About eBay (《新职业英语2》Unit 8备课资料
eBayeBay headquarters in San Jose, CaliforniaUS2786421030US$10.746 billion (2018)[1]US$2.222 billion (2018)[1]US$2.530 billion (2018)[1]US$22.819 billion (2018)[1]US$6.281 billion (2018)[1]eBay Inc. (/ˈiːˌbeɪ/EE-bay) is an American multinational e-commerce corporation based in San Jose, California, that facilitatesconsumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales through its website. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in the Fall of 1995, and became a notable success story of the dot-com bubble. eBay is a multibillion-dollar business with operations in about 30 countries, as of 2011.[needs update][2] The company manages the eBay website, an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a wide variety of goods and services worldwide. The website is free to use for buyers, but sellers are charged fees for listing items after a limited number of free listings, and again when those items are sold.[3]In addition to eBay's original auction-style sales, the website has evolved and expanded to include: instant "Buy It Now" shopping; shopping by Universal Product Code, ISBN, or other kind of SKU number (via , which was shut down in 2017); online classified advertisements (via Kijiji, or eBay Classifieds); online event ticket trading (via StubHub); and other services. eBay previously offered online money transfers as part of itsservices (via PayPal,[4] which was a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay from 2002 to 2015).[5]History1990sThe AuctionWeb was founded in California on September 3, 1995, by French-born Iranian-American computer programmer Pierre Omidyar as part of a larger personal site.[6] One of the first items sold on AuctionWeb was a broken laser pointer for $14.83. Astonished, Omidyar contacted the winning bidder to ask if he understood that the laser pointer was broken. In his responding email, the buyer explained: "I'm a collector of broken laser pointers."[7] It soon became the first online auction site allowing person-to-person transactions, which led to a mass volume of online transactions.[8]Reportedly, eBay was simply a hobby for Omidyar until his Internet service provider informed him he would need to upgrade to a business account due to the high volume of traffic to his website. The resulting price increase (from $30/month to $250) prompted him to start charging those who used eBay, which was not met with any animosity.[citation needed] It did result in the hiring of Chris Agarpao as eBay's first additional employee to process mailed checks coming in for fees.[9]Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of eBayJeffrey Skoll was hired as the first new president of the company in early 1996. In November 1996, the E-Commerce platform entered into its first third-party licensing deal, with a company called Electronic Travel Auction, to use SmartMarket Technology to sell plane tickets and other travel products. Growth was phenomenal; in January 1997 the site hosted 2,000,000 auctions, compared with 250,000 during the whole of 1996.[10]The company officially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September 1997. Originally, the site belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar's consulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register the domain name , but found it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company,[11]so he shortened it to his second choice, .[12] In 1997 the company received $6.7 million in funding from the venture capital firm Benchmark Capital.[13]Meg Whitman was hired by the board as eBay president and CEO in March 1998. At the time, the company had 30 employees,[14] half a million users and revenues of $4.7 million in the United States.[15] In 2001, eBay had the largest userbase of any e-commerce site.[8]The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers were fabricated by a public relations manager, Mary Lou Song, in 1997 to interest the media, which were not interested in the company's previous explanation about wanting to create a "perfect market".[16]This was revealed in Adam Cohen's book, The Perfect Store (2002),[6] and confirmed by eBay.[16]After eBay went public, both Omidyar and Skoll became instant billionaires. eBay's target share price of $18 was all but ignored as the price went to $53.50 on the first day of trading.[17]The Pez dispenser myth generated enormous amounts of publicity and led to some of eBay's most explosive early growth among toy collectors. However, at the time, Beanie Babies (manufactured by Ty, Inc.) were the leader in the toy category and the most difficult brand to find in retail stores. Beanie Babies quickly became the dominant product on eBay, accounting for 10% of all eBay listings in 1997.[18][19]While eBay was still a privately held company, two major factors contributed to its growing market share:•The growing collectibility of Beanie Babies in the mid-1990s –collectors internationally were trying to complete theircollection of Beanie Babies•Ty producing the first business-to-consumer Web site- the original Ty Web site contained an online trading post where people couldtrade their Beanie Babies; however, the trading post wasoverwhelmed with unsortable listings, creating a legitimate demand for a more efficient online system to buy and trade Beanie Babies in the secondary market[18]As a result, eBay provided a user-friendly interface to search for specific Beanie Babies that collectors were searching for.On September 21, 1998, eBay went public.[20] In the risk factors section of the annual report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 1998, Omidyar notes eBay's dependence on the continued strength of the Beanie Babies market.