Complete the following chart.Sportsmen Cross training techniques PurposeBoxers Doing road work and weight training Building up staminaTable tennis players Running and jogging Improving performance footballers Doing flexibility exercises Helping control the ball better Tapescript:Good morning. I'm Dr. Pat Parker, and I'm here to talk to you about preventative medicine in its widest and most personal aspects. In other words, I'm here to tell you how the patient should wrest control of their health away from the practitioners of medicine and take charge of theirown medical destiny. I want to talk about staying out of the hands of the doctor.When the patient takes responsibility for her or his own health--and let's decide the patient is male for now -- men are in fact more at risk than women anyway--when the patient takes over his own health regime, he must decide what he wants to do. Our department has recently completed a survey of men's health. We looked at men in different age groups and occupations, and we came up with a disturbing insight. Young men, particularlyworking class men, are at considerable risk of premature death because of their lifestyle. As a group, they have high risk factors: they drink too much alcohol, they smoke more heavily than any other group, their diet is frequently heavy in saturated fats, and they don't get enough exercise.We then did a smaller survey in which we looked at environmental factors which affect health.I had privately expected to find air or water pollution to be the biggest hazards, and they must not be ignored. However, the effects of the sun emerged as a threat which people simply do not take sufficiently seriously. Please remember that too much sunlight can cause permanent damage.Given this information, and the self-destructive things which people, particularly young men are doing to themselves, one could be excused for feeling very depressed. However, I'm an optimist, l see things improving, but only if we work very hard. In the second part of the talk I want to consider different things that you as students can do to improve your fitness.In the late 80's the Surgeon-General of the United States said that 53 percent of our illnesses could be avoided by healthy lifestyle choices. I now want to discuss these choices with you.You should try to make keeping fit fun! It's very hard to go out and do exercises by yourself, so it's wise to find a sport that you like and play it with other people, If you swim, you can consider scuba diving or snorkeling. If you jog, try to find a friend to go with. If you walk, choose pretty places to walk or have a reason for walking. Your exercise regime should be a pleasure, not a penance.The university is an excellent place to find other people who share sporting interests with you, and there are many sportsteams you can join. This, unfortunately, raises the issue of sports injuries, and different sports have characteristic injuries. As well as accidental injuries, we find repetitive strain injuries occurring in sports where the same motion is frequently performed, like rowing and squash. The parallel in working life is repetitive strain injury which may be suffered by typists or other people who perform the same action hour after hour, day after day.In this context, therefore, the most important thing to remember before any sport is to warm up adequately. Do stretching exercises, and aim at all times to increase your flexibility. Be gentle with yourself, and allow time to prepare for the game you have chosen to play. Don't be fooled by the term "warm up", by the way. It's every bit as important to do your warm-up exercises on a hot day as on a cool one.I think one of the most sensible and exciting developments in the reduction of injury is the recognition that all sports can borrow from each other. Many sports programs are now encouraging players to use cross training techniques, that is, to borrow training techniques from other sports. Boxers have been using cross training for years: building up stamina by doing road work and weight training, while honing their skills and reflexes. Other sports which require a high level of eye-hand coordination are following this trend, so you see table tennis players running and jogging to improve their performance, and footballers doing flexibility exercises which can help them control the ball better. All of these results are good, but the general sense of well-being is best, and is accessible to us all, from trained athletes to people who will never run a 100 meters in less than 15 seconds, Good health is not only for those who will achieve athletic greatness!（764）。

Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a oUnit Four UFOsPart A Pre-listening Task (I)Listen to the facts and opinions about UFOs twice and fill in the blanks with the words you hear from the recording. Pay attention to the sentence structures that you might find useful in your discussions. Facts and OpinionsNotedsaucer n.碟子scripture n. 经文chariot n. 战车Stonehenge 英国Salisbury 平原上的史前巨石柱Atlantis 传说沉没于大西洋中的帝国abduct v. 绑架extraterrestrial a. 地球外的1. UFOs stand for Unidentified Flying Objects. Some people also call them flying saucers, because their shapes look like saucers.2. In its broader sense, the UFO includes any object or light, reportedly sighted in the sky, that cannot be immediately explained by the observer.3. I remember as a child, I would save every penny my mother gave me to buy the latest UFO magazines from the grocery store.4. We can not deny the existence of the UFO phenomenon simply because we have notseen it or can not explain it.5. Science has its limitations and many mysteries throughout the world have remained unsolved.6. Sightings of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times.7. The early cave paintings and ancient scriptures seem to indicate that we may havehad visitors from other worlds or planets in the past.8. In fact, ancient scriptures from many different cultures would give us the impression that we've had visitors from outer space.9. How do you explain ancient tales of chariots from the sky? And what are flying ships appearing in science fiction novels before the first plane was ever thought about?10. Even the Bible has been suggested as possible evidence of alien contact, for its numerous accounts of objects in the sky, and other strange events.11. What secrets lie with ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, or possibly even Atlantis? Have there indeed been more advanced civilizations of man that have somehow been lost? 12. Some UFO enthusiasts even claim to have been abducted and taken aboard UFOs.Re c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o But so far, no one has produced scientifically acceptable proof of these claims.13. Some people believe that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, even though noscientifically valid evidence supports that belief. 14. Scientists speculate that intelligent life may well exist elsewhere in the universe.15. In addition to many reports and sightings of UFOs, observers have provided photographs or even videos.16. UFOs became widely discussed only after the first widely publicized U.S. sighting in 1947. Many thousands of such observations have since been reported worldwide.17. From 1947 to 1969 the U.S. Air Force investigated UFOs as a possible threat tonational security. 18. A total of 12,618 reports were received, of which 701 or 5.6 percent were listed asunexplained.19. Since 1969 no agency of the U.S. government has had any active program of UFO investigation.20. In 1997 the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) admitted that the U.S. military had deceived the American public in an effort to hide information about high-altitude spy planes.21. At least 90 percent of UFO sightings can be identified as conventional objects, although time-consuming investigations are often necessary for such identification. 22. The objects most often mistaken for UFOs are bright planets and stars, aircraft, birds, balloons, kites, aerial flares, peculiar clouds, meteors, and satellites.Part A Pre-listening Task (II)Pair/ Group Work - Additional question for discussion1. It is reported that UFOs are alien spaceships from outer space. What do youthink?2. Do you believe in the existence of UFOs? Why or why not?3. Can science explain the UFO phenomenon? Give reasons.Sample1. It is reported that UFOs are alien spaceships from outer space. What do youthink?Since man first started looking up into the skies he saw things he couldn't explain. So the term "Unidentified Flying Object" has come into being and has become a synonym to most people for "Alien Spaceship." Usually the explanation is less extraordinary than a flying saucer manned by visitors from other worlds. Often a weather balloon or natural phenomenon is the cause. However, there are cases on record where no good common explanation was ever found. I think the day would come when this phenomenon will be explained in a scientific and convincing way.2. Do you believe in the existence of UFOs? Why or why not?Since UFOs can not be fully explained by scientists, it is indeed not fair for us common people to deny or believe in the existence of UFOs. Personally I don't believe the storyRe c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o that aliens have visited earth or they have been making strange formed shapes in crop fields. I ’ve also heard a lot of strange sightings of UFOs and alien spaceships being shot out of the sky. Recently some Mexican air pilots were reported to have spotted a fleet of spacecraft and they even took photos of them. But unfortunately, these photos are not clear enough to show that they are really flying saucers from outer space3. Can science explain the UFO phenomenon? Give reasons.So far as I know, science has not reached that stage where UFOs can be explained with satisfactory and convincing theory and with substantial evidence. Scientists around the world and even the U.S. Air Force spent considerable amount of time and money investigating the phenomenon, but so far they haven't produced any convincing reports that can explain or support the existence of UFOs. Surely there are lots of UFO photos and sightings, but most of them are either blurry or they are forged by some mischievous persons. However, I do believe that some day we will be able to explain this phenomenon just as we have explained the workings of cloning technology.Part BListening Task(A)NotesFranksville (地名)Wisconsin 威斯康星州emanate v. 散发，发出accelerate v. 加速frantic a. 狂乱的，疯狂的illuminate v. 照明，照亮fearsome a. 可怕的hover v. 盘旋diameter n. 直径in the wake of ... 紧跟在... ...的后面enigma n. 谜，不可思议的东西eerie a. 怪异的，怪诞的aluminum n. 铝cone n. 锥形物protrude v. 突出underside n. 下面，底面ponder v. 沉思，考虑driveway n. 私人车道Referencel. Background InformationUFOs have been around a long time. One of the earliest accounts of a flyingRe c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o saucer sighting was recorded over 3,400 years ago in the annals of the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III. In the papyrus documents is a description of a group of fiery circles that were seen in the sky over the pharaoh's army. If aliens have been visiting the earth for thousands of years, maybe at some point they had given us a helping hand.The modem age of UFO culture began on June 24, 1947 when pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed a formation of silver disks skipping through the air over Mount Rainier. His report was widely circulated by the print and radio media, sparking interest in UFOs around the world. Just two weeks later, another event took place in New Mexico. That was the famous Roswell incident, in which a flying saucer supposedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. ClA immediately dispatched a team to investigate the incident and kept it a secret ever since. Some witnesses said the U.S. government not only recovered debris from the crashed saucer but also four or five alien bodies. In September 1994, the U.S. Air Force released a new report on that Roswell incident that concluded that the debris found in New Mexico in 1947 probably came from a once top-secret balloon operation, Project Mogul, designed to monitor the atmosphere for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests. Now the UFO phenomenon may be at least a half century old, if not longer, and UFO sightings become more frequent In 1990, the International UFO Congress was founded and is held annually worldwide. At each conference, serious UFO researchers, observers and enthusiasts convene to discuss the UFO phenomenon. For the details of the Congress, please refer to the listening passage in Part D -- Home Listening (2).2. It was one a.m. one cold fal 1 night...It was one a.m. on a cold night in autumn...3.

