Listen this way 听力教程第三册-5Unit 5 Meet People from around theWorldPart I Getting ready Audioscript:Presenter：Today Selina Kahn is in the arrival area at Gatwick Airport checking out today's topic -- national stereotypes. Selina ... Selinar：Thanks, John. I have with me Eric, who's just flown in with Virgin Atlantic from the USA.Eric：That's right. I've just come back from New York.Selinar：Is it as dangerous as they say?Eric：No, New York isn't dangerous, no more than any other big city, especially if you're careful and don't advertise the fact thatyou're a tourist.Selinar：And is it true what they say about New Yorkers, that they're rude, and that they only care about themselves?Eric：Well, I found the people were very friendly. However, they do have a reputation for not caring about other people. I think thereason for this is that life in New York is incredibly stressful.People just don't have the time to think about anybody else. Itisn't that they don't care.Selinar：Is there anything else you noticed about New Yorkers? Eric：Two things I had heard about before I went to New York did seem to be true, though. First is that they are always talkingabout money and how much things cost. Secondly, it's thatpeople eat all the time as they go about their daily lives, youknow they "graze on the hoof" as they walk about the streets. Selinar：Thanks Eric, and now I have with me, Sue, who's been to the south of France ...Part II New Icelanders Audioscript:New Zealand is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean about 1 200 miles southeast of Australia. It has about 2 575 000 people. Two thirds live on the North Islands, and one third on the larger South Island. Most of them are of British descent.Almost everyone in New Zealand knows how to read and write. Thegovernment provides free education for children from ages 3 to 19. Education is compulsory for children between the ages of 7 and 15, but most enter school by the age of 5. Young children who live far from schools belong to the Government Correspondence School and listen to daily school broadcasts on the radio.New Zealanders enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. There are no people of great wealth, but poverty is practically unknown. The majority of families live in one-story wooden homes. Most families have an automobile, and many have modern home appliances. Because the country is a major producer of sheep and dairy products, meat and butter form a larger share of the diet than is common in other countries. The people are among the world's greatest tea drinkers.Many of the books, magazines, and movies in New Zealand come from the United Kingdom or the United States. But the number of books published in the country is growing rapidly. Musical and theatrical groups come from Europe and North America to perform. The larger cities have radio and television stations. The National Symphony Orchestra gives concerts throughout the country, and there are also opera and ballet companies.New Zealanders enjoy the outdoors, and people of all ages take part in sports. Favorite holiday activities are camping, boating, hunting andfishing. Horse racing draws large crowds to racetracks. Rugby football is a national game. Other team sports are soccer, cricket, basketball, and field hockey.Statements：1. New Zealand is about 1 400 miles from Australia.2. More people live on the larger South Island than the North Island in New Zealand.3. Most New Zealanders are of British origin.4. Children in New Zealand usually go to school at the age of5.5. Not many New Zealanders have their own cars.6. New Zealanders are fond of drinking a lot of tea.Part III What do you think of Britain？Audioscript: ?Paul comes from Jamaica.Interviewer：What do you think of English food?Paul：English food -- right now, I can enjoy it, but when I first came up from the West Indies, I found it rather distasteful, rather boring,no flavor, no taste.Interviewer：What do you think of the English weather?Paul：The English weather -- I do not think there are enough adjectives to describe (it) -- miserable, cold, damp, changeable,depressing. I think bleak is the best word.Interviewer：Now what do you think about English people and their way of life?Paul：The older generation of English people are really snobbish -- the snob-nosed English. But the youth of England today -- they'rereally alive, you know, they're more vibrant, on fire, alive.They are much more free than their parents, crazy! Cindycomes from Los Angeles.Interviewer：What do you think of the English weather?Cindy：Well, it's rather cloudy and depressing. I get tired of all these "sunny intervals." There's not enough sunshine. Other than that,it's all right. It's not too cold, nor too warm.Interviewer：And have you had much opportunity to eat English food? Cindy：Yes, I avoid it, because it's dull. I think it's dull. And I think the English eat a lot of sweets and greasy food like chips. Interviewer：And what about the English way of life? What do you think of that?Cindy：Well, it's certainly more relaxed, but I think that the English people are -- tend to be -- difficult to get to know. They'rereserved. The cities are safer and I also think they're muchcleaner than the American cities, which makes it much morepleasant to live there. Usha comes from Madras, in India. Interviewer：Would you like to tell me what you think of the English weather? Usha：Well, the English weather is very changeable,but it's OK. Well, I like spring and autumn best. I think they arethe loveliest time of the year.Interviewer：And what about English food? What do you think of that?Usha：Well, English food is healthy. But I wouldn't like to haveit every day. It's rather ... I wouldn't say dull -- but too bland formy taste.Interviewer：And what about English people? How have you found them? Usha：Well, in the beginning, they are rather reserved,but once you get to know them, they are very friendly, and I'vegot many English friends now in England.Interviewer：And how have you found the English way of life?Usha：Well, city life is fast of course everywhere, but I like thecountryside very much. I like it very much, yes. Spiro comesfrom Salonika, in Greece.Interviewer：You've lived in England for about seven years. What do you think of English weather?Spiro：Well, I think the English winter is very depressing at times, especially when it drizzles all the time, and also the other thingthat makes it depressing is the long nights. It gets dark veryearly and you wake up and it's pitch black again, and so you goto work and it's very dark and you come home and it's darkagain. But in the summer, I think, when the sun's shining, it'svery pleasant indeed, with green parks, trees, very pleasant. Interviewer：And what about English food? What do you think of that?Spiro：Well, I think it's ... English food is all right, but there's a very limited selection of dishes. It's mostly roast and -- offhand --there's only about five typically English dishes I can think of,whereas compare that to Greek food, there's an enormousselection of dishes one could cook. Interviewer：And what doyou think of the English people?Spiro：I find them very reserved, but it seems that when you get to know them, they're quite friendly and sincere. But it usuallytakes some time to actually open an English person up -- if youlike.Interviewer：And what do you think of the English way of life? Spiro：Pretty awful, actually. It's the speed of life really that I find rather tiring.Part IV More about the topic:Native People of Alaska Audioscript:When the Russian discovered Alaska in 1741, they found it occupied by three groups of native peoples -- Eskimos, Aleuts, and Indians. Descendants of these natives still live in Alaska.Most scientists think that the native peoples migrated originally from Asia to North America, not all at once but in wave after wave over thousands of years. Probably the last to enter Alaska were the ancestors of the northern Eskimos.Eskimos Of the different groups of native peoples, the Eskimos are the most numerous. From earliest times the Eskimos depended upon sea mammals, fish, and caribou for their living. In the 1890's reindeer werebrought from Siberia to start herds as an additional means of livelihood.Many Eskimos now live in frame houses heated by fuel oil, but they once lived in sod and driftwood huts heated by seal-oil lamps. They did not build snow ig100s, as some of the Canadian Eskimos still do, except for emergency shelter.The Eskimos are superb hunters. They are an energetic people who have long been known for their ivory carving and other arts and crafts. Their way of life is changing as they find opportunities for schooling and for employment in trades and professions.Aleuts The Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula are the homelands of the Aleuts. The Aleut language is related to the language of the Eskimos, and yet it is very different. Like the Eskimos, the Aleuts have always depended on the sea for food and other needs. Some of the present-day Aleuts operate fishing boats. Others work in fish canneries. Many Aleuts have Russian names, which go back to the time of the Russian occupation of Alaska.Indians There are two major groups of Indians -- the Indians of the Interior Plateau and the Indians of Southeastern Alaska.The Indians who live in the interior came to Alaska from Canada. Originally they were hunters. Some of them still live by hunting, fishing, and trapping. Others have moved to towns, where they live and work as do other present-day Alaskans.The Indians of Southeastern Alaska are sometimes known as the maritime Indians, or Indians who live near the sea. They have been in Alaska for hundreds of years. Carving and basket making are among the crafts of the maritime Indians. They are known for their totem poles. From earliest times they depended on fish, especially salmon, for their living. Today they are efficient business people who operate commercial fishing boats and canneries. They also follow other occupations such as logging, shopkeeping, and working in government offices.Part V Do you know ...? Audioscript:Dan Cruickshank：I'm at Cuiaba in the western Brazil -- and I'm about to fly, go by car, and by boat, around 750 kilometres into theAmazon rainforest to find my living treasure. My treasure's notan ancient artifact, but something very special that continues tobe created and used by people deep in the rainforest.After several hours, we cross the threshold into what remainsof the rainforest. It's been fenced off and is now protected bythe Brazilian government. I head down the Warema River, atributary of the Amazon, towards my treasure. It's anunbelievably beautiful work of art, created by a tribe called theIgbatsa (Rikbaktsa). Excellent reception committee. Wonderwho I approach. Hello.That is what I've come to see -- the headdress. My most colourful of treasures is a symbol of the Amazon and an object of immense importance to these people. Here we go.Oh my god. Wow. I expected one, maybe two, umahara, but a whole hut full. Beautiful objects, beautifully made, but more to the point, they're full of meaning to these people. They celebrate their culture, their aspirations, their religion. And made from human hair, parrot feathers. Ah, absolutely wonderful. The umahara headdress is worn with great pride by the Igbatsa (Rikbaktsa) people. It's the emblem of an endangered culture. It once played a key role in war ceremonies and is still used in dance rituals. This dance takes place every day for 90 days after the first of June. It's a celebration of birth and all things new. During the dance wives have the right to ask favours of their husbands, who are obliged to grant them.After the dance, I talk to members of the tribe about the headdress and how it's made.Can I ask what it -- what it means to them today, the umahara headdress?Interpreter：He says the umahara represents a great richness in their own culture. And for their future. For their future, theyshouldn't stop creating it and using it for their own use.Dan Cruickshank：Represents their sense of identity really. Interpreter：It represents the identity of the Igbatsa (Rikbaktsa) people. Dan Cruickshank：So we've got feathers from parrots and -- and female hair. That -- that is correct, is it... really? On -- onto -- Interpreter：This is from the -- a Marella clan.Dan Cruickshank：Yes, there is the hair.It's all rather perplexing. To preserve their traditions, theIgbatsa (Rikbaktsa) have to make the umahara headdresses. Yetin so doing, they must kill protected bird species for theirfeathers. While the faces and bodies of the men and women arebrightly painted in the traditional way, they sport natty shortsand bikini tops. Bit by bit, the Igbatsa (Rikbaktsa) are beingdrawn into the modern world, whether they like it or not. Asevening approaches, preparations are being made for supper. Arather tasty feast awaits me. This all brings back very deepmemories. The family halls scattered round about thecompound, the main hall where the communal ceremonies takeplace -- the people gathered round the fire at night eating. Thefields round about. It's like an Anglo-Saxon village in Englanda couple of hundred years ago. It's like meeting one's ancestorscoming back here.Statements:1. The Igbatsa (Rikbaktsa) people live in Brazil.2. The headdress is made from parrot feathers and male hair.3. The headdress is now used in dance rituals to celebrate birthand all things new.4. The dance takes place every day in June.5. During the dance, husbands cannot refuse favors asked bytheir wives.6. The Igbatsa (Rikbaktsa) people do not like the modern wayof life.Part VII Watch and enjoy Videoscript:Narrator：It looks like a paradise, but it is in fact the most treacherous desert in the world：the Kalahari. After the short rainy season, there are many water holes, and even rivers. But after a few weeks, the water sinks away into the deep Kalahari sand. The water holes dry up, and the rivers stop flowing. The grass fades to a beautiful blond color that offersexcellent grazing for the animals. But for the next nine months, there'll be no water to drink. So most of the animals move away, leaving the beautiful blond grass uneaten. Humans avoid the deep Kalahri like the plague because man must have water to live. So the beautiful landscapes are devoid of people, except for the little people of the Kalahari. Pretty, dainty, small and graceful, the Bushmen. Where any other person would die of thirst in a few days, they live quite contentedly in this desert that doesn't look like a desert. They know where to dig for roots and bulbs and tubers and which berries and pods are good to eat. And of course they know what to do about water. For instance, in the early morning, you can collect dewdrops from leaves that were carefully laid out the previous evening. Or a plume of grass can be a reservoir. And if you have the know-how, an insignificant clump of twigs can tell you where to dig, then you come to light with an enormous tuber. You scrape shavings off it with a stick that is split for a sharp edge. You take a handful of the shavings, point your thumb at your mouth and squeeze. They must be the most contented people in the world. They have no crime, no punishment, no violence, no laws, no police, judges, rulers or bosses. They believe that the gods put only good and useful things on the earth for them to use. In this world of theirs, nothing is bad or evil. Even a poisonous snake is not bad. You just have to keep away from the sharp end. Actually, a snake is very good. In fact, it's delicious and theskin makes a fine pouch. They live in the vastness of the Kalahari in small family groups.One family of Bushmen might meet up with another family once in a few years. But for the most part, they live in complete isolation, quite unaware that there are other people in the world. In the deep Kalahari, there are Bushmen who have never seen or heard of civilized man. Sometimes they hear a thundering sound when there are no clouds in the sky, and they assume that the gods have eaten too much again and their rummies are rumbling up there. Sometimes they can even see the evidence of the gods' flatulence. Their language has an idiosyncrasy of its own. It seems to consist mainly of clicking sounds. They are very gentle people. They'll never punish a child or even speak harshly to it. So of course their kids are extremely well-behaved. And their games are cute and inventive. When the family needs meat, the hunter dips his tiny arrow in a brew that acts as a tranquilizer. So when he shoots a buck, it only feels a sting and the arrow drops out. The buck runs away, but soon it gets very drowsy and it stops running. After a while, it goes to sleep. And the hunter apologizes to his prey. He explains that his family needs the meat. The one characteristic which really makes the Bushmen different from all the other races on earth is the fact that they have no sense of ownership at all. Where they live, there's really nothing you can own. Only trees and grass and animals. In fact these Bushmen havenever seen a stone or a rock in their lives. The hardest things they know are wood and bone. They live in a gentle world, where nothing is as hard as rock, or steel or concrete.。

