I own buildings all over the place, model agencies, jet liners, golf courses, casinos, and private resorts. But it wasn’t so easy. About thirteen years ago, I was seriously in trouble. I was billions of dollars in debt. But I fought back and I won. I used my brain, I used my negotiation skills, and I worked it all out. Now my com pany’s bigger than it ever was, it’s stronger than it ever was, and I’m having more fun than I ever had.I’ve mastered the art of the deal, and I’ve turned the name Trump into a brand of the highest quality.

This is going to be the dream job of a lifetime.1. largest New York2. billions of dollars in debt3. Sixteen.Task 4When you go to job interviews, you’re often expected to introduce yourself at first. Your self-introduction plays an important role in making a good first impression on the interviewers. There is no fixed answer to what a good self-introduction is because of the differences in the companies, the interviewers and the job applicants. You might like to repeat the main points from your resume, or you might want to focus on the information that is not shown there. Whatever way you do it, my advice is that your information must be relevant to the job you apply for, or the quality they are looking for in you. At the same time, speak in a clear voice and in a friendly tone. Don’t forget your body language. A s mile and eye contact will help, too.Practical Listening:Welcome to the listening course. I'm Dr. Evans. First I'd like to give you a brief introduction to this course. Listening is central to our personal, educational, social, family and professional success. This course aims at helping you develop effective listening skills, attitudes, and behaviours. There will be a study of the listening process as well as the barriers to effective listening, and there will be training activities for self-improvement in different types of listening.The required textbook for our course is Listening written by William Brown. It's available both at the bookstore and the library. You will be evaluated on your performance in class, your homework an your test grades. There will be a final examination. No mid-term, but we will have a small test during the term. All right, any questions ListeningWilliam Brownbookstoreperformance in class testa small testUnit TwoListening SkillsTask 11.

Before leaving, I want to thank you for speaking with me.Task 2Dialogue 1W: I really had a good time tonight, but I guess I’ve got to go now, or I’ll miss the last bus. M: What time is it nowW: My watch says ten minutes to ten.Questions: What time is it according to the womanDialogue 2A: This is Helen. I’m calling to say goodbye.B: Hi, Helen.

She saw me on TV…running. I’m supposed to go on the number 9 bus to Richmond Street and get off and go one block left to 1947 Henry Street, Apartment 4.Old Laday: Why, you don’t need to take a bus. Henry Street is just five or six blocks down that way.Forrest: Down that wayOld Laday: Down that way.Forrest: It was nice talking to you.Old Laday: I hope everything works out for you!Core ListeningTask 1Dialogue 1M: Excuse me. Have you been waiting here for a long timeW: I’ve been here for about 15 minutes, I think.M: Does the bus here often take that long It’s so hot here.W: Well, it depends. Usually 5 minutes will do.M: The weather changes a lot these days. When I left the hotel, the weather forecast said it would be raining, yet now how the sun is shining!W: Weather forecasts are not always reliable, you know. Oh, here comes the bus! Got to go now. Bye!M: Goodbye!Dialogue 2Tim: Jerry, I heard that you’re moving to Shanghai.Jerry: Yes, Tim. My parents are opening a new shop there.Tim: I’ll certainly miss you very much here.Jerry: I’ll miss you, too.Tim: Let’s keep in touch.Jerry: I’ll call you as soon as I get there.Dialogue 3A:Thank you for all you’ve done for me. I really had a wonderful time staying with you.B: It’s my pleasure. Don’t forget to drop us a line or two when you have time.A: I certainly will. Let’s stay in touch.B: Take care and have a safe trip home.Dialogue 4A: I just dropped in to say goodbye. I’m leaving for Hongkong. I’ve just found a good job there.B: Congratulations! When are you leavingA: I’ll try to catch the 11:10 train tomorrow morning.B: I wish I could see you off at the station, but I have to be on duty tomorrow.A: That’s all right. We will write to each other, won’t weB: Sure! Have a good trip!Task 2Kate: Hey, David!Have you met my friendDavid: I’m afraid I have’t.Kate: Well, this is my oldest and best friend, Nancy. She’s visiting me from her university. David: Hi, I’m David.Nancy: Hi, David. It’s nice to meet you.David: So you will be staying in our school for the weekendNancy: Yes, I ‘ll stay with Kate here. We are doing some catching up together. I have a lot to tell her about my new school.David: Which university are you studying at Are you an English major like KateNancy: I’m doing my undergraduate study and City University. I’m in medicine.Kate: David, Nancy’s very good at writing, too. She started a poetry club when we were at high school. (To Nancy) David loves poetry very much.Nancy: Oh, really!David: You two must have had a lot of fun together then. I always appreciate those who write good poems. Kate, I’ll talk to you next Mondy. I’d better be going now. Nancy, nice meeting you, and enjoy your weekend here!Kate: See you later!Nancy: Thank you. Goodbye!Task 3Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overcome long distances to stay in touch in meaningful ways—and that means more than “Hi!” “How are you” “Everybody OK” “Good. See ya!”Cell phones, text messages, email, and computer-generated phones are all part of a battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.One-on-one communication through such means helps keep relationships alive, but the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks, especially of mixed generations is hard to achieveby mail and phone. Group communication by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family members living all over the map can arrange a conference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not recommended.The internet, however, provides options we never had before. Cyber communications make it a lot easier to saty in touch. And just in time, too. Families or friends can register as an e-group at “E-Groups” or other online linking serv ices. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, you’re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhave the topic or keep the linkers updated on children’s growth and other progress ca n be great fun, too!Task 4In daily life people are getting more and more informal. So don’t get surprised at English native-speakers not saying “How do you do” and shaking hands with you when you first meet. A causal “Hi” or “How are you doing” or “Hello” often takes the place, but it means the same thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, at the end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery “goodbye” or say something informal to the whole group such as “so long everybody” than circulating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewell.Key DPractical listeningMr. Zhang was a professor working at a university in Guangzhou. He spent four months at University of Sydney on a joint research project. He lived with a local family during his stay in Sydney, and made a lot of friends there. Before he returned home, his colleagues and friends in Sydney held a farewell party for him. And Mr. Zhou made a speech at the party: “I’d like to take this opportunity to say a few words. The four months I’ve spent here have been one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had in my life. Everybody I’ve met in Sydney has been so kind that I’ve really felt quite at home all the time.” Everyone here is so considerate in every way and so friendly in giving me every help I need in my work and life, that I really don’t know how I can thank you enough. I hope my host and my friends here will soon pay a return visit to Guangzhou. Now let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your hospitality and say goodbye to you all. Thank you!”Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Upside-downPhilip was the manager of a small electronics shop, where parts of electronic products were also available upon request. Once he ordered parts No. 699 from a factory. With a glance at the little box when he received it, he thought that someone had sent him parts instead. He was so angry at the factory’s incompetence that he immediately sent the box back without opening it, along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind. A few days later, Philip received the same box back, with a letter that contained just four words: “TURN THE BOX OVER”. It was not until he opened the box that he realized he was the one who had made a mistake.KeyPhilip was careless. The parts he received were right, but he held the box upside-down and mistook 699 to 669.Task 2It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange 这并不容易，你们也会诧异When I try to explain how I feel 我努力说出我的感受That I still need your love after all that I’ve done 因为即使今天，我仍然需要你们的爱You won’t believe me 你们不会相信All you will see is a girl you once knew 今天你们看到的，不过是曾经认识的小女孩Although she’s dressed up the nines 虽然穿着大人的衣服At sixes and sevens with you 举止思想依然幼稚I have to let it happen, I had to change 我别无选择，我只能抗争Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel 无法忍受草根生活Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun 呆望窗外，不见天日So I chose freedom 所以我选择了自由Running around, trying everything new 四处游历，不断尝新But nothing impressed me at all 但我并未遇到惊喜I never expected it to 我本来也没有奢望Don’t cry for me Argentina 阿根廷，别为我哭泣The truth is I never left you 我对你不离不弃All through my wild days, my mad existence 无论潦倒，无论疯狂I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance 我已信守诺言，请不要舍我而去And as for fortune, and as for fame 至于荣华，至于名利I never invited them in 我从未苛求Though it seemed to the world 虽然世人眼中They were all I desired 这是我唯一的目标They are illusions 它们不过是浮光幻影They’re not the solutions they promise to be 并非灵丹妙药The answer was here all the time我的答案一向都是：I love you and hope you love me 爱人，并希望人亦爱我Have I said too much 我是否说得太多There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you 其他的，暂时也想不起来But all you have to do is look at me to know 你们看着我，就会明白That every word is true 发自肺腑，字字真言Unit 3 Congratulations and Good WishesPart A Listening SkillsTask 11.

