Unit 1 Our EarthListeningAudio Track 4-1-11. I’ve visited a few caves in Guilin. The rocks in the caves are in different shapes and colors. If you use your imagination, the rocks can resemble many different things. It looks like a whole other world.2. I went to the desert in Gansu once. As I stood in the middle of the desert, I faced endless sand and felt very small. By day the desert was extremely hot, by night it got very cold. I experienced summer and winter in the same day.3. To my knowledge, California has beautiful coastlines. People love them and thousands of volunteers often give up part of their weekends to keep the sandy Californian beaches clean.4. The Port of Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It handles many millions of shipping containers each year. In fact it might even be the busiest container port in the world.5. Japan has many hot springs. Some of them are located in mountainous areas and are great attractions to foreign tourists. Supposedly, the hot springs have healing properties.6. The most famous mountain range in the world is the Himalayas. It contains the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest (i.e. Qomolangma), which climbs to a height of 8,848 meters.7. The White Cliffs of Dover are one of the United K ingdom’s most spectacular natural sights. The cliffs are made from bright white stone. On a clear day, they are visible from France, approximately 30 kilometers away.8. Mount Vesuvius is a famous volcano in Italy, which has not been active for about two centuries. But people say it might erupt again, someday soon.9. Niagara Falls crosses the border of two countries, Canada and the United States. Every year, millions of tourists observe the beauty of these magnificent waterfalls. More recently, the waterfalls have become a valuable source of hydroelectric power.Audio Track 4-1-2/Audio Track 4-1-3Blake: What are you working on, Mary?Mary: I’m finishing my paper. It’s due tomorrow, Blake.Blake: What’s the topic?Mary: It’s about Greenland.Blake: Greenl and. Hmmm … that’s part of Canada, right?Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake.Blake: Well, isn’t it near Canada?Mary: Yes, it’s off the coast of northeast Canada, but it’s part of Denmark.Blake: Oh, I didn’t know that. Well, what’s your paper about exactly?Mary: In my paper, I answer the question “Is Greenland really green?” In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?Blake: Is it?Mary: What do you think?Blake: Let’s see … Greenland is in the Arctic Circl e —way up north. It’s cold, … so “Is Greenland really green?” I’d answer “probably not.”Mary: You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws.Blake: That sounds tough.Mary: It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not easy to build in Greenland.Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there?Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes see whales swimming in the harbors. Blake: That sounds cool! OK, so if it’s not really a “green” place, why was it named “Greenland”? Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name.Audio Track 4-1-4/Audio Track 4-1-5Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!Elise: What is it?Jay: It’s called “The Titanic of the Sky.” It’s about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg …Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died.Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing.Jay: Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think? It doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have today.Elise: That’s true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous.Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg “man’s greatest achievement in flight.” They thought it was safe, I guess.Elise: Who rode in it anyway?Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a “flying hotel.”Elise: It sounds pretty great.Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That’s why people rode it. They wanted to get to their de stination faster. Elise: Why didn’t they just take a jet plane?Jay: Elise! You know they didn’t have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the US by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I’ll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I’ll learn something …Audio Track 4-1-6/Audio Track 4-1-7/Audio Track 4-1-8Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer.Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil.Jack: They also look really cool.Kayla: That’s true, but there are some SUVs which are not that big but also very beautiful.Jack: And I think big cars are more fun to drive.Kayla: But then again, it’s very expensive.Jack: Well, let’s get more informat ion about several kinds of cars, okay?Audio Track 4-1-9My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country.Audio Track 4-1-10/Audio Track 4-1-11Modern buildings: We love them, we hate them.The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, Ame rican architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor’s entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other h and, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.Audio Track 4-1-12/Audio Track 4-1-13Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?Erika: I think it’s overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropoli tan area and they will say the same thing. There’s no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowded.Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn’t any land left for building, right?Erika: Yes, that’s true, but you have to think creatively. You can’t give up so easily. Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest?Erika: What I’m saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots,malls, hotels and even apartment buildings. There’s plenty of space.Interviewer: Isn’t it expensive?Erika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don’t have to pay robots a salary.Interviewer: Isn’t “building down” more dangerous than other kinds of construction?Erika: Actually, I think it’s safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways, and underground shopping malls. I’m just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper.Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?Erika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there’s a new idea, it can cause controversy. But “building down” is not some kind of impractical idea. It ma kes sense. There is so much space underground: it can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we’d be crazy not to consider the idea —it’s the wave of the future.Audio Track 4-1-141. deep cave2. arid desert3. long mountain range4. active volcanoAudio Track 4-1-15a. narrow harborb. long, sunny beachc. busy vacationd. high cliffsSpeaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-1-16/Audio Track 4-1-17Bart: So what exactly did you do over the summer?Gustav: We worked as volunteers at Glacier National Park.Bart: I’ve never been there. What’s it like?Carolina: It’s beautiful. There are mountains and lakes ... and, of course, glaciers!Bart: How was the job?Gustav: We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind of hard.Carolina: That’s true, but it was exciting, too! We actually saw bears!Bart: Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should apply. I’ll need a job next summer. Carolina: Sorry, Bart, but you can’t apply to that program. It’s a special progra m for international students.Audio Track 4-1-18Conversation 1A: I’d like to live in a city apartment. It would be near public transportation as that would save a lot of time. I don’t want to waste time commuting several hours each day from home to uni versity. B: That’s very nice, but I’d prefer to live in the suburbs. The prices there are lower and we would be able to afford a house with bigger bedrooms.A: It would be cheaper, but don’t you think the suburbs would be inconvenient?B: Well, you have a point there, so we would need to get a car too.Conversation 2A: I’d prefer to live in the suburbs. We would enjoy the peace and quiet, away from all the city noise. Moreover, it would be a good environment for study.B: Even so, I think life in the subur bs would be boring. We’d have nothing to do on weekends.Audio Track 4-1-19I’d like to visit Angel Falls most because I have never seen a real waterfall. But then again, I’m a little afraid of heights and it is the world’s highest waterfall! The Andes i s the place I would least like to go to because I don’t particularly like hiking or trekking.Audio Track 4-1-20I think the Channel Tunnel is the most amazing feat. It’s hard to imagine a train running under the sea, but this is a reality. I think this engineering masterpiece really shows what can be achieved when two countries work together. There is now a high-speed rail service connecting the United Kingdom and France.Video CourseVideo Track 4-1-1Alejandra: One of the most beautiful natural wond ers I’ve seen are the glaciers in the south of Argentina.Nick: The Matterhorn, which is a mountain in Switzerland, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. My dad and I climbed about halfway, and once we got there it started snowing so wehad to turn back.Catherine: I climbed up to Everest (i.e. Qomolangma) Base Camp. All of a sudden, you look up and there’s this huge mountain that everyone’s talked about, that everyone’s photographed, and you’ve seen what it’s like in pictures but you’ve never seen it in person.Kumiko: Mt. Fuji is really beautiful from far away. When you climb it, it’s just rocks and dirt … but it’s really beautiful from far away.Natalie: I went to Niagara Falls for a family reunion. It was one of the most memorable times of my life because I got to be around people who I love — my family. And it was also one of the most beautiful sites that I’ve ever seen.Video Track 4-1-2Natalie: I went to Niagara Falls for a family reunion. It was one of the most memorable times of my life because I got to be around people who I love — my family. And it was also one of the most beautiful sites that I’ve ever seen.Video Track 4-1-3Kevin: The most impressive man-made wonder that I have seen is the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall took several thousands of people to build, it stretches many, many miles throughout China, and it was made in a period where we didn’t have all the technological advancements … like cranes and lifts.Gian: Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an amazing feat of engineering! It gives you a chance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bay and it’s just a wonderful chance to see the city.Woo Sung: I saw the Hoover Dam once and I didn’t like it very much. It was in the middle of the desert and it’s just very hot, and there wasn’t much activity going on … and it’s just a big concrete structure.Video Track 4-1-4Kevin: The most impressive man-made wonder that I have seen is the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall took several thousands of people to build, it stretches many, many miles throughout China, and it was made in a period where we didn’t have all the technological advancements … like cranes and lifts.Gian: Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an amazing feat of engineering! It gives you a chance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bay and it’s just a wonderful chance to see the city.Video Track 4-1-5Takeshi: Man, look at that! In New York there’s always something being built. And everything goes up so quickly … you never know what’s going to be around next week.Roberto: Yeah, but on the other hand, sometimes I wonder about overcrowding. Maybe they need to start building down more.Takeshi: Building down?Roberto: Yeah, it’s when you build underground instead of aboveground.Takeshi: Nah, that’s too much like living in a cave. I love the skyscrapers! They are the most incredible feats of engineering!Roberto: True. And some of the first ones were built right here in New York City.Takeshi: That’s right! You know, I wonder what New York looked like before all these buildings popped up.Roberto: I don’t know, but I’d like to see this one when it’s finished.Takeshi: Yeah. I’ll bet it’ll be something fantastic!Roberto: Maybe … what do you think it’s going to look like?Takeshi: I don’t know … but you know what? I’m going to remember what it looked like. Roberto: What are you talking about? And why are you taking pictures? There’s nothing there. Takeshi: OK. You know how some people get famous because they have pictures of movie stars or performers before they make it big?Roberto: Yeah?Takeshi: Well, some buildings and architectural structures get to be famous too, like theEiffel Tower or the Empire State Building … right?Roberto: Yeah, and …? There’s nothing here!Takeshi: Right! But there will be. Someday this very spot may become really well-known — like maybe it’ll be some incredible hotel that the rich and famous stay at. And I’ll be the only one with pictures of it before it was built. Cool, huh?Roberto: Uh … you are too much. Hey, let’s ask this guy what your “famous” building’s going to be. (to passing construction worker ) Excuse us, can you tell us what this is going to be when it’s finished? Maybe a fancy hotel or something?Construction worker: Fancy hotel? (laughs ) No, this isn’t going to be a hotel. It’s going to be a parking garage.Roberto: A parking garage. Uh … huh. Thanks.Takeshi: Well … maybe … someone rich and famous will park here.Video Track 4-1-6Takeshi: Man, look at that! In New York there’s always something being built. And everything goes up so quickly … you never know what’s going to be around next week.Roberto: Yeah, but on the other hand, sometimes I wonder about overcrowding.

