She first painted only to enjoy herself, and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939, a collector, Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses’ works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.Grandma Moses died on December 13, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world famous.参考答案:1-5 AABCB 6-10 BCACC11-15 CBACB 16-20 CAABA21-25 CDCBA 26-30 BBDBC31-35 ACACB 36-40 DBCDA41-45 CDBAB 46-50 ACCDB51-55 ABACD 56-60 CABDB61-65 BCEAD66.

Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIAA Comparison Between Western and Holistic MedicineWestern medicine1. treating patients as a series of isolated partsHolistic medicinetaking into account the symptoms, age, habits, emotions and lifestyleWestern medicine2. looking at the part which isn't working wellHolistic medicinebuilding an overall pictureWestern medicine3. trying to remove symptoms, not the causeHolistic medicinetreating the cause of illnessWestern medicine4. using drug and surgeryHolistic medicinepreventing illness -- balanced diet & healthy lifestyleB1.(T)2.(F)3.(T)4.(T)5.(F)6.(F)P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach. But what is it What does holistic mean I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.a system of medicine in which a disease is treated by giving extremely small amounts of a substance that causes the diseaseW: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them.P: And how does that differ from a more western approachW: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and surgery can remove the symptoms ...P: But what's wrong with that Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any moreW: Yes, but as I said, the cause remains. If you have a backache, painkillers will take away the pain, but there's still something wrong somewhere that caused the backache in the first place.P: So what does the holistic approach think about illnessW: Well, it takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the age, habits, emotions and lifestyle of the individual, and tries to build an overall picture. You see, being healthy means there is a balance, or a harmony, between your mind and your body. When you're ill, it's because there's an imbalance somewhere, and this imbalance is shown by symptoms. The symptoms themselves aren't very important. For example, two people suffering from headaches might be given very different treatment, because the cause of the headache is not the same. P: You mentioned treatment. If holistic medicine doesn't prescribe drugs, how does it treat illness W: It's important to understand that what holistic medicine tries to do above all is prevent illness, and we all know that prevention is better than cure. A good diet, with lots of fresh food, not processed food with its preservatives and chemicals is essential; and a healthy lifestyle, without too much pressure and worry, and lots of exercise and rest, not too much, not too little -- these are things that will prevent illness.Statements:1.More and more people are moving away from western medicine to holistic medicine.2.Western medicine is good for a mechanic while repairing a car.3.The cause of a backache is more important than the symptom itself.4.According to the holistic approach,when one is ill,it means there is an imbalance somewhere in him.5.If there are two people suffering from a headache,holistic medicine will treat them in the same way.6.The prevention of an illness is much easier than curing it.。

Unit 5 AthletesPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening II'm Ted. Well, I've been playing it since I was quite young. My father was very keen on it and he used to give me lessons. We didn't have to go far to play, so we used to play together quite a lot. Unless you have to join a club, it's not an expensive sport. You just need a racket and some balls. When I was in university, I played for an hour or so every morning. Sometimes it was not easy for us to book a court because it was so popular. For most people, i t’s great exercise and requires a lot of energy. Of course, you have to be fit, as it demands a lot of running and speed around the court. Usually, there’s not a lot of standing around; one is constantly moving. But that’s why it’s a sport I like to play and watch so much.I'm Mike. I think I've been playing it for nearly 40 years now, ever since I was a little kid. It has always been a great interest of mine. When I watch a game, I appreciate the athletic skills of the players: the strategies of the manager or coach; and the excitement of the uncertainty. I enjoy not knowing how the game is going to end, even when a very strong team is playing against a very weak team. There's always that possibility of surprise, and of the unexpected changing the game.I'm Lisa. Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday for as long as I can remember. I love doing it because you can get better every time. It's fast and exciting and although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous. But apart from getting hurt occasionally, I still thoroughly enjoy it.1. 1) tennis 2 ) quite young 3)soccer 4) a little kid 5) nearly 40 years6)skiing 7) remember2. tennis 1, 5, 7 football/soccer 2, 9, 10 skiing 3, 4, 6, 8Listening IIDuring the 1930s and 1940s, when someone asked a kid whom his role models were, he would often respond with the names of baseball players. Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players played baseball because they loved the game. They rarely complained about money. And they earned very little in comparison with players today.Most players back then were also positive role models both on and off the field. They did a lot of things for the neighborhood, from visiting sick children in hospitals to signing autographs—not for the publicity, but just one of the kindness of their hearts. Parents then could be proud when their children said that they wanted to grow up and play major league baseball. Today, however, most baseball players visit hospitals only when they need care, and some of them even charge 20 dollars for their autograph.In the past, players always tried to be positive role models for America's youth. Today, it is a totally different story. It seems that we can't get through a week without some baseball player doing something stupid or illegal.If today’s players would just grow up and stop worrying about who's making the most money, they would start feeling better about themselves; the public would start respecting the game again; and kids could start finding some role models on the baseball field again.1. B D A C2.T T F F F F F T T TListening IIIBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous.I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.1. 1) team spirit 2) A. spend time together B. individuals pressure C. autonomy interfered drop a player2. 1.2.4.6.8.10(√)Listening IVEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy which might otherwise be harmfully deployed. It does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the event will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as if the world really is one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, exist only in a few places. Indeed, it is safe to say, we often suffer more from bad publicity than bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sports people together, but they unite the world’s public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games?

So here is Karen Finch with her report from the Olympic Village.Karen: Well, I have two athletes with me in the studio.

This is your first Olympics, isn't it, Bo?Bo: Yes, it is.Karen: And how do you feel about it?Bo: Happy, very happy.Karen: Let's talk about your training schedule, Bo. I imagine it's pretty hard.Bo: Yes, it is. I get up at five...Karen: Five! And do you start training then?Bo: Well, first I have a cup of coffee then I start training at about five- thirty. You know, it's quite cold at that time.Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo?Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish atabout midday.Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?Karen: Right.Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I go to bed early. I want to win a gold medal for Sweden.Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next we have Bob Smith with me in the studio. Bob's a long distance runner and the American 3000 meterschampion.Bob: Hi!Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm in first-class condition.Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like it. So I start around 10 o’clock.Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o'clock.Karen: Really? So late?Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University.Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.Karen: Don't you have any free time?Bob: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music is really special to me.Karen: Well, thank you, Bob and Bo. Good luck!

They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.1. 1.building snowman2.throwing snowballs3.tobogganing4.ice-skating5.skiing2.

What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now, my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem mighthappen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard tostay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract?Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.1. Male Baseball player 24 Pitcher five to six2. 1.What is the prime career time for a pitcher? C2.

AListening IVLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool, an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered 50 of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about 200 feet high, though it may have been only 20 or 25. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, and then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as 15 feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool has got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Come on."Then he shouted again, "I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great; then I was sinking, then My God! I was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."1. 1.

