They won't be able to find people to work down coal mines in the future. Tim: They'll invent new kinds of machinery.Harry: Nonsense. The only sort of power they'll use in the future is atomic power.02reporter from a local newspaper is interviewing some students on the subject of students and money.Reporter: Excuse me. Are you a student?Student 1: Yes, I am.Reporter: Forgive my asking you, but do you have to take a part-time job in the ho1idays? Student 1: Not really.

Male: You must have a good landlord, and people with a sense of humor behind the bar. If the landlord is bad, the pub will be bad.Female: I love old pubs. If it's one of those modern places, I won't go in.Male: And a good pub must have good beer. If the beer's no good, people will look for another place.Female: I won't go if there isn't a garden. I have children, and if the pub doesn't have a garden or family room, we can't go in.My grandfather used to have a beautiful gold pocket watch. He wore it on a fine gold chain across the front of his waistcoat, and when I was small he promised to leave it to me in his will."When I'm gone," he said, "this is going to be yours."Unfortunately that will never happen now. About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park."We'll do better than that," said my grandfather, "we'll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square." So off they went. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset."My watch," he said, "it's gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons."301My name is Daniel. I am French. I live in a small town. I work in a hotel, but I do not live in the hotel. I live with my parents. My home is near the hotel, so I walk to work every day.02There is some sugar, there is some coffee and there is a lot of tea, but there is not much jam. There are some tomatoes, but there are not any eggs or biscuits and there is not much milk. So we want jam, eggs, biscuits and milk.八101Jurg: Mrs. Scott ...Mrs. Scott: Yes?Jurg: I'm afraid I've had an accident.Mrs. Scott: Oh, dear, what's happened?Jurg: I've spilt my coffee.Mrs. Scott: Never mind. Here's a cloth.02Klaus is using the launderette for the first time.Klaus: Excuse me, do you know how this works?Housewife: Yes. Put the washing inside ... shut the door ... the money goes in here, then when the machine starts you have to put the soap powder in through here.Klaus: Is that all?Housewife: Yes, you don't have to do anything else until the machine stops.Klaus: Thank you.Terry: Frank's getting married.James: Is he really?Terry: Yes he is.James: I don't believe it.Terry: It's true.James: Who's he marrying?Terry: A girl he met on holiday in Spain, I think.James: Good heavens ... where are they going to live?201A: Do you love me?B: I'm very fond of you.A: Yes, but do you love me?B: Uh ... You mean a lot to me.A: Why won't you answer my question?B: What question?A: Do you love me? Come on! I want to know.B: I care for you very deeply. You know that.A: That isn't the same thing!B: What kind of answer do you expect?A: The truth! I want the truth!B: How can I possibly answer such a question?02Do you remember Sally Green, the swimming star? She was the girl who broke all the records at the last Olympics. Where is she now? Last week our reporter, Tom Parker, went to see Sally in her Californian home.Tom: Is it true that you don't swim at all now?Sally: I'm afraid so. I'm too old.Tom: But you are only twenty!Sally: That's too old for a swimmer. If I swam in an international competition now, I wouldn't win. So I'd rather not swim at all.Tom: But don't you enjoy swimming?Sally: I used to, when I was small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard. I used to get up at 6 am to go to the pool. I had to train before school, after school and at weekends. I swam thirty-five miles every week!Tom: But you were famous at fifteen. And look at all those cups.Sally: Would you like to polish them? It's true that I have some wonderful memories. I enjoyed visiting other countries, and the Olympics were very exciting. But I missed more important things. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming. What can I do now?3There is a small shop at the end of our road. I buy my newspaper there every Sunday. This is the only shop that is open on a Sunday, so it is always very busy. They sell milk, eggs, biscuits, tea and coffee. You can get aspirins, toothpaste or a writing pad there. It is a nice little shop.02This evening I am going to the cinema. I sometimes go with Beatriz, but this evening I am going alone. Beatriz is nice, but she talks a lot and when I go to the cinema I like to watch the film. The film I am going to is an old one, but it is very good. It is a Hitchcock film.九101Sophie: Here's some coffee.George: Oh, fantastic ... er ... is there any sugar?Sophie: Sugar ... yes, of course ... here you are.George: Thanks ... er ...Sophie: What's the matter now?These: Er ... are there any chocolate biscuits?Sophie: No, there aren't.George: Oh ...02Kathy: Where do you live?David: Near Victoria Station.Kathy: In a flat or a house?David: In a flat. Houses are terribly expensive.Kathy: What's your flat like?David: It's small and the building is old, but it's comfortable. It's very near my office.03Christine: When did you buy that new necklace?Libby: I didn't buy it. It was a present.Christine: Oh, who gave it to you?Libby: A friend.Christine: Anybody I know?Libby: Don't ask so many questions.04Tom and Anna saw a film yesterday.Tom: It was exciting, wasn't it?Anna: Yes, it was.。

