全新版大学英语听说教程第三册听力原文及答案Unit 1Part BText 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.'The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you loveher and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening. 'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Exercise 2: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. T 5. FQuestions:1.It can be inferred that the speaker’s mother often took him out todinner when he was small.2.The mother has poor eyesight now.3.On their first date the speaker took his mother out to dinner and amovie.4.The speaker’s parents worked in the same factory during the SecondWorld War.5.The speaker and his mother now meet once every month.Part CConversation 1:W: You know, many American parents are now wondering why they can't keep their teenage children from drinking.M: I'm aware of that. To my mind, it's the permissive attitude of the parents that is to blame.Q: What can you learn from the man's response?Conversation 2:M: Don't you think it's good to give our children a monthly allowance? W: I think so. It can teach them the value of money. With a monthly allowance they can learn to budget their expenses wisely.Q: What are they talking about?Conversation 3:M: Mom, I've got a part-time job at a supermarket. Three hours a day weekdays and all day Saturday.W: Congratulations, Tom. But are you sure you can handle it? What about your homework and your piano lessons?Q: How does the mother feel about Tom's part-time job at the supermarket? Conversation 4:M: Hey, Mary. You look so upset. What happened?W: My father had an accident the other day. He is now in hospital and will have an operation tomorrow. You see, his heart is rather weak. I really don't know whether he can survive it.Q: What's the woman worried about?Conversation 5:W : Mother's Day is coming soon. Could you tell me what sons and daughters do in your country on that day?M: Well, they send their mothers flowers and cards to celebrate theoccasion. Besides, it is a common practice for them to wear pink carnations on that day.Q: Which of the following is true of the customs of Mother's Day in the man's country?1. b2. c3. b4. d5. dPart DMy First JobMy parents ran a small restaurant. It was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.Statements:1. The speaker had more than one responsibility at his parents' restaurant.2. The speaker's parents kept their business open around the clock.3. It can be inferred that the speaker's family lived in the United States.4. It seems that the speaker's father was very strict with him but quite kind to his friends.5. The father finally agreed to pay his child for his work but would deduct the cost of his meals.6. This story shows that the speaker has very unhappy memories of his childhood.Unit 2Part BText1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down wasfor the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidenceText2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter wasaddressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. F 5. F Statements:1. Several coincidences happened in the story.2. The coincidences made it possible for the owner to sell his house ata good price.3. No one actually benefited from the coincidences.4. It can be inferred that Mr. Stewart did not have to seek extra work from then on.5. With the extra money Mr. Stewart had earned, Andrew's dream finally came true.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Part CDad Stops for Gas, Finds Lost SonNueng Garcia was the son of an American serviceman stationed in Thailand in 1969. But his father went back to the States when Nueng was only three months old. When he grew up Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado. His dream was to find his father John Garcia. Year after year, he tried in vain to search for information about the whereabouts of his father.It was a fine day in Pueblo. There was not a cloud in the blue sky. But for him, it was just another day on the job. Suddenly he noticed the name of one customer who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and looked at the man. Could this be his father?"Are you John Garcia?" he asked."Yes," came the answer."Were you ever in the Air Force?""Yes.""Were you ever in Thailand?""What's that to do with you?" answered the man, who became suspicious by then."Were you or were you not?" Nueng persisted."Yes.""Did you ever have a son?"At this truth dawned on the man. They stared at each other and realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.John Garcia hadn't seen his son since 1969. He lost touch with Nueng's mother when she started seeing another man. He moved to Pueblo nine years ago. He said he never went to that gas station, wasn't even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check.Exercise: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. T 7. F 8. T Statements:1. Nueng's parents divorced when he was only 3 months old.2. After moving to the U.S.A., Nueng worked at a gas station in Colorado.3. Nueng never gave up his efforts to find his father, but John Garcia had never looked for his son.4. One day while at work Nueng's eyes fell on the photo of a customer's driver's license, and the man in the photo looked like his father.5. John Garcia was once in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Thailand.6. John Garcia and his son didn't meet each other again until 1996.7. Nueng's father said he often went to that gas station but never paid with a check.8. It was by coincidence that John Garcia and his son were reunited aftermany years of separation.Part DUnexplained ParallelsOne of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater; Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents, with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota. They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a bracelet on the other. They married on the same day, had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise. In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.How can we explain the above similarities?Exercise:1)Shot, Friday, wives2)Succeeded, Johnson3)killers, brought, justice4)secretaries5)Ford theater, Lincoln6)Died, accidents7)trucks, same road8)met, 34, seven rings, wrist, watch9)Married, wedding dresses, same flowers10) similar, children11) cat, TigerStatements:1. Both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were killed by a Southerner.2. John F. Kennedy's secretary was named after Abraham Lincoln.3. The news story told about the traffic accidents that killed two twin brothers.4. It can be inferred from the passage that more parallel phenomena are studied in the United States than in any other country.5. Coincidences occurring in three nations are described in the passage.6. Some psychologists' interest is the research on coincidences between twins.7. According to the speaker, coincidences occur much more often between twins than between people who are not related.8. The speaker does not mention his/her own opinion on whether these parallels can be explained.Unit 3Part BText 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.)John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk aboutwhat they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation?Exercise 2:1. Because she wanted to understand each other's expectations so that potential problems could be avoided and they could live happily together.2. Cleaning up. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping. Time for bed: 11pm; time to get up: 6:30am except on weekends.Text 2A Marriage Agreement (Part Two)John: Linda, do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing?Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize. John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.Tom & Linda: Thank you.Exercise 1: 1. F 2.F 3.T 4.TStatements:1. Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects.2. Once Tom broke Article 14 and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner.3. If some of the rules in the marriage agreement become outdated, changes will be made to update them.4. It seems that both Tom and Linda are satisfied with their marriage agreement.Exercise 2:1. One rule says that if they get lost for more than five minutes when they are driving, they must stop and ask for directions.2. Once Tom and Linda got lost when they were driving to a friend's wedding.3. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask the way, but Tom thought he could figure it out.4. As a result, they were late for the wedding because they went in the wrong direction for forty miles.Part CA Perfect MatchAre you looking for a good relationship with someone special? What type of person is the best person for you? Is it the person with the highest IQ? Is it the most beautiful or most handsome person? How about the richest person or the most ambitious? Is your ideal partner the most traditional or the most modern person? Is he or she the person most like you, or most unlike you?The answer, psychologists say, is none of the above. Why? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear. Most people are happy with moderation -- with partners who are not the most or the best (or the least or the worst). People are more comfortable with partnerswho are not so special.The research showed several other important things. In a love relationship, two things can cause trouble. First, trouble happens when both people get angry quickly. This is not surprising. Second, trouble happens when people don't expect to change themselves in a relationship. Do you stay calm when you disagree with someone? Are you ready to change yourself? If you can tolerate disagreement and are willing to change, maybe you are ready for a serious relationship.Exercise:1. ...not so special/not extremes2. a. ...get angry quicklyb. ...change themselves...Statements: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. T 6. T1. The passage implies that the perfect match for you is a person who is most unlike you.2. The author argues that the most beautiful or most handsome person may not be your perfect partner.3. Moderate person, that is, the partners who are not the most or the best can be your perfect match.4. The research showed that an extreme love relationship between the two can cause trouble.5. The passage states that the anger is one of the causes that lead to the breakup of a love relationship.6. The perfect match lies in the people's attitudes to tolerate disagreement and be willing to change in a relationship.Part DHusbands and Wives Don't See Things AlikeLet's face it -- husbands and wives just don't see things alike. Take TV remote controls, for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks."It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching."This talk show host makes me so angry!" she cried one evening. "Then why don't you change the channel?" I asked."Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels." Differences. No right or wrong, just differences."The first law of civilization," said an old philosopher, "is to let people be different."I don't need to convert my wife to my ways, and she doesn't try to make me be like her. We simply take turns monitoring the remote control.Exercise:1.He frequently changes channels.2.No. It makes her very angry.3.She sticks to one channel even if she doesn’t like it.4.They take turns monitoring the remote control.5.How everything is going on in the neighborhood and among all theirrelatives.6.No. Because, as one philosopher puts it, “The first law ofcivilization is to let people be different.”Statements:1. The major difference between the speaker and his wife is their TV viewing habits.2. According to the speaker, he is more interested in talk shows while his wife is more interested in news programs.3. The wife seems to be more weird than the husband is.4. The speaker and his wife usually take turns working the remote control when they watch television.5. It can be inferred that women are generally more tolerant than men of their spouse's differences.6. The speaker and his wife maintain peace not by changing each other but by tolerance.Unit 4Part BText 1Being a Police Officer Is a Stressful JobInterviewer: Welcome to our program, Sam.Sam: Thank you.Interviewer: Sam, how long have you been a police officer?Sam: I've been a police officer for thirty years.Interviewer: Thirty years. And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment.Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.Interviewer: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.Interviewer: Really?Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.Sam: All right.Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. What's the relationship between the two speakers?2. What does Sam mainly talk about?3. What do you know about Sam?Exercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends on the assignment one has. In his opinion the biggest pert of the stress is the fear of the unknown and patrol is the most stressful assignment.Text 2Stress Reducers。

