( T )Part Three PassagesPassage OneLyingWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say that we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you and you say," I wish I could help you but I'm short of cash fight now." In fact, you are not short of cash, but because your friend always forgets to pay you back and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, especially when telling a "white lie" that doesn't hurt people. When a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other research shows that men are more likely to tell more serious lies. They tend to make promises and then they forget them. This is the kind of lie businessmen are particularly good at. They hope to make more money from these lies in some way.It has been found that when people lie, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. It seems as if they were saying to themselves "I wish I were somewhere else now." It has also been observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.I, Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. Why don't you lend your friend money according to the passage? ( C )2. In which way are women better liars than men? ( A )3. Why do businessmen tell lies? ( D )4.

Listen to the passage again and complete the following sentences with the information youhear.1. Women are better liars than men, especially when telling a "white lie".2. A "white lie" is a lie that doesn't hurt people.3. Men are more likely to tell more serious lies.4. When people tell lies, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.5. Scientists also have observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.Passage T woA Little Private T reasuryMy wife is good in every way except that she's tight-fisted. Whenever I want to have some pocket money of my own, she would reply: "What do you want money for? For gambling, for dancing or buying presents for somebody?"But to live without money was really hard. Y our old friends or schoolmates came to see you in your office, and you couldn't take them out for a decent dinner. Wasn't this very embarrassing for a big and strong man like me?To help me, my colleagues put into me the idea of a little "private treasury "made up of money I got writing for newspapers.Gradually, I put together some money. I became generous and manly. I was grateful to the little "private treasury".Again my colleagues had advice: "Why don't you try your luck on lottery tickets?" I listened to them and bought three lottery tickets. My luck wasn't bad at all. I won the first prize: 4,000 yuan in cash. When I was asked by my colleagues what I would do with this money, I said: I’ll hand it over to my wife, for family expenses." Some of them thought this was a good idea, while most shook their heads.That night my wife tossed and turned and got no sleep. The following morning she said to me, "I always thought that men could only get into trouble with spare money. Now I realize I was wrong. Y ou must have had a hard time. Please forgive me."From then on, my wife never tried to keep me from spending money, and the little "private treasury" became unnecessary.I.

PassagesPassage OneBlacks in the Revolutionary WarBy the time of the American Revolutionary War, blacks had become a large part of the American population.

