UNIT 5Section One Tactics for listeningPart 1 Sport DictationWindIn the past we watched the wind closely. (1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) one's face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought.Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice.Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making - the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft underthe (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves.Part 2 Listening for GistEleven years ago, a US Congressman from the state of Michigan introduced legislation asking Congress to study the issue of slavery reparations. Since then, the cities of Washington, Detroit, Cleveland, Dallas and now Chicago have called on Congress to consider such payments. Chicago aldermen voted 46-1 in support of the resolution. Alderman Freddrenna Lyle is the descendant of a slave. She says blacks in the United States are still at a disadvantage because of slavery."Today, when I am down the street and cross the street and go to (the department store) Sak's and people follow me through the store. It is because slavery has taught people to treat us differently based on skin color. It lives and breathes with us. It is with us every single day."Alderman Ed Smith says there is not enough money in the universe to compensate blacks for what they have suffered because of slavery, but he says it is time for the country to try.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1)This passage is about slavery reparations.The key words are slavery reparation, payments, vote, resolution, descendant, disadvantage, skin color, compensate, blacks, suffer.Section two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueCheapo TicketTerri: Did you see that television series with Michael Palin?Simon: The one where he went around the world in eighty days?Terri: Yeah.Simon: Yeah, it was really good.

Now, there are 55, aisle after aisle crammed with inexpensive, ready-to-eat versions of chicken, chick peas and vegetable balls in sauces and spices.A few blocks away at the Pacific Supermarket, which specializes in Chinese and Thai food, frozen dinners fill two long aisles.Other ethnic groceries, including those offering Mexican food, are enjoying explosive growth in sales of frozen meals to immigrant and second-generation customers with less time, inclination or ability to cook the foods of their homeland.Filling the frozen food racks are rapidly growing food companies, many of them local or regional, which find that serving ethnic shops is easier and more profitable than selling to grocery chains. As their profits increase, they areattracting the attention of major corporations.The market for ethnic frozen foods reached US$2.2 billion in 2001, according to the American Frozen Food Institute.The biggest market is for Italian food, totaling US$1.28 billion in 200 I, up 6.1 percent from 2000. The overall frozen food market also grew by 6.1 percent, totaling US$26.6 billion.But Mexican frozen food sales grew 20.6 percent to US$488 million. Asian frozen entrees, which include Chinese, Thai and Indian, were up 12.3 percent, totaling US$463 million.The steady growth in popularity of ethnic frozen foods is partly a result of changing demographics* - by 2010, the Hispanic-American population in the United States is expected to grow 96 percent and the Asian-American population is expected to grow 110 percent.But other Americans are also enjoying dishes once considered exotic. The busy lives of many people help sales ..Six nights out of seven, it is well past midnight when Sanjay Kumar, a software manager at the brokerage* firm, arrives home from his office in Stamford, Connecticut.His refrigerator is bare but his freezer is full.

Still, some are expanding beyond their own ethnic origins.Deep Foods* of Union, New Jersey, is adding frozen Thai and Chinese entrees even as it markets its Green Guru* line of Indian dishes.Deep Foods started out in the late 1970s as a family-owned snack business, then started making vegetarian frozen food in the mid-1980s. It has since diversified into non-vegetarian, natural and low-sodium* dishes.Heinz sees frozen dishes as a growth area along with organic and natural foods. Just before acquiring Ethnic Gourmet*, Heinz bought a Mexican food manufacturer, Delimex.Europe is ahead of the United States in terms of big companies. But the trend could grow here.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionThe development and diversity of the delights of Chinese cuisine are representative of China's long history. With each dynasty new recipes were created until the art of food preparation reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty. The dinner called Man Han Quan Xi that incorporates all the very best of Man and Han Cuisines is held in high esteem as it does countless dishes, each with its own distinctive flavor and appeal.The diversity of geography, climate, customs and products have led to theevolution of what are called the "Four Flavors" and "Eight Cuisines".Cuisine in China is a harmonious integration of color, redolence, taste, shape and the fineness of the instruments. Among the many cooking methods they use are boiling, stewing, braising, frying, steaming, crisping, baking, and simmering and so on.Cuisine can rise to many different occasions from luxury court feasts, fetes, holy sacrificial rites, joyous wedding ceremonies to simple daily meals and snacks.

Its creators say it will cost as much as a luxury car!Electronics companies across the globe are racing to develop the next great robot for use around the home. Some, such as the SDR4X, are humanoid* robots meant to entertain their owners with their walking, talking and tricks. Others are made to do chores, such as mow the lawn or wash the car.Robots could help kids do their homework, or make learning fun, forexample.Rodney Brooks is the Artificial Intelligence Director at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.His company, Robot (eye-robot) Corporation, has developed what it calls "remote presence" robots. They allow their owners to control them from anywhere in the world by using the Internet. He calls this "rebottling".As for the fun side, the industry is developing companion robots for elderly people who are lonely. And Sony expects to put its SDR4X on the market by the end of the year.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the latest development in robots for use around the home.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and discuss the following questions.1)It costs as much as a luxury car.2)Sony made it.3)They will entertain their owners with their walking, talking and tricks.4)It means that these robots allow their owners to control them from anywherein the world by using the Internet.5)Sony will put SDR4X on the market by the end of the year.News Item 3RoboticsThe sophisticated combination of electronics and software empowering today's toys may run tomorrow's household robots, according to engineer Pradeep Khosla, at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute.Mr Khosla is presently working on programming robots to duplicate human response, so that in the future robots might be able to function as helpers for the elderly or the. handicapped.He says he has made some gains - robots that respond to hand signals, voice commands, light and darkness and those gains are visible on today's toy market.Jeff Burnstein of the Robotics Industries Association says a robot, by definition, is a piece of equipment that is multifunctional, one that can be reprogrammed to do many different tasks.Home robot helpers may be a distant dream, he says, but industrial robots are an essential part of most factories today.As for the future, Pradeep Khosla says a person will be able to turn to his or her robot helper and say - Get me a Coca Cola. That robot will then walk to the refrigerator and open the door.That future is about 20 years off, Mr. Khosla estimates. The children playing with robot toys today could be the first generation to live with robots in their homes as adults.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the present achievements of robotics and the home robot helper in the future.B esicrexEDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following passage.Future robots will be able to duplicate human response, so that they might be able to function as helpers for the elderly or the handicapped.

