Michael Dell:Michael Dell serves as Chairman and CEO of Dell Computer Corporation. He is the longest tenured CEO in the whole computer industry. By using his innovative direct-to-consumer marketing approach and by pioneering the industry’s first service and support programs—the build-to-order revolution, Dell Computer Corporation has successfully eliminated the middle-man and established itself as one of the top vendors of personal computers worldwide.Frederick SmithFrederick Smith is Chairman, President and CEO of Federal Express Corporation, or FedEx, a global provider of transportation, e-commerce and supply chain management services. But when he first came up with the idea of overnight delivery service, nobody seemed to be interested in it. And now with its just-in-time delivery system, Smith has made FedEx a multi-billion dollar industry. FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.B. Fred must stay competitive in the following aspects:1) the quality of service2) the breadth of the network3) the unique services needed4) the costPart 3 Michael Dell vs. Frederick Smith (2)A.Efficient information system can A great part of the economy will work on “supply chain” because1) take out all the unnecessary costs of transaction and processing and help find more applicable products or services;2) shrink the distance between the source of demand and the source of supply. 1) About 40% of businesses today are operated on a fast cycle basis, so you’ll have a world of choice;2) Almost everything can be presented to you on a computer and you cancustomize almost anything;3) You can have it delivered very rapidly.B. Question: What keeps you going and what have you left to accomplish? Michael:Motivation: The opportunity in the industry, in the business Ambitions1. To be a leader not only in client computing, but also in the enterprise and servers and storage.2. To do business not just in the United States but all over the world3. To add a lot of services that go along with the productsFrederickPositive attitude towards future:Being truly excited about the company’s futurePositive attitude towards work:Enjoy going to work every dayLove to competeLove to innovateLove to work with a lot of wonderful people and sit right in the middle of a lot of very exciting business trends.Part 4 More about the topicSummary:One of the most fundamental steps toward a successful business is the business plan. It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。

Unit 3Part ID. warmer/ green house effect/ sea levels/climate zonesAs 1998 ends and people look forward to the last year of the century, the World Almanac spoke with experts about what comes next. Almanac editorial director says the experts believe the next century will bring lots of changes.Warm, of course, that our climate is going to continue getting warmer. That’s the subject, by the way, of another new article on the 1999 World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly what causes it, and what steps to be taken to, perhaps to alleviate global warmings. I’ve seen recently that 1998 is going to go down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that’s going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting th coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched.E. Cyclone: North or south of equator/Typhoon:/Hurricane: Eastern PacificMajor ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.Part IIA. Outline1. A. weather pattern/global climateB. 1. twice a decade2. 12-18 monthsC. 1. warmer weather/2. wetter than usual/ drierD. the decline of windsII. 1. droughtsB. a cyclic weather pattern/ about twice a decade/ wetter/drier/ cold water away from South America’s west/ to expand eastwa rd toward the America’s / move eastward too/ the weatherarond the world/ droughts/ rains and flooding/ on the South American fishing industry/ tobecome depletive/ the strength of it/Satellite readings confirm that conditions are right for another El Nino, a cyclic weatherpattern that affects the global climate.El Nino’s normally show up about twice a decade and it lasts about 12 to 18 months,bringing warmer weather to parts of the earth. Some regions become wetter than usual,others drier. The El Nino, which began in 1991 has lingered through this year. Althoughseveral years might have been expected to pass before the next one, an American-Frenchsatellite observing the oceans has found a sign that El Nino may come back quicker thanexpected.These kinds of things still happen. This is Brig Jacker, an oceanographer of the US NavalResearch Laboratory in Mississippi.Every year is unpredictable. One year might be El Nino year, one year might not. GenerallyEl Nino’s come in four year cycles. But there’s nothing to say that you can’t have twoEl Nino years in a row.El Nino’s begin with the decline of winds pulling cold water away from South America’swest coast to around the equator. This allows warm water in the western Pacific Ocean toexpand eastward toward the America’s. At the same time, the clouds and rain over the warmwater move eastward too. Radar aboard the American-French satellite detected the hint thatsuch water movement began in early August and reached South America two months later. Itsaw a ripple called a “Calvin wave” moving slowly eastward. Such pulses sometimes give rise to El Nino conditions in the eastern equatorial Pacific.El Nino’s can change the weather around the world, but how much d epends on its strength. Astrong one in 1982 and 1983 has been linked to droughts in Australia and Indonesia, rainsand flooding in South America, and unseasonably in 1991 has caused trouble. It has beenassociated with devastating floods in the US southeast last year and in the US Midwest thisyear. El Nino’s are hard on the South American fishing industry. The warm waters preventnutrients rich cold water from rising to the surface, causing fish stocks to becomedepletive. Mr. Jacker said a new El Nino apparently would be mild but he is not betting onit yet.The US Naval oceanographer says predictions are difficult because the strength of El Ninodepends on how winds affect the Calvin wave that has moved across the Pacific.Part III Lick ObservatoryB. location: an hour’s drive/ summit/Origin of the name: a wealthy businessmanSize: one meter diameter/ secondTime: 1888Present function: research/ an educational toolC. way of observation: human eyes;in the cold/TV screenGains and losses: Romance/ the sky/ efficiency/ reality/ universeQuestions:Because lick Observatory is near “Silicon Valley”, a region of the states high-technology.Because Lick Observatory was built on his estate and he was buried at the base of thetelescope at this won request.By using the 19th century telescope, you have a feeling of romance with direct viewing withthe human eyes. By sing the modern devices, you lose that romance but gain the efficiency.That’s an exchange.It’s about an hour’s drive from the outskirts of San Jose, California, near the upperside of the state’s high-technology region known as Silicon Valley. As a visitor drives upthe narrow winding road past red flowers, and eucalyptus trees, one of the first twos eismographic stations in the world, it’s almost a surprise to glimpsethe largest dome ofLick Observatory’s eight telescopes. Overlooking the world of computer age manufacturingare telescopes from the turn of the century which help shape our understanding of theuniverse.The huge dome, housing Lick Observatory’s giant, one meter wide reflecting telescope, isone of the few instruments in motion this morning on Mount Hamilton. At the 1260-metersummit of Mount Hamilton is a small village of 55 permanent residents, some of themstudents in a one-room school house. But most at the research complex are visitingastronomers catching their first hours of sleep in an old dormitory after a night’s workat the telescopes. Reminton Stone, director of operations at Lick Observatory has worked atthe top of Mount Hamilton for three decades. Now a part of the University of California,Lick Observatory got its name from a welthy businessman who never studied astronomy as MR.Stone explains: “Andh e came to San Francisco, just before the gold rush and he made a hugeamount of money on real estate. When he died, he specified that some portion of his estateshould be used to build the largest and most powerful telescope yet made and which was a 36inch at that time. And at his own request he is buried at the base of thetelescope. Sothis s a memorial to himself.”The telescope with its ode-meter-diameter reflecting lens was the largest telescope in theworld for seven years following its c ompletion in 1888. and today, its’ still the secondlargest telescope of its kind. Although the one meter reflecting telescope is still usedfor some research, its hard to adapt today’s electronic instruments to the old historictelescope. Now, it is used mostly as an educational tool for teachers and the thousands ofvisitors who come each year. While the other telescopes at Lick Observatory are connectedto electronic imagine devices that allow the astronomers to view celestial objects ontelevision screens, the 19th century telescope allows direct viewing with the human eye. It’s one of the few giant telescopes in the world tht still requires some users to sit outin the cold under the dark sky and the dome. That brings a feeling of nostalgia to RemintonStone.I really do miss being able to see the sky, and seeing these wonderful data appear in thecomputer screen is really nice, but it’s very divorced from the reality, from theuniverse. I miss a lot being in a dark place in these fields to look up to see the stars.We go out every now and then if we are working at…, we’re at the control room, we do goout to keep track of the skies, where the clouds are, and so forth, but one loses theromance and one gains greatly the effic iency. It’s a trade-off.Astronomer Reminton Stone, who manages the Lick Observatory complex at the top of mountHamilton, California.Part IV. The national climatic DataCenter.OutlineI.