Perhaps we all saw the movie with the same name. Avatars are becoming a normal part of our life. Well... I should say our online life. Almosteverywhere you go on theInternet you see avatars. Sometimes it's awebsite asking you to make an avatar, and other times it's peopl e's real avatars. Do you have one? Or two, or three? I see a lot of avatars that are kind of cute and look likeJapanese anime. One of the most popular things is to choose an animal as an avatar. I always take a long time to choose my avatar. It's important to make one I really like. It has to be funny. I also like avatars that move. All of the best avatars I've seen move. They are usually very funny, and clever.第2课:一分钟英文:Autumn-秋天Autumn is such a cool time of the year. Of course it is cool because thetemperatures drop after summer. But it is also cool because it’s such a great time of the year. I love the changing of the leaves. The different autumn colours are one of nature’s most beautiful scenes. Sometimes I can’t stop looking at the mountains near my house. They are like an artist’s palette of gol ds, reds, yellows,browns and other autumnal colours. In America they call autumn ‘fall’ because that is when the leaves fall from the trees. I like the coolness of autumn. Summer is over but you can still wear a T-shirt – just about. You can also spend hoursoutdoors without sweating. Autumn is the best time of the year to go hiking and go for long walks.第3课:一分钟英文:Art-艺术I’m a great art lover. I look at beautiful paintings and sculptures and wish I could be artistic. I can’t draw or paint to save my life. I wonder why some people are so talented and can create amazing pictures, when other people, like me, can’t even draw good matchstick figures. I would like to fill my house with art from all over the world. It’s interesting to see how different cultures have different kinds of art. There’s nothing better than visiting art gall eries when you go to another country. I prefer more traditional art. I don’t really und erstand a lot of modern art. I look at an exhibit of a pile of bricks in a museum but can’t see how it’s art. I always laugh when my chil dren say, “Daddy, I can do better than that!” I often think they can.第4课:一分钟英文:Apartments-公寓In the USA, they’re called apartments; in the UK they’re called flats. They are a modern invention. I don’t particularly like them. I don’t think it’s good for so many people to live so close together. It’s not good for people to live on top of each other. I don’t und erstand how people can live above the second floor. It’s not natural to live in the sky. The thing I hate most about apartments are the lifts (Americans sayelevator) and the fact there’s no garden. More and more people are moving into apartments. This creates problems with overcrowding. There aren’t enough spaces to park your car, there’s nowhere to throw your rubbish and you have to wait ages to reach your floor. Give me a little house with a little garden any day.第5课:一分钟英文:Anti-aging Creams-减龄面霜The other day I saw an advert on the Internet asking for volunteers to test a new skin cream. It was an anti-aging product. How is it possible for a cream or l otion to stop us looking old? I don't think any skincare goods can make us look younger. I certainly don't believe cosmetics companies that say their expensive creams can remove wrinkles. They just want to make lots of money. Why do people believe them? How do they know their creams work? They did not test their products on thousands of people over 50 years. I think if a person uses an anti-aging cream for 50 years, they woul d not even l ook a year younger when they are 60. This means it's a huge waste of money. Only healthy living can keep us l ooking younger.第6课:一分钟英文:Animals-动物I’m a real animal lover. I’m fascinated by the whole animal kingdom. Iloved animals when I was a kid. I used to read every book I could find on animals. I knew all the different animal species. The most exciting thing for me was going to the zoo. I would spend hours just watching the animals walk around, sit, or even sleep. When I was old er, I went on a safari to Tanzania. I saw real wild animals in the wild. Everyone should do this once in their lives. Looking at animals in their natural habitat is a real honour. Now I’m worried about the future of many animals. Some of my favourite animals are in danger of dying out. We really need to change our lifestyle so our chil dren can have the chance of seeing animals in the wild.