Task1: Reasons for a Divorce
Script
W: I’m divorcing my husband.
M: How long have you been married?
W: Thirteen years.
M: Do you have children?
W: Yes, and I have to protect them from any more harm from my husband’s irresponsibility
W2: I did use the Internet. I posted an ad that read “Husband Wanted”. There were dozens of e-mail responses. But they all said pretty much the same thing: You can have mine.
As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.
“How does everything go?” her mother asked.
“Oh, Mom,” she began, “the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I’d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. You’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!” the new bride sobbed over the telephone.

Listening InTask 1: Reasons for a DivorceW: I'm divorcing my husband.M: How long have you been married?W: Thirteen years.M: Do you have children?W: Yes, and I have to protect them from any more harm from my husband's irresponsibility.M: So, what are your grounds for divorce?W: Well, first of all, he keeps changing jobs. We've had to move four times in thirteen years!M: And, you believe that will be good grounds for divorce?W: I do have a fight to stability for my children and myself, don't I?M: Aren't they his children, too?W: But my husband isn't fulfilling his duties!M: Is he paying the bills?W: Well, yes, but we just live around the poverty line. Our kids are being teased by other kids at school because we can't dress them in good clothes! We have to live in a small apartment and drive an old car!M: Does the car run?W: Yes, but, it looks OLD!M: Do you yell at him and call him names?W: Well, he yells at me!M: So, those are the reasons to not honor your husband. Are you going to give him joint custody in this divorce?W: No, just visitation fights.M: Why?W: Because the law permits me to.M: And, what about the financial demands of this divorce?W: I'm demanding half of all we have, which isn't much, and large support payments.Key: After thirteen years of marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, claiming that he is irresponsible. When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teased by other children for not dressing in good clothes.Also, they have to live in a small apartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells at her, though she admits she also yells at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation fights instead of joint custody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments. Task 2: What four-letter words?Dorothy was the only child of her family, born when her parents were middle-aged. They spoiled her badly. At the age of 33 she still lived at home. Her mother and father treated her like a princess. She seemed perfectly content with that situation, so her friends were surprised when she announced she would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn't last long. But for the present, she and her new husband appeared happy.As soon as the newly married couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother."How did everything go?" her mother asked."Oh, Mom," she began, "the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our way back, Bob started using really terrible language. Stuff I'd never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. Y ou've got to come get me and take me home. Please, Morn!" the new bride sobbed over the telephone."But, honey," the mother asked, "What four-letter words?""I can't tell you, Mom. They're too awful! Come get me, please!""Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used."Still sobbing, the bride said, "Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook."F 1. Dorothy's husband treated her badly.T 2. Dorothy did not get married until she was in her 30s.F 3. Dorothy enjoyed the honeymoon from the beginning to the very end.F 4. Dorothy cried because her husband swore at her.T 5. Dorothy wanted her mother to take her home.For Reference1. Words like dust, wash, iron, cook.2. She did not want to do housework.Task 3: A Woman who Chose Not to RemarryAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became a reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughters grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks whenever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit after every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinners with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest "someone special".But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, "Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it." There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughters and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. "Mom, I'm glad you didn't remarry," she said. "If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even considered suicide." At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was the fight choice for me.Questions:1. What was the speaker most afraid of?C) She would become a single parent.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A) The two daughters liked to stay alone.3. What did the speaker's colleague say?B) Children are harmed in their parents' remarriage.4. Which of the following is true?B) Children in blended families feel no better than in single-parent families.5. If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done?B) She might have killed herself.For ReferenceSingleness was the right choice for her (She was right in choosing to remain single)IV.

I'm having a hectic time working on this report for tomorrow's meeting.

We would wait forever if we waited for the "perfect" moment.Soon we'll be too old to enjoy having a baby.Bill: You know, you have a great point. This report can wait. I' 11 do it tomorrow morning.

So many people in the United States get divorced!Amy: But this is not uncommon in the West.

Never thought I was good enough for you.Amy: Well, you're not... But seriously, Mom's not so bad. She's just got a thick skin and likes to hide her feelings.Bill: I don't think so.Amy: Why not have both our families here for Christmas?Bill: That would make twenty-two of us if we invited everybody.Amy: Why not just have both our parents here for Christmas?Bill: Good idea.

Let’s TalkProblem with our educational systemIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, here's my story.Remarrying was the last thing I'd consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failures. More importantly, I wondered how. remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces.Since my parents have married and divorced eight times altogether, I hoped my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after the divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife.As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first time he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about how my son would actually respond to her. At first, John's affection for Maria was lukewarm.For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several months, he warmed up to her.Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still hesitant about remarrying. Now that you've heard my story, I hope you won't hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.Key:Changes in the speaker’s Attitude to Remarriage Reasons or Detailed DescriptionsFor two years after my divorce, remarriage was the last word I'd consider. 1. High rate of remarriage failures.2. Remarriage would affect my son.1) He drew a picture of the three of us.2) My parents married and divorced eight times and I hoped my son would have no such pain.3)My primary focus was my son, not a wife.I ignored my son's suggestion that I consider dating. He grew up and became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety.I reconsidered my reservations about dating and began to date Maria. The second time he brought the issue up.I was concerned about my son's response to her. At first his affection for her was lukewarm: his hug was mechanical; but several months later he warmed up to her.I asked Maria to marry me and she accepted. Seeing the time was ripe.Our family of two became a family of three. I believe my remarriage was the right choice.VI . Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: Early marriageAt the age of 21, Lisa has been married for three years to a young man she met just after finishing secondary school. He treated her well. She almost died during the birth of their first child, born a year after their marriage. The second child, born 18 months later, was also a girl. Lately she and her husband quarrel frequently. She wants to go to vocational school to learn skills to add to the family income-but his mother insists she stay home and produce a son.This example is by no means exceptional.Early marriage is common in many parts of the world. Early marriage usually leads to early motherhood. In some developing countries, 20 percent or even half of the women give birth to their first child before the age of 18 Expectations from parents, in -laws and society are to produce a child as soon after marriage as possible. Many young wives feel pressure to bear sons. This typically results in early and frequent pregnancies. In developing countries, more than half a million women die every year from causes related to pregnancy. There are four important reasons for these deaths. Births are either "too soon, too close, too many, or too late". According to statistics, it is young women who mostoften die during pregnancy.1. At what age did Lisa give birth to her first baby?B) 19.2. What does Lisa want?D) She wants to learn skills to earn wages.3. Why do women in some developing countries have babies early?A) They are facing pressure from both their relatives and the society4. What are the reasons women die from childbirth?D) All of the above.5. What is the main idea of the passage?C) Problems of early marriage.Task 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsA nuclear family is typical in higly-industiralized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the father typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children's principal care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care are occurring.Task 3:They are coming for Christmas.A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Christmas and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mom and I are divorcing. Forty-five years of misery is enough.""Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams."We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone."Oh, heck, they're getting divorced," she shouts. "I'11 take care of this." Losing no time, she calls her father and screams at him, "You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do any thing! DO YOU HEAR ME?" Then she quickly hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to his wife and says merrily, "Okay, they are coming back for Christmas and paying their own way." (192 words)1. He and the boy's mother are divorcing.2. Forty-five years of misery is enough. They can't stand the sight of each other any longer. They are sick of each other.3. He gets frantic and calls his sister.4. They will come back home to stop the parents from divorcing.5. He is happy, for his son and daughter will come back for Christmas and pay their own way.News Report: More Precious Than the DiamondPeople have long known the saying "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." But this may be changing. There's a new stone on the gem market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. The new colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania.The stone was named after its country of origin by New York's Tiffany and Co., which introduced it to the world. It draws one's attention quickly with its colors--blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably be fully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, "It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known., makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds.And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined."The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S.$10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying "Diamonds are forever" may lose some of its meaning.。

