among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三：英语高级视听说 下册 unit15】【篇三：英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。

That’s the best we can do.Smith: En, in that case, I will have to take things as they are. But that is the deadline, otherwise I have to cancel the order.Wang: All right. Anyway, we assure you that delivery will be completed on time on condition that your L/C reaches us at least one month before the time of delivery.Smith: That sounds acceptable to me. I’ll take you at your word. Oh, it’s too late. Other terms have to be left until tomorrow.Wang: Ok, shall we have a dinner together? I’ll treat you.Smith: Ok, I’m so glad to.。

After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces leftbetween the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40 percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most between 9a.m. and early afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going strong until 1 or 2 ., so why break the momentum During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to photocopy a memo, or talkingto other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy level from dropping way down.When full alertness returns—around 4 .—you might do a few small projects that give you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize for the next day.The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London. Unlike many scientists, he believes that the world will be a better place in the future. His book, What a Wonderful Life, will be on sale, and Globe sent Reporter Catherine Brown to talk to him. Here is part of their conversation.) Catherine Brown: What changes will we see in the next few yearsAlexander Dubois:Today, work is the most important part of manypeople's lives. In the future, machines will do muchof our work. This means that we'll have more time tothink about how to live happily.Catherine Brown: What developments will there be in medical scienceAlexander Dubois:The day will come when we will eliminate killerdiseases such as diphtheria and typhoid. Also, therewill be fewer babies born with birth defects becausedoctors will be able to operate on children beforethey are born.Catherine Brown:And what about natural resources Will there be anadequate supply of coal, oil and gasAlexander Dubois:Of course! Research shows that there are sufficientresources for the next 20,000 years within onekilometer of the earth's surface.Catherine Brown:Will cities continue to grow and become more and moreovercrowdedAlexander Dubois:No, they won't. People will return to smallercommunities where they can really know theirneighbors and participate in community life.Catherine Brown: Aren't you worried about the possibility of nuclearwarAlexander Dubois: Yes, I am. I expect there will be a nuclear war in thefuture, but it won't end our world. Life willcontinue.Statements:1. Alexander Dubois holds an optimistic point of view for the world's future.2.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.S tudent B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re tot ally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. Tha t’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result fromthe social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoid Ex2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such ascalculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game. So a game, seen later on, might only last hours.Listening 3Ex1: A B A B DEx2: 1)pessimistic 2)doubled 3)coal 4)chickens 5) artificial6)well-designed7)fresher 8)leading 9)unnecessaryScript:What will life be like 100 years from now Some experts are optimistic; others,far more pessimistic. They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized.Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1. What can definitely be said of life in the next century2. What does "many jobs will be 'automated'" mean according to the passage3. What will the influence of automation be upon people in terms of employment4. Is there any possibility hat some jobs will disappear in decades from now Why or why not5. What would the future job market look likeListening 4Ex1: F T T F FEx2: 1) Because they could have a large house and yard there2) The cities have grown larger3) During the last 10 or 15 years of the 20th century4) Because they want to change them into apartment buildings5) It saves people time for traveling back and forthScript:Starting in the early 1900s, many Americans living and working in large cities moved to the suburbs. They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hourseach way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。