中级英语听力教程：Lesson 5 Is He a Hero
Is He a Hero?Text A"Fire! Fire! " What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house-the sort that burns beautifully---and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only balf-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in thc opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an opcn door and ran into a room to get to the window.But bcfore I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes , and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor . gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front . put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thincry. I nearly dropped it in my surprisel? Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man's coat screamed" as she saw me and came running madly."My baby ! My baby! " she cried. The crowd chcered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor's wife, and I had saved her baby. I was a hero!Text BTeresa went up to Mrs Webster's room, two stairs at a time. She was nearly at the top when she stopped and sniffed. A strong smell of gas was coming from that direction. Teresa ran up the remaining stairs and threw open the door. She put her hands over her mouth to stop a scream. Mrs Webster was lying on the floor near the sink. Her skin and lips had a pinkish colour and she appeared to be unconscious. The room was full of gas.Additional InformationWho doesn't love sitting beside a cosy fire on a cold winter's night? Who doesn't love to watch flames curling upa chimney? Fire is one of man's greatest friends, but also one of his greatest enemies. Many big fires are causedby carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes,though, a fire can start on its own.Wet hay can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to.rot and begins to give off heat whichis trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That's why farmers cut and store their hay when it's dry.Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the l7th century, a small fire which began in a baker's shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 A. D. Nero fiddled while Rome burned! Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods. fire causes millions of pounds' worth of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master.1bundlen.捆，包，束；一堆，一批；v.把…扎成一捆My uncle sent me a large bundle on my birthday.我生日时叔父给我寄来一个大包裹。
梦想英语每日一课 跟Jane 一起学习赖世雄中级英语 lesson 5
Lesson 5 Bungee JumpingBungee Jumping looks like fun. It makes me nervous just to watch someone do it. It certainly takes a lot of guts to jump 1000 feet above the water with only a rope tired to your legs. It scares me just to think about it. However, it is something I really want to do one day.Some people think I am crazy. They say to Jump is foolish enough. But to have to pay for it, it is madness. I don't agree. For me, to live a short and exciting life is far better than to live a long and boring one. What do you think?Prelude:Peter: On this page, we have a new lesson, lesson 5. And we have a pictiure here. This picture describes a person. Oh, rather,no, this is not a person, but an animal. But looks very fimilar to me. What it is?Bruce: It is wild Bruce. oh,,,,, wild boar(野猪）.Peter: Well, this is not the case with Bruce. He will think that Bungee Jumping is something we should do. So, tell us some history about this activity. I think if I remember correctly, it originated in that country, Newsland.Bruce: That's right. It originated in Newsland. To originate simply means to start someplace, to start somewhere. Newsland is an island nation in the south Pacific. It's an English speaking country and it is not very big in population. But, some of the people there really like to have an exciting, fun time. So they had the idea that you could jump from a bridge, or jump from a tall building with a rope tired to your leg, just as we see here in the picture. There is a rope tired to one of the wild boar's four legs. And that rope will stop you from hitting the ground.originate: originate in (起源于，发源于）Paper originated in China。