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案Unit 1Text 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.'The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening. 'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage. Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Ex. 2 1. took// out to dinner// neighborhood2. nicer than he expected.3. A couple of times.4. the importance of slowing down//his marriageUnit 2Text1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded andthe owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidenceText2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it,two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise1：1.The house was decorated exactly the same as Mr. Stewart rememberedit2.Mr. Stewart happened to be in the house when a postman came to delivera letter to his father-in-law who had died 15 years ago.3.The old postman had called in sick that day, and the postman who camein his place was not familiar with the neighborhood. Other wise the letter would have been returned to its sender.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Unit 3Text 1Krimali (Part One)On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, Krimali, a girl of 17, had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn't quite right about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but wereunable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn't know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Exercise 1: Ex 1 1-2 c c Ex 2 1-8 T F F F F T T FText 2Krimali ( Part Two)Krimali planned to rescue her family first, but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby."Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!"The woman refused. Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman's face. "I'll be back!" Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby's mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved. Exercise 1:Questions :1-2 d bExercise 2:1. Because she was afraid Krimali might not be able to catch her.2. Because she thought the bed sheets could somehow protect the baby from being hurt if she failed to catch her.3. Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. To make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Unit 4Text 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.)John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation?Exercise 2:1. Because she wanted to understand each other's expectations so that potential problems could be avoided and they could live happily together.2. Cleaning up. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping. Time for bed: 11pm; time to get up: 6:30am except on weekends. Text 2A Marriage Agreement (Part Two)John: Linda, do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing?Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize. John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.Tom & Linda: Thank you.Ex. 1 1-3 c c aEx. 21.get lost// five minutes // driving // stop // directions2.breaking rules // break a rule // apologize and do something nice forthe other person to make it up3.reviewing the contents of the agreement // review this agreement oncea year // make necessary changesPart BText 1AshleyAshley was reading a magazine when she came across an article about antibiotics and other drugs discovered in European rivers and tap water. If such drugs were present there, she reasoned, they might also be found near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms, which can kill untold numbers of people.The girl, then 16, began testing her area's river -- the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio and its tributaries over ten weeks. Reading scientific journals, she taught herself to analyze the samples. It was the most scientifically sound project for someone her age.Her experiment, one of the first of its kind in the United States, showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She received a $5,000 scholarship and an audience with Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science was sparked by walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff -- how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. "Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has won $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. "I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done," she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize.Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

By now just about everybody has heard the "Not for Sale" commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies. What many peopledon't know is that teenagers from West New York and across New Jersey worked on various aspects of the campaign, and even appeared in some of the advertisements. The campaign organizer thought it would be better than using actors if actual REBEL members were in the commercials.REBEL, which stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies, is a statewide youth initiative against tobacco companies. The movement, which began in November last year, carries the message that teens no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. Knowing that peer pressure on teens to smoke or do drugs is one of the biggest problems that teens face, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New York swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group."We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie, one of its founding members. "But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now."Exercise 1:1. Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies2. They launched an advertising campaign to call on youth to fight against tobacco companies by starting the "Not fro Sale" commercial on television and radio.3. They intend to spread the message that teenagers no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements.Exercise 2: 1. c 2.a 3.c 4.c 5.bQuestions:1. When did REBEL launch their advertising campaign?2. How many members did REBEL have by the summer of 2001?3. Who are the members of REBEL?4. What did REBEL do for their campaign against tobacco companies?5. What did REBEL do recently?Unit 6Text 1Being a Police Officer Is a Stressful JobInterviewer: Welcome to our program, Sam.Sam: Thank you.Interviewer: Sam, how long have you been a police officer?Sam: I've been a police officer for thirty years.Interviewer: Thirty years. And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment.Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.Interviewer: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.Interviewer: Really?Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.Sam: All right.Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. What's the relationship between the two speakers?2. What does Sam mainly talk about?3. What do you know about Sam?Exercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends on the assignment one has. In his opinion the biggest pert of the stress is the fear of the unknown and patrol is the most stressful assignment.Text 2Stress ReducersInterviewer: Sam, you've talked about the police officers' stressful time. Now let's move on to the next topic. So far as I know, there's a connectionbetween stress and illness. Do you think that there's a higher percentage of illness among police officers than in the general population? I mean, do they get more colds or anything? Is this really true?Sam: Yes, it is, and the stress level not only manifests itself in daily health -- whether or not you've feeling well on any given day. It also manifests itself in things like ulcers, heart disease -- police officers tend to have a higher rate of heart disease and ulcers than people in other professions.Interviewer: Really? That's documented?Sam: Yes, it's documented. And also the divorce rate among police officers is much higher.Interviewer: Is there something that the police department does to help you deal with this stress?Sam: Yes, there are several programs that most police departments have in place. One is an exercise program where some part of your day is spent on some type of physical exercise. They've found that's a great stress reducer. Besides, there's also a psychological program with counseling for officers to help them reduce their stress. And there are several discussion groups as well. They've found that sometimes just sitting around and talking about the stress with other officers helps to reduce it. So, those things are available.Interviewer: And what do you do, personally, to help you deal with the stress of your job, Sam?Sam: Well, during the baseball season, I'm the biggest baseball fanatic, and I will either be reading about baseball, or listening to baseball, or watching baseball. Another thing I try to do is to get some sort of exercise every day. And then I work hard at keeping up my personal relationships, especially my relationship with my wife. Fortunately I get along very well with my wife. When I come back home, I can talk about my day with her, and then just forget about it.Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. T Statements:1. The dialogue is mainly about how police officers can deal with stress.2. According to Sam, most police officers enjoy good health.3. According to Sam, the divorce rate among police officers is higher than among people in other jobs.4. Counseling is the most effective program to help police officers relieve stress.5. Sam knows how to reduce his stress.Exercise 2:1. ... One is an exercise program, another is a psychological program with counseling for officers. And there are several discussion groups as well for officers to sit down and talk about their stress with other officers.2. 2)...He tries to get some sort of exercise every day.3)...his personal relationships, especially his relationships with his wife.Unit 7 The Business WorldKenneth: Hello, my name is Kenneth Johnson. I have an appointment with Mr. Andrew Song.Laura: Oh hello, Mr. Johnson, I'm Laura Lee. We've spoken on the phone a couple of times. Nice to meet you.Kenneth: It's nice to be here.Laura: Oh — let me take your coat.Kenneth: Thanks.Laura: Let me get you a drink, Mr. Johnson.Kenneth: Yes, I'd like a cup of tea, if possible, thanks.Laura: Sure.

