Uint10II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom.M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius.Q: Wh y don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man? 2.ScriptW:The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream.M:And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4. ScriptM: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.W: But do they enjoy life like you and me, or is money their only concern?Q: What are the two speakers’ attitudes toward successful entrepreneurs?5. ScriptW: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important? M: Yes, but we have to recognize that all of us are not of equal ability.Q: What does the man imply?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3. D 4.B 5.AIII. Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to comp ete from early childhood.When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. Wh en children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies.Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan:I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great.Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that norma l throughout the world? Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s competition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is mo re deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.What is the woman doing?3.What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4.What does the man say about students’ studies?5.What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competition orcooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’ Work EthicScriptFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsively. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Do you know what “Freeze!” means?ScriptThere is one word which you must learn before you visit the U.S.A. That is “Freeze!” It means, “Stand still and don’t move.” Police off icers use it when they are ready to use their guns. If the person does not obey the command and moves, they shoot.One evening in Los Angeles, someone rang the bell doorbell of a house. It was a dangerous area at night, so the owner of the house took his gun with him when he answered the door. He opened the door and saw a person, who turned round and started walking away from the house. The owner cried “Freeze!”, but the man went on walking. The owner thought he tried to escape, so he shot him dead.Later, a sad story was uncovered. The dead man was Yoshiro Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student. He went to visit a friend for a Halloween party, but he could not remember the number of the house. When he realized that he had gone to the wrong house, he turned round to leave. He did not know much English and so did not understand the command “Freeze!”.The tragedy arose from cultural misunderstanding. Those who have lived in the United States for a long time understand the possibility of being shot when one trespasses upon an individual’s property. It is a well-known fact in America that a person’s home is his castle. Although Rodney Pears, the owner of the house, gave a verbal warning “Freeze!” to Hattori, Hattori did not know it meant “Stand still and don’t move”, and therefore did not obey it. This misunderstanding became the trigger of Hattori’s disaster. The concept of owning guns is hard for Japanese people to understand, but in America you are permitted to own a gun under the U.S. Constitution.1.Wh at does the word “Freeze!” mean in the passage?2.What did the owner of the house take with him when he answered the door?3. Why did the Japanese student turn around and leave?4.What is mentioned as a possible result of trespassing?5.Wh y is the phrase “a person’s home is his castle” quoted in the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1Americans glorify individualism.Susan: John, I was looking for you. Where have you been hiding all morning? John: Well, I caught Professo r Brown’s lecture on American individualism. Susan:Oh, how did you find it?John:Enlightening. Americans glorify individualism. They believe individual interests rank above everything else.Susan:Sounds intersting. It’s a sharp contrast to the orien tal collectivism Professor Wang talked about last semester.John:But you should know that the individualism in the United States is not necesssarily an equivalent for selfishness.Susan: Then what does it mean in the States?John: They believe all values, rights, and duties originate in individuals, so they emphasize individual initiative and independence.Susan:There could be something in that. Of course in oriental countries the interests of the group are more important than anything else.John: I So, it’s all the more necessary for foreigners to understand American culture, or they can’t hope to understand the importance of privacy in the West.. Susan:Maybe that’s the reason nuclear families outnumber extended families in the United States.John: Right on! You’re catching on fast!Susan: Now let me ask you a question.John: Shoot. Go ahead.Susan: Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people? John: I don’t know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn’t say.Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it’s deeply rooted. John: Wow, that’s an intelligent guess!MODEL2What do you think are the reasons forthat difference?ScriptSusan: Do you find that people in America often walk faster than people in China?Americans always seem to be in a hurry.John: It’s hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, Ithink you’re right.Susan:What do you think are the reasons for that difference?John:Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even“kill time”!Susan:Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?John:Sure. If you’re 20 minutes late for a bussiness appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore.Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late fora dinner party.John: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time. Susan:But if his secretary is late, s he’s in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.John: How true!Susan:The American workship of time probably led them to create fast foods. John: I agree. And globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find KentuckyFried Chicken.Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”John: But with more intercultural communication, I think the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.MODEL3That’s the secret of their success.ScriptChris: Hey Sue, how’s the math class going? Are you head of the class?Susan:Are you kidding? There’s a bunch of foreign students in the class---from China somewhere---and they are on top.Chris: Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math? It’s been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.Susan:In class they don’t say much, but they definitely get the best marks. Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. They never skip class, and they pay attention.Susan:One Chinese student in my class did homework each night until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer.Chris:That’s the secret of their success: hard work and deligence.Susan:It’s so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that’s no fun.I think learning should be more fun.Chris:Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don’t have the knowledge, then you won’t understand the significance of themoves, and you’ll be bored.Susan:So what you’re saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I am not against knowledge; I just want to learn it in an interesting way.What’s more, “All work and noplay makes Jack a dull boy.”Now Your TurnTask 1:SAMPLE DIALOGMaggie: Josh, you were late for work this morning.Josh: I was only about ten minutes late. Anyway, the boss didn’t say anyt hing about it.Maggie:As a friend, I must give you a warning. You should understand that Americans treasure time.Josh: What do you mean?Maggie: You see, for them time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Josh: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?Maggie: If you’re 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore. Today you were ten minuteslate for work. That was bad enough.Josh: I was caught in a traffic jam. What could I have done?Maggie: You should have called the secretary to say you might be late. I learned the importance of punctuality when I studied at an American university. Josh: Tell me about it.Maggie: Some students were late handing in assignments and the professors gave them poor marks. One professor even refused to read a term paper that wasturned in after the deadline.Josh: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late fora dinner party.Maggie:That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time. Josh: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. Sh e will probably be reprimanded.Maggie: How true!V. Let’s TalkScriptCulture shock happens to most people who travel abroad. Psychologists tell us that there are five distinct phases of culture shock.During the first few days of a person’s stay in a ne w country, everything usually goes fairly smoothly. The newcomer is excited about being in a new place where there are new sights and sounds, new smells and tastes. They may find themselves staying in hotels or with a home-stay family that is excited to meet the foreign stranger. This first stage of culture shock is called the “honeymoon phase”.Unfortunately, this phase often comes to an end fairly soon. The newcomer may encounter many problems in transportation, shopping, or interpersonal communication. You may feel that people no longer care about your problems. You might even start to think that the people in the host country don’t like foreigners. This may lead to the second stage of culture shock, known as the “rejection phase”. The newcomer may start to complain about and reject the host culture.If you don’t survive stage two successfully, you may find yourself moving into stage three: the “regression phase”. The word “regression” means moving backward, and in this phase of culture shock, you spend much of your time speaking your own language, watching videos from your home country, and eating food form home. Also, you may remember only the good things about your home country.If you survive the third stage successfully, you will move into the fourth stage of culture shock called the “recovery phase”. In this stage you become more comfortable with the customs of the host country. You start to realize that no country is that much better than another---they are just different.Much later, when you return to your homeland, you may find yourself entering the fifth phase of culture shock---the “reverse culture shock”. After you have become comfortable with the habits and customs of a new lifestyle, you may find that you are no longer completely comfortable in your home country. It may take a little while to become at ease with your home culture.If you overcome the problems in all five phases, you will be much stronger, and youVI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: PunctualityScriptT o Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships mor e than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do they do?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for an appointmentis fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships and schedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let anopportunity pass by?5. What was Benjamin Franklin’s view of time?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our Personal SpacesScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what is usual north of the border. And for middle easterner, typical Arab conversations are at close range. Closeness cannot be avoided.As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is sacred.