I was 21 then, and was coming home from a date. I had just dropped off my girlfriend and was heading back to Franksville, a rural town in Wisconsin. As I turned left to go east on Seven Mile Road, I saw extremely bright lights streaming out from the distance.My heart skipped a beat(心停止跳动). What was producing these strange lights visible from a half mile away? I thought it was a house on fire. The lightsRe c o r d e r C o l e W i n G a o seemed to emanate(散发) from the area where my house was located. My parents and two brothers were probably in bed by now.

Both cones seemed to be made of a glass-like material. The top cone was white, while the bottom cone glowed yellow. White lights circled the yellow cone on the underside of the craft. Each light was about 3-4 feet in diameter.It didn't look like any conventional(惯例的) aircraft I had ever seen. It looked like a flying saucer from a movie. Was this what an alien spaceship truly looked like?I pondered(沉思，考虑) what to do. If I pulled into the driveway I would be putting myself directly beneath(在 ... 之下) the craft. I considered turning the car around and speeding away.Questions I.:Listen to the story and decide whether the follwoign statement are true or false.

Every night I would expect them to be safe in bed. But tonight with that mysterious thing hovering ominously(不吉利地) just above their rooms, I wondered what had become of them.Were they inside the saucer? Held against their will by the alien creatures? What could the aliens possibly want from my family? What could they be doing to them?抑制强烈的感情). I pulled into the driveway. As I slowly reached for the car door handle, I comforted myself by thinking, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."How often does a strange spacecraft come to call? How many chances does a small-town Wisconsin boy get to meet visitors from another world? Perhaps the creatures that awaited didn't consider the human an intelligent being.

Unit 4Listen1-1Steve is very short and rather fat. He likes to wear bright-colored casual clothes. Last week, he bought a red shirt and an expensive pair of shiny leather shoes. Every week Steve spends his paycheck before he gets another one. Steve enjoys being with people. He's extremely cheerful all the time and likes to tell jokes. People laugh at his jokes, but he laughs even louder. He loves to go to parties. He eats and drinks a lot and is always surrounded by people. He likes to dance and to listen to loud music. At every party he sings all his favorite songs at the top of his voice and dances with all the girls in the room. He's the last one to leave a party. Steve is a typical extrovert.Susan is slightly overweight. She doesn't like the color of her hair, which is brown. Every month, she buys a lot of fashion magazines that show pictures of slim models wearing beautiful clothes. Susan is so busy reading these magazines and watching her favorite TV shows that she often forgets to wash her hair or take care of her clothes. When she reads the magazines, she eats chocolate. When she is not watching TV, she talks for hours on the telephone with her friends.Jennifer is the kind of girl who impresses you at first sight. She has short hair and likes to dress herself like a "handsome" boy. And she looks really "cool" in blue jeans and T-shirt. Adventure stories and romantic love stories are her favorites, of which she can cover 200 pages in an hour and retell everything in vivid detail! As long as Jennifer can get a 60 in physics or computer science or any of the other courses she has little interest in, that's all she cares about. She will not make any effort to get higher marks. Yet, she has never failed in any courses up to now.Harry is of medium height and weight. He looks quite serious with his thick glasses. He often gets creative ideas and is not easily convinced. He's a good student and quite diligent and dreams of getting the first prize this semester. He is usually quiet but is quite talkative when it comes to chess and computer programming and when there are only one or two friends around. Once he was heard to say that he would never fall in love with any girl until he was a success.Listen2-1Interviewer: Do you have many friends?Shen Mei: Yes, I have many friends and acquaintances but only one of them is very close to me.Interviewer: When did you meet this friend and how did your friendship develop?Shen Mei: We met in our first year in senior middle school, about five years ago.Xiaoqing and I were in the same experimental class. We had a lot morefree time than students in the regular classes, so we did manyinteresting things together.Interviewer: Do you have any close friends at the university?Shen Mei: No, I think friendship takes time to develop. That's probably the main reason why I haven't made any more close friends here. I'm too busystudying and going to classes.Interviewer: Why do you think you became close friends with that particular girl, rather than other girls in your class?Shen Mei: Well, it was due to a combination of factors. At the beginning, we were both chosen to represent our class in a speech contest, so weworked closely together. Then, I discovered that she was a veryhonest person and I think honesty is a very important aspect offriendship.Interviewer: Were there any other things that strengthened your friendship?Shen Mei: Yes. We were both on the basketball team, so we spent hours practising together. Teamwork and cooperation certainly made usappreciate each other even more. We also took part in running races;she helped me a lot. She organized a singing contest and I did a lot ofthings for her. I think helping each other is another important aspectof friendship.Interviewer: Do you still see each other on a daily basis?Shen Mei: No, unfortunately we aren't in the same city now. I passed the entrance examination, but she failed. We were terribly sad, at first.But we are still best friends and that will never change.Interviewer: How would you summarize the difference between a really close friend and other friends?Shen Mei: It's more a question of being a process. Like a flower, real friendship grows day by day. It needs many special ingredients to flourish. Statements:1. Shen Mei doesn't have many friends.2. When Shen Mei and Xiaoqing were in the experimental class, they didn't have much free time.3. It can be inferred that both of them were very athletic in senior middle school.4. Xiaoqing helped Shen Mei to improve her basketball skills.5. Xiaoqing organized a singing contest and Shen Mei helped her a lot.6. They don't see each other on a daily basis because Xiaoqing is at another college.7. They are still the best friends and will be so forever.8. According to Shen Mei, real friendship is like a flower, which needs many special ingredients to flourish.Mlisten1-1The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mud and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in the stone where no wind can ever erase it."Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in the stone.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.Questions:1. Where did the story take place?2. What did the person do when he got slapped?3. What did they decide to do when they found an oasis?4. What did the person write when he was saved?5. How did the person feel when the other wrote something on a stone?Mlisten2-1There once was a little girl who had a bad temper. Her mother gave her a bag of nails and told her that every time she lost her temper, she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.The first day the girl had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to control her anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the girl didn't lose her temper at all.She told her mother about it and the mother suggested that the girl now pull out one nail for each day that she was able to hold her temper. The days passed and the young girl was finally able to tell her mother that all the nails were gone.The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said, "You have done well, my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one."You can hurt a person and it won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry", the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.Mlisten3-1Part IWelcome to the Garden of Friendship. We hope you leave your troubles at the gate, and enjoy your stroll through our garden.The Garden of Friendship was planned to bring men and women together on common ground and to provide a network allowing them to meet one another.