Have a great trip.M: Thank you.Question: What is the man going to doKey He is going to travel/have a trip to Tibet.Dialogue 2M: How did you do in your final examW: I got an A!

M: How about a surprise partyW: That’s a great idea. Let’s get started.Question: What are they going to doKey CDialogue 2W: It’s said that you’re moving to a new apartment soon.M: Yes. I was selected as director of the new branch of our firm in another city, so we will move there pretty soon. And you know, Kate has been longing for a bigger apartment for a long time.W: Yeah, she must be very happy now. Congratulations on your promotion.

It’s said you’ll be promoted to manager and become my immediate boss.Question: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers at the moment Key DDialogue 4M: Our football team has just won the league final match!W: Wow, we have become the league champion for the fourth time!M: Cheers!Question: How many times before has the school football team won the league championshipKey BTask 2A recent survey from America Online’s Tegic Communications shows that a “surprising number of people” in America and Europe are sending Christmas and New Year greetings by text messaging rather than through conventional paper cards via the mail. The survey is based on data from the . and five countries in Europe. When mobile users were asked whether they have or would send a “Merry Christmas” text message, the following percentages in an array of countries said yes, including:The ., 39 percentThe ., 56 percentFrance, 66 percentGermany, 79 percentSpain, 88 percentItaly, 91 percentIn addition, the figures about sending a “Happy New Year” text message were roughly equivalent. Other similar surveys show the increasing popularity of the text messaging as well. A report from the wireless provider Alltel indicates that text messaging increased by 154 percent during the last year.The wireless company said that in the month of June this year, billion text messages were sent, a huge increase from the billion sent a year earlier.Task 3Have you ever heard others saying “cross your fingers” or “I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you” The phrase “cross one’s fingers” may leave some people scratching their heads. This phrase is a wish for good luck. It has something to do with the old belief in the strong power of the Christian cross. For those living in the old times, they thought witches and ghosts existed in the real world and they blamed illness and bad luck on evil forces. The cross, they believed, could provide them protection and ward off the evil influence. Normally, making the sign of the cross involves four steps --- touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with your right hand. However, one can make a cross shortcut by curling the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.Although superstitions about the witches and the evils slowly die, the phrase “cross one’s fingers” lives on. It is used for such a long time that it has become an idiom not only used by Christians but also those who do not believe in God.Key1. good luck2. protect them/ provide them protection3. To curl the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.4. Yes.(It is used by Christians and non-Christians as well.)Task 4Failure, often taken as a negative part of life, can be a way towards success if you think it in another way. Successful persons are those who take failures wisely. Edison, the inventorof the light bulb, had made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to ma ke one. But he din’t allow himself to be down every time his experiment failed. Instead, he encouraged himself by thinking that he had just found another way that didn’t work, and had moved one step closer to making the right one. When you have a difficult time, don’t lose heart. Think about your failure. What caused it What can you learn from it What can you change so that things will improve next time Probably you will find that failure can really teach you a lot.Key 1. A 2. CPractical ListeningIt is reported that some 14 billion greeting text messages were sent during the week-long Spring Festival. The figure meant excellent income for professional message writers who write for the websites that provide downloading services for cute message seekers. According to an employee of China Mobile (one of China’s top two telecommunications operators), some productive text message writers earned more than 10,000 yuan in the week, equivalent to their average monthly income.Subscribers want cute, ingenious messages to extend greetings and bring joy and fun to their friends, so message writers must have a good command of the language, said a text message writer surnamed Chen. He also said that message writers must have basic training in art and music in order to produce multi-media messages.Key1.