Unit 8 The Star of StarbucksEpisode 1:Who would have believed that Americans would line up by the millions to pay $ 4 for a cup of coffee? Who would have imagined we’d go to a coffee shop and casually ask for a double tall, one pump, vanilla skim, caramel macchiato what the heck is a macchiato anyway?Well, the guy who did believe is Howard Schultz, the star of Starbucks. Schultz is given to leaps of imagination—he had to be, as he started out as a poor kid in Brooklyn who sold his own blood just to get through college.Today, as head of a $29 billion multinational corporation, Shultz is not without his critics; some mockingly call Starbucks “Fourbucks.” But when we met Schultz, we found a salesman and a showman, who is creating his own subculture and intends to take the whole world along.Episode 2:At the Starbucks headquarters in Seattle, they don’t drink coffee like you and me. That’s Howard Schultz analyzing each slurp, as though he’s letting you in on a secret.Schultz:“You taste that earthiness? Like a Bordeaux wine.”Correspondent:“That is pretty good”Schultz:“That’s something.”Correspondent:“That’s something.”Here people called “coffee masters” talk about finding romance and passion in a cup like they were cream and sugar. Schultz has brewed up a coffee culture that’s, sometimes, a little hard to swallow.Schultz: “One of our colleagues coined a phrase a long time ago and said, ‘We’re not in the business of filling bellies. We’re in the business of filling souls.’”Correspondent: “Oh, now, come on. No, wait a minute. That’s too…this is a company. This is a corporation. Come on.”Schultz:“OK, it is a corporation.”Correspondent:“You’re blowing smoke now.”Schultz:“No, I mean this is how we feel. You might say, ‘OK, they’re full of crap.’ And you know, this is how we feel. We’re in the business of human connection and humanity, creating communities in a third place between home and work.”Correspondent:“I got to tell you I’ve been kicking around your headquarters here for the last couple of days and I’ll admit if you let meuse a different beverage metaphor…”Schultz: “OK.”Correspondent:“The people around here really seem to be drinkingthe Kool Aid, they really seem to be completely steeped, to use anotherbeverage metaphor, in this philosophy bit.”Schultz:“But it’s not a cult, this is a corporation, it is a for-profit business. But our approach for 30-plus years has been unique and different, not better, just different.”That approach created a company that now doubles its sales every three years.Correspondent: “How many stores are you opening as we speak?”Schultz: “We have 11,000 stores in 37 countries. It’s an unbelievable number to me, to be honest with you. We are opening five new stores a day…”Correspondent: “That’s a new store very five hours, 24/7.”Schultz: “Yeah.”There really are Starbucks across the street from each other. They do that to cut down on the lines. Starbucks says it has 40 million customers a week, 40 MILLION. And it brews 227 million gallons of coffee a day.Episode 3:The operation that feeds that monster is massive. Have a look at this roasting plant that we toured outside Seattle. They ship in green coffee beans from 28 countries. This plant will go through up to two million pounds of beans in a week and there are four plants just like this one. Starbucks has become so pervasive it spliced itself into the national DNA.Correspondent: “There s a bit of a Starbucks blowback.”Schultz: “Sure.”Correspondent:“Rolling into town, crushing the life out of the mom and pop coffee shop.”Schultz:“We are so different and when people understand that, they welcome us. For example, first off, we created an industry that did not exist, and in our wake, the moment of Starbucks, so many local and regional companies and mom and pops have not only surfaced, but succeeded.”Still, Schultz has felt the wrath of anarchists, who trashed a Seattle store in an antiglobalization riot.Correspondent: “There is a criticism, and you’ve heard it…”Schultz: “Yeah.”Correspondent: “…that Starbucks is homogenizing the world; that you’re taking the culture out of places in China and Japan and Americanizing them.”Schultz: “I’ve heard that.”Correspondent:“And it irritates you.”Schultz:“It’s not that it irritates me. It’s just, you know, it’s off base.”Correspondent:“And when people say you’re an evil empire bent on world domination, you say?”Schultz:“I hate that. I hate that, but I realize you’re always going to have critics.”Episode 4:This is the original Starsbucks, a small store with no big plans. It opened in 1971 on Seattle’s sea front. “starbuck” is the name of a character in the novel Mobb Dick.Here in the Pipeplace market, there is salt in the air and salmon too. Schultz came here as an appliance salesman pushing coffee markets. He stopped at Starbucks to make a sales call.Schultz: “When I walked in this store for the first time, I know this sounds really hokey, I knew I was home.”So he quit his job and went to work in the store, which at the time was selling just beans and machines. Adding an espresso bar was his idea. A few years later, he was offered a chance to buy Starbucks, which by then had grown to six Seattle stores. He set out to find investors.Schultz:“If I came to you in 1987 and I said to you, even though coffee consumption in America is down, I want to build a company that was going to sell coffee not in a porcelain cup, but in a paper cup, with Italian-saying words that no one could pronounce, for $ 3 a cup of coffee, would you invest?”Correspondent:“Absolutely not.”Schultz: “Okay, well, you would have had lot of company.”But if I had invested $10,000 at