""Thank you.Now let's look at your mock interview on videotape. ""I think it boils down(归结为)to preparation,presentation, and understanding what the interviewer is looking for "(Watching the videotape)"Another way of answering it is not telling about yourself ,but telling your relationship to the job."So,they don't care so much about your parents and that you want to live in Cambridge.They may need you to be able to be a troubleshooter.You use some examples in your life from being a troubleshooter.""One of the things that someone who is an assistant in a trade show is doing,is dealing with problems.You need to be sure that you stay,sort of ,on target with preventing,presenting yourself in the strongest possible way."This time I felt a lot more confident when I went in for the interview."I have developed strong communication skills.In college I worked on the school paper and I brought some writing samples to show you.""I also worked every summer at a bed-and-breakfast.""I worked a lot with our guests.I booked reservation over the phone,got them what theyneeded,and handled any complains.""Well,I feel like I did really well.We'll see. "Making a good first impression is the most important part of a job interview.Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefullyNot fidgeting(坐立不安,烦躁)and being confident are the most important things in a job interview.Writing a thank-you note is the most important thing you want to do after a job interview/And go in there with a firm handshake.Listening in"It's not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't"This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage(积累优势),a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.It's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.Listening in 2P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric...um...you're from the States,tell me what are the typical workinghours in the States?E:Er...traditionally people go to work at 9o'clock in the morning and they finish at about 5,so sort of a 9to 5.P:And,and Penny I...I know you're English but you work in Brazil,what are the hours in Brazil?Penny:Um varies slightly,sometimes you can start um on an early shift,say,8o'clock in the morning to 5 um or 9 until 6.But in Brazil often people will work longer hours than this.P:Right,right ok.And what kind of clothes do you wear?I mean do you dress up formally or in a relaxed way?E:It used to be that you would wear a jacket and tie to work for...for men but er nowadays an open shirt is ok.You don't necessarily have to wear a tie and sometimes on a Friday you can wear a pair of jeans to work.P:Oh,right the dress down Friday?E:The dress down Friday that's right.P:Does that still happen?E:Yes, yes sure it does.P:And how about in Brazil?Penny:Um, it's fairly casual,quite informal,um I mean you need to look neat and tidy obviously,but you,you have your own choice rely on whatyou would wear,there are no rules and regulations.It's important to look smart but comfortable.P:Right,yeah do you have meal breaks or is that...you just fit in meals when you can or...?E:Lunch,lunch is usually an hour sometimes a little shorter if you have to do a lot of work from your desk.P:Yeah,how about Brazil?Penny:That's the same, about an hour.P:And,and with overtime,I mean,if you...I mean you're obviously contracted to do a certain number of hours.What happens if you do more thanthe hours that you...that's in you...that are in your contract?E:I have to make a fairly um strict record of my hours so if I go beyond 5 o'clock on most days I put in for overtime.P:Right.E:And it's...the first hour is one of overtime and then there's I think 15minute periods after that.So I could work an hour and a quarter.P:And you'd be paid for the quarter hours?E:That's right,by the quarter hour.P:How about in Brazil?Penny:It's,it's a lot looser in Brazil actually.We we often end up doing overtime but unfortunately not paid.P: Fine.That's hard luck.And what about holidays,what about in the States?You don't have much holidays in the States do you?E:No.When you start at a company you get two weeks holiday or two weeks vacation as we say...P:YeahE:Um then it's usually not until you've been at the company for about five ears that they give you another week.So you get three weeks after you've been there for five years.P:And what about in Brazil?Penny:Um it's quite good actually-30days.P:Sounds very generous.Penny:Yeah I can pop back to...P:Is that 30 working days or 30 days in total?Penny:That's 30 working daysP:Wow,that'sPenny:Yes,yeah it's a good deal.P:What about retirement?I know it's a long way of there!When do you retire?E:Generally speaking it's at 65.P:And the same for women.E:Um it's I think a little sooner than that for women.Women I think 62or 63.P;Right ,good.And in Brazil is it similar?Penny:Similar to the States.It's um after 60 for women.65 for men,or if you've clocked up about 30 or 35 years of service then you can retire after that.P:Right and when...do you have a pay day?When is pay day?E:Um,well ,we gt paid twice a month,so we get paid at the beginning of the month and then we get paid in the middle of the month at the 15th give or take(大约).P:Yeah,and what about in Brazil?Penny:I think it all depends which company you're working for.For the one I am working for right now I get paid twice a month but when I began,with a different company that was once a month,so,it varies.P:And are there any company benefits that you have in the States?Do you have a company car or a pension?E:Yeah,we get a company car.We're able to...we lease a car in effect but it's a company car that we get for 18 months to two years and then we...we can move on to another model from that.There's a fairly good pension scheme,that's still working,and hospitalization as well.P:Oh,that's importantE:Yeah,a health plan through work is very important.P:Right.And what about in Brazil?Penny:Yeah,excellent benefits like that.Well I mean it does depend on the company and the status of your or your job but you might get a car,living accommodation,school for the children,they'll pay for your lunch,travel passes,gasoline,health insurance,all sorts of benefitsactually it's very good.P:Sounds very good,with the holiday and all those benefits it sounds a great place to work.Unit 2Outside viewConversation 1Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.Andy: OK, sure.Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books?Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet?Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.Andy: Have you read them?Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me.Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle(伦敦视角)?Andy: Not necessarily.Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?Joe: Absolutely.Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography(自传)of Charles Dickens which I'm reading.Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.Joe: OK, tell us more.Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.Andy: Sounds right up your street(拿手的)!Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it!Conversation 2Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this?Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves(使某人心烦意乱).Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain. Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode(集,一集).Andy: And was he a Londoner?Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old.Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels.Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was asocial commentator(社会评论员)as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century. It makes mewant to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave(突然想到的妙计,灵感)to suggest the new biography.Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping!Outside viewBritish people read a lot. They read books, newspapers and magazines. And of course they read text messages on their mobile phones. Sixty-five percent of British people list "reading for pleasure" as a major hobby. A quarter of the population reads more than 20 books each year. So where do these books come from? Well, there are bookshops where you can buy books. And there are lots of public libraries where you can borrow books for free. In this library you can borrow books, but you can also buy a cup of coffee, look at an art exhibition, sit in a quiet studyarea or connect to the Internet. You can also now borrow CDs, videos or DVDs of films and television programmes. Some libraries even let you borrow computer games. There are often reference rooms where you can go to look something up or go to study. Many libraries have also got special rooms with books and photograghs about the historu of the area. Libraries are very important in schools and universities both forstudy and for reading for pleasure. The British Library is one of the world's greatest libraries. The queen opened its new building in 1998. It receives a copy of every book published in Britain, and adds three million new items every year.It's got books of course, but also sound recordings, music, maps, newspapers, and magazines. People predicted that radio, then television, then the Internet will kill reading, but it still a very popular activity.Listening in 1M:So how long has your book group been running?C:Well, let me see, it's over 20years now. I think it's actually one of the oldest books groups around, because it was only about 20years ago that they started to become fashionable in the UK.M:And how often do you have meetings?C:We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to(前奏,预备期)Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.M:And how many members do you have?C:We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can attend.M:And what happens during the meeting?C:Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start fairly late, around 8:30, and the host prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts.M:It sounds quite informal.C:It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it's fairly rare that no one likes the book, and it gets quire interesting when opinions about it are divided.M And what sort of books do you read?C:Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction than I might do otherwise. But we also read the classics, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and whereas I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly(惹人恼火地)dull. And we read non-fiction. quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like poetry, which I don't, but you know, we're tolerant each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.M:And how do you choose the books?C:Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.M:And that works OK?C:Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's respect. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!Listening in 2Well, thank you for your kind welcome, and for giving me the opportunity to give this brief tour of Literary England. I can't claim it's an authoritative tour, as I'm, not a professional literary specialist. However, I have two amateur passions: one is travel and the other is readingand English literature in particular. And this lecture is a description of different visits I have made to places in Britain and Ireland, chosen specifically for their close links with well-known writers of what we call the classics of English literature.Just to give you an overview of the lecture, I'm going to start in my home town of London, which is also the home of many well-known writers. But I think that the picture we have in our mind of London has been largely fashioned by the work of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. Dickensian London is illustrated most clearly by his book Oliver