Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueExercise: Listen to the dialogue and filling the blanks with the missing information.Serenading Service was founded three years ago when the singerrealize that British people were desperate for romance. He thought there would be a clientele for a hired serenader. The idea came from his studies of Renaissance music, which is full of serenades.Over the centuries, university students have turned the serenade into an art form for hire. Usually he is hired by men to sing love songs to women. Occasionally he is asked to sing to men.The service is really a form of intimate alfresco theatre with love songs. He usually wears a white tie and tails and sings amorous Italian songs. He will carry chocolate hearts or flowers and when there is no balcony available he will sing from trees or fire escapes!The fee depends on whether a musician comes along or not. The basic rate is ￡450but it can cost a lot more especially if he takes a gondola and a group of musicians along. Some people are so moved that they burst into tears, but some react badly. They try to find out as much as they can about their clients to avoid unpleasant situations. They have to be very careful these days because a serenade can be completely misinterpreted.Part 2 PassageEx. A. Pre-listening QuestionWhat memory strategies do you know that can help you remember thingsbetter1) Brain prioritizes by meaning, value and relevance.2) Your attitude has much to do with whether you remember something or not.3) Your understanding of new materials depends on what you already know.4) You can learn and remember better if you can group ideas into some sort of meaningful categories or groups.5) The brain's quickest and probably the longest-lasting response is to images.6) Memory is increased when facts to be learned are consciously associated with something familiar to you.Ex. B: Sentence Dictationare methods for remembering information that is otherwise quite difficult to recall.2. Our brains evolved to code and interpret complex stimuli such as images, colors, structures, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, positions, emotions and language.3. While language is one of the most important aspects of human evolution, it is only one of the many skills and resources available to our minds.4. Association is the method by which you link a thing to be remembered to a way of remembering it..5. Location gives you two things: a coherent context into which you can place information, and a way of separating one mnemonic from another.Ex. C: Detailed Listening.1. Mnemonics are tools which can help you to improve your memory. T. (Memory tools can help you to improve your memory. "Mnemonic" is another word for memory tool.)2. The fundamental principle of mnemonics is to make full use of the best functions of the brain to store information.T (The basic principle of mnemonics is to use as many of the best functions of your brain as possible to store information.)3. Information we have to remember is almost always presented in different ways.F (Unfortunately information we have to remember is almost always presented in only one way--as words printed on a page.)4. We can do four things to form striking images, which will help to make our mnemonics more memorable.T ( Use positive, pleasant images; use vivid, colorful, sense-laden images; use all your senses to code information or dressup an image; give our image three dimensions, movement and space.)5. There is one basic principle in the use of mnemonics.F (There are three fundamental principles underlying the use of mnemonics: imagination, association and location)6. Association is what we use to create and strengthen imagination.F (Imagination is what you use to create and strengthen the associations needed to create effective mnemonics.)7. You can choose the imagery in your mnemonics as you likeT (The imagery you use in your mnemonics can be as violent, vivid, or sensual as you like, as long as it help you to remember.)8. You can create associations by linking things using the same stimuli.T. (You can create associations by linking them using the same color, smell, shape, or feeling.)Ex. D: After-listening Discussion1. What is the basic principle of mnemonics Why can we improve our memory by following the principleTo use as many of the best functions of your brain as possible to store information.Evolved to code and interpret complex stimuli. Use these to makesophisticated models of the world.Our memories store all of these effectively.However, information is presented in only one way. Language is only one of the many skills and resources available to our minds.By coding languages and numbers in striking images,/ can reliable code both information and structure of information. Then easily recall these later.2. Why is a good memory important to usOpen.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex. A: Summarize the newsThis news item is about the Somali pirates’ strike.Ex. B: Listen to the news again and answer the questions.1.Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revengefor the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear.2.No, the pirates haven’t been deferred.3.Because the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remainso great and Somalia remains so lawless.4.At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen internationalwarships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometres.5.It may be because of the relatively small scale of the problem.Tape script of News Item One:The piracy problem looks like it's here to stay despite the recent muscular interventions by the French and American navies. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear. But it does suggest at the very least that the pirates haven't been deterred.So why does the problem persist Put simply maritime security analysts say piracy will continue as long as the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so great and Somalia remains so lawless. Certainly the international effort to thwart the problem is relatively limited. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometres. Although it has been suggested that raids could be mounted on the pirates' home towns, it seems unlikely there'll be any major increase in the military effort unless there's a spectacular hijacking involving the deaths of many crew members.The reluctance to mount a major international naval operation in the area may also be down to the relatively small scale of the problem. Last year, according to figures from the International Maritime Bureau, nearly twenty three thousand ships passed through the Gulf of Aden. Only ninety two were hijacked.Rob Watson, BBC NewsNews Item 2Ex. A: Listen to the news and complete the summaryThis news item is about Obama’s military plan in Afghanistan.Ex. B: True or false.1.The President is considering leaving Afghanistan.F. (The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan isnot an option.)2. Obama wouldn’t shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan, neither would he deploy more military troops.T.3. President Obama thought his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate".T.4. Opinions against Obama are not heard.F. (…some Republicans and me mbers of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight.)5. The conflict in Afghanistan seems to be over soon.F. (…about committing more resources and military per sonnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight.)6. Afghanistan can be the second Vietnam.T. (The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.) Script of News Item Two:The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan is not an option. It's not on the table. According to one White House source, he told the meeting that he wouldn't shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan or opt for a strategy of merely targeting al-Qaeda leaders. But he wouldn't be drawn on the military request for more troops.There appears to be a frustration that the review of strategy has sometimes been portrayed in black-and-white terms of a massive increase or reduction of troop numbers.President Obama told the group made up of the most senior Republican and Democrat senators and congressmen that his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate". But it's going ontoo long for some Republicans and members of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight. The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.The President was certainly right when he said his final decision wouldn't make everyone in the room, or the country, happy.Mark Mardell, BBC News, WashingtonNews Item 3Ex. A: Listen and summarize the news itemThis news item is about fragile peace that returns to Gaza.Ex. B: Listen again and fill in the blanks.There were traffic jams on the road north, families heading to Gaza City to reunite with friends and relatives. Long lines of cars backed up at the makeshift roadblocks the Israelis have left behind. But the tanks are gone, only the deep tracks remain.There were buildings pitted with Israeli tank rounds; from the holes that have been punched in the walls it was clear there had also been snipers waiting for them. North of Khan Younis we saw some of the Qassam fighters returning home, their rifles slung lazilyaround their shoulders.For three weeks the Israelis pounded the tunnels that run beneath the perimeter wall but last night we met people who insist that some of these tunnels are still open and still some fuel is being pumped from the Egyptian sider. If the border crossings remain close, say the Palestinians, these tunnels are their only link to the outside world.Script of News Item 3There were traffic jams on the road north, families heading to Gaza City to reunite with friends and relatives.

If the border crossings remain close, say the Palestinians, these tunnels are their only link to the outside world.Christian Fraser, BBC News, GazaSection FourPart 1 Feature reportExercise A:This news report is about the recreation of the prehistoric world in Liaoning, China, based on the scientific findings on fossils discovered there.Exercise B:1.35 prehistoric animals were created.2.They recreated the extinct beasts through the marriage of science,art and technology.3.The exhibit is not behind the glass or otherwise enclosed, sovisitors are eye to eye with extinct beasts. It is displayed in this way so that visitors will feel as if they’ve stepped intoa Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.4.He says it’s accurate because every single plant, every insect,every organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found as a fossil in northeastern China.5.The only thing scientists had to make up is what color some ofthe animals were.6.According to Michael Novacek, birds are living dinosaurs.7.They study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens andostriches to learn how similarly-built dinosaurs would stand or walk.8.By using high-tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gainedfrom the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower that the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.Script：Dinosaur Discoveries Made Possible through Art, Technology,Modern LivestockThe rolling hills of a province in northeastern China are now terraced for farming, but beneath that farmland are clues to a prehistoric world unlike any seen by human eyes - until this week.Some 130 million years after dinosaurs roamed the Liaoning forest, the world has been painstakingly recreated in New York City's American Museum of Natural History.The sound of the prehistoric forest is one of the few things that has been imagined in this 65 square-meter diorama. The gingko leaves, piney trees and life-sized models of 35 prehistoric animals were created through the marriage of science, art and technology, as every detail, down to the sleeping pose of a dinosaur, is based on scientific findings.The exhibit is not behind glass or otherwise enclosed, so visitors are eye-to-eye with extinct beasts, feeling as if they've stepped into a Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.Mark Norell is a paleontologist who has worked in Liaoning, searching for clues to recreate this prehistoric world."It's accurate because every single plant, every insect, every organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found as a fossil in northeastern China," he explained, "so the only thing that we had to sort of make up a little bit is what color some the animals were. Even though we know some of theme were patterned, but we know definitely that they were patterned, because we can seethat is the soft tissue remains, but we don't know what color they were but we try to be a little conservative in that regard, but nevertheless all the feathers you see, all the weird tail structures you see, is all stuff we found as fossils."Underneath the gingko trees, a feathered bird-like dinosaur chases on two legs after a large winged insect, the dinosaur's beak-like mouth open to reveal rows of jagged teeth. A sleeping dinosaur tucks its head beneath its arm, much as a modern goose tucks its head beneath its wing.The museum's curator of paleontology, Michael Novacek, explains that it is necessary to understand birds in order to better understand extinct creatures."The reason birds are so important to us is really a fact we weren't so aware of 10, 20 years ago is that birds are living dinosaurs. They're not just related to dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs," he stressed. "They're a branch of dinosaurs, so conveniently enough dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct. One group, the birds, survived."Scientists study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens and ostriches to learn how similarly built dinosaurs would stand or walk.Researchers even created a computer model of a giant chicken to learn more about the movements of the ever popular Tyrannosaurus Rex. By using high tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gained from the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower than the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.These scientific findings are passed along to model designers, such as the creator of a six-foot-long mechanical T-Rex, a highlight of the new exhibit. The menacing skeleton's tail sways and its head bobs as the extinct dinosaur shifts its weight, plodding in place - yet another example of the never-before-seen becoming altogether real when science and technology meet art.Part 2 PassageExercise B1.The goal of this study was to determine what type of “gaze” isrequired to have this effect.2.The Queen’s study showed that the total amount of gaze receivedduring a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.3.The eye contact experiment used computer-generated images formactors who conveyed different levels of attention.4.The researchers concluded that people in group discussions willspeak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members.5.The effect of eye gaze has literally fascinated people throughoutthe ages.6.Exercise C1.