[18][21]2000sAs the company expanded product categories beyond collectibles into almost any saleable item, business grew quickly.[7] In 2000, eBay had 12 million registered users and a cyberinventory of more than 4.5 million items on sale on any given day.[22] In February 2002 the company purchased iBazar, a similar European auction web site founded in 1998,[23] and then bought PayPal on October 3, 2002.[24]By early 2008 the company had expanded worldwide, counting hundreds of millions of registered users as well as 15,000 employees and revenues of almost $7.7 billion. After nearly ten years at eBay, Whitman decided to enter politics. On January 23, 2008, the company announced that Whitman would step down on March 31, 2008, and John Donahoe was selected to become president and CEO.[citation needed]Whitman remained on the board of directors and continued to advise Donahoe through 2008. In late 2009 eBay completed the sale of Skype for $2.75 billion, but still owned 30% equity in the company.[25]2010sIn 2012 eBay was charged by the United States Department of Justice with entering into non-solicitation agreements with other technology companies involving their highly skilled employees.[26]On September 30, 2014, eBay announced it would spin off PayPal into a separate publicly traded company, a demand made nine months prior by activist hedge fund magnate Carl Icahn. The spinoff completed on July 18, 2015. eBay's then chief executive, John Donahoe, stepped down from that role.[27][28][29]Flipkart and eBay entered into a strategic partnership in 2017 under which eBay Inc acquired a 5.44% stake in Flipkart in exchange for its eBay India business for $211 Mn and a $514 Mn cash investment. As part of the partnership, Flipkart decided to use the eBay's platform for global outsourcing.[30]On January 31, 2018, eBay announced that they would replace PayPal as its primary payments provider with Netherlands-based start-up Adyen. The transition was set to be completed by 2021, but PayPal would remain an acceptable payment option on the site until further notice.[31]On July 31, 2019, the company acquired a 5.59 percent stake in Paytm Mall.[32]On September 25, 2019, it was announced that Devin Wenig would be stepping down as eBay's CEO, and that Scott Schenkel, senior vice president and chief financial officer since 2015, had been appointed as the interim CEO.[33]On April 13, 2020, it was announced that Jamie Iannone would become the CEO on April 27.[34]Corporate affairsBoard of directorsAs of October 2019 the board of directors was as follows:[35]•Thomas J. Tierney, co-founder of the Bridgespan Group, Chairman of eBay since March 2003•Fred D. Anderson, former managing director of Elevation Partners, director of eBay since July 2003•Anthony Bates, CEO of Genesys•Adriane M. Brown, advisor at Intellectual Ventures, LLC•Jesse Cohn, Head of U.S. Equity Activism at Elliott Management Corporation•Diana Farrell, CEO of JPMorgan Chase Institute•Logan Green, CEO of Lyft•Bonnie Hammer, Chairman, NBC Universal•Kathleen Mitic, CEO of Sitch, Inc.•Matt Murphy, CEO of Marvell Technology Group•Pierre Omidyar, director since 1996 and chairman of eBay from May 1996 to May 2015•Paul Pressler, Partner at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC•Bob Swan, CEO of Intel Corporation•Perry Traquina, CEO of Wellington Management CompanyLogoIn September 2012, eBay introduced a new logo set in the Univers typeface, but using a thinner variation of it,[36]installed on the website on October10, 2012. It replaced the logo with a thicker variation of Univers which had been used since its establishment in 1995. An all red, eBay logo with the same type set was also introduced to be used temporarily for various holidays.•1995–2012•2012–presentProfit and transactionseBay generates revenue by a complex system of fees for services, listing product features, and a final value fee for sales proceeds by sellers. As of 2019 the US-based charges $0.35 as an insertion fee for a basic listing without any adornments. The final value fee is 10-12% of the total amount of the sale, which is the price of the item plus shipping charges.[37]Reduced final value fees are available to business registered customers. Other eBay websites follow a similar fee structure, but with different cost charges.Under US law before 2018, a state cannot require sellers located outside the state to collect a sales tax, which made making purchases on eBay more attractive to American buyers. Sellers that operate as a business do follow state tax regulations on eBay transactions.[38][39]Since 2018, changes to tax law in the United States force eBay (and other large marketplaces) to collect sales tax on any eBay purchase shipped to certain states.[40]The company's business strategy includes increasing international trade.[41][42] eBay has already expanded to over two dozen countries, including China and India. Strategic international expansion has failed in Taiwan and Japan, where Yahoo!had a head start, and New Zealand, where Trade Me is the dominant online auction website. eBay also notably failed in China due to competition from local rival Taobao.[43] eBay entered the Chinese market in 2002 and shut down its Chinese site in 2007.[44]In India, eBay's operations came to a halt[45]after it sold off its India operations[46] to country's largest ecommerce company Flipkart, in the latter's $1.4Bn fundraise,[47] where eBay was a participant.In its Q1 2008 results, total payment volume via PayPal increased 17%, but of the eBay auction site it was up 61%.[48]For most listing categories, eBay sellers are permitted to offer a variety of payment systems such as ,[49] PayPal , Paymate , Propay, and Skrill.