Another publication has monthly reports from 1500 observation stationsaround the world.The center had more than 900,000 requests from government officials, business owners,weather researchers and the general public last year.More and more people need to know about the weather. Anyone wanting information about pastweather conditions can turn to a center supported by the United States government.The National Climatic Data Center reportedly has the world’s largest active collection ofweather information. The National Climatic Data Center or NCDC was formed in 1951. it wasestablished as a record center for America’s Department of Commerce. Its headquarters isin the southern city of Asheville, North Carolina.The NCDC collects weather records gathered by a number of weather observers and the UntiedStates government agencies. The Department of Defense, the National Weather Service and thecoastguard are among those providing weather information. The center also collects weatherrecords from around the world. Some information held by the NCDC is only a few hours old.Other records are a lot older. For example, the office has written weather observationsmade by early American diplomat Benjamin Franklin and by the third President of the UnitedStates Thomas Jefferson.Today modern scientific equipment including satellites, radar and solar radiation systemshelp people learn about the weather. Information collected by airplanesand ships also isused. The NCDC organizes this information and helps prepare it for publication and otheruses. The center assists in the production of written records, weather maps and pictures.The information also is shared by computer, microfilm and telephone. The NCDC producesseveral publications about earth environment. One has monthly and yearly records aboutweather conditions in about 270 American cities. Another publication has monthly reportsfrom 1500 observation stations around the world. It also has information from about 800pper air stations which measure weather conditions at all levels of the atmosphere. TheNational Climatic Data Center receives requests for information from all over the world.Last year the center reportedly had more than 900,000 requests from government officials,business owners, weather researchers and the general public.Part VDo you know…?Meaning: little girlTime: the western coast of South America / The Pacific coast of Peru and EcuadorTime: winter monthsDuration: one to two years.Evidence: the eastern Pacific oceanImpacts: those of EL Nino/ drier than normal and others wetter.Scientists say the weather event known as El Nino is ending. Scientific instruments haveshown that the Pacific Ocean waters warmed by El Nino are becoming cooler. Many weatherexperts are expecting the change in ocean temperatures to lead to conditions known as LaNina. El Nino means the little boy in the Spanish language, La Nina means the little girl.La Nina develops when winds near the western coast of South America strengthen. This causescold air to form near the Pacific coast of Peru and Ecuador. Unusually low watertemperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean are evidence of La Nina. Ocean surface temperatures there drop almost 4 degrees. La Nina is strongest during winter months in the northern part of the world. It usually lasts one to two years. La Nina’s effects can be just as severe as those of EL Nino.Recently weather experts met in Colorado to exchange their findings about La Nina. The National Center for Atmospheric Research organized the conference. The experts agreed that the colder Pacific Ocean waters might influence weather conditions around the world. La Nina could make some places drier than normal and others wetter. Some reports presented at the conference said Southeast Asia is likely to receive a lot of rain during the present la Nina, so could South America, Central America and Africa. The northwestern part of Canada and the United States could be wetter than normal. The studies found that the southern untied States could be warmer and drier and more severe storms are possible in the western Atlantic Ocean.。

Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end ofthe room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A:1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space.2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country.3.