Unit 10Task 1【答案】A.1) washing machines, televisions, cars, 1946, unemployment, soldiers, politicians, on television, in films2) 10 percentB.1) The Market Research Society.2) More than 3,000 people were questioned.3) People dress far more casually than they used to.4) In the past "an evening out" for most people mean a visit to the cinema. Today theywould be more likely to go to a restaurant or to a disco.5) The lack of ambition among the middle-aged.C. 1) F 2) T 3) F 4) T 5) F 6) F【原文】Ordinary people in Britain have more washing machines, televisions and cars than in 1946. They also have more fear of unemployment. Whereas once the nation's heroes used to be soldiers or politicians, today they are more likely to be famous faces on televisionor in films, such as Sylvester Stallone.These are just some of the changes discovered in a series of surveys by the Market Research Society. More than 3,000 people were questioned and the results were compared with a similar survey done in 1946. In many cases, t he new survey tells us what we already knew, such as the fact that many people are better off in a material sense and that women spend much less time at the kitchen sink or in the home looking aftertheir families. But we also learn a number of other things. Tastes in clothing and entertainment have changed considerably. People dress far more casually than they used to. And whereas "an evening out" for most people used to mean a visit to the cinema, today it is far more likely to involve going to a restaurant or to a disco. Some things have not changed. People still adore the films of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman even though they are more likely to watch them on television or video. And despite the varietyof foreign food now available, more than a quarter of the people in the survey said they preferred a meal of steak and chips. The only change is that a large number would also like wine with it instead of beer. In 1946 only a small proportion—less than 10 percent—ever drank wine with their meals.One of the most surprising things to come out of the new research is the lack of ambition among the middle-aged. Many executives feel that by the time they are in their mid-forties, they have achieved all their most important goals in life. Most of them said they would prefer to retire in their fifties rather than go on working for a promotion.Task 2【答案】A.Column 1 Column 2 Column 3Dilip Sardesai a shop on the Internet Ohio, USAand his wife AndrijaNicole Pernot a small stationer’s shop near Arras, FranceDave Stirling a Forum hypermarket Newcastle, EnglandB.1) d) 2) c) 3) a) 4) b) 5) c)【原文】For the past eighteen years, Dilip Sardesai and his wife Andrija have run a-east of England.small stationer’s shop in the university city of Newcastle, in the northAs well as selling paper, pens, computer and office equipment, they also offer aphotocopying and fax service. They work long hours to keep the shop going, and bothof their children help them after school. Dilip sees the personal contact he has withhis customers as the most important part of his job. “Many of our customers are from the university”, says Dilip. “We’ve seen generations of students come and go. we liketo offer them the kind of personal service they can’t get in a larger shop. We’too busy to stop and chat about exams, or whatever they want to talk about.”Nicole Pernot is the manageress of a Forum hypermarket, situated 20kilometers from Arras, a town in the north-east of France. Forum has 600 stores infive different countries and plans to expand into Eastern Europe. The hugehypermarket employs over 300 people, and has parking spaces for over 3.000 cars.“People nowadays have busy lives”, says Nikole, “so we try to attract families by offering them a complete shopping experience, including a full restaurant serviceand free entertainment for the children. We try to make it possible for shoppers todo all their weekly shopping in one place. People come here not only for food andhousehold goods, but also clothes, electrical goods, books, CDs…..In fact, we sell everything from peanuts to personal computers!”Five years ago, Dave Stirling had the idea of selling CDs over the Internet. Thebusiness he started from his home in Ohio, USA, now sells 500,000 CDs year and hismade him into a millionaire at the age of twenty-four. “I could see right away that thisandwas the future of shopping”, says Stirling. “Why should you pay $15 for a CD –spend the time and money getting to the store and parking your car, when, by clickingon your computer, you can have the same CD brought to your door for half the cost?we promise to find any CD and deliver it withinAnd of course, there’s the choice –seventy-two hours.” According to Stirling, this is only the beginning. “I believe t one day we will do all our shopping over the Net: It’s easier, quicker and cheaper. Shops and supermarkets will soon be a t hing of the past.”Task 3【答案】A.1)a) One in threeb) doubled, 25 yearsc) increased, 50 percentd) went up, 15 percent, 1980, 19952)a) around half, unmarried parents, a thirdb) births outside marriage3)a) seven, 1970, fiveb) the lowest, 19954)a) the United States, the United Kingdomb) Denmarkc) 10 percent, 1980, 1990B.1) This fall in the birthrate is due in part to the fact that, as more women have careers,they are waiting longer and longer to start a family.2) It is still too early to tell. Because i n some countries these patterns are actuallyreversing.