1. What do you think is the relationship between money and happiness?
In my opinion, money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. There are lots of rich people in the world who live unhappy lives. Happiness is just a state of mind, and it mainly depends on how you look at people and things. However, having money sometimes does make us feel a little happier because it can help us to gain what we want more easily.

Now, more and more people want to be beautiful,they want to improve their appearence.They did plastic surgery.They dream that they will be a star one day.
Group Work
Let’s Talk
Sample views:
— I don’t think I follow the fashion in clothing. As long as the clothing fits me and reflects my personality, I will buy it, even if it is a little expensive. I don’t mind whether it is a big-name brand or not. And I don’t care what style or color is popular. My principle is I need to be comfortable with what I wear.
Group Work
Let’s Talk
— I sometimes buy expensive clothes. I think packaging now and then is necessary. But I won’t go too far. In my view, a young person, especially a female, radiant with beauty and youth and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. However, youth comes and goes in a moment. Packaging for the middle-aged is quite necessary.

The handful of people remotely associated with these machines can, of course, tell their children "Daddy makes junk". Most of the work force, however, is remote from junk production. What do these people do?
What’s Your Job, Daddy?CONTENTSIntroduction
As time goes by, the same question has two different answers: “What’s Your Job, Daddy?”. Not so long ago, the children thought their father’s job was making something or fix something. However, what do their fathers do as working nowadays seems to be not understood by children at all. Data processor, public relations and systems analyst seem to be nonsense explanations to a child. What the child could see in his father’ workplace is reading paper, delivering paper, carrying paper, and other jobs all that he can not imagine.

新视野大学英语视听说4(第三版)听力练习原文及答案讲课讲稿

Short conversationsConversation 1W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. Inever have time for exercising.M: Don’t think it’s worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour.Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.Q: What advice does the man give to the woman?Conversation 2W: Hi, Mark, I’ve gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events?M: Well, drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables orbread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full.Q: What can we know about the woman?Conversation 3W: I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces.M: Yes, that’s right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded fromthe ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good aircirculation or outdoor open areas.Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa?Conversation 4M: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home,they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W: Yes, that’s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm.They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 5W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn’t seem to be a successful strategy.M: No, it isn’t. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a cup of 100 percent fruit juice.Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?Long conversationM: I love working out!W: Ugh! You’re sweating all over the floor …M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M: You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel mymind relax and the stress just falls away.W: It is nice outside. My mom loves t’ai chi and a nearby t’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ve tried going, but it’s too early for me to get out of bed …M: T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It’s unhealthy for you to sit in front ofyour computer all day, every day!W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen?W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of thebest panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six babypandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and gojogging in the zoo!W: A zoo membership! Now that’s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’s near my house, Ican get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Passage 1Have you ever felt you don’t have enough hours in the day? Or that you’d give anything for awhole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn’t making the list; that’s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “2”next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it’s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter. Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do aday’s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it canbe difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “night owls”, but that’s what email’s for! Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently Iinterrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on youbeing constantly accessible by email, then you can’t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be able to win some “me-time”for yourself.Short conversationsConversation 1W: So this is your last year in college. Have you ever thought about what you’d like to do after graduation?M: Well, I really don’t know. The job market seems to be improving, so I may look for a job somewhere. But I am also interested in applying for graduate school.