He ... we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not lethim go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy, {right, right}. In other words we've got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look ... (That's right, it doesn't matter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card?—Because you know you can't rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you can't rent without, without using a credit card, you can't, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel ...—I think that what's underneath that is the society in which you're only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerized, (Yeah.) and can trace you, and everybody's insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and ... that side of credit I find rather upsetting.— It's kind of ugly, isn't it?— Like a lot of people ，it's a great facility, if you're disciplined with it.1.D2. D3. CDialogue 2 Card Insurances— I'll tell you about one awful experience that happened to me, erm, I took out, erm ... one of these card insurances that cover all your cards (Mm.) should your cards be stolen and I hadmy handbag snatched* in a store and immediately got the store security, who were very quick, got me into their office and we phoned all of the credit cards that I had on me, within ten minutes.— Which is what they tell you to do?—Yeah. When, I suppose by the time we’d got to all of them it about half an after the bag had been snatched. Got up to the top floor of the office, started ringing round, and the whole thing was done within half an hour. Erm, when the bag was snatched it went through apparently a chain of people, out of the store, and it went two miles away and they managed to ... three different people had spent over ￡2,000 on four of my cards ...—But you're only liable* for the first 50.—I wasn't liable for any of it. Because thank goodness I had this insurance.—None of it. Yeah.—But ...—Touch wood* quick. That was ...—.. They'd spent it within twenty minutes of stealing.—That's incredible, isn't it?—And the thing that absolutely horrified me was I was close to limits on two of the cards, the ones that I do clear every month (Mm – mm.) I was close to the limit I'm allowed on those, and they, both of those cards they went into banks, said they were me, and got (No!) well over what the top limit would have been.—Really! Well it just goes to show, you could walk into a bank and get more than you could possibly ever pay off*!—I couldn't probably, because I go in, and they say, "No, you've spent it all already?—Right, right.1. F2. F 3, F 4. T 5. T 6. T 7. F 8.TPassage 1 Credit CardsThe system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place.Cards can be presented at any place where the bank card sign is displayed, and that could be at a shop, a service station, a hotel, a restaurant or in fact at all kinds of businesses.The sales assistant imprints the card details onto a sales voucher* which the customer signs, and the card is then returned to the customer. Each month the bank sends the holder a credit card statement setting out where purchases were made and totalling what is owing. A payment has to be made within 25 days of the date of the statement, but not necessarily the full amount. If the customer pays in full within this time the use of the card does not cost anything, But if he decides to pay only the minimum repayment shown on the statement –￡5 or 5% of the outstanding* balance*, which- ever is the greater -- he automatically chooses to use the system's extended repayment facility. The remaining balance is then carried forward and attracts interest at the rate of 2.25% per month.Bank credit cards are more versatile than store credit accounts in that they also enable people to obtain cash .Any bank displaying the bank card sign will arrange a cash advance* for a card holder, whether or not be is one of their own customers. For money drawn in this waythe bank makes a charge at the rate of 2 25% a month calculated. cash advances appear on the monthly bank card statement.The bank credit card system operates entirely separately from cheque accounts but nevertheless it is a customer's previous relationship with his bank that is used as a guide to the amount of credit he will be extended. When a card is issued a personal credit limit is imposed indicating the maximum that can be owing at any one time. This is confidential* between customer and bank and does not appear on the card.Exercise A:The system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place. Bank credit cards can be presented at any place where the bank card sign is displayed and in fact at all kinds of businesses. Bank credit cards also enable people to obtain cash.Exercise B:1. A2. C3.

Demonstrators clashed with riot police in front of Congress after the chamber of deputies approved the measure. Brazilian media reports say at least 60 people were injured. Some demonstrators said the president had betrayed them by seeking approval of the measure in Congress. The measure is designed to cut retirement assistance, raise the retirement age of public workers and tax their retirement money. The government says the changes are necessary to save the government thousands of millions of dollars.Exercise A:This news item is about public workers' reaction to a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers.Exercise B:Thousands of public workers have begun to demonstrate violently against a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers Wednesday.