【原文】As the divorce rate rises and fewer couples bother with marriage, we ask if thetraditional nuclear family is becoming a thing of the past.While you are reading this article, somewhere in the United States two couples willget married and another will get divorced. One in three American children now live withonly one parent, and the United States is not alone in this: In Canada and France thedivorce rate has doubled in the last 25 years, and in Hungary and Greece it has increasedby 50 percent. Even in Japan, where the traditional family is still strong, divorce went upby 15 percent between 1980 and 1995.What is more, the nature of the family is changing. In Sweden and Denmark, aroundhalf of all babies are now born to unmarried parents, and in the United Kingdom andFrance more than a third. Even in Ireland, traditionally the most Catholic country inEurope, the rate of births outside marriage is 20 percent.Families are also getting smaller. The average Turkish family had seven members in1970; today it has only five. And in Spain and Italy, where families were alwaystraditionally large, the birthrate was the lowest in the developed world in 1995. This fallin the birthrate is due in part to the fact that, as more women have careers, they arewaiting longer and longer to start a family. The age at which the average woman has herfirst baby is now 28 in Western Europe, and it is getting later.So the nuclear family is clearly changing, but is it in danger of disappearing completely?The truth is that it is still too early to tell. In some countries these patterns areactually reversing. In the United States, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, thebirthrate is rising once more; and in Denmark, for example, marriage is becoming morepopular again. In the United States, the divorce rate in fact fell by 10 percent between1980 and 1990, and it is continuing to fall.Perhaps a new revolution is beginning?Task 4【答案】A. b)B.1) Because younger workers are generally more productive, adaptable and flexible,while older workers tend to lose speed and flexibility. In the future, with constantlychanging technology, it is countries with much younger populations that willsucceed, rather than the major industrial nations like Japan, the USA and Germany.2) According to Angela Seligman, one of the problems is that a relatively small workingpopulation will have to supporta large number of unproductive retired people. And “younger” countries will be morcompetitive in the worldcountries. Another problem is that huge sums will have to bemarket than “elderly” spent on health and welfarefacilities for these old people.【原文】Presenter: In the West old people are living longer and fewer babies are being born.According to Tracy Harris, this is having a drastic effect on the profile ofthe population.Tracy Harris: If we look ahead to the year 2025, we can see that the profile of thepopulation in many countries will be very different from what it is today.In Germany, for example, 41 percent of the population will be over 50compared with the current figures of 2.7 percent. And one in ten peoplewill be over 75 years old, and that will be true in Japan as well. By theyear 2025 in most Western countries one in five people will be over 65.So today's 25 to 40 year-olds are tomorrow's over- sixties.Presenter: Why should this be regarded as a "problem"?Tracy Harris: The major industrial nations like Japan, the USA and Germany will beelderly, whereas countries like Brazil, Korea and Egypt will have muchyounger populations. Now, the point is that younger workers aregenerally more productive, adaptable and flexible. While it is true thatolder workers have acquired skill and judgment, they do tend to losespeed and flexibility. In the future, with constantly changing technology,it's the more adaptable workers who will succeed, and they're morelikely to be the younger ones.Presenter: According to Angela Seligman, there are several problems facing Western countries in the future.Angela Seligman: One of the problems as I see it is that a relatively small workingpopulation will have to support a large number of unproductive retiredpeople. And of course “younger” countries will be more competitive inhugethe world market than “elderly” countries. Another thing is thatsums will have to be spent on health and welfare facilities for these oldpeople.Presenter: So, how can these problems be solved?...Task 5【答案】A.man is slowly changing all the time1) three inches, man will continue to grow taller2) forehead, grow larger, our brains, a physical change3) stronger4) grow weaker, more sensitive5) disappear from the body altogether, it won’t be useful any longera human being, thoughts and emotionsB.1) F 2) T 3) T【原文】What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now?We can only make guesses, o f course, but we can be sure that he will be differentfrom what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorterthan he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundredyears is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue togrow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still makecapacity. As time goes on, however, we shalluse of only about 20% of the brain’shave to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! Thisis likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, willgrow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that veryoften they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period oftime it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as aresult, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will growmore sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether incourse of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then, both sexes are likely to be bald!Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractivecreature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes,future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.Task 6【答案】A.1) d) 2) b) 3) b)B.1) F 2) T 3) T 4) T【原文】It is their ordinariness that makes them interesting. Lisa, Tina and Cheryl are14-year-old schoolgirls who come from families which are neither rich nor poor.Newbury Park, the area they inhabit, is also quite typical.Still too young to go to the pubs and discos, the y outhful trio spends much of its-food outlets.non-school time on this landscape’s streets, or at its various fastTalking to these girls, as they g iggle beneath a lamppost, is not difficult.