Oh — one other thing. I need to send some flowers to my wife. Today is the fifth anniversary of our marriage. I think some flowers from your beautiful city would be rather appropriate, don't you? Laura: Oh, sure! Right, I'll get you a number of a florist. I expect you'll want to send a special message with the flowers.Kenneth: Yes, I'll think of one.Laura: Oh, here's Mr. Song. Andrew, this is Mr. Johnson. He's just arrived. Andrew: Hello, Mr. Johnson. Pleased to meet you and welcome here. Kenneth: Thanks.Andrew: Now shall we go inside and let me explain the program to you? Kenneth: Sure.Andrew: I think we've sent you an outline for the day — if you agree, we could start with a video which explains some of our services and then we could have a look at a few reports on campaigns.。

D 2. CExercise 2:Leaves are Nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.Passage 2Exercise 1: 1. C 2. BExercise 2:1. They are leaf pigments, length of night, and weather.2.

According to the former, the universe has always existed and will exist forever. If this view were correct, the universe should have looked the same millions of years ago as it looks now. but astronomers have found that the old universe did not look the same as it does now. therefore, the steady state theory does not seem to be correct.The big bang theory states that the universe began in a massive explosion at a single point in space about 15 million years ago. If the statement were right, there should exist in the universe the cosmic background radiation from the explosion. Researchers have found evidence for its existence. In the 1960s, while studying radio signals from the Milky W ay. researchers at Bell Labs found their work experiencing interference from every direction. They discovered that the interference turned out to be the cosmic background radiation .