About 150 experts are meeting in New York this week, brought together by the Paris-based "Medecins Sans Frontiers" (Doctors Without Borders) organization, to discuss ways to jumpstart new initiatives.The target of this global health campaign are the big pharmaceutical companies. "Doctors Without Borders" and other global health groups arguethe drug giants are focusing their research and development mostly on the afflictions of the affluent.A new report shows there are about eight new drugs on the way for impotence, seven for obesity. But a survey of the world's leading drug companies indicates nothing new in the pipeline for tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness or a series of other tropical diseases that afflict mainly the poor and underprivileged in developing regions.Dr Krisantha Weerasuriya from Sri Lanka works for the World Health Organization in India. He says he has waited in vain for most of his career for some breakthroughs.Physicians call these neglected people the “silent sufferers.” They have no voice, no strength, no political power. And for the drug companies, health workers say, there simply is no market where the number of users is huge but the potential profits are small.International groups, therefore, are trying to pressure governments to provide leadership on the problem.Els Torreele, a pharmacologist from Brussels, says the public sector has to step in where the private sector fails:“We believe there is more opportunity to have the public sector has to step in where the getting this research work restarted and trying to attract the pharmaceutical industry, which has interest in doing that. There’s no reason it could not be done in the public sector if you put the money and energy in it that’sneeded.”The pharmaceutical companies argue it makes money to develop drugs and they have no interest in doing that. There’s no reason it could not be done in the public sector if you put the money and energy in it that’s needed.”The pharmaceutical companies argue it takes money to develop drugs and they have to keep an eye on their “bottom line”. However, reports from some of the big pharmaceutical firms suggest they are spending, in some cases, less than one percent of their budgets on what health workers call the “neglected diseases”.Medical experts say prospects for the future look grim. Even with malaria and tuberculosis, where there are effective drugs on the market, new ones are needed as people develop resistance to the old medicines.Health organizations concede the solution is probably complex and it will require a lot of money. But they see the health crisis in developing countries, where the majority of people live, as a major embarrassment in a world otherwise so advanced and so prosperous.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the science report and complete the summary.This science report is about the lack of attention and efforts in development of needed drugs in developing countries.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the report again and decide whether the followingstatements are true (T) or false (F). Discuss with your classmates why you think the statement is true of false.T 1. “Doctors Without Borders” is a Paris-based organization.(About 150 experts are brought together by the Paris-based” Medicines Sans Frontiers” (Doctors Without Borders) organization.)F 2. 150 experts who are brought together by this organization will meet in New York next week.(About 150 experts are meeting in New York week)T 3.

It will be "better, not just bigger", the 28-year McDonald's veteran told investors at an April 7 meeting in New York.McDonald's had wanted to sell 50 percent to 60 percent of the chains while retaining managerial control.Last year, shares of McDonald's plummeted* 39 percent, making it thethird-biggest decliner in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.Cantalupo, 59, signed up* actor Paul Newman to supply Newman's own dressings for salads that McDonald's is adding for a healthier menu.

ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and find its topic sentence.The topic sentence is "A cat got on to a Scandinavian Airlines plane in Nairobi yesterday and cost the company about ￡10.000."Section TwoListening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueWhat a Coincidence!Storyteller: Talking of coincidences, did I tell you about what happened to me andJeannie last holiday?Friend(s): No.Storyteller: We went on holiday in the States and we went to Mexico. Well, we were driving down to Mexico City. We were going to spend a few days in Palm Beach ... see the sea,look up an old friend, you know. As we left there we stopped at a garage for a car check ... oil, the water, the tires, all that ... petrol. And the mechanics spotted something. They said that our fuel pump was not working properly and it was quite serious ... it would cost a lot of money ... well, we were very worried. Friend(s): Were you insured?Storyteller: Well, no, we weren't and I didn't have that much money on me, you know. It was meant to be a cheap holiday. Well, just then, two men drove up and they said what's the problem? And, do you know? They were mechanics - it was such good luck. They looked at our car and they said, "There's nothing wrong with your car. Don't spend money on it. Just forget about it." Well, naturally, we were worried, but ... er, I thought ... I'll trust them, I think they're right. So, we drove on, we crossed the Mexican border and had a marvelous few days sightseeing there round Monterey. Friend(s):Oh, oh, brilliant ... jealous ...Storyteller: And then we went on and on to Mexico City. We drove about forty kilometers and then we saw a car with the same US number plates as the other car we'd seen in Palm Beach.Friend(s): You're joking!Storyteller: It was parked by the road, and the same two men who gave us the advice about our car were stuck with their car.Friend(s): Oh, no!Storyteller: So, we stopped and asked them what was wrong.

