I watched a TV show last night, called “All that Glitters Is Olympic Gold”.W. I watched that too. It was about the training and sacrifice necessary for athletes to compete in the Olympics. Q. What was the TV show about?3. W. Running the hundred-meter dash is nothing compared to the passion necessary to run longer races.M. Are you kidding? I’ve run both and I know they both require determination.Q. Why does the man disagree with the woman?4. M. Do you think drug taking is widespread among amateur athletes trying to get stronger?W.

You don’t have to deny yourself sweet food just because you’re in the Olympics.M. Yes I do! With the games coming so soon, I have to stay on a healthy diet.Q. Why does the man refuse the woman’s offer?8. M. Most people who watch the Olympics would like to be like the athletes they see.W. Maybe they would. But I don’t think most of them have the determination to work so hard to get there.Q. What does the woman think about people who watch the Olympic Games?9. W. Are you noticing the frowns on the faces of the runners? Not one of them looks happy.M. You can be sure the two runners from our country are happy. Out of the five races, they’ve won four.Q. How many races have the runners from the speakers’ country won?10. M. Just hearing the Olympic song fills me with determination to go out and won.W. It was first played in 1896, but it wasn’t the official song until 1958. I like it too.Q.

That summer, Jesse Owens, a black American, joined the best athletes from 50 nations to compete in the Olympics in Berlin, Germany.There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year because Adolph Hitler was then the leader of Germany. He and his Nazi party believed that white people were better than other races, especially those with dark skin. They were all very surprised when Owens won four gold medals and set new world records.Years later, Jesse Owens wrote that he was most proud of showing Hitler and the world how great a black man could be. Through everything, he never lost confidence in himself. Nor did he ever lose pride in himself. To this day, Jesse Owens is remembered as an amazing man who fully expressed the Olympic spirit.Qs: 1. Why were so many people interested in the 1936 Olympic Games? C2. According to the passage, what did the Nazi party believe? B3. What surprised Hitler and the Nazi? C4.

DUnderstanding a Movie DialogueKeys: 1. training 2. touch 3.understand 4.appreciate, 5.trouble 6. fighting 7.three 8. honest 9.cry10. borrowListening and DiscussionEmily was crying by the time the softball(垒球) game finished, because her dad had yelled at her in front of all her teammates for missing a fly ball that could have ended the game. Emily was only eight years old.If your child has ever participated in a sport, you’ve undoubtedly met people like Emily’s dad. They expect too much from their children and upset them by putting too much pressure on them. These parents get so wrapped up in（全神贯注于）winning and losing or in low well their won children perform that they lose sight of what’s really important. They forget that the most important goal is helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship occurs when teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other with due respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see adults demonstrating good sportsmanship finally come to understand the real winners are those who know how to be strong and to act with self-respect—whether they win or lose a game. A child who treats others with respect on the playing field will likely carry this attitude into the classroom and other social situations.1.Why was Emily crying by the time the softball game ended?Because children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.2.What is the most important goal in children’s sports?Helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.3.When do athletes demonstrate good sportsmanship?When people treat each other with due respect.4.What, in your opinion, is sportsmanship?5.Please give some examples of how sportsmanship is displayed in daily life.Supplementary Listening task 1: Let’s go divingM: Have you ever tried scuba diving?W: No, I’m kind of scared of the whole diving thing. I mean, I hear all these stories about getting sick from coming up too fast and dangerous fish and stuff. I don’t think it’s for me.M: I guess there’s a lot that could go wrong, but if you’ve been trained and you follow the rules, there’s really nothing to worry about.W: I don’t know.M: It’s really worth trying. It’s a whole other world down there. It’s such an amazing experience.W: That’s what a lot of people tell me, but I think I’d prefer to stick to surfing rather than take my chances in the deep.M: To be honest, I think you have more chance of meeting with an accident surfing than diving.W: As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’ll be OK.M: Diving’s the same. You just have to follow the rules. Say, I’m going next weekend. Why don’t you come along? There’s a pool that isn’t so deep where you can see all kinds of fish and things. It’s perfect for a novice diver.W: Well, if it’s not too deep, it can’t be too bad. Why not? Sure, I’ll go with you.M: Great!1.According to the man, what makes diving scary? D2.What measures might help ensure the safety of diving? C3.According to the conversation, what has be woman heard about diving? D4.What does the man think about surfing? B5.Why does the woman decide to join the man in diving? ATask 2 Aerobic Dancing (有氧操)Some people sat that aerobic dancing us a sport, and others say it’s not. I’ve begun a class that teaches aerobics, and I would like to tell you about it. I think you’ll be very excited about this vigorous exercise and will agree with me that it’s a sport.Aerobic dancing is like other sports in that it can help you improve your mental strength. Often, when doing it, you’ll want to quit. Continuing, despite your desire to stop, forces you to be strong. The encouragement that you receive from those around you helps you to carry on for the entire 45 minutes until the end. It’s something like running a long race.Like swimming, aerobic dancing makes your body stronger. It quickens your heart beat and helps you to lose fat. Many football players, as well as athletes in other sports, do aerobic dancing to improve their fitness. Many other people enjoy it as well. Aerobic dancing can change your life. If you participate regularly, it’ll make you a better person, both mentally and physically. I recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit more out of life.1.According to the passage, how do people feel about aerobic dancing? A2.In which way is aerobic dancing similar to other sports? B3.Who will encourage you not to quit when doing aerobic dancing? C4.How is aerobic dancing like swimming?B5.According to the speaker, who should take part in aerobic dancing?