What did she think of it? She looks at her friend, and their eyes, insome private permission, meet. “I think,” she says, turning towards her friends,a load of crap.” The other two break into laughter, as if she had said something clever.It is obviously time, before the conversation wanders too far into the comic to getto the heart of things. What do they think life is all about? Is it about pleasure, or is itabout finding something to believe in? Tina and Cheryl look shocked; Lisa looksoffended. Perhaps such questioning is too reminiscent of what issues from thereligious studies teacher.Tina and Cheryl gaze, in appeal, at Lisa.

They used to take TheTimes, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.There is the usual stuff about space: Another mission has returned from Mars andscientists have discovered a new planet. No big deal. There was great excitement back in2027, when signals were received from Titan which indicated that there might be life on aremote moon, but efforts to make contact came to nothing and no aliens have appeared onEarth to say "hello". The Catholic Church has elected a black Pope. Interesting, butreligion does not play a significant role in their lives. Financial news: The Euro has risensharply in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centers. Mary tells the computerto buy 5,000 Euros, and there is instant confirmation that the transaction has been done.Not for the first time she wonders why Europe ever bothered to have so many differentcurrencies.As they watch the screen, Frank and Mary take their usual weight control pills, andorder one of the household robots to make coffee. Frank disappears into the study to joina live video conference with his colleagues around the world. He is a computer programmer, working for several companies on a contract basis. This is his third career: He used to be in marketing and then television.Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels—the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers—before picking up the video phone to talk to a colleague. She also has a job, which she shares with several others. They are doing research into genetic engineering, which has become a major industry. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2014 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.Frank and Mary have one child, Louise, who also has her own workstation in the family home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other children. Classrooms vanished in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: Interactive communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is currently studying Chinese, which has become as important as English as a world language. Louise has many Chinese friends with whom she communicates by computer.According to medical experts, Louise will live to at least 130. She intends to workfor a few decades and then devote her time to music and painting. Louise has given little thought to marriage, which she regards as an old-fashioned concept, and she is not sure whether she will ever want to have a child. She likes the idea of a serious relationship,and thinks there will probably be several during her lifetime, but why should she tie herself down to one person?Task 8【原文】In many countries the status of women has improved considerably over the last 50 years. Although there are still relatively few women in senior business positions, many women pursue their careers in much the same way that men do. In the UK,men's behavior towards women has had to change. For example, men must be careful when they talk about a woman's appearance; some women may find a complimentary remark sexist. Many women prefer not to be referred to as "ladies"; they prefer themore neutral "women". Many women are naturally sensitive about typically male jokes. There are areas of social interaction where men now feel uncertain how to behave. Twenty years ago would always open doors for women; nowadays some women might find this action patronizing.。

Listening SkillsHow to Overcome Fears of FlyingIf you are afraid of flying, there are specialists who can teach you how to deal with your fears and finally get rid of them.They will find out if a nearby airport has special training programs for people who are afraid to fly. Many airports do. How would such a program work?First, a specialist will take your group to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. A representative from one of the airlines will explain how an airplane flies. Then your group will sit in an airplane that stays on the ground. At a later time, you will go up in a plane for a short flight and then land. Gradually the time you spend in the air will increase. When you are prepares for it, the group will take a trip to another city.III. Listening InTask 1: Fear of HeightsTony: Hey, Mary, some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend.

I had a fear of water when I was young. That fear kept me away from water. That was because once I was pushed into the swimming pool by a classmate when I was eight and first arrived in Australia from Vietnam. That experience was horrible. I was down at the deep end, struggling, and I thought I was going to drown. It was a big fear. The next thing that happened was my teacher, dressed in full clothes, jumped in, and rescued me. Then I started to like that teacher who happened to be my English teacher. My English was broken as English was my second language. I didn’t want to learn English or speak English. Then I changed. I find it to be an amazing experience. Now my fearOf water has gone. I just actually love water now, and I’m interested in English as well. I’m aBit more, let’s say, a bit more confident in speaking English now, I think. I’m no longer worried about my broken English. I don’t care if people laugh. I just find it fun to speak English. And I don’t feel ashamed of myself when other people correct the mistakes in my English.1.C) Vietnam2. D) All of the above.3.