Listening InTask 2: How to select elective courses?ScriptConsider these tips on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best.To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you will never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding 10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on their study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others get up early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. One student said, “Whatev er I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know how to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”. 1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achieversstarting to study?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems with our educational systemScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students’ abilities and interest in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students I believe to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, you know, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others’. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they areTask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, theprofessor placed them in separate room, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.”Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.1.What is main idea of the passage?2.How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?3.What was the relationship between Harvard University and religionduring its early years?4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of PresidentPusey’s fundraising program?5.What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DUint 3Culture makes me what I amII. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom. M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius. Q: Why don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man?2.ScriptW:The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work. M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream. M:And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4. ScriptM: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.W:But do they enjoy life like you and me, or is money their only concern? Q: What are the two speakers’ at titudes toward successful entrepreneurs?5. ScriptW: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important?M: Yes, but we have to recognize that all of us are not of equal ability.Q: What does the man imply?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3. D 4.B 5.AIII. Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to compete from early childhood. When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies. Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab everyopportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others. Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan: I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great. Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world?Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s co mpetition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re eventaught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.What is the woman doing?3.What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4.What does the man say about students’ studies?5.What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competitionor cooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’ Work EthicScriptFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsivelly. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Cross-cultural ips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U. S., The U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China--the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is alao very important with the Americans and the British. But while it's important to be on time forbusiness meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a special event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In the business environment of those four countries, it is best to wear formal clothes of dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are rather common. However, don't be surprised if you go to an office in the U.K. on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies in the U.K. have "dress down Fridays", when people wear casual attire.In conversation, the British and the Americans love humor and talking about sports. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British, but you should avoid political talk. With the Russians, say positive things about their country, and avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can't change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with the Russians it's important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don't be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions!Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!Questions and key1.What is true of the Americans and the British in terms of punctuality?2.In which country do people have "dress down Fridays"?3.What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?4.How can you do business well with the Russians?5.What is the speaker's attitude toward the four nationalities? Keys: 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.CVI.Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. B ut they usually don’t try that at work. American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance.Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but t o experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do theydo?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for anappointment is fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships andschedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried ifthey let an opportunity pass by?5. What was Benjamin Franklin’s view of time?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DUint 4Taste the sweets and bitters of family life.II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptM: Amy, sit down, we need to talk. Your mother and I are going to separate. W: What! Are you crazy? You can’t do that! What will my friends say? I just want to have a normal family.Q: What is the girl saying?2. ScriptM:Good evening, Mrs. Jones. The manager sent you these roses and his best wishes to you both for a happy anniversary.W: Thank you. We like the room and the service here, and we especially appreciate the manager’s consideration/Q: What can we learn from the conversation?3. ScriptW: While I’m scrambling the eggs, could you put the flour into the bowl? M: You bet, darling. I’ll also turn the oven on so that it gets warmed up.Q: Where does this conversation probable take place?4. ScriptW: I have a very important meeting tonight, and I’m afraid I can’t miss it.M: But this evening is the parent s’meeting at school, and I was expecting you’d come to it. OK, I’ll phone Dad, maybe he and his girlfriend will come.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?5. ScriptW1:So you’re still single? If you’d listen to me and used the Internet, you’d have a husband by now.W2: I did use the Internet. I posted an ad that read “Husband Wanted”.There were dozens of e-mail responses. But they all said pretty much the same thing: You can have mine.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Keys: 1.C 2.A3.B 4.C 5.DIII. Listening InTask1: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not startin the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary fordual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Task 3:Views on filial piety see changeScriptWith fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety. Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conductd by the City University of Hong Kong.As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families.Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds. He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love. When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes. Others said that they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychologiacal health of their parents.According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously. Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care.Researcher Wong questioned the wisdon of adopting the new concept of government welware. He said, "A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent. How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?"He further pointed out that even when a socail security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give.Questions and key1.According to most of the respondents, who should take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly?2.Which of the following is a way for most respondents to show respectht and love for their old parents?3.Which of the following types of people have more loving care for their old parents?4.According to Researcher Wong, why is a welfare society not realistic in Hong Kong?5.What it the passage maily abou?1. A2. A3. A4. D5.CVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 2: Single-parent problemsScriptQuestion:Hi, I have been divorced for 8 years. My ex sees our child Maria on a relular basis. She is eight and in the second grade. My ex has a wife that is 20. My ex and his wife go to the school almost every day to see our daughter. Our daughter has failed the second grade and how has to repeat it. I have seen her grades plummet since those two started showing up at school. They are both very controlling and verbally abusive to me and to our daughter. I'm concernend about this. He forced my daughter to call his wife mommy.I am really tired of their unkind visits. I don't know what to do. If you have any advice to give me, I would be grateful. Thanks.Answer (by a woman psychiatrist):Hi, Diana. It's obvious to me that your daughter is having problems with the visits. I would suggest having a frank conversation with your daughter to see what she feels the problems are. If she says it is all these problems as you have stated above, I would try to talk to yout ex about her problems. I'll try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at school.If he is not responsive, then I'll take your daughter for counseling to help her.You can't make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should speng quality time with her and allow her to vent her feelings on you, and let her know you are always there for her no matter what happens. Try to keep her self-esteem high. When a child fails a grade, they will feel bad. Good Luck!Questions and key1.What does Diana think aobut the visits by her ex and his wife to her daughter?2.What has happened to the daughter's studies?3.What does the psychiatrist advise the woman to do first?4.What will the psychiatrist do to Diana's ex-husband?5.What is NOT advised by the psychiatrist for Diana to do?1.

(B)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONSConversation1 (Dr. Scott and Thomas Hunt talk about a man called Martin.)M 1: Dr. Scott, I have had some problems since my father died and left me all his money. Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true! Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Who was Martin?2. According to Martin, who did Thomas' father leave his money to?3. What did Thomas and his father argue about?4. How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5. Why did Dr. Scott say the story was clearly not true?Conversation 2M: Excuse me, madam.W: Yes?M: Would you mind letting me take a look in your bag?W: I beg your pardon?M: I'd like to look into your bag, if you don't mind.W: Well I'm afraid I certainly do mind, if it's all the same to you. Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker. And... and I use them for finding my way in the dark and...and for finding the keyhole late at night. And... and I happen to collect lighters.M: I bet you do, madam.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency?W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

But as this is happening so often recently, I think I have to see a doctor.B: I don‘t think it‘s so serious. Anyway, a bad memory helps you forget your trouble.V. Let’s T alkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:Y ou might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Y eah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A:It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Where did the professor go?toothbrush.T ask3: How to Remember NamesScriptY ou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. Y ou can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?

Listening InT ask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop. Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good. Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: Y ou‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar. Harrison: Y eah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good.But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading. When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.T ask 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.―Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖―I understand,‖said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. Y ou left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖―Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.―Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.―I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.―Y ou‘re outing your mind,‖yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖―Don‘t worry, honey,‖Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTT ask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?2.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the good thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3.

Thank you very much for your time.B:Y ou‘re welcomeV. Let’s T alkScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is ―Problems with Our Educational System‖.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don‘t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students‘ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there‘re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven‘t had the opportunities they could‘ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn‘t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can‘t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven‘t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called ―weak students‖are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they‘ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They‘re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that‘s prettykids in those classed are intelligent, but neverDebateSAMPLEA:Many ads about English classes for children say, ―Don‘t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.‖I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B:It‘s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adults。

You tried to pay last turn, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It‘s definitely your turn.Q: What is true according to the conversation?2.ScriptM: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this French exam. I just can‘t memorize all the vocabulary.W: Me too. I hate having to learn things by heart.I guess we just have to keep reading the texts over and over.Q: What does the woman prefer?3. ScriptW: Oh look! There‘s that guy we saw last week, playing football in the park! He looked great in his kit, remember?M: Him? I don‘t remember him. I‘ve got a terrible memory for faces. I have a hard time even recording people I‘ve been introduced to.Q: According to the conversation, what is the man‘s problem?4. ScriptM: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says ―keys‖?W: It‘s to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I‘m always locking myself out by accident! It doesn‘t help enough. Now I just forget to read the sign. Q: Why is there a sign on the back of the door?5. ScriptM: That history exam was really hard. The essay question was terrible!W: I know, I wish I were like David. He has a photographic memory, you know. How useful that would be!Q: What is true of David?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InScriptM: Tell me your secret. You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W:Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖.Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me?