Tapescript of Test 1Part ADirections: You’re going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be read only once. Listen carefully and choose the right answer to each question you hear. (8 points)Conversation 1:M: Your son Peter certainly shows a lot of enthusiasm for action movies.I wonder how he can afford the time.W: Me too. I only wish he’d show as much in his stud ies.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Conversation 2M: You've spent too much time doing coursework, Sally. Don't you think you should go out and get some fresh air? W: Thanks for the advice. But this is how I relieve my stress. I'd rather not get too far behind.Q: What can you infer from the woman's response?Conversation 3:M: I'm having trouble making ends meet. It looks like I have to make another phone call to my parents.W: I don't think it would be a problem if you cut down on the discs you buy.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 4:W: I hope you enjoyed the movie last night. I wasn't sure I would.M: I wasn't either, but once it started, I simply got glued to the screen.Q: What can you learn from the conversation?Conversation 5:M: Congratulations! I heard your debating team has reached the final.W: Yes, we're all excited about it. Now we're working hard to get well-prepared.Q: What will the woman's team probably do?Conversation 6:W: Bill is a great guy. He nearly got killed when he tried to rescue an old lady from a fire yesterday.M: Well, I’m not surprised. I know that’s not the first dangerous situation he’s been in.Q: Which of the following adjectives best describes Bill?Conversation 7:M: What kind of father am I? My daughter is sick. She has had a fever for a couple of days. But I didn't even know about it.W: Don't blame yourself too much. You've been too much involved in the company's work to notice it, I guess. You really should take some time off.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Conversation 8:M: Is Mary still in a critical condition?W: I'm afraid so, but we've kept the news from her mother.Q: What do we know about Mary's mother?Part DDirections: You’ll hear two conversations. Each will be read once. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (7 points)Conversation 1:W: What are you giving Julie for Valentine’s Day?M: Oh, i s it that time of the year already? I’d completely forgotten about it.W: If you want to keep your wife happy, you should never forget important days like her birthday, your wedding anniversar y, or Valentine’s day.M: It’s so hard for me. Julie has never let me forget that I missed our anniversary last month.W: Little things like that mean a lot to women.M: Well, do you have any good ideas for a gift?W: I always like a box of chocolates.M: Julie likes chocolates of course, b ut she is trying to lose some weight. I probably shouldn’t do anyt hing to make it hard for her.W: How about flowers? Tha t’s something everyone likes.M: Yes, flowers are nice. I am wondering if it should be something a little more special to make up for my blunder last month.W: Jewelry is always good.M: I think you’ve got it. I believe Julie has be en hinting that she’d like a string of pearls. Every time we go shopping she stops at the jewelry counter to look at pearls. I think it would make her happy just to see that I have been little observant.W: Well, there’s that problem solved. Try not to wa it until the last minute. It’s easier to shop when you don’t feel pressured.M: Good advice. It’s a really lucky thing to have a friend like you.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.9. Who is Julie?10. Which of the following is true of the man?11. What will the man’s wife receive for this year’s Valentine’s Day?12. What can you learn from the conversation?Conversation 1:M: Mary, what’s your opinion about opening our own business after transferring from the army? I don’t want to wait for the government to assign me a job.W: What did you say? Are you out of your mind?M: I’m serious. You see, the government is calling on us to create opportunities for ourselves. Besides, I’ve gained much knowledge and experience being in the army. I’m sure I can run my own business successfully.W: That’s not the way I see it. Opening a business mean that you would no longer have fixed salary. What shall we live on?M: Oh, come on. As the saying goes, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” I’m sure we be able to support ourselves by means of hard work.W: I guess we just can’t see eye to eye on this.M: I guess not.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.13. What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?14. What can we learn from the conversation?15. What can we infer from the conversation?Directions: Listen to the passage three times and fill in the blanks with the missing words. (10 points)Did you know that one out of every ten people in the world are left-handed? And did you also know that in many countries left-handedness is still thought of as being wrong? In India, for example, you shouldn’t eat with your left hand.Even at the beginning of the 20th century left-handedness was considered to be a sign of weakness. 16)Researchers used to try and prove that left-handed people were more likely to commit 17)murder, or have reading problems than right-handed people.18)Fortunately, not all cultures think like this. In China both sides are needed for 19)harmony.Left-handedness can in fact be an 20)advantage in sport. Many left-handed 21)boxers and tennis players have achieved outstanding success. This is partly because of the element of surprise the left hand can offer and partly because left-handed people’s 22)brains work quicker.Nevertheless, this is still a right-handed people’s world. Ands this can be clearly seen when you’re buying everyday things like scissors or golf clubs. 23)Even the most ordinary household iterms such as irons or can-openers are designed for right-handed people.But, here’s some good news for all left-handed people. There is a shop in London which sells goods especially for left-handed people. It’s called Anything Left-handed.There 24)you can buy anything from left-handed pocket calculators to knives and coffee mugs. In fact you can even buy watches for the left hand which work anti-clockwise. 25)People who buy things from the shop say it just makes their everyday life much easier.Part DDirections: You’ll hear three passages. Each will be read only once. Choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (10 points)Passage 1Many people suffer from some form of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for almost no reason. Others go around in a state of continual uneasiness. How can anxiety be controlled? One way is for patients to take drugs which help manage their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are able to work, to sleep and to go to places they feared to visit before. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system, have not been known for a long time.Scientists have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the costs and benefits of the anti-anxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of expected failure, frustration and disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. First, they weaken a person's ability to react to changes; second, they fail to help a person deal with unexpected troubles. It is fairly sure that people will meet with problems they have never expected, so these harmful effects may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What does the passage mainly tell us?27. What harmful effects can anti-anxiety drugs have on a patient?28. What is the speaker’s attitude toward anti-anxiety drugs?Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1821 in England. Her family moved to the United States when she was 11. There, several years later, a family friend who suffered from cancer suggested to her that she study medicine. The dying friend said that perhaps her sickness would have been better under-stood if she had been treated by a woman. Elizabeth knew that no woman had ever been permitted to study in a medical college, but she began to think about the idea seriously after the friend died.Supported by her family, she began to study medicine privately with a doctor. Later she was accepted by Geneva Medical College in New York State and graduated in 1849 with high honors. She became the first woman in the Western world to have completed medical school training.Dr. Blackwell had many dreams. One was to start a hospital for women and children: another was to build a medical school to train woman doctors. After many years’s struggle against every kind of opposition, she finally succeeded in opening the first medical college for women in New York in 1868, and a second one later in London. In 1871 she founded the British National Health Society.Elizabeth Blackwell believed that the true reponsibility of doctors was to prevent disease. She stated p program in which doctors visited patients in their homes and taught them basic hygiene about house cleaning and food preparation so that sickness could be prevented. And she started the program of disease prevention in her schools. It was the first time the idea of preventing disease was taught at a medical college.Dr. Blackwell died in 1910, at the age of 89. She is remembered for her contribution to the cause of medicine and for showing the way for women to move on.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.29. Why did Elizabeth Blackwell want to become a doctor?30. As the first woman doctor, where did she open the first medical college for woman?31. What did Elizabeth Blackwell think was the true responsibility of doctors?32. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth Blackwell?Passage 3:When parents and teachers of youn children talk about the need for good self-esteem, they usually mean that children have “good feelings” about themselves. With young children, self-esteem refers to the extent to which they expect to be accepted and valued by the adults and peers who are important to them.Children with a healthy sense of self-esteem feel that the important adults in their lives accept them, care about them, and would go out of their way to ensure that they are safe and well. They feel that those adults would be upset if anything happened to them and would miss them if they are separated. Children with low self-esteem, on the other hand, feel that important adults and peers in their lives do not accept them, do not care about them very much, and would not go out of their way to ensure their safety and well-being.During their early years, youn children’s self-esteem is based largely on their perceptions of how the important adults in their lives judge themn. The extent to which children believe they have the characteristics valued by the important adults and peers in their lives figures greatly in the development of self-esteem. For example, in families and communities that value athletic ability highly, children who excel in athletics are likely to have a high level of self-esteem, whereas children who are less athletic or who are criticized as being physically clumsy are likely to suffer from low self-esteem.Families, communities and ethnic and cultural groups vary in the criteria on which self-esteem is based. For example, some groups may emphasize physical appearance, and some may evaluate boys and girls differently.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33. Who play a major role in helping children develop a healthy sense of self-esteem?34. What is youn children’s self-esteem mainly based on according to the passage?35. Which of the following is not discussed?Tapescript of Test 2Part ADirections: You’re going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be read only once. Listen carefully and choose the right answer to each question you hear. (8 points)Conversation 1.W: Mr. Brown, I tried to memorize the script but I keep forgetting the lines.M: Look, Jane, you'll be fine if you stop putting so much pressure on yourself.Q: What does the man mean?Conversation 2.W: Excuse me, but could you tell me where I can change U.S. dollars into Euros?M: There’s a bank round the corner. But now it’s already past its closing time. You can’t try the one near the hospital.Q: What does the man mean?Conversation 3.W: I can't stand the air pollution in the city any more. It’s getting worse.M: I couldn’t agree more. You see, we’ve never had so many factories before.Q: What does the man mean?Conversation 4.M: I’d like to sign up for some voluntary work. It’s a good way to connect with the community.W: It sure is. But you have to put in a lot of hours. How can you schedule your time?Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 5.W: Did you see last night’s film on Channel 9?M: Well, I meant to see it, but a friend of mine came to see me. We had a long talk about our business.Q: What did the man do last hight?Conversation 6W: Paul, have you heard that we won’t be laid off after all?M: I know, but I’m fed up with my job here anyway.Q: What’s the man’s reaction to the woman’s news?Conversation 7M: Hey, Lisa, look over there. Is it a man or a woman? I can’t see clearly.W: It’s hard to say, Paul. Nowadays lots of boys and girls wear the same clothes and have long hair.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 8M: I know what you mean. That’s why Rosa decided to break up their engagement.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Part BDirections: You’ll hear two conversations. Each will be read once. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (7 points)Conversation 1W: Hi. Can I help you?M: Hi. I’ve, uh, just opened a checking account and I want to withdraw 150 euros. What I want to know is, who do I make the check out to?W: Well, since the money is for yourself, you make it out to cash.M: Ok. W...how do I do that?W: You just write the word "cash" on this line.M: This line here?W: Yes, next to "pay to the order of".M; Ok. C-A-S-H. Now, I want to make this 150 euros. There, how’s this?W: Well, you’ve written the amount in numbers, but you have to write it out in words, too. That goes on the second line, there.M: Oh, yeah.W: By the way, it’s a good idea to draw a line from the end of the amount to the word “euros”so nobody can change the amount.M: Oh, thanks. Well, that should do it. Here you go.W: You forgot to sign your name. There, in the bottom right corner.M: Woops, sorry. Here you go.W: The date.M: W...huh?W: The date—you forgot it. It goes in the top right corner.M: Oh,right. OK, am I done?W: Yes. That’s fifty—a hundred—a hundred and fifty euros.M: Thanks a lot. Have a good day.W: You too.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.9. What’s the man doing in the bank?10. Where is the man asked to write the word “cash”?11. What does the woman ask the man to do?Conversation 2W: You look worried, David. Anything wrong?M: Well, to be honest, it's my mother. Sh e’s been behaving strangely lately.W: In what way?M: Well, ever since my father died, she’s been unhappy.M: But it happened more than three years ago. I never thought she would miss him so much.W: Oh, I see what you mean.M: It wouldn’t be so bad if my mother didn’t live so far away. When my father retired, they moved to the seaside. Then only a year later, my father suddenly had a heart attack and passed away. Now my mother is all alone in a big house, with very few friends and no family near her.W: She must be very lonely.M: Yes, she is ! My wife and I go to see her as often as we can. But it isn’t easy. I phone her at least twice a week and ask her if she’ all right or if she needs anything...And there’s something else that worries me a lot.W: What?M: Her memory seems to be going. I have to remind her to do all sorts of things...to pay the gas bill, for instance. She gets annoyed with me. But I know she’ll forget if I don’t.W: Well, don’t worry about it too much. She’s just getting old, that’s all.M: I know! That’s just the problem.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.12. Why does David’s mother feel unhappy lately?13. What’s wrong with David’s mother?14. Which of the following is true?15. What do you know about David?Part CDirections: Listen to the passage three times and fill in the blanks with the missing words. (10 points)In the 16)course of modernization, our environment is being polluted faster than man’s present efforts can 17)prvent. Advanced 18)technology and modern industries bring our society many 19)benefits, making our life easy and comfortable, but they also lead to greater polution.One form of pollution, in 20)particular, that has received a lot of attention in recent years, is that produced by waster plastic bags and boxes. 21)Due to improper disposal, they lie here and there along the railway tracks. In the rivers, on the hills, on the sea and around 22)communities. On a windy day, 23)they are to be seen flying freely in the sky.Measures must be taken to clean them up. 24)Recycling should be put into consideration and more importantly, 25)consumers themselves have to be responsible for the proper disposal of their garbage.Part DDirections: You’ll hear three passages. Each will be read only once. Listen carefully and then choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (10 points)One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles.In more traditional societies,when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. But nowadays, quite a lot of young people like travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often，however，the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. They may discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilitites.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What is mainly discussed in the passage?27. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?27. What is the style of the talk?Passage 2The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring.That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond did not represent loyalty as some people thought. It represented beauty instead. The Austrian man placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel or nerve in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues. Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year, if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which woman friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as as a wife. Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party. During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings. That represents the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his wedding ring on the third finger of his left hand.Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.29. What is the passage mainly about?30. What do the bride and bridegroom do during the marriage ceremony?31. Which of the following is true?32. What is the chief advantage of having the engagemnent period?Passage 3My family came to America before I was born. In two weeks I am going to get married, and my fiancee (未婚妻), Rosa and I expect to be very happy. We do not plan to have a honeymoon because we want to spend two weeks setting up our own new business as real estate agents (房地产代理商).My mother, who is very traditional (传统)woman, says that our plan is absurd. She thinks that we should justbusinesses together. Instead, the man went out to work, and the wife stayed home to raise a family.Both Samantha and I want children in the future, and together we plan to raise them. Needless to say, our plans and my mother's views don't agree. I suppose it's hard for my mother and father to understand our point of view. They are used to another way of setting up a marriage and a life.Another thing that worries my parents is the fact that Rosa and I are going to be spending seven days a week on our business until it is running smoothly. As my mother has pointed out to us, such a schedule will leave us little time for socializing. A young couple should enjoy themselves and get to know each other under less hectic circumstances, my mother says.Actually, Rosa and I know each other pretty well. We are both dedicated to our goals, and neither of us minds giving up weekends for a while.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33. Why do the speaker and his fiancee decide not to have a honymoon?34. Which of the following best describes the speaker’s mother?35. What do you know about the young couple?。

