想出来的智慧2018年1月10日Unit 1Luis: Well, I guess the biggest change in my life over the last five years is that I got married. I used to be single, and now I’m not! I used to enjoy going out with friends every weekend- you know I was a lot more sociable. Now a more of own body, I liked to stay at home, watch TV- that kind of thing. It’s not so bad. I guess you could say that I grew up- I was tired of going out all the time and ready to settle down and start a family.Celine: For me the change has been with my work. I used to work in a large company. I worked in their corporate headquarters downtown in the accounting department. It was a great job- good money, decent benefits. When I first started at that company, I was very young and very ambitions. But after a while, I got tired of it. I was so unhappy there, and the commute was killing me! But one evening two years ago, I attended a seminar on working for yourself-you know, being self-employed and starting your own company. So I quit my job and gave it a try. It was scary at first, but after a little while I could see it was going to work out just fine for me. I couldn’t be happier.Diana: Gosh, five years ago I was a completely different person. You wouldn’t have recognized me if you’d seen me then! I talk a lot now, but I was more reserved then. And I hardly exercised at all. I never played any sports and rarely spent time outside. I was in terrible shape and worried about my health. But all that changed when I met my friend Judy. See, she convinced me to start slowly, you know, by walking every morning before work and swimming twice a week. Well, now I spend most of my free time outside- hiking, swimming when the weather’s good, playing tennis or racquetball- those kinds of things. I’m in pretty good shape now and feeling wonderful.Luis: Well, my wife is always saying that I’m not very good with money, not practical at all. She’s always teasing me about spending habits, but she’s right. When I see something I want, I just go and buy it, even if it is something I don’t really need. I guess I waste a lot of our money. We’re expecting our first child in December, and now that there’s going to be three of us, well , I think I do need to be more careful.Celine: working at home has been a real struggle. It’s been a lot harder th an I imagined. I need to be more organized, that’s for sure. So, I ’ve decide to hire at a part-time secretary- you know, someone who can come in couple of times a week and help out with me phones, the filing, and just clean up in general. I’m so busy that sometimes I kind of let things get out of hand- the office gets really messy! I sure could use some help. Diana: Well, I started mountain climbing a year and a half ago, and I just love it. Well, the next step for me is to concentrate on that sport and se e where I can go with it. I’d love to someday- say, five or ten years from now- go mountain climbing in the Himalayas. They have some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world. That would be a real adventure! But before I do anything like that, I have to practice, practice, practice! And I have to get stronger –mentally as well as physically.Paul: So, Andrea, you going home for the holidays?Andrea: I sure am. I’ve booked a fight for tomorrow afternoon and I can’t wait!Paul: That sounds great.Andrea: What about you? Going home, too?Paul: I haven’t decide d yet. I ‘m still debating…Andrea: Haven’t decide? Oh, you’re never going to get a flight out of there. I’m sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It’s the holiday season, after all!Paul: Well, it’s not such a big deal for me. My family only lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It’s a short trip.Andrea: You don’t sound very excited about it.Paul: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they’re spread out all over the place. One lives on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I even have a brother in Montreal! Andrea: oh, wow! What does he do?Paul: Translation work! It’s kind of strange, but we rarely get together as family anymore.Andrea: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We’re a big family- there are six of us children- so it’s always a lot of fun.Paul: Six kids?Andrea: Yep! And we’re all really close. You should see it- most of us are married, too, so it makes for a very crowded house over the holidays.Paul: I can imagine.Andrea: O f course. There are too many people to cook dinner for. It’s a real headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It’s pret ty crazy.Paul: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So, when all of us do get home- which isn’t that often- she always cooks big, homemade meals. We have leftovers for days!Unit 2 Carol: Well, I went away to college when I was seventeen. I’d never lived away from my parents before, and I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind, and I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with two other girls. I guess the thing I learned the most was how to get along with other- you know, how to respect other people’s opinions and property- stuff like that. At home I’d always had my own room. This was the first time I’d had to live with other people in the same room.We were all really different-I mean, our personalities and lifestyles were completely opposite in some ways! Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight quarters. Three seventeen-year-olds living in one room- can you imagine? I’m surprised we survived it at all.Michael: I think, for myself, the hardest thing was learning how to manage my owe time better. I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepare d, and things liked that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class! It was a drag! Somehow, midway through the semester, I changed and started to do well.Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school, I did n’t have to worry- I had the same schedule every day, and at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibility for your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out yourself.Frank: I’m having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we’re so smart- that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the textbook confusing, and then I get discouraged. Well, some of us got together and formed a study group. It seems to work ok most of the time- we compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He’ll forget his notes or he won’t have read the book beforehand. That really bothers me and I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have hard time on the final exam.Regina: I’m trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing- most of the other kids have already picked it up, and I just can’t get it. There’s this software manual at school- I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There was simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I’m not sure that what to do next.Sonia: I’m going to France next summer, so I want to learn as much French as I can. So, I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see, it’s supposed to be beginning –level class- no way! I’m telling you, most of the person in there- they already knew how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am complete beginner! I did not know one word of French when I started this class! So I always feel lost- even from day one, I had no idea what was going on. Now, the teacher is nice, but he’s not very good! He gets off the topic, and he’ll get stuck on some tiny, little point for like half an hour at a time. But I really shoul dn’t complain because after all, this class is free!Unit 3Andy: Well, this is Andy Wong, and we’re just about at the end of another episode of “Where in the world…?” But before we sign off, I’d like to tell you a little about tomorrow’s program. Tomorrow we have a very interesting report on two very exciting cities that I’m sure you won’t want to miss. Our reporters in the field, Deborah and Todd, are standing by to fill us in on the details. Deborah! Can you hear me?Deborah: Yes, Andy, loud and clear.Andy: Well, where are you?Deborah: You know I can’t tell you that, Andy! You have to watch tomorrow’s program to get the answer.Andy: oh, right! That’s right. Well, tell us about the place anyway.Deborah: ok. This city is a very exciting place to visit. First of all, it is one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is a very cosmopolitan city with a strong identity of its own. And the local food is unique. I really am enjoying the restaurants that serve barbecued beef, which is grilled right at your table. But I must warn you, much of the food is extremely spicy, so come prepared. Do you like spicy food, Andy?Andy: Love it!Deborah: Well, you should come on over, then! Andy, this city is very old! It was founded in the fourteenth century and is divided by the Han River. The city has a striking combination of modern and ancient architecture. In fact, most of the traditional architecture is located on the northern side of the river- when I am now. With its efficient subway syst em, it’s very easy to get around and see the sights.Andy: Great, Deborah. Thanks so much for…Deborah: oh, wait, Andy! One more thing I forgot to mention! The shopping- the street vendors here sell everything from shoes to electronics to furniture- all at discounted prices! Oops, have I said too much?Andy: No, no, not at all! Sounds like you’re having a fantastic time. We’re looking forward to hearing your full report tomorrow, and finding out just where in the world you are right now! Before we run out of time, though, let me turn it over to Todd. Todd? Are you there?Todd: I sure am. Hello, everyone. Well, my city is very old. It was founded in fifteen forty-nine by the Portuguese. It is now the third largest city in the country, with about two milli on inhabitants. It’s quite fascinating. Believe it or not, it’s built into a cliff, and it overlooks a beautiful bay. It’s actually on two levels. To get to the upper level you can take an elevator. From there you have a wonderful view of the bay. And if you enjoy swimming, there are beautiful beaches.Andy: well, Todd! I guess we know where you’re been the last few days! On the beach!Todd: Well, not exactly! Andy. There’s so much to see and do here. By the way, this city also has a strong African influence: you can see it in the music, food, and dance styles of the region.Andy: Mm-hmm. What do people like to do there?Todd: many people enjoy watching a special kind of dance that’s a mixture of dancing and fighting with an African origin. For those of you who enjoy nightlife, this city can’t be beat. It has several different street festivals during the year, each one like a mini-carnival of its own.Andy: Great! Thanks a lot, Todd. Well, that certainly has given our listeners plenty to think about, but I’m sorry to say we’re out of time. That’s it, folks. This is Andy Wong reminding you to tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our travel show,” where in the World…?” Goodnight, everybody!Interviewer: Hi, guys!Jose and Vicki: Hi.Interviewer: Thanks for agreeing to meet me here on such short notice.Jose: No problem.Interviewer: Well. Listen, as I said to you on the phone, I’m doing a story for the campus newspaper. I’m interviewing