Aren't there more important factors to consider, such as the job itself, salary and bonuses, and fringe benefits（附加福利）? These factors are indeed important, but increasingly career experts are talking about the importance of employee-employer fit in terms of culture, with the idea that how well the employee "fits" the culture can make the difference between job-search success and failure.What is corporate culture? At its most basic, it's described as the personality of an organization, or simply as "how things are done around here". It guides how employees think, act, and feel. Corporate culture is a broad term（广义的术语）used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics（企业伦理，公司道德）, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement（宗旨）and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.How does a company's culture affect you? In many, many ways. For instance: The hours you work per day, per week, including options such as flextime andtelecommuting.The work environment, including how employees interact, the degree ofcompetition, and whether it's a fun or hostile environment - or something in-between.The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire* and things such as casual days.The office space you get, including things such as cubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display of personal items.The training and skills development you receive, which you need both on the job and to keep yourself marketable for future jobs and employers.Onsite perks（特别的待遇）, such as break rooms, gyms and play rooms, daycare facilities, and more.The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer? The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as: What's it really like to work here?What skills and characteristics does the company value?How do people get promoted around here?The bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot of time in the work environment ---and to be happy, successful and productive, you’ll want to be in a place where you fit the culture, a place where you can have a voice, be respect and have opportunity for growth.A：Pre-listening QuestionMany articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members".Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.B：Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three timesC：Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and complete the following paragraphs At its most basic, corporate culture is described as the personality of an organization. It guides how employees think, act, and feel. Corporate culture is a broad term used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can also be expressed in the company's mission statement and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.A company's culture affects you in many ways, such as the working hours, the work environment, the dress code, the office space you get, the training and skills development you receive, onsite perks, the amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers and interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.D：After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1. The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as: What's it really like to work here? What skills and characteristics does the company value? How do people get promoted around here?2.(Open)Section ThreeNewsNews Item 1News Item 1英巴首脑就巴冲突问题举行会谈On his way home from his first official visit to the United States, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari stopped in London for two days of discussions. 在首次正式访问美国之后的返回途中，巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里在英国停留两天，讨论问题。

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs* of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm.Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes. After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order. He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream. There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, "I love coffee ice cream," said Ana.After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray."We didn't order coffee," said Edward crossly*, "we ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English."The waiter smiled and looked pleased."No," said Ann laughing, "it's his country. We ought to be able to speak his language."Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1. B2. C 3, D 4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 8.

He is expected to meet with the President Vladimir Putin and other officials. Mr. Robertson says NA TO’s expansion to the east will not harm the balance in Europe. Russia strongly opposes NA TO membership for Lithuanian, Latvia and Estonia. A defense minister’s spokes man reportedly said the entry of these countries would threaten Russia’s security interests. He says Russia will take extra security measures if they join in the alliance. NA TO will consider their membership next yearSection 3 Oral WorkPart 1 Questions and AnswersPeter and William have just arrived at the door of Peter's house.

Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the colored lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animalswere fed and exercised.Sometimes, to their delight, two young women stood on the horses' backs and galloped round and round.But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions' cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling.At last the opening night came round. Then the most terrible thing happened; their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus. The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1Greetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture. The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the businessworld introductions are based on a person's rank* or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people ofequal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate*, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello!I am ... ' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume* that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people. Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy*, sexually explicit* stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 8. BPassage 2The native people of North and South America were given the name "Indians" by the explorer Christopher Columbus*. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations*, or on tribal* lands. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe ofthe northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights, and mining* operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor* their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.C2.

B: Listen to the news again and answer the questions.1. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for thekilling of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear.No, the pirates haven’t been deferred.2.3. Because the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so greatand Somalia remains so lawless.4. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warshipsin the area to police an expanseof seacovering more than a million square kilometres.5. It may be because of the relatively small scale of the problem.Tape script of News Item One:The piracy problem looks like it's here to stay despite the recentmuscular interventions by the French and American navies. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear. But it does suggest at the very least that the pirates haven't been deterred.So why does the problem persist. Put simply maritime security analysts say piracy will continue as long as the financial rewardsfor a successful hijacking remain so great and Somaliaremains theinternational effort to thwart the problem is relatively limited. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police an expanseof seacovering more than a million squarekilometres. Although it has been suggested that raids could be mounted on the pirates' home towns, it seems unlikely there'll be any major increase in the military effort unlessthere's a spectacularhijacking involving the deaths of many crew members.The reluctance to mount a major international naval operation in the area may also be down to the relatively small scale of the problem. Last year, according to figures from the International Maritime Bureau, nearly twenty three thousandships passedthrough the Gulf of Aden. Only ninety two were hijacked.Rob Watson, BBC NewsNews Item 2Ex. A: Listen to the news and complete the summaryThis news item is abou O t bama’s military plan in Afghanistan.Ex. B: True or false.1.

Opinions against Obama are not heard.F. ( some Republicans and members of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resourcesand military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight.)5. The conflict in Afghanistan seems to be over soon.F. ( about committing more resourcesand military personnelto a conflict where there is no end in sight.)6. Afghanistan can be the second Vietnam.T. (The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.)Script of News Item Two:The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan is not an option. It's not on the table. According to one White House source, he told the meeting that he wouldn't shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan or opt for a strategy of merely targeting al-Qaeda leaders. But he wouldn't be drawn on the military request for more troops.There appearsto be a frustration that the review of strategy has sometimes been portrayed in black-and-white terms of a massive increase or reduction of troop numbers.President Obama told the group made up of the most senior Republican and Democrat senatorsand congressmenthat his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate".But it's going on too long for some Republicans and members of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight. The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.The President was certainly right when he said his final decision wouldn't make everyone in the room, or the country, happy.Mark Mardell, BBC News, WashingtonNews Item 3Ex.