Thanks.Takeshi: Well … maybe … someone rich and famous will park here.Audio Track 4-1-21Takeshi and Roberto walked by a construction site and started talking about all the buildings that were being built in New York. Takeshi then talked about how much he admired the skyscrapers. Suddenly, Takeshi started taking pictures of the site, but Roberto couldn’t understand why because nothing had been built yet. Takeshi explained that he thought something famous might be there someday, like a fancy hotel where the rich and famous would stay, and he wanted to be the only one with pictures of it before it was built. But later, Takeshi felt very embarrassed when Robertoasked one of the construction workers what was being built on the site — and Takeshi learned it was to be a parking garage!Unit 2 Technology TodayListeningAudio Track 4-2-1/Audio Track 4-2-2Situation 1Man: Oh no!Woman: What happened?Man: I can’t believe it!

That’s nice.Woman: Yes, the company bought me a new one.Man: That’s good.Woman: Well, actually … I spilled coffee on my old keyboard, and it stopped workin g.Man: Oh, I see.Woman: Don’t tell anyone. Drinking coffee near the computers is not allowed!Situation 3Woman: Have you finished working on my computer?Man: Yes, I have. I’m afraid I don’t have good news for you.Woman: Really?Man: Really. The problem is with your hardware.Woman: Oh. What do you suggest?Man: I think you should probably buy a new computer. This one can’t be fixed.Woman: Well, I have had it for five years. It’s time to replace it, I guess.Audio Track 4-2-3/Audio Track 4-2-4Conversation 1Pam: Well, Lynn, I must be going. It was great to see you —Lynn: Bye, Pam.Pam: What’s that?Lynn: Oh … that’s Ollie.Pam: Ollie? I didn’t know you had a dog!Lynn: Well, we don’t … really.Pam: What do you mean?Lynn: Come here.Pam: Oh my goodn ess. It’s a robot!Lynn: That’s right. It’s a dog robot. They call it a “dogbot.”Pam: How interesting! … But it’s a little strange, don’t you think?Lynn: Well, I wanted to get an interactive toy for the kids. They love it. So I’m happy.Pam: How much did it cost?Lynn: Don’t ask. It wasn’t very affordable. It’s cheaper than having a real dog, though. We don’t ever have to buy dog food! And the batteries are rechargeable.Conversation 2Juliana: Hey, Henrik. Look.Henrik: What is it, Juliana?Juliana: What’s that guy doing over there?Henrik: Which guy?Juliana: The one over there. Wearing a suit. He’s punching so many buttons on his cell phone. Henrik: Oh, him. He’s probably playing a game.Juliana: Really?Henrik: A lot of people have games on their cell phones. It’s really popular here in Finland. They play them everywhere.Juliana: Do you play them, too?Henrik: Yes, I do.Audio Track 4-2-5/Audio Track 4-2-6In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users —and with other appliances! Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” toaster. It remembers your favorite kind of toast: light or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee maker and a “smart” clock. The coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your house, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you, “Your coffee maker needs more water.”And that’s only the beginning. One company is now advertising “Save time —phone your washing machine!” Engineers are making a “smart” house. In this house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” appliances. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the Internet, but people didn’t want it, because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,” says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.Audio Track 4-2-7/Audio Track 4-2-8The appetite for newer, smarter mobile technology is growing. Hungry consumers are no longer satisfied with making calls and sending text messages, and phone developers are taking notice. Your modern day smartphone is not just a communication device; it also offers a banquet of features such as a music player, gaming apps, Internet browser, electronic dictionary, camera, and video recorder.It’s hard to argue with the merits of having access to so much entertainment on the go. And it’s harder to argue with the convenience of having multiple entertainment and communication functions served up in a single device. However, some would argue that these phones are eating up too much of people’s time. It’s certainly food for thought. As phones become smarter they might indeed devour what’s left of our social and interpersonal skills. We’ll have to wait and see.Audio Track 4-2-9/Audio Track 4-2-10Local girl rescuedShe may have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive. Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robots” was tried for the first time.”We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It went extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, so me rescue robots can bring fresh air or water topeople who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?”“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”Audio Track 4-2-11/Audio Track 4-2-12An increasing number of companies and individuals are now opting to purchase virtual storage for their computer files and programs.Accessibility is generally cited as the single most persuasive factor when making the switch. Being virtual, Clouds can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection, and at any time. For those with slower Internet connections, sophisticated software accelerates upload and download times.Cost is always a mitigating factor when it comes to choosing which technology solution to adopt. And Clouds offer maximum flexibility when purchasing storage space. No longer do companies have to make long-term investments in expensive server equipment. They can purchase only the space they require now, with the knowledge that they can easily upgrade and expand at any point in the future.Apprehensions, about the security of data, have now been put at ease as globally recognized software firms are building in the necessary security solutions.Audio Track 4-2-131. I used to type my term papers on a typewriter.2. I didn’t u se to wear scarves.3. What kind of computer do you use?4. I used my brother’s cell phone.Audio Track 4-2-141. She used the phone in her office.2. He used to paint his own house.3. Do you use a computer?4. I didn’t use to eat meat.Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-2-15Lea: I hate writing term papers! It takes forever!Steve: You’re lucky, Lea. When I was young …Lea: Oh, I’ve heard this story before …Steve: Well, when I was young, we didn’t have computers. We used to write our papers on typewriters.Lea: Oh, really? That sounds difficult!Steve: It was, especially because I made a lot of mistakes.Lea: Did it take a long time?Steve: Yes. Computers are so much faster and easier to use.Audio Track 4-2-16Conversation 1A: I think television has improved our lives because we get to see news from around the world as it happens.B: Really?A: Yes! In the past people used to wait for days or weeks to read about overseas events, but now we can watch live news reports on television.B: But don’t you think people spend too much time watching television?A: Perhaps. However, I still maintain that some television programs, such as news and documentaries, can be educational and of benefit to people.Conversation 2A: I think cars have improved our lives because we can get from one place to another so much more quickly.B: No way! Cars are a major cause of pollution.A: Dear me! I hadn’t considered that.Audio Track 4-2-17The most fun product has to be the cell phone. I use my cell phone all the time. Actually it almost never leaves my hand. It’s a good thing that it’s thin, light and portable. I love that I can do all sorts of things with it. It’s so much more than just a cell phone. I take photos with it; I use it to listen to music, and sometime s I watch movies. It’s really handy for passing the time while I’m commuting. The only negative is that the battery doesn’t last long. It hardly lasts a day before it needs to be recharged. I should add that my phone is very practical, too. I use it to communicate with my friends and family. I can’t make long distance calls to my parents as it’s too expensive, but with my cell phone I can send text messages quite cheaply.Video Course。