have had if they had lear ned in a broader- min ded educati onal system.i feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in cators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligenee.they simply exert a lot of pressure on stude nts to be as well-ro un ded as possible. i think being well-ro un ded isntreally possible.and as a con seque nee, some stude nts i believe to bein tellige nt cant get into good colleges if they,you know, have nt scored well on the math secti on, eve n if they are brilliant writers. another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weakstude nts are separated from the rest of the school.some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others. and theyre very aware of their social positi on, you know.i think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.theyre just acting in a way they are expected. often their grades go from bad to worse. and thats pretty sad.i think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they n ever actually realize their pote ntial because of the way they are treated early on

全新版大学英语听说教程3原文Unit 1Part 1: An Introduction to Names1. Hi, everyone! Today, let's talk about names. Names are an important part of our identity, and they have different meanings and significance in different cultures. In this lesson, we'll explore various aspects of names and how they can shape our lives.2. To start off, let's discuss the importance of names in different cultures. In many Western cultures, a person's first name is given at birth and often represents their gender, cultural background, or family tradition. Middle names are sometimes included to honor ancestors or to distinguish individuals from others with similar names.3. In some Eastern cultures, such as China, names hold an even greater significance. Chinese names usually consist of a surname, which is passed down through generations, and a given name, which is chosen by parents. The given name often reflects the parents' hopes and wishes for their child's future.4. Another interesting aspect of names is their popularity. Certain names may become trendy or popular in a particular era, while others remain timeless and classic. Pop culture, celebrities, and even fictional characters can influence name choices. For example, after the release of a popular movie or TV show, names of characters in the production may become popular baby names.5. Names can also be influenced by cultural shifts and changes. In recent years, there has been a rise in the use of gender-neutral names, reflecting society's increasing awareness and acceptance of individuals who identify as non-binary or transgender.Part 2: Personal Experiences with Names1. Now, let's hear about some personal experiences with names. I'll start with my own story. My parents named me Emily, which means "industrious" or "hard-working." They hoped that this name would inspire me to pursue my goals and work hard towards success.2. How about you? Can you share your name and its meaning, if you know it? Have you ever had any interesting experiences or stories related to your name? Let's take turns and share our experiences.3. (Student A) Hi, my name is Tian. In Chinese, it means "sky" or "heaven." My parents chose this name because they wanted me to have a lofty and optimistic outlook on life.4. (Student B) Hello, I'm María. In Spanish, it means "bitter" or "sorrowful." My parents named me after my great-grandmother, who had a difficult life but always remained strong and resilient.5. (Student C) Hi, I'm Ahmed. My name is of Arabic origin and means "praise" or "thankfulness." My parents wanted me to remember the importance of gratitude and appreciation in life.6. (Student D) Hey, I'm Kim. My name is a unisex name, which can be used for both males and females. I like the versatility of my name, and it reflects my identity as a non-binary individual.Part 3: Cultural Perspectives on Naming1. Finally, let's discuss cultural perspectives on naming. Different cultures have varying customs and traditions when it comes to naming their children. In some cultures, names are chosen based on religious or spiritual beliefs, while in others, names may be passed down through generations as a way to honor ancestors.2. In addition, certain cultures may have naming ceremonies or rituals to formally introduce a child's name to the community. These ceremonies are often seen as important cultural events and can involve various customs, such as prayers, blessings, or feasts.3. It's fascinating to explore the diverse meanings behind names and how they can shape our identities. Names have the power to connect us to our heritage, express our individuality, and forge connections with others. Let's celebrate the richness and beauty of names in all their forms.That concludes our discussion on names for today. In our next lesson, we'll delve further into the topic of personal identities. See you then!。