英语听力教程5U n i t2P a r t2答案及文本-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIAA Comparison Between Western and Holistic MedicineWestern medicine1. treating patients as a series of isolated partsHolistic medicinetaking into account the symptoms, age, habits, emotions and lifestyleWestern medicine2. looking at the part which isn't working wellHolistic medicinebuilding an overall pictureWestern medicine3. trying to remove symptoms, not the causeHolistic medicinetreating the cause of illnessWestern medicine4. using drug and surgeryHolistic medicinepreventing illness -- balanced diet & healthy lifestyleB1.(T)2.(F)3.(T)4.(T)5.(F)6.(F)P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach. But what is it What does holistic mean I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.W: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them.P: And how does that differ from a more western approach?W: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and surgery can remove the symptoms ...P: But what's wrong with that Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any moreW: Yes, but as I said, the cause remains. If you have a backache, painkillers will take away the pain, but there's still something wrong somewhere that caused the backache in the first place.P: So what does the holistic approach think about illness?W: Well, it takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the age, habits, emotions and lifestyle of the individual, and tries to build an overall picture. You see, being healthy means there is a balance, or a harmony, between your mind and your body. When you're ill, it's because there's an imbalance somewhere, and this imbalance is shown by symptoms. The symptoms themselves aren't very important. For example, two people suffering from headaches might be given very different treatment, because the cause of the headache is not the same.P: You mentioned treatment. If holistic medicine doesn't prescribe drugs, how does it treat illness?W: It's important to understand that what holistic medicine tries to do above all is prevent illness, and we all know that prevention is better than cure. A good diet, with lots of fresh food, not processed food with its preservatives and chemicals is essential; and a healthy lifestyle, without too much pressure and worry, and lots of exercise and rest, not too much, not too little -- these are things that will prevent illness.Statements:1.More and more people are moving away from western medicine to holistic medicine.2.Western medicine is good for a mechanic while repairing a car.3.The cause of a backache is more important than the symptom itself.4.According to the holistic approach,when one is ill,it means there is an imbalance somewhere in him.5.If there are two people suffering from a headache,holistic medicine will treat them in the same way.6.The prevention of an illness is much easier than curing it.。

In the factory water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure.The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added.This makes some of water evaporate, leaving very strong coffee liquor.To make instant coffee powder the coffee liquor is poured through largecylindrical driers at a temperature of 250℃. The heat evaporates the liquid leaving instant coffee powder which is collected and put into jars. Granulated coffee is made by freeze-drying. The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat , leaving instant coffee granules.Part 3 NewsNews Item 1The leaders of North and South Korea met this week.

You will hear thepassage only once.Supplementary exercisesTinned Tomato SoupTinned tomato soup is horrible. Why not make your own? It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.You need some onions*, some tomatoes,butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Then chop*the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully--you don't know what sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you? — and cut them into quarters. Then you---I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did I? My book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions,or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions —that's what makes the soup taste good,OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan — or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for three or four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said —you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into the saucepan, and pour insome water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so.

Unfortunately the pair he got didn't fit him at all. They were much mo big. His brother was very keen on swimming so he got him a pairof swimming trunks. They were a size too small, however, and so were much too tight. But that was the last mistake the poor professor made, because while he was picking out a bright pink summer dress for his daughter, she happened to see him in the shop and managed to persuade him that the colour didn't go with the colour of her hair, She was quite relieved to open her Christmas present the next week and find a book on wild flowers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics,1. Wily do you think Professor Smith couldn't buy the right presents for his children?2. Have things of this kind ever happened in your family?。
Unit 5 听力原文及答案
Unit 5 AthletesPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening II'm Ted. Well, I've been playing it since I was quite young. My father was very keen on it and he used to give me lessons. We didn't have to go far to play, so we used to play together quite a lot. Unless you have to join a club, it's not an expensive sport. You just need a racket and some balls. When I was in university, I played for an hour or so every morning. Sometimes it was not easy for us to book a court because it was so popular. For most people, i t’s great exercise and requires a lot of energy. Of course, you have to be fit, as it demands a lot of running and speed around the court. Usually, there’s not a lot of standing around; one is constantly moving. But that’s why it’s a sport I like to play and watch so much.I'm Mike. I think I've been playing it for nearly 40 years now, ever since I was a little kid. It has always been a great interest of mine. When I watch a game, I appreciate the athletic skills of the players: the strategies of the manager or coach; and the excitement of the uncertainty. I enjoy not knowing how the game is going to end, even when a very strong team is playing against a very weak team. There's always that possibility of surprise, and of the unexpected changing the game.I'm Lisa. Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday for as long as I can remember. I love doing it because you can get better every time. It's fast and exciting and although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous. But apart from getting hurt occasionally, I still thoroughly enjoy it.1. 1) tennis 2 ) quite young 3)soccer 4) a little kid 5) nearly 40 years6)skiing 7) remember2. tennis 1, 5, 7 football/soccer 2, 9, 10 skiing 3, 4, 6, 8Listening IIDuring the 1930s and 1940s, when someone asked a kid whom his role models were, he would often respond with the names of baseball players. Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players played baseball because they loved the game. They rarely complained about money. And they earned very little in comparison with players today.Most players back then were also positive role models both on and off the field. They did a lot of things for the neighborhood, from visiting sick children in hospitals to signing autographs—not for the publicity, but just one of the kindness of their hearts. Parents then could be proud when their children said that they wanted to grow up and play major league baseball. Today, however, most baseball players visit hospitals only when they need care, and some of them even charge 20 dollars for their autograph.In the past, players always tried to be positive role models for America's youth. Today, it is a totally different story. It seems that we can't get through a week without some baseball player doing something stupid or illegal.If today’s players would just grow up and stop worrying about who's making the most money, they would start feeling better about themselves; the public would start respecting the game again; and kids could start finding some role models on the baseball field again.1. B D A C2.T T F F F F F T T TListening IIIBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous.I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.1. 1) team spirit 2) A. spend time together B. individuals pressure C. autonomy interfered drop a player2. 1.2.4.6.8.10(√)Listening IVEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy which might otherwise be harmfully deployed. It does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the event will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as if the world really is one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, exist only in a few places. Indeed, it is safe to say, we often suffer more from bad publicity than bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sports people together, but they unite the world’s public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games? C2.What is said about the spirit of the Olympic Games ? B3.What is said about the influence of the Games ? B2. 1. Criticism.2. It could be harmfully deployed, as in war.3.

We live on campus at the University.Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.Karen: Don't you have any free time?Bob: Not much.

They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.1. 1.building snowman2.throwing snowballs3.tobogganing4.ice-skating5.skiing2.

What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now, my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem mighthappen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard tostay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract?Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.1. Male Baseball player 24 Pitcher five to six2. 1.What is the prime career time for a pitcher? C2.

AListening IVLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool, an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered 50 of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about 200 feet high, though it may have been only 20 or 25. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, and then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as 15 feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool has got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Come on."Then he shouted again, "I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great; then I was sinking, then My God! I was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."1. 1.

