Understanding the Organization of the Text1) Introduction (para 1)It has been proven repeatedly that the various types of behavior, emo tions, and interests that constitute being masculine and feminine are patt erned by both heredity and culture.2) There is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. (para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning proces s.ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positiv e attitudes and go on to higher achievement.iii) Two examples:a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking ove r the class-room discussions and active participation by women students h ad diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been obse rved in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyp ed gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class.ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experi ment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teach er’ assumption. (para 4)i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects o f math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and rea ding skills.ii) Three examples:a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are sup erior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who d evelop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls a nd boys do equally well in reading.3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much w ider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical sk ills, while girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and wi th the desire to be approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the tea cher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its c ontent, and more anxious about being right in their answers than in bein g intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns o ut each sex in its traditional and expected mold.Vocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias 6) deprived7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) Bunit4Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encoura gecreativity in children.2) An important strategy for parents and teachers to follow (para. 2-3)A.

The approach: Combining the basics with the activities where studen ts mustuse their imaginations.B. How to do so: By asking questions and meanwhile praising their ide as andnew thoughts.C. How to facilitate the process: To create an atmosphere in which the re is norisk in being creative-- a place where wild ideas are honored and val ued,never scorned or dismissed.6) Things parents can do at home to encourage creativity (para. 8-10)A. To involve children in decision making.B. To help children to understand the consequences of various decision s.C. To encourage them to talk out loud about things they are doing.

It turns out that his uncle, who died two weeks ago, has left everything to Mike in his will.

However ,Takeshi disagree with her and says that the biggest problem is that there's too much to enjoy in the city. Eventually ,the two friends start arguing about the issues and the reporter leaves. When Takeshi asks Sun-hee where the reporter is going, Sun-hee says she doesn't know and adds "But see? I told you New Yorks were rude."8.Sun-hee conscience is bothering her, because she lied when she told Tara that she couldn't go shopping because she had to prepare for class. The real reason she didn't go was because she hates going shopping with Tara. Claudia tells Sun-hee that if she were really Tara's friend, she would tell Tara the truth. Claudia then tells Sun-hee that friends should always be honest with each other -----without exception! But then Tara walks in wearing a new jacket and asks what Claudia and Sun-hee think of it. Claudia tells Tara that it's beautiful, even though she doesn't seem to like it. Sun-hee just says,"It's you." after Tara leaves the room, it seems that Claudia has changed her mind when she tells Sun-hee,"I suppose there are always exceptions to every rule."。

视听说4 听力原文及答案Unit 1 Leisure activitiesPart 1 listening oneEver wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your ne w tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate histhoughts to the audience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. DPart 1 listening two(The following is an interview from a weekly sports program.) Presenter: Good morning, listeners. Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. BPart 1 listening threeGerry: I've just been to see Gone with the Wind. It was fantastic. Well worth seeing. Have you ever seen it?Judy : No, but I've read the book. I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

Woman: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive. Woman: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britainwould be easier. No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we cantravel round Britain whenever we like. There's no point in wastingour summer holiday here.Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when wego abroad. I hate all that. And it's so confusing.Woman: Oh, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And what's more, I can't speak any of the languages—you know that.It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages. Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: But just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet! Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much. Woman: I'm sorry, Steve. No. I don't fancy another cold English summer. Questions:1.

It seems that theRomans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible?Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have first started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the English began to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until 1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5.

Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hardas you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says, "OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." Suddenly, the guy starts to recite flawless Shakespeare followed by a short pause and an extremely insightful analysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, "Hey, triple my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." The guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have puzzled scientists in all fields.The last guy is so impressed by the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my IQ." The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."The guy says, "No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free." "Please," says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking... It'll change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?"But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, "Done." And he becomes a woman.Keys: 1. F 2. F 3. F 4. T 5.