People from some countries think it is OK to show up late for a meeting and some people even don't think they need to come at all! As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is notacceptable. Whereas in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact words that I would use to explain my feelings. I even wrote my words down.

And if you say otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about.W: I know you're strong. That's not the problem.M: Then you think my heart is weak. But that isn't so! I have amazing determination. I swear, my passion is unmatched by any other amateur athlete in the world. I defy you to say otherwise.W: I wouldn't dare. I've seen you run and not quit, and I know your heart is strong.

The rate forthe first is 65 percent; the second, 70 percent.Q: What is the divorce rate of marriages between people of different races?LONGW: Grandpa, Mom told me that you have been married twice. Is that true? M: Yes, I'm afraid so.W: That's a surprise. What happened to your first wife?M: Your grandma was my first wife.W: But...M: And your grandma is my second wife. You see, I met her while I was in Germany during the war. We knew we loved each other from the moment we met, so we got married right away. But we weren't ready for the resistance we received from her family. Her mother insisted that Americans and Germans weren't compatible. So, she divorced me.W: Too bad. What happened then?M: Three years later, we met again in New York, quite by accident.

Somehow, however, we made it work. And I found myself growing to become more like him. I started picking up Chinese characteristics and began speaking English with a Chinese accent! My brother joked, saying I was even beginning to look Chinese! My husband has changed a lot too, becoming more like Canadians in attitude. I suppose this is something of a compromise wherein we met each other in the middle. I suspect that we will continue to grow more alike as time goes by; that is exciting to me.

So, what does she look like?M: I don't really know. So far, we've only communicated by mail.I've never seen her.W: Not much of a girlfriend, then, is she?M: I think I'm in love with her. Isn't that what it means to have a girlfriend? W: Well, that wouldn't have been enough for your father and me. We wouldn't have fallen in love without meeting.

Some people might find this strange, especially considering that Thomson lost an arm and the use of both legs in combat. "Of course, I didn't like the fighting," Thomson said. What he did like was that, by going to war, he met the woman whowould become his wife and the mother of his four children. One effect of World War II was that it brought many young people from different countries together. When peace was achieved, these young people oftenfell in love with people of different nationalities. During World War II, an estimated 1,000,000 American soldiers married women from over 50 different countries. In the Pacific, 16,000 of the 1,000,000 American soldiers married Australian and New Zealand women. Of these, 12,000 went to the U.S. Many of the relationships failed, but some were as happy as Thomson's.1. What did Thomson lose during the war?2. What did Thomson enjoy about the war?3.

It'sfull of adviceon raising children.M: I sure have! It has been a big help. Now, I understand my two sons much better than before.Q: What does the man think about the book?3.M: I took our daughter to the doctor. The doctor took one look at her lungs, and he knew she had been smoking.W: I knew it! But why won't she listen to us? I tell her all the time that smoking is bad.Q: What does the woman tell her daughter?4.W: I'm very impressed by your daughter! She has such good manners and seems so well-behaved!M: She's a good girl. We've always had a good relationship. We're able to talk about things that worry us as well.Q: What do the man and woman agree upon?5.M: Thank you for meeting with me. Can you tell me how my daughter is doing in class?W: Since our last meeting, there has been a great improvement in her work. Q: What has taken place since the man and the woman met the last time?6.M: I can't believe that you bought our daughter eye-liner. Didn't we agree she was too young for it?W: I'm sorry.

TV often has a bad influence on people.Q: What does the woman think about television?8.M: My parents are very generous with me. Sometimes, I wonder if their generosity has been bad for my character.W: You seem all right — not too greedy or selfish. I don't think it has done you any harm.Q: How does the woman feel about the man's parents?9.W: Do you think our son is getting into trouble? Is he violent?M: Our son? No way!