[50] Propay and Skrill were banned effective September 27, 2015, citing low usage.[51] is eBay's approved escrow site. The transactions processed through largely are in relation to eBay Motors; however, they are not restricted to this type of listing.[49]eBay runs an affiliate program under the name eBay Partner Network.[52] eBay affiliate marketers were originally paid a percentage of the eBay seller's transaction fees, with commissions ranging from 50% to 75% of the fees paid for an item purchased. In October 2009, eBay changed to an affiliate payout system that it calls Quality Click Pricing, in which affiliates are paid an amount determined by an undisclosed algorithm. The total earnings amount is then divided by the number of clicks the affiliate sent to eBay and is reported as Earnings Per Click, or EPC. In October 2013, ePN launched a new pricing model. The new model is more transparent and is based on category-level base commission rates with bonuses available for referring new and reactivated buyers.[53]On April 18, 2012, eBay reported a 29% Q1 revenue increase to $3.3 billion compared to their Q1 in 2011. Net income was reported to be at $570 million for the quarter.[54]For the fiscal year 2017, eBay reported losses of US$1.016 billion, with annual revenue of US$9.567 billion, an increase of 6.6% over the previous fiscal cycle. eBay's shares traded at over $35 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over US$27.2 billion in October 2018.Year Revenue in mil.

Creating an equivalent impact to remove the same amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would require planting 322 acres (1.30 km2) of trees.The design of the building also incorporates other elements to reduce its impact on the environment. The building is equipped with a lighting system that detects natural ambient light sources and automatically dims artificial lighting to save 39% of the power usually required to light an office building. eBay's newest building also reduces demand on local water supplies by incorporating an eco-friendly irrigation system, and low-flow showerheads and faucets. Even during construction, more than 75% of the waste from construction was recycled. eBay also runs buses between San Francisco and the San Jose campus to reduce the number of commuting vehicles.[69] In 2014, eBay and several other Oregon businesses signed the Oregon Business Climate Declaration to promote local job growth and slow carbon pollution.[71]AcquisitionsMain article: List of acquisitions by eBayPayPalOn October 3, 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay.[72] Its corporate headquarters were sited in San Jose, California,[73] United States at eBay's North First Street satellite office campus. On September 30, 2014, eBay Inc. announced the divestiture of PayPal as an independent company, which was completed on July 20, 2015.[74]CraigslistIn the summer of 2004, eBay acknowledged that it had acquired 25% of classified listings website Craigslist. Former Craigslist executive Phillip Knowlton was the seller, and he insisted that his former employer was aware of his plans to divest his holdings. Initially, eBay assured Craigslist that eBay would not ask Craigslist to change the way it did business.In March 2005, eBay launched the classifieds service Kijiji. In April 2008, eBay sued Craigslist to "safeguard its four-year financial investment", claiming that in January 2008, Craigslist took actions that "unfairly diluted eBay's economic interest by more than 10%".[75] Craigslist countersued in May 2008 "to remedy the substantial and ongoing harm to fair competition" that Craigslist claimed was constituted by eBay's actions as a Craigslist shareholder.[76]In September 2010, Delaware Judge William Chandler ruled that the actions of Craigslist were unlawful and that the actions were taken by Craigslist founders Jim Buckmaster and Craig Newmark had "breached their fiduciary duty of loyalty", and restored eBay's stake in the company to 28.4% from a diluted level of 24.85%.[77] However, the judge dismissed eBay's objection to a staggered board provision, citing that Craigslist has the right to protect its own trade secrets.[78][79]eBay spokesman Michael Jacobson stated "We are very pleased that the court gave eBay what it sought from the lawsuit."[77]SkypeIn October 2005, eBay Inc. acquired Skype Technologies,[80] developer of the Skype VoIP and Instant messaging service, significantly expanding its customer base to more than 480 million registered users worldwide. eBay later sold a majority stake in Skype in November 2009, while retaining a minority investment.[81] This eventually led to the sale of the entire Skype business to Microsoft for $8.5 billion in May 2011.[82]StubHubStubHub's acquisition by eBay was announced in January 2007 for a reported $310 million.[83][84][85]According to CNN Money, 2007 was a very successful year for the company, handling five million individual transactions, more than in the previous six years combined of its history.[86] Staffing at StubHub had increased to 350 workers by the time of the sale.[85]Eight months after the acquisition, StubHub reached an exclusive agreement with Major League Baseball(MLB).[86]They get a piece of the 25% in commissions StubHub earns on either end of a sale. Ticketmaster filed a lawsuit against StubHub and eBay in 2007, alleging "intentional interference" with Ticketmaster's contractual rights.[87]CorrigonIn October 2016, eBay acquired Corrigon, a visual search engine, for less than $30 million.[88]Qoo10.jpIn April 2018, eBay acquired the Japanese division of Qoo10, a market place driven by Giosis and having the 4th GMV in Japan, for a reported $573 million.