These images were presented to the subjects, who believed they were in an actual three-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any time in the conversation. The researchers concluded that people in group discussions will speak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members and the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.2.Open.Script:Eye Contact Shown To Affect Conversation Patterns, GroupProblem-Solving AbilityNoting that the eyes have long been described as mirrors of the soul, a Queen's computer scientist is studying the effect of eye gaze on conversation and the implications for new-age technologies, ranging from video conferencing to speech recognition systems.Dr. Roel Vertegaal, who is presenting a paper on eye gaze at an international conference in New Orleans this week, has found evidence to suggest a strong link between the amount of eye contact people receive and their degree of participation in group communications. Eye contact is known to increase the number of turns a person will take when part of a group conversation. The goal of this study was to determine what type of "gaze" (looking at a person's eyes and face) is required to have this effect.Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any time in the conversation. The Queen's study showed that the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.The findings have important implications for the design offuture communication devices, including more user-friendly and sensitive video conferencing systems – a technology increasingly chosen in business for economic and time-saving reasons – and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) which support communication between people and machines. Dr. Vertegaal's group is also implementing these findings to facilitate user interactions with large groups of computers such as personal digital assistants and cellular phones.The eye contact experiment used computer-generated images from actors who conveyed different levels of attention (gazing at the subject, gazing at the other actor, looking away, and looking down). These images were presented to the subjects, who believed they were in an actual three-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. The researchers concluded that people in group discussions will speak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members. There was no relationship between the impact of the eye contact and when it occurred."The effect of eye gaze has literally fascinated people throughout the ages," says Dr. Vertegaal, whose paper, Explaining Effects of Eye Gaze on Mediated Group Conversations: Amount or Synchronization was presented this week at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Computer SupportedCooperative Work."Sumerian clay tablets dating back to 3000 BC already tell the story of Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld, who had the power to kill Inanna, goddess of love, with a deadly eye," says Dr. Vertegaal. "Now that we are attempting to build more sophisticated conversational interfaces that mirror the communicative capabilities of their users, it has become clear we need to learn more about communicative functions of gaze behaviors."。

His teacher (6) assigned 21 lines of the Iliad* to be memorized (7) in a week. At the end of the hour - though he (8) insisted he paid full attention to the (9) lecture - Stephen knew all 21. He went on to memorize the first (10) 100 lines.In 1978, for the first time (11) since college, Powelson, now 60, had some (12) spare time. To keep his mind active, he reread the Iliad and (13) discovered thathe still knew the first 100 lines (14) by heart.That someone could memorize so much between ages 60 and 70 is (15) astonishing to most people, who are (16) convinced that memory (17) worsens as we grow older.Powelson's method is to (18) read a book into his tape recorder, then read it several more times, making sure he understands (19) each word. "Also," he says, "I attempt to (20) visualize myself as part of the action."Part 2 Listening for GistYou might not know how rarely images are viewed directly through telescopes.The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The processis very simple. First, a photographic plate is coated with a light-sensitive material. The plate is positioned so that the image received by the telescope isrecorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged, and published sothat many people can study it.Because most astronomical objects are very remote, the light we receive fromthem is rather feeble. But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way, objects can be photographed that are ahundred times too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.1)This passage is about how to photograph astronomical objects.2)Photograph, coated, light-sensitive material, positioned, received, recorded,developed, enlarged, published, remote, feeble, telescope, camera, longexposuresSection Two Listening ComprehensionPart one DialogueTunisian HolidayVocabularyamphitheatremosaiccoach n. 公共马车，普通旅客车厢resort n. 胜地，常去之地(Someone is enquiring about the Tunisian holiday.)Agent: Hello, Bath Travel.Client: Hello, I'd like to find out more about your Tunisian holiday for amateur archaeologists.

Most of the adult grey wolves weigh in the vicinity of 75 to 125 pounds (34 to 56 kilograms). Wolves livein family groups called packs. A pack is usually made up of a male parent, a female parent, their pups and a few other adult wolves who are the olderbrothers and sisters. Wolves can run up to 40 miles an hour and can easily cover 50 miles a day.The wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the most inhospitable of climates. The wolves in the high arctic endure several winter months of perpetual darkness. Even in February when the sun returns to the north,C and bitter winds are common. In the wild wolves can live temperatures of -40°up to 13 years or more; in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of land, a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old.1)After more than a century of assault by humans, the wolf population haddwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and theAmerican southwest.2)The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a "wild"population of at least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 squarekilometers.3)Decisions about mating, movement among the 45 captive-breeding facilitiesand releases into the wild are made by a US-Mexican committee ofscientists, land owners and others.4)A wolf with rare genes - until it has successfully reproduced - will never beof the high mortality rate in the wild.released because·5)The recovery program is gradually moving away from freeingcaptive-born wolves, as the population of pups born free takes off.****Francisco and Sheila were pioneers in a federal program in Eureka, 32 kilometers southwest of S1. Louis, the United States, to restore the endangered Mexican gray wolf, the rarest and most genetically distinct subspecies of gray wolf in North America.After more than a century of assault by humans, the wolf population had dwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and the American southwest.The research center, popularly known as the Wolf Sanctuary*, was foundedin 1971 by Marlin Perkins, a world-renowned naturalist and former director ofthe St. Louis Zoo, and his wife Carol. Besides the Mexican wolf, the sanctuary works with the endangered red wolf, maned wolf (maned: 有鬃毛的; maned wolf 鬣狼), swift fox and African wild dogs.In the late 1970s, the last seven known wolves were captured in the wild or taken from zoos to begin the breeding program. In 1981, the first captive-bred litter of Mexican gray wolves produced in the federal program was born at the WildCanid (犬科动物) Center, and the first release into the wild took place in 1998.The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a "wild" population ofat least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 square kilometers.Though in captivity themselves, Francisco and Sheila taught their pups so well that many are thriving in the wild. They were ideal parents. They raised 25 babies, taught them good survival skills and sent many of them off to live on their own.Nine of Francisco and Sheila's offspring were among the first 11 captive-born Mexican gray wolves released in 1998. Both parent wolves have since died - Francisco at age 14 in December. Sheila at age 16 in June 2000 - but they lived, as captive wolves often do, roughly twice as long as wolves in the wild. Today the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center in Eureka estimates that98 percent of Mexican wolves released from the federal program are descendants of the prolific* lobo* pair. （lobo=timber wolf）About 250 lobos now live in captivity at 45 US and Mexican facilities. TheWild Canid Center, however, has produced more puppies and housed more Mexican grays than any other facility.The Wild Canid Center is ideated* on 25 isolated hectares(公顷) within Washington University's Tyson Research Center.

Astroland's 22 rides and three game arcades provided jobs for up to 300 people.Astroland has been by far the biggest amusement center on Coney Island, which has been a favorite holiday destination for Americans in the New York area since the 19th Century. It is the birthplace of the hot dog and is known for its kitschy rides, street performers, sand beaches and family-friendly atmosphere.But Astroland's final chapter may be still to come. A few days after the park's announced closure, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said hope is not yet lost, and that city officials are trying to step in and get a one-year renewal of Astroland's lease.A.Astroland’s announced closureB.1.