第7课:一分钟英文:Aliens-外星人There are aliens out there, somewhere. I strongly believe this. Not sure what they look like, though. I really doubt they are green, like they are in science fiction movies. I also don’t think they l ook like us. But I’m sure they exist. I just don’t think we’ll ever see any or find any. They live too far away. If you think about it logically, there has to be aliens out there. All a planet needs is to be warm and have water and life will exist. There are billions and billions of planets in the universe, so there are probably millions and millions that have life. Alien life. It’s also likely that some of the aliens are much more intelligent thanwe are. I wonder what we’d do if really intelligent aliens visited Earth. What would we ask them?第8课:一分钟英文:Alcohol-酒I hate al cohol. I really don’t und erstand how or why people drink it. The smell of al cohol on people’s breath is disgusting. It’s expensive and it gives you a bad headache. I drank when I was much younger, but I haven’t touched a drop for years. I hated hangovers so I decided to stop drinking altogether. I have a much better time without al cohol. people say they need to drink to relax. They drink and just act and look stupid. Their face goes red and they can’t walk in a straight line. Alcohol is also the most damaging drug in society. That’s what I think, anyway. Alcohol causes many illnesses, traffic accidents, fights and domestic violence. If you banned al cohol, people woul d be healthier, richer and have a better family life.第9课:一分钟英文:Airports-机场Aren’t airports strange places? There’s so much happening in them. People coming, people going; people crying with sadness because they’re going away, people crying with joy because they’ve arrived. Big airports are almost like small towns. It seems like you walk acrossa town by the time you check in and get to your departure gate. The thing I like most about airports is peopl e watching. There are people from all over the world. I also like how everything fits and works together. You check your luggage in and then it disappears, before you see it again at the next airport. I still think airports need improving. There’s not a lot to do there. Airports really need to have a n entertainment area so people can kill time.第10课:一分钟英文:Airplanes-飞机Airplanes are amazing. How d oes something so big and heavy get off the ground? I’m alwaysamazed at how the millions of different parts work together. Travelling by airplane is always a wonderful experience. I don’t care whether economy class is cramped and has no space. I like playing with the in-flight entertainment system, especially now they have all the latest movies. I also love airplane food. Many of my friends say it’s disgusting, but I love it. I often ask the passenger next to me if I can have the dessert or roll they don’t want. The only thing I don’t like about planes is turbul ence. When the airplane hits those air pockets, I always worry we’ll crash. But I once read that turbulence has never caused an airplane to crash.第11课:一分钟英文:Advice-建议I don’t know what I would do without my friends’ advice. They’ve all given me so much good advice over the years. It’s sometimes very difficult to make decisions on your own. Listening to advice can be great for helping you make the right decision. The greatest piece of advice I’ve received was from my father. He told me I can do anything in life if I try hard. He was right. I am now passing on his advice to my own chil dren. Right now I need some advice on money. Myfinancial advisors are telling me to be very careful. That’s very sound advice. I wouldadvise anyone to do the same. Someone asked me the other day about the worst piece of advice I’ve ever had. I coul dn’t answer. I don’t think I’v e had any really bad advice.第12课:一分钟英文:Advertising-广告What is advertising? Is it telling the truth or is it making things l ook better than they really are? Or is it lying? Companies pay a l ot of money for adverts. Some of the ads you see inglossy magazines look like art. The commercials on TV look like mini movies. Do they really change our behaviour? Do adverts make you buy things? I think some advertising is a form of lying. Is BMW really “The ultimate driving machine” like they say in their ads? Britis hAirways used to say theywere “The world’s favourite airline,” but had to stop saying it because it wasn’t true. Personally, I get tired of watching ads on television. They always interrupt a good programme. I like ads in magazines. They’re usually quite interesting.第13课:一分钟英文:Actors-演员Being an actor must be great. I really wish I could act. I’d love to have the confidence to act in front of people. Being a member of the audience at the theatre is great, but acting on stage is better. I wonder what it’s like to be a movie actor. I think you need to be beautiful or handsome to be a successful Hollywood or Bollywood actor. They all look great. Actors are very lucky. They get paid huge amounts of money to do what they love doing. My favourite actors are all dead now. I really like the actors in the old black and white movies. They all looked so cool. Actors in the old days seemed to be more glamorous than today’s actors. The best thing about being an actor is that all of your friends are famous too.