[89] With the close of the transaction, eBay also has relinquished its investment in Giosis’ non-Japanese businesses. This acquisition expands eBay's footprint in Japan, one of the largest e-commerce markets in the world. eBay made an initial investment in Giosis Pte. Ltd. in 2010. Since then, Giosis has established dynamic marketplace businesses across Asia. eBay's Japan busine ss, including Giosis’ Japan business, will report into Jooman Park, senior vice president of eBay's Asia Pacific region.[90]Use for data analysiseBay is a publicly visible market which has attracted interest from economists, who have used it to analyze aspects of buying and selling behavior, auction formats, etc., comparing them with previous theoretical and empirical findings.Computer information systems researchers have also shown interest in eBay. Michael Goul, Chairman of the Computer Information Systems department of the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, published an academic case based on eBay's big data management and use in which he discusses how eBay is a data-driven company that processes 50 petabytes of data a day.[91]eBay uses a system that allows different departments in the company to check out data from their data mart into sandboxes for analysis. According to Goul, eBay has already experienced significant business successes through its data analytics. eBay employs 5,000 data analysts to enable data-driven decision making.[91]Third partyIn 2006 the accounting software company Intuit launched a web-based donation tracking service called ItsDeductible. The service uses data from eBay to help users assign a market value to the items they donate.[92]Visual searchIn July 2017 eBay released an image search capability allowing users to find listings on the site that match an item depicted in a photo, using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.[93]GCHQUK's GCHQ has a suite of tools for monitoring target use of eBay, named ELATE.[94]ItemsMillions of collectibles, decor, appliances, computers, furnishings, equipment, domain names,[95] vehicles, and other miscellaneous items are listed, bought, or sold daily on eBay. In 2006, eBay launched its Business & Industrial category, breaking into the industrial surplus business. Generally, anything can be auctioned on the site as long as it is not illegal and does not violate the eBay Prohibited and Restricted Items policy.[96]Services and intangibles can be sold, too. Large international companies, such as IBM, sell their newest products and offer services on eBay using competitive auctions and fixed-priced storefronts. Separate eBay sites such as eBay US and eBay UK allow the users to trade using the local currency. Software developers can create applications that integrate with eBay through the eBay API by joining the eBay Developers Program.[97] In June 2005, there were more than 15,000 members in the eBay Developers Program, comprising a broad range of companies creating software applications to support eBay buyers and sellers as well as eBay Affiliates.Numerous government and police agencies[98] around the world now use eBay as well as traditional auctions to dispose of seized and confiscated goods.Controversy has arisen over certain items put up for bid. For instance, in late 1999 a man offered one of his kidneys for auction on eBay, attempting to profit from the potentially lucrative (and, in the United States, illegal) market for transplantable human organs.[99]eBay North First Street satellite office campus (home to PayPal)Beginning in August 2007, eBay required listings in "Video Games" and "Health & Beauty" to accept its payment system PayPal and sellers could only accept PayPal for payments in the category "Video Games: Consoles".[100] Starting January 10, 2008, eBay said sellers can only accept PayPal as payment for the categories "Computing > Software", "Consumer Electronics > MP3 Players", "Wholesale & Job Lots > Mobile & Home Phones", and "Business, Office & Industrial > Industrial Supply / MRO".[101] eBay announced that starting in March 2008, eBay had added to this requirement that all sellers with fewer than 100 feedbacks must offer PayPal and no merchant account may be used as an alternative.[102][103]This is in addition to the requirement that all sellers from the United Kingdom have to offer PayPal.[104]Further, and as noted below, it was a requirement to offer PayPal on all listings in Australia and the UK. In response to concerns expressed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, however, eBay has since removed the policy on the .au website requiring sellers to offer PayPal as a payment option.eBay Express logoeBay Office in Toronto, CanadaOn April 24, 2006, eBay opened its new eBay Express site, which was designed to work like a standard Internet shopping site for consumers with United States addresses.[105]Before it closed in 2008, selected eBay items were mirrored on eBay Express, where buyers used a traditional digital shopping cart to purchase from multiple sellers.[106] The UK version was launched to eBay members in mid-October 2006, but on January 29, 2008, eBay announced its intention to close the site.[107]The German version, eBay Express Germany,[108] was also opened in 2006 and closed in 2008.At the 2008 eBay Developer's Conference, eBay announced the Selling Manager Applications program (SM Apps).[109] The program allows approved developers to integrate their applications directly into the interface.[110] The applications created by developers are available for subscription by eBay members who also subscribe to Selling Manager.eBay maintains a number of specialty sites including the discussion boards, groups, answer center, chat rooms, and reviews and guides. eBay's mobile offerings include SMS alerts, a WAP site, Java ME clients, and mobile applications for Windows Phone, Android OS, and Apple iPhone.The initiative Choice in eCommerce was founded on May 8, 2013, by several online retailers in Berlin, Germany.