They recreated the extinct beasts through the marriage of science, art andtechnology.3. The exhibit is not behind the glass or otherwise enclosed, so visitors areeye to eye with extinct beasts. It is displayed in this way so that visitors will feel as if they’ve stepped into a Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.He saysit ’s a ccurate becauseevery single plant,every insect, every4.organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found asa fossil in northeastern China.5.

They study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens andostriches to learn how similarly-built dinosaurs would stand or walk.8. By using high-tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gained from thebiology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rexcould reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower that the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.Script：Dinosaur Discoveries Made Possible through Art, Technology,Modern LivestockThe rolling hills of a province in northeastern China are now terraced for farming, but beneath that farmland are clues to a prehistoric world unlikeany seenby human eyes - until this week. Some 130 million years after dinosaurs roamed the Liaoning forest, the world has been painstakingly recreated in New York City's American Museum of Natural History.The sound of the prehistoric forest is one of the few things that has been imagined in this 65 square-meterdiorama. The gingko leaves,piney treesand life-sized models of 35 prehistoric animals were created through the marriage of science, art and technology, as every detail, down to the sleeping pose of a dinosaur, is based on scientific findings.The exhibit is not behind glass or otherwise enclosed, so visitors areeye-to-eyewith extinct beasts,feeling as if they've steppedinto a Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.Mark Norell is a paleontologist who has worked in Liaoning, searching for clues to recreate this prehistoric world."It's accurate because every single plant, every insect, every organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found as a fossil innortheastern China," he explained, "so the only thing that we had to sort of make up a little bit is what color some the animals were. Even though we know some of theme were patterned, but we know definitely that they were patterned, because we can see that is the soft tissue remains, but we don't know what color they were but we try to be a little conservativein that regard, but nevertheless all the feathers you see, all the weird tail structures you see, is all stuff we found as fossils."Underneath the gingko trees, a feathered bird-like dinosaur chases on two legs after a large winged insect, the dinosaur's beak-like mouth open to reveal rows of jagged teeth. A sleeping dinosaur tucks its head beneath its arm, much as a modern goose tucks its head beneath its wing.The museum's curator of paleontology, Michael Novacek, explains that it is necessaryto understand birds in order to better understand extinct creatures."The reason birds are so important to us is really a fact we weren't so aware of 10, 20 years ago is that birds are living dinosaurs. They're not just related to dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs," he stressed. "They're a branch of dinosaurs,so convenientlyenough dinosaursdidn't go completely extinct. One group, the birds, survived."Scientists study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens and ostriches to learn how similarly built dinosaurs would stand or walk. Researchers even created a computer model of a giant chicken to learn more about the movements of the ever popular Tyrannosaurus Rex.By using high tech imagery,fossils, and the knowledge gainedfrom the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower than the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.Thesescientific findings are passed alongto model designers,such as t he creator of a six-foot-long mechanical T-Rex, a highlight of the new exhibit. The menacing skeleton's tail sways and its head bobs as the extinct dinosaur shifts its weight, plodding in place - yet another example of the never-before-seenbecoming altogether real when scienceand technology meet art.Part 2 PassageExercise Bthis study was to determine what type of “gaze ”is1.

The eye contact experiment used computer-generatedimages fromactors who conveyed different levels of attention (gazing at the subject, gazing at the other actor, looking away, and looking down). These images were presentedto the subjects, who believed they were in an actualthree-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any time in the conversation. The researchers concluded that people in group discussions will speak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group membersand the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.2. Open.Script:Eye Contact Shown To Affect Conversation Patterns, GroupProblem-Solving AbilityNoting that the eyes have long been described as mirrors of the soul, a Queen's computer scientist is studying the effect of eye gaze on conversationand the implications for new-agetechnologies,ranging from video conferencing to speech recognition systems.Dr. Roel Vertegaal,who is presenting a paper on eye gaze at an international conference in New Orleans this week, has found evidence to suggest a strong link between the amount of eye contact people receive and their degree of participation in group communications. Eye contact is known to increase the number of turns a person will take when part of a group conversation. The goal of this study was to determine what type of "gaze" (looking at a person's eyes and face) is required to have this effect.Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any timienthe conversation. The Queen's study showed that the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.The findings have important implications for the design of future communication devices, including more user-friendly and sensitivevideoconferencing systems–a technology increasinglychosen in businessforreasons –economic and time-saving and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) which support communication between people and machines. Dr. Vertegaal'sgroup is also implementing these findings to facilitate user interactions with large groups of computers such as personal digital assistants and cellular phones.The eye contact experiment used computer-generatedimages f rom actors who conveyed different levels of attention (gazing at the subject, gazing at the other actor, looking away, and looking down). These images were presented to the subjects, who believed they were in an actual three-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. The researchersconcluded that people in group discussionswill speakup more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members. There was no relationship between the impact of the eye contact and when it occurred."The effect of eye gaze has literally fascinated people throughout the ages," says Dr. Vertegaal, whose paper, Explaining Effects of Eye Gaze on Mediated Group Conversations: Amount or Synchronization. was presentedthis week at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work."Sumerian clay tablets dating back to 3000 BC already tell the story of Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld, who had the power to kill Inanna,goddess of love, with a deadly eye," says Dr. Vertegaal. "Now that we are attempting to build more sophisticated conversational interfaces that mirror the communicative capabilities of their users, it has become clear we need to learn more about communicative functions of gaze behaviors."。