Twist, and Shakespeare's London brings to mind the plays written and performed here, such as Romeo and Juliet. We'll also have a look at the memorial of freat British writers, Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.Then off we go to Oxford, another city rich in its literary history. I'm, going to focus on the greatest of Oxford's literary alumni, JRRTolkien, the professor of English who wrote Lord of the Rings, which is now famous throughout the world because of the recent series offilms.Then we turn south towards the gentle countryside of Hampshire, home of Jane Austen, where her various novels, including Price and Prejudice are set. She also spent a period of her life in the magnificent Georgian city of Bath.Then we turn north to the hills of west Yorkshire where we find Bronte country, so called because it was the home of the three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. Perhaps the two best known novels are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyer, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, also made into successful films.Then up to the north-west, to the stunning land of mountains and lakes which is the Lake District, home of the Lakeland poets. Perhapsits most famous son is William Wordsworth, whose poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" has been learnt by generations of school children notjust in Britain, but around the English-speaking world.So that's the basic route round Literary England, although I'll be thinking several detours to visit other famous writers whose work contributes to the glory which is English literature. Let's start…Unit3Outside viewLondon has always prided itself on being a little bit different when it comes to fashion. At the catwalk shows, designers showcase the hottestnew trends for journalists and buyers from all over the world. But away from the glamour of designer collections, what do London girls actuallywear? How do they create the affordable, personal style they are famous for? Hannah, who works for a fashion magazine, says Londonstyle is all about mixing and matching. One day can be punk. Next day you can be really girlie(少女般的). It’s kind of choosing what you wantin your wardrobe. Maybe taking an expensive piece but mixing it with something cheaper or second-hand. I think that is what London girls arereally good at doing. Portobello Road, in the trendy Notting Hill area, is home to one of the most famous markets in London. Here, you name itand people wear it-anything from market stall bargains to to-die-for(令人渴望的)designer labels sold in trendy shops. But how do the capitalwomen view their style? Eclectic. My style is certainly eclectic. It is from Tesco. It is the Catherine Kidston range from Tesco. Sam is matchedher outfit today with a bag she bought in a supermarket. Angela is a fashion stylist. So tell me a little bit about your life. What are you wearingand what would you say your style is? My style tends to change week by week. Today I am wearing some jeans from Uniqlo.IUniqlo jeans and bought about five pairs cos they fit really well. The boots are by Aldo .My T-shirt is from Tooshop. The jacket is a really oldjacket that I bought in the States a few years ago. But um, yeah I mean it just…it does tend to change a lot. Over to New Bond Street, Londondesigner shopping Mecca(胜地)and the style stakes have gone up a little. Some of the most famous and expensive shops in the world can befound here. Shops where you have to ask the price of that handbag…or pair of shoes…then you know you can not really afford it. Natalie, astudent from the city, says being laid back is what gives London style its edge. I don’t know. Everyone says like. French is like and stuff but I think we are quite trendy, we are a bit more casual, but I think we have got a good style going on and everything, a bit laid back,but everyone still looks cool. Seylia works in a jewelry shop. No shabby chic(流行式样,时尚)here. Cashmere scarf from Louboutin, becauseit is cold. Black coat from Prada and a Valentino bag, which is probably as colorful as it gets. Katie is a model and loves how people dress inLondon because everyone has their own individual style. I love London it is so unique.And like everyone’s got their own fash because you can wear whatever and just fit in, it is great. I love London for that. Laura is a student and says she doesninto what she is wearing. Fashion, I wouldn’t really call it fashion. It is just kind of chucked together, basically, what I am comfortable in. Camden is known for its grungy(脏的,乱糟糟), daring and sometimes outrageous(极不寻常的)styles. Here fashion is whatever you wantit to be. Teenagers don’t hold back much when it comes to choosing clothes. They just want to make personal statement .We are just crazy! We don’t hold back so much. It’s not all about being elegant or something like that. It’s more making a statement, some people. Listening inPresenter: How often do you change your clothes during the day?…Penny: Um I think it all depends on what I’m going to do. Um it might be as many as three times ifPresenter: Three times.…just a Penny: Yes, if I was …if I was going to go to gym, for instance, having dropped the children off at school I’d be wearing an。

What I use the most often now is WeChat. It is a mobile text and voice messaging communication service developed by Tencent in China, first released in January 2011. It is the largest standalone messaging app by monthly active users. It is the newest app among the three, but probably has the most users now. WeChat provides text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, broadcast (one-tomany) messaging, sharing of photographs and videos, and location sharing. Photographs may also be embellished with filters and captions, and a machine translation service is available. So I use it to send text messages, voices, photos both for fun and for work.