Everybody's not doing drugs and you don't have to do it to be cool.Look, I'm not telling you how to live your lives, but I am telling you that you don't have to do something you don't want to do just to keep your friends happy. I mean, if that's the way that they feel, then maybe they're not your friends. And maybe they're not as cool as you thought they were. And one last thing, I'm not being paid to say this. This is how I feel and if you think that makes me uncool, then you're wrong.Quiz1-1Be a Friendby Edgar GuestBe a friend. You don't need money,Just a disposition sunny;Just the wish to help anotherGet along some way or other;Just a kindly hand extendedOut to one who's unbefriended;Just the will to give or lend,This will make you someone's friend.Be a friend. You don't need glory.Friendship is a simple story.Pass by trifling errors blindly,Gaze on honest effort kindly,Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,Pity him who's sadly sighing;Just a little labor spendOn the duties of a friend.Be a friend. The pay is bigger(Though not written by a figure)Than is earned by people cleverIn what's merely self-endeavor.You'll have friends instead of neighborsFor the profits of your labors;You'll be richer in the endThan a prince, if you're a friend.Quiz2-1If there is one old saying that will forever be true, it is that good friends are hard to find. Friends come and go, and very few of them you have right now will be your friends ten years from now. So often, we expect friendships to last forever, and we get hurt when they don't. I know I've spent a lot of time in my life feeling hurt because people I thought were good friends turned out not to be or simply lost touch.It is hard not to be hurt and when a friend leaves it feels like a part of yourself has gone too. There isn't much you can do to prevent this or make it feel any better. The best thing to do is to try to find friends that you know will be good friends. Don't just try to make friends with every member of a particular group, and don't make friends because you are seeking popularity. The best friendships are based on common interests and mutual concern.It is easy to find a bunch of people to hang out with and to gossip with or joke around with. It is hard to find a true friend. Think about all of the friends you have right now. You probably can't even count them. Now, think about the people you know that you could call at three in the morning to come and get you out of trouble. I'll bet you can count those people on one hand. Those are the friends you need to hang on to, because in a few years all of the others will probably be gone.Questions:1. What is the old saying mentioned at the beginning of thepassage?2. What do we feel when friendships don't last forever?3. How can we avoid feeling bad when losing friends?4. What are the best friendships based on according to thepassage?5. According to the author, how many true friends does eachof us have at most?Quiz3-1Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.Since they were going the same way, Mark helped to carry the burden. As they walked, he discovered that the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball, and history, that he was having a lot of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a coke and to watch some TV. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home.They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice. They ended up at the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long-awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Do you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things from school that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books for me that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life!"Sview1-1Scene 1: In a sports shop(It is Sunday afternoon. Allen and Oliver are looking for a gift for Allen's girlfriend, Pauline.)Allen: Oliver, what if I send Pauline this schoolbag?Oliver: A good gift. But... if I were you, I would choose something different. Allen: Why?Oliver: According to what I hear, girls prefer something romantic. They would like boys to send them roses every day, instead of giving them something more practical.Allen: Mm, I see your point. Did you learn it from your girlfriends on-line? Oliver: Yes. But I can't remember who, Amy, Sandy, Rose or Cinderella?Allen: Yeah, you are great!Oliver: Hey, look at that girl! Is that Wendy? Come on, let's go see her.(Allen walks over after Oliver.)Hi, Wendy.Wendy: Hi, Oliver. I'm so glad to see you.Oliver: This is my roommate Allen.Wendy: Hi, Allen. Nice to meet you.Allen: Nice to meet you.Oliver: (He notices Wendy carries a lot of shopping bags and points to them.) Why have you bought so many things?Wendy: In fact, they're birthday gifts for my best friends Alice, Lily and Phyllip. Our friendship has lasted for almost ten years. You know, I spent the whole day looking for the gifts. And I find these—they're perfect. My friends are going to be so happy. Actually, would you be able to give me a hand? I can hardly take them back to my dorm.Oliver: (He says hesitantly.) Oh, well...Allen: (He says joyfully.) I'd be glad to. We can carry some of your bags. We don't charge much. We charge nothing, don't we? (He winks at Oliver and takes some bags from Wendy.)Oliver: Now I find one advantage of having e-friends, I mean, friends on-line. It's more simple. The only thing I need to do with my friends is to put words into the computer and read the reply. I don't have to worry about whether I have bought the right gift or whether I've got enough gifts for all my friends. Wendy: Maybe that's a good idea. But what's the point of friendship if friends mean only a few images and messages on-line? I'll feel disappointed if I get nothing from my friends in the real world, though I'd admit it's enjoyable to talk with them in the chat room.Allen: I agree with you, Wendy. Sending gifts is more than just telling someone that you like them. It's a way of saying "thank you for being my friend". Wendy: Wonderful, Allen, you sound like a philosopher. You expressed something thatis in my mind but I can't express myself.Allen: How about a coffee?Oliver: Sounds good.(The three of them walk out of the shop.)Scene 2: In a cafe(Wendy's roommate Cathy is browsing the Internet. She is in low spirits.) Wendy: Hi, Cathy. Didn't you have an appointment with Robin Hood today? How did itgo?Cathy: Couldn't have been worse. I waited for the whole weekend. He never showed up. And now all I can do is wait and wait and wait...Wendy: Now you see how unreliable e-friends are. This is what can be expected from e-friendships. Oliver, what do you say?Oliver: It's not that unusual in real life. Maybe he's just busy.Allen: Or maybe he'll never show up.Oliver: Cheer up, Cathy. Why don't you talk to somebody else? You'll make a better friend than Robin Hood. I still say that making friends on-line is the best way.It never disappoints me.Wendy: Come on, Oliver, I don't understand you! Why do you stick to e-friends so much?Oliver: I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm the only child in my family. I'm not good at making friends. I think that making friends on-line has advantages overpersonal friendships.Wendy: Really? I'm all ears.Oliver: Well, it's easy to find somebody to talk to in the chat room. If I just log on and say hello, there will be a guy who pops up and enjoys chatting with me and thenwe meet from time to time and we become e-friends. But in real life, accordingto my experience, it's more difficult. Nowadays people are so busy.Allen: How can you share friendships with people you don't know? You can never know their... true looks, true names, backgrounds or even true sexes.Oliver: I don't need to know their real life. I just take it for granted that the information they give me is true. It's more fun to keep friends in a virtualworld. You know, one thing we expect our friends to do is to listen to our innerheart. We need other people to share our happiness, for instance. As you know,happiness shared is happiness multiplied.Cathy: I agree with you. We girls like to talk with others in times of anxiety and misery. But of our personal friends, who can always keep a secret for us? Iwould be so embarrassed if some of my friends revealed my secrets. It couldlead to trouble or even disaster if we chose to talk to the wrong people.Oliver: But I'm happy with my e-friends. It doesn't threaten me if they talk to other people. They only know mye-name, and they don't know anything about my real life.Wendy: It sounds plausible. But don't you think that e-friendships are easy to break?Suppose your e-friends disappear from the chat room, just as your Robin Hood did, Cathy, the friendships would be gone without a trace.Cathy: I don't think that's a problem. As a matter of fact, friendships in real life are no stronger than friendships on-line. What if you stop writing letters, sending gifts or even making calls to each other? Would the friendship last then? Wendy: I don't think friendship will disappear if that kind of thing really happens, it only fossilizes. After all, all the letters and gifts would be there and they would remind me of the happy moments we once had.Allen: In fact, we can call and even go to visit their house to ask a real-life friend why they didn't show up. I would be relieved to know the truth, whatever it was. Cathy: I think it's not a real friendship any more if either person feels uncomfortable in the relationship.Oliver: Yes, I think, in this sense, e-friendships are likely to be less risky than personal friendships. We often find that friendships become complicated for many reasons.Allen: But to me, it would be awful if my friends were allon-line. However convenient it is, I can't count on them as true friends. Wendy: Yes. Remember, Cathy, when you twisted your ankle last month? What would have happened to you without your real friends?Cathy: Don't get me wrong. Oliver and I just think thate-friendships are less risky in some ways, but we would never suggest that people give up making real-life friends. Am I right, Oliver?...。

Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIAA Comparison Between Western and Holistic MedicineWestern medicine1. treating patients as a series of isolated partsHolistic medicinetaking into account the symptoms, age, habits, emotions and lifestyleWestern medicine2. looking at the part which isn't working wellHolistic medicinebuilding an overall pictureWestern medicine3. trying to remove symptoms, not the causeHolistic medicinetreating the cause of illnessWestern medicine4. using drug and surgeryHolistic medicinepreventing illness -- balanced diet & healthy lifestyleB1.(T)2.(F)3.(T)4.(T)5.(F)6.(F)P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach. But what is it What does holistic mean I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.W: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them.P: And how does that differ from a more western approachW: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and surgery can remove the symptoms ...P: But what's wrong with that Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any moreW: Yes, but as I said, the cause remains. If you have a backache, painkillers will take away the pain, but there's still something wrong somewhere that caused thebackache in the first place.P: So what does the holistic approach think about illnessW: Well, it takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the age, habits, emotions and lifestyle of the individual, and tries to build an overall picture.You see, being healthy means there is a balance, or a harmony, between your mind and your body. When you're ill, it's because there's an imbalance somewhere, and this imbalance is shown by symptoms. The symptoms themselves aren't very important.For example, two people suffering from headaches might be given very different treatment, because the cause of the headache is not the same.P: You mentioned treatment. If holistic medicine doesn't prescribe drugs, how does it treat illnessW: It's important to understand that what holistic medicine tries to do above all is prevent illness, and we all know that prevention is better than cure. A good diet, with lots of fresh food, not processed food with its preservatives and chemicals is essential; and a healthy lifestyle, without too much pressure and worry, and lots of exercise and rest, not too much, not too little -- these are things that will prevent illness.Statements:1.More and more people are moving away from western medicine to holistic medicine.2.Western medicine is good for a mechanic while repairing a car.3.The cause of a backache is more important than the symptom itself.4.According to the holistic approach,when one is ill,it means there is an imbalancesomewhere in him.5.If there are two people suffering from a headache,holistic medicine will treat themin the same way.6.The prevention of an illness is much easier than curing it.。

Unit 5 AthletesPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening II'm Ted. Well, I've been playing it since I was quite young. My father was very keen on it and he used to give me lessons. We didn't have to go far to play, so we used to play together quite a lot. Unless you have to join a club, it's not an expensive sport. You just need a racket and some balls. When I was in university, I played for an hour or so every morning. Sometimes it was not easy for us to book a court because it was so popular. For most people, i t’s great exercise and requires a lot of energy. Of course, you have to be fit, as it demands a lot of running and speed around the court. Usually, there’s not a lot of standing around; one is constantly moving. But that’s why it’s a sport I like to play and watch so much.I'm Mike. I think I've been playing it for nearly 40 years now, ever since I was a little kid. It has always been a great interest of mine. When I watch a game, I appreciate the athletic skills of the players: the strategies of the manager or coach; and the excitement of the uncertainty. I enjoy not knowing how the game is going to end, even when a very strong team is playing against a very weak team. There's always that possibility of surprise, and of the unexpected changing the game.I'm Lisa. Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday for as long as I can remember. I love doing it because you can get better every time. It's fast and exciting and although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous. But apart from getting hurt occasionally, I still thoroughly enjoy it.1. 1) tennis 2 ) quite young 3)soccer 4) a little kid 5) nearly 40 years6)skiing 7) remember2. tennis 1, 5, 7 football/soccer 2, 9, 10 skiing 3, 4, 6, 8Listening IIDuring the 1930s and 1940s, when someone asked a kid whom his role models were, he would often respond with the names of baseball players. Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players played baseball because they loved the game. They rarely complained about money. And they earned very little in comparison with players today.Most players back then were also positive role models both on and off the field. They did a lot of things for the neighborhood, from visiting sick children in hospitals to signing autographs—not for the publicity, but just one of the kindness of their hearts. Parents then could be proud when their children said that they wanted to grow up and play major league baseball. Today, however, most baseball players visit hospitals only when they need care, and some of them even charge 20 dollars for their autograph.In the past, players always tried to be positive role models for America's youth. Today, it is a totally different story. It seems that we can't get through a week without some baseball player doing something stupid or illegal.If today’s players would just grow up and stop worrying about who's making the most money, they would start feeling better about themselves; the public would start respecting the game again; and kids could start finding some role models on the baseball field again.1. B D A C2.T T F F F F F T T TListening IIIBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous.I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.1. 1) team spirit 2) A. spend time together B. individuals pressure C. autonomy interfered drop a player2. 1.2.4.6.8.10（√）Listening IVEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy which might otherwise be harmfully deployed. It does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the event will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as if the world really is one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, exist only in a few places. Indeed, it is safe to say, we often suffer more from bad publicity than bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sports people together, but they unite the world’s public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games? C2.What is said about the spirit of the Olympic Games ? B3.What is said about the influence of the Games ? B2. 1. Criticism.2. It could be harmfully deployed, as in war.3.

The line's clear. Can you hearme, Karen?Karen: Fine, Barry, just fine.Announcer: Great. So here is Karen Finch with her report from the Olympic Village.Karen: Well, I have two athletes with me in the studio. First, Bo Lundquist.Bo: Hi!Karen: Bo is a cyclist and he's here with the Swedish team. This is your first Olympics, isn't it, Bo?Bo: Yes, it is.Karen: And how do you feel about it?Bo: Happy, very happy.Karen: Let's talk about your training schedule, Bo. I imagine it's pretty hard.Bo: Yes, it is. I get up at five...Karen: Five! And do you start training then?Bo: Well, first I have a cup of coffee then I start training at about five- thirty. You know, it's quite cold at that time.Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo?Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish atabout midday.Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?Karen: Right.Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I go to bed early. I want to win a gold medal for Sweden.Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next we have Bob Smith with me in the studio. Bob's a long distance runner and the American 3000 meterschampion.Bob: Hi!Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm in first-class condition.Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like it. So I start around 10 o’clock.Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o'clock.Karen: Really? So late?Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University.Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.Karen: Don't you have any free time?Bob: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music is really special to me.Karen: Well, thank you, Bob and Bo. Good luck!