foreign students to get their impressions of our city. Um, this should only take about ten minutes or so. Let’s see…Uh, do you mind if I tape-record our interview?Vicki: Oh no, not at all.Interviewer: OK, then. Jose, why don’t we start with you. What do you think of San Francisco? How do you like it here so far?Jose: It’s OK! I guess.Interviewer: Oh, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.Jose: No, no. I like it. It’s just that I’ve been so busy studying. I haven’t had much time to explore the city. Interviewer: Oh. That’s too bad.Jose: Yeah. And when I have the time, well, it’s so cloudy and foggy here- especially in the summer. I never thought I’d be wearing a sweater in July!Interviewer: Well, this is Northern California. Hey, maybe you should move south. I hear Los Angeles is warmer. Vicki?Vicki: Oh, I love it here. I think this is a beautiful city. The rolling hills, the views of the bay- it’s very romantic.Interviewer: Yeah. So how do you guys spend your free time?Jose: Well, I’m studying architecture and am somewhat of a photographer……Interviewer: Really?Jose: Oh, I’m just an amateur. Anyway, I …I’m always taking pictures of the building in this city. You know, the Victorians, the modern skyscrapers downtown, MOMA ……Interviewer: MOMA. You mean , the Museum of Modern Art?Jose: Right. There’s such a variety of buildings in this city. The architecture is really great. I also have taken pictures of other structures, like the Golden Gate Bridge- it looks totally different when the weather changes. Interviewer: Wow! T hat’s interesting. Ah, well, Vicki, it’s your turn. What do you like to do?Vicki: I like to explore the different neighborhoods. Yesterday I went to the Italian neighborhood, North Beach, to buy some pastries and have a cup of espresso. Today I’m going d own to the Mission District to get a burrito for lunch.Interviewer: Hey, sounds like you like to eat!Vicki: Yes. Actually, I like the Mission a lot. It’s a Hispanic neighborhood. We don’t have anything like that where I come from.Interviewer: Uh, wel l, that’s about it. Any final comments?Jose: No, not really.Vicki: I just like to say that this is the great place to live，It’s small after get around easy but big enough to offer all the advantages of large cities，I’m glad I got the chance to study he reLindsay: So, Eric, how long have you lived in New York?Eric: All my life. I was born here. Sounds like you’re new in town.Lindsay: Two months. I just moved here from Michigan,Eric: Wow! That’s a big change. New York must be quite a shock.Lind say: Well, not exactly. I lived here once before, when I went to graduate school. So, I …I guess you could say that I’m used to life in N ew York, if that’s possible.Eric: when did you live here?Lindsay: Oh, let’s see, …it must have been about eight yea rs ago. Boy, the city sure has changed since then. Eric: I supposed so. I mean, they’re really cleaned up Times Square. It used to be so me dirty. I mean, now it’s just full of tourists.Lindsay: Yeah. And the subways seem to run more on schedule now.\\Eric: Basically, I think the city is safer anywhere you go, probably because we have so many more police officers on the street.Lindsay: Oh, that’s for sure! You know, though, one thing I can’t get used to is the noise- especially those garbage trucks! They come at five in the morning and are so loud. The noise wakes me up every time!Eric: I guess I’ve lived here so long I don’t hear it anymore. I can sleep through just about anything. You know the one thing I am tired of –the weather. I mean, I’m not sick and tired of these long, cold winters. I’m thinking about moving next year. Lindsay: Really?Eric: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I’ve live here all my life, and I feel like I need some kind of change. You know, a new environment. it’s time to get out of New York.Lindsay: Hmm. Not me! I love the nightlife: the theater and the great restaurants. I can’t wait to get out and discover all that New York is offering!Unit 4 Lisa: Uh, well, I'm a freelance writer, and that means that I work at home. And a lot of people think my job is easier because I don't have to go the office every day. And I don't have to deal with office politics. But, you know, the truth is, my job is very hard. I have to be very organized and very disciplined. and pretty self-motivated. And when I have a problem, there is no one around to help me- I have to solve it myself. And sometimes I worry about money. So when I get stressed, I take a hot bath to relax, and then I curl up in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea. And that usually does the trick at the end of a long and very hard day.Sean: Traffic stresses me out. I do a lot driving to school and to my part-time job. Drivers can be so rude, especially during rush hour. I try to ignore them by listening to my favorite music in the car. Then, when I get home, I try to something fun to relax. I'll watch a funny movie or go to a friend's house- something like that. Anything to take my mind off school and work. Victor: I work in the hospital emergency room. You can imagine how stressful that is! Everyone is in a hurry and under tremendous pressure. The doctors are demanding, and there's always too much to do. I cope with all this stress by going to the gym at least four times a week. My friend got me started weight lifting, and now I'm addicted. When I feel especially frustrated, it feels good to go to the gym and throw those weights around. The other thing I do it is get out of the city. Every month or so, I go for a drive in the country. The fresh air and the quite do wonders for me.Lucia: I have this recurring