Betty left home early that day because she was going to start work at an office. She was only sixteen and this was her first job. Unfortunately, the traffic was so dense that she was a few minutes late When she arrived at the office.When she entered the office, she saw Mr. Crump, her boss, speaking to the people in an angry voice. She was very afraid and didn’t dare to say anything.Later that day, she found out what had happened, As a rule, Mr. Crump came to the office at about 9:30, because he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day. That morning, however, he happenedto catch an earlier train, and when he arrived at the office, he was greatly annoyed to see that no one was working. All the clerks were standing around, smoking, laughing and telling jokes.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening Comprehension Entertainments in LondonExercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1. When was London known as “Swinging London”2. Why are so many people attracted to visit London3. Why is the British Theatre world-famous4. Where are the films shown in a large number of cinemas from5.

What does the speaker think of making a trip to London2. A3. D4. B5. D6. C7. B8. DTapescript:You come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to have fun — a reputation which really only dates from the mid 1960’s, that era* of “Swinging London,”* of pop stars and fashion photographers and dress designers.There’s certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There’s a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter— and they’re free! When it’s fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you maynot be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you’re not likely to be bored.Part 3 Video British Pub Tradition Under ThreatExercise:1. Why are pubs important for British peopleFor hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. They are the places where people can go for a pint of beer and lively conversation.2. Why is pub culture changing recentlyAccording to Bridget Walsh, people tend to go restaurants instead of pubs and they buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink it at home.3. What makes British pub business go downwardThey are the poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs.4. How does Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, view the rapidly deteriorating economic conditionsHe sees the economic downturn as an opportunity and runs an Internet service to get more people into pubs by allowing them to have their mail delivered to their local pub.5. Do you think British pubs will dry up somedayI’m afraid not. The British love of beer and the rare British summer day is a good reason for them to have a pint of beer in the pub. Tapescript:For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. The place to go for a pint of beer and lively conversation. But Britain’s pubs are under threat. The poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs are all putting pubs under pressure. Bridget Walsh has been in the business for 42 years. She says pub culture is changing.“People aren’t going into pubs the way they used to years ago. They tend to go restaurants. They tend to buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink indoors, because people have entertainment indoors these day,”she said.It’s not just indoor entertainment people are looking for. Pubs—once smoke-filled rooms—are no longer. Smokers have to go outside these days. That’s hurt business too. “If they can’t have a pint and cigarette, you might as well drink at home,” Walsh adds.At the annual Great British Beer Festival in London, there are hundreds of beers, bitters, ales and plenty of enthusiasts. One might almost believe that pubs will be forever. But Neil Williams from the British Beer & Pub Association says the problem is serious.“Fifty-two pubs are closing every week here in the U.K., and that’s a big increase and, if we don’t take action, we’re going to lose a lot of our much-loved community pubs,” he said.Williams says taxes on beer served in pubs rose by 20 percent in 18 months. All in all, he says it’s a difficult time.“Unfortunately, the smoking ban coincided with a lot of other very adverse trading conditions: rising costs, we had rapidly deteriorating economic conditions, plus hug tax increases, so we’ve likened it to a perfect storm,” he said.Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, sees the downturn as an opportunity. He runs an Internet service that allows customers to have their mail delivered to their local pub.“What we’re really trying to do is to do two things, to get more people into pubs more often, but also really to help pubs cement their position at the heart of their local communities,” Mills explains.Tastes here are changing though. Wine bars, a recent trend, are taking away some of the business for pubs. But the British love of beer and the rare British summer day will mean, pub owners hope, that business will never totally dry up.。

I put a big value on being current with my friends.2. F. She and her friends take turns to call each other.3. F. Her phone bills are high, but she considers it's just like one of her living expenses.4. T. She says, "there's something about throwing away a letter that I just can't do it."5. T. They met when they worked at the same place. Then he went to Taiwan for two years and they wrote letters. They didn'tknow each other very well, but they got to know each other through letters over the first two years and then they are good friends ever since.6. F. They met when they worked at the same place.7. F. When she first saw him after writing him for two years, she was a little nervous that they wouldn't be able to function without a pen and paper between them.8. T. She has a friend who got on-line and email is her thing. Since she got her email address recently, she is able to hear from her twice a week.9. F. She thinks that friends should provide comfort and support and adventure and jokes.10. T. She says, "I feel like one thingI want my friends to do is call me on things, you know, to let me know if I do something that upsets them from whatever reason.I think that's one thing friends, you know, do for each other.11. F. Sometimes friendship can get prickly and hard. You can fight, but in her view, fighting was never bad.12. T You share jokes that you've created together that you've understood and all you have to do is say one word, and the other person can go off into peals of laughter.Part 2 PassageEx. B: Sentence Dictation1. Negotiating isn't always done with a hammer in hand. But you should become a better negotiator if you want to succeed in business.2. In the art of negotiating, facts and figures play a role, but what may tip the balance is the emotional factor.3. Good negotiations--in business as well as in personal orfamily situations--hinge on respect for others, and respect for your own feelings.4. If someone is getting angry at you, there can be all sorts of reasons for that.5. Both sides have an ongoing relationship that can be damaged bya lopsided agreement.Ex. C: Detailed Listening.1. Directions: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions1) What makes the difference between success and failure ina negotiation?How you deal with emotions, your own and those on the other side, makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation.2) What does the notion of a lack of power and self-respect lead to in negotiation?The negotiator with this notion is often immediately put at an disadvantage.3) What do positive emotions and negative emotions bring about ina negotiation?Positive emotions elicit good feelings and often lead to good solutions; negative ones cloud the brain and reduce our capacity to think, learn and remember.Exercise 21) Appreciation: Understanding the other side’s point of view, finding merit in their ideas and communicating your understanding.2) Affiliation: Try to build genuine connections with the otherside as human beings, not merely as adversaries.3) Autonomy: The recognition that both you and the other side are free to affect or make decisions.4) Status: Competition over status is a dead end. Appreciating the status of both sides leads to the mutual respect necessary for a successful negotiation.5) Role: Don’t needlessly limit yourself. The activities in your work and negotiations can often be expanded to be more fulfilling and meaningful.Ex. D: After-listening Discussion1. What is one of the best soothing methods? Why?One of the best soothing methods is to ask yourself, "How important is this issue to me?" Some negotiators, just like some married couples, are at risk of making every issue a big issue. We can get worked up about issues that are of little importance. As Aristotle pointed out, "One can become angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose--that is not easy."2. How do you deal with emotions in negotiations?Open.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex. A: Summarize the newsThis news item is about the world’s first commercially cloned dog. Ex.