They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.1. 1.building snowman2.throwing snowballs3.tobogganing4.ice-skating5.skiing2.

What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now, my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem mighthappen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard tostay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract?Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.1. Male Baseball player 24 Pitcher five to six2. 1.What is the prime career time for a pitcher? C2.

AListening IVLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool, an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered 50 of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about 200 feet high, though it may have been only 20 or 25. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, and then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as 15 feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool has got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Come on."Then he shouted again, "I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great; then I was sinking, then My God! I was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."1. 1.

Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they can’t see or hear very well. Children are killed because they are not careful. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.A car or a bus can’t stop quickly. If a car is going very fast, it will travel many metres before it stops. Some people don’t under stand this. They think a car can stop in a few metres. It is difficult to know how fast a car is moving.

Unit 5 听力原文及答案

Unit 5 AthletesPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening II'm Ted. Well, I've been playing it since I was quite young. My father was very keen on it and he used to give me lessons. We didn't have to go far to play, so we used to play together quite a lot. Unless you have to join a club, it's not an expensive sport. You just need a racket and some balls. When I was in university, I played for an hour or so every morning. Sometimes it was not easy for us to book a court because it was so popular. For most people, i t’s great exercise and requires a lot of energy. Of course, you have to be fit, as it demands a lot of running and speed around the court. Usually, there’s not a lot of standing around; one is constantly moving. But that’s why it’s a sport I like to play and watch so much.I'm Mike. I think I've been playing it for nearly 40 years now, ever since I was a little kid. It has always been a great interest of mine. When I watch a game, I appreciate the athletic skills of the players: the strategies of the manager or coach; and the excitement of the uncertainty. I enjoy not knowing how the game is going to end, even when a very strong team is playing against a very weak team. There's always that possibility of surprise, and of the unexpected changing the game.I'm Lisa. Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday for as long as I can remember. I love doing it because you can get better every time. It's fast and exciting and although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous. But apart from getting hurt occasionally, I still thoroughly enjoy it.1. 1) tennis 2 ) quite young 3)soccer 4) a little kid 5) nearly 40 years6)skiing 7) remember2. tennis 1, 5, 7 football/soccer 2, 9, 10 skiing 3, 4, 6, 8Listening IIDuring the 1930s and 1940s, when someone asked a kid whom his role models were, he would often respond with the names of baseball players. Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players played baseball because they loved the game. They rarely complained about money. And they earned very little in comparison with players today.Most players back then were also positive role models both on and off the field. They did a lot of things for the neighborhood, from visiting sick children in hospitals to signing autographs—not for the publicity, but just one of the kindness of their hearts. Parents then could be proud when their children said that they wanted to grow up and play major league baseball. Today, however, most baseball players visit hospitals only when they need care, and some of them even charge 20 dollars for their autograph.In the past, players always tried to be positive role models for America's youth. Today, it is a totally different story. It seems that we can't get through a week without some baseball player doing something stupid or illegal.If today’s players would just grow up and stop worrying about who's making the most money, they would start feeling better about themselves; the public would start respecting the game again; and kids could start finding some role models on the baseball field again.1. B D A C2.T T F F F F F T T TListening IIIBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous.I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.1. 1) team spirit 2) A. spend time together B. individuals pressure C. autonomy interfered drop a player2. 1.2.4.6.8.10（√）Listening IVEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy which might otherwise be harmfully deployed. It does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the event will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as if the world really is one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, exist only in a few places. Indeed, it is safe to say, we often suffer more from bad publicity than bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sports people together, but they unite the world’s public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games?

You know, it's quite cold at that time.Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo?Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish atabout midday.Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?Karen: Right.Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I go to bed early.

So I start around 10 o’clock.Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o'clock.Karen: Really? So late?Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University.Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.Karen: Don't you have any free time?Bob: Not much.

They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.1. 1.building snowman2.throwing snowballs3.tobogganing4.ice-skating5.skiing2.

What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now, my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem mighthappen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard tostay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract?Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.1. Male Baseball player 24 Pitcher five to six2. 1.What is the prime career time for a pitcher? C2.

AListening IVLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool, an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered 50 of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about 200 feet high, though it may have been only 20 or 25. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, and then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as 15 feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool has got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Come on."Then he shouted again, "I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great; then I was sinking, then My God! I was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."1. 1.

百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我Unit5 Section One Tactics for ListeningPart2 listening and Note-taking ReadingB: When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teacher's affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For instance, by a nice piece of cardboard tied to their bed with BED written in neat-big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents1百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我are capable of doing so, such an appeal should not be ignored. But the task should be undertaken gently, with great patience and a sense of humour. Reading should never be made to look like a chore and the child should never be forced to continue, should his interest start to flag*. Exercise A: 1.

Nice. CDs have such good sound. Do you ever wonder how theymake CDs? KATHY: Well, they get a bunch of musicians together, and they sing and play. MIKE: Come on. You know what I mean. Why is the sound quality so good? I mean,why do CDs sound so much clearer than cassette tapes? KATHY: Actually, I do know that. MIKE: Really'? KATHY: It's all based on digital sound. CDs are digital. Digital sound is like severalphotos, all taken one after another. It's kind of like pictures of sound. The intensity of the sound – how strong it is -- is measured very quickly. Then it's measured again and again. When we hear the sound, it all sounds like one long piece of sound, but it's really lots of pieces close together. And each piece is really clear.2百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我M1KE: So digital is like lots of short "pieces" of sound. KATHY. Exactly. This is different from analog* -- that's how they used to record.Analog is more like one wave of sound. It moves up and down with volume and pitch. Anyway, analog is like a single wave. Digital is like a series of pieces. MIKE: OK, I understand that. But how do they make the CDs? KATHY: I told you, Mike. They get a bunch of musicians together, and they singand play. MIKE: Kathy !KATHY: No. What really happens is first they do a digital recording -- onvideotape.MIKE: On videotape. KATHY: Yeah, they use videotape. So then the videotape is played through acomputer. MIKE: OK. What does the computer do? KATHY: Well, the computer is used to figure out the "pieces" of sound we weretalking about; how long everything is, how far apart spaces are. MIKE: OK. So the computer is figuring out those separate "pieces" of sound. KATHY: Yeah. They need to do that to make the master. MIKE: The master? KATHY: The master is the original that all the other CDs are copied from. It's madeof glass. It's a glass disk that spins around -- just like a regular CD. And the glass disk is covered with a chemical. They use a laser to bum the signal, or the song, into the glass plate. The laser burns through the chemical, but not through the glass. MIKE: So the laser cuts the sound into the plate. KATHY: Right. What it's doing is cutting little holes . into the back of the disk. Those holes are called "pits." The laser puts in the pits.MIKE: So CDs really have little holes on the back? I didn't know that.KATHY: Yeah. Tiny pits. They're too small to see. [Pause.] Anyway, then they've got the master, and they make copies from it. Then you buy your copy and put it in the CD player.MIKE: Put it in the CD player ... That part I understand. KATHY: There's another laser in your CD player. The light of the laser reflects offthe CD. The smooth part of the CD reflects straight back, like a mirror. But the light that bounces off the pits is scattered. Anyway, the computer in your CD player reads the light that bounces off the pits. And you get the music. MIKE: Reflected light, huh? ... Uh ... you knew what I like? Just relaxing, listening to music, and not really worrying about how it gets on the disk.