We both know that many communication specialists believe that gender bias exists inlanguage, culture and society. Do you think this is really so? Dr. Herring: Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin duringchildhood. Children usually play together with other childrenof the same gender, and this is where our conversational styleis learned.Bob White: Can you give some specific examples?Dr. Herring: Certainly. We find that girls use language mainly to develop closeness or intimacy as a basis for friendship. Boys, on thecontrary, use language mainly to earn status in their group.Bob White: But, in communication through electronic devices like e-mail discussion groups, there should be no gender distinction ifwriters' names are not used in the messages.Dr. Herring: One might think so, but in fact, email writing style is more comparable with spoken language, so basic language stylesare still evident.Bob White: I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral!Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because ofdifferent communication and language styles between thesexes.Bob White: How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts to back up this impression?Dr. Herring: Yes. I've done a research project using randomly selected e-mail messages from online discussion groups. I found thatfemales use language that is more collaborative andsupportive such as "Thanks for all your tips on...", "Goodpoint." and "Hope this helps!". Men tend to use moreaggressive or competitive language such as "Do youunderstand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd tothink...".Bob White: How great are these gender differences?Dr. Herring: Males write messages using aggressive, competitive language more than twice as often as females did, while females usecollaborative and supportive language three times as often asmales did. In this study, it is clear that there is a genderdifference in e-mail messages just as in other communicationmedia.Bob White: So the "battle of the sexes" is still with us, even online. Questions:1. According to Dr. Herring, when is children’s conversational style learned?2. Which of the following is most similar to e-mail writing in style?3. Why is there still no equality on the Internet?4. What comparison did Dr. Herring make in her speech?Keys: 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B2.1. language, culture, society, cultural expectations2.2 closeness intimacy, earn status2.3 collaborative supportive, aggressive competitivePart 1 listening threeJohn: Cathy, do you think it's appropriate for females to continuously expect guys to behave in a standard gentlemanly fashion like opening cardoors?Cathy: W ell, I think it would be nice if men could do such things.John: My side of the theory is that we all have to admit that we are living in the world of change. Right? Sometimes the equation changes if the driver is a girl and the passenger is a guy who doesn't drive. So what happens? Should the girl open the door for the guy or should the guy open the door for the girl? Maybe we should just adopt an "open your own door" policy.Cathy: Yes, I agree, John. But...sometimes it's just a matter of courtesy. It doesn't matter who opens the door for whom. Maybe females just should not expect too much. Life isn't a fairy tale after all.John: It's absolutely true. Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth. Rather what I meant was except for the physical and natural differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them.Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out a chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, asmany guys don't do it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of meand went through the door first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold thedoor and not let it slam in my face.John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it forthe people behind me, be it a girl or a boy. I actually had the door slam right in my face a number of times though, when the person walking closely in front of me didn't hold the heavy glass door and let it swing back in my face. Of course, I tried to hold the door, but it was too heavy and too late. But I think it was more embarrassing for him than me as everyone was looking at him, while I was rubbing my squashed nose.Cathy: So being a gentleman does not stop at opening doors. There are many other aspects I believe.Keys:1. T T F F T 2. D A B A BPart 1 listening fourDo you know how you learned to be a woman? Do you know how you learned to be a man? What makes the difference in terms of gender and our roles in society? Even when our physical structures are revealed to be really similar, women and men "tend" to play different roles in society. In an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today, we find a study that reflects how parents of fifteen girl babies and fifteen boy babies differed in their descriptions of their babies. Despite the fact that objective data such as birth length, weight, irritability, etc. did not differ, when the parents were asked to describe their babies, they said that girl babies were softer, littler, morebeautiful, prettier, cuter than boy babies. Based on these facts, we could conclude that parents' attitude is influencing their children.Our parents and later our school, television and the Internet are showing us a whole set of expected behaviors that create our patterns. Thus, a simple cartoon can suggest to children how they are supposed to act. Male cartoon characters are not only more prominent than female characters, but they also portray a broader range of masculine traits. Male characters are powerful, strong, smart and aggressive.Of course roles have been changing over the past decades. Nowadays, women are not necessarily expected to stay home raising their family and supporting their husbands. In the same way, men are no longer expected to be the only breadwinners like they used to be; now women and men share these responsibilities. But traditional roles still have a big influence. Keys:2. F F T T F2.1reflects descriptions 2.2 parents’ attitudes2.3suggest, act 2.4 raising their family, supporting their husbands 2.5used to be, share these responsibilitiesPart 4 Listening 1"Equal" does not always mean "the same". Men and women are created equally but boys and girls are not born the same.You throw a little girl a ball, and it will hit her in the nose. You throw a little boy a ball, and he will try to catch it. Then it will hit him in the nose.A baby girl will pick up a stick and look in wonder at what nature has made.A baby boy will pick up a stick and turn it into a gun.When girls play with Barbie dolls, they like to dress them up and play house with them. When boys play with Barbie dolls, they like to tear their hair off. Boys couldn't care less if their hair is untidy. But for girls, if their hair got cut a quarter-inch too short, they would rather lock themselves in their room for two weeks than be seen in public.Baby girls find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting their faces. Baby boys find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting the walls.Boys grow their fingernails long because they're too lazy to cut them. Girls grow their fingernails long—not because they look nice—but because they can dig them into a boy's arm.Girls are attracted to boys, even at an early age. At an early age, boys are attracted to dirt.Most baby girls talk before boys do. Before boys talk, they learn how to make machine-gun noises.Girls turn into women. Boys turn into bigger boys.Keys: 1. 1 hit 1.2 try to catch 1.3 in wonder 1.4 turn…into1.5 dress, play house 1.6 tear…off 1.7 care less 1.8 lock, in public1.9 painting their face 1.10 painting the walls 1.11 lazy, cut 1.12 dig…into 1.13 boys 1.14 dirt 1.15 talk 1.16 make machine-gun noisesListening 2In order to understand this story, you have to know the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. In this nursery rhyme, the words in the title have no meaning. The rhyme goes like this:Hickory Dickory Dock,The mouse ran up the clock.The clock struck one,The mouse ran down!Hickory Dickory Dock.Here is the story:One day I took my seven-year-old son with me to shop for an electric wall clock for the kitchen and found a whole counter full of them on sale at a discount store. I had trouble deciding which clock to buy. While I held one clock in my hand and looked at another, I asked my son which one he liked better.“The one you’re holding with the mouse in it, Mom,” he said.Before I understood his words, a real, live mouse jumped out onto the counter and ran away. I screamed so loud everyone turned to see what was wrong. I was so embarrassed. I tried to make my way quietly out of the store. Everyone was looking at me. On the way out the door, my delighted son recited Hickory Dickory Dock. What a naughty boy!Questions:1.Where did the story take place?2.Why did the mother ask her son which clock he liked better?3.Which clock did the boy like best?4.Why did the mother feel embossed?5.Why did he boy recite Hickory Dickory Dock?Keys:2. B 2. D3. A4. C5. DListening 3Men, it is said, are generally more aggressive than women and enjoy taking risks. They play fighting games and enjoy "dares". More men than women are convicted for crimes, especially crimes of violence.Some say that this is simply a matter of biology; others suggest that it is a function of the way we organize the sex and gender roles in our society. In fact, many of the findings, in this area, have turned out to be unsatisfactory,。

