Unit 9 Which Way Will It Go?IntroductionTEACHER: The topic for today’s class is land as a resource. Land, water, trees, oil . . . these are all resources, and as future environmental scientists, you need to understand how to manage these resources. As the world population increases, managing land resources will become a greater priority. Land is a limited resource. Today I’m going to divide the lecture into two parts. First we’ll look at some of the factors contributing to pressures on the land we have, and then I want to turn to some of the ways people worldwide are trying to address land problems and meet the needs of future generations. Think of it as first the bad news, then the good news.Body: Part 1Let me start by saying there is less good productive land now than there was even ten years ago. By productive land I mean land that is fertile, that we can use to grow food and raise animals. Each year more and more land becomes degraded. We are losing productive land. Worldwide, new dry areas are developing and expanding. This is happening on every continent except Antarctica. I don’t mean existing deserts like the Sahara are getting bigger. I’m talking about new dry areas, areas where land has been declining in quality. You can see these areas in the map in your book. Why are these areas forming and expanding? What do you think? Theresa?STUDENT l: It’s the climate, isn’t it? The earth is getting, you know, hotter because of global warming. So water gets evaporated and the land dries out.TEACHER: OK. Marcel, do you agree?STUDENT 2: Well, yeah. It has to be the weather. What else could it be?Body: Part 2TEACHER: Well, different reasons have been given. Some people contribute it to global warming or to climate changes. They say nature simply produces dry regions, like the Sahara Desert, as well as wet regions, like the Amazon Rain Forest . . . . Well, let’s think about this. Is it only the weather? Let’s see if there are other factors contributing to this trend. Is nature, or the weather, really the problem? According to a large group of scientists, the weather isn’t the main factor. Instead, they say, people are the main factor. When they say people are the main problem, they mean people’s actions－how people use and manage land. Poor land management, overpopulation, poor farming techniques, too many animals, and so on, can all affect the land. Look at the chart in your book. As you can see, researchers have identified several ways human activities contribute to the problem. The first is overgrazing by farm animals. They say about 35 percent of the loss of productive land is due to overgrazing by farm animals. The second is overcutting of trees, which leads to about 30 percent of the loss. And lastly, 28 percent of the loss of good land is from methods of farming. Overgrazing, overcutting, and farming methods. Let’s look at these one at a time.The first is overgrazing. Good topsoil is lost or damaged because of overgrazing by farm animals. Overgrazing means the animals eat too many of the plants. There are several bad results of overgrazing. First, there aren’t enough plants left to hold the soil in place. Then, the topsoil is eroded by wind and rain; they carry it away. Second, as the animals walk around, the soil is compacted, and gets very hard. If the soil is too hard, rainwater isn’t absorbed into the soil, and this causes the soil to stay dry and warm. As the soil gets drier, even fewer plants can grow. This, in turn, causes the animals to walk around more and more, in order to find enough food to eat. And, this causes the ground to get packed down even more, and get even drier, and so on. So, you can see that overgrazing can create this cycle.Body: Part 4Second, overcutting of trees also contributes to the loss of good land. The main problem is too many trees are cut and not replanted. For years we’ve heard about how this is happening on a large scale in the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil. Trees, like land, are a resource we depend on. They’re vital to the whole environmental balance on earth. If trees are cut down and not replanted, there is nothing to hold the good soil. Wind and water carry the good soil away and it erodes quickly, leaving land that is dry and less productive. So, overcutting is another reason why land quality is declining.Body: Part 5Third, farming methods are another big factor. In some places, traditional methods that have been used for hundreds of years no longer work well. Why do they no longer work well? Partly because the population is increasing, and farmers aren’t equipped to meet these new demands, and partly because the soil is getting worn out. More people need to be fed from less land. As a result, some farmers may use too much fertilizer on the limited land they have, or not let the land rest from year to year, causing it to become less fertile. Irrigation is a huge factor many of us don’t think about. Irrigation water often has salt in it, and when the salt builds up in the soil, the soil can no longer be used for farming. Currently, about one third of the irrigated land in the world has too much salt in it. Irrigation has taken a heavy toll on good land.Body: Part 6So, basically, how people use the land seems to be a bigger factor in the decrease of productive land than weather. Of course, weather extremes, like no rain or too much rain, can add to the problem. However, the weather is not the main reason for the problem. Some of the extremes in the weather caused by global warming can make the situation worse for people who live in these dry areas. But the weather alone is not the main issue. The decline of productive land is a worldwide problem. Currently, about one third of the world’s land area is considered unproductive because it is too dry and damaged.OK, so that’s the bad news. Now let’s turn to the good news. What are countries doing to help preserve land as a resource? As experts learn more about this worldwide problem, they have tried to find ways to address it. Right now there are several organizations, the United Nations for one, that are working to help people. They try to help countries or communities look at their specific problems and figure out what possible changes they can make to protect their land. They talk to people about their farming methods, their animals, and how they use trees and their resources. Then they suggest changes that might alleviate some of their problems. Farmers might try to grow genetically engineered crops that don’t hurt the soil as much, or plant new trees, or raise fewer animals, or build new irrigation systems that leave less salt in the soil. They look for local solutions that will work best for that country. This includes looking at what has been done traditionally and implementing modern farming methods in ways that respect the local culture.ConclusionSo, let’s review what we covered today. I mentioned that about one third of the available land worldwide has become dry and less productive. The main reason for land degradation is people’s actions, including overgrazing by animals, overcutting of trees, and farming methods. As scientists learn more, we need to work to help countries make specific changes and for farmers to become better equipped so that they can preserve the good land that is left.Let me just add that if we look at the estimates of what the world population will be fifty years from now－about 9 billion people－it helps us see that protecting the good land that’s left needs to be a high priority.I’ll stop there. We’ll continue with this next class. That’s all for this afternoon.。