For the second straight year, i t’s also no.1 on fortune’s best companies to work for list; what’s fueling the growth? Employees say it’s the flexibility, financial security of course, and the opportunity to get things done. “Right now, we are standing in front of just one part of our large 1.6 megawatt solar installation. These are the solar panels that are providing clear electricity to our buildings.” Robyn beavers have been leading the green business and operations can make a positive impact on the environment, but also we can do in a way that makes sense to our bottom line.” Keeping Google green hasn’t always been part of her job description. When I first tarried at Google, I was one of the assistants to the two co-founders Larry page and Sergey Brin. I started in May, 2004, which is right before the IPO of Google. A really interesting thing about Google is that, it always encourages some employees to try new things; I went to Larry and Sergey and proposed that we form a green strategy group. And although I was their current direct report and I would have been inconvenient to lose me. Their INFOL support actually helps me found this team within Google.”“this session is really just a brainstorming session…” mobility within departments is not uncommon. In part because of a 20-percent-time initiative, allowing employees to spend on day a week on a project of their choice. “I talk to a lot of people of Google, and they found that once they started here and you learn so much about the company and there are so many opportunities, they are enc ouraged to seize them, so it’s easy to start in one job, work really hard at it for a couple of years, and then find a new opportunity to pursue.”A brief introduction to Google (which can be found on the internet, if you are interested, you can find more.)IntroductionGoogle is a Web search engine owned by Google, Inc., and is the most used search engine on the Web, related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. Google receives several hundred million queries each day through its various services.Google search was originally developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1997. The Google headquarters, the Googolplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of 30 September 2008 the company has 20,123 full-time employees.History of GoogleGoogle began in January 1996, as a research project by Larry Page, who was soon joined by Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. Their search engine was originally nicknamed "Backrub" because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site. A small search engine called Rankdex was already exploring a similar strategy.Convinced that the pages with the most links to them from other highly relevant web pages must be the most relevant pages associated with the search, Page and Brin tested their thesis as part of their studies, and laid the foundation for their search engine. Originally, the search engine used the Stanford University website with the domain/doc/2f2488862.html. The domain /doc/2f2488862.htmlwas registered on 15 September 1997, and the company was incorporated as Google Inc. on 4 September 1998 at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. The total initial investment raised for the new company amounted to almost US$1.1 million,inc luding a US$100,000 check by Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems.In March 1999, the company moved into offices in Palo Alto, home to several other noted Silicon Valley technology startups. After quickly outgrowing two other sites, the company leased a complex of buildings in Mountain View at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway from Silicon Graphics (SGI) in 2003.The company has remained at this location ever since, and the complex has since come to be known as the Googolplex (a play on the word googolplex). In 2006, Google bought the property from SGI for US$319 million.The Google search engine attracted a loyal following among the growing number of Internet users, who liked its simple design and useful results. In 2000, Google began selling advertisements associated with search keywords. The ads were text-based to maintain an uncluttered page design and to maximize page loading speed. Keywords were sold based on a combination of price bid and clickthroughs, with bidding starting at US$.05 per click. This model of selling keyword advertising was pioneered by /doc/2f2488862.html(later renamed Overture Services, before being acquired by Yahoo! and rebranded as Yahoo! Search Marketing)./doc/2f2488862.htmlwas an Idea lab spin offcreated by Bill Gross, and was the first company to successfully provide a pay-for-placement search service. Overture Services later sued Google over alleged infringements of Overture'spay-per-click and bidding patents by Google's Ad Words service. The case was settled out of court, with Google agreeing to issue shares of common stock to Yahoo! in exchange for a perpetual license.. Thus, while many of its dot-com rivals failed in the new Internet marketplace, Google quietly rose in stature while generating revenue.The name "Google" originated from a common misspelling of the word "googol”, which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb "Google", was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet."A patent describing part of the Google ranking mechanism (Page Rank) was granted on 4 September 2001. The patent was officially assigned to Stanford University and lists Lawrence Page as the inventor.。

It sounds irrational that a person does not know what he himselfthinks before he sees what he says. But as a matter of fact, it is quite truethat unless we have found the exact words to verbalize our own thoughts wecan never be very sure of what our thoughts are; without words, our thoughts cannot be defined or stated in a clear and precise manner.4. “Malapropism” means the unintentional misuse of a word by confusing it with one that resembles it, such as human for humane, singularity for singleness. But the misuse of “imprison” is a different case. It is wronglychosen because the user has failed to recognize its connotation.5. human=of, characterizing, or relating to manhumane=characterized by kindness, mercy, sympathyThus: human action=action taken by man; humane action=merciful action;human killer=person that kills humans ; humane killer=that which kills butcauses little pain6. sensitive, alert7.

She first painted only to enjoy herself, and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939, a collector, Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses’ works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more.

But the task should be undertaken gently.5. Reading should never be made to look like a chore.B. Listen to a talk about reading. Take notes and complete the followingsummary.When should a child start learning to read and write This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teacher’s affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For instance, by a nice piece of cardboard tied to their bed with BED written in neat-big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an appeal should not be ignored. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour.Reading should never be made to look like a chore and the child should never be forced to continue, should his interest start to flag*.KeyA. 1.

CPLPart 2 DialoguesDialogue 1 Digital SoundScriptA. Listen to the dialogue and compare digital sound and analogical sound.[music]Mike: Wow! Nice. CDs have such good sound. Do you ever wonder how they make CDsKathy: Well, they get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play.Mike: Come on. You know what I mean. Why is the sound quality so good I mean, why do CDs sound so much clearer than cassette tapes Kathy: Actually, I do know that.Mike: ReallyKathy: It’s all based on digital sound. CDs are digital. Digital sound is like several photos, all taken one after another. It’s kind oflike pictures of sound. The intensity of the sound — how strong itis —is measured very quickly. Then it’s measured again and ag ain.When we hear the sound, it all sounds like one long piece of sound,but i t’s really lots of pieces close together. And each piece isreally clear.Mike: So digital is like lots of short “pieces” of sound.Kathy: Exactly. This is different from analog* —that’s how they used to record. Analog is more like one wave of sound. It moves up and downwith volume and pitch. Anyway, analog is like a single wave. Digitalis like a series of pieces.Mike: OK, I understand that. But how do they make the CDsKathy: I told you, Mike. They get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play.Mike: Kathy!Kathy: No. What really happens is first they do a digital recording —on videotape.Mike: On videotapeKathy: Yeah, they use videotape. So then the videotape is played through a computer.Mike: OK. What does the computer doKathy: Well, the computer is used to figure out the “pieces” of sound we were talking about; how long everything is, how far apart spacesare.Mike: OK. So the computer is figuring out those separate “pieces” of sound.Kathy: Yeah. They need to do that to make the master.Mike: The masterKathy: The master is the original that all the other CDs are copied from.It’s made of glass. It’s a glass disk that spins around — justlike a regular CD. And the glass disk is covered with a chemical.They use a laser to burn the signal, or the song, into the glass plate.The laser burns through the chemical, but not through the glass.Mike: So the laser cuts the sound into the plateKathy: Right. What it’s doing is cutting little holes into the back of the disk. Those holes are called “pits.” The laser puts in the pits.Mike: So CD s really have little holes on the back I didn’t know that.Kathy: Yeah. Tiny pits. They’re too small to see. Anyway, then they’ve got the master, and they make copies from it. Then you buy your copyand put it in the CD player.Mike: Put it in the CD player ... That part I understand.Kathy: There’s another laser in your CD player. The light of the laser reflects off the CD. The smooth part of the CD reflects straight back,like a mirror. But the light that bounces off the pits is scattered.Anyway, the computer in your CD player reads the light that bouncesoff the pits. And you get the music.Mike: Reflected light, huh ... Uh ... you knew what I like Just relaxing, listening to music, and not really worrying about how it gets on thedisk.Kathy: You want me to explain it again[music]B. Listen to the dialogue again and complete the following outline.C. Listen to an extract from the dialogue and complete the following sentenceswith the missing words.Mike: So the laser cuts the sound into the plateKathy: Right.