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows. Human beings are connected with nature by "blood" ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed. Professor Spirkin holdsthat the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.My Understanding of Environmental Protection Man and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct. We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.U21. 1) monitor2) phenomenon3) isolation4) gradual5) opponent6) advent7) genetic8) consciously9) extreme10) nasty11) boom12) formal13) soar14) survey15) Similarly16) modify17) rough2. 1) at the same time2) are stuck with3) for certain4) make no difference5) on average6) when it comes to7) depends on8) built into9) come to mind10) at workIncreasing Your Word Power 1.

With the development of scienc e and technology, people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between pe ople’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, they are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feelthey’l l be. What is important is that material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness, too.Theme-related WritingSample Essay:The Impact of the Mobile Phone on People’s livesAmong the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Mostof us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages.

Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrivein the gymnasium for her physical education class. Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don't remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn't escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn't move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the ion. It was extremely well.”robot gave us reliable informat The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan's exact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations.A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn't hurt a robot.”Although it didn't happen in Morgan's case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that saved my life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it's a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products and make money.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company(“no-ad” stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising”happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best” or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It's much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends' opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it'st'doesncompany a And free). s 'itall, (after cost-effectivehave to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouthadvertising:never You at about your company any time. talk prepared Be toknow who you will meet. Always carry business cards.t say Only say positive things about your company. Don'negative things about your company. Help other companies by referringpeople to them. The moreyou help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising”happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’thave to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising: Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

This (S1) owner of the establishmentis giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If youever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3) drop everything and run for the hills! He’s theb iggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5) uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running throughtown (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) l ives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by severaltownspeople 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 ba rkeep 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 bigman a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer inone gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you wantanother 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! Don’t you hearBig 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 order to 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 positivepole, 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 capacityto learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such asscratching 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 astrong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-termthan the animals’ goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1. Why does the speaker menti on “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. B 4.D 5.AIV.

Ifthey talk to the shop, maybe they will give you a refund.B: Sounds too good to be true.V. Let’s TalkScriptHello, everyone. 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 knownthat antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’spersonality and how one has learned to cope with externalenvironmental 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 experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Depression-causing Factors Problem Description SolutionHeredity It is inherited and run in families.Physiology changes or imbalances in chemicals called neurotransmitters, which transmit information in the brain Antidepressant drugs relieve certain symptoms of depression.

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”. Emotionalreactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, theycould 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. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, orfeeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands anall-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based“purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on amixture of both.1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3. What does the speaker mean by “cold “?4. According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps. Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes!Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax andstop worryin g all the time. What’s yourproblem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored. Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound t o getbetter grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored. Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry aboutpassing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me,everything will soon be OK. Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides toeverything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring theninto full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed.Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have twochoices: 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 moreproductive 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 toadmit you’re angry or hurt, or ifyou 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 closefriend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, 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?” Thro ugh 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 firstpassengers last week at the Six FlagsMagic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to aheight 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 diveand 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 andthe 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, theelement 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 and21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of theirlives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about2minutes,but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes ofheir lives.Uint2II.

The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate histhoughts to the audience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1.