(D)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESPassage 1According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours and take shorter vacations than employees did in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. A management adviser, Bill Meyer, decided to find out the answer to the question. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday; the banker worked 80 hours a week. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him, and discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing busy work.Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. However, the connection between time and productivity is not always positive. In fact, many studies show that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Furthermore, it's not always easy for individuals to realize that their performance is decreasing.Part of the problem is understandable. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this.Consequently, they work longer hours and take less vacation time than they did nine years ago. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week. They feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What happens to employees in many U.S. companies today?2. What did Bill Meyer do with an investment banker?3. What is the relationship between time and productivity?4. How much time did the banker spend doing busy work?5. How do employers evaluate employees?Key: 1. (C) 2. (A) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (C)Passage 2One observation made by many visitors to the United States is that Americans frequently prefer to answer with a brief "Yes", "No", "Sure", or the very popular "Yeah" rather than with a longer reply. But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or offensive. Very often, Americans are rushed and may greet you with a hurried "Hi”. Indeed, this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of status, age or employment. However, those used to longer, beautifully formed statements may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American "plain talk".Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are embarrassed. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become embarrassed and not know what to say in reply. They do not intend to be impolite or offensive; you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans do not usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but easy-going or relaxed people.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. What does the fact that Americans do not waste words tell us?7. Which of the following is true of those who like using beautiful or quality language?8. Winch of the following is NOT true?9. How will the Americans feel if they are praised in a polite way?10. What did you learn about the American custom of giving gifts?Key: 6. (D) 7. (A) 8. (C) 9. (D) 10. (B)Passage 3Those long lines at United States airports are not just on the runways. As the number of airline passengers increases to 614 million last year, up from 488 million in 1993 – and airports remain the same size, waiting in line has become a frustrating experience. The airlines, heating ~owing complaints and eager to cut costs, have begun adopting new techniques to speed people on their way.Continental Airlines and Alaska Airlines use a program with computer screens where passengers, using credit cards for identification, can check themselves in, answer security questions about who packed their bags and whether it has been under their control at all times, and obtain boarding passes.Alaska also has ticketing officers who walk about in airports carrying computers that can print out boarding passes.Airlines are also improving their computer networks, which will reduce the time it takes to issue tickets and boarding passes. TWA recently installed touch-screen computers, like those at ATM machines, that allow officers to issue boarding passes faster.Penny Thomas, United Airline's manager of in-airport service planning, said: "The most basic rule to reduce time in line is to arrive at the airport in travel-ready condition. That means you do not need to see anyone, to buy a ticket or to change a seat assignment. It means your only requirement is to get a boarding pass."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What causes the long lines at U.S. airports?12. What was the number of U.S. airline passengers in 1993713. Which new technique have Continental Airlines and Alaska Airlines adopted?14. What's the purpose of improving the U.S. airlines' computer networks?15. According to Penny Thomas. what is the most basic rule to reduce time in line?Key: .(A) 12.(C) 13.(A) 14.(A) 15.(A)Passage 4Although the relaxed American style is well known, many new visitors think that it shows a "lack of respect'. This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just smile and say "Hi" or "Hello", rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such a relaxed greeting really means the same thing as a more official handshake somewhere else.In a similar way, Americans do not usually give a special "good-bye' or shake hands to each person when they leave a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, "Well, so long everybody, I'll see you tomorrow." They then will leave. No handshakes.Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally relaxed and at ease. Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even putting their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be offensive. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and relaxed.A visitor to the United States should, therefore, understand that being in a great hurry does not show unfriendliness, and being relaxed and being at ease does not show a lack of respect. Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at lust may seem strange to a visitor. In time you will learn these new ways.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do many visitors think about the relaxed American style?17. Why do Americans often use first- names upon meeting a stranger?18. To whom do Americans use "Hi" and "Hello" in greeting?19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?20. What is the subject of this passage?Key: 16. (B) 17. (A) 18. (B) 19. (A) 20. (B)Unit Two Environment ProtectionUnderstanding StatementsListening Task 11.

(B)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESPassage 1Green space facilities are adding greatly to the quality of the urban environment. At present they are generally accepted, although not much on the basis of a closely reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right path. However, this does not mean that enough details are known about the functions of green space in towns and about the way in which inhabitants are using these spaces.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has resulted in unequal attention for forms of recreation far from home, at the same time there has been relatively little attention for improving recreation possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not spend in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have a creative element.The very best standard of living is nothing if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does the speaker say about the importance of green spaces in the urban environment?2. What has the theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation led to?3. According to the speaker, how should green space facilities be designed?4. According to the speaker, what does the urban environment have to offer?5. What is the main idea of the talk?Key: 1. (B) 2. (A) 3. (C) 4. (A) 5. (D)Passage 2The Chinese government's plan to put environmental concerns into national and local economic development planning is based on its confidence and strong commitment to the concept of managed development. While keeping a close eye and a heavy hand on existing polluters, the officials have put more attention on prevention.In addition to a recent official statement encouraging environmentally friendly technology and industries, the National Environmental Protection Agency issued a united order with Ministry of Supervision demanding that local officials immediately stop financing heavily polluting businesses. The move is to prevent township factories from further damaging t~ environment.But shutting down polluting factories is only part of the solution. There must be appropriate technological and financial instruments to facilitate environmentally friendly development.The United Nations General Assembly will hold a special meeting later this month to review the process of managed development worldwide. The Chinese hope to see stronger commitment from the world community for international working together in the fight to protect our common natural surroundings. No single country can save the environment alone.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the talk you have just heard.6. What is the speaker mainly discussing?7. What does the speaker say about the Chinese government's plan?8. According to the talk, what is demanded of local officials toward the polluting businesses?9. According to the talk, what is the purpose of the special meeting of the UN General Assembly?10. What is important to the world community in the fight for environmental protection? Key: 6. (C) 7. (C) 8. (C) 9. (B) 10. (B)Passage 3Inland waters may be grouped into two general classes: standing waters and flowing waters. As is often the case, the boundary between these two classes is not sharp and clear. A pond is an example of standing water. But most ponds are fed by springs or brooks and most have an exit. Thus, some current of changing water flows through them. On the other hand, a river is an example of flowing water. In some places, however, a river may have such a slow current that is very difficult to notice.。