What mistake have some companies made when theyused the same ad in a different country or area Complete the following chart.Man: H ere’s one I wouldn’t have thought of. You know those “before and after” commercials for laundry soapWoman: The ones with a pile of dirty clothes on one side and then the same clothes after they’ve been washed Sure.Man: There was an American company that had one of those ads. It was really successful in North America. In the ad there was a pile ofdirty clothes on the left, a box of the laundry soap in the middle,and a pile of clean clothes on the right. So, the message was thata box of this detergent*would make really dirty clothes clean.Woman: YeahMan: So what do you think happened when they used the ad in the Middle EastWoman: I don’t know.Man: Think about it. In the Middle East, languages are written from right to left. People look at things from right to left.Woman: So it looked like the soap made the clothes dirtyMan: “Our soap will make your clothes dirty!” Not a very smart ad campaign.Woman: They should have changed the order of the pictures. They should have put the picture of the clean clothes on the left side and the dirtyclothes on the right.Man: Really. Oh, here’s another one.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questionsyou will hear.Brushing our teeth — such a commonplace activity today, has been aroundfor a long time. Imagine: the ancient Egyptians were already concerned about their dental hygiene! We know this today because they also had the good habit of being entombed* with all their treasures ... So we were able to discover that tombs from 3,000 years before Christ contained small tree branches whose ends had been frayed* into soft fibers. It’s comical to imagine an Egyptian stopping to brush his teeth after a meal, on his break from building a pyramid!The true ancestor of our toothbrush, however, was invented by the Chinese in the 15th century and brought back to Europe by travellers. This toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wild boar which were fixed to a bamboo or bone handle. The people of the Occident*, however, found the wild boar hairs too stiff. At the time, very few people in the Western world brushed their teeth, and those who did preferred horse hairs, which were softer than those of the wild boar! In Europe, it was more customary after meals to use a goose feather toothpick, or one made of silver or copper.Other animals’ hair was also used for dental car e, right up until this century. But it was the poor Siberian wild boar that took the brunt of it. The animal was imported for its neck hairs for a long, long time ... in fact, until nylon was invented, in the 20th century!In 1937, in the Du Pont laboratories in Nemours, ., nylon was invented by Wallace H. Carothers. In 1938, this new material became a symbol of modernism and prosperity through the commercialization of nylon stockings and of Dr.West’s miracle toothbrush with nylon bristles. The wild boars were finally off the hook!At first, even if there were many advantages to using this new brush instead of the one made with wild boar hairs (which fell out, wouldn’t dry very well or became full of bacteria), the consumers were not entirely satisfied. This is because the nylon bristles were very stiff and hurt the gums. In 1950, Du Pont improved their toothbrush by giving it softer bristles.Today the brands, types, and colours of toothbrushes on the market are almost endless. In spite of this, certain African and American populations still use tree branches to care for their teeth!Questions:1. How do we know ancient Egyptians were concerned about their dental hygiene2. What is amusing about the Egyptians3. Who invented the true ancestor of our toothbrush in the 15th century4. Which of the following is not true about the people in the Occident inthe 15th century5. What did people begin to use for dental care in the 20th century6. When were toothbrushes with nylon bristles first made7. What was the fate of the wild boars when D r.

You will hear the passage only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.In these days of jet travel, when a trans-Atlantic journey is a matter ofa few hours only, it is hard to imagine what travel must have been like a centuryor two ago, when the only means of travelling vast distances was by sailing boat.A sailor’s life must have been hard, indeed. Apart from the dangers of lifeat sea, there must have been extreme boredom to contend with*, because eachjourney lasted many weeks.To pass the time, sailors developed hobbies and crafts. Some sailors drew pictures. Others carved things out of wood, or painted. One of the strangest arts that was developed by these sailors of long ago, was the art of puttinga ship into a bottle. And it was an art, because the ships were usuallyfully-rigged*, and stood much taller than the width of the bottle necks through which they had been placed.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageInternet Overtaking TV among ConsumersScriptA. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questionsyou will hear.The Internet is drawing hordes of people away from their television sets but will have to become more like TV if it wants to boost its mass appeal to consumers, computer industry executives say.In any event, the two media are converging rapidly in a trend that will accelerate when digital broadcasting replaces the dominant analog television system around the world.In a recently completed survey by Dell Computer Corporation, customers prefer to be on the Internet than to watch television at home.People predict the distinction between television and the Internet — the global network of computer networks — will soon start to blur.This will lead to customized newspapers and video called up at the touch of a button as a powerful rival to television. This is a slowly adapting marketplace, but broadcast television might diminish.The breakthrough will come when digital broadcasting puts television on the same technological footing as computers.At the point when the television signal that the average person gets is digital, there is tremendous leverage to browsing the Internet model and the digital bits that you see on your screen.To get to the 70, 80, 90 percent kind of market that television has, computer industry has to have a model that looks a lot more like television and a lot more like entertainment than any of us have seen so far. By that time the Internet might crowd out television in the battle for consumers.The consumer is slow to adapt always. You can push the cost down and simplify things, but consumer behavior is very, very difficult to change.On the hardware front, the trend is toward affordable computers rather than high-powered machines. People want to see very simple, low-cost devices. You don’t need the complexity if you just have a limited set of tasks.Questions:1. What is true about the Internet2. What happens to the Internet and TV when the digital broadcasting systemis adopted3. What does the recent survey made by Dell Computer Corporation prove4. What happens when television is put on the same rank as computers bydigital broadcasting5. What will happen when television signal is digital6. What will computer industry do to get to a high percentage of market shares7. What is true in terms of changing consumer behavior8. In terms of hardware, what do consumers preferB. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA. 1. C 2. D 3. A 4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 8. AB. 1. It will have to become more like TV.2. People predict the distinction between television and the Internet willsoon start to blur.3. When computer industry has a model that looks a lot more like televisionand entertainment.4. Yes, it can.5. They want very simple, low-cost devices.Part 2 VideoSmartphone App to Bridge ASEAN Language BarriersScriptWatch the video film and answer the questions.The ASEAN One application will translate about a hundred useful phrases into the 10 languages of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as well as English.The Thai company developing the software, iGnite Asia, says it is aimed mainly at frequent business travelers.CEO Jirath Pavaravadhana says if successful, they will expand the application’s capabilities.“The language would be the main theme, but, apart from language, you would have currencies, directories, map and everything.”Head of marketing Nataphol Pavaravadhana says it will also be a useful tool for students studying a neighboring country’s language.“So we intend to penetrate the market by using the university connection, and another one is government support.”The Thai company says it hopes ASEAN countries promote the application asa tool that can help ASEAN’s goal of forming an economic community by 2015.ASEAN One is expected to be released around June and will be paid for through advertising, making it free for consumers.Key1.

Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIAA Comparison Between Western and Holistic MedicineWestern medicine1. treating patients as a series of isolated partsHolistic medicinetaking into account the symptoms, age, habits, emotions and lifestyleWestern medicine2. looking at the part which isn't working wellHolistic medicinebuilding an overall pictureWestern medicine3. trying to remove symptoms, not the causeHolistic medicinetreating the cause of illnessWestern medicine4. using drug and surgeryHolistic medicinepreventing illness -- balanced diet & healthy lifestyleB1.(T)2.(F)3.(T)4.(T)5.(F)6.(F)P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach. But what is it? What does holistic mean? I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.a system of medicine in which a disease is treated by giving extremely small amounts of a substance that causes the diseaseW: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them.P: And how does that differ from a more western approach?W: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and surgery can remove the symptoms ...P: But what's wrong with that? Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any more?W: Yes, but as I said, the cause remains. If you have a backache, painkillers will take away the pain, but there's still something wrong somewhere that caused thebackache in the first place.P: So what does the holistic approach think about illness?W: Well, it takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the age, habits, emotions and lifestyle of the individual, and tries to build an overall picture.You see, being healthy means there is a balance, or a harmony, between your mind and your body. When you're ill, it's because there's an imbalance somewhere, and this imbalance is shown by symptoms. The symptoms themselves aren't very important.For example, two people suffering from headaches might be given very different treatment, because the cause of the headache is not the same.P: You mentioned treatment. If holistic medicine doesn't prescribe drugs, how does it treat illness?W: It's important to understand that what holistic medicine tries to do above all is prevent illness, and we all know that prevention is better than cure. A good diet, with lots of fresh food, not processed food with its preservatives and chemicals is essential; and a healthy lifestyle, without too much pressure and worry, and lots of exercise and rest, not too much, not too little -- these are things that will prevent illness.Statements:1.More and more people are moving away from western medicine to holistic medicine.2.Western medicine is good for a mechanic while repairing a car.3.The cause of a backache is more important than the symptom itself.4.According to the holistic approach,when one is ill,it means there is an imbalancesomewhere in him.5.If there are two people suffering from a headache,holistic medicine will treat themin the same way.6.The prevention of an illness is much easier than curing it.。

North America/ 90,000 E. city park system F. a business area filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehi cl es pul l ed by horsesTapescript:Denver is the largest city and capital of the western state of Colorado. There’s a marker on the step in the State Capitol Building. Standing there, you are exactly 1.6 kilometers above sea level, one mile high. Denver is known as “the-mile-high city”, but it does not appear to be that high. This is because it is built almost completely on smooth flat land. Denver is the largest city of the Rocky Mountains. Many people believe it is actually in the Rocky Mountains. However, it is about 50 kilometers east of them.The city of Denver has a population of about 470,000 people. This makes it the 26th largest city in the United States. The area around Denver has more than 1,600,000 people. City officials are proud of the fact that Denver receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Storms moving east across the country lose much of their strength in the Rockies. So Denvergets only about 35 centimeters of rain and snow a year. The nearby mountains, however, get a lot more than that.Denver is the business and marketing center for all the Rocky Mountain area. It has more than 1500 manufacturing companies. Food processing is the main manufacturing activity. Other factories make equipment for the defense, space high technology and transportation industries. Gold production is also important. Denver is home to companies that control half the gold produced in the United States.The computer and communications industries have become increasingly important in recent years. Denver has the third highest number of high technology jobs in relation to the population. The area also has become a center for companies that do business in other countries. This is true throughout the western states. In fact, more jobs in the American west are linked to foreign trade in any other part of the country.Tourism is also an important industry in Denver. For example, the Colorado History Museum shows the history of the native American Indians, gold miners and other people who moved to Colorado. The Denver Museum of Natural History shows Indian objects and examples of local wildlife. Many visitors to Colorado and Rocky Mountains use Denver’s new international airport, which opened in 1995. it was the first major new airport built in the United States in 21 years. It cost almost 5,000 million dollars. It is the largest airport in North America, almost 90,000 passengers land at Denver International Airport each day.There is a lot to see and do in Denver. The State Capitol Building is in the center of the city. The top is covered with more than 500 g of gold. On a clear day, a visitor to the Capitol can see for a distance of almost 250 kilometers. 87 years ago, city officials began to purchase land to make sure it would be protected from development. Today, the city owns 8000 hectares. On this land, Denver has built the largest city park system in the nation. Finally, there’s Larama Square. It is a business area that is said to look like Denver of the early 1900s. Larama Square is filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehicles pulled by horses. It is a part of the new Denver that lives in the past.Part V.

Do you think the day will come when tourists can sit in a spaceship to goaround the world or to visit distant planets?4. Do you know any movie that describes the activities of space exploration?Talk about that movie if possible.Sample1. What are the significance/benefits of space exploration?At the end of the 50s of the last century, the United States and the former Soviet Union carried out space competition (注释:centered on lunar exploration), setting off the first space exploration upsurge (高涨). From 1958 to the end of August 1976, the two countries successfully launched 45 lunar probes (探测仪). In July 1969, the American Apollo spaceship realized the first human moon landing, making epoch-making (掀天揭地) achievement in lunar exploration. Through space exploration, esp ecially lunar probing (探索), we have greatly heightening human understanding of the moon, earth and solar systems, propelling (驱使) and bringing about a series of innovations (一系列的创新) and development in basic science, science and technology, forming a large batch (一批) of high-tech industrial groups and producing remarkable social-economic efficiency. 2. What are the potential dangers that astronauts face?There are many potential dangers involved in space ex ploration. Any mistakes or errors made by the spaceship designers and manufacturers would result a catastrophe (大灾难). Remember the explosion of the space shuttle Colombia? JustR e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a othe tiny piece of metal broke off from the surface of the ship and that caused an explosion of it when re-entering the earth ’s atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts on board.Of cause there are other potential for the astronauts, such as weightlessness and harmful solar radiation. We know that long-time exposure to theultraviolet radiationwill lead to development of skin cancer .3. Do you think the day will come when tourists can sit in a spaceship to goaround the world or to visit distant planets?Yes. I think the day will soon come. On April 8, 2004, it was reported that the US government has issued the first license for a manned suborbital (亚轨道) rocket, a step toward opening commercial space flight for private individuals for the first time. The vehicle, named SpaceShipOne, will carry three passengers into space on a test flight. And the fare, I guess, will be less than $10 million.