Fill in the blanks.Audioscript:1. IUCN -- International Union for the Conservation of Nature, is the organization established by the United Nations to promote the conservation of wildlife and habitats as part of the national policies of member states.2. CITES -- Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. is an international agreement under the auspices of the IUCN with the aim of regulating trade in endangered species of animals and plants. The agreement came into force in 1975 and by 1991 had been signed by 110 states. It prohibits any trade in a category of 8,000 highly endangered species and controls trade in a further 30,000 species.3. UNEP -- United Nations Environmental Program, aims to provide leadershi p and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring information and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.4. WWF -- World Wide Fund for Nature (formerly World Wildlife Fund), is an international organization established in 1961 to raise funds for conservation by public appeal. Projects include conservation of particular species, for example, the tiger and giant panda. With almost five million supporters distributed throughoutfive continents, WWF has a global network active in over 90 countries. Its headquarters are in Gland, Switzerland.Biological diversity provides us with a variety of special "ecosystem services", such as clean water, a breathable atmosphere and natural climate control. However, many kinds of wild animals have been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is negligible. Animals like the great apes, the whales, seals, and marine turtles are under particular pressure.C Listen to the conversation. Match column A, which is alist of the names of some endangered animals, with column B, which gives the information about those endangeredanimals. Then anwser the questions.Questions:1. What do people at the World Wildlife Fund work for according to the woman?They work to conserve natural areas that contain endangered wildlife.2. What are they doing in order to protect those endangered animals? They are campaigning to provide sea sanctuaries for some of these endangered species. Protected-nesting sites for turtles have been set up.3. Can you guess the meaning of "sea sanctuaries"?It refers to the places of safety in the sea where sea animals are protected and allowed to live freely.Audioscript:A: Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the World Wildlife Fund.B: The what?A: The World Wildlife Fund. If you've got a few minutes I'd like to tell you what that means.B: Oh, all right.A: We work to conserve natural areas that contain endangered wildlife. The seas, for example, have become polluted by the industrialized world; whales are being hunted to extinction;turtles are rolled off their eggs when they come ashore to breed or are slaughtered for their meat and oil...B: Oh.A: Crocodiles are killed to make handbags and shoes; walruses are hunted for their ivory.B: I see.A: Seals are bludgeoned to death to provide fur coats and the threat of extinction hangs over several species of whale, dolphin and porpoise.B: Really.A: We are now campaigning to provide sea sanctuaries for some of these endangered species.B: Very interesting.A: Aided by our campaign, protected nesting sites for turtles have already been set up. As you can see, this is very valuable work and I wonder therefore if you'd like to make a donation?Part II Christmas bird countsbe deemed：（被）认为，视为，断定fortunes ：命运critically：危急;严重perilous：危险的，冒险的at risk of ：有……危险imminent extinction：即将灭绝lose a species：丧失一个物种residents：居民maintaining：保持sustain：维持;支撑;忍受quality：质量sustaining the quality of lives ：维持生活质量John James Audubon ：约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦，1785年4月26日-1851年1月27日)，美国画家、博物学家，他绘制的鸟类图鉴被称作“美国国宝”illustrate：说明；描绘；画插图in their natural habitats：自然居住地conservationist：自然资源保护者，生态环境保护者feather：羽毛，翎毛manufacture：制造sponsored by ：赞助;发起the National Audubon Society：全国奥杜邦（鸟类保护）协会Bermuda：百慕大群岛（北大西洋西部群岛）Pacific islands：太平洋岛屿volunteer：志愿者bird count：鸟类的清点experienced：有经验的bird watcher：野鸟观察者，鸟类观察家diameter：直径observe：观察actually ：实际上，实质上，事实上，几乎longest-running：播放时间最长的census：人口普查，统计;人口财产调查ornithology：鸟类学;鸟学scheduled：排定，进度表logistics：组织工作ideal：理想；目标virtually：实际上，实质上，事实上，几乎identify ：识别，认出Panama：巴拿马esthetic value：审美价值indicator：指示器habitat alteration：栖息地变更signal：信号，暗号;预兆，征象degrade：降低，贬低;使降级degradation：退化;堕落;降级adversely：反对;不利地;有害地annual：每年Christmas bird counts：对诞（岛）数鸟decline：下降One in eight of the world's bird species is deemed globally threatened and the fortunes of 198 critically endangered species are now so perilous that they are at risk of imminent extinction.

While listening for the first time, add more key words in the notes column according to the following cues. While listening for the second time, supply the missing information.Event: Christmas bird countsTime: from Christmas to Jan. 3rdSponsored by: the National Audubon SocietyParticipants:Numbers:more than 40,000 volunteersBackground: from all 50 states of the U.S., every Canadianprovince, parts of Central and SouthAmerica', Bermuda, the West Indiesand Pacific islandsNumber of bird counts this year: more than 1 600 separate bird countsThe logistics of bird counts: Each individual count is in a 15 mile diameter circle around the exact center point.Origin of the National Audubon Society: It was named after an American artist John James Audubon, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society was founded in the late1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds.B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the report. Complete the summary of this year's Christmas bird counts.Christmas bird counts will start from Christmas to January 3rd., sponsored by the National Audubon Society. This year more than 40 000 volunteers from the U.S., Canada, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands will be outside counting birds. The counts are not only for experienced bird watchers but anyone that is interested or concerned as well.This year more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. Every individual count is in a 15 mile diameter circle around the exact center point. Bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on t he number of birds they actually see.The traditional Christmas bird count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.Audioscript:John James Audubon was an American artist in the early 1800s, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women's hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40 000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January3rd. Volunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count.Jeffrey LeBaron is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to Mr. LeBaron , more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple."Each individual count is in a circle. It's a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it's always the exactly same area that's done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day."Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced bird watchers."Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird."C Now listen to what Mr. Lebaron says about the information concerning birds. Complete the outline.OutlineI. Total number of known species -- about 9 300II. HabitatA. Larger numbers living in the warmer climatese.g. more than 300 different species counted in PanamaB. far fewer species native to colder climatesIII. ValueA. importance to the environment1. indicator of the quality of environment2. sensitive to habitat alterationB. esthetic value1. getting pleasure out of looking at birds andlistening to birds2. mental quality of life degraded without birds IV. Birds' populationA. some species -- decliningB. many types -- increasingAudioscript:Mr. LeBaron says there are about 9 300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it."Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans."National Audubon Society editor Jeffrey LeBaron calls the world's bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect. "People get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the er, the quality of life,um, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly."Jeffrey LeBaron says that while the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts show a decline in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part III Dolphin captivityin captivity：养在笼子（或池子，等）里；囚禁announcer：播音员thesis statements：文意，简述论文，论文主题Colorado Public Radio：科罗拉多州公共广播电台aquatic park：水上公园Denver：丹佛（美国科罗拉多州）ire：愤怒dolphin ：海豚instigate：教唆;煽动;激起a former navy dolphin trainer ：前海军海豚训练员Florida：佛罗里达州ranges：范围family-oriented：面向家庭的；群居的concrete tank：混凝土水箱，混凝土油罐，混凝土贮水池sonar：声呐装置bounce off：试探（某人对某一新设想和意见），大发议论ocean explorer：海洋探险家reject：拒绝;抛弃suicidal：自杀的，自杀性的;自我毁灭的，自取灭亡的;于己不利pool ：池子a very sophisticated brain：发达的大脑sophisticated：复杂的;精致的;富有经验的;深奥微妙的Portland：波特兰(俄勒冈州)Oregon.：俄勒冈州captive dolphins ：被捕的海豚Sarasota Bay：萨拉索塔湾（佛罗里达州）Florida：佛罗里达州the census data ：统计数据distribution：分配，分布debate：讨论;辩论;争论marine mammal：海洋哺乳动物organisms：有机体;生物operate：操作，运行metabolically：代谢的anti-educational：对抗教育，反教育，逆教育natural behavior ：自然行为alter：改变;更改stranded：处于困境的beach：海滩fractured ribs or jaws：头骨、肋骨、下颌骨骨折pros：同意，支持cons：反对We have learned a great deal by observing the animals kept in the zoo.

