Megan: Hi, George. Are you planning a trip?
George: No, I’m just looking at this brochure. It features expensive hotels and their luxury suites. Megan: I didn’t know you were rich!
George: I can dream, can’t I? Look at this place, it’s in Hong Kong. Guests staying in the Peninsula Suite get their own limousine driver. They also have 24-hour butler service.
Megan: And you pay for it, too! It’s over $4,800!
George: Well, this one’s a little cheaper. It’s only $4,300 a night.
Megan: Hmmm, the Hotel Ritz. It’s in the center of Paris — great for sightseeing. Lots of famous people stay here … Wait, you can’t stay there.
George: Why not?
Megan: It’s the Coco Chanel Suite. You have to wear designer clothes and you don’t have any! George: Very funny.
Megan: Wow! The Royal Suite at Burj Al Arab is really expensive! It’s almost $7,000 — for one night!
George: Yeah, but look at the details. They actually have a “helipad” — a place for landing your helicopter. Oh, and it’s also the tallest hotel in the world.
Megan: Cool! So, when are you taking me there?
George: Ha ha. Actually, I think the Peninsula is my favorite. What about you? Just a minute. Hello? … Yes, it is … Oh, hi, Luke … oh, really? … Uh huh … That’s great! … OK, talk to you later!
Megan: Who was that?
George: It was Luke. He makes the travel arrangements for my boss.
Megan: And?
George: My boss is going to Hong Kong on a business trip and he wants me to go with him. Megan: When?
George: In two weeks. Best of all, we’re going to stay at the Peninsula!

Nick: Did you see “Look at them now!” last night?
Janet: I had to do my homework, so I only saw the last ten minutes. Who was it about?
Nick: Last night they featured Jim Carrey, Jewel, and um … What’s the name of that actor from West Africa? He was in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
Janet: You mean Djimon Hounsou?
Nick: Yeah. Anyway, it’s funny to think that they were all broke a few years ago.
Janet: Yeah. And now they’re wealthy and famous. Life is so strange. Hey, I didn’t know that Jim Carrey used to be broke.
Nick: Yeah. As a child, he even had to work an eighthour shift after school every day. His family needed the money. Can you imagine?
Janet: I could never do that. It sounds really hard.
Nick: Yeah. He started his career as a stand-up comic before he acted in movies. He’s always been a funny guy.
Janet: What did you say about Djimon?
Nick: He was discovered in Paris by a fashion designer. He started out as a model. Then he appeared in music videos for Madonna and
Janet Jackson. Did you know that?
Janet: No, I didn’t.
Nick: He’s also appeared on TV. He’s done it all!
Janet: Well, I did see the part about Jewel. Her family sure was penniless!
Nick: Basically, yes. She started singing with her father when she was 14.
Janet: And then her parents divorced. She had to grow up really fast.
Nick: I know, but her life is good now. She has a great boyfriend —he’s a real-life rodeo cowboy! They seem really happy.
Janet: “Look at them now!” is such a great show, isn’t it?
Nick: It sure is. Maybe we can watch it together next week.

When I was a university student, I bought my first car. It wasn’t very expensive because it was really old. It was a little red Toyota. I worked in a restaurant during summer vacation and in fall I finally had enough money. I bought the car from my friend’s father. I took all my friends driving around every weekend and we had so much fun. A year later I had an accident. I wasn’t hurt, but the car was destroyed. I still miss my first car.

Vacation every day: The peaceful life Mary Larson has wished for
Mary Larsen was 43 when she got divorced. It was a new life for her, and she started considering what was really important in her life. She was working 60 hours a week as a banker to pay for a big house, expensive furniture, a new car, and all the other “important” things in life. But she had no time for what she really enjoyed: going out on her old houseboat.
One day, she realized she could live on the boat, and forget about the mortgage payments. She sold her house and all her furniture. For the last six years, she and her dog Buddy have lived on the boat, which is only a fraction of the s ize of her old house. Her “home” is a marina on the river, and the rent costs only $200 a month, including water and electricity.
Inside the boat is one room, about 5 meters by 4 meters. It’s divided in two parts by a curtain. One part is Mary’s bedroom, t he other is the living room and kitchen.
There’s also a small bathroom with a shower. “I used to spend every weekend cleaning and maintaining my house. Now, it takes me two or three hours a month,” Mary says.
“My friends think I’m crazy,” she says. “But I wake up in the morning and hear ducks and birds. I can go fishing from my living room.” Now, she works only part time. She uses all the extra hours for writing stories, bicycling, volunteering, and visiting friends. On weekends, she goes along the river on her boat, exploring new places. “Would I go back to my old life? Never,” she says. “It’s so peaceful here. It’s like being on vacation every day.”