Background InformationSpace exploration is our human response to curiosity about the earth, the moon, the planets, the sun and other stars, and the galaxies. Manned and unmanned space vehicles venture far beyond the boundaries of the earth to collect valuable information about the universe. Human beings have visited the moon and have lived in space stations for long periods. Space exploration helps us see the earth in its true relation to the rest of the universe. Such exploration could reveal how the sun, the planets, and theR e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a ostars were formed and whether life exists beyond our own world.the space age began on Oct. 4, 1957. On that day, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik (later referred to as Sputnik 1), the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The first manned space flight was made on April 12. 1961.

It was built during the time of the Soviet Union and now is well known as a Russian satellite and spaceship launching siteThe World's First Space Tourist (Part One)On May 6, 2001, Dennis Tito, a 61-year-old California millionaire and former NASA engineer, became the world's first paying space tourist when the Russian space agency launched him and two Russian cosmonauts aboard a rocket for a journey to the International Space Station.Tito and the crew blasted off (发射) from the cosmodrome in Kazakstan on time. Tito appeared calm, wearing a space suit and a smile. The trip by the Russian crew was almost delayed due to concerns expressed by NASA that the space station would get too crowded while an American crew did some necessary computer repairs. Fortunately for Tito, NASA said Friday that it had struck a deal (达成协议) with the Russian Space Agency, allowing him to launch on time without interrupting the American crew's work on the ailing International Space Station.Tito paid the Russian space agency $20 million to fly in space, but Russia's partners in the space station -- especially NASA -- objected, saying his lack of training would require additional safety measures.Tito has been training at the Star City, Russia space center, for a year, learning the details of a Soyuz spacecraft and practicing how to survive a landing in Siberia. Just days before the launch, he proclaimed that he was well prepared. He said, "The training is what counts and I've had a significant amount of training. And that, I think, coupled with my aerospace engineering background, puts me in a very strong position, as far as being able to function in space. "Tito has no duties during the mission. He told reporters: "I'm not a fighter pilot, I'm a businessman, and I want to be able to absorb as much of this experience and relate it to as many people as I can." He said he would take pictures and tell people about the experience upon his return. Tito says his launch aboard a Russian rocket and six-day stay on the International SpaceR e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oStation demonstrates that anyone can -- and should -- experience space.Questions 1.:Listen to the recording and write down short answers to the following questions.1. Where was Tito born?He was a 61-year-old American millionaire and former NASA engineer. 2. When did Tito first become fascinated with space travel? On May 6, 2001.3.

The Russians didn't cut any corners... The Russians didn ’t cut back on any necessary training or lower the requirements for Tito.R e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oThe World's First Space Tourist (Part Two)Dennis Tito is the oldest child of working-class Italian immigrants whose ancestors came from the town of Tito in southern Italy. His father was a printer , and his mother was a seamstress (女裁缝). While growing up in Queens, N.Y ., Tito became interested in space travel. He says he dreamed of space flight when he saw Sputnik launch as a teenager in 1957. Yes, it was Sputnik that sparked his teenage imagination.Tito earned bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering and went to work in 1964 for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. He charted flight paths for NASA's Mariner Mars probes, earning $15,000 a year . But he yearned for more -- more money.Tito founded his own company Wilshire Associates in the early 1970s, using the mathematical intelligence he developed during his NASA career to analyze the stock market instead. His firm produces the Wilshire 500 Total Market Index, which is watched by Federal Reserve officials as an overall snapshot of U.S. stock markets.By age 40, he had made his first million. The millions kept piling up; the investment firm now manages more than $10 billion in assets and advises on $1 trillion in assets. His personal fortune is estimated at $200 million.Tito's passions include opera, sailing and buying fast cars -- but driving them slowly. Most are housed in the eight-car garage of his 30,000-square-footmanor house with ocean views that he built on top of a mountain in Los Angeles. He and his wife, Suzanne, divorced shortly after the house was completed. His three children are in their 20s.With a large disposable income, Tito toyed with the idea of flying to Mir in the early 1990s. The Russians had just sent up a Japanese journalist and a British chemist for cash, and Tito wanted to be the next guest cosmonaut. But the Soviet Union's collapse forced him to put his dream on hold.The space dream came alive again in April 2000, when the MirCorp joint venture called in April 2000, in hopes of keeping Mir afloat.Tito put millions into an account that the Russian space program could access once he was launched to Mir , and went to the cosmonaut headquarters in the Star City, outside Moscow. There, the 5-foot-5, 140-pound, fit-lookingbusinessman threw himself into training. "The Russians didn't cut any corners," he boasted.When Russia decided to sink its 15-year-old space station, officials offered Tito an alternative destination -- the International Space Station, barely 2 years old. Another Soyuz spacecraft was needed at the space station as a fresh lifeboat, and the third, empty seat was offered to him.Tito was thrilled with the change in travel plans. "They're different star hotels," he said of the two space stations.R e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oHe took special delight in launching from the same pad where Sputnik took off on Oct. 4, 1957, and where the world's first spaceman, Yuri Gagarin, took off on April 12, 1961.Tito was the third American to be launched aboard a Russian rocket, but the first to land in a Russian spacecraft. The Soyuz capsule parachutes down into remote Kazakstan.All three of Tito's children were at the Baikonur Cosmodrome for his launch. Tito insisted he was not afraid or even nervous about his flight."If you're going to die of natural causes, does it pay to sit at home and be afraid to cross the street?" Tito said. "The main thing is, I'm not crazy." Questions 1 :Listen to the recording and choose the right answers to each questions you hear.1. Where was Tito born? A. In southern Italy B. In the UK . C .