The other speakers are identified in the report.]A: A planned aquatic park in Denver is raising the ire of animal rights activists who object to a proposal to include a captivedolphin display. Although officials for Colorado's OceanJourneys say they have yet to make a final decision on the issue, local and national activists have already instigated a "NoDolphins in Denver" campaign. As Colorado Public Radio'sPeter Jones reports, the battle lines have been clearly drawn. P:Rick Troud, a former navy dolphin trainer based in Florida, is taking an active role in the "No Dolphins" campaign.R:Average age in the wild ranges anywhere in some of the studies between 30 and 40 years of age. In captivity, you can expect adolphin to live maybe 5.13 years, and every 7 years in captivity the dolphin population is dead.P:According to Troud, there are many reasons why dolphins can't live full lives in captivity.R:If you take a look at where the real dolphin is in the real ocean, you find the dolphin who swims 40 miles a day, is veryfamily-oriented. These animals are separated from theirmothers; that's a stress. You put them in a concrete tank where their sonar bounces off the walls, they can't swim in the sameamount of time and direction that they can in the wild.P:Environmentalist and ocean explorer, Jean Michel Cousteau:J: There are some animals which reject captivity right away, and they're very suicidal. I've had one of those in my own arms for many days. The next morning when I came to take care of him, he was dead. And what he'd done was to swim as fast as hecould from one end of the pool on ... to the other side anddestroyed his head by hitting the wall. They have a verysophisticated brain. I don't think we have any rights to playwith the lives of these animals.P:Cousteau's anti-captivity position is challenged by Dr. Deborah Duffield, a biology professor at Portland State College inOregon. Her 1990 study compared captive dolphins to the wild population of Sarasota Bay, Florida. Among other findings, the study showed little if any difference in the average age of death.And Duffield says life is generally getting better for captivedolphins.D: The census data say that every time I do a census, I've got older and older animals in it as well as this normal age distribution that we've been looking at. So my feeling is that the trend incaptivity has been that the group of animals that we'refollowing are getting older, and if they continue to do that over the next five years, they will then indeed be older than the wild population.P:There is also a debate over the educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivity. According to Duffield, captive dolphins play an important role in our basic understanding of the animals.D: I firmly believe that we cannot learn anything about organisms that we share this world with if we do not understand how they live in an environment, and what they do, and that watchingthem go by in the wild will not do it. I cannot tell what ananimal needs, unless I know how it operates, how it breeds,what it needs metabolically, and I can't learn that from animals in the wild.P:But Troud says the dolphin displays are anti-educational because the animals' natural behavior patterns are altered by captivity.R:In the wild, you don't have dolphins who beat each other to death.There are no dolphins that I've ever seen stranded on the beach, who are suffering from fractured skulls, fractured ribs orfractured jaws, as is the case in captivity.P:The Ocean Journey board will take all factors into consideration before making a final decision on whether to include dolphinsin the park.

As temperatures continue to rise, it's unclear whether all species will be able to adapt enough to survive, especially as other species in their ecosystems adapt by getting smaller or larger.A In the following report, you will learn some facts about the giant panda, an endangered species in China. Listen carefully and supply the missing information.There are roughly 1 600 pandas living in the wild, mainly in the mountain forests of western China. Bamboo is their staple food. And they eat up to 38 kg a day. But some species of the plant take many years to grow, which means they don't adapt to climate change. Scientists are now predicting that an increasing temperature of even 2°C will kill off the species the pandas need to survive. One of the study's authors is Professor Jack Lu of Michigan State University."Even by the middle of the century, this century, the impact will be very obvious. And by the end of the century, in many areas, 100 percent of this bamboo will be gone. And that's really a dramatic impact that people have not realized". Reducing global warming is the long-term solution and creating new panda habitats is another. It may also be possible to introduce new species of bamboo that are heat-resistant. But unfortunately, pandas are notoriously picky eaters and may reject even a slight change to their diet.