the start, it would be worth more than $5 million today. How did he do it? With marketing and salesmanship and even, he admits, a little hype.Correspondent:“But please tell American and the rest of the world why the small drink is called the tall?”Schultz: “Well, I think, you know, when you walk into a store, you don’t want to say, give me a small. You want to say give me a tall. And so, there’s a little bit for marketing in there.”Schultz likes to tell people that Starbucks is just a simple coffee company, but behind closed doors, there’s a Starbucks laboratory inventing next year’s drinks. They are based on things like new car colors. Jim Donald, the company’s CEO, showed us around.Jim Donald: “It takes our beverages from the state of ideation to the actual development that you see going on right now.”Correspondent: “The state of ideation?”Jim Donald: “The sate of ideation. Beverages have to be created. And they’re created by looking at what trend is in, say, the fashion industry, what color’s hot right now.”They think green is hot and so they developed something called a“Green Tea Frappuccino.”At Starbucks today, there are now 55,000 possible combinations.Correspondent: “Cinnamon dolce latter. Vanilla white chocolate mocha? Caramel sense of entertainment and excitement and electricity, you want to be there.”It’s not just coffee anymore. Starbucks is theater.Bar Tender: “And Jenny, you have a grande peppermint latte lite with mocha.”That showmanship and salesmanship have made Schultz something close to a billionaire.Episode 5:Correspondent: “So this is the old neighborhood?”But that is something that he could never have imagined as a boy. Schultz grew up broke living with this public housing project in Brooklyn. There are bullet holes in the door leading to apartment 7G.Schultz:“OK, there is my apartment.”Correspondent: “When you were living here at the end of the hallway, age 15, age 16, what would you want to be? What was your dream?”Schultz: “You know, my dream was to get out. It was, I never allowed myself to dream beyond that. I was afraid to dream beyond that.”Dreams, he told us, seemed futile after his father, Fred, was injured on the job.Schultz: “This is the hallway I walked down at the age of seven and opened that door and saw my father on a couch with a cast, and…”Correspondent: “He broke his leg on the job.”Schultz: “He broke his leg on the job. He was a delivery driver, picking up and delivering cloth diapers. Terrible job.”Schultz:“When he fell on the job, he basically was turned loose. He was out of work. There was no hospitalization, no health insurance, no workman’s compensation and we were done as a family and I saw the hopelessness, I saw the plight of a working class family, I saw the fracturing of the American dream first hand at the age of seven. That memory scarred me.”So, now Schultz has organized his company around that memory. He provides health insurance to employees who work as little as 20 hours a week. He raised prices to do it. And now Starbucks spends more on health care than it does on coffee.Schultz: “What I’ve said to our own people is that we will not—you’re never supposed to say never, but I said never—we will never turn our back on this benefit for our people.”When you pay four bucks for coffee, you’re funding Schultz’s socialagenda—the health care, stock options for employees and more. He pays farmers higher than market rate for beans.Schultz got out of here, but something about it never left him.Correspondent: “What were you thinking?”Schultz:“Just everything that’s happened to me since, standing here, how many times I walked through that door, I think there were many moments when people said, not to me directly, but I remember hearing things that, “Don’t aim too high.’ Not my parents, but people. ‘You’re from Brooklyn, you’re from the projects. Don’t aim too high.’”All these years later, Schultz is aiming to at least triple the number of stores to 30,000 worldwide. He thinks that China may be his biggest market and he has nearly 400 stores in the region already, including one in Beijing’s Forbidden City.What was once a coffee bar has become a marketing machine for an expanding entertainment business. It produces its own music and, this week, Starbucks opens its first movie. It’s called “Akeelah and the Bee” as in spelling bee, a feel-good film about a poor kid who triumphs.“Prestidigitation” means skill in pulling of illusions, like a magician. Howard Schultz admits there was more than a little sleight of hand in conjuring up Starbucks and turning the dullest, most common drink in America, into something mysterious.。