Questions 2:Listen to the recording again and complete the following statements about Tito’s Personal information.R e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oSpeaking Task (1)You have just heart a story about the world ’s first space tourist, Dennis Tito. What is your opinion of him and his flight? Exchange views with your partner. Reflections:You may wish to cover the following points in your discussion.1. What is special about the space tourist Dennis Tito?2. What is the significance of Tito's f1ying in space?3. What are the prospects of the space tourism?4. What do you think: of Tito's courage to fly in space?Dennis Tito, an American millionaire from California, flew into space at his own expense and became the first space tourist in the world. He stayed in space for six days and then landed in Siberia.Dennis was born into a poor Italian immigrant family. From childhood, he had a dream of flying into space. He worked hard and accumulated a large fortune. Though he was a very successful businessman and could fly to anywhere in the world, he never abandoned his youthful dream -- flying into space. He managed to fulfill his dream at the age of 61. Of course, he had to pay a lot of money to the Russians and endure the hardship of strict space training.We should not underestimate the importance of Tito's flying in space. His trip marked the beginning of a new era in space exploration. As the technology of space exploration has matured, ordinary people now can fly in spaceships if they wish and commercial space travel will probably become popular in the next 20 or 50 years.But still, space travel at present involves danger. The recent breakup of the space shuttle "Columbia" is an example. Any minor mechanical fault or mistake could end in a disaster. Dennis Tito surely knew this danger but he demonstrated an exceptional courage in facing the difficulty and danger. He set a good example not only to his three children but also to all who are pursuing their teenage dreams. Speaking Task (2)R e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oDebatingAs you probably know, china has been conducting research and experiments that are aimed at sending cosmonauts into space. The successful launch and landing of the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou IV has pushed China closer to its goal of manned space flight. Of course, to achieve this goal, China has to spend a huge amount of money estimated at 10 billion Yuan. We all know that China is still a developing country and its education still lags behind that of the developed countries. Many young Chinese are denied chances of receiving higher education because of insufficient educational facilities. So why not use this amount of money to build more universities across the country?Suppose you are the policymakers and you have the right to vote either for the space program or for building more universities, which decision would you make? Give your reasons.Topic: Argument for or against “using our limited resources on the manned space program ” Perspectives:1. From the perspective of supporter of the manned spaceship (for)2. From the perspective of those rejecting the space program (against) DemosFrom the perspective of supporters of the manned spaceship (for)If I were a policy maker, I would definitely support our space program. It ’s significance is manifold(有多种用途的).First, the launch of the unmanned spaceship Shenzhou IV is deemed(认为,相信) a symbol of national prestige(威望). This shows that our country is strong both militarily and economically, and China would become the third nation in the world to achieve manned space flight. The manned spaceship would also inspire Chinese people to love, support and defend our country.Second, the spaceship program requires the development of advanced technology, especially in the manufacturing sector. So it would contribute to the economic growth of our country.Third, the space program is an integrated program. It combines many branches of science, such as medicine, aerospace, genetic engineering, biophysics and even agriculture. Many experiments done on the spaceship would prove the quality of our lives. So the enormous amount of money spent would pay off in the end.From the perspective of those rejecting the space program(against)I don't think it's wise to spend so much money on the space program. There would appear to be no direct link between the unmanned or manned spaceship program and the quality of our daily life. As we all know, China is aR e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a odeveloping country with a large population. We have so many domesticproblems waiting for us to solve and our economy is relatively weak. We cannot compete with the U.S. in space exploration. Besides, education in China lags behind that of the major developed countries. According to some statistic, only about one fifth of youth can receive higher education in China because of insufficient educational facilities. Poverty is still a serious social problem inChina, especially in the western part, which not only deprives many children of opportunities of going to school, but also slows down the process of applying science to production.So why not spend the limited funds available trying to improve the existing educational facilities and to build more universities? If more young people can receive higher education, China would have a better resource of manpower to compete with the U.S. Only science and education will save our country in the long run.Part C Additional ListeningMir's EndMir was a testament to Russian technology. Built to last five years, operational for 13, it's been called an accident waiting to happen, for the space station has survived fires, decompression and problems ranging from mechanical and computer breakdowns to a collision with an unmanned cargo ship.Since its launch in 1986, Mir has been home to over 25 crews from more than a dozen countries. It's been a base for astronomical observations and scientific experiments as well as giving astronauts invaluable experience of long-duration space flight. But Mir's end, though welcomed by many, could affect the pace of future space exploration.Mir really brings to an end, the end of that space race, uh, really closes off space race now. And I think to a certain extent, we won't see the challenge, that ... that competition to push the technology. So I think, we might see the exploration of the space slowing down from now on.Attempts to extend Mir's life by private and commercial funding have failed. So the current crew which includes a French astronaut from the European Space Agency will return inside the Soyuz spacecraft currently attached to Mir .When the last crew leaves Mir , it will be the end of an era. But one final crucial part of the mission is the decommissioning process. An automatic navigational system is already on board for its final descent into the Pacific Ocean next year .Questions 1:R e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oListen to the recording and choose the right answers to each question you hear.1. For how many years of operation was Mir designed to last? A. Five years. B. Eight years. C. Ten years.D. Thirteen years.正确答案:A. Five years.2. What happened to Mir during its flight? A. Some astronauts lost their lives.B. It survived fires, computer breakdowns, etc.C. It ran out of control many times.D. It orbited the earth very smoothly.正确答案:B. It survived fires, computer breakdowns, etc.3. What effect would Mir have if it descended onto the earth? A. It would cause a terrible explosion on the earth. B. It would put the astronauts in danger .C. It would have a bad effect on the pace of future space programs.D. It would explode in the air , affecting many countries.正确答案:C. It would have a bad effect on the pace of future space programs.4. What is the crucial part of Mir's last mission? A. It's about the safety of the last crew.B. It concerns the possible explosion of Mir in a densely populated area.C. It is the final descent into the ocean.D. Efforts are made to save the spaceship.正确答案:C. It is the final descent into the ocean.Part C Leisure Time HumorDogsThere was a man who had two dogs, named "Commonsense" and “Trouble". He always brought his dogs to the park every evening. One day, he only brought Trouble to the park, and left Commonsense at home.While the man was so happy playing Frisbee (飞碟) with his friends, TroubleR e c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a odisappeared. The man quickly became sad and panicky. He looked for his dog everywhere but could not find it.A young lady, wishing to help, asked the man: 'What are you looking for?" The man replied: "I'm looking for Trouble ..." "Pardon ...," said the lady.The man replied in a higher tone, "I am looking for TROUBLE."The lady was annoyed and asked:”Where ’s your COMMONSENSE?” The man, his mind only on his dogs ,answered:”At home ” Part C Additional Listening Movie TimeWatch an excerpt of a film and choose the right answer to each of the following questions.Noteschoose v. 决定 Houston 休斯墩 alloy n. 合金stress n. 应力; 重力 precision n.精确propulsion 提涯,推动 untried a. 未经尝试的 celestial a. 天体的 hazardous a. 危险的elllbark (on) v. 登上{船只等} ,开始For All MankindWe choose to go to the moon.We choose to go to the moon…We choose to go to the moon, in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used … for the progress of all mankind.We shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses。