Welcome to our weekly sports programaimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands!Listen to what our two guests have to say about their hobbies andhow their hobbies have made a difference to their lives. Adriennefirst, then, Jonathan.Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling.Whenever I travel somewhere, I like to pick up something to remindme of the place that I visited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pickup a small piece of jewelry instead of getting a poster or a T-shirtthat won’t last. I like the idea of having something small and also, Ifind whenever I wear jewelry from somew here, it’s a goodconversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Where did you getthis?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet and talkto people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balanceand strong arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble istransporting your canoe to the right places—my father takes it onthe roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on the roof of the club’sLand Rover. What it has taught me most is to be independent. It'sjust you and the canoe against the wind, the weather and the water.It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really exciting aslong as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feelclose to nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began torun my own canoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particularcareer.Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer. Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan?Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film. Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, theright accents. Don't you think so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking.Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take mea week to read the book.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.s poil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

After the wedding, there is a big party—a wedding reception. All the guests eat dinner. There is a band and, after dinner, everyone dances. Sally's mother and father pay for everything. At the end of the reception, Sally andher new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house. After moving in, they invite their friends and family to a party—a housewarming party. Everybody comes to see the new house. They look at the bedrooms, the dining room, even the garage. Pete and Rose serve drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. The party is on a Saturday afternoon.It is Christmas time. Ted and Sarah Robinson want to see many of their friends over the holiday. So they invite their friends to an open house. The hours of the party are from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The guests arrive and leave whenever they want. The Robinsons serve sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Some guests stay for just 20 minutes, others stay for 3 hours. About fifty people come to the open house.Mr. and Mrs. Todd ask their neighbors to come to an evening party.

And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30. Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK fora beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me giveyou a schedule.Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class? Receptionist: You pay a ￡1 entrance fee and then the classes are ￡2.50 each and ￡3.50 for the jazz dancing. It's there on the sheet. Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two weeks. Receptionist: Oh, right.

Woman: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun! Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive. Woman: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britainwould be easier. No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we cantravel round Britain whenever we like. There's no point in wastingour summer holiday here.Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when wego abroad. I hate all that. And it's so confusing.Woman: Oh, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And what's more, I can't speak any of the languages—you know that.It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages. Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: But just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet! Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much. Woman: I'm sorry, Steve. No. I don't fancy another cold English summer. Questions:1. Where does the man want to spend the summer holiday?2. According to Steve, what is considered important in planning vacation?3. What does Steve find confusing about traveling abroad?4. What will help Juliet in her work?5. What does Juliet think of summer in Britain?Keys:1. C2. B3. D4. C5. BListening 3The game of football may have started in Roman times. It seems that theRomans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible?Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have first started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the English began to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until 1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5. CListening 4In one town, there were three longtime friends, Pat, Mike and Bob. Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hardas you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says, "OK, if you can really grant wishes, then double my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." Suddenly, the guy starts to recite flawless Shakespeare followed by a short pause and an extremely insightful analysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, "Hey, triple my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done." The guy begins pouring out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have puzzled scientists in all fields.The last guy is so impressed by the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my IQ." The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."The guy says, "No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free." "Please," says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking... It'll change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?"But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, "Done." And he becomes a woman.Keys: 1. F 2. F 3. F 4. T 5.

We both know that many communication specialists believe that gender bias exists in language, culture and society. Do you think this is really so? Dr. Herring: Yes, I certainly do. How we talk and listen can be strongly influenced by cultural expectations, and these begin duringchildhood. Children usually play together with other childrenof the same gender, and this is where our conversational styleis learned.Bob White: Can you give some specific examples?Dr. Herring: Certainly. We find that girls use language mainly to develop closeness or intimacy as a basis for friendship. Boys, on thecontrary, use language mainly to earn status in their group.Bob White: But, in communication through electronic devices like e-mail discussion groups, there should be no gender distinction ifwriters' names are not used in the messages.Dr. Herring: One might think so, but in fact, email writing style is more comparable with spoken language, so basic language stylesare still evident.Bob White: I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral!Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because ofdifferent communication and language styles between thesexes.Bob White: How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts to back up this impression?Dr. Herring: Yes. I've done a research project using randomly selected e-mail messages from online discussion groups. I found thatfemales use language that is more collaborative andsupportive such as "Thanks for all your tips on...", "Goodpoint." and "Hope this helps!". Men tend to use moreaggressive or competitive language such as "Do youunderstand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd tothink...".Bob White: How great are these gender differences?Dr. Herring: Males write messages using aggressive, competitive language more than twice as often as females did, while females usecollaborative and supportive language three times as often asmales did. In this study, it is clear that there is a genderdifference in e-mail messages just as in other communicationmedia.Bob White: So the "battle of the sexes" is still with us, even online. Questions:1. According to Dr. Herring, when is children’s conversational style learned?2. Which of the following is most similar to e-mail writing in style?3. Why is there still no equality on the Internet?4. What comparison did Dr. Herring make in her speech?Keys: 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B2.1. language, culture, society, cultural expectations2.2 closeness intimacy, earn status2.3 collaborative supportive, aggressive competitivePart 1 listening threeJohn: Cathy, do you think it's appropriate for females to continuously expect guys to behave in a standard gentlemanly fashion like opening cardoors?Cathy: W ell, I think it would be nice if men could do such things.John: My side of the theory is that we all have to admit that we are living in the world of change. Right? Sometimes the equation changes if the driver is a girl and the passenger is a guy who doesn't drive. So what happens? Should the girl open the door for the guy or should the guy open the door for the girl? Maybe we should just adopt an "open your own door" policy.Cathy: Yes, I agree, John. But...sometimes it's just a matter of courtesy. It doesn't matter who opens the door for whom. Maybe females just should not expect too much. Life isn't a fairy tale after all.John: It's absolutely true. Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth. Rather what I meant was except for the physical and natural differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them.Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull out a chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, asmany guys don't do it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of meand went through the door first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold thedoor and not let it slam in my face.John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it for。