This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the manpromise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply,you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see hename, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice3.ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop. Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good. Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar. Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hard-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading. When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.―Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖―I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖―Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.―Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.―I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.―You‘re outing your mind,‖yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖―Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by ―a n active reader‖?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3.

I already have two reports, two books reports, a composition, an oral report, and a research project—all due before midterms.Nora: We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit would rub off on you.Chris: Better yet, maybe you could do my homework for me.Nora: Forget it! That would be cheating.Chris: All right, all right. I have yet to write a term paper. Can you recommend any articles and books? You‘d better find me the exact pages where I can find whatI want.Nora: You could borrow ideas from references, but if you quote without giving the sources, you‘re plagiarizing.Chris: The quiz next week will be a headache. If you don‘t help me, I‘ll have to prepare some study sheets and hide them in my hand when I take the test. Nora: Oh, no! If you‘re caught, the professor will definitely give you an F.

Scientists all over the world over are even uncertain about the cause of the warm Pacific current that brings storms or drought—the mysterious EI Nino. Q: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?2. ScriptM: Everyone is talking about environmental problem: acid rain, the greenhouse effect, holes in the ozone layer. We should think positively. What can we do to improve things?W:I agree. We could do a lot more to harness the sun’s energy for heating and lighting in our homes. In Japan 43,000 solar roofs were installed in 2002.Q: How do the man and the woman view the environment?3. ScriptW: We lived in Beijing some years ago. It was always difficult to keep the house clean with wind from the north blowing sand from the desert at us.M: That’s why the Chinese government has been encouraging people to plant trees along the edges of the Gobi Desert. Now those trees act as wind barriers.Q: What did the government encourage people to do?4. ScriptM: Many old refrigerators and cars are environmental hazards because they contain CFCs that destroy the ozone layer.W: Yes, but government or organizations are helping people to safely dispose of old refrigerators or, in the case of cars, to upgrade their air conditioning.Q: What are government departments helping people to do?5. ScriptM: Hey, that’s an aerosol spray you’re using on your hair! Build a bomb or set fire to the apartment to kill us quickly instead of making holes in the ozone, so we die of cancer.W: Cool it, man. This spray doesn’t contain CFC s.

Umm…more now than before.Martha: What do you think is the most serious environment problem in the world today?Ed: Today…I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem; and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Umm…through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safely, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safely and stuff like that. Martha:Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on. And also to prevent more problems from occurring. Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Umm…I’d probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor on the ground.Martha:That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I’ m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.While being interviewed by Martha, Ed said more people in his culture respect nature ever before. When asked about the most serious environmental problem in the world today, he mentioned the damaged ozone layer and the pollution in big cities.Ed learned about environmental problem at school. A lot of clubs and some TV programs promote environmental safely. He believes that students should learn more about the environment at school. Then they can be more aware of all the problems and prevent more problems from occurring.When asked about a new law he would like to create to help the environment, he said that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them in the garbage bin. They should be fined if they throw them on the floor. Personally, Ed is so set against littering that he never litters. He always throws his trash into the garbage bin.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptAccording to a report by Australian researchers, the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica will probably start closing within five years. They say it may be completely closed within fifty years. The ozone layer protects the Earth from dangerous radiation from the sun. The hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica almost thirty years ago. At the time, it was three times the size of Australia.The report found that ozone-destroying gases in the upper atmosphere were at or near their highest levels in the year2000. But since then, there has bee continuous progress made toward the recovery of the ozone layer.Satellite information showed that levels of ozone-destroying gases in the atmosphere are slowly decreasing. At its largest this year, the ozone hole covered more than15 million square kilometers. That is down from a yearly average of 23 millionsquare kilometers over the last six years.Chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, are responsible for destroying part of the ozone layer over Antarctica. CFCs have been widely used since the1930s in cooling devices such as refrigerators and air conditioners. CFCs remain in the atmosphere for years.Government scientist say the level of chlorine in the atmosphere is decreasing because of restrictions on the use of chlorofluorocarbons. The chemicals were restricted under an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Under the Protocol, developing countries promoted to cut their use of chlorofluorocarbons in half by the year 2005. They also agreed to an eighty-five percent cut by the year 2oo7.Keys: FTTFTFor Reference1.It was three times the size of Australia.2.They promised to cut their use of CFCs in the half by 2005 and agreed to an 85percent cut by 2007.Task3: A Mild EI NinoScriptThe EI Nino weather condition has returned. However, official at the United States National Weather Service say EI Nino is weaker than usual this year. EI Nino is a change in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four or five years.Normally, water temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean increase near the end of the year. This cause more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby place.At the same time, cold ocean water cause less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during EI Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America, causing unusually high amounts of rainfall there. In contrast, EI Nino causes dry weather in Indonesia and Australia.A strong EI Nino can severely affect the weather all over the world. The last powerfulEI Nino was in 1997 and 1998. It caused major floods in many places. EI Nino also led to extremely dry weather in some other areas. Reports say the weather caused the deaths of about 24,000 people.So experts say having a weaker EI Nino this year is good news. Meteorologists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of EI Nino will begin to show in November in the United States. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say EI Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year’s powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.1.According to the passage, how often does EI Nino happen?2.What normally happens in the western Pacific Ocean?3.What did the EI Nino in 1997 and 1998 cause?4.What is NOT mentioned as a result of this year’s EI Nino?5.What is the central idea of the passage?Kes: 1C 2.A3.

A rain forest is any forest where heavy rainfall leads to dense vegetation. Tropical rainforests can be found in hoe, tropical areas, but there are also cool rainforests, including one in southeast Alaska.Chris: How did you know that?Susan: Well, I’ve just read a book on rainforests.

Now would you like to give adonation?Chris: Sure.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers. They are disappearing at a rate of 100 acres a minute!B:What a tragedy! , Many of the world’s plant and animal species exist only in rainforests.A: We really need to save the beautiful forests.B: Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to save them.A: Do you know our mayor is making a call to plant trees?B: Yeah, we do have to plant more trees. I hear China doesn’t have a lot of forests compared with many countries.A: That’s true. I’ve just read an article about afforestation. China’s forest coverage rate was 18.21percent last yea, ranking only 130th in the world.B: No wonder we have to plat more trees.A: Don’t lose heart. Progress has been remarkable.

A few days ago, a big sandstorm hit our cityJohn: Oh, that’s bad.Susan: The air was full of dirt and sand and dust. I had to wear a scarf around my head.John: The dust, as I know, comes from Mongolia. And from my reading in science, I’ve heard the dust often comes after a long period of drought.Susan: This is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and unfortunately our city is one of them.John: And if the drought continues, the soil is easily airborne. And then if the wind comes, the soil can be lifted up on the cold are that rises up, and it can travelvery long distances.Susan: Normally, when there’s a wind, it can clear the air,and you have beautiful weather. But when the dust is brought in with the wind, then you can’t breathe, you can’t see well, and it’s dangerous for driving, or for walking.John: Yeah. You know, when the dust is lifted up it can go as high 3,000 meters. And it’s not just China that has problems, but many other countries. For example, the middle of Australia sometimes has dust storms, and some of the dust goes up very high, goes across the ocean, and falls down on New Zealand.Susan: Not a very nice neighbor.John: I s there a solution to the problem?Susan: We need to plant more trees and grass so that the soil can stay where it is.