Unit 4 FASHIONPART II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLESSON A Global fashionLISTENINGScriptThe woman in the London photo is wearing a short black and white skirt, black shoes, and a black scarf. She’s carrying an orange handbag. The man walking nearby is wearing a dark suit.Look at the two young people in the photo of Tokyo. The boy on the left is wearing a black shirt, black pants, and a lot of makeup on his face. The girl is wearing a long black coat. Both of them are wearing black boots.The American teenagers in the photo of New York are wearing blue jeans, and T-shirts. The boys are all wearing caps, too.The first stop on our global tour is London, one of the world’s fashion capitals. The man and woman pictured here are in the city’s business district. Many people in this area dress stylishly.From England, we go to New York City—hip hop fashion started here. Hip hop fashion was first popular in the nineteen eighties, but this style is now common all over the world.From New York City, we go next to Tokyo. The two young people in the photo are from Japan, but the style they’re wearing is originally from the U.K.These people don’t wear this style to work, but they do on the weekends.1. global tour 环球之旅2. business district商业区3. all over the world全世界4. wear this style穿成这种风格CONVERSATIONScriptA: I love your jacket.B: Thanks.A: Is it new?B: Yeah, I bought it on Saturday.A: It looks great.B: Thanks!LESSON B Smart ClothesListening 1ScriptScientists and clothing designers at Cornell University in the United States are working on fashion’s next big thing: “wearable technology.”These clothes do many different things, and some already exist. For example, Juan Hinestroza, a scientist from Colombia, is making shirts, pants, dresses, and other clothing items. Some of these clothes warm or cool your body when the weather changes. Others change color and style. A third type never gets dirty. We can use less water, says Hinestroza, if we don’t wash clothes all the time.Other scientists and designers are working together to protect people from malaria. Frederick Ochanda, a scientist from Kenya, is making a special suit to stop malaria. The clothes have a chemical inside that stops mosquitoes. Matilda Ceesay, a clothing designer from Gambia, is working with Ochanda to make the suit fashionable. This is important, she says, because the clothes must look good or no one will buy and wear them. Scientists need to work with fashion designers so the clothes are both comfortable and stylish.1.work on从事……工作2.wearable technology可穿戴技术3.protect people from malaria保护人们免受疟疾侵害Listening 2ScriptM: What are you doing?F: I’m reading about Google Glass.M: What’s that?F: It’s a kind of wearable technology from Google.

You can surf the Web, take photos, and make or watch video. It’s kind of like your phone, but you can’t call people.M: But if you’re wearing it, how do you take a photo?F: You say, “Take a photo” and it does it. Same with video.M: Sounds cool. And you can surf the Web, too?F: Yeah, and then you see a page in front of you.M: Amazing.F: I guess, but I don’t think I’d like to wear them.M: Why not?F: It looks weird, not stylish at all.M: Yeah, the style isn’t great, but I still like it.1.kind of有点儿;稍微2.Same with video.录像也同样操作。

Besides the above-mentioned communications channels, we have QQ, Microblog, WeChat, etc. The first one I used is QQ, because it first came into existence. The biggest advantage of it is that it enables me to send large attachments. I still use it now when I am in front of the computer. I also use Microblog, but I use it less often now, because not many people use it now. This implies one’s choice of communications channels is affected by others. Its main funy, which is a record of what I do, and what I think. It is also focused on current social events.