Unit 9 听力原文Part IBHello, sports fans, and welcome to “This Week’s Sports〞. The big news this week, of course, is the basketball championship. It started on Friday. The Lions beat the Hawks, ninety-four to sixty-eight. That score again: The Lions won. Lions ninety-four, Hawks sixty-eight.Things were closer with the Tigers and the Eagles. The Eagles won. They won by just four points. The score: one hundred and three to ninety-nine. Again, the Eagles one-oh-three, the Tigers ninety-nine.Next, the Panthers played the Bears. The Panthers won over the Bears, eighty-seven to seventy-three. The Panthers eighty-seven, the Bears seventy-three.And in the last game, the Rockets beat the Comets. The Rockets won, seventy-two to sixty-five. Rockets seventy-two, Comets sixty-five.Then on Saturday, we saw some real action. It was the Lions against the Eagles. And the Lions won, with ninety-two points. The Eagles had eighty points. The score: Lions ninety-two, Eagles eighty.And in the other big game on Saturday, the Rockets beat the Panthers one hundred and seven to eighty-six. The Rockets won. Rockets one-oh-seven, Panthers eighty-six.That brings us to the championship game on Sunday. It was the Lions against the Rockets. It was a good game. And in the end, the Rockets won; they had one hundred and nine points. The Lions had ninety-eight. So the new champions are the Rockets. Rockets one-oh-nine, Lions ninety-eight.That’s it for basketball action. Turning now to the excitement of professional bowling ...CWoman: So, are you watching the cup final this weekend?Man: Um..., no, I don’t think so.Woman: Don’t you like football?Man: No. I can’t stand it. Sorry to sound so miserable.Woman: Mmm, I hate it too, but I watch the World Cup Final.Man: I can’t play, that’s my problem. I’m hopeless at it! If I’m not very good at a sport, I don’t like watching it.Woman: So, what do you like, then?Man: I play golf.Woman: Oh, right. ... My husband plays. I’m not interested in it, though. It’s...not my cup of tea. He plays golf, I go horse riding.Man: Oh right. Well you could play polo—both of you. That’s half horse riding, half golf! ...I’d love to have a go at riding, actually. I bet it’s good fun.Woman: Oh, it’s good funMan: So, do you have your own horse?Woman: No, I’d love to have one, but um ... it’s expensive.Man: Yeah. I’m quite interested in tropical fish. I’d like to have an aquarium, but ... it’s a problem if you travel a lot ...Woman: Tropical fish?Man: Yeah. I’d like to have some piranhas.Woman: Piranhas?Man: Well, they say a hundred piranhas can eat a horse in less than five minutes! Woman: Oh!Man: I’m not sure if that includes the rider or not ...Part III Match of the Day1. Today ends with a fight featuring Onokuni, also known as the Panda. He has quite an easy fight today in a match against Fujino shin. Fujino shin is heavy at 150 kilos, rather close to the ground. He’s nicknamed The Truth, which comes from a fighting name which means “The True Mount Fuji〞.The fight is delayed by a false start from Fujino shin. That worries Onokuni a little — he’s a man who doesn’t like to start too soon.It’s the Panda who wins in the end. Fujino shin starts well, and he pushes the Panda backwards, but he doesn’t seem to be able to follow through. Onokuni is just too big to move —and in the end he pushes his way through, using the advantage of 60 extra kilos and he carries Fujino shin away. A good win for Onokuni.2. Now then, Hignita’s came about 40 meters out of the goal there to take the ball. And he must bea worried man. Well, the atmosphere is really alight now here in Naples. Roger Milla, forCameroon, hopes to get them through to the quarter final. No African country has ever gone that far. But it’s not over yet. Can they do it again? Hignita comes out from the goal — he seems to want to get involved. I do not believe it, a goal, he’s thrown the chance away. Roger Milla scores. That’s it, 2-0. Roger Milla makes this World Cup belong to Cameroon. They now know that they’re on the way, I’m sure to the quarter finals. Higuita looks upset, the Colombians can’t believe it.3. And in first place is Glenda Walsh from the United States, then Kostic from Yugoslavia, and then comes Murray. But Murray is looking very comfortable indeed; and only 80 meters to go now, here comes Murray, coming up past Kostic now. it’s Walsh leading, Murray in second place. And Murray responds to the cheers of the crowd —with 80 meters to go, here she comes. Anne Murray hits the front, Walsh is beaten, and Anne Murray is going to win for Scotland. Here she is, she’s over the line in one minute 44.96 seconds, and second was Glenda Walsh, but that was a good win for Anne Murray, under one minute 45 seconds, and this is only her second serious outdoor race this summer. She is looking very good.Part ⅣMore about the topic: SportsmanshipIf you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even experienced it. Football players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around. Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an intense 90 minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 1_2 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What’s going on? It’s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.What Is Sportsmanship?Sportsmanship is defined as:●playing fair●following the rules of the game●respecting the judgment of referees and officials●treating opponents with respectSome people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule〞of sports — in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you’d like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges. and other officials.But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans. and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.Practicing Good SportsmanshipSo what does it take to demonstrate good sportsmanship in real-life situations? Here are some examples of things you can do:●Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play.●Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, during, and after games and events.●Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game.●Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official. Remember, too, that if you respond with violence you could get penalized, which could hurt your chances of winning.●Cheer your teammates on with positive statements — and avoid trash-talking the other team. Acknowledge and applaud good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them.●When officials make a call, accept it gracefully even if it goes against you. Remember that referees may not be right every time — but they’re people who are doing their best, just as you are.●Whether you win or lose, congratulate your opponents on a game well playedPart V Memory test: Which Sport?First commentator: ... and McAlister bringing up the rear. And Brown is a good 4 yards ahead at the half-way mark and he’s still jumping smoothly and confidently. Smith is moving up steadily, though I think he’s tiring. And Brown glances back over his shoulder, he’s still got a good lead. Oh, my goodness me! He’s fallen, what a tragedy, he’s on the ground and Smith’s going past him with a smile on his face. Oh this really is a terrible disappointment for young Leroy Brown from Croydon, who had such high ho pes of making the final …Second commentator: ... backhand across court to Bradford, return across the net, Davis just reaches it at full stretch with a forehand low across the net, Bradford lobs and Davis smashes the ball into the net. Oh, what a bad mistake at this stage of the match by this 22-year-old New Zealander ...Umpire: Deuce.Commentator: And Bradford serves from the left-hand court, quick passing shot from Davis who smashes that one down ...Third Commentator: ... and with sixty seconds left in this final round, Robson is still very much on the attack. A left-hand jab to the shoulder has Leonard staggering back onto the ropes and Leonard is really in trouble now as Robson moves in with that lethal right hand of his, he’s really punishing this 18-year-old Scot. And the referee’s moving forward pushing Robson away — he’s having a word with him, I think he may be going to warn him, no he’s not, he’s having a word with Leonard now. Leonard is shaking his head and looking terribly tired ... and the referee ... he’s stopped the fight ... it’s all over and so Robson is now the new ...Fourth Commentator: ... a fine shot puts the red into the center pocket and leaves him in a good position to take the pink and he’s going to try to put it into the far pocket he may be making a big mistake here, but Thompson is a very experienced player and he doesn’t usually make mistakes ... Oh dear, he’s pocketed the cue ball ... a very bad error there and that really does leave it wide open for Donovan to take the frame ...Fifth Commentator: ... so it’s the All Stars in the lead at the beginning of the third quarter and it’s still anyone’s match. Anderson with a high ball to Sampson who takes it up towards the Rochester net and passes to Green for a shot but it goes wide and the loose ball is picked up by Thomas for Rochester, across to Hunter, the 21-year-old Welsh international, who tries a long shot and it’s in!23 all now and everything to play for ...Sixth Commentator: ... Williams takes the throw and St Mary’s get the ball, it goes back to Murphy and out to Green and then to Jones, who’s unmarked. He’s got a clear run to the far corner if ... Oh, he’s making for the post. This could be dangerous because the Richmond fullback is gaining on him now. He looks back but he’s not going to make it. He tries a kick and ... he’s justmanaged to make touch. Lucky there. And now there’s a lineout on the far side, 20 yards from the Richmond goal line ...Seventh Commentator: ... not a good start for the British girl but she’s managing to make it up and the Russian girl is now only about five strokes ahead. And at the turn, Debbie is closing the gap, the Russian girl is visibly tiring, this is where stamina really counts and at 24 Ludmilla may well be less fit than 15-year-old Debbie Woods. And it’s between the two of them, they’re side by side now and with 10 yards to go ... what a finish! Come on Debbie, you can do it ... Come on Debbie ...。

新视野大学英语读写教程第二册（第二版）Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3.