I can show you where it is. Archer: Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you.Woman: That’s all right.Archer: Your English is very good.Woman: I’m learning English at evening classes. Are you here on holiday? Archer: No, I’m giving some lectures at the university.Woman: Well, I hope you enjoy yourself here.Part 2--Listening and Note-TakingWoman: How do you find living on a grant? Can you manage it?Man: Well, rent is the biggest item on my budget. That’s more than ￡8.

After rent comes food--that’s my next biggest expense, I suppose. Of course, I can’t afford to eat in restaurants or anything like that.Woman: What about books? Do you have to spend a lot on books?Man: Well, well, it depends,--I mean last week I spend ￡ 3.25 just on one book, and that’s about average for a week, I’d say.Woman: Do you buy newspapers and magazines much?Man: Well, not a lot, because—well, they have them in the college library, you see, b ut I reckon to spend about, urn ￡1, or ￡1.5 on papers.Woman: What about entertainment, do you go out a lot?Man: Well, I go to the pub nearly every evening if that’s what you mean, you know, f or a drink with you know, with my friends, and I smoke and well, altogether I spend a bout ￡5 a week on that.Woman: So it’s not very easy to live on your grant then, is it?Man: No, no, not really, I work, I get job every vacation as a driver or in a factory or s omething like that…There’s nothing I can give up really. I mean, if I give up smoking , I’ll only save ￡ 1.50 per week anyway. Sometimes I save on transport—that averages about ￡2 a week usually, but if I hitchhike home to my parents for example, I save on the train fare, and that’s quite a bit…ExerciseSection Two: Listening ComprehensionPart 1—DialoguesDialogue 1: The National Telecom ShowroomMrs Fennell: Have you any idea what time the National Telecom Showroom opens, K ate?Kate Mitcham: The National Telecom Showroom?

Inland the winds will drop, and temperatures should rise to 20°C although there is little chance of the sun breaking thr ough.Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with temperatures climb ing to 25°C by midday. However, by late afternoon, clouds will appear from the south west bringing the possibility of some humidity.In western region, covering Wales and southwest England as far as Bristol, heav y rain has already set in, and in England it is expected to continue for the rest of the da y, with temperatures only reaching 17 or 18 degrees.The worst of the rain should have cleared Pembroke and west Wales by mid-afte rnoon and occasional breaks in the cloud may lift the temperatures to 19, but further n orth, more rain blowing across the Irish sea, with high winds, will keep the temperatur e down to 15 or 16 degrees; low for this time of the year.Finally, for the rest of England and Scotland, the weather will be changeable; wit h rain from the west clearing by mid-morning, and then brighter periods with scattere d showers will cover most of the Midlands and Scotland. The winds will be fresh fro m the northwest becoming chilly in the north of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll i n from the North Sea and most of the northeast Scottish coast will have restricted visi bility. Temperatures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extrem e north falling to 7 degrees. That is the end of thee weather forecast, and the shipping forecast will follow shortly.Exercise:1. D2. C3. A4. B5. D6. A7. B8. CPart 3--NewsNews Item 1Last Saturday, in Japan, finance ministers of the Group of Eight countries urged oil producing countries to increase production. But they also called on the International Monetary Fund and the International Energy Agency to jointly examine the recent price rise.IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that some G-Eight ministers were concerned about financial speculation. How important it is and what influence it has on the market will be investigated, he says. A report is expected in October.Futures markets now largely set the price of oil. Yet these contracts rarely involve an exchange of real barrels of oil. Most oil is traded on what is called the spot market or through other contracts between producers and users. The prices, however, are usually based on futures prices.Exercise A:This news item is about concerns of the G-eight ministers over high oil prices. Exercise B:1. T2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TNews Item 2Last Friday, President Bush called for an economic growth package -- a plan to give a quick shot of energy to the slowing American economy. Now, the administration has an agreement with Democratic and Republican leaders in the House of Representatives.President Bush called the 150 billion dollar deal, reached Thursday, the right set of policies and the right size. He urged Congress to pass it as soon as possible, saying the economy urgently needs action. He said the plan would lead to higher consumer spending and increased business investment this year.The measures must be approved by the House and the Senate and signed into law by the president.Many economists worry that the world's largest economy will enter or has already entered a recession.Exercise A:This news item is about a plan to aid the US economy.Exercise B:1.T2. T3. F4. F5. F6. TNews Item 3World economic growth remained strong in 2007. The International Monetary Fund estimated growth at five and two-tenths percent.But predictions for 2008 call for slower growth in the world economy. In October the I.M.F. cut its estimate for global growth this year by almost half a percentage point, to four and eight-tenths percent.There are worries of an economic slowdown or possibly a recession in the United States. The most important issue for 2008 may be the American housing market.Another major issue for two thousand eight is what effect energy prices will have on economic growth. The price of a barrel of oil doubled in two thousand seven. And on the second day of two thousand eight, the price hit one hundred dollars for the first time. The dollar continued its drop against most major currencies in 2007.Exercise A:This news item is about world economic growth that is predicted to slow in 2008. Exercise B:1. The estimated growth of the world economy in 2007was at five and two-tenths percent.2. According to the International Monetary Fund’s estimation, the growth in 2008 is at four and eight-tenths percent.3.In 2007, the price of a barrel of oil doubled.4.On the second day of 2008, the oil price reached $100 per barrel.Exercise C:The global economic growth, though remaining strong in 2007, is predicted to slow in 2008. The housing market and the energy prices are two major issues that affect world economic growth for 2008. These two major issues plus US dollar continuing to drop against most major currencies lead to worries of an economic slowdown or a recession in the United States.Section Three: Oral WorkPart 1--Questions and AnswersHarry is a journalist.