Imagine: the ancient Egyptians were already concerned about their dental hygiene! We know this today because they also had the good habit of being entombed* with all their treasures ... So we were able to discover that tombs from 3,000 years before Christ contained small tree branches whose ends had been frayed* into soft fibers. It's comical to imagine an Egyptian stopping to brush his teeth after a meal, on his break from building a pyramid! The true ancestor of our toothbrush, however, was invented by the Chinese in the 15th century and brought back to Europe by travellers. This toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wild boar which were fixed to a bamboo or bone handle. The people of the Occident*, however, found the wild boar hairs too stiff. At the time, very few people in the Western world brushed their teeth, and those who did preferred horse hairs, which were softer than those of the wild boar! In Europe, it was more customary after meals to use a goose feather toothpick, or one made of silver or copper. Other animals' hair was also used for dental care, right up until this century. But it was the poor Siberian wild boar that took the brunt of it. The animal was6百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我imported for its neck hairs for a long, long time ... in fact, until nylon was invented, in the 20th century!In 1937, in the Du Pont laboratories in Nemours, U.S., nylon was invented by Wallace H.Carothers. In 1938, this new material became a symbol of modernism and prosperity through the commercialization of nylon stockings and of Dr. West's miracle toothbrush with nylon bristles. The wild boars were finally off the hook!At first, even if there were many advantages to using this new brush instead of the one made with wild boar hairs (which fell out, wouldn't dry very well or became full of bacteria), the consumers were not entirely satisfied. This is because the nylon bristles were very stiff and hurt the gums. In 1950, Du Pont improved their toothbrush by giving it softer bristles.Today the brands, types, and colours of toothbrushes on the market are almost endless. In spite of this, certain African and American populations still use tree branches to care for their teeth! Exercise A: First, the toothbrush was made of hairs from the neck of a Siberian wild boar. Second, the toothbrush was made of horse hairs and other animals' hairs. In the 20th century, the toothbrush was made of nylon bristles. Exercise B: 1.A 2. B 3. C 4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 8.

Part 3 News7百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我News Item 18百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我9百度文库 - 让每个人平等地提升自我10Section Three Oral WorkRetellingScheduled to address the nation one day, Winston Churchill, running unusually late, hailed a cab in London's West End and ordered him to drive to the BBC as quickly as possible."Sorry, sir," the driver replied. "You'll have to find yourself another cab.""And why is that?" Churchill asked."Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem, sir," the driver apologetically explained, "but Mr Churchill is broadcasting at six o'clock and I want to get home in time to hear him."Churchill, greatly flattered, took a pound note from his wallet and handed it to the cabbie. The man gladly took the tip: "Hop in, sir? he exclaimed. "The devil with Mr Churchill!"Section Four Supplementary ExercisesReading RecoveryMore than 1 million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery. The program is for six-year-olds who are struggling to learn to read,The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than one-fifth of United States public schools with first grades use the program.The Reading Recovery method calls for a specially trained reading teacher to work With children one at a time. The lessons take a half-hour each school day. They employ reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet.Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert Marie (pronounced MAHR-ee) Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other countries also use this method. Programs can differ from school to school.Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the student develop these strategies to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the student to continue to use and extend these strategies each time he or she reads.Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time.The lessons end when the student's reading ability is within the average level of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average.The council is a group with 11,000 members. The group named a new president this month. Mary Jackson is director of special programs for the Fort Bend public school system in Sugar Land, Texas. Mizz Jackson says more than 99 percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination.Some administrators* may not like the higher cost of the Reading Recoverymethod compared to other interventions*. Teachers, after all, work with only small numbers of first graders. But supporters say it saves money in the end. They say it helps prevent the sad results and expense of letting children fail in school.Reading Recovery is a program developed by a New Zealand education expert Marie Clay. It aims at first graders who fail to learn to read at school. This program came to the US in 1984and up to now more than one million school children have gone through this program. During the lessons, the teacher works with the children one at a time. He/she looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the student develop these strategies to solve problems hi reading. When the student's reading ability is within the average level of the class, the lessons end. Some administrators may not like the higher cost of the program but supporters say it saves money in the end. It helps prevent the sad results and expense of letting children fail in school.Exercise C:Your opinionDirections: Listen to the passage again and give your opinion on the following topic. "Children also read and write stories in their own words."1. What are the advantages of reading and writing stories in one's own words? Passage 2 Internet Overtaking TV among Consumers。

Unit5Part 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening IScriptPart AJennifer is talking to an interviewer about her nightmare.Jennifer: It was always the same. Always. I was in a house, a strange house, and I knew somehow that I shouldn‘t have gone in. But there was some strange force pulling me. There were some stairs…very steep stairs… and I started to climb them, and … and then, suddenly fell. Then when I was at the bottom of the stairs, I suddenly realized that there was someone…or something else in the house with me, and that these eyes had been watching me all the time, and…I knew then that something terrible…was going to happen to me…that I was going to be punished…because I‘d done something I shouldn‘t have done. I didn‘t know what it was, but I knew it was wrong, very wrong. Then I could hear it…whatever it was in the house with me…coming closer in the darkness, because everything was dark, you see, and it came closer and closer. And I was scared…and there was nothing, nothing I could do to avoid it…nothing. I was trapped! Trapped in that dark house at the bottom of the stairs. There was no way out.Interviewer: And how often…Jennifer: No way out !Part BInterviewer: How often have you had this nightmare?Jennifer: When I was in college, just about every time I had an exam. And then, a few years later, when I was taking an intensive Italian course in Italy, I had the same dream again. Just the same as before.Interviewer: And you discussed it with a psychoanalyst ?Jennifer: Yes, later, after I came back to Los Angles, I started therapy, and this dream came up, and we discussed it quite a bit.Interviewer: And what did the psychoanalyst say?Jennifer: He said…uh…you have to be very careful about interpreting dreams, but we both agreed that the dream was a symbol of my fear of failure…of disappointing my parents when I was in college, for example, by failing my dreams, or…or when I was taking that Italian course, I remember how scared I was sometimes. Interviewer: Scared of what?Jennifer: Of making mistakes in class, in front of the teacher or the other students. I was always in fear.Interviewer: I see.Jennifer: And the dream was a kind of classic symbol of that fear…of the fear of failure. Falling down stairs in a dream is a symbol of that. The two words are very similar.Interviewer: Which…which two words? Oh, you mean…Jennifer: Y es, fall-fail, falling-failure. V ery similar, aren‘t they?Listening IIScriptNew research shows that dreams are often distorted reflections of our daily life. many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize our inner conflicts.According to some experts, men and women dream differently because of biological and social conditioning. In a study of 1000 dreams, half from each sex, experts found that men more often have action dreams .Usually these are set outdoors or in unfamiliar surroundings. Women dream more about emotional struggles with loved ones, usually in indoor settings. As more women have careers, their dreams might become more like man‘s. Researchers have found that while housewives dream more about children, women in the workplace dream about bosses and colleagues. Small children who are easily scared dream about frightening animals and monsters that that chase and attack them. Teenagers dream about romance and sex.Some dream researchers found in a study that people between 21and 34 have more anxiety over issues of right and wrong in their dreams, possibly because they are making importance decisions about career, marriage and life direction. People of age 35 to 49 are much less hostile toward others in their dreams, perhaps because they are reaching their greatest achievement and have less need for aggression while awake. After age 65, anxiety about aging appears much more often in people‘s dreams.If life stages affect our dreams, so do out attitudes. Studies show that angry people act out their anger in their dreams, and depressed people sometimes dream they are victim of rejection.Creative people often use their dreams to solve problems. According to the author Naomi Epel, when some writers, artists or scientists go to sleep, they ask their subconscious for a dream that will help them solve problems.Listening IIIScriptAlmost all people day dreaming during a normal day. We tend to daydreaming the most during those quiet times when we are alone in our cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. day dreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic human characteristic. Most people have reported that they enjoy their day dreams . Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women , but subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different. Men day dream more about being heroes and good athletes while women tend to daydream about fashions and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still common in old age. Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past. daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists believe that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play . It is a normal part of their development. It helps childrendevelop and explore their imagination.Daydreaming has advantages and disadvantages In some situations it can reduce a person's fear or anxiety. can also keep us entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, we must divert part of our attention from our environment. When it is important for us to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around us, day dreaming can cause problems. Listening IVScriptA Dream Within A DreamTake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow---Y ou are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Y es if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand---How few! Y et how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep---while I weep!O God! Can I not graspThen with a fighter clasp?O God!