I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3.

They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be ma rrying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark was marrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable. After all, marriage across nations may have its problem of one kind or another.1. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be marrying for the wrong reason.2. Mark wanted to marry Gail so that he could remain in the United States.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 4 第四单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wrote a story about love, and I hope you like it. The story is about a young soldier who is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with. I suppose it’s a lot like my other stories in that it has a happy ending. Y ou might laugh at me for writing stories that are so sweet. But, you see, I am a deep believer in love, and I am hopeful about everyone finding it.

Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to red uce their access to tobacco products, andto restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follow s the child throughout his or her life.How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them? Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when the child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’wishes for their child.2.

Being tense can damage your heart, so it is wise to take charge of your life and realize you cannot control everything. But you can control stress which is caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, and lack of control. Anger may also be the root of this stress, especially for hard-working professional women and people with no goals in life. To relax and take control of your life, try the NICE factors: new, interesting, challenging experiences. And follow Ben Franklin’s example by writing down the major goals you want to achieve in your life.

We work hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much. We then will realize how much we have missed in life! Work definitely is not the whole of life.

What I did have, though, was a supportive family, and with their help, I was able to become one of the top lawyers in the state of Floridaand then a Florida State Supreme Court Justice. And you know what? It wasn’t as hard as you may think. It started with a clear set of rules: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before and never give up. When I was younger, I didn’t always remember the rules myself, so my father had to remind me. After a while, though, the rules became habit and everything else sort of fell into place.1. He owed his success to his supportive family.2. The rules were: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before, and never give up.3.

It's very easy on the ear, and it almost sounds poetic. No matter what kind of mood the individual is in,who's talking, or what they're talking about, there seems to be a rhythm to the language.And it's rounded; there are no sharp, jagged edges to the language, so it's very pleasingto the ear.Chris: I think the accent I really like is the Dane speaking English. They sound awful when they speak Danish, but when they speak English there's a beautiful, low, sensitive, verysoft quality about it.Donald: I like the way they bring their French pronunciation into English. They can't pronounce "h"s and they can't pronounce "th" properly. And I think that actually sounds very nice.Also I like the rhythm: they bring French rhythms into English--nice, steady rhythmsand I like that too. It's just it, it... whenever I hear a French person speaking English itsounds more gentle and more lyrical.Lesley: I think the most attractive foreign accents for me are Mediterranean accents because they, if you like, import their own culture into the English accent and give it a lot of life that sometimes, that kind of--the gestures and everything that the English people don't have, so you get a beautiful mixture of the serious Northern European and the Southern European together.Susan: I like the Swedish accent because it, it makes me smile and the way it's spoken is so sing-songy that you can't help but smile when other people actually speak it. And it always makes you want to try and put the accent on yourself.Task 3【答案】spelling; meaning; history; a slab of ham; a lump of bread; hunk of something to eat; a strong man;a book of maps; the top bone of the neck; Olympians; holding the sky on his head and hands; Sixteenth; on the cover of a book of maps; blessing; I hope you will have a good night; day’s eye; it has a little golden eye, like a tiny sun; the English daisy closes at night; the English loved their daisies.【原文】The spelling and meaning of words are very interesting. But what's more interesting is the history of a word, or where it came from. Let's examine some of the words and see how they got into our language.LUNCH Lunch perhaps comes from an old Spanish word lonje, a slab of ham. We may also get our word from a form of lump, maybe a lump of bread, but whether lunch comes from ham or bread, it meant a hunk of something to eat.ATLAS An atlas is a strong man, and also a book of maps. The story of this word begins a long time ago in Greece. The ancient Greeks believed that their gods had once been a race of giants called Titans. The Titans fought with another group of gods called Olympians, and the Olympians won. Atlas was a Titan. He was punished for fighting by having to stand at the western edge of the world, holding the sky on his head and hands, so that it would not fall on the world and smash anything.After the ancient Greek religion died out, the idea of Atlas changed. From holding up the sky with his head and hands, he came to be thought of as holding the world on his shoulders. Mercator, a mapmaker of the sixteenth century, used a picture of Atlas on the cover of a book of maps, so a book of maps came to be called an atlas.The word has still another meaning. The top bone of the neck is called atlas because it supports the head.GOOD-BYE Good-bye is a blessing; originally it was God be with ye, and in the course of time it became one word. Many of our greetings are good wishes, but we say them with so little thought that we forget this. When we say good morning, good evening, good night, and so on, what we are really saying is, "I hope you will have a good morning (or evening, or night)."DAISY The daisy has a little golden eye, like a tiny sun. Perhaps this is the reason the English people named it day's eye, or perhaps they chose the name because the English daisy closes at night. The English loved their daisies, which were pink and red, as well as white. Six hundred years or so ago, the English poet Chaucer said:The daisy, or else the eye of the day,The queen, and prettiest flower of all.Task 4【答案】A.1) T2) T3) F4) T5) FB.1) b2) c3) a4) c5) c6) b【原文】MATTHEW: Chris, why is it that there are so many different languages , and that in Europe certainly if you travel more than a hundred miles , you're likely to find peoplespeaking a completely different language to your own?CHRIS: Well, it's true to say that there are er ... hundreds and hundreds of different languages.It's perhaps um . . . however , more interesting and more informative to say that thereare several different groups of languages er . .. Most European languages,with theexception of I think Finnish and er .. . Basque and . . . Hungarian I believe,belong tothe Indo-European group of languages, I'm not very sure myself of the . . . the actualdetails of the history of these languages, but you can be very sure that er ... most ofthese languages , say Latin and Greek nd our own language a and er . . . German ander ... French and ... all the others, are connected. The reason why you can travel fromone Willage to another in Switzerland and er . . . from one area to another in Englandand find different dialects, if not different languages spoken, is that um ... severalhundred years ago communication was by word of mouth. Word of mouth meant thatpeople had to move ; if people were to move they needed roads and there were noroads.MATTHEW: Do you see any chance for a universal language like Esperanto?CHRIS: Not for an artificial er ... language, no ... I suppose the Roman Catholic Church usedLatin. but Latin had a ... a particular religious basis and this is probably why it wastherefore chosen. I don't see very much chance for Esperanto; I think it's an awfullygood idea but I don't believe that language works like that.I think people willprobably er .. . work towards the most convenient language to use.They will not setout to learn a new language. It seems to me that er ... either English,. Russian orChinese, perhaps Japanese, will be the language of the future er . . . My bet's onEnglish.MATTHEW: Maggie, why do you think it is that so few English people speak a second language? MAGGIE: I think when you learn a language at school ...it tends to be rather a dead occupation, and it's very difficult to stimulate any interest among school children. But when youactually go to the country and spend say a month in . . . in an exchange visit whenyou're a schoolgirl, or a schoolboy um ... then you suddenly become more interestedbecause you ... you want to communicate with poeple when you're actually abroad,and it's not safe to rely on the fact that most people speak English when um . . . inforeign countries. Mm . . . I think English people traditionally thought that . . . thatforeigners always spoke English, and a lot of foreigners do, but there are people thatyou meet in the street or you want to take a bus somewhere, then you find that youneed to speak the language and'it's very unnerving to be in a situation where you can'tcommunicate with people when you do want to travel around.MATTHEW: Have you ever been abroad and learnt er ... a language in the country? MAGGIE: Yes , well when I was a secretary I er... went and lived in Geneva for two years, andI learnt French at school but I . . . I really didn't speak it at all. I knew it theoreticallybut I wasn't able to communicate with people. But I was in a situation where if I didn'tspeak French , then I would not have been able to do my shopping and buyfood ,and so I picked the language up and I made friends with French people ... SwissFrench people, and I found that if I wanted to communicate with all . . . all the peoplethat I met , then I had to learn French, and I think it's the best method of learningbecause you're in the situation. It's very hard at times —you can sit through dinnerparties and not understand what ... what's going on and you think everybody thinksyou're stupid because you can't communicate with them, but it's ... it's the hard waybut I think it's the best way to learn.MATTHEW: Elfriede, you come from Austria and yet you've been living in England now for the last three years. Has having to learn and speak another language created greatproblems?ELFRIEDE: Um ... At the beginning, yes, it was rather difficult for me to get the right job . . .um. after you've lived here for one or two years you get to know the system and thenthat's quite good. You know how to use libraries and oh .. . you get to know where toum... call in emergencies; um ... you get to know ... er ...trying to get a radio andunderstand the radio and all the . . . programmes they have . . . um and when they'reon and the little stories.MATTHEW: What about English humour on the radio?ELFRIEDE: Um . . . I think that takes a very very long time to understand and I'm sorry to say that I haven't managed yet to understand it completely, but er... I find it veryinteresting to speak other languages um ... because English people have differenter ...have a different mentality, and have a very different character and a differenttemperament and it is fascinating for me to talk to them um... and also for myself tobe able to express myself in a different language and to communicate with them.Task 5【答案】1) A mother is leaving instructions with her babysitter before going out.2) Wake up; give her the dummy; give her a cuddle; sing to her; read her a story; go back to sleep.3) Two friends are taking about their holiday together.4) It reminds.., of... holiday; city; wine; good food; tower; view; walking along the river; paintings;I love...; I like...; I remember...5) Two women are meeting at a doctor’s waiting room.6) It's diagnosed; have another look; do something about...; go away; give.., for...; it's your turn. 【原文】Number 1Fiona: Okay, Deek, I'm off now.

Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obe y〞spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though they word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their voices. This self imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at say seven months, of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply Because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes.Playful and apparently meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents cash in on this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.Task 7【答案】Topic: Body language1.

ConclusionA sampling of; we pull an ear; we cross our legs; who don't communicate with body language; writers; frowns, scratches his chin, slaps his head, purses his lips, stares at the ceiling and throws up his arms.【原文】Let's talk about body language. You already "speak" it and "read" it. Body language is all of the small facial expressions, hand gestures and body movements that we make. We may not realize it,but each movement and expression says something about our feelings.In fact, we might say that body language is the clearest and most common way Of communicating our feelings directly to others. We all know the most obvious body "statements": We wave our hands in greeting, we shake hands, pat each other on the back, we hug friends and kiss loved ones. We smile, we laugh, we wink and we frown, and sometimes we cry. All of these gestures are called non-verbal communication (non-verbal means we do not use words to "say" what we feel.)Normally, we don't think very much about our body language. Our facial expressions and gestures are automatic and unconscious most of the time. But researchers tell us we might learn to under-stand each other a little better if we paid conscious attention to the hidden messages in body language. Let's consider a few of the more obvious facial, hand and body gestures.The human face is wonderfully rich in its ability to express feelings. The eyes, the eyebrows, the lips and the facial muscles are all capable of "saying" things.For example, we speak of "wide-eyed wonder". If the eyes open wide, that may mean surprise, wonder, excitement or sometimes fear. And that is an important thing to remember about body language--one element alone does not tell us everything. We have to see gestures in Combination. So wide eyes alone would not tell us whether the person was surprised, pleased or scared, but when we see wide eyes, a little smile and a slight tilt of the head, we understand that the person is "wonderfully pleased"."Squinty" eyes, tight lips, and the head pushed forward probably suggest anger or hostility.Half-closed eyes may suggest fatigue, boredom or indifference. But add a lowered tilt of the head, a fluttering of the eyelids and a slight smile, and we get a coy and flirtatious message.Strangely enough, one of the eye features over which we have very little control--the size of our pupils--says something about our interest in a subject. If we like something, our pupils get larger. Studies show that most men think a woman with large pupils is more "attractive" than the same woman with small pupils. But the men aren't really conscious of the pupils. They just know they like the "looks" better in the samples with large pupils. No wonder eye make-up is so popular.Eyebrows are almost like signal flags: one brow up, one down suggests doubt, disbelief or uncertainty. Both up means surprise or mistrust. Squeeze them together and we get a frown or scowl.The lips shape non-verbal as well as verbal messages. The smile is the most obvious, but try baring the teeth just on one side or pull the lips tightly across the teeth and the smile becomes a snarl and a threat. In this, and in many of our other body gestures, we are close to the animals.The lower lip by itself can say little things. The "pout" is a fat lower lip pushed way out. It means "I'm not happy because I'm not getting what I want." But if we tuck the lower lip into our mouth and bite it, we are conveying anxiety and fear. Licking the lips is a "dry mouth" gesture which usually means stress or anxiety.There are whole books written on hand gestures, and, in fact, hand or sign language has often been highly developed, especially as an aid to the deaf. But the routine hand language, such as pointing with the index finger to accuse someone, or the clenched fist beating in the air to threaten someone, is familiar to us all. But a clenched fist held close to the body usually means tension or anxiety while the open hands, palms up may mean "I'm innocent" or "give me" or "forgive me".Both hands raised up and facing the audience means "I give up" or "I surrender". But tilt thehands and palm down and extend the arm and it means "I bless" or "I give". The "pat on the head" is a kind of blessing or gesture of love and giving. We clap hands to indicate approval or in some cases to call someone or get attention.When the hands get very busy we say that someone "talks with his hands" and among certain individuals and cultures it is almost impossible to talk without a wild display of hand motions.If we are slightly puzzled by something, we may bring our finger to our lips. If it's a real puzzler, we scratch or rub our heads. If we do something wrong, we slap our heads. To start allover something, we often begin by taking our head in both hands to sort of clear our minds and "set our head on straight".These are only a sampling of the many types of body language. There are books which discuss everything from the way we pull an ear to the way we cross our legs. From the looks of things, the only people who don't communicate with body language are the writers. Readers never get to see how often the writer frowns, scratches his chin, slaps his head, purses his lips, stares at the ceiling and throws up his arms.Task 8In contemporary English, there are many reported differences in the talk of males and females . In same gender pairs having conversations, women generally discuss their personal feelings more than men . Men appear to prefer non-personal topics such as sport and news . Men tend to respond to mention personal experiences that match or connect with the other woman’s . There is a pattern documented in the American English social context of women cooperating and seeking connection via language, whereas men are more competitive and concerned with power via language . In mixed-gender pairs having conversations, the rate of men interrupting women is substantially greater than he reverse. Women are reported to use more expressions associated with tentativeness , such as “hedges〞(sort of , kind of ) and “tags〞(isn’t it ? , don’t you ?) , when expressing an opinion : Well ,erm , I think that golf is kind of boring , don’t you ?。