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 2M: Do you remember Linda we met a while ago at Susan’s birthday party?W: Linda? Do you mean the lady who you said was a nurse in the community hospital before her retirement? Yeah, I remember. She looks very young for her age.Q: What does the woman think of Linda?Conversation 3M: I wish I could retire tomorrow. Then I would not need to worry about work.W: I don’t look forward to retirement. I’m afraid of getting old –my body will slow down, and my children will be away. I dread losing independence and living in loneliness.Q: What makes the woman afraid of getting old?Conversation 4W: I consider my early 20s to be the prime time of my life. How about you?M: I couldn’t agree with you more. That’s no doubt the golden period. You are young and energetic. You are free to pursue your passion. The best thing is that you have a wealth of opportunities to explore.Q: What does the man like best about being in his early 20s?Conversation 5W: Hi, John. You are taking Law 201 this semester, right? How do you like it?M: Yeah, it’s a great class. We’ve looked at several cases of age discrimination at work. Such cases are very interesting because they are rarely clear-cut and court decisions can be rather controversial.Q: What does the man say about age discrimination cases?Long conversationM: Nancy, time to make a birthday wish!W: I wish ... hmm. OK! I want a high-paying job, a husband with a perfect face and body, and abig house ... with a swimming pool!M: Wow, Nancy! Those are your three wishes?W: Of course! If I have those three things, I’ll be happy!M: Now, Nancy. Let me tell you my story, and you may see things differently.W: “See things differently?”What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?M: Here is what I once experienced in life. When I married, 32 years ago, we had a happymarriage, a beautiful house, two expensive cars, and $200,000 in the bank!W: See, just like now!M: Wait! I would suggest three different wishes!W: Well ... What would you wish for? You’re older and wiser!M: What happens if you lose your job, lose your house, and your husband becomes sick? I suggestthese three wishes: patience, courage and love!W: Patience, courage and love?M: Yes! If you have patience and courage, you and your husband will have good jobs and a nicehouse. And if you have true love, you and your husband will be beautiful to each other nomatter how old you become together.W: This is good.M: Within six years of our marriage, we had three beautiful children, but we lost our jobs, ourhouse, all our money, and then I got really sick for nine years. But we didn’t lose anythingtruly valuable, because we always said: “Wherever the five of us are together, we are at home!”And, little by little things did improve, and I finally got well. Patience, courage and love!These are what make life full, strong and happy!W: Hmm, I will remember. Patience, courage and love! Thanks, Uncle Charlie!Passage 1If you think that you have to live up a remote mountain in order to live a long and healthy life,a religious community in Loma Linda, California, may prove you wrong. Its members are a group of Christians known as the Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists enjoy a much higher life expectancy than average Californians. Adventist men can expect to live about seven years longerthan other Californian men. Adventist women are likely to live around four years longer than otherCalifornian women. The Adventists also act much younger than they are and see doctors much less than ordinary people.So what’s the secret of the Adventists’longevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their goodhealth a mere accident. The Adventists live longer partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 percent of them are vegetarian, and around one half eat meat only rarely. Tobacco andalcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffeine. The Adventist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans, and water is the drink of choice.The longevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. Theybelieve in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties. They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Linda, however, is not as good as in other longevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don’t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellent health. Despite this, the Adventists’good health certainly provides strong evidence that diet and lifestyle choices have a great impact on health and longevity.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I really need a holiday, so I’m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break?M: I haven’t got any plans yet. I don’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money, or maybe I could start studying for next semester.Q: What is the woman going to do over the semester break?Conversation 2M: I heard that you quit your swimming lessons. But you have paid $120 for them.W: Ah, it’s all these yoga sessions. I just couldn’t fit them all in. What’s more, I got the majorityof my fees back because I quit immediately after the first day.Q: Why did the woman quit her swimming lessons?Conversation 3M: Shall we spend our weekend in Singapore? We can leave Friday afternoon so as to have dinnernext to the river and enjoy fireworks at the shore!W: I’d rather go on Saturday. My aunt will drop in on Friday evening. We haven’t seen each otherfor a couple of years.Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to leave on Friday?Conversation 4M: What do I need to bring for our camping trip to the national park?W: Well, we’ve bought the food and rented a van. It’s a camping vehicle with a fridge and cookingequipment. I think you will need a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings.Q: What does the woman suggest the man bring for the camping trip to the park?Conversation 5M: Have you confirmed your booking at the hotel in Sydney? With only three days left before ourtrip, I hope everyone is as ready as I am!W: Not yet. But I’d better call them before we start our vacation. During this time of year theyalways get quite busy.Q: What will the woman probably do before the vacation?Long conversationM: Rebecca, I just learned of an amazing park right here near our city!W: Really? Is it a nature park or an entertainment park?M: It’s a beautiful nature park, located 15 miles from our home.W: What’s it called?M: It is called Big Sky Park and has nice walking trails and camping sites!W: Bill, this is perfect! We can have a vacation and still keep saving money to visit my family sometime. But, can we get to Big Sky Park without a car?M: Yes, easily. We just take the No. 32 bus that goes right to the park. The only problem will be getting all of our camping stuff with us on the bus.W: Well, I did just buy that new cart to help carry groceries home on the bus, plus we have your big backpack. Together, I think we will be fine. All of our camping equipment should easily fit on the bus.M: Good. Good! I know we can make it a really special weekend. I have longed for a time when we could walk alone together in the quiet beauty of nature. I’m so, so happy to have thischance to be with you at the park.W: I know me too! I know what I’ll do! I’ll pack all of our favorite food, and I’ll bake a small chocolate cake. Your favorite! Then we can drink tea and eat the chocolate cake around a campfire. I’m so happy you found Big Sky Park. I can’t wait, just two more days for the weekend to come!M: I’m so happy as well. Big Sky Park will be wonderful. The fire, the dinner and spending time with you make me such a happy, happy man, Rebecca!Passage 1A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. Butyou have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things such as sofas, beds and anything that makes you feel like taking a rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around relaxingly in the museum.It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened right after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.The museum’s founder Marcela Arrieta said she wanted people to rethink about laziness anddecide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they may feel they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and change our lifestyleto a type that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stress ofwork can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta’s advice for yourself, slow down, and think about being lazy?Short conversationsConversation 1M: I think the government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address.W: It’s not a bad idea. But I wonder where the money will come from.Q: What does the man think the government could do?Conversation 2W: You see, some colleagues are not as active and efficient as usual and few have made any progress in their business recently.M: Why don’t we organize some social activities, such as a baseball match? Our colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another.Q: What does the man suggest to change the situation?Conversation 3W: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of day.M: When you take the subway, you don’t have to deal with traffic. I never drive home. Driving at this time may be slower than walking.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?Conversation 4W: Have you heard? Kate quit her job and went to Africa to work as a volunteer!M: Really? I really admire her courage. I think we should all extend an arm of help, love and compassion to help poor people become self-reliant financially and psychologically.Q: What does the man think we all should do?Conversation 5W: You know there are many creative ways to reuse items. For example, old shoe boxes can be used for storage and plastic containers can be used for growing plants.M: I never realized that we could be so green. I just learned to recycle glass bottles.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationW: Hey, John! Everything OK? You look upset.M: Oh, hi Kate. I was in the cafeteria eating alone. James from accounting walked by, sat down to eat at the table right next to me –didn’t say a single word to me. I wondered why.W: Is that the main thing stressing you out, John?M: No, I was silly to feel bad about that. What I am stressed about is my workload. My manager, Steven, is a great guy. He always counts on me to get the work done. But I have five meetings this week and two big projects to complete by next Monday. I don’t see how I can finish. I’m really worried I’ll let my team down.W: I have some free time on Friday and over the weekend. I can help you with your extra work if you’d like. I know that feeling of being overwhelmed with work. It’s awful. I’d like to help. M: Really? You’d do that for me?W: Of course I will! John, a lot of us really admire your work. Some of us have asked to work on your team. You’re a great example to us, John. You shouldn’t doubt yourself. I’m glad to help out.M: Wow, Kate. Thanks!W: We could ... discuss it over dinner on Thursday. My treat!M: Wow. No ... I mean I get to buy dinner, Kate! How about the new restaurant on 6th Street, 365?It’s called 365 because it offers local, seasonal foods –fall, winter, spring, and summer –healthy choices with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. Let’s meet at 7 p.m.W: Sounds wonderful! Thursday, 7 p.m. at the new restaurant 365 on 6th Street. Perfect!Passage 1More than half of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a survey.That’s bad news for employers because workers’discontent can hurt productivity and hinderinnovation.Lynn Franco, co-author of the report, says Americans’job satisfaction is at its lowest level inmore than two decades: Only 45.3 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobscompared with 61 percent in 1987.The report was produced by the Conference Board, a non-profit organization that helpsbusinesses strengthen their performance. It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee’s