No. The city officials are trying to step in and get a one-year renewal ofAstroland's lease.News Item 2It's called the "Highline." It's a newly renovated and elevated promenade that was once a railway line for delivering cattle and other food stock. In 1980, the train made its last delivery, bringing frozen turkeys to lower Manhattan. In a densely populated city, the Highline now provides open space for relaxation as it winds through neighborhoods once noted for slaughterhouses.It's an oasis in a sea of concrete. The walkway includes more than 100 species of plants inspired by the wild landscape left after the trains stopped running. New construction is everywhere. Apartments, office towers, restaurants and even a museum have sprouted alongside the promenade.The first section of the Highline was inaugurated in May, after 15 years of planning and political battles. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with benefactors like clothing designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, media mogul Barry Diller, cut the ribbon.The first two sections of the Highline cost $152 million. Of that, $44 million was raised by the public. To those who visit, it seems it was well worth the wait and the money.News Item3African American History MuseumAn old Greyhound Bus* terminal sits unused in the heart of downtown Dothan, Alabama. It's hardly noticeable, nestled between two office buildings and surrounded by a chain link fence. There are no written signs that hint of the structure's controversial history. Four decades ago it was a symbol of racial segregation. During the 1960s, bus terminals like other public facilities throughout the American south were divided into white areas and black areas.The building still has the separate entrance and restroom facilities that black customers were legally required to use. Today, those elements have a different social value, and they will become one of the centerpieces of a new African American history museum.The museum will include galleries devoted to the accomplishments of George Washington Garver* and other black scientists and inventors. There will be a gallery depicting black heroes of military and social campaigns.And the city of Dothan is helping. It's providing the museum with some financial support, and it's already promoting the attraction to visitors. The G-W Carver Interpretive Museum should open doors by August and its director Francina Williams hopes to capitalize on Alabama's historic role . the center of America's Civil Rights movement. When visitors come to Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery to learn about the struggles that African Americans have endured, she would like them I make a side trip to Dothan to see what African Americans have contributed to Alabama, America Id the world.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an African American history museum showing the struggles and contributions f African Americans.Exercise BDirection: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statementsare true (T) or false (F).1.F2. T3. F4.F5.T6. T7. F8.TSection Four supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Feature ReportLamaina grew up listening to her grandfather's stories of Garaguso. Tommaso Lamaina immigrated from Garaguso to Philadelphia in the 1920s in search of work. But he never let his family forget the place where generations of their forefathers had lived.The stories inspired Lamaina’s dream of developing her own relationship with a place she was never able to visit with her grandfather, who died when she was a teenager. So in 2000, with years of experience as a professional photographer behind her, she decided to begin an annual pilgrimage to Garaguso to capture life there on film.Garaguso is a farming village, home to about 1,500 people, in the mountainous region of Basilicata, located in the instep of Italy's boot. It's one of the most remote and least developed zones in the country. After decades o f emigration, it's sparsely populated. One out of seven of thepeople who remain can't read or write.Lamaina's photos show a Garaguso that seems hardly to have changed in centuries, an anachronism compared with a very modern Italy. Taken in black and white, they show the winding cobblestone streets and ancient buildings of the historical centre. There are donkeys, loaded up with kindling for the open fires and stoves, which still warm the houses.There are portraits of men with gnarled faces, wearing black pants and white shirts from a past era. There's the local baker, whose family has been selling bread in the same building since the late 1700s. There are women with white hair and no teeth, dressed in black.Arriving in the village where her family had lived for generations was like a homecoming for Lamaina. She grew up in an inner-city neighborhood of Philadelphia, in the bosom of an immigrant southern Italian community. At home, her relatives spoke the dialect of Garaguso rather than English.But over the years, the reserve has lessened. Lamaina admits, and her work shows, that life in Garaguso is not easy. The locals work from sunup to sundown in the fields, tending their crops and animals. They eat what they produce. Little is imported and nothing goes to waste. But she believes it's rich in the things that matter, like generosity, hospitality and family ties. In this respect, she says, the village has something to teach those who see her work.Lamaina recently held an exhibition of her work in Florence, where she now lives. She's also giving a copy of her images to City Hall in Garaguso.After eight years of recording life there, Susanna Lucia Lamaina's not ready to put away her camera yet. She says she has many more photographs to take and hopes her work will put her family village on the map. Her grandfather, Tommaso Lamaina, would have been proud.A.Susanna Lucia Lamaina’s recording life in Garaguso.B.T,T,T, T,T,F,T,FPart 2 PassageSafari1)A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and off wewalked toward the lion's den.2)He couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of theday's last light.3)Just a meter away from the lions a straggling buffalo loped by, but ourappearance seemed to distract them and the buffalo got away.4)Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways.Our guides knelt in the sand, pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.5)Thrashing in the water a mauve-colored hippo grunted, snapped his giantjaws, and lunged forward.We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river.A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and offwe walked toward the lion's den*. We glanced at each other nervously, but forged ahead. My friends and I had come to experience the African bush on foot, so, gulping, we fell in shaky step behind our two ranger guides. Their rifles wereat the ready. So were our zoom lenses. Seeing lions was a special treat, even for our veteran guide, and he couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of the day's last light.About 150 meters ahead we counted 10 lions sitting in a semicircle in the grass. Their heads poked up through the grass thicket, listening, aware.Just a meter away from the lions a straggling* buffalo loped by. Perhaps the lions' intended dinner But our appearance seemed to distract them and thebuffalo got away.We were in the Kruger National Park*, the largest game park in South Africa, on a guided walking safari.Kruger National Park is the country's main game* reserve. Roughly the sizeof Wales, it stretches for almost 2.5 million hectares across a maze of ecozones from flat scrubby bush, dense shrub-like Mopane tree covered hillsides to lush valleys.For three nights home was a circle of thatched roof two-person huts tucked behind a leafy grove of trees in an enclosed camp that included toilets and hot (mostly) showers.Dinner was served around an open fire, a massive kettle of hot water for teaor coffee steaming on a nearby pile of smoldering coals.The only light after dark were swaths of luminous stars overhead and ourkerosene* lanterns.We joked that we had arrived to the catered version of "Survivor".The first morning we climbed out from beneath mosquito nets to the muffled sounds of an elephant munching on a tree behind our huts, which were separated only by several meters and a wire mesh fence.As if the elephant was not wake-cup call enough, outside each hut a jug of water had been poured into a plastic basin for a quick face wash before hittingthe trails.Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways through baobab* and kudu* berry trees. Our guides knelt in the sand, pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.A line in the sand told a crocodile had recently slipped into a nearby pool.Later we saw a crocodile sunning on a rock not far from where we had been swimming the day before.In the same area we had a sunset sighting of a mauve*-colored hippo* who was not happy to see us.Thrashing in the water he grunted, snapped his giant jaws, and lunged* forward. We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river where welater got a glimpse at a family of baboons*.On our last evening streaks of orange made the sky glow as if on tangerine* fire. We were all on a high from our lion sighting.I inhaled the colors, the silhouette* of buffalos grazing near a watering hole, the evening dropped in temperature and squeezed a friend's hand.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionHere are the top parks for anAfrican safari:The beautiful Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the world-famous Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the lush green Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park in Botswana and the Etosha National Park in Namibia.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Take notes and complete the following summary.People want frogs mostly for food. Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries —or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the UnitedStates are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians*. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog’s legs from India cost about ￡1.75, compared with ￡3.75 for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as “disastrous”the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring* damaging insects.Since the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belong to frogs that are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearlyimpossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested from the wild.KeyA. 1.

Sauna andJacuzzi are both ￡1.50 for half an hour.Interviewer: And is the club doing well?Lorna: Well, so far, yes, it’s doing really well. I had no idea it was going to be such a success, actually.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of thequestions you will hear.Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It isa good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants arenormally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides state-of-theart* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, anintermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* two-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the “Paris school holiday week”which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. True, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you’re looking for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance. The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don’t use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well, use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don’t usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age.Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft.Always secure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don’t carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Questions:1. How large are the ski resorts in France?2. Why do people prefer to eat lunch at the mountain restaurants?3. How do most of the French resorts operate?4. What kind of vacation do French students usually have?5. What kind of unfair reputation do the French have?6. What is recommended when greeting someone or saying good-bye?7. What are good topics of conversation?8. What is still necessary when visiting France?C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA. Skiing can be divided into cross-country skiing and alpine skiing. Cross-country skiing is a low-impact, aerobic activity. It is becoming increasingly popular. It can be enjoyed even if you have a relatively low skill level. It does not require exorbitant lift fees, and it has a relatively low injury rate (cross-country skiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing).Skiing uses more muscles than running and is less stressful on the legs.Alpine or downhill skiing is a popular family sport shared by people of all ages and athletic abilities. It has less benefits for aerobic fitness than cross-country skiing because activity is usually in short bursts, but it is good for strengthening muscles particularly those in the upper leg. Alpine skiing is also a tough sport, particularly demanding on the legs.B. 1. C 2. A 3. A 4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 8. DC. 1. Because there are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that islarger than all the ski resorts in Utah and Colorado combined.2. Because in a French resort an intermediate skier who can read a lift mapwill easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.3. This staggered two-week winter vacation period usually covers the lasttwo weeks of February and the first week of March.4. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Generally they are askind as you wish.5. In large cities in France, always secure your vehicles, leave nothing ofvalue visible and don’t carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware ofbegging children!D. 1. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountainsfor this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of Februaryand the first week of March.2. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as youwish. The most fractious Frenchman is easily disarmed by a littlesincerity.Part 4 NewsNews item 1 India’s Selfie CampaignScriptA. Listen to the news item and answer the following questions. Then givea brief summary about the news item.Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a campaign on social media. The campaign is aimed at recognizing and celebrating the lives of girls. It is part of the Indian government’s “Save Daughter, T each Daughter”movement, which began earlier this year.The Indian leader used a radio broadcast last Sunday to urge people topublish photographs taken with their daughters on social media. He expressed hope that this could revolutionize the movement to save the country’s girls.Sexual inequality has long been a major problem in India’s highly patriarchal* society. For years, Indian families have wanted boys more than girls.In India, many girls are considered inferior to boys. Some are even killed before they are born or as newborns because they are thought to be less desirable. For every 1,000 boys up to the age of six years, India has 914 girls.It was not just fathers in India who answered Mr. Modi’s call. Fathers in countries as far away as Sweden also postedpictures with daughters.Social activists hope this campaign will not just be another public relations effort, but will support India’s push to give its daughters the same positions as its sons.B.

Experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses.5. Witnesses give better descriptions when they are encouraged to recall the scene of thecrime.B. Listen to a talk about identifying criminals. Take notes and complete the followingoutline.Can computers help the police to identify criminals? Experts now think computers can make it easier for the police to find people they want to question.At present, the system most widely used by the British police is called Photofit.Witnesses describe a suspect and then a picture is built up like a jigsaw, using five differentsets of features. These are: hair, eyes, nose, mouth and chin. This system can be very useful in finding criminals, but only in one case out of twenty. Quite often, almost half the time, in fact, Photofit pictures are misleading. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the picture may look nothing at all like the suspect. Secondly, the likeness may be so general that it is not at all helpful. And unfortunately, a bad likeness can lead to the arrest of an innocent person.Witnesses’ attitudes can influence their descri ptions. In a recent experiment, a group of people was shown a picture of a man and told that he was a mass murderer. When asked to produce Photofit pictures of this man, they made pictures that showed a murderous-looking individual. But at the same time, a second group was shown the same picture and told that the same man was a lifeboat captain who had received a medal for bravery. When the second group produced Photofit pictures, these showed a man who was handsome and well-groomed.The police have another way of identifying criminals. Police records contain tens of thousands of photographs of people convicted of crimes. Witnesses can look through these in the hope of recognizing suspects; however, it has been discovered that a witness begins to forget the culp rit’s features after spending a long time looking through these photographs.A computer system called FRAME (Face Retrieval and Matching Equipment) combinesthe best features of both methods. All the photographs on record are put on the computer file.When a witness describes a suspect, the computer searches the file for photographs that fit the description. The witness is then presented with a small number of photographs to look through.Of course, this system, as it exists at present, will only help to identify people whose photographs are already on police files. So now, experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses. One thing they have discovered is that witnesses give better descriptions when they are encouraged to recall the scene of the crime.They do not need to go there; just imagining the scene works just as well.KeyA. 1.