[111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119] The cause was, in the view of the initiative, sales bans and online restrictions by individual manufacturers. The dealers felt cut off from their main sales channel and thus deprived them the opportunity to use online platforms like Amazon, eBay, or Rakuten in a competitive market for the benefit of their customers.Unusual itemsMain article: Unusual eBay listingsMany unusual items have been placed for sale on eBay, including at least two previously undiscovered species, including the Coelopleurus exquisitus sea urchin.[120][121]Prohibited or restricted itemsIn its earliest days, eBay was nearly unregulated. However, as the site grew, it became necessary to restrict or prohibit auctions for various items. Note that some of the restrictions relate to (the US site), while other restrictions apply to specific European sites (such as Nazi paraphernalia). Regional laws and regulations may apply to the seller or the buyer. Generally, if the sale or ownership of an item is regulated or prohibited by one or more states, eBay will not permit its listing. Among the hundred or so banned or restricted categories:•Tobacco (tobacco-related items and collectibles are accepted.)[122]•Alcohol (alcohol-related collectibles, including sealed containers, as well as some wine sales by licensed sellers areallowed, some sites such as .au allow licensed liquorsales)[123](eBay announced September 21, 2012, it will begin removing listings for beer and liquor from its site after a story was aired on ABC series 20/20.)[124]•Drugs and drug paraphernalia[125]•Items that "promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance, or promote organizations with such views".This includes Nazi paraphernalia, although there are exceptions to this rule for Nazi items such as stamps, letters, and envelopesdisplaying Nazi postmarks (must comply with the currency and stamp policy)•Items depicting the Confederate battle flag.[126]•Bootleg recordings[127]•Firearms and ammunition (as of January 1, 1999),[128] including any parts that could be used to assemble a firearm as well as (as of July 30, 2007) any firearm part that is required for the firing ofa gun, including bullet slugs, brass casings and shells, slides,cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc.Various types of knives are also forbidden.•Police and emergency service vehicular warning equipment such as red or blue lights and sirens (antique or collectible items areexempt)。

What makes him unusual is that he has no money. He says the average millionaire never uses money and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks. This is because he is so used to thinking in millions that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about. But this does not mean he has no worries. On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses. His great wealth also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people. Are they friendly because they like him? Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money? John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires, who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their millions. In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionaire. He never has any money and generally manages to persuade someone else to pay for his drinks. But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for money. He is full of jokes and fun. An evening spent with him is not cheap because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happy. He does not give much thought for tomorrow. He is the happiest man I have ever met. Whenever I meet him, he tells me, “In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire.” And then the world’s richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smile, “Do you have time for another drink?” How can I refuse?Listening IIIExercise 1 1)D 2)C 3)B 4)D 5)AExercise 21)shivering 2)desire 3)check 4)repay 5)invitation 6)performScripts:For reasons long forgotten, a 14-year-old girl in Cleveland got so angry with her parent that she ran away to New York City. Cold and hungry, she was shivering on a street corner when a taxi pulled up. As some party-goers got out, a man in the group notice the girl and, asking if she needed help, insisted that she joined them for dinner in a nearby restaurant.After hearing her story, the man took her to the train station and bought her a ticket back to Cleveland. “Whatever you desire,” he told her, “if you want it enough, you can make it happen.” Then he gave her $20 and his address and telephone number. If she ever needed anything, she was to call him.She returned to her family, but could not find the paper with his name and phone number. Twenty-five years later, she found the lost paper in a diary. Ralph Burke received a letter and a check for $300. The woman asked that he accept it with the love and spirit in which it was sent. The idea, she said, wasn’t to repay a “kindness that has no price”; rather, sh e hoped he would come to meet her family. Accepting the invitation, Ralph was welcomed like a long-lost uncle.Today he insists that one should perform those “simple acts of kindness” whenever one can. “Sometime, some way,” Ralph says, “they always come back to you.”Listening IVExercise 1 1)C 2)B 3)B 4)A 5)BExercise 21)He should find a cheaper apartment outside of the downtown area.2)Basketball.3)He would feel ashamed.4)Fifty dollars including her financial consulting fees.Scripts:Gilbert:Sophia, could I borrow a few bucks?