work life, including interest in the job,dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither youngpeople who are just entering the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says, arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it’s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 percentof baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that’s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opportunities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction. Thereare economic reasons such as wages, promotion policy and bonus policy that are sort of adding tothis level of dissatisfaction. In addition, workers are also dissatisfied with the benefits: vacationpolicy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I’ve read a lot about this young singer in the music press. She’s certainly creating a stir. Is she really that good?M: She’s absolutely brilliant. Each of her performances has been a sell-out. Her mix of rap and folk music is unique and awesome.Q: What does the man say about the singer?Conversation 2M: So here we are in Rome, Italy. In the next four days, we are going to have a full schedule.W: I’m so excited. Rome has been my dream city. I can’t wait to see the historical buildings, visit the art galleries and eat real Italian pizza. By the way, shall we start with the famous Capitoline Museums tomorrow?Q: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Conversation 3W: Besides modern opera, which you are studying now, are there any other areas of the arts you enjoy?M: All sorts. I like pop music, and I very much enjoy pencil drawing. But what interests me most is poetry, especially American poetry in the early 20th century.Q: What’s the man’s area of study?Conversation 4M: Hi. I am calling to inquire about the exhibit of ancient Greek sculptures you are now hosting. Could you please tell me the admission fee and the opening times?W: Sure. Admission is free. The opening hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.Q: How long does the exhibit open on Saturdays?Conversation 5W: Darling, let’s check out the reviews of this movie online. If it’s good, we should watch it. M: I think we should. To watch a silent movie is certainly not something common in modern days. The actors must have superb skills to attract the audience if they do not say anything.Q: What is special about the movie?Long conversationW: This feels like a dream ... The last time I was in San Francisco was 30 years ago, when I was your age, 15 years old. So much has changed in the city–but you know–many of the sites are just the same.M: Wow! San Francisco is as beautiful as a picture! I can’t believe it! Let’s get going! Let’s look at the map and take the streetcar to the Golden Gate Bridge.W: Yes, of course. But, wait–let’s just take a moment to look at the Golden Gate Bridge from here–up high on the hill. See how amazing the sun looks, shining on the bridge there high above the water? Sometimes the best way to really enjoy something is to see it from different angles and perspectives.M: Yes! Just beautiful from here! OK! Let’s get going! Wait! You know what, Aunt Lucy, I’mreally, really hungry! May we eat before we head out to see the Golden Gate Bridge?W: Yes, of course we can. We’re already here in Chinatown and near my favorite Chinese restaurant. Even after 30 years have passed since I last visited, it’s still busy and active.M: That’s great, Aunt Lucy!W: And, it’s right here!M: Wow! This is amazing! The man inside the window is making noodles by hand–just by pulling on the flour dough. I’ve never seen anything like it before. How?W: Yes, I know. It’s amazing, right? And the food is delicious, too! Sometimes the best way to enjoy culture is to simply slow down and truly experience it. We have five full days here inSan Francisco. Let’s go slowly and enjoy every moment!Passage 1The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world. It was created byLeonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, between around 1503 and 1506. The subject is the wife of a wealthy silk merchant of Italy. The woman’s husband requested Da Vinci to portray heras a celebration of their home’s completion and the birth of their second son. What is it about thispainting that has created such a lasting impact on the artistic world?One factor is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a scientist,an architect and an engineer. His knowledge of the human form came from the study of actual human bodies, so he was able to draw and paint it more accurately.Another factor is the material used for the painting. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, butunlike other paintings, which are usually created on canvas, the Mona Lisa has a wood panel asthe surface. The use of a wood panel makes it possible for the work to have survived for centuries.Lastly, the style and techniques used for the painting make the Mona Lisa a masterpiece. DaVinci presented precise details in the subject’s hands and face. He applied a shadowing techniqueat the corners of her lips and her eyes, which gives her an unbelievably lifelike appearance. He also created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape. His remarkable skills left behind no visible brush marks at all.All these factors–Da Vinci’s talent, the medium used for the painting, the style andtechniques applied in the work–contribute to the lasting and mysterious beauty of the Mona Lisa.Short conversationsConversation 1M: There is not much worth in reading the newspapers these days. They have more pages but fewer words that really matter.W: You said it! All you find in them are advertisements and celebrity gossip. I wish they could direct more attention to issues that are more important to society.Q: What does the man think of today’s newspapers?Conversation 2W: Hello.