Part II Yoga exercises Classical yoga is a doctrine that is theistic and emphasizes purification through meditation. A yogi, or practitioner of yoga, meditates in order to achieve true bliss, which involves a complete withdrawal from the world. Yogis assume the bodily posture that affords them the most stability and the least effort. The yogi strives to transcend body and matter through consistent meditation.

AOutside viewVoice-overEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. V olunteers learn to solve problems,work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

So what can I do for you?Speaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do?Speaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic. Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor?Speaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature.For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2I’m not very sporty.Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea.Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CV and you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those. Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do. Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser gives the student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing.Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, Lucy?

Do you know it?Janet ：I’ve heard of it, yes, but I’ve never read it. It’s a 19th century children’s story, isn’t it?Kate ：That’s right. It’s very famous. It’s set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing? I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year. I’ve had such a good time –so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I’ve been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet：My screen’s gone dark.Mark ：You’re using the battery, remember. It’s run out, obviously.Janet ：It can’t be the battery. It’s still charged. Oh no it’s still black. Oh dear, I hope it’s nothing serious. I haven’t backed anything up recently.Kate ：That’s not like you, Janet.Janet ：I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I’ve lost everything!Mark ：Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working …I think it has to be the graphics card …But maybe that’s not the problem …Janet ：If only I’d backed things up!KateRelax, Janet!

KateI tell you what, I’ll read it to you.KateAlice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,”thought Alice “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) …JanetKate, Mark, where are you going? You’ve got my laptop!KateIt’s all right, Janet, we’re taking it to the computer shop. We’ll be back soon.MarkIt’s not like Janet to forget to back up her work.KateShe should have been more careful.JanetIt was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! JanetOh! It was a dream!

However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, thebig question was: “Will it fly at all?”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.Topics mentioned are: 1, 3, 5, 6 and 82.1.France2. China3. Britain4.

CListening inPassage1PresenterCould technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains work?BrianWell, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –and store information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity.JaneAnd if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in their identity.PresenterWhy exactly?JaneBecause the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour.PresenterCan you give an example?JaneRisk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.BrianBut she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.JaneThat’s true.BrianI agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently –we need much more researchbefore we can accept this.2.1. presenter2.

Aren’t they more trouble than they’re worth?Speaker 2I think that’s one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard!Speaker 1I thought you might say that.Speaker 2Of course we need computers. How can anyone say otherwise? They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computers mean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly.Speaker 1That’s not quite true.Speaker2Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go on? Speaker 1 But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minutes? What does it actually achieve?Speaker 2It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least.Speaker 1But why the hurry?Speaker 2It’s good to get things done quickly. Speaker 1Why?Speaker 2Because you get more done that way. Speaker 1But is that really necessarily better? Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more? Speaker 2I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such a long time.Speaker 1So what? We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we did? Everyone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers create? Speaker 2For example?Speaker 1Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet.Speaker 2The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased.Speaker 1You know as well as I do that it’s a big reason …Speaker 2Yes, but …6.1. Do we really need computer?2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.4. Life moves so fast these days. Don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more?7.1. I thought you might say that.2. That’s not quite true.3. But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minute?4. But why the hurry?5.But is that really necessarily better?6. So what?7. You know as well as I do it’s a big reason.。