He never bought a new suit and he even mended his sho es with sticky tape rather than buy a new pair.”A woman villager added, “He was the meanest man I ever knew.

Unit 8新视野视听说教程2答案
UNIT8Unit8 crime does payII. Listening SkillsTo keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them.also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travel in groups whenever possible. more importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. moreover,children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. in fact,it is never too late to ask for help ,and to keep asking until they get the help they need. last but not least ,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister’s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.III.

The border guard stops him and says,” What’s in the bags?”“Sand,” answers the young man.The guard is a bit suspicious and asks the young man to open the bags for inspection. The guard empties the bags, but finds nothing in them but sand.Then he has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is noting but pure sand in the bags. So the young man is allowed to ride across the border with his sandbags.A week later, the same young man presents himself at the border with hisbags. The guard asks,” What have you got?” “Sand,” says the young man.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the young man who then rides across the border on his bicycle with the sandbags.This happens every week for three years. Finally, the young man no longer appears at the border crossing. Many months go by and the border guard meets the young man in an expensive cafe.“Hey,” says the guard,” for three ears you were smuggling something through my crossing station. It’s driving me crazy. Just between you and me, what were you smuggling?” The young man drinks his coffee and says,“Bicycles.”1. B2.D3.C4.A5.CTask 3: Fighting identity theftIt is important to keep your personal information secure. Here are some waysto help you fight identity theft. After all, you don't want someone else to ruin your good credit rating and perhaps keep you from getting the loan you want to get.The first thing you want to do is to watch how much information you give out on the internet. For example, never put your credit number into an email. If you do make purchases online, you need to be careful. One way to be extra careful is to only use sites that offer a high level of encryption. Another way to be extra careful is to only use one credit card for all of your internet purchases. Make sure that credit card has a low limit.Another thing you have to do to help you avoid ID theft is to destroy your outgoing mail completely. Some thieves will pick up garbage, search through it, and pull out the credit card offers that you threw away because they were junk mail. Remember that a lot of your information is already there. All a thief has to do is forge your signature and mail the form back with a note that says you have changed your mailing address(to their address).The third way to avoid identity theft is to make sure that your mailbox is safe. Have a slot in your front door for the mail to fall through. Even though that is completely safe, it is still much safer than the post outside your front door.1. 1.give out2.number3.online4.sites5.credit card6.low7.outgoing8.thieve 9.offers 10.mailbox 11.front doorIV. Speaking OutModel 1 Bye-bye, bully!Se-Jin: john, do you mind if I ask you something?John: No, what is it?Se-Jin: you seem nervous. Is that big guy still bullying you?John: Yeah. Today he wanted me to give him some money. He even pushed me when I said no.Se-Jin: That’s terrible! You have to talk to a teacher about this.John: I thought about that, but I’m afraid that everyone will think I’m a coward.Se-Jin: your safety is more important than what other people think.John; But telling a teacher could make things worse. The big guy warned me not to .Se-Jin: Of course he did! He doesn’t want to get into trouble. Look, if you’re still worried, tell the teacher not to mention your name when she talksto him.John: Good idea. But I think I can deal with him on my own.SAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, can I talk to you for a minute?B: Sure, what is it?A: You look worried. Are you still being bullied by that big boy in you class?B: Yeah. Today he asked me to help him cheat in the final exam.A: That’s too bad! You have to talk with your parents about it.B:I thought about that, but I’m afraid that other people will laugh at me if I turn to my parents for help.A: Don’t be silly. It’s more important to protect yourself.B: Maybe you are right. I should tell this to my parents, and they will give me some advice.Model 2 My house has been robbed!Operator: Colchester Police Station. Can I help you?Jane: I hope so.