Lesson 1'T his Is Your Life' is one of the most popular programmes on British and American television. Every week a famous person is invited to a television studio, without knowing that he or she will be the subject of the programme. The compère meets the person outside the studio and says 'This is your life!' The person then meets friends and relatives from his or her past and present. Studio 4 is where the programme is recorded. The programme begins at eight o'clock. It's 6:45 now and the director is checking the preparations with his new production assistant (PA). The subject of tonight's show will be an actor, Jason Douglas. The compère, as usual, will be Terry Donovan.D irector: Let's just check the arrangements. We're bringing Jason Douglas here in a studio car—he thinks he's coming to a discussion programme! The driver has been told to arrive at exactly 7:55. Now, the programme begins at eight o'clock. At that time Jason will be walking to the studio. Terry Donovan will start his introduction at 8:01, and Jason will arrive at 8:02. Terry will meet him at the studio entrance ... Camera 4 will be there. Then he'll take him to that seat. It'll be on Camera 3. Jason will be sitting there during the whole programme. For most of the show Terry will be standing in the middle, and he'll be on Camera 2. The guests will come through that door, talk to Terry and Jason ... and then sit over there.D irector: Now, is that all clear?P A: Yes ... there's just one thing.D irector: Well, what is it?P A: Who's going to look after the guests during the show?D irector: Pauline is.P A: And where will they be waiting during the show?D irector: In Room 401, as usual. Pauline will be waiting with them, and she'll be watching the show on the monitor. She'll tell them two minutes before they enter.PA: I think that's everything.Terry: Good evening and welcome to 'This is Your Life'. This is Terry Donovan speaking. We're waiting for the subject of tonight's programme. He's one of the world's leading actors, and he thinks he's coming here to take part in a discussion programme ... I can hear him now ... yes, here he is! Jason Douglas ... This is your life!Jason: Oh, no ... I don't believe it! Not me ...Terry: Yes, you! Now come over here and sit down. Jason, you were born at number 28 Balaclava Street in East Ham, London on July 2nd, 1947. You were one of six children, and your father was a taxi driver. Of course, your name was then Graham Smith.Terry: Now, do you know this voice? 'I remember Jason when he was two. He used to scream and shout all day.'Jason: Susan!Terry: Yes ... all the way from Sydney, Australia ... She flew here specially for this programme. It's your sister, Susan Fraser!Jason: Susan ... Why didn't you tell me ... oh, this is wonderful!Terry: Yes, you haven't seen each other for 13 years ... take a seat next to him, Susan. You started school at the age of five, in 1952, and in 1958 you moved to Lane End Secondary School.Terry: Do you remember this voice? 'Smith! Stop looking out of the window!'Jason: Oh, no! It's Mr. Hooper!Terry: Your English teacher, Mr. Stanley Hooper. Was Jason a good student, Mr. Hooper?Mr. Hooper: Eh? No, he was the worst in the class ... but he was a brilliant actor, even in those days. He could imitate all the teachers?Terry: Thank you, Mr. Hooper. You can speak to Jason, later. Well, you went to the London School of Drama in 1966, and left in 1969. In 1973 you went to Hollywood.Terry: Do you know this voice? 'Hi Jason ... Can you ride a horse yet?'Jason: Maria!Terry: Maria Montrose ... who's come from Hollywood to be with you tonight.Maria: Hello, Jason ... it's great to be here. Hello, Terry. Jason and I were in a movie together in 1974. Jason had to learn to ride a horse ... Well, Jason doesn't like horses very much.Jason: Like them! I'm terrified of them!Maria: Anyway, he practised for two weeks. Then he went to the director ... it was Charles Orson ... and said, 'What do you want me to do?' Charles said, 'I want you to fall off the horse'. Jason was furious. He said, 'What? Fall off! I've been practising for two weeks ... I could fall off the first day ... without any practice!'Interviewer: Good morning, sir.