I don’t know why people are so crazy about it!M: In my view, some people watch reality TV because it makes them feel they’re better than others. They may also enjoy seeing other people get embarrassed.Q: What does the man say about reality TV?Conversation 4W: I think teenagers today experience a different social reality from what we had before.M: Exactly. When we were kids, we would hang out with friends, chatting, or going to movies. That’s our experience, but what we see now is that young people are choosing to live online. Q: How do young people socialize today according to the man?Conversation 5W: Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are, butI think communications technology is bringing people closer.M: Yes, I’d go along with you on that.

第三版新视野大学英语4英语口语考试文章上课讲义

第三版新视野大学英语4英语口语考试文章上课讲义

第三版新视野大学英语4英语口语考试文章上课讲义Topic 1: A Logical Fallacy I Have CommittedWhat is a logical fallacy? A logical fallacy is, roughly speaking, an error of reasoning. When people speak of logical fallacies they often mean to refer to this collection of well-known errors of reasoning, rather than to fallacies in the broader, more technical sense given above.Look at a seemingly fallacious example: "if I fail my exams, I can't graduate. If I don't graduate, I won't get a good job, so I'll probably do odd jobs after graduation."This is a common fallacy, and some are taking it for gospel truth,just like I used to be.But in fact,some people can’t graduated from college or poor students not get goods grades also achieve great success in their future.We can't judge others by their present performances .Maybe they just can’t adapt their current study or lifestyle.I think the reason for this fallacy is that most people think mark is the main factor to determine the future,so they always put the mark in an important position and ignore other factors to our future.Topic 2: The Pursuit of BeautySome people spend their whole lives to look for beauty,Some people spare no effort to keep young face,Some people are indifferent to the end of his life but comprehend the true meaning of beauty.So,What is beauty? In my eyes,beauty is a young man who gives his seat to the old,beauty is the police man who serves the people every day,as well as a children who take stray animals.The beauty in my heart is something invisible but can be feeling.In fact,We divide beauty into physical beauty and inner beauty.Physical beauty more focused on people, mainly refers to the body, appearance,its attention is the morphologicalcharacteristics of people.Inner beauty refers to the beauty of the inner world of human beings, and is the concrete embodiment of human’s thoughts, morality, sentiment, character and so on. Therefore, inner beauty is also called spiritual beauty.As for me ,I would like to pursue inner beauty.I think ,inner beauty is a manifestation of people’s thought altitude.Through it,we can recognize a real person.There is a saying goes:don’t judge a person by his appearances.So,inner beauty is willing to pursue.Topic 3: The Entrepreneur I Admire MostMention entrepreneurs, the first one in my mind is Ma Yun,One might think that he have a background or a successful man whenever.But when Ma yun was a child, he was definitely not a good boy. He was naughty and liked to fight. He was not very smart.When he grown up,Ma Yun was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University majored in foreign language.After graduation,Ma yun and his friends set up Hope translation agency and now it is the biggest translation agency in Hangzhou.Afterwards,when he contacted the Internet, he formally established the Alibaba website.T admire him because he is never content with comfort,But to be bold and try to do something really meaningful.He has a spirit of indomitable will.I learn courage and insistence from him. At many times, we are always worried, afraid, and hesitant.In fact, This is just our lazy excuse.Ma yun’s experience told me:Today is very cruel, tomorrow is more cruel, the day after tomorrow is beautiful,But most people died in tomorrow night, and can not see the sun the day after tomorrow.so we should try our best to reach the day after tomorrow.Topic 4: Culture DifferencesCultural differences means different countries have variouscultures.and some of them are same,others are not.such as people in the East prefer to have a shower at night to confirm a comfortable sleep while the western people are fond of taking morning bath to refresh themselves to go through a whole day’s work with energy.These differences not only in behaviors ,but also in education ,gestures,forms of expression and so on.If we are failure to recognize cultural differences,We may do things that not respect enough to threat others,or misinterpret what they really mean,even crack a big joke.Actually, every culture that could not replace each other exists for its unique and important reasons, therefore, we can not force other people to follow our culture. At the same time, what we should do is to respect the cultural diversity.Every culture have their own unique significance ,We can't think about what to change, but try to accept and understand them.Topic 5: Gender EqualityGender equality is a concept we have been advocated for a long time. Almost all countries in the world have realized this idea, but in a few countries, gender discrimination still exists. What is gender equality? Gender equality is either to a man or woman, we should always treat them with the same standard. In fact, Some remote areas in the China, Because of the backwardness of ideas,They still put men in a higher position , so some women are still in an unfair position. Except China,In a small number of countries around the world, The status of women is not high. this phenomenon is worthy of our attention, and we also should do something to achieve or improve gender equality. On the one hand, we need to spread the idea of gender equality, tell people, There is no difference between man and man. everyone deserves to be respected and be love. On the other hand, we need to takeimmediate action to reflect this idea and let more people know, they did not treated specially by others.Topic 6: Should Men and Women Be Equal?Should Men and Women Be Equal?The answer is sure。