A passenger and a clerk at the airport.2. His flight is delayed and he gets no notice.3. A sudden rainstorm.4. No, she can’t. She will keep the man informed as soon as possible.Task 3For many of us apologizing can be a difficult thing to do. However, our level of discomfort is usually relative to the offence.Most of us have no problem saying “I’m sorry” when we accidentally bump into someone on the street. In fact that type of situation is so common to us that the ensuing apology has become a reflex --- an automatic response with natural timing. But what will happen when we have to think about apologizingWhen we start to think about the apology, we also think the behavior or actions that led up to it. As a result, our thoughts, emotions and pride become part of the mix and we often feel embarrassed and a sense of shame and discomfort with the situation which then translates itself into not knowing how to apologise.The good news is that if we messed things up all the time, we would know exactly what to say and how to apologise --- just like we do when we bump into a stranger. The fact that we are not sure how to say sorry means that most of the time our behavior is pretty much on the right track.Key 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. FTask 4According to Maria Neuman, an American writer, an apology can be incredibly powerful, both for the one who makes it and the one who receives it. An honest apology can mend relationships, dissolve anger, or heal a broken heart. Apologizing can even have health benefits, such as lowering stress levels, as indicated by a study conducted by the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, avoiding an apology makes relationships more strained --- and it can reveal something negative about you. Being incapable of apologizing can be a real character flaw, according to Beverly Engel, a psychotherapist and author of The Power of Apology (John Wiley & Sons, 2001). It is necessary to know when you’re in the wrong, how to say it in the right way, and stop apologizing when you are not to blame, or when the apology is harshly rebuked. The three keys to a successful apology are regretting your actions, taking responsibility for your fault and being willing to remedy the situation.Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Have you noticed that many Japanese people mention words of apology easily In my case, when I don’t understand some English sentences, I often say unintentionally, “Sorry, I’m poor at hearing English. I don’t understand. ” I do actually feel bad that they must be patient with my poor English. But I know that I say “Sorry” not only as a real apology, but also it is the Japanese way.In daily life we apologise without thinking deeply. For one reason, I think we are not willing to express apology to others; this tendency is one part of our Japanese national character. And we haven’t had the background of lawsuit-active society like America. Before I came to America from Japan, I heard that we must not apologize even if we have a car accident.Another reason why we easily say “Sorry” h as to do with the Japanese language. There is one word “sumimasen” that can mean “thank you”, “excuse me”, and “sorry” all at the same time. The weight of each of these meanings depends the situation. For example, if a child gets an unexpected present, we would say, “sumimasen”, meaning mostly “thank you”. But we also might say, “Sumimasen, can you tell me how to find the library” Here, we mostly mean “excuse me”. Because this word is ambiguous, it is very convenient. But when I translate this word into Eng lish, I just say, “sorry”, not its whole, complex meaning.I like the Japanese way of communication. But I think in American I should be careful not to apologise too much, because I’m afraid the Japanese modest way sometimes makes Americans feel strange. Moreover, it is subject to being misunderstood as a lack of self-confidence or misunderstanding.Unit 5 ThanksA listening Skills。

全新版(第二版)第一册Unit1 TEXT A Writing for Myself 课文及翻译
Unit1 Writing for Myself 为自己而写1.The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but itwasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I've been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。
2.When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerlessyear in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim.He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts.