As time wore on, the men gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottleout of the open window.“What did you do that for?” asked the startled American businessman.“V odka is plentiful in my country,” said the Russian, “In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it---far more than we need.”The American businessman shook his head and leaned back in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian’s reasoning.A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasures of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window.“I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year,” the American businessman said. “Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.”“Cigars,” the Cuban replied, “are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we know what to do with.”The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grbbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.News ReportRussian Popcorn FestivalScriptAmerican popcorn has made its way into the heart of Russian culture. Organizers and participants came together on Sunday at a Moscow festival marking the tenth anniversary of the introduction of popcorn to Russia.It was exactly ten years ago, on December 16, 1991, that popcorn, considered an American delicacy here, first made its appearance in this land famous for its artists.To celebrate the occasion, ten “artists” decided to recreate a famous Russian painting in, you guessed it, popcorn. It took the ten artists a total of six hours of painstaking work to complete the popcorn painting. The result of this long ordeal was a 120 square meter popcorn mosaic.The Russian Records Agency, the local equivalent of the Guinness Book of World Records, was at the Manezh exhibition complex to witness the event. A ceremony was held in front of onlookers to officially register the record.[SOUND BITE]The ceremony was immediately followed by a popcorn lovers’feast, with festival-goers consuming large amounts of the much-loved snack. Both the young and the old eagerly took part in the festive celebrations. Some participants voiced their support for the unusual event. [SOUND BITE]There were also those who talked about feeling a sense of camaraderie among their fellow popcorn enthusiasts.[SOUND BITE]The celebrations continued for hours and even included some live performances.Clean up for the event was no problem---there were many eager onlookers on hand to cleanup---and eat---the delicious mess.11。

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Keys: (1)families (2)chemicals (3)information (4) certain symptoms(5)self-esteem (6)thinking patterns (7)mood (8)divorce (9)physical abuse (10)financial difficulties (11)stress (12)anxietyTask 3 happiness indexAustralians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducteddoor-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was theUSA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.翻译：根据一项由两家市场研究人员进行的调查显示，澳大利亚人是世界上最幸福的人。