Which flight did you take?Nora: United Airlines, Flight UA858.John: How did it go? Everything smooth sailing?Nora: Not everything. Since I hadn't traveled by air for a long time, I wasn't familiar with the airport. It took me quite a while to find the United Airlines check-in counter. John: Then how did you find it?Nora: In fact, it was displayed on the monitor: "Flight UA858 c~/Counter 45." John: And was everything OK once you found it?Nora: No, there was a terrible line-up. I had to wait there for an hour.John: I see. Y ou must have been burned out waiting before you even boarded the plane.Nora: That still wasn't the end of my troubles. When I finally got to the counter and handed in my passport and ticket, the airline agent looked at my passport and at me again and again.John: Why? Did she think your passport was a fake?Nora: I don't know. I just told her my photo did not flatter me at all.John: Y our photo certainly doesn't do justice to your beauty.Nora: She didn't say anything like that. Fortunately, when I asked for an aisle seat, she said she had one. Y ou know, I wouldn't dare take a window seat and look out the window.John: I prefer an aisle seat, too. Then I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up in the aisle.Nora: Finally she gave me a boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 33 in just minutes.

It took me a while to go through the procedure.A: Any good news before you boarded the plane?B: Y es, when I asked for a window seat, I got one.

Y ou look like something the cat dragged in.John: Y ou would too if you’d been through what I have. I've got jet lag.Susan: Jet lag's not for real, is it? It's like a "broken heart"-a figure of speechJohn: It’s for real. See my eyes? They’re all bloodshot. I can’t eat; I can’t sleep. Susan: How long does this jet lag last after you’re home again and walking round? John: I don’t know exactly. It can be a day for each hour’s difference in time. Susan: Ouch! At that rate it’ll take you twelve days to recover from the flight. John: Maybe a drink on the plane can ease your jet lag.Susan: That's not a very good idea. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin.John: I wonder whether a long flight like that is worth the high cost.Susan: Take my advice. Go by boat. Arrive rested and ready to enjoy your holiday. John: No, it'll take too long-longer than the time for me to reset my biological clock after a flight.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Wow! What's wrong with you? Y ou look dead tired ~B: Y ou would too if you'd been through what I have. I've got jet lag. See my eyes: they're bloodshot. I can't eat; I can't sleep.A: How long will this jet lag last?B: I don't know exactly. It can be a day for each hour's difference in time.A: Ouch! At that rate it'll take you twelve days to recover. Maybe a drink on the plane can save you from jet lag.B: That's not a good solution, I'm afraid. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin. But if you drink a lot of water, it helps. A: let's check on the Internet to see how we can overcome jet lag quickly.B: Look, here's an article. So you need to get some exercise. Y ou can go to the gym to work out.A: Y ou should try to match your schedule with the local time. When it's time to go to bed but you don't feel sleepy, you might as well take sleeping pills.B: When you feel sleepy in broad daylight, you can drink strong coffee to stay awake. A: In this way you can reset your biological clock quickly.V. Let' TalkScriptBefore I conclude my talk, I'd like to summarize what we have covered.Air travel has its inherent advantages. Airplanes fly fast, and they are now flying faster than before. Now supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just a couple of hours. It is reported that new models are being designed. In the future they may carry people from New Y ork to London in less than an hour.In the past not many people traveled by air because of the high fares. Now owing to the market competition, the fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air. In the 1990s, the United States witnessed an explosive growth in demand for air travel. Many millions who had never, or rarely flown before, became regular passengers. They even joined frequent flyer loyalty programs, receiving free flights and other such benefits.Flying has become increasing convenient. The introduction of new services and more frequent flights has meant that business flyers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day. This applies to almost any two points in the country.Some passengers worry about safety in flying. In a crash there are usually no survivors. However, to prevent tragic accidents and serious financial loss, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility of accidents to the minimum. It is sometimes claimed that flying involves fewer accidents than any other modes of travel.Airplanes do have their disadvantages. For example, they are incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Also, an airport can be quite far away from the city center. But the advantages of flying outweigh these small drawbacks, and flying remains an efficient kind of transportation.That's the end of my lecture. Now may I take your questions if you have any?Pros and Cons of FlyingPro 1An airplane flies fast(1) Supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just acouple of hours;(2) In future they may carry people from Now Y ork to London in less than anhour.Pro 2 The fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air: Many millions became regular passengers, and even joined frequent flyer loyaltyprograms.Pro 3Flying has become