While listening for the first time, note down as many key words as you can inthe left-hand column. After the second listening, fill in thegaps in the summary in the right-hand column with the help of the notes.Audioscript:Although projections of global temperature rises show relatively small changes at the bottom of the oceans, the resulting impacts on fish body size are "unexpectedly large", according to this research. As ocean temperatures increase, so do the body temperatures and metabolic rates of the fish. This means they use more oxygen to stay alive and, according to the researchers, they have less avalilable for growth.They've calculated that up to 2050, fish will shrink in size by between 14 and 24 percent, with the Indian and Atlantic Oceans worst affected. The warming waters are also likely to drive fish more towards the poles, leading to smaller species living in areas like the North Sea.According to the scientists, their models may underestimate the potential impacts. When they looked at case studies involving North Atlantic cod and haddock, they found that recorded data on these fish showed greater decreases in actual body size than the models predicted.Part V Do you know ...?catalog：目录，目录册，目录簿inhabit v.：居住the planet：这个行星（地球）estimate：估计，预测;报价，exceeding：胜过in the form of parks：在公园的形式下wildlife refuge：野生动物保护区reserve：保护区，保存，储备aquatic animal：水生动物crayfish：淡水螯虾（肉）;龙虾mussel：贻贝，蚌类;淡菜In general, an endangered species is one that's in immediate danger of becoming extinct.

Pay special attention to the numbers.Audioscript:● Scientists hav e cataloged more than one and one-half million ofthe species that exist on Earth today. By some recent estimates, at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet.● Up to 100 species become extinct every day. Scientists estimatethat the total number of species lost each year may climb to40,000 by the year 2000, a rate far exceeding any in the last 65 million years.● Around the world more than 3 500 protected areas exist in theform of parks, wildlife refuges and other reserves. These areas cover a total of about 2 million square miles (5 million square km, or 3% of our total land area).● Today, more than 200 animal species in the United States areclassified as endangered.

Fill in the blanks.1. IUCN — International Union for the Conservation of Nature, is theorganization established by the United Nations to promote theconservation of wildlife and habitats as part of the national policiesof member states.2. CITES — Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, isan international agreement under the auspices of the IUCN with the aimof regulating trade in endangered species of animals and plants. Theagreement came into force 1975 and by 1991 had been signed by 110 states.It prohibits any trade in a category of 8 000 highly endangered speciesand controls trade in a further 30 000 species.3. UNEP —United Nations Environmental Program, aims to provideleadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment byinspiring information and enabling nations and people to improve theirquality of life without compromising that of future generations.4. WWF — World Wide Fund for Nature (formerly World Wildlife Fund), is an international organization established 1961 to raise funds for conservation by public appeal. Projects include conservation of particular species, for example, the tiger and giant panda. In 1990, it had 3.7 million members in 28 countries and an annual income of over 100 million. Its headquarters are in Gland, Switzerland.C Listen to the conversation. Match column A, which is a list of the names of some endangered animals, with column B, which gives the information about those endangered animals. Then answer the questions.A: Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the World Wildlife Fund.B: The what?A: The World Wildlife Fund. If you've got a few minutes I'd like to tell you what that means.B: Oh, all right.A: We work to conserve natural areas that contain endangered wildlife. The seas, for example, have become polluted by the industrialized world; whales are being hunted to extinction; turtles are rolled off their eggs when they come ashore to breed or are slaughtered for their meat and oil …B: Oh.A: Crocodiles are killed to make handbags and shoes; walruses are huntedfor their ivory.B: I see.A: Seals are bludgeoned to death to provide fur coats and the threat of extinction hangs over several species of whale, dolphin and porpoise.B: Really.A: We are now campaigning to provide sea sanctuaries for some of these endangered species.B: Very interesting.A: Aided by our campaign, protected nesting sites for turtles have already been set up. As you can see, this is very valuable work and I wonder therefore if you'd like to make a donation?Part Ⅱ Christmas bird countsA Listen to a news report. While listening for the first time, add more key words in the notes column according to the following cues. While listening for the second time, supply the information.John James Audubon was an American artist in the early 1800s, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women's hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40 000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January 3rd. Volunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count.Jeffrey LeBaron is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to Mr. LeBaron, more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple."Each individual count is in a circle. It's a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it's always the exactly same area that's done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day."Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced bird watchers."Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird."topB Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the report. Complete the summary of this year's Christmas bird counts.Christmas bird counts will start from Christmas to January 3rd.,sponsored by the National Audubon Society. This year more than 40 000volunteers from the U.S., Canada, parts of Central and South America,Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands will be outside countingBirds. The counts are not only for experienced bird watchers but anyone thatis interested or concerned as well.This year more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Somewould have a few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. Everyindividual count is in a 15 mile diameter circle around the exact centerpoint. Bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populationswithin the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see.The traditional Christmas bird count is the longest-running bird census inornithology.Part Ⅲ Dolphin captivityA The following words and phrase are used in the news interview. Listen to the words first. Study the definitions carefully.A: A planned aquatic park in Denver is raising the ire of animal rights activists who object to a proposal to include a captive dolphin display. Although officials for Colorado's Ocean Journeys say they have yet to make a final decision on the issue, local and national activists have already instigated a "No Dolphins in Denver' campaign. As Colorado Public Radio's Peter Jones reports, the battle lines have been clearly drawn.P: Rick Troud, a former navy dolphin trainer based in Florida, is taking an active role in the "No Dolphins" campaign.R: Average age in the wild ranges anywhere in some of the studies between 30 and 40 years of age. In captivity, you can expect a dolphin to live maybe 5.13 years, and every 7 years in captivity, the dolphin population is dead.P: According to Troud, there are many reasons why dolphins can't live full lives in captivity.R: If you take a look at where the real dolphin is in the real ocean, you find the dolphin who swims 40 miles a day, is very family-oriented. These animals are separated from their mothers; that's a stress. You put them in a concrete tank where their sonar bounces off of walls, they can't swim in the same amount of time and direction that they can in the wild.P: Environmentalist and ocean explorer, Jean Michel Cousteau:J: There are some animals which reject captivity right away, and they're very suicidal. I've had one of those in my own arms for many days. The next morning when I came to take care of him, he was dead. And what he'd done was to swim as fast as he could from one end of the pool on ... to the other side and destroyed his head by hitting the wall. They have a very sophisticated brain. I don't think we have any rights to play withthe lives of these animals.P: Cousteau's anti-captivity position is challenged by Dr. Deborah Duffield, a biology professor at Portland State College in Oregon. Her 1990 study compared captive dolphins to the wild population of Sarasota Bay, Florida. Among other findings, the study showed little if any difference in the average age of death. And Duffield says life is generally getting better for captive dolphins.D: The census data say that every time I do a census, I've got older and older animals in it as well as this normal age distribution that we've been looking at. So my feeling is that the trend in captivity has been that the group of animals that we're following are getting older, and if they continue to do that over the next five years, they will then indeed be older than the wild population.P: There is also a debate over the educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivity. According to Duffield, captive dolphins play an important role in our basic understanding of the animals.D: I firmly believe that we cannot learn anything about organisms that we share this world with if we do not understand how they live in an environment, and what they do, and that watching them go by in the wild will not do it. I cannot tell what an animal needs, unless I know how it operates, how it breeds, what it needs metabolically, and I can't learn that from animals in the wild.P: But Troud says the dolphin displays are anti-educational because the animals' natural behavior patterns are altered by captivity.R: In the wild, you don't have dolphins who beat each other to death. There are no dolphins that I've ever seen stranded on the beach, who aresuffering from fractured skulls, fractured ribs or fractured jaws, as is the case in captivity.P: The Ocean Journey board will take all factors into consideration before making a final decision on whether to include dolphins in the park. For Colorado Public Radio, I'm Peter Jones.Part Ⅳ More about the topic: Birds-A Source of WealthA Listen to what Mr. LeBaron says about the information concerning birds. Complete the outline.Mr. LeBaron says there are about 9 300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it."Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans."National Audubon Society editor Jeffrey LeBaron calls the world's bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect."People get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the er, the quality of life, um, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly."Jeffrey LeBaron says that while the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts show a decline in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part Ⅴ Do you know...?Listen to some facts about endangered species. Pay special attention to the numbers.• Scientists have cataloged more than one and one-half million of the species that exist on Earth today. By some recent estimates, at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet.• Up to 100 species become extinct every day.