新视野大学英语第四册口语

新视野大学英语第四册口语

1.How do you understand''for most people,failure is the end of struggle,not thebeginning"?No one likes failure in his life. But not all can always succeed. It’s a pity that someone will never stand up after a failure. We must learn to accept failure. After all, failure is not always a bad thing. We can learn something from it. Just as the saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”We can know our own shortcomings and learn some experiences from a real failure. If we make up our minds to start again, it will be easier to succeed next time. Further more, failure can make our will stronger.Thomas Wolfe, the American novelist, had his first novel Look Homeward, Anger rejected 39 times before it was finally published and launched his career and created his fame. Beethoven overcame his tyrannical father and grudging accepta nce as a musician to become the greatest, most famous musician in the world, an d Pestalozzi, the famous Italian educator in the 19th century, failed at every job he ever had until he came upon the idea of teaching children and developing the fundamental theories to produce a new form of education. Thomas Edison was thrown out of school in fourth grade, at about age 10, because he seemed to th e teacher to be quite dull and unruly. But, unfortunately, for most people fail ure is the end of their struggle, not the beginning.2.the trouble of fameWe find that famous people always rocket into the spotlight for fame.They also pay for it when they take possession of much.Because they have trouble of fame.As a famous person,they're required to keep themselves as great as their worshipping fans suggest.They make desperate attempts to gain what they want.But they can't do anything free when they really want to.There are several reasens for the trouble of fame.First,they must know basical common sense.Second,they can't touch those sensitive(敏感的)things.Especially personal sentiment.Third,they should have a good temper even others point out their shortcomings.What's more,they need to deal with their family relationship3.the meaning of a good nameA good name is earlier lost than won.. A good fame is better than a good face.1.what impresses you most about Chapin's life1.What should an effective welfare system be like?B ecause of the development of society and allkinds of unfair things in the society, there is a wide gap between the rich and the poor, and mang people live in a great trouble. so an effective welfare system is important.But what should an effective welfare system be like? I think that an effective welfare system should be fair ,complete and can brings kindness to the people who really need it.In this society,mang people who are unfortunate are can't live without other's help, especily the help from govenment. So the govenment should establis some reasonable policies that can make sure the people who need help really get the kindness and have a happiniess life. Besides,some special equipment which can bring some convenient to them should installs in the public area.the last but not least, the govenment should make sure those caseworkers are honest and rich of sympathy,so those policies can work effective.2.the life of a blind personAs we all known,the blind person lives in the dark and couldn`nt see anyhing.You can imagine how bad it is and their life is filled with sorrow,unconvenience,hardship,maybe sometimes they get the laughter not the sympathy.The key of the issue is that they can not enjoy the visualcolourful world and unfortunately, they do not have the ab ility of visualization permantely.I’m sure you won’t find it common that blind people use the Internet,walk without using handrail,let alone the special processing focuses more on sound,shape,texture and position,all things you can get without vision.The rely on the other senses,for example,instead of visualizing a ball as a round thing,you saw,they would visualize it as a round thing they touched.We can get their inner feelings from the Herry Kallen If I were granted three seeing days.It says Make the most of every sense;glory in all the facts of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which Nature provides.But of all the senses,I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.So we can understand the blind person eagerness of seeing world .We should respect them .1.the characteristics of the Information Age“Knowledge is power.” This is more obviously true with the advent(到来) of the information age. With the rapid development of science and technology, man’s knowledge is increasing very quickly. More and more books and scientific papers are published every year. It is said that the total of man’s