3. What kind of friends do you think are true friends?
I think true friends are those who take you as part of their life and are willing to lend you a hand whenever you need it. True friends wouldn't try to count the gains and losses with you. They share everything from sorrow to happiness with you. But they will also give you room for yourself, instead of asking you to do only what he wants. When you make up your mind to do something, they will always be supportive and point out your errors when they see them in you. So let's keep in mind the saying: "A

Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your ne w tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate histhoughts to the audience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. DPart 1 listening two(The following is an interview from a weekly sports program.) Presenter: Good morning, listeners. Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

After the wedding, there is a big party—a wedding reception. All the guests eat dinner. There is a band and, after dinner, everyone dances. Sally's mother and father pay for everything. At the end of the reception, Sally andher new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house. After moving in, they invite their friends and family to a party—a housewarming party. Everybody comes to see the new house. They look at the bedrooms, the dining room, even the garage.

So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes, others stay for 3 hours. About fifty people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party.

And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30. Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK fora beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me giveyou a schedule.Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class?

Woman: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun! Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive. Woman: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britainwould be easier. No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we cantravel round Britain whenever we like. There's no point in wastingour summer holiday here.Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when wego abroad. I hate all that. And it's so confusing.Woman: Oh, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And what's more, I can't speak any of the languages—you know that.It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages. Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: But just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet! Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much. Woman: I'm sorry, Steve. No. I don't fancy another cold English summer. Questions:1. Where does the man want to spend the summer holiday?2. According to Steve, what is considered important in planning vacation?3. What does Steve find confusing about traveling abroad?4. What will help Juliet in her work?5. What does Juliet think of summer in Britain?Keys:1. C2. B3. D4. C5. BListening 3The game of football may have started in Roman times. It seems that theRomans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible?Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have first started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the English began to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until 1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5. CListening 4In one town, there were three longtime friends, Pat, Mike and Bob. Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hardas you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says, "OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." Suddenly, the guy starts to recite flawless Shakespeare followed by a short pause and an extremely insightful analysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, "Hey, triple my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." The guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have puzzled scientists in all fields.The last guy is so impressed by the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my IQ." The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."The guy says, "No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free." "Please," says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking... It'll change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?"But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, "Done." And he becomes a woman.Keys: 1. F 2. F 3. F 4. T 5.

We both know that many communication specialists believe that gender bias exists in language, culture and society. Do you think this is really so? Dr. Herring: Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin duringchildhood. Children usually play together with other childrenof the same gender, and this is where our conversational styleis learned.Bob White: Can you give some specific examples?Dr. Herring: Certainly. We find that girls use language mainly to develop closeness or intimacy as a basis for friendship. Boys, on thecontrary, use language mainly to earn status in their group.Bob White: But, in communication through electronic devices like e-mail discussion groups, there should be no gender distinction ifwriters' names are not used in the messages.Dr. Herring: One might think so, but in fact, email writing style is more comparable with spoken language, so basic language stylesare still evident.Bob White: I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral!Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because ofdifferent communication and language styles between thesexes.Bob White: How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts to back up this impression?Dr. Herring: Yes. I've done a research project using randomly selected e-mail messages from online discussion groups. I found thatfemales use language that is more collaborative andsupportive such as "Thanks for all your tips on...", "Goodpoint." and "Hope this helps!". Men tend to use moreaggressive or competitive language such as "Do youunderstand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd tothink...".Bob White: How great are these gender differences?Dr. Herring: Males write messages using aggressive, competitive language more than twice as often as females did, while females usecollaborative and supportive language three times as often asmales did. In this study, it is clear that there is a genderdifference in e-mail messages just as in other communicationmedia.Bob White: So the "battle of the sexes" is still with us, even online. Questions:1. According to Dr. Herring, when is children’s conversational style learned?2. Which of the following is most similar to e-mail writing in style?3. Why is there still no equality on the Internet?4. What comparison did Dr. Herring make in her speech?Keys: 1. C 2. B 3. A 4.

Right? Sometimes the equation changes if the driver is a girl and the passenger is a guy who doesn't drive. So what happens? Should the girl open the door for the guy or should the guy open the door for the girl? Maybe we should just adopt an "open your own door" policy.Cathy: Yes, I agree, John. But...sometimes it's just a matter of courtesy. It doesn't matter who opens the door for whom. Maybe females just should not expect too much. Life isn't a fairy tale after all.John: It's absolutely true. Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth. Rather what I meant was except for the physical and natural differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them.Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out a chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, asmany guys don't do it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of meand went through the door first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold thedoor and not let it slam in my face.John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it for。

By definition, success may mean, but is not limited to: (1) a level of social status; (2) the achievement of an objective/goal; (3) the opposite of failure. So different people may have different standards for success. Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Einstein and Newton are all successful people in my eyes. They are successful because they are famous and they have made great contributions in their own fields. For other people, success is a process in which

Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

After the wedding, there is a big party—a wedding reception. All the guests eat dinner. There is a band and, after dinner, everyone dances. Sally's mother and father pay for everything. At the end of the reception, Sally andher new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house. After moving in, they invite their friends and family to a party—a housewarming party. Everybody comes to see the new house. They look at the bedrooms, the dining room, even the garage. Pete and Rose serve drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. The party is on a Saturday afternoon.It is Christmas time. Ted and Sarah Robinson want to see many of their friends over the holiday. So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes, others stay for 3 hours. About fifty people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party. They don't serve much food, just snacks—pretzels, chips, peanuts and many types of drinks. No one dances. Conversation is important with people asking questions like "What's new with you?".。

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process.ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii) Two examples:a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking over the class-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in lawand medical school classrooms in recent years.B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys inclass.ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher’ assumption. (para 4)i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math andscience while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii) Three examples:a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who developreading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys doequally well in reading.(3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, whilegirls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to beapproved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right in theiranswers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditionaland expected mold.V ocabulary1. 1) genetic2) assign3) noticeably4) approved5) Bias6) deprived7) constituted8) participation9) unintentional10) postgraduate2.conscious- unconsciousencourage- discouragedirectly- indirectlysexist – nonsexistdependent- independentpositive – negativesuperior - inferiorbiased – fairlimited – unlimitedappropriately- inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out2) carry over3) calling on4) put away5) fallen behind6) take overUnit 4 CreativityWord Building (P 141)1. confuseA.

Is It Fun to Take Risks?Johnny: Hey Mom, is it OK if I go rock climbing with my friends?Mom: No way! Do you realize how dangerous it is? It's not that easy to do either.Dad: Y our Mom is right. I mean, it's far too difficult and dangerous to go rock climbing. Y ou need specialized instruction.Johnny: But I did have some specialized training a couple of months ago. Remember that climbing course I did? Now I'd like to try it out and climb on a real rock face.Mom: I know. But the thought of you and your friends climbing on steep rock faces is just too scary for words.Johnny: But, Mom, I don't have to climb to the top. The rocks aren't slippery. They have holes and cracks, and lumps and ribs where it's easy to get a good hold.Lily: Sounds cool!Mom: I know, but can't you do something less dangerous instead of rock climbing? Johnny: But, Mom, I like rock climbing more than any other sport I've tried. Don't you think we all need to take some risks sometimes? It's part of growing up, and it's fun to try new things. Haven't you always said that we should expand our horizons and push ourselves to the limit? Mom: Y es, but not by rock climbing! As your parent I need to think about your safety. I want to help you make good choices and avoid the risk that can kill you. Definitely not rock climbing! It's too risky! I want you to evaluate risks and make good, safe choices.Lily: OK, Mom, it's OK to take some risk. It can be fun. There's even a poem in my English book about how to take risk. Uh, would you like to hear it? It goes like this:To laugh is to risk being a fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out to another is to risk involvement.To express feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair.To try is to risk failure.The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.They may avoid suffering and sorrow,But they simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.Risks must be taken because,The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."Only a person who risks is free."Don't you all think it's a good poem?Johnny: Sure is! Thanks for reading it, Lily. Don't you think we're always taking risks no matter what we're doing? Even when you are drinking water, you have the risk of choking. And when you're driving, you have the risk of having an accident. But, you drive anyway and you know it'sMom: Sure, there are some risks we need to take. We all know that some things are riskier than others, but not every risk is worth taking. Y ou need to think about what could happen to you. Johnny: I agree, but nothing we do is completely safe. And I've often heard you say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Besides, rock climbing isn't as dangerous as it seems if you have the right equipment and good training. We wear special shoes when we go climbing. Climbing-shoes are very flexible and fit around the feet tightly. Besides, I won't climb the difficult rock.Lily: On TV I've seen that climbers use some metal hooks to help them climb more safely. Johnny: Y es, the hooks are put in place and secured by the first climber, and then they stay there for the other climbers to be able to climb safely. (He turns to his Dad.) Dad, what do you think about climbing?Dad: Well, how many of you are going? Do you have a guide, or even an instructor? Johnny: Y es, there'll be an instructor with us, and there'll be about 10 of us climbing.Dad: To be honest, this conversation reminds me of, uh, my childhood, my parents being protective of me.Mom: Isn't that what parents should do—protect our children?Johnny: Mom, I know you love me, and I am very thankful for that. But I'd like to make my own decision about rock climbing. I've been wanting to go climbing for a very long time now. It isn't much different from the climbing I've done during my training, and I've learned that I can do it safely. I don't mind taking some risks! It's like what the poem says: The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Y ou've already admitted that driving a car is a risk, but you still do it, and you enjoy it.Mom: I'll admit that. I know your Dad's always taking risks.Dad: Me? What risks do I take?Mom: Y ou smoke almost a pack of cigarettes a day. Don't you think you're risking having a heart attack, lung cancer or whatever?Dad: Don't get me involved. We are talking about Johnny and rock climbing!Johnny: I think Mom's right about the risk of smoking. The important point is whether you think the risk is worth taking. Just like Dad, he knows smoking will harm his health, but he still won't give it up. I don't think rock climbing is as risky as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.Lily: Even if you stay at home, doing nothing, you still have the risk of fires, earthquakes, and tornadoes...Mom: OK, OK, I give up. Just be careful. Do what your instructor has to say. Stay close to the rest of your group. I don't want you to get injured. OK?Johnny: Don't worry, I'll be very careful. We'll all be careful. Thanks Mom. Y ou are the greatest!(He winks at Lily.)LS-11. 3-5-6-8-10Husband:Oh! It's unbelievable!Wife:What's the matter?Husband:This article says that lifespans vary according to race, income level and whether you are male or female. Er, now, can you guess which is the most important factor?Wife:Mm, I think it might be the sex.Husband:That's right! Y ou see, my grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa. Generally speaking, women live longer than men. In 1993, the average lifespan of women was 6.9 years longer than that of men in the United States.Wife:6.9 years?! I can't believe it. Then how about race?Husband:Race... The paper says white women live 5.1 years longer than black women.Wife:So this means I am doubly lucky since I am a white woman.Husband:Y es. But actually the largest risk you could run—after being born male—is being poor. Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking, drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.Wife:That's true. If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions, good medical care and good nutrition. But still I have a question. Why can women live longer than men?Husband:I think you'd better ask the experts.LS-21. NYNYYThe possibility that something bad will happen is a risk. Risk can also be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunity. All risks have possible negative results. However, some risks are worth taking. For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school team. Y ou risk a possible injury while playing to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team. Y ou may decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the risk of injury. By being fit, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.How can we determine the risks involved in an action? Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied. These risks relate to choices made of activities or behavior that influence one's health either positively or negatively and scientists use statistics to measure these risks. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that helps determine the possibility that something will occur. The information about the possibility is called statistical risk and can help you make healthy choices. For example, statistics indicate that in the United States the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent. In other words, two out of every ten deaths are due to some kind of c ancer. Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high. However, statistics also show that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over which you have some control. In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancer. These include such things as avoiding pollution, not smoking, and eating a diet high in fiber. If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.ML-11.A-H-C-L-E-G-I-N-J-F-K-M-O-B-D2.BDDABIf you plan to go hiking in the wilderness or a national park, make sure you are prepared. A compass, a knife, and maps are essential items to take with you. Y ou should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case, some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit, and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from. Then go back that way.If you can't find the trail, try to explore the area, marking your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. Y ou may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until morning. Even a full moon won't give you enough light, and it can throw shadows that hide dangers.If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. Y ou can also use bright colors, shiny metals or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.ML-21.BCCDB2.5-7-3-1-4-6-2I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Another time, I was flying over the mountains when suddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was lying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot. Questions:1. What is the speaker?2. What does the speaker mean by "I was flying a bomb, not a plane"?3. How did the speaker feel when flying a plane carrying a lot of dynamite?4.