He knew he should have gon e to the dentist earlier. But he always put off seeing the dentist.Yesterday afternoon David went to see his dentist because he couldn’t bear the p ain any more. David told him that the tooth had kept him awake the night before. The n the dentist looked into his mouth, but he did not look only at the one tooth. Instead h e looked them all over.“Hmm,” he said. “I’m afraid several of your teeth need seeing to.” He began to d escribe exactly what needed doing. David listened to him with a kind of sick feeling i n the stomach.“I should say that at least four teeth have cavities. We’ll have to see to them imm ediately.”David asked about the tooth that had been aching. “I may be able to save it,” the dentist said to him.Section Four: Supplementary ExercisePart 1—Listening ComprehensionPassage 1: Package HolidaysPackage holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive location are increas ingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to t he airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—you name it—it ’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully sche duled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably b e allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the bea utiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the add ed disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you ha ve never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away fro m. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or eld erly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by. Exercise:1. B2. A3. D4. B5. A6. B7. C8. CPassage 2 SkyscrapersThe first skyscrapers were built in the United States. As early as the 1880s, two n ew technical developments made these taller buildings possible. One development wa s the mechanical elevator. It meant that people would ot have to climb many steps to r each the upper floors of tall buildings. Elevators could carry them quickly to the top fl oors.The development of steel also helped make taller buildings possible. Walls of sto ne, concrete and other materials had supported earlier buildings. But such walls were t oo heavy for a truly tall building. Pieces of steel, however, could help form a strong skeleton for a tall building. The steel frame was strong enough to support the building. Walls could be made of glass or other thin materials. Today, most skyscrapers have st eel frames with glass or metal walls connected to them.The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. It was the Home Insur ance Building. It was almost 55 meters tall, By the early 1990s, skyscrapers were risin g in all large American cities, especially in New York.The world’s most famous skyscraper was built there in 1931. The Empire State B uilding was the tallest building in the world for more than forty years. It is still one fo the most popular. Each year, more than 3,000,000 visitors to New York City ride an el evator to the top of the Empire State Building. They stand outdoors in a special observ ation area almost 380 meters above the ground. From there, they can see all of the city of New York far below.By the 1950s, most big American businesses had their headquarters in skyscraper s. The goal was to keep all employees of the same company together. By the 1960s an d early 1970s, almost every skyscraper looked the same. They were like boxes with fl at tops and square sides. The buildings were made of glass, steel and concrete.European architects invented this simple design. It is called the International Styl e. They wanted to create buildings for working people. They wanted buildings that we re simple and expressed the idea that all people were equal. But after a while, architec ts and other people bacame tired of buildings that looked like boxes. They said that to o many of them made a city look ugly.Today, architects are designing many unusual and interesting skyscrapers. Some architects use elements of past, classical architecture in their skyscrapers. For example , they might use tall stone columns like those of Greek temples in a new skyscarper.Some recent skyscrapers rise up from the ground in long, wide curves. Some are round, rising into the air like a steel pipe. Others have uneven shapes, with walls of di fferent sizes. Architects also use different building materials to make skyscrapers mor e beautiful and interesting. They use granite and other kinds of stone to add color to th e newest tall buildings. Colored glass also has become popular in skyscrapers. Exercise:In late 19th century two new technical developments made skyscrapers possible. One development was the mechanical elevator.The other development was steel.Earlier skyscrapers:The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, USA in 1885.The world’s most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building was built in New Yo rk, in 1931.Skyscrapers of 1960s and early 1970s:Every skyscraper looked the same.They were like boxes with flat tops and square sides.They were made of glass, steel and concrete.This simple design expressed the idea that all people were equal. It is also called the International Style.Skyscrapers nowadays:Some skyscrapers rise up from the ground in long, wide curves.Some are round, look like steel pipes.Others have uneven shapes with walls of different sizes.Materials used by architects to build skyscrapers in recent days are granite, other kin ds of stone and colored glass, etc.Part 2-- Oral WorkMary had to go to London one evening.