《致用英语（第二版）英语报刊阅读》答案Unit 1Passage I1.1) fixed-asset 固定资产的2) labor-intensive 劳动密集型的3) capital-intensive 资本密集型的4) value-added 增值的2.1) Beat expectations means do better than what is expected.2) Lose stream means to go more and more slowly, or to gradually lose interest.3) Fill in the slack means someone comes to do more work to solve the problem.4) On a good track means it is going in the right direction.3.1) foster; 2) output; 3) gained; 4) rebound4.1) According to Huang Yiping, an economics professor with Peking University, and a member of the Central Bank Advisory Committee, the downward pressure will continue in the rest of this year and the next (because the economy’s traditional growth engines, such as labor-intensive manufacturing and capital-intensive heavy industries are losing stream while new engines, such as high value-added manufacturing and services, are developing but not big enough to fill in the slack).2)According to Tsinghua University’s Center for China in the World Economy, China’s growth in GDP will rebound (increase again after decreasing) to 6.9 percent from 6.8 percent expected this year (backed by a warm-up in property market and the trickle-down effect of previously-approved infrastructure projects.)Passage II1.1) Factor into means to include a particular thing in your calculations or into your considerations.2) Expectations of higher interest rates in the US that have pushed the value of the dollar higher; weaker demand abroad is also playing a role.2.1) increase: surged, raise, swelled, increase, growth, rose; decrease: declined, devalued, fell.2)the largest expansiona strong dollarwell above the average levelsthe world’s second-largestslightly more than halfto their lowest level$500 million lesshave pushed the value of the dollar higherPassage I1.transcript: an official college document that shows a list of a student’s classes and the results they receivedadulthood: the time when you are an adultgauge: to measure or calculate something by using a particular instrument or methodopaque: difficult to understand2.1) proponent; 2) excelled; 3) conceivable; 4) admissions3.1) If something is phased out, people gradually stop using it.2) Showing no difference; in agreement with3) To set a goal that is not easy to achieve4) To get rid of people or things unwanted4.1) Many American schools are phasing out class ranking systems to cut down on the hyper-competition and lessen the stress at such a critical learning point and maturation curve in kids’ lives.2) Some parents are worried that the new policy hurts high-achieving students’ chances of getting over the bar, while forcing colleges and universities to rely on perhaps less reliable or easily gauged measures or on standardized tests like the ACT or SA T.Passage II1.1) On campus, students will be limited in learning. To call the boys scholars instead of students is to promote the highest expectations: the scholars are encouraged to think beyond school, to university.2) Every school run by the city will receive a public report card, with a grade that reflects both academic performance and surveys of students, parents and teachers. Schools that do well will get a boost to their budget; the principal may get a bonus of up to $25,000 on top of a base salary of $115,000-$145,000. Schools graded D or F (about 12% of them this year) will have to submit improvement plans that will be implemented with support from Mr. Klein’s department. Principals whose schools are still faltering after two years will be fired. Schools still failing after four years will be closed.The new mayor promptly moved the schools’ headquarters from its sprawling building in Brooklyn to be next to the heart of his government in City Hall. He hired Mr. Klein, and they set about changing things—at first by taking decision-making away from the patronage-heavy local school boards, and then by decentralising it to accountable principals, and by actively piloting experimental charter schools that could be models for others. A new “leadership academy” was created to train principals. Big schools with poor graduation rates were closed, and replaced with smaller ones, often several sharing the same building once occupied by a single big school.2.Open-minded.Passage I1.1) comply with; 2) in exchange for;3) in favour of; 4) part with2.1) overturned; 2) unconstitutional; 3) proliferate; 4) exception3.1) to worry about something, especially when there is no need.2) If someone in authorities imposes a rule, punishment, tax, etc., they force people to accept it.3) to deliberately use something for the wrong purpose or for your own advantage.4) an incentive is something that encourages you to work harder, start a new activity, etc.4.1) Many inhabitants of São Paulo think their city is prettier as a result. Besides, inspired by the success of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Porto Alegre and even Buenos Aires, capital of Brazil’s neighbour Argentina, are also discussing measures to reduce or ban outdoor ads. São Paulo set a good example to follow!2) Outdoor advertisers pay municipal authorities good money for the use of public space. They sometimes also provide cities with bus shelters, public loos and so forth in exchange for the right to place advertisements on them. This trade gives outdoor advertisers and local authorities a strong incentive to work with one another. And the more legal advertising there is, the more reluctant city governments will be to part with the revenue and services it brings. Therefore, municipal revenue will be the virtual reason for reintroducing outdoor advertising one day.Passage II1.1) Yes. Newspapers are still considered an effective medium to communicate to potential customers. Writing a press release should help in gaining free publicity. In addition, newsletters circulated through newspapers are effectively medium even in today’s world, oriented towards digital media.2) To write content that explains about business in a clear and effective manner; to have command over the language in order to create content that is both informative and catchy.2.1) With the rapid progress of Internet shopping, many business companies have started targeting their potential customers online. As a result, advertising activity is carried out not only offline and online. Online advertising more than doubles the efficiency of traditional offline advertising.2) WeChat, microblog, Twitter, MSN, QQ… (Teacher sums up after students’ discussion)Unit 4Passage I1.1) overcome; 2) exceptionally; 3) walkout; 4) commitment2.1) ostensible; 2) ratify; 3) convene; 4) eliminate31) The labor union dismissed all the protesters.2) The rank and file are the ordinary members of an organization.3) If something such as a business turns around, it becomes successful, after being unsuccessful for a period of time.4) Remove the big difference in a short time.4.1) The ostensible reason for the strike is guarantees of job security.2) UAW and GM agreed to shift GM’s liabilities for retiree health care to a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association.Passage II1.转行可从不是件易事。