Four days later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner the Andrea Doria left Italy. The Andrea Doria was also traveling to New Y ork. Eight days later this great ship also lay at the bottom of the Atlantic.The sinking of the two huge ships, these two very, very large ships, shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When the Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of the Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world's rich and famous people. In fact, ten American millionaires lost their lives when the Titanic went down. Today millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.Another similarity was that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and acts of evil. Some people acted very bravely, even heroically. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on the Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. The last similarity was that both of these ships were considered "unsinkable". People believed that they would never sink.There are also differences between the great ship disasters. To begin with, the Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic. The Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her 101st transatlantic crossing. Another difference was that the ships sank for different reasons. The Titanicstruck an iceberg while the Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Another contrast was that the Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship, but the Titanic was not equipped with radar. The Titanic had only a lookout. The lookout was able to see the iceberg only moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents was the number of lives lost. When the Titanic sank, more than 1,500 people died. They drowned or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic water. Just over 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident 60 people lost their lives, and about 1,650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on the Titanic was that the ship was considered to be unsinkable and so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats to rescue all the people aboard the ship. The Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship; however, they were able to use only about half of the lifeboats they had because of a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of the Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on the Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting that the wreck of the Titanic was found only in September of 1985.TY-1FFTFTTMrs. Grace Hume is one of the few living survivors of the Tyrone disaster. The ship sailed from Liverpool for New Y ork on the 7th of April 1926. Five hundred passengers were aboard. Only 85 of them survived. Mrs. Hume described the voyage recently for a BBC radio program."The morning we left Liverpool the weather was very pleasant and we were all sure we were going to have a very pleasant voyage. The captain told us it would be warm and calm all the way to New Y ork. I still remember some of the passengers. There was an old lady who was going to visit her son in Boston. And there was a man who was going to start a new life in Canada. They both went down with the ship. The first and second days were very nice. I thought I would soon have a fine suntan. Then, on the second evening, the captain told us that the weather the next day was going to be a bit worse than expected but that it wouldn't last long."It turned very nasty on the third day. I remember someone saying, 'Oh, well, it'll soon be over.' None of us had any idea how bad it was going to get. By the time it was evening, it was really terrible."Everybody stayed in their cabins on the fourth day. The storm was impossible to describe by then. Suddenly I felt a jolt. Then someone started screaming something about a huge leak in the engine room. We all ran up on to the deck. I was sure I would never be able to get in one of the lifeboats. There were too many people fighting over them. I also knew that I would go down with the ship if I stayed any longer because it was going to sink any minute. When I jumped into the water I sank so deep that I was sure I was never going to come up again. Somehow I did and there was a lifeboat in the water near me, only half full. Someone pulled me in."During the night I often thought we were going to sink again or at least die of the cold, but the next morning the storm died down. Then a ship came into sight and we and some people in another lifeboat were rescued."TY-2( Joe Burns is a famous racing-driver. He is being interviewed on a sports program.) Reporter: Y ou've had a very dangerous life, haven't you, Joe? I mean, you've almost been killed several times, haven't you?Joe: Y es. I suppose that's right.Reporter: When was your worst accident?Joe: I'd say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.Reporter: Is that the only time you've been...er...close to death?Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged, but luckily, I wasn't even hurt.Reporter: Y ou must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn't be a racing-driver if you didn't want to be, would you?Joe: I don't know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.Reporter: Really? When was that? During your last race?Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during the rush hour.TY-3CBCDASix days ago, in Russia, a mine was flooded when all the miners were working. And lots of miners were trapped underground. Nobody knew how much air was inside and what the situation was to the trapped miners. Rescue teams tried every way to get some message from the miners, but it seemed in vain. This caused worldwide concerns. The accident was reported by the world media. But to people's great surprise, this morning came the dramatic news. Rescue teams dug 60 meters and had tunneled through. They discovered survivors at part of the mine not flooded. To miners underground those were really anxious moments. They prepared themselves for the worst. Now suddenly they had hope they could see their loved ones again. And then they were brought out of the mine. Exhausted and wounded, they were not strong enough to wave to their relatives or friends. Wrapped with blankets, these survivors were carefully handed over to the ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. However, not everyone survived. One miner was reported to have been found dead, another missing.Questions:1. Where did the accident happen?2. What caused the mine's accident?3. What can we learn about the rescue teams?4. Which of the following statements is true of the miners?5. How many miners became the victims of the accident?。