Listen to the dialogue and complete the following report.Interviewer: Mr. Burton, you say that you have seen a UFO. Is that right?Mr. Burton: Yes, absolutely right. It happened just over a year ago.Interviewer: And where was this?Mr. Burton: Near my home in Aldershot, in the south of England. I live near the bigmilitary base in Aldershot.Interviewer: What time of day was it?Mr. Burton: It was about one o’clock in the morning. I was out fishing. The weatherforecast said it was going to be a warm, clear night with no clouds, andthat’s perfect for fishing.Interviewer: And what happened?Mr. Burton: Well, I saw a bright light coming towards me at about three hundred feet, and then it started to land. It was behind some trees, but I could see itclearly because there was a full moon. Then I saw two forms comingtowards me, and when they were about five feet away, they just stoppedand looked at me for a good ten or fifteen seconds.Interviewer: What did they look like?Mr. Burton: They were quite small, about four feet tall, dressed in green suits from head to foot, and they had helmets of the same colour with a red visor*,so I couldn’t see their faces. They both carried space guns. Interviewer: Did they speak to you?Mr. Burton: Yes. The one on the right said “Come this way, please.”Interviewer: Weren’t you frightened? ... I mean, weren’t you surprised that they spoke English?Mr. Burton: They spoke in a funny accent. It sounded more like a machine talking than a person. No, I wasn’t frightened. I don’t know why. The one whospoke started to walk towards the light, and I followed him, with theother one behind me. We got to a wall and the first “form” just walkedthrough it! I coul dn’t believe it! I had to climb over it, and then we got tothe spaceship.Interviewer: What did that look like?Mr. Burton: It was about forty-five feet across, and silver, very, very shiny, and there were round windows all round the side.Interviewer: Did you go inside?Mr. Burton: Yes, I did. There were steps going up, and we went into an octagonal* room. I stood there for about ten minutes. The walls, the floor, and theceiling were all bla ck. I couldn’t see any controls or instruments, butthere was a central column going up from the floor to the ceiling, aboutfour feet wide, right in the middle of the room.Interviewer: Were there any more of these “forms”?Mr. Burton: No, just the two. Suddenly, one of them said “Stand under the red light.”I couldn’t see any red light, but then I moved to the right and I could seeit up on the wall, just under the ceiling. I stood there for about fiveminutes, and then a voice said “What is your age?” I said“Seventy-four.”Then they told me to turn around. After about five more minutes one ofthem said “You can go. You are too old and ill for our purposes.” So I leftand went back, to the river.Interviewer: Did the spaceship take off?Mr. Burton: Yes, I heard a very high-pitched noise, like a scream, and the thing took off straight into the sky and disappeared. I sat by the river and watched itgo. This was about two o’clock.Interviewer: Then what did you do?Mr. Burton: Next morning I went to the police, and in the afternoon someone from theMinistry of Defense came to my house to interview me. He told me tokeep quiet about the whole thing, and tell absolutely no one. I thoughtthis was very strange, but I did as he told me.Interviewer: Why have you decided to tell people about it now?Mr. Burton: Because I want people to know what happened to me. I didn’t use tobelieve in UFOs, but now I know they exist. I think governments aretrying to hide something, but people have a right to know.Interviewer: Thank you, Mr. Burton, very much.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.One of the strangest and most fascinating things about Scotland is the Loch* Ness Monster. Some people believe in the mo nster’s existence. Many do not!However, very important bodies of people do believe there is some truth in the famous monster story: experts from Britain’s Roy al Air Force*, scientists from the Boston Academy of Applied Science* and computer specialists from NASA (National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration, U.S.A.)*, to mention but a few!Loch Ness is an enormous lake in Northern Scotland. It is about twenty-four miles long and one mile wide, and has an approximate depth of 1,000 feet, which makes it very difficult for anybody to find and examine the highly elusive* monster. In fact the first convincing reports of people seeing the monster date from only about six years before the beginning of the Second World War. Since then there have been other sightings, and photographs of the monster have been taken! Many of these photographs have later been recognised as fakes —silly jokes played on an unsuspecting public! However, other photographs have amazed the most searching scientific minds. In fact, it seems certain that something (and probably several of them) does exist in the deep waters of Loch Ness. The most amazing photographs show a flipper* —the flipper perhaps of a very large animal (twenty or thirty feet long, it is imagined).From these photos, the British specialist in animal life, Sir Peter Scott, who is also an artist, has constructed this picture of what he believes the monster might look like.But where did the monster come from? Did it mysteriously climb out of a prehistoric world beneath the earth’s crust*? Did i t originally swim into the lake from the sea? Before the Ice Age, Loch Ness opened into the sea. Was the young monster’s egg frozen into the ice of the Ice Age? And somehow did the monster come alive again when the ice went away? We just do not know! Can we ever find the answers to all the questions surrounding the legend* of the Loch Ness Monster, do you think?Questions:1. How many people believe in the monster’s existence in the Loch Ness?2. How many important bodies are mentioned who do believe there is some truth in thefamous monster story?3. How large is Loch Ness in Northern Scotland?4. When was the first convincing reports of people seeing the monster published?5. What have been discovered later about many photographs?6. Where can we be sure that something does exist?7. How long is the flipper according to the passage?8. What did Sir Peter Scott do?C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA.

The flight was the most dangerous part of the plane’s planned 35,000-kilometer trip around the world. The trip is being made without using any fuel.The name of the plane is Solar Impulse 2. Pilot André Borschberg now holds the record for the longest non-stop solo flight in history.During the trip Mr. Borschberg slept in the cockpit* of the plane for regular periods of20 minutes. During those periods, the airplane used autopilot*.The plane is made from carbon-fiber* mater ial. The plane’s wingspan is 72 meters. That is longer than the wingspan of a Boeing 747 plane. It has just one seat and weighs about as much as an automobile. The plane’s wings have 17,000 solar cells* that gather energy from the sun and charge the plane’s batteries.The airplane has stopped in many places, including Oman, India, Myanmar and China.The plane will make up to three stops in the United States. It will then cross the Atlantic Ocean, stopping in southern Europe and North Africa. In late July or early August, the plane will land in Adu Dhabi, where the trip began in early March.B.

You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.Mark Twain was thought by many knowledgeable observers to smoke the worst cigars in the world.“They bring their own cigars when they come to my house,” he once remarked.“They betray an unmanly terror when I offer them a cigar; they tell lies and hurry away to meet engagements which they have not made when they are threatened with the hospitalities* of my box.” Twain, felt unhappy, conducted an experiment.He invited twelve personal friends to supper one night. One of them was as notorious* for costly and elegant cigars as Mark Twain was for cheap and devilish ones.Before that day Mark Twain called at his house and when no one was looking borroweda handful of his cigars which cost him forty cents apiece and bore red-and-gold labels in signof their nobility.Then Mark Twain removed the labels and put the cigars into a box with his favorite brand on it.They took these cigars when offered at the end of the supper, and lit them and struggled with them —in dreary* silence. Then they made excuses and filed out, treading* on one another’s heels with indecent eag erness; and in the morning when Mark Twain went out to observe results the cigars lay all between the front door and the gate.All except one — that one lay in the plate of the man who could stand only one or two whiffs*. He told Mark Twain afterward that someday Twain would get shot for giving people that kind of cigar to smoke.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Passage“MegaSkills” for ChildrenScriptA. Listen to the passage and complete the outline.MegaSkills is a program used in schools across the United States. This program trains adults to help children develop the skills needed for what educators call lifelong learning.MegaSkills is based on the idea that parents and teachers can help children gain skills through normal, daily activities.Dorothy Rich created the program. She heads a nonprofit organization in Washington,DC, called the Home and School Institute.Dorothy Rich identified eleven major skills that children need to succeed in life. She based them on information she gathered from educators and employers. She describes them as “inner engines of learning” for school and work.These MegaSkills include feeling able to do what is needed, and wanting to do it. Being willing to work hard and doing what is right are other MegaSkills. So are completing what you start, showing concern for others, and using good judgment. Dorothy Rich says children also need to learn how to solve problems, and how to work with a goal in mind.MegaSkills Education Online offers suggestions for activities to build these skills. For example, there are ideas about how parents can help children get organized in school. Parents can begin by helping a child plan a school project, like a science project.A parent can suggest that the child think about all the supplies needed for the project.What special supplies might the child need? The child can write down each step required for the project, then number the steps to help follow them.Other ideas offer ways to help younger children plan their time. MegaSkills Education Online suggests that parents and children list activities for a day when there is no school. For example, the family might p lan to wake up at eight o’clock and eat breakfast by nine.As the day progresses, children can write down the time they start each activity on the list. At the end of the day, the family can see how close they came to following their plan.MegaSkills says this exercise is one way to reduce the time spent watching television. It can also increase the time children spend on schoolwork.There are other free suggestions and activities at the MegaSkills website.B.

You might not care as much for your dinner if they were not buzzing around your neighborhood.“If we didn’t have pollinators the only kinds of foods we could eat would be wind-pollinated* vegetables such as grasses, grains and grapes, things of that nature.”Jeff Miller runs a company that sells beekeeping supplies. This company partnered with the Walker Jones Elementary School to start this community garden — tended by students and local volunteers.“Well, you can’t talk about urban farming withou t talking about pollinators any more than you could talk about urban farming without talking about water or sunlight.”“A lot of the aspects of your life are impacted by the pollination services that honeybees provide.”Researcher Heidi Wolff first surrounded herself with bees as a teen 13 years ago. Now she studies them at George Washington University.“Plants do not thrive without pollination. They cannot complete their life cycle without pollination. And bees provide that service.”And while many people worry about being stung by bees, both Miller and Wolff say that’s a big misunderstanding.“These are not aggressive beings. They’re rather gentle. We’ve been trying to prove that with our proximity* here. ”That’s because if they sting you, their stingers fall off and th ey will die.“It is a little bit of a kamikaze* kind of situation, yeah, but the reality is: we haven’t hada stinging incident here [in the garden] anyway.”Miller says that’s because bees don’t care too much about people in the first place.“Bees are just focused on doing their own work. And t hey’re not really interested in being bothered by humans. They’re not interested in you. They’re just there to collect nectar* and pollen* and bring it back to the colony*.”Miller says it takes about $400 to start your own hive*, but that each one yields about 45 kilograms of honey every year. But, Wolff cautions would-be amateur beekeepers to do some research first.“You don’t just want to get a box of bees, throw it somewhe re and just hope you figure it out. Becaus e that’s when you get problems.That’s when your neighbors get scared. That’s when people get stung.”And that’s bad for business. Wolff says bees need a ll the positive press possible, and irresponsible beekeepers do more harm than good to the pollination process.。

A senior official said the next manned mission will be in 2007, when the astronauts will attempt a space walk. After that, scientists will focus on developing the capability to rendezvous* and dock* with other spacecraft. He added that China also wanted to recruit female astronauts in the near future.The announcement comes just hours after the country's second manned space mission touched down in the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The returning astronauts have been given a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a nationally televised parade. Thousands of soldiers and groups of schoolchildren lined the route, waving Chinese flags. It's a sign of the great importance China attaches to its space program, viewing it as a source of national pride and international prestige.A: …about China’s ambitious space program.B:1. Landing spot: in the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia2.