And when the wind came, the soil was swept up on the cold air, and it could travel very long distances.B: When the dust was brought in with the wind, we could hardly breathe, we couldn’t see well, and it was dangerous for driving.A: How did your town solve the problem?B: Not only our town. In fact, people in the whole province planted a lot of trees and grass so that the soil would stay where it is.A: I see. The government launched an afforestation project to deal with the sandstorm.The green shelter belt is playing a role.V. Let’s TalkScriptLi: Hi Professor Wang, I’m Li Lin, a correspondent from the University Newspaper. The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and development. What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time? Wang:There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, over-fishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid train, over-consumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, more and more people and governments have adopted a new idea; that is, “sustainable development”.This means today’s economic growth should not wipe out he resourcesand options for future generations. Planning and development shouldensure not only economic growth, but also social advancement andenvironment health. In other words, some economic behavior must berestricted or controlled. Instilling principles of development intogovernment planning, resource management and economic policy is themost important step China could take to solve its environmentalproblems.China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment. For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, thegovernment banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River inorder to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.Still, the basic contradiction between environment and development persists.Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balancebetween economic growth and the environment.Environment Problems air pollution, water pollution, desertification, over-fishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid train, over-consumption of wild animals and plants, etc.Central problems the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.A New Idea sustainable development; it means:(1)Today’s economic growth should not wipe out heresources and options for future generations.(2)Planning and development should ensure not onlyeconomic growth,but also social advancement and environment health.(3)some economic behavior must be restricted orcontrolledWhat China Could Do Instill principles of sustainable development into government planning, resource management andeconomic policyWhat China Has Done China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment.e.g. Following the huge floods of 1998, the governmentbanned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze RiverThe Aim A balance between economic growth and the environment. DebateSAMPLEA:In my opinion, we must give priority to economic growth. At present China’s economy is not strong enough, and the per-capita GDP is much smaller than those of advanced countries.B: I beg to differ. Compared with 30 years ago, the Chinese economy has developed a great deal, and at the same time it has produced a lot of pollution. It is high time we gave environmental conservation serous consideration.A:It seems to me that it’s more urgent for us to improve people’s life. If we don’t boost our economy, we can’t raise the living standards..B: I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that environmental problems are already affecting people’s lives. Didn’t you hear that the poisonous substances factories dump into rivers are killing fish and causing cancer among people?A:Well, you have a point there, but we should be aware that an economically backward nation is also militarily weak, and therefore it tends to be bullied by stronger countries.B: If China wants to follow the trend toward economic globalization, it has to meet the international environmental criteria. Even if you can make a lot of products, they can’t be exported if they are environmentally unfriendly.A: OK, people we’d better combine out point of view and strike a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation.B: That certainly makes sense. What we need is sustainable development.A: To achieve this goal, we have to burn less coal, petroleum and wood because they can’t e reproduced easily.B: Right on, we can rely more on solar energy. We can also make more use of water power if the dams we build don’t present great environmental hazards.A: Also, we should not build so many roads because they occupy so much farmland. B: Yeah, we should turn more to water transportation. By transporting more cargo along rivers and the coast, we can ease the burden on highway transportation.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Thick Cloud of Pollution Covering Southern Asia ScriptA United Nations study says that a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asiathreatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early deaths. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries and power stations. Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves hs made the problem worse. Many poor people burn of fuels wood and animal waste in such stoves.Scientists say this combination could be changing winter rainfall levels in Asia. They say rainfall has increased over the eastern coast of Asia. But it has dropped sharply over parts of northwestern Asia. The report says the cloud could reduce rainfall over northwestern Pakistan, Afghanistan, and western China by up to forty percent.Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall. This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health. Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next thirty years as the population of Asia increase to an Estimated 5,000 million people.1.What is the true of the cloud of pollution?2.What is NOT the cause of the cloud of pollution?3.What does the cloud of pollution bring about?4.Why will the pollution intensify in the next 30 years, according to the passage?5.What do you think is the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.CTask 2: Mountain regions face a number of dangers. ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of theworsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world’s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world’s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055. Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Task3: Digging a HoleScriptA fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, he bought a soft drink.He stood by his car to drink his cola ad watched two men working along the roadside.One worker would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other worker came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old hole.“Hold it, hold it,” the fellow said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?”“Well, we work for the country government,” one of the men said.“But one of you is digging a hole and the other is filling it up. You’re not accomplishing anything. Aren’t you wasting the country’s money?”“You don’t understand, mister,”one of the men said, learning on his shovel and wiping his brow. “Normally, there’s three of us, me, Joe, and Mike. I dig the hole, Joe sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back.”“Yeah,” piped up Mike. “Now Joe is sick but that doesn’t mean we can’t work, does it?”For Reference1.One worker would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The otherworker came along behind and filled in the hole.2. He asked them, “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?”/Heasked them what was going on there with that digging.3.Because one of them was digging a hole and the other was filling it up. They werenot accomplishing anything.4.Normally there were three of them, the worker who answered him, Joe and Mike.The first man dug the hole, Joe stuck in the tree, and Mike put the dirt back. News ReportSanta’s Hometown in DangerScriptWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are signs that Santa’s home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures.The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its warmest winter in 40 years. As a result, there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen, no snowballs and possible not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.More important for local residents, it may mean fewer tourists, as well. Santa’s wintry hometown normally attracts thousands of visitors each year, and millions of dollars.Anne Pelttari-Bergman, the town’s tourist director, worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal. She explains: “Snow is really important for us, of course. For Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism, and also for our winter tourism because winter is our best season. It is really important for us.”Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is a one-time thing.Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas.。