第14课:一分钟英文:Accidents-事故I wonder how many accidents I’ve had in my life. I’ve had a few serious ones where I’ve ended up in hospital. Traffic accidents are the worst.They’re always painful. I haven’t had too many work-related accidents.I suppose that’s because I do office work and that’s not so dangerous. Most of my accidents are those around the house. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve hit my thumb with a hammer. I’m also really good at standing up and hitting my head on something. I’m not as b ad as my friend though. He’s a real accident looking for somewhere to happen. Almost every time we meet, he has some story to tell about his latest accident. He’s quite unbelievable. I think I’d be very worried if I were his mother.第15课:一分钟英文:Bl ood-血液I hate the sight of blood. Looking at it makes me go all weak at the knees. I can’t even look at my own bl ood. I don’t know why. The thing I hate most is giving blood for a medical check. I fainted once after I saw my blood in a small bottle. If I have a nose bleed, I have to sit down for 30 minutes before I feel better. It’s impossible for me to watch operations on TV. I wish I could donate blood to others. I can’t. I know giving bl ood is really important, but I’m not brave enough. One thing about blood I do find interesting is blood types. I think your bl ood type can affect your personality. I know that in some countries, people with blood type A would not be a good romantic match for someone withblood type O.第16课:一分钟英文:Birthdays-生日Birthdays are brilliant. I’m 62 years old and I still love them. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad birthday. In fact, I think birthdays get better and better the older you become. Sure, kids love birthdays because they get presents and get to eat cake. But when you get older, birthdays make you feel special. It’s your special day. Even if no one wishes you a happy birthday, it’s still your special day. A lot of my friends think I’m mad. Theyhate their birthdays because it means they’re another year older. I hope I get tocelebrate my hundredth birthday. I’m not sure if I can blow out 100 candles though. When I look back at all my birthdays, it’s difficult to choose the best. I’ll just say my last birthday is always the best one.第17课:一分钟英文:Being Single-单身Being single has its advantages and disadvantages. I think it’s better to stay single when you’re young. You need to live and have fun. You also need the freed om to do what you want, when you want. Being single in your twenties gives you l ots of time to go travelling, see the world and experience different things. Most people like being singl e in theirtwenties and then want tosettle down in their thirties. I think being single later in life can be sad. All of your friends are married or attached and peopl e tend to go out and party less. I think being single when you’re old would be very lonely. The longer you stay single, the harder it becomes to settl e down. In some countries, people think you’re strange if you’re single later on in life.第18课:一分钟英文:Being Married-结婚Getting married is one of the happiest days of anyone’s life. Being married is also full of happiness, but there are also many difficulties. It isn’t always easy to be married. You have to put up with your spouse’s bad habits and moods forever. You have to negotiate andcompromise on many things from who’s first in the bathroom in the mornings to where you go on vacation. Of course, being married also has many wonderful sides to it. You have a lifelong friend who will love you forever. You share many wonderful times together and support each other through good and bad times. And you grow old together and look back on years of happy memories. I think being married is great for your soul.第19课:一分钟英文:Being Afraid-害怕An American presid ent once said the only thing you have to fear is fear itself. Can’t remember which President, but never mind. I think that’s an interesting quote. It’s so true, most of the time. We all spend a lot of time worried or afraid that something bad will happen, and then nothing happens. It is the fear that frightens us, not the thing that might or might not happen. And then there are phobias. Millions of people are afraid of something that the rest of the world thinks is quite normal. How can you be afraid of things like peanut butter? There’s actually a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Amazing. Fear is sometimes good. It makes us al ert and can keep us safe in a dangerous situation.