He hired a group of engineers to study the situation. They suggested two solutions:1.adding more lifts of the same type;2.replacing the lifts with faster ones.The manager decided that both suggestions were too expensive・ So he asked a psychologist to study the problem. The psychologist noticed that many people felt angry and impatient because they thought they had to wait too long for the lifts. However, the psychologist found that they had to wait only a relatively short time.

BD3.TFFTTScript:Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural preference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly influence your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, then it's very likely that you will also provide separate bedrooms for your children. In America they train people to want their own private rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many cultures the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a crib near their bed.The areas in the home where people meet also reveal a lot about psychological space needs. Some families cluster, and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little places where family members go to be alone.Although psychological space needs are not determined by economic factors, they sometimes have to be modified a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.Listening II1 1) psychologists 2) influence 3) experimented 4) carrier5) observed 6) normal7) 10 percent of the passers-by helped the non-handicapped man, and 15 percenthelped the man with a cast.8) set up a similar experiment in a situation where the subjects couldn't leave.2 1) A student volunteer 2) experiment 3) same 4) books 5) 75 6) 37.57) distracting 8) notice 9) respond 10) further annoyed 11) thenoise 12) help out.Script:Two recent studies by psychologists suggest that noise can influence how nice we are to others. They experimented by giving people a chance to help someone in trouble. A person would see a man carrying two boxes filled with books. As the person came closer, the book carrier dropped several books. The other researcher observed whether the passer-by offered to help.When the noise level was normal, 20 percent of the passers-by helped. When the experimenter wore a cast on his arm, 80 percent offered help・But when a very noisy lawnmower was nearby, 10 percent of the passers-by helped the non-handicapped man, and 15 percent helped the man with a cast.It seemed that people were less helpful when it was noisy because they wanted to escape the noise. So the researchers set up a similar experiment in a situation where the subjects couldnl leave.A student volunteer waited in a room before being called for an experiment he expected. The experimenter waited in the same room, holding some books. He dropped the books. The noise level in the room varied from normal to loud; 75 percent of the 52 students helped pick up the books under normal conditions, but only half that many volunteered when the room was noisy. Perhaps because of the distracting noise, the students didn't notice and respond quickly to the book-dropping. Or perhaps the book-dropping further annoyed the students already irritated by the noise, making them less likely to help out.Listening III11-5 C ACAB21) identify personalities 2) achievement 3) parties 4) center 5) crowd 6) getting along with 7)friendly, caring 8) planned 9) structured 10) a few friends 11) a big groupScript:(Three students, Janice, Sue, and Kelly, are looking at magazines in the library and commenting on some articles they see J)Janice: I think Ive seen everything now!Sue: What do you mean?Janice: Have you ever heard of psycho-geometrics?Sue: No.Janice: I hadn't either.

After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!", they pushed one ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again.The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own.The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty.As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!" One ticket appeared under the door.Questions:1.

I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone.One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, "Come on, you can do that."You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel. I was so happy that I almost cried. I managed to hit the ball and I think I thanked the young man, but I'm not sure.I have never forgotten his kind words of encouragement. He probably doesn't even remember what he said to me or how much his kindness meant to me. Whenever things aren't going well, I think of those simple words of encouragement: Come on, you can do that.We often forget that our words can have a powerful impact on other people. Even a simple word—good or bad—can have a lasting effect.Listening 3Ex1: 1 80 2. Caps, sweaters and scarves 3. The elderly lady’s daughter-in-law 4. Because she was blind. 5. 19.6. China7. One8.