全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程3讲义Unit 12BiodiversityUnit 12 BiodiversityPart APre-listening TaskQuestions for Discussion1.Do you know anything about biological diversity or biodiversity?2.Where can we enjoy the beauty of biodiversity?3.Is biodiversity important? Why?4.What is meant by “endangered species”? Can you name some species that are endangered?5.What are the main causes that lead some animalsand plants to decline in number or evendisappear completely?6.What can we do to save species from extinction?Demo:1. Do you know anything about biological diversity or biodiversity?The term “biodiversity” comes from “biological diversity”. It is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem on the entire Earth. Biodiversity is often used as a measure of the health of biological systems. The biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species. The year 2010 has been declared as the International Year of Biodiversity. Today there is concern that the period since the emergence of humans is part of a mass reduction inbiodiversity, caused primarily by the impact humans are having on the environment, particularly the destruction of plant and animal habitats.Additional Question for DiscussionA famous conservationist once said, “Animal conservation is a warto save the human race from committing suicide.” Do you agree?Demo:Yes, I do. As members of the earth’s ecosystem, animals play amajor part in maintaining the balance and harmony of the earth’s environment. To a great extent, the human race and other animals rely on one another for survival. The extinction of one species would eventually lead to the extinction of another. If human beings did not protect animals, their own survival would soon be endangered. Therefore, a wise policy for the human race is “live and let live”.Language Focus Here are some sentences and structures that you may find useful in discussing the above questions.,Biodiversity refers to the diversity of living things on Earth and the environments in whichthey live.,Biodiversity is everywhere around us.,We can enjoy the beauty of biodiversity when we are close to nature.,Different species of flowers, trees, birds, animals show us therich diversity of the livingworld.1,All species that share the same natural environment depend on / interact with each other.,All species require a small / minimal amount of habitat for survival.,Biodiversity is important because all the species that share the same environment, or habitat,rely on one another for survival.,Every species, no matter how small, has an important role to play.,It is this combination that enables the ecosystem to prevent and recover from a variety ofdisasters.,Biodiversity is obviously useful for mankind as a larger number of plant species means a.greater variety of crops,.A larger number of animal species ensure that the ecosystem is naturally sustained,At least 40 per cent of the world’s economy and 80 per cent of the needs of the poor arederived from biological resources.,The richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economicdevelopment, and adaptive responses to such new challenges as climate change.,Many species are endangered / threatened. Among these are the panda, the tiger, the seaturtle, the blue whale, the gray wolf, and the bald eagle.,Human activities and pollution are important causes of the extinction of species.,Governments / International organizations / Industries / Individuals should make great effortsto save endangered species / preserve biodiversity.,The protection of endangered species and habitats should be a top priority.,We must find solutions that benefit both humans and non-human species.Part BListening TasksPassage 1Why Is Biodiversity Important?Word Bank生物多样性biodiversity n. variety of living things哲的学philosophical a. of or related to philosophy精神的～心的灵spiritual a. of the spirit, rather than the bodyecosystem n. all the plants and animals that live in a particular area and the complex生样系样relationship that exists between them and their environment species n. a class of animals or plants whose members are so similar that they can breed with;样植物的,物样;样、样形式相同,数each other基石keystone n. basis生物～有机体organism n. a living thing控制～制样regulate v. to control回收利用 recycle v. to convert (waste) to reusable material害～有害样物;如老虫pest n. an insect or other animal that harms food supplies or crops鼠等,未加工样的raw a. not yet treated for use医样的medicinal a. of healing2Script:The importance of biodiversity seems obvious to us. We enjoy the beauty of biodiversity when we take a walk in the park, take a trip to the zoo or a wild area, read books or watch TV shows about strange creatures in foreign lands. Some people believe that biodiversity is important simply because it is so wonderful. Some think there are philosophical or spiritual reasons for biodiversity. But there are other reasons why it is so important.The loss of biodiversity will change the balance of life on Earth.If an ecosystem is destroyed, many species adapted to that ecosystem may very likely be destroyed as well. If that species is what scientistscall “keystone”, a whole ecosystem may depend on it. Biodiversity is also important in its direct benefits to people. Plants give us the air we breathe; animals and plants supply us with the food we eat; and organisms and microorganisms clean the air, regulate floods, recycle waste, and control pests.Biodiversity also has economic and health benefits. Both industry and agriculture depend on it for raw material and other things. And medicine is even more dependent on biodiversity. In China, more than5,000 species of plants are used for medicinal purposes. Many species which were thought “useless” at first are found to be valuable. And this is a further threat from the loss of biodiversity.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationBiodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the sum total ofthe different species of animals, plants, and organisms living on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live. This very broad term is essentially a synonym of “life on Earth”. Scientists estimate that more than 10 million species exist on our planet, but so far only 1.75 million species have been discovered and named. And only a very small number of those have been examined for their value in medicine, agriculture, or industry. In the meantime, we are losing much ofEarth’s biodiversity. Most biologists agree that we are facing the most serious extinction of species since the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.2. loss of biodiversityThe loss of biological diversity may take many forms but at its most fundamental and irreversible it involves the extinction of species. At present species are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to the estimate of the American biologist Edward O. Wilson, we are losing27,000 species every year. His estimate is accepted by most biologists. Human activities are largely blamed for this. However, as more and more people realize the importance of biodiversity, positive steps have been taken to protect endangered species and to preserve biodiversity. In 1992, at the Convention on Biological Diversity, held in Rio de Janeiro, an agreement was reached by 160 countries, which called on governments to take action to protect plant and animal species.Exercise 1Listen to the recording and decide whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is true, write T in the brackets. If it is false, write F in the brackets and the correct version in the blank.,1. You can see biodiversity in the park. (T)32. You cannot enjoy the beauty of biodiversity in a foreign country if you don’t go there. (F)You can enjoy it through reading books and watching TV shows about foreign lands.3. Biodiversity is a term used to refer to the variety of living things in the world. (T)4. Scientists think that the importance of biodiversity lies in its presenting us with a wonderful world to enjoy.(F)Some people think so, but scientists believe that biodiversity is important to us because it isessential to our survival.5. The loss of a keystone species may destroy some of the living creatures in the natural world. (F)It may destroy an entire ecosystem.6. In China, over 7,000 species of plants are used for medicinal purposes. (F)More than 5,000 species of plants are used for medicinal purposes in China.Exercise 2Listen again and fill in the following blanks with the missing information.Biodiversity is everywhere around us. Without doubt, it is important to our life. Why? Below are some of the reasons:1. Biodiversity gives people a wonderful world to live in.2. The loss of any one kind of biodiversity will change the balance of life on Earth.3. Biodiversity brings direct benefits to people. For example, plants give the air we breathe.4. Biodiversity also has economic and health benefits. It provides industry and agriculture withraw material and other things. It is essential to medicine.5. Many species were thought useless at first but were later discovered valuable. This is a furtherthreat from the loss of biodiversity.Passage 2How Many Species Are There?Word Bank星系galaxy n. one of the large groups of stars in the universedatabase n. a very large collection of related data arranged for convenient access, generally in a数据样computermammal n. a type of animal in which the female gives birth to babies, not eggs, and feeds them哺乳样物on milk from her body微生物～样microbe n. a living thing that is so small that it can’t be seen without a microscope菌巴拿样;中美洲家,国Panama a country in Central AmericaScript:Isn’t it surprising that scientists have a better understanding of how many stars there are in the galaxy than how many species there areon Earth? Their estimates of global species diversity vary from 2 to 100 million species. Most people agree on an estimate of somewhere near 10 million and yet only 1.5 million have actually been named. Current knowledge of species diversity is limited. This problem becomes more serious because there is a lack of a central database or list of the world’s species.4New species are still being discovered — even new birds and mammals. On average, about three new species of birds are found each year, and since 1990, 10 new species of monkeys have been discovered. Other groups are still far from being completely described; an estimated 40 percentof freshwater fishes in South America have not yet been classified.Scientists were startled in 1980 by the discovery of a hugediversity of insects in tropical forests. In one study of just 19 trees in Panama, 960 new species of beetles were discovered.As scientists begin investigating other little-known ecosystems,like the soil and the deep sea, “surprising” discoveries of species become commonplace. There is nothing strange about this, though, sinceas many as a million undescribed species are believed to live in the deep sea. And one gram of a small-sized piece of land might hold 90 million bacteria and other microbes. How many species these communities contain is stil l anyone’s guess.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationWe humans have shared our planet with millions of creatures, yet we know very little of our neighbors. It is estimated that there exist 5 to 100 million species on Earth. But according to the latest counts, scientists have so far only described over 1.5 million species of animals, plants and algae. Among those are mammals (5,416), birds(9,956), reptiles (8,240), amphibians (6,199), insects (950,000), flowering plants (258,650), conifers (980), and mushrooms (16,000). Thegreatest diversity exists among insects, which account for nearly a million of the planet’s species. Mammals make up one of the smallest groups, with just 5,416 members.2. central databasea database that stores all the related information (about species)3. “surprising” discoveries of species become commonplacediscovering new species (in the soil and the deep sea) becomes quite ordinary4. anyone’s guesssomething that no one knows for sureExercise 1Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. Which of the following is true?a. Scientists don’t know much about the number of stars in the galaxy.b. Scientists have a sound knowledge about the diversity of species.c. Scientists don’t ag ree on the number of species in the world.d. Scientists show more interest in stars in the galaxy than in species on Earth.2. How many species are there on Earth according to most scientists?a. About 10 million.b. 2 million.c. 100 million.d. 1.5 million.3. In which of the following groups is the discovery of new species not mentioned in the passage?a. Birds.b. Monkeys.c. Trees.d. Freshwater fish.4. What can you learn from the passage?a. The soil and the deep sea belong to communities that haven’t been fully explored.b. It is surprising news whenever new species are discovered in the deep sea.5c. A million species in the deep sea have been discovered and named.d. About 90 million species are believed to live in the deep sea.5. Which of the following best reveals the main idea of the passage?a. Scientists differ greatly in their estimates of global species diversity.b. Knowledge of global species diversity is still limited.c. The mystery of the deep sea and the soil remains to be uncovered.d. Surprising discoveries of new species are commonplace.Exercise 2Listen to the passage again and then give a simple answer to each of the following questions.1. Which do scientists know better, the number of stars in the galaxy or the number of species on Earth?The number of stars in the galaxy.2. What is the percentage of freshwater fishes in South America that have been described?About 60%.3. How were 960 species of beetles discovered?In one study of 19 trees in Panama.4. What other little-known ecosystems are scientists investigating?The soil and the deep sea.5. How many species live in these little-known ecosystems?No one knows for sure.Speaking TasksPair WorkDebating — Arguments for or against the view that urban expansions should be stoppedbecause they cause the loss of biodiversityA SampleNowadays, some people think that urban expansions in coastal cities should be stopped because they cause the loss of biodiversity.