Morg an Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There w as a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human being s are not as useful as robots in some situations.A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that saved my life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You haveto advertise, sell products and make money.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company (“no-ad”stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising:Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know学海无涯who you will meet. Always carry business cards.• Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.• Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

Mary: Hmm, you’ve got the nerve talking like that! Who shouldn’t fly off the handle?This dress cost a fortune.John:You look really cute when you’re mad. I kid you not. Some people do look attractive when they are in a rage.Mary: This is very expensive dress. I saved for months to buy it, and now it’s ruined.Look at this stain!John: Accidents do happen. Give me your dress, and I’ll take it to the cleaners. Mary: Sure! You want me to take it off right here in public and give it to you? I don’t even know you!John: This might be a really goof time to get acquainted. I’m John Owen.Mary: Mmm, at least you’re polite. I guess I really shouldn’t have flared up.

You’re a real gentleman.John: You’d better believe it. I’m glad to see that you’ve cooled down. Feel look a bite to eat afterward? I’m starving.Mary: Ok. You’re pretty good. I’m not nearly as mad. If you can get this stain out, I’ll be very happy.John: I’ll try my best. But if I can’t get the stain out, please don’t let your happiness turn to wrath.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the dialog?2.Why does the woman get angry?3.What does the man say to please the woman when she looks angry?4.Why does the woman say the man is a real gentleman?5.What is the man’s final proposal?Keys: 1D 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.CTask 2: Big John is coming!ScriptA bar owner in the Old West has just hired a timid bartender. 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! Don’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 order to 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. B 4.D 5.AIII. 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.6.When the stylist mentions $60, what does the customer say?7.What does the stylist think about the customer’s hairstyle?8.What will the stylist do with the customer’s hair?9.What will streaking do to the man’s hair according to the stylist?10.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 theface, 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.6.What is true of men and women’s use of fat injections?7.While of the following is true of nose jobs?8.How much greater is the percentage of women choosing cosmetic surgery to lookyounger than the percentage of men?9.What is true of men and women using botox in the previous year?10.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1C 2.C3. B 4.B 5.DIII. Listening InTask 1: Soft answers turn away wrath.Son:Hi, mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?Mom: I haven’t started yet. Why, have you any requires?Son:How about tsunami for a change—I don’t know what is, but I heard some Japanese people using the word on the bus the other day. Sounds like a food.Maybe it’s similar to sushi.Mom: Nonsense. Tsunami comes from Japanese words meaning harbor and wave. If we had a tsunami, it would be the other way around, young man.Son: Why? What is it?Mom:I mean it may swallow you up. A tsunami is an enormous series of very powerful waves.Son: Could you surf on them? That could be cool.Mom: They’re not cool. They are very destructive. When they pound the shore of populated areas, they cause tremendous damage. They destroy everything in their path.Son:What causes them?Mom: I think they are caused by some sort of shock, like an earthquake, volcano, or landside that starts a chain reaction in the ocean.Son: Do the waves get to big that they crush buildings?Mom: Easily. They can be dozens of meters high. They toss cars and houses around as though they were children’s toys.Son: Can you see them coming?Mom: You can see them at quite a distance. But there’s not much you can do. In the open ocean they move at up to 800km per hour, but when it reaches the shore, the system slows down and the waves get bigger.Son:How big?Mom: They can reach 30 meters. Big enough to finish you off in one gulp.11.What the son think a tsunami is?12.What does Mom imply by saying, “If we had a tsunami, it would be the other wayaround”?13.What does the son think surfing on tsunami waves would be like?14.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the cause of a tsunami?15.How high can tsunami waves reach?Keys: 1B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.CFor Reference1. In the open ocean they move at up to 800km per hour, but when it reaches the shore,the system slows down and the waves get bigger.2. They can reach 30 meters. Big enough to finish you off in one gulp.Task 2: Flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic ScriptThe death too continues to (S1)climb from last week’s flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The U.S. Agency for International Development (S2)reports that at least1,068 people are dead, 1,600 are (S3) missing, and 25,000 are in need of emergency food and other forms of (S4)assistance. In Dominican Republic, 414 are dead and 274 are missing, all from the town of Jimani.A key(S5) factor in the widespread destruction is the extensive deforestation and the (S6) presence of settlements along the floodplains of rivers.The flooding was driven by intense rainfall. A low-pressure system (S7) originating in Central America brought exceptionally heavy rain and thunderstorms to Haiti and the Dominican Republic from May 18 t o25. (S8) Rainfall exceeded 500 mm (or 19.7 inches) along the border areas of Haiti and the Dominican Republic during that period. At the town of Jimani, Dominican Republic, 250mm (or 10 inches) of rain fell in just 24 hours, causing the Solie River to overflow its banks from May24 to 25.The heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding and extensive debris flowed over the entire region. Swollen rivers and debris cut off many of the roads traversing the area along the base of the mountains. (S9) This made it difficult for humanitarian relief worker to rescue stranded people and deliver badly. Now people want to know: How often do floods and related landmass movement also caused landsides in a few places.