新视野大学英语(第二版)听说教程第四册录音文本及答案Unit1Short conversation1 W: You don't really seem interested in painting pictures, so why did you apply to this art program?M: To be honest, I thought that through art, I could become famous. Pretty stupid, huh?Q: What can be inferred from this conversation?2. W: You have everything you ever wanted! But why do you look so blue?M: Ah, man, I discovered that all those things - money, fame, and the lot - are all empty. Andin trying to get them, I ignored my art.Q: Why is the man not happy?3. W: Hey, Marty. What's the matter, pal? When you first started writing, you did so much better work. Are you bored or something?M: I know my work is suffering, but I don't know the reason. I don't seem so interested anymore. Maybe, as you said, I am bored. Who knows?Q: What are the speakers talking about?4. W: Is it true what they say about the director? Does he really work for art. not for fame?M: That's what people say. and I'm inclined to believe them. He certainly hasn't sold out to the cheap film companies.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?5. W: What's on the schedule for tonight's show? Something I'm likely to enjoy?M: You might like it — a story about a dancer who sells his soul to become famous and then loses his friends, family, and everything important.Q: What is tonight's show about?6. W: Isn't that the man who won an Academy Award for his cartoon artwork?M: What? That tramp? Hey, you know. I think you're right. Man. what happened to him? He was really famous!Q: What happened to the artist at last?7. W: Look! Look! Look! Look at me. Dad! I've done it! Success, money, popularity... The world is at the tip of my fingers and I feel like a queen!M: Sweetheart. I think you need to cool down a bit. Don't let all of this success go to your head.Q: What has happened to the woman?8. W: Get a grip on yourself! Don't you dare quit your job! You really think you can succeed as an actor? Do you really think you can become famous?M: I don't think I need to be famous to succeed. I'm sure I can get work as an extra and then maybe move on to more interesting roles.Q: What are the speakers talking about?9.M: Hey. you! Watch out! Where's your head? Walking in front of cars like that?W: Huh? Ah! Oh! Sorry. I mean... thanks. I just received word from my agent that my book is to be published. Isn't it wonderful? Sorry I was daydreaming about the fame to come and forgot to look at the traffic.Q: Where is the conversation taking place?10. W: Thanks for coming in. I loved your work, but I wish it looked more like your previous pieces. M: God! I knew it! Complaints from my teacher, my mother... even my doctor! And now. my boss? Since I became famous, no one will let me change!Q: What is the relationship between the speakers?Long conversationsM: There's only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about.W: That was said by Oscar Wilde, wasn't it?M: That's right. You're pretty smart.W: I have my moments. But I'm afraid that I won't remember anything else for your test tomorrow.M: Well, let's have a run-through. First, what can you remember about Wilde?W: The basics, obviously — British, 19th century writer.... He was gay. wasn't he?M: That's right. And he actually went to jail for it.W: Why? There must've been many gays in England at the time. Why was he singled out to be put in prison? Or, were the English throwing all gays in jail?M: No, not everyone. But things were different for Wilde. A famous person, like him, isn't freeto do what he likes. People paid more attention to his actions. There were reporters, and everything that he said and did was watched carefully.W: Yeah? It might've been better for him if he wasn't famous.M: Maybe. But, then again, if he wasn't well-known, we might not have his wonderful stories today.1. What are the speakers talking about?2. What did Oscar Wilde say?3. What is the probable relationship between the speakers?4. Why was Oscar Wilde treated differently?5. What can be inferred from the conversation?PassageYou young people go crazy over famous people. Will you listen to me when I tell you your generation is wrong about this? Let me use an example to illustrate my point to you.Marilyn Monroe, you might not even know who she is. Back in my day. When I was your age. she was a big movie star. But she wasn't born a movie star, no sir. She was a simple girl with beauty and innocence until she went to Hollywood to make movies. That's right. Instead of living out a simple life of integrity and hard work or trying to develop a respectable name in her profession, she sought fame. Well. I'll tell you. she got her wish. She made her movies — AH About Eve in 1950, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in 1953, Some Like It Hot in 1959. and more. She got into trouble throughout — drugs, abuse.... All of this came crashing down on her head, and she died at an early age in 1962. Sad, really.I hope that this example shows you the dangers of fame. Believe me, it's best just to live a simple life.1. What is the speaker talking about?2. What is TRUE according to what you hear?3. Why did Monroe go to Hollywood?4. When was Some Like It Hot made?5. Why is the speaker telling this story?Task1 第12页W: How important are friends to you, Bill?M: That's kind of a strange question for this setting, don't you think so?W: Well, the teacher hasn't come in yet, class hasn't begun, and I was just wondering about it. So. what do you think about friends?M: I've never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that's because I come from a big family —two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. That’s what's really important to me. What about you.Emma?W: My situation, you know, is different, so I have different ideas. To me friendship... having friends... people I know I can really count on... to me that's the most important thing in life. It's more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings and bitterness. But a good friend is a friend for life.M: In my mind, a friend is someone who likes the same things as you do, with whom you can argue without losing your temper, even if you don't always agree with him.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What are the speakers talking about?2. What has the man always thought?3. What can be inferred from the conversation?4. What does the man think about friends?5. Where is the conversation taking place?Task2 第13页At the age of 41, Clark Gable, one of Hollywood's biggest actors, enlisted in the army, serving in World War II. Gable's postwar films were, for the most part, disappointing, as was his 1949 marriage. Dropped by both his wife and his studio, Gable ventured out as a freelance actor in 1955, quickly becoming the highest paid actor in Hollywood. He again found happiness with his fifth wife and continued his career in such critical failures as Teacher's Pet, released in1958. In 1960, Gable was signed for the "modern" Western, The Misfits. The troubled and tragic history of this film has been well documented, but, despite the on-set tension, Gable took on the task uncomplainingly, going so far as to perform several grueling stunt scenes involving wild horses. The strain of filming, however, coupled with his ever-robust lifestyle, proved too much for the actor. Clark Gable suffered a heart attack two days after the completion of The Misfits and died in 1960 at the age of 59, just a few months before the birth of his first son. Most of the nation's newspapers announced the death of Clark Gable with a four-word headline: "The King is Dead." Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What is this passage about?2. When did Gable become a freelance actor?3. What can we know about Gable from the passage?4. What is described as being "tragic" in the passage?5. What can be inferred from the passage?Unit2Short conversations1.W: I don't quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Serious? Look at his work and compare it to other films of the time. He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?2.W: My drama teacher said Chaplin is an excellent model for a young actor to pattern himself on.M: Td be hard-pressed to argue with that. The guy was innovative and possessed such a creative mind. Yeah, try to be like him.Q: What are the speakers talking about?3.W: I've given some thought to entering politics when I get older - you know, maybe working behind the scenes to help someone get a position in government.M: Why not run for office yourself? Are you afraid of standing out as a female politician?Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?4.W: I admire her, not because she's a woman in the tough, male world of international politics, but because she's so honest.M: Yeah, I feel the same way. Certainly, there aren't many people as true to their word as she is.Q: What does the man think about the politician?5.W: You know, our family is really special. Many of our ancestors are remembered as great inventors and scientists who contributed new ideas to society.M: Yes, that's what I've also heard from Uncle Marty. He said our family tree was full of geniuses.Q: What are the speakers talking about?6.W: Did you see what I made? It's a light bulb that'll never burn out.M: That's amazing! A thing like that could make you famous. You should contact a patent office as soon as possible and register a claim!Q: What will make the woman famous?7.W: No matter what a person says about me, no one can say that I'm not original.M: For sure, that's one criticism that no one will hit you with. Your artwork is definitely unique. And I think that's really important.Q: According to the man, what should be valued above all else?8.W: What do you think? Is it dangerous to be unlike other people sometimes?M: Nah. I think it's more dangerous to be similar to others -- that's when you run the risk of becoming insignificant and forgotten.Q: According to the man, what is dangerous?9.M: I suppose I could've been successful by being like other people, but I felt that I should express my own original ideas. And I think this is a lesson you should learn.W: Ma says the same thing about her success. I guess thinking the same about that is what first brought you two together?Q: What is the relationship between the speakers?10.W: I'm not saying that your work is poor, just that it lacks imagination. You haven't done anything to set yourself apart from your classmates.M: If my assignments look so much like others, why do you give me lower grades than you give them? Q: What is the relationship between the speakers?Long conversationsM: Look at you, all dressed up in a bowler hat, looking all dapper like Charlie Chaplin. It's not Halloween, though. Are you going to leave the house looking like that?W: Would you believe that I'm going to a party?M: If there was a party tonight, I would've heard about it by now. So what's the deal?W: I'm auditioning for a film. I thought, well, this look worked well for Chaplin.M: So you thought it'd work for you. I don't think much of that idea.W: Why not? Chaplin got a lot of success because of his Little Tramp costume. And I've copied it exactly. M: Chaplin did very well - but that's because the look was original. He didn't copy anyone in Hollywood. W: But look, I'm a woman, a woman dressed like Chaplin. That's original, isn't it?M: I'm afraid not. I'm pretty sure that I've seen other women do the same thing. If you really want to succeed like Chaplin did, you should do what he did. Try to invent and develop something people haven't seen before.W: I guess you're right. I'll go back up to my room and change.1. What are the speakers talking about?2. Why is the woman dressed like Chaplin?3. What can be inferred from the conversation?4. Besides "be original", what advice does the man have for the woman?5. Where is the conversation taking place?PassageSome people stand out as truly special and one of a kind. Charlie Chaplin, a superstar of silent comedies and one of the great icons of the 20th-century film, is one of those unique people. Chaplin had a rotten childhood and an early start on stage, performing even as a child in vaudeville. He went to Hollywood in 1914 and began acting in silent comedies. By 1915, he controlled most aspects of his films, in which he usually appeared as a character called simply the "Little Tramp": a lovably shabby dreamer with a bushy moustache, bowler hat and cane. Chaplin was one of the founders of United Artists Studios and was one of the first movie makers to have complete control over his features. His best-known films include 1925's The Gold Rush, 1931's City Lights, and 1936's Modern Times. Famously outspoken and sympathetic to communism, Chaplin left the United States in 1952 because of increased political pressure. He settled in Switzerland, where he and his wife Oona raised eight children, including actress Geraldine Chaplin. In 1972 he returned to the United States to accept a special Oscar, and in 1975, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.1. What is this passage about?2. What did Chaplin do when he went to Hollywood?3. What did the "Little Tramp" look like?4. What can be inferred from the passage?5. When did the Queen make Chaplin a knight?Home workTask1 第29页W: My friends have compared my film to the best of Orson Welles' works. How can you criticize it?M: You... Welles? I, well, um, I appreciate your confidence in yourself. But you do know who Welles was, right?W: Nah. I don't watch films by British directors.M: You really don't know who Welles was at all! Welles was American! Do you even pay attention to my lectures?W: I don't listen to people talk about films; I make films. I'm a doer.M: You really have to pay attention from now on. Welles first became famous on the radio, especially for his reading of War of the Worlds in 1938. Three years later, he made his first movie, Citizen Kane, in 1941. Other films of his include The Magnificent Ambersons in 1942 and The Lady From Shanghai in 1948. People consider Kane to be his best film.W: That must be the one that looks like my film.M: People consider it not only his best film, but the best film in movie history. Do you really think your film is that good?W: My mom seems to think so.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What are the speakers talking about?2. What can be inferred from the conversation?3. Why doesn't the woman listen to the man more?4. When was Citizen Kane made?5. What is the relationship between the speakers?Task2 第30页When Elvis Presley died on August 16,1977, radio and television programs all over the world were interrupted to give the news of his death. President Carter was asked to declare a day of national mourning. Eighty thousand people attended his funeral. In the summer of 1953 Elvis paid four dollars and recorded two songs for his mother's birthday at Sam Phillips' Sun Records Studio. Sam Phillips heard Elvis and asked him to record "That's All Right" in July, 1954. Twenty thousand copies were sold, mainly in and around Memphis. On January 10,1956, Elvis recorded "Heartbreak Hotel", and a million copies were sold. In the next fourteen months he made another fourteen records, and they were all big hits.In 1956 he also made his first film in Hollywood. In 1972 his wife left him, and they were divorced in October, 1973. Elvis died from a heart attack in 1977. He had been abusing his body for several years by eating and drinking too much and taking a cocktail of medicines and possibly drugs. He left all his money to his only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