Book III Unit 01 With Alzheimer’s, you meet a lot of newpeopleII. Listening SkillsQuestion 1W: OK, it's your turn to pay the bill. I paid last time.M: What? You have a selective memory. You tried to pay last time, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It's definitely your turn.Q: What is true according to the conversation?Key: CQuestion 2M: I'm having real trouble reviewing for this French exam. I just can't memorize all the vocabulary. W: Me too, I hate having to learn things by heart. I guess we just have to keep reading the texts over and over.Q: What does the woman prefer?Key: DQuestion 3W: Oh look! There's that guy we saw last week, playing football in the park! He looked great in his kit, remember?M: Him? I don't remember him. I've got a terrible memory for faces. I have a hard time even recognizing people I've been introduced to.Q: According to the conversation, what is the man's problem?Key: AQuestion 4M: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says "keys"?W: It's to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I'm always locking myself out by accident!It doesn't help though. Now I just forget to read the sign.Q: Why is there a sign on the back of the door?Key: BQuestion 5M: That history exam was really hard. The essay question was terrible!W: I know, I wish I were like David. He has a photographic memory, you know.How useful that would be!Q: What is true of David?Key AIII. Listening InTask 1: Is your memory in good shape?M: Tell me your secret. Y ou're suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of- the-class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that linked studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: A w, that stuff's old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I'm talking about principles like "Mental Visualization", creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M" OK, that does sound different. Is "Association" a principle--you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you're familiar with?W: Right on! "Consolidation" is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate---or absorb--the new material into what I've already learned.M: You're moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I'm going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That's not the way. Follow the principle of "Distributed Practice". Shorter study sessions distributed over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you've got a good memory. But what about me? I've got a memory like a sieve.W: You're too modest. There's nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise.And don't forget it.Key: While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like "Mental Visualization", that is, creating a picture in one's mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of "Association", which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of "Consolidation", or reviewing one's notes after class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promises to study six-teen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of "Distributed Practice", which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: Y ou forgot my toast!An 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to t~elp them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, "Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?"Before the old man left, she added, "Why don't you write that down so you won't forget?""Nonsense," said the husband, "I can remember a dish of ice cream !""Well," said the wife, "I'd also like some strawberries on it. Y ou'd better write that down because I know your memory is failing.""Don't be silly," replied the husband. "There're only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!"With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, "Hey, you forgot the toast!"F 1. The couple went to their doctor to have a complete physical checkup.T 2. At first the wife asked the husband to get her only ice cream.F 3. The husband refused to write a note, for he believed he could remember the toast.F 4. Finally, the husband brought the wife both ice cream and strawberries.F 5. The wife blamed the husband for forgetting to bring her ice cream and strawberries.For Reference1. He thought he could remember two things--a dish of ice cream and some strawberries.2. She took one look at the plate, glanced up at him, and blamed him for forgetting her toast.Task 3: Memory-Improving TechniquesThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced here.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer; if you work with sales, learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that it continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don't try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don't allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating on that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person's name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his name. Questions:1. What seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one's memory?A) Learning different things.2. What seems to be the best way to focus your attention?C) Concentrating only on what is important.3. How can you concentrate on a pen?D) Y ou can focus on its features.4. How can you relax yourself according to the passage?B) You can stop breathing in for a short time, and then breathe out slowly.5. What is the main idea of the passage?D) Memory-developing skills.For ReferenceStimulating one's memory, paying attention (or focusing/concentrating one's attention), relaxing, and making associations.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 It slipped my mind!Amy: I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.Bill: That's good. Now what should we do?Amy: We've got to plan the menu.Bill: Oh, that's right. Do you have anything in mind?Amy: I think I'm going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party. Remember I asked the chef for the recipe?Bill: Yeah, but did you forget that Linda doesn't eat chicken?Amy: Linda? Oh, my gosh! I forgot to invite Linda! It just slipped my mind. She'll be mad at me. Bill: Well, everyone forgets something sometimes. It's not too late yet. I'll make a phone call. Don't worry.Amy: Thanks! You see, I'm getting forgetful. I think I'm getting old!Bill: Looks like you are, sweetheart.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I'm going to throw a party, and I've sent out the invitations to my friends and relatives.B: That's good. But don't forget to invite everyone you should invite.A: I think I've invited everyone. Do you have anybody in mind?B: Did you invite John? He's lost his job after a recent quarrel with his boss.A: Oh, my gosh! I forgot to invite him! He'll be sad, thinking we look down on him. He just slipped my mind.B: Well, everyone forgets something sometimes. Don't worry. It's not too late. Make a phone call right away.A" Did I forget anybody else that I should invite?B: There's yet another person you should invite--Julia. She's just moved to the city and feels lonely. A: Oh, good heavens, I forgot all about her. She's our new friend. You see, I'm getting forgetful. I think I'm getting old!B: Looks like you are, buddy. You'd better start writing things down if they're important.MODEL 2 I can’t think of it off the top of my headJohn: Hey, Sue. Do you know what Jack's home phone number is?Susan: I can't think of it off the top of my head. I don't have my address book on me, and I don't have my mobile phone with me, either.John: That's too bad! I've got to find him now. It's urgent! If I can't find him today, I'll be dead! Susan: You might want to look it up in the phone book.John: I've checked already, but it seems that his phone number is unlisted.Susan: Maybe it's under his roommate's name.John: Well, I guess so.Susan: Well, why don't you call Jane? She has his phone number.John: I've tried, but no one answered!Susan: Maybe call his office and ask his secretary.John: I've already tried. She won't tell me. She says it's private.Susan: Oh, that's right. They usually don't release private information over the phone.John: It's a pity. You usually have a powerful memory, but you can't help today. What's wrong with you? Your memory seems to be fading early.Susan: It's not that my memory is fading. I do have a good memory for faces and names, but a poor one for numbers and dates.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, do you remember when is the lecture on the value of information by Professor Smith?B: I can't think of it off the top of my head. Maybe we can look it up in our notebooks, but I don't have mine with me.A: That's too bad! I don't have it with me, either. Do you remember the number of the lecture hall? B: Sorry, I can't think of it off hand.A: I'm terribly interested in the lecture. I can't miss it!B: Well, why don't you call the dean who arranged the lecture?A: I'm afraid it's not very wise to ask the dean directly.B: Then maybe you can call the office of the department and ask the secretary.A: I've already tried, but no one answered.B: Oh!A: You usually have a powerful memory, but you can't help today. Your memory seems to be fading early.B: It's not that my memory is fading. I do have a good memory for faces and names, but a poor one fornumbers and dates.MODEL 3 What’s wrong with your memory?Bill: Hi, honey! My trip to London was wonderful.Amy: Tell me what thrilled you most.[The telephone rings and Bill answers it....He hangs up. ]Bill: Er, where was I?Amy: You were talking about your tour in London.Bill: Oh, yeah.Amy: I bet you had a great time.Bill: Yes, I particularly enjoyed visiting the Tower of London.Amy: How did you get there? By bus or underground?Bill: Let me see....Sorry, I can't remember any more.Amy: What's wrong with your memory?Bill: I hope it's not Alzheimer's disease. I don't want to forget my own name.Amy: I don't think so. Perhaps it's just temporary forgetfulness. You'll be all right after a good sleep. Bill: I hope so. But as this is happening so often recently, I think I must go to see a doctor and get some pills.Amy: It's not as serious as that. Anyway, I wish you had a good memory for happy events, and a bad one for unhappy things.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, my trip to Beijing was fantastic.B: Tell me what interested you most.[The door bell rings and A answers it....A comes back.]A: Well, where was I?B: You were talking about your tour in Beijing.A: Oh, yeah.B: I bet you had a great time.A: Yes, I particularly enjoyed visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, though the admission fees were a bit too high for me.B: What were the fees?A: Let me see....Sorry, I can't remember any more.B: What's wrong with your memory?A: I hope it's not Alzheimer's disease. I don't want to see a lot of new people everyday.B: I don't think so. Perhaps you only forget things momentarily. You'll be all right after a good sleep. A: I hope so. But as this happens so often recently, I think I have to go to see a doctor.B: I don't think it's so serious. Anyway, a bad memory helps you to forget your troubles.V. Let’s TalkHow to improve your MemoryStudent: Professor, thank you for granting me this interview. I'm Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficulty memorizing things. Since you're anoutstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how to improve our memory? Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that's largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I'm not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with otherimages. For example, if you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say,carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot,and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I'd visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there's another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys. Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys -- their feel, the sounds they make. Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed them in a drawer or the cold touch of the keys in your jacket where you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It's time for my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Key:Ways ofImprovingOne’s MemoryExamplesCreating images To remember theitems to buy at thegrocery store such ascarrots, eggs,bananas, and milkImages that may help:1. a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrotand banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with the sound and touch that mayhelp:1. The sound of the keys might remind you ofhaving placed them in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind youof them in your jacket.VI . Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: The role Memory Plays in Our LifeSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improve memory. Here are some factors they believe to be important in expanding memory capacity. To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential for your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesized vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Rosewell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can causeconfusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a good memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has received. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one's ability to concentrate. Also, one's ability to store information would be affected.Keys:1. What is the passage mainly about?A) Factors related to memory development.2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?B) They contain vitamins.3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?D) Older people.4. What problem can a lack of water cause?D) All of the above.5. Why is sleep important to memory?C) Sleep helps the brain to revise and store information.Task 2: Where did the professor go?This is a true story, which happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they had invited a retired professor to supper. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after about 40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he had been doing in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task 3: How to Remember NamesYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, "This is Don Smith". About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that "this guy" will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can't think of his name although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your "memory bank" each time you hear someone's name, and within a short time the "repeating" process can be discontinued.When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about his or her appearance, position, or actions that "ties in" with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name on the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the "picture" in your mind's eye as you look at the name; or when you see the name, visualize the "picture" you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.For Reference1. Maybe we can't think of the name.2. We can repeat the name back to the person.3. We can repeat the name. In addition, we can visualize something different, unusual, or ridiculous about his or her appearance, position, or actions that "ties in" with his or her name.4. The descriptive information on one side of the card and the name on the other side.5. We can look at it repeatedly, see the "picture" in our mind's eye as we look at the name; or when we see the name, visualize the "picture" we have assigned to the name.News Report: A Dolphin ExhibitionA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man's most intelligent friend, the dolphin. The "Dolphins on Parade" exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorated dolphin paintings made of wood and other materials. The dolphins were shown at area businesses and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S.$750 to cover the artists' fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is a real dolphin, at the Dolphin Research Center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting, holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。

When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teasedby other children for not dressing good clothes. Also, they had to live in a small apartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells at her, though she admits she also yell at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation rights instead of joint custody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments.T ask 2: What four-letter words?ScriptDorothy was the only child of her family, born when her parents were mid-aged. They spoiled her badly. At the age of 33 she still lived at home. Her mother and father treat her like a princess. She seemed perfectly content with that situation, so her friends were surprised when she announced she would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn‟t last long. But for the present, she and her new husband approached happy.As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.“How does everything go?” her mother asked.“Oh, Mom,”she began, “the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I‟d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. Y ou‟ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!” the new bride sobbed over the telephone.“But, honey,” the mother asked, “What four-letter words?”“I can‟t tell you, Mom. They‟re too awful! Come get me, please!”“Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used.”Still sobbing, the bride said, “Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook.”Keys: FTFFTT ask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks whenever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.”There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I‟m glad you didn‟t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.1.What was the speaker most afraid of?2.Which of the following is NOT true?3.What did the speaker‟s colleague say?4.Which of the following is true?5.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done?