We've made it clear to him that violence is never the answer to a problem.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?10.W: How's your reading on teenage behavior going? Have you learned anything? M: Yeah. It says here that 50 percent of all teenagers are from broken homes and that these children are 73 percent more likely to commit crimes.Q: How much more likely is it that teenagers from broken homes will commit crimes?LONGW: Many people are having trouble with their sons and daughters. I was just reading a newspaper article on it this morning. There are190,000 teenagers in our city. M: Does it say anything about the causes of teenage violence? My son has been hitting other students at school.W: Yes. It says TV has a major influence. By 18, teenagers have often seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV. And people who have seen the most violence on TV tend to be the most violent.M: My son doesn't watch much TV, so it must be something else.W: Maybe it's music. Teenagers typically listen to four hours of music every day. Many of the songs have very violent messages.M: Does the article say that violence in pop music leads to violent behavior? W: It isn't quite clear. The article reports on two studies. One report says teenagers who listen to pop music are almost twice as likely to become violent, while the other one says there's nosignificant connection between the two factors.1.

Which of the following does the man's son NOT do very often?5. What do the studies say about music and violence?PASSIt's odd that parents are so worried about their teenagers smoking, especially since smoking isn't a teenager's biggest problem. Then what is? Shockingly, a teenager's biggest problem is his own mother andfather! Today's teenagers know they should not smoke, but they don't know when not to listen to their parents. They don't know they shouldsay no to their parents when their parents are being too generous. Therefore, as they receive more and more from their parents, the teenagers become greedy and selfish. Gradually, they have become spoiled. Studies show that spoiled teenagers are much more likely to take drugs and do poorly in school. They may also develop poor manners and get pregnant at an earlier age. However, this is not what parents want to hear. They think they are being kind to their teenagers, and they have a tendency to ignore the damage they are really doing.1. According to the speaker, what seems strange?2. What does the speaker think causes a teenager's problems?3. What does the speaker suggest that parents should NOT do?4. What might teenagers do as a result of being spoiled?5. What are parents likely to ignore?。

Mr. Robbins: As an exhibitor, choosing the right trade fair is essential. If the trade fair is too specialist or too broad, it’s unlikely to attract visitors who want to buy what you sell, and participating in trade fairs can be a waste of time. So, you see, when you attend a trade fair, you should make sure you know what kind of customers you want to reach and what you want to achieve. John: Anything else I should know? Mr. Robbins: One more thing. You should make specific and measurable goals. If you choose your fair carefully and give yourself plenty of time to plan your goals, you’ll have a good chance of doing good business. John: Good. You really are a specialist. Thank you. Mr. Robbins: You’re welcome, John. By the way, there’s an IT trade show being held now. It might be a good idea for you to go and have a look. You’d get an idea of what’s going on. John: Thank you, I will. That’s a good idea.

You might just miss it.Q: What does the man mean?1. A2.D3.B4.C5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter MovieAmy: I‟m so excited about finally seeing this movie!Peter: Me too. I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All daylong before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV. Speaking OutModel 1 Will you come with me?John: Laura, I am wondering if you‟re free tomorrow night.Laura: Well, I guess I am. Why?John: I‟ve got two Star Wars premiere tickets. Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It‟s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie.So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I‟m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You‟re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What‟s on your mind?A: I‟ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.A: It‟s nothing.B: I‟ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets?A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-artspecial effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It‟s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it‟s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings. B: You‟re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It‟s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak.They just didn‟t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can‟t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He‟s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She‟s adorable!V. Let‟s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up insituations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he‟s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry‟s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I‟d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It‟s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There‟re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What‟s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to comparethem with today‟s technology, and you‟ll find there isn‟t anything to compare. It‟s so superior today.。

That summer, Jesse Owens, a black American, joined the best athletes from 50 nations to compete in the Olympics in Berlin, Germany.There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year because Adolph Hitler was then the leader of Germany. He and his Nazi party believed that white people were better than other races, especially those with dark skin. They were all very surprised when Owens won four gold medals and set new world records.Years later, Jesse Owens wrote that he was most proud of showing Hitler and the world how great a black man could be. Through everything, he never lost confidence in himself. Nor did he ever lose pride in himself. To this day, Jesse Owens is remembered as an amazing man who fully expressed the Olympic spirit.Qs: 1.