W: Hi Honey. I'm sorry, I've some really bad news to tell you. I'm afraid. Management have made cuts, and I've lost my job.M: Oh, oh dear! That's terrible. But - you didn't like that job very much anyway. Maybe this is a good chance to find something new. Don't get down; think positive!Q: What does the man think?5.W: I was sure your patient would be devastated when he was told that he would die within a month. I'm really surprised.M: Maybe it hasn't hit him yet. When he has time to think about it, he'll probably break down. But for now, yeah, he seems to have taken it very well - he's very brave.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?6.W: Hey, I just noticed something. The player, that one right there in the middle of the field, he's missinga hand.M: It took you long enough to notice. Yeah, he's one of the top players in the league. And look, he isn't the only one.

This is just normal life to me.Q: Why doesn't the man feel bad?9.M: Give it to me straight, doctor. What am I going to have to tell my mom and dad about my condition?

I can't imagine what it must be like for him.Q: How blind is George?Long conversationM: There's a check in your mailbox from the government. It almost looks like a benefit check.W: That's because it is a benefit check. I've been getting benefits from the government for the last 20 or so years on account of my condition.M: Condition? I didn't know anything was wrong with you.W: You're kidding, right? We've been friends for 30 years, and you didn't know my condition?M: Is it that you haven't had a job for the last 25 years?W: I haven't had a job in 40 years, my whole life - because I'm blind!M: You're blind?

What can be inferred from the conversation?PassageWhat to do about the poor and needy is a concern of every government. The U.S. is not exempt from this concern, but care for its poor has changed over time. Until the Great Depression of the 1930s, state and local governments in America bore some responsibility for providing assistance to the poor. However, such assistance was minimal at best.The New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt included new federal initiatives to help those in poverty. With millions of people unemployed during the 1930s economic depression, welfare assistance was beyond the financial resources of the states.Therefore, the federal government provided funds for maintaining a minimum standard of living, either directly to recipients or to the states.Between 1935 and 1996, federal programs were established that provided additional welfare benefits, including medical care, public housing, and food stamps. By the 1960s, however, criticism began to grow that these programs discouraged people from finding employment. Even defenders of public welfare benefits acknowledged that the system was imperfect: noting the financial disincentives associated with taking a low-paying job and losing the array of benefits, especially medical care.1.