After that, scientists will focus on developing the capability to rendezvous* and dock* with other spacecraft. He added that China also wanted to recruit female astronauts in the near future.The announcement comes just hours after the country's second manned space mission touched down in the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The returning astronauts have been given a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a nationally televised parade. Thousands of soldiers and groups of schoolchildren lined the route, waving Chinese flags. It's a sign of the great importance China attaches to its space program, viewing it as a source of national pride and international prestige.A: …about China’s ambitious space program.B:1.

News Item 2China's economy has recovered earlier and more strongly than any other. This latest data is further evidence of that trend. The rise in industrial output confirms what factory owners have been saying for some time now, that customers have been restocking* their inventories and confidence is returning.There are still question marks though over the stability of the recovery. The property* sector* is showing signs of overheating. The government this week announced measures to try to cool it.

Some estimates put it as high as 12 billion dollars a year. Although direct comparisons are difficult, the links between the world's largest developing country, China, and the world's largest developing continent could grow to challenge the post-colonial links between Europe and Africa.

They said that our fuel pump was not working properly and it was quite serious ... it would cost a lot of money ... well, we were very worried.Friend(s): Were you insuredStoryteller: Well, no, we weren't and I didn't have that much money on me, you know.

It guides how employees think, act, andfeel. Corporate culture is a broad term（广义的术语） used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics（企业伦理，公司道德）, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement（宗旨）and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.How does a company's culture affect you In many, many ways.For instance:The hours you work per day, per week, including optionssuch as flextime and telecommuting.The work environment, including how employees interact,the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun orhostile environment - or something in-between.The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire*and things such as casual days.The office space you get, including things such ascubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display ofpersonal items.The training and skills development you receive, which youneed both on the job and to keep yourself marketable forfuture jobs and employers.Onsite perks（特别的待遇）, such as break rooms, gyms andplay rooms, daycare facilities, and more.The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you canask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as:What's it really like to work here?What skills and characteristics does the company valueHow do people get promoted around hereThe bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot oftime in the work environment ---and to be happy,successful and productive, you’ll want to be in a placewhere you fit the culture, a place where you can have avoice, be respect and have opportunity for growth.A：Pre-listening QuestionMany articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members".Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.B：Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. Youwill hear each sentence three timesC：Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and complete the following paragraphsAt its most basic, corporate culture is described as the personality of an organization. It guides how employees think, act, and feel.

The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture.

A 3. D 4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 8. BPart 3 NewsNew research says 35% of all child deaths worldwide are caused by under-nutrition---hunger. The Lancet,the British medical magazine, just published a series of five studies. The answer, they suggest, is greaterinvestment in nutritional services and improvements to health system.The research involved poor to middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland was the lead author of the series. He says more than 3.5million mothers and children under 5die in poor countries each year because of under-nutrition.News Item 2Last week, Bill Gates retired from full-time work at the world’s biggest computer software company, Microsoft. He will remain chairman of the company he established with Paul Allen in 1975.Mr. Gates left Microsoft at a time of change in the computing industry. Early on, Microsoft understood the importance of the “network effect”. That is, software is the kind of product that increases in value as more people buy and use it.At 52 years old, Bill Gates is currently the third richest man in the world. He is worth about 58 billion dollars. Mr. Gates will now spend most of his time working at his charity organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Microsoft made a public offer to buy the Internet company Y ahoo. Microsoft says the combined companies would be in a better position to compete against Google in the online services market.This week, Y ahoo rejected the offer. Its board of directors said the price undervalued the company. The offer was worth almost 45 billion dollars in cash and stock, or 31 dollars per Y ahoo share. Y ahoo is said to want 40 dollars a share.Microsoft says it offered a full and fair price. It says moving forward quickly with the deal would be in the best interest of shareholders. Y et since February first, the value of Microsoft’s offer has fallen to 29 dollars a share because of a drop in its stock.Microsoft thinks it could better compete against Google with Y ahoo’s expert knowledge. Microsoft could attempt a hostile takeover. But that is not the way it normally does business, and there is risk of angering Y ahoo’s employees.Section Three Oral WorkMan: Are you ready to order?Woman: Er, yes, please.

The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter-- and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.Y ou may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.C 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. D6. C7. B8. DPassage 2Health InsuranceMost full-time students at American universities must have health insurance, 12qis is because health costs in the United States are high.

The college plan costs about 500 dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a/line period. It does not pay for eye glasses, hearing aids*, or dental* treatment.Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs. Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do net need such insurance in their own countries.

The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.Exercise A: Listen to the report and complete the following sentences. 1.

B: Sentence Dictation1. Negotiating isn't always done with a hammer in hand. But you should become a better negotiator if you want to succeed in business.2. In the art of negotiating, facts and figures play a role, but what may tip the balance is the emotional factor.3.

Directions: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions 1) What makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation?How you deal with emotions, your own and those on the other side, makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation.2) What does the notion of a lack of power and self-respect lead to in negotiation?The negotiator with this notion is often immediately put at an disadvantage.3) What do positive emotions and negative emotions bring about in a negotiation?Positive emotions elicit good feelings and often lead to good solutions; negative ones cloud the brain and reduce our capacity to think, learn and remember.Exercise 21) Appreciation: Understanding the other side’s point of view, finding merit in their ideas and communicating your understanding.2) Affiliation: Try to build genuine connections with the other side as human beings, not merely as adversaries.3) Autonomy: The recognition that both you and the other side are free to affect or make decisions.4) Status: Competition over status is a dead end.

But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose--that is not easy."2.