Here to introduce the programme is Patricia Newell. Good morning, Patricia.Patricia: Good morning, and good morning everyone. With me in the studio now is this morning's guest, Trevor Cartridge. Good morning, Trevor.Trevor: Good morning, Patricia.Patricia: Trevor, you have one of the most unusual stories I've ever heard. Yet, nowadays, you seem to lead a very ordinary life.Trevor: Yes, Patricia. I'm a dentist. I live and work in London.Patricia: But at one time you used to have a different job?Trevor: Yes, I was a soldier.Patricia: A soldier?Trevor: That's right.Patricia: And how long ago was that?Trevor: Oh, about two thousand years ago.Patricia: That's right. Trevor Cartridge believes that he was a soldier in the army of Julius Caesar. He remembers coming to Britain with the Roman army two thousand years ago. Trevor, tell us your remarkable story ... in your own words!Trevor: Well, funnily enough, it all began because I wanted to give up smoking.Patricia: Give up smoking!Trevor: Mm, I used to smoke too much and I tried to give up several times, but I always started smoking again a few days later. In the end I went to a hypnotist. He hypnotized me, and I stopped smoking at once. I was delighted, as you can imagine.Patricia: Yes?Trevor: That made me very interested in hypnotism, and I talked to the hypnotist about it. He told me that some people could remember their past lives when they were hypnotized, and he asked if I wanted to try. I didn't believe it at first, but in the end I agreed. He hypnotized me, and sure enough, I remembered. I was a Roman soldier in Caesar's army.Patricia: You didn't believe it at first?Trevor: I didn't believe it before we tried the experiment. Now I'm absolutely convinced it's true.Patricia: What do you remember?Trevor: Oh, all kinds of things, but the most interesting thing I remember is the night we landed in Britain.Patricia: You remember that?Trevor: Oh yes. It was a terrible, stormy night. There were a hundred or more of us in the boat. We were all shut in, because the weather was so bad and most people were sick, because it was very stuffy. There was a terrible smell of petrol, I remember. Lots of men thought we should go back to France. It wasn't called 'France' then, of course.Patricia: And there was a smell of petrol?Trevor: Yes, it was terrible. The weather got worse and worse. We thought we were going to die. In the end the boat was pushed up onto the sands, and we climbed out. I remember jumping into the water and struggling to the beach. The water was up to my shoulders and it was a freezing night. A lot of men were killed by the cold or drowned in the storm, but I managed to get ashore.Patricia: You did?Trevor: Yes. There were about ten survivors from our boat, but even then our troubles weren't over. We found a farmhouse, but it was deserted. When the people read the newspapers, and knew that we were coming, they were terrified. They took all their animals and all their food, and ran away into the hills. Of course, there were no proper roads in those days. Well, we went into the house and tried to light a fire, but we couldn't even do that. We always kept matches in our trousers' pockets, so naturally they were all soaked. We couldn't find anything to eat, except one tin of cat food. We were so hungry, we broke it open with our knives, and ate it. We found a tap, but the water was frozen.In the end we drank rainwater from the tin. We sat very close together and tried to keep warm. We could hear wolves but we didn't have any weapons, because our guns were full of seawater. By the morning, the storm was over. We went on to the beach and found what was left of the boat. We managed to find some food, and we hoped there was some wine too, but when we opened the box all the bottles were broken.Patricia: So what happened?Trevor: We waited. Finally another boat came and took us away, and we joined the other soldiers. I remember going into the camp, and getting a hot meal, and clean clothes. It was wonderful. We were given our pay, too. I remember the date on the coins, 50 BC. It was an exciting time.Patricia: And did you stay in Britain?Trevor: Oh yes, I was here for five years, from 50 BC to 55 BC. I enjoyed my stay in Britain very much.Patricia: And then you went back to Rome?Trevor: I can't remember anything after that.Patricia: Well, Trevor Cartridge, thank you for telling us your story, in your own words.The KnowledgeBecoming a London taxi driver isn't easy. In order to obtain a licence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called 'The Knowledge' by London cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get 'The Knowledge'. Candidates are examined not only on the quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart.The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the 'tube') presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour-coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correct fares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets. You should keep the ticket, because it is checked at the destination.Lesson 2Interviewer: Is film editing a complicated job?Film Editor: Oh yes, a lot of people probably don't know how complicated a job it can be. It's far more than just sticking pieces of film together.Interviewer: How long does it take to edit a film?Film Editor: Well, it depends. You can probably expect to edit a 10-minute film in about a week. A 35-minute documentary, like the one I'm editing at present, takes a minimum of four to five weeks to edit.Interviewer: Can you explain to me how film editing works?Film Editor: There are different steps. 'Synching up', for example.Interviewer: What do you mean by synching up?Film Editor: It means matching sound and pictures and that is usually done by my assistant. The film and the sound tape have numbers stamped along the edge which have to be matched. The details of the film and the sound are also recorded in a log book, so it's quick and easy to find a particular take and its soundtrack. This operation is called logging and is again done by my assistant.Interviewer: So what do you usually do yourself?Film Editor: A lot of things, of course. First, I have to view all the material to make a first selection of the best takes. There's a lot of film to look through because to make a sequence work the way you want, you need a lot of shots to choose from.Interviewer: Does that mean that you have to discard sequences?Film Editor: Oh yes. On average for every foot of edited film, you need twelve times as much unedited film and therefore you have to compromise and, of course, discard some of it.Interviewer: What do you do after selecting the material?Film Editor: First of all, I prepare an initial version of the film, a 'rough cut' as it is called. That means that I actually cut the film into pieces and stick them together again in the new order.Interviewer: And after this 'rough cut' what happens?Film Editor: Well, after the 'rough cut' comes the 'fine cut' when the film takes its final form. The producer and the director come in for a viewing. Some small changes may then be necessary, but when the 'fine cut' has been approved by everyone, this is the final version of the film.Interviewer: At this point is the film ready for distribution?Film Editor: Oh no. After the final version of the film has been approved, there is the dubbing, there are voices, music, background noises and sometimes special effects to be put together for the soundtrack. And after the dubbing, the edited film is sent to the 'neg' cutters.Interviewer: What do the 'neg' cutters do?Film Editor: They cut the original negatives on the films, so that these match the edited film exactly. And after all that comes the best part—I can sit down quietly with my feet up and enjoy watching the film!Man: Hi.Woman: Hi.Man: What'd you do last night?Woman: I watched TV. There was a really good movie called Soylent Green.Man: Soylent Green?Woman: Yeah. Charlton Heston was in it.Man: What's it about?Woman: Oh, it's about life in New York in the year 2022.Man: I wonder if New York will still be here in 2022.Woman: In this movie, in 2022 ...Man: Yeah?Woman: ... New York has forty million people.Man: Ouch!Woman: And twenty million of them are unemployed.Man: How many people live in New York now? About seven or eight million?Woman: Yeah, I think that's right.Man: Mm-hmm. You know, if it's hard enough to find an apartment now in New York City, what's it going to be like in 2022?Woman: Well, in this movie most people have no apartment. So thousands sleep on the steps of buildings. (Uh-huh.) People who do have a place to live have to crawl over sleeping people to get inside. And there are shortages of everything. The soil is so polluted that nothing will grow. (Ooo.) And the air is so polluted they never see the sun. It's really awful.Man: I think I'm going to avoid going to New York City in the year 2022.Woman: And there was this scene where the star, Charlton Heston, goes into a house where some very rich people live.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: He can't believe it, because they have running water and they have soap.Man: Really?Woman: And then he goes into the kitchen and they have tomatoes and lettuce and beef. He almost cries because he's never seen real food in his life, you know, especially the beef. It was amazing for him.Man: Well, if most people have no real food, what do they eat?Woman: They eat something called soylent.Man: Soylent?Woman: Yeah. There's soylent red and soylent yellow and soylent green. The first two are made out of soybeans. But the soylent green is made out of ocean plants. (Ugh.) The people eat it like crackers.Man: That sounds disgusting.Woman: Well, you know, it really isn't that far from reality.Man: No?Woman: Yeah. Because, you know the greenhouse effect that's beginning now and heating up the earth ...Man: Oh, yeah, I've heard about that.Woman: ... because we're putting the pollutants in the atmosphere, you know?Man: Mm-hmm.Woman: I mean, in this movie New York has ninety degrees weather all year long. And it could really happen. Uh ... like now, we ... we have fuel shortages. And in the movie there's so little electricity that people have to ride bicycles to make it.Man: You know something? I don't think that movie is a true prediction of the future.Woman: I don't know. It scares me. I think it might be.Man: Really?Woman: Well, yeah.The native Americans, the people we call the 'Indians', had been in America for many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people 'Indians'.The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them; they taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts; they introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians.But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. The Indians had to move back into the centre of the continent because the settlers were taking all their land.The Indians couldn't understand this. They had a very different idea of land from the Europeans. For the Indians, the land, the earth, was their mother. Everything came from their mother, the land, and everything went back to it. The land was for everyone and it was impossible for one man to own it. How could the White Man divide the earth into parts? How could he put fences round it, buy it and sell it?Naturally, when the White Man started taking all the Indians' land, the Indians started fighting back. They wanted to keep their land, they wanted to stop the White Man taking it all for himself. But the White Man was stronger and cleverer. Slowly he pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that he didn't want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably.By 1875 the Indians had lost the fight: they were living in special places called 'reservations'. But even here the White Man took land from them—perhaps he wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or he even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the White Man.There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the White Man. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the White Man is good and brave. But was it really like that? What do you think? Do you think the Indians were right or wrong to fight the White Man?Interviewer: Today, there are more than 15 million people living in Australia. Only 160,000 of these are Aborigines, so where have the rest come from? Well, until 1850 most of the settlers came from Britain and Ireland and, as we know, many of these were convicts. Then in 1851 something happened which changed everything. Gold was discovered in southeastern Australia. During the next ten years, nearly 700,000 people went to Australia to find gold and become rich. Many of them were Chinese. China is quite near to Australia. Since then many different groups of immigrants have gone to Australia for many different reasons. Today I'm going to talk to Mario whose family came from Italy and to Helena from Greece. Mario, when did the first Italians arrive in Australia?Mario: The first Italians went there, like the Chinese, in the gold-rushes, hoping to find gold and become rich. But many also went there for political reasons. During the 1850s and 1860s different states in Italy were fighting for independence and some Italians were forced to leave their homelands because they were in danger of being put in prison for political reasons.Interviewer: I believe there are a lot of Italians in the sugar industry.Mario: Yes, that's right. In 1891 the first group of 300 Italians went to work in the sugarcane fields of northern Australia. They worked very hard and many saved enough money to buy their own land. In this way they came to dominate the sugar industry on many parts of the Queensland coast.Interviewer: But not all Italians work in the sugar industry, do they?Mario: No. A lot of them are in the fishing industry. Italy has a long coastline, as you know, and Italians have always been good fishermen. At the end of the nineteenth century some of these went to western Australia to make a new life for themselves. Again, many of them, including my grandfather, were successful.Interviewer: And what about the Greeks, Helena?Helena: Well, the Greeks are the fourth largest national group in Australia, after the British, the Irish and the Italians. Most Greeks arrived after the Second World War but in the 1860s there were already about 500 Greeks living in Australia.Interviewer: So when did the first Greeks arrive?Helena: Probably in 1830, they went to work in vineyards in southeastern Australia. The Greeks have been making wine for centuries so their experience was very valuable.Interviewer: But didn't some of them go into the coalmines?Helena: Yes, they weren't all able to enjoy the pleasant outdoor life of the vineyards. Some of them went to work in the coalmines in Sydney. Others started cafes and bars and restaurants. By 1890 there were Greek cafes and restaurants all over Sydney and out in the countryside (or the bush, as the Australians call it) as well.Interviewer: And then, as you said, many Greeks arrived after the Second World War, didn't they?Helena: Yes, yes, that's right. Conditions in Greece were very bad: there was very little work and many people were very poor. Australia needed more workers and so offered to pay the boat fare. People who already had members of their family in Australia took advantage of this offer and went to find a better life there.Interviewer: Well, thank you, Mario and Helena. Next week we will be talking to Juan from Spain and Margaret from Scotland.(1) A: It doesn't sound much like dancing to me.B: It is; it's great.A: More like some competition in the Olympic Games.C: Yeah. It's (pause) good exercise. Keeps you fit.(2) A: But you can't just start dancing in the street like that.B: Why not? We take the portable cassette recorder and when we find a nice street, we (pause) turn the music up really loud and start dancing.(3) A: We have competitions to see who can do it the fastest without falling over. Malc's the winner so far.B: Yeah, I'm the best. I teach the others but (pause) they can't do it like me yet.(4) A: You're reading a new book, John?B: Yes. Actually, (pause) it's a very old book.(5) A: Now, can you deliver all this to my house?B: Certainly. Just (pause) write your address and I'll get the boy to bring them round.(6) A: Good. I've made a nice curry. I hope you do like curry?B: Yes, I love curry, I used to work in India, as a matter of fact.A: Really? How interesting. You must (pause) tell us all about it over dinner.The Foolish FrogOnce upon a time a big, fat frog lived in a tiny shallow pond. He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water snails listened politely. And the water beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon fly passed by. 'You're a very fine frog,' she sang, 'but why don't you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You'll find a lot of frogs there. You'll meet some fine fish, and you'll see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!''Perhaps it is rather dull here,' thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon fly. But he didn't like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn't like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, 'I don't like it here. I think I'll go home tomorrow.'But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Clerk: Hello, sir. What can I do for you?Customer: Hi. Uh ... I have this ... uh ... cassette player (Mm-hmm.) here that I bought about six months ago. And it just ruined four of my favourite cassettes.Clerk: Oh dear, I'm sorry.。