Let’s T alkScriptIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that‟s my story.Remarried is the last thing I‟d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife. As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John‟s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I askedMaria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that you‟ve heard my story, I hope you won‟t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.DebateSAMPLEA: On the whole I don‟t support remarriage. Too many remarriages have turned out to be unsuccessful and end in divorce.B:If you say many remarriages have failed, that means other remarriages have survived, or even bloomed. We should not only look at the dark of the issue.A:But ther e‟re too many factors contribute to the failure of a second marriage. Forexample, as you become older, you may find it increasingly difficult to adjust to a different pattern of life with a new mate. Once there‟s a conflict neither is willing to give in.B: There‟re conflicts everywhere, but you should not neglect that an adult has psychological and physical needs. Without a companion, one may feel lonely and anxious.A: In a new family the husband tends to compare his new wife‟s weak point with his ex-wife‟s strong point. And the wife does the same.B: I wish you‟d seen the film The Sound of Music. The governess Maria blended so smoothly into the Captain‟s family.A:It is not easy for children to accept the new mother or father. It is simply impossible for them to forget their birth-mother‟s loving care and the happy moments in their childhood.B: But how happy are the Captain‟s seven children with their adopted mother Maria! If the new mother shows genuine care for the kids, they will gradually warm to her. On the other hand, many children in a single-parent family are under psychological pressure and suffer from anxiety attack. So, the single life is not the right choice. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: Early MarriageScriptAt the age of 12, Lisa has been married for three years to a young man she met just after finishing secondary school. He treated her well. She almost died during the birth of their first child, born a year after their marriage. The second child, born 18 months later, was also a girl. Lately she and her husband quarrel frequently. She wants to go to vocational school to learn skills to add to the family income, but his mother insists she stay home and produce a son.This example is by no means exceptional. Early marriage is common in many parts of the world. Early marriage leads to early motherhood. In some developing countries, 20 percent or over half of the women give birth to their first child before the age of 18.Expectations from parents, in-laws and society are to produce a child as soon as possible. Many young wives feel pressure to bear son. This typically results in early and frequent pregnancies.In developing countries, more than half a million women die every year from causes related to pregnancy. There are four important reasons for these deaths. Birth are either “too soon, too close, too many, or to late”. According to statistics, it is young women who most die during pregnancy.1.At what age did Lisa give birth to her first child?2.What does Lisa want?3.Why do women in some developing countries have babies early?4.What are the reasons women die from childbirth?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.D3.A 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children‟s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company‟s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.T ask3: They are coming for Christmas,ScriptA man in Phoenix calls his son in New Y ork the day before Christmas and says, “Ihate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mom and I are divorcing, Forty-five years of misery is enough..”“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.“We can‟t stand the sight of each other any longer,”the father says. “We‟re sick of each other, and I‟m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.”Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.“Oh, heck, they‟re getting divorced,”she shouts. “I‟ll take care of this.”Losing no time, she call her father and screams at hi m, “Y ou are not getting divorced. Don‟t do a single thing until I get there. I‟m calling my brother back, and we‟ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don‟t do anything! DO YOU HEAR ME?”Then she quickly hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to his wife and says merrily, “Okay, they are coming back for Christmas and paying their own way.”For Reference:1. He and the boy‟s mother are divorcing.2. Forty-five years of misery is enough. They can‟t stand the sight of each other any longer. They‟re sick of each other.3. He gets frantic and calls his sister.4. They will come back home and stop the parents from divorcing.5. He is happy, for his son and daughter will come back for Christmas and pave their‟s best friend.” But this maystone market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. The new colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New Y ork‟s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one‟s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably be fully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, “It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.”The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying “Diamonds are forever”may lose some of its meaning.Uint4II. Basic Listening Practice3.ScriptM: Did you pick up the paper for me today? I really want to check the job vacancies.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we‟ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager‟s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager‟s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down …I don‟t‟ know‟, and you put down …Neither do I‟.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.T ask3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared isalways the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. Y ou can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. Y ou can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” Y ou should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.6.What is the passage mainly concerned with?7.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?8.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?9.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”10.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3.

M: So that's where you learned it... from your parents?W: My parents were good. They raised three children.二、passageAll parents want to raise a happy, successful and lowing child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramaticalty different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their ba by cry himseHto sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the 口ature of chrldren and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social To them, their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method.None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be. But some things are certain -* a child will be more likely to be loving if you shew him love, more successful if you give him examples of success, and happie『tf you are happy.3.

Since then rodents, cattle, pigs, and other animals have, like Dolly, also been cloned from adult animals. Despite these successes T producing cloned mammals is enormously difficult, with most attempts ending in failure・Cloning succeeds four percent of the time in species that have already been successfully cloned. In addition, some studies have indicated that cloned animals are less healthy than normally reproduced animals.In 2001, researchers in Massachusetts announced that they were trying to clone humans in an attempt to extract stem cells. The National Academy of Sciences, while announcing support for such so-called therapeutic or research cloning in 2001, announced they opposedthe cloning of humans for reproductive purposes in 2002. They said it was unsafe.Ethicists, religious and politicat leaders, and others have called for a ban on human cloning for any purpose. They were especially worried when South Korean scientists announced in 2004 that they had cloned 30 human embryos. However, an investigabon in 2005 determined that the data had been fabricated.Unit 9「、short conversationsM： You want me to sign a premarital agreement? And you think fm going to do this? Incredible!

Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‟t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‟t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‟s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‟s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‟s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?VI.Further Listening and SpeakingPage 13T ask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Uint2III. Listening InPage 20Keys: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DT ask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the finalexamination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‟s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‟s message”.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?10.What is the main idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 29T ask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A”so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn‟t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn‟t have a spare, and couldn‟t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Uint3III. Listening InPage 35Keys: 1C 2.A3. B 4.B 5.BT ask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.”There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I‟m glad you didn‟t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.11.What was the speaker most afraid of?12.Which of the following is NOT true?13.What did the speaker‟s colleague say?14.Which of the following is true?15.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done? VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 42T ask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20thcentury, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children‟s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company‟s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Uint4III. Listening InPage 49Keys: 1C 2.C3. B 4.A 5.DT ask3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. Y ou can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. Y ou can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” Y ou should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in theadvertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16.What is the passage mainly concerned with?17.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?18.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?19.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”20.What should you say when asked about your strong points?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 58T ask 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewScriptWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It‟s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it‟s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it‟s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won‟t be the end of the world if you don‟t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence.Y our ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it‟s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It‟s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn‟t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don‟t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you‟d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it‟s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.Uint5Page 64Keys: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InT ask3: Where to Start Y our BusinessScriptY ou have to consider the location when launching a business. Y ou will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. Y ou have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Y our address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21.What is the speaker mainly talking about?22.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from yourhome?23.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24.What will the recruiting money tell you?25.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 73T ask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individualcommercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Unit 6Page 80Keys: 1D 2.A 3. B 4.C 5.III. Listening InT ask3: Fighting T een SmokingScriptThe percentage of teens who smoke cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Y outh Risk Behavior Survey. It‟s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens‟motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won‟t have much effect on teen who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don‟t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that still means morethan one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today‟s young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement.26.What percentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?27.What happened in the 1990s, according to the speaker? Useful for reducing teensmoking according to the speaker?28.What is especially useful for reducing teen smoking according to the speaker?29.What is the bad news mentioned in the passage?30.What is the main idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 90T ask 2: Drinking, Gambling and GolfScriptA man was walking in the city when he was accosted by a particularly dirty-looking bum, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?”“No, I stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said.“Will you use it to gamble?”“I don‟t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive?”“Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?””Are you nuts? I haven‟t played golf for 20 years!”The mad said, “Well, I‟m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I‟m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”The bum was surprised, “Won‟t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I …m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.”The man replied, “That‟s OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who‟d given up drinking, gambling, and golf.”Uint7Page 97Keys: 1C 2.A3. D 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InT ask3: A Mild EI NinoScriptThe EI Nino weather condition has returned. However, official at the United States National Weather Service say EI Nino is weaker than usual this year. EI Nino is a change in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four or five years. Normally, water temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean increase near the end of the year. This cause more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby place. At the same time, cold ocean water cause less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during EI Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America, causing unusually high amounts of rainfall there. In contrast, EI Nino causes dry weather in Indonesia and Australia.A strong EI Nino can severely affect the weather all over the world. The last powerful EI Nino was in 1997 and 1998. It caused major floods in many places. EI Nino also led to extremely dry weather in some other areas. Reports say the weather caused the deaths of about 24,000 people.So experts say having a weaker EI Nino this year is good news. Meteorologists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of EI Nino will begin to show in November in the United States. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say EI Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year‟s powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.31.According to the passage, how often does EI Nino happen?32.What normally happens in the western Pacific Ocean?33.What did the EI Nino in 1997 and 1998 cause?34.What is NOT mentioned as a result of this year‟s EI Nino?35.What is the central idea of the passage?VI. Further Listening and SpeakingPage 107T ask 2: Mountain regions face a number of dangers. ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world‟s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world‟s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South Americaare among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year. In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.。