dream. I'm back in high school, and in my dream, the school I looks mostly the same as it did, but m uch bigger. The weird thing is ……that although I'm now twenty years old, I had to go back to high school and study with all these fifteen-year-olds. It's very embarrassing. No one seems to notice that I'm much older and shouldn't be there in the first place. But still, it's very uncomfortable. I keep thinking. "What am I doing here?" Well, I think it must be a couple of weeks into school, and I've lost my class schedule. I start walking through the halls trying to find the main office. I can't find it. No matter how far, how many hallways, I just can't find it. I know I'm late for class, and this really worries me. Finally , I wind up in my math class, but it's almost over- so I've missed most of it, and I don't know what the homework is, and I think I've missed an important test, or something. Basically, that's the dream. I think I have that dream when I am worried or overwhelmed about something that is happening in my life at the time.Rick: my name is Rick, and I sometimes have this dream, this bad dream. Really it's a nightmare. I'm in danger, but I'm not sure from what, and I can't move or scream or anything. I can feel something coming closer and closer to me, and, you know, it's really strange because usually in the dream I am exactly where I am in real life- like in my own bed in my bedroom- and everything is very realistic. The only part is dreamlike is that I can't move. Sometimes I can't even open my eyes, or I can open one eye, usually I have to alert someone, or possible save someone, although the person often changes. Anyway, I can't do anything because I can't move. It's really terrifying. You know, I think the dream means that I'm feeling there's something in my life that I can't control, although I should be able to. Once I had the dream when one of mychildren was very sick, and I just felt completely helpless. I hate feeling that way.Unit 5 Yoshiko: In some ways, I'm a typical Japanese teenager. I go to a public high school and wear a uniform, just like everyone else. I go to school five and a half days a week- I get Sundays off. I have interests similar to most of my friends: I like to play video games and am a big fan of American movies. Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors. There's one big way I'm different, though. I spent almost six years living outside Japan. My father's company transferred him overseas, and of course we went with him. Living in a foreign culture was really tough at first, but I guess I'm lucky in a way. I learned to speak English, and I made a lot of new friends. So you can see that I'm really quite a bit different from my classmates!Renato: My life is pretty typical, I think. I head off school at seven in the morning, and school finishes at midday. After school, I usually study or play soccer. On weekends, I like to get together with my friends. We usually hang out in one of the shopping centers. Everyone just shows up there on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a lot of fun……most of the time. I think one way I am different is that I like to do my own thing sometimes. I don't always want to hang out with the group. There's a lot of peer pressure to spend time with my friends, but I don't listen to what they say. I guess you could say that I think for myself. Sometimes it makes my friends angry, but that's just the way I am.Suzanne: I guess I worry about the same things other kids my age to do ……you know, grades, getting alo ng with my parents…… I am doing OK in school, but I have to study really hard. I want to make sure that my grades are good enough so I can get into a decent university. I am pretty typical: I go to classes, attend club meetings after school, and do homework at night. Weekends are great because I get to sleep late. Oh yeah, I am also a member of the orchestra at school. I pay the violin. My school is different from a typical school in the United States. We study all the core subjects- like most other students- in the morning: science, math, English, history-the usual stuff. In the afternoon, though, we study things like music, dance, and art. You see, I go to a special school for the arts. A lot of us have dreams of becoming dancers or singers someday. That's why we spend so much time learning about the arts.Dominique: You see, I find making an expensive purchase quite difficult. Probably because I don't want to make a mistake and get stuck, especially for something that costs a lot of money, like a car. You see, when I bought my car, I knew I just couldn't go into a showroom and choose a car! No impulse purchases for me! I needed a lot of time to think it over and consider the options. So, I read consumer magazines to see how they rated their cars. I wanted to know the average prices and safety records of different cars. I mean, you never know...I also talked to people in the field who are knowledgeable. You know, the guy down the street who works in the garage, oh, and, uh, also, my brother-in-law--he's a car fanatic.And once I decided which one I liked, I finally went to the showroom to test-drive the car. I suppose you could say that my approach takes a lot of time, but I feel secure in my decisions.Carla: I'm in charge of hiring new staff for my department at work. I mean, several of us do the interviews, but I'm the person who gives the final approval. If I say "no," then the person isn't hired. It's a lot of pressure! Sometimes I get stressed out about it. I have to admit that I hate to waste time making decisions. It's funny, my boss does it completely differently. She just likes to