I own buildings all over the place, model agencies, jet liners, golf courses, casinos, and private resorts. But it wasn’t so easy. About thirteen years ago, I was seriously in trouble. I was billions of dollars in debt. But I fought back and I won. I used my brain, I used my negotiation skills, andI worked it all out. Now my company’s bigger than it ever was, it’s stronger than it ever was, and I’m having more fun than I ever had.I’ve mastered the art of the deal, and I’ve turned the name Trump into a brand of the highest quality. And as the master, I want to pass along my knowledge to somebody else. I’m looking for the apprentice.Right now all over the country, sixteen of America’s best and young entrepreneurs are arriving in New York for the chance to work as my apprentice and get a first-hand look into the world of big business. They come from all walks of life. This is the chance to work for me for a huge salary and more importantly learn enough so that maybe they too can become a billionaire some day. This is going to be the dream job of a lifetime.1. largest New York2. billions of dollars in debt3. Sixteen.Task 4When you go to job interviews, you’re often expected to introduce yourself at first. Your self-introduction plays an important role in making a good first impression on the interviewers. There is no fixed answer to what a good self-introduction is because of the differences in the companies, the interviewers and the job applicants. You might like to repeat the main points from your resume, or you might want to focus on the information that is not shown there. Whatever way you do it, my advice is that your information must be relevant to the job you apply for, or the quality they are looking for in you. At the same time, speak in a clear voice and in a friendly tone. Don’t forget your body language. A smile and eye contact will help, too.Practical Listening:Welcome to the listening course. I'm Dr. Evans. First I'd like to give you a brief introduction to this course. Listening is central to our personal, educational, social, family and professional success. This course aims at helping you develop effective listening skills, attitudes, and behaviours. There will be a study of the listening process as well as the barriers to effective listening, and there will be training activities for self-improvement in different types of listening.The required textbook for our course is Listening written by William Brown. It's available both at the bookstore and the library. You will be evaluated on your performance in class, your homework an your test grades. There will be a final examination. No mid-term, but we will have a small test during the term. All right, any questions?ListeningWilliam Brownbookstoreperformance in class testa small testUnit TwoListening SkillsTask 11.

We will write to each other, won’t we?B: Sure! Have a good trip!Task 2Kate: Hey, David!Have you met my friend?David: I’m afraid I have’t.Kate: Well, this is my oldest and best friend, Nancy. She’s visiting me from her university.David: Hi, I’m David.Nancy: Hi, David. It’s nice to meet you.David: So you will be staying in our school for the weekend?Nancy: Yes, I ‘ll stay with Kate here. We are doing some catching up together. I have a lot to tell her about my new school.David: Which university are you studying at? Are you an English major like Kate? Nancy: I’m doing my undergraduate study and City University. I’m in medicine. Kate: David, Nancy’s very good at writing, too. She started a poetry club when we were at high school. (To Nancy) David loves poetry very much.Nancy: Oh, really!David: You two must have had a lot of fun together then. I always appreciate those who write good poems. Kate, I’ll talk to you next Mondy. I’d better be going now. Nancy, nice meeting you, and enjoy your weekend here!Kate: See you later!Nancy: Thank you. Goodbye!Task 3Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overcome long distances to stay in touch in meaningful ways?—and that means more than “Hi!”“How are you”“Everybody OK?”“Good. See ya!”Cell phones, text messages, email, and computer-generated phones are all part of a battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.One-on-one communication through such means helps keep relationships alive, but the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks, especially of mixed generations is hard to achieve by mail and phone. Group communication by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family members living all over the map can arrange a conference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not recommended.The internet, however, provides options we never had before. Cyber communications make it a lot easier to saty in touch. And just in time, too. Families or friends can register as an e-group at “E-Groups” or other online linking services. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, you’re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhave the topic or keep the linkers updated on children’s growth and other progress can be great fun, too!Task 4In daily life people are getting more and more informal. So don’t get surprised at English native-speakers not saying “How do you do?” and shaking hands with you when you first meet. A causal “Hi” or “How are you doing?” or “Hello” often takes the place, but it means the same thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, at the end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery “goodbye” or say something informal to the whole group such as “so long everybody”than circulating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewell. Key DPractical listeningMr. Zhang was a professor working at a university in Guangzhou. He spent four months at University of Sydney on a joint research project. He lived with a local family during his stay in Sydney, and made a lot of friends there. Before he returned home, his colleagues and friends in Sydney held a farewell party for him. And Mr. Zhou made a speech at the party:“I’d like to take this opportunity to say a few words. The four months I’ve spent here have been one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had in my life. Everybody I’ve met in Sydney has been so kind that I’ve really felt quite at home all the time.” Everyone here is so considerate in every way and so friendly in giving me every help I need in my work and life, that I really don’t know how I can thank you enough. I hope my host and my friends here will soon pay a return visit to Guangzhou. Now let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your hospitality and say goodbye to you all. Thank you!”Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Upside-downPhilip was the manager of a small electronics shop, where parts of electronic products were also available upon request. Once he ordered parts No. 699 from a factory. With a glance at the little box when he received it, he thought that someone had sent him parts No.669 instead. He was so angry at the factory’s incompetence that he immediately sent the box back without opening it, along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind.