Emily was only eight years old.If your child has ever participated in a sport, you’ve undoubtedly met people like Emily’s dad. They expect too much from their children and upset them by putting too much pressure on them. These parents get so wrapped up in（全神贯注于）winning and losing or in low well their won children perform that they lose sight of what’s reallyimportant. They forget that the most important goal is helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship occurs when teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other with due respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see adults demonstrating good sportsmanship finally come to understand the real winners are those who know how to be strong and to act with self-respect—whether they win or lose a game. A child who treats others with respect on the playing field will likely carry this attitude into the classroom and other social situations.1.Why was Emily crying by the time the softball game ended?Because children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.2.What is the most important goal in children’s sports?Helping children develop a sense of good sportsmanship.3.When do athletes demonstrate good sportsmanship?When people treat each other with due respect.4.What, in your opinion, is sportsmanship?5.Please give some examples of how sportsmanship is displayed in daily life.Supplementary Listening task 1: Let’s go divingM: Have you ever tried scuba diving?W: No, I’m kind of scared of the whole diving thing. I mean, I hear all these stories about getting sick from coming up too fast and dangerous fish and stuff. I don’t think it’s for me.M: I guess there’s a lot that could go wrong, but if you’ve been trained and you follow the rules, there’s really nothing to worry about.W: I don’t know.M: It’s really worth trying. It’s a whole other world down there. It’s such an amazing experience.W: That’s what a lot of people tell me, but I think I’d prefer to stick to surfing rather than take my chances in the deep.M: To be honest, I think you have more chance of meeting with an accident surfing than diving.W: As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’ll be OK.M: Diving’s the same. You just have to follow the rules. Say, I’m going next weekend. Why don’t you come along? There’s a pool that isn’t so deep where you can see all kinds of fish and things. It’s perfect for a novice diver.W: Well, if it’s not too deep, it can’t be too bad. Why not? Sure, I’ll go with you.M: Great!1.According to the man, what makes diving scary? D2.What measures might help ensure the safety of diving? C3.According to the conversation, what has be woman heard about diving? D4.What does the man think about surfing?

I’ve begun a class that teaches aerobics, and I would like to tell you about it. I think you’ll be very excited about this vigorous exercise and will agree with me that it’s a sport.Aerobic dancing is like other sports in that it can help you improve your mental strength. Often, when doing it, you’ll want to quit. Continuing, despite your desire to stop, forces you to be strong. The encouragement that youreceive from those around you helps you to carry on for the entire 45 minutes until the end. It’s something like running a long race.Like swimming, aerobic dancing makes your body stronger. It quickens your heart beat and helps you to lose fat. Many football players, as well as athletes in other sports, do aerobic dancing to improve their fitness. Many other people enjoy it as well. Aerobic dancing can change your life. If you participate regularly, it’ll make you a better person, both mentally and physically. I recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit more out of life.1.According to the passage, how do people feel about aerobic dancing? A2.In which way is aerobic dancing similar to other sports? B3.Who will encourage you not to quit when doing aerobic dancing? C4.How is aerobic dancing like swimming?B5.According to the speaker, who should take part in aerobic dancing?

I?m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series? Amy: She?s already written Book Seven? I?m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn?t?

The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.?” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You?ve ruined my play! You?ve ruinedme!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It?s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It?s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It?s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it?s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV. Speaking OutModel 1 Will you come with me?John: Laura, I am wondering if you?re free tomorrow night.Laura: Well, I guess I am. Why?John: I?ve got two Star Wars premiere tickets. Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It?s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie.So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I?m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You?re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What?s on your mind?A: I?ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.A: It?s nothing.B: I?ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets?A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me. A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You?re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It?s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it?s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings. B: You?re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It?s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don?t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak.They just didn?t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can?t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He?s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don?t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of themovie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She?s adorable!V. Let?s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock?s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he?d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he?s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn?t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry?s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry?s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don?t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry?s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn?t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry?s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I?d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It?s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There?re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What?s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today?s technology, and you?ll find there isn?t anything to compare. It?s sosuperior today.Richard: I agree.。

His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose.

Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”had altogether replaced the sisters’original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1.teacher at a kindergarten2.Good Morning to All3.Happy Birthday to You4.Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters’ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. Thisnew song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters’ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: KaraokeDalin: It’s Mike’s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar? You have a special place just for singing? In America, bars sometimes havea karaoke night where the customers can sing a song, but we haven’t special karaoke bars! Dalin: Really? In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together. We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups? Singing is not a very in thing, so I don’t sing very well.1. F2. F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn’t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray’s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing‘Cause everyone listens when I start to singI’m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I’m singingThanks for all the joy they’re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I’ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I’m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I’m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn’t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what’s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That’s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can’t understand why it’s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night.Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn’t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?Unit2II. Listening Skills1.

I’m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She’s already written Book Seven? I’m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn’t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said theline, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV.

Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It’s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie.So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I’m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You’re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What’s on your mind?A: I’ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.A: It’s nothing.B: I’ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets?A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings. B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak.They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!V. Let’s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry’s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What’s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today’s technology, and you’ll find there isn’t anything to compare. It’s sosuperior today.Richard: I agree.Unit3II.

When you get to the part where I’m expected to promise to ‘love, respect and obey her,’‘giving up all others,’ and ‘be true to her forever,’ I’d be happy if you’d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom’s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FTask 3: Long Distance FriendshipsAmerican weddings are not always the same. I’d like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get。

People from some countries think it is OK to show up1 late for a meeting and some people even don’t think they need to come at all! As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is not acceptable. Whereas2 in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time.