increasingly convenient: Business fliers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day.Pro 4Airlines are cautious about checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility ofaccidents to the minimumCon 1The plane is incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Con 2An airport can be quite far away from the city center.DissussionSAMPLEA: I like flying better than any other way of traveling. It's so fast and convenient that you can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day, between almost any points in the country.B: But land transport is not slow, thanks to superhighways. What's more, it's often cheaper.A: I'll admit air fare is a bit high, but it's dropped a lot. The high speed and great convenience are worth the money.B: Land transport is often safer. In case of accidents like a fire, you can jump out of the car. Can you jump our of a plane?A: It's true that in a crash there are often no survivors. However, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft. It's sometimes believed that flying involves fewer accidents than other kinds of travel.B: The problem with a plane is that it can't transport large quantities of cargo.A: I agree, but certainly a plane can carry perishable goods like fresh vegetables to a distant city quickly and safely.B: But an airport is often quite far away from the city center. So that will add to your traveling time. Y ou can’t fly directly to your final destination.A: Y ou have a point there. I know trucks can provide door-to-door delivery service, but buses and trains can't.B: OK, let's come to this conclusion: each type of transport has its own advantages and disadvantages.A: Y es, that's why none of them has been phased out.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1:An Overview of AirlinesScriptAn airline is an organization which provides aviation services for passengers and cargo. It owns or leases airliners to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for reasons of mutual benefits.The scale and scope of airline companies range from those with a single airplane carrying mail or cargo, to full-service international airlines operating many hundreds of airplanes of various types. Airline services can be categorized as intercontinental, intra-continental, regional or domestic and may be operated as scheduled services or charters. These variations in the types of airline companies, their operating scope, and the routes they serve, make analysis of the airline industry complex. But one thing is certain: The industry is heavily influenced by the market now. In the past 50 years or so, the general trend of ownership has gone from government-owned or government-supported to independent, for-profit companies. This is a result of the government permit greater freedom. This trend is not yet consistent across all airlines in all regions. The demand for air travel services depends on other things: needs for cargo transportation, business passenger demand, leisure passenger demand, which are all influenced by macroeconomic activity in the market. These trends are highly seasonal, and often depend on day-of-week, or time-of-day. The industry is cyclical. Four or five years of poor performance are followed by five or six years of gradual improvement in performance.1.D 2 C 3.D 4.A 5.BT ask2:Results of Damage T estingScript:Birds often cause accidents when they strike aircraft. To date no reliable method of avoiding birds has been discovered. But scientists at the NASA space center have developed a gun built to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at their top speed. The idea is to reproduce the frequent incidents of collisions with birds to test the strength of the windshields. Trains sometimes encounter similar problems with birds. It was not surprising that when British engineers heard about the gun, they were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains.Arrangements were made to borrow the gun. It was flown across the Atlantic and set up with great care near London. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken flew into the shield, smashed it, went through the engineer's chair, and landed on the back of the car.Horrified, the British sent NASA the results of the disastrous experiment, along with the designs of the new windshield. They begged the U.S. scientists to send them their suggestions for avoiding smashed windshields. NASA reviewed the test thoroughly and had one recommendation: "Thaw the chicken.”T ask3: Funny Flight AnnouncementsScript:Occasionally, airline crews try to make their announcements entertaining. Here are some examples that have been reported. One pilot delivered this welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."One pilot said, "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I'm going to switch the seatbelt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings, it affects the flight pattern."A Southwest Airlines employee said, "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have small children traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing goes like