What is the probable relationship between the speakers?Task2If you're trying to reach a compromise, a good first step is to define your goal and encourage the other person to do the same. Then share any information that might help you to reach a compromise.A good second step is to listen carefully to the other person's point of view. Don't interrupt. Don't agree or disagree. This will not only ensure that you understand her point of view, but will also demonstrate that you're willing to listen to what she has to say.Next, put aside any preconceived notions you have about the "right" way to accomplish your goals. Then force yourself to think of at least one other way to accomplish them that incorporates both your ideas. Don't think vertically, in other words, one-up-one-down, or I’m-right-you're-wrong. Think laterally, instead - place her idea and yours on a straight line, side by side, and add more ideas as she and you come up with them. You'll end up with TWO good ideas in the pot - yours and your co-worker's. And when two reasonable people are willing to compromise, they're likely to come up with a third way of accomplishing goals - one that satisfies both.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What is this passage about?2. What can we infer from the passage?3. What should be put aside?4. What does vertical thinking involve?5. What will be achieved in the end?。

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.―I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,‖said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, ―I don‘t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.‖(S10)V oice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men‘s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women‘s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons.Men‘s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women‘s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women‘s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery.By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women‘s use of botox rose 60 percent while men‘s fell 14 percent; women‘s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men‘s fell 19 percent; women‘s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men‘s fell 54 percent.1.What is true of men and women‘s use of fat injections?2.While of the following is true of nose jobs?3.How much greater is the percentage of women choosing cosmetic surgery to lookyounger than the percentage of men?4.What is true of men and women using botox in the previous year?5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1C 2.C3.

But she already has a nice nose.Amy: But not a fashionable one. She‘s also having her teeth straighten. She wants to have a perfect smile.Bill: What for?Amy: She believes a better physical appearance will improve her chance of getting a good job.Bill: We won‘t even recognize her when she gets back.MODEL2 I think I need a face-lift.ScriptSusan: Hey!Amy: Hi! Don‘t you know anyone who‘s had cosmetic surgery?Susan:You mean like a liposuction? I don‘t think that‘s necessary. That‘s not the way a woman should stay attractive.Amy: Honestly, I won‘t go as far as that. With surgery, I might look gorgeous, but it wouldn‘t be the real me.Susan: Yeah, people should be happy with the way they are.Amy: I see your point. But I‘m worried about the wrinkle around my eyes. I think I need a face-lift. Why can‘t we go back to the way things were?Susan: Because…I don‘t know! But, Amy, you wouldn‘t do that, would you?Amy:Darned right I would! I don‘t expect my skin to be baby-smooth, but I should at least be young-looking.Susan: Isn‘t makeup enough?Amy: Come on, Susan. Be open-minded! Look at my eyes! They‘re puffy. And my lower lids are dark and loose, and full of lines and circles. I really hope surgery can wipe out the tired look.Susan: But what would other people think?Amy: I don‘t care other people think. I‘m already for a lift.MODEL3 How did you find the plastic surgery there?ScriptSusan: How was your trip to Korea? How did you find the plastic surgery there?

Susan: How can you say that! You don‘t need to change your looks to get a good job.Anyway, shall we get some lunch?Nora: I‘m not hungry, really I‘m not.Susan: Did you already have lunch?Nora:I‘m skipping lunch. I want to stay in good shape. I think I‘m getting a bit too fat already.Susan:Oh, Nora, don‘t be so silly! You‘re not fat at all, and you need to eat. If you don‘t eat, you‘ll get sick and wind up in hospital.Nora: Ok, maybe I could eat a little. I do want to stay healthy.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSally: Hi, John, nice to see you here.John: Hi, sorry, your name escapes me momentarilySally: Oh, I‘m Sally.

I felt uncomfortable about my uneven teeth whenever I smiled. Now I think I have a better smile.John: Why do you have so much surgery?Sally: I believe a better physical appearance will help me land a better job.John:Nonsense.

You‘ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year.If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they‘re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes.

Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.VI.

Since the company was composed entirely of men over65, there was doubt that they would be of assistance.

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2)running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3) drop everything and run for the hills! He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5)uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he’s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall. He’s muscular and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, “I want a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don’t have time!”the big man yells, (S10) “I got to get out of town! Didn’t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in orderto repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals’ goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2.According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3.Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5.Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1D 2.C3.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention. Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experienceVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason”and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world.

Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?” When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour. The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride. Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives. The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride. The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.。

If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, ―What made me angry?‖When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, ―Why did that made me angry?‖ Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world‘s first 4D roller coaster, ―X‖, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, ―X‖ riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren‘t always facing the right direction to see what‘s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For ―X‖ riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. You‘ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year.If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they‘re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy ―outfits‖. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories.If you can‘t afford expensive clothes, you can spend money on accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags. Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.。

I‘m fat. I want to be slim and beauty, but I‘m fat. I‘ve tried all the new ideas, high carb and low carb, but nothing works.M: Those diets are just fads, popular for a while and then forgotten. Just follow the usual diet with fruits, vegetables, fish, water, and get plenty of exercise. Before long you‘ll see results.Q: What has the woman tried?4. ScriptW1: I think Lily is really attractive. She‘s half Spanish and has this really sultry look about her.W2: That explains why she tans so well. I‘ve always been jealous of her skin color in the summer.Q: Which of following is true of Lily?5.