Focus of further development: the capability to rendezvous and dock withother spacecraft3. Recruitment of astronauts: to recruit female astronauts in the near future. News Item 2China's economy has recovered earlier and more strongly than any other. This latest data is further evidence of that trend. The rise in industrial output confirms what factory owners have been saying for some time now, that customers have been restocking* their inventories and confidence is returning.There are still question marks though over the stability of the recovery. The property* sector* is showing signs of overheating. The government this week announced measures to try to cool it. At the same time officials decided to extend tax subsidies* for purchases of small vehicles and appliances suggesting that some here still believe Chinese manufacturers need government support.Growth was strongest in heavy industries such as coal, steel, power generation and automobiles. Consumer prices rose in November for the first time since February. But the rise was small and probably reflected higher food prices caused by early snowstorms which destroyed crops and disrupted transport.A: … about the growth of China’s economy.News Item 3If you visit almost any marketplace in Africa, many of the consumer goods on sale, from buckets to razor blades to hurricane lamps, are likely to be Chinese. In a very large number of African capitals, the main football stadium is likely to have been built with Chinese aid money.Sino-African trade, and aid, is large and growing. Some estimates put it as high as 12 billion dollars a year. Although direct comparisons are difficult, the links between the world's largest developing country, China, and the world's largest developing continent could grow to challenge the post-colonial links between Europe and Africa. The meeting in Addis Ababa* had heard Chinese promises to cancel debts, grant duty-free access into China for African products and increase Chinese investments in Africa.A: … about China’s large and growing trade with and aid to Africa.B：1.In many African capitals, the main football stadium is likely to have been builtwith Chinese aid money.2.It is estimated that Sino-African trade, and aid, amounts to as high as 12 billiondollars a year.3.The links between China and Africa could grow to challenge the post-coloniallinks between Europe and Africa.4.On the meeting in Addis Ababa, China promised to cancel debts, grant duty-freeaccess into China for African products and increase Chinese investments in Africa.Unit 2Section 1Listening and Translation1.Some people fear they do not get enough vitamins from the foods they eat.2.So they take products with large amounts of vitamins.3.They think these vitamin supplements will improve their health and protectagainst disease.4.Medical experts found little evidence that most supplements do anything toprotect or improve health.5.but they noted that some do help to prevent disease.1.有些人担心他们并未从所吃的食物中获取足够的维生素。

Green, a native of Mineral Ridge, Ohio, who graduated from Wright State in June.The son and grandson of factory workers, he was exactly the type of student that Wright State had been established to serve -- and the type that it is having more and more trouble serving.Mr. Green says he could not have stayed in his hometown and found work because too many of the local factories have closed and "there are no jobs."He saw earning a degree in management-information systems as the key to making a decent living, and he had come to Wright State because it was more affordable than the other colleges that he considered.The problem for many Wright State students is that "affordable" is becoming a relative term in public higher education. As is generally the case in periods of economic stagnation, even the least-expensive public colleges have been hitting their students with one hefty tuition increase after another.Wright State still charges less than 9 of Ohio's 13 public universities, and its recent tuition increases are in line with those adopted by other public four-year colleges around the nation. But after several consecutive years of double-digit or near-double-digit tuition increases, it costs nearly 50 percent more for in-state undergraduates to enroll here than it did four years ago. Most will pay over $6,000 in tuition for the 2004-5 academic year, which gets under way this week.The easiest choices for policy makers in an economic downturn are often the ones that cause tuition to rise. Lawmakers would much rather reduce state spending than raise taxes to close budget gaps caused by a sour economy. And because public colleges have an alternative source of revenue -- tuition -- it is easier for lawmakers to cut spending on higher education than on most other public services. Meanwhile, many public colleges seem convinced that it is much better to raise tuition than to eliminate academic programs, trim salaries, or lay off employees.It takes visiting a fairly typical public college like Wright State to see that relying on such tuition increases to finance such institutions has real costs, extending well beyond the dollar figures that show up on students' tuition bills. In an interview here last spring, Mr. Green said he expected to graduate with $25,000 in college-related debt. He was working 30 hours a week on campus just to make ends meet, and his efforts to finance his college education were getting in the way of his efforts to learn.

Listen to some sentences and fill in the blanks with the missing words.1. Computers can make it easier for the police to find peoplethey want to question.2. A bad likeness can lead to the arrest of an innocent person.3. A witnes s begins to forget the culprit’s features afterspending a long time looking through these photographs.4. Experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses.5. Witnesses give better descriptions when they are encouragedto recall the scene of the crime.B. Listen to a talk about identifying criminals. Take notes andcomplete the following outline.Can computers help the police to identify criminals? Experts now think computers can make it easier for the police to find people they want to question.At present, the system most widely used by the British police is called Photofit. Witnesses describe a suspect and then apicture is built up like a jigsaw, using five different sets of features. These are: hair, eyes, nose, mouth and chin. This system can be very useful in finding criminals, but only in one case out of twenty. Quite often, almost half the time, in fact, Photofit pictures are misleading. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the picture may look nothing at all like the suspect. Secondly, the likeness may be so general that it is not at all helpful. And unfortunately, a bad likeness can lead to the arrest of an innocent person.Witnesses’ attitudes can influence their descriptions. In a recent experiment, a group of people was shown a picture of a man and told that he was a mass murderer. When asked to produce Photofit pictures of this man, they made pictures that showed a murderous-looking individual. But at the same time, a second group was shown the same picture and told that the same man wasa lifeboat captain who had received a medal for bravery. When thesecond group produced Photofit pictures, these showed a man who was handsome and well-groomed.The police have another way of identifying criminals. Police records contain tens of thousands of photographs of people convicted of crimes. Witnesses can look through these in the hope of recognizing suspects; however, it has been discovered that a witness begins to forget the culprit’s features after spending a long time looking through these photographs.A computer system called FRAME (Face Retrieval andMatching Equipment) combines the best features of both methods.All the photographs on record are put on the computer file. Whena witness describes a suspect, the computer searches the file forphotographs that fit the description. The witness is then presented with a small number of photographs to look through.Of course, this system, as it exists at present, will only help to identify people whose photographs are already on police files. So now, experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses. One thing they have discovered is that witnesses give better descriptions when they are encouraged to recall the scene of the crime. They do not need to go there; just imagining the scene works just as well.KeyA. 1. Computers can make it easier for the police to find people they want to question.2.

Things flying around in the sky,coming down from another planet and all that? No, Ithink when the scientists say it’s happened and we canexplain how it happened — I mean, when we have somereal proof, then I’ll believe it.B: There could be some truth in it, but I tend to think it’s just a tourist attraction. I can’t explain the photographs. And then there are the photographs of “Bigfoot,” theerm, er, Abominable Snowman* in the mountains of India.Well, that’s the same sort of thing.

Interviewer: Mr. Burton, you say that you have seen a UFO. Is that right? Mr. Burton: Yes, absolutely right. It happened just over a year ago. Interviewer: And where was this?Mr. Burton: Near my home in Aldershot, in the south ofEngland. I live near the big military base inAldershot.Interviewer: What time of day was it?Mr. Burton: It was about one o’clock in the morning. Iwas out fishing. The weather forecast saidit was going to be a warm, clear night with noclouds, and that’s perfect forfishing.Interviewer: And what happened?Mr. Burton: Well, I saw a bright light coming towards meat about three hundred feet, and then itstarted to land. It was behind some trees, butI could see it clearly because there was a fullmoon. Then I saw two forms comingtowards me, and when they were about fivefeet away, they just stopped and looked at mefor a good ten or fifteen seconds.Interviewer: What did they look like?Mr. Burton: They were quite small, about four feet tall,dressed in green suits from head to foot, and theyhad helmets of the same colour with a red visor*, soI couldn’t see their faces. They both carried spaceguns.Interviewer: Did they speak to you?Mr. Burton: Yes. The one on the rig ht said “Come this way, please.”Interviewer: Weren’t you frightened? ... I mean, weren’tyou surprised that they spoke English?Mr. Burton: They spoke in a funny accent. It sounded morelike a machine talking than a person. No, I wasn’tfrightened. I don’t know why. The one who spokestarted to walk towards the light, and I followed him,with the other one behind me. We got to a wall andthe first “form” just walked through it! Icoul dn’t believe it! I had to climb over it, and thenwe got to the spaceship.Interviewer: What did that look like?Mr. Burton: It was about forty-five feet across, and silver, very, very shiny, and there were round windows all round the side.Interviewer: Did you go inside?Mr. Burton: Yes, I did. There were steps going up, and we went into an octagonal* room. I stood there for about ten minutes. The walls, the floor, and theceiling were all bla ck. I couldn’t see any controls orinstruments, but there was a central column going upfrom the floor to the ceiling, about four feet wide,right in the middle of the room.Interviewer: Were there any more of these “forms”?Mr. Burton: No, just the two. Suddenly, one of them said “Stand under the red light.” I couldn’t see anyred light, but then I moved to the right and I couldsee it up on the wall, just under the ceiling. I stoodthere for about five minutes, and then a voice said“What is your age?” I said“Seventy-four.”Then they told me to turn around. After about fivemore minutes one of them said “You can go. Youare too old and ill for our purposes.” So I left andwent back, to the river.Interviewer: Did the spaceship take off?Mr. Burton: Yes, I heard a very high-pitched noise, like a scream, and the thing took off straight into the skyand disappeared. I sat by the river and watched it go.This was about two o’clock.Interviewer: Then what did you do?Mr. Burton: Next morning I went to the police, and in theafternoon someone from the Ministry of Defensecame to my house to interview me. He told me tokeep quiet about the whole thing, and tell absolutelyno one. I thought this was very strange, but I did ashe told me.Interviewer: Why have you decided to tell people about it now?Mr. Burton: Because I want people to know what happenedto me.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each ofthe questions you will hear.One of the strangest and most fascinating things about Scotland is the Loch* Ness Monster. Some people believe in the monster’s existence. Many do not!However, very important bodies of people do believe there is some truth in the famous monster story: experts from Britain’s Royal Air Force*, scientists from the Boston Academy of Applied Science* and computer specialists from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S.A.)*, to mention but a few!Loch Ness is an enormous lake in Northern Scotland. It isabout twenty-four miles long and one mile wide, and has an approximate depth of 1,000 feet, which makes it very difficult for anybody to find and examine the highly elusive* monster. In fact the first convincing reports of people seeing the monster date from only about six years before the beginning of the Second World War.Since then there have been other sightings, and photographs of the monster have been taken! Many of these photographs have later been recognised as fakes — silly jokes played on an unsuspecting public! However, other photographs have amazed the most searching scientific minds. In fact, it seems certain that something (and probably several of them) does exist in the deep waters of Loch Ness. The most amazing photographs show a flipper* — the flipper perhaps of a very large animal (twenty or thirty feet long, it is imagined).From these photos, the British specialist in animal life, Sir Peter Scott, who is also an artist, has constructed this picture of what he believes the monster might look like.But where did the monster come from? Did it mysteriously climb out of a prehistoric world beneath the earth’s crust*? Did it originally swim into the lake from the sea? Before the Ice Age, Loch Ness opened into the sea. Was the young monster’s egg frozen into the ice of the Ice Age? And somehow did the monster come alive again when the ice went away? We just do not know!Can we ever find the answers to all the questions surrounding the legend* of the Loch Ness Monster, do you think? Questions:1. How many people believe in the monster’s existence in the Loch Ness?2. How many important bodies are mentioned who do believethere is some truth in the famous monster story?3. How large is Loch Ness in Northern Scotland?4. When was the first convincing reports of people seeing the monster published?5. What have been discovered later about many photographs?6. Where can we be sure that something does exist?7. How long is the flipper according to the passage?8. What did Sir Peter Scott do?C.