(S10)Analysis of the past date shows that major floods in the Dominican Republic and Haiti are now a near-annual event. Since 1986, twelve lethal events have occurred on the island.Task3: A BlizzardScriptA blizzard is a sever weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds, greater than 15 miles per hour, bearing a great amount of snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many different definitions of what a blizzard truly is. But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weather must meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running. Include snow or ice as precipitation, and have wind speed of at least 32 miles per hour, which means Force 7 or more on the Wind Scale.Another standard, according to Environment Canada, is that the winter storm must have winds of 40 kilometers per hour or mi=ore, plenty of snow, visibility less than 1 kilometer, a temperature of less than -25 degrees Celsius, and all of these conditions must last for 4 hours or more, before the storm can properly be called a blizzard. When all these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred t o as a ground blizzard.An extensive form of blizzard is a whiteout, when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, become so sever that it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzard can also occur along with arctic cyclones.11.What is the passage mainly about?12.Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the first standard?13.Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the second standard?14.What is a ground blizzard?5. Which of the following is in the order of increasing force?Keys: 1A 2.B3. C 4.D 5.CFor ReferenceThey can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction.III. Listening InTask 1: You’re fired!Joan: Come in, come in. Have a seat. Ah…uh…I want you to know this is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you.Carl: Yes, ma’am. But I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about.Joan: You’re fired. That’s what I’m talking about.Carl: I find that surprising, Miss Jackson. After all, I sold twenty-five percent more of our products than any other salesperson.Joan: Look, I’m not here to argue. You’re fired. Understand?Carl: I understand perfectly. I just wonder what’s going to happen to the contract I’ve been arranging. It would be a shame to lose it; it could mean a lot of our company. And I’m the only one who knows the details.Joan: No one is indispensable. Just clear out your desk, and that’s the end of it. Do I make myself clear, Mr. Westlake?Carl: Crystal clear—apart from one small detail.Joan: And what, pray tell, is that detail?Carl: I’m not Mr. Westlake. I’m Carl Smith.Joan: Well then, that’s a different kettle of fish, Mr. Smith. I know you’ve bee n working late almost every night and coming in on Saturdays to get work done.The company is very happy with your progress.Carl: That’s good to know. I was beginning to think that I wasn’t appreciated. Joan: You’re doing well. We have approved your first salary increase.Carl: That’s great! Thank you! I’ll certainly try to live up to the trust you have demonstrated in me with this raise in pay.16.Why is the man surprised at the being fired?17.What is the second reason mentioned of the man to object to his being fired?18.What mistake did the woman make?19.What do you know about the man’s work performance?20.What does the man finally get?Keys: 1C 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.AFor Reference1.I want you to know this is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you.2. That’s great! Thank you! I’ll certainly try to live up to the trust you havedemonstrated in me with this raise in pay.Task 2: SOHOScriptThe modern concept of small office and home office, or small and home office, often (S1)shorted to SOHO, is concerned with business that employ from one to ten workers. Also (S2) known as a virtual business, the SOHO has not evolved beyond the idea of an (S3) independent business person who has a few support stall members. Business (S4)enterprises that are large are often called Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Before the19th century and the (S5)spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, (S6) nearly all offices were small offices or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and (S7) so was the amount of paperwork that went with their business activities.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term “Small or Home Office” and (S8) the acronym SOHO have been used t to great extent by companies that sell products to large number of small business with a small-sized office.Some products are often designed specifically for the SOHO market. (S9) Many books are written and sold specifically for this type of office to tell people how to equip a small office.Nowadays many consultants, lawyers, and real estate agents in small and medium- sized towns operate from such home offices.(S10) In the field of software development, engineers often have to work 20 hours or more at a stretch, so they can hardly adapt to normal office hours. They often work in small offices to have more freedom.Task3: The Role of Job DescriptionsScriptPeople who don’t understand what their employers expect them to do may be headed for one of the most common and yet most avoidable career traps. If your boss doesn’t take the time to explain properly what you are expected to do in your position. Then keep asking questions until you know precisely what it is. Don’t limit your questions to matter of everyday routine. Lee Colby, a management consultant based in Minneapolis, offers his advice. He says you can ask more significant questions like, “What are our departmwnt’s goals? How does my work fit in with the overall objective of the company?”That method helped Lisa James, an assistant manager at an electronics company. When James was transferred to a new department seven years ago, she found herself not only working for the manager of quality control, but assisting three other managers. Because the job was both demanding and ill-defined, James had to put in ten-hour days as well as take work home. To clarify what was expected of her and what she hoped to get from her job in terms of career department, she drafted a list of goals in collaboration with her principal boss. The list proved so well though out that her boss used it as the basis for her annual