The survey is based on data from the U.S. and five countries in Europe. When mobile users were asked whether they have or would send a “Merry Christmas”text message, the following percentages in an array of countries said yes, including: The U.S., 39 percentThe U.K., 56 percentFrance, 66 percentGermany, 79 percentSpain, 88 percentItaly, 91 percentIn addition, the figures about sending a “Happy New Year” text message were roughly equivalent. Other similar surveys show the increasing popularity of the text messaging as well. A report from the wireless provider Alltel indicates that text messaging increased by 154 percent during the last year.The wireless company said that in the month of June this year, 7.2 billion text messages were sent, a huge increase from the 2.8 billion sent a year earlier.Task 3Have you ever heard others saying “cross your fingers” or “I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you”? The phrase “cross one’s fingers” may leave some people scratching their heads. This phrase is a wish for good luck. It has something to do with the old belief in the strong power of the Christian cross. For those living in the old times, they thought witches and ghosts existed in the real world and they blamed illness and bad luck on evil forces. The cross, they believed, could provide them protection and ward off the evil influence. Normally, making the sign of the cross involves four steps --- touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with your right hand. However, one can make a cross shortcut by curling the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.Although superstitions about the witches and the evils slowly die, the phrase “cross one’s fingers” lives on. It is used for such a long time that it has become an idiom not only used by Christians but also those who do not believe in God. Key1. good luck2. protect them/ provide them protection3. To curl the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.4. Yes.(It is used by Christians and non-Christians as well.)Task 4Failure, often taken as a negative part of life, can be a way towards success if you think it in another way. Successful persons are those who take failures wisely. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, had made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. But he din’t allow himself to be down every time his experiment failed. Instead, he encouraged himself by thinking that he had just found another way that didn’t work, and had moved one step closer to making the right one. When you have a difficult time, don’t lose heart. Think about your failure. What caused it? What can you learn from it? What can you change so that things will improve next time? Probably you will find that failure can really teach you a lot. Key 1. A 2. CPractical ListeningIt is reported that some 14 billion greeting text messages were sent during theweek-long Spring Festival. The figure meant excellent income for professional message writers who write for the websites that provide downloading services for cute message seekers. According to an employee of China Mobile (one of China’s top two telecommunications operators), some productive text message writers earned more than 10,000 yuan in the week, equivalent to their average monthly income.Subscribers want cute, ingenious messages to extend greetings and bring joy and fun to their friends, so message writers must have a good command of the language, said a text message writer surnamed Chen. He also said that message writers must have basic training in art and music in order to produce multi-media messages.Key1.

However, our level of discomfort is usually relative to the offence.Most of us have no problem saying “I’m sorry” when we accidentally bump into someone on the street. In fact that type of situation is so common to us that the ensuing apology has become a reflex --- an automatic response with natural timing. But what will happen when we have to think about apologizing?When we start to think about the apology, we also think the behavior or actions that led up to it. As a result, our thoughts, emotions and pride become part of the mix and we often feel embarrassed and a sense of shame and discomfort with the situation which then translates itself into not knowing how to apologise.The good news is that if we messed things up all the time, we would know exactly what to say and how to apologise --- just like we do when we bump into a stranger. The fact that we are not sure how to say sorry means that most of the time our behavior is pretty much on the right track.Key 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. FTask 4According to Maria Neuman, an American writer, an apology can be incredibly powerful, both for the one who makes it and the one who receives it. An honest apology can mend relationships, dissolve anger, or heal a broken heart. Apologizing can even have health benefits, such as lowering stress levels, as indicated by a study conducted by the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, avoiding an apology makes relationships more strained --- and it can reveal something negative about you. Being incapable of apologizing can be a real character flaw, according to Beverly Engel, a psychotherapist and author of The Power of Apology (John Wiley & Sons, 2001). It is necessary to know when you’re in the wrong, how to say it in the right way, and stop apologizing when you are not to blame, or when the apology is harshly rebuked. The three keys to a successful apology are regretting your actions, taking responsibility for your fault and being willing to remedy the situation.Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Have you noticed that many Japanese people mention words of apology easily? In my case, when I don’t understand some English sentences, I often say unintentionally, “Sorry, I’m poor at hearing English. I don’t understand. ” I do actually feel bad that they must be patient with my poor English. But I know that I say “Sorry”not only as a real apology, but also it is the Japanese way.In daily life we apologise without thinking deeply. For one reason, I think we are not willing to express apology to others; this tendency is one part of our Japanese national character. And we haven’t had the background of lawsuit-active society like America. Before I came to America from Japan, I heard that we must not apologize even if we have a car accident.Another reason why we easily say “Sorry” has to do with the Japanese language. There is one word “sumimasen” that can mean “thank you”, “excuse me”, and “sorry”all at the same time. The weight of each of these meanings depends the situation. For example, if a child gets an unexpected present, we would say, “sumimasen”, meaning mostly “thank you”. But we also might say, “Sumimasen, can you tell me how to find the library?” Here, we mostly mean “excuse me”. Because this word is ambiguous,it is very convenient. But when I translate this word into English, I just say, “sorry”, not its whole, complex meaning.I like the Japanese way of communication. But I think in American I should be careful not to apologise too much, because I’m afraid the Japanese modest way sometimes makes Americans feel strange. Moreover, it is subject to being misunderstood as a lack of self-confidence or misunderstanding.Unit 5 ThanksA listening SkillsTask 11.My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy.2.Li Ming was three when his parents immigrated to America.3.They lived in Chicago for ten years.4.Lucy’s grandmother once worked in the ice cream factory.5.At 16，Caroline graduated from her high school class.Task 2Dialogue 1M: Thank you for the wonderful party and delicious food.W: Oh, I’m glad you like it.M: I really had a good time.