If you prepare thoroughly and do a few practice runs, you can boost your confidence and sell your product or service to the best of your ability.1. Research your prospect’s company as well as your own. Know everything you can about the company you’re pitching to so you can tailor your sales presentation to fit its needs.2. Design a presentation that best fits the needs of your prospective client. For example, if you’re selling a product, bring a sample or prototype along with you. If your product or service is very detailed, use charts, pictures and handouts to help emphasize your point.3. Start your presentation by giving a brief company history. It’s better if this isn’t too detailed because businesspeople often have limited time to listen to sales pitches. Be engaging to hold your client’s attention.4. Tell the client how your product fits his company’s needs. Identify several ways that your product can boost profits for his company. Be specific and focus on what the company values; for example, if the client's main goal is to improve customer service, don’t just tell the representative how your service can increase his bottom line.5. Make a comparison between your product and others that are available. Bydirectly addressing the competition, you answer some questions the client may not feel comfortable asking.6. Explain your company’s process for delivering the product, turnaround time, customization, invoicing and cost. Give brief details about these items to round out your business presentation.7. Answer questions the customer has. It’s best to prepare responses to objections and hard questions before you start your presentation so you can answer each question thoroughly. If you don’t know an answer, tell the client you’ll find out and get back to him promptly.8. Close your presentation by thanking your prospect and inviting her to call or email you at her convenience.Don’t be pushy but let her know that you’re ready to get started when she is.Keys:1) Research your prospect’s company as well as your own.2) Design a presentation that best fits the needs of your prospective client.3) Start your presentation by giving a brief company history.4) tell the client how your product fits his company’s needs.5) Make a comparison between your product and others that are available.6) Explain your company’s process for delivering the product, turnaroun d time,customization, invoicing and cost.7) Answer questions the customer has.8) Close your presentation by thanking your prospect and inviting her to call or email you at her convenience.3 Listen to a product presentation and choose the best answer to the questions. Script:Today I’d like to present our new convertible the “Open Sky”. We are extremely proud to present this product to you. The “Open Sky” has been developed by a team of aerodynamic experts over the past three years. It has been tested and driven for more than 200,000 hours on the open road.Before we begin, I’d like to briefly talk about our company’s history with the convertible. The convertible was introduced in 1922 and was an immediate success in Southern Europe. In 1956 our first convertible, named “Sole”, was manufactured. Another great success was in 1972 when the “Vento” was manufactured. The “Vento” was sold for a record 15 years! Then in 1986 the 'Roadster' was introduced and was a great success.As you can see, we have had over 45 years of experience building extremely popular convertibles. The “Open Sky” represents our most advanced design to date. More than 20,000 “Open Sky” cars have been ordered in the first three months. The “Open Sky” has been designed with young p eople in mind. The “Open Sky” has also been designed for safety. Four-Wheel Drive, ABS and airbags are standard on all models. GPS has also been included on the deluxe model for navigation assistance.The perfect combination of elegance and safety, the “Open Sky” will certainly be our most popular convertible to date!Keys:1) B 2) C 3) C 4) C 5) AEpisode 4 Small Talks3 Listen to some small talks and fill in the summary for each conversationbased on your understanding.Conversation 1Script:James: Hello, are you Muriel Douglas?It’s nice to meet you at long last.It’s nice tIt’s nice to meet you at long last.James: Y es, you too.

Unit 1 A time to rememberConversation 2ATed: Oh, I’m really sorry. Are you OK?Ana: I’m fine. But I’m not very good at this.Ted: Neither am I. Say, are you from South America?Ana: Yes, I am, originally. I was born in Argentina.Ted: Did you grow up there?Ana: Yes, I did, but my family moved here eight years ago, when I was in high school.Ted: And where did you learn to Rollerblade?Ana: Here in the park. This is only my second time.Ted: Well, it’s my first time. Can you give me some lessons?Ana: Sure, Just follow me.Ted: By the way, my name is Ted.Ana: And I’m Ana. Nice to meet you.Conversation 2BTed: Hey, that was fun. Thanks for the lesson!Ana: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do?Ted: I work in a travel agency.Ana: Really! What do you do there?Ted: I’m in charge of their computers.Ana: Oh, so you’re a computer specialist.Ted: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.Ana: T hat’s great. Then maybe you can give me some help with a computer course I’m tak ing.Ted: Oh, sure . . . but only if you promise to give me some more Rollerblading lessons.Ana: I t’s a deal!Listening 4Yu HongInterviewer: Where are you from originally, Yu Hong?Yu Hong: I’m from china . . . from near Shanghai.Interviewer: And when did you move here?Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992.Interviewer: And what do you do now?Yu Hong: I’m a transportation engineer.Interviewer: I see. S o you’re an immigrant to the United States.Yu Hong: Yes, that’s right.Interviewer: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.?Yu Hong: Oh, that’s not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don’t have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that’s not the samething. In china, on holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn’t the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?Yu Hong: O h, that’s easy: my mom’s soup! Sh e makes great soup. I really miss my mother’s cooking.AjayInterviewer: Where are you from, Ajay?Ajay: I’m from India.Interviewer: And when did you move to the U.S.?Ajay: It was in 1991.Interviewer: Are you studying here at the moment?Ajay: N ot now. I came here as a student and graduated two years ago. I’m working as a computer technician. Interviewer: Uh-huh. And what was it like when you first came here? Was it difficult?Ajay: Yeah, it was at times. The main difficulty I had was with the educational system. Things are very different here. Teaching methods, everything is very different from what I was used to in India. Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from India?Ajay: To tell you the truth, after you’re here for a while, you don’t miss anything very much. Hmmm, but I guess the weather and my family are the things I miss. And the quality of life. The quality of life is muchnicer back home, frankly speaking.Conversation 7AJeff: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?Kim: Yeah, that’ me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer.Jeff: Wow, I bet that was fun!Kim: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach .I had a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic!Jeff: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!Conversation 7BJeff: You know what I remember most about growing up?Kim: What?Jeff: V isiting my grandparent’s house… you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just loved that horse – and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent’s house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.Kim: Ah, memories!Unit 2 Caught in the rushConversation 2ALynn: Why is there never a bus when you want one?Sam: Good question. There aren’t enough buses on this rout e.Lynn: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.Sam: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.Lynn: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.Sam: And fewer cars! There’s too much traffic.Lynn: Say, is that our bus coming?Sam: Yes, it is. But look. It’s full!Lynn: Oh, no! Let’s go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I’m going to write.Conversation 2BSam: So, are you really going to write a letter to the paper?Lynn: Sure. I’m going to say something about the buses. T hey’re too old. W e need more modern buses… nice air-conditioned ones.Sam: And they need to put more buses on the road.Lynn: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn’t enough parking.Sam: T hat’s for sure. It’s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.Lynn: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.Sam: Oh, you mean they shouldn’t allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. H mm… that sounds like a really good idea.Listening 4Engineer: Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent public transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.Conversation 8 AErica: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?Man: There’s one upstairs, across from t he duty-free shop.Erica: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?Man: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00 A.M.Erica: Good, and can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?Man: You need to check at the transportation counter. It’s right down the hall.Erica: Ok, And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?Man: Right behind you. ma’am. See that sign?Erica: Oh. Thanks a lot.Conversation 8 BErica: Excuse me. It’s me again. I’m sorry. I need some more information – if you don’t mind.Man: Not at all.Erica: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?Man: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.Erica: Forty dollars? I guess I’ll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?Man: Go upstairs and turn right. You’ll see the snack bar on your left.Erica: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.Man: You, too.Unit 3 Time for a change!Conversation 2 A Apartment huntingMr. Dean: What do you think?Mrs. Dean: Well，it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.Jenny: But the bedrooms are too small. And there isn’t e nough closet space for my clothes.Mr. Dean: And it’s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.Mrs. Dean: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.Mr. Dean: Let’s see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.Conversation 2B Apartment huntingMr. Dean: Well, how do you like this place, then?Jenny: Oh, it’s much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are huge!Mrs. Dean: Yes, they are nice and big.Jenny: And there two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!Mrs. Dean: Yes, I guess you could.Jenny: The only problem is the color of the living room. I really don’t like those dark green walls.Mrs. Dean: Oh, I’m sure we can change the color if we want to.Listening 51.Man1: Creative Rentals. Good morning.Woman1: Hello. I’m calling about the apartment you have for rent.Man1: Yes. What can I tell you about it?Woman1: Where is it, exactly?Man1: It’s on King Street, just off the freeway.Woman1: Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffic?Man1: Yes, I’m afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living room.Woman: I see. And is it in a new building?Man1: Well, the building is about fifty years old.Woman1: Uh-huh. Well, I’ll think about it.Man1: Ok. Thanks for calling.Woman1: Thank you. Bye.2.Woman2: Hello?Man2: Hello. Is the apartment you’re advertising still available?Woman2: Yes, it is.Man2: Can you tell me a little about it?Woman2: Well, it’s a perfect apartment for one person. It’s one room with a kitchen at one end.Man2: I see. And is it far away from the subway?Woman2: There’s a subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But it’s on a high floor, so you don’t hear any street or traffic noise.Man2: It sounds like just the kind of place I’m looking for. I’d like to come see it, please.Woman2: Sure. Let me give you the address.3.Man3: Town and City Rentals. How can I help you?Woman3: Hi. Umm... is that apartment you advertised still available?Man3: Yes, it is.Woman3: Oh, good. Umm...Listen.