Money from unexpected sources
The San people live in southern Africa. Scientists say that they may have been living there for as long as 40,000 years, hunting animals and gathering plants. Until recently, the once mighty San were broke and unemployed.
They had lost their land and were no longer engaged in traditional activities, such as hunting. The few young San people with jobs were working as farm laborers. They were not learning about their ancient culture and language. That may all change. The San have struck it rich. They recently signed an agreement with a large drug company.
The San have traditional knowledge about plants. The drug company is especially interested in a particular cactus and how the San use it.
The San used to go on hunting trips. While away from home, they chewed on the cactus to suppress their appetite —they no longer felt hungry afterwards. Using the San’s knowledge, the drug company plans to make a new drug from this plant. For people around the world who eat too much and have weight problems, this new drug could really help them by suppressing their appetites.
The San have a positive plan for this new wealth. Their first step will be to get jobs for their people. Their next priority will be education. Through education, they hope to save their culture and language for future generations. When you think of a monk, you might think of a quiet man living in an isolated place. The “free monks” of Greece do live in a monastery, but they are anything but quiet. In fact, they sing. They have been recording their songs and selling many records in Greece.
Young music listeners love to listen to the “free monks.” Their songs are recorded in different styles (digital keyboard and rock, for example), and the themes are not only religious. The brothers also sing about problems like drugs and globalization.
The monks haven’t made a fortune from their record sales, but they have made a profit. They use the money to pay for summer camps for teenagers. At the camps, the teens can play soccer and go horseback riding. The monks also donate money to other social programs that help people.

1)They will sell their knowledge about using plants as medicine.
2)They will get jobs and education for their people to save their culture and language.
3)The monks record and sell their music.

Tara: Well, that letter looks official. What is it?
Mike: Do you remember how I told you guys that my uncle died two weeks ago?
Tara: Yeah, I was really sorry to hear about him. He was the one that you used to hang out with when you were a kid back in Minnesota — the guy who lived on that little farm, right?
Mike: Yeah … well, apparently, his farm wasn’t so “little.” I just got a letter from his lawyer today. It seems that Uncle Max owned all o f the land in the area … and he left it all to me in his will. Guys, I’m rich!
Roberto: You’re kidding!
Tara: Your Uncle Max was rich?
Mike: Yeah — but I never knew it!
Roberto: What?
Mike: I never knew he was rich. When I was a kid, Uncle Max lived a real ly simple life. It wasn’t like he was penniless or anything, nothing luxurious. He had his farm, his old truck … and that was it.
Roberto: Wow! So what happened? Did he strike it rich or something?
Mike: No. But he always used to tell me: “Mickey” — that was his nickname for me —“Mickey, all a man needs is a lot of good land and a strong back to work it.” So I guess he must have just worked really hard … or maybe he invested in his land … I don’t know. Whatever he did, it paid off.
Roberto: And you say he didn’t have a really lavish lifestyle? You know, like swimming pools for his cows or something?
Mike: No. He never seemed to spend any money at all. I mean, he was always generous with me … offered to give me spending money … even wanted me to go to privat e school, but I said “no.” I thought he was just being nice. Last year he called me to see if I wanted to vacation at his “summer house.” Ha! I thought he was just joking … turns out he’s got one … in Europe!
Tara: Mike, how could you not have known?
Mike: I’m telling you, this guy never spent money on anything! He never bought anything that wasn’t on sale. He used to have a timer by his phone so that people wouldn’t talk too long! Guys, he would bring home all of the sugar and ketchup packets every time he went to a restaurant. Roberto: Wow. And no one knew …
Mike: I didn’t. In fact, I used to offer to give him money when I could. No wonder he laughed at me. Who would have thought he was that well -off …
Takeshi: Who’s well-off?
Tara: Mike! He’s rich. His u ncle left him loads of cash.
Takeshi: Yeah, right, then maybe you can pay for dinner tonight.
Mike: That’s a great idea. I think I’ll do that … I’ll take you all out to a nice dinner … my treat! Tara and Roberto: Yeah! All right! Sounds great! (head to door)
Mike: (to Takeshi ) Um … Takeshi? I’m a little short on cash until Uncle Max’s money comes. Do
you think I could borrow some? (Takeshi reads the letter ) I’m good for it.

中级口译听力教程第三版2A An intermediate course of English listening. Third edition. Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors. 2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk. W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked. 2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below. The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families. Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear. 1. Since you said you totally agreed with Tom’s views, you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

Unit eight. Part one. New dwellings in Great Britain. 3. Exercises. 1. Listen to the following passage about housing in Britain, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear. In all 189,000 new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006, a rise of 3.6 percent on 2005. Growth in owner occupation has been particularly marked increasing from 50 percent in 1991 to 67 percent at the end of 2006. Both the public and the private sectors build housing, but about four fifths in new dwellings are built by the private sector for sale to owner occupiers. Local authorities are encouraged to see their housing role as in the neighboring one. Working with housing associations and the private sector to increase the supply of low cost housing for sale or rent. Without necessarily providing it themselves. Housing associations are now the main providers of new social housing. Housing provided at rents affordable to people on low incomes, usually substantially below market rents. This allows local authorities to focus on improving the management of their own stock. Rents on new private sector lettings in Great Britain were deregulated in 1988 with the aim of stimulating the private rented sector, which had been declining from most of the last century. These policies had been taking forward with the housing act in 1996. Questions: 1) How many new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006? 2) What percentage was owner occupation at the end of 2006? 3) What are local authorities encouraged to do? 4) Why were rents on new private sector lettings deregulated in 1988? 2.