Listening InTask 1: A Friendly StylistStylist: Morning, sir. This chair, please. What can I do for you?Nick: A simple haircut: short on the back and sides.Stylist: Very good. I can, of course, do something fashionable for only $60.Nick: 60 dollars! That‘s highway robbery—twice what I ordinarily pay.Stylist: Perhaps, sir. But your haircuts haven‘t been in harmony with your character.Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick: I‘ve never heard of such a thing.Stylist: If I may say, I‘m an expert at matching hairstyle to personalities. Believe me;you‘re suffering a ―disjunction‖.Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?Stylist: Your hair does not match you.Nick: This is utter nonsense. However, I‘d like to hear how you‘d solve this so-called problem.Stylist: Your character is artistic, imaginative. But your hair is dull. I can correct that imbalance in seconds.Nick: Okay, let me see what can you do about the…uh…disjunction, as you call it. Stylist: We‘re going to use scissors to create peaks, which we‘ll keep in place with a liberal helping of gel….This tuft in the back we‘ll braid into a pigtail. Now, it‘s the new you!Nick: I love it. It‘s just like me: imaginative and artistic. Now what are you doing?What‘s wrong? Don‘t you see harmony in my new hairstyle?Stylist:Something‘s preventing your hairstyle from being a true fashionable statement.Nick: For heaven‘s sake, tell me what‘s missing.Stylist: Streaks. By putting in a few yellow streaks in your hair, it will become a work of art. Streaking will cost you more, but…Nick: Do it. Forget the cost. But, by the way, what is the total getting to be? How much am I paying to avoid disjunction? Stylist: That‘s…$135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.1.When the stylist mentions $60, what does the customer say?2.What does the stylist think about the customer‘s hairstyle?3.What will the stylist do with the customer‘s hair?4.What will streaking do to the man‘s hair according to the stylist?5.What is the passage mainly about?Keys: 1C.A 3.D4.B 5.AFor Reference:1.It means there is no match between you and your hair.2.That‘s…$135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.Task 2: The Voice LiftScriptAfter the face-lift, the forehead tightened, and the (S1) nose job, something still might be revealing your age: your (S2) voice. For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don‘t (S3) match their newly face and figure, there‘s a procedure that claims to make them (S4) sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.―I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,‖said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, ―I don‘t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.‖(S10)V oice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men‘s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women‘s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons. Men‘s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women‘s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women‘s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery.By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons. The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women‘s use of botox rose 60 percent while men‘s fell 14 percent; women‘s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men‘s fell 19 percent; women‘s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men‘s fell 54 percent.1.What is true of men and women‘s use of fat injections?2.While of the following is true of nose jobs?3.How much greater is the percentage of women choosing cosmetic surgery to lookyounger than the percentage of men?4.What is true of men and women using botox in the previous year?5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1C 2.C3. B 4.B 5.DIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 She’s having some cosmetic surgery.Amy: Did you hear Nora‘s off to Korea?Bill: why is she going to Korea?Amy:She is having some cosmetic surgery.Bill:I‘m floored! I thought she was beautiful already.Amy: I know what you mean. She‘s having her nose fixed.Bill: Was it broken?Amy: No, stupid, she‘s having it made smaller.Bill: If she wasn‘t beautiful already,I could understand getting surgery. But she already has a nice nose.Amy: But not a fashionable one. She‘s also having her teeth straighten. She wants to have a perfect smile.Bill: What for?Amy: She believes a better physical appearance will improve her chance of getting a good job.Bill: We won‘t even recognize her when she gets back.MODEL2 I think I need a face-lift.ScriptSusan: Hey!Amy: Hi! Don‘t you know anyone who‘s had cosmetic surgery?Susan:You mean like a liposuction? I don‘t think that‘s necessary. That‘s not the way a woman should stay attractive. Amy: Honestly, I won‘t go as far as that. With surgery, I might look gorgeous, but it wouldn‘t be the real me.Susan: Yeah, people should be happy with the way they are.Amy: I see your point. But I‘m worried about the wrinkle around my eyes. I think I need a face-lift. Why can‘t we go back to the way things were?Susan: Because…I don‘t know! But, Amy, you wouldn‘t do that, would you?Amy:Darned right I would! I don‘t expect my skin to be baby-smooth, but I should at least be young-looking.Susan: Isn‘t makeup enough?Amy: Come on, Susan. Be open-minded! Look at my eyes! They‘re puffy. And my lower lids are dark and loose, and full of lines and circles. I really hope surgery can wipe out the tired look.Susan: But what would other people think?Amy: I don‘t care other people think. I‘m already for a lift.MODEL3 How did you find the plastic surgery there?ScriptSusan: How was your trip to Korea? How did you find the plastic surgery