Man3: Great.Woman3: How big is it?Man3: It’s two rooms, plus the kitchen and bathroom.Woman3: Well, is it a safe place to live?Man3: Well, I can tell you I’ve lived here for five years and I never heard about anybody having a problem. Woman3: Oh, that’s good. Uh... let’s see. Oh, yeah. Does the apartment have a lot of windows?Man3: Windows? Yes, there are plenty of windows. But unfortunately, there isn’t much light, really. See, there’s another building right next to ours.Woman3: Oh, that’s OK. I’m never around in the day anyway. Do you think it’s all right if I come and look at it?Man3: Anytime. When do you want to see it?Conversation 7A Making wishesBrian: So where are you working now, Terry?Terry: Oh, I’m still at the bank. I don’t like it, though.Brian: That’s too bad .Why not?Terry: Well, It’s boring, and it doesn’t pay very well.Brian: I know what you mean .I don’t like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.Terry: Actually, I don’t want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.Brian: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?Terry: Uh, twenty-six.Conversation 7B Making wishesBrian: So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?Terry: Oh, you didn’t know? She and I broke up a couple of month ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.Brian: I’m sure you will.Terry: I really hope so. So what kind of job would like to look for?Brian: I’m not sure, but I’d love something that would involve travel. And I’d really like to move to another city.I’m sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.Terry: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.Listening 91.Man1: Yeah, I really need a change. I’ve been doing the same thing for over five years now, and I’m just not learning anything new. It’s the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.2.Woman1: I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bored on the weekends, and if I joined a club, I’d probably get to meet people and make new friends.3.Man2: I should take a typing course this summer. I really need it for my school work. And people say that if you can type really well, it’s something you’ll find useful later in life.4.Woman2: Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I’ve gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat.And if I don’t lose weight now, I won’t be able to get into any of my summer clothes.Unit 4 I’ve never heard of that!Conversation 2AKathy: Hey, this sounds good-snails with garlic! Have you ever eaten snails?John: No, I haven’t?Kathy: Oh, they’re delicious! I had them last time. Like to try some?John: No, thanks. They sound strange.Waitress: Have you decided on an appetizer yet?Kathy: Yes, I’ll ha ve the snails, please.Waitress: And you, sir?John: I think I’ll have the fried brains.Kathy: Fried brains? Now that really sounds strange!Conversation 2BKathy: Oh, good! Here comes the waitress now!Waitress: Here are your snails, madam. And for you, sir ... the fried brains.John: Thank you.Kathy: Mmmm, these snails are delicious! How are the brains?John: Well, I think they’re ... yuck!

Excuse me, miss!Waitress: Yes?John: Uh, I really don’t care for this appetizer. Could you bring me something else?Waitress: Yes, of course.

Thanks.2.Man2: Did you order this?Woman2: Yes, that’s mine. Mmm, it looks great and smells delicious!3.Man3: Don’t you like it?Woman3: I haven’t tasted it yet. I’m waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.4.Man1: Did you enjoy it?Woman2: Well, it was a little tough. I think it was cooked for too long.5.Woman3: How is it?Man3: Great. Just the way I like it: black and strong.6.Man3: Your turn or mine?Man1: It’s my treat this time. You paid last time. Remember?Unit 5 Going placesConversation 2 AJulia: I’m so excited! We have too weeks off! What are you going to do?Nancy: I’m not sure. I guess I’ll just stay home. Maybe I’ll catch up on my reading. What about you? Any Plans?

I’m going to take long walk s along the beach every day and do lots of swimming.Nancy: Sounds great!Julia: Say, Why don’t you come with us? We have plenty of room.Nancy: Do you mean it? I’d love to!Listening 51. JudyWoman: So, what are you planning to do for your vacation, Judy?Judy: Oh, I’m doing something really exotic this year. You know, I went to Hawaii last year, and just stayed on the beach for two weeks. This year, I’m going white-water rafting!Woman: Ooh, that sounds great. But what is it, exactly?Judy: Oh, well, you know, it’s in Colorado. They have all these trips down the rapids. The water gets really rough, but I think it’ll be really exciting.

PaulWoman: What are your plans for the summer, Paul?Paul: Oh, I’d love to go and lie on a beach somewhere, but I need to save some money for school.

Some of my friends are going to work this summer, too, so we’ll do some partying on the weekends.3. BrendaMan: Have you planned anything for the summer, Brenda?Brenda: Yeah. I’m going to work the first month and save some money. Then I’m going to go down to Mexico for six weeks to stay with my sister. She’s working in Guadalajara. She says it’s really interesting there, so I want to go and see what it’s like. It will also give me a chance to practice my Spanish. I’m really looking forward to it.Conversation 7Lucy: Hey, Mom .I want to backpack around Europe this summer. What do you think?Mom: Backpack around Europe? That’s sounds dangerous! You shouldn’t go by yourself. You ought to go with someone.Lucy: Yes, I’ve thought of that.Mom: And you’d be tter talk to your father first.Lucy: I already did. He thinks it’s a great idea. He wants to come with me!Listening 11 Tourist tipsInterviewer: What should people do to make their visit to New York City safe and pleasant?Spokesperson: I think the biggest mistake many people make is trying to do too much in a short time. There’s so much to see and do that you need to have a plan. It’s best to start planning before you get here, so you haveinformation about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing, and so on. Visitors can use our Web site to get theinformation they need to start planning before they come here; or they can phone or fax us. Interviewer: How safe is New York City for tourists?Spokesperson: New York is a much safer place than many people think. In fact, it’s the safest it’s been in thirty years! Interviewer: Oh, that’s good to hear!Spokesperson: Yes, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have to be careful; tourists in New York ought to be careful, just like in any big city in the world. For students, I would say travel in groups. If you get lost, it’s easier as agroup to find your way. You really shouldn’t go off on your own if you can find someone to go with you.Another thing to remember is: Don’t be afraid to ask for directions, even if your English isn’t perfect.People often stop me on the street to ask for directions, and that’s not only foreign visitors. Americanvisitors also have trouble finding their way around; and you’ll find New Yorkers are really very friendly. Interviewer: Yes, I agree. We are!Spokesperson: Uh-huh.Interviewer: Is there any other advice you can give visitors to the Big Apple?Spokesperson: Well, another thing to remember is not to leave anything valuable in your car if you have one. Don’t leave suitcases on the back seat where people can see them, and it’s better not to even leave them in thetruck. Most cars are very easy to get into, so it’s not worth the risk. But most people have a great timewhen they come to New York. And you will, too, if you use your common sense.Unit 6 Sure. No problem!Conversation 2A Making requestsM r. Field: Jason…J ason! Turn down the TV a little, please.Jason: Oh, but it’s my favorite program!Mr. Field: I know.