Thengive a brief summary about the news item.A plane that uses only solar power landed on the island ofOahu, Hawaii on Friday after being flown across the Pacific Ocean.The flight was the most dangerous part of the plane’s planned 35,000-kilometer trip around the world. The trip is being made without using any fuel.The name of the plane is Solar Impulse 2. Pilot André Borschberg now holds the record for the longest non-stop solo flight in history.During the trip Mr. Borschberg slept in the cockpit* of the plane for regular periods of 20 minutes. During those periods, the airplane used autopilot*.The plane is made from carbon-fiber* mater ial. The plane’s wingspan is 72 meters. That is longer than the wingspan of a Boeing 747 plane. It has just one seat and weighs about as much as an automobile. The plane’s wings have 17,000 solarcells* that gather energy from the sun and charge the plane’s batteries.The airplane has stopped in many places, including Oman, India, Myanmar and China. The plane will make up to three stops in the United States. It will then cross the Atlantic Ocean, stopping in southern Europe and North Africa. In late July or early August,the plane will land in Adu Dhabi, where the trip began in early March.B.

You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.Mark Twain was thought by many knowledgeable observers to smoke the worst cigars in the world.“They bring their own cigars when they come to my house,” he once remarked.“They betray an unmanly terror when I offer them a cigar; they tell lies and hurry away to meet engagements which they have not made when they are threatened with the hospitalities* of my box.” Twain, felt unhappy,conducted an experiment.He invited twelve personal friends to supper one night. One of them was as notorious* for costly and elegant cigars as Mark Twain was for cheap and devilish ones.Before that day Mark Twain called at his house and when no one was looking borrowed a handful of his cigars which cost him forty cents apiece and bore red-and-gold labels in sign of their nobility.Then Mark Twain removed the labels and put the cigars into a box with his favorite brand on it.They took these cigars when offered at the end of the supper, and lit them and struggled with them — in dreary* silence. Then they made excuses and filed out, treading* on one another’s heels with indecent eagerness; and in the morning when Mark Twain went out to observe results the cigars lay all between the front door and the gate.All except one —that one lay in the plate of the man who could stand only one or two whiffs*. He told Mark Twain afterward that someday Twain would get shot for giving people that kind of cigar to smoke.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Passage“MegaSkills” for ChildrenScriptA. Listen to the passage and complete the outline.MegaSkills is a program used in schools across the United States. This program trains adults to help children develop the skills needed for what educators call lifelong learning. MegaSkills is based on the idea that parents and teachers can help children gain skillsthrough normal, daily activities.Dorothy Rich created the program. She heads a nonprofit organization in Washington, DC, called the Home and School Institute.Dorothy Rich identified eleven major skills that children need to succeed in life. She based them on information she gathered from educators and employers. She describes them as “inner engines of learning” for school and work.These MegaSkills include feeling able to do what is needed, and wanting to do it. Being willing to work hard and doing what is right are other MegaSkills. So are completing what you start, showing concern for others, and using good judgment. Dorothy Rich says children also need to learn how to solve problems, and how to work with a goal in mind.MegaSkills Education Online offers suggestions for activities to build these skills. For example, there are ideas about how parents can help children get organized in school. Parents can begin by helping a child plan a school project, like a science project.A parent can suggest that the child think about all the supplies needed for the project. What special supplies might the child need? The child can write down each step required for the project, then number the steps to help follow them.Other ideas offer ways to help younger children plan their time. MegaSkills Education Online suggests that parents and children list activities for a day when there is no school. For example, the family might p lan to wake up at eight o’clock and eat breakfast by nine.As the day progresses, children can write down the time they start each activity on the list. At the end of the day, the family can see how close they came to following their plan.MegaSkills says this exercise is one way to reduce the time。

Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 Dialogue How to Be a Good InterviewerExercise: Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1. A2. D3. C4. D5. A6.B7. D8. A9. D 10. A 11. CScript of the dialogue:prerequisitesomething that is required in advance 先决条件, 前提tombstonea stone that is used to mark a grave 墓碑aidesomeone who acts as assistant 助手aforesaidbeing the one previously mentioned or spoken of; 上述的, 前述的spin 有倾向性地述；（尤指）以有利于自己的口吻描述Interviewer: With all your experience of interviewing, Michael, how can you tell if somebody is going to make a good interviewer?Parkinson: Oh, I say, what a question! I 've never been asked that before. Urn, I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity. I think that 's the, er, a natural one, not anassumed one. I think the people who have, um, done my job —and the graveyard of the BBCis littered with them, their tombstones are there, you know—who failed to have been because basically they 've not been journalists. Um, my training was in journalism. I 've been 26 years a journalist and er, to be a journalist argues that you like meeting people to start with, and also you want to find out about them. So that ' s the prerequisite. After that, I think there 's something else that comes into it, into play, and I think, again, most successful journalists have it —it 's a curious kind of affinity withpeople, it 's an ability to get on with people, it 's a kindof body warmth, if you like. If you knew the secret of it and could bottle it and sell it, you 'd make a fortune.Interviewer: When you 've done an interview yourself, how do you feel whether it 's been a good interview or not a good interview?Parkinson: I can never really tell, er, on air. I have towatch it back, because television depends so much on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction. You can't; it 's amazing. Sometimes I think “Oh, that ' s a boring interview ” and just because of the way my direc tor shot it,and shot reaction, he's composeda picture that 's madeit far more interesting than it actually was.Interviewer: How do you bring out the best in people, because you always seem to manageto, not only relax them, but somehow get right into the depths of them.Parkinson: By research, by knowing, when you go into a television studio, more about the guest in front you than they 've forgotten about themselves. And, I mean that 's pure research. I mean, you probably use …in a 20-minute in terview, I probably use a 20th of the research material that I 've absorbed, but that 's what you 're gonna have to do. I mean I once interviewed Robert Mitchum for 75 minutes and the longest reply I got from him was “yes”. And that … that 's the onlytime I 've used every ounce of research and every question that I 'd ever thought of, and a few that I hadn 't thought of as well. But that really is the answer—it 's research. When people say it to you, you know, “Oh you go out and wing it,I meanthat 's nonsense. If anybody ever tries to tell you that as an interviewer just starting, that you wing it, there 's no such thing. It 's allpreparation; it 's knowing exactly whatyou're going to do at any given point and knowing what you want from the person.Interviewer: And does that include sticking to writtenquestions or do you deviate?Parkinson: No, I meanwhat you do is you have an aide memoir.I have, my •…my list of questions aren ' t questions as such, they ' re areas that I block out, and indeed, I can' t remember, I can' t recall, apart from the aforesaid Mr. Mitchum experience, whenI ' ve ever stuck to that at all. Because, quite often you ' ll find that they spin off into areas that you ' ve not really thought about and perhaps it ' s worth pursuing sometimes. The job is very much like, actually, traffic cop;you' re like you' re on point duty and you' re …you know, you' re directing the flow of traffic when you ' re directingthe flow of conversation. That' s basically what you' re doing, when you' re doing a talk -show, in my view.Interviewer: Have you got a last word of encouragement forany young people setting out on what they ' d like to be a career as aninterviewer?Parkinson: I, I, envy them, I mean, I really do. I meanI ' d go back and do it all again. I think it ' s the most perfect job for any young person who' s got talent and ambition and energy. And the nice thing about it is that the proportion of talent is only five percent; the other 95 percent is energy and no examinations to pass. I ' d love to do it over again.Part 2 Passage Emily DavisonEx. A.

D: After-listening Discussion1. Whydid Emily jump down an iron staircase and run out on the course at the derby?Because Emily was convinced that women would not win the vote until the suffragette movementhad a martyr. She therefore committed those acts in order to give the movement more publicity.2. What do you think about Emily Davison?Open.Script of Passage:So greatly did she care for freedom that she died for it. So dearly did she love women that she offered her life as their ransom. That is the verdict given at the Great Inquest of the Nation on the death of Emily Wilding Davison.Emily Davison was born at Blackheath in 1872. Successful at school she won a place at Holloway College to study literature. But two years latershe was forced to leave after her recently widowed mother was unable to find the 20-a-term fees. Emily found work as a schoolteacher in Worthing. Eventually she raised enough money to return to university education. After graduating from London University she obtained a post teaching the children of a family in Berkshire.Emily joined the Wome'n s Social and Political Union (WSPU)in 1906 and in June 1908 she was one of the chief stewards at a WSPUdemonstration in London. The following year Emily gave up full-time teaching so that she could devote more of her time to the WSPU.In March1909, Emily was arrested while attempting to hand a petition to the Prime Minister. Emily was found guilty of causing a disturbance and sentenced to one-month imprisonment. In September 1909 she received a sentence of two months for stone throwing. She was released after going on hunger strike.A few days after leaving prison, Emily Davison, Mary Leigh and Constance Lytton were caught throwing stones at a car takingDavid Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to a meeting in Newcastle. The womenwere sentenced to one month's hard labor. The women went on hunger strike but this time the prison authorities decided to force-feed the women. In an attempt to avoid force-feeding, Emily used prison furniture to barricade the door of her prison cell. A prison officer climbed a ladder and after forcing the nozzle of a hosepipe through awindow, filled up the cell with water. Emily was willing to die, but before the cell had been completely filled with water the door was broken down. The scale of her militant acts increased and in December1911 she was arrested for setting fire to pillar boxes. She was sentenced to six months and during her spell in prison she went on two hunger strikes. Emily Davison was now convinced that womenwould not win the vote until the suffragette movementhad a martyr. Emily took the decision to draw attention to the suffragette campaign by jumping down an iron staircase. Emily landed on wire netting, 30 feet below. This prevented her death but she suffered severe spinal injuries.Once she had recovered her health, Emily Davison began making plans to commit an act that would give the momentmaximum publicity. In June 1913, at the most important race of the year —the Derby, Emily ran out on the course and attempted to grab the bridle of Anmer, a horse owned by King George V. The horse hit Emily and the impact fractured her skull and she died without regaining consciousness.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex.