This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teacher's affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For example, by a nice piece of cardboard tied to their bed with BED written in neat-big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an appeal should not be ignored. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour. Reading should never be made to look like a chore and the child, should never be forced to continue, should his interest start to flag*.Exercise A:1. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike.2. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a classof non-readers at it infant school is the teacher's affair.3. If badly done it could put them off reading for life.4. But the task should be undertaken gently.5. Reading should never be made to look like a chore.Exercise B:It would be wrong to set a time when a child should start learning to read and write. Parents should encourage youngsters aged two to five to read if they show interests in it, but never force them to learn to read. He or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at infan t school.Then it is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, if a child cannot read at the age of seven, teachers and parents should make certain that he is not dyslexic. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.Parents should not ignore the young child's appeal to teach him to read. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour. Reading should never be made to look like a chore and the child should never be forced to continue, if his interests start to flag.Section Two Dialogue 1 Digital SoundMIKE: Wow! Nice. CDs have such good sound. Do you ever wonder how they make CDs?KATHY: Well, they get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play.MIKE: Come on. You know what I mean. Why is the sound quality so good? I mean, why do CDs sound so much clearer than cassettetapes?KATHY: Actually, I do know that.MIKE: Really?KATHY: It's all based on digital sound. CDs are digital. Digital sound is like several photos, all taken one after another. It's kind of likepictures of sound. The intensity of the sound – how strong it is-- is measured very quickly. Then it's measured again and again.When we hear the sound, it all sounds like one long piece ofsound, but it's really lots of pieces close together. And eachpiece is really clear.MIKE: So digital is like lots of short "pieces" of sound.KATHY: Exactly. This is different from analog* -- that's how they used to record. Analog is more like one wave of sound. It moves up anddown with volume and pitch. Anyway, analog is like a singlewave. Digital is like a series of pieces.MIKE: OK, I understand that. But how do they make the CDs? KATHY: I told you. They get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play.Dialogue 2 How Do They Make CDs?MIKE: OK, I understand that. But how do they make theCDs?KATHY: I told you, Mike. They get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play.MIKE: Kathy !KATHY: No. What really happens is first they do a digital recording -- on videotape.MIKE: On videotape.KATHY: Yeah, they use videotape. So then the videotape is played through a computer.MIKE: OK. What does the computer do?KATHY: Well, the computer is used to figure out the "pieces" of sound we were talking about; howlong everything is, how far apart spaces are.MIKE: OK. So the computer is figuring out those separate "pieces" of sound.KATHY: Yeah. They need to do that to make the master.MIKE: The master?KATHY: The master is the original that all the other CDs are copied from. It's made of glass. It's a glass disk that spins around --justlike a regular CD. And the glass disk is covered with a chemical.They use a laser to burn the signal, or the song, into the glassplate. The laser burns through the chemical, but not through theglass.MIKE: So the laser cuts the sound into the plate.KATHY: Right. What it's doing is cutting little holes into the back of the disk. Those holes are called "pits." The laser puts in the pits. MIKE: So CDs really have little holes on the back? 1 didn't know that. KATHY: Yeah. Tiny pits. They're too small to see. [Pause.[ Anyway, then they've got the master, and they make copies from it. Thenyou buy your copy and put it in the CD player.MIKE: Put it in the CD player ... That part I understand.KATHY: There's another laser in your CD player. The light of the laser reflects off the CD. The smooth part of the CD reflects straightback, like a mirror. But the light that bounces off the pits isscattered. Anyway, the computer in your CD player reads thelight that bounces off the pits. And you get the music.MIKE: Reflected light, huh? ... Uh ... you knew what I like? Just relaxing, listening to music, and not really worrying about how it gets onthe disk.KATHY: You want me to explain it again?1. The making of the CDsA. Recordinga.

Imagine: the ancient Egyptians were already concerned about their dental hygiene! We know this today because they also had the good habit of being entombed* with all their treasures ... So we were able to discover that tombs from 3,000 years before Christ contained small tree branches whose ends had been frayed* into soft fibers. It's comical to imagine an Egyptian stopping to brash his teeth after a meal, on his break from building a pyramid!The true ancestor of our toothbrush, however, was invented by the Chinese in the 15th century and brought back to Europe by travellers. This toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wild boar which were fixed to a bamboo or bone handle. The people of the Occident*, however, found the wild boar hairs too stiff. At the time, very few people in the Western world brushed their teeth, and those who did preferred horse hairs, which were softer than those of the wild boar! InEurope, it was more customary after meals to use a goose feather toothpick, or one made of silver or copper.Other animals' hair was also used for dental care, right up until this century. But it was the poor Siberian wild boar that took the brunt of it. The animal was imported for its neck hairs tot a long, long time ... in fact, until nylon was invented, in the 20th century!In 1937, in the Du Pont laboratories in Nemours, U.S., nylon was invented by Wallace H. Carothers. In 1938, this new material became a symbol of modernism and prosperity through the cmmercialization of nylon stockings and of Dr. West's miracle toothbrush with nylon bristles. The wild boars were finally off the hook!At first, even if there were many advantages to using this new brush instead of the one made with wild boar hairs (which fell out, wouldn't dry very well or became full of bacteria), the consumers were not entirely satisfied. This is because the nylon bristles were very stiff and hurt the gums. In 1950, Du Pont improved their toothbrush by giving it softer bristles.Today the brands, types, and colours of toothbrushes on the market are almost endless. In spite of this, certain African and American populations still use tree branches to care for their teeth!Exercise A:First, the toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wildboar(公野猪)。

I'm Dr. Pat Parker, and I'm here to talk to you about preventative medicine in its widest and most personal aspects. In other words, I'm here to tell you how the patient should wrest control of their health away from the practitioners of medicine and take charge of their ownmedical destiny. I want to talk about staying out of the hands of the doctor.When the patient takes responsibility for her or his own health--and let's decide the patient is male for now -- men are in fact more at risk than women anyway--when the patient takes over his own health regime, he must decide what he wants to do. Our department has recently completed a survey of men's health. We looked at men in different age groups and occupations, and we came up with a disturbing insight. Young men, particularly working class men, are at considerable risk of premature death because of their lifestyle. As a group, they have high risk factors: they drink too much alcohol, they smoke more heavily than any other group, their diet is frequently heavy in saturated fats, and they don't get enough exercise.We then did a smaller survey in which we looked at environmental factors which affect health.I had privately expected to find air or water pollution to be the biggest hazards, and they must not be ignored. However, the effects of the sun emerged as a threat which people simply do not take sufficiently seriously. Please remember that too much sunlight can cause permanent damage.Given this information, and the self-destructive things which people, particularly young men are doing to themselves, one could be excused for feeling very depressed. However, I'm an optimist, l see things improving, but only if we work very hard. In the second part of the talk I want to consider different things that you as students can do to improve your fitness.In the late 80's the Surgeon-General of the United States said that 53 percent of our illnesses could be avoided by healthy lifestyle choices. I now want to discuss these choices with you.You should try to make keeping fit fun! It's very hard to go out and do exercises by yourself, so it's wise to find a sport that you like and play it with other people, If you swim, you can consider scuba diving or snorkeling. If you jog, try to find a friend to go with. If you walk, choose pretty places to walk or have a reason for walking. Your exercise regime should be a pleasure, not a penance.The university is an excellent place to find other people who share sporting interests with you, and there are many sports teams you can join. This, unfortunately, raises the issue of sports injuries, and different sports have characteristic injuries. As well as accidental injuries, we find repetitive strain injuries occurring in sports where the same motion is frequently performed, like rowing and squash. The parallel in working life is repetitive strain injury which may be suffered by typists or other people who perform the same action hour after hour, day after day.In this context, therefore, the most important thing to remember before any sport is to warm up adequately. Do stretching exercises, and aim at all times to increase your flexibility. Be gentle with yourself, and allow time to prepare for the game you have chosen to play. Don't be fooled by the term "warm up", by the way. It's every bit as important to do your warm-up exercises on a hot day as on a cool one.I think one of the most sensible and exciting developments in the reduction of injury is the recognition that all sports can borrow from each other. Many sports programs are now encouraging players to use cross training techniques, that is, to borrow training techniques from other sports. Boxers have been using cross training for years: building up stamina by doing road work and weight training, while honing their skills and reflexes. Other sports which require a high level of eye-hand coordination are following this trend, so you see table tennis players running and jogging to improve their performance, and footballers doing flexibility exercises which can help them control the ball better. All of these results are good, but the general sense of well-being is best, and is accessible to us all, from trained athletes to people who will never run a 100 meters in less than 15 seconds, Good health is not only for those who will achieve athletic greatness!(764)。