sit and think, you know, mull over the information and let the decision "come to her." We have completely different styles! I think I've learned a lot from my previous mistakes: You just have to go with your instincts--that is, do what you think is best and then just hope that it works out. I mean, we all get strong feelings about things, and usually those feeling are right. The important thing is to act quickly! Up until now I've been pretty lucky. The people I've hired have all worked out--no major problems so far.Wayne: When I have to make an important decision, I find I need to talk to a lot of people, get their input. If I have to do it myself, I get confused. It's like the more I think about something and consider all the options, the more frustrated I get. I could sit and analyze something forever. My friends say that I can always see both sides of everything, which makes it hard to decide on anything! You can imagine how irritated my friends must get. When I was deciding where to spend my long Christmas holidays last year, I asked everyone for help. Basically what I did was pose this question: "Where would you go in December if you had three weeks?" I listened to all the answers and then made my decision. You might think I'm strange,but it worked. Based on everyone's advice, I went to Miami. I had an amazing vacation!Unit 6 Unit6: Lesson A: ListeningFirst conversationLiz: Hi,...Pete?Pete: Yes. Hello.Liz: I'm Liz, Donna's mother. Donna has told me all about you.Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton.Liz: It's nice to meet you, too. So, are you enjoying the party?Pete: Yeah, it's great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I've been pretty busy. I haven't had much time to sample the food.Liz: I know what you mean. I can't believe that all you kids are finally graduating. Donna has grown up so fast! Do you have any plans after graduation?Pete: Well, I've applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I'll probably find out if I got the job or not next week.Liz: You’re more adventurous than Donna. She's going to take a job rig ht here in town, at least for the summer. After that, who knows?Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,...wait a minute. I'm sorry. I think Dan is leaving the party. Excuse me, Mrs. Morton, I've got to talk to him before he goes.Liz: Certainly. It was nice meeting you, Pete.Pete: Same here.Liz: Oh, and good luck with your job search.Pete: Thanks. Thanks a lot.Second conversationMan 1: You know, I...uh...I kind of like this music.Man 2: Well, it is lively. I'll say that for it.Man 1: Great music for dancing.Man 2: Dancing? Yeah. I guess. For young people, anyway.Man 1: What? What, you think we're too old?Man 2: Oh, no. You're not thinking..Man 1: And why not? It looks like fun! Why should we sit here while everyone else is having a great time?Man 2: If you start dancing to this music, you're going to make a fool out of yourself.Man 1: Hmm. That's what you think.Man 2: Anyway, who would you dance with?Man 1: Oh? Is that a challenge?Man 2: Oh, no. Woman: Hey, there. Want to dance?Man 1: Uh,...why...why, yes, I would, young lady. (turns to Man 2) Uh, excuse me. It's been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I've got to go.Third conversationWoman 1: Mmmm,...this is delicious. I love stuffed grape leaves.Woman 2: Ummm. Me, too. It all tastes delicious. Do you think they made all this themselves? Or did they have it catered? Woman 1: Oh, no. George is a great cook. Why would they cater it?Woman 2: Really?Woman 1: Oh, yeah.Woman 2: George cooks?Woman 1: You didn't know that? Lynn's always saying that's half the reason she married him!Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He completely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen.Woman 1: You know, my husband's talking about signing up for an Italian cooking class on Saturdays. Oh, I hope he does it. Woman 2: Oh. I wonder if I could convince my husband to do that. I'd sure love being the taste tester for his recipes. Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I'll let you know when the class starts.Woman 2: Great! Please do. In the meantime, I think I'll go mention it to him. Talk to you soon.Woman 1: OK. Bye.Unit6: Lesson B: ListeningNicole: I got some incredible news over the weekend!Man: Yeah? What happened?Nicole: Well, my sister is finally getting married.Man: Really? Well, that is exciting! How long have they been seeing each other?Nicole: Oh, I mean, it's been over four years. We all knew that they would get married someday, but no one expected it to happen now. And you know what? Yhe funny part is how it happened.Man: Yeah?Nicole: Yeah. OK, listen. They were on a cruise, and one night while they were sitting on the deck of the ship, looking at the stars... Man: Ah,...let me guess. He pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him.Nicole: No, smarty. The other way around. She asked him! She got right down on one knee and proposed.Man: Yeah?Nicole: Yeah! And he was pretty surprised, I think, but of course he immediately said"yes." Listen, they're planning a wedding. I'm going to be a birdesmaid in the wedding, so, you know, I have to buy a dress and then...Woman: Why the long face, Tony?Tony: Oh, I just got some bad news today.Woman: What happened?Tony: Well, you know my job at the design studio?Woman: Yes.Tony: Well,..Woman: Oh, no! Tony: Oh, yes. Today the boss called me into his office and told me they had to lay me off indefinitely. That means as of April thirtieth, I'm out of work. Woman: Oh! Tony: No more job.

Maybe two or three people. On the other hand the wind might blow them away.