there? Nora:It was all pretty scary at first. Susan: As I see it, they certainly did a beautiful job for you. If I hadn‘t recognized your clothes, I wouldn‘t have known it was you!Nora: Tanks, but underneath this surgery, it‘s still the same old me.Susan: Well, why did you want the surgery after all?Nora:If I want to be competitive in the job market, I think this is indispensable. Susan: How can you say that! You don‘t need to change your looks to get a good job.Anyway, shall we get some lunch?Nora: I‘m not hungry, really I‘m not.Susan: Did you already have lunch?Nora:I‘m skipping lunch. I want to stay in good shape. I think I‘m getting a bit too fat already.Susan:Oh, Nora, don‘t be so silly! You‘re not fat at all, and you need to eat. If you don‘t eat, you‘ll get sick and wind up in hospital.Nora: Ok, maybe I could eat a little. I do want to stay healthy.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSally: Hi, John, nice to see you here.John: Hi, sorry, your name escapes me momentarilySally: Oh, I‘m Sally. Don‘t you recognize me?John: Now I see, you‘re Sally! You have changed beyond recognition!Sally: I had cosmetic surgery.John: I‘m confuses! I thought you were good-looking before.Sally: My nose was rather flat. The bridge of my nose wasn‘t high enough. So I got my nose fixed.John: That‘s absolutely unnecessary. I can also see your eyes have changed a lot. Sally: Yeah, my single-folded eyelids have become double-folded.John: What else did you do?Sally: I also have my teeth straightened. I felt uncomfortable about my uneven teeth whenever I smiled. Now I think I have a better smile.John: Why do you have so much surgery?Sally: I believe a better physical appearance will help me land a better job.John:Nonsense. Most employers are more interested in your practical ability than your looks.V. Let’s TalkScriptGreetings, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you‘ll find it interesting how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. You‘ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year.If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they‘re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy ―outfits‖. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Beauty Contests and Plastic SurgeriesScriptJuliana Borges, who was named ―Miss Brazil‖ early on Tuesday, had plastic surgery four times and underwent 19 smaller operations. She was just one of many competitors who were determined to improve their appearance through surgery.―Plastic surgery make me more beautiful and gave me confidence in myself and the perfect measurement that won me this title,‖ said the beauty queen in a green dress, who was representing Brazil‘s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul. Borges, 22, had liposuction and had her chin, nose, and ears worked on, as well as, had her breasts enlarged.With the development of plastic surgery, more and more of Brazil‘s would-be beauty queen are finding it easier to achieve the ideal measurements. These days, young hopefuls from the Amazon jungle to big cities in Brazil‘s south are planning surgery.A third of the 27 finalists at the beauty contest went under the scalpel after rules were changed in the 1990s.The new rules permit plastic surgery, colored contact lenses, and hair dye at beauty contests.The organizers of the Miss Brazil contest said, ―It‘s a war out there, and all of the beauty tools that can be used should be used. Other countries like Venezuela paved the way, and Brazil is going to have to use those tools as well if it wants to compete in Miss University beauty contests.‖But Brazil‘s love for plastic surgery is not limited to beauty contests. Most young women who undergo surgery want to find a better man or a higher-paying job.1.How many surgical operations did the former Miss Brazil have altogether?2.What change has plastic surgery brought, according to the passage?3.Which of the following is allowed after the rules changed in the1990s??4. Which of the following countries is mentioned as a pioneer in using beauty tools?5. What is the goal of most young Brazilian women who undergo surgery?Keys: 1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.ATask 2: Is it true beauty?ScriptJohn:There goes Camilla. She looks gorgeous today, doesn‘t she? Her skin is as smooth as a baby‘s bottom. Her lips are a perfect Cupid‘s bow. She must have dozens of admirers.Becky: I wonder what she looks like without all makeup. She must out it with a spoon.It‘s like a mask. I don‘t understand what men find so attractive about her. John: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?Becky: She has nothing for me to be jealous about.John: I‘ll be you believe in those saying like: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Becky: True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring it out.John: But do you always stick to those rules? When I went past your apartment last night, I saw you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all your face.Becky: They were cucumbers. They‘re natural healers of the skin. Haven‘t you heard people say on TV that they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, and buildstrength and resilience?John: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah! See, I can even recite that advertisement. Becky: You‘ve learned a lot, haven‘t you?John: Since you can keep your skin so young-looking and maintain your figure so well, you might as well as write a book on beauty secrets.Becky: Don‘t pull my leg. Anyway, you‘d do well to try the cucumber treatment on yourself. Put some cucumber slice on your head. At least they‘ll kee p thatbald spot from shining so brightly..Keys: FTFTFTask3: Smart packing1.