There is little I can do except knit and that is why I knit so many caps, sweaters and scarves. Of course, I can't write, so my daughter-in-law is writing this letter for me.I know a little bit about the work you are doing. At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to work asa missionary to China. For 40 years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China. We had two sons, only one of whom is still alive. After 40 years, my husband's health began to fail. We moved back to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York. When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law.The second part:What I most wanted to say is this. For 60 years I have been making up missionary packages of clothing, food, medicine, or books. I have sent them to various parts of the world. Sometimes I have received a printed slip of acknowledgement, sometimes nothing. Never before in all these years have I had a personal letter describing the village and telling me who are wearing the clothing and what they said. I never thought that in my lifetime I would receive a letter like that. May God bless you.Listening 4Ex1: 1 misunderstanding, 2 lump, 3 5/five, 4 cancer, 5 fineEx2: T F F T T FScripts:Interviewer: You experienced a misunderstanding when you worked in Singapore, didn't you?Carol: Mmm, yes—quite a few, actually.Interviewer: Can you tell us about one, then.?Carol: Um, well, I had this red lump on my left leg. One night the pain was really bad and I became scared. So the next day I went to the hospital and they cut out the lump and stitched me up. Then I heard the doctor say to his assistant, "Get it to the lab for tests right away." I was told to return in five days to have my stitches out and get my result. However, for some reason, I got the days mixed up and missed my appointment! It was a day late! Interviewer: Go on...Carol: I phoned up the hospital and the receptionist said the doctor wasn't in, but she'd put me through to his assistant. Oh, my heart was pounding by this time and my mouth was all dry.Interviewer: With stress?Carol: Yes. I was really nervous. Anyhow, the assistant said "OK" and told me to hold on while she got my card.When she returned to the phone she said, "I think you'd better come in and talk to the doctor in person." Oh, I was so shocked.Interviewer: Oh dear!Carol: "Why?" I asked. "Is there anything wrong?" There was a long pause. "Well," she said. "The doctor will tell you about the treatment." So...there's me thinking: Oh my God, this is it. I've got cancer. I felt sick quite literally "So when can I talk to the doctor?" I asked. His assistant said she'd get him to call me later that morning. Interviewer: Oh, no, poor you! What did you do?Carol: Oh, I went to work. But I couldn't concentrate or work straight. Every time the phone rang, I nearly passed out. I kept ringing the hospital, but the doctor was late. Eventually, he rang me up. Oh, I was really shaking. He said, "Ms Smith?" I said, "Yes?" "Oh, everything's fine," he said. "No further treatment is necessary." What? I made him say it three times. I said, "So why didn't your assistant tell me that? It would have saved me all this worry!" "I don't know," he said. He did apologize, though.Interviewer: How scary!Carol: Yeah. A couple of days later I got a letter from the hospital with the results of the tests. It said that I'd had some kind of "tumor". I looked it up in a medical dictionary and it explained that it was a benign kind of tumor. I think the assistant must have seen the word "tumor" and immediately thought it meant cancer. That was a day I'll never forget.Further ListeningListening 1A D ABC BScripts:A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.Questions:1. Where did the story take place?2. What happened to two of the frogs?3. What did the other frogs say to the two frogs?4. What happened to the two frogs in the end?5. What made one of the frogs ignore the other frogs' advice?Listening 2D B C B C BOne day Mr. Shull was talking about the power of positive thinking and the power of words. Michael, one of the audience, raised his hand and said, “It’s not because I say good fortune, good fortune, good fortune that I feel better. Nor will saying bad luck, bad luck, bad luck make me feel worse. They’re only words and words by themselves have no power.”Shull replied, “Shut up, you fool! You don’t understand a thing about this.” Michael was stunned, his face became red and he was about to reply, “You, son of bitch!’Then Mr. Shull raised his hand, “Please excuse me. I didn’t mean to upset you. Please accept my most sincere apologies.” Michael calmed down. Some people in the hall murmured; others shuffled their feet.Then Mr. Shull resumed, “There’s the reply to the question you asked me. A few words made you very angry. The other words calmed you down. Now do you understand the power of words?”Listening 3All of us would like our friends to know our 1) moods and our needs instinctively. That rarely happens and never happens 2) regularly. No one will ever be able to 3) meet your needs if they don't know what your needs are. It is true that you take 4) risks when you let your needs be known. You may be turned down and 5) hurt. However, when you are expecting your friends to read your mind and 6) satisfy your needs without your input, you are going to be 7) disappointed and hurt without your friends ever knowing why.This is a common misconception of friendships and even marriages. When asked if he had told his wife he wanted her to ride bicycles with him, one husband said, "Of course I didn't tell her. After all these years of marriage, she 8) should know!" The sad thing is she will probably never know 9) unless he tells her. So, tell your friends what you want and what you need. Otherwise you will be 10) stuck in a relationships that can never grow to be "best friends".Listening 4TTFTFTTFTFScripts:My friend used to commute to work daily on a train. After getting off the train, he always walked the short distance to his office building. Every morning, he passed an old man who was always at then same spot with a cup in hand, hoping to get a bit of change from passers-by. For most people, this person was someone to be ignored as if he didn’t exist. But my friend would always say good morning to him and bid him have a good day. The stranger would smile back, say good morning and remain until all the commuters had gone on their way.Occasionally, my friend would drop a dollar or two in his cup on his way as he said hello. This behavior went on for several years until one day, his last day on the job before retirement. My friend stopped for a few moments to talk with this man. He told the man that he would no longer be passing by because this was his last day on the job. The man took his hand and shook it warmly saying that he had always looked forward to seeing my friend pass his way, not because he dropped a few dollars in his cup. He said he would miss my friend because he was one of the few people out of thousands who ever said hello when passing him by. And he was the only one who ever bid him have a good day. The man also said that his warm words always brightened his day and helped him to continue on despite being ignored by thousands of others who saw him daily.。