The suspects were among a group of 18 Muslims charged with terrorism-related offen ces.This is the first official indication as to what the target of this alleged plot might have been. The Lucas Hieghts nuclear facility is on the outskirts of Sydney and is Australia's only reactor. In documents released today the police have said that three of the suspects were stopped and questioned near the plant last December. It's claimed that the defendantshave been trying to stockpile large quantities of chemicals. It is also alleged they attended military style training camps in the Australia outback. Lawyers for the accused have insisted that the case against them was weak and politically motivated.Section FourPart 1 Feature reportScript ：Susie Salmon seems like a typical teenager on the brink of a life filled with so many experiences like the blush of first love.But fate has a different plan for her. On the way home from school she takes a short cut through a barley field where she is startled by a neighbor, Mr. Harvey.It will be her last encounter on this Earth. Caught in some in-between place, Susie's spirit watches as her family copes with their loss and her murderer goes on with his life. The title comes from one of her thoughts during this time: "These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes madeat great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone."Saoirse Ronan stars as Susie Salmon. The Irish actress, now 16 years old, first gained international acclaim for her performance in the 2007 drama Atonement."I have never felt so much responsibility with a character asI have with TheLovely Bones," Ronan says.She explains that not only is her character seen or heard in just about every scene of the film, but also there was the original novel's worldwide legion of fans to consider."More than anything else I was just worried that I wasn't portraying her to her full potential," explains Ronan. "I think it's important for everyone that Susie is the way she shouldbe. Of course, people are going to have different ideas of what she should be like &hellip the readers, really. It was something that was always on my mind."American actor Stanley Tucci co-stars as the murderer: a mundane character almost invisible to his neighbors."The more real he is and the more subtle he is then the more terrifying heis," says Tucci. "The more banal he is, the more terrifying he is. There is no doubt and I'll say without question that it was the most difficult thingI've ever done as an actor."Peter Jackson directs and is also the co-writer of the film script, which he admits is no substitute for the vastly more detailed novel by Alice Seybold."To me, to adapt a book is not a question of producing a carbon copy of the book," he notes. "It is a personal impression that Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and myself - the three of us wrote the screenplay. We read the book; we responded to aspects of the book, especially emotional themes and things it had to say about the afterlife &hellip that aspect of it, which is very personal to anybody. That's what we responded to. So to me, no adaptation can ever be perfect. It is impossible. Youdon't make a movie for the fans of the book. You just can not do that."The Lovely Bones also features Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as Susie's bereaved parents. Rose McIver is her younger sister, who uncovers the truth about Susie's fate; and Susan Sarandon plays their flamboyant grandmother. The film's Earthly locations were shot in the US state of Pennsylvania; director Jackson used his native NewZealand for the ethereal scenes of the world beyond.Part 2 PassageExercise B Dictation1.

Onereason St.Patrick's Daymight have become so popular is that it takes place justa few days before the first day of spring. One might say it has becomethe first green of spring. Open.Script:The person who was to becomeSt. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales about AD 385. His given name was Maewyn, and he almost didn't get the job of bishop of Ireland because he lacked the required scholarship.Far from being a saint, until he was 16, he considered himself a pagan. At that age, he was sold into slavery by a group of Irish marauders that raided his village. During his captivity he became a Christian and adopted the name Patrick.He escaped from slavery after six years and went to Gaul where he studied in the monastery under St. Germain, bishop of Auxerre for a period of twelve years. During his training he got the notion that his calling was to convert the pagans to Christianity.His wishes were to return to Ireland, to convert the native pagans to Christianity. But his superiors instead appointed St. Palladius. But two years later, Palladius transferred to Scotland. Patrick was then appointed as second bishop to Ireland.Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. And this fact rightfully upset the Celtic Druids, who had their own native religion. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which would aid him in his indoctrination of the Irish country into Christianity.His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrick retired to County Down. He died on March 17 in AD461. That day has been commemoratedas St. Patrick's Day ever since.Much Irish folklore surrounds St. Patrick's Day. Not much of it is actually substantiated. Someof this lore includes the belief that Patrick raised people from the dead. He also is said to have given a sermon from a hilltop that drove all the snakes from Ireland. Of course, no snakes were ever native to Ireland, and some people think this is a metaphor for the conversion of the pagans. Though originally a Catholic holy day, St. Patrick's Day has evolved into more of a secular holiday.One traditional icon of the day is the shamrock. And this stems from a more bona fide Irish tale that tells how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.The St. Patrick's Day custom cameto America in 1737. That was the first year St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country, in Boston.Today, people celebrate the day with parades, wearing of the green, and drinking beer. Onereason St. Patrick's Day might have become so popular is that it takes place just a few days before the first day of spring.One might say it has becomethe first green of spring.。

It’s all preparation; it’s knowing exactly what you’re going to do at any given point and knowing what you want from the person.Interviewer: And does that include sticking to written questions or do you deviate?Parkinson: No, I mean what you do is you have an aide memoir. I have, my…my list of questions aren’t questions as such, they’re areas that I block out, and indeed, I can’t remember, I can’t recall, apart from t he aforesaid Mr. Mitchum experience, when I’ve ever stuck to that at all. Because, quite often you’ll find that they spin off into areas that you’ve not really thought about and perhaps it’s worth pursuing sometimes. The job is very much like, actually, tr affic cop; you’re like you’re on point duty and you’re…you know, you’re directing the flow of traffic when you’re directing the flow of conversation. That’s basically what you’re doing, when you’re doing a talk-show, in my view.Interviewer: Have you got a last word of encouragement for any young people setting out on what they’d like to be a career as an interviewer?Parkinson: I, I, envy them, I mean, I really do. I mean I’d go back and do it all again. I think it’s the most perfect job for any young pers on who’s got talent and ambition and energy. And the nice thing about it is that the proportion of talent is only five percent; the other 95 percent is energy and no examinations to pass. I’d love to do it over again.Part 2 Passage Emily DavisonEx. A.

D: After-listening Discussion1. Why did Emily jump down an iron staircase and run out on the course at the derby?Because Emily was convinced that women would not win the vote until the suffragette movement had a martyr. She therefore committed those acts in order to give the movement more publicity.2. What do you think about Emily Davison?Open.Script of Passage:So greatly did she care for freedom that she died for it. So dearly did she love women that she offered her life as their ransom. That is the verdict given at the Great Inquest of the Nation on the death of Emily Wilding Davison.Emily Davison was born at Blackheath in 1872. Successful at school she won a place at Holloway College to study literature. But two years later she was forced to leave after her recently widowed mother was unable to find the 20-a-term fees. Emily found work as a schoolteacher in Worthing. Eventually she raised enough money to return to university education. After graduating from London University she obtained a post teaching the children of a family in Berkshire.Emily joined the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1906 and in June 1908 she was one of the chief stewards at a WSPU demonstration in London. The following year Emily gave up full-time teaching so that she could devote more of her time to the WSPU.In March1909, Emily was arrested while attempting to hand a petition to the Prime Minister. Emily was found guilty of causing a disturbance and sentenced to one-month imprisonment. In September 1909 she received a sentence of two months for stone throwing. She was released after going on hunger strike. A few days after leaving prison, Emily Davison, Mary Leigh and Constance Lytton were caught throwing stones at a car taking David Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to a meeting in Newcastle. The women were sentenced to one month’s hard labor. The women went on hunger strike but this time the prison authorities decided to force-feed the women. In an attempt to avoid force-feeding, Emily used prison furniture to barricade the door of her prison cell. Aprison officer climbed a ladder and after forcing the nozzle of a hosepipe through a window, filled up the cell with water. Emily was willing to die, but before the cell had been completely filled with water the door was broken down.The scale of her militant acts increased and in December 1911 she was arrested for setting fire to pillar boxes. She was sentenced to six months and during her spell in prison she went on two hunger strikes. Emily Davison was now convinced that women would not win the vote until the suffragette movement had a martyr. Emily took the decision to draw attention to the suffragette campaign by jumping down an iron staircase. Emily landed on wire netting, 30 feet below. This prevented her death but she suffered severe spinal injuries.Once she had recovered her health, Emily Davison began making plans to commit an act that would give the moment maximum publicity. In June 1913, at the most important race of the year—the Derby, Emily ran out on the course and attempted to grab the bridle of Anmer, a horse owned by King George V. The horse hit Emily and the impact fractured her skull and she died without regaining consciousness.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex.

On the way home from school she takes a short cut through a barley field where she is startled by a neighbor, Mr. Harvey.It will be her last encounter on this Earth. Caught in some in-between place, Susie's spirit watches as her family copes with their loss and her murderer goes on with his life. The title comes from one of her thoughts during this time: "These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone."Saoirse Ronan stars as Susie Salmon. The Irish actress, now 16 years old,first gained international acclaim for her performance in the 2007 drama Atonement."I have never felt so much responsibility with a character as I have with TheLovely Bones," Ronan says.She explains that not only is her character seen or heard in just about every scene of the film, but also there was the original novel's worldwide legion of fans to consider."More than anything else I was just worried that I wasn't portraying her to her full potential," explains Ronan. "I think it's important for everyone that Susie is the way she should be. Of course, people are going to have different ideas of what she should be like &hellip the readers, really. It was something that was always on my mind."American actor Stanley Tucci co-stars as the murderer: a mundane character almost invisible to his neighbors."The more real he is and the more subtle he is then the more terrifying he is," says Tucci. "The more banal he is, the more terrifying he is. There is no doubt and I'll say without question that it was the most difficultthing I've ever done as an actor."Peter Jackson directs and is also the co-writer of the film script, which he admits is no substitute for the vastly more detailed novel by Alice Seybold."To me, to adapt a book is not a question of producing a carbon copy of the book," he notes. "It is a personal impression that Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and myself - the three of us wrote the screenplay. We read the book; we responded to aspects of the book, especially emotional themes and things it had to say about the afterlife &hellip that aspect of it, which is very personal to anybody. That's what we responded to. So to me, no adaptation can ever be perfect. It is impossible. You don't make a movie for the fans of the book. You just can not do that."The Lovely Bones also features Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as Susie's bereaved parents. Rose McIver is her younger sister, who uncovers the truth about Susie's fate; and Susan Sarandon plays their flamboyant grandmother. The film's Earthly locations were shot in the US state of Pennsylvania; director Jackson used his native New Zealand for the ethereal scenes of the world beyond.Part 2 PassageExercise BDictation1.