knowledge doubles every ten years. Besides, information spreads very quickly through television and computer networks, and people in different countries can share their knowledge and information in a fantastic(惊人的) short period. Like population explosion, information explosion in our times.It's the age of information now and information is very important in the society.we need verious of information to live a normal life.we need to know the lastest news ,listen to the weather forecast,learn about the newly published books and many other things we are interested in and want to know.There are many way of acquiring information,for example we can watch TV,listen to radio, read newspaper and magazines and go on line which is to most popupar ,convienent and effective way now.Living in such an age of information,what should we to to face up to the challenge of it?I think we should try our best to learn as much knowledge as we can and try to master the new techonology.2.Why is telecommunications a key factor separating the winners from losers? Communication is very important for humans and even for creatures. It is the process of sharing knowledge, information, ideas and emotions. A single action is already a way to communicate. For business telecommunication is an essential part of the operation. Imagine a company if they don't have a way to be contacted or to contact their clients? Example of this is telephone forwarding which greatly improves how a company manages communication within their organization3.what impact the telecommunications revolution may have on our lifeNowadays , with development of the telecommunications revolution ,there are many impact on our life .First of all , the telecommunications revolution give our life a huge advantage . For example , by the mobile phone we can nearly contact people who we want to find any time and everywhere . We also can look for information , send E-mail , chat with someone on computers .On the other hand, it also bring some bad effects to us . For instance , someone say that computers have a negative effect on children's physical and mental development . And many people also questioned their privacy issues .Telecommunications will continue to develop and affect our lifemore and more .So, I think ,the more important thing is how to useit better . And to be hopeful about it’s future .4.how I use the InternetComputers play an important role in the modern world. Today they are used in many areas of human activities, such as business, industry, science, and education. The development of computers has also created many attractive job opportunities. I'm a college student majoring in mathematics and as such I know quite well the powers of the computer. They have evolved as a natural consequence of man’s growing need for fast and accurate calculation. To make myself better equipped in my field of study I have learned several computer languages to communicate with the computer. My experience tells me that if we want to become competent users of the computer we must keep up with its development. Because modern industrialized society needcomputers to perform a wide range of tasks, I think a general knowledge of such wonderful machines is quite necessary for most of us.5.the reason why a country/business should invest in information technology"The business environment is growing more challenging and complex, and midsize companies are looking for new ways to grow and compete," says Topalovich. "Information Technology, when managed effectively and integrated with business strategy and processes, can enable such growth and competition. This survey will help business leaders frame the discussion around the strategic use of IT in their own companies by understanding how IT is being leveraged by peers and competitors."Midsize companies rely on Information Technology, but some companies use IT more effectively than others. The Mikan Group wants to help business leaders understand how IT is being applied by other companies and industries to enable business growth, innovation, and competitive ability. Available online at , the 2008 IT Business Alignment Benchmark Survey is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Information Technology in enabling companies to overcome business challenges and execute strategy. The compiled and analyzed results of the survey will provide business leaders with valuable information that can be applied to their own enterprises.rmation found on the InternetThe World Wide Web offers information and data from all over the world. Because so much information is available, and because that information can appear to be fairly “anonymous”, it is necessary to develop skills to evaluate what you find. When you use a research or academic library, the books, journals and other resources have already been evaluated by scholars, publishers and librarians. Every resource you find has been evaluated in one way or another before you ever see it. When you are using the World Wide Web, none of this applies. There are no filters. Because anyone can write a Web page, documents of the widest range of quality, written by authors of the widest range of authority, are available on an even playing field. Excellent resources reside along side the most dubious. The Internet epitomizes the concept of Caveat lector: Let the reader beware. This document discusses the criteria by which scholars in most fields evaluate print information, and shows how the same criteria can be used to assess information found on the Internet.。