Let’s…um…let’s go on out of here and …um…end up in the bathroom…Part II The dream houseTapescript:1. My dream house would be a canal boat. I’d like to wake up every morning and see the water. Erm, I’d paint it bright red, and it would have a little roof-garden for all my pot-plants.2. My ideal house would be modern, ermm, it would be made of brick s, and it would have white pillars outside the front door, and it would be detached… oh yes, it would have a garage.3. My ideal home would be to live in a cottage in a small village by the sea. Er, somewhere like Cornwall, so it’s unspoilt and there are cliffs and trees around.4. I think if I could have any sort of house, I’d like one of those white-walled villas in Spain. (It’d) Be marvelous to be able to just fall out of bed and into the sea first thing in the morning. (It’d) Be absolutely great. All that heat. Marvelous.5. I’ve always wanted to live in a really big house in the country, a big family house with, erm… at least two hundred years old, I think, with a big garden, and best of all I’d like to have a dry-stone wall around the garden. I’ve always loved dry-stone.6. D’you know, I may sound daft but what I’ve always wanted to do is live somewhere totally isolated, preferably somewhere enormous like a castle or something, you know, right out in…by the sea or even sort off in a little island, on an island, on an island, you know, out a sea, where you have to get there b y a boat or something, where it’s cut off at high tide. I think it’d be really great. Questions:1. According to the first speaker, in what color would her dream house be painted?2. Where would she put all her pot-plants?3. in the second speaker’s opinion, what would there be outside the front door of his ideal house?4. What would there be around the third speaker’s ideal home?5. When the fourth speaker got up in the morning, what would he do first?6. What is Spain famous for?7. According to the fifth speaker, what would she like to have around the garden of her dream house?8. How should one get to the last speaker’s ideal house?Part III Flat huntingA.Things that will be taken away: fridge, washing machineThings that will be left Behind:gas cooker/stove, gas fire, plumbing, electric shower, ovenB. 1. a bed1. a fitted cupboard, some shelves2. a wash basin, a double fitted cupboard, a double bed3.an airing cupboard, an electric showerF F T F TTapescript:Wendy Stott: Oh hello. (Hello.) My name’s Wendy Stott. Did the estate agent ring you and tell you I was coming?House owner: Oh yes, yes I was expecting you. Do come in. (Thank you.) Have you, you know, all the details?Wendy Stott: Oh yes. Yes I have, and I was rather interested; that was why I came round this afternoon. You seem to have decorated quite recently...House owner: Yes. Oh, yes, it was decorated last year. Now this is the… this is the kitchen.Wendy Stott: Yes...er… What kitchen equipment are you leaving behind or are you going to take it all?House owner: Well, you know it rather depends on what I end up buying. I’ve got something in mind at the moment but as you know these things can take ages (yes.) but the place I’m going to has no gas so I’ll probably be leaving this stove, this oven here.Wendy Stott: Is it... is it quite new? Have you had it long?House owner: Oh, no, not long. It’s about five or six years old. (I see.) I’ve found it very reliable but I shall be taking that fridge but you can see everything else. It’s a fully fitted kitchen...Wendy Stott: Yes, what about the dishwasher...um... is that a dishwasher under the sink?House owner: No, no, that’s a washing machine. I shall be taking that. Yes. I will. But there is plumbing for a washing machine. (Right.)Wendy Stott: Is the gas cooker the only gas appliance you’ve got?House owner: No, no, there is a gas fire but I don’t use it very much; it’s in the main room, the lounge.Wendy Stott: Oh Right. That seems fine.House owner: Well, then across here if you’d like to come in with me, this is the sitting room. (Oh. Yes. ) Well you can see for yourself it is really.Wendy Stott: Oh I like the windows, right down to the floor, that’s really nice... House owner: Yes, yes, they are nice. It’s got a very pleasant view and there’s a balcony you can sit out on in the summer. (Yes, it’s a nice view.) Yes, it is nice. Now then across here this is the smallest bedroom; (Yes. ) there are three rooms, this is the smallest and it’s no more really than a box room but of course you canget a bed in.Wendy Stott: You could make it into a study. It would be more useful I think. House owner: Yes, well I think somebody else has got this room as a study. Then this... this is the second bedroom.(Yes. )As you can see it’s got a fitted cupboard and those shelves there they are also fitted.Wendy Stott: Have you got an airing cupboard anywhere?House owner: Oh. Yes, there’s one in the bathroom. I’ll show you that in a moment. (Oh right.) Now this is the third bedroom, this is the largest bedroom(Oh.) Of course it’s got the wash basin, double fitted cupboard, plenty of space really, there,(Very nice.) and of course this room does take the double bed. Now...um... this is the bathroom. There’s the airing cupboard. (Is that the airing cupboard? ) Yes, that’s right. It’s nice and warm in there; it’s rather small but I mean it is adequate, you know, and of course there is... there is the shower. Wendy Stott: Is that, did you put that in yourself or was it in with the flat?House owner: Oh, no. No that was in when the flat was built.Wendy Stott: Is it quite reliable (Oh, yes.) because I’ve had problems with a shower recently? (Yes, no I’ve never had problems with that. No. It’s really good.) Is it gas heated at the water point?House owner: No, that is electric. (Ah.)Statements:1. Wendy Stott knows nothing about the flat before she comes to have a look at it.2. The flat was decorated five or six years ago.3. The house owner has used the oven and the stove for about five or six years.4. The windows in the largest bedroom are right down to the floor.5. There is a balcony in the sitting-room.Part IV More about the topic: Changes in the American FamilyPart V Memory test: Looking for an Apartment1. F2. T3. F4. F5. T6. F7. TTapescript:Dave: Hi Randall. (Hi.) Come on in.Randall: Uh, yeah, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.Dave: yep. I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I’ve been really strapped for cash.Randall: Oh.Dave: Hey, let me show you the place. Uh, here’s the living room.Randall: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet...and those stains?Dave: Well. I’ve had a few problems with some former roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don’t have the money to do it right now. Randall: Oh. And what about the kitchen?Dave: Right this way. Look. It’s completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except...Randall: What?Dave: Well, the refrigerator door is broken... a little bit... and it won’t shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don’t worry. I’ve just improvised bypushing a box against it to keep it shut.Randall: Hmm. Great.Dave: Ah. It isn’t that bad.Randall: Well how about the bathroom?Dave: Well...Randall: No, no. Don’t tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks. Dave: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.Randall: Let me see. The tile... what? The window? Where’s the window pane? Dave: Well, that’s another slight problem. I’ve put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the (Hmmm) rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you canalways turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heatingwent out. (Oh boy.)Randall: Hey, I think I’ve seen enough. I can’t believe you’ve survived under these conditions.Dave: So what do you think? You really can’t beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.Randall: Uh, no thank you. I think I’ve seen enough.。