One reason St.Patrick's Day might have become so popular is that it takes place justa few days before the first day of spring. One might say it has becomethe first green of spring. Open.Script:The person who was to become St. Patrick, the patron saint ofIreland, was born in Wales about AD 385. His given name was Maewyn, and he almost didn't get the job of bishop of Ireland because he lacked the required scholarship.Far from being a saint, until he was 16, he considered himself a pagan. At that age, he was sold into slavery by a group of Irish marauders that raided his village. During his captivity he became a Christian and adopted the name Patrick.He escaped from slavery after six years and went to Gaul where he studied in the monastery under St. Germain, bishop of Auxerre for a period of twelve years. During his training he got the notion that his calling was to convert the pagans to Christianity.His wishes were to return to Ireland, to convert the native pagans to Christianity. But his superiors instead appointed St. Palladius. But two years later, Palladius transferred to Scotland. Patrick was then appointed as second bishop to Ireland.Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. And this fact rightfully upset the Celtic Druids, who had their own native religion. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which would aid him in his indoctrination of the Irish country into Christianity.His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrickretired to County Down. He died on March 17 in AD 461. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day ever since.Much Irish folklore surrounds St. Patrick's Day. Not much of it is actually substantiated. Some of this lore includes the belief that Patrick raised people from the dead. He also is said to have given a sermon from a hilltop that drove all the snakes from Ireland. Of course, no snakes were ever native to Ireland, and some people think this is a metaphor for the conversion of the pagans. Though originally a Catholic holy day, St. Patrick's Day has evolved into more of a secular holiday.One traditional icon of the day is the shamrock. And this stems from a more bona fide Irish tale that tells how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.The St. Patrick's Day custom came to America in 1737. That was the first year St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country, in Boston.Today, people celebrate the day with parades, wearing of the green, and drinking beer. One reason St. Patrick's Day might have become so popular is that it takes place just a few days before the first day of spring. One might say it has become the first green of spring.。

Why?Open.Script of Passage:Stock Market: How It WorksOn Monday, October 19,1987, a wave of selling triggered widespread price declines in stock markets from New York to Australia. ON that day, now infamous as “Black Monday〞, over 600 million shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange---more than twice the NYSE’s average sales volume. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of theprices of 30 stocks of major US companies lost 22.6 percent of its value on that memorable day, plunging 508 points in the panicked rush to sell.What is the stock market, and how is it affected by the forces of supply and demand? The stock market is the means through which previously issued corporate stocks, shares of ownership in a corporation, are traded. Stock exchanges are organizations whose members act as intermediaries to buy and sell stocks for their clients. About 80 percent of all stock trading in the United States takes place at the New York Stock Exchange. There are other stock exchanges in the United States as well as in Paris, London, Sydney and Tokyo.How are stock prices determined? The answer, as you might expect, is by supply and demand. However, the forces influencing the prices of corporate stocks are quite different from those influencing the prices of goods and services. People and organizations who buy and hold stock do so for the incomes they hope to earn. The incomes depend on dividends paid to stockholders, changes in the incomes they hope to earn. The incomes depend on dividends paid to stockholders, changes in the price of stock over time, and the expected return compared to the return on alternative investments.On any given day in the stock market, there are orders to buy and orders to sell. The orders to buy constitute the quantity of a stock demanded at the current (or anticipated) price per share, while theorders to sell constitute the quantity supplied at that price. The chief influence on both the supply of and demand for stocks is the income potential of holding the stock compared to the income potential of holding alternative assets such as bonds, other types of securities, or real property like buildings and land.On the New York Stock Exchange, trading in all stocks is continuous.A specialist is assigned to oversee trading in each stock. This specialist is a “broker’s broker〞who tries to adjust the price of the stock so that quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. However, the specialist is also allowed to purchase the stock to hold as a personal investment if no buyer can be found. In this way the specialist can exert some influence on the supply of and demand for stocks, and will do so if it’s profitable.On October 19, 1987, there were hardly any buy orders, and the markets were flooded with sell orders. Because of the tremendous surplus of stocks at the prevailing prices, specialists and call clerks lowered prices until quantity demanded equaled quantity supplied. When Black Monday finally reeled to a close, many a portfolio had lost over a fifth of the value it had the day before.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex.

B: Listen again and fill in the blanks.Scientists have produced evidence showing dramatically that the current temperature rise there is highly unusual. For most of the last two thousand years, the Arctic slowly cooled, a consequence of variations i n the Earth’s orbit.But over the last century, the cooling abruptly reversed, and the region is now warmer than at any time in the 2,000 year record. Writing in the journal Science, the researchers say this shows how quickly the Arctic responds to climatic changes.News Item 2Ex. A: Listen to the news and complete the summaryThis item is about WWF's accusation against European toilet and tissue paper manufacturers of contributing to global deforestation by not using enough recycled material.Ex. B: Listen to the news again and answer the questions.1. How many trees are being discarded as tissue paper each day?More than a quarter of a million trees.2. What did the report find?The report found alarmingly low levels of recycled fibers in the vastmajority of products by European toilet and tissue paper manufacturers.3. Where are the fibers used by European toilet and tissue paper companies taken from?The fibers are taken from natural forests in South Africa, Asia, Europe and across the Americas.4. What have most of the toilet and tissue paper manufacturers failed to do?Most of the companies have failed to take effective measures to prevent illegal or controversial timber from being used in their products.Script of News Item Two:The international conservation group, WWF, has accused European toilet and tissue paper manufacturers of contributing to global deforestation by not using enough recycled material. A spokesman said more than a quarter of a million trees were in fact being flushed down toilets or discarded as rubbish each day.The report found alarmingly low levels of recycled fibers in the vast majority of products and said the fibers were instead being taken from natural forests in South Africa, Asia, Europe and across the Americas. Using virgin forest to make toilet paper, says the report, is wasteful andunnecessary. The report also warns that illegal and unsustainable logging and conflicts over land rights still exist in many of these areas and that all but one of the companies have so far failed to take effective measures to prevent illegal or controversial timber from being used in their products. News Item 3Ex. A: Listen and summarize the news itemThis news item is about the warnings from specialists that climate change can drive some species of migrating animals towards extinction.Ex. B Listen to the news and complete the following outline Findings: Climate change can drive some species of migrating animals towards extinction.Reason: Birds, mammals and reptiles are finding it increasingly difficult to follow their usual migrating patterns.Examples:1. The spreading SaharaDesertcould make it impossible for swallows to make the epic journey from Southern Africa.2. Rising sea levels will destroy many coastal habitats for turtles and wading birds.3. Warmer oceans could lead to some turtle species becoming entirely female.Script of News Item 3Scientists are warning that climate change could drive some species of migrating animals towards extinction. A report by European ornithologists and zoologists say that birds, mammals and reptiles are finding it increasingly difficult to follow their usual migration patterns.This report by ornithologists and zoologists warns that global warming will cause increasing problems for many migrating species. For example, the spreading SaharaDesert could make it impossible for swallows to make their epic journey from Southern Africa, and rising sea levels will destroy many coastal habitats for turtles and wading birds. The study even suggests that warmer oceans could lead to some turtle species becoming entirely female. The selection of sex is closely linked to sea temperature.Section FourPart 1 Feature reportScript：Money,Fame,Power Don't Motivate Most Workers In his new book, titled Drive, author Daniel Pink says there's a big gap between what science knows and what business leaders know about how to motivate a workforce.Pink says most businesses operate today on the carrot-and-stick system of rewards and punishments. Employees are rewarded for goodperformance, and penalized for performing badly.According to Pink, the carrot-and-stick approach usually works well in situations where workers are performing simple, routine tasks, like checking products on an assembly line or packing boxes. But for jobs that require creativity, and deeper, more complex thinking, such as writing or designing, employers need to take a different approachPink says it is important to recognize people are not as motivated by external factors like cash rewards as they areby things that interest them. He calls these intrinsic or internal motivators. “Intrinsic motivatoris doing something for the sake of the activity itself. So you play the banjo because you like to play the banjo. Extrinsic motivatoris doing something in order to get a reward. So I might work really hard because whoever with the most sales will get a $100 gift card.〞According to Pink, intrinsic motivators can be broken down into three components: The first is autonomy, that is, self-direction. Another one is mastery, that is, our desire to become better at something that matters,and finally, purpose, which is to do what we do in service of something larger than ourselves."Those are really the pathway to high performance on a whole range of things," says Pink, "especially on the more creative, conceptual, complex things that more and more people in this country, in the United States, in Western Europe, in Canada, in Australia, in Japan in much ofthe industrialized world are doing."Pink goes on to explain the importance of autonomy in situations where people are in restricted environments:"The history of humans of all kinds of societies -- western, eastern, modern, ancient -- is that human beings typically resist control."Pink believes the greatest things that have happened in human civilization have been the result of people being able to do what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do it:"Most great pieces of art, most great pieces of music, many great architectural triumphs, many great technological innovations, the things that last and endure, are often the product, obviously, of human ingenuity, but also the product of the autonomy that allowed people to be ingenious," he says.Another element of intrinsic motivation, says Pink, is the mastery."What the greatest motivator we have is the desire to get better at stuff. There is a Harvard business school research that the biggest motivator at work - by far - is making progress. That are the days that people feel most engaged, most motivated, are the days when they've made some progress in their work."Pink says that’s why it is so important managers recognize and validate progress in their employee’s work.“In my view, the manager's great roles is to help people see theirprogress, and to recognize progress and celebrate progress. Making progress is one of those things that [make up] the virtuous circle, so that if you make progress one day, you're more likely to be motivated, which makes it more likely that you'll make progress the next day."And beyond progress, says Pink, there's a third element of intrinsic motivation, the universal human desire for a sense of purpose."We tend to work better when we know what we're doing matters in some way," he says. "Not necessarily matters in some super transcendent eliminate-green-house-gases from the atmosphere way, but can be simply writing a great story that helps people understand their world a little bit better; or creating a product that makes people live their lives a little easier, or creating something that brings beauty to somebody's life."Daniel Pink believes that as we learn more about the science of human motivation, society will adapt.Author Daniel Pink says today's business managers, facing the increasingly competitive pressures of a global marketplace, may be more inclined than ever before to question traditional attitudes about what motivates, and ultimately fulfills us, as humans.Part 2 PassageExercise BDictation1.
