out to the property agent. He had us come in and get it. He didn’t want anything to do with it said Lewis, the agent. He could just as well have put it in his pocket.Lewis finally got in touch with the previous owner. The grand total in the drawer was right at $ 20, 000.One of the heirs to the estate sent Edmund a $ 50 reward. But he honest inspector immediately said that money would go to a charity. When people asked him if it crossed his mind to take the money, he said he never even thought about it. That’s the nature of my business, he said. You're in people’s houses. There’s no room for crooks there.下册U1PI had a teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died suddenly ofa heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with us. With a gentle look of reflection on her face , she paused and said , Before class is over , I would like to share with you a thought that is unrelated to class , but which I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. And none of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. So we must make the most out of every single day.”Her eyes began to water, she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see. It could be a scent, or a sound of the breeze. Please, look for these things, and cherish them. These things are the stuff of life. We must make it important to notice them, for at any time, it can all be taken away.”The class was completely quiet. Then we filed out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overlook. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.下册U2PYou’ve heard the expression , " What you see is what you get My grandfather used to say : " If you looked at a tree long enough , it will move . " We see what we want to see. Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you‘ll be successful, you won’t. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next? Schwarzenegger answered I’m going to be the No.1 movie star in Hollywood. The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent could ever hope to be Hollywood's movie star.When the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: “I’ll do it the same way I became the No.1 bodybuilder in the world. What I do was create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true. Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger becomes the No.1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood Remember: "If you can see it, you can be it.A successful businessman I kn ow wears a shirt with these words on it: "Don’t just pursue your dreams. Chase some down and tackle them! "You only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? So you can be fully satisfied at what you see and get.下册U10WAmericans are working longer and longer hours. The result is the record levels of burnout, stress, and depression. We have the shortest vacations in the industrialized world. With laptops and cell phones, the workplace barges into your home, your weekends, and even your vacations.Joe Robinson established the Work to Live campaign to change things for the better. And in his book Take Back Your Time, he shows what you can do to make a change in your life--so that you’ve actually got one.Negotiate a longer vacation and less overtime.Set clear boundaries between work and home and get more time for persona life.Resist pressure from the company and the culture to overwork.Rediscover the outside world and enjoy friends, family, hobbies and travel.Create your Personal Life List.Businesses give their equipment "downtime “for maintenance rest, and refueling. Why notthe same for you? It's time to stand up for your rights and claim a happy, healthy balance between your work and your life.下册U10PDoes this scenario sound familiar to you? You love your work and are responsible for multiple tasks assigned to you. Or you own your own business. Your work hours are long, your at-home hours short and your sleep hours few. Vacations and visits with friends are a distant memory. Your only hobby is your job.It's pretty likely that you're a workaholic. Workaholics live for their work, often spending many extra hours at work, and often taking work home to complete. Americans are typically a work-hard culture but when work becomes the sole reason for one's existence the issue becomes critical.Part of the matter is societal. Americans are working more hours per week than in years past. With all the downsizings, more and more workers are putting in extra hours to complete the work and don’t even bother to take vacations for fear that they may lose the job if they do.Part of the matter is technological. We live and work in a connected environment--e-mails, fax machines, and cell phones making it hard for workers to get time away from their work.Part of the matter is financial. Whether it is how more and more of us mistakenly define success in financial terms or the fact that many Americans must work multiple jobs simply to earn a living wage and keep their families out of poverty, we are working more and more for money.Regardless of the reasons, workaholism can be a serious condition that can lead to the decline and destruction of families. as well as to serious stress-related health problems . When work becomes the sole reason for being, when it becomes the only thing that truly makes us happy, it is time for intervention. And do not confuse hard work for workaholism. Hard workers know the boundaries between work and personal times and can function normally when not at work, while workaholics have no personal time and can’t function well outside of work.So, are you a workaholic? A workaholic probably would not take the time to enjoy this article.。

Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.First StoryMy husband and I met in high school. During our senior year, we studies biology together. We talked and laughed a lot during class. One Friday, we Joked that we should go on a date that night. At first, I didn't know if he was serious. He didn't know if I was joking. That night I put on a new dress and waited. He had a more difficult time. He had to knock on the door without knowing if I would be ready or not. But he knocked, and I was ready! That was our first date. This year, we celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary'Second StoryMy husband and I met one day at an airport. It was Christmas day. I was picking up my friend Bernd. He was coming from Germany to spend the holidays with my family. While we were waiting for his luggage, I heard a man speaking in Italian. I decided to say something to him because I speak Italian.I said, "Buon Natale" which means, "Merry Christmas!" When I spoke in Italian, he said, "Mama mia! Why do you speak Italian? Who are you?" He asked me for my phone number. He called me the next day, and we dated for a year. Then we got married. So be careful who you talk to in the airport!Third StoryMy wife and I met through our parents. Our parents arranged our marriage. Before we got married, my wife and I wanted to meet. Our parents arranged our first meeting in a restaurant. That night, we talked about ourselves and what we wanted in our lives. We talked for hours. We shared our hopes and dreams. After a while, we decided that our parents were right! And we got married.Fourth StoryMy wife and 1 met through a matchmaker. I'm an engineer, and in my field, most people are men. I couldn't meet any women at work. So one day I saw an advertisement for a matchmaking service, and I decided to call. The matchmaker introduced me to many nice women. I enjoyed meeting them, but I didn't meet anyone I wanted to marry. Finally, she introduced me to my wife. I decided not to date any other women because I liked her very much. We enjoyed the same things, and we laughed a lot together. We also had the same goals and values in life. My wife and I were married six years ago, and now we have two children. I'm glad I picked up the phone and called that matchmaker!Among married couples in the U.S., one finds a wide range of living patterns. Some older couples still have traditional marriages, with the man as breadwinner and the woman as homemaker. But most younger women today are not content to be full-time homemakers. The women's liberation movement, which swept the country in the 1960s, changed attitudes and behavior forever. Today's young American woman wants marriage, but she also wants her own identity. She wants what men have always had—a marriage that is important but still allows time to pursue individual goals. The maJority of American wives, even those with children, work outside the home- As a result, the older idea that housework, cooking, and child care are "women's work" is being discarded. In the contemporary American marriage, the husband and wife share both financial and domestic responsibilities.Sharing money-making and housekeeping responsibilities provides a better life for the family. Of course, problems can develop in the two-income family if the husband expects his working wife to be the perfect homemaker that his stay-at-home mother was- Also, there may be arguments if the wife expects her husband to help with household chores, but he is unwilling to do so. In most families, the working wife probably still handles the largest share of the housework, cooking, and child care. but she gets some help from her husband.The contemporary American marriage is also characterized by a relationship of equality and shared decision making. Most American women today will not tolerate a husband who considers himself the boss. The American girl is given freedom and education equal to a boy's. After completing her education, she is able to get a job and support herself. She does not need to marry for financial security. She is self-sufficient and will not accept a submissive role in marriage. When husband and wife are able to share decision making and respect each other's viewpoints, their marriage is probably closer than those of past generations. When they battle for dominance, they're likely to end up in divorce court.“Ring out the old, ring in the new,” wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the nineteenth-century English poet. And that's exactly what Americans do every December 31. New Year's Eve is a time for noise and fun- At home or in restaurants, most Americans drink and dine with friends- At midnight on New Year's Eve, bells ring, horns blow, and friends toast each other with champagne. It's also customary to exchange kisses. New Year's Eve festivities often continue until two or three o'clock in the morning. Many people travel from one party to another to celebrate with several different groups of friends The country's most crowded New Year's Eve celebration takes place in New York City's Times Square. Since 1907, the famous ball-lowering ceremony has been a holiday highlight. To celebrate the arrival of the year 2000, an estimated 2 million people crowded into Times Square, and hundreds of million viewed the scene on TV The huge, 1,070-pound lighted crystal ball began its descent from a 77-foot flagpole at 11:59 p.m. and reached the bottom at exactly midnight. Simultaneously, confetti, balloons, and fireworks brightened the night sky. It was the biggest public event ever held in the city.What do Americans do on New Year's Day? Many sleep late because they stayed up all night long. Many watch TV which offers spectacular parades and football games between champion college teams. From ancient times to the present. New Year's customs have been connected with saying good-bye to the past and looking forward to a better future. Therefore, New Year's Day often inspires people to start new programs and give up bad habits. Some people make New Year's resolutions. People talk about "turning over a new leaf", referring to a clean, blank page or a fresh start. Typical New Year's resolutions are to spend less money, give up smoking, begin a diet, or be nicer to others. It's safe to assume that about half of them are forgotten by January 31'It was a cool autumn evening. Mrs. Brown was sitting in her living room, reading. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on her door, then two or three more knocks. Mrs. Brown put the safety chain on her door. Then she opened the door a little and looked out. There stood three children wearing masks and costumes. When they saw her, they all shouted, "Trick or treat! Money or eats!"Mrs, Brown dropped a candy bar into each child's bag."Thanks for the candy," shouted the children as they ran off to ring another doorbell-"You're welcome," said Mrs. Brown. "Have fun, and don't play any pranks."Every year on October 31. Halloween scenes like this occur throughout the USA. American children love to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. If an adult refuses to supply a treat—candy, cookies, fruit, or money— the children may play a trick. Typical Halloween pranks are soaping windows, writing on doors with crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep them ringing, throwing raw eggs, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends.Halloween is celebrated by nearly all American children, and over 70% of adults also participate in some Halloween activity. College students and other young adults may attend masquerade parties or Halloween parades. Many families carve pumpkins and decorate the outside of their homes with the traditional Halloween symbols. Businesses get into the act, too. Store windows display jack-o'-lanterns, scarecrows, and witches. Servers in restaurants and salespeople in supermarkets and bookstores are often in costume. Many nightclubs and bars encourage customers to come in costume by offering prizes for the best disguisesUINT 4 PART 31.

Walking is free and easy.The third most common reason is bad weather. "It's raining. It's too hot. It's snowing." Here's a solution. Exercise inside. For example, turn on some music. Dance. Or clean the house. You can go to the shopping mall and walk fast.Fourth, people say they're tired. "I'm too tired to exercise. I'll exercise when I have more energy." But exercise gives you energy. Most people feel too tired because they don't exercise. The solution? Exercise every day. Take a walk. Go for a bike ride. Run around the block. You'll feel great! And you won't feel tired.Finally, some people feel embarrassed. "I feel silly exercising. I don't have a great body." Listen to this solution: Don't feel bad; you should feel great!

国科⼤研究⽣听说教程听⼒原⽂Unit1UNIT 1It’s Nice to Know You!Introductions and Conversation StartersIntroductionIn many situations, American people introduce themselves using their first names, and prefer that others call them by their first names. But British people and older people in either country, may be more formal, preferring to be introduced and called by their title and last name.Often when there is a difference in status or age between two individuals, formal titles and last names are used unless the person of lower status is told to use the first name. For example: M: Hello, my name is Bob Thomas.W: It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Thomas.M: Please, just call me Bob.In informal introductions there is a tendency to reduce status difference by using first names. In more formal situations, the title along with the last name is appropriate. For example, when a student introduces herself to a university professor, she might say: “Hello, Dr. McCarrick. My name is Susan Hall. I would like to ask you about your course.”Answers to the Questions:1.Formal titles and last names are used. For example, Mr., Ms., Dr. and so on.2.The use of first names. For example, Bob, Tom and so on.Discussion Questions:1.How do Chinese people make formal introductions and address people of higher status?2.When speaking Chinese, how do you make informal introductions?3.When meeting and speaking with someone of the same status, would you use formal terms?

I don’t know the language of the country very well, butI am excited about my new opportunity. My new life began today—at a big airport thousands of miles from my hometown. No one met me. I tried to call my new school, but I couldn’t get the public telephone to work. A man spoke to me, but I didn’t understand much. Then he got me a taxi. During the ride to my hotel, I felt like a child. I couldn’t read the signs or talk to the driver. How should I pay for the taxi? How can I get information and help?I’m going to take classes to learn the language of my new country. But how will I get along with the people? Even in my own culture, communication was not always easy, I had a few misunderstandings with strangers, acquaintances, and friends. How will I learn the “rules” of everyday life here? Everything seems so different—even strange.Questions:1.Where was the man from?2.Was he happy to have a new experience in a new country?3.What was the biggest problem that the person met the first day in his new life?4.What worries him most right now?。