Unit 3 Sweet, Sweet Homepart ⅠGetting readyA home is a place where people can cook, eat, sleep, relax, and care for their children. It protects people from harsh weather-the freezing snow or blizzard, the pouring of heavy rain, the howling of the wild wind, the glare and heat of the burning sun-as well as from insects, wild animals, and other dangers.A The following words and phrases will appear in this unit. Listen carefully and study the definitions.1. foldaway: that can be folded together for easy storage2. blind: anything that keeps out light, as a window shade or shutter3. detached: not connected, separate4. estate: landed property; individually owned piece of land containing a residence5. sink: any of various basins, as in a kitchen or laundry, connected with a drainpipe and usually, a water supply6. appliance: a device or machine for performing a specific task, esp. one that is worked mechanically or by electricity7. study: a room in a house designed for study, writing, reading, etc.8. warranty: written or printed assurance (to repair or replace defective goods)9. guarantee: give an assurance that something will be replaced or repaired if it does not meet specifications10. install: fix in position for useB A house agent is showing a couple around a flat which they probably will rent.

Once their dream comes true, theywill begin dreaming of better things or different things soon after.

Sometimes a house protects things we want to keep safe from burglars; and sometimes a house simply offers you a chance to be by yourself and away from other people. In order to make sure of all these things, you must be very careful in looking for a proper place to live in.A In this section you are going to hear a woman visiting a flat which she is thinking of buying or renting. Below are some of the things mentioned in the conversation. Decide which will be taken away by the former house owner and which will be left behind.