Listening InTask 2: How to select elective courses?ScriptConsider these tips on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best.To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you will never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world.Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding 10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence.

My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students’ abilities and interest in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids have lost their interest inlearning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students I believe to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, you know, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others’. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but they never actuallyTask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.

Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.1.What is main idea of the passage?2.How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?3.What was the relationship between Harvard University and religion during itsearly years?4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey’sfundraising program?5.What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DUint 3Culture makes me what I amII.

Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to compete from early childhood.When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies.Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan:I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great.Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world? Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s competition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say.

It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritanswho first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their (S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to foll ow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsivelly. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Cross-cultural ips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U. S., The U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China--the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is alao very important with the Americans and the British. But while it's important to be on time for business meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a special event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In the business environment of those four countries, it is best to wear formal clothes of dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are rather common. However, don't be surprised if you go to an office in the U.K. on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies in the U.K. have "dress down Fridays", when people wear casual attire.In conversation, the British and the Americans love humor and talking about sports. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British, but you should avoid political talk. With the Russians, say positive things about their country, andavoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can't change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with the Russians it's important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don't be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions! Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!Questions and key1.What is true of the Americans and the British in terms of punctuality?2.In which country do people have "dress down Fridays"?3.What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?4.How can you do business well with the Russians?5.What is the speaker's attitude toward the four nationalities?Keys: 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.CVI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other p eople’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time andopportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do they do?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for an appointmentis fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships and schedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let anopportunity pass by?5.

Listening InTask1: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Task 3:Views on filial piety see changeScriptWith fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety. Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conductd by the City University of Hong Kong.As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families. Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds. He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love. When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes. Others said that they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychologiacal health of their parents.According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously. Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care.Researcher Wong questioned the wisdon of adopting the new concept of government welware. He said, "A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent. How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?"He further pointed out that even when a socail security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give.Questions and key1.According to most of the respondents, who should take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly?2.Which of the following is a way for most respondents to show respectht and love for their old parents?3.Which of the following types of people have more loving care for their old parents?4.According to Researcher Wong, why is a welfare society not realistic in Hong Kong?5.What it the passage maily abou?1.

I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife. As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was。

VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don‟t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It‟s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can‟t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.1.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?2.Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?3.Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individualcommercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,”he said, “give me your email address, and I‟ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don‟t have a computer or an email.”“I‟m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don‟t have an email, that means you don‟t exist. And whoever doesn‟t exist can‟t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn‟t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family‟ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don‟t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1.“If you don‟t have an email that means you don‟t exist.

That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft‟s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today‟s economy.Unit 6II.

Don‟t you think the government just squanders our hard-earned tax on some unnecessary projects?Alan: Sure, someone they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don‟t mind paying taxes. If I‟m paying income tax, it means I‟m earningwould be much lower.Pamela: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lower.Alan: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the situation is complex: sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.Pamela: Then they should take the needed training—upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable.Alan:Training and upgrading cost money. Some government tax dollars are directed to programs that help the poor get jobs.Pamela:But even when jobs are available, some of the unemployed don‟t want to work. They would rather have a handout.Alan: It‟s partly a matter of education. Some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent oncharity.Pamela: I think the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate.That would put more money into people‟s pockets, then they would spendmore, and the spending would create more jobs for the poor.Alan:Many people would agree with you.Alan‟s accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts wit her. Pamela complains that the government just squanders people‟s hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lower. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already directed to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs.When Pamela says some of the unemployed don‟t want to work, preferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerScriptIn a bar a guy told the bartender, “I‟m a professional gambler; I‟ve made of lots of money from gambling.”The bartender answered, “I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?”“Well, I only bet on sure things,” said the guy.“Like what?” asked the bartender.The bartender thought about it, “Okay,” he said.So the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it, “Ah, you screwed me,” said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.“I‟ll give you another chance. I‟ll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,” said the stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, “Well, I can see you‟re not blind. I‟ll take that bet.”So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbles up to the bartender and said, “Bartender, I‟ll give you one last chance. I‟ll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.”The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now, “Okay, you‟re on,” he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but no a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, “Hey, pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!”The guy said, “That‟s okay. I just bet the guys in the card room1, 000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but you still laugh!”Keys: TFTFTFor Reference1.Because not a drop tomato juice fell into the whiskey bottle, and he was to win thebet of 500 dollars.2.Because he just bet the guys in card room1, 000 buck each that he could dumptomato juice all over the bartender and still make him laugh.Task3: Fighting Teen SmokingScriptThe percentage of teens who smoke cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. It‟s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens‟motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensiveprogram to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won‟t have much effect on teen who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don‟t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that still means more than one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today‟s young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement.1.What percentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?2.What happened in the 1990s, according to the speaker?

Speaking OutMODEL 1 Nursing home abuse is a national epidemic. John: Nora, what are you doing? What are these notes about?Nora: Well, they are for a 1,000 word essay on abuse on the elderly, due Monday. John: That‟s a big topic. What made you decide to write about that subject?Nora: G ranny‟s going into a nursing home. And this essay is driving me crazy. John: Narrow down the topic. Pick one aspect, like nursing home. Do an outline. Nora: You mean list the ideas under headings: Introduction, Body, and the Conclusion?John: Yes. In the Introduction, say people live longer now, crowing nursing homes. Nora: Then maybe in the Body I can explain how the owners try to save money on food and care.John: Right. Here I see a good quotation: “Nursing home abuse is a national epidemic.”Nora:I have statistics: 500 homes inspected; in one-third, care was substandard. John:Mention government offices and lawyers who‟ll help in cases of abuse.Nora: Then, I think I can summarize the main ideas about the helpless elderly in the Conclusion.John: Good. When you‟ve written a first draft, read it aloud to eliminate awkward spots.Nora: I‟m feeling a lot better about this essay and a lot less worried about Granny now.John: The essay is a piece of cake; but ensuring Granny‟s OK is a lot harder.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Oh, Bobby, so you‟ve come to see me again.B: How are you doing? Hope everyone is OK here.A: My God, I can hardly bear the life here. This nursing home is driving crazy.B: What‟s wrong?>A: You see, there are to many old people here, but far too small a staff.B: Yeah, that‟s probably because people live longer now, crowding nursing homes. A: So we can hardily get attention. The owner tries to save money on food and care. B: I see, nursing home abuse is now a very common problem. I heard of one survey with statistics: 300 homes were inspects, and in nearly half of them care was substandard.A: Sometimes they even beat me. I don‟t know where and how I can get help.B: I n theory government offices and lawyers can help you in cases of abuse.A: But it is inconvenient for me to contact government offices again and again, and I‟m too poor to hire a lawyer.B: OK, aunt, since it‟s hard to ensure you‟re Ok here, I‟ll take you home.