After that, dial your friend’s number.Q: What is the complete number the man should dial to reach his friend in Miami?The an should dial 01113055110897 to reach his friend in Miami.III. Listening InTask 1: Weather ForecastingWe all know that it’s not possible for man to control the weather. But we can tell what important changes there will be in the weather in the short term. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near; this is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and then rain will probably come. If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning, then the day will be arm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the stars twinkle at night, then fine weather will come the next day.1.B2.D3.C4.A5.DTask 2: Wrong Weather ForecastM: Hey, Jane! Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?W: Yeah. They’ll all be here at eleven sharp! I’ve got all the food and drinks for the barbecue, and Tom is bringing the grill.M: OK. I’ve got that old net; we can use that for beach volleyball.W: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve invited Class 2 and 3 as well. We’ll be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another; that’ll be great fun.M: Did you check the weather? I hope it’s going to stay nice for the weekend; we can’t have a picnic in the rain.W: No worries! I watched the weather forecast last night, and the weatherman said it’s going to be fine—maybe a little cloudy, but DEFINITELY no rain!(next morning)M: There’s terrible weather! It’s raining buckets!W: There’s no way we can go out in that. Those weatherman are useless—I hope they had a picnic today too.M: I don’t know what’s happened to the weather these days. When I was little, we never had this much rain in the summer. W: I AGREE. And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well? We always used to get snow in January. Now winter is more like spring!M: You’re telling me. I bet it’s all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that’s changing the weather.W: Oh, global warming and all that.M: I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on the picnic.1.They are planning to have their picnic on the weekend.2.They will be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another.3.It’ll be fine, and maybe a little cloudy, but there’ll be definitely no rain.4.Those weatherman are useless.5.All the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer are responsible for the changeable weather.Task 3: Global Climate ChangeToday, scientists have found that the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere have changed the global climate. These gases are largely due to human activities, such as the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. It is estimated that the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃ by 2100. This rate of warming is significant. The oceans will heat up and glaciers will melt. As a result, the global average sea level is expected to rise by 15-95 cm by 2100. In that case all coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Also, around the world weather events such as storms and floods will become more frequent and intense. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. So we must take effective measures to produce fewer greenhouse gases that cause it.Global climate is causes by the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere. These gases are largely due to the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. Scientists estimate that, by 2100, the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃ and global average sea level will rise by 15-95 cm. All coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. Task 4: An AnnouncementFriday looks really good. Sunny all day with a daytime temperature of 70 degrees. But bundle up Friday night, as the temperature will drop sharply. On Saturday, it will be cold and cloudy in the morning with strong winds. In the afternoon, there’s a good chance of snow flurries, and the temperature will only reach 37 degrees! On Sunday morning it will be cloudy, with some rain showers in the afternoon. But temperatures will rise to 50 degrees.IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnLisa: Sarah, would you mind not keeping the window open? All my papers have been blown off the desk and onto the floor! Sarah: I’m sorry. I didn’t realize the wind was so strong. You’re working on a paper?Lisa: Yeah, it has to be turned in this Wednesday.Sarah: Oh, I almost forgot! I’m going to give a presentation tomorrow morning, and I haven’t read a word yet!Lisa: Come on, you shouldn’t leave everything till the last minute.Model 2 It’s terrible!Now Your TurnAshley: Wow! What a wind! It’s terrible, isn’t it, Kathy?Katherine: You bet. There’s a dust storm blowing up.Ashley: Yeah. You could get blinded if you go outside.Katherine: The weather forecaster recommends staying indoors.Ashley: That’s the best we can do.Model 3 Take careNow Your TurnJames: How do you like my new motorcycle, Robert? I’m going to ride it into town.Robert: It’s cool1 But don’t you think it’s snowing too hard today?James: I don’t mind. What I really like is style, and riding a motorcycle is really stylish.Robert: Take care. Safety counts more than style.James: I know. But it’s thrilling to ride in the snow.Robert: Then, you’ll have to run the risk of having a bad fall.V. Let’s TalkEmma: Michael, whereabouts in China are you from?Michael: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about you?Emma: I’m from Scotland.Michael: Oh? What’s it like?Emma: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cols