Well, it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents. One evening I had to prepare myself for an examination at school. I was working in the basement atmy table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house besides me. What could I do? I was terribly frightened because I knew that it must a burglar. We had the windows open to air the room, so it must be burglar. What could I do? I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard, so I decide to take the toy gun and go upstairs. Well, I took the toy gun, went out of my room, and shouted as if there was another person, “ George, take the dog and go outside.” On my way upstairs, I turned on lights. The burglar must have heard me, and he rushed out of the window the way he came in.Well, I was relieved, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I wasn’t able to dial the number.Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceHelen is telling us about her horrible experience. One evening she was preparing for her examination in the basement of her house. Her parents had gone out shopping. Suddenly she heard footsteps on the floor above. Knowing that she should be the only person at home, she was scared almost out of her wits. Obviously, a burglar had come in through the window that was left open for fresh air. Plucking up her courage, Helen took a toy gun from the cupboard and went upstairs. On the way she shouted, “ George, take the dog out.” Also to frighten the thief, she turned on some lights. The burglar must have heard all the noise and rushed out of the window where he got on. Now Helen felt somewhat relieved. She tried to phone her parents, but her trembling hand was simply unable to dial the number.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: I hate flying.Dave: Sue, I haven’t seen you for a while.

He shouted at the officer, “Are there any alligators around here?”“No,” the man shouted back, “they haven’t been around for years!” Feeling greatly relieved, the tourist started swimming lazily toward the shore.”About halfway there he asked the coast guard, just out of curiosity, “How did you get rid of the alligators?”“We didn’t do anything,” the officer answered. “Wow, how lucky I am,” said the tourist.

初三英语unⅰt10听力英文回答：I really enjoy listening to music, especially when I'm studying or doing chores around the house. Music helps me relax and focus on what I'm doing. One of my favorite genres is pop music because it has catchy tunes and upbeat rhythms that keep me energized. For example, when I'm cleaning my room, I like to listen to Taylor Swift's songs because they make me feel motivated and productive.I also like listening to classical music when I want to unwind and de-stress. The soothing melodies and calming tones help me forget about any worries or problems I may have. For instance, when I'm feeling anxious before a big test, I'll put on some classical music like Beethoven or Mozart to help me calm down and concentrate.In addition, I enjoy discovering new music from different cultures and languages. It's fascinating toexplore the diverse sounds and rhythms from around the world. For example, I recently discovered K-pop and fell in love with the catchy beats and colorful music videos.Overall, music plays a big role in my life and helps me in various situations. Whether I need motivation, relaxation, or just want to explore new sounds, music is always there for me.中文回答：我非常喜欢听音乐，特别是在我学习或做家务的时候。