performance reviews. Shortly afterwards, she was given a raise for her efficient work.If your boss is vague about what your goals should be, try this technique suggested by Atkin Simon, director of a Boston-based management-consulting firm: Read your position description, which most large firms provide, and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.15.If your boss does not describe your job responsibility clearly, what can you do?16.What kind of questions can you ask about your job?17.When James was transferred to a new department, how many managers did shehave to work for?18.With whom did James draft a list of goals?5. How was her list of goals received?Keys: 1B 2.D3. D 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceRead your position description and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.III. Listening InTask 1: How to Avoid BankruptcyManager: Adam! Have you any suggestions about how we can avoid bankruptcy? Adam:Downsizing would certainly reduce our operating costs. You know, make us lean and mean, the way you have to be in today’s market.Manager: Where do you suggest we start making these staff cuts?Adam:The logical place to start would be in administration. They usually overstaffed.Manager: That’s not going to go over very well with our employees. Some of them have been with the company for years.Adam:It’s painful process, but there’s no choice. They’ll just have to get used to the idea.Manager: We can give them a fairly decent severance package when they’re fired. Adam:I know. And I think that if we computerize the office, we could reduce office staff by about 20 percent just by eliminating a lot of paperwork. Manager: OK. If we lay off 20 percent of the administrative staff, will that be enough to get the company back on its feet?Adam:Unfortunately not. We’ll also need to make some cuts in the service department.Manager: How can we do that and maintain the level of service that we offer our passengers?Adam: Well, we’ll have to retrain the service staff and streamline our operations, so we won’t need as many people to run things smoothly.Manager: Well, this is serious, but I really don’t think we have any other choice. If we keep losing money like this, we’ll have to shut everything down.21.What is the dialog mainly concerned with?22.What does the man mean by “make us lean and mean”?23.What is the difficulty in cutting the administrative staff?24.What will happen as a result of firing the administrators?25.What does the man think will happen after they cut 20 percent of theadministrators?Keys: 1B 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.CFor Reference1. He suggests retaining the service staff and streaming their operations, so they won’tneed as many people to run things smoothly.2. That is a serious step, but she thinks they haven’t any other choice. If they keeplosing money, they will have to shut everything down.Task 2: A Hard-nosed BossScriptMr. Stone was known far and wide as a hard-nosed boss who (S1)watched his employees like a hawk. He was making one of his regular tours of the factory (S2) when he spotted a young man leaning against a (S3)pile of boxes just outside the foreman’s office. Since George, the foreman, wasn’t around. Stone stood off to the side and watched to see just how ling the young men would stand (S4) around doing nothing.The young man yawned, scratched his head, looked at his watch, and sat on the floor. After ten minutes or so he yawned again and (S5) leaned back on the pile of boxes. Stone stepped from his (S6) hiding place and walked up to the young man. “You!” he yelled, “How much do you make a week?”The young man looked up (S7) indifferently. “Two hundred and fifty dollars,”He said.(S8) Stone rushed into the cashier’s office, took$250 from the cash box, and returned. “Take it,” he said, “and get out! Don’t let me see you around here again!”The young man took the cash, put it in his pocket, and left. (S9) Seeing the young man showed no sign of embarrassment, Stone got furious. Then he went looking for George. When he found him, Stone was red with anger. “That lazy boy in front of your office,”Stone said, “I just gave him a week’s pay and fired him. What’s the matter with you, letting him stand around as though he has nothing to do?”“You mean the kid in the red shirt?” George asked.“Yes! The kid in the red shirt!”George said, “(S10)He was waiting for the 20 dollars we owe him for lunch. He works for the coffee shop around the corner.”Task3: Layoffs can be predicted.ScriptIn some cases companies inform their employees in advance that layoffs are coming. In other cases, they come without warning: You arrive on time for work on a Friday, but you are told not to come next week. Ouch!In either case, you may be able to sense some bad signs in advance. Maybe the company has tried very hard to avoid layoffs; maybe it has been preparing for the worst for quite some time. If you think about the bad omens carefully, you might know as much or more than some of the employees in managerial positions with management responsibilities.For example, if you work in sales, you might know that quotas have not been met. If you work in field engineering, you might notice far fewer customer installations. If your company’s competitors, suppliers or customers are laying off employees, it’s likely your company will too, especially if economic conditions are affecting your industry. Check the layoff statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Search the Net and your local newspaper too for articles concerning layoffs in your industry. Do things like bad sales always mean that layoffs are coming to your company? Not necessarily. Companies have seasonal and economic sales dips all the time, and are always looking for ways to improve their performance. So, if you see only one or two bad signs, don’t jump to a hasty conclusion. But if you see more, especially along the lines of earnings warnings, budget cuts, hiring freezes, restructuring, and massive layoffs in your industry, it might just be time to get your resume up to date and start looking for a new job. Also, it might e a good idea to cancel your vacation, implement money-saving measures, and become more useful on your job. You should prepare in advance if you think you might get the axe soon.19.What is the passage mainly about?20.According to the passage, when can one sense layoffs are coming?21.What is mentioned as a bad sign for the field engineering department?22.According to the passage, what do bad sales signal?5.