Topic 1: A Logical Fallacy I Have CommittedWhat is a logical fallacy? A logical fallacy is, roughly speaking, an error of reasoning. When people speak of logical fallacies they often mean to refer to this collection of well-known errors of reasoning, rather than to fallacies in the broader, more technical sense given above.Look at a seemingly fallacious example: "if I fail my exams, I can't graduate. If I don't graduate, I won't get a good job, so I'll probably do odd jobs after graduation."This is a common fallacy, and some are taking it for gospel truth,just like I used to be.But in fact,some people can’t graduated from college or poor students not get goods grades also achieve great success in their future.We can't judge others by their present performances .Maybe they just can’t adapt their current study or lifestyle.I think the reason for this fallacy is that most people think mark is the main factor to determine the future,so they always put the mark in an important position and ignore other factors to our future.Topic 2: The Pursuit of BeautySome people spend their whole lives to look for beauty,Some people spare no effort to keep young face,Some people are indifferent to the end of his life but comprehend the true meaning of beauty.So,What is beauty? In my eyes,beauty is a young man who gives his seat to the old,beauty is the police man who serves the people every day,as well as a children who take stray animals.The beauty in my heart is something invisible but can be feeling.In fact,We divide beauty into physical beauty and inner beauty.Physical beauty more focused on people, mainly refers to the body, appearance,its attention is the morphological characteristics of people.Inner beauty refers to the beauty of the inner world of human beings, and is the concrete embodiment of human’s thoughts, morality, sentiment, character and so on. Therefore, inner beauty is also called spiritual beauty.As for me ,I would like to pursue inner beauty.I think ,inner beauty is a manifestation of people’s thought altitude.Through it,we can recognize a real person.There is a saying goes:don’t judge a person by his appearances.So,inner beauty is willing to pursue.Topic 3: The Entrepreneur I Admire MostMention entrepreneurs, the first one in my mind is Ma Yun,One might think that he have a background or a successful man whenever.But when Ma yun was a child, he was definitely not a good boy. He was naughty and liked to fight. He was not very smart.When he grown up,Ma Yun was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University majored in foreign language.After graduation,Ma yun and his friends set up Hope translation agency and now it is the biggest translation agency in Hangzhou.Afterwards,when he contacted the Internet, he formally established the Alibaba website.T admire him because he is never content with comfort,But to be bold and try to do something really meaningful.He has a spirit of indomitable will.I learn courage and insistence from him. At many times, we are always worried, afraid, and hesitant.In fact, This is just our lazy excuse.Ma yun’s experience told me:Today is very cruel, tomorrow is more cruel, the day after tomorrow is beautiful,But most people died in tomorrow night, and can not see the sun the day after tomorrow.so we should try our best to reach the day after tomorrow.Topic 4: Culture DifferencesCultural differences means different countries have various cultures.and some of them are same,others are not.such as people in the East prefer to have a shower at night to confirm a comfortable sleep while the western people are fond of taking morning bath to refresh themselves to go through a whole day’s work with energy.These differences not only in behaviors ,but also in education ,gestures,forms of expression and so on.If we are failure to recognize cultural differences,We may do things that not respect enough to threat others,or misinterpret what they really mean,even crack a big joke.Actually, every culture that could not replace each other exists for its unique and important reasons, therefore, we can not force other people to follow our culture. At the same time, what we should do is to respect the cultural diversity.Every culture have their own unique significance ,We can't think about what to change, but try to accept and understand them.Topic 5: Gender EqualityGender equality is a concept we have been advocated for a long time. Almost all countries in the world have realized this idea, but in a few countries, gender discrimination still exists. What is gender equality? Gender equality is either to a man or woman, we should always treat them with the same standard. In fact, Some remote areas in the China, Because of the backwardness of ideas,They still put men in a higher position , so some women are still in an unfair position. Except China,In a small number of countries around the world, The status of women is not high. this phenomenon is worthy of our attention, and we also should do something to achieve or improve gender equality. On the one hand, we need to spread the idea of gender equality, tell people, There is no difference between man and man. everyone deserves to be respected and be love. On the other hand, we need to take immediate action to reflect this idea and let more people know, they did not treated specially by others.Topic 6: Should Men and Women Be Equal?Should Men and Women Be Equal?The answer is sure。