第20课:一分钟英文:Beauty-美丽People say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That means if someone thinks someone else is beautiful, then they are beautiful. I think the id ea of beauty is interesting. Why do we think some things or some people are beautiful and others aren’t? Some peopl e think a buil ding is beautiful, while others think the opposite. People nowadays spend too much time and money on beauty. I agree with the expression, “beauty is only skin deep”. This means that what’s really important is some one’s heart and character, not what they look likeon the outside. It’s a little strange, and unfair, that you have to be beautiful to be a top actress or even a news read er on TV. I think there should be equal rights for most of us “non-beautiful” peopl e.第21课:一分钟英文:Baths-淋浴One of my favourite times of the day is bath time. I absolutely love taking a bath. Baths are so much better than showers. Having a bath is the most relaxing thing. There’s nothing better in life than sinking into a hot bath and l etting the water take away my troubles. A bath really makes you feel great. I especially like taking a bath before going to bed. Bath time is pretty much the only time of the day when you can really pamper yourself. It also means a l ot of quality time to yours elf. It’s perfect for listening to music and reading a good book. The only thing I don’t like about bath time is when I fall asleep and the water goes cold. Or even worse –when you want a bath and there’s no hot water.第22课:一分钟英文:Banks-银行I’m not the world’s biggest fan of banks. I’ve had too many bad experiences of them. I really don’t know how they can advertise and say they look after you. They don’t. Bank charges are way too high; you spend ages waiting to be served; and then they say no if you wanta loan. The bank I bank with makes dozens of mistakes with my account. The thing they’re best at is making excuses. I’m not at all surprised so many banks did badly in the credit crisis. I hope they change. Bankers get far too much money. All they do is desk work. Banks need to focus a lot more on real customer service. At the moment banks only offer an excuse for customer service. They don’t even offer you a drink when you sit down and open an account.第23课:一分钟英文:Bad Habits-坏习惯What are your bad habits? I think everyone has bad habits. Not everyone agrees on what bad habits are. Some smokers don’t think smoking is a bad habit. Young people don’t think listening to loud music on the train is a bad habit. In Japan, slurping your noodles is a sign that you enjoy your food, but making a noise while eating in England is not good. Have you ever tried to break your bad habits? I have quit smoking and have stopped leaving things laying around the house. I wish other people would stop their bad habits. I get annoyed when people are late for meetings or talk loudly on their phones in public. I also think many motorists need to think about their driving habits. Perhaps I should point out their bad habits.第24课:一分钟英文:Babysitting-照顾婴儿I loved babysitting when I was younger. It was a really easy way to make money. All I had to do was sit in my neighbour’s house and look after the kids. That was the easy bit, because the kids were usually asleep in bed. The parents would give me a lot of money for watching DVDs and eating snacks. When I was even younger, I liked it when my babysitter came round. She would always play games with us and let us stay up late. She would send us to bed just before my parents came home. I know in some countries, babysitting isn’t so common. It isn’t part of the culture. I suppose that’s not such a bad thing. I read a lot in the papers nowadays about babysitters hitting the chil dren because they don’t sleep. That’s really bad.第25课:一分钟英文:Cyber Crime-电脑犯罪I don’t think people und erstand cyber-crime. It’s only just started. In the future, it’s going to be a huge problem. There have already been a few amazing examples. A few years ago the whole Internet in Latvia was attacked by another country. Cyberspace has become a new battleground. Countries spy on each other. If there’s a war, it’s possible one country could attack the other country’s Internet. This woul d mean all communication, transport, etc would stop. It would causehuge damage to hospitals and other important buildings. But cyber-crime is happening today to ordinary people. Have you ever heard of phishing? That’s with a ‘ph’ not ‘f’. You really need to be very careful about what information you put online.第26课:一分钟英文:Cyber-bullying-网霸The Internet can be a scary place these days, especially because of cyber-bullying. It’s difficult to open a newspaper these days and not see a story about this. It’s a really nasty and growing problem. Cyber-bullies are real cowards. They hid e behind their computer and scare people, send them hate mail or threaten them. Even worse is when they publish pictures of their victims online. I have a friend who had a really bad time at the hands of a cyber-bully. He or she spread lots of gossip and lies on the Internet. My friend’s reputation was badly damaged. A really bad thing is how young cyber-bullying starts. Many schoolchil dren physically bully others in class and then continue online. Their victim isn’t safe anywhere.