It drives me crazy.Lisa: And he can never find his glasses either.Jason: I know.Lisa: You know what drives me crazy about Mom?Jason: What?Lisa: Those awful talk shows she watches on TV. She just loves them.Jason: Yeah, I think she watches them for hours every day.Lisa: Oh, well. I guess they’re just getting old. I hope I never get like that.Jason: Me, too. Hey, let’s go and play a video game.Lisa: Great idea. By the way, have you seen my glasses anywhere?Listening 6 Excuses, excuses!1.Mom: James, please turn that down.... James!James: Yes, Mom?Mom: Turn that down. It’s much too loud.James: Sorry, Mom. I had it turned up because I wanted to hear the game.2.Dad: Molly, put the groceries away, please.

The other day, I went to a park in which there was a huge bird nest, the size of a football field. The nest is as tall as a four-story building. Itallows birds of all kinds to live with much more freedom than the traditional small birdcage. Within the nest, visitors can see different birds walk or fly freely everywhere without being afraid of people. There is a lake in the middle of the bird nest. Wild ducks and white swans swim on the lake, looking for food thrown down by visitors. Before I left the bird nest, I attended a bird show, in which some birds were trained to speak, some to play basketball and some to ride bikes. Of course they are toy balls and bikes, very small. I liked the show very much.参考答案：1-5 BBCAA 6-10 BABCA 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 CACBA。

The problem can be quite serious. In some cases,couples have to sleep in separate bedrooms. And in others, kids can never study or even watch TV once Dad hits the sack.So how can we avoid being a snoring nuisance? One way is to avoid eating a big meal before going to bed. Drinking alcohol near bedtime is something, which also causes snoring. Changing the position in which the snorer sleeps also helps. Another alternative is to wear ear plugs. But if all these ideas fail, you have only one choice： Wake the snorer up. Tell him it's his turn to watch you sleep.Lesson 50 Laser Cures SnoringA mother and son are talking.S： I can't stand Dad's snoring anymore, mom. I didn't sleep a wink last night.M： I understand. Neither did I. But what can we do?S： I read in a magazine that there's some kind of laser which can cure snoring.M： I read that, too. But it's pretty expensive. Besides, people who have tried it say it's painful and could cause voice change.S： Oh, I didn't know that. I guess there's no hope then.M： Well, I'll talk to Dad about it.S： I hope he agrees to do it. Anyway, a voice changewill do him a world of good. Have you heard him try to sniff lately?M： Come to think of it, you're right.Lesson 51 ThanksgivingThanksgiving which falls on the fourth Thursday of November, is one of the biggest American holidays. This holiday started in the early 1600's after settlers arrived in America. These people who came from Europe didn't know how to survive in the wild new country. Luckily, they met some friendly American Indians, who showed them how to hunt turkeys and grow corn. In the fall, after the harvest, the settlers had a great feast. They invited the Indians to thank them for their help.Today the tradition continues. On Thanksgiving Day, Americans invite their friends over for a turkey dinner and give thanks for what they have.Lesson 52 A Thanksgiving Get-togetherLarry, who is from Taiwan, is studying in America. His classmate, Sue, who is American, is having a Thanksgiving Day party at her house.S： Hi, Larry. Are you doing anything for Thanksgiving?L： I don't have any plans.S： Good. I'm having a get-together at my house. Would you like to come?L： Sure, I'd love to. Should I bring anything?S： No. There will be plenty of salad, ham, corn, potatoes, wine and, of course, turkey.L： That sounds great. Do you want me to come by early to give you a hand?。

In the factory, water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting* liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure. The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added. This makes some of water evaporate*, leaving very strong coffee liquor*.To make instant coffee powder, the coffee liquor is poured through large cylindrical* driers at a temperature of 250-C. The heat evaporates the liquid, leaving instant coffee powder, which is collected and put into jars.Granulated* coffee is made by freeze-drying, The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces, they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat, leaving instant coffee granules*.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1,B 2. A 3. C 4, C 5. D 6. D 7. B 8. APassage 2 Tinned T omato SoupTinned tomato soup is horrible. Why not make your own It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.You need some onions*, some tomatoes, butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Then chop*the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you don't knowwhat sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you — and cut them into quarters. Then you I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did IMy book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions, or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions — that's what makes the soup taste good,OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan — or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for three or four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said — you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into tile saucepan, and pour in some water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so. Pour yourself another glass of wine.When it's ready -= you can tell if it's ready, because everything's soft and it smells terrific —when it's ready, take it off the cooker and strain* it carefully through a sieve*. Actually, it's best if you've got one of those little machines where you turn a handle and it pushes everything through a round metal plate with little holes in — you know what I meanPut the soup back into the saucepan and see whether it needs any more salt. Then bring it to the boil again. Cook it gently for two or three minutes; keep stirring it. When you serve it, you can mix in some milk ifyou like, but I don't bother ---------------------------------------------------- I think it's nice as it is. You're supposed tomake croutons* as well — you know, little squares of toast or friedbread ------------------- but I don't bother about that either. It's too much trouble. Do tryit. You'll thank me.Exorcise A: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.2. D3. A4. C5. D6. D7. A8.

The center opened last month in Lyons*, France. It will help poor countries set up laboratories tc quickly identify and control infectious diseases.The WHO already operates an international system that watches for major health threats thatcould develop into world problems. The WHO executive director for communicable diseases is David Heymann. Doctor Heymann says the new medical center in France will help strengthen public health laboratories and services in developing countries.Doctor Heymann says there is a great need for this. In Africa, for example, he says only one laboratory can identify tile Ebola* or Marburg* viruses that cause serious diseases. It is the WHO laboratory in South Africa.Bacteria or other substances that are collected in any country inAfrica are sent to the laboratory in South Africa. Or they are sent to laboratories in Europe, North Anrerica or Asia. Doctor Heymann says Ebola is an example of a very complex disease that is hard to identify. But many countries, he says, do not even have the ability to identify more commonly known diseases, such as cholera* or yellow fever*.The World Health Organization estimates that diseases spread to other people kill more than 13,000,000 people around the world each year. Most of the victims are poor people in developing countries.To help solve this problem, the WHO hopes to train people from 45 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, The first training class begins in April in Lyons. Laboratory experts from eight countries in West Africa and Central Africa will take part. The programme will offer the medical experts and ,scientists new skills to identify diseases. They also will learn how to use communications equipment, the Internet and electronic mail. This technology will help them respond quickly to pos sible medical problems.The WHO says'the purpose of the project is to build a system that will help countries identify diseases.