英语听力教程（第2册）Unit8听力原文Unit 8 听力原文Part ICAn easy way to remember how much we need to exercise for fitness is to keep in mind the letters F, I and T:Frequency --- 3 to 5 days a weekIntensity—till your heart rate reaches your target speedTime -15 to 60 minutes each timeThen you may ask how to work out your target heart speed range. Let's do it together.The upper limit of your target heart speed range is 190 minus your age.The lower limit is 160 minus your age.For someone who is 20 years old, for example, his target heart speed range would be between 140 beats per minute (160-20) and 170 beats per minute (19~20).Once you've got your target speed range, you may start checking whether your exercise gives you the fitness effect.First, warm up with five minutes for stretch exercises. Then start your energetic exercise (e.g. jogging). About 10 minutes after starting energetic exercise, stop and check your pulse rate (whichis the same as your heart rate). Finally, count your pulse beats forl5 seconds and multiply by four.Remember to take your pulse rate as soon as you stop. If you wait even 30 seconds, the rate will have begun to slow and will not be accurate.You are getting the fitness effect if your pulse rate is in yourtarget heart speed range.Part II The digestive system and diarrheaAEvery now and again, a stressful situation may arise the course of our school, home or community life. Often, the situation involves disagreements between people.Sometimes, the situation involves work difficulties—not knowing how to solve a problem or having to make a difficult decision. At other times, it involves money—not having enough to spend or disagreement over what to spend on.That is why relationship problems, work-related problems and money problems are three well-known situations that cause stress. So knowing how to handle people, learning how to solve problems or make decisions, and living within our income all help to control stress.Here are four ways to help you control stress from situations.Clue #1: Be kind, loving and polite to your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. Make time to talk, play and relax together.Clue #2: Treat others the way you would like them to treat you. Smile, chat, laugh and do things together. Learn to cooperate, share and make sacrifices for others.Clue #3: Do not keep your worries to yourself. Talk them over with someone you respect. Two heads are better than one.Clue #4: Think of the good and bad points of each choice. Be guided by facts and not your feelings. Choose together with the people who will be affected by the results. In this way, they will see how the choice is made and be more willing to bear with the bad points.CThere are many explanations of why people catch colds. Some say colds are caused by the environment. Others say colds can result from smoking too much, lack of exercise, not enough rest, poor diet, or working too hard. But new studies suggest that people who feel extreme tension for a long period of time also may be at a higher risk of developing a cold. The researchers notethat stress is not the cause of all colds. But studies show that people who suffer from the stress caused by serious personal problems are more likely to get sick than those who do not.Researchers have spent years trying to find out why some people have colds more often than others. An earlier study directed in 1991 showed that emotional stress can lead to colds. In current studies, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh studied almost 300 people, ages 18 to 55. They were given physical, social and mental and emotional examinations. Then live cold viruses were placed in their noses. During the next five days, they were examined to find out who became infected by the virus and then developed signs of a Cold. Such signs include coughing, sneezing and a blocked nose. Stress lowers resistance, but just how it does is unknown. So in this study, the researchers look for the kinds of stress involved and how they might have affected resistance to colds. The study found that severe stress lasting a month or more increased the risk of a cold. Two causes of stress—losing a job or having difficulties with family members or friends—increase the risk the most.Part I II “So you wanna keep fit, huh?”Exercise keeps you fit and healthy. Exercises should be done three to five times a week. Exercise for at least 15 to 30 minutes each time. However, a good exercise plan should includewarming-up exercises before and cool-down exercises after vigorous activity. Both of them should last five to ten minutes. These exercises, such as head tilt, arm circles, side bend and toe touch, stretch your muscles and make them move more easily. They prepare you for vigorous activity and help your body slowly return to its normal breathing and heart rate after vigorous activity. Andhere comes Crystal Collins.Hi there! I'm Crystal Collins, and I'm very happy to share some time with you. So, you wanna keep fit, huh? Well, you sure came to the right place! Together we can keep fit and healthy, and be more successful.

Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the fancy equipment there show that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the thirdstate or gray state, is defined as a borderline state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-time, due to their heightened exposure to stress. Subhealth comes under several clinical names, including fatigue syndrome, endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, and climacteric syndrome. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. In addition, cardiovascular diseases such as palpitations and arrhythmia may appear. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly,and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic products because they are rich in nutritional elements--vitamins and trace elements--that are indispensable to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.Part V Memory test: How to Keep Your Liver HealthyThe liver does so much for your body that without it, you wouldn’t last longer than 24 hours. Its functions are so vital that if it falls into poor health, the rest of your body falls into poor health.In this video, we’re going to discuss in greater detail how to keep your liver healthy because a happier liver means a happier you. If you like to drink, be sure to do so in moderation. Drink aslittle as possible although one glass of red wine a day is acceptable and can even help your body. However, avoid hard liquors such as scotch, whiskey and vodka, which actually cause the most damage to your liver. Eat liver-healthy foods. Now we will be going to much more detail on healthy liver foods, liver diets and even liver cleanses in later videos, but it’s important that you eat foods rich in antioxidants such as kale, spinach, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. These foods will help your liver detoxify damaging chemicals that are currently in your body. Drink lots of water. Water is a great natural detoxifier. Water will flush toxins from your body, and give your liver a much needed break. This next suggestion can be tough for many, but by cutting down caffeine-rich stimulants, such as coffee, soda and tea, will also reduce the amount of work your liver has to put into removing toxins in your body as well. Exercise regularly, even if it’s l ightly. Getting out and exercise regularly increases liver activity by causing you to sweat and get your liver to push toxins out as you do. It’s like a jumpstart for your liver. Exercise does much more for you and your body beyond a healthy liver and is always a good idea if you want to stay healthy.。