I read with great interest your interpretation of dreams of teeth falling out .It is the same interpretation that many others use as well : needing to be heard etc. I myself had this dream repeatedly and was dying to know what it meant , as is was always confusing and disturbing . However , I was always unsatisfied with the ― needing to be heard ‖ thing.Y our might note that many people who have this dream are feeling worried , depressed or frightened as their teeth are falling out painlessly .Sometime they even try to keep the teeth from falling out . Finally I came up with a different interpretation , which fitted me much better . In fact , I‘ve had fewer dreams of this sort now .So I thought you might be interested .For me , the dream means I am talking TOO MUCH . It means thoughtlessness ,telling secrets , gossiping un wisely . And it‘s my subconscious warning me .Now ,if I have this dream ,I know I have been unwise with my big mouth ! Trying to cram the teeth back in , or stop them falling out ,or trying to find a dentist , actually means trying to stop the words or gossip from coming out , and the feelings of depression are reflecting the regret of being too revealing –usually to an enemy . I am much more aware of this now and not such a big mouth ! Maybe you could add to your interpretation,Best,KatieListening IVScriptSleep is something we generally associate with living creatures. Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animals life, like worms and snails, even really sleep. On the other hang, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep a human being needs depends on age, the individual and possibly race. .For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours, and adults between 7and9 hours. There are exceptional cases of old people who sleep only between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known for certain if certain if mental activity (apart from dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a specific, pre-determined time. There are also stories about mathematicians who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.Some types of unpleasant dreams (or ‗‗nightmares‘‘)are quite common, the dreams is taking a test, but is not properly prepared. he is falling from a tree ,or an animal or thing is chasing him. Some people say these last two occur because man‘s ancestors lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.。

英语听力教程unit5听力原文

Unit 5 听力原文Part IBMan: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I knowI got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then —but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. CInterviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one.Interviewer: and what is your profession?Sergio: I’m an accountant.Interviewer: Are you married?Sergio: Yes, I’m married.Interviewer: Does your wife work?Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher.Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for? Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan.Interviewer: How long did you work there?Sergio: Um, for fourteen years.Interviewer: How did you lose your job?Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed?Sergio: Um, for about 6 months.Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days?Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply.Interviewer: Any luck so far?Sergio:Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people?Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology.Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do?Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information.Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency?Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books. Interviewer: So how much time do you spend looking for a job?Sergio: Oh, about ten, fifteen hours per week. The rest of time I do housework and other things.Interviewer: Are you optimistic?Sergio: Yes. But I really don’t want to leave Milan.Interviewer: I see. Thank you.Part II Summer jobsignorance：无知，愚昧;蒙deterrent：制止的;遏制的occupational：职业的;军事占领的make fortune：致富accommodation：住处;适应;便利;和解boring：无聊的，无趣的;令人厌烦的;单调的，乏味的plus：加bowling：保铃球obviously：明显peel：剥皮;覆盖层脱落，剥落sunbathing：日光浴reasonable：有理的hire out：出租;受雇suntan：晒黑fantastic：奇异的，古怪的;极好的courier：导游;（传递信息或重要文件的）信使;通讯员Interviewer: And Christine, what about you? What have you been doing this summer? Christine: Working, mostly.Interviewer: You mean you’ve been studying?Christine: Oh no, I’ve been doing a job to earn money.Interviewer: And have you made your fortune yet?Christine: Hardly! But I haven’t done too badly. I’ve been getting about ￡70 a week, plus my meals and my accommodation, so I’ve earned over ￡ 500 andI’ve managed to save most of it.Interviewer:That sounds pretty good. What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel.Interviewer: What, as a waitress?Christine: No. I’ve been helping in the kitchen most of the time — washing and peeling vegetables, preparing breakfast trays, washing up — that sort of thing.Interviewer: And have you been enjoying it? Or has it been rather boring? Christine: No, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve found it quite interesting here, in fact. Not so much the work itself, but the people I’ve got to know and the friends I’ve made, and I’ve managed to do lots of things in my spare time too. It’s a seaside town, so there’s been quite a lot going on in the evenings — you know, dancing, bowling, cinemas, and so on — and on myafternoons off I’ve been doing quite a bit of sunbathing and swimming. Interviewer:Yes, I can see you’ve got quite brown. You’ve obviously been having some reasonable weather here. Now what about Kevin here? Kevin, you’ve managed to get a fantastic suntan. How have you been spending your time here?Have you been doing a holiday job?Kevin: Yes, I’ve been working down on the beach. I like an outdoor job. I’ve been mostly hiring out deck chairs — you know, going round collecting the money, but I’ve also been selling papers.Interviewer: And have you earned a lot of money?Kevin: Not a lot. I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s the one who’s been making money this summer.Interviewer: Has he been working here in Brighton too?Kevin:No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for a travel firm. He’s been taking Americans round Italy on coach tours and having a fantastic time. And one of them has invited him to go and work in America next summer.Interviewer: Lucky him!Part III Jobs: my idea of hell, my idea of heavenmeasure：测量，测度;措施;程度;尺寸dissatisfied with：不满melt down：熔化abattoir：屠场;（拳击、摔跤、斗牛等的）角斗场day in and day out：天天地，每天地;日复一日be capable of：能够nuclear power station：核电站mad：疯comprehend：理解casino：赌场;俱乐部，娱乐场;小别墅revolting：叛乱的;背叛的;使人厌恶的pinpoint：确定，准确地指出;精准定位AIDS clinic：艾滋病诊所self-explanatory：自明beat：打击sane：心智健全的;神志正常的;明智的;稳健work on one’s own：给自己工作responsibility：责任independent：独立chicken battery：层架式鸡笼amongst：之中night shift：夜班torture：拷问;折磨;痛苦archaeologist：考古学家anthropologist：人类学家third baseman：三垒手photographer：照相师contact：联系My Idea of Hell:1st speaker: I think my idea of hell would be, to be, to have a job where I had to do the same thing over and over again like somebody working in a factory just picking up one thing from one place and putting it into another and this just going on and on, day in and day out, if it was that kind of job I would just go mad...2nd speaker: Well, I think the thing I would least like to do given an option of anything in the world would be to be the guy who sits in a nuclear power station watching for it to start melting down, you know, the guys who sit there in front of those, that’s just you know it’s a revolting thing anyway but can you imagine the boredom and the responsibility at the same time, it would just be completely terrible, I’d hate that.3rd speaker:I think, I think the job I ... I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it is to be work as the killing person in an abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it: to work as the killing person in an abattoir.) I think that would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory whyI couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine how people actually do it. I metsomebody once who erm was one of the people that went into erm er a chicken battery and they’d spend all night they were only working night shift and just kill chickens and and I just couldn’t comprehend how they managed to do that and how they stayed sane. That would be the worst thing. I think it’d be torture in more ways than one...My Idea of Heaven:1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are paid a lot of money and you could travel to different countries —someone likea television reporter or an archaeologist or an anthropologist. I mean thoseare the exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job where I can travel and see different countries and have time to actually stay in those countries and learn a little about those countries and visit exciting places.2nd speaker:What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world would be to play for the New York Mets. You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat that... third baseman for the New Youk Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball team... best baseball team in the world.3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like to be a photographer, erm because it would give me an opportunity to work with people but at the same time be independent still and that’s the thing that I always need. I need to be independent, be able to work on my own and be amongst other people, very much like you, I think, that I have to have other contact but like to get on with wha... with my own thing.Part Ⅳ1st speaker: …er …well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at 8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand. Um…I think whatI like about it is I like meeting…meeting people, or rather dealing with people,because we’re really stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we used to have microphones and used them to speak to people, but they decided it was too impersonal so they changed it back. Um...you know, I like dealing with people like I said, it’s surprising, you know how varied the work is really. Well,a lot of it is routine, of course, but there’s still something unexpected everyday. You never know who’s going to walk in and come up to your... er ... position.Er... yeah, I do like handling money and I like the responsibility and the feeling that the customers trust you because you are dealing with their money and their livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the way people can be rude or angry about little things that aren’t my fault. It’s usually because they’ve made a mistake themselves and they aren’t prepared to admit it. I mean it’s up to them to check if they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if they write it, isn’t it really?2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting with clients, trying to find out exactly what they want or I try to persuade them that our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re very rarely givena free hand by clients. A lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent on research.You see, we have to do all the viewing and ...and the readership figures. We do our own surveys to find out what a cross-section of people think. Of course it’s not just what they think. I mean, people can say "Yes, that’s great.I...I found it really amusing and so on", but what counts is: Does it sell thegoods? Now, if we don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I enjoy most is really the creative side. Now, ideas, you know, they come to you everywhere at the most unexpected times. In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me when I was in the bath and I just jumped straight out, I got on the phone to the client. You know, I was... usually we...we have what we call brainstorming sessions in the office, so the best ideas are usually the result of teamwork. That’s what makes a good agency-a team of individuals who can work both alone and together. It takes a special sort of person. Now, the biggest drawback of the work is that you stand or fall by results. If your ideas are drying up of if you make an expensive mistake, then you get the sack. There’s always that hanging over you —it’s always worrying.Part VDavid:Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest. The best in the Southwest from music along to the minute news. Sue is here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David:And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a new job, this could be a spot for you. So let’s have a look and see what we’ve got today. How about a hairdresser? You must be experienced for this job and the pay will be agreed. So that will depend on experience. The hours are 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . So that’s hours 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 . a hairdresser. How about youSue? What have you got?Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant. So it’s very useful to have experience in large scale cooking.The age is around 25 or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to 6:30. David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook. Now how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? There is no age restrictions on this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong, any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen on gardening, this could be a great job. The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5. Sunday you have to work once a month. But the bonus is on Monday. The garden centre’s closed. Now the third work you would be doing is a general assistant in a garden centre. Potting, watering, things like that. So if you’ve got green fingers, how about applying for that pay 1 pound 70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got?Sue:Right, David. From outdoors to indoors, we’ve got a short-hand typist job here.That’s in an office. And this job may suit a woman with school-age children.Because the hours are only 15 hours a week. The age is twenty to fortyish and the pay depends on the age. It’s a small friendly office, but there is experience of course. The accuracy is more important than the experience. So they go. That’s a nice short-hand typist job in an office.David: Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says: requires no experience at all but training will be given on the job. And pay is 67 pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s a full time job, but the big thing is you don’t need any experience. So if you’re just leaving school, and fancy working in the supermarket, try that. You get one day off during a week and you must work one late evening to 9:30 . OK, that’s a shop assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.。