this: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."Still another attendant sa id, “As you exit the plane, please be sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses. Last one off the plane must clean it.”News ReportParagliding for a Publishing DealScriptAn Australian writer-and paraglider-tried landing in front of Buckingham Palace last December to help him land a publishing deal.In what looked like a scene from a James Bond movie, the paraglider, 36-year-old Brett de la Mare, was followed through the skies of central London by a police helicopter as he headed toward the palace-the London home of Queen Elizabeth II. The royal family was not present at the time, but police took the incident seriously, all the same. The helicopter tried to force the paraglider away, but in the end, he succeeded in landing on the palace grounds. Police there promptly arrested him.This was no terrorist, however, as Police had feared. He was, rather, a writer trying to gain publicity to help publish a book, called “C anine Dawn”. Unable to get publishers interested in the book, he tried some new ways to get attention.After the incident, de la Mare explained what happened to reporters. "I came in over the fence, and I landed in the forecourt here, and the crowd started cheering. And I was arrested and dragged off." De la Mare said police had difficulty deciding what to charge him with: "They initially…they arrested me for attempted burglary..of ...Buckingham Palace... and of course, they dropped that. I mean, attempted burglary! I mean, it's hardly a discreet method of burglary..." They later charged him with breaches of the Air Navigation Order.De la Mare left a h umorous message on his cell phone for callers: "Hi, this is Brett. I'm sorry you missed me. I am incarcerated right now or something. Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I am free."。

商务英语视听说答案
扩展商务英语视听说1-8单元答案Unit 1Part I Listening and SpeakingTask 1Q1.I am graduating in June from ABC University and my major is hotel management.I am an outgoing, energetic person. I enjoy teamwork very much. As part of my degree program, I needed to finish different projects with my teammates. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a very positive attitude. My career aspiration is to become a successful hotelier. During my internship at the Grand Hyatt, I worked as a receptionist. My duties included offering friendly and efficient check-in and check-out service to guests, answering phone calls, taking and passing on messages to guests, I find that if I can make the guests happy, I will be very happy, too.Q2.I received honors in several school-wide English and computer contests. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds. I am good at communicating, organizing and coordinating. If something blocks my path, I will look for a solution.I never give up easily.Sometimes I receive comments that I need to improve in the area of filing. I am now trying to improve by learning from others. Q3.Interest and career development are two of my criteria in choosing a job. Interest is the best motivation. I love the hotel business, so I will definitely devote myself to it. Moreover, high job satisfaction can be attained when the job is what I am interested in.Career development is very important for me when choosing a job. From what I know, Shangri-La provides equal career advancement for all staff. The job rotation plan and individually tailored training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me.Task 2Is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.Avoid asking interviewer personal questions or making personal comments. Could you tell me how much the new job pays?The interviewer might infer from these questions that you are only interested in your own needs and not those of their company. Wait until the employer raises these subjects to discuss them.What about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that?How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?But in which cities do you have your branches? And where is your company based?It is also unwise to ask about things you should have already known. You are only telling the interviewer that you haven't done your homework.Part II Language FocusName: CaiNingPersonality: serious-minded; calm; humorous; easy-goingStrengths: the ability to work with all types of peopleWeakness: perfectionist; impatientWork experience: six years’ financial industry experience with severalcompanies; two years’ experience in an investment bankQualification: graduated from Peking University in 2001 majoring inaccounting; fluent English; bookkeepingand accounting proficiency inEnglish.Reasons for leaving last job: want to find a job that is challenging.Questions about the job: Would I be able to work abroad in one of youroverseas branches?Part III Viewing and SpeakingVideo 1Reasons for joining the It is one of the leading international consultant corporationscompany which came to China after China entered WTO.Working in this company would give him the best chance to use what he haslearned at university.Relevant work experience He was involved in a factory restoration in Nanjing.