第27课:一分钟英文:Current Events-时事I love the news and current events. I’m ad dicted to what’s happening in the world. It doesn’t matter what kind of news it is, I love watchingit. Even if it’s from countries I’ve never heard of. I’ll even watch the same news programme three or four times and not get bored. I guess it’s so fascinating because it’s real. I get really interested in a story when it breaks, then like to follow it as it unfol ds. Following current events makes you quite knowledgeable. I know most of th e world’s capitals and most of the world’s lead ers. Watching the news is really looking at history happening now. But you never know what’s going to happen next. Every time you turn on the news or read a news story, you’ll find something unexpected.第28课:一分钟英文:Culture——文化I’m really interested in the culture of other countries. I d on’t know why, but I always think other cultures are more interesting than my own culture. Every time I travel, I learn wonderful, strange, amazing and interesting things about other cultures. One of the biggest surprises I had was when I went to the USA as a child. I’m English so Ithought Americans had the same culture as me. When I went to America Iund erstood Americans and Brits are very different people. Und erstanding the culture of other people is very important. It helps us all to get along. If everyone really tried to learn about other cultures, the world woul d be a more peaceful place. The world is becomingsmaller, so I think this is happening.第29课:一分钟英文:Crime-犯罪Why do we have crime? When will it all stop? It’s sad that there is so much crime in our society. It hurts so many people. Most people in the world just want to live happily and be good neighbours. Why do some people turn to crime? Money is a big reason. Many criminals pickpocket, steal, kidnap, or even kill people to get money. There are many terrible crimes in the world. Perhaps the worst is ethnic cleansing. This is a crime against humanity. Many peopl e are killed because of their colour or religion. People who commit this crime rarely go to prison. Have you ever been a victim of crime? What d o you think we need to do to reduce crime rates? Perhaps you shoul d write to your government. Tell your lead ers enough is enough.第30课:一分钟英文:Credit Cards-信用卡Many years ago I read that credit cards were the thing of the future. Credit card companies were telling us that plastic woul d replace cash. Well, this hasn’t happened. People are still using notes and coins. The Internet has increased the use of credit cards, but many people worry about putting their card details online. Lots of personal info gets stol enby fake sites pretending to be famous banks or online stores. Personally, I love credit cards. I always prefer to pay by card than by cash. When you use your card, you get air miles and every six months you can cash them in for presents. I do worry about credit card security. I keep waiting to see a huge purchase on my statement that I didn’t make.第31课:一分钟英文:Cosmetics-化妆品I wish we didn’t need cosmetics. We spend so much time and money on them. And for what? We take them off at night, only to put them all on again in the morning. If you think about it. they’re amazingly expensive. Why does a lipstick or a small tube of cream cost so much? The really expensive cosmetics d on’t actually make you look that different than really cheap ones. A lot depends too on your skill –choosing the right colours to match your face, and how you put your make-up on. I sometimes laugh at the ladies selling cosmetics in department stores. They’re meant to be experts but they look like clowns. I mean, do they really need to paint their faces? One thing I worry about is whether the chemicals damage your skin.第32课:一分钟英文:Cosmetic Surgery-整容手术Would you like to change your face and body? Woul d you like movie star looks? A lot of people want to do this. They pay l ots of money to go to a cosmetic surgeon and change their appearance. The most common operation we call a nose job. People who are unhappy with their nose have it reshaped. Other people want their wrinkles to disappear to make themselves look younger. People also go und er the knife and have things made bigger or smaller. I think this is a waste of money. I'm not the best-looking person in the world but I would never consider plastic surgery - even if it was free. Some people have so many operations they end up looking like they’re made of plastic. I'd rather stay looking human.第33课:一分钟英文:Computers-电脑It’s hard to believe that no one had computers a few years ago. I wonder how people lived. There must have been a l ot of paperwork. I can’t imagine writing everything by hand. I also wond er how everything worked without computers. We need computers today for everything. Hospitals, airports, the police… nothing can work without computers. I’m sure I’d be ten times busier than now if I didn’t have a computer. Imagine having to find a piece of paper and an envelope and then walking down the street to mail a letter! I love my computer.It makes everything in my life so convenient. Sure, it freezes and crashes sometimes. Sure I lose some data. But that’s not often. Most of the time my computer is like my best friend.