Your self-introduction plays an important role in making a good first impression on the interviewers. There is no fixed answer to what a good self-introduction is because of the differences in the panies, the interviewers and the job applicants. You might like to repeat the main points from your resume, or you might want to focus on the information that is not shown there. Whatever way you do it, my advice is that your information must be relevant to the job you apply for, or the quality they are looking for in you. At the same time, speak in a clear voice and in a friendly tone. Don’t forget your body language. A smile and eye contact will help, too.Practical Listening:Wele to the listening course. I'm Dr. Evans. First I'd like to give you a brief introduction to this course. Listening is central to our personal, educational, social, family and professional success. This course aims at helping you develop effective listening skills, attitudes, and behaviours. There will be a study of the listening process as well as the barriers to effective listening, and there will be training activities for self-improvement in different types of listening.The required textbook for our course is Listening written by William Brown. It's available both at the bookstore and the library. You will be evaluated on your performance in class, your homework an your test grades. There will be a final examination. No mid-term, but we will have a small test during the term. All right, any questions?ListeningWilliam Brownbookstoreperformance in class testa small testUnit TwoListening SkillsTask 11.

She’s visiting me from her university.David: Hi, I’m David.Nancy: Hi, David. It’s nice to meet you.David: So you will be staying in our school for the weekend?Nancy: Yes, I ‘ll stay with Kate here. We are doing some catching up together. I have a lot to tell her about my new school.David: Which university are you studying at? Are you an English major like Kate?Nancy: I’m doing my undergraduate study and City University. I’m in medicine.Kate: David, Nancy’s very good at writing, too. She started a poetry club when we were at high school. (To Nancy) David loves poetry very much.Nancy: Oh, really!David: You two must have had a lot of fun together then. I always appreciate those who write good poems. Kate, I’ll talk to you next Mondy. I’d better be going now. Nancy, nice meeting you, and enjoy your weekend here!Kate: See you later!Nancy: Thank you. Goodbye!Task 3Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overe long distances to stay in touch in meaningful ways?—and that means more than “Hi!〞“How are you〞“Everybody OK?〞“Good. See ya!〞Cell phones, text messages, email, and puter-generated phones are all part of a battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.One-on-one munication through such means helps keep relationships alive, but the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks, especially of mixed generations is hard to achieve by mail and phone. Group munication by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family members living all over the map can arrange a conference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not remended.The internet, however, provides options we never had before. Cyber munications make it a lot easier to saty in touch. And just in time, too. Families or friends can register as an e-group at “E-Groups〞or other online linking services. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, you’re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhave the topic or keep the linkers updated on children’s growth and other progress can be great fun, too!Task 4In daily life people are getting more and more informal. So don’t get surprised at English native-speakers not saying “How do you do?〞and shaking hands with you when you first meet. A causal “Hi〞or “How are you doing?〞or “Hello〞often takes the place, but it means the same thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, at the end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery “goodbye〞or say something informal to the whole group such as “so long everybody〞than circulating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewell.Key DPractical listeningMr. Zhang was a professor working at a university in Guangzhou. He spent four months atUniversity of Sydney on a joint research project. He lived with a local family during his stay in Sydney, and made a lot of friends there. Before he returned home, his colleagues and friends in Sydney held a farewell party for him. And Mr. Zhou made a speech at the party:“I’d like to take this opportunity to say a few words. The four months I’ve spent here have been one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had in my life. Everybody I’ve met in Sydney has been so kind that I’ve really felt quite at home all the time.〞Everyone here is so considerate in every way and so friendly in giving me every help I need in my work and life, that I really don’t know how I can thank you enough. I hope my host and my friends here will soon pay a return visit to Guangzhou. Now let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your hospitality and say goodbye to you all. Thank you!〞Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Upside-downPhilip was the manager of a small electronics shop, where parts of electronic products were also available upon request. Once he ordered parts No. 699 from a factory. With a glance at the little box when he received it, he thought that someone had sent him parts No.669 instead. He was so angry at the factory’s inpetence that he immediately sent the box back without opening it, along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind. A few days later, Philip received the same box back, with a letter that contained just four words: “TURN THE BOX OVER〞. It was not until he opened the box that he realized he was the one who had made a mistake.KeyPhilip was careless. The parts he received were right, but he held the box upside-down and mistook 699 to 669.Task 2It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange 这并不容易，你们也会惊讶When I try to explain how I feel 我努力说出我的感受That I still need your love after all that I’ve done 因为即使今天，我仍然需要你们的爱You won’t believe me 你们不会相信All you will see is a girl you once knew 今天你们看到的，不过是曾经认识的小女孩Although she’s dressed up the nines 虽然穿着大人的衣服At sixes and sevens with you 举止思想依然幼稚I have to let it happen, I had to change 我别无选择，我只能抗争Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel 无法忍受草根生活Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun 呆望窗外，不见天日So I chose freedom 所以我选择了自由Running around, trying everything new 四处游历，不断尝新But nothing impressed me at all 但我并未遇到惊喜I never expected it to 我本来也没有奢望Don’t cry for me Argentina 阿根廷，别为我哭泣The truth is I never left you 我对你不离不弃All through my wild days, my mad existence 无论潦倒，无论疯狂I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance 我已信守诺言，请不要舍我而去And as for fortune, and as for fame 至于荣华，至于名利I never invited them in 我从未苛求Though it seemed to the world 虽然世人眼中They were all I desired 这是我唯一的目标They are illusions 它们不过是浮光幻影They’re not the solutions they promise to be 并非灵丹妙药The answer was here all the time我的答案一向都是：I love you and hope you love me 爱人，并希望人亦爱我Have I said too much? 我是否说得太多？There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you 其他的，暂时也想不起来But all you have to do is look at me to know 你们看着我，就会明白That every word is true发自肺腑，字字真言Unit 3 Congratulations and Good WishesPart A Listening SkillsTask 11.