From the perspective of an environmental conservationist (positive)2. From the perspective of a developer (negative)Possible Arguments (for reference)From the perspective of an environmental conservationist (positive) Nowadays because of economic development and the increase of population in coastal cities, commercial centers, new houses and tall apartment buildings are being built in outskirts which used to be thehabitats of various kinds of animals, birds, insects and plants. With the rise of6blocks of buildings and people moving into them, gradually the number of species has dwindled and some species have even disappeared completely.The loss of biodiversity will certainly change the balance of lifeon Earth. Therefore I think urban expansion projects should be stopped. We should encourage people to go and live in inland cities. If the population can be evenly distributed, urban expansions will become quite unnecessary and the loss of biodiversity can be at least partially avoided.From the perspective of a developer (negative)I don’t think we should stop urban expansions simply because some species are disappearing. Urban expansion is an inevitable trend. With the rapid development of the economy, more businesses are set up in coastal cities, which attract a large number of investors and university graduates from home and abroad. Hence, skyscrapers, high-rises, new residential areas need to be built to accommodate companies and their staff. As the space within coastal cities is quite limited, expansion into the outskirts is naturally the first choice. It is true that with people settling in, some species may have to move out or even disappear. However, it is unwise to give a sudden stop to urban expansion projects in coastal cities because it will result in a threat to the developmentof human society. I think a better way is to balance the preservation of biodiversity and human development. For example, we can set up parks as habitats for various kinds of species before building projects begin. In this way we can avoid the danger of the loss of biodiversity.Now use the above sample as your model and carry on similar activities with your partner.Topic: Can we humans conquer nature?Perspectives:1. From the perspective of some students (positive)2. From the perspective of some other students (negative)Some Ideas for ReferenceThe Argument (positive)1.We humans are the master of nature.2.We build shelters to protect ourselves from the natural elements.3.We can grow vegetables in greenhouses all year round despite the change of seasons in nature.4.Nothing can stop us in our progress, not even high mountains or surging rivers. We can buildroads through mountains and bridges over rivers.5.We have invented automobiles, planes, boats and spaceships toreach almost everywhere.6.We discover cures for a great many illnesses and diseases.7.We build reservoirs to prevent floods and generate electricity at the same time.8.We can make artificial rainfall in drought-stricken regions and turn desert into farmland.The Counter-argument (negative)1.It’s true that we humans have kept acting like a master and doing whatever we want withnature for thousands of years. However, as a consequence of this “leadership”, now we areconfronted with problems that are far beyond our control.72.We have asked too much from nature and have been punished again and again.3.We cut down too many trees and destroy forests and vegetation. As a result floods frequentlytake place.4.Irresponsible development of the economy has caused serious pollution of both air and water.And diseases, caused by pollution, are increasing at an alarming rate.5.Carbon dioxide emission from cars and other sources has caused global warming.6.The holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures includinghuman beings.7.We humans, therefore, cannot ignore the counterattack of nature.8.Treat nature nicely and we human beings can doubtlessly live harmoniously with it.Part CTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What does this passage mainly tell us?a. A special kind of tomato.b. A newly created tomato.c. A new kind of tomato that can grow on water.d. A kind of tomato created by some Canadian scientists.2. What is the significance of the new technology?a. It can help solve the problem of feeding the world’s growing population.b. It can meet the needs of the world development.c. It can help the land of poor countries to be productive.d. It can solve the problem of the world’s growing population.3. What will happen by 2025 according to the passage?a. About 214,000 babies will be born each day.b. About 247 million acres of land will be lost to agriculture.c. The land will have become too salty.d. The world’s population will amount to over 9 billion.Script:Scientists have created a tomato that can grow on salty water. The plant is the first crop of its kind ever produced in the world. Its significance cannot be overestimated. The new technology can help mankind solve the problem of feeding its ever-expanding population. It is estimated that by 2025 the world population will amount to more than 9 billion, an increase of 3 billion over 2,000. Each day 240,000 more people are born, ready to be fed like the rest of us.Unfortunately, not all the land on Earth can be used to grow cropsfor humans. About 24.7 million acres of land is lost to agriculture each year because the land has become too salty. The灌样main cause of the problem is irrigation (). When farmers water their crops, salts in the water样also enter the soil. Over time, salts such as sodium () and calcium build up to such a point thatthey severely harm the growth of crops. Salts destroy most plants’ ability to draw up water through their roots.8But, the new variety of tomato produced by American and Canadian scientists can store salts in its leaves so that the fr uit doesn’t taste salty. Researchers hope this technology will enable areas of poor quality land to become productive. And they can feed some of theworld’s growing population.Part DTime to TalkLook at these pictures and describe them one by one. If possible,try also to find something relevant to talk about.9Hints:1.A:American redwood trees, the tallest tree in the world, over 100 metres tall, 9 metres in直径diameter (), hollow at the base, so wide a truck can drive through, as old as over 2000 years, living witnesses to the humanhistory蜜蜂B: honey bees (), tiny compared with the redwood trees, close to a flower, very busy,像蜜蜂一样忙碌the idiom “as busy as a bee” (), social animals, amazing organizational ability样袋熊2.koala (), lovely animal, gray coat, round eyes, big black nose, a funny-looking animal,袋鼠kangaroo (), little pocket on its belly, its young grow up there, hope to go to Australia,take a picture of the lovely animal3.tiger, seem calm and peaceful, perhaps just had a meal, he lives in the wild, no cage, blackand yellow stripes, beautiful, though he is called “king of the mountains”, the number oftigers is shrinking, take measures to protect them, disappear from the world foreverDemo:1.A:This is a picture of the American redwood trees. Redwood trees are the tallest livingtrees in the world. They can grow to be over 100 meters tall and 9 meters in diameter. Somegiant redwood trees have a hollow at the base, wide enough to allow a truck to drive through.Some of the oldest trees in the Redwood National Park are as old as over 2000 years. Theyare living witnesses to the human history.B:The picture on the right shows a little honey bee. It’s tiny compared with the redwoodtrees. It’s flying close to a flower. Bees are hard-working, thus we have the idiom “as busy asa bee”. They are social animals and have an amazing organizational ability. These twopictures show how diverse living things can be on the earth.2. This picture shows a lovely little animal, koala. It has a gray coat, round eyes, a big blacknose, and a short little tail. Funny-looking, isn’t it? It lives on a special kind of tree leaves.Like the kangaroo, it has a little pocket on its belly, and baby koalas live there until they grow10up. Koalas are found only in Australia, just as pandas are found only in China. I certainly hopeI can go to Australia one day and take a picture of lovely koalas.3. The tiger in the picture seems calm and peaceful. Maybe he’sjust had a meal. He lives inthe wild, as we cannot see a cage. Look at the black and yellow stripes on its body and hisface. The patterns look very beautiful. Despite the fact that he is sometimes called “king ofthe mountains”, the number of tigers in the world is shrinking and there are fewer tigers inthe wild. If no measures are taken to protect them, tigers may disappear from the worldforever.Movie TimeWord Bank潘多拉～希神样人名～样影中指的一星球名腊虚构个Pandora半球hemispheren.样样样道行运orbitv.土星Saturnn.有毒的toxica.不适合居住的uninhabitablea.样样的tropicala.样样样盆地the Amazon Basin生物样出冷光的体bioluminescenta.特征traitn.样射emitv.生样ecologyn.共生的symbiotica.样美人～样影中星球上的居民NaviPandora同名namesaken.未样化的savagea.地样terrainn.令人着迷的bewitchinga.Script:Pandora, a world of wonder and mystery, incredible danger andstrang e beauty.