Unit 9 听力原文Part IBHello, sports fans, and welcome to “This Week’s Sports”. The big news this week, of course, is the basketball championship. It started on Friday. The Lions beat the Hawks, ninety-four to sixty-eight. That score again: The Lions won. Lions ninety-four, Hawks sixty-eight.Things were closer with the Tigers and the Eagles. The Eagles won. They won by just four points. The score: one hundred and three to ninety-nine. Again, the Eagles one-oh-three, the Tigers ninety-nine.Next, the Panthers played the Bears. The Panthers won over the Bears, eighty-seven to seventy-three. The Panthers eighty-seven, the Bears seventy-three.And in the last game, the Rockets beat the Comets. The Rockets won, seventy-two to sixty-five. Rockets seventy-two, Comets sixty-five.Then on Saturday, we saw some real action. It was the Lions against the Eagles. And the Lions won, with ninety-two points. The Eagles had eighty points. The score: Lions ninety-two, Eagles eighty.And in the other big game on Saturday, the Rockets beat the Panthers one hundred and seven to eighty-six. The Rockets won. Rockets one-oh-seven, Panthers eighty-six.That brings us to the championship game on Sunday. It was the Lions against the Rockets. It was a good game. And in the end, the Rockets won; they had one hundred and nine points. The Lions had ninety-eight. So the new champions are the Rockets. Rockets one-oh-nine, Lions ninety-eight.That’s it for basketball action. Turning now to the excitement of professional bowling ...CWoman: So, are you watching the cup final this weekendMan: Um..., no, I don’t think so.Woman: Don’t you like footballMan: No. I can’t stand it. Sorry to sound so miserable.Woman: Mmm, I hate it too, but I watch the World Cup Final.Man: I can’t play, that’s my problem. I’m hopeless at it! If I’m not very good at a sport, I don’t like watching it.Woman: So, what do you like, thenMan: I play golf.Woman: Oh, right. ... My husband plays. I’m not interested in it, though. It’s...not my cup of tea. He plays golf, I go horse riding.Man: Oh right. Well you could play polo—both of you. That’s half horse riding, half golf! ...I’d love to have a go at riding, actually. I bet it’s good fun. Woman: Oh, it’s good funMan: So, do you have your own horseWoman: No, I’d love to have one, but um ... it’s expensive.Man: Yeah. I’m quite interested in tropical fish. I’d like to have an aquarium, but ... it’s a problem if you travel a lot ...Woman: Tropical fishMan: Yeah. I’d like to have some piranhas.Woman: PiranhasMan: Well, they say a hundred piranhas can eat a horse in less than five minutes! Woman: Oh!Man: I’m not sure if that includes the rider or not ...Part II Yoga ExercisesPart III Match of the Day1. Today ends with a fight featuring Onokuni, also known as the Panda. He has quite an easy fight today in a match against Fujino shin. Fujino shin is heavy at 150 kilos, rather close to the ground. He’s nicknamed The Truth, which comes from a fighting name which means “The True Mount Fuji”.The fight is delayed by a false start from Fujino shin. That worries Onokuni a little — he’s a man who doesn’t like to start too soon.It’s the Panda who wins in the end. Fujino shin starts well, and he pushes the Panda backwards, but he doesn’t seem to be able to follow through. Onokuni is just too big to move — and in the end he pushes his way through, using the advantage of 60 extra kilos and he carries Fujino shin away. A good win for Onokuni.2. Now then, Hignita’s came about 40 meters out of the goal there to take the ball. And he must be a worried man. Well, the atmosphere is really alight now here in Naples. Roger Milla, for Cameroon, hopes to get them through to the quarter final. No African country has ever gone that far. But it’s not over yet. Can they do it again Hignita comes out from the goal — he seems to want to get involved. I do not believe it, a goal, he’s thrown the chance away. Roger Milla scores. That’s it, 2-0. Roger Milla makes this World Cup belong to Cameroon. They now know that they’re on the way, I’m sure to the quarter finals. Higuita looks upset, the Colombians can’t believe it.3. And in first place is Glenda Walsh from the United States, then Kostic from Yugoslavia, and then comes Murray. But Murray is looking very comfortable indeed; and only 80 meters to go now, here comes Murray, coming up past Kostic now. it’s Walsh leading, Murray in second place. And Murray responds to the cheers of the crowd —with 80 meters to go, here she comes. Anne Murray hits the front, Walsh is beaten, and Anne Murray is going to win for Scotland. Here she is, she’s over the line in one minute seconds, and second was Glenda Walsh, but that was a good win for Anne Murray, under one minute 45 seconds, and this is only her second serious outdoor race this summer. She is looking very good.Part Ⅳ More about the topic: SportsmanshipIf you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even experienced it. Football players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around. Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an intense 90minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 1_2 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What’s going onIt’s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.What Is SportsmanshipSportsmanship is defined as:● playing fair● following the rules of the game● respecting the judgment of referees and officials● treating opponents with respectSome people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule” of sports — in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you’d like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges. and other officials.But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans. and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.Practicing Good SportsmanshipSo what does it take to demonstrate good sportsmanship in real-life situations Here are some examples of things you can do:● Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play.● Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, during, and after games and events.● Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game.● Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official. Remember, too, that if you respond with violence you could get penalized, which could hurt your chances of winning.● Cheer your teammates on with positive statements —and avoid trash-talking the other team.Acknowledge and applaud good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them.● When officials make a call, accept it gracefully even if it goes against you. Remember that referees may not be right every time — but they’re people who are doing their best, just as you are.● Whether you win or lose, congratulate your opponents on a game well played Part V Memory test: Which SportFirst commentator: ... and McAlister bringing up the rear. And Brown is a good 4 yards ahead at the half-way mark and he’s still jumping smoothly and confidently. Smith is moving up steadily, though I think he’s tiring. And Brown glances back over his shoulder, he’s still got a good lead. Oh, my goodness me! He’s fallen, what a tragedy, he’s on the ground and Smith’s going past him with a smile on his face. Oh this really is a terrible disappointment for young Leroy Brown from Croydon, who had such high hopes of making the final …Second commentator: ... backhand across court to Bradford, return across the net, Davis just reaches it at full stretch with a forehand low across the net, Bradford lobs and Davis smashes the ball into the net. Oh, what a bad mistake at this stageof the match by this 22-year-old New Zealander ...Umpire: Deuce.Commentator: And Bradford serves from the left-hand court, quick passing shot from Davis who smashes that one down ...Third Commentator: ... and with sixty seconds left in this final round, Robson is still very much on the attack. A left-hand jab to the shoulder has Leonard staggering back onto the ropes and Leonard is really in trouble now as Robson moves in with that lethal right hand of his, he’s really punishing this 18-year-old Scot. And the referee’s moving forward pushing Robson away — he’s having a word with him, I think he may be going to warn him, no he’s not, he’s having a word with Leonard now. Leonard is shaking his head and looking terribly tired ... and the referee ... he’s stopped the fight ... it’s all over and so Robson is now the new ... Fourth Commentator: ... a fine shot puts the red into the center pocket and leaves him in a good position to take the pink and he’s going to try to put it into the far pocket he may be making a big mistake here, but Thompson is a very experienced player and he doesn’t usually make mistakes ... Oh dear, he’s pocketed the cue ball ... a very bad error there and that really does leave it wide open for Donovan to take the frame ...Fifth Commentator: ... so it’s the All Stars in the lead at the beginning of the third quarter and it’s still anyone’s match. Anderson with a high ball to Sampson who takes it up towards the Rochester net and passes to Green for a shot but it goes wide and the loose ball is picked up by Thomas for Rochester, across to Hunter, the 21-year-old Welsh international, who tries a long shot and it’s in! 23 all now and everything to play for ...Sixth Commentator: ... Williams takes the throw and St Mary’s get the ball, it goes back to Murphy and out to Green and then to Jones, who’s unmarked. He’s got a clear run to the far corner if ... Oh, he’s making for the post. This could bedangerous because the Richmond fullback is gaining on him now. He looks back but he’s not going to make it. He tries a kick and ... he’s just managed to make touch. Lucky there. And now there’s a lineout on the far side, 20 yards from the Richmond goal line ...Seventh Commentator: ... not a good start for the British girl but she’s managing to make it up and the Russian girl is now only about five strokes ahead. And at the turn, Debbie is closing the gap, the Russian girl is visibly tiring, this is where stamina really counts and at 24 Ludmilla may well be less fit than 15-year-old Debbie Woods. And it’s between the two of them, they’re side by side now and with 10 yards to go ... what a finish! Come on Debbie, you can do it ... Come on Debbie ...。