The survey is based on data from the U.S. and five countries in Europe. When mobile users were asked whether they have or would send a “Merry Christmas〞text message, the following percentages in an array of countries said yes, including:The U.S., 39 percentThe U.K., 56 percentFrance, 66 percentGermany, 79 percentSpain, 88 percentItaly, 91 percentIn addition, the figures about sending a “Happy New Year〞text message were roughly equivalent. Other similar surveys show the increasing popularity of the text messaging as well. A report from the wireless provider Alltel indicates that text messaging increased by 154 percent during the last year.The wireless pany said that in the month of June this year, 7.2 billion text messages were sent, a huge increase from the 2.8 billion sent a year earlier.Task 3Have you ever heard others saying “cross your fingers〞or “I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you〞? The phrase “cross one’s fingers〞may leave some people scratching their heads. This phrase is a wish for good luck. It has something to do with the old belief in the strong power of the Christian cross. For those living in the old times, they thought witches and ghosts existed in the real world and they blamed illness and bad luck on evil forces. The cross, they believed, could provide them protection and ward off the evil influence. Normally, making the sign of the cross involves foursteps--- touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with your right hand. However, one can make a cross shortcut by curling the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.Although superstitions about the witches and the evils slowly die, the phrase “cross one’s fingers〞lives on. It is used for such a long time that it has bee an idiom not only used by Christians but also those who do not believe in God.Key1. good luck2. protect them/ provide them protection3. To curl the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.4. Yes.(It is used by Christians and non-Christians as well.)Task 4Failure, often taken as a negative part of life, can be a way towards success if you think it in another way. Successful persons are those who take failures wisely. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, had made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. But he din’t allow himself to be down every time his experiment failed. Instead, he encouraged himself by thinking that he had just found another way that didn’t work, and had moved one step closer to making the right one. When you have a difficult time, don’t lose heart. Think about your failure. What caused it? What can you learn from it? What can you change so that things will improve next time? Probably you will find that failure can really teach you a lot.Key 1. A 2. CPractical ListeningIt is reported that some 14 billion greeting text messages were sent during the week-long Spring Festival. The figure meant excellent ine for professional message writers who write for the websites that provide downloading services for cute message seekers. According to an employee of China Mobile (one of China’s top two telemunications operators), some productive text message writers earned more than 10,000 yuan in the week, equivalent to their average monthly ine.Subscribers want cute, ingenious messages to extend greetings and bring joy and fun to their friends, so message writers must have a good mand of the language, said a text message writer surnamed Chen. He also said that message writers must have basic training in art and music in order to produce multi-media messages.Key1.

She will keep the man informed as soon as possible.Task 3For many of us apologizing can be a difficult thing to do. However, our level of disfort is usually relative to the offence.Most of us have no problem saying “I’m sorry〞when we accidentally bump into someone on the street. In fact that type of situation is so mon to us that the ensuing apology has bee a reflex --- an automatic response with natural timing. But what will happen when we have to think about apologizing?When we start to think about the apology, we also think the behavior or actions that led up to it. As a result, our thoughts, emotions and pride bee part of the mix and we often feel embarrassed and a sense of shame and disfort with the situation which then translates itself into not knowing how to apologise.The good news is that if we messed things up all the time, we would know exactly what to sayand how to apologise --- just like we do when we bump into a stranger. The fact that we are not sure how to say sorry means that most of the time our behavior is pretty much on the right track.Key 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. FTask 4According to Maria Neuman, an American writer, an apology can be incredibly powerful, both for the one who makes it and the one who receives it. An honest apology can mend relationships, dissolve anger, or heal a broken heart. Apologizing can even have health benefits, such as lowering stress levels, as indicated by a study conducted by the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, avoiding an apology makes relationships more strained --- and it can reveal something negative about you. Being incapable of apologizing can be a real character flaw, according to Beverly Engel, a psychotherapist and author of The Power of Apology (John Wiley & Sons, 2001). It is necessary to know when you’re in the wrong, how to say it in the right way, and stop apologizing when you are not to blame, or when the apology is harshly rebuked. The three keys to a successful apology are regretting your actions, taking responsibility for your fault and being willing to remedy the situation.Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Have you noticed that many Japanese people mention words of apology easily? In my case, when I don’t understand some English sentences, I often say unintentionally, “Sorry, I’m poor at hearing English. I don’t understand. 〞I do actually feel bad that they must be patient with my poor English. But I know that I say “Sorry〞not only as a real apology, but also it is the Japanese way.In daily life we apologise without thinking deeply. For one reason, I think we are not willing to express apology to others; this tendency is one part of our Japanese national character. And we haven’t had the background of lawsuit-active society like America. Before I came to America from Japan, I heard that we must not apologize even if we have a car accident.Another reason why we easily say “Sorry〞has to do with the Japanese language. There is one word “sumimasen〞that can mean “thank you〞, “excuse me〞, and “sorry〞all at the same time. The weight of each of these meanings depends the situation. For example, if a child gets an unexpected present, we would say, “sumimasen〞, meaning mostly “thank you〞. But we also might say, “Sumimasen, can you tell me how to find the library?〞Here, we mostly mean “excuse me〞. Because this word is ambiguous, it is very convenient. But when I translate this word into English, I just say, “sorry〞, not its whole, plex meaning.I like the Japanese way of munication. But I think in American I should be careful not to apologise too much, because I’m afraid the Japanese modest way sometimes makes Americans feel strange. Moreover, it is subject to being misunderstood as a lack of self-confidence or misunderstanding.Unit 5 Thanks。