Y et it has only 26 million people, which is less than half the population of the United Kingdom. It extends from the Great Lakes in the south to the majestic Rocky Mountains in the west, and the bleak Arctic Islandsin the far north. A third of the country is covered by forest and there are also vast grasslands and countless lakes and rivers.There are great variations in climate. Winters are extremely cold except in V ancouver which has a milder climate owing to its location on the west coast, so take a heavy overcoat and a fur hat. Canadian summers are warm on the whole, especially inland, so you’ll only need lightweight clothing.A quarter of all Canadians, mainly those living in the province of Quebec in the east, speak French as their first language. In addition, there are half a million American Indians, a million Germans and smaller numbers of Italians, Ukrainians and Inuit, Canada has two official languages: English and French, except in the province of Quebec where French alone is the official language.

Beer is good but foreign wines, even those from neighboring America, tend to be quite dear and local wines are not particularly good.Canada has some of the world’s most modern shopping centers. Clothes tend to be slightly expensive by European standards but there are some bargains to be had. Good buys include moccasins, a kind of soft leather shoe made by Indians, woolen gloves and sweaters, wood carvings, leather goods and maple syrup, of course.The unit of currency is the Canadian dollar.

The Story of DenverOutlineI. A. 1l6 kilometers/ one mile above the sea levelB. population:C. 1. 300 days of sunshine a year2. about 35 centimetersII.

A. History B. Natural History C. North America/ 90,000 E. city park system F. a business area filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehi cl es pul l ed by horsesTapescript:Denver is the largest city and capital of the western state of Colorado. There’s a marker on the step in the State Capitol Building. Standing there, you are exactly 1.6 kilometers above sea level, one mile high. Denver is known as “the-mile-high city”, but it does not appear to be that high. This is because it is built almost completely on smooth flat land. Denver is the largest city of the Rocky Mountains. Many people believe it is actually in the Rocky Mountains. However, it is about 50 kilometers east of them.The city of Denver has a population of about 470,000 people. This makes it the 26th largest city in the United States. The area around Denver has more than 1,600,000 people. City officials are proud of the fact that Denver receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Storms moving east across the country lose much of their strength in the Rockies. So Denvergets only about 35 centimeters of rain and snow a year. The nearby mountains, however, get a lot more than that.Denver is the business and marketing center for all the Rocky Mountain area. It has more than 1500 manufacturing companies. Food processing is the main manufacturing activity. Other factories make equipment for the defense, space high technology and transportation industries. Gold production is also important. Denver is home to companies that control half the gold produced in the United States.The computer and communications industries have become increasingly important in recent years. Denver has the third highest number of high technology jobs in relation to the population. The area also has become a center for companies that do business in other countries. This is true throughout the western states. In fact, more jobs in the American west are linked to foreign trade in any other part of the country.Tourism is also an important industry in Denver. For example, the Colorado History Museum shows the history of the native American Indians, gold miners and other people who moved to Colorado. The Denver Museum of Natural History shows Indian objects and examples of local wildlife. Many visitors to Colorado and Rocky Mountains use Denver’s new international airport, which opened in 1995. it was the first major new airport built in the United States in 21 years.

Spot Dictation—Wind Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making - the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft under the (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves.
Spot Dictation—Wind In the past we watched the wind closely. (1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) one's face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought. Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the rattle: 嘎嘎作响 scratch: v.抓；搔；划破；n.抓痕；乱写；抓的声音； moan: 呻吟声抱怨声 collision: 碰撞冲突 e.g.The car was completely wrecked by the force of the collision. blade: 叶片刀刃刀锋 e.g. The blade needs sharpening. groan: v.呻吟；抱怨；发嘎吱声；受重压 n.呻吟；呻吟声 e.g. The girl groaned in pain. stir: 激起惹起