第34课:一分钟英文:Coffee-咖啡Scientists and doctors can’t make their minds up about coffee. One study says it’s really bad for us and the next report says it’s good for us. I’ve even read that 10 cups a day is good for ourbrain. I like a cup of coffee at certain times of the day. I must have a coffee first thing in the morning. I can’t survive without my morning coffee. I have another cup or two when I get to work. And that’s it. I never drink coffee after lunchtime. If I do, I can’t sl eep at night. The only time I drink coffee in the evening is if I go to a nice restaurant. Coffee seems a lot morecomplicated these days. When I was younger it was just coffee. Now it’s latte, frappucino and all kinds of other strange words.第35课:一分钟英文:Cl othes-衣服I have too many cl othes. I have many cl othes I’ve only worn once. Sometimes I even find something at the back of a drawer that I never even wore. I bought it, put it away, and then forgot about it. I’m sure I don’t need so many clothes. I don’t think anyone really needs 11 pairs。

He wore it on a fine gold chain across the front of his waistcoat, and when I was small he promised to leave it to me in his will.“When I’m gone,” he said, “this is going to be yours.”Unfortunately that will never happen now. About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.“We’ll do better than that,” said my grandfather, “we’ll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.” So off they went. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset.“My watch,” he said, “it’s gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons.”Section Three:Dictation.Dictation 1:My name is Daniel. I am French. I live in a small town.

So I’d rather not swim at all.Tom: But don't you enjoy swimmingSally: I used to, when I was small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard.

Of course, they want to know how much it will cost and how long it will take. Listento their questions and write the answers you hear.

But how long will it takeMale Assistant: Only about a week.Instructor: Look at the answers the assistant gives his customer.

Could you lend me oneTony: I’ll have to think about it.Section Two:Tapescript.A.Word Exercise:Female: Listen to the instruction. This is an example. Put the letter B in box 1.

We decided to do something different. We show a beautiful woman, simply but elegantly dressed, beside a series of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, and it works. Because she is wearing the perfume, and because she is next to expensive and beautiful paintings, our perfume must be beautiful and expensive too.

When I was a child I used to enjoy painting, but I also liked makings things out of clay. I managed to win a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That is probably the reason that I managed to get into art college four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery.I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay, I enjoy working on a potter’s wheel. I’m happy working by myself and being near my home. I don’t like mass-produced things. I think crafts and craftspeople are very important.

That’s the question. When do you work best? For me the answer is easy. I work best in the morning. All my creative work is done before lunchtime. I get up at about eight, and then have breakfast. I listen to the radio a bit, and read the papers. And then I start. Usually I work from nine or nine-thirty until twelve but after that I’m useless. On a good day I write fifteen hundred words or more, sometimes two thousand words, in the morning. Then after lunch I go for a walk, or read. In the evening I like to relax, go to the pub or go out and meet people. If you are a writer you need self-discipline,self-confidence, commitment.

You see, because of the high level of unemployment, so many teenagers nowadays leave school and find that they have no chance of getting a job, and this obviously makes them feel bored and frustrated. And as a result of this, they’re much more likely to get drunk and so on. Another thing of course is that you get groups of unemployed teenagers wandering around the streets with nothing to do, which can easily lead to trouble of one sort or another.As a result,As a result ofresult from,result inthought group1)12:01:50;2)05938, 3)325, 4)3.45 5)2,800 pounds6)3:0; 2:1;7) 0.4, 2064.8, 8 points, 1794.3 8)68p 9)78,956 pounds 10)3,250,00011)5.68% 12)1/8 13)11.45 pounds, 14 15.99 14)2,398; 2,489; 2,4631. 3.05 pounds, 4.30 pounds 55p, 7.90 pounds10 pounds, 6.35 pounds 3.65 poundsan eighthpound-pence;stroke, on the stroke, sun stroke/heat stroke,ccaaa cabbabacbbccDow Jones Index fell by point fournilfishery, descend fromstumbleLesson 25: It was early afternoon, and the beach was almost empty.