Chris: That‟s a sad story.Nora: More inspiring than sad. She got help and stopped. Now she helps others. Isn‟t that wonderful?Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, John, I‟m so glad to see you are back!B: It‟s nice to be home again, Mom.A: Oh, you smell terribly of alcohol and tobacco. You didn‟t smoke or drink before you left home a year ago. How did you get hooked?B: As an assistant engineer, I had to work might shifts often. I felt lonely and began to drink and smoke. That helped me to relax.A: So gradually you drank more and more?B: Yeah, first it was a drink at night, then two, then a bottle, and then I drank to wake up.A: Oh, I simply can‟t imagine my handsome son to be a drunk and a heavy smoker now.

You know, he has got a gambling problem. You can‟t understand gambling as an addiction unless you‟ve been hooked.Susan: Apparently it‟s like being addicted to drugs or alcohol. You just want more and more.Chris: It‟s exactly like alcoholism; it takes over you life. It‟s on your mind constantly. Susan: Yeah, like some horrible disease. But you can get help.Chris: My brother tried to stop, but he felt restless…bad tempered. His nerves were always on edge.Susan: Did he try Gamblers Anonymous? It‟s a self-help group with experience just like his.Chris: Yeah, he‟s not alone. It‟s estimated there are 10 million addicts in America. Susan: I don‟t want to nag him, but isn‟t it a question of taking control of his life? Chris: I see your point, but he‟s a compulsive gambler.Susan: I know.

Let’s TalkScriptToday I‟ll be presenting a report on our findings on the condition of the world‟s population. It may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on lessthan two dollars a day, and one billion people live on less than one dollar a day.I‟m going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issues. We must work fast if we hope to reduce poverty by half, by the year 2015.Our survey shows that the first step should be to improve health-care systems. In the world‟ poorest countries, people are expected to live just 49 years. One in ten children doesn‟t reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor-care systems, especially pregnant women.The second job we have to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. WeDiscussionSAMPLEA:To reduce poverty, it is very important to lower birth rates, as the speaker suggested in his lecture.B:True. Smaller families have fewer expenses and more chances to increase their earning and savings.A:Moreover, developing countries with lower birth rates have had faster economic growth.B: It‟s equally important to popularize education.A: Yes, investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated women, you know, have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. B: Moreover, they tend to send their children to food school s so that they will climb the social ladder.A: The speaker also mentions the necessity to improve the health-care system. In fact, poor health and poverty are linked.B: I agree. If you are not in good health, you can‟t work well to get good pay. What‟s more, you have to spend lots of money on seeing doctors.A: Some countries are economically backward, so they try to develop a powerful tourism industry, and in this way they earn a lot of money.B: I think it is more important for them to develop their national economy. With fast economic growth, many people will shake off poverty.A: Poverty can be alleviated further by economic aid from rich countries.B: But I think technological aid from advanced countries can be more significant.With better technology, poor countries can develop faster on their on,. As the Chinese saying goes, it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish.A: If less developed countries are allowed to export more of their workforce, they can earn more foreign currency.B: This requires developed nations to lower their tariff barriers.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Held Back Because I Speak SpanishScriptI was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes—classes of English as aSecond Language. I was also put in the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got the highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There as no reason for me to be in any of those classes.When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to the school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESL classes, but the school fought it very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why—for every student the school had in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive$400. This was pretty devastating. The school‟s only excuse for keeping me there was because I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program until I was in the fifth grade.Then parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced it. SO I didn‟t have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too “Spanish” for tem.6.What kind of class does the speaker think he should attend?7.What was the real reason the speaker was placed in a Limited English Proficiencyclass?8.What was the excuse the school used to put the speaker in an ESL class?9.How did the speaker perform in the regular English class?10.When the speaker described his first school, what were his feeling?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.ATask 2: Drinking, Gambling and GolfScriptA man was walking in the city when he was accosted by a particularly dirty-looking bum, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?”“No, I stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said.“Will you use it to gamble?”“I don‟t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive?”“Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?””Are you nuts? I haven‟t played golf for 20 years!”The mad said, “Well, I‟m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I‟m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”。

新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册答案Uint1 II. Basic Listening Practice1. Script W: Ok. It‘s your turn to pay the bill. I paid last time.M: What? You have a selective memory. You tried to pay last turn, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It‘s definitely your turn. Q: What is true according to the conversation?2. Script M: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this French exam. I just can‘t memorize all the vocabulary.W: Me too. I hate having to learn things by heart. I guess we just have to keep reading the texts over and over. Q: What does the woman prefer?3. Script W: Oh look! There‘s that guy we saw last week, playing football in the park! He looked great in his kit, remember? M: Him? I don‘t remember him. I‘ve got a terrible memory for faces. I have a hard time even recording people I‘ve been introduced to. Q: According to the conversation, what is the man‘s problem?4. Script M: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says ―keys‖?W: It‘s to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I‘m always locking myself out by accident! It doesn‘t help enough. Now I just forget to read the sign. Q: Why is there a sign on the back of the door?5. Script M: That history exam was really hard. The essay question was terrible!W: I know, I wish I were like David. He has a photographic memory, you know. How useful that would be! Q: What is true of David? Keys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InScript M: Tell me your secret. Yo u‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in you r mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notes right after c lass and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one’s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one’s notes after class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “Distributed Practice”,which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖ “Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖“Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScript There are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her. First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function. Older people need to pay atte ntion to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen. Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous. So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly. Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1. What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2. What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3. How can you concentrate on a pen?4. How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5. What is the main idea of the passage? Keys: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScript：Since memory plays a significant role in our life, scientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store informationwould be affected.1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4. What problem can a lack of water cause?5. Why is sleep important to memory? Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?Script：This is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScript：You just call ed the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖. About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone. This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinued When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something di fferent, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other si de. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name. Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News Report：A Dolphin ExhibitionScript：A recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials. There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for. Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth. The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2 II. Basic Listening Practice1.

Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought t he books for this biology class.Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop. Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome. Professor: All right. See you guys next week. Student: See you. Jenny: Harrison, wait up! Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture? Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head. Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot. After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading. When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScript：Robert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help. “Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖“I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖“Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.‖Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answeredMom.‖You‘re outing your mind,‖ yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖‖Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, b ut I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScript: It is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers. First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation. Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination. Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, ho wever, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?7. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8. What is the good thing all top students agree on?9. What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?10. What is the main idea of the passage? Keys: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DVI. Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Harvard UniversityScript: Harvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners. During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group. Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard‘s physical facilities.Neil L.

They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had ―A‖ so far for the semester. These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn‘t make it back to school until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn‘t have a spare, and couldn‘t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final. The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin. They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. ―Cool,‖ they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, ―This is going to be easy.‖ Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: ―Which of the tires was flat?‖Task3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityScript: International students often underestimate the amount of time required to apply for admission to a college or university in the United States. You should avoid this mistake by setting yourself a schedule that starts well in advance of the time you hope to begin your studies. When setting this timetable, always remember that doing things early is the best way forward. To find the institution or program that will best serve your academic or professional goals, allow yourself sufficient time to research thoroughly your options. Then meet the application deadlines of the university to which you apply. These may be as much as 10 months before the school term. The need for an early start holds true even if you can apply on the Internet. University websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests, in time to meet application deadlines. In fact, although some students did score high on TOEFL and GRE, they were not admitted because they failed to meet the deadline.For Reference:1.

For Britain‘s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International. The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm. He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions. Those who took part, called ―volunteers‖, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren. He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As one said, ―He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.‖The prince said he liked being treated as an ―equal‖ by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime. It seems that there‘s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of aBritish prince.Uint3 II.