英语听力教程(第2册)Unit 10 听力原文
Unit 10 听力原文Part IBNo. 1Woman: OK, you get the first question. Do more people enjoy classical, country and western, or rock music?Man: Gee, ul ... rock, I guess.Woman: No, actually more people like country and western. Fifty-nine percent like country music. Only forty-four percent say they like rock.Man: Fifty-nine percent like country? I’m surprised. How about classical?Woman: That was only forty percent.Man: Wait! That’s more than a hundred percent.Woman: Yeah, but the question asked if they like the music. You can like more than one type. Man: Oh, I guess so.No. 2First Man: I get the next question.Second Man: Why do most people listen to the radio, for news or for entertainment?First Man: I listen for the news, so I’ll guess that.Second Man: You’re right. Ninety-two percent listen to the radio for the news. Only eighty-eight percent listen for enjoyment.No. 3Man: My question.Woman: OK. What type of magazines do more people read, TV guides or news magazines? Man: News magazines? All of them?Woman: Yeah. Time, Newsweek ... all of them.Man: I guess I’d say ... TV guides.Woman: You’re right. TV guides sell about 17 million copies a week. The news magazines only sell 10 million.Man: Maybe people are watching the news on TV.No. 4First Woman: OK, your turn. Which sport is more popular, swimming or jogging?Second Woman: Jogging? It’s easier to do.First Woman: No, more people like swimming. About seventeen percent.Second Woman: Seventy?First Woman: No, seventeen. One-seven. But only about thirteen percent go running.No. 5Woman: Here’s the last question. Which is true of more people: they never exercise in their free time, or they like to be active?Man: People who never exercise or who like to be active? I don’t know. I’d guess more people never exercise.Woman: Wrong. Only twenty-five percent say they never exercise. Forty percent say they’d rather be active during their free time.Man: Really? ... More people like to be active. Huh. I wouldn’t have guessed. Hey, Jim, can you bring me another soda?.CInterview: Do you go away for your summer holidays at all?Man: Yes, yes I do.Interview: Oh, where?Man: Yes, usually abroad.Interview: Whereabouts did you go last year?Man: Last year um... Majorca actually...Interview: How long did you go for?Man: A fortnight...Interview: ... and you enjoyed it?Man: Yes, very much so. We went to, er, to the northern part of the island and it was very pleasant. Interview: Nice to get some sunny weather...Man: Yes, very hot actually, very, very hot.Interview: Where do you think you’re going this year?Man: This year...um...I’m going to wait actually book later in the spring and decide at fairly short notice.Interview: What usually governs where you go, what kind of thing?Man: ually my fiancée likes to fly off somewhere, so that’s er... one of the criteria, so it equates with going abroad, er... so that’s the main thing I think, so it’ll probably be abroad again this year somewhere in Europe.Interview: And, er, what about the exchange rates at the moment, the pound’s not very good value overseas, does that – will that bother you at all?Man: Not really er... I think the fluctuations are relatively so small that if you’re going to have a holiday you’ll probably go regardless.Interview: And, um, does anything else govern your choice of holiday apart from all that...? Man: Oh...um...the ultimate cost obviously, I noticed this year looking through brochures that holiday have gone up, but I’m sure it won’t put us ff today.Interview: (Laughs) You feel you deserve a holiday, do you...?Man: That’s right, absolutely. (Laughs)Part II What’s on the box?Sue: ... and if we hear any further news we’ll let you know right away. Well, now it’s time for our regular look at this evening’s viewing and here’s Patrick Lloyd, television critic of the Daily Mail. Hello, Patrick.Patrick: Hello, Sue.Sue: Patrick, what’s worth watching this evening?Patrick: Well, Sue, it’s a very good night on all four channels and I think my first recommendation would be the documentary on ITV at 8:30. It’s an amazing film about the history and growth of the British Secret Service, MI5. Now it’s the first time many of the facts have been made public and it’s about the growth of what was originally called Military Intelligence Department 5 into the UK equivalent of the CIA or KGB.Sue: Mmm, sounds well worth ... watching.Patrick: Now, after that and still on ITV at 9:30 there’s another documentary. In ―World in Action‖there’s an investigation of multinational industries and this one concentrates on the food and drink industries. I wonder, Sue, did you know for example the Heinz Foods are the owners ofWeightwatchers International?Sue: No, really?Patrick: Over on Channel 4 at 7:00 ―Watch Your Step‖. Two teams of university teachers and students have to survive for 24 hours in the North of Scotland and they’ve got to solve various problems to reach their goal. They don’t get any help and they have to do things like find clues, solve puzzles, work out how to cross rivers, how to climb cliffs, make a fire, cook food. Sounds a bit daft but it really is an exciting program that makes you, the viewer, think too. Well worth seeing.Sue: Ha ha, rather them than me! Now, anything for sports fans?Patrick: Yes, football on BBC 1 at 7:50 — that’s live coverage of England Vs Brazil and tennis on BBC 2 at 10 with the best of today’s play from Winbledon.Sue: And what about films?Patrick: Ah, lots of good films on tonight, Sue. My pick of the bunch would be ―High Plains Drifter‖ starring Clint Eastwood. It’s not just another one of those violent westerns and ... um ... in fact it’s a really remarkable film. A kind of allegory of the battle between good and evil. The photography is superb and although the film wasn’t really appreciated when it was first released in 1972, it’s well worth seeing on the small screen. And this is on ITV at 10:30.Sue: All right. Thanks very much,Patrick.Patrick: Now, hold on, just one more thing I ought to mention and that’s the television production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet on Channel 4 at 9. It’s got a cast of little-known actors and it’s got subtitles.Sue: Subtitles?Patrick: Yes, that’s right. Channel 4 have taken the bold step of putting subtitles on the screen in modern English. It may sound strange, even ... even perhaps distracting, but believe me, it works remarkably well. After all, the English language has changed quite a bit in the last 400 years. Sue: All right, thanks very much, Patrick.Patrick: Not at all.Sue: That sounds as though it’s worth staying in for tonight. And now let’s hear from Ian Duncan at the sports desk ...Part III Tourist informationWoman: Welcome to What’s On, a special guide to entertainment and events in London this Friday, produced by the British Tourist Authority. London has a lot to offer in terms of exhibitions. At the Hayward Gallery, you can see works by the famous English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens.