Please don’t leave fingerprints anywhere.Model 3 We should create harsher sentences forbootleggers.Jane: It’s about time that the government got tough with bootleggers. Their fake liquors have already killed several people.Peter: Yeah, that’s too high a price to pay. It’s almost a rip-off. The bootleggers use industrial alcohol to cut costs and increase profits.Jane: Perhaps we should cut taxes on liquor. With lower taxes, bootlegging will decrease.Peter: But that can create a new problem. That’s not in agreement with the WTO rules.Jane: I think through negotiation with other nations, perhaps we can cut taxes under the WTO framework.Peter: That may be tough. Perhaps a better solution is to create harsher sentences for bootleggers.Jane: I agree. Our country needs a special team to deal with this problem. Then we can crack down on bootlegging.SAMPLE DIALOGA: It’s time the government took stricter standards control on cosmetic products. The low quality cosmetics have caused various skin diseases among users.B: Yeah, the producers use harmful ingredients to lower costs and add profits.A: Perhaps taxes on cosmetics should be cut. With lower taxes, low quality cosmetic products will be less profitable and decrease.B: But there is a new problem. Cutting taxes goes against the WTO rules.A: I think by negotiating with other countries we can reduce taxes.B: That may be hard. Maybe the best idea is to take stricter standards controlon cosmetic products.A: I agree. We should have some regulations to keep a check on the production and marketing of cosmetic.V. Let’s TalkThe Oldest Bank RobberTexas police say they have arrested a 91-yeard-old man, J. L. Rountree who is accused of robbing a bank, probably making him the oldest bank robber in U.S. history.Police said Rountree, who was not armed, asked a teller to put money into a large envelope with the word “robbery” written on it. A witness took down on the license number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city.If he is proved guilty, Rountree will face from ten to twenty years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks. Rountree left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999.In a prison interview with a journalist, Rountree said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to revenge against banks.“A bank that I’d done business with had forced me into bankruptcy. I have never liked banks since,” he told the journalist.” I decided I would get even. And I have.”4 5 6 7 3 2 1Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceAs the title suggests, the 90-year-old Henry Robert the Texas Police arrested may turn out to be the oldest bank robber in history. Let me describe him from the very beginning.When he was 80 years old he robbed his first bank in Florida because he wanted to get even with banks. For this robbery he received a three-year sentence in a Florida prison in 1999. A year ago he was set free. However, he continued with his outlaw career. In Texas, he robbed again, using an envelope labeled “Robbery”. He asked the teller to put money into the envelope. Unluckily for him, a witness took down the license number of hiscar that was parked outside. So he was arrested on a highway not far away from the city. He is now 90 years old, and therefore he is probably the oldest bank robber in American history. If proved guilty, he will be sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Describing a RobberyDetective: Okay, Ms. Brown, just calm down. Could you start from the beginning and tell me what happened?Ms. Brown: Well, let’s see. I was sitting at the table near the window when two men rushed in and told everyone to freeze.Detective: Can you describe the man？Ms. Brown: One was tall and with a long coat on. The other was shorter in a red jacket.Detective: After they burst in what did they do?Ms. Brown Well. The tall one pointed his gun at the clerk and told him to open the cash register. The short one was watching the rest of us. Theclerk hesitated a minute and just then the restaurant manger came outof his office. That surprised the thieves.Detective: Yeah, let’s see… The manger’s name is Mr. Jackson. I guess he had the key to the safe?Ms. Brown: Yeah! That’s right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe.The short one went with him. As the manger turned to go back to theoffice, he told the clerk to cooperate with him.Detective: Did the boss open up the safe?Ms. Brown: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medalor something.Detective: You all do. Living through a robbery is a tough experience.1. freeze2. tall shorter red jacket3. his gun open the rest of the people4. key safe5. calm a medalTask 2: Who’s the Murderer?A passing police car heard loud screams and responded immediately. Whenthe police arrived at the scene, hey found Pete’s dead body in his backyard, with man knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.Blake Smith had just finished painting his porch when the officer came. A young, polite man, Blake wiped his hands on his clean jeans before shaking hands, and said,” I really didn’t see or hear anything,” he added apologetically. Nelson Brown had been in his garden, right next door to the victim’s yard. He said,” I was in and out of the house. Weeding.” His hands were dirty. Then he added,” Inside, I was repairing a chair, It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry.”Kenny Green’s story seemed less believable.” I was on a ladder, washing my windows,” the middle-aged man admitted. The officer could see that Kenny’s yard overlooked the victim’s. But Kenny claimed,” I never looked over into Pete’s yard, nor did I hear anything.”Now the officer believed that one of the guys was lying. Who was this man?1. 1.A2.D3.C4.D5. BTask 3: The theft of personal informationThe list of institutions where personal information was reported to have been stolen or lost this year is long, including many large banks, hospitals, universities and automobile stores. These places contain large numbers of precious records coveted by ID thieves. Even the Department of Justice is reported to have lost personal records when a laptop was stolen.The most common causes for these incidents are reported to be hacking and lost records. Also, the theft of personal records can be an inside job, where employees who have access to computer systems are tempted to steal large volumes of customer personal data records. This temptation can be real, because stolen personal data can sell anywhere from $10 to 60$ per record.Identity theft can be happening to you right now and you don't know it until the damage was done. Even more disturbing is that newborns and the elderly are often the favourite victims of identity thieves, because the abuse of their personal information can go on longer before it is found out.Today, the theft of personal records is more dangerous than the loss of personal information through the careless discarding of credit card receipts ormail.-5 F T T F FSpeakingProtecting Intellectual Property RightsRichard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies ofbooks. It’s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the fullprice.Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don’t take action against illegal publications, they and theauthors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by loweringthe quality of their books.Richard: That’s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not onlyfor the publishers, but to consumers as well.Nancy: You said it. I’m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books aregetting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheapbooks.Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then saythey can’t afford books.Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsherpunishments.Power by YOZOSOFT。

I wish I knew what I wanted to do.Kate: Didn't you say something about teaching Janet: Yes, I'm thinking about it. I'm quite attracted to teaching. But I'm not really sure yet. Kate: Well, you've got lots of time. What about you, Mark What are your plansMark: I'm going to row for England.Kate: SeriouslyMark: No. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you've got to plan ahead— starting at the age of 12.Janet: So we're not doing very well.Mark: No.Kate: SoMark: Well ... I'm thinking of going into business management. It's a possibility.Janet: ReallyMark: Yes.Kate: Hey, let's go to the Careers Fair.