If the statement were right, there should exist in the universe the cosmic background radiation from the explosion. Researchers have found evidence for its existence.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案Unit 1Text 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.'The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening. 'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage. Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Ex. 2 1. took// out to dinner// neighborhood2. nicer than he expected.3. A couple of times.4. the importance of slowing down//his marriageUnit 2Text1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded andthe owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1.

(Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it,two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise1：1.The house was decorated exactly the same as Mr. Stewart rememberedit2.Mr. Stewart happened to be in the house when a postman came to delivera letter to his father-in-law who had died 15 years ago.3.The old postman had called in sick that day, and the postman who camein his place was not familiar with the neighborhood.

She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn't quite right about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but wereunable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn't know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Exercise 1: Ex 1 1-2 c c Ex 2 1-8 T F F F F T T FText 2Krimali ( Part Two)Krimali planned to rescue her family first, but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby."Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!"The woman refused. Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman's face. "I'll be back!" Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby's mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved. Exercise 1:Questions :1-2 d bExercise 2:1. Because she was afraid Krimali might not be able to catch her.2. Because she thought the bed sheets could somehow protect the baby from being hurt if she failed to catch her.3. Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. To make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Unit 4Text 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.)John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1.

Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping. Time for bed: 11pm; time to get up: 6:30am except on weekends. Text 2A Marriage Agreement (Part Two)John: Linda, do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing?Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: , like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize. John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.Tom & Linda: Thank you.Ex. 1 1-3 c c aEx. 21.get lost// five minutes // driving // stop // directions2.breaking rules // break a rule // apologize and do something nice forthe other person to make it up3.reviewing the contents of the agreement // review this agreement oncea year // make necessary changesPart BText 1AshleyAshley was reading a magazine when she came across an article about antibiotics and other drugs discovered in European rivers and tap water. If such drugs were present there, she reasoned, they might also be found near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms, which can kill untold numbers of people.The girl, then 16, began testing her area's river -- the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio and its tributaries over ten weeks. Reading scientific journals, she taught herself to analyze the samples. It was the most scientifically sound project for someone her age.Her experiment, one of the first of its kind in the United States, showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She received a $5,000 scholarship and an audience with Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science was sparked by walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff -- how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. "Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has won $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. "I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done," she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize.Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

By now just about everybody has heard the "Not for Sale" commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies. What many peopledon't know is that teenagers from West New York and across New Jersey worked on various aspects of the campaign, and even appeared in some of the advertisements. The campaign organizer thought it would be better than using actors if actual REBEL members were in the commercials.REBEL, which stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies, is a statewide youth initiative against tobacco companies. The movement, which began in November last year, carries the message that teens no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. Knowing that peer pressure on teens to smoke or do drugs is one of the biggest problems that teens face, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New York swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group."We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie, one of its founding members. "But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now."Exercise 1:1. Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies2. They launched an advertising campaign to call on youth to fight against tobacco companies by starting the "Not fro Sale" commercial on television and radio.3.

And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.Sam: , I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment.Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.Interviewer: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.Interviewer: Really?Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.Sam: All right.Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. What's the relationship between the two speakers?2. What does Sam mainly talk about?3. What do you know about Sam?Exercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends on the assignment one has. In his opinion the biggest pert of the stress is the fear of the unknown and patrol is the most stressful assignment.Text 2Stress ReducersInterviewer: Sam, you've talked about the police officers' stressful time. Now let's move on to the next topic. So far as I know, there's a connectionbetween stress and illness. Do you think that there's a higher percentage of illness among police officers than in the general population? I mean, do they get more colds or anything? Is this really true?Sam: Yes, it is, and the stress level not only manifests itself in daily health -- whether or not you've feeling well on any given day. It also manifests itself in things like ulcers, heart disease -- police officers tend to have a higher rate of heart disease and ulcers than people in other professions.Interviewer: Really? That's documented?Sam: Yes, it's documented. And also the divorce rate among police officers is much higher.Interviewer: Is there something that the police department does to help you deal with this stress?Sam: Yes, there are several programs that most police departments have in place. One is an exercise program where some part of your day is spent on some type of physical exercise. They've found that's a great stress reducer. Besides, there's also a psychological program with counseling for officers to help them reduce their stress. And there are several discussion groups as well. They've found that sometimes just sitting around and talking about the stress with other officers helps to reduce it. So, those things are available.Interviewer: And what do you do, personally, to help you deal with the stress of your job, Sam?Sam: Well, during the baseball season, I'm the biggest baseball fanatic, and I will either be reading about baseball, or listening to baseball, or watching baseball. Another thing I try to do is to get some sort of exercise every day. And then I work hard at keeping up my personal relationships, especially my relationship with my wife. Fortunately I get along very well with my wife. When I come back home, I can talk about my day with her, and then just forget about it.Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. T Statements:1. The dialogue is mainly about how police officers can deal with stress.2. According to Sam, most police officers enjoy good health.3. According to Sam, the divorce rate among police officers is higher than among people in other jobs.4. Counseling is the most effective program to help police officers relieve stress.5. Sam knows how to reduce his stress.Exercise 2:1. ... One is an exercise program, another is a psychological program with counseling for officers. And there are several discussion groups as well for officers to sit down and talk about their stress with other officers.2. 2)...He tries to get some sort of exercise every day.3)...his personal relationships, especially his relationships with his wife.Unit 7 The Business WorldKenneth: Hello, my name is Kenneth Johnson. I have an appointment with Mr. Andrew Song.Laura: Oh hello, Mr. Johnson, I'm Laura Lee. We've spoken on the phone a couple of times.

You flew, didn't you?Kenneth: Yes, that's right, and then I took a taxi down here from the airport.Laura: Oh, that's good. Kunming can be a little wet at this time of year ... you'll have to come back in summer.Kenneth: Oh, I'd like that. I always like coming to China. Miss Lee, I wonder if I could send a fax from here. It's rather urgent.Laura: Yes, of course. Shall I show you to the machine or shall I take it?Kenneth: Oh, it would be better if you could take it —here's the number. Laura: Fine. Would you like a newspaper to read — or The Economist? Kenneth: No, it's okay — I can prepare some work while I'm waiting. Laura: Right, I'll get this off for you.Kenneth: Thanks. Oh — one other thing. I need to send some flowers to my wife. Today is the fifth anniversary of our marriage. I think some flowers from your beautiful city would be rather appropriate, don't you? Laura: Oh, sure! Right, I'll get you a number of a florist. I expect you'll want to send a special message with the flowers.Kenneth: Yes, I'll think of one.Laura: Oh, here's Mr. Song. Andrew, this is Mr. Johnson. He's just arrived. Andrew: Hello, Mr. Johnson. Pleased to meet you and welcome here. Kenneth: Thanks.Andrew: Now shall we go inside and let me explain the program to you? Kenneth: Sure.Andrew: I think we've sent you an outline for the day — if you agree, we could start with a video which explains some of ours and then we could have a look at a few reports on campaigns.。