Won't you sit down?Elina: Good evening. Thank you.Johnson: Now, I notice you left the Hotel Scandinavia in l980. What are you now doing inEngland?Elina: I'm spending a few months brushing up my English and getting to know the countrybetter.Johnson: And you want to work in England too. Why?Elina: I'm keen on getting some experience abroad, and I like England and Englishpeople.Johnson: Good. Now, I see from the information you sent me that you've worked in yourlast employment for nearly four years. Was that a large restaurant? Elina: Medium-size for Finland, about forty tables.Johnson: I see. Well, you'd find it rather different here. Ours is much smaller, we have onlyten tables.Elina: That must be very cosy.Johnson: We try to create a warm, intimate atmosphere. Now, as to the job, you would beexpected to look after five tables normally, though we get in extra staff for peak periods.Elina: I see.Johnson: I'm the Restaurant Manager and Head Waiter, so you'd be working directlyunder me. You'd be responsible for bringing in the dishes from the kitchen, serving thedrinks, and if necessary looking after the bills. So you'd be keptpretty busy.Elina: I'm used to that. In my last position we were busy most of the time, especially insummer.Johnson: Good. Now, is there anything you'd like to ask about the job? Elina: Well, the usual question??what sort of salary were you thinking of paying?Johnson: We pay our waiters forty pounds a week, and you would get your evening mealfree.Elina: I see.Johnson: Now, you may have wondered why I asked you here so late in the day.

Past Mistakes.??Me, officer? You're joking!??Come off it, Mulligan. For a start, you spent three days watching the house. Youshouldn't have done that, you know. The neighbors got suspicious and phoned thepolice ...??But I was only looking, officer.??... and on the day of the robbery, you really shouldn't have used your own car. We gotyour number. And if you'd worn a mask, you wouldn't have been recognized. ??I didn't go inside!??Ah, there's another thing. You should've worn gloves, Mulligan. If you had, you wouldn'thave left your fingerprints all over the house. We found yourfingerprints on the jewels,too.??You mean ... you've found the jewels???Oh yes. Where you ... er ... 'hid' them. Under your mattress.??My God! You know everything! I'll tell you something, officer??you shouldn't have joinedthe police force. If you'd taken up burglary, you'd have made a fortune!D. Monologue.Why do people play football? It's a stupid game, and dangerous too. Twenty-two menfight for two hours to kick a ball into a net. They get more black eyes than goals. On dry,hard pitches they break their bones. On muddy ones they sprain their muscles.Footballers must be mad. And why do people watch football? They must be mad too.They certainly shout and scream like madmen. In fact I'm afraid to goout when there's afootball match. The crowds are so dangerous. I'd rather stay at home and watch TV. Butwhat happens when I switch on? They're showing a football match. So I turn on the radio.What do I hear? 'The latest football scores.' And what do I see when I open a newspaper?Photos of footballers, interviews with footballers, reports of football matches. Footballersare the heroes of the twentieth century. They're rich and famous. Why? Because they cankick a ball around. How stupid! Everyone seems to be mad about football, but I'm not.Down with football, I say.Section 3Dictation.(sound of knocking at door)Mrs. Brink: Come in. Oh, it's you again, Tom. What have you done this time?Tom: I've cut my finger and it's bleeding a lot.Mrs. Brink: Let me see, Tom ... Hmmm, that is a bad cut.

• D. Why can't I do what I like?
• I hope I never grow old! My grandfather lives with us and he's making my life a misery. When I was small he was kind and cheerful. But now he's always complaining and criticizing. I mustn't interrupt when he's talking. It's rude. He doesn't like my clothes. 'Nice girls don't dress like that.' I shouldn't wear make-up. 'Natural beauty is best.' Sometimes he interferes with my homework. 'When I was young we used to do math differently,' he says. Honestly, he's so old he doesn't know anything. But that doesn't stop him criticizing me. He doesn't like my friends or my favorite records. 'You're making too much noise,' he calls. 'I can't get to sleep.' When he's not complaining he's asking questions. 'Where are you going? Where have you been? Why aren't you helping your mother?' He thinks I'm six, not sixteen. Anyway, why can't I do what I like? It's my life, not his.