They said there's a possibility of a job placement as an intern over the summer. They're going to let meknow about it.Janet: Fantastic!Unit 8-Conversation 2Kate: You know that job placement I told you about — they've asked me to go for an interview. Janet: That's brilliant. WhenKate: Two weeks' time ...Interviewer: So what made you decide to study law, KateKate: A number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I've got a good brain, a good memory. And I'd certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money's good. Interviewer: Well, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV's very good. I seem to remember that you only want the work placement for six weeks.

Well, for the first few weeks, your main responsibility would be to readfiles and summarize them. We'd also want you to do some research for us. How does that sound Rather boringKate: No, not at all.

Interviewer: Good, well ... you'll be taking your first year exams soon, won't you Kate: Yes, in a few weeks' time.Interviewer: Well, provided they're OK, I think we can say you're in.Kate: Thank you — that's wonderful!Ka t e: Hey, guess whatJanet: WhatKate: They've accepted me. I start at the end of June.Janet: Well done!Unit 8-Outside viewEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.Unit 8-Listening inNews reportA survey of more than 14,000 UK residents has revealed that being an author is the most desired job in Britain. Sixty per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is ￡11,000, which is less than the minimum incom e. Librarians make between ￡19,500 and ￡29,500 annually, depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news reportPassage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all goingSpeaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1 It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for youSpeaker2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's havea look atyour file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades,you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on trackfor a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea whatyou'd like to doSpeaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot ofnovels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be aliterary editorSpeaker 2 That's right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hardprofession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than justliterature. For example, there's educational publishing,professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing,such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thingbut... you get the idea.Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1 First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.Speaker 2 Right. How do I find out who to write to Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher's Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2 Thank you.Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2 I'll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they're quite romantic about it,but there are other departments - marketing, sales, and theproduction side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful.But it'sliterary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how youget on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, I was frightened I'd go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It's the grammar I find difficult, there's so much to cover.Jessica It's extraordinary, isn't it We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a teaching English course and discover we don't know anything.Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica Jessica Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan —Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really - the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time. Patrick So you're teaching English because you want to travel Jessica Yes, that's part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it's a good career.Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do nextJessica Marketing, I think. I'm going to do a year here, then -1 hope - get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that's the plan.Patrick Sounds good.Harry What about you, Patrick Where have you worked Patrick I did three years in Italy - Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn. Harry.Harry Well, I'm not like you and Jessica. I'm just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.Jessica You don't see teaching English as a career Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry Harry I did a year's teaching in Brazil - Rio de Janeiro —such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.Patrick Cool. And thenHarry Two years in Mexico City ...Jessica You should be a travel writer.Harry I'm too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.Lucy Great!Harry Well, we're all giving our reasons forteaching English, so what's yours, LucyLucy Um -I think I'm going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it's great to be in Italy. I mean Venice, what more can you ask。

• 1.It is on a crowded bus. A man is seizing a woman by the throat. He probably wants to rob her. The woman is raising both of her hands and crying for help. There are many people around, some of whom are strong young men. But all of them seem to be very indifferent and frightened. No one does anything for the woman. • If I were the woman, I would give all my money to the robber. Once I were set free, I would tell the driver and ask him to take the bus directly to the police station.
Question: The society we live in today is not safe at all. Everyday different crimes are reported. Then what do you think are the effective way to prevent or reduce crime?