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. All the recordings will be played once only. After you hear a question, please choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneQuestions 12 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: Good afternoon and welcome to Flight 345, service to Los Angeles International Airport. We appreciate your full attention to this important safety announcement. This 747 aircraft is equipped with four emergency exits, two in the front of the plane and two in the back. Be sure to identify the nearest exit to you, which may be behind you. If the plane should lose pressure, an oxygen mask will drop from the compartment above your seat.Passenger seat cushions on this aircraft may be used as a flotation device and detailed instructions may be found on the safety information card in the seat pocket in front of you. Smoking is not permitted at any time while on board this aircraft. The following electronic devices may not be used during takeoff or landing: portable compact disk players, portable computers, and cellular phones which should be in the off position. Now in preparation for takeoff, please fasten your seatbelt, return your seatback and tray tables to the full upright and locked position. Your carry-on luggage must be put in the overhead compartments or underneath the seat in front of you. On behalf of all Mar Vista Airline employees, we'd like to thank you for selecting us today. We hope you enjoy your flight.12.A) Flight 747.B) Flight 345.C) Flight 354.D) Flight 435.Script: What is the flight number?正确答案： B13.A) An oxygen mask will drop from the compartment above the seat.B) The seat belt will be fastened.C) The luggage will be dropped.D) The compartment will be damaged.Script: What will happen if the plane should lose pressure?正确答案： A14.A) Portable compact disk players.B) A laptop.C) A mobile phone.D) A watch.Script: Which of the following devices may be used during takeoff or landing? 正确答案： DPassage TwoQuestions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: Some good news from the world of advertising? Well, yes. Because ads for nicotine patches and other ways to quit smoking actually do work — and they work even if you don’t buy the product being advertised.That’s the finding of a study to be published by Cornell researchers in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Political Economy in 2011. Because although some people who saw ads did buy the products being advertised, it seems that just seeing the ads convinces other people第3/7页to try to quit, regardless of how they do it. The phenomenon of influencing consumers beyond the advertised method is known as the spillover effect.A 2006 study by the same authors found that consumers see more ads forover-the-counter-stop-smoking products than for those available only by prescription. Over-the-counter-stop-smoking aids are more heavily advertised. So if more products were available over the counter, there would presumably be more advertising, which in turn could lead to a lot more former smokers, regardless of how they stop.15.A) Seeing ads for ways to quit smoking can help people to stop smoking.B) Nicotine patches do not work for those who want to quit smoking.C) People can be convinced to quit smoking.D) Spillover effects cannot be useful.Script: What is the passage mainly about?正确答案： A16.A) Counter effects.B) Authority effects.C) Spillover effects.D) Peer pressure effects.Script: What is the phenomenon of influencing consumers beyond the advertised method known as?正确答案： C17.A) In 2011.B) In 2010.C) In 2007.D) In 2006.Script: When was the earlier research done?正确答案： DPassage ThreeQuestions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law Monday bill regulating the nation's tobacco industry. The bill gives the federal government the ability to regulate the production and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Decades after the dangers of tobacco first became known, the strongest anti-smoking legislation in U.S. history has been signed into law by the President.The measure does not criminalize tobacco or limit the availability of tobacco products to adults. But it will have a big impact on the way cigarettes are produced and sold —particularly to young people. President Obama says protecting children is what the bill is all about."Each day, 1,000 young people under the age of 18 become new, regular, daily smokers," he said. "And almost 90 percent of smokers began at or before their 18th birthday." The president says he knows the problem too well."I was one of these teenagers, and so I know how difficult it can be to break this habit when it's been with you for a long time," he said. "And I also know that kids today don't just start smoking for no reason. They're aggressively targeted as customers by the tobacco industry."For the first time, a government agency — the Food and Drug Administration or FDA — will have the authority to regulate tobacco products.Mr. Obama noted that under the new law, the FDA can ban certain substances in cigarettes and restrict the marketing techniques used by tobacco companies.第4/7页"It will curb the ability of tobacco companies to market products to our children by using appealing flavors," he said. "It will force these companies to more clearly and publicly acknowledge the harmful and deadly effects of the products they sell." The President signed the legislation at a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden surrounded by members of Congress and representatives of health advocacy groups —including three children from an organization called "The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids."18.A) A bill gives the federal government the ability to regulate the production and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products.B) A bill advocates anti-smoking campaign.C) A bill allows FDA to ban cigarette production and stop the advertisement on smoking.D) A bill forbids the young people to smoke in the public.Script: What did President Obama sign into law?正确答案： A19.A) FDA can now ban smoking.B) FDA has the power to regulate tobacco products.C) FDA can decide on the sales of tobacco.D) FDA can choose the advertisement of cigarette products.Script: What authority does the FDA have after the legislation?正确答案： B20.A) It will force these companies to stop advertising cigarettes.B) It will force these companies to more clearly and publicly acknowledge the harmful and deadly effects.C) It will force these companies to reduce their cigarettes’ production and advertising in public places.D) It will force these companies to warn the public and ask the public to quit smoking. Script: What influence will the bill have on companies which produce or sell tobacco? 正确答案： BSection CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes appear to increase the risk of certain common throat and stomach cancers, Dutch researchers reported on Monday.The findings, (21)_________________ at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Washington, underline other health recommendations for people to follow a healthy lifestyle and drink and smoke only in (22)_________________ ."It appeared that current smokers have the highest risks, and former smokers have an (23)_________________ risk compared with never smokers," Jessie Steevens, an epidemiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, said in a statement.