There’s a game called ―Hunt the thimble‖, where one person goes out of the room, and then so... um... somebody else hides a thimble, and the person has to come in and look for it. Um, and once they’ve found it, they just have to choose a different person. And it can be really anywhere you hide the thing, as long as it’s in one room.B. There’s this party game called ―Eat the chocolate‖. And everyone sits down in a circle, and there’s a dice, and in the middle of the circle ther’s a plate with a piece of chocolate, quite a large piece. And...um...there’s a hat, pair of gloves, a scarf and a jacket which are placed in the middle of the circle as well. And each person gets a turn at throwing the dice. And if they get a six, they get dressed up in the hat, gloves, scarf and jacket, and they get to eat the chocolate, but they have to use a knife and fork. And sometimes they don’t get enough time because the next person throws a six.C. Well, everyone sits in a circle, and a bowl of eggs is put in the middle. Now half of these eggs are raw, and half of them are hard-boiled. And one by one everybody stands up and they have to crack this egg on their head very hard. And of course if it’s raw it’ll go all over them, but if it’s hard-boiled then they’ll be fine and they just sit back down. If you don’t like getting messy, of course, then you can wear a towel round your shoulders and a bath cap on your head to keep your hair from getting all wet.D. Well, you get in partners, and you have...er ... two or one roll of toilet paper to each partner, and then you have a certain amount of time. And then everyone wraps one person up in toilet paper. And the first person that gets it all done, they win, and the neatest person. But if it’s not neat thenthey don’t win and it’s the second person down.Part V Memory test: Entertainment AnnouncementsCINEMA ANNOUNCEMENTThis is the ABC Whiteladies Cinema with recorded program details.

You can't be afraid of the friendly snakes,(can you)?Laura: Well, if we encounter any snakes, friendly (or not), you'll see (how loud) I can (scream).ScriptNot everyone loves to fly. Not everyone believes that humankind should keep birds company and fly in an aircraft. There are several things a person flying by air can do to make the flight a bit more comfortable and quicken the happy ending and safe landing.First, get to know your neighbors: Introduce yourself to your seat mates or those across the aisle from you. A simple extended hand and a "Hi, my name is Laura, and I hate to fly." will break the ice nicely. If you are lucky enough to be seated next to someone with a sense of humor, you can talk to him/her. Humorous talk may easily lessen your fear. If your neighbor is also afraid of flying, then sharing your fears with another person often makes them less serious.Second, relax yourself one way or another. For example, you can bring an MP3 player with you and fill your ears and mind with your favorite music. This will help create a private little world of your own and will reduce the boring noise from the plane's engines.Third, keep your mind busy. Do a crossword puzzle, preferably a difficult one. This can engage your mind, and you won't think about the altitude at which you are sitting.。