and often wet. I’m sure it’s the coldest part of the British Isles.Michael: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it’s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it’s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!Emma: Well ,I think you’re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland’s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.Michael: Do you think people’s personalities are defined by the climate they live in?Emma: Well, that’s an interesting idea. I think there’s definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it’s cooler, I feel much calmer.Michael: If it’s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!Emma: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.Michael: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.Emma: What about the winter blues? What are they?Michael: Well, that means you’re down in the dumps, because the weather’s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue!I often get them.Emma: Oh, I don’t. I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.Michael: A,B,E,GEmma: c,d,f,hFor ReferenceAA, complain about the awful weather.What awful weather! It’s going to rain, I think.B, agree with A and complain about the weather forecast.I think so. Why did the weather forecast say it’s going to be fine today? They always make such mistakes!A, promise you will never believe the weather forecast.Yeah. How can they be so stupid? I’ll never believe the forecast anymore!B, make a suggestion about what you do today.Forget about it. We can go to see a movie. What do you think?A, say what you think of B’s suggestion.OK, maybe we don’t have other choices.BA, complain about the hot weather.Ugh, I’ve had enough of these dog days. I am sweat all over.B, invite A to swim and take a sunbath.Why not go swimming and take a sunbath with me?A, say you are good at skiing but mot swimming.I am not a good swimmer. I wish I could go skiing in the North.B, persuade A to swim by promising to be his/her guide and lifeguard.Oh, come on. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I’ll be your guide and lifeguard. Do come with me. Alright?A, give your response to the invitation.No, the sun burns your skin. I’d rather sit before an electric fan eating ice creams.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Dust StormsAmerican researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to human health in the United States. The dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the sate of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and higher rates of allergies and breathing problems in people in this area.1. human health dust clouds2. the Sahara Atlantic Ocean South America3. October Central America the Caribbean4. the United States Florida the skies5. dust storms allergies breathing problemsTask 2: Mental Energy and SeasonYou may not believe that our mental energy varies from season to season. But some people think that it does. Research has shown that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. Scientists have discovered that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. Spring spears to be the best period of the year for thinking. People seem to be a lot sharper in spring than they are in any other season. One reason may be that in spring people’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in nature. Fall is the next-best season, then sinter. Summer seems to be the best time to take a long vacation from thinking. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of most people tend to be lowest in summer. Be aware of these facts, and you will bring your talent into full play.1.F2.T3.F4.F5.TTask 3: Raining in My HeartThe sun id outThe sky is blueThere’s not a cloud to spoil the viewBut it’s rainingRaining in my heartThe weatherman says fine todayHe doesn’t know that you’ve gone awayAnd it’s rainingRaining in my heartOh misery, miseryOh what’s gonna become of me?I tell myselfMy blues won’t showBut I know that soon all my tears will flowCome a raining downRaining in my heart…。

1 Social media is the collective of online communication channels for community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Work in pairs to name some common social media home and abroad, and talk about why you tend to use some communication channels rather than others.

Besides the above-mentioned communications channels, we have QQ, Microblog, WeChat, etc. The first one I used is QQ, because it first came into existence. The biggest advantage of it is that it enables me to send large attachments. I still use it now when I am in front of the computer. I also use Microblog, but I use it less often now, because not many people use it now. This implies one's choice of communications channels is affected by others. Its main function, I think, is like a diary, which is a record of what I do, and what I think. It is also focused on current social events.

What I use the most often now is WeChat. It is a mobile text and voice messaging communication service developed by Tencent in China, first released in January 2011. It is the largest standalone messaging app by monthly active users. It is the newest app among the three, but probably has the most users now. WeChat provides text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, broadcast (one-tomany) messaging, sharing of photographs and videos, and location sharing. Photographs may also be embellished with filters and captions, and a machine translation service is available. So I use it to send text messages, voices, photos both for fun and for work.