Unfortunately the pair he got didn't fit him at all. They were much mo big. His brother was very keen on swimming so he got him a pair of swimming trunks. They were a size too small, however, and so were much tootight. But that was the last mistake the poor professor made, because while he was picking out a bright pink summer dress for his daughter, she happened to see him in the shop and managed to persuade him that the colour didn't go with the colour of her hair, She was quite relieved to open her Christmas present the next week and find a book on wild flowers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics,1.Wily do you think Professor Smith couldn't buy the right presents for his children2.Have things of this kind ever happened in your family。

英语听力教程unit5听力原文
Unit 5 听力原文Part IBMan: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I knowI got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then —but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. CInterviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one.Interviewer: and what is your profession?Sergio: I’m an accountant.Interviewer: Are you married?Sergio: Yes, I’m married.Interviewer: Does your wife work?Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher.Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for? Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan.Interviewer: How long did you work there?Sergio: Um, for fourteen years.Interviewer: How did you lose your job?Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed?Sergio: Um, for about 6 months.Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days?Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply.Interviewer: Any luck so far?Sergio:Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people?Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology.Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do?Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information.Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency?Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books. Interviewer: So how much time do you spend looking for a job?Sergio: Oh, about ten, fifteen hours per week. The rest of time I do housework and other things.Interviewer: Are you optimistic?Sergio: Yes. But I really don’t want to leave Milan.Interviewer: I see. Thank you.Part II Summer jobsignorance：无知，愚昧;蒙deterrent：制止的;遏制的occupational：职业的;军事占领的make fortune：致富accommodation：住处;适应;便利;和解boring：无聊的，无趣的;令人厌烦的;单调的，乏味的plus：加bowling：保铃球obviously：明显peel：剥皮;覆盖层脱落，剥落sunbathing：日光浴reasonable：有理的hire out：出租;受雇suntan：晒黑fantastic：奇异的，古怪的;极好的courier：导游;（传递信息或重要文件的）信使;通讯员Interviewer: And Christine, what about you? What have you been doing this summer? Christine: Working, mostly.Interviewer: You mean you’ve been studying?Christine: Oh no, I’ve been doing a job to earn money.Interviewer: And have you made your fortune yet?Christine: Hardly! But I haven’t done too badly. I’ve been getting about ￡70 a week, plus my meals and my accommodation, so I’ve earned over ￡ 500 andI’ve managed to save most of it.Interviewer:That sounds pretty good. What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel.Interviewer: What, as a waitress?Christine: No. I’ve been helping in the kitchen most of the time — washing and peeling vegetables, preparing breakfast trays, washing up — that sort of thing.Interviewer: And have you been enjoying it? Or has it been rather boring? Christine: No, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve found it quite interesting here, in fact. Not so much the work itself, but the people I’ve got to know and the friends I’ve made, and I’ve managed to do lots of things in my spare time too. It’s a seaside town, so there’s been quite a lot going on in the evenings — you know, dancing, bowling, cinemas, and so on — and on myafternoons off I’ve been doing quite a bit of sunbathing and swimming. Interviewer:Yes, I can see you’ve got quite brown. You’ve obviously been having some reasonable weather here. Now what about Kevin here? Kevin, you’ve managed to get a fantastic suntan. How have you been spending your time here?Have you been doing a holiday job?Kevin: Yes, I’ve been working down on the beach. I like an outdoor job. I’ve been mostly hiring out deck chairs — you know, going round collecting the money, but I’ve also been selling papers.Interviewer: And have you earned a lot of money?Kevin: Not a lot. I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s the one who’s been making money this summer.Interviewer: Has he been working here in Brighton too?Kevin:No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for a travel firm. He’s been taking Americans round Italy on coach tours and having a fantastic time. And one of them has invited him to go and work in America next summer.Interviewer: Lucky him!Part III Jobs: my idea of hell, my idea of heavenmeasure：测量，测度;措施;程度;尺寸dissatisfied with：不满melt down：熔化abattoir：屠场;（拳击、摔跤、斗牛等的）角斗场day in and day out：天天地，每天地;日复一日be capable of：能够nuclear power station：核电站mad：疯comprehend：理解casino：赌场;俱乐部，娱乐场;小别墅revolting：叛乱的;背叛的;使人厌恶的pinpoint：确定，准确地指出;精准定位AIDS clinic：艾滋病诊所self-explanatory：自明beat：打击sane：心智健全的;神志正常的;明智的;稳健work on one’s own：给自己工作responsibility：责任independent：独立chicken battery：层架式鸡笼amongst：之中night shift：夜班torture：拷问;折磨;痛苦archaeologist：考古学家anthropologist：人类学家third baseman：三垒手photographer：照相师contact：联系My Idea of Hell:1st speaker: I think my idea of hell would be, to be, to have a job where I had to do the same thing over and over again like somebody working in a factory just picking up one thing from one place and putting it into another and this just going on and on, day in and day out, if it was that kind of job I would just go mad...2nd speaker: Well, I think the thing I would least like to do given an option of anything in the world would be to be the guy who sits in a nuclear power station watching for it to start melting down, you know, the guys who sit there in front of those, that’s just you know it’s a revolting thing anyway but can you imagine the boredom and the responsibility at the same time, it would just be completely terrible, I’d hate that.3rd speaker:I think, I think the job I ... I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it is to be work as the killing person in an abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it: to work as the killing person in an abattoir.) I think that would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory whyI couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine how people actually do it. I metsomebody once who erm was one of the people that went into erm er a chicken battery and they’d spend all night they were only working night shift and just kill chickens and and I just couldn’t comprehend how they managed to do that and how they stayed sane. That would be the worst thing. I think it’d be torture in more ways than one...My Idea of Heaven:1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are paid a lot of money and you could travel to different countries —someone likea television reporter or an archaeologist or an anthropologist. I mean thoseare the exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job where I can travel and see different countries and have time to actually stay in those countries and learn a little about those countries and visit exciting places.2nd speaker:What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world would be to play for the New York Mets. You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat that... third baseman for the New Youk Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball team... best baseball team in the world.3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like to be a photographer, erm because it would give me an opportunity to work with people but at the same time be independent still and that’s the thing that I always need. I need to be independent, be able to work on my own and be amongst other people, very much like you, I think, that I have to have other contact but like to get on with wha... with my own thing.Part Ⅳ1st speaker: …er …well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at 8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand. Um…I think whatI like about it is I like meeting…meeting people, or rather dealing with people,because we’re really stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we used to have microphones and used them to speak to people, but they decided it was too impersonal so they changed it back. Um...you know, I like dealing with people like I said, it’s surprising, you know how varied the work is really. Well,a lot of it is routine, of course, but there’s still something unexpected everyday. You never know who’s going to walk in and come up to your... er ... position.Er... yeah, I do like handling money and I like the responsibility and the feeling that the customers trust you because you are dealing with their money and their livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the way people can be rude or angry about little things that aren’t my fault. It’s usually because they’ve made a mistake themselves and they aren’t prepared to admit it. I mean it’s up to them to check if they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if they write it, isn’t it really?2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting with clients, trying to find out exactly what they want or I try to persuade them that our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re very rarely givena free hand by clients. A lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent on research.You see, we have to do all the viewing and ...and the readership figures. We do our own surveys to find out what a cross-section of people think. Of course it’s not just what they think. I mean, people can say "Yes, that’s great.I...I found it really amusing and so on", but what counts is: Does it sell thegoods? Now, if we don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I enjoy most is really the creative side. Now, ideas, you know, they come to you everywhere at the most unexpected times. In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me when I was in the bath and I just jumped straight out, I got on the phone to the client. You know, I was... usually we...we have what we call brainstorming sessions in the office, so the best ideas are usually the result of teamwork. That’s what makes a good agency-a team of individuals who can work both alone and together. It takes a special sort of person. Now, the biggest drawback of the work is that you stand or fall by results. If your ideas are drying up of if you make an expensive mistake, then you get the sack. There’s always that hanging over you —it’s always worrying.Part VDavid:Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest. The best in the Southwest from music along to the minute news. Sue is here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David:And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a new job, this could be a spot for you. So let’s have a look and see what we’ve got today. How about a hairdresser? You must be experienced for this job and the pay will be agreed. So that will depend on experience. The hours are 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . So that’s hours 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . a hairdresser. How about youSue? What have you got?Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant. So it’s very useful to have experience in large scale cooking.The age is around 25 or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to 6:30. David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook. Now how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? There is no age restrictions on this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong, any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen on gardening, this could be a great job. The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5. Sunday you have to work once a month. But the bonus is on Monday. The garden centre’s closed. Now the third work you would be doing is a general assistant in a garden centre. Potting, watering, things like that. So if you’ve got green fingers, how about applying for that pay 1 pound 70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got?Sue:Right, David. From outdoors to indoors, we’ve got a short-hand typist job here.That’s in an office. And this job may suit a woman with school-age children.Because the hours are only 15 hours a week. The age is twenty to fortyish and the pay depends on the age. It’s a small friendly office, but there is experience of course. The accuracy is more important than the experience. So they go. That’s a nice short-hand typist job in an office.David: Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says: requires no experience at all but training will be given on the job. And pay is 67 pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s a full time job, but the big thing is you don’t need any experience. So if you’re just leaving school, and fancy working in the supermarket, try that. You get one day off during a week and you must work one late evening to 9:30 . OK, that’s a shop assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.。

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I c an’